Chapter 1022 The Man Who Ascended to the Altar
Twelve o'clock.
Chen Ziyu pushed the door open and came in: "Ayue, are you going to have lunch?"
"How was your rest this morning?" Tan Yue put the documents aside, and he was also preparing to have lunch.
"I slept for two hours and I'm fully recovered." Compared with the morning, Chen Ziyu's mental state was completely like a different person.
"That's good!" Tan Yue smiled and said, "Let's go and have lunch."
The two took the elevator to the restaurant.
Chen Ziyu said, "Thank you for your hard work this morning. I will handle the documents in the afternoon myself."
"There are not many documents." Tan Yue said, "Recently, the company has received many project cooperations from foreign companies. What do you think about this?"
"Indeed, after the box office performance of "The Godfather" was a big hit, we received more and more cooperation intentions. My current idea is to put it aside for the time being. After all, it's just a name now. In the fiercely competitive international market, the most important thing is to continue to improve our own strength."
Tan Yue nodded slightly, Chen Ziyu's idea coincided with his own.
'Ding Dong'
The elevator door rang.
"Mr. Tan, Mr. Chen."
As soon as they arrived at the restaurant, they were greeted by many employees.
The two responded one by one and walked towards the private room.
Because it was dinner time, there were many employees in the restaurant, which seemed particularly lively, but Chen Ziyu still heard many employees discussing "The Godfather".
"Mr. Tan's movie is a hit again this time! I read the news and found out that the box office of "The Godfather" is the second in the history of global movies. It's awesome!"
"Me too. Who has paid attention to these things before? But it's just a little bit away from the first place. It's a pity."
"It's a pity, but think about it. It's already very good to have such a box office result. It's simply a myth."
"I don't know how Mr. Tan feels now. If it were me, I would wake up laughing in my dreams at night."
The two walked into the private room, and Chen Ziyu smiled and said, "Mr. Tan, how do you feel about "The Godfather" achieving such a good box office result?"
Tan Yue pretended to think: "I guess I will wake up laughing in my dreams at night."
A burst of laughter came from the private room.
"Mr. Tan, Mr. Chen, what do you want to eat today?" The person who spoke was the manager of the restaurant.
Tan Yue looked at Chen Ziyu and motioned for her to order.
Chen Ziyu randomly ordered two dishes that they both liked. After the staff left, she said, "It was a few years ago when "Night City" exceeded the box office of 7 billion US dollars. I remember that some media said that no director could achieve this result. This is indeed the case. In the past twelve years, not only has no movie achieved such a box office result, but no one has even come close. This time, the box office of "The Godfather" is close to 7 billion US dollars, and the popularity is unprecedented."
"The box office results of "The Godfather" also greatly exceeded my expectations. I never thought that there would be such a high box office result." After a pause, Tan Yue continued, "It just happened to help the company's subsequent development plan, although it was a little faster."
"This is not a little faster." Chen Ziyu remembered that at the annual meeting, when discussing the company's development plan, it would take at least five years to let the world know about the Brilliant Entertainment Company.
"It's good. The five-year plan was completed ahead of schedule."
With the box office results of "The Godfather", the international entertainment industry will definitely know that there is such an entertainment company in China.
There will not be only this one item in the development plan, there are many other details, and it will take some time to accumulate to truly complete it.
‘Buzz buzz’
Tan Yue felt the phone in his pocket vibrate, took it out, and saw that it was a message from his mother.
I saw a few more photos sent over, a wedding scene.
Tan Yue remembered that the groom was the child of the neighbor next door. When he was still wondering why his mother suddenly sent a few wedding photos, Li Yulan sent another text.
“Xiao Yue, your aunt Wang’s child got married today, five years younger than you.”
“Seeing that many children younger than you are married, your father and I are very anxious. I know you are very busy at work, and I don’t want to urge you often. But you are not young anymore, and you and Tzuyu have been dating for many years. You are both heading for marriage, so you should consider your marriage when you have time.”
After a while, Li Yulan sent another message.
"Xiao Yue, don't think your mother is annoying. I just couldn't help but nag a few words when I saw others getting married today."
Tan Yue tapped the screen to reply:
"You are right. We should indeed consider getting married."
"I have been busy with work before and have not met Tzuyu's parents yet. I will find a time to meet them first."
"Then I will arrange for our two families to sit together for dinner."
'Buzz buzz'
Li Yulan quickly replied to the message: "Okay, son, work hard and don't forget your lifelong event."
"I will do it as soon as possible."
Tan Yue put the phone back in his pocket. He knew that his parents had been anxious about his marriage, but he had been too busy with work in the past few years and the company was still in the key stage of going international, so it had been delayed.
Now that "The Godfather" is offline, it is considered a temporary end, and the company's reputation has already been established in the international entertainment industry.
After thinking about it, I think the next period of time may be appropriate.
"What's the matter? Who sent you a message?" Seeing Tan Yue's expression, Chen Ziyu asked.
Tan Yue recounted what happened just now.
Chen Ziyu held her cheek with one hand, looked into Tan Yue's eyes, and said seriously: "I want to get married too."
After all these years of getting along, she has already completely recognized Tan Yue, especially she herself did not expect that such a strong person like her would gradually rely on others.
Although the two of them live together now, they often fantasize about their married life.
Tan Yue said: "I haven't met your parents yet. Ask your uncle and aunt when they have time. We will meet first and then talk about our marriage."
"Okay, no problem. I will call them after I go home in the evening." Chen Ziyu thought that she had to let her parents make time this time. They had not met for various reasons before, which led to all things being postponed.
"I hope everyone will have time this time." Tan Yue was also a little worried.
"There will definitely be time this time. They will discuss their daughter's marriage soon. They will definitely make time to come."
'Dong Dong'
The restaurant staff opened the door and came in: "Mr. Tan, Mr. Chen, your dishes are here."
"Thank you!" Tan Yue handed Chen Ziyu a pair of chopsticks: "I didn't eat much this morning, eat more."
Chen Ziyu smelled the aroma of the dishes and her stomach began to growl: "I think I can eat two bowls of rice today."
"Eat, I'll serve you rice after you finish."
Lunch time ended quickly and the two returned to their offices.
Tan Yue poured himself another cup of tea, lay on the sofa, and fell asleep soon.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
'Dong Dong Dong'.
"Come in."
Tan Yue got up and rubbed his cheeks to wake himself up.
Chen Ye gently pushed the door open: "Mr. Tan."
"What are these documents?"
Chen Ye said: "Several top foreign entertainment companies want to invite you to communicate on the film industry. We received two today."
With the amazing box office performance of "The Godfather" during its release, which was 6.959 billion US dollars, Tan Yue became famous in the international director circle.
A few years ago, "Night in Mucheng" ignited the global film market and became the yearning of countless directors in the circle. It was also the goal that every director wanted to pursue.
This time, the box office performance of "The Godfather" and this legendary work was only a few hundred million US dollars apart, which was the closest to this goal.
Tan Yue naturally became the target that many directors wanted to communicate with.
"The Truman Show" and "Forrest Gump" made Tan Yue famous in the global film circle, and "The Godfather" directly made him known to everyone.
"Put it on the table first."
Including today's invitations, a total of 25 invitations were received, all received in the past few days.
Only one of the 25 invitations was from China, and it was a director who had a good relationship with Tan Yue.
"Mr. Tan, I'll pour you a cup of tea." Chen Ye could tell at a glance that Tan Yue had just finished his lunch break, and the water on the coffee table had long since lost its heat.
"Thank you." Tan Yue stood up and returned to the computer, picked up the document and started working.
After making tea, Chen Ye put the water on the desk and left to deal with his own work.
Tan Yue flipped through the documents and tapped the keyboard from time to time.
He was not familiar with many of the companies in the invitation letter. After all, there were countless entertainment companies in China alone, not to mention foreign countries.
As Tan Yue entered the two English letters 'A, N' in the search box, he found the introduction of this company.
'A.N.' is a British entertainment company that has been established for 18 years and is currently ranked in the top 20 in the world. It started entirely with movies. In recent years, due to internal problems within the top management and decision-making errors, the box office of many movies has been very unsatisfactory.
"A lean camel is still bigger than a horse." Looking at the various news about A.N. displayed on the web page, Tan Yue couldn't help but sigh.
After five years of turmoil, the company is still ranked in the top 20 in the international entertainment industry, which shows how deep its foundation is.
Tan Yue wrote down the name and prepared to have someone check the company carefully.
He really wanted to cooperate and communicate with A.N., an international entertainment company that mainly deals with movies, which is in line with the development plan of Brilliant Entertainment.
After all, there are limited things on the Internet, and not all problems can be found. As long as A.N. has solved the problems that occurred in the company before.
Then Tan Yue has the intention of cooperation.
There is another reason for wanting to cooperate with this company.
The invitation letter sent by A.N. is very sincere, unlike some companies that are directly templates.
The strength of the other company is also very good.
Looking at the invitation letters put together, Tan Yue did not rush to reply to any of them. He needed to think about it carefully.
In France, there is a very famous forum in China, where many young people gather. Every day, interesting things happening at home and abroad are discussed on it.
One of the posts was quite popular because it mentioned Tan Yue:
"The recent hit movie "The Godfather" was directed by Tan Yue, a well-known Chinese director. I looked up his directorial career and found that he is a very impressive person. In China, he set the highest box office record in China. Tan Yue has three movies released simultaneously around the world, and each of them has achieved very good box office results and has entered the top ten list in global film history."
"This Chinese director is amazing."
"I got to know this director through the movie The Godfather. I watched The Truman Show and Forrest Gump two days ago. They are also two very good movies."
"I have been following him for a long time. He is a very talented director."
"No matter which country the director is from, a director who can make a blockbuster movie worth nearly $7 billion will be a legendary figure."
United States.
In a cafe on a busy street in Washington, two beautiful girls in their twenties sat by the window and chatted.
"Do you remember The Godfather I told you about some time ago?"
The girl with golden hair drank coffee: "I remember! Many people are discussing it on Twitter now."
"Of course, the box office of this movie will soon reach $7 billion, and the box office performance is enough to rank second in film history."
"What does second place mean?" Obviously this girl doesn't know much about movies.
The girl with brown hair said excitedly: "The world's number one movie box office is a little over 7 billion. This record has been maintained for many years. During this period, not to mention surpassing it, even the box office has not come close."
"I see, no wonder the discussion is so heated, this movie is from China."
"Yes, the director of this movie is Tan Yue, and the "Forrest Gump" we watched together is his movie."
"This director is so amazing."
The girl with brown hair talked about Tan Yue more excitedly.
An activity room at a famous British university.
Today is a day for the film club to organize activities. "The Godfather", as a recently popular movie, is still a hot topic for everyone to discuss.
The six people who arrived early talked about "The Godfather" while chatting.
"You know, many people have been discussing the director of The Godfather recently."
"It would be strange if he wasn't discussed by everyone. With a box office of $7 billion, there are only a handful of such movies in the world."
"I feel that Tan Yue may become a god like the director of Night City."
"With $7 billion, he is already a legendary figure, second in the world's box office history."
"After the video is released on the website, I will watch it again. The Godfather is the best movie I have ever seen."
UK.
High-tech Park.
Two white-collar workers talked about Tan Yue during their break.
"I don't know if this Chinese director will have any more works that reach this level. It's a pity that he almost surpassed Night City this time."
"It's already amazing. I don't know how many people envy him."
"I have watched all three movies he made. He is really strong."
