Chapter 148 Old Xiao’s new movie, Pin Xixi is about to set sail

In midsummer in June, birds are chirping and cicadas are chirping.

Chen Heyu enjoyed a rare period of leisure time. During the day, he stayed at home or sat in a cafe and coded. In the evening, he took Luo Wenwen home and cooked some home-cooked snacks for her.

Occasionally, I would meet up with Pei Yi and others to take a walk on the campus of the University of Science and Technology, or at a barbecue stall in the university town, reminiscing about the time when we first met each other in the freshman year.

Laogou, Ma Gan, and Li Xue were also busy with graduation matters, so they took the time to get together to appreciate each other's changes.

"Remember to come to the engagement party."

Chen Heyu did not forget to warn him after the party ended.

"Ha Yu, can I enter Kangaroo?"

After everyone left, Gou Wei stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

Ma Gan's family owned a restaurant and lived a prosperous life. After graduating from the college entrance examination, he bought an apartment in Lucheng and lived a carefree life.

Li Xue and Luo Wenwen are close friends and are preparing to join 32 Cafe.

He was the only one with mediocre qualifications. Although he had been a class president for several years during his four years in college, it was not a bonus when he was looking for a job.

When you are about to enter society, buying a house or a car is a huge pressure. Without a profitable job, it is difficult to achieve it in a short time.

I finally mustered up the courage to beg my good friend.

"What department do you want to join?"

Chen Heyu winked at Luo Wenwen and motioned for her to get in the car first, leaving enough room for the old dog to talk.

"Both operations and sales are fine."

Gou Wei saw his deep meaning and was a little touched. He did not dare to ask for positions such as manager or supervisor.

"Sales, this industry is very challenging, and your personality is suitable. If you do well, you will be promoted very quickly."

Chen Heyu patted Brother Dog on the shoulder and said meaningfully.

He was naturally willing to help his childhood playmates, including Ma Gan and Li Xue, within his ability.

"Thank you, please give me a good meal when you get your salary."

The old dog said with a smile, "Hehe", and he was relieved from his initial anxiety. He Yu was still his best friend and had not changed at all.

"Don't come here, go back and rest early, and report to the company tomorrow."

Chen Heyu waved goodbye to Brother Dog.

After getting in the car, Luo Wenwen asked curiously: "What does the old dog want from you?"

"Work issues."

Chen Heyu replied casually, without explaining much, and immediately took out his mobile phone and called Pei Yi, asking him to help make arrangements.

Lao Gou came to him. Although he didn't make other demands, he couldn't throw Brother Gou directly into the bottom sales team. What he conveyed to Pei Yi was: "If you have ability and talent, train him and put him as a candidate for regional manager."

among people.

If he cannot be helped up, Gou Wei will be transferred to an idle position."

He carefully considered the two situations so that he could take care of his good friend's mood without breaking the company's rules.

"When I grow up, I have to face more things."

Luo Wenwen held the steering wheel and said with emotion.

"It's getting late. The movie is about to start. Let's go to the cinema first."

Chen Heyu patted her thigh and said with a smile.

Da Peng's second movie "Sewing Machine Band" was released, and as the boss, he decided to bring Luo Wenwen along to support the show.

"Your palms are so hot."

Luo Wenwen started the car and said disgustedly.

"It means I have enough energy and blood and good health."

Chen Heyu glanced at her with a evil smile. Luo Wenwen was the one who knew best whether he was in good health or not.

"The Sewing Machine Band" came out three years ahead of schedule. It took in a box office of 460 million in its previous version, so it should be a breakthrough in this one.

With the good reputation left by "When a Man Falls in Love", Dapeng didn't shoot the disgusting "Pancake Man", plus the golden brand of Shanhai Film and Television, it can't be that he can't even get 500 million, right?

Ten minutes later, the two of them walked into the cinema with milk tea and popcorn, sat in the fifth row, and watched carefully.

The movie mainly talks about the musical dreams of a group of young people in a small town in Ji'an. It sounds very cliché, with new wine in old bottles, like an inspirational drama paying tribute to the band BEYOND.

However, Da Peng came up with a new trick, incorporating a lot of "funny memes" with Northeastern characteristics, and invited "bathing god" Qiao Shan, "amateur gourmet" Yu Qian, and "Deyun No. 1 Brother" Xiao Yueyue to add jokes to the movie.

Guliza, a beauty from the Western Region, is responsible for attracting the attention of otakus, and her two big white legs can also bring in tens of millions in box office.

Chen Heyu looked at it for a while and laughed and scolded Dapeng for knowing the market and men.

At the end of the movie, a familiar melody sounded, and the emotional audience was already in tears. Youth and dreams will be buried, but they will never dissipate.

“It’s not easy to achieve your ideals when you’re bored and see hesitation.”

"Even if I have confidence and fighting spirit, I suppress it."

"..."

Along with the singing, middle-aged men who were no longer young began to sing along in a low voice, and finally there was a collective chorus.

"Trash movie, boycott Dapeng, a movie made me cry twice and laugh countless times..."

"Congratulations to Director Da Peng for booking this year's Golden Broom Award in advance. The movie is beyond imagination. I advise everyone not to watch it and leave your tickets to me."

"If you dare to confront Dapeng with "Godzilla", I will give you five stars!"

“One word to describe it: rotten rotten rotten rotten rotten rotten rotten rotten rotten rotten rotten rotten rotten rotten…”

Doubanban has a mixed rating, starting with a score of 8.7, which is average.

With a total investment of 50 million, Chen Heyu was not worried about repayment. On the way back, he sent a WeChat message to Dapeng: "The filming was good, and it is improved compared to the previous one."

"Thank you boss! I'm flattered.jpg"

Dapeng quickly replied that as long as the boss is satisfied, it will be left to the market to test his level.

The next day.

Chen Heyu woke up, rubbed the little girl next to him, and said gently: "I have to leave today. Hurry up and open the cafe to Shanghai, and we will build a home there."

"I can't bear to leave you."

Luo Wenwen was wrapped around him like an octopus, her pink mouth slightly open, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Be good."

Chen Heyu kissed her, walked out of bed, and started washing and dressing.

After breakfast, we carried our suitcases and headed to the airport with Lao Mo.

Luo Wenwen drove off.

After two consecutive months of rest, some matters accumulated in Shanghai and Yancheng, which required him to rush back to deal with them.

Watching Chen Heyu leave, Luo Wenwen secretly encouraged herself and prepared to continue working hard in the second half of the year to bring Shanghai into the scope of operations.

Sitting in the waiting room, Chen Heyu read the news headlines.

"Yang Baobao and Huang Xiaoming held their wedding in Bali, and the 5-carat ultra-sparkling diamond caught the eye!"

"The well-known director Chen Sicheng was exposed to have cheated on him and suffered multiple domestic violence incidents!"

"Zhou Jiulun made an appearance in Shanghai and asked friends to play basketball and show off his skills!"

"The box office of "Sewing Machine Band" was 46 million on the first day, losing to Godzilla!"

"..."

He looked through the group messages and found yesterday's industry data. On the first day of its release, "Godzilla" earned 65 million in box office, accounting for 61% of the box office.

Da Peng's debut film "When a Man Loves" ended up with a box office of 430 million, leaving a very good impression on theaters. As the only domestic blockbuster released on the same day, it successfully obtained 29% of the film schedule.

Chen Heyu nodded. According to this trend, if the reputation does not collapse, he can earn at least 600 million.

I clicked on the book club group and sent out a few big red envelopes. After hanging out in the group for a while, I heard the broadcast, put away my phone, and got on the plane back to Shanghai.

Two hours later, we landed at Pudong International Airport.

Lao Zhou arranged for his assistant to deliver a Maybach for him to use when traveling in Shanghai. Lao Mo sat in the cab and asked: "Boss, where are you going?"

"Back to Shanhai Film and Television."

Chen Heyu did not raise his head and continued to play with his mobile phone.

Thinking of the news I just saw, Xiao Yang’s next movie has not yet been released. I feel no guilt in using Director Chen’s work.

After a while, the car stopped in the office park.

"Mr. Chen, good morning!"

When Fang Ying saw it was the boss, she smiled and said hello.

"By the way, how are Wen Xiaomi doing these days?"

Chen Heyu stopped and asked.

"Xiaomi went out with Sister Zhi to make announcements. She's not in Shanghai. She should be in Star City these days."

Fang Ying thought for a moment and replied.

"Well, I understand."

Chen Heyu continued to walk upstairs. On the way, he saw Lao Xiao talking to Guo Ban from a distance.

"Old Xiao, what are you busy with? Go upstairs and drink tea with me."

He waved and shouted.

"Hey, Mr. Chen is back, Lao Guo, you promised me, don't forget it."

Xiao Yang and Guo Fan reiterated.

"No problem, Director Xiao, there are many roles for passers-by."

Guo Fan smiled bitterly, Lao Xiao insisted on making a guest appearance in "The Wandering Earth", and he couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.

Xiao Yang grinned and trotted up to Chen Heyu.

"Lao Guo is ready to cast, I'm going to ask for a small role."

In front of his boss, he spoke in a carefree manner, without making any attempt to hide anything, and spoke frankly.

"Too boring lately?"

Chen Heyu smiled slightly and asked, "Lao Xiao has been filming non-stop in the past few years since he joined Shanhai. This time, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" will be scheduled for the National Day.

For a while, he completely relaxed and stayed in the company all day. When he was bored, he would hang out on Guo Fan's set and work as Lao Guo's deputy.

"There are some."

Xiao Yang said with a smile.

"I've prepared a new script for you, with a detective theme. Are you interested?"

Chen Heyu walked in front and turned to ask.

"Have you finished writing?"

Lao Xiao asked carefully, in order to poach Hu Ge, Chen Heyu dared to cheat even when he didn't write a single character in the script.

"What are you thinking about? The review passed last year."

Chen Heyu rolled his eyes at him. Is there no trust between people?

"Oh oh."

Xiao Yang smiled awkwardly, without any embarrassment, and pressed the floor button diligently.

When he came to the office, Chen Heyu opened the drawer, took out a stack of documents, took one out from the middle, and placed it in front of Lao Xiao.

Then, he walked to the tea tray and was busy making tea.

"Detective Chinatown?"

Lao Xiao picked up the script and slowly turned over it. After working in the film industry for several years, he has grown rapidly, and his acting and directing skills have greatly improved.

Vision and judgment have also made great progress!

Judging from the content of the script alone, the box office performance of this movie will not be too bad.

nonsense!

After all, it’s Chen Heyu’s book. Which one has he read?

It wasn't until he heard the sound of boiling hot water in his ears that he slowly put down the script, moved his chair and came to Chen Heyu.

"Mr. Chen, I want this book. Do you have any other instructions?"

Xiao Yang asked cautiously.

He knows Chen Heyu's temper very well and likes to designate some actors to play corresponding roles. Instead of waiting for the boss to speak, it is better to take the initiative.

"Give Bao Qiang the role of Tang Ren, and you can take care of the rest."

Chen Heyu replied.

The soul of this series is Tang Ren, who is indispensable. As for Liu Haoran, the original actor who played Qin Feng, he was signed in advance by Chen Sicheng.

Liu Xiaowan contacted her several times, but failed to impress her, so Chen Heyu stopped using his thoughts.

The three Tang Detective series, if run properly, have at least 10 billion in box office, and there is no way he would give up the second male lead to an outsider.

"What do you think of Wu Lei in the role of Qin Feng? He is the only contracted artist of the company's age group."

Xiao Yang thought for a moment and suggested.

"I'm too young, so my acting skills may be a problem."

Chen Heyu hesitated.

At that time, Wu Lei was not even sixteen years old by any means. His appearance was OK, his height was OK, and his acting skills were worrisome.

Even though the other party debuted as a child star, Chen Heyu was not optimistic about it.

"I'll train you, otherwise I'll follow Master Xing's example and hold an audition."

Xiao Yang fought hard again.

"Okay, it's a good idea. It's up to you. I only have one request: your acting skills must be on point."

Chen Heyu explained.

After getting the script, Lao Xiao drank a cup of tea with a smile and was about to leave. He was thinking about what alternatives there were in the industry if Wu Lei failed to meet the requirements.

"Call Guo Fan for me."

Seeing that he was about to step out the door, Chen Heyu ordered.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Xiao Yang agreed and closed the door.

He rushed into Lao Guo's office and saw him nestled in the art team, studying the storyboard script, so he smiled and said: "The boss called you."

"What's up?"

Guo Fan raised his head and asked.

"It's probably a matter of casting. Just remember it and ask the boss to specify it first. It'll be right."

Xiao Yang pointed out.

"Thank you, Lao Xiao."

Guo Fan and he were also familiar with each other, and they called him brothers on weekdays. They were in the same year, but Xiao Yang was just a few months older than him.

Lao Guo organized the documents, carried a large bag of things, and walked to Chen Heyu's office.

"Crunch!"

Guo Ban knocked on the door first, and after getting permission, he opened the door and walked in. He saw Chen Heyu making tea, sat down opposite him, and put down a pile of concept drawings.

"Drink tea and serve it yourself."

Chen Heyu picked up the document and flipped through the pages. The pictures were very delicate. It could be seen that Moss Ai 2.0 was used in them.

Otherwise, this effect and speed would not be possible!

"When do you plan to turn it on?"

He read dozens of pages and then asked.

"Let's finish the casting first. Do you have any guidance on this?"

Guo Fan rubbed his hands and asked from the bottom of his heart.

Listen to people's advice and eat enough. He always kept in mind the words of Director Xiao.

"The role of Tu Hengyu will be given to Liu Dehua, and the male lead will be played by Wu Jin. I will keep the schedule in advance.

The role of Ma Zhao was given to Ning Li and asked Liu Xiaowan to inquire about it and sign it if he could find it.

The heroine Han Duoduo is given to Wang Zhi, and Master Liu Peiqiang can use Shen Teng."

Chen Heyu selected several protagonists in one breath, including artists from Shanhai Film and Television and celebrities from Happy Twist. As for whether the other party would come, there was no need to consider it.

A science fiction masterpiece with an investment of 1 billion!

China Film Group holds 10% of the shares. From the day the project was established, this movie was destined to be a great movie.

Who is not greedy!

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I've written it all down."

Guo Fan was deeply grateful to Lao Xiao. He was worthy of being an old man from Shanhai. He had rich experience in the workplace and understood his boss's temper well enough.

"By the way, Han Duoduo's father asked Wu Tat to play the role."

Chen Heyu suddenly remembered the regrets in his previous life, and while Uncle Da was still healthy, he tried to make up for this regret.

"Well, I will make arrangements and let the casting director work immediately."

Guo Fan nodded and replied.

"The rest is no problem. You can release part of the storyboard manuscript and let the publicity team help you warm up first."

Chen Heyu added.

A few days later, Guo Fan released the news, and people in the industry learned that most of the leading roles had been confirmed, and then they started competing for other supporting roles.

The big and small kings of Huayi called and talked about inviting them to dinner and reminiscing about old friendships, but in reality they were thinking about the remaining characters.

Chen Heyu laughed and was a little speechless. Labor and management have an old relationship with you.

But they were all in a circle, looking down and not looking up, and dismissed them with a few perfunctory words.

"What kind of level do you still want to reminisce with me?!"

At Shanhai Capital, it was basically project approval for financing, and Chen Heyu spent a day sorting it out.

He will choose to invest in startups with potential, and directly pass on projects he has never heard of.

"Qile.com? Cross-border? Huang Zheng?"

Chen Heyu held a document in his hand and instantly thought of the resume of an e-commerce giant, and finally approved it below.

Let’s build a good relationship first. When Huang Zheng thinks about launching social e-commerce next year, he, a rich man who is willing to spend money, will definitely be slaughtered as the “first fat sheep”.

Who is the fat sheep?
