Chapter 215: Is This Melon Ripe? (10,002 updates, please subscribe)
Jiangcheng has cooled down in November.
In two days, he will start filming "The Richest Man in Xihong City", and while he can still be lazy, he won't even go to the company.
He has a clear position on himself, which is a personal stamp.
That night, he ordered a few dishes from the restaurant downstairs, got a can of beer, turned on the TV, and jumped to CCTV 7, which happened to be broadcasting a very classic passage in "Conquest".
Liu Huaqiang rode a motorcycle to the fruit stand.
With a fierce look on his face, he got out of the car and said to the two melon sellers: "Dude, how much is your melon?"
"Eight dollars a pound. ”
The melon seller has a face full of meat, and he doesn't look like a good person.
He smiled, smiled very uninhibitedly, very domineering, and said, ", is this melon skin made of gold, or is the melon particle made of gold?"
The melon seller is not a good person, otherwise Liu Huaqiang could find him?
The main reason is that these two melon sellers bullied Liu Huaqiang's wife, so Liu Huaqiang came to find the field.
The melon seller spat out his cigarette, looked at Liu Huaqiang with a fierce face, and said, "Look at where there are melons here? These are all melons in the greenhouse." You're too expensive, I'm too expensive. ”
Liu Huaqiang didn't want to sell melons, but wanted to find fault by selling melons.
He said, "Okay, pick one for me." ”
"Okay. The melon seller glanced at him, although he felt that this person was not a good person, but he was not stunned.
The melon seller picked a melon, pretended to pat the watermelon, and asked, "How about this?"
So, Liu Huaqiang said something that he couldn't forget in his life.
He propped up the melon seller's shelf with both hands and asked, "Is this melon ripe?"
The melon seller was stunned for a moment, and then said with a little anger: "I open a fruit stall, can I sell you raw melons and eggs?"
"Let me ask you, is this melon wrapped?" Liu Huaqiang's tone was already very unkind, and he said word by word.
The melon dealer suddenly looked up at him, and said, "You deliberately found fault, didn't you?" ”
Liu Huaqiang laughed, and those who were familiar with him knew that when he started laughing like this, it meant that he was already very angry.
"If your melon is ripe, I must. Liu Huaqiang said with a smile, walked to the side of the melon seller, pointed to the watermelon and said, "Then what if he is not ripe, what will he say?"
"If it's not ripe, I'll eat it myself, and I'll be satisfied?" said the melon seller.
But having said that, when the melon scales are ready, it's not your time to decide.
This is their usual routine.
Liu Huaqiang sat on the melon seller's pony and nodded.
He is a dignified boss-level figure, and he has a few bloody cases on his body, so will he care about a vegetable tyrant in a vegetable market?
"15 pounds. "The melon dealer weighs the melon and says.
Liu Huaqiang's face slowly changed, and his fierce appearance was gradually revealed.
He said, "How can you have enough for fifteen pounds? ”
Now the melon dealer was not happy, and said viciously: "You are deliberately looking for fault, don't you?
The melon dealer brought the melon directly to him, looking like you have to ask for it, and you have to ask for it if you don't want it.
"Do you want it?"
Liu Huaqiang was unmoved, picked up the scale of the melon seller, and as soon as the tray was opened, there was a magnet underneath.
Liu Huaqiang said: "Magnet, in addition, as you said, if this melon is raw, you can swallow it yourself." ”
As he spoke, ignoring the melon seller's somewhat embarrassed expression, he picked up the watermelon knife in front of him and slashed it down.
"You're smashing my melon!"
Melon dealers are used to running rampant in this area, how can they stand this anger?
shouted, and was about to rush up to fight Liu Huaqiang.
However, this melon dealer has provoked the wrong person.
Liu Huaqiang pressed his neck, and the watermelon knife stabbed directly into it.
"Murder!"
Another accomplice rushed out and wanted to help.
However, Liu Huaqiang held the knife straight and pointed at the person, and the fierce look on his face told everyone, I am not a good person, you dare to come, believe it or not, I dare to hack you to death?
In an instant, that momentum was suddenly released, directly terrifying the accomplices of the melon dealer.
Not only frightened the accomplices of the melon dealers, but also frightened the audience.
Damn, who knew that this stupid and cute guy who usually looks stupid and cute on "Chicken Strips" is so fierce?
You said that he used to be a mixed society, and everyone believed him if he cut people.
Intimidating everyone, he threw the knife directly, turned around and left with a disdainful face, simply and neatly.
……
"This guy's acting skills are really good. Wang Xiaobai nodded secretly and praised.
"Conquest" started this week.
CCTV's golden segment really can't be ignored, even if it's just one of seven sets.
As soon as it was broadcast, the first two episodes of "Conquest" had a rating of 1.2%, which was higher than CCTV's passing line, which was excellent.
As the plot continued to be broadcast, CCTV itself also spent a lot of effort to publicize, and the ratings rose rapidly.
Today, "Conquest" has only aired nine episodes, and the ratings have soared to 1.87%, and it is only a matter of time before it breaks 2. But the only regret is that "Conquest" is fast-paced, with only 20 episodes, which is not enough to broadcast at all.
The soaring ratings of "Conquest" made the deputy director very happy, and he was also full of motivation to compete for "Wulin Gaiden".
However, because there are as many as 80 episodes of "Wulin Gaiden", even if each episode is only 1 million, it is difficult to eat it on a single satellite TV.
In the end, it is likely that a number of people will act together to win the first round of broadcast rights of "Wulin Gaiden".
Wang Xiaobai doesn't care about the final broadcast of several TV stations, as long as they are willing to give money, he just needs to sit and collect money.
The cost of these two dramas is not high, and it is definitely needless to say that making money is not to mention.
Wang Xiaobai fell asleep after watching two episodes of "Conquest".
……
"The Richest Man in Xihong City" is Wang Xiaobai's last job this year, and his expectation is to release it in March and April next year, if not, he will catch up with May Day.
Half a year, no matter what, it is enough to finish filming and complete post-production.
This drama still follows the old routine, jointly invested by Xingchen Dahai and Yunhai Entertainment, with a total investment of 40 million, which is a big investment in Xingchen Haihai.
Among them, Xingchen Dahai invested 15 million and Yunhai Entertainment invested 25 million, accounting for 80% and 20% of the box office respectively.
The publicity is still the responsibility of Yunhai Entertainment.
It seems that in this cooperation, Yunhai Entertainment has lost a lot.
Even if you don't count the production cost of 25 million, it will cost at least 30 million just for publicity, and maybe even 50 million.
But Yunhai Entertainment is also very helpless.
Everyone knows that Xingchen Hai is not short of money, and even the cash on his account is more than Yunhai Entertainment.
Most of the money of Yunhai Entertainment comes from the stock market, which is not the same concept as real cash flow.
Therefore, without Yunhai Entertainment, Xingchen Dahai has invested more money, but it also makes more money.
I don't know when it started, the way of playing in the entertainment industry has changed.
In the past, whoever mastered the resources was the father.
Now, whoever masters Wang Xiaobai is his father.
As for the actors of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", the male number one is Chu Tiange, which everyone knows.
For the heroine, Wang Xiaobai is a little entangled.
He tends to settle on Lu Jiayi, his former agent.
The reason for praising her is also very simple, she is the actress she worked with for the first time with herself, and she is also the first artist signed by the company, so it is reasonable to praise her.
But her salary is not low.
After filming "Those Years", Lu Jiayi's movie salary was 1.5 million to 2 million, however, now with the popularity of "Conquest", her salary as a leading actress has also increased to 3 million to 5 million.
This is good on the outside, but on the inside......
It's a cheat.
"Forget it, just use her, she dug me up in the first place. Wang Xiaobai gritted her teeth and circled her name.
"You can't be such a loser, if you want to make a movie in the future, you have to use newcomers, otherwise the cost won't go down." Wang Xiaobai said bitterly, swearing secretly.
"Knock knock. ”
At this moment, there was a knock at the door.
Chu Tiange pushed the door and came in, followed by Lu Jiayi.
"It's all here, sit down. ”
Wang Xiaobai said to the two of them.
"Tiange, how did you read the script?" Wang Xiaobai asked Chu Tiange.
Chu Tiange said confidently: "The melon is ripe, just wait for your order." ”
"Well, good. Then you get ready, and next week you're ready for the start-up ceremony. Wang Xiaobai said.
Chu Tiange's face was excited, he had been looking forward to "The Richest Man in Xihong City" for a long time, and he had rehearsed many plots in his mind.
Wang Xiaobai looked at Lu Jiayi, compared to before, Lu Jiayi was more beautiful and temperamental. However, the relationship between the two gradually became estranged.
Both of them are very touched by this.
Especially Lu Jiayi.
When I first met him, he was nothing, but who knew that as time went by, the relationship between the two changed too quickly, and she was a little uncomfortable.
For a moment, she was a little distracted.
If only the ...... had been
Alas, what's the point of talking about this now?
A flash of loneliness flashed in the depths of her eyes.
Wang Xiaobai also found out, but he didn't debunk it, and said: "Jiayi, congratulations, this is a step into the TV circle." ”
"So do I want to thank you?" said Lu Jiayi with a smile.
"Haha, that's not necessary. Wang Xiaobai said.
Then, he took out the script and said, "Jiayi, you take this script back and take a look, the heroine this time is you." ”
"Huh? Is it me?"
Lu Jiayi was a little surprised, she originally thought that the heroine of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" was none other than Ling Yan'er.
She's prettier and more likable than she is on screen.
Where are her strengths and weaknesses, Lu Jiayi is very clear.
So when Wang Xiaobai said this, she was very surprised.
"What, don't you want it?" asked Wang Xiaobai with a smile.
"How could you not want it!" Lu Jiayi directly snatched the script after she understood, and it was not so easy for anyone who wanted to snatch it again.
"Okay, then it's fine, let's go back and familiarize ourselves with the script. Wang Xiaobai said.
Then, both of them left.
