Chapter 280 Suning is the "Treasure Box"

When Suning brought Britney back to Beijing, he thought the house must be very dirty, but he was surprised to find that the house was very clean and tidy. Needless to say, it must have been done by Huang Lei and Sun Li.

After all, Jiang Yan never had the key to her own house, and Gao Dayuan also took the initiative to give up the key that Suning gave her, so after thinking about it, it can only be Huang Lei and his wife.

Fortunately, there are many rooms in the house, and Britney's personal female bodyguard also has her own room, so no embarrassing incidents occurred.

The next day, Suning first made breakfast, and then went directly to the school to report for leave. Sure enough, he saw banners hung up in the school, most of which were celebrating his performance in the music mecca of California, USA. Seeing the banners gradually changing color, Suning realized that they must have been hanging there for some time.

"Suning, have you returned to China?"

Suddenly, a surprised voice was heard. Su Ning turned around and saw that it was Bian Xiaoxiao, "Senior, I just got back!
Just in time to come back to school after vacation!"

"Ah? You're too low-key!

The media didn't report anything about your return to China!"

"Haha, I'm not some big shot, I don't need everyone to line the streets to welcome me!"

"Yeah! Suning, have you heard about Yao Di's situation?"

"Yao Di? What happened to her?"

"Yao Di was a student in a vocational college and has now graduated and left school."

"Oh! That's it! I thought something happened to Yao Di!"

"Haha, it seems you care about Yao Di a lot!
I heard that you opened a media company outside, do you have any plans to sign her?"

"Huh? I'm just a shell company, I don't even have the ability to sign artists!

But when I have the ability in the future, I can consider it."

"Haha, Suning, stop being so modest here!

Now everyone in the Beijing Film Academy knows that your Su Media Company is very powerful.

John Woo alone surpasses many domestic media companies." Bian Xiaoxiao didn't take Suning's modesty seriously, instead looking at him with shining eyes.

Bian Xiaoxiao's proactive show of goodwill today made Suning feel inexplicably confused, but Suning was too lazy to care about what she was planning. She was a serious scheming woman, so he didn't want to get entangled with her with his small body.

"Senior, you go ahead and do your thing! I still have to go and report for leave!"

"Well! Go get busy!
Let’s get together sometime!”

"Haha, okay!" Suning responded with a forced smile.

During the holiday, he had several "business promotion" sessions with teachers and classmates at school, which made Suning almost feel embarrassed. Afterwards, Suning did not go to class directly, but came to his own Su Media Culture Company.

To be honest, I feel a little embarrassed about being a "hands-off boss". Seeing Professor Zhou licking a few more white hairs, Suning felt very ashamed.

Although he is Professor Zhou's favorite student, Suning feels that he is really cruel to have to protect his career at the age of 60.

"Teacher, why are you still busy here?
These trivial matters should be handed over to lower-level staff.”

"Haha, Suning, you are finally back!
Although these young people are enthusiastic about their work, I am still a little worried.”

"Teacher, you are making me feel so embarrassed!"

"Haha, you little bastard!
After traveling abroad, he started to show off his writing skills to me!

Don't worry! You don't need to worry about me."

"Suning, I heard that you brought back a foreign girlfriend from abroad?"

"Yeah! I brought the American singing queen Britney Spears back with me this time!
I'll take her to meet you sometime!"

"Oh? You like this Britney very much?" Professor Zhou was a little surprised after hearing Suning's explanation.

"Haha, who can tell about matters of the heart?

Let's take it one step at a time!" Suning couldn't predict what would happen in the future.

"Well! As long as you have an idea in mind!

Now that you are back, let’s have a brief meeting now!”

"Yeah! Okay!
I'd also like to know about the company's latest developments."

"Haha, don't worry!

The company is developing very well!
Everyone is holding back their energy to unleash their ultimate moves!"

"Oh? Then I'd like to see it today!"

In fact, because of the last domestic public opinion storm, Suning had to choose to keep a low profile temporarily. Apart from filming "Drawing Sword" as usual and acquiring a large number of adaptation rights for scripts and novels, it does not have many other businesses.

After hearing the chairman's call, everyone came to the conference room and saw the "hands-off boss" Suning, and they all felt a little happy unconsciously.

After all, Suning is the real "leader" of their company, and his operations during this period are worthy of his status as a leader. You know, "becoming famous overseas" is not something that anyone can achieve.

"Boss Su, you're back!"

"Yeah! I just came back yesterday!" Suning greeted everyone with a smile, and was a little surprised to see that John Woo was there too.

"Director Wu, you're back too?"

"Yes! Mr. Su!
I want to make a new film and then go back to China to see the world.”

"Oh? Does Director Wu have any suitable projects?"

"Not yet! I was just about to come back and apply to President Su first!"

"Haha, Director Wu, there's no need to be so polite!

After all, you are also one of the company's major shareholders.

As long as the project is suitable, the company will theoretically agree to it.”

"Thank you, Mr. Su, for your support! But the rules must still be followed!"

"Director Wu, since you don't have a suitable project now, I do have a suitable script." Seeing that John Woo was so understanding, Suning decided to give him a little "sweet treat".

"Oh? Okay!
The script that President Su values must not be too bad! "

"Haha, Wang Rui, go to my office and get my black briefcase!" Suning looked directly at his new secretary Wang Rui and gave the order.

"Yes! Mr. Su!"

After seeing Wang Rui leave, Su Ning looked at Kong Sheng and Chen Jian, who looked relaxed. "Director Kong, Director Chen, judging from your expressions, do you have any good news?"

"Haha, President Su, you are still so wise!

Our drama "Bright Sword" has been selected by CCTV-1 and will definitely be the best drama of the year!" Kong Sheng could hardly hide his joy.

"Haha, this is good news!"

“Haha, that’s more than that!

CCTV-1 has also scheduled 'Drawing Sword' to be broadcast on July 1st this year." "July 1st? A tribute film?" Su Ning finally understood why Kong Sheng and Chen Jian were so happy. The fact that 'Drawing Sword' was chosen as a tribute film was a recognition of the director.

"Boss Su, you have no idea how crazy Director Chen can be!
In order to present the cruelty and reality of the Anti-Japanese War, he required all crew members to eat millet and steamed buns!

When it came to the Korean War scene, he even asked the crew to eat cold potatoes!

"Ah? Director Chen's actions will not arouse public outrage among the crew members!" Suning was also shocked by Chen Jian's "magic operation".

"Haha, what's there to be afraid of, causing public outrage!
Most of the funds were saved and used to buy real guns and hire real soldiers." Chen Jian is very proud of his actions, because "Bright Sword" is truly a classic war film.

"Real guns and live ammunition?" Suning almost went crazy when he heard the word "real guns and live ammunition". Interpol was so shitty that it almost left him with a psychological trauma.

"Yes! President Su!
Director Chen’s point is beyond doubt!
It has been very helpful in improving the quality of "Drawing Sword"! " Kong Sheng was also very impressed by what Chen Jian was proud of.

"During the Anti-Japanese War period when filming 'Bright Sword', Director Chen Jian, against all odds, chose to use ordinary people with no experience, just to show the "rustic" nature of the Eighth Route Army at the beginning!
When it came to the period of Resisting U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, he insisted on replacing all of them with real soldiers in order to present the growth process of our army!
And also according to your request, General Su, we have increased the role of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.

However, I am still a little worried that I will be temporarily banned because the plot is too real."

"Well! Don't worry about being banned!

Hasn’t this been noticed by CCTV?

Even if it is temporarily banned, there will be a chance for it to be released again in the future!

Our mission at Su Media is to not be afraid of spending money or being banned, but to ensure our works are passed down through the ages!" Hearing Kong Sheng's concerns, Suning reiterated the original intention of establishing the company.

Suning's explanation was like the deafening sound of nature, striking hard at the hearts of everyone present. Aren't these the ultimate dreams of these entertainers?

“Haha, actually I didn’t start this company for the money!

I just want to leave something behind for society after I die!"

At this time, Suning's secretary Wang Rui came over with a briefcase. Suning pretended to take the briefcase, then reached into the black briefcase and took out a script that had been prepared in advance from the storage space.

Everyone in the conference room calmed down their excitement and looked at Suning with anticipation and admiration. Even Professor Zhou was aroused by Suning's curiosity and emotions. Then Suning handed the script to John Woo, who was also curious.

"The Piano Tuner?" John Woo looked at the title of the script in surprise.

"Well! Director Wu, why don't you take a look first, and then we can all evaluate it together."

John Woo opened the script blankly and began to read it. Kong Sheng and Chen Jian also came behind John Woo and began to read it. As time passed, the expressions of John Woo and the other two became more and more excited.

Suning's "The Tuner" is more like the French short film, but the male protagonist Connor is adapted into a Chinese citizen of French descent. Suning also thought about playing the leading male role himself, but after thinking about it, he felt that his classmate Zhu Yawen was more suitable.

"Boss Su, this script is amazing!
As long as it's filmed, it will definitely win tons of awards!"

"Haha, that's right!

I went to see "The Piano Tuner" just for the Cannes International Film Festival!
Director Kong, Director Chen, now that the filming of "Drawing Sword" has been completed, you will work with Director Wu and our company's screenwriting department to polish the script of "The Piano Tuner".

We must make Su Media an instant hit!"

"Okay! No problem!" Chen Jian agreed with a smile, but Su Ning noticed that Kong Sheng looked a little hesitant.

"Director Kong, do you have any new ideas?"

"Yes! Mr. Su!
I've taken a fancy to your book "Insidious."

“‘Lush’?
Director Kong, you have a very sharp eye!
In my opinion, "The Lurker" is as good as "Bright Sword"!

“Haha, I just feel that the sense of conflict in Lurk is very strong!

Want to try it! ”

"I can give it to you! But I have a request!"

"what?"

"I want to be the male lead, Yu Zecheng!"

"Huh? No problem!

You're the boss, you have the final say!" Kong Sheng agreed without even thinking.

At this moment, John Woo looked up from the script of The Piano Tuner in surprise and looked at his boss, Su Ning. "Boss Su, you will also play the male lead in The Piano Tuner, right?"

"No! I decided to use Zhu Yawen! This is his photo!" Su Ning shook his head with a smile, then took out Zhu Yawen's artistic photo and handed it to John Woo in front of him.

"For this film 'The Tuner', I have asked Zhu Yawen to put a lot of effort into piano!

I can tell you responsibly that Zhu Yawen's piano skills are now as good as my singing skills."

"Alright! The script for 'The Tuner' was written by you, President Su. Your arrangement is indeed more suitable!"

Suning is the boss of Su Media. As long as his request is not too excessive, the employees of the company will agree to it. Besides, Suning’s request at this time is also very reasonable. Even if Suning insists on playing the male lead in "The Tuner", John Woo will agree without hesitation.

When Suning finished his work at the company, he had no interest in going back to school, but went straight back to his home in Beiyuan Garden. Sure enough, Britney was still sleeping in to adjust her schedule.

When Britney woke up, it was already late. Suning gave up the idea of taking Britney to visit Professor Zhou today, and instead called Huang Lei and his wife, as well as Zhu Yawen and Lu Fangsheng, to arrange a dinner together tonight.

Suning still cherishes his three good classmates, Zhu Yawen, Lu Fangsheng, and Luo Jin. Although everyone is busy with their own things during this period, they still get together occasionally.

Lu Fangsheng has also received many acting offers recently. After all, his acting in "Elevator" proved his strength, so he is developing very well.

Compared with Lu Fangsheng, Zhu Yawen is slightly worse. He only starred in "Sunshine and Rainy Season" in 03, but the response was indeed very minimal. Fortunately, Suning has always been thinking about him and arranged for him to learn piano a long time ago, just to arrange for him to star in "The Tuner".

Of course, Luo Jin may be the worst off among the four. Apart from playing a very small role last year, he has been studying and settling down in Beijing Film Academy. Of course, he is also one of those actors who achieves success late in life.

"Suning, will there be many guests today?"

"Yes! They are all my good friends in China!"

"Will our house be too small for entertaining friends?"

“Haha, you’re right!

It’s a bit small here!
But there are bigger houses in the neighborhood next door!"

"Oh? That's good!

I was worried about being rude!"

In the evening, Suning hired several chefs from Fengzeyuan at a high price, so there was no need for Suning to work alone. The venue was of course the rooftop of the fifth unit in the second phase. Suning arranged for decoration workers to build five "sky gardens" early on.

It was only 04, and the Chaoyang residents' awareness of reporting was not that strong. In addition, all five units belonged to him personally, so Suning only needed to report to the relevant departments in advance.

Britney was also very surprised to see such a beautiful "sky garden". Standing on the 25th floor and overlooking the beautiful scenery of the capital, she felt very comfortable.

"Suning, the night view of Beijing is so beautiful!"

"Haha, as long as you like it!"

Britney suddenly looked at Suning. As she got to know Suning better, she felt that he was becoming more and more mysterious, like an omnipotent "treasure box".
