"Box office 300 million——"
Mr. Zhang's secretary tried to flatter him, but was interrupted by Mr. Zhang: "You have to be more precise. It's 303 million! You rounded off the 3 million box office? That's 3 million, not 30,000 yuan or 300 yuan!"
Mr. Zhang's secretary quickly reflected on himself, "Mr. Zhang, you're absolutely right. I was careless. 3 million is really a lot for some movies!"
The secretary pronounced the words "some movies" with a strong emphasis.
Mr. Zhang snorted and pointed out directly: "There are no outsiders here, you can just tell me which movie it is."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, I should have said it straight... 'Demon Transformation' really needs those 3 million in box office revenue!"
People who are thin-skinned cannot be secretaries. A good secretary may not have outstanding abilities, but must know how to please the boss.
When Mr. Zhang heard the secretary say the name "Demon Transformation", he felt relieved.
"Even though Ran is such a scoundrel, I still cherish our friendship. I'm willing to donate the remaining 3 million yuan in box office revenue to 'Demon Transformation'. That way, the total box office for 'Demon Transformation' will exceed 80 million yuan."
That sounds really generous.
But is Mr. Zhang such a person?
Obviously not!
The secretary looked disdainful and said, "Even if you generously give 'Demon Transformation' a 3 million box office figure, its total box office before profit sharing won't even cover the production costs!"
These words really hit Mr. Zhang's sweet spot.
Hahahahahahahaha!
Mr. Zhang was really very happy, so happy that he couldn't help but want to call to humiliate Mr. Ran. The secretary was really worried that Mr. Zhang would lose his mind - the success of a movie is temporary, and the scale of "Liansheng" is still much smaller than that of "Huanyu". Mr. Zhang should not be too complacent.
After this humiliating phone call, Mr. Ran will definitely hold a grudge against Liansheng.
The secretary quickly changed the subject and asked about Mr. Zhang's celebration party.
A celebration party naturally costs money. The larger the venue and the higher the quality, the higher the budget. Mr. Zhang is a thrifty person, so he'll probably save wherever he can. The secretary was already mentally prepared, but Mr. Zhang was unusually generous:
"Of course, the more lively the better. Don't be afraid to spend money, just budget high!"
The premiere of "Shendu Youth" was very low-key, but it was a celebration party, and Mr. Zhang likes to be high-profile.
The secretary nervously handed the budget sheet to Mr. Zhang for review. When Mr. Zhang saw the budget expenses, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his face looked as if he was suffering from heartache.
Then Mr. Zhang closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and signed.
"Just follow this standard...hiss...quickly take it away, don't let me see this watch..."
If he looked at it a few more times, Mr. Zhang’s heart rate would go off the charts!
After CEO Zhang generously increased the budget, the celebration for "Shendu: Youth's Journey" was held at a grand scale. A large hotel, a grand venue, and exquisite decor were all included. CEO Zhang and Yuan Fenghui didn't even need to specifically invite people; many people in the industry volunteered to attend.
Yuan Fenghui said this is the reality of the entertainment industry: "We're so popular now, everyone wants to ride on our popularity. If you can use some connections to help you get some benefits, of course it would be the best. If you can't get any benefits, you can still make yourself known. Who knows, maybe we can work together someday?"
Yuan Fenghui was afraid that Wen Ying would lose her mind if she was flattered too much, so she gave Wen Ying a heads-up in advance.
Wen Ying smiled, "I know that successful people are surrounded by good people. Now everyone is coming towards us enthusiastically. If we fail a few times, they will retreat like a tide!"
Yuan Fenghui felt relieved when she heard Ying was so understanding.
Yuan Fenghui also said the same thing to Yun Chen and Zhang Yangning.
After Li Mengjiao fell silent, all the resources of "Tianjiao" were invested in these two people. Yun Chen and Zhang Yangning did live up to their expectations. The box office success of "Shendu Youth" made them gain popularity again.
Zhang Yangning is still a little weaker, Yun Chen is really popular now.
Yun Chen became famous while filming the TV series, but that fame didn't catch the eye of the industry's bigwigs. Only after the movie became a huge success did the bigwigs in the industry start to talk to him more. Stars who can carry the box office are all treasures and the most favored by investors.
Another person who gained a lot was Xu Mei.
Xu Mei's acting skills accumulated in the previous two TV series suddenly broke out, and her performance in "Shendu Youth" was recognized by the industry.
In terms of popularity, Xu Mei is not as good as Yun Chen.
In terms of acting skills, everyone thinks Xu Mei’s acting is better than Yun Chen’s!
The box office success of "Shendu Youth" has Xu Mei relieved. Previously, when Pei Yiyi's drama was a hit, Xu Mei worried that Jiaxin's resources would be tilted towards her. Now that the movie is so successful, Xu Mei is still the undisputed number one actress at Jiaxin!
…
Before the celebration party, Li Mengjiao returned from the countryside.
The filming of "Tangli Love" has been completed, and Li Mengjiao, the girl who worked as a handyman on the set, has naturally lost her job. Li Mengjiao, who graduated from Lin Wenxuan's acting class, has become much tanned, less coquettish and more rustic. Without the blessing of gorgeous clothes and makeup, no one would believe that she is a big star!
"I've become thinner and more reserved."
Wen Ying was quite satisfied with Li Mengjiao's changes. Yuan Fenghui looked her over from head to toe and remained noncommittal. "Do you want to go to the celebration party for 'Shendu Youth'?"
If Wen Ying had based the heroine on Li Mengjiao when she wrote the script, even if Li Mengjiao's love affair was exposed, she might have made a comeback because of the movie "Shendu Youth".
Wen Ying didn't do that. She wrote the heroine's character according to her heart and finally helped Xu Mei!
As a human being, emotions outweigh rationality. Wen Ying herself felt a little regretful - if she had known that Hanhan would be so greatly affected by the exposure of his relationship, Wen Ying could have lowered her principles when writing the script.
