My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1336 Pre-sale Box Office Three

"Pan Ertao, your movie is in trouble."

The living room on the first floor was filled with many people.

Zhu Zhendong first greeted his master and mistress, put down the gifts he had brought, and then jokingly teased his junior brother, saying, "That movie 'Crazy Stone' had over 100 million yuan in pre-sale box office in just a few hours, while your 'The Contest' started pre-sales two days earlier and barely broke 30 million. Don't work hard for a year only to make a fool of yourself."

"You'd better say less!"

Pan Dehua wasn't angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "You're comparing me to Zhang You for no reason. Do you think I can compare to him?"

Although he was still somewhat unconvinced deep down, the fans' reaction made it impossible for him to disagree. The promotional expenses for "The Showdown" were about the same as those for "Crazy Stone," but the two films were indeed incomparable in terms of popularity.

The movie "Crazy Stone" attracted a large number of movie fans as soon as it started its promotion.

Its popularity even overshadowed speculation that artists would perform on the Spring Festival Gala.

Every year on Lunar New Year's Eve, the brothers would first come to their master's house to pay their respects. After the New Year, everyone would have their own things to do and relationships to maintain, so it would be difficult for them to get together. Therefore, they chose to come early.

Director Han Dong was all smiles when he saw his apprentices arrive.

The crew of "The Vanished She" has already taken a break and will resume work on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. The film is already about halfway through shooting and should be completed in two months at most.

As for whether to choose the summer season or some other time slot, that's not something Director Han Dong needs to worry about; it's something that Zhang You, Feitian Entertainment, and Tianyu Entertainment need to discuss.

Han Dong's stance on this matter has always been clear: he is just a director, and all he needs to do is ensure the quality of his filming. As for the rest... he may say more, but he doesn't want to.

"However, the promotional video for Ertao was indeed well-edited."

Han Dong's second apprentice, Yan Mingchen, smiled and praised, "The soundtrack is especially impressive. I heard that Er Tao spent a lot of money to have Zhang You compose the music. Don't let it turn into a terrible film like 'Ta Ya'..."

The rest of the words are not finished yet.

Yan Mingchen noticed a pair of sharp eyes staring at him. He immediately turned his head, chuckled dryly, and said, "Second Senior Brother was just joking with you. My Junior Sister's movies are naturally top-notch."

“It’s good to know”

Han Wei was satisfied this time.

She had already finished her postpartum confinement. At this moment, she was sitting on the sofa holding her son, listening to her senior brothers chatting. Pan Dehua walked up to his junior sister and reached out to pick up Han Sandou.

then.

He chuckled and teased, "Want to enter the entertainment industry?! If so, just say the word, and I'll immediately cast you as the male lead in my movie, and find the most beautiful actress to act alongside you."

"My son is certainly not short of acting opportunities."

Han Wei replied irritably.

Her son is very bold and not shy at all; he'll let anyone hold him. But who knows what will happen in a while? Anyway, Han Wei has never seen a child more beautiful than her son.

As Han Wei held her son in her arms that evening, her heart almost melted with warmth. After speaking, Han Wei looked at her junior brother and said, "Pan Ertao, hurry up and give them their New Year's money. I've been giving your son and daughter so many years, and now we can finally get our money back. Don't play dumb."

"This time, I'm on my junior sister's side, Pan Ertao. If you go below one million, you'll be like Sandou at dinner, sitting on the side drinking some milk powder."

Lin Zhendong smiled.

Han Dong saw his apprentices playing around but didn't stop them. In previous years, the house was only lively on this day, but that was in the past. This year, it will be lively not only today but also in the future. With children in the house, it's hard to keep it quiet even if you want to.

But it's still better to have a lively atmosphere.

"Give it to me!"

Stared at by his senior brother, Pan Dehua took out a prepared red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into San Dou's hand. Of his fellow disciples, besides himself and his junior sister Han Wei, his third senior brother was still in the film and television industry. The other two senior brothers had made money in the film industry in their early years and then started investing.

The eldest brother, Lin Zhendong, is very good at investing.

For more than a decade, he used his own money, plus a loan of 50 million yuan from his mentor Han Dong, to purchase two office buildings in the core area of ​​Dongguang Road CBD at a price of more than 9,000 yuan per square meter. Now the market value of these two properties has soared to hundreds of millions.

Many celebrities have lived in his place, and the rent alone is a considerable income. He also founded his own condiment brand, which brings him more than 30 million yuan in revenue each year.

He got involved in live-streaming e-commerce when it was just emerging.

Two of the more famous streamers are now from his company. Anyway, among all his fellow apprentices, the eldest brother has the highest assets. When the "Competition" project was finalized, he wanted to ask the eldest brother to invest, but his master refused. Then his master went to talk to Chairman Tian.

Pan Dehua understood his master's thoughts.

It's best to find outsiders for investment matters. If you find someone you know, it's fine if you make money, but if you lose money, it can easily affect the relationship between the brothers. Seeing that Pan Ertao really took out his New Year's money, Han Wei didn't stand on ceremony and directly took it from his son and put it in his pocket.

One million was just a joke.

Around noon, director Han Dong opened his wine cellar and took out several bottles of wine. During lunch, his apprentice Pan Dehua was in charge of pouring the wine.

"Master, I'd like to collaborate with Zhang You. Do you think it's possible?"

Lin Zhendong raised his glass to toast his master while asking a question.

"How do you want to cooperate!?"

Han Dong asked.

"I just wanted to invite him to host a show with one of the streamers from my company."

Lin Zhendong thought for a moment and said, "I know that at his level, it's a bit beneath him to be present on a live-streaming e-commerce platform, but that's all I need him to do is cooperate a little. He doesn't need to worry about the rest, like product introductions."

Lin Zhendong came to test his master's intentions, hoping that his master would step forward and ask for his help. Even though he was a business tycoon, his master was also a capital tycoon.

If no one helps to connect us.

People won't even consider it, let alone pay him any attention.

He did this for a reason: he wanted to use this collaboration to promote the company's anchors to the top. But selling goods is selling goods... Generally, unless there are financial problems, no big investor would be willing to do something like this.

To put it bluntly, once viewers see certain once-wealthy families getting involved in live-streaming e-commerce, it's a sure sign that they're facing financial difficulties.

In this situation, without someone intervening on your behalf, there's absolutely no chance.

Especially since they are currently at their peak.

Whether it's influence, appeal, or even the ability to make money, it's ridiculously strong. Seeing his master hesitate, Lin Zhendong said, "As long as he agrees to do one, I'll give him 50 million, for one hour."
