Shanghai City.

The entrance of Huaying International Cinema.

"How about we still watch "Tai Chi"? The main actors are all big stars from Hong Kong, including Peng Yuyan and Yang Beibi..."

"Hmph! Don't think that I don't know your bad intentions. Do you want to watch Yang Beibi? You must watch "Manslaughter" today, I said so!"

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

"Then let's watch "Manslaughter". Who is Yang Beibi? Baby, I'm actually face blind."

The boy said in a low voice to please him. He glanced at the stills of Bei Bi from the corner of his eye and felt so painful in his heart.

"That's pretty much it. Go buy a ticket. I also want to eat popcorn."

The girl then smiled.

…

This year's National Day movie market is very cold. "Tai Chi: From Zero", which had high hopes, was overshadowed by the Hollywood blockbuster "Looper" within three days of its release.

Fortunately, "Manslaughter" was picked up in time and overwhelmed its rivals with an unrivaled attitude on the first day. Its box office performance has become even stronger after word-of-mouth fertilization.

During the seven-day National Day period, including the first-day box office, the cumulative total is 440 million!

Compared with the box office progress of "Mission: Impossible 4" and the re-release of "Titanic" in the same period, if it performs stably in the later period, it can be said that "Manslaughter" has successfully booked the box office championship in 2012.

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

"Okay, Third Master, I will definitely be there on time."

Xiao Yang bowed his waist, his face full of spring breeze, and answered carefully while holding the phone.

"Look at the sullen look on your face, don't stay in the office, so as not to ruin my mood."

Chen Heyu frowned, stopped typing on the keyboard, and gave him a contemptuous look.

"This is a conference that only top filmmakers can attend. Before, I would never have dreamed of it."

After Xiao Yang finished making the call, he sat down on the chair, his body twisting excitedly, as if there was a stove under his butt.

"This movie has a box office of over 1 billion, what's so exciting about it?"

Chen Heyu laughed and said that future blockbuster movies will easily start in the billions, and no matter the director or the actor, they will be embarrassed to go out and brag if they don't have a work that exceeds 3 billion.

Actors with tens of billions in box office are all gathered together, so what is a billion?

"He Yu, thank you. If you hadn't helped me, I probably wouldn't have known where to shoot the commercial now."

Faced with Mr. Chen's verbal attack, Xiao Yang looked grateful and stood up to express his thanks.

"I really wanted to thank me, so I went out to promote it and help me make more money."

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

"The promotion is scheduled for the afternoon. There are three cinemas to visit today. Hey, 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.

"Manslaughter Part 2, are you interested?"

Chen Heyu took a sip of tea and replied casually.

Sci-fi or fantasy movies are his real goal, but the total value of the movie market in the past two years has been less than 20 billion, and the cost of special effects remains high. If it is forced to be shot, there is a high probability that it will lose money.

It's hard to keep guests without wine, and it's hard to raise fish in shallow water. He knows this very well.

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

"Or should I be the leading actor?"

Xiao Yang asked with a smile.

"You can change someone if you want."

Chen Heyu teased with a smile.

"What is the plot roughly about? Is it a continuation of the ending of the first part and a re-creation?"

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

"In a different story setting, the male protagonist is an ordinary screenwriter. Originally, a family of three lived a peaceful and peaceful life, but their son suddenly became ill and needed a heart transplant."

"Before the operation, the heart disappeared..."

"Is it imminent?"

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

"Yes, the company has won the rights to adapt it. I will make some more localization modifications to try to surpass the first one."

Chen Heyu nodded and answered frankly.

There are actually many popular IPs in China, but most of them have been buried. For example, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", at its core is a top-notch adventure treasure hunt novel. If it is adapted successfully, it will definitely be as good as "The Mummy" or "Tomb Raider" from the beautiful country.

"Shadow" series.

However, such an excellent IP has only produced a bunch of bad movies, and there are no well-produced web dramas, which is a pity.

"Hey, if you bother, I'll go out and make money for you."

After Xiao Yang got the information he wanted, he said goodbye happily. After all, as the male protagonist and director of "Manslaughter", he will get a share of the movie's box office dividends. Although the proportion is not high, based on the current box office performance of "Manslaughter", the minimum guarantee is 10 million.

above.

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

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

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

"Dong dong dong!"

"Come in!"

Chen Heyu was too lazy to look up, his hands flying on the keyboard.

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

As Tan Songyun spoke, he glanced at him secretly. The sunlight passed through the glass window and fell on Chen Heyu's cheek.

The fair skin is immersed in the light, and the fine hair can be vaguely seen. The lines of the facial features are strong and straight, and the thick eyebrows make people's hearts tremble.

"You are my employee. Of course I must protect you when you go out."

Chen Heyu glanced at Tan Songyun with his peripheral vision and found that her face was red and looked particularly childish on her baby face.

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

"Eating is free. From now on, just keep filming and help the company make money. Let's go out first. I still have things to do."

Chen Heyu refused ruthlessly and had no interest in going out to eat with a little girl, even though Tan Songyun was two years older than him in actual age.

"Okay, thank you boss."

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

"It looks like there are going to be a few more dramas, and the company only has a few artists, and they have nothing to do all day long. After a long time, people become distracted."

Chen Heyu shook his head. If he didn't squeeze them hard, how could he know how powerful the capitalists were.

I remembered that after that boy Li Xian recently finished filming "The Brother Who Sleeps on My Upper Bunk", his schedule is empty, so why not make another TV series to make use of resources.

Just do it!

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

"Let's find out, does the author still have the copyright for the book "The Best of Us"? If you don't have any problem, buy it."

Chen Heyu ordered.

Today's Shanhai Film and Television has a strong team. Except for a few scripts that require his own writing, the rest are basically handed over to the editorial department or IP department.

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

"Okay, I get it."

Chen Heyu waved his hand and signaled him to leave. After thinking for a while, he informed the person in charge of the personnel department and asked her to quickly recruit another TV director who could shoot youth dramas.

Otherwise, this project cannot be carried out. There are only three directors in Shanhai, and all of them are on the crew, or they are running promotions and cannot mobilize manpower.

Please collect and follow up. Gentlemen, this is the last wave of recommendations. If you win, you will go to the fourth round. Whether you can do it or not depends on everyone.
