Chapter 748: The Sea of Bitterness Is Endless
Many people start a family, get married, have children, and become fathers, often ignoring the existence of their parents.
Some people even began to dislike their parents for getting in the way, and they were worried that they would have to provide for their parents in the future.
At the moment of becoming a father, Chen Ziang felt that he had found the meaning of life's struggle.
The reason why he thinks that the meaning of a lifetime of struggle is in the child is because he knows that his parents only want him to live well and be happy in life.
Struggle?
They didn't want him to be like that, it would be hard.
Chen Ziang also doesn't want his children to work as hard as him in the future, running all over the country and the world, it seems to be beautiful, but it is actually very tiring.
If he had a choice, maybe he would not have taken the current path, but would choose to be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life.
The bitter sea is endless, and turning back is the shore?
Is he still able to turn around?
……
Chen Feng and Shi Jia rushed from Lin'an the day after their grandchildren were born, and the two elders hugged their grandchildren with smiles on their faces.
Even though their grandchildren were crying in their arms, they were laughing happily.
"I haven't seen you for a while, why do you seem to be getting a lot older again?" After putting down his grandchildren, Chen's father looked at Chen Zi and frowned slightly.
Chen Ziang rushed back from the United States, didn't take care of himself, had a scruffy beard, and deliberately tanned his skin a little for filming.
"It's good to be mature, I'm a father anyway, I don't have to worry about having a girlfriend or wife, what are you afraid of?" Shi Jia hugged her grandson and shook her body, she didn't dislike Chen Ziang's "sloppy" appearance.
On the third day after Guan Tongtong was discharged from the hospital, relatives and friends from all over the family began to come to visit Guan Tongtong and the child.
The important guests were still in confinement, and Guan Tongtong, who was weak, came downstairs to see him.
Chen Ziang had a headache, even though he had an extraordinary memory, so many guests, wave after wave, he couldn't fully remember the identity and name of the person who came.
is like a powerful singer, singing very well, but once the other party dances, the ducks may dance better than him (her).
Interpersonal exchanges, interpersonal socialization, tiring!
If it weren't for thinking about the child, Chen Ziang would have wanted to go out to work immediately.
He would rather work than deal with relatives and friends with the Guan family.
On the Chen family's side, relatives received the news, but it was too far away and no one rushed over.
After all, the conditions are not at the same level as the Guan family.
The relatives of the Chen family can only wait for the two children to return to Lin'an before visiting.
As for Shi Jia's business partner, he had already heard the rumors, but he didn't know the address and didn't come to the door, otherwise Jiangcheng Guan's family wouldn't be able to receive guests for a week.
Guan Nier and Kuan Dandan also came to see Kwan on the fourth day of her discharge.
After seeing Chen Ziang's son and daughter, the two girls, one older and one younger, also made no secret of their inner thoughts: Why are you so ugly?
If outsiders, even other relatives, will not say this, they will only praise this and that.
"Go away!" Chen Ziang snatched his daughter from Guan Dandan's arms: "Our mother said that you were uglier than my daughter when you were born." ”
Kuan Dandan didn't believe it and asked Guan's mother: "Mom, is this the case?"
"Needless to say, the newborn nose is collapsed, and the eyes are so small that they almost can't see......" Guan's mother naturally looked at her grandson and granddaughter.
"You see they also have collapsed noses, small eyes, and wrinkled skin...... "Kuan Dandan pointed to his sister's son and daughter, very unconvinced.
Chen Ziang smiled: "No matter how collapsed your nose is, no matter how small your eyes are, and no matter how wrinkled your skin is, you will look better than you at that time." ”
……
In the past few days that Chen Ziang has been in Jiangcheng, the crew in India has been ready, just waiting for him to come.
But after waiting for a day, everyone received a notice that Chen Ziang was promoted to father.
Then, the crew cheered, and the boss gave them three days off on the spot.
As for the actors, who are already in place, Chen Ziang can only send red envelopes to them and wait.
The schedules of actors are generally booked, especially if they are famous, and the crew sometimes has to prioritize the filming date for these actors.
Fortunately, Li Qiuting is the most famous in Chen Ziang's crew - super first-line.
Superstar-level artists not only need strength and qualifications, but also a little time to precipitate.
Li Qiuting is not yet a domestic superstar.
The other actors in Chen Ziang's crew are not on the front line.
Even he himself can only be regarded as a second-tier in the film and television industry, and he is not a first-tier one.
Actors who are only mixed on the TV screen and have not experienced the test of the screen, no matter how popular they are, they will not be regarded as a line in the circle.
Now, the harsh winter in the film and television industry is coming, and the film and television companies that had tens of millions of liquidity last year and were arrogant in everything they did were all very poor this year.
Because the state's supervision and management of the film and television industry is becoming more and more strict, it has led to the withdrawal of capital one after another.
As a result of the withdrawal of capital, everyone began to cut back on food and clothing.
As early as a few years ago, the country wanted to rectify the problem of the sky-high price of celebrities, some retired old scientists, as well as teachers and other senior intellectuals, wrote letters to the country, they have done a lifetime for the construction of the motherland, but the income of a lifetime is not as much as the star comes out to make a turn, and this market has brought a lot of young people who are not deeply involved in the world.
Later, the relevant departments issued documents to ask film and television companies to control sky-high stars, but no company paid attention to them, or there was no way to pay attention to them, there are only so many first-line stars, the platform recognizes stars, you don't invite stars, the platform won't buy it, and there are so many film and television projects, you don't pay a high price, others pay a high price, do you have a way to yarn?
In the end, because of the revelation of a certain contract, it caused a great turmoil in the film and television industry, and TV series were the most affected, followed by movies.
Because of the tax reform, the total cost of a film will increase by about 20%. And when making a movie, only 10 percent can not lose money, and when the total cost increases by 20 percent, this 10 percent front that does not lose money will also lose a large area.
Especially at the beginning, it was rumored that the film and television company would pay six months of back taxes, which made the company panic, who has so much cash flow?
Now, online platforms and top domestic film and television drama production companies, including the Film Directors Association, have issued a joint statement to curb sky-high stars, and even list the highest income standards for stars to participate in film and television dramas...... A single episode must not exceed 1 million, and the total income of a drama must not exceed 50 million.
Although this is already the result of control, this is still sky-high, and the government departments are estimated to have the same idea, so this market will still be suppressed, until the film and television company must reverse and suppress the star income again, in order to ensure that it does not lose money and find a new break-even point.
The online platform that has been burning money to seize the market has also taken the opportunity to introduce a new website acquisition price limit policy, such as a certain drama, with a single cost of 5 million, and the production company intends to sell 8 million episodes to the platform, which can be discussed before, but now the platform is only willing to pay 6 million.
In fact, at the beginning, the income of celebrities was not as exaggerated as it is now, and it is even more unlikely that there will be three men and four men who will act in some popular dramas, and they will dare to ask for 20 or 30 million small fresh meat in the next play, and the real origin will start on the online platform.
Data fraud is a well-known insider, but this kind of fraud, tens of billions of clicks at every turn, can give advertisers a beautiful answer, so the fake is getting more and more powerful, when the TV series began to fall, from the original one drama and two stars, to one star and one network, the TV series were also affected by the online drama and began to be eroded by sky-high stars.
Then, the website started to make movies again, using the set they are good at, and they want to gnaw the movie down, but unfortunately, they have suffered a big loss in the movie, and it is easy to brush and click, who can afford to brush the box office?
When the little fresh meat discovers, the original form of making a movie will be revealed, and when the platform finds that making a movie will only lose money, it will naturally retreat from this field.
So now Xiao Xianrou is filming a TV series, and it will be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars bigger at every turn, but he doesn't dare to be the protagonist in the movie.
A super first-line star like Li Qiuting makes a movie, which is the price of twenty or thirty million.
Chen Ziang has never entered the film industry, he has only been on the TV screen, so that he is not regarded as a first-line artist in the film and television industry in the circle.
He entered the film industry, became the protagonist, and the matter of making movies is no longer a secret in the circle.
Even, some people outside the circle already know.
Insiders are now moving vests and waiting to watch the show.
Because Chen Ziang is actually regarded as a little fresh meat by insiders, the media and fans outside the circle praise Xiao Xianrou and praise it everywhere, but insiders actually look down on the so-called little fresh meat in their hearts.
These people are flashy, even if they can bring a lot of traffic, they are also looked down upon by insiders.
Netizens, fans, and brain-dead fans are okay to support Xiao Xianrou on the Internet, but if you really let these people pay money to go to the cinema to support, more than ninety percent will not.
First, most of the groups to which these people belong are students, and they belong to the consumer group with no income, and a few dozen yuan is also money.
The second is that these people think that I am already very powerful in waving the flag and shouting and cheering, okay, and they still want me to pay for it?
"Sit back and wait for Chen Ziang's true form to be revealed!"
Most of the insiders like to see it, and they want to see how the unsociable Chen Ziang fell so much in the film industry that his head was bleeding.
Some filmmakers are indeed disgusted with the indiscriminate entry of some capital, which disrupts the market.
In their opinion, Chen Ziang is also that kind of capital.
"The TV industry has fallen, and I don't know how long it will take to get it in order and return to normal order. ”
"The film industry almost fell, our films are already weak in the world, and our domestic capital is so messy that it is even more difficult to rejuvenate. ”
"Those capitals are not convinced, and after coming to pay a handful, they will withdraw. ”
"The evil capitalists, who are not really filmmakers, have dragged down the development of films in our country. ”
"In the music industry, in the TV industry, there are a lot of people who support him, but it doesn't cost much to support, the movie is different, watch how he runs back to mix the music industry and the TV circle. ”
“……”
People in the film industry watched coldly, watching the fate of Chen Ziang, a person who did not play according to the routine and was not very well treated by insiders in the music and TV circles.
Most people in the music industry, variety show industry, and TV industry also want Chen Ziang to mix things up.
If there is love in the sky, the sky is also old, and the sky is jealous of talents, let alone people.
There are not many people who are red-eyed and Chen Ziang.
Peers are enemies, unless there is an interaction of interests, otherwise it can only be an enemy.
……
After staying in Jiangcheng for four days, on the fifth day, Chen Ziang left Guan's house and went to India to continue filming the rest of the film.
There are not many scenes in India, and there are not many actors involved, and the filming can be completed in about ten days.
Otherwise, if it was Jinling, Chen Ziang would not dare to delay it for so long.
It has taken him four or five days to help Wang Yu in the United States.
Returning to Jiangcheng Guan's house, counting the travel time, it took a total of five days.
The crew is burning money every day, not only his money, but also several other investors.
Even if he burns the money of Boyu Film and Television, Chen Ziang will not come.
After all, there are also Li Qiuting, Xu Ran, and Wang Yu as partners.
He wants to say that he is on the mat, Li Qiuting, do they want it or not?
If he doesn't put it on, he can't get over it in his own heart.
In short, after the ship sailed, he couldn't help it.
It's like life.
"Congratulations!" After Chen Ziang arrived in India, Li Qiuting was already waiting for him at the door of the hotel.
"Why don't you come here, and you don't have a role in it. Getting out of the car with a big bag and a small bag, Chen Ziang ignored Li Qiuting's enthusiasm.
"The later stage of "Huanzhu Gege 2" is almost done, and it is okay to walk around, which will help the inspiration explode. Li Qiuting said with a smile, stretching out her hand, wanting to help Chen Ziang get some luggage.
Chen Ziang was unceremonious, and left the biggest luggage, the suitcase, to Li Qiuting.
Li Qiuting's face was a little dark, but she didn't refuse, grabbed the handle with both hands, and wanted to carry it up the steps.
As a result, her old waist almost flashed.
"I can't lift it!" she said angrily.
Chen Ziang stretched out a palm towards Li Qiuting.
Li Qiuting was stunned: "...... Why?"
"Didn't you just congratulate me on becoming a father, what about the red envelope?" Chen Ziang said.
Li Qiuting was even more angry: "You are a father who gives red envelopes to others, and then asks me for red envelopes, how can you do this?"
"What you lose, you have to earn it back from elsewhere, and it just so happens that you show up in time and take you under the knife. Chen Ziang still stretched out his hand towards Li Qiuting.
Li Qiuting's eyes were a little red, and as soon as she flicked her braids, she entered the hotel by herself.
Chen Ziang sighed and carried his suitcase.
A tube and others followed, also holding things, and didn't say a word.
"The boss seems to be very good at liking women. One whispered in Kujo's ear.
Kujou's eyes widened: "How did I not know?"
Yiguan opened his mouth and said for a while: "Don't you see that this young lady is happy every time she sees our boss?"
"I'm so happy every time I see you. Kujo said.
A tube trembled: "Stay away from me!"
"What are you muttering?" Chen Ziang, who was walking in front, stopped.
Now not only Guan Xinxin sent four people such as Yizhu and Jiutiao to follow him in turn, but Guan's father and mother also sent people to take turns to change the guard with Chen Ziang.
Chen Ziang refused.
Guan Xinxin did not object.
But Chen Ziang knew that he was starting to feel a little involuntarily.
Guan Xinxin is in charge of his safety issues, and Guan's father and mother dare to interfere, there must be something behind him that he doesn't know.
I remember that when he left Jiangcheng, he talked to his mother on the phone, and his mother showed a trace of pain on the phone, as if she wanted to save her son back.
