LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 38
Time came to 7 o'clock in the evening.
On the first day of the seven-day holiday.
Almost all media people and film critics were busy.
Plot analysis, makeup interpretation, character analysis... like doing research, carefully interpreting"Titanic" from various perspectives.
At the same time, everyone was still waiting for Maoyan Movie to release the first-day box office data at 9 o'clock in the evening.
And Chen Xiao, the source of all this, slept leisurely at home for a day.
In the evening, Chen Xiao received a call from Wang Zhan, saying that he wanted to invite him to dinner, and there was another big shot to be there.
He said goodbye to Zhou Gong and packed up to go out.
Chen Xiao sat in the special car sent by Wang Zhan, hung up the phone, and yawned.
The call was from Uncle Zhang, saying that the company wanted to increase his diamond share and give him shares as a reward.
This is a good thing, of course he readily agreed.
Chen Xiao put down his mobile phone and looked out the window boredly.
The driver said that it would take another half an hour to get to the restaurant.
I'm free anyway, so I'll think about the promotional video for the drama.
Chen Xiao propped up his chin, looked out the window, and fell into deep thought.
He now has the ability to direct, compose music, and perform. He can also exchange scripts from the system.
But to shoot"Farewell My Concubine", or to shoot a drama promotional short film, he still needs drama knowledge and even the ability to sing.
He will meet with Director Li after the National Day.
It's too late to cram at the last minute, so he can only rely on the system temporarily.
Chen Xiao opened the mall
【Emotional value balance: 5.02 million]
Before, when the filming of the movie just started, he saved up more than a month to save more than 2 million. Almost all of it was used to exchange for the ability to compose music.
After more than a month, he saved up 1.8 million.
From the release last night to today, it has increased by 3.22 million in one day.
Chen Xiao smiled with satisfaction.
The speed is not bad, it is estimated that it will increase rapidly in the next two days.
He clicked on the ability page.
After searching for a few minutes, he turned to an ability
【Opera Masterpiece】
【[Price: 2.4 million emotion points]
This is the same price as Dacheng's composition, which is okay.
However, he still needs to exchange for a film and television work exchange voucher.
This thing is precious!
One voucher costs 5 million emotion points.
The two together cost 7.4 million, and there is still a shortfall of more than 2 million.
I guess it will be enough tonight.
At 9 o'clock tonight, Maoyan Movie will release the box office data of the first day of National Day.
The Internet is hyping up"Titanic", and the theater chain has increased the screening rate to 30%. The first day box office is bound to explode.
Conservatively estimated, it is 1 billion...
According to last year's data, 1 billion is equivalent to the box office of the box office champion of last year's National Day for seven days.
Conservatively estimated, one day is equivalent to seven days.
Hiss- tonight, once the box office comes out, it will definitely cause heated discussion.
He can harvest a wave of emotion points.
If it is not enough to exchange, wait until tomorrow to exchange.
After the exchange, if the Ministry of Culture doesn't like it, then he will shoot it himself! Anyway, next month, there will be 80 or 90 million in the card.
Oh, how can I relieve my worries? The only way is to get rich!
One thing can conquer another, and money can conquer everything!
……
At the same time.
In the capital, in a courtyard adjacent to the Lama Temple, there is a high-end Michelin restaurant.
In the private room of the restaurant.
Two middle-aged men sat on both sides of the round table chatting and laughing.
One was Wang Zhan.
The other was Li Zhiming, Director of the Art Department of the Ministry of Culture.
Li Zhiming held the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and chuckled:"Participating in Cannes? Your courage is commendable. However, it is almost impossible to win an award."
Wang Zhan nodded and agreed:"This film conforms to our aesthetics, but it may not conform to the aesthetics of other countries."
Li Zhiming:"Well, the cultural background and narrative style are also different. It is very difficult. And he applied for the main competition unit. He has to compete with world-renowned directors on the same stage. For newcomers, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky."
He put down the teacup, smiled and continued:"However, it's better to try your luck. If he really wins the award, it will not only bring glory to the country, but also be of great benefit to him personally."
Wang Zhan asked:"What do you mean?"
"Cooperation in film and television is a piece of cake. Some organizations will also ask him to put his name on the list. For example, Huaqing Film Academy issued an announcement in the early years that if a Chinese won an award in the main competition unit of Cannes, he could be hired as an honorary professor."
Wang Zhan's breath stagnated.
Honorary professor?
How old is Chen Xiao?
It's exciting to be an honorary professor at the age of 23.
The students are younger than him, right?
Wait, what am I thinking about?
Why am I daydreaming like Chen Xiao?
I was really infected by that brat.
Wang Zhan came back to his senses and said with a smile:"Honorary professor, according to his talent, he should be able to do it in a few decades or even more than ten years."
Li Zhiming smiled,"This"Titanic" is enough for him to gain a foothold in the film and television industry. The first day box office will be released tonight, right?"
"Well, nine o'clock"
""Okay, I'm looking forward to it too." Li Zhiming said with a smile.
Just as the two were chatting happily, the protagonist they were talking about had followed the receptionist along the green alley to the door of the box.
After knocking on the door, Chen Xiao walked into the room.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mr. Wang and a slightly fat middle-aged man, drinking tea and looking at him.
"Good evening, Mr. Wang and Director Li.
Li Zhiming laughed,"Director Chen has good taste. Please sit down."
"Thank you, Director Li."
Chen Xiao chuckled.
It's not that he has good taste, he just looked up his photos on the Internet.
He walked to the table and sat down at the position pointed by Director Li.
Li Zhiming leaned against the back of the chair, crossed his fingers and placed them on the table,"Director Chen, don't be restrained. Today, just treat it as a friend, or a chat with colleagues in the literary and art circles."
Wang Zhan smiled and joked,"Xiao Chen is now a director of Jiahe, how can Director Chen be restrained?"
After saying that, he smiled and glanced at Chen Xiao.
He said this, not to mock Chen Xiao.
Although this brat is a little arrogant, after all, he is the nephew of an old friend, and he is indeed talented. How could he���Make him suffer?
The reason for saying this is that Chen Xiao is too young.
When he works with people in the agency in the future, he will easily be treated as a subordinate.
Even though Li Zhiming knows that Chen Xiao is an excellent director, it is inevitable that he will treat Chen Xiao as a subordinate because of his appearance and age.
He specifically mentioned this sentence just to remind Chen Xiao of his identity.
Strengthen the impression in Li Zhiming's mind.
This is a director and a screenwriter, not your subordinate or intern.
Sure enough, when these words came out, Li Zhiming listened to them and looked at Chen Xiao with a smile.
"Oh? Director? Director Chen is really young and promising."
""Thank you, seniors. It's all the leaders' care." Chen Xiao said politely.
The three of them exchanged a few more polite words, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed.
After five minutes, the ordered dishes were served one after another.
When the dishes were served, it was time to talk about business.
