Chapter 803: Literary Film

"Sister Xia, is my sister in the office?"

Erbao asked with a smile.

The front desk raised his head: "I said Xu Erbao, you three brothers haven't been here for a long time, Mr. Xu just ordered, let you come and go in directly." ”

"We still have to go to school, so we don't have time."

Erbao shrugged.

"It's all excuses." The front desk teased, "I heard Mr. Xu say that the three of you have found a partner, even if you have time, you probably accompany your girlfriend." ”

"Hehe, you're right." Erbao pointed to his girlfriend and introduced: "Sister Xia, this is my girlfriend Xie Dailin, she is also a police academy student." ”

"Sister Xia, hello!"

Xie Dailin nodded at the other party.

"Good girl, such a beautiful girl, no wonder you hide it and refuse to bring it out to meet people."

"Where?" Xie Dailin's face was slightly red.

"Haha... Didn't you bring it today? Okay, Sister Xia, you're busy, let's go in. ”

Erbao waved his hand, and then walked towards the general manager's office with his girlfriend in his arms.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Please come in!"

Erbao pushed the door in: "Eldest sister, it's me." ”

Coco immediately stood up and quickly walked up to Xie Dailin: "You are Dailin, right?" Sure enough, she looks like a fairy. ”

"Hello big sister!" Xie Dailin greeted obediently.

"Come, let's sit down and talk."

Coco pulled the other party to sit on the sofa.

Erbao picked up the teapot on the coffee table and poured a cup of tea for each of the three of them, the tea leaves were home-fried green tea, which he recognized at a glance.

"Eldest sister, you have too much tea leaves, right? There are only a few catties of tea picked at home, and they are almost exhausted by you. ”

Coco rubbed her forehead: "I've been busy with work lately, working overtime every day, and drinking some strong tea can refresh me." ”

"If it doesn't work, just rest for two days, don't hold on."

Erbao cared.

"Yes, eldest sister, the body is the most important."

Xie Dailin echoed.

Coco waved his hand: "It's okay, the problem has almost been solved, after a while, I'm going to give myself a long vacation." ”

Next, Keke pulled Xie Dailin to ask a bunch of questions, and also said a lot of interesting things about the second brother's childhood, in addition, the two also talked about the entrepreneurial process and work routine of "Blue Creativity".

However, regarding the family background of the old Xu family, Coco has always been tight-lipped, and the second brother has said hello in advance, so she will naturally not dismantle the stage for no reason.

"Eldest sister, you are really amazing."

It can be seen that Xie Dailin admires the future sister-in-law very much, started a business in college, and it only took three years to achieve the company's current scale.

In her opinion, it is simply incredible.

Erbao interjected: "My eldest sister is ready to change careers to make movies, the first movie has already started filming, and it will be released as soon as next summer." ”

"Sister, is this true?"

Xie Dailin covered her mouth in surprise.

Making movies is too far away for their generation of young people.

After all, scarcity is expensive, and there are so many new movies released in China every year, plus the ticket prices are cheap, almost every one of them will be enthusiastically followed.

"Lin Lin, don't listen to Erbao's bragging, I'm just going to test the water this time, whether it can succeed or not, the company's main business is still advertising design."

Coco said modestly.

Making a movie is not an easy task, a "filming license" is difficult for more than ninety percent of film companies, and she also relied on the connections accumulated over the years to finally get her wish.

Xie Dailin said curiously: "Eldest sister, what type of movie does your company plan to make?" ”

"A literary film, to be precise, it should be a romance movie!" Coco replied with a smile.

The investment in literary films is small, and the risk is also small.

It is the safest choice at the moment.

"Literary films?" Erbao asked casually: "Is there a market for literary films?" What is the story of the movie? ”

"The name of the movie is "Going Home", and the story is set in the western riots of the beautiful country, mainly telling the story of a group of local Xia overseas Chinese returning to China with difficulty, and most of the scenes take place on passenger ships."

Coco gives a general introduction to the plot.

After hearing this, Erbao almost blurted out: "The Great Xia version of "Titanic"? ”

"We also want to make a blockbuster, but unfortunately the total budget of the project is less than 30 million, so we can't make such a big scene, and we can't shoot it if we want to!"

Coco shook her head helplessly.

"Who are the male and female leads? Can you get a celebrity? Erbao then asked.

"Of course you can, the male lead is Liu Ce, and the female lead is Liang Xiaomeng, and the combined salary of the two of them is just over one million. Now it is not as good as before, even if it is a popular star on the first line, the annual income is only one million. ”

"So low?"

Erbao and Xie Dailin were very surprised.

Ke Ke explained with a smile: "You don't look at how many works are released all year round? Typical monks have more porridge and less porridge, and the competition here is much more fierce than imagined.

Especially under the impact of the 'metaverse', the traditional film and television industry has declined rapidly, and I have heard that some out-of-fashion artists are even willing to take on dramas for free in order to maintain their popularity. ”

"So miserable?"

Xie Dailin exclaimed.

"If you want to say miserable, which line is not miserable now? At most, workers can barely make ends meet, and there are many restrictions on entrepreneurship and high policy risks, so perhaps entering the system is the best choice. ”

Coco said with heartfelt emotion.

Everyone is small in the big era.

Thanks to their father's efforts, their five siblings are qualified to choose the life they want, and they don't have to run for three meals a day.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Erbao hurriedly interrupted: "Who is the director of this movie?" ”

"Great director Ji Fangfang."

"Ji Fangfang? Female director? Why haven't you heard of it? ”

"Have you seen "The Fallen Man" released the year before last? This movie was made by her, and it won the Golden Rabbit Award for Best Director and Best Film in one fell swoop. ”

"That movie that reflects the current situation of European wet nurses?"

"That's right, this is it."

Erbao suddenly became pessimistic, and couldn't help but persuade:

"Eldest sister, you better hurry up and change the director, this Ji Fangfang is really not good, the movies she made are too boring, my eldest brother and I are about to fall asleep when they look at it."

"It's art, do you understand?"

"What art? If it's not good-looking, it's not good-looking, and it's useless to say more, don't lose money when the time comes. ”

Erbao reminded.

Coco shook his head: "Today's film industry is not what you think, making movies is not just about making money, but also about having a sense of social responsibility."

In other words, if you want to get ahead, you must win an award, and you must have artistic pursuits, which is a prerequisite and an admission ticket, and it is not negotiable. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I don't understand what I told you, you just need to remember one thing, the eldest sister has been in business for three years, she is not a white who doesn't know anything, she won't joke about her company's profits, and every step I take has its own considerations."

Coco said earnestly.

"Well, it looks like I'm overthinking."

Erbao thought about it carefully, and the eldest sister was right, she was a college student who had not yet graduated, whether it was experience or experience, she was definitely much inferior to the eldest sister.

"It's good that you get it." Keke nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Xie Dailin: "Lin Lin, are you not interested in making movies?" Do you want me to arrange a small role for you? ”

"Eldest sister, no need, I have no acting experience at all, so don't make trouble for you."

Xie Dailin hurriedly refused.

PS: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly passes!
