Chapter 208: Shiguang Films Is Out of Money, and Boys Also Need a Sense of Security
Time Pictures.
Xu Chen reviewed and approved the cast list of "Blue Life and Death", stared at it twice, and asked Zhang Yang: "Lao Yang, is everything going well with the crew? When will the production start?"
"Old Xu, I am a million-dollar film director, and I have a TV drama crew. I am still worthy of being in the industry with my thin face!" Zhang Yangchunfeng said proudly.
There are tens of thousands of club leaders in the Mainland. I can count them on my fingers, and I can’t count them all with one hand. Zhang Yang is the youngest and the youngest, with a bright future. He has been assigned to rooms, promoted, and commended at commendation meetings. His tail is in the sky!
The boss Zhang was holding a ceramic tea cup, blowing away the tea foam, smashing his lips, and said: "Old Xu, what kind of tea are you talking about? You are so picky, Xiao Bingbing, take out the good tea your boss has hidden in the closet. Soak it in..."
Li Bingbing wandered away and slandered: "The great directors all have the same virtues, they are greasy."
Xu Chen raised his head and glanced at Zhang Yang, with a smile on his lips. There was something about both Zhang Yang and the list!
After selecting a few young actors and casting a net, they reaped a bumper harvest. Yang Mi, Shu Chang, and Shi Xiaolong appeared on the list, waiting for Xu Chen to become famous.
"Hey, Lao Xu, I really have good news for you. By the way, Xiao Bingbing, I also have good news for you." Zhang Yang bared his teeth, Xu Chen was too stingy! .
"Bingbing, pour a glass of Five Hundred Years Red Robe, director Zhang Da, the rising sun in our mainland directing circle, with less water and a rich enough color." Xu Chen said lazily.
As soon as he returned to Peiping, he felt sleepy and missed his concubine's soft legs.
"Bah, you are pouring urine while pouring tea!"
Zhang Yang complained and said seriously: "Old Xu, what good news is that the film has been registered for the Peking University Student Film Festival and the Golden Rooster Award. Based on the film's box office, with your status, Old Xu, the Best Newcomer Award must be yours."
The Mainland's only Chinese-speaking pop music king starred in his first movie. He was so cruel to other Mainland movie newcomers. Who else would he be like Xu Chen?
"Bing Bing also has one. Zhang Yuan's grandson has found Xi Film Studio as a scapegoat. The crew is short of an actress. He has fallen in love with you and asked me to find Lao Xu to get you~" Zhang Yang looked intoxicated as he sniffed the aroma of tea. .
Xu Chen has a lot of good stuff. This pot of tea was given to him by CCTV Yangtai as a [New Year's gift].
"Brother Zhang, it's true!" Li Bingbing insisted. Now her eyes widened and she asked in disbelief, "Brother Zhang, I can also act in movies."
"Bingbing, you have good looks and temperament. It's easy to act in a movie." Zhang Yang condemned Xu Chen's wasteful behavior of animals.
Li Bingbing was beautiful and had a good temperament, but she ended up pouring tea and water for Xu Chen to wash his smelly socks. In ancient times, the life assistant had to work with the maid in the room and had to take care of the maid's physiological needs.
"Brother Zhang, I'm not going anywhere. It's good for me to be a life assistant for Brother Chen." Li Bingbing suddenly woke up.
Zhang Yang couldn't tell whether she could act in a movie, and Xu Chen nodded. Li Bingbing suppressed the thought of "yes or no" and poured tea for Xu Chen with quick hands and feet.
Showing off his talent, he shook his head and smiled, and continued to talk about the next thing: "Old Xu, Zhang Yibai's TV series "Love to the End" will be launched in November. I thought about it, our "Blue Life and Death Love" has the same theme as him, so we can't lose. Give it to him, so the launch date is tentatively scheduled for June.”
Both "Jiang Ai" and "Blue Life and Death Love" are idol drama themes, and they compete to win the title of "The Originator of Mainland Idol Dramas".
Xu Chen picked up a ballpoint pen and drew a circle on the names on the list, saying sleepily: "June will be June. The young actors are Yang Mi, Shu Chang, Shi Xiaolong, Lao Zhang, TV series you Pay more attention, you know me, I share the blessings, I will bear the difficulties, I have only one request..."
"Kill Zhang Yibai." Xu Chen's work plan for the second half of the year, Zhang Yimo's movie "My Father and Mother" will be launched in October, and the rest will be gone, and the TV series "Blue Life and Death Love" will be released in June.
"Lao Xu, with your words, I won't have anything to worry about."
Zhang Yang didn't stay long, rubbed his palms, and chuckled: "That Lao Xu, Zhang Yuan's grandson, he asked me to ask Lao Xu for you to give him a favor, this matter of Bing Bing... Look..."
"It's up to Bingbing to decide what she wants. If she wants to act in a movie, how can I stop her?" Xu Chen cursed. He was not a bad person.
Moreover, Li Bingbing is going to act in a movie, the Northern God of War returns in [Four Beauties of Time], and Gao Yuanyuan is there, so the four leading actresses occupy two positions.
Zhou Xunde went to Rong Xinda, Huayi and Xiaowang, and Xu Chen has not unlocked the [Film and TV] map for the time being.
Before sending Zhang Yang away, Xu Chen asked Li Bingbingyun to give him tea, just two taels, not more. This thing is as expensive as gold. Xu Chen doesn't like drinking tea very much, so he keeps it for guests.
Unfortunately, I have yet to meet any guests worthy of tea.
Xu Chen escorted Zhang Yang to the door of the company, looked at Li Bingbing's tangled and nervous expression, put his hands in his mouth, and said in a sleepy way: "It doesn't matter whether Zhang Yuan acts in the movie or not. Bingbing, you have to think carefully about whether you want to work in the entertainment industry. This is such a big deal." In half a year, you followed me all over the entertainment industry in East Asia. This business is very hard and tiring. "
Xu Chen stared at Li Bingbing's blank eyes: "Being my life assistant doesn't earn as much as in the entertainment industry, but it's a no-brainer. It's no problem to live in Peking with the salary, so tell me if you think about it."
Xu Chen has no filter for [stars], that's all. Besides, as long as he is willing to spend resources now, there is no difference between Li Bingbing and Ma Bingbing, they can all reach the top position by hard work.
Jing Moumou’s kind doesn’t count. She debuted in domestic entertainment in the wild era. Now in the wild era of domestic entertainment, who were the heroes in the wild era? In the wild era, they were at most a few little ants.
[Time Pictures] has a Chinese-language king like Xu Chen at its helm, has access to CCTV and Peking TV, and has the resources of Baodao and Hong Kong entertainment circles. It cannot be considered a beacon of the industry, but it must be a prince that separates the domestic entertainment world.
honestly.
[Blue Love of Life and Death] If it weren't for Gao Yuanyuan, Xu Chen would not even bother to star in it. He would go to the Asian King to film a TV series, and his character would be gone.
Xu Chen is too lazy to act in the movie, and the pay is low, so what kind of bullshit actor is there? He can fool ordinary people, raise his gaze, and see in the eyes of Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang. Do you think they can compete with one actor?
Continuing to raise the gaze, are the Beijing Film Studio and the West Film Studio more capable than a big director?
If we continue to raise the price, Beijing Film Studio and Xinyang Film Studio are just a part of the entertainment industry. The entertainment industry is in the mainland industry chain, and the annual output value contributed by the entertainment industry is too lazy to care about. Sesame is bigger.
Xu Chen's goal is to be the world's pop king, a cultural label, a cultural symbol, so awesome. If he is given only 5 minutes to perform at the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games, his goal in this life will be achieved.
Don’t think it’s impossible. It can only be said that the domestic understanding of the influence of the [World King of Pop] is too low. Michael’s MV can allow the military of a sovereign country to participate in the performance.
This is called forcefulness!
The goal is so lofty, just act in a shitty movie, be a behind-the-scenes mastermind in the entertainment industry, and just make a little money.
…………
Xu Chen is not very interested in TV series and movies, or in other words, he is not very interested in making money, fame and fortune.
After being reborn, I fight with some copper-smelling businessmen every day, fighting over trivial matters and making small profits, which is simply boring.
In the final analysis, Xu Chen only believes in one principle deep down. He is just a singer, and other messy titles and honors are just for fun.
Back to the main line, the third album [Master Wang].
The most important thing for Xu Chen at the moment, and the thing that he is also going all out for, is the competition for supremacy in the music industry, the [Battle of the Kings]. This battle is related to his crown as the [Asia's King].
[Master Wang] has twelve songs, excluding Zhang Huimei’s recording of [Equal Relationship], there are still eleven songs left, and Xu Chen plans to complete the recording in 20 days.
except.
[Master Wang] album MV, [Wang Fei] Xu Chen and Wang Fei will appear, [Li Ge] Xu Chen and Gao Yuanyuan will appear, so we need to coordinate the time.
Gao Yuanyuan joined Teng Wentao's TV series "True Love is Like a Dream", and the princess spent most of her time in Hong Kong.
Xu Chen made deletions and deletions in front of [Master Wang]’s recording schedule.
At this time.
[Bang Bang] There were two knocks on the door, and Li Xue came in with a lot of documents, winking playfully at her sister Li Bingbing, and said neatly: "Brother Chen, there is no money in Time Pictures' books!!!"
"???" Xu Chen asked with a black face, "I just said I was not interested in making money, so my company has no money?" ?
Are you kidding me?
"Brother Chen, I'm really out of money. The company invested 8 million in [Blue Life and Death Love], 1 million in Zhang Yuan's movie [Go Home for the New Year], 3.5 million in Lou Ye's movie [Suzhou River], and 800,000 in Jia Zhangke's movie [Xiao Wu]. …”
Li Xue reported the company's financial situation and said: "Brother Chen, almost all the projects invested by the company have no income, and we have to produce [China in the Classics], and the employees' wages..."
"This is the company's financial expenditure report." Li Xue stared at Xu Chen carefully and muttered: "Brother Chen, the funds in the salary book can only cover 2 months of employee wages."
Xu Chen stared at a large circle of [Sixth Generation Director] movies. The biggest grievance in the history of Chinese films must be him. He sponsored more than half of Title Douluo. He sighed: "Okay Xiaoxue, I understand the situation. [ Qinchi Wine] How is the advertising situation? "
[Time Pictures] is operating normally. Xu Chen doesn't know how to fill in personal funds. The company has no money in its books. He can't even tell the balance of his bank card. The album dividend is tens of millions.
The main reason is that his expenses are very small. To put it bluntly, he is now taking care of his concubine and only eats soft food. The concubine also provides him with clothes. By the way, Comrade Xiao Gao has also made money...
Xu Chen operates on two fronts, working tirelessly to dig into the coffers of his concubines and Comrade Xiao Gao. After all, he doesn't want to fall in love, so he lowers his living standards and doesn't even give him 1 million. Does he deserve to say that he likes him?
Boys also need a sense of security, right? 【Tactical Retreat】
Back to business.
[Time Pictures] has a long profit cycle. Movies and TV series are not short-term products. The potential of the program [China in Classics] is exhausted, which means that [Time Pictures] only has capital exports and no capital imports.
In response to this situation, Xu Chen seamlessly transformed into an [advertising agency] without any burden!
[Qinchijiu] is [Time Pictures]’s investment brochure for companies across the country. This advertisement vertically dwarfs all domestic advertising companies.
Xu Chen believes that as long as [Qinchi Wine] is online and advertising flyers flood in, Time Pictures' financial crisis will be solved.
"Brother Chen, the [Qin Chi Wine] advertisement has been produced and is currently under review. It will be launched on CCTV at 8:00 pm on April 3." Li Xue reported the situation.
He asked in confusion: "Brother Chen, the funds for this advertising bill have been settled, will it affect us if it is broadcast?"
Xu Chen was trying to be mysterious. One of his bosses explained something to his employees. He said concisely and concisely: "The company is going to take over the advertising business. Xiaoxue, you go talk to the management department and do a training on speaking skills related to the advertising business. In addition, some people will be transferred to set up a customer service department." ”
"Copy that!" Li Xue put her knees together and was full of energy.
…………
The two sisters left Xu Chen's office.
Li Xue pulled her sister Li Bingbing's sleeve and sneaked to the stairwell, feeling very disappointed: "Sister, you are so confused. What are you thinking? You don't want to do such a good opportunity to make a movie, and continue to serve Brother Chen as a maid. Are you stupid? I don't care. You must go to make a movie!"
"At worst, I can be Brother Chen's life assistant." Li Xue puffed out her chest. Brother Chen was not difficult to serve. She could complete the task!
"You..." Li Bingbing subconsciously stared at her sister and shook her head: "You can't be a life assistant. Who told you about my filming?"
"Director Zhang said that. He asked me to persuade you." Li Xue said mysteriously: "Director Zhang said that with Brother Chen's character, if you want to go, he won't make it difficult for you."
"When the time comes, you will make a movie in the entertainment industry, and I will do logistics in Time Pictures."
Li Xue rubbed her hands and shouted excitedly: "The entire entertainment industry will be ours."
"You wish." Li Bingbing smiled at her sister.
The younger sister is now lively and playful, just like the Hong Kong urban female white-collar worker Huo Xiwen she met, she has ambitions and ideas, and the younger sister is smart and joins the Time Films.
Brother Chen leaves many things to her, Li Bingbing frowns and scratches her head with worries: "Let me think about this matter, hey, the entertainment industry is not that simple, Brother Chen is so powerful, there are always dangerous shoals and waves, how can I be as powerful as Brother Chen."
"Sister, you have said that Brother Chen is very powerful, with Brother Chen protecting us, what are you afraid of." Li Xue muttered.
"Bah, who do you think you are, why should Brother Chen protect you."
Li Bingbing was speechless about her sister's naivety, and complained: "I'm not Gao Yuanyuan, nor am I a princess, I..."
In the dark stairwell, the two sisters looked up at the same time, their bright eyes looked at each other, and then, they turned their heads away at the same time.
Li Bingbing clenched her toes and spat, "Don't worry about this matter. I have my own ideas. Just do your own thing."
"Oh." Li Xue stroked her hair and said intermittently: "Well, sister, I'm leaving."
When she reached the door, Li Xue paused, very entangled and nervous, and finally straightened her chest and said fearlessly: "Sister, if you want to make a movie, well, I can also be Gao Yuanyuan!"
"..." Li Bingbing rolled her eyes and spat unhappily: "Dead girl, you don't care about your face, it's your turn to sacrifice for me, and what do you think of Brother Chen, you want to be Gao Yuanyuan, he can really let you do it, hurry up and leave."
"I'm just talking." Li Xue muttered: "I'm not ugly."
In the dark corridor, the sister left, Li Bingbing leaned against the wall with her back, staring at the flickering stair lights, feeling embarrassed and shy, and gradually the mood subsided.
She thought about what her sister said, being a Gao Yuanyuan would also be possible...
Li Bingbing slapped her face with the back of her hand, which was terribly hot, and muttered: "Li Bingbing, Li Bingbing, what are you thinking about."
