The summer morning sun was already hot, but it was also very bright, and the light reflected on the smooth floor was so piercing that the eyes couldn't open.

Chen Li'an got up and poured himself a glass of water, found the mobile phone that was turned off, and looked at it after opening it before he reacted, there has been no missed call reminder this year.

Chen Li'an glanced at the time on his phone, and was just about to wake up Zhou Gongzi when his phone suddenly rang.

The sudden ringing of the phone made the sleeping Zhou Gongzi can't help but turn over.

She was still wearing last night's Republic of China student uniform, but a white stocking on her calf was missing, the black pleated skirt had become wrinkled, and the light blue top buttons didn't know where it had been pulled.

Chen Li'an glanced at her, quickly answered the phone, and walked into the bathroom quickly.

"Hey, who's that?"

Cheng Shufen's voice immediately came from the other end of the phone:

"It's me, Li'an, when will you be able to Xiangjiang, Nanjing's Christ will be released in a few days, you come over and I'll take you on a few shows to promote it."

Chen Li'an leaned on the sink and asked, "Are you in a hurry?" ”

Cheng Shufen's tone was a little helpless and said, "I'm in a hurry, I called Ling last night, but I didn't get through." You'd better be there today and take you to the show tomorrow night. ”

Chen Li'an felt that he was really a hard worker, the Red River Valley had just been released, and he was going to participate in the propaganda of Christ in Nanjing.

"Okay, Sister Shufen, I'll try to get there tonight."

After talking to Cheng Shufen, Chen Li'an hung up the phone, went out and saw that Zhou Gongzi hadn't woken up yet, so he put on his clothes and went to the studio to find Feng Xiaoning by himself.

On a hot summer day, the temperature in the morning was like Lao Jun's alchemy furnace had been overturned, and the sultry heat was about to roast people.

Chen Li'an and Feng Xiaoning stood under the office building of Shanghai Film Studio, hiding in the shade and chatting.

"You're leaving today?" Feng Xiaoning took a puff of cigarette and said, "You are in too much of a hurry, today is the second day of the release." ”

Chen Li'an explained embarrassedly: "There is something temporary on the Xiangjiang side, and a movie made before is about to be released." ”

Feng Xiaoning nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to come back to celebrate the movie when it comes out." ”

"I try my best to go to the United States next month to hold an exhibition, and if I have time, I will come back to participate."

Feng Xiaoning's smoking hand paused, and he couldn't help but envy in his heart, looking at the development of people all over the world, and he had to pull investment everywhere to make a movie.

However, after the filming of Red River Valley, the factory should not be stuck in its own investment in the future, but I don't know if the box office can be stabilized in the future.

Now it is too difficult to make a movie and make a profit at the box office, and it is very difficult for film studios to rely on the box office to make profits and losses.

The film company can get only 36% of the share, and if a film with a 5 million investment wants to make a profit, it needs more than 15 million to make a profit.

But throughout the nineties, there were few films with a box office of more than 10 million, and after the film studio was responsible for its own profits and losses, if it only relied on the box office to make a profit, the northwest wind could not drink.

Therefore, major film studios are buying factory logos outside, and a movie will cost you hundreds of thousands of affiliation fees.

This is also the reason why many directors will not look for film studios to attract investment, and the film studios are poor and have no money to open their own projects, so they will give you investment? Let's play ball!

is like Huo Jianqi's winner, it took more than a year to invest in the factory, but he didn't get a penny, and finally got most of the investment from the outside, and Beijing Film Studio only invested so little.

Making a movie is a loss of money, so it's better to make a TV series.

After Chen Li'an said goodbye to Feng Xiaoning, he ran to see Ning Jing again, and she had to explain the pigeons she released last night.

However, Chen Li'an didn't deliberately release pigeons, who let Zhou Gongzi have a reward, but Ning Jing didn't.

In an office of Shanghai Film Studio, Chen Li'an pushed open the door and entered, looked at Ning Jing who was resting inside, and said, "Are you treated so well in the factory?" And its own office. ”

"What are you doing here?" Ning Jing didn't give Chen Li'an a good look, and she was angry at the thought of being released yesterday, which caused her to clip the quilt all night.

Chen Li'an sat opposite Ning Jing and said, "Come and see you, I'm leaving this afternoon." ”

"Let's go? Where to? Ning Jing looked at Chen Li'an and asked.

After Chen Li'an explained again, he said helplessly: "I booked a ticket for the afternoon, and I will go back to the hotel to get my things later." ”

Ning Jing looked at Chen Li'an and didn't speak, she hadn't enjoyed it for two days, this guy was leaving!

He must not be let go so easily, and her pigeons were released last night.

Ning Jing stood up and walked to the door, closed the lock with a snap, turned to look at Chen Li'an and said, "Make up for what you owe last night." ”

Chen Li'an: "." It's you, Ning Jing, you are really fierce!

This is an office, it's too exciting, Chen Li'an looked at the strong Ning Jing, and felt that he couldn't resist, so he simply accepted his fate, who let Shanghai Film Studio be Ning Jing's territory, and his dragon could only cooperate obediently.

"Don't take off your skirt, just lift it up!"

"Chen Li'an, how do you know so much?"

"Don't talk, yes, just hold on to the table and hold it firm."

"I'm your uncle."

More than half an hour later, Chen Li'an walked out of Ning Jing's office sweating, the summer was too hot, he sweated when he moved, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Chen Li'an calculated, Ning Jing's clothes are only wet and penetrating, and she won't be able to come out to meet people.

But now that the time is almost a little bit, Chen Li'an took a taxi back to the hotel and said a simple goodbye to Zhou Gongzi and immediately set off for the airport.

It's really troublesome to go to Xiangjiang and not be able to fly directly, obviously it's all domestic, but you have to turn around, and I don't know what to do.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Li'an got off the plane in Shencheng, and when he came out of the airport, Chen Li'an sat in a taxi and saw the billboard of Fong's VCCD, so he chatted with the driver's eldest brother.

"This Fong's has been very popular recently." Chen Li'an looked at the billboard and said.

The driver's eldest brother immediately became energetic and said to Chen Li'an: "You don't look at who is the spokesperson, Sophie Marceau!" This company is awesome! ”

"I've been doing activities recently, and if you buy it with Changhong and TCL's TV, you can get a nine-percent discount!" The driver's eldest brother said with a smile and said: "I bought one last week and went home, and I watch the disc every day, hehe, I'm almost finished watching Xiangjiang's third-level movies." ”

Chen Li'an: "." Don't laugh so obscenely!

The driver's eldest brother knew that Chen Li'an was going to Xiangjiang, so he said with emotion: "I really envy that person named Xu Jinjiang, who has taken a third-level photo with so many female stars, and he doesn't look as good as me!" ”

Chen Li'an listened silently, in fact, he was quite envious, why is there such a big gap between the painters.

But if someone really asks Chen Li'an to make a third-level film, he won't be able to act, and he can't afford to lose that person.

Teacher Xu Jinjiang also acted in this kind of film for his livelihood, otherwise a good Chinese painting painter, why would he act in this kind of movie, and it was not a real gun.

Chen Li'an couldn't help but be speechless as he listened to the driver babbling about sharing a few of his favorite films, this is about to become a master.

But he also likes this film when the peaches are ripe, and that's Li Lizhen.

Li Lizhen seems to be learning to paint, Chen Li'an can't understand why the painters in Xiangjiang like to run to the showbiz and act in third-level movies.

"It's good that I'm a painter from the mainland, otherwise it would be funny to shoot the third level." Chen Li'an muttered to himself and took out his luggage from the trunk of the taxi and walked towards the gate.

At this time, the high-rise buildings of Xiangjiang are exuding a charming light in the sunset, like the last afterglow of the city.

Chen Li'an looked at this scene and felt an irreversible end of the era from the inside, the history of Xiangjiang is finally about to change, and it is about to usher in new changes and return to the embrace of the motherland.

Chen Li'an didn't notify Wang Zuxian to pick him up this time, and called her two days ago to hear her say that she was busy doing academic research recently.

Chen Li'an didn't go to Wang Zuxian first, but went directly to Zhang Guorong's house, where Cheng Shufen was waiting for him.

The taxi soon took Chan to Yuen Long, who had not been to Cheung's house for a long time, but felt that nothing had changed.

There is still a familiar mahjong sound inside and the sound of Zhang Guorong saying that he just played the wrong card, Chen Li'an stood outside and couldn't help laughing, obviously his skills are so poor, and he likes to play cards so much, is it addicted to losing money.

Chen Li'an rang the doorbell, and soon the door opened, Mr. Tang looked at Chen Li'an and said with a smile: "Li'an, long time no see, come in." ”

"Mr. Tang, long time no see." Chen Li'an said politely, and after following him in, he saw Zhang Guorong, the princess, Liu Jialing and Cheng Shufen sitting together playing mahjong.

They are all old acquaintances, Chen Li'an put down the box in his hand and walked behind Zhang Guorong, and the princess looked at Chen Li'an who suddenly appeared and felt very resentful.

After Chen Li'an made a silent gesture at several women, he reached out to cover Zhang Guorong's eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey! Chen Li'an! Don't think I don't know it's you! Zhang Guorong shouted with a mahjong in his hand.

Chen Li'an laughed and shouted at the princess and the others: "Don't hurry up and look at his cards, he wants to play the big three yuan!" ”

Hearing Chen Li'an's words, Zhang Guorong immediately became anxious and shouted: "Don't even look at it!" ”

Zhang Guorong shouted, and stretched out his hand to deduct all his cards indiscriminately, but unfortunately the action was still a little slower, and the princess and Liu Jialing had already finished watching it.

Chen Li'an saw that the princess and Liu Jialing had finished reading it, so he let go of his hand and said to the angry Zhang Guorong: "They didn't see it." ”

Zhang Guorong snorted, looked at Chen Li'an, who was half a head taller than him, and really wanted to jump up and give him a kick.

Angry with the individual!

Chen Li'an didn't care about Zhang Guorong's reaction, stretched out his hand and hugged him and said, "Brother, I miss you so much if I haven't seen you for so long!" ”

Zhang Guorong, who originally wanted to scold, heard Chen Li'an's words, opened his mouth and swallowed the dirty words back, forget it, spare him this time.

Chen Li'an hugged Zhang Guorong and patted him on the back, squeezed his eyes at the several women behind him, looked at them covering their mouths and snickering, and then let go of his hand and said, "Brother, you keep playing, you will definitely win this one!" ”

Zhang Guorong snorted, slapped Chen Li'an and said, "With you holding me, it's strange that I can win." ”

"No, I've been super lucky lately, I'm passing on my luck to you." Chen Li'an pressed Zhang Guorong's shoulder and pushed him back to the mahjong table and sat down, and then said to the princesses: "You are finished, our brothers are of the same heart, and we will definitely win you all!" ”

"Cut! Who wouldn't say big things! Liu Jialing said unconvinced, glanced at the princess meaningfully, raised her eyebrows and said: "Even if you are husband and wife, you can't win me!" ”

Zhang Guorong thought that Liu Jialing was ridiculing himself and Chen Li'an, so he slapped the table angrily and shouted: "Come on, come on, you have to win all your money tonight!" ”

God husband and wife are of the same heart, Chen Li'an knew that Liu Jialing was talking about herself and the princess, so he turned his head and glanced at the princess, looked down, and sure enough, he saw that she was wearing black silk.

If you have black silk, you should play a few laps, with the princess's lucky black silk, he can definitely win Liu Jialing, and only pants are left to win!

But now that everyone is ready, Chen Li'an has no chance to play, so he can only give Zhang Guorong ideas on the side.

"It's stupid to fight big and not small, and it's stupid to play small*! Hit nine cylinders! ”

"There must be a pair of first four and then two, what are you fighting 40,000!"

Zhang Guorong listened to Chen Li'an's set of small words, and felt like he had been brainwashed, so he followed his mantra to play cards, and he didn't open his beard after a circle.

Chen Li'an looked at Zhang Guorong and hesitated about something, and immediately said: "Out of 80,000, the other side touched 60,000." ”

"Get out of your head! You can't see that I have seven, eight, nine! What kind of mantra are you? Zhang Guorong couldn't stand it and turned around and scolded Chen Li'an, and said angrily: "Hurry up and play, I will lose all if I listen to you again." ”

Chen Li'an smacked his lips regretfully and said, "Okay, then I won't speak." ”

Chen Li'an said this, but he raised his eyebrows proudly at the princess, just now he deliberately gave Zhang Guorong a bad idea, which made the princess laugh several times.

Zhang Guorong was still in the dark, but he simply thought that Chen Li'an's card skills were too poor and he commanded blindly.

Only the princess was secretly laughing, and the original resentment towards Chen Li'an in her heart also dissipated a lot.

Chen Li'an saw the princess smiling, and the corners of her mouth also showed a smile, and the princess was also addicted to cards, so it was easy to get rid of her little temper.

It's just that Zhang Guorong suffered and lost several times in vain. Chen Li'an felt that he was really sorry for his brother, and he was thinking about making him a breakfast tomorrow as an apology.

After a while, Cheng Shufen saw that the time was too late, so she took the initiative to ask Mr. Tang to play for her for a while, and talked to Chen Li'an alone about the promotion of the movie.

Chen Li'an and Cheng Shufen sat in the living room, chatting casually, saying that the newly bought property she and Wang Zuxian had been dismantled and reassembled, and they also said that they would be on the show tomorrow.

"Have you ever watched the TV show here in Xiangjiang?" Cheng Shufen asked with a smile.

Chen Li'an nodded and said, "I saw that there was no defense tonight, and my brother also shared his first night on it. But it's a pity that this show is gone. ”

Cheng Shufen couldn't help laughing, looked at Chen Li'an and said: "The show we will be on tomorrow is also a talk show, there are Guorong and Zhang Manyu, originally Yasuko Tomita was going to come over, but her office temporarily arranged an event for her, so she could only come back when it was the premiere." ”

Chen Li'an nodded and said, "No problem, don't let me go to that prize gate." ”

Cheng Shufen asked curiously: "Why, this show is very popular." ”

"I don't like that host, it's bad and stupid." Chen Li'an shrugged his shoulders and said, "And that kind of show is not suitable for me, it's better to talk show." ”

Cheng Shufen didn't expect Chen Li'an to have a lot of opinions about Zeng Zhiyi, but she didn't have a good impression of this person, Chen Li'an was right, bad and stupid!

Cheng Shufen looked at Chen Li'an and said, "I won't let you participate in that kind of show, in fact, you are the most suitable for tonight without defense, and only those few people can talk to you." ”

"I don't talk to a few old men, they can't make pornographic jokes about me, a few people sit together and share their first night experience." Chen Li'an took a sip of water and said: "It's still a beauty like Zhang Manyu who is more suitable for me, and it would be better if it was Zhou Huimin or Li Lizhen." ”

Cheng Shufen: "." Do you think you're here to pick up girls!

Chen Li'an put down the cup in his hand and suddenly asked, "Sister Shufen, are you familiar with the two of them?" I'd love to get acquainted. ”

"I don't know you yet!" Cheng Shufen looked at Chen Li'an angrily and said, "Be careful, I tell Zu Xian!" ”

Chen Li'an: "." was careless, forgetting that Cheng Shufen and Wang Zuxian had been very close recently.

After the two chatted for a while, Cheng Shufen left, and Chen Li'an also took over from Mr. Tang at the card table, sat in the princess's house, and winked at her secretly.

The princess glanced at Chen Li'an, but her foot under the card table still kicked off her shoes and reached out to Chen Li'an's hand.

Chen Li'an reached out and grabbed the princess's little feet, scratched the center of her feet, and the princess glared at her with a roll of her eyes.

"Li'an, what are you doing, it's your turn to draw cards!" Zhang Guorong urged on the other side.

Chen Li'an calmly let go of the princess's feet, looked at him and said, "I'm enchanting my hand, I'll let you know later, how powerful my mahjong formula is!" ”

"Come on, come! Let's see who loses it all tonight! ”
