Chapter 1082 That’s My Brother-in-Law

Artist Management Department.

Zhou Can sat in front of the computer, browsing some information.

He just came back from his hometown today.

Zhou Can didn't go back to his hometown last year. He was busy touring around the country in the first half of the year and filming in the United States in the second half of the year.

After returning to China, he didn't go back when others were on vacation.

During the filming process, Zhou Can learned a lot of things, including what Tan Yue said, and suggestions from Ma Guoliang, Fan Shan and others.

He wanted to digest the things quickly and make his acting skills better.

Later, the movie began to promote, and it was not until the end of the year that he went home for the holiday.

Zhou Can didn't know when he would have the opportunity to go back to his hometown again, so he stayed in his hometown for a few more days during the Chinese New Year.

Looking at the latest box office data on the official website of the International Cultural Center, he showed a touch of happiness on his face.

The accumulated box office results of "The Shawshank Redemption" in seven days were higher than those of "The Godfather" in the same period last year.

The final box office results of "The Godfather" were the second in the history of global films, and the difference from "Night in Mucheng" which ranked first was only a little bit.

This gave Zhou Can a bold idea: Can the box office performance of "The Shawshank Redemption" top the global box office rankings?

With the current popularity of "The Shawshank Redemption", it is not difficult for people to have such an idea.

Zhou Can leaned back in his chair, feeling very emotional.

For him, during the entire filming process of the movie, he tried his best to play the role of "Andy" every day.

Such an opportunity is hard to come by. If you miss it, you don't know when you will have the next one.

Therefore, Zhou Can worked very hard.

He only slept four or five hours a day, and the rest of the time he was either filming or analyzing the characters and plots with the script.

Although it was very hard at the time, seeing such box office results today, all the efforts were worth it.

'Ding Dong' The mobile phone placed next to the mouse rang.

Zhou Can recovered, picked up the phone and looked at the message on it, and smiled helplessly.

"Congratulations! Congratulations! "The Shawshank Redemption" has achieved such a good box office performance in the global film market! It won't be long before you become famous all over the world."

Zhou Can looked at the name and couldn't remember what the person looked like for a moment.

It's not that noble people forget things, but that they have no impression of this person at all.

He even has no memory of when they added each other as friends.

Zhou Can did not reply to the message.

Since the second day of the Chinese New Year, when "The Shawshank Redemption" announced its first day of box office performance, he has received many congratulatory messages.

At the beginning, he still replied, after all, it was something worth celebrating.

But later, Zhou Can found that he received more and more messages, and many of them were like the person who just sent the message, and he had no impression at all.

Among them, except for relatives and friends, most of them were directors.

They all wanted to invite Zhou Can to star in a movie while his fame had not yet become completely popular internationally.

If "The Shawshank Redemption" is really like "The Godfather", then inviting Zhou Can again will cost another price.

"Ding Dong" the phone rang again.

Zhou Can took a look and still had no intention of replying.

The other party was a director who wanted to invite Zhou Can to play the leading role in a movie and said that the price was negotiable.

Zhou Can rejected all the directors, whether they were small or well-known.

On the one hand, he knew that he still needed to learn and was still a little far from being an old actor like Ma Guoliang.

On the other hand, there were no high-quality scripts.

Zhou Can turned his phone to silent mode, took out a notebook from the drawer, and read it carefully. On it were some acting skills he had summarized.

Beijing.

General Administration of Culture, Ye Wen's office.

Ye Wen took a sip of water, put down the cup and continued to process documents.

Some Southeast Asian countries want to purchase the broadcasting rights of some domestic TV series. Now the three parties have held two meetings and will hold a third meeting in a week.

The three parties are the General Administration of Culture, the producer of the TV series, and the other party is naturally the representative sent by the Southeast Asian countries.

Ye Wen certainly hopes to sell the copyright of the TV series at the highest price possible.

She still needs to think about how to talk to the other party.

After a while, the knock on the door interrupted Ye Wen's thoughts.

"Come in."

The secretary opened the door and came in: "Director Ye, there are still ten minutes left, the meeting is about to start."

Ye Wen nodded and said: "I know, I have made a PPT here, you go and prepare it first, I will be there soon."

"Yes." The secretary closed the door and went out.

Ye Wen first put the documents away, picked up a black notebook and went to the meeting room.

Today is the first meeting after the Chinese New Year, and all people in Beijing will attend.

At this time, the largest meeting room of the General Administration of Culture was full of people, chatting.

"I feel like I gained a few pounds after the Chinese New Year."

"You eat too well."

"Ah, during the Chinese New Year in my hometown, my mouth has never been idle since I got home, and I've been eating all kinds of things."

"It's so nice to celebrate the Chinese New Year in my hometown. I didn't go home, and my parents came here to celebrate the Chinese New Year. I haven't celebrated the Chinese New Year in my hometown for a few years. I miss it a lot when you say that."

"I tell you, I still have to go back to my hometown for the Chinese New Year. Although it's the same to bring my parents over, after all, they are in another place, so it feels a lot less."

"I'll go back to my hometown for the Chinese New Year this year."

"Director Ye is here."

The noisy conference room suddenly became much quieter with the arrival of Ye Wen.

The secretary reported: "Director Ye, we are ready."

"Are all the people here?"

"All of them are here."

"Okay." Ye Wen nodded, sat in the middle seat, and knocked on the microphone.

For a while, there was no more talking in the conference room.

Ye Wen said: "Everyone is here, let's start our meeting."

In the following period of time, Ye Wen introduced the work plan for the next year and some development prospects.

Since the establishment of the International Cultural Center, the pace of film going global has accelerated.

Ye Wen emphasized the planning of the film industry.

Speaking of the film, Ye Wen said: "I believe everyone has known the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" recently. Let me tell you that the cumulative box office performance of this movie in seven days is 2.491 billion US dollars."

Although the movie is very popular, there must be some people who don't pay much attention to these aspects, even if they work in the General Administration of Culture.

"Many people should have a general idea of ​​the box office. Let's put it this way. The Godfather, which was a global hit last year, did not get as much box office as The Shawshank Redemption in a week." At this point, Ye Wen was very pleased. Tan Yue once again let her know what unlimited potential is.

"So, the group that pays attention to the movie, you should pay more attention to the reputation of this movie in the international market, and report to me in time if there is any abnormal situation." Ye Wen said: "Our domestic films are taking this step towards the world. It is too difficult. As long as there is an excellent movie like The Shawshank Redemption, we must strongly support it."

Everyone in the conference room listened carefully, and some people recorded something from time to time.

Ye Wen continued to talk about work arrangements.

Hangzhou.

Chen Xiang drove back home, and the corners of his mouth were raised harder than AK.

He just met a girl before the Chinese New Year. The two chatted very speculatively and wished they could chat until midnight every day.

Both parties shared the little things in their lives with each other, and Chen Xiang seemed to fall in love.

Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year to rest at home, Chen Xiang asked girls out every day.

After unremitting efforts, he finally succeeded. Today, the girl agreed to his pursuit.

The two of them confirmed their relationship.

Chen Xiang parked his car in the garage in a chic manner, returned to his room and sent a message to the girl: "I'm home."

The girl quickly replied with a playful "received" emoticon.

Chen Xiang smiled foolishly at the screen of his mobile phone, and then asked: "How do you feel about the movie today?"

The two went to see "The Shawshank Redemption".

"It's very good. In fact, I haven't told you that I like Teacher Tan Yue's movies very much. When I knew that you bought the movie ticket for "The Shawshank Redemption", I was still happy for a long time."

Chen Xiang's eyes suddenly brightened up, and he excitedly tapped the screen of his mobile phone "My brother-in-law is Tan", and before he finished typing, he quickly deleted this paragraph.

He thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate.

After all, the two people have just confirmed their relationship. At present, they only know each other's basic situation, and have not yet understood each other more deeply.

Family matters will be revealed after the relationship is stabilized in the future.

Although the relationship between his own sister and Tan Yue is already known to everyone.

Chen Xiang re-edited a paragraph of text and sent it over: "I was worried that you didn't like this type of movie!"

"How could that be? I always liked Tan Yue when he was doing variety shows before. Later, he switched to filming TV series and movies, and I have been following him all the time."

"I didn't expect you to be a true fan."

"You haven't been a star chaser, so you may not know that Teacher Tan Yue is different from others."

Chen Xiang laughed and thought, how could I not understand him? He is my brother-in-law.

The girl continued to send messages: "I thought Ma Guoliang would be the lead actor in "The Shawshank Redemption", but I didn't expect it to be Zhou Can."

"Don't you like Zhou Can?"

"Comparatively speaking, Zhou Can is of course not bad, but I still hope Ma Guoliang can play the leading role."

"Then you are also a fan of Ma Guoliang."

"His acting is very good, and watching his movies is very immersive."

Chen Xiang suddenly had an idea and typed: "Do you want autographed photos of Tan Yue, Ma Guoliang and others?"

"Ah? Of course I want it, don't you have it?"

Chen Xiang opened the album, and there were a few photos taken by the two of them when Tan Yue came last year.

He really wanted to send it, but in the end, reason overcame emotion.

"I don't have it now, but I can get it for you."

"Who are you asking for it from?"

"Of course I'll ask them."

The girl directly sent a "shocked" emoticon package.

"I'm just kidding you. I have a sister who used to chase stars every day. I think I saw her autographed photo. I'll give it to you."

"That's not good."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

"Forget it. The autographed photo is still very precious. It would be bad if your sister found it."

"She's not at home. She's working outside. She basically won't come back for a year. She won't find out." Chen Xiang smiled and sent this message.

While chatting with the girl, he sent a message to Chen Ziyu: "Sister, are you there?"

Chen Xiang held the phone and chatted with the girl for a long time.

Half an hour later, Chen Ziyu still didn't reply to the message.

Chen Xiang was a little anxious and called her quickly.

Brilliant Entertainment Company, President's Office.

‘A-choo’

Chen Ziyu sneezed again, thinking that she would not catch a cold.

She had sneezed several times in a row.

At this time, the phone rang. She picked up the phone and saw that it was her brother calling, so she answered the call.

“Sister, what are you busy with? Why don’t you reply to my message?”

“When did you send me a message?”

“Half an hour ago.”

“I was busy with work, I didn’t see it.” Chen Ziyu said, “If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly, I have to go to work.”

“Sister, can you help me get an autographed photo for my brother-in-law, and also Ma Guoliang’s.”

Chen Ziyu frowned and asked, “What do you want an autographed photo for?”

“I have a friend who wants one.”

“Friend? What friend?”

“Just an ordinary friend.”

When Chen Xiang said this, Chen Ziyu immediately sensed an unusual atmosphere, “Forget about ordinary friends.”

When he spoke, he deliberately emphasized the word ‘ordinary’.

Chen Xiang had to explain that he had just started dating a girlfriend.

"Okay, you! You even hid your girlfriend from me!"

Chen Xiang said shyly: "We just confirmed the relationship, and I thought I would tell you when things become stable."

"What's the girl's name? Where is she from? What job?"

"Stop! Sister, it's the FBI! The investigation is so thorough!"

"I finally got a girlfriend, I have to see what kind of girl can catch my young master's eye." Chen Ziyu looked like a bystander.

On the other hand, Chen Xiang regretted it now.

Regretted asking the girl for an autographed photo without authorization, and regretted asking his sister for this autographed photo.

Chen Xiang, wearing a painful mask, tried to change the subject: "Sister, I'll talk to you in detail another day. Can you give me a few autographed photos? Please!"

Chen Ziyu deliberately said: "If you don't tell me, it will be difficult to get autographed photos!"

Chen Xiang had to briefly talk about the girl's basic situation.

Chen Ziyu said happily: "Give me the autographed photos, and I'll mail them to your home later."

Chen Xiang said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, sister."

When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

He swore silently in his heart that he would never do such things without authorization again.

"Are Dad and Mom home?" After all, he didn't go home for the New Year, and Chen Ziyu still missed home very much.

"They went to work on company matters." Chen Xiang also returned to his serious look: "They stayed at home for two days during the New Year, and went to the company on the third day of the New Year."

Chen Ziyu said "hmm" and didn't say anything.

Parents were like this in previous years.

The brother and sister chatted on the phone for a while before hanging up.

Chen Ziyu sat in front of the computer and continued to work.
