Shanghai.

The entrance of Huaying International Cinema.

"Why don't we watch "Tai Chi"? The leading actors are all big stars on Hong Kong Island, and there are also Peng Yuyan and Yang Beibi ......"

"Humph! Don't think I don't know your bad thoughts, do you want to see Yang Beibi? You have to watch Manslaughter today, I said! ”

The girl stomped her feet in dissatisfaction and refuted her boyfriend's proposal.

"Then watch "Manslaughter", who is Yang Beibi, baby, in fact, I am face blind."

The boy whispered and said in a low voice, and glanced at the stills of the north nose, and his heart hurt so much.

"It's pretty much the same, go buy a ticket, I'm going to have popcorn."

The girl smiled.

……

This year's National Day film market is very cold, and the highly anticipated "Tai Chi: Starting from Zero" was crushed and beaten by the Haolaiwu blockbuster "Ring Messenger" less than three days after its release.

Fortunately, "Manslaughter" took over in time, crushing the other party with an unbeatable attitude on the first day, and the box office results became stronger and stronger after word-of-mouth fermentation.

The seven-day National Day file, plus the box office on the first day, has a cumulative total of 440 million!

Compared with the box office progress of "Mission Impossible 4" and "Titanic" when it was re-released, if it plays stably in the later stage, it can be said that "Manslaughter" has successfully booked the box office champion in 2012.

"Well done, I'll ask my assistant to send you an invitation to come to Yancheng in April next year to participate in the 2013 Film Science and Technology Innovation Summit."

"Okay, third master, I will definitely arrive on time."

Xiao Yang hunched his waist, his face full of spring breeze, and replied cautiously with the phone.

"Look at your face, don't hide in the office, lest it ruin my mood."

Chen Hayu frowned, stopped tapping on the keyboard, and gave him a disdainful look.

"This is a conference that only top filmmakers can attend, and I never dreamed of it before."

After Xiao Yang finished the call, he sat on the chair, his body writhing excitedly, as if there was a stove under his stomach.

"This movie has a billion-dollar box office, what's there to be excited about?"

Chen Heyu sneered that future blockbuster movies will start with billions at every turn, whether it is a director or an actor, if there is no work that breaks 3 billion, he will be embarrassed to go out and blow it.

Tens of billions of box office actors are piled up, what is one billion?

"Heyu, thank you, if you hadn't pulled me, I guess my brother wouldn't know where to shoot the advertisement now."

Xiao Yang faced Mr. Chen's verbal blow, but he was grateful, and stood up and thanked him in a proper manner.

"If you really want to thank me, go out and publicize it and help me make more money."

Chen Heyu said with a smile, annoyed by Xiao Yang and couldn't calm down, so he simply closed the computer and sat in front of the tea tray on the side to drink tea.

"The publicity is scheduled in the afternoon, and there are three movie theaters to run today, hehe, Mr. Chen, what type of new script are you writing?"

After Xiao Yang finished speaking, he came up with the idea of a new movie again.

"Manslaughter Part II, interested?"

Chen Heyu took a sip of tea and replied casually.

The theme of science fiction or fantasy movies is his real goal, but the total number of plates in the film market in the past two years is less than 20 billion, and the cost of special effects remains high.

It is difficult to keep guests without wine, and it is difficult to raise fish in shallow water, he knows this truth very well.

So you can only choose between suspense, love, and comedy themes, otherwise you will only waste a good script.

"Or am I going to star?"

Xiao Yang asked with a grin.

"You can change people if you want."

Chen Heyu teased with a smile.

"What is the plot about? Is it a continuation of the ending of the first part, re-created? ”

Xiao Yang couldn't help but be curious, sat down again, poured himself a cup of tea, and asked directly.

"Changed the background of the story, the male protagonist is an ordinary screenwriter, the life of a family of three was peaceful and peaceful, but his son suddenly fell ill and needed heart replacement surgery."

"Before the operation, the heart was missing......

"Imminent?"

Xiao Yang listened to it for a while, felt that the plot of this story was very familiar, and suddenly remembered this old movie from 2002.

"That's right, the company has won the adaptation rights, and I will make some more localized modifications to strive to surpass the first one."

Chen Heyu nodded and replied frankly.

There are actually a lot of popular IPs in Huaguo, but most of them have been buried, such as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", the core of which is a top-level exploration treasure hunting novel, if the adaptation is successful, it will definitely not lose to the "Mummy" or "Tomb Raider" series of the beautiful country.

But such an excellent IP has only given birth to a bunch of bad movies, and it is a pity that there are no well-made online dramas.

"Hehe, then bother with it, I'll go out and earn money for you."

After Xiao Yang got the information he wanted, Mei Zizi said goodbye, after all, as the male protagonist + director of "Manslaughter", he has a box office dividend, although the proportion is not high, but with the current box office results of "Manslaughter", the guarantee is more than 10 million.

Therefore, he worked harder than anyone else when he ran the notice, and in order to buy a house in Shanghai, he still owed Chen Heyu millions of loans, and he didn't know when he would be able to pay it off.

Chen Heyu didn't respond, sat back in his seat, sorted out the plot in his mind, and continued to write the script.

The afternoon sun is warm and gentle, and the blue sky and white clouds are elegant and quiet.

"Knock knock!"

"Come in!"

Chen Heyu didn't bother to look up, his hands fluttering on the keyboard.

"Mr. Chen, do you have time today? I would like to treat you to a meal and thank you for saving your life last time in Siam. ”

Tan Songyun said as she peeked at him, and the sunlight fell on Chen Heyu's cheeks through the glass window.

The fair skin is soaked in the light, and the fine fluff can be faintly seen, the facial features are hard and straight, and the rich eyebrows make people tremble.

"You're my employee, of course I have to protect you when you're away."

Chen Heyu's afterglow swept over Tan Songyun and found that her face was flushed, and she looked particularly childish when she put it on the baby's face.

That's right, she is only 22 years old this year, and she is indeed young and tender enough.

"Eat is free, just film well in the future to help the company make money, let's go out first, I still have something to do."

Chen Heyu ruthlessly refused, and was not interested in going out to eat with a little girl, although in terms of actual age, Tan Songyun was two years older than him.

"Well, thank you, boss."

Tan Songyun was in a low mood, and walked out with her head buried.

"It seems that if we want to open a few more dramas, there will be only a few artists in the company, and they will have nothing to do all day long, and people will be disheartened after a long time."

Chen Heyu shook his head, if he doesn't squeeze them hard, how can he know how powerful the capitalists are.

remembered that after Li Xian's kid recently finished filming "The Brother Who Slept on My Top Bunk", the schedule was also empty, so it was better to make another TV series and make use of resources.

Just do it!

After having a clear goal, Chen Heyu quickly finished writing the script of "Manslaughter 2", and then called Zhang Peng, the manager of the IP operation department.

"Let's find out, is the copyright of the book "The Best of Us" still in the hands of the author? Buy it if it's no problem. ”

Chen Heyu commanded.

Today's Shanhai Film and Television is strong and strong, except for a few scripts that he needs to handle personally, the rest is basically handed over to the editorial department or IP department.

"Mr. Chen, our company bought the copyright of this book last year."

"Okay, I see."

Chen Heyu waved his hand, motioned for him to leave, thought about it and notified the person in charge of the personnel department, asking her to quickly recruit another TV director who can shoot youth dramas.

Otherwise, this project can't be carried out, Shanhai has three directors, all of whom are in the crew, or they are running publicity and can't transfer people.
