Chapter 703 Group Buying and the Martial Arts Dream Since Childhood
Turtle Girl found a big restaurant in the mall and bought a large set meal through Meituan.
Compared to ordering food directly at the restaurant, ordering a set meal on a takeaway group is at least one-third cheaper.
Having money at home doesn't mean you don't save money, it just means you like to spend money on meaningless things.
For example, raising turtles.
Anyway, that short-haired heroic girl can't understand it, and An An doesn't like to raise these things.
Many of her friends like to keep dogs and cats, and their annual expenses start at hundreds of thousands.
It is understandable that girls like to keep small pets, but keeping turtles is indeed a bit too unpopular.
There are a lot of people in the shopping mall outside the school, and there are even more people during holidays.
Many of them are college students, and some are just here to shop.
An An not only asked why her mother didn't come, but also asked about the situation of other people in the family.
There was a very bad situation, that was her grandmother, who was also Chen Pingsheng's grandfather, was dying.
Chen Pingsheng will also be going back in the next few days. If it weren't for the improved conditions at home, his grandfather would have left several years ago.
This is just using money to extend life expectancy by four or five years. This is the extent of what medical care can do nowadays.
In more exaggerated cases, patients may need to go abroad or to Hong Kong for a blood or organ transplant.
Chen Pingsheng had suggested before that such an operation could not be performed without millions or even a certain amount of resources, but his grandfather was unwilling to do so.
He couldn't persuade her anymore.
Birth, aging, sickness and death. Although rich people can extend their lifespan by five to ten years or even more, it is still limited.
His grandfather's current condition has also prompted him to increase investment and research and development in the field of longevity medicine.
You have to admit, there will come a day when he cannot escape the fate of others.
In fact, when it comes to this point, who can escape it?
You get what you deserve in life, and all that’s left is birth, old age, sickness and death.
The disease is gone, but death remains. No one can escape it.
In fact, he has already invested tens of billions in this field, and together with the seven chiefs who work with him, the total investment is almost over 100 billion.
There was some effect, but not much.
Even with such a small effect, in Shuiyunjian's field of big health investment, it is a trump card project that competitors can't catch up with.
This is the absolute oppressive power of big capital on small fields.
Whether it is a health care project or the current big health, in the face of the annual R&D expenditure of more than 150 billion yuan by Tengying Group and Tengfei Group.
They are all small Karami.
Not to mention that he is also involved in a global immortality project, which is what the richest people in every country are doing.
It can only be said that the little resources he draws from this are simply incomparable to those small industries.
Although Chen Pingsheng looked ordinary, he was still warmly received by An An's roommate.
After the dinner, the others left time alone with the father and daughter.
An An talked about an idea she had recently, "Dad, I want to make a short play during college and play a martial arts girl. What do you think?"
"Well...it's up to you!"
Chen Pingsheng said, "Dad used to have some restrictions on you, but now there's really no need. Life is short, so just do whatever you like. Nothing is more important than my daughter's happiness. Just don't forget your identity and try not to use your real name."
"I understand..."
An An has had a dream of martial arts since she was a child. She wanted to be a martial arts girl or even a martial arts star.
But this kind of dream is unattainable for ordinary people.
But for her, it was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
It's not worth mentioning and even seriously lowers her status.
The reason why Chen Pingsheng did not stop it was because the four years in college were indeed the best years, and he hoped that An An could happily spend the best four years of her life.
An An watched her father leave with her own eyes. He didn't ride in a luxury car, but just rode a Butterfly brand bicycle.
The selling price is probably around four million.
When you have money, you will find that making money is really easy.
The difficult part is often the accumulation process from zero to one.
For top second-generation rich people like An An, their knowledge, vision and cognition are simply incomparable to ordinary people.
She has wanted to be a martial arts girl for a long time, but she didn't say it before because she felt she was too young.
The reason she wanted to say it now was because she knew that if she didn't say it now, she would have no chance anymore.
After graduating from university, she would either inherit the family business or work for one or two years in one of the world's most famous investment banks or institutions.
In short, she can no longer do what she likes as she pleases.
When she returned, she went to Jiang Tang to report the good news.
In their small dormitory, they even held a photo-shooting ceremony for Lady An An for her.
Then upload it to Turtle Girl’s short video.
The next morning, An An took Jiang Tang to Tengyou Live's short drama shooting base.
Their family owns the largest short drama production group in the country, also called Yateng Short Drama.
It is also the only listed company in the short drama field, and later merged with Tencent Media.
In fact, it was acquired by Tengyou.
Their family really occupies a large part of the entire entertainment industry.
From Tengying Entertainment to Yateng Short Drama, and later to Tengyou Media.
It can be said that in this small industry, more than 70% of the market share belongs to them.
This shows what kind of status An An has in the entertainment industry.
She wanted to be a martial arts girl, but didn't want to rely too much on her family's status, so Zhang Wanyi made a special arrangement for her.
In fact, An An's every move in Guangzhou was seen by her and Chu Qiuyan. It was not that they had other thoughts, but they just had to fulfill their due responsibility of care.
The main reason why we don’t shoot long dramas is because they take too long.
There is simply not enough time, so the short play will be much faster.
The original model of the short drama is very simple, that is, small investment, short, flat and fast.
Rely on super emotional rhythm to quickly gain audiences.
Just this set of things has made the current TV dramas completely confused.
But things were completely different after An An came.
Zhang Wanyi gave instructions directly from the top level for all the short plays she participated in.
It must have a top-notch team, a large investment, and the most professional actors.
Short dramas have actually made many female stars famous, such as Xu Yizhen, Li Muchen, Ma Qiuyuan, etc.
Short dramas are divided into vertical screen and horizontal screen dramas.
Horizontal screen dramas require relatively larger investments and have the same influence, but vertical screen dramas attract more audiences.
The first drama that An An filmed was "Fu Hao".
She was also the wife of King Wu Ding of the late Shang Dynasty and the first documented female military commander in Chinese history.
She led her army to fight many times and defeated more than 20 small countries including the Northern Tufang, Southern Yi, and Southern Bafang, making immortal military achievements for the expansion of the Shang Dynasty.
Such a person is qualified to star in a drama with a female lead.
If we move to shoot a short drama, we won’t be able to capture that scene if the investment is small.
If the investment is large, according to the short drama's payback model, the loss will be so great that even the mother won't be able to recognize it.
And then...the entire short drama industry was shocked.
The short play "Fuhao" announced an investment of over 100 million yuan, setting a historical record for investment in the short play field.
Not only that, it also invited the most famous long-form drama director to shoot, and paired it with countless well-known female supporting roles.
Even the TV drama queen Zhao Liying came.
In the field of short dramas, this is truly a purple golden hammer that will cause the sky to fall and the earth to collapse.
Anyone who has a place in the field of long dramas will never lower their status to shoot short dramas.
And now, not only has a top director come, but also countless well-known actors.
Even the queen of the drama industry, Zhao Liying, came.
When she was five years old, little An An said that she wanted to be a peerless martial artist when she grew up.
With her status, no matter how unreliable her ideals are, there will always be a large group of people to help her achieve them.
In late September, Chen Pingsheng's grandfather passed away.
Chen Pingsheng took a private plane from Shanghai directly to his rural hometown, and An An also took a helicopter from Guangzhou back to Shacheng.
All their relatives, no matter where they are, have now returned.
My grandfather’s passing was a happy funeral, but also a separation from life, old age, sickness and death.
The funeral banquet at home was grand, and the whole village came to see him off. Chen Pingsheng carried the coffin himself.
Time flies, he still remembers the days when he used to drink with his grandfather in Shanghai.
Now grandpa is gone and grandma left long ago.
The banquet in the countryside took three days, and no matter how grand the banquet was, it could not cover up the sad mood.
It was not until the end of September that Chen Pingsheng returned to Shanghai.
An An went to Guangzhou again. The university courses were still very easy. An An had a martial arts dream since he was a child.
It is now being realized step by step.
Chen Pingsheng had just finished a phone call with Zhang Wanyi. After learning some information about An An's situation, he didn't say much.
Compared to An An, the friendless Erpi Ya obviously gave him more headaches.
Erpi Ya has no idea about this. She has always firmly believed that she is the cutest one in the family.
It's obvious that he grew up eating cuteness.
Erpi Ya had no image of a second princess at all. She crossed her legs and shivered as she said, "Dad, why did I hear that I was going to be a martial arts girl?"
"Why, you want to be a female warrior too? Do you have her skills?"
"This... is indeed a little off."
"You mean almost? You can't even move."
"Dad, we don't talk like this."
Erpi Ya is in junior high school and still hasn't lost weight. Chen Pingsheng seriously doubts that she will always be so chubby.
"I gained weight on my own, so why should I lose weight? Besides, my sister used to be fatter than me, but she slimmed down once she started high school."
"You may have misunderstood. She was thin in junior high school, and you were three times fatter in junior high school."
With a few snorts... Erpi Ya said unhappily that he wanted to lose weight, and then bought a lot of top-notch fitness equipment online for his home.
It seems that she can lose weight by putting these things.
In the end, I only look at it after buying it, no one else can do that.
Two days later, Erpi Ya found that she still hadn't lost weight, so she went to ask the employees again.
How to lose weight? The answer is to eat less and exercise more.
She found that she couldn't do any of them. If she could lose weight by eating more and exercising less, she would definitely be the slimmest one.
The reverse is not so true.
Before we knew it, the second girl was already 12 years old.
The one who is completely different from her is probably the mistress Chen Lu, who has a lot of fun playing games.
No matter who calls him, it doesn't work.
"Pingsheng, did An An tell you that she wouldn't be back for National Day?"
"Yes, he said he would stay in Guangzhou to film."
"Alas... She has really grown up. She doesn't even come back for National Day. If she suddenly brings a boyfriend back next time, she might give us a scare."
Song Yanxi said with some worry.
"Don't worry, An An isn't that stupid. Whenever she brings a boyfriend home, it's definitely someone she has chosen."
"I hope so!"
The couple began to worry about their daughter's love story again.
There is really a hurdle at every age. I used to worry that she would not do well in the senior high school entrance exam, and after college, I worried that she would be cheated by others.
I really don’t know when I can stop worrying completely.
"We as parents need to relax too. There's really no need to worry about this or that."
Chen Pingsheng said: "After a while, I will go to Guangzhou to live for a while."
"What are you doing there?"
"Of course I'm here to accompany my daughter and see how she's doing with the filming. I'm also going to be an extra there."
"Come on, you're already so old and you're still acting as an extra. You really have nothing better to do, right?"
"That's not the case. It's just that once An An graduates from university, you won't even be eligible to be her extra."
Chen Pingsheng still has his own ideas. He just wants to participate in every step of his daughter's growth.
Four years of college sounds like a long time, but at their age, it’s just a blink of an eye.
Song Yanxi thought about it and decided to take some time to go to Guangzhou.
Chen Pingsheng still didn't have time during the National Day, so he went to Guangzhou after the National Day.
An An has been filming here, and with her are Jiang Tang and two roommates from college.
The advantage of a large investment is that the scenes can be grand. When fighting a battle, there won’t be just seven or eight extras firing blanks here and there.
Instead, it takes hundreds or even thousands of extras to create a war effect.
Chen Pingsheng went to find his daughter, and Zhang Wanyi came to see him again.
"Uncle Chen...you didn't even tell me you were coming to Guangzhou."
"I'm just here to see my daughter. It's not work. I don't want to bother you!"
"That's not trouble."
Zhang Wanyi said, "Uncle Chen, I haven't worked with you for a long time. You must come to my place when you come to Guangzhou."
"Forget it, don't tell anyone about my visit. I just want to spend some time alone with my daughter. By the way, how is filming going for her role?"
"Very good, An An's skills are pretty good, and she has a solid foundation in action movies. There are very few people in the industry who can compare with her at this age."
"Okay... An An has had a dream of becoming a martial artist since he was a child, but it wasn't until college that he started to realize it. It can be said that he has been waiting for many years."
Seriously speaking, Zhang Wanyi has watched An An grow up, and it has been many years.
All the way from An An Primary School to junior high school, then high school, and now college.
Once she realizes her childhood dream of becoming a martial arts hero, she will probably leave the entertainment industry.
But this process may take one year, or two or three years.
In short, it will be before college.
