"Kidd helped Conan to repay his kindness for saving a pigeon in the movie... I was stunned when I knew the reason. What is this, a super cute reason!", "Right! I just said, a reason that I could not imagine, but this seemingly trivial reason is very Kidd's style!"

Tokyo, two female comic assistants have been talking about Kidd since they came out of the theater. They like Kidd so much in the movie just now. They are cool and handsome, and their interactions with Conan are still indistinguishable from the winner. These two men may be born opponents and are both particularly charming characters. ∈  

Meng Huo followed behind, listening to their chat with a smile. When he was interviewed just now, many reporters also caught Kidd's matter to ask. From this, we can see that Kidd was very successful in the movie. The reporters were particularly interested in his appearance, and there will definitely be large reports tomorrow.

"Teacher He Xi!"

Before he walked out of the theater, Meng Huo heard the screams coming from behind. When he looked back, Director Sasaki of Tokyo TV quickly walked up and enthusiastically held Meng Huo's hand: "Great, this movie is done very well! Teacher He Xi, please be sure to hand it over to us for the premiere of "Detective Conan" animation in the future."

"Isn't this of course!" Meng Huo nodded. He would not regret it if he had already agreed.

However, he also understood why Sasaki wanted to mention it again at this time. In fact, if "The Magician of the Early Century" is successful, it will also have a good promotion effect on the animation of "Detective Conan".

Although the audience size of animation is large, some viewers in society always think that animation is a child's thing. These people have a higher recognition of movies. If the movie is successful, the ideas of these audiences will also undergo some changes, which will be of great benefit to animation.

Sasaki thanked Meng Huo again and again. Then he turned around, found Bai Yan beside Meng Huo, and shook hands with her: "Congratulations, Director Bai, you have achieved great success in this transformation and can continue in the animation industry with peace of mind."

Bai Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly. If the transformation succeeds, it will be a good thing for her. In fact, many friends and family still do not recognize her job change, and there are many people in the media circle who are not accused of her job change. But if the total box office of "The Magician of the Early Century" meets expectations, these doubts will disappear, and she can also openly tell others that her choice is right.

But she doesn't have enough confidence yet...

"It's too early to say congratulations today. The premiere has just ended." Bai Yan looked around and the security guards formed a human wall for them. There were dense people outside the human wall. The entire theater was full of audiences, but even so, she couldn't rest assured, including the other directors: "The total box office of 3 billion is always unsure..."

Three billion box office. In theory, China spends one yuan each, which is far more than this number, but this box office is actually quite outstanding in the traditional film industry. The annual output of Chinese movies is very high. However, movies that can exceed three billion box office have never exceeded fifteen movies in a year.

This means that if the total box office of "The Magician of the Early Century" reaches 3 billion, it will definitely be the top 15 popular movies this year. Strictly speaking, if the box office of this year's movie has not changed compared to previous years, the ranking of "The Magician of the Early Century" will be in the top ten.

In the past few years, the 3 billion box office movies have been between 6 and 11 of the year's excellent movies. As an animated film, if "The Magician of the Early Century" can enter the top ten of the total box office this year, it will undoubtedly shock many people's psychology, and no one will doubt that Bai Yan and the others have any problems with the choices they made!

But to reach 3 billion, how easy is this number?

"I'll just say that director, why are you not more confident than me!" Sasaki laughed: "Don't worry, don't worry! "The Magician of the Early Century" will definitely exceed the expected number!"

Bai Yan was very interested in his confidence: "Why are you so sure?"

"Because it has the popularity of "Detective Conan", I have confidence in the original work." Sasaki smiled and said: "The movie is of good quality and the original work is well-known. There is no reason why "The Magician of the Early Century" does not exceed 3 billion box office!"

Bai Yan shook her head slightly, not optimistic: "I know the popularity, I believe there should be 2.5 billion, but 3 billion..."

"There will be three billion!" Sasaki's smile remained unabated and said, "Director Shiraku, the popularity you know is only superficial data. The data has reference value, but it cannot explain everything... "Detective Conan" has been broadcast on our TV station for many years, so I naturally know it better than you."

He knew that "Detective Conan" had much better influence than the superficial data. Although it has been on the air for more than a year, this movie can re-encourage many animated audience's memories, and there is no big problem with 3 billion.

"Okay, Teacher He Xi, Director Bai... The opportunity is rare. How about you come to my house for dinner in the evening?" Sasaki said again: "My wife and daughter have always wanted to meet Teacher He Xi!"

He then turned his gaze to Eiji Takashima who was walking over from behind and said, "Of course, Mr. Takashima and his wife can come here too."

Eating at home was an invitation that was more enthusiastic than usual. Faced with Sasaki's enthusiasm, Meng Huo and Bai Yan looked at each other and agreed without hesitation. When Takashima Hideji nodded, he naturally agreed with his wife.

This is something that happened in Tokyo Cinema. In Ninghai, Alice, who had just finished watching the premiere of the movie, was also praising "The Magician of the Early Century" with her father.

"You're relieved now?" she smiled and said, "I said that this movie is so popular. You were so fascinated by what you watched just now. I told you that you didn't respond."

"I'm really relieved." Xu Jingxin said with satisfaction. He was really fascinated by what he had just watched, and he was also sure of the box office expectations of the movie.

"Isn't that boy Meng Huo's mother?" At this moment, Xu Jing saw Li Qin and several cartoonists walking out of the theater in his eyes, so he smiled and said, "How about saying hello to me? Do you want me to go there with you?"

Alice was a little moved, but she shook her head and refused: "Forget it, there are so many people now. Let's not lead the reporters..."

She took a look at the situation around her. The premiere has just ended. "The Magician of the Early Century" is about to be officially released. People who want to watch the first movie line up, and the entire hall seems very crowded.

In addition to the inside of the theater, there are also many waiting people gathered outside. Unlike when "Five Centimeters of Seconds" was first aired, the screening rate of "The Magician of the Early Century" is very high, and cinemas everywhere regard it as a popular work, and there are many shows today.

But even though there are so many screenings, the theaters are still so lively, which shows how popular "Detective Conan" is.

"The box office on the first day may exceed 500 million..."

Alice thought in surprise. At the same moment, Chen Jie from another city was surprised. She was calling her mother Wang Huifang, and her tone was surprised: "Have you bought the ticket yet?"

"you do not say!"

In Qingcheng County, Wang Huifang shook her head and said, "It's all your fault. A few days ago, he said that there is no need to hurry up the small place. He said that we would definitely buy the first game when we came early today. What's the result? - We came before dawn, but we still didn't buy the first ticket. Now we have to wait here for another two hours!"

She was very angry. In fact, the couple had received an invitation from Li Qin to go to Ninghai to watch a movie. But just a few days ago, when she was about to leave, her husband suddenly said that he couldn't get out of work and could only watch it in Qingcheng. Wang Huifang had a bad premonition at that time. As expected, she almost couldn't buy a ticket today.

If she hadn't pulled her husband up in the early morning, she might not have even watched the second scene!

But in fact, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on her husband. There are only two cinemas in Qingcheng County. These two cinemas do not sell tickets online in advance like big cities. In fact, they do not have official websites at all. If you want to book, you have to go to the cinema. In the past, the cinemas are empty. No matter how popular a movie is, you can buy tickets if you come early.

The husband made his current choice based on his experience, and that was nothing wrong - who would have thought that today's situation was special?

They arrived before the theater was opened, but after arriving, they found a long queue at the entrance of the theater in the early morning. Only then did the couple realize that something was wrong - they missed the first game helplessly, so they had to buy the second game.

"There's no way, who said "Detective Conan" is so popular!"

Hearing Wang Huifang's complaints, Chen Jie couldn't help but giggle.

"Hot, I really didn't expect that the animation was so popular..." Wang Huifang looked around: "This is the first time I have seen the cinema in Qingcheng so lively, and many people have come from the countryside."

She just saw a father and son walking by in front of him. It was obvious from his clothes that they were from the countryside. The father took his son to the theater to watch a movie early in the morning - "Detective Conan" is really so popular!

"Are people from the country?"

"Well, there are still quite a few people." Wang Huifang nodded. She did not discriminate against rural people. In fact, there is not much difference between people in Qingcheng County and rural people. However, it is rare for residents of towns to come to the county town to watch movies.

Although I haven't counted it carefully, there are many special accents in the lively noise in the hall. Qingcheng County's dialect is common, but there are some subtle tone differences between the county and township, which outsiders can't hear, but locals can tell where the other party comes from.

So Wang Huifang was very sure that there were many people from the countryside here, which surprised her.

After talking to her daughter for a while, Chen Jie's working time came, and Wang Huifang had to end the phone.

After hanging up the phone, she returned to her husband and sat down. Her husband was reading a comic with relish, and she didn't care about him. In the past, he never read comics in public, but recently he seemed to be gradually making this hobby public.

This is normal. The relatives, friends and colleagues around the couple know that they are Chen Jie's parents. Chen Jie is very active as an animation voice actor. It is natural for them to read comics and animations. Not only will they not be laughed at, but they will also be regarded as a proof of a harmonious relationship with their daughter.

"But when I was young, I really never thought that she would become a star..." Wang Huifang thought about her daughter so much, and then by a coincidence, she heard a similar sentence not far away: "When Meng Huo's child was still my student, I really never thought that he would become a star."

Meng Huo? Wang Huifang was as sensitive to this name as her daughter's name. Her ears raised up and looked at the sound. She found that an old man was talking to the people around her. What kind of teacher is Meng Huo?

"I said Mr. Xu, Meng Huo is your student?" Some people seem to have similar ideas to Wang Huifang.

"Of course, will I still lie?" the old man glared and said, "I taught him the third grade of elementary school mathematics. This child was very smart at that time, but he was thin and timid, and was not at all conspicuous. I never thought he would become like this, thanks to his good mother."

A math teacher in the third grade of elementary school?

Wang Huifang was ridiculous and terrified. This happened many years ago, and she was a little uninterested. In fact, many teachers would not remember the students they taught at all, but once the students became famous, these teachers would remember them all.

The same is true for Chen Jie. She was also very smart in the past, but not every teacher would talk about her. But since she became a star, Wang Huifang often met her teachers on the road, such as the second grade music teachers in elementary school, the first grade physical education teachers, etc., and they all recognized Wang Huifang and said a few good things about Chen Jie to her.

But Wang Huifang often wondered, if Chen Jie had lost her future due to a leg injury two years ago, who would remember her now?

"Everyone is so realistic..." Wang Huifang shook her head, trying to turn her attention away, but the teacher's next sentence attracted her attention.

"I actually don't have a deep impression of Meng Huo, but I have a deep impression of his mother. He was an amazing woman." The old man sighed: "She is an amazing woman. At that time, in order to allow Meng Huo, who has no urban household registration, to go to school in the county, she ran in the school and the government for half a year, and convinced the household registration matter."

"At that time, I was thinking that if such an excellent mother, if one day Meng Huo's child became sensible, he would definitely become a very powerful person... As expected..." The old man moaned his beard and smiled: "He is promising now. I used to be half-believing and half-doubted... Now seeing so many people waiting to watch his movies here, I realized how amazing that child is now."
