Chapter 224: Rising Against the Market Trend, Creating Another Miracle (3, Average Subscription 6600, Monthly Vote Requested!)

Seeing the opening line "I think I found your son", Guo Gangtang's heartbeat only slightly accelerated.

He had heard too many such claims over the years, most of which ended up being empty talk, and some were just scams, but he still fell for them every time.

This time was no different, even if the clues were fake, he would give it a try, but he would leave any possibility unchecked.

This comment was a bit long, so he continued to read on.

"My family lives in a village in Linzhou, Henan Province. I just finished watching "Lost and Love" and was very moved by your story of finding your son, so I want to tell you some clues I know.

"My brother's elementary school classmate was born in 1995, just like him. Although I can't remember clearly, my parents said that he suddenly appeared in our village when my brother was two years old..."

Born in 1995, two years old is 1997, which is when his son Guo Xinzhen was abducted!

Guo Gangtang's heart skipped a few times and continued to watch, "His family is considered quite rich in our village, but his parents are a little old. He has two older sisters. The eldest sister is 20 years older than him, and the second sister is also a few years older. Moreover, his parents treat him very well. The only family in our village that orders milk is theirs, and he is the only one who drinks it. His second sister doesn't even have this treatment. ”

The family has two daughters and cannot give birth to a son. This is also the most prominent feature of many families who buy children. They firmly believe that only sons can carry on the family line, even if they are not of their blood.

According to Lao Guo’s experience, these buyers usually treat these purchased children better than their own daughters. In this way, even if the children grow up, even if they know that they are not the biological children of this family, the emotional investment of more than ten or twenty years makes it difficult for them to give up this deformed family relationship.

If this child is really Zhenzhen from his family, Lao Guo can almost imagine who the child will be closer to after ten years of companionship and care. His heart aches when he thinks of this.

He continued to read. This comment also said, "I remember very clearly that he had a small meat ball behind his ear. When my brother and others played together, I saw the burn scars on his left toes and soles, which are exactly the same as what you described. If you trust me, please send me a private message and I will give you an address and contact information.

"Oh, and when he was a kid, he always spoke in inverted sentences for no apparent reason."

Guo Gangtang's heart was pounding. This was too real this time. He immediately sent a private message to the other party. He thought he would have to pay some money, but the other party directly sent an address, with detailed house numbers and contact information.

The other party also said: Our family is from this village, so I can't tell you my real identity. I hope you can understand.

Guo Gangtang hurriedly copied down the address and the other party's comments, and then deleted them to protect the other party.

I didn't expect it to be in the next province, which seemed to be only 200 kilometers away. I passed Anyang several times, but never Linzhou.

He wanted to rush over to verify it now, but if it was true, could he take the child away? Every place had a place to protect it. If he could run to the other party's territory alone, would he not even be able to see the child?

Just as he was thinking about it, Director Wang Quan called him, and he actually received a private message from the anonymous person.

"Lao Guo, I think this is very real. Do you want to go and see it?"

"Of course!"

Wang Quan, "Then I'll let my driver go with you. He was a soldier and is good at fighting. If you get beaten again, at least you have a helper."

Lao Guo laughed, because it is common to be beaten when looking for children, "But it's too much trouble for you."

"No trouble, you can check it out first. If what this person said is true, let the police help investigate. After all, you are a celebrity now, and the police will pay enough attention to you." Wang Quan suggested.

Lao Guo nodded, and Wang Quan gave him Xiao Wei's contact information and asked them to meet in Linzhou.

After getting this done, Wang Quan breathed a sigh of relief. After half a year, it should be over.

"Lost and Found" is still in theaters, and it has earned 15.5 million box office in two days, which is a big miracle for this theme.

The online and offline discussions were also very high. The audience was moved by the ten-year experience of the male protagonist and the prototype character in searching for their son, especially the sentence "Only on the road can you feel worthy of your child", which was the original words of the prototype Lao Guo, and it was also the motivation for him to insist on cycling to find his son. This sentence made countless parents feel the same.

However, the natural sense of sadness of the subject matter still discouraged many viewers. On Monday, the audience was much less, and there were only a few people during the day.

Chen Kexin was in Shanghai, promoting "The Warlords", Li Lianjie was filming "The Mummy 3", Xu Jinglei was filming "Shinjuku Incident", and Andy Lau had to take care of the promotion of "Lost and Love", so he and Jin Chengwu became the main force of the promotion of "The Warlords".

Andy Lau obviously cared more about "Lost and Love", after all, this was his leading role, and in "The Warlords", he was actually only the third male lead.

After watching "Lost and Love", Chen Kexin finally felt relieved.

He did not deny that this was an excellent commercial film. The script was written with a good rhythm, worthy of being written by Wang Quan himself. The director was also very capable, worthy of being the president of the Directors Association. However, in the most popular cinema in Shanghai, there was almost no one in the theater. Judging from the market reaction, 50 or 60 million may be the end of this film.

Waiting for his own "The Warlords" to be released in 12 days will not affect his box office at all.

This time I have assembled three major superstars and one four-star actress. Although there was "Old Orphan" before and "Assembly" after, the latter is a modern war movie and there are no stars, so you don't need to worry about it at all.

"Lost Orphan" did make him have some concerns. After all, the star cast is very strong. Now that he sees the market performance, he has dispelled his concerns.

As a result, Chen Kexin's box office expectations for "The Movie" have been greatly increased. He hopes to surpass this year's "Transformers" and reach the 300 million mark!

If I have better luck, it would be even better if I can surpass the 360 ​​million of "Titanic". By then, I will be the number one Chinese director!

But in fact, Chen Kexin has higher expectations for himself. He hopes that he can also become famous in Hollywood, just like Li Yi and Wang Quan.

Now in the Hong Kong film circle, Liu Weiqiang has become the object of ridicule because he had previously revealed in interviews that he rejected Wang Quan's director invitation.

The movie he rejected now is called "Purge", written by Wang Quan himself, and has already grossed 60 million U.S. dollars at the box office in North America. It is another classic example of using a small amount to make a big difference.

However, another film that Liu Weiqiang accepted after rejecting this film turned out to be a mess, and in the end he didn't even want to sign his name.

However, Chen Kexin envied Liu Weiqiang very much. Because his "Infernal Affairs" became famous at home and abroad, Hollywood companies also rushed to invite him, which was beyond her reach.

Now that Chen Kexin has shot this super Chinese-language blockbuster that cost 40 million U.S. dollars, she also hopes to be noticed by Hollywood. Even if it is noticed by the royal power and invited to film in Hollywood, that would be great.

He doesn't care about working for a junior, as long as he can gain fame and fortune.

The next day, the box office of "Orphan" was released on Monday, with 3.8 million, and the total box office is about to exceed 20 million.

Huayi Brothers Company is currently working on "Assembly Number" from top to bottom. Their schedule is after "Tou Ming Zhuan", so they do not regard "Lost Orphan" at the beginning of the month as an imaginary enemy. "Tou Ming Zhi" is the biggest concern.

However, Feng Xiaogang is still paying close attention to "Orphans". When he saw Monday's box office, he asked the Wang brothers, "Have we overestimated the power of the king? With Andy Lau and so many stars participating, plus he wrote the screenplay himself, the box office will be great." It doesn’t look like it can even pass 100 million.”

Wang Zhongjun said, "It may also have something to do with the scale of distribution. There are only more than 300 copies. And for this kind of subject matter, this result is considered acceptable."

Wang Zhongjun thought to himself: People can make back their money at the domestic box office by shooting niche themes, but Lao Feng can lose money by shooting costume blockbusters in the mainland. The gap is still very obvious.

At this time, Wang Zhonglei looked at the computer and suddenly said, "Good guy, how shameless!"

"What's wrong?"

Wang Zhonglei read to the two of them, "According to our reporter, two days after the release of "Orphans", an insider revealed the parent-child information to the prototype character Guo Gangtang after watching the movie. Now Guo Gangtang has found the place, met the child, and said That child is most likely his abducted son Guo Gangtang, thank you "Lost Orphan", thank you Mr. Wang Quan... Please continue to pay attention to Sina Entertainment for follow-up reports!"

Feng Xiaogang, "Isn't this just hype?"

Wang Zhonglei, "It's obviously just a hype. It's just a movie. People have been looking for it for ten years and couldn't find it. You found it just two days after the movie was released. How can it be such a coincidence? It must be to stimulate box office hype."

Wang Zhongjun looked at the computer and said, "After a random search, several news items are talking about this matter. I don't know when the authenticity will be confirmed."

Wang Zhonglei sneered, "I guess there won't be any results after the movie is finished, and then it will be settled."

Feng Xiaogang, "I didn't run away just to sell more tickets. This is obviously Qiankun Laowang's style. Mr. Wang, you have to think about the publicity points of "Assembly" by then. This time it must be better than "The World" "No Thieves"

This news is indeed powerful, and the box office of "Orphan" climbed to 4.1 million on Tuesday.

With the news that the prototype of "Lost Orphan" has made significant progress in finding a son, the name of "Lost Orphan" can be seen in the entertainment and social pages. Andy Lau's appearance in the film has also frequently appeared in newspapers, magazines, and even TV news.

Countless domestic media poured into Linzhou. At first, many people thought it was hype and couldn't believe that a movie could have such power.

However, Guo Gangtang said in an interview that the other party contacted him after watching the movie, but the other party was unwilling to reveal his identity, possibly because he was afraid of retaliation.

Later, the local police in Linzhou also came forward to issue a statement. They had indeed found the child suspected of being Guo Xinzhen, and the other adoptive parents were also under control and were waiting for DNA test results.

According to the confession of the child's adoptive parents, Hu and Tang, suspected of abduction, have also been arrested and controlled in another place. Even if the child is not named Guo, it can be concluded that he is a trafficked child.

As a result, the box office of "Orphan" was 4.5 million on Wednesday, 4.8 million on Thursday, 7.5 million on Friday, and 8.9 million on Saturday, which actually exceeded the first day's box office!

Sunday was higher than Saturday, with the box office reaching 58.2 million in two weeks!

Qiankun Pictures Wang Qiankun said in an interview with the media, "This is a happy thing. Our company has decided to add another 100 copies. I hope Lao Guo will have a good result. In fact, many families who buy children, the people around them Relatives, friends, and even neighbors in the same village are all aware of the incident. I hope this film can spread more widely and be seen by more people, so that more people who know the truth can discover the truth and actively cooperate with the police."

With the increase in copies, and the fact that Lost and Love became a hot news event, even CCTV's evening news followed up on it. On Monday, Lost and Love's box office reached an astonishing 6.3 million, compared to just over 3 million in the same period last week.

Chen Kexin was a little panicked at this time. As a father for the first time, he certainly hoped that the child was really the prototype character, but as a competitor, he hoped that the DNA result would be "no".

He was very entangled. Would his huge war action blockbuster be sunk by a low-cost reality theme?

No way, no way!

At this moment, Wang Quan had already flown back to Los Angeles. Before leaving, he also explained the donation to Chen Chuling, but asked to keep a low profile.

If a reality-themed movie makes money, it must donate money. Then many investors will probably be discouraged and simply not shoot it. It's okay. I don't want to be a bad person. This is similar to the principle of "Zi Gong redeeming people".

Don't raise the moral standards to a height that ordinary people can't reach. That will only make kind people give up morality. Therefore, the donation is in his personal name and is his heart to Lao Guo, regardless of whether the movie is profitable or not.

The money was not donated to Lao Guo alone, but to set an example for him to set up a charity organization to help people find their children.

Like many people who have helped him in the past ten years, the organization mainly provides fees for DNA testing and comparison. When facial recognition technology matures in the future, it will be easier to find the child.

Wang Quan will not stay in Los Angeles for long this time. He will organize the team and prepare to go to India to film.

At this time, good news came from "The Hangover". The Hangover, which was released in its second week, defeated the magical blockbuster "The Golden Compass" starring Nicole Kidman and costing $180 million in its first week.

"The Hangover" earned $33 million in the second weekend, and a cumulative box office of $112 million in two weeks, while the first weekend box office of "The Golden Compass" was only $25 million. This time it may lose a lot of money. This incident once again proves how big the risk of letting female stars carry the box office is.

In the villa in Beverly Hills, Wang Quan and Gadot watched the Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan in the bathtub. "Lust, Caution" became the biggest winner, winning seven awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best New Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Costume, and Best Original Music.

Fan Bingbing also won the Best Supporting Actress for "A Ghost in My Heart". This movie also gave Yu Feihong the confidence to pass the review. There is also a ghost in her movie.

However, the news that "Lust, Caution" won so many awards did not cause any waves in the mainland, because the DNA comparison results of Guo Gangtang and the target child came out, and the national media moved in anticipation. Even CCTV sent reporters to block the test agency and wait for the results. This scene can be said to be the focus of the whole country.

And the results did not disappoint the people of the whole country. The results proved that it was in line with the laws of genetics, and the probability of parentage was greater than 99.99%, supporting the parent-child relationship!
