Get a movie contract

When she woke up naturally, there was no one by her side. Shen Roujiao slapped her forehead heavily. She had no memory of what happened last night.

Fearing that she would be scolded, she secretly pushed the door open a little and looked into the living room again and again. Not seeing Zhou Huaiyue, she bravely tiptoed out and bumped into Zhou Huaiyue coming out of the kitchen. She was so scared that she immediately turned around and tried to escape, but was hugged by the waist.

"Why are you running!" Zhou Huaiyue grabbed her waist, picked up Shen Roujiao from behind, and put her down at the door of the bathroom. "There's hot water in the thermos. Go and wipe yourself, then have dinner."

"Oh." He looked like a guilty thief.

After washing up, the food and dishes were already laid out. Shen Roujiao just sat down when a peeled egg was handed to her. "Thank you, thank you." This shouldn't be the case. Why doesn't Zhou Huaiyue look angry?

"Well, I didn't make any noise last night, did I?" The trembling Bao shrank his neck.

Zhou Huaiyue was stunned for a moment in confusion, "You don't remember?" Seeing the silly look on the opposite side, he raised the corners of his mouth and sneered, "It's better to forget it."

?

The word "very good" made Shen Roujiao feel cold.

What kind of nonsense was she talking about to make Zhou Huaiyue so angry that he said something sarcastic.

"I was wrong. There won't be a next time, I promise." Shen Roujiao raised three fingers and said it seriously with a solemn oath, but what she was thinking in her heart was: Red wine like Margaux is really rare, and I can't get my hands on it at all, okay.

"Next time," Zhou Huaiyue stretched out his chopsticks and tapped the edge of her bowl, "I will be able to drink after this."

"Guaranteed." Shen Roujiao giggled, and seeing his confused look, she added, "Guaranteed to be obedient."

"Watch?!..." The trophy that she had searched for in her pockets at the bedside for a long time but couldn't find was now clearly worn on Zhou Huaiyue's wrist.

"Yeah, just right." He smiled wickedly, glanced at Shen Roujiao's surprised face, and continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

!

Huh? Why isn't he angry yet?

Before that, the jealous king had already questioned her, how did she get the watch? Not to mention wearing it, it must have been thrown out of the window, and she went to look for it secretly.

Facing Zhou Huaiyue, who was a little bit frighteningly abnormal, Shen Roujiao was uneasy, "Like, as long as you like it. Hehe."

She finished her meal with a heavy heart and wanted to wash the dishes. Just as she stood up to clean them up, she was stopped by someone in a stern voice, "Put it down."

It’s over!

Just stop and wait to be scolded.

Zhou Huaiyue asked coldly across the dining table, "Have you eaten?" Seeing her nod weakly, he frowned again, "Come here."

"I really know I was wrong." She sat there not daring to move, staring blankly at Zhou Huaiyue with a look of begging for mercy.

"Come here!" He pointed his chin in front of him, with a stern tone that would not tolerate any rebuttal.

I drank so much red wine last night, and now my liver is shaking. Shen Roujiao reluctantly moved to his side. But the next second, Zhou Huaiyue lifted her up high. He couldn't suppress his joy and couldn't pretend anymore, "It's time to pay off the debt."

After saying that, he held Shen Roujiao's legs with both hands, crossed them around his waist, and walked towards the bedroom.

Her eyes were seductive as she grabbed Zhou Huaiyue's collar and said, "You are scaring me, Brother Huaiyue!" Her voice had a seductive twist that made people's hearts itch.

The moment he closed the door, he kissed her slender neck, his lips close to her ear, "Scream louder later."

…

During the first half-time break, Shen Roujiao still had the energy to describe her surprise when she saw Boss Zhu at Wen Ya's house.

…

During the second half-time break, she leaned against Zhou Huaiyue's chest and weakly begged him to repaint the "Ganqi Ziying Tu".

…

The third time, she was so tired that she couldn't even lift her fingers, and fell asleep in the arms of the kind and loving Zhou Huaiyue.

In the following days, Zhou Huaiyue, who had no rebellious nature, really repainted the "Ganqi Ziying Picture" obediently.

There was no time to mount the painting, so Shen Roujiao took it to Wanniantang Pharmacy. She waited in the store for an hour before Boss Zhu appeared, saying, "What a rare guest, Miss Sanhua."

"I'm giving the boss a painting, which was repainted by Huaiyue." The painting was spread out and laid flat on the eight-immortals table.

"Draw? Didn't I lose?" Boss Zhu couldn't suppress the frown on his face.

"We're tied. Uncle Wen and I drank the two bottles of red wine at the back, so it doesn't count as a win. Biao, I'll take it and draw it for you."

By the way, neither of them could have imagined that five years later, at a foreign auction in 1988, this painting "Ganqi Ziying" would be sold at a sky-high price of 15 million, setting a new record for the highest price ever paid for Zhou Huaiyue's calligraphy and painting works.

And the Grand Duke's Rolex with an owl was sold at auction for 600,000 Swiss francs, or about 4.5 million, thirty years later in 2018.

However, this watch was eventually given to Zhang Qingjun's eldest son by Shen Roujiao and Zhou Huaiyue's beloved daughter.

......

Shen Roujiao stepped aside to make room for Boss Zhu to admire this new work. It must be said that Zhou Huaiyue's calligraphy has made great progress and has long surpassed Shen Roujiao. Chinese calligraphy and painting emphasize that calligraphy and painting complement each other. Calligraphy and painting account for 10%, and painting only accounts for 30%. The rest is the words and the brushwork.

"Obedience is worse than respect. I'll take it." Boss Zhu folded it carefully, turned around and handed it to the driver behind him, looking at Shen Roujiao with interest, "Call me Brother Zhu from now on, don't call me Boss, it's unfamiliar."

The girl in front of him is not only good at doing business, but also very good at dealing with people. She can drink and talk well. She is a smart person who can do big things. Boss Zhu likes to deal with smart people.

"Okay, Brother Zhu, I have one more thing to ask of you."

Shen Roujiao was able to come in person to deliver the painting mainly because of Boss Zhu's brother-in-law status. Last time when they were drinking, she only mentioned it briefly and did not mention "The Shepherd". Now that my brother has called, I must work harder on what needs to be done.

Around the third day, things took a turn for the better.

Xie Yunli called Zhou's house. Director Meng and Director Xie had just returned from a meeting at the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. They asked the Beijing Film Academy's Shepherd crew to submit a reflection on the film's ten-year catastrophe. The reflection was divided into two parts: one was the unfair treatment the protagonist received, and the other was the protagonist's impact on the surrounding environment and characters.

The reflection materials on the specific plot were sorted out the next day and submitted. It is said that the radio and television department held a special meeting to discuss this matter, and finally decided to allow "The Shepherd" to pass the review.

The news reached Shen Roujiao. With the sincere help of Director Xie, she met with the old director of Beijing Film Academy and proposed a plan to cooperate with "The Shepherd", which included the premiere, film advertising and the right to use the heroine's image.

Director Meng was initially worried that Sanhua would ask for a share of the box office revenue, but to his surprise, Sanhua's cooperation intention not only did not include this requirement, but also guaranteed the sales of 10,000 movie tickets.

In other words, Beijing Film Studio can expand the publicity of the film without spending a penny, and also make two profits. This is a business that is sure to make money, and it is both prestigious and profitable, so the old director naturally agreed. Shen Roujiao won the contract without any effort.

The rest of the work was left to Xie Yunli and Zhang Qingjie, and of course Gu Changgeng. Sanhua only needed to wait for the movie schedule to be released and place advertisements according to the rhythm.

A big event was accomplished, Shen Roujiao and Zhou Huaiyue finally had time to return to Yunnan. Seeing the factory managers come back, all the factory employees were happy. The pharmaceutical factory was profitable, the income was high, and everyone worked hard.

Lingxi brought the little blind man to the factory director's office and handed over the letter from Taoist Qingxu to Huaiyue.

After reading the mysterious letter, Zhou Huaiyue rushed to Changshou Temple alone the next day to meet the Taoist priest.

Shen Roujiao was arranging work at the pharmaceutical factory. For the upcoming Baise Pharmaceutical Fair, Qin Zilin planned to use the simplest and crudest method. Three televisions were placed in the exhibition hall to play Sanhua Pharmaceutical's Spring Festival Gala advertisements in a loop, and flyers with the picture of the beautiful Wang Li were distributed.

He also discussed with Shen Roujiao that for areas that are not currently covered by Sanhua Weitai, 70% of the payment can be made to stock the goods, and the remaining 30% can be settled in the form of bonuses based on sales volume.

On the one hand, the minimum order quantity of drugs was increased in disguise, and on the other hand, the transferred expenses were used to stimulate sales, quickly occupy the market, and lay the foundation for the next step of film marketing. Overall, the marketing strength was the same as last year's pharmaceutical trade fair.

As for Director Jiang, since his second brother had discussed this with Shen Roujiao in advance, after the two families finished their meal together, he called Shen Roujiao aside to hear her opinion.

"Uncle Jiang, business is business and feelings are feelings. Let's talk about business. Director Jiang has this idea, and we can talk about it." With these words, he made his position clear between public and private.

"I think your sister-in-law will have to take care of the children and the factory in the future, so it would be better for her to do business with you. You are better than any of us, so we will do whatever you say." Faced with Shen Roujiao's strength, Director Jiang could only play the emotional card.

"Uncle Jiang, I am speaking from the perspective of Sanhua Pharmaceuticals. If I say something inappropriate, please don't blame me. When doing business in partnership, the most important thing is who contributes how much and who gets how much money. Distribution is the most important. Whether it is brothers or relatives and friends, fairness is important. You get how much you contribute. Sanhua Pharmaceuticals belongs to Huaiyue and me, and we cannot touch a cent of this pharmaceutical factory. At present, the pharmaceutical factory is not short of money."

Factory Director Jiang's heart skipped a beat. Shen Roujiao's words hinted that Sanhua Pharmaceutical Factory had no chance of winning with their strength. He blushed with embarrassment and almost left the room, unable to respond for a long time.

"Well, Uncle Jiang, add up all the resources you have, including the factory, prescriptions, production lines, employees, etc., and make an estimate of the price. Then, we can talk about it." Shen Roujiao actually had an idea in her mind. Her second and third brothers had been busy in the factory, and they had been paid a lot, but it was still much less than the total income of the pharmaceutical factory.

In addition, when Shen Roujiao was worried about money because she couldn't get a loan when the factory was first built, it was the elders and villagers of Hedong Village who pooled together 10,000 yuan and asked the village chief to give it to her. Although the money was not used because Zhou Huaiyue killed himself halfway, Shen Roujiao appreciated the kindness.

She had promised the villagers of Hedong Village that every household would have a good life with a house and a car, but just digging medicinal herbs was far from enough.

She has kept all the things in her mind, but the time has not come yet.

From then on, Director Jiang evaluated the assets every year until three years later, when Shen Roujiao registered a new company. Sanhua Pharmaceutical Factory invested 60%, Director Jiang invested 30%, the villagers of Hedong Village invested 5%, the eldest brother Shen Tianhua accounted for 1%, the second brother Shen Tiancheng accounted for 1%, the third brother Shen Tiannan accounted for 1%, Shen Rushan accounted for 1%, and Qin Zilin accounted for 1%. This company was mainly responsible for the research and development of new drugs, the first of which was Director Jiang's Xiaoyao Pills.

…

When we got the news that Sister Ruyu was staying in Beijing to work on her own, the Baise Pharmaceutical Fair was held as scheduled.

Thanks to the advertising effect of CCTV, Sanhua Pharmaceutical, which is on the list, has become the largest seller of stomach medicine at the Pharmaceutical Fair.

Ji Mingyuan of Guoyi Pharmaceutical was full of admiration for Shen Roujiao's series of operations, and he also favored Qin Zilin who followed her. Thanks to him, even though the black-framed glasses of Meng Pharmaceutical Factory recognized Qin Zilin and tried to make trouble many times, he failed in the end.

When all the orders from the pharmaceutical fair were sent back to Yunnan, the construction of the second phase of the factory was imminent. The first production line was operating at overload and the second production line was about to be put into operation.

The three returned to Yunnan and took care of the production work of the pharmaceutical factory. It was already mid-August. "The Shepherd" was scheduled to be released during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was the end of September. There were two premieres and advertising in Beijing and Shanghai. A lot of work needed to be done.

The five members of the marketing team, Shen Roujiao, Zhou Huaiyue, Qin Zilin and two assistants who are serving in the army, went to Beijing to start a new round of marketing promotion work.

However, man proposes, God disposes. When the train carrying the five people arrived in Jiangxi, it was forced to stay in Guangchang County due to a railway landslide ahead.

But they didn't expect that they would encounter the "Two Kings of Northeast" again here.
