Huayu: Everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be an actor?

Chapter 107 I'm Not Good at Comforting People (5/40)

The house in my hometown has been renovated, and it looks beautiful.

The three-story villa had the grandparents living on the second floor, while the best room on the third floor was specially reserved for Cheng Yuan.

"Where's your girlfriend?" Zhang Qize asked Cheng Yuan. "Why didn't you bring her back?"

The reason he agreed to repair the house, and even repaired it so well, was largely because of Cheng Yuan's comment that he had nowhere to stay when he brought his girlfriend back.

Cheng Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

"Hello, my grandson is back, is this your first words?"

Can I say that I don't have a girlfriend at all?

No!

"I'll bring it back for you next time," Cheng Yuan said with a smile. "He/She needs to go home for the New Year too."

"That's more like it."

Zhang Qize nodded, not doubting that Cheng Yuan would lie.

When Cheng Yuan returned to his hometown, he didn't go out to visit relatives and friends, but instead stayed in his room writing a script.

The scripts for "Ip Man" and "New World".

As he wrote, he felt he should hire more screenwriters. He would provide a framework, and the screenwriting department would fill in the content.

There's really no need to do everything yourself.

We spent New Year's Eve in the countryside, and it was quite lively.

My uncle and aunt also came back, but they went back to the county after dinner and didn't stay overnight.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, "Lost in Thailand" was released.

Cheng Yuan took a day off on New Year's Eve and started writing the script again on New Year's Day.

Continue in the second year of junior high.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Cheng Yuan prepared to return to the capital.

Despite their reluctance, Cheng Yuan's parents did not stop him, knowing that he was busy.

As always, Cheng Yuan brought back many local specialties when he returned to the capital.

First, he visited Tian Zhuangzhuang and Han Sanping, and then he went to drink with Jiang Wen.

Finally, I went to Liu Yifei's place.

She returned to the capital ahead of Cheng Yuan.

"Auntie trusts me that much?"

After lunch, Liu Xiaoli went out. No one knows what she did, but she left Cheng Yuan and Liu Yifei at home alone.

This is to create space for them to be alone.

"What do you mean by 'don't worry' or 'don't worry'?" Liu Yifei asked doubtfully. "Are you going to eat me or something?"

"That's not necessarily true."

Cheng Yuan smiled, his gaze fixed intently on Liu Yifei, as if he really wanted to "devour" her.

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes.

"Let's go see a movie, it'll be less crowded in the afternoon," Liu Yifei said. "I heard 'Lost in Thailand' is doing well at the box office."

"Um!"

Cheng Yuan nodded.

"Lost in Thailand" grossed over six million yuan on its opening day.

This box office performance is already quite good.

After all, moviegoers these days haven't really developed the habit of watching movies during the Spring Festival.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, box office revenue continued to rise, exceeding eight million.

The box office has reached 15 million in two days.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the daily box office was still over eight million, while yesterday it dropped slightly, but it was still close to eight million.

The cumulative box office revenue in four days exceeded 30 million.

It's obvious that this movie is a hit.

Of course, they also made a fortune.

You basically break even in two days, and the rest is profit.

Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and there are still quite a few people at the cinema.

This wasn't Cheng Yuan's first time watching a movie with Liu Yifei, so he was quite familiar with the place and entered the theater without being recognized by anyone.

"There were quite a lot of people watching the movie this afternoon."

Liu Yifei said to Cheng Yuan beside her with some surprise.

"It's the Spring Festival holiday," Cheng Yuan said. "From now on, the Spring Festival film season might become the best film season in China."

"Will this movie gross over 100 million?" Liu Yifei asked with a smile. "About half a small goal, I guess."

"Suspenseful."

Cheng Yuan shook his head.

Currently, daily box office revenue is in the millions, but once the Spring Festival holiday is over, the box office revenue will definitely drop precipitously.

I just wonder if those who pirated the products got a holiday during the Spring Festival.

If not, pirated copies will likely appear very soon, which will have an even greater impact on box office revenue.

However, judging from the current situation, it may even surpass the box office of "Crazy Stone".

The reviews for "Lost in Thailand" were pretty good, but not as good as "Crazy Stone".

At least it can achieve what Cheng Yuan previously advertised: that people can leave the theater happy after watching the movie.

The plot of "Lost in Thailand" is actually a bit far-fetched. How can someone be so unlucky as to have problems no matter what they sit on?

The protagonist seems to encounter every kind of bad luck imaginable.

However, many people empathized with the protagonist's experiences and felt a certain resonance with them.

Laughter filled the theater, and Liu Yifei was no exception.

Liu Yifei's threshold for laughter isn't as high as I imagined.

After watching the movie, Cheng Yuan and Liu Yifei went to the amusement park and played until dark. They ate dinner outside before Cheng Yuan took Liu Yifei home.

The next day, Cheng Yuan went to the company to continue working on the post-production of "Love".

The post-production of this film isn't difficult, and it should be able to make it to the Cannes Film Festival this year.

Not long after, Fan Shuangbing arrived.

"What a rare guest! What brings you to my little company?"

Cheng Yuan said with a smile that although the two had never had a late-night snack together, they were already quite familiar with each other.

After all, they are partners.

"You call this a small company? What about my studio?" Fan Shuangbing said. "A small workshop?"

"You don't come here unless you need something. So, what do you want?" Cheng Yuan said. "Which TV series do you dislike?"

"How could I possibly look down on a script written by Director Cheng?" Fan Shuangbing said. "I just came to Cheng Yuan for comfort because I was in a bad mood after returning empty-handed from Berlin."

"I'm not good at comforting people," Cheng Yuan said. "By the way, are you interested in signing the male lead of that drama to your studio?"

""

Who is the male lead?

Fan Shuangbing couldn't help but ask.

She had naturally read the script. Although it was an idol drama, she felt it could make someone famous.

It can promote not only the female lead, but also the male lead.

"The director hasn't been decided yet, so the male lead is naturally undecided," Cheng Yuan said. "However, I prefer Yan Kuang. He's good-looking and his acting is pretty good too."

"You want me to dig it up?" Fan Shuangbing said. "I'll give it a try. But I'll have to use your name."

Cheng Yuan favors Yan Kuang, so naturally if he manages to poach him, then he will definitely be the male lead.

Yan Kuang was obviously not called Yan Yikuang yet, and he wasn't very famous, but Fan Shuangbing still knew who he was.

"no problem."

Cheng Yuan nodded. He was a shareholder of Fan Shuangbing's studio, so he would definitely prioritize casting artists signed to her studio in the future.

Artists nowadays don't earn as much as they did back then, but they still make a good living.

"Don't you have any plans for this year?" Fan Shuangbing said. "You've already won the Best Actor award at the three major European film festivals, haven't you thought about winning the Best Actress award at the three major European film festivals as well?"

"You want to win an international Best Actress award?"

Cheng Yuan looked at Fan Shuangbing and finally understood why Fan Shuangbing had come.

Apple returned empty-handed, and it seems that there have been setbacks in its release.

Fan Shuangbing put in a lot of effort for this movie.

"Who wouldn't want to take it?" Fan Shuangbing said. "If I take it, you can earn it too."

If Fan Shuangbing had a highly influential international film queen title, her career would definitely be better than in the original timeline.

She won numerous Best Actress awards at international film festivals in her original timeline. For example, she won Best Actress at the Eurasia International Film Festival for "Apple" and Best Actress at the Tokyo International Film Festival for "Buddha Mountain".

However, their influence seems to pale in comparison to that of the three best actresses in Europe.
