Perfect Life

Early in the morning, half past five.

Feng Bicheng opened his eyes and struggled out of a strange dream.

In the dream, it seemed that there was a flood, and the entire Shuntian Mansion was flooded. I struggled to remove the mattress, then took off the head of the bed, sat on the wooden head of the bed, smashed the windows, and floated like that. After going out, I met my parents and mother on the way, and then rushed to the company. President Qi and President Li were both there. They were dismantling the desk. President Li just gave the desk to two employees and let them go first. He also shouted that if he was rowing westward, Jundu Mountain should be submerged, and then he rowed over by the head of the bed and invited him to come up. He seemed to hesitate for a while, and then he really came up, with Mr. Qi, and smiled at himself. For a moment, it seems that he also said "thank you". In the dream, the buoyancy of the head of the bed seems to be more than those of the company's desks?

Take two deep breaths and wake up completely.

Then, rubbing his eyes, scratching his eyebrows and nose, he rolled over and sat up. Since last fall, he stopped drinking and gave up his previous nightlife completely. Every day in addition to writing and reading, he just went to bed early, so in the morning Get up early even though he is currently idle.

Get up, wash your face, brush your teeth, put on your clothes, think about it, go to the kitchen and turn on the fire, skillfully wash the barley soaked last night twice, then pick up the water, boil it, and put it in the pot.

Check it out, it's not yet six o'clock.

I went to the living room to open my computer, checked my personal mailbox, and sure enough there was an email.

Open and look carefully.

Yesterday's box office statistics.

On the fourth day of its release, which was also the first Monday, the film scheduling rate of "Big Shot" was slightly lowered by major theater chains. It seemed to be preparing for the release of "Smoke in the Desert", but the film scheduling rate was 58.3%, with an average of 49 The % attendance rate still made the box office of "Big Name" as high as 23.08 million yesterday!

That is to say, after four days of release, the total box office exceeded 100 million!

It came two days sooner than "Red Sorghum"!

In four days, the cumulative box office has reached 111.78 million.

For the first time after waking up, Feng Bicheng finally showed a faint smile on his face.

There is no doubt that this is the best box office film of his life, and it has even far surpassed his famous film a few years ago. As for the movie he later hit the street, in front of such data, it is even more It has long been thrown out of sight.

After staring at it for a moment, he took a deep breath, put away his smile, and then closed the web page and turned it off.

Take out your phone and turn it on.

Once it's turned on, like yesterday, once it's connected to the carrier's signal, it starts beeping non-stop.

After waiting for about two or three minutes, it finally stopped ringing, and at this time, the mobile phone showed that his mobile phone had a total of 17 missed calls and 39 unread text messages from 8 o'clock last night to just now.

Click on the missed call and read from the beginning to the end.

No company, no parents, and quit.

Some of them are former friends who have barely had any contact for the past six months, and some are simply unfamiliar numbers that are not stored on the phone.

Just click on one, and the content is: Chengzi, don't ignore it, buddy! Holy crap, you broke 100 million buddies, come out and have a drink to celebrate!

This is a producer I knew when I was in the circle before.

What can I say, a very eye-catching person.

The so-called winking means that he judges whether you have potential or not, he is very accurate in his judgment, and he is well-rounded and does not easily offend people, but he is still very good at watching people who are already destined to get up.

quit.

Feng Bicheng was expressionless.

Another: "Hello, Director Feng, I'm the general manager of Pacific Film and Television Culture Company, my name is Xu Pei, first of all, congratulations to the box office of "The Big Shot" that passed 110 million in four days, I wanted to call to congratulate, but I asked a friend for it Your phone number, you are off. I hope you can reply when you have a little spare time. I want to share with you about your next movie. We are very sincere. Finally, please forgive my presumptuousness. Sincerely, Xu Pei! "

Exit, find another one at will, and click to open.

"Brother Cheng, I'm Liu Zi, your forever little follower! When can we have a meal with you? Several companies have asked me to help you contact you these days. Everyone is very interested in you. Talking to you about the next drama is very sincere! When I saw the text message, I called back, please, brother!"

quit.

Poker face.

Pressing the down key continuously, many text messages are just seeing the name or the first sentence, and have no interest in opening it at all, until a familiar number suddenly appears.

The fingers paused and subconsciously opened.

"Brother Feng, I'm Wen Yuanyuan, congratulations on your new movie sale!"

Sure enough it was her.

When "Half a Hero" was filmed and released, with a cost of 3 million yuan and a box office of more than 20 million yuan, Feng Bicheng was considered a small hit. Many companies took a fancy to his potential, poured money, and invited him. Director, Wen Yuanyuan just came out at that time, and the momentum was very good. She was a small vase. , I felt quite exciting at the time. I thought that if this drama became popular again, even if I wanted to get up, by that time, no matter how awesome you are, I guess you can win it. No contact.

At the time, I was also disheartened, and I felt a little guilty in my heart, but when I thought about the salary she received, which was much higher than her status at the time, I didn't feel so bad.

But looking back now, I really can't help people.

Xiaohuadan, who had a good momentum in the past, has gone downhill since "The Heroine of the World". In recent years, she should have almost never made any headlines, and almost never had a good film contract.

After thinking about it, hesitating and then hesitating again, he clicked the reply and typed a few words: Thank you! I have always owed you an apology for what happened back then. It was I who pitted you, sorry!

But the finger stopped on the send button for a long time, and finally the words that were typed out one by one were deleted.

If I have a chance another day, I hope I can make up for the guilt in my heart, but now, the actresses in the film and television circle, who can easily be misunderstood by saying this, have been in the circle for so many years. Still very understanding. What's more, her situation has not been good in the past few years.

Sigh, exit.

Congrats, congratulations, congratulations, breaking 100 million, breaking 100 million, breaking 100 million.

I'm particularly interested in you, the next film, let's talk about it, sincerity.

Feng Bicheng was expressionless.

It took about seven or eight minutes together, browsed the information that should be browsed, then exited and silently pressed the power button. Standing by the pond holding a chestnut

Take a look, go to the kitchen to look after the fire, turn the fire to the lowest level, then get up, get the key, change his shoes, and go out.

The weather at the end of April was mild and pleasant.

After six o'clock, the sun has just come out, the air is fresh, and the tender red sun shines on the body, which makes people feel an indescribable pleasant feeling. There are already many people rushing out around, but some elderly people. Move around and exercise at a leisurely pace.

Feng Bicheng lowered his head so much, thinking about things in his mind, jogging all the way for ten or twenty minutes, and then walked back silently, walking and jogging for a while, and when he returned home, it was about forty minutes.

No matter what my parents say, it’s still in my memory. I haven’t had the habit of exercising since I was a child. But since "The Big Shot" ended all the exterior scenes, finished the production, and returned to Shuntian Mansion, one day, he suddenly got up early and started jogging like this.

I remember that my mother said before that barley porridge is used to dispel dampness. For people who are puffy like myself, it is very effective to exercise moderately and drink barley porridge. So, I even learned how to cook barley porridge.

In the past, except for movies and eating, drinking, and having fun, I didn’t seem to care about anything, but now, I don’t need anyone to remind me every day, I always remember to soak a few barley before going to bed at night. After a month, it becomes a habit.

And, he felt so good.

I feel like I'm in good spirits every day, neatly.

When he got home, he looked at the pot, stopped the fire, covered the pot and continued to suffocate in the pot. Then he went to take a bath, changed his clothes, and then came over and poured out the barley porridge.

To be honest, the taste of pure barley porridge without anything else is not very good, but every morning, Feng Bicheng always swallows slowly and eats it very sweetly.

After eating the porridge and washing up, look at the time, a quarter past seven.

go out.

Today is Tuesday, sunny, with a slight southerly wind.

"Smoke in the Desert" is about to be released, and the road that I often take is slightly blocked.

Came to the company, parked the car in the basement, took the elevator directly from the basement to the ninth floor, and nodded to the security guard on duty on the ninth floor who had not changed shifts when he got out of the elevator, and also received a smile from the other party.

The company was empty.

Cleaning is specified by the company, but in some important places, the film and television department agreed that no one other than a few directors and producers within the company can enter.

Such as film library, such as editing room.

As one of the company's previous contract directors, Feng Bicheng has a small office of his own. After putting down a desk, he can barely fit a two-seater sofa and a small coffee table in the corner. Now Well, according to the previous verbal agreement between the two parties, after the editing of "The Big Shot" is officially released, everyone will return to the road and bridge back to the bridge, which can be regarded as a friendly termination of the contract. I continued to come here every day, rub it everywhere, and take care of the pot of Clivia I bought last winter.

He had already thought about it, if the company was going to evict people, or arranged for others to move in, all he needed to take away was this pot of Clivia.

After cleaning up in his own room, there is not much to clean up. He doesn't work here now, because he has no office to do, and no one arranges work for him. In addition, he comes here every day to clean up, so it is very clean just now. The boiling water has boiled, sit on the sofa for a few minutes, wait for the temperature of the water to drop a little, squeeze a little Longjing tea into the cup, pour the water, and then get up and go out.

Before taking back the keys that the company issued to him, he easily opened the door of the editing room.

The smell of cigarettes is very strong, very strong.

If someone who doesn't smoke suddenly comes in, they can choke hard all of a sudden.

Because only the director, producer and a few editors can come in, there is a duty schedule, and everyone takes turns to clean up, but the usual situation is that if Li Qian wants to come to cut a film recently, or watch the progress of a certain film , this place will be very clean and very particular, but if Li Qian doesn't have a lot of films that he pays close attention to recently, and there aren't many films going here, it's a bit unclean here. The last person responsible for cleaning is usually Han Shunzhang or Lu Lingxi. The two of them are the most picky about the environment, love cleanliness, and have low tolerance.

Feng Bicheng went in, turned on the light, turned on the ventilation fan, adjusted it to the highest level, and then cleaned the ashtrays one by one. Don't ask why there is this here. In fact, it is stipulated that smoking is not allowed here, but there is.

Clear, clean, mop, wipe.

The whole set was packed, and it felt much cleaner, but twenty minutes had passed.

It's nearly half past eight.

He put away the mop and the like, rinsed it, and put it back in the bathroom.

Go back at this time, the tea is slightly warm, drink it slowly.

In another ten minutes or so, the sounds of walking, talking, and greetings began to appear one after another outside. Now, um, in fact, since last year, no one will come to his office to say hello, Jin. Both Han and Lu Lingxi had no friendship in the first place. Han Shunzhang and his wife were always silent, and Sun Yuting was a firm Li Qian party. , Since the filming of "The Big Shot" ended, Bai Yujing seems to feel good about herself. From time to time, she will say hello and chat a few times. Zhao He is a good man, and his attitude towards himself has always been so tepid. It was from the very beginning that he regarded himself as Li Qian's direct descendant, and he had neither favored nor excluded himself, but after that incident, the screenwriting team had collectively ignored him.

After drinking a cup of tea, he refilled himself another cup.

After a while, when the tea was halfway through, someone knocked on the door. Feng Bicheng got up and opened the door. The young man from the Internal Affairs Department delivered a few newspapers from each office of the Film and Television Department on time.

This happens every day, and it will never fall.

Although, in fact, he is leaving now, from President Qi to President Li, and then to Jin Han and Han Shunzhang from the film and television department, they will never stop him, and he only needs to go to the legal department, and he will be able to meet everyone. Peacefully terminated.

However, in his office, no other people were arranged to come in. The newspapers belonging to his office were also delivered on time every day, and even the basic monthly salary was not interrupted, and the salary card was always entered on time.

It's just that no one has arranged a new job for him.

Of course, he is a contract director. As long as he is with the crew, even if it is an assistant director or an assistant to the director, he will be paid according to work, and that money is much higher than these guaranteed wages.

In fact, he knows that as long as he is willing to go out for a walk, he will have countless invitations and opportunities to hand over every single payment in front of him, which will be a huge sum of money.

But the salary didn't stop, so he continued to sit here.

But now, the promotion of "Big Shot" has been set from the beginning, and he was not allowed to participate. Huang Ge and Bai Yujing led the team respectively, and Han Shunzhang was in charge of the general manager. Therefore, if it is not about work, in fact, he goes to the office every day. After sitting, the only thing you need to do is drink tea and read the newspaper.

As leisurely as those retirees from state units. Continued, dreaming for a thousand years

Taking a sip of the tea.

Most of today's newspaper entertainment pages are emphasizing, highlighting and exaggerating the upcoming release of "Smoke in the Desert", as well as the inevitable conflict between Du Weiyun's martial arts giant and the box office dark horse "Big Shot".

It was released for four days and the box office was 110 million. No one or any media will underestimate the power of such a film. What's more, yesterday was a working day, and the film still won a single-day box office of more than 20 million. Its strength is really not to be underestimated.

Feng Bicheng turned, looked, and drank tea, and then heard Jin Han's loud voice outside.

Kind of weird.

The company's regular high-level meeting is Monday morning, and the film and television department's own regular meeting is Wednesday morning. When there are no regular meetings and no other arrangements, Jin Han seems to prefer to stay at home and hold back the script. He only occasionally runs to the company's video room to pull the film, and likes to drag someone to watch it with him.

When he first joined the company, he was quite envious, and he had never thought of wanting to replace it like Jin Han, it was really cool!

Every year, I shoot a play that Li Qian handed over, and Li Qian's book is there. Just follow his requirements, don't make your own decisions, and designate red! What Jin Han needs to guarantee as a director is that the picture is beautiful and meets Li Qian's requirements, and then it's OK! And such a job is very easy, even if Jin Han has made money for the company, then the company will give him a budget, let him tinker with the things he likes, and shoot those things that no one likes to watch, Basically, there are no box-office literary films.

In this way, because he came early and started with the company, the director of film and television has been sitting until now. From Li Qian to Qi Jie, they never mentioned that they wanted to beat him or even replace him.

But to this day, he is like a mirror in his heart. Jin Han, the film and television director, has actually begun to become a decoration. To put it bluntly, he is actually just an ordinary contracted director with a higher status.

Because you always don't like to be in charge, you will always be indifferent, you will always be indifferent, and things will gradually stop looking for you.

As a corresponding example, in the film and television department, everyone will go to Han Shunzhang whenever there is something important. Therefore, although the title is only a manager of the film and television department, Han Shunzhang is already the first in the film and television department except Li Qian. A person who is willing to take responsibility and work hard, unconsciously turns responsibility into a job.

A good bowl of porridge always boils down to a slow fire.

…………

A quarter past nine, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

Feng Bicheng was a little stunned that this call was an internal line and could be dialed from the outside, but to call in from the outside, he had to go through the main station, so it was a little troublesome. When he first joined the company, Feng Bicheng also complained that Minghu Culture was too stingy, so he installed a The office phone is reluctant to directly connect to the outside line, so from the beginning, Feng Bicheng was not willing to use it, and never said his office number to the outside world.

In fact, the phone was on the table, and it had not rang for half a year.

Although Feng Bicheng wipes it almost every day.

After being stunned, he put down the newspaper, got up and picked up the phone.

"Is it Director Feng?"

"Uh, it's me, you're..."

"I am here at the general manager's office. I will inform you now that at ten o'clock in the morning, there will be a small meeting in the No. 2 conference room on the ninth floor. You need to arrive on time. Do you have any questions?"

"Oh...oh, no problem, I'll be there on time!"

"Okay, thank you, please hang up!"

Click, the phone hangs up.

Feng Bicheng didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

There is a meeting in the company...you actually call yourself?

Is it to celebrate?

Ordinarily it's not right. Although I didn't participate, it is said that at the celebration banquet of "Red Sorghum", President Qi said that if the box office of "Big Shot" exceeds 300 million, a celebration banquet will be held, but now it is only 110 million?

So, it shouldn't be.

After thinking about it again, thinking of a possibility, suddenly my heart is hot!

Could it be that Mr. Li saw this box office and felt that he could still try to save it? So... uh, no, no!

If it is the bosses of those film and television companies outside, seeing the box office breaking 100 million in four days, it is estimated that they will be excited immediately. Even Zhou Yanghua, Hu Fei, Yuan Ke, the big names behind the scenes, facing such a box office, it is impossible. If you are not excited by that time, it is estimated that even if you look down on yourself in your heart, you will still greet him with a smile! Who does not welcome people who can make money? A director who can make money, who doesn't greet him with a smile?

However, he knew that Li Qian was definitely not such a person.

First of all, his vision is not so narrow, and his level is not so low.

The book he published, his producer, and Han Shunzhang, the director of the film and television department he trusted and relied on, personally took charge of supervising the production. The box office has just exceeded 100 million. He may be very happy, but he will definitely not be happy to himself. As much as I thought.

Don't say 100 million, even if it exceeds 300 million, he may not look at him directly!

Also, he doesn't seem to be the kind of person who values ​​money in particular.

Although he also likes the high box office, really, the feeling he gives to people and to himself is like that: he only does what he thinks is right, but he does not necessarily do things that can make money.

So, when the movie was filmed, edited, and released, it must have meant that the favor he owed to his father was paid off, and the promise he made to himself at the beginning was also fulfilled.

Therefore, whether the box office is high or low, it makes no difference to him.

Thinking of this, Feng Bicheng slowly calmed down again.

He didn't even bother to read the newspaper anymore~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He checked the time, it was still early before the meeting, and the meeting place was on the ninth floor, so he simply got up and sat at the desk, turned on the computer, and prepared to read the online news response and evaluation.

Turn on the computer and habitually log in to the company's official website first, but before he can click on the web page favorites, he sees his name from the default homepage iFlytek that has been opened at first glance.

It flashed by, then quickly searched and focused.

Click to open.

Suddenly, he understood why there was a sudden meeting today, and he would be called to the meeting again.

It should come, and it has finally come.

Continue to the 6,000-word chapter!

But I don't know if I should continue to ask for the monthly pass. Recently, everyone seems to be not very enthusiastic!

A few votes, cheer me up?
