Perfect Superstar

It was already 11 o'clock in the evening when Qi Zihao came out of the theater with the two girls.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" is 90 minutes long, and it takes 3 hours to rewatch it, plus the time in between, so it is naturally very late to watch the second scene.

Jiahui began to worry: "Oh, it's late, the family must be worried."

Ni Hui didn't care, "What are you afraid of? I haven't called yet. It's not too late!"

Qi Zihao said thoughtfully: "I'll take you home now, we'll take a taxi."

When they came here, the three of them took the subway, which was cheaper but definitely not as convenient as a taxi. Qi Zihao finally got his courage at night, and knew that he must not be stingy to please girls.

He used the holidays to work to make money, isn't it just for the present?

Jiahui hesitated: "That would be too costly..."

In the evening, Qi Zihao invited her and Nihui to watch "A Chinese Ghost Story" twice, and bought a lot of snacks for Sinihui's mouth. Not to mention the many, there must be three or four hundred yuan.

And Qi Zihao, like her, is obviously not a child of a rich family.

Taxis in Xiangjiang are not cheap.

Before she finished speaking, her younger sister Nihui pulled her forward and said, "Stop babbling, take a taxi!"

Jiahui was dragged away by Nihui, and Qi Zihao hurriedly followed behind them.

But when passing by the peripheral product store at the entrance of the theater, his footsteps involuntarily slowed down.

The business of the small shops around the movie was good, and there were quite a lot of people crowded inside, most of them were couples, and where they/they gathered, there was a large promotional poster of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Obviously, what everyone is buying are peripheral products of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Qi Zihao was a little surprised. He didn't pay attention to it when he first came here. He didn't expect that this ghost movie has peripheral products for sale. Generally speaking, the peripheral products sold in Xiangjiang Cinema are basically Hollywood blockbusters, especially comic hero movies.

"Ah, look at this Ning Caichen doll is so cute, I want to buy it!"

"Boss, I want this set!"

"I like Yan Chixia,

This sword is so handsome, how much is it? "

"I want Nie Xiaoqian..."

The chattering voices of the customers in the store made Qi Zihao's steps towards the door hesitant.

As soon as he reached the door, he stopped and touched his pocket, with a struggling look on his face.

After a while, Qi Zihao gritted his teeth, turned around and rushed towards the store.

When he ran out of the theater again, the two girls had been waiting outside for four or five minutes.

Jiahui wasn't angry or dissatisfied, but Nihui yelled, "Did you fall into the latrine? Let us wait so long, the family is calling!"

They thought Qi Zihao went to the bathroom.

Qi Zihao didn't dare to provoke Nihui, he quickly walked up to Jiahui, and handed over the things he just bought.

"Ah Hui, this is for you."

What he gave to Jiahui was a set of limited edition dolls from "A Chinese Ghost Story". There are a total of four figures in the set, namely Ning Caichen, Nie Xiaoqian, Yan Chixia and Grandma Treant.

This set of dolls is very beautifully made. The clothes, accessories and hair are completely customized according to the stills.

Of course, the premise of being beautiful is the price, a set of 388 yuan is not discounted, and Qi Zihao will grab the last set!

"ah!"

Jiahui didn't expect that Qi Zihao just went to buy a movie doll for herself, so she was stunned.

She blushed again, quickly waved her hands and said, "This is too expensive, I can't take it."

Ni Hui's eyes lit up, and she snatched it without hesitation: "Sister doesn't want it, then it's mine!"

Jiahui was ashamed and anxious: "Nihui!"

She actually liked this set of dolls very much, but she didn't want Qi Zihao to pay so much money, so she felt very conflicted.

Qi Zihao scratched his head and said, "Let's go."

He stopped a taxi by the side of the road, and Qi Zihao took the two sisters downstairs to their house.

"Ah Hui, goodbye..."

Jiahui, who didn't speak all the way, nodded, and dragged Nihui up the stairs.

Qi Zihao watched the figures of the two disappear by the stairs, feeling lost.

Standing there quietly for a moment, he turned and prepared to leave.

His own home is nearby, so he let the taxi go first to avoid spending more money.

This night's date made Qi Zihao lose a lot of the money he had accumulated from his part-time job.

But he didn't feel any pain.

"Qi Zihao!"

Qi Zihao had just taken a few steps when he suddenly heard a familiar voice calling from behind.

He turned his head in astonishment, only to see Jiahui who had just gone upstairs ran down again and flew to him.

"Thank you!"

After saying thank you, Jia Hui stood on tiptoe, kissed Qi Zihao on the face as quickly as a dragonfly touches water, then ran away like a frightened little rabbit, and disappeared on the stairs again in the blink of an eye.

It was as if Qi Zihao had been petrified, and it took a long time before he was awakened by the cold wind blowing from the long street.

He raised his head in disbelief, and touched the place on his face where Jiahui had kissed.

He smirked.

Ordering two movie tickets for "A Chinese Ghost Story" is undoubtedly the most correct and luckiest thing for him!

...

On February 21, "A Chinese Ghost Story" was officially released in various theaters in Hong Kong, and won 3.28 million first-day box office with 18.75% of the film schedule.

The box office of "Painted Skin" was 5.9 million that day, nearly twice that of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Judging from the box office data, "Painted Skin", which has been released for a week, has completely crushed "A Chinese Ghost Story", and the latter seems to be unable to pose a threat to the former's market position at all.

However, many people in the industry also learned a piece of news that surprised them.

That is the peripheral products of "A Chinese Ghost Story", which sold 2.65 million on the same day, and the box office was 5.93 million, surpassing "Painted Skin" by 30,000.

"Painted Skin" also has peripheral products, but very few, only a few sets of posters, and the sales volume is negligible.

This makes people feel incredible!

You must know that not long ago, after Lu Chen's studio spent money to order a large number of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and the surrounding things were known, many people in the circle talked about it as a joke.

They feel that Lu Chen is too ignorant that the sky is high and the earth is thick. The peripheral products of movies are the patents of Hollywood blockbusters. A China-Hong Kong co-production with an investment of only 20 to 30 million yuan actually produces a large number of peripherals. It is like throwing money into the water, etc. Put it in the warehouse to eat ashes!

But the reality is not what these people imagined. "A Chinese Ghost Story" actually achieved more than two million sales on the first day. If there is nothing tricky in it, then...

That means this movie has great potential!

The second one is delivered. (To be continued.)
