Taiwan Island.

Yangmingshan.

A certain half-level villa.

The old man of the Chen family of Hailian Group sat in the study, wearing glasses and carefully browsing the newspaper in front of him.

There are the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the Christian Science Monitor, and so on, all of which are recent newspapers in the United States, specially brought back from the United States.

Chen Xiangdong knocked on the door and stood aside.

Bringing it to the old man and putting down the newspaper in his hand, he said, "Father, I told Jon. ”

"Good. The old man nodded and pointed to the newspaper on the table, "Have you read it?"

"I've finished reading it. ”

"Tell me what you think. ”

Chen Xiangdong: "......"

What to talk about?

Chen Xiangdong knows his father's thoughts too well.

Since "This Man is from Earth" was released in the United States and had a lot of repercussions, it has attracted the attention of the old man of the Chen family, and he has specially asked people to bring back relevant newspapers from the United States.

Not only the Chen family, this movie has attracted the attention of many business tycoons and capital predators.

With an investment of tens of thousands of dollars, the box office has exceeded tens of millions, creating an unimaginable return on investment......

This is a phrase that is often on the lips of the domestic media, and can be seen everywhere in newspapers and on the Internet, causing the public to marvel again and again.

This is indeed a matter of great mention.

Just as the American media insisted that this was a conspiracy of the Chinese people, the domestic media believed that this was a victory for the Chinese filmmakers, a hearty victory.

Although the movie is currently only being released in North America and is still in theaters, the existing box office results have shown the world that Meng Ren's strong professional ability, wealth creation ability, civil war, and foreign war are all expert skills, as well as the ability to create miracles.

There are many big and cheap people in the circle, and the capital parties who are willing to show their strength in the entertainment industry, and the capital parties who want to make quick money in the entertainment industry, are all tempted.

Wang Tian, president of Fiber Optic Media, is just a microcosm of these people.

They are all convinced that Moe Ren will not only make small and medium-budget movies forever, but will definitely make blockbusters and international blockbusters, and now is the best opportunity.

With the help of the repercussions caused by "This Man from Earth" in the United States, we will launch international blockbusters with big directors, big stars, and big productions while the iron is hot, and strive to establish the status of Meng Ren in the international film industry.

Eggs cannot be placed in one basket.

There are risks in investing in films, and it is good to say that the greater the investment cost, the greater the risk.

Whether at home or abroad, the vast majority of blockbusters are jointly invested by multiple companies to share risks.

Just like venture capital, you can't put all your money in one company, but spread it out. Even if nine out of ten investments fail, as long as one of them succeeds, it is enough to cover all the losses and still make some gains.

The same is true for film investment, and the combination of strong forces has its own strengths, and together they escort the box office sales of the movie.

They are waiting for an opportunity, waiting for cute people to make blockbusters.

However, some business tycoons and capital tycoons have a much longer-term vision. They will not only pay attention to the superficial data such as the cost of film investment and box office returns, but also pay more attention to the things behind the film.

First, the protests in the United States were triggered by the content of the film, and then the scale of the demonstrations quickly escalated, and more and more groups organized marches with various themes, but the mainstream media in China did not report on them for a long time, until a few days ago, it seemed that the flood gate was suddenly opened, and the media coverage was overwhelming.

There's a lot to savor behind this.

But anyway, the starting point of the whole thing is the soft sci-fi movie of the cute people, and the roots are in Mai Xiaoyu.

When "This Man is from Earth" first made a disturbance in the United States, many domestic bigwigs and predators noticed it. However, the mainstream media has not reported it, and they have not said anything, who let the news media be the mouthpiece of the party and the government?

Since the mainstream media has changed their attitude 180 degrees and started to report on it and set a positive tone for it, some people have started to take action.

For example, Wang Tian, president of Optical Fiber Media, with the help of his artist Liu Yan's relationship, initially established a communication and cooperation channel with Mai Xiaoyu.

And the old man of the Chen family, who has always been optimistic about Mai Xiaoyu, wanted Chen Qiaoen to bring Mai Xiaoyu to his seventieth birthday at the beginning of this year, but was dissuaded by Chen Xiangdong.

After the sudden change in the attitude of the mainstream media this time, he no longer had any taboos, and asked his eldest son Chen Xiangdong to tell Chen Qiaoen that he would bring Mai Xiaoyu to participate in his 70th birthday after a while, and the meaning was already obvious.

Chen Xiangdong hesitated slightly: "I admit that he is a very good young man, and under his leadership, Mengren has developed rapidly over the years, and he is a good partner to work with." But he and Jon ...... Square peg. ”

"Reason. ”

"I've always believed that his motives for approaching Jon were not pure. ”

"So what, do you think he'll wronged Jon?"

"But there is something wrong with his personality and modus operandi, and I am afraid that he will be implicated. ”

As Chen Aijun said, Mai Xiaoyu was mentally stimulated and developed multiple personalities, which caused him to be bold enough, courageous, and capable, and dare to ignore the rules and break the rules for his own purposes, with amazing destructive power.

But the Chen family knew that Mai Xiaoyu was not sick at all, and the so-called multiple personalities were used to fool and get close to Chen Qiaoen.

Therefore, Chen Xiangdong couldn't accept his methods.

Each circle has its own rules, and no matter what happens, the rules that are conventionally agreed upon in the circle must be followed.

Just like the entertainment industry, there are a lot of chaos in the circle, and the people who eat melons can only rely on guessing, relying on the paparazzi to secretly take photos to break the news, and how many insiders who know the inside story dare to stand up and make it public?

Do you still want to mix in the circle?

No one likes people who don't follow the rules, and the upper circles take this more seriously.

What Mai Xiaoyu is most criticized for is the amazing destructive power he showed after being forced to be urgent, unscrupulous and unscrupulous and unscrupulous about the rules.

Not to mention that the upper circles don't like it, even the Virgins who are used to eating the masses call him a mad dog.

In the eyes of the Virgins, it is wrong for others to beat you, but if you don't give up, you have to fight back, and you beat the reservoir dogs, that is, you are wrong.

In addition, the favorite of the upper circles is the Notre Dame Party, which is definitely free labor for washing the floor.

"Huh. The old man laughed twice, "This is the difference between greenhouse flowers and weeds." Greenhouse flowers, because of greenhouse protection, are easy to get enough sunlight and nutrients, and do not need to face the wind and waves alone, and the growth path is often smooth.

Weeds are different. Wild grasses have no shelter and can only survive on their own, so they must compete for as much sunlight and nutrients as possible, or they will wither.

However, every weed that can grow is comparable to a towering tree, and many times it cannot be compared with greenhouse flowers. Think about the wealthy families in various countries, including our Chen family, who is not a weed in the generation that started the family business?"

"Father, you think so highly of him?"

"Because he has the capital to be optimistic about. Think about it, although he did things in an extreme way and was good at using sideways ways, how many times did he suffer a loss? Even this time, when he made such a big disturbance in the United States, it must have attracted the attention of the authorities.

Movies are still being released, and the box office is still increasing. What about one accident, two by luck, three times, four times, or five times? It shows that every time he does something, he will be fully considered and carefully calculated.

On the surface, he often doesn't follow the rules and breaks the rules, but he gains and grows every time. When he reaches a certain height, he is qualified to participate in the making of the rules, and then who will complain that he is breaking the rules?"

Chen Xiangdong exclaimed: "It's impossible, he, how old is he, how can he understand this?"

He may not understand, but his approach is exactly in line with this logic. And you brothers all understand, but it's a pity that the comfortable days have been too long, whether it is a few of you or the younger generation, you lack this momentum and courage. That's why I asked Jon to bring him, and I think Jon, this girl, would be happy to ......."

……

Gladly?

Chen Qiaoen is very entangled now!

Taoyuan County.

The hotel where "Fated I Love You" stayed.

Outside the window, the night sky is clear and the stars are shining.

In the room, Chen Qiaoen sat on the bed for a long time, holding his mobile phone and feeling confused.

She once told Mai Xiaoyu that she would accompany her to her grandfather's 70th birthday.

Although Mai Xiaoyu refused, she used a girl's special skills, and when the time came, she would contact Mai Xiaoyu a few days in advance, and she had to accompany her whether Mai Xiaoyu agreed or not.

But today, Uncle Chen Xiangdong conveyed the old man's instructions on the phone, so that she could hear another meaning.

"Your grandfather hopes to see you bring Mai Xiaoyu to celebrate your birthday at the birthday banquet. ”

This sentence has been haunting Chen Qiaoen's ears.

Yikes!

She grabbed her hair hard to dispel the sentence, and after a few thoughts, dialed Mai Xiaoyu's mobile phone.

It took a while for the phone to go through.

"Jon?"

"It's me. ”

"What's wrong? Listening to the voice, the mood is not right, what's wrong?"

With a simple sentence of "it's me", Mai Xiaoyu could hear that he was in a bad mood, Chen Qiaoen's heart warmed, and his little daughter's posture sprouted, and she was coquettish: "I miss you." ”

I'll go!

Mai Xiaoyu almost didn't throw away his phone.

"What are you talking about, be louder, the signal on my side is not good. ”

Load, you keep loading!

"Where are you, with such a poor signal?"

"Oh, here are a few out-of-town friends, I'll entertain you. I've just eaten, and now I'm singing. ”

"You have time to receive friends from other places, don't you want to come and see me, I'm making money for you. ”

"Ah, I've thought about it. It's not that I've been too busy lately to take a break. After a while, when I was busy with the things at hand, I went to visit the crew. ”

"As you said, after the release of "Love Call Transfer", don't lie to me!"

Hanging up the phone, Chen Qiaoen let out a sigh of relief, and a touch of cunning flashed in his eyes.

As long as you come to Taiwan Island and don't accompany me back to celebrate grandpa's birthday, I can't help you!

Mai Xiaoyu didn't know Chen Qiaoen's careful thoughts, and after making the call, he hurried back to the box, and there were still guests inside.

In the past two days, "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" began to hold overseas special sessions. Considering the transportation factors, the program team specially built a live stage in Yanjing, which is exactly the same as the upgraded live stage in Jinling.

"If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" is becoming more and more popular, becoming the ace variety show of Lizhi Satellite TV, with fierce competition for naming, higher and higher naming fees, and continuous sponsorship of various advertisements, not bad for that money.

Before coming to Yanjing, Meng Fei called Mai Xiaoyu and asked to sit together after the recording of the show, and euphemistically proposed that he hoped to get to know director Xi Xiaoxing.

As soon as Mai Xiaoyu heard it, he knew that there was something going on.

It just so happens that he is also preparing to use the show "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" to promote the upcoming "Love Call Transfer". And I have already said hello to the program team, and this time I can discuss the introduction with Meng Fei.

Sure enough, when he was eating tonight, Meng Fei didn't come alone, and he was still followed by his distant cousin, Meng Yuxing, who looked cute and had a relationship with Mai Xiaoyu.

After taking the seat, after a simple greeting and politeness, the two sides chatted around the topic of "This Man is from Earth".

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Meng Fei finally made his intentions clear.

Isn't Meng Ren preparing to shoot the sitcom "Love Apartment", his distant cousin Meng Yuxing is very interested, hoping that Mai Xiaoyu can give him a chance.

Artists who are a little famous and don't worry about filming are mostly reluctant to take on sitcoms. However, a newcomer like Meng Yuxing, who has just debuted, is not famous, and he can't receive a play for half a year in a year, so he is not qualified to pick a play at all.

It's good to have filming, how can you pick fat and thin?

What about sitcoms?

That's also a sitcom produced by Moejin!

And Meng Yuxing also hopes to use the relationship between Meng Fei and Mai Xiaoyu to become a protagonist.

This kind of thing is very common in the circle, and it is the same as other industries.

Mai Xiaoyu glanced at Xi Xiaoxing, did not refuse, and did not say anything to death.

He just said that Director Yu has the final say on the crew's affairs, and whether Meng Yuxing can play the protagonist or not, it is up to Xiao Xing to have the final say.

Meng Yuxing thanked Mai Xiaoyu, and then wrapped up with Xiao Xiaoxing......

When Mai Xiaoyu returned to the box, he saw Meng Yuxing pulling Yu Xiaoxing, standing in front of the screen with his shoulders hooked and singing loudly, and Meng Fei was sitting alone on the sofa, looking thoughtful.

He didn't alarm Xiao Xing and Meng Yuxing, and walked over to sit next to Meng Fei: "I'm sorry, my friend's phone call said something." ”

"It doesn't matter. I thought about it just now, do you think this will work......"

Meng Fei is very dedicated.

Mai Xiaoyu gave him face and took care of his cousin into the group, and he also tried his best to help Mai Xiaoyu do a good job in movie promotion. When Mai Xiaoyu went out to answer the phone, he kept thinking about how to phrase the show.

The four of them sang K, drank, and chatted, and it was very pleasant.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Meng Yuxing was ready to leave, and the excited Meng Yuxing wanted to pull the three of them to continue to go to the night game.

He was so excited, because when he was singing just now, Xi Xiaoxing promised him to let him play the role of "Lu Zhanbo" in "Love Apartment", which is the protagonist.

Xiao Xiaoxing's decision was not all about taking care of Meng Fei's face, Meng Yuxing's cute appearance was also more suitable for this role.

is still the same sentence, there are famous artists who don't worry about filming, but they don't want to shoot sitcoms.

These days, almost all the actors auditioning for "Love Apartment" are newcomers who have just debuted, and there are also undergraduate students who have not graduated. Pick a general among the short, regardless of character fit, image, popularity, and acting skills, Meng Yuxing can be regarded as a leader.

In addition, he is also Meng Fei's distant cousin, and this relationship is conducive to the publicity of "Love Apartment" in the future.

"Play and play, you know how to play, do you think everyone is the same as you! Go back and prepare well, if you mess up, see if I don't care about you in the future!"

Meng Fei slapped it, and Meng Yuxing was honest.

The four of them left the box and went to the front desk to settle the bill.

On the way, I met a young man with a long body, who drank a little too much, walked crookedly, and almost hit Mai Xiaoyu.

Mai Xiaoyu avoided him, but he turned around and called Mai Xiaoyu: "Alas, you wait a minute!"
