Chapter 71 The Appearance of the DramaThe next day, Chen An found a place and signed a contract with Li Xiaoping. Recruit the other party into the company. Then I officially sent him to find an address for the new company, which was my first task as an operations manager. As for the boss, of course he has nothing to do, otherwise what is the point of being a boss. If I work from nine to five every day just to make money, wouldn’t it be a waste of time for me to be a boss? Movies in Hong Kong and Taiwan have been taken off the screen, and the final box office revenue didn’t increase much. Hong Kong Island earned more than 35 million, but still ranked behind "Who Am I". Taiwan's box office revenue reached 007 million, surpassing "Tomorrow Never Dies" and ranking behind "Armageddon". Ranked second on the annual box office list. In addition to the mainland and other places, the very popular South Korea film has also been released, with million viewers.
It’s not as good as the original version’s million, but it’s an unrepeatable miracle for a Chinese-language film! Converted into US dollars, it is just over 30 million, which is basically the most popular market, more than in China. Naturally, the news of this huge success in South Korea could not be kept secret and was announced long ago to stimulate the box office. But by this time, the passion for watching movies has basically been exhausted. The film has been delayed for two weeks and the box office has barely reached over 130 million, and it is no longer possible to continue to grow significantly. The film shooting rate has also slowed down to make way for other films. The daily box office has officially dropped below one million, and is only a few hundred thousand per day. It is predicted that the box office for the next movie will hardly reach 150 million, not even half of that of "Titanic". The reason why it continues to hang there is just to increase the box office of the movie and make it look better. But Chen An doesn't care about these things anymore. The success of the movie is beyond doubt. He is already one of the top directors in China, whether in the mainland, Hong Kong or Taiwan! This time it almost swept across Asia, or East Asia, with almost no rivals, and was a huge success in all markets. He gained a lot of fame in his hometown and South Korea with "Little Forest" and "My Sassy Girl". She is the center of attention among all the female stars. One drama makes her famous and the star can be exported abroad. Even though many investors from Hong Kong and Taiwan came to Chen An to complain, Chen An ignored them. The Chinese Film Directors Association also invited Chen An to take up a position. However, Chen An postponed the invitation due to age issues. First, I don’t want to get involved in this mess, and second, I am indeed too young. There are all veteran filmmakers in there, and the youngest ones are from the generation of Chen An’s parents. Although their achievements are too dazzling, there is really no need for this. It doesn’t matter whether he joins or not, it has no impact on Chen An. The works are there, the achievements are there, it doesn't matter whether you acknowledge them or not.
Under Li Xiaoping's arrangement, the site selection for the new company was completed. We rented the first floor of an office building as our company address. I immediately found someone to start the renovation, so the address was no longer necessary. Under her arrangement, a number of employees were recruited to be responsible for the company's operations and publicity, and everything was handled in an orderly manner. Chen An also felt relieved, as the other party was much stronger than him. "Sister Xiaoping, I'll leave it to you after the decoration is completed. I'm going to Hollywood after the movie is finished, so the development of the company is temporarily in your hands." Chen An still wanted to be a hands-off boss. Li Xiaoping, who was dressed in a smart suit, nodded: "I understand, boss. I will be responsible for the arrangements." "Just call me Chen An. I'm just a director. I'm not as good as you in this aspect." Chen An felt guilty when the boss called him that since he didn't even do his job. Looking at Li Xiaoping who has been busy these days, Chen An feels that you are the boss. "Okay, Director Chen, in addition to the company moving in, we have also recruited a lot of employees. The two contracted artists, Zeng Li and Chen Kun, have also received a lot of invitations for commercial performances and shows. Do you want to attend some of them as normal publicity?" Li Xiaoping is full of enthusiasm for the company. I've been handling everything by myself these past few days, and I don't know how to complain about my boss. The two artists of the company are now very popular, especially Zeng Li, who is very popular all over the country. But it has been idle all the time and has not generated any revenue. Is there any boss like this? Chen An rubbed his head when he heard the other party's question: "I know this, but they are still students. I think they should learn more. But now you should make the arrangements. Just don't affect their studies too much." "Acting skills are their bread and butter. Both of them are pretty good, but they're not at the level of being gifted by God." Chen An is like this. He thinks a lot, but forgets to be aware of himself as a boss. How did you get hung on the streetlight like this? "Okay then, I'll inform their agent then, but will the company continue to recruit artists?" The two talked about the general direction of the company's development. With the great director Chen An around, the company's appeal to artists and actors is self-evident. And now that they have sufficient funds, they have made a lot of money from previous movies, and this movie has become a hit throughout East Asia, with revenue soaring. There is sufficient production cost and investment amount. "Yes, but not on a large scale. We will accept those with special qualities or good acting skills, and directors will also accept them." Contracted artist Chen An will definitely continue to sign contracts. Although we don't need too many, we must always have some of our own people, and the resources are sufficient for the time being. And the director is even more needed. After all, when the company becomes big, it will be impossible to rely on Chen An alone to make movies. That would be exhausting, and the company would have been run in vain. An excellent director is a scarce commodity that is urgently needed in the mainland, and in today's era, commercial film directors are the best among them. This made Chen An want to poach Feng Xiaogang, but unfortunately it was not very likely. You can only look for it slowly. Currently, most directors on the market have people behind them, including Chen An. Li Xiaoping also wrote it down and left without saying much. She had a lot of things to do and her boss Chen An was a hands-off person. Chen An felt embarrassed seeing the other party busy in a hurry, so he left without seeing anything.
He couldn't bear to see others suffer, so he decided not to watch it. When I was walking down the street buying a pack of cigarettes, I could hear the music of "Ah~Ah~Ah~Ah~Ah" ringing out in the streets and alleys. The singing gave Chen An a headache. In October, when "My Sassy Girl" was released, my hometown TV station broadcast the nationally popular "My Fair Princess" on the 28th. This dragging, noisy TV series became popular all over the country as soon as it was aired. In terms of national fame, it is higher than Chen An's movies. Zhao Zhetian, whose name was omitted in the Baidu Encyclopedia of "My Fair Princess", became popular in an instant. She is more famous than Zeng Li among middle-aged and elderly people. Xiaoyanzi became known to everyone, and even Chen An's mother called to ask Chen An if he recognized her. After this, there has been no better TV series than this one, except "My Fair Princess 2". The only one who can defeat it is itself. However, Chen An has already watched it several times and has no intention of watching it again in this life. Moreover, he didn't like watching it even in his previous life. If he could have snatched the remote control away from her, would he have watched this thing? When I was a kid, what I loved to watch most was the guerrilla leader who tore the Japanese apart with his bare hands and rode a bicycle over a train. That was what I really loved to watch. In the end, I didn't regret it even after I crashed my bike and was hung up and beaten. But this did not affect the popularity of the TV series. The noise from the streets and alleys gave Chen An a headache: "Boss, give me a Furongwang. Are you still watching TV series while doing business?" The music was loud and the owner of the store was concentrating on watching TV and didn't hear what Chen An said. When Chen An knocked on the table, the boss finally responded: "Excuse me, I'm so engrossed in watching a TV show, what do you want?" "Give me a Furong King. Boss, is this TV series really that good?" Chen An asked knowingly. The boss took out a cigarette from the house and handed it to Chen An: "Of course, our whole family loves to watch it. This emperor is really a piece of shit. Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi are so pitiful." The way he spoke made him so angry that he almost wanted to drag Zhang Tieling out and beat him up. Chen An looked at this and said nothing more. This drama is a drama, and it has fascinated these arrogant Beijing natives. Please support me! ! !
