37 [Living Fairy]

As the box office of the movie "Seventy-Two Tenants" continues to be popular, Ye Jin's reputation is becoming more and more popular.

Before, the media and the melon-eating crowd were sarcastic at him, believing that he was crazy about gaining and losing, saying crazy about his words and sensationalism.

But now, after his prophecy was successful, many people regarded him as a living god. They said that he had the ability to predict the future. The spread came and went, and the more he passed, the more he passed, the more he became, so that many people believed it to be true.

"Master, you can really predict the future. Can you predict me when I will get rich?" Zhou Xingchi asked Ye Jin curiously.

"If I could predict the future, I would have won the Liuhecai number long ago. Once every issue is over, would I have to endure hardship?" Ye Jin smiled.

"Uh, that's right." Zhou Xingchi was stunned and nodded.

"Since that's the case, Master, how can you see that "Seventy-Two Tenants" will be a big hit at the box office?" He still couldn't figure it out. If it weren't for the prediction of the uncertainty, what's the reason?!

"There are three reasons." Ye Jin stretched out three fingers and said, "First, the audiences are basically young people today, from the age of fifteen to thirty.

They grew up in Xiangjiang since childhood. Cantonese is their native language and the language they are most familiar with, so Cantonese movies are more intimate to them, which is hard to match in Mandarin movies.”

"Secondly, from 1969 to today, the annual GDP growth rate has been above 10%, and is known as the four Asian dragons, along with South Korea, Taiwan and Xingcheng.

The prosperity of the economy has enhanced the people's pride and has also made Xiangjiang's local culture increasingly recognized by the people. Therefore, Cantonese films are bound to recover."

"Three, Bruce Lee's sudden death has caused people to doubt Kung Fu movies. You think Bruce Lee's martial arts skills are so high and he will die at such a young age. What value is Kung Fu? So in the future, it will be the low point of Kung Fu movies.

You can see the box office of several kung fu films that have been released recently, and it is difficult for Wang Wei, Tian Jun, Miao Keyan and Deng Guangrong to boost the box office.

As the box office of Kung Fu movies falls, other types of movies will naturally benefit. So in the next two or three years, the box office of comedy and moon films will rise."

"With three factors combined, then the Cantonese version of the comedy "Seventy-Two Tenants" will naturally create a miracle at the box office," Ye Jin concluded at the end.

"Wow!" Zhou Xingchi's eyes widened when he heard this. He felt that his master was really knowledgeable and could tell so many truths, and it sounded very reasonable.

"Master, you are so knowledgeable." He couldn't help but praise, "How did you think of so much?"

Ye Jin smiled.

In fact, the current Hong Kong movies are very similar to those in mainland movies in their previous lives.

In his previous life, at the beginning, the mainland film market always dominated by foreign language films and Hong Kong films. At that time, the most popular mainland stars were trying to go to Hong Kong and Hollywood to develop.

However, later, with the continuous rise of the mainland economy, the people's sense of national pride became higher and more and more respected mainland culture. Mainland movies have repeatedly created box office miracles, while foreign-language films and Hong Kong films account for a stake in the film market.

Nowadays, the most popular Hong Kong stars can participate in the big productions in the mainland, and may not be able to be the protagonist.

With the comparison of experiences from previous lives and the media reports, it is naturally not surprising that Ye Jin could say this.

"If you learn more knowledge and think more, you will be as good as me sooner or later." Ye Jin patted Zhou Xingchi's shoulder and said.

"Yes, Master." Zhou Xingchi nodded.

...

On this side, as Ye Jin finished his guidance on Zhou Xingchi, he immediately heard a knock on the door.

Zhou Xingchi walked over and opened the door, and saw a man who looked like a boss standing outside the door with a large bag of gifts.

"Who are you looking for?" Zhou Xingchi asked curiously as soon as he saw it.

"I want to ask, is Mr. Ye at home?" the man grinned.

"At home. What's the matter with him?" Zhou Xingchi asked in confusion.

The man's eyes lit up and he immediately squeezed into the room, "Ah, Mr. Ye, I am Mai Qichang, the vice president of Bowen Film Company."

"Oh, hello, Mr. Mai." Ye Jin immediately stood up and came forward, shook hands with Mai Qichang, "Please sit down! Sorry, my room is too messy."

"It's okay, it's okay." Mai Qichang smiled and then put the gift down, "Mr. Ye, have a little care."

Ye Jin glanced at it and saw that these gifts were really good. There were foreign wine, tea, supplements, etc., which seemed worth 8900 yuan.

If you give rituals to others, you will have something to ask for. I don’t know what Mr. Mai is asking for him to do.

"Mai is so polite." Ye Jin smiled, "I don't accept the reward without any merit. I wonder what Mr. Mai has to give?"

"That's right, Mr. Ye, I heard that you are proficient in the art of [Qimen Dunjia], and you can calculate and predict the future. Our company is going to make a movie called "The Desperate Prodigal Son". We are about to invite Deng Guangrong, Pan Bingchang and Yi Yang to star in it." Mai Qichang said straight to the point, "I would like to ask you to help calculate whether this movie can be a big hit at the box office."

"Ah, this..." Ye Jin was stunned when he heard this.

He thought Mai Qichang wanted to invite him to film, but he didn't expect that he was asking him to help tell fortunes. When he learned this request, Ye Jin was amused and crying.

He only knows a little information about Hong Kong films, which is limited to those classic movies. As for other movies, he knows little, how dare he make a fool of himself. If the prediction is wrong, wouldn’t he be unlucky!

"Mr. Mai, I can't help you predict." Ye Jin waved his hand quickly.

"Mr. Ye, don't worry, I won't let you work in vain. This is 10,000 Hong Kong dollars." Seeing this, Mai Qichang thought Ye Jin thought the gift was light, so he took out a stack of banknotes and said.

When Zhou Xingchi saw it, he immediately took a sip of saliva.

Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars, this is the first time he has seen so much money, so red looks so attractive!

"Mr. Mai, don't get it wrong. Actually, I don't understand [Qimen Dunjia] at all, and I can't predict the future." Ye Jin waved his hand and smiled, "Have you ever seen a master who predict the future, live in such a small house?"

Mai Qichang was stunned and nodded immediately.

If Ye Jin really had the ability to predict the future, he wouldn't have to live so shabby.

"Then how did you predict the box office of "Seventy-Two Tenants"?" Mai Qichang asked curiously.

Ye Jin then told his reasons again.

"Mr. Ye is really a talented person. Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." After listening to it, Mai Qichang suddenly realized, "Since kung fu films in the past two years are no longer popular, then we will not make "The Desperate Prodigal Son."

"Mr. Mai, you decide for yourself, I won't give you any advice." Ye Jin smiled.

"Okay, I'm disturbing." Mai Qichang immediately stood up, "Mr. Ye, you will receive this 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. I hope I can cooperate with you again in the future."

"If you don't have any merits, why are you so embarrassed?" Ye Jin quickly refused.

"You don't have to be polite. Your words have avoided our company's losses of hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars. What does a mere 10,000 yuan mean?" Mai Qichang waved his hand.

"Okay, thank you." Ye Jin nodded and took the money.
