Chapter 839: Visiting the Chen Family

On the first day of class at the Bright Entertainment Company, Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu completed the work accumulated during the Spring Festival.

In the next few days, the two of them were still immersed in busy work, but the work did not bring much pressure to them. They only felt tired on the first day.

Moreover, in the first few days, all departments have completed all the work accumulated during the Spring Festival, and everyone feels a lot more relaxed. After all, it is the Spring Festival, and the partners of Bright Entertainment Company are also on vacation, so there is still relatively little work.

A few days later, everyone returned to the capital and began to go back to work in the company. Only a few employees took annual leave, and the number of employees in the company gradually increased.

Tan Yue asked Chen Ye to count whether all the staff in the editing room were at work. Fortunately, all the staff in the editing room were here.

Mr. Tan's new movie "The Truman Show" has been filmed and sent to the editing room. Many staff in the editing room are well aware of the weight of this movie.

"The Truman Show" can be said to be the most important project of Bright Entertainment Company at present. Employees in other departments can still ask for leave, but the staff in the editing room have "The Truman Show" in mind. In the company's regulations, After the vacation, they all returned to the company.

Knowing that all the employees in the editing room had arrived, Tan Yue asked Chen Ye to arrange the conference room.

Now that everyone is here, the post-editing of "The Truman Show" can begin. This movie is very important to Tan Yue. After all, it is his first movie to be released simultaneously around the world.

He also hopes to complete the film one day and move it to the big screen to accept the test of the audience.

Chen Ye arranged the conference room in the president's office. When Tan Yue walked into the conference room, all the employees in the editing room were already there. They all greeted Tan Yue and saw that everyone was in good spirits. Tan Yue was also very happy.

Editing a movie is a relatively boring job. If you are not energetic and energetic, you may not be able to edit the movie well.

During the meeting, Tan Yue talked about some things to pay attention to when editing "The Truman Show". In the past, when editing movies, Tan Yue would also talk to everyone, or directly create a document and send it to the editing room staff. , let them know how to edit and what areas to pay attention to.

Only this time for "The Truman Show", Tan Yue asked Chen Ye to arrange a conference room for everyone to hold a meeting, because the importance of this movie is the greatest.

After telling everyone about some matters that should be paid attention to during the editing process, the meeting ended. In the end, Tan Yue retained the two team leaders in the editing room.

Tan Yue gave the two people some additional precautions. In fact, Tan Yue didn't need so many warnings.

The employees in the editing room of Bright Entertainment Company are all experienced old editors, especially the two team leaders. However, Tan Yue’s attitude also shows that he attaches great importance to "The Truman Show". The staff in the editing room started editing. Will also be more careful and serious.

In the next few days, Tan Yue dealt with the company's affairs, but there were not many things in the company anymore. He focused more on the post-editing of "The Truman Show" and went to the editing room every day. Make many trips and see your progress each day.

In addition to post-editing matters, Tan Yue also remembered that the wrapping party for the crew of "The Truman Show" has not yet been held.

At the end of last year, "The Truman Show" wrapped in Qiong Province, but as the end of the year was approaching, everyone wanted to go home early. Tan Yue asked people to do a survey of opinions. A few people were willing to stay and hold a wrapping banquet, but most people wanted to go home early. Going home to reunite with his family and celebrate the New Year together, under such circumstances, Tan Yue decided to postpone the closing banquet until after the new year.

However, there is no rush to wrap up the wedding banquet. Actors and employees are different. Although they all have labor contracts signed with Bright Entertainment Company, actors have more freedom in their work. For example, most of the actors in the crew of "The Truman Show" have not yet When we return to the company and everyone is not here yet, it is naturally difficult to hold a closing banquet.

…

…

On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu came home from get off work.

Tan Yue drove, and Chen Ziyu sat in the passenger seat. The weather was still very cold. Tan Yue wanted to lower the window to get some air, but Chen Ziyu firmly disagreed.

When he got home, as soon as Tan Yue took off his coat, his cell phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and looked at the caller ID. It was a call from Ye Wen.

Tan Yue pressed the answer button, put the phone to his ear, and answered the call.

Looking at Tan Yue's solemn expression, Chen Ziyu also guessed that they were not ordinary friends. According to Tan Yue's character, if they were ordinary acquaintances and friends, their tone would generally be more relaxed.

A few minutes later, Tan Yue hung up the phone. Chen Ziyu came over with a cup of water, handed the steaming tea cup to Tan Yue, and asked who called.

Tan Yue took the water glass, took a sip, moistened his throat, and told Chen Ziyu about the phone call just now.

The call was from Ye Wen. Ye Wen had already called him twice in the past few days. In the past, this had never happened before.

As the director of the General Administration of Culture, Ye Wen has a very heavy workload every day. On the other hand, her status is destined not to be too close to that of artists in the entertainment industry.

In previous years, Ye Wen also called Tan Yue, but the call frequency was very infrequent, usually only once a few months or even a year.

But from the Chinese New Year to now, in just ten days, Ye Wen has already called Tan Yue three or four times.

In the first few days of the class, Brilliant Entertainment was so busy, and the General Administration of Culture must be even busier than Brilliant Entertainment. However, under such circumstances, Ye Wen still frequently called Tan Yue, and the reason was the overseas box office of Chinese domestic films.

Tianjing Entertainment's "Around the World" has completely failed at the overseas box office. The failure of this movie sounded a wake-up call to Ye Wen, making her realize that she had too much hope for Chinese domestic films.

In fact, how many years has the Chinese entertainment industry been developed? Compared with the entertainment industry in Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea, it is too far behind.

Like the United States and many countries in Western Europe, they have been developing the entertainment industry for more than a hundred years, which is ten times that of China. How can such a big gap be caught up in a short time?

"Around the World has already failed, why did Director Ye call you?" Chen Ziyu asked with a frown.

Tan Yue said, "She still wants to ask my opinion on these issues, but I don't know much about the global film market, even less than those veteran film directors. But Director Ye asked me, so I told him some of the information I learned and some of the analysis I made. Let's chat and exchange experiences."

"Now "The Truman Show" has been filmed, and the post-editing will be completed soon. By then, "The Truman Show" will face the same situation as "World Travel". I also want to learn more from Director Ye."

The two walked towards the kitchen while talking.

While preparing the ingredients for dinner, Tan Yue said to Chen Ziyu, "Director Ye called this time and wanted to have dinner with me. The time is three days later, that is, on the evening of the 14th day of the first lunar month. It's always hard to explain it over the phone, so it's better to say it in person."

Chen Ziyu was a little surprised to hear that Ye Wen actually wanted to invite Tan Yue to dinner. After all, Ye Wen's status was there, and now she actually took the initiative to invite Tan Yue to dinner.

But she was also relieved. Fortunately, Ye Wen set the date on the 14th day of the first lunar month instead of the 15th day. The 15th day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival. Chen Ziyu and Tan Yue have already planned to spend the Lantern Festival together that night, and they can't interrupt it because of Ye Wen.

However, Ye Wen's family should also celebrate the Lantern Festival, so naturally they won't set the date on the 15th day of the first lunar month. It's rare to invite others to dinner on this day.

These past few nights, Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu have been eating together. Tan Yue is worried that he will go out to talk to Ye Wen on the 14th night of the first lunar month, and it will be a problem for Chen Ziyu to eat at home alone, and she can't cook.

Tan Yue wants Chen Ziyu to go with him. After all, as the boss of Brilliant Entertainment Company, Chen Ziyu is also qualified to have dinner with Ye Wen, and Chen Ziyu has a deep understanding of the entertainment industry and is also qualified to participate in the topic discussion.

But Chen Ziyu is not willing to go, firstly because Ye Wen invited Tan Yue to this dinner, not her, and she is worried that it will be very abrupt if she goes there rashly, which will make Ye Wen unhappy.

While cooking, Tan Yue was thinking about Ye Wen's talk with him. He didn't know whether Ye Wen had talked to the other four directors or only to him.

Tan Yue thought that he had made great contributions to the Chinese entertainment industry, but now he was a little confused about what kind of image he had in Ye Wen's mind.

As the director of the General Administration of Culture, Ye Wen was in charge of the life and death of the entertainment industry. If he could leave a good impression in Ye Wen's mind, it would not be bad.

However, Tan Yue was not worried about this. He had always been in contact with Ye Wen and knew that Ye Wen had a good impression of him. Moreover, he had co-produced "Wolf Warrior 2" with the army before, and the senior leaders above had a good impression of him.

Tan Yue knew all these things in his heart, but he didn't think about using this good impression to do anything. It was enough to have such a thing, which could make some people who had bad intentions towards him hesitate.

And in Tan Yue's view, there was no need to do anything deliberately. The most important thing was to do his job well.

Only when you are dazzling enough and show your importance, others will pay attention to you. If you are not valuable enough, no matter how much others like you, it will be useless.

In the next few days, Tan Yue did some repetitive work every day. While handling company affairs, he went to the editing room to watch the editors do post-editing for "The Truman Show". In the middle, he would go to the gym with Xu Nuo to play billiards for a while.

…

…

On the 14th day of the first lunar month, Brilliant Entertainment Company, President's Office.

When it was almost time to get off work, Tan Yue received a call from Ye Wen, who told her that there was a change in dinner tonight. It was not that the time of dinner tonight had changed, but the place of dinner had changed.

Ye Wen told Tan Yue before that she had booked a seat in an authentic old Beijing restaurant in Beijing. Tan Yue was a little curious about which Beijing restaurant it was. He had been in Beijing for so many years and had some impression of the more famous Beijing restaurants.

Unexpectedly, Ye Wen called Tan Yue tonight to tell him that the place of dinner had changed to Chen's.

Chen Ziyu came to ask about the dinner and was surprised to learn that Ye Wen invited Tan Yue to her home for dinner. Most people don't get this kind of treatment.

Since Ye Wen brought Tan Yue to her home for dinner, it means that she still has a good impression of Tan Yue in her heart, and even regards Tan Yue as her own. However, this also shows the importance of Tan Yue now from another perspective.

Even the director of the General Administration of Culture has to rely on Tan Yue so much.

Chen Ziyu returned to the office and came back soon with two bottles of wine and two cans of tea.

I used to think that Ye Wen and Tan Yue were eating in a restaurant. If they were eating in a restaurant, they wouldn't need to bring anything, but now they have changed to go to Ye Wen's house. You can't go empty-handed.

…

…

At 5:30 in the afternoon, before getting off work, Tan Yue left the company. This was the first time in many years that he had left work early, and it was half an hour early. He also left the company with him. Chen Ye.

Chen Ye was sitting in the passenger seat, holding two bottles of good wine and two cans of tea in his arms, with a look of dumbfounding on his face.

She just found out that Mr. Tan was going to be a guest at her home tonight. In fact, a few days ago, her mother told her that a distinguished guest would be coming to her home on the evening of the 14th, and asked her to go home early and have dinner together.

Chen Ye was not enthusiastic about this matter at first, and did not want to go home to eat with that distinguished guest, and her mother did not tell her who the distinguished guest was.

It wasn't until the day when he was about to get off work that Mr. Tan took her home with him. Chen Ye didn't know that the distinguished guest his mother was talking about was actually Mr. Tan.

Ye Wen had already sent the location to Tan Yue on WeChat before, and just followed the navigation. However, Tan Yue only turned on the navigation for a while and then turned it off. After all, there was a familiar person sitting in the passenger seat.

Under Chen Ye's command, Tan Yue finally came to a slightly old neighborhood.

Tan Yue was planning to buy a house in the capital before. At that time, he had learned about the houses in various communities in the capital. He vaguely remembered that this community was a famous family home decades ago. Although this community is in shabby condition now, it was in the capital back then. One of the famous upper-class communities, the people living there are not simple.

After parking the car, Tan Yue took the wine and Chen Ye took the tea, and they entered the elevator.

When they arrived on the eighth floor, Chen Ye took out the key from his pocket and opened the door. When they entered, they saw Ye Wen wearing an apron and cooking.

Chen Ye was stunned when he saw such a scene. He quickly put down the tea in his hand and walked over and asked, "Mom, why are you the one cooking? Where is my dad?"

Ye Wen didn't respond, but came over and asked Tan Yue to sit down with a smile.
