Chapter 8: The Celebration Banquet

After a two-month screening, "Infernal Affairs" officially rolled off the production line on the 22nd.

However, "Infernal Affairs" has achieved such a huge success, what makes the media curious is that the movies have been offline so far, and even the celebration banquet has not been held.

In fact, as early as when the movie broke 100 million, Chen Daqi wanted to hold a celebration banquet, but Chen Yongren was busy with other things at the time, and went to other places, saying that he would do it in a few days. As a result, watching the box office of the movie rise steadily, I said to see if I could break 500 million, break 500 million and make a big one, and then... I waited until it was almost offline to start preparing for this celebration banquet. However, because Chen Yongren, the main coffee, went abroad a few days ago and did not come back until March 24, the celebration banquet was postponed for a few days and scheduled to be held on March 25.

The time came on March 25th, and at this time, a five-star hotel in Beijing was holding a celebration banquet of "Infernal Affairs", and many guests and media reporters were invited to the celebration banquet.

The atmosphere is very active, even the toasting link, several bigwigs are also acting casually, otherwise the atmosphere is too serious, so that the people present have scruples to play, it is a bit bad, after all, it is now the happy moment of the celebration banquet, and the atmosphere is of course the more relaxed the better.

It was Chen Yongren's turn to take the stage, looking at the people below, Chen Yongren felt relieved, this time it was finally not propaganda...

"First of all, thank you very much for coming to the celebration banquet of "Infernal Affairs", in fact, I am a little dreamy until now, although I am very confident in the movie, but the box office of the movie in the end is still a little beyond my expectations, indicating that my goal is still very small" As soon as I heard the small goal, everyone laughed at the bottom, who doesn't know how popular Chen Yongren's small goal is, and it has also led to many directors' new film press conferences, and the media have what the small goal is, etc., Chen Yongren is also popular now.

"On behalf of all the staff of the crew, I would like to thank you again for your support, and I am inseparable from the support of Chairman Chen Daqi of Beijing Film and Television Production Co., Ltd., the strong support of Mr. Wang of Light and Mr. Li of Wanda, the busy struggle of every staff day and night, and the success of every outstanding actor in shaping these roles. There are many people to thank for today's achievements in the movie, but the most important thing to thank is my food, clothing, parents, audience and friends, without their support, there would be no birth of one record after another at the box office, and finally everyone eats and drinks well tonight, so that we don't get drunk and don't return" After Chen Yongren finished speaking, there was thunderous applause at the bottom, and every staff and actor involved in the production of this film was extremely self-conscious.

Later, after answering some reporters' questions, Chen Yongren went down to eat.

The atmosphere of the whole scene was lively, and there were toasts everywhere, but the focus of the audience was undoubtedly Chen Yongren who was sitting at the main table with several bigwigs, after all, such a young, handsome and talented director liked it as a woman, and the actor hoped to cooperate with Chen Yongren, but seeing Chen Yongren talking to several bigwigs, they didn't dare to go up to toast, after all, no matter how big the coffee position was, it was not enough to see a paper tiger in front of the capital.

I only heard Chen Daqi say to Chen Yongren, "Yongren, you are red and purple now, and the eyes of those female stars around you are afraid that they can't wait to eat you"

Hahaha, several bigwigs at the same table laughed, and Chen Yongren replied helplessly, "Uncle Chen, don't make fun of me"

Wang Changtian of the light said, "Yongren is a hot director now, who doesn't want to climb up to him, a rich man, Yongren, do you have any new film plans recently" A Infernal Affairs made several companies make a lot of money, and now all companies regard Chen Yongren as the God of Wealth.

Chen Yongren thought for a while and said, "Mr. Wang laughed, but he has some ideas during this time, and it is estimated that he will write the script in a few days, and it won't be long before filming starts."

As soon as Chen Daqi heard it, "Yongren, your efficiency is fast enough, just a few days after the movie came offline, I thought about starting to shoot a new film, what type of film is it?

"Specifically, I will talk to a few people in detail, and I plan to set up the studio's brand in the next two days" Although Chen Yongren and Chen Daqi collaborated on the first movie, they have not signed any company, and he didn't expect the first film to bring so much income, so he wanted to open a film production studio first, as for the company, there is no idea to open the studio first, and then slowly change to a company when the time is ripe.

"This action is fast enough, Yongren, I still want to sign you into my company, it seems that there is no hope," Wang Changtian said.

Chen Daqi said to Wang Changtian, "If Yongren can sign it, we Beijing Film and Television have signed it early, how can we wait for now, but Yongren, when will you get a studio, and I won't say anything to your Uncle Chen."

"Uncle Chen, the studio was actually prepared some time ago, and I was too busy to tell you. The money was still borrowed from Huizi some time ago to register, and now it should be almost everything but owes to the opening" Although Chen Daqi is very big and gives Chen Yongren a little more money, Chen Yongren is also a person with a net worth of more than 100 million, but the money is only now coming one after another, and the studio began to prepare as early as a week after the release of Infernal Affairs, and at that time it was looking for Huizi to borrow 10 million to register the studio. In fact, Chen Yongren of Huizi's family also learned something through Chen Daqi, their family assets are as high as more than 100 billion, and Huizi's monthly living expenses are 15 million, which can be said to be an out-and-out rich second generation, so Chen Yongren also asked him very unceremoniously to borrow money, this kid is now running abroad, so during this time, Chen Yongren contacted Huizi by phone.

Chen Yongren went on to say, "Although I can't become an artist under the company, I can still become your partner, and I have to rely on a few CEOs to take care of me after the studio is small" Although Chen Yongren knows the future development trajectory, he understands that eating alone can not live long and die sooner or later, so it is still necessary to find a few allies.

"Yongren, the studio needs help talking to me, and I hope the two of us can continue to work together in the future," Wanda's Li Xin told Chen.

Chen Yongren replied, "Thank you Mr. Li for your kindness, but the work has almost been prepared, and it will be open in two days."

It didn't take long for several bigwigs to leave the scene one after another, and Chen Yongren also became the object of toasting, one after another came up to talk to him, and after a while, Chen Yongren also found a reason to leave the venue early, and he was afraid that he would be poured if he stayed any longer.

After Chen Yongren got home, he turned off his mobile phone and went to sleep, this is the most fragrant sleep he has slept since he was reborn, and now the house has been bought, and the ticket is also available, and the next thing is to go to the peak of life to marry Bai Fumei.

Chen Yongren woke up the next morning and went to the studio on the 16th floor of the Tianma Building on Tianma Avenue, known as Beijing's film and television street, to see what else to be busy with.

As soon as I arrived at the studio, I saw that the employees were busy tidying up the studio, so I went to the general manager's office. This general manager was found by him from a headhunting company, graduated from Harvard University, and was a top student, and his resume surprised Chen Yongren.

I remember that when I received the information from the headhunting company, I was interested in this person at first glance.

This person's name is Wang Yu, 45 years old, has a very rich management experience before, has been an executive of a number of multinational companies, the information about him is quite complete, but the headhunting company at the end of the information added: "This person some time ago personally ran a company bankrupt, and then the spirit was decadent, at present, a number of companies have invited him, all unsuccessful, the specific reason is arrears, please be mentally prepared." ”

"Many companies have failed to invite money?" Chen Yongren read Wang Yu's information again, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. His managerial skills are unquestionable, as evidenced by his ability to run a small company into an industry leader ten years ago, and he has worked for several multinational companies since resigning from that company. The reason for bankruptcy is that he felt that his ability was not bad, and he also had the principal, so he quit his job and started a business, invested all his net worth, and opened a financial company, because of investment mistakes and stock market turmoil, the company had to file for bankruptcy, and he was also burdened with huge debts, and the whole person was also decadent.

And those companies that invited him to go out of the mountain were unsuccessful in the end because he proposed to pay off his debts of 20 million yuan, and he would work for this company for the rest of his life. Eventually, many companies were scared back by the debt, which is not a small amount of money. However, this money is really not too much money for Chen Yongren now, after all, it is difficult to buy talents, so after learning that he is currently living abroad a few days ago, he went abroad to visit, and finally Wang Yu also successfully became the general manager of Chen Yongren's studio.

Facts have also proved that Chen Yongren did not invite the wrong person, after Wang Yu took office, the studio was full of personnel in a short period of time, and all work was carried out in an orderly manner.

Walking into the office and seeing Wang Yu reading information on the desk, Chen Yongren said, "Brother Yu is still busy, the studio is almost ready, it should be no problem to open tomorrow."

Wang Yu, who was reviewing the information, heard the voice, looked up and saw that it was Chen Yongren, and then said, "Chen Dong, I'm sorry I'm too busy, I didn't notice you walking in, you sit with me first and pour you a cup of tea" Chen Yongren not only paid off his debt of 20 million for him, so that he and his family avoided the trouble of being pursued, but also offered him an annual salary of 2 million, plus 2% of the studio's shares, although he repeatedly couldn't push it and finally accepted it, so he was very grateful to Chen Yongren.

"Brother Yu, just call me Yongren in private, don't be so outside, don't pour tea, I'll leave immediately, I'll go back and get something later"

"Okay, Chen Dong, oh Yongren, the studio is ready, just wait for the opening tomorrow, and then the assistant you asked me to recruit you last time has also been recruited, just called me, and will come to report later, it should be almost there"

"The assistant has also been recruited, okay, then I'll wait." Hearing that the studio is almost ready, and the assistant has also been recruited, Chen Yongren is very happy, you must know that he has no agent, he has done everything himself during this time, but he is tired enough, so when recruiting Wang Yu, he asked him to recruit an assistant for himself when he recruits people again, saying that the assistant is actually equivalent to his own agent, after all, no matter whether there is or not during this time, all the calls are directly to his side, which can be described as very annoying, and he will be much easier to have an assistant to help him share these little things in the future.

Not long after, a sweet-looking and tall beauty knocked on the door outside the door: "Hello Mr. Wang, I am Huang Huishan, who applied for the position of assistant to the chairman, and I just gave you a call."

"Yongren, this is the assistant I recruited for you, a high-achieving student who just graduated from Harvard University, all the conditions meet your requirements, you can see if it is suitable" Wang Yu turned his head to Huang Huishan after saying to Chen Yongren, "Huishan, come here, this is the chairman, you have to perform well and work hard, you are personally recruited by me, don't let me down"

Chen Yongren saw Huang Huishan for the first time, and felt as kind as the little sister next door, so he said to her: "I'll call you Huishan, since you are the person recruited by Mr. Wang, then your ability will naturally not be bad, I hope we will get along happily in the future."

When Huang Huishan first applied for the job, she only knew that it was the assistant to the chairman of a studio, and this studio was still newly opened, but she had just returned to China and had not found any good job, so she thought about doing it here first, stabilizing and then changing to something else, but she didn't expect that the chairman was actually the director of Infernal Affairs who is currently popular all over the country, you must know that Chen Yongren also made a cameo appearance in the movie, with his good looks, Chen Yongren also attracted countless fans, and he can be said to be the most handsome among the directors and the one with the most fans, and Huang Huishan has also become one of Chen Yongren's fans since watching Infernal Affairs in the cinema, and she is still a little stunned after seeing the real person, I couldn't believe that I was actually an assistant to my idol, and excitedly held Chen Yongren's hand and said: "Director Chen, I'm your fan, I didn't expect to meet you here", but after all, he was also a high-achieving student who graduated from Harvard, and then he thought that he was a little reckless, but he came to apply, and it would be bad if he accidentally lost his job, so he immediately said, "Chairman I'm sorry, I'm too excited, don't fire me, I must work hard"

"Ed..."Chen Yongren was also a little confused, so he said: "It's okay, I didn't expect me to have fans, Huishan will work hard in the future, just don't let me down."

"Okay chairman, I will definitely work hard and never disappoint your expectations of me," Huang Huishan said like a military order.

"Then you are busy in the studio today, you don't have to accompany me today, I'll go back first"

Then Chen Yongren went home, after all, the studio has Wang Yu watching, he is also happy today, and when the studio is busy with the opening ceremony, he will be busy, and the assistant has also seen it, it is a cute girl, the first feeling is not bad, and after explaining some things, I went back to make up for sleep, after all, tomorrow's opening ceremony is busy.
