Note that this book is a slow-burn novel, and it will become increasingly exciting as the story progresses.
It starts from 2002, beginning at the Beijing Film Academy, and starting with the H...
Shen Kun leaned back on the sofa, sipping a cup of Shili Xiang milk tea in his left hand and holding Wangcai (his dog) in his right. He was wearing a brown bear-patterned pajama set, and there were Liangpin Shop snacks and fruits in front of him. He looked at Da Ming Feng Hua with great satisfaction.
"Xiao Kun, you've gone a bit too far."
"Third Uncle, I've been working hard for you for a year now, and I finally get a break."
Shen Fang picked up Wangcai, stroked it a bit, and noticed it had gotten even fatter, probably weighing around 20 pounds now. After sitting down, Zhang Yimou, Chen Daoming, Wang Gang, Huang Bin, Zhang Guoli, Zhang Mo, Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo, and Pan Yueming shared a few cigarettes.
The TV was showing the plot of episode 33.
Zhu Di awoke and told Zhu Zhanji about the Crown Prince's serious illness. Zhu Di ordered the Prince of Han and the Prince of Zhao to attack for another ten days; if they couldn't capture it, they should retreat to Yumu River. The fifth expedition ended, and Zhu Di fell ill at Yumu River. Yang Shiqi led the supplies there. Zhu Di summoned Yang Shiqi, instructing him to protect the Crown Prince's family and allow the Prince of Han to succeed to the throne. Yang Shiqi delivered the emperor's decree to Zhu Zhanji, who preferred death to a mundane life. The two discussed the matter all night but couldn't devise a foolproof plan. As dawn approached, the emperor sent someone to urge them to submit their memorials. Zhu Zhanji and Yang Shiqi went to see the emperor together. During the expedition, an order was issued to inspect medicines and provisions. The Oirat chieftain Esen came to pay his respects. Zhu Di had Zhu Zhanji impersonate the emperor and summon Esen. Zhu Zhanji, dressed in a dragon robe, sat leaning against the throne, while Zhu Di, disguised as an old soldier, stood below. Zhu Di ordered Fan Zhong to inquire about Esen's impression of the Ming emperor. Esen praised the old soldiers beside the emperor for their unparalleled bravery. Zhu Di was shocked and ordered Fan Zhong to pursue and kill Esen. The Ming army pursued for several miles, but Esen escaped. With a great victory at the front, the emperor wanted to divide his troops. The crown prince and the officials of the Ministry of War discussed the matter. The crown prince suspected that a hegemon had emerged on the grasslands and wanted to unify the command of the various tribes in the battleā¦
I must say, the filming was really good; Zhang Li is quite skilled.
Shen Fang looked at Zhong Lifang, who was helping in the kitchen: "Sister Lifang, give Zhang Li a big red envelope. This movie made money, and Director Zhang deserves a lot of credit."
Zhong Lifang nodded in response, "Director Zhang will be here soon, and Zhang Jizhong will be here too."
The TV series "Ming Dynasty" had 64 episodes, with a total investment of 60 million yuan. It generated 28 million yuan in advertising revenue, 12 million yuan in TV commercials, and 32 million yuan in first-run rights revenue per episode (500,000 yuan per episode). The remaining rerun rights were sold to Shanghai TV, Hunan TV, Zhejiang TV, and Beijing TV for 200,000 yuan per episode.
This one TV series alone earned nearly 60 million yuan in revenue. The TV series industry is incredibly lucrative. Of course, this is also due to Longteng's strength and the fact that the work is truly excellent, which is why it sold for such a price.
Those who have made contributions should be rewarded.
"Dad??? President Shen lives here??? This!!!!" Zhang Ruoyun stared at the Tiangong Manor in disbelief. It was enormous!!!
Zhang Li was also here for the first time and was taken aback by the Heavenly Palace. He had seen rich people before, but to live here? Wow! The happiness of the rich was something he couldn't even imagine!
"Son, don't say your father isn't looking out for you. The person I'm taking you to meet today is a very important person. I only dared to bring you here because I've achieved something. I'm shamelessly giving you this opportunity. So behave well, don't say anything out of line, and be a little sweet-talking, understand?"
Zhang Ruoyun looked at his unreliable father with great emotion. Ever since his divorce from his mother, his father had not cared about him at all. Recently, for some reason, his father suddenly came to him, saying that he wanted to find a good way out for him. With the airing of "Ming Dynasty", his father's name suddenly became popular. Although his mother did not like his father, she did not stop him from finding a way out for him.
"Xiao Pei, did you bring the gift? Don't forget it."
Liu Pei smiled and said, "I brought it with me. Why are you so nervous? If you ask me, what kind of person is your boss? Does he need you to bring these things? It's unnecessary."
"What do you know? What day is it today? New Year's Day. We've come all this way, how can we not bring a gift?"
"Hey Zhang, what brings you here?"
Zhang Li turned around and saw Zhao Baogang, the bearded man, Zhang Yongxin, and the Feng couple.
"Why are you here?"
Waiting for the pants to smile: "Is this your son? The young man is quite handsome."
Zhang Li quickly introduced, "This is my son Ruoyun. Son, these are all your father's colleagues: Uncle Feng, Uncle Zhao, and two Uncle Zhangs."
Zhang Ruoyun looked completely bewildered. How could someone who isn't his biological father be so powerful? These are all top directors in the industry!
However, Zhang Ruoyun still obediently greeted them: "Uncle Feng, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhao."
Zhao Baogang and the others nodded: "Why did Old Zhang bring his whole family? And his son too?"
Liu Pei smiled and said, "It's none of your business."
She's acquainted with several people in Beijing's entertainment circle. Feng Xiaogang goes without saying; they worked together during the "Party A, Party B" era, so they're old friends. She's also worked with Zhao Baogang and Zhang Yongxin; they all know each other. It's just that she hasn't been acting in recent years because she got married. But she's a senior figure in the industry, so there's no need for her to be overly formal with them. Liu Pei isn't the type to be petty or narrow-minded.
Feng Kuzi grinned: "The 'Big Sa Mi' from back then is still the same 'Big Sa Mi.' I haven't seen Liu Pei for a few years. To be honest, you've lost out by following Lao Zhang."
Liu Pei rolled his eyes at Feng Kuzi: "Xu Fan is at a loss following you."
Feng Kuzi chuckled: "Old Zhang, you've really got some serious work going! Deng Hua's filming was great, I bet that guy will win an award this time."
Zhang Li smiled smugly: "That's why I brought my son here. He's also learning acting, and I'm trying to find him a good future."
Zhang the Bearded looked around and saw that the area was completely boundless: "Hey guys, this place is so big, how are we supposed to get around? Has any of you been here before?"
The group exchanged glances and shook their heads.
"This used to be where Empress Fucha lived. I never expected that this gentleman would buy it. Wow, he's really something," Zhao Baogang exclaimed.
"You could say that's not true, but I've heard that his net worth is already over 10 billion, and he's only 19 years old. Damn, if we were to be worth that much, we'd all be dead by now."
Just as the group was standing there, unsure of what to do, several golf carts drove straight towards them.
The group exchanged glances. Wow, they even had a car parked at home. It was just like the movies.
