Chapter 287 Bob wants to retire

Liu Yifei only stayed with her for a New Year's Eve dinner on the 30th, and left after the meal.

She had a lot of events and parties at the end of the year, so she made time to come over for this meal.

"Apologise to grandpa and me." Liu Yifei said to Cheng Yu'an before getting in the car and leaving.

"It's okay, they all understand." After putting his girlfriend in the car, Cheng Yu'an also left.

The Spring Festival Gala is getting more and more boring, especially this year.

After watching it for a while, the two old men decided that it was not interesting and went to rest. Cheng Yu'an was stunned to see Uncle Motosugi's "Donation" and sighed after reading it before going back.

Cheng Yuan's phone calls didn't stop all night.

"Happy New Year, Mr. Ren, let's go, let's have tea together then."

"No problem, no problem, Mr. Wang, as long as it's suitable, you can bring it over."

"Happy New Year to Director Han. I won't be working on any big movies anymore. Let's take a break and bring some new people to the company. No problem, no problem. I'll give you the script as soon as I have it."

"I just make hard money in the United States. I don't have a distribution channel in the United States. They distribute it all over the world. How can I get in. At most, I can just send a DVD and sell it to a video website and that's the end of it."

Some people called to pay New Year greetings, and some came to set up projects in the name of New Year greetings.

"Boss, Happy new year!" The caller was Bob, a foreigner waiting eagerly for the Lunar New Year to call and say New Year greetings.

"Bob, are you feeling well?" Cheng Yu'an asked with concern.

"It's okay. I believe I can still hold on for a while, but you need to find a successor for me as soon as possible. Judy is already making a doctor's appointment for me. I'm afraid I can't work for you anymore."

"Okay, Bob, I hope you can hold on until May. At that time, I will send someone to take over the company's affairs."

Bob's health is getting worse day by day. Judy no longer allows him to overwork. Bob is also trying to delegate power to the following people: "g. James and Ray wrote a new horror film script called "The Further"

"("Foreign Spirit", the original title of "Insidious")."

"Whatever, his horror movies don't cost much, so you don't need to report this to me." James Wan's horror movies cost three to five million, and Cheng Yu'an has always been created by him.

"g, I bought the rights to adapt a novel before, and it will be released next month."

"what story?"

"The book is called "The Dark Fields". It was written by a little-known Irish writer. It tells the story of a lost writer who accidentally got a magic medicine. After taking it, he can do anything. However, this medicine also has strong side effects. He is addicted to it.

In the efficacy of the miracle medicine, but also gradually lost in the side effects of the miracle medicine."

Cheng Yu'an felt that this story was very familiar and thought, isn't this the "Super Body"?

But he remembered that there was no original novel for "Super Body", so he asked Bob: "What is the name of the movie? Who are you planning to hire to star in it?"

"The movie is called "Never Ending" and stars Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro."

"Ok," Cheng Yu'an realized that this was not "Super Body", but another drug-related adventure film that was earlier than "Super Body", "This movie sounds good, and the cost is not too high, so don't worry about it.

Come on, Bob."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yu'an thought, "Never Ending" has been done, so there is no reason to let "Super Body" go.

The two films are very similar, but their focus is different. "Never End" has more literary drama, and the hooks are relatively restrained. "Super Body" is full of cheats, the action scenes are very exciting, and in the end, Lucy will never die.

Become a god.

To put it simply, the two films use the same setting, but "Super Body" is more enjoyable and naturally has a higher box office.

Fireworks and firecrackers have been banned in the capital for a long time. Cheng Yuan was writing scripts in an empty house until late at night. There was not even a ghost screaming outside the window. During this period, Liu Yifei called him and talked to him for a while. Cheng Yuan saw that it was not early.

Okay, so I took a shower and went to sleep.

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, Cheng Yuan came to the company first.

"Happy New Year, Director Cheng."

"Happy New Year."

"Hello, Director Cheng."

"Okay, okay."

Distance media is still inhumane and has no holidays this year, and those who work in this industry have no holidays at all.

But fortunately, Remote Media has money, and various subsidies, gifts, and overtime pay are provided, and they even get off work early during holidays. For example, today, except for essential employees, Remote Media only works for half a day and can leave at 2 p.m.

"Is the zero o'clock box office out?" Cheng Yu'an saw Cheng Lingfeng looking at something.

"It's out." Cheng Lingfeng read to the paper, "The box office of "33 Days of Love" at midnight was 1.38 million. Including the previous on-demand screenings, the box office exceeded 2.1 million."

Cheng Yu'an nodded and did not react.

But Cheng Lingfeng was very excited: "0.2 million, I can collect 20 million on the first day, and breaking 100 million in the first week shouldn't be a problem. The cost of this film is only 8 million. There is such good news on the first day of the new year, I can have a good year

Already."

Cheng Yu'an had expected that "33 Days of Love" would achieve such good results. He told his aunt: "Bob is retiring."

"Bob? Which Bob?" Cheng Lingfeng reacted, "Your American manager, right? Isn't he just in his fifties and retiring?"

"He is not in good health. After working for a few months, he went to see a doctor for recuperation." Cheng Yu'an turned his attention to his little aunt, "I don't worry about giving it to others in the United States, so you can go."

Cheng Lingfeng smiled and said: "It's not impossible for me to go. What will we do if I go to the United States?"

"Recruit a professional manager to take charge, or let Zhi laugh at you if it doesn't work," Cheng Yu'an said.

"Zhi Xi can't do it. She's a production company and she's too young to be the boss." Cheng Lingfeng said, "I do have a good candidate."

"who?"

"Ah Zhong Lifeng."

"Who did I think you could dig out?"

"I have talked with her before. She has already become the general manager of Pony Pictures and the vice president of Pony Group. It is impossible for her to be promoted further. Pony is a family company, and she herself feels resistance within the group. Even if

If you don’t tell me, I will recruit her to come over and become my vice president.”

"Oh, I understand." Cheng Yuan said with a smile, "So when you asked Xiao Ma to collaborate on "33 Days of Love", it was Zhong Lifang's idea."

"Yeah. I've thought about it, if "The Dark Side" will cooperate with Xiao Ma again and find opportunities to contact me again, as long as she relents, I can dig her over in June at the latest."

"Why does your script sound so familiar to me?" Cheng Yu'an said.

"This is how Huayi poached Chen Guofu." Cheng Lingfeng didn't know what Cheng Yu'an wanted to say.

On the other side, the beaming crew of "33 Days After Love" were out in the field for promotions.

"33 Days Out" grossed 2 million at the box office, becoming the biggest dark horse during the Spring Festival.

Who would have thought that this film could stand out from the fierce competition.

A relatively new actor, Teng Huatao is also a newcomer in the film industry.

"Thank you very much for the love from the audience," screenwriter Bao Jingjing said on the stage. This film is only as good as her script. "I wrote this story online after I had a fight with my boyfriend. I didn't expect Mr. Cheng to see it.

, she thought the story was pretty good, so she contacted me and said she wanted to adapt my story. I thought, hell, quarrel with me, I’ll just use your story to make some money, and then I got this script.”

Ha ha ha ha!!

Bao Jingjing’s speech won applause from the audience.

"There is a TV series to be shot later. As for movies, it depends on the company's arrangements." Yang Mi said, "I feel like I am lucky to receive such a good script. The main reason is that the story is good, and I don't pay much attention to big productions and so on."
