Chapter 840 The position is different
"You are always too soft-hearted, too soft-hearted
I cry alone until dawn
You love that person without regrets
I know you’re not that strong.”
After New Year's Day, a love song with a soothing melody suddenly filled the streets and alleys of Yanjing, and could be heard at any time in various public places such as barber shops and karaoke bars.
While getting his hair cut, Lin Weimin had already been brainwashed by this song. When he returned home, he found that even his daughter was humming the song.
"Who taught you this song?" Lin Weimin asked.
Xiao Doubao was teasing the turtle in the pond with a stick. "I heard it, Dad. Do I sing well?"
Lin Weimin didn't care whether Xiao Doubao was happy or not, he picked her up and gave her a kiss, "Nice!"
Xiao Doubao wiped her face with her sleeves, and asked with a flattering smile, "Dad, when are we going to build the roller skating rink?"
These days, the little girl has been thinking about her roller skating rink.
The ice rink is of course good, but it can only be used in winter, which is not cost-effective. After careful consideration, Xiao Doubao feels that the roller skating rink is more practical.
"We can't rush this. Dad has to find a place."
"Dad, you have to build it bigger," Little Bean Bun reminded.
"I know. I know."
As the father and daughter were talking, Tao Huimin suddenly came over, and they both immediately fell silent.
They pretended as if nothing had happened, but in Tao Huimin's eyes, they seemed to be acting sneakily.
Not wanting to pay attention to the unruly father and daughter, Tao Huimin said, "Dudu is here, and brought a bottle of tiger bone wine. Think about giving it to your brother-in-law later."
"knew."
Lin Weimin agreed.
Han Dingbang was left with a disability in one of his legs during the Buzz Buzz Buzz period. The pain occurs when it is cloudy or rainy, and there is no cure.
Tiger bone wine has the function of dispelling wind and dampness and strengthening muscles and bones. In recent years, Lin Weimin often asked people to collect some to relieve his pain.
But this thing is becoming increasingly difficult to make, and the price is naturally high.
Lin Weimin handed the small bean bun to Tao Huimin and entered the living room. Ma Dudu saw him and stood up and said, "Teacher Lin."
"sit!"
The two sat down and chatted for a while, and then Ma Dudu reported to Lin Weimin on the land acquisition and demolition work.
The demolition of Gaojing Hutong was mainly carried out by the government. With Lin Weimin as a big sponsor, compensation was not a problem and the progress was naturally smooth.
However, demolition is always a time-consuming and labor-intensive matter. Now the compensation for demolition has been almost negotiated, but where the residents will settle after the demolition is still a problem. The municipal government is still coordinating, and the actual demolition will have to wait until the beginning of spring after the New Year.
"Well, we can just keep pushing forward. Although I'm not in a hurry, you have to keep an eye on the municipal government and put some pressure on them. We've spent real money." Lin Weimin said.
"Yes, I understand."
After finishing the business, Lin Weimin asked again: "If you have time, please ask me if there is a larger venue nearby that can be rented for a long time."
"How big is the venue? What do you plan to use it for?"
"Little Doubao wants a roller skating rink, but children are only partially enthusiastic. I thought of renting a place and building one first. I guess she will get tired of it after playing for a year." Lin Weimin said.
"Okay, I'll ask around and let you know if I find a suitable place."
After finishing the conversation, Ma Dudu stood up and said goodbye.
Before leaving, he saw Xiao Doubao kicking the jujube tree. She seemed to want to shake off the few remaining leaves on the tree.
Ma Dudu couldn't help but reveal a bit of envy in his eyes. This is the child who was born to stand at the finish line!
During this year's New Year's Day, the most popular song was "Heart Too Soft" and the most popular movie was "See You Tomorrow".
In its first week, the film earned 14.2 million yuan at the box office. In the following two weeks, See You Tomorrow earned 22.5 million yuan and 16.4 million yuan respectively, bringing the cumulative box office to 53.1 million yuan.
The audiences gave this movie very good reviews, but the industry's reviews were not high. This was not only true for the movie, but also for Feng Xiaogang the director.
The article in "Popular Movies" did have a great influence. Although it made Feng Xiaogang famous, it also made him hated by people in the industry.
The box office of the movie is about to exceed 60 million. Feng Xiaogang has two movies with a box office of 60 million in his hands. It would be unfair if he is not hated.
"See You Tomorrow" is very popular, and the TV series "My College Days" produced by Wencheng is not much less popular.
The ratings of this TV series have been rising since it was broadcast on CCTV on New Year's Day. The series is not long, with only 26 episodes. It just ended yesterday, and the ratings of the finale reached 31%.
The promotional focus of "My College Days" has always been on the sequel to "The Season of Youth", the actors are all the original cast, and the story background has been upgraded from high school to college, so it has naturally been well received by TV viewers.
But it is also a fact that the ratings are lower than "Season of Flowers and Rain". Judging from the comprehensive audience reviews, the production level of the TV series is average. It is not particularly outstanding, but it has not made any major mistakes.
When "Season of Flowers and Rain" was produced, Wencheng Film and Television had just been established. This project received great attention from Lin Weimin, and the entire company put a lot of effort into this TV series.
Wencheng Film and Television is currently producing four or five dramas at the same time. The production level of "My College Days" is indeed not as good as "Season of Flowers and Rain", which has always been a common problem for sequels.
Another important reason why "My College Days" is not as good as its predecessor is the decline in CCTV's overall ratings.
In fact, it is not just CCTV. The ratings trend of TV stations across the country is the same.
Before the reform and opening up, movies were the undisputed mainstream form of entertainment in China.
In the 1980s, televisions became increasingly popular and TV dramas became the public's favorite form of entertainment.
By the 1990s, there were more and more entertainment options, people's leisure life became more and more abundant, and the dominance of television and movies in the entertainment field was gradually declining.
Although some of Wencheng Film and Television's hit TV series have achieved viewership ratings of 20, 30, 40 or even 50 percent, last year, among the TV series broadcast by CCTV-1, only a handful had viewership ratings of over 10 percent.
In comparison, the performance of "My College Days" is excellent.
The most important thing is that this sequel is much more efficient in making money than "The Flower Season and the Rainy Season". The purchase price of the first broadcast by CCTV has been increased to 250,000 per episode compared to 200,000 per episode of "The Flower Season and the Rainy Season". This is definitely the highest standard for CCTV to purchase dramas in history. In the words of later generations, this is the level of the king of dramas.
In addition, during the production of "My College Years", many domestic provincial TV stations and satellite TV stations came to purchase it.
The previous work "Season of Flowers and Rain" broke the 50% viewership rating when it was broadcast on CCTV, and the viewership ratings when it was broadcast in various places also achieved remarkable results. Now that the sequel is about to come out, these TV stations are naturally flocking to it.
The competition among various parties has caused the copyright fees for "My College Days" to soar.
After the first broadcast on CCTV, the copyright fees for the second round of broadcast of the TV series were basically recovered, leaving only a small amount of the balance unpaid.
36.8 million yuan.
The first and second rounds of copyright fees for "My College Days" set an astonishing figure. Taking into account the continuous income in the future, this TV series will bring at least more than 50 million yuan in revenue to Wencheng Film and Television.
Wencheng Film and Television won a great victory at the beginning of the year, and Haiyan walked with the wind.
Leaving Kunlun Hotel and taking charge of Wencheng Film and Television should be the most correct decision he has made in his life. The correctness of this decision can even be compared to the book "Plainclothes Policeman" which he wrote as an outsider in more than a year.
"Plainclothes Police" brought him fame, honor, and a certain amount of wealth.
But switching to Wencheng Film and Television allowed Haiyan to achieve a solid class transition.
He himself came from a good family, a red family, but this did not help him much after he grew up.
After entering the police system, relying on his own abilities and networking skills, he finally got the position of manager of Kunlun Hotel. He was busy with guests every day, and the people he came into contact with were of high level.
But this kind of position is like those salesgirls at luxury goods counters. They sell luxury goods worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they face wealthy people with assets of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars all day long. Being in such an environment can easily give them the illusion that they are part of it.
To put it bluntly, the core of this job is still service.
The resources at his disposal are extremely limited, and his salary is still within the range of the working class. Unless he is determined to do some shady business, it is difficult for this position to bring him a lot of wealth and a high social status.
When Haiyan joined Wencheng Film and Television, he was initially attracted by the money.
After nearly two years of development, Wencheng Film and Television has grown bigger and bigger, and he has earned income far beyond his original imagination.
More importantly, the social resources and influence he possesses are a world apart from when he worked at the Kunlun Hotel.
When he was at the Kunlun Hotel, he was able to meet many people and could ask for help when he encountered problems, but at that time he had to ask others for help.
Now in Wencheng Film and Television, the circle of contacts he has come into contact with has not increased much, and in fact has decreased a bit from the perspective of power, but now, most of the time, he has become the one being asked for help.
This role change is the greatest benefit that Wencheng Film and Television has given Haiyan.
Just like the party he organized a few years ago, he made a phone call and many people responded. The main people at the party were the original group of people from Haima Studio.
When Haima Studios was first established, it launched several satellites in the Chinese film and television industry and made a great name for itself.
Unfortunately, everyone was busy with their own things later on, and the once popular Haima Studio also fell into silence.
Every TV series produced by Wencheng Film and Television is now a hit. Its revenue last year reached 110 million yuan. It has become one of the most powerful film and television companies in China, and it is in harmony with Wenhua Film and Television, which is also under the Guowen Society.
As the head of Wencheng, Haiyan is now a well-known figure in the domestic film and television circles, and even in the cultural circles. Everyone comes to support him out of respect.
It has been several years since the members of Kaiba Studio got together like this, and everyone is very excited to see each other again.
But as everyone was chatting, they realized that the key figure, Wang Shuo, seemed to be missing.
Some people who were not well-informed even asked others, "Why didn't Master Shuo come?"
As soon as this question was asked, many people looked strange.
Several people have their eyes on Feng Xiaogang. The little bastard who used to follow Wang Shuo and fawn on him everywhere has now transformed into a big director. On the contrary, Shuoye, who was once a powerful figure, is no longer as famous as he used to be.
The atmosphere of the party became awkward because of a question. Seeing this, Haiyan said openly, "Master Shuo has been in a bad mood recently and is in a bad mood."
His words opened the conversation, and everyone else stopped worrying.
Except for a few friends who he didn't keep in touch with usually, everyone knew that Feng Xiaogang had withdrawn from Good Dreams. Everyone whispered a few words, and a few people who were not in the know suddenly realized it.
"Let's change the topic, let's change the topic." Haiyan said.
He asked everyone to change the topic, and everyone really changed the topic.
"Hey, have you heard? Master Shuo and his mistress broke up!"
There is always a lot of gossip at a drinking party, especially when the person involved is someone everyone knows and is not around.
"Break up? Why did they break up? Aren't they as sweet as honey?"
"Who knows? I've seen that girl before. She's just a girl in the entertainment circle. She follows Master Shuo..."
Those who are involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things more clearly.
As bystanders, they can see the things between Shuoye and Xiaomi most clearly.
A young and beautiful female college student, who has never lacked suitors, fell in love with Wang Shuo, an ordinary middle-aged man. What's her purpose?
Before the food even arrived, everyone was already chatting animatedly.
Feng Xiaogang sat on the left side of Haiyan today. He did not participate in everyone's conversation. He took a sip of tea and glanced at everyone.
He has participated in such scenes countless times over the years.
Only this time, the seat he sat in was different!
