Chapter 602: Target Ratings Break 10
"I'm here. Brother He, I'm busy now. I'll call you later and we can have dinner together."
Zhou Anan responded and tried her best to hide her sympathetic look. She didn't know how to comfort the despised He Erdai, and quickly ran to the driver's seat.
Looking at the car driving away, He Wuqiu was stunned for a moment, then he immediately picked up his phone and dialed a number: "Hello, Assistant Zhang, please order me a few boxes of the most expensive imported fruits and snacks immediately and have them delivered to Hengcheng tonight. I don't care what method you use. Also, don't remove the logo on the box."
"Young lady, how many days has Mr. He been here?"
Zhou Anan asked curiously while driving to the other parking lot.
"He came yesterday or the night before yesterday. I forgot."
“.”
After another two minutes of silence for Brother He, Zhou Anan parked her car behind an RV and moved all the fruits and snacks over there with the female assistant and the driver.
"Xiao Xi, after you take it back, put this little watermelon and orange in the refrigerator for me."
"OK."
After the RV drove away, Zhou Anan took Miss Wang towards the restaurant.
It has to be said that the wealthy second generation of the He family can find high-end dining places wherever they go.
On the edge of a busy city, in front of a private restaurant with a very Republican-style exterior, there is a row of luxury cars worth over one million yuan parked.
Without going in, Zhou Anan knew that the prices of this private restaurant were not cheap.
"Brother An, I don't know what you like to eat. Apart from the braised crucian carp and crayfish that Xiaoxiao likes, I didn't order any dishes in advance. Don't be polite and order whatever you want later."
When walking into the private restaurant, He Wuqiu regarded himself as half a landlord and explained with a smile, with thought-provoking meaning between the lines.
He never concealed his target, it was always Wang Xiaoxiao.
Although the 'future father-in-law' is about to be promoted to the leader of Jiang Province, the He family can also develop towards Hangzhou, which will break the long-standing limitations of the family business.
"Brother He, you're too polite. I'll just eat whatever I want."
Facing this advanced bootlicker, Zhou Anan was quite impressed.
With this kind of psychological quality, you have no choice but to accept it.
If it were him, he would have left in shame and changed his target.
"Brother An, eating is something that needs to be done with some care. Let me tell you."
Perhaps because he did not have enough topics to talk about with Miss Wang, Zhou Anan discovered that He Erdai chatted with him quite frequently and asked for his opinion on any topic.
He had no objection, as long as he didn't have to pay for the meal.
"Hey, Qiuqiu, didn't you say you were going to visit the set of The Martian? Why haven't you left yet?"
While eating, Wang Xiaoxiao thought of a question and curiously asked He Wuqiu, who was talking so much.
The reason he came to see her before was that he was going to visit the crew of director Li Donglai and was just passing by.
"Oh, I'll go there tomorrow. Brother An, have you been to the set of The Martian recently?"
When Wang Xiaoxiao mentioned the reason why he came here, He Wuqiu couldn't pretend that he had been there before, so he asked Zhou Anan who was standing next to him.
He invested 60 million in the project "The Martian" and he always had to visit the crew. After all, money doesn't come easily.
Leng Hairong, another person who invested 60 million yuan, had already visited the crew and discussed with him whether to increase investment in order to obtain a share of the profits from overseas copyrights.
However, his most important goal now is to capture Miss Wang as soon as possible.
"I haven't had time to go yet. I feel relieved that Director Li Donglai is in charge and General Manager Feng is personally supervising."
Thinking of the desert area with temperatures of 50 or 60 degrees, Zhou Anan really had no intention of going there to bask in the sun.
Feng Datou's originally fair skin became several shades darker after being in the sun for a few days.
I don’t know if the appearance of several female stars in the crew will decline after this period of filming.
"Brother An, speaking of this, I have to admire you. The bet between Blue Whale and Huang's Pictures is really a big deal. If you need anything, just ask, I will definitely help if I can."
When talking about his own investment, He Wuqiu also admired the other party's courage.
If the box office of the two movies is very different, that would mean hundreds of millions in compensation. Even with the wealth of the He family, it is impossible for them to casually take out hundreds of millions in cash.
And if the movie he invested in, "The Martian," wins, well, they won't get a share of the prize.
"Brother He has confidence in our Blue Whale, and that is the greatest support."
Zhou Anan was quite wary of the kindness of this second-generation He.
Although he acts like an ordinary man licking the goddess in front of Miss Wang, his business acumen is not low at all.
Zhou Anan had heard Feng Datou mention before that the two limited investors, He Wuqiu and Leng Hairong, wanted to increase their investment to obtain more overseas copyright income.
In the previous investment agreement, He Wuqiu and Leng Hairong, who invested 60 million yuan respectively, only obtained corresponding domestic copyright income, and overseas income was less than 10%.
Given that the situation was unclear, He Wuqiu and his partner did not suffer any loss. After all, the bulk of the investment came from Blue Whale Entertainment, and there was no precedent for domestic science fiction films to obtain high returns overseas.
But if Blue Whale Entertainment can get in touch with Marvel and have the opportunity to release the film on a large scale simultaneously in North America, the overseas box office revenue will definitely not be small.
Of course, the news that Blue Whale Entertainment has become a shareholder of Marvel is still kept secret and has not been spread out, let alone known to people in China.
"Brother An, you're welcome."
After hearing what the other party said, He Wuqiu did not talk about the business matters on this occasion.
The lunch took more than half an hour, and it ended a little hastily because Miss Wang had to rush back to deal with matters of the program crew.
At least, Zhou Anan hadn't finished eating those delicious crayfish.
If he asked the waiter to pack up the remaining crayfish, it would be a bit inappropriate. After all, it was not him who paid the bill, and he would be ridiculed by that high-level bootlicker.
Forget it, I'll have some crayfish for a midnight snack when I have the chance to satisfy my craving.
"How about going to the show and playing a guest role as a player? It's fun."
On the way back to the crew, Wang Xiaoxiao, who had been quiet at the dinner table, introduced the game content filmed by the program crew today, and was very excited to invite his younger brother to play.
"No, I'm not very athletic and I have something else to do this afternoon."
Looking at the scorching hot day outside, Zhou Anan refused bluntly.
What's more, he wanted to go back to his hometown on the way.
"So you're going back?"
After asking this question, Wang Xiaoxiao felt a little disappointed for some reason.
It's so hard to have friends come over, but in the blink of an eye we have to say goodbye.
"I'm going back to Lizhou. Will I come over to treat you to a midnight snack?"
After thinking about it, Zhou Anan felt that she couldn't let down Miss Wang, who was dedicated to making money for the company.
"Okay, I'll wait."
After hearing what her younger brother said, Wang Xiaoxiao's mood suddenly brightened.
After sending Miss Wang back, Zhou Anan went to another crew in Hengcheng, where "Nirvana in Fire" directed by Wang Jing was also being filmed.
Having communicated with the crew in advance, Zhou Anan did not encounter any idol drama scenes where the crew's minions did not recognize the big boss or the director greeted everyone with shock when she entered the crew.
"How's the progress?"
Handing Wang Jing a bottle of iced black tea, Zhou Anan asked with a smile.
The male assistant at the side wanted to say that his director boss didn't like iced tea and only liked to drink freshly squeezed juice. The last time he bought a bottle of iced tea, he was scolded by the director boss.
But under the assistant's surprised eyes, his director boss took the ice tea, opened it with a smile and took a big sip, which completely overturned his impression of the stern director who didn't like drinks.
"It's OK. The initial adjustment period was a little slow, but now we have caught up with the progress and it will not be a problem to complete it on time."
With the help of two experienced assistant directors, Wang Jing, who was directing a costume drama for the first time, learned a lot. With the strong support of the company, the filming progress was not slow at all.
"Well, if the ratings of this drama exceed 10, then I will prepare a movie for you with an investment of 50 million yuan, and the other Republican TV series will be given to the assistant director to shoot."
Seeing Wang Jing full of confidence, Zhou Anan smiled and made a joke.
