"Autumn has a bright moon shining in the night sky, watching winter paintings makes me love how the snow is falling, spring and summer are bright and cheerful, there are so many wonderful things..."
In the evening of that day, the recorder was playing the song "Cabar Le" by the Wenner band from a few years ago. Chen Qi was holding a piece of durian in his left hand and a pen in his right hand, writing an outline of a story.
The unique smell of durian rushes into the nasal cavity, which is stinky and a bit addictive.
Many people were not used to eating this thing for the first time, and Gong Xue had already vomited it...
The tip of the pen rustled on the paper, linking up with his brain. As of now, Dongchang has only one movie to be released for the Christmas season, "The Love of Ghosts", and "Life is Beautiful" is still in the later stages.
The copyright of "Orphan" has been sold and has not yet been released in the United States. I don't know how 20th Century Fox planned it. However, for a film that sells copyrights, it will take a long time to be released overseas. In some cases, it may take one year or two years.
.
I asked Ed to inquire about New Line Cinema, but there was no news either. The efficiency was just too slow.
Next, he will focus on the promotion of "The Love of Ghosts" and the entrepreneurial work of Legendary Pictures.
The first thing to consider was the cost. The capital was too small, only 2 million. Chen Qi considered filming "Mr. Zombie", but later he calculated that the cost was too high. The original version cost 8.5 million Hong Kong dollars, which he couldn't afford now.
After thinking about it, I just decided to watch a romantic blockbuster called "Seven Days of Love"!
The original version starred Zhong Zhentao and Ye Tong, and Ye Tong had some revealing scenes. The entire film was basically indoors, and the cost was low, and it won 15 million at the box office.
He first wrote an outline, then gave it to Zhuang Cheng to perfect the script, copying the original cast. If the scale was too large in Taiwan's review, it would be cut. In short, if it can be released in Taiwan and show up in front of Tong Yuejuan, it is a success.
Take pictures of the later ones.
"Wow!"
The sound of flushing water came from the bathroom. Gong Xue washed his face, brushed his teeth, and came out listlessly: "I will never eat durian again, I will die or live."
"Why are you having such a big reaction? Are you allergic?"
"I don't know. Anyway, I don't like the taste. Ugh... you should finish it quickly!"
She took a step back, staring at Chen Qi as he ate the piece of durian, and then stared at him as he brushed his teeth. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and she pulled it away. Shi Nansheng stood outside hauntedly: "Xiaoxue, let's go play cards.
!”
"No, no, no!"
"Let's go, the worst is we won't win against you!"
"I can't do it today. I feel sick. I need to rest."
"nausea?"
Shi Nansheng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened: "You have it?!"
"Don't talk nonsense, I just eat durian!"
Gong Xue also stared wide-eyed. Chen Qi came out with a toothbrush and testified: "Yes, I'm just eating durian, and I'm forced to brush my teeth!"
"Then you should also be careful and take precautions."
Shi Nansheng left with a joking look on his face and went to grab Zhong Chuhong and Liu Xuehua.
"Speaking of which, I've always wanted to ask you something..."
Chen Qi brushed his teeth and said vaguely: "When you play mahjong with them, do you talk about everything?"
"Um?"
"It's just four women together, it's quite unconscionable, talking about all kinds of topics?"
"I don't understand, what do you mean?"
Gong Xue blinked her big eyes.
"Still pretending! Nan Sheng told me that day, did you tell us all the embarrassing things about us?"
"How is that possible?"
Gong Xue seemed to have been greatly wronged and said: "In your eyes, am I such an unreliable person? Of course I won't say anything!"
"Really not?"
"No, no!"
"Then how did Nan Sheng know?"
"She lied to you!"
"I really didn't say that!"
"You have to believe me!"
"Oh...they insist on asking..."
Chen Qi rolled his eyes.
Then he picked her up suddenly, threw her on the sofa, and slapped her on the butt.
"ah!"
"I really didn't say anything, I just mentioned a few words... Because, because Nan Sheng mentioned it first, Sister Hui also joined in, and they both said it, so I didn't want to say it..."
"The Xiangjiang Sisters are members, right? They share the secrets of the boudoir, right? In the past few months, you have been too influenced by unhealthy tendencies. If you don't learn from the good ones, you will learn from the bad ones!"
He hit her a few more times, and Gong Xue lay on his lap and said gloomily: "I feel that I am in love with Nan Sheng, and I also regard Sister Hui as my elder sister. It is rare for me to have a few good friends, and I am very happy."
"You can talk about anything when you are happy? Aunt Shi Hui is still an elder, huh?"
Chen Qi scratched his head. My name is Auntie, and your name is Sister Hui. Isn’t this a seniority difference?
"I was wrong, I won't say it again!"
Gong Xue got up, hugged his neck, and said, "Hey, I'll leave after filming in a few days!"
"Okay, okay, I'm not angry..."
Chen Qi pinched her face and said: "But to be honest, you did suffer a lot in Hong Kong. You should be careful when you go back. The habits of the two sides are still different."
"Yeah, I know!"
"Go back and practice your lines and host a Spring Festival Gala for everyone to see."
"I'm confident, I've memorized it long ago... But I can't go home for the Chinese New Year. I originally wanted to buy some clothes for my parents, buy some New Year's goods, etc., but now I can't give them to them myself."
She leaned on Chen Qi's shoulder and suddenly became disappointed, saying quietly: "I came to Hong Kong and Berlin to promote "Tai Chi", but I didn't celebrate the New Year at home. I was at home last year, but I'm not at home this year.
Since I became a professional actor, I have been away from home for the Chinese New Year for two of the three years."
"Oh, it's all my fault!"
"I'm not blaming you. I know you are doing it for my own good. I just feel that there are gains and losses. I have to sacrifice something when I enjoy the glory of being an actor."
"..."
Chen Qi put his arms around her waist, and a pleasant fragrance wafted from her hair, saying, "Actually, there is a way."
"Um?"
"You can invite your parents to come to the capital and watch the show live."
Gong Xue sat up and looked at him with big eyes: "Are you serious? You want to invite my parents?"
"Isn't it possible?" Chen Qi smiled.
"No, no, uh-huh, that's great! I'll write them a letter and you can ask someone to deliver it to them."
"You're going back in a few days. It's enough to just call home in Shanghai. What else should you write?"
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot!"
She knocked her head in embarrassment, but she became visibly excited.
…………
In October, the weather in Shanghai becomes cooler.
Usually at this time, there is not much rain in Shanghai and there is plenty of sunshine, but today it is drizzling.
With the expansion of Dongchang, several more administrative staff were added. Zhao Wenchao was the second batch to join. He used to be an employee of a unit under the Ministry of Culture and was transferred here. Well, I am very satisfied!
He was very satisfied just to be able to go to Hong Kong!
When he came back this time, as soon as he landed, he ran to Shang Meiying and met the factory director Te Wei.
"According to the previous agreement, we officially entrusted your company to produce 100 episodes, oh no, it should be 99 episodes of "Idiom Moving Gallery". Based on the volume, we will first produce the first episode with a total of 15 episodes for a period of four months."
Tewei learned about the specific content and frowned: "15 episodes is more than 30 minutes, and four months is actually okay, but why do we need to meet Ding Kemao's prescribed time limit?
And your reward mechanism, double the reward when it is completed and triple it one month in advance. Isn’t this using money to corrupt our artistic staff?”
"Old factory director, you don't know something!
Comrade Chen Qi screened this episode to the Hong Kong literary and art circles, and invited many parents and children to watch it live. It was a huge compliment! He thinks it is very suitable for children to watch, has very good educational significance, and can spread the knowledge of our Chinese nation.
traditional culture.
We are also very anxious and want all the children in Hong Kong to see quickly that there is no such thing as money corruption. What you said is too serious!"
"..."
Tewei twitched the corner of his mouth, but he had already agreed and signed a contract before. If you want to do something, you must complete it, otherwise it will tarnish the reputation of Shangmei Film. He said: "Okay, okay, you go find the person responsible.
Comrade, discuss in detail."
…
"Hey, please walk slowly!"
"No more!"
Mark Xuan and Wang Borong saw off Zhao Wenchao and looked at each other, unable to hide their excitement.
In addition to the completed episode, there are still 14 episodes of tasks. Each episode costs 4,000 Hong Kong dollars, which can earn 56,000 Hong Kong dollars for the factory. But this is not the point, the point is the reward!
The two quickly calculated that if it was done one month in advance and divided into groups of four, each person would get 900 yuan!
That’s 300 yuan per month!
Even if you find helpers, you can still make enough money, because the salary of the master craftsmen in the factory is only a few dozen yuan!
But where to find help?
If we can no longer dig from within, it will affect other projects and the old factory director will get angry.
Wang Borong thought for a while and said in a low voice: "I know a few young people who have studied art. They wanted to work in a factory but didn't, but they still have some skills. They can use their spare time to help us make original paintings, and for a little compensation they will do it.
Very happy."
"His!"
Mark Xuan was a little scared: "Are we considered employees? Capitalist restoration?"
"We don't call it employment, this calls it helping young people expand employment channels. The country is racking its brains to find jobs for young people, and we are just doing our part."
"Then give it a try?"
"Try it, who doesn't want to make money?!"
Chapter completed!
