Chapter 69: 590 million box office, who is slapped in the face?

March 22.

"The Year in a Hurry" ushered in its closing date 38 days after its release, and the final box office was set at 590 million.

The box office performance surpassed that of "Journey to the Center of the Earth 2" and was only one place behind "Mission: Impossible 4", temporarily ranking second in the 2012 box office list.

"Lao Xiao, congratulations."

"I should be the one congratulating Mr. Chen for making a lot of money this time."

Chen Heyu actually invested 2 million yuan in this drama, which helped him earn 101 million yuan, with a return rate of 5000%.

Xiao Yang finished filming the scene of "The Brother Who Sleeps on My Upper Bunk" and left the post-production work to Ma Qiang. He was busy working on the "Manslaughter" project non-stop. He sent out audition notices in the industry to find suitable actors.

"How are the preparations for "Manslaughter"? Have you found all the actors?"

Continuing to make youth romance dramas will inevitably give the audience the impression that they are a waste of money. The goal of Shanhai Film and Television is to become the largest and most powerful film and television production company in China. In the future, it will also enter the heart of the beautiful country. How can it be limited to one genre?

on-chip.

"There is an audition in the afternoon. Mr. Chen will come with us to help with the audition?"

Xiao Yang touched her hair. It was her first time on the big screen, and she had to be responsible for two roles: director and male lead. She felt somewhat unconfident.

"No problem, what time is it? Remind me when the time comes."

Chen Heyu nodded, and then continued: "I have an appointment with Lao Hu at noon, do you want to come with me?"

"Forget it, there is still a lot of work waiting for me."

Xiao Yang stood up, shook his head and sighed.

…

"Boss Chen, congratulations. The movie has made a lot of money. Do you want to settle last month's bills?"

Hu Ge smiled warmly and came over to give him a hug.

"I can get credit based on my ability, why should I pay the bill?"

"Mr. Cai has also made a lot of money this time. Think about it, I am still at a loss."

Chen Heyu curled his lips and made a joke. When the show first started, he would not have found the coal boss to invest if he had not had money. Sugar recruiters also value the other party's resources and connections.

"I'm treating you today and I'll make up for it for you."

Lao Hu pulled him to sit down, waved to the waiter to arrange it, and then asked: "Want a bottle of plum wine?"

"There is an audition in the afternoon, so I won't drink."

Chen Heyu smiled and rejected Lao Hu's proposal.

"Have you read the script?"

Chen Heyu picked up the small teapot on the table and poured two cups of tea. One of them was pushed to Lao Hu. He took a sip of the hot tea and asked casually.

"It's such a good book, do you really want me to act in it? Don't let me go."

Lao Hu picked up the tea cup with a smile, looking excited, but he was also afraid that Chen Heyu would break the appointment, so he emphasized it again.

"The male protagonist must be yours. He can't run away. Is there a problem now? I need your help."

"As long as you tell me whether to attract investment or find actors, it's just a matter of one sentence."

Hu Ge patted his chest and said with confidence.

"There is still a shortage of directors who can shoot costumes. This kind of strategy drama will probably go wrong if there is no experienced person in charge. In other aspects, we also need a group of outstanding service personnel."

Chen Heyu finished speaking with a smile and threw the problem to Lao Hu.

Everyone knows that Tang Ren is an expert in making costume dramas, and there are a lot of old wizards in the company.

"Pfft! What do you mean? You want me to help you poach the candy man's corner?"

Hu Ge's eyes widened, he spit out a mouthful of tea, and looked at Chen Heyu in disbelief.

"This is called a good bird choosing a tree to roost in. Instead of wasting time nestling among sugary people, it is better to join the mountains and seas and move toward a better future."

Chen Haoyu said nonsense, if it weren't for the lack of support from the personnel department, would he have the need to recruit people himself?

"No, no, how about I help you talk to Mr. Cai and lend you a group of people?"

Hu Ge thought of a compromise.

"No, I still hope to find a director who is willing to join Shanhai. Teacher Fu Huadao can slowly dig in."

Chen Heyu slowly raised his head, unwilling to compromise.

After thinking for a few minutes, Hu Ge made up his mind and said, "I'll ask you first. I can't guarantee that it will work."

"I can rest assured that you will do the work. When will the director take over, we will start filming."

Chen Heyu smiled slightly, seeing that his goal was achieved, he stopped talking and concentrated on the delicious food in front of him.

Hu Ge, on the other hand, looked distracted, thinking about how to swing the hoe.

Directors who are famous or powerful in the company will definitely have no chance. They can only target executive directors and assistant directors. On the one hand, their ability and experience are no problem, but on the other hand, they have stronger ambitions and are easily persuaded.

Taking stock of several alternatives, he silently compared them in his mind, trying to find the best candidate. After all, he was the male lead in "Nirvana in Fire", so the director couldn't be careless.

Chen Heyu glanced at Lao Hu and saw that he was distracted, with a smile of success on his lips.

After dinner, I said goodbye to Hu Ge.

After getting on the bus, ask the driver to return to the company. He had always relied on taxis for short distances before and found it inconvenient. The human resources department arranged a driver to facilitate his daily travel.

After returning to the office, I lay on the sofa and squinted for a while. I heard Lao Xiao's knock on the door and saw that it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

"Which characters are there today?"

Chen Heyu rubbed his face to feel more awake and asked Xiao Yang.

"Mainly the heroine. For the rest, we can find some well-known veteran actors. They are cheap and good. The role of Li Ping was given to Tan Songyun."

While talking, Xiao Yang carefully observed the boss's micro-expressions and found nothing unusual. It seemed that he was overthinking.

Mr. Chen probably just thinks the role is suitable.

"It's very good. Let's go. I'll go over there with you and take a look."

Chen Heyu picked up his coat and asked Lao Xiao to lead the way, intending to meet the actresses with the best acting skills of this era.

Outside the audition room.

There are many female artists here today, including Bai He who became popular with chick flicks, Magnolia Queen Song Jia, shopkeeper Tong Yan Ni, and the original heroine Tan Zhuo.

The audition interviewers were Chen Heyu, Xiao Yang, the producer and the film's casting director.

First introduce yourself, then pick out a scene and improvise.

The order of interviews is determined by the size of the roles. The acting skills of several big names are indeed good. Chen Heyu has level 5 acting skills, and his appreciation is still online.

"Mr. Chen, who do you think was there just now?"

Xiao Yang also called him Mr. Chen in formal occasions and asked with a smile.

"You make your own decision, after all, I am choosing a wife for you."

Chen Heyu joked that the heroine, who played Ayu in the play, was indeed Xiao Yang's wife, after he pointed it out.

The producer and casting director next to him also laughed, leaving Lao Xiao alone to ponder.

"Look again, there are still artists from several companies."

Xiao Yang couldn't decide for the moment, so he could only continue the interview to see if there were any better candidates.

The huge box office results of "The Year in a Hurry" made some colleagues in the industry see the strong production standards of Shanhai Film and Television. When they heard that this drama was originally written by Chen Heyu, they immediately found connections and sent suitable artists from the company.

Naturally, we have to meet him, otherwise we will offend a lot of artist companies.

Among the female artists behind him, there was no candidate that stood out to him. After several people communicated and discussed, the role was still given to Tan Zhuo. She was famous for her role as the heroine in "Mr. Tree". Lao Xiao felt more at ease when she was cast in the role.

.

"Brother Ha Yu!"

When the young daughter of the male protagonist was interviewed, the second person who walked in was actually Zhao Jingmai. The two of them had guest-starred as a "couple" in "Want to See You" last time.

"Long time no see, little sister."

Chen Heyu responded with a smile and motioned for her to start first.

This role was played by all child actors. Apart from Zhao Jingmai, the only actress born after 2000 is Zhang Zifeng, who has good acting skills. Unfortunately, she did not come.

"Give it to her, there should be no problem."

After the audition, Chen Heyu spoke, and Lao Xiao nodded, wrote down Zhao Jingmai's name, and told the casting director to arrange for the signing of the contract.

The remaining actors are basically veteran actors with superb acting skills to improve the quality of the movie.
