Early the next morning, Chen Yuan came to the company.

Sun Li, who was guarding the front desk, heard the movement at the door of the hall and raised her head suddenly. For a moment, she was stunned. Chen Yuan seemed to be a different person, and the whole person was refreshed and full of infinite vitality. Compared with him before, it is completely like two people!

"Mr. Chen," Sun Li came back to her senses and greeted respectfully.

Chen Yuan smiled faintly.

This smile fell into Sun Li's eyes, making her heartbeat two beats faster in an instant, and her face suddenly turned crimson.

Chen Yuan noticed Sun Li's change and was slightly surprised. But then he kept the thought in his mind. He said to Sun Li: "Call the heads of various departments and Zhang Shaohan to the conference room." At nine o'clock, the company had a meeting. ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Yuan walked straight to the president's office on the second floor.

Sun Li looked at his back, looking a little stunned. She really felt that Chen Yuan had changed. The change was sudden. Yesterday, Chen Yuan was not like this. Why did the other party change so much in less than a day? Sun Li was puzzled.

also felt Chen Yuan's changes, as well as Ye Yun. Ye Yun, the assistant to the president, has to meet Chen Yuan almost every day. She couldn't know more about Chen Yuan's situation. But the Chen Yuan I saw today was completely different from the person before!

Ye Yun felt strange and asked, "Isn't there always any happy event for Chen?" ”

"What's the happy event?" Chen Yuan sat down at his desk. As he spoke, he turned on the computer console.

"People are in good spirits when they are happy, and Mr. Chen's mental state is so good, he must have encountered a big happy event!" Ye Yun pretended to be thinking seriously, pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Is it about the overseas box office of "Nightclub"?" You already know? ”

"What?" Chen Yuan was surprised.

Chen Yuan's expression didn't look like a fake. It seems that he does not know the news of the overseas box office yet.

Ye Yun said to Chen Yuan: "According to the news given by Zhou Changgong, the total overseas box office of "Nightclub" has exceeded 350 million. After nearly two months of overseas distribution. "Nightclub" will bring our company nearly 90 million box office dividends, and it's dollars! ”

90 million US dollars, isn't that more than 700 million?

Chen Yuan was shocked, not only amazed by this huge number, but also coveted by the huge potential of the overseas film market!

Hollywood movies share about 1/3 of the overseas movie box office. In China, however, the share is only 17 per cent. In other countries, most of them are around 35%~45%. Especially in countries like Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan, which are purely attacked by Hollywood blockbusters, the producer's share ratio can be as high as more than 40%!

There is no comparison between domestic films and Hollywood films. It is difficult for domestic films to go global. Therefore, there has never been a clear sharing ratio for reference to the share of the box office of overseas films. Zhou Changgong of the Youth Film Studio has been linked to overseas distribution through the relationship of China Film, and the proportion of sharing is more or less. Like South Korea, Japan. The share ratio is as high as 35%, and in countries such as North America and Western Europe, the share ratio is less than 20%. This is also because of the amazing box office performance of "Nightclub" in China, and the result of Motorola's investment of 100 million dollars in publicity around the world!

Overall, the proportion of "Nightclub" in the overseas movie box office is 28.2% on average. Excluding the 10% share of the youth film studio, Qingyun Entertainment will also have 25.4% of the box office revenue, that is, 730 million.

730 million? If such data is taken out, anyone will be shocked!

Chen Yuan forcibly suppressed the surprise and shock in his heart. He pretended to smile calmly. said: "I never thought that "Nightclub" would achieve such excellent results. If this data is transmitted back to China, it will definitely cause a sensation in the country! ”

Ye Yun nodded. "This is just the beginning, behind "Nightclub", we have "Crazy Stone", "Crazy Racing". When these two movies are also entered the overseas market, we at Qingyun Entertainment will be noticed by the world......"

"You're taking it for granted." Chen Yuan shook his head and said, "The success of "Nightclub" is extremely accidental. It can succeed. It does not mean that "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racing" can also be successful. The potential of overseas markets is huge, far exceeding that of China, but if you want to open up overseas markets, there is a long way to go! ”

Ye Yun said: "At least we have succeeded so far!" 700 million, this huge box office income. It is enough to make our company ten times stronger and one hundred times bigger! Mr. Chen, the opportunity to expand the territory has come! ”

The opportunity to expand has indeed arrived. In the past, the company had revenue, but it was often difficult to apply it to all aspects. Now that there is 700 million overseas box office accounts, Chen Yuan can finally show his strength! And the huge plan conceived last night is finally possible. Thinking of this, Chen Yuan's spirits were greatly lifted!

He looked at the watch on his wrist, it was not yet half past eight. He said to Ye Yun: "You bring those resumes to me." ”

It didn't take long for Ye Yun to move hundreds of resumes over. These resumes sit on the desk, and there are three thick stacks!

Chen Yuan picked up a resume, swept it slightly, and put it aside. Then the second, the third, the fourth......

Ye Yun stood beside her, and she was surprised to find that Chen Yuan was very fast at flipping through his resume. Ye Yun felt that he didn't seem to be looking at his resume, but flipping through it. Could it be that he was looking for someone?

Soon, Chen Yuan's actions verified Ye Yun's guess. He pulls out a resume from it and puts it on the other side. Then go ahead and flip through.

Ye Yun stepped forward, only to see the word Lu Chuan written in the place where the name was filled in on the resume. Lu Chuan in the photo has short hair and looks very energetic. He has a thin face and wears a pair of glasses, giving people a sense of politeness. At the bottom of the resume, Ye Yun noticed that Lu Chuan actually cooperated with Guan Hu to film the TV series "Black Hole", which has attracted the attention of the society.

Ye Yun still wanted to look down, Chen Yuan had already pressed another resume on top of Lu Chuan's resume. The owner of this resume is called Zheng Baorui. Zheng Baorui in the photo feels a little obscene, and Ye Yun frowned when he saw it. Intuitively, she didn't like this person very much.

After a while, the third resume was also picked out by Chen Yuan. But then, until all the resumes are flipped through. Chen Yuan did not pick out a fourth resume. He took the three resumes he had picked out in his hand and carefully compared them. Compare the memories in his head.

Lu Chuan, a native of Nantong, Jiangsu, is a Chinese director, screenwriter and producer, and graduated from the Jinling People's Liberation Army International Relations Institute and the Kyoto Film Academy.

In his memory, Lu Chuan has filmed "Looking for a Gun", "Ke Ke Xili", "Nanjing! Nanking! ", "The King's Feast", "Nine-Story Demon Tower" and many other well-known works. And most of them have won international awards. He is one of the well-known 6th generation directors in the future.

Lu Chuan is still very young, having just obtained a master's degree the year before last. "Black Hole" is his first work. By the year after next year, with the release of "Looking for a Gun", the name Lu Chuan will gradually become well-known.

Zheng Baorui, a famous director in Hong Kong in the future. The well-known film works he has directed include "Slaying the Wolf 2", "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven", "Journey to the West: Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" and so on. And what many people don't know is that this Zheng Baorui is very good at making horror films, and the two "big-headed monster baby" series of horror films directed by him have attracted the attention of the industry and received praise for their weird atmosphere and suspenseful plots, and they were also nominated for the Hong Kong Film Awards New Director Award.

Now Zheng Baorui. is still working as an assistant director. There are still several years before he makes a name for himself in the film industry!

The owner of the third resume is Urshan, an ethnic Mongolian. A few years later, with a "Sword Laughter", he will win the Best Director Award at the 48th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards! In addition to this "Sword Laughter", there are two other well-known film works for him, one is "Painted Skin 2", and the other is "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon".

After graduating from Kyoto Film Academy in 1998. Urshan smoothly began to work in his own profession as an advertising director, and soon made a name for himself. Won a lot of awards. At the beginning of this year, he founded his own studio "523studio", and has completed installations, short films, performance art and other pure art works with a group of friends, and has also participated in many art festivals.

Lu Chuan, Zheng Baorui, and Wu Ershan, like other job seekers, are all in online media and newspapers. After seeing the recruitment advertisement of Qingyun Entertainment Company, I came to apply.

Qingyun Entertainment Culture Co., Ltd. was established less than a year ago, but its reputation in the industry is booming!

A "Nightclub" attracted countless fans to the cinema, and it was the first film work to break 100 million since the domestic film had a box office record. It has a very short production cycle. The investment is negligible!

A "Crazy Stone" has not yet been released, and it has been hyped up because of plagiarism and being plagiarized. After its release, it was even more of a very strong hegemon, squeezing out the movies released at the same time. Even Feng Xiaogang's movies can't be avoided.

An issue of "I Love to Remember Lyrics", 8 original songs. Two of the songs, "Father" and "Where Has Time Gone", have made countless families empathize and cry. It has been rebroadcast several times in a row, breaking the ratings record again and again.

In just a few months, Qingyun Entertainment announced her existence with a proud attitude!

When the company's recruitment notices were posted on the Internet, newspapers, and TV, some young people who were depressed, or thought that they had some talents, or had dreams, submitted their resumes as soon as possible.

During this time, the company received 7 or 8 hundred resumes every day! Sun Li's hand signing for the courier was numb, and she had complained to Ye Yun more than once. The resume that Chen Yuan had just looked through was less than one-tenth of what he had received so far.

Chen Yuan handed over the three resumes in his hand to Ye Yun, and said at the same time: "Contact them and ask them to come to the company for an interview as soon as possible!" ”

After finishing the order, Chen Yuan looked at his watch again, and the time was almost up. He packed up his things and went to the conference room next door. In the conference room, three people have already sat down. Zhang You, the director of online publicity, Guan Hu of the planning department, and Huang Yunling, the director of the artist. At present, the company has not been fully rolled out, and the department classification is somewhat different. But the size already has a simple outline and structure.

It didn't take long for Ye Yun and Li Bing, assistants to the president, Chen Xiaojuan, music producer, Duan Kun of the marketing department, and Zhang Shaohan to enter the conference room.

Chen Yuan looked around and saw that everyone had already arrived, and he said, "Today is Friday, and there will be a recording of my favorite lyrics in the afternoon." It was originally scheduled that Zhang Shaohan was going to participate in this episode, but now I announce that it will be canceled. ”

Zhang Shaohan, who was sitting in the seat and was nervous, couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the news, she asked, "Why?" ”

Chen Yuan glanced at Zhang Shaohan and explained: "This is related to the company's development in the next three years. I decided to let Chang Shaohan return to Taiwan and wait for the right time. ”

This time. Not only Zhang Shaohan, but even the other people sitting here were puzzled, why did Chen Yuan suddenly make such a decision? And the attitude is so resolute.

"I'm against it!" Huang Yunling said, "Shaohan's qualifications and talents are very good, and with a little training, he can become the pillar of the company." Now if she is allowed to return to Taiwan. So who will be in charge of her training? ”

Chen Yuan said: "Director Huang is calm and don't be impatient. The reason why I asked Zhang Shaohan to return to Taiwan to stand by was because I had a plan. As we all know, the company is about to launch the Super Girl program. This is an opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop, Zhang Shaohan is a member of the company, and we naturally have to take care of her first. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone understood.

"What does Mr. Chen mean is that he hopes that Shaohan will participate in the selection competition in Taiwan and go up step by step?" Huang Yunling nodded and said. "It's a really good approach. Shaohan can quickly accumulate fame and fans in this way. Once you win the championship, you will have a stronger appeal. With a little training, you will definitely be among the first-line singers! ”

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "First-line singers are not Shaohan's goal, I think Shaohan is expected to become a super first-line singer!" ”

After Zhang Shaohan heard this, he was extremely excited. Chen Yuan's words are undoubtedly the greatest affirmation and encouragement for her.

"This meeting is also related to this matter." Chen Yuan said again. "The overseas release of "Nightclub" is nearing the end. At present, the total overseas box office has accumulated 350 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 2.87 billion yuan. The company will receive about 25% of the box office revenue. That's 700 million! ”

As soon as these words came out, except for Ye Yun and Li Bing, who had already gotten the news, the rest of the people were all shocked!

Everyone knows about "Nightclub", the filming time is only eight days, and the total investment is only 1.6 million. The domestic box office of 127 million is enough to shock the world, I never expected that there would be such a huge box office income overseas!

Oh, my God. Guan Hu held back the horror in his heart, and he quickly calculated an account in his mind. An investment of 1.6 million, an income of nearly 800 million yuan (including domestic box office sharing and other copyright income), that is a 500 times return! It's just grabbing money, and it's not so fast, right?

Zhang Shaohan only felt a burst of difficulty breathing. She naturally understands what a huge number of 700 million box office share is. I didn't expect that the young president in front of me would create such a miracle! Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Chen Yuan's eyes, as weird as she was!

Others can still keep their sanity to some extent, but as the director of the Internet Propaganda Department, Zhang You almost fainted. 700 million, that is no longer money in his opinion, but an infinite number. With such a sum of money, I am afraid that he will not be able to spend it in ten lifetimes.

"The company already has a lot of liquidity, and many of the plans can be launched quickly." Chen Yuan said, "My original intention was to include 34 provinces, municipalities, autonomous regions, Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions, as well as Taiwan into the draft scope of 'Super Girl'. But now we can take that idea a little bit bolder! ”

Hearing this, Li Bing's heart moved, and she said in surprise: "Do you want to expand this event to the entire Chinese area?" ”

Chen Yuan shook his head and said, "Although the entire Chinese region is not small, it is not my purpose. I want to expand its scope to the whole world! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him with the eyes of a madman.

It's completely impossible! A lot of things can't be done with money. Do you want to promote the national draft to the world? How much manpower and material resources does that require? How long does it take to prepare? Just thinking about it makes your scalp tingle, let alone putting it into action?

"Mr. Chen, the cultures of various countries are very different, especially those Western countries, and they are used to looking at us with a contemptuous eye. Do you think this plan is really feasible? Those foreigners won't work with us. Huang Yunling said worriedly.

"It's man-made," Chen Yuan smiled faintly, his face full of confidence.

"This plan is too huge, we don't have that many people," Ye Yun thought about it for a while and said, "Even if a country or region only sends one person, there are not enough people in the company." And the company still has to film and operate normally, so it needs people even more. But in a short period of time, where do we go to find so many people? ”

Li Bing continued: "Once the national draft rises to the world-class, there will be more things in between. Let's say the judging criteria! There is a big difference between the aesthetics of Westerners and Orientals. Something we think is good. Westerners may not be able to accept it. And what Westerners can accept, we don't necessarily think is good. When the time comes, what kind of criteria should be used? ”

"That's just one thing," Li Bing continued, "and the second is that we have to ensure that the draft is fair and impartial." Otherwise, it will cause dissatisfaction among the people of the world. That has risen to the level of an international issue. We...... Does it really work? ”

"Since Assistant Li has already said this, then I will also say a few words," Guan Hu put down the pen in his hand, he raised his head, and said to everyone: "The country has been reforming and opening up, and has been applying for WTO membership, but it has not yet passed. In other words, China has not yet been accepted by the world, if we expand the scope of activities from the whole country to the whole world. Eighty or ninety percent will become the laughing stock of the people of the world! ”

……

Sure enough, everyone was against it.

Chen Yuan rubbed his forehead and exhaled slowly. He coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention, and said, "It's really hard, how hard is it?" I don't think any of you here will think that this seemingly crazy plan is feasible. ”

Guan Hu, Huang Yunling, Chen Xiaojuan and others nodded one after another, this is indeed everyone's common opinion.

The corners of Chen Yuan's mouth hooked. An intriguing smile is revealed. He said: "If it had been released overseas before 'Nightclub' was released overseas, I said it would bring 700 million to the company at the box office. Will any of you believe? ”

"That's different," Li Bing retorted, "they're not the same thing at all!" ”

Chen Yuan shook his head, he looked at Li Bing, and said, "Actually, they are the same, they seem to everyone." It's all impossible. But now, the overseas box office revenue of "Nightclub" has exceeded 700 million, and we also have reason to believe that this national talent show to the world will also be successful! ”

"It's still the same sentence, it's man-made!" Chen Yuan repeated again. "Only if we do it and work hard will it have a chance to be realized. If we don't do it, we'll never succeed. Everyone is a person with a dream. Do you think your dreams are far away? Zhang Shaohan, come on! ”

"Huh?" was suddenly named, Zhang Shaohan was a little at a loss, her face turned slightly red, and she was silent for a while, before she spoke: "My dream is to become a singer and a star." I originally thought that this dream was very far away, but since I saw the miracle that happened around Mr. Chen, I suddenly felt very normal, and the dream seemed to come true easily. ”

"Where's Zhang You?" Chen Yuan asked again.

"My dream has come true," Zhang You scratched his head and said honestly, "Actually, my dream is very simple, that is, to have a decent job, with more salary than most people, and to be able to work with people I like." That's it. In fact, before Mr. Chen came to me, I thought that what I wanted was a dream, out of reach. But now, the dream has come true. ”

"What about Duan Kun?" Chen Yuan asked again.

Duan Kun, who had been silent, was asked by Chen Yuan, and he had to speak.

I saw him smile bitterly and said: "Before joining the company, I hope to have a stable job, then get married and have children, and live a stable life like this." But now, I realize that I seem to be wrong. "Sealing the Demon", "Nightclub", "Crazy Stone", judging from Mr. Chen's works and these recent events, Mr. Chen is not a person who is willing to be lonely. On the contrary, Mr. Chen's bones are full of madness! ”

Everyone looked at Duan Kun in surprise, but they didn't expect Duan Kun to say such a thing.

Duan Kun said to himself: "I know that Chen is always the one who does big things. Mr. Chen is talented and young. It is the time to dare to fight. I have a hunch that Mr. Chen will definitely make an earth-shattering career. This made me, who longed for a peaceful life, also began to become restless. Now that I've said that, I'll tell you the truth. If Mr. Chen is going crazy, please take me with you! ”

"And me," Guan Hu laughed and said, "Before I thought about it, I was still a young director who didn't enter the stream. Now it's worth a hundred times! All of this was brought by Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen is going crazy, it's impossible to leave me, right? ”

"What's crazy and not crazy? No wonder it's ugly. Li Bing pursed his lips and said, "Everyone is a supervisor-level figure in the company, not a small employee, and you can't just rely on feelings and temperament." Everyone is responsible for the company! You're all crazy, what about the company? We can't do things recklessly. Right? Ye Assistant. ”

Ye Yun snorted, she supported Li Bing, and she suggested to Chen Yuan: "This plan is too sudden, Mr. Chen should give everyone a period of time to think about it." After all, this is not a trivial matter, and decisions cannot be made lightly. ”

……

After the meeting ended, Chen Yuan left Zhang Shaohan and Duan Kun behind.

Chen Yuan came to Zhang Shaohan's side and said to her: "You must know that I am helping you by arranging for you to return to Taiwan." ”

"But isn't it okay for me to stay in the company?" Zhang Shaohan did not want to leave the company. It's a magical place that works wonders. She was reluctant to leave.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Be obedient, I promise to give you a big surprise in the future." ”

"Really?" Zhang Shaohan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Then, she repeatedly asked what the surprise was, but Chen Yuan didn't tell her. Finally, she sighed and left the conference room.

At this time, Chen Yuan took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Duan Kun.

Duan Kun took the note, only to see a line of English letters written on it - Avril Lavigne.

Avril Lavigne, born in '84, lives in the small town of Napani, Ontario, Canada. You should be able to find this girl by following the address left on the note. Your mission is to find her and convince her to participate in Supergirl next June! Chen Yuan said.

Duan Kun was surprised and asked, "Where did you get this girl's information?" It can't be fake, right? If the information is wrong, it's a wasted trip. ”

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with that." Chen Yuan said confidently. (To be continued.) )
