On this day, Bai Shuo was doing work, and suddenly there was a loud knock on the office door.
Bai Shuo then thought that Xiao Lin had gone to deal with the trouble caused by the residents of several towns in the south today and was not here.
"Please come in!"
The door did not open, but after a while there was another knock.
"Come in, the door is unlocked!" Bai Shuo said loudly.
But the door still didn't open, and there was another knock on the door.
Could it be that his voice can't be heard outside the door? Bai Shuo wondered. But he immediately denied this idea, because every time Xiao Lin came in, he usually knocked on the door first, and only opened the door after hearing his instructions.
It stands to reason that even if Xiao Lin is not there, there are other people outside. Why would people keep knocking on the door like this?
Finally, Bai Shuo stood up angrily and came to the door in person to open it.
"I said you couldn't hear me..."
Before he finished speaking, a stunningly beautiful face came into view. He was so beautiful that Bai Shuo couldn't express his temper and just stood there dumbfounded.
"What? Aren't you happy to have your boss Bai go out in person to greet me?"
"Ah...ah! How could it be? Of course it's an honor. As a big star like you, coming here, I'm afraid you have to bring some glory to my barren land..." Bai Shuo smiled happily.
The person who came was none other than Chen Bing, the most popular singer in China at the moment.
"What brought you, beautiful lady Chen, here? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I should have picked you up. It wasn't a long journey."
"How many years have it been since you promised to bring me here to see the curtain? You didn't invite me, so you had to come by yourself."
Bai Shuo smiled awkwardly and said: "Isn't there construction everywhere? It's messy and dirty right now. I want to wait until it starts to take shape in a few years before inviting you to come and promote it for us."
Chen Bing: "How many years will it take? It's a long wait. I just want to see what this place looked like at the beginning."
Bai Shuo: "But...but if you come now, this is not the time to watch the curtain light."
Chen Bing smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, you are enough."
Bai Shuo was stunned: "I... I don't have anything interesting to look at. I'm not an orangutan in the zoo."
Chen Bing chuckled: "Hey...who wants to see the orangutan because it's dark and ugly?"
Bai Shuo brought Chen Bing to the sofa and sat down, then went to pour Chen Bing a cup of tea.
"It's the Lapsang Souchong you like to drink. You gave me this box."
Chen Bing took the tea and took a sip gently: "Haha, I finally came here, so you can use my own things to kill me."
"No way, I'll invite you to try the most authentic lemon duck and beer fish here later. By the way, the fat beef in sour soup is also good."
"don't want!"
Bai Shuo was slightly startled: "Why, you don't want to eat? Are you trying to lose weight?"
Chen Bing smiled and said: "No...you let me taste all the delicacies here in one go. Are you planning to let me get out of here as soon as possible after eating?"
Bai Shuo: "Uh..."
Chen Bing: "I don't plan to leave so soon. Please give me the same arrangements for one day, at least for half a month."
Bai Shuo scratched his head: "Haha, no problem. But what are you doing here? It will take you half a month?"
"There are two music videos for new songs recently, and they are going to be filmed here. When the time comes, I will indicate the shooting location on the music video, which can be regarded as advertising for you."
Bai Shuo smiled slyly: "It doesn't matter if it's widely advertised or not. If you say this place is indeed a good place with outstanding people, your MV will definitely become popular because of it. As for the filming fee... I'll give you a friendly discount..."
Chen Bing said in surprise: "Ha... I help you advertise for free and you still charge me for filming? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
"Oh, Miss Chen, do you still care about this little money? Besides, if the production cost of this MV is too low, it will not be good for it to be spread. I am thinking about you."
Chen Bingbing snorted: "Ha! I'm so touched... But I can take the food as I wish, but I don't need money, but I do have someone who does. Anyway, I'll just leave you here to see what you do!"
Bai Shuo: "Okay, but with your status as Miss Chen, the filming fee is a bit expensive."
Chen Bing's eyes widened and he said, "What, you really dare to ask for it?!"
Bai Shuo laughed and said: "Haha, there's nothing to be afraid of. Anyway, you are mine from now on... Uh..."
Speaking of this, Bai Shuo suddenly paused, recalling that there was something wrong with what he said. He glanced at Chen Bing, who was now shy and angry, and his face was a little crimson.
"Haha... It seems it's getting late. Let's go, let's go have lunch first." Bai Shuo pretended to look at the time and changed the subject.
"Okay! If you dare to take advantage of me, I will give you a good beating today."
Bai Shuo called Liang Ying, Cao An, Zhu Zhu and a large group of people to a restaurant on the edge of the county town to welcome Chen Bing. However, Bai Shuo was afraid that Chen Bing wouldn't be used to the taste here, so he specifically asked the boss to cook it.
Two dishes suitable for Chen Bing’s taste.
During the dinner, everyone talked about the development of Shengshi Huazhang Company over the years. Chen Bing told everyone that Shengshi Huazhang Company had a revenue of 800 million in the first half of this year, and it is expected that the annual receivables can exceed 2 billion. Moreover, Shengshi Huazhang Company is currently going
It is a diversified development route, and many projects are still in the investment stage. It is expected that there will be explosive growth in the next two to three years.
Chen Bing's words shocked everyone. A company that was founded less than three years ago has grown so fast, and has now become a leading enterprise in the domestic cultural and entertainment industry. It has to be said that in addition to getting Bai Shuo and everyone
In addition to his strong support, Nie Dong’s ability should not be underestimated.
"What are these? We have worked hard for more than half a year and it is not as good as what Brother Bai Shuo has achieved these days. He has helped our company earn more than one billion. This is a net profit."
Seeing Chen Bing's admiring look on his face, Bai Shuo coughed twice and said: "These achievements now are nothing. Chen Bing is right. By next year, the Shengshi Cinemas invested by Shengshi Huazhang Company in various places will gradually
After completion, when cinema lines and commercial real estate support each other and form an influential brand across the country, then Shengshi Huazhang will usher in its first round of explosive growth."
"What? So there will be a second or even third round?" everyone asked curiously.
"certainly!"
Bai Shuo nodded and said: "Commercial real estate and theater economy are just a profit model created by Shengshi Huazhang Company. The core competitiveness of Shengshi Huazhang Company in the future will be in cultural communication. Through various forms and channels to the world
Carry forward our cultural heritage and let the world feel the charm of China again. Not to mention anything else, just the cultural heritage things that Shengshi Huazhang is investing in now seem to have no benefit at all, but I believe in these things
The value will be gradually reflected, and the value created by then will be far higher than that of Shengshi Cinema."
Bai Shuo's words made everyone once again full of expectations for the future of Shengshi Huazhang Company.
However, Bai Shuo changed his voice and continued: "But, these are still too far away. At present, Shengshi Huazhang Company must first focus on film production and theater construction. This round of economic crisis has affected the output of foreign films.
It has been greatly reduced, which has given us an opportunity for domestic development. And with the people's growing demand for cultural life, our domestic box office this year is expected to exceed 6 billion, which will be significantly higher than in previous years, and I believe that for a long time to come
This trend will continue. Therefore, Shengshi Huazhang Company still has to hurry up and make more films and make good films in order to lay a solid foundation for being an industry leader."
At this time, Cao An suddenly asked Chen Bing: "Hey...Sister Bing, Brother Shuo said that there are development opportunities in the film industry, but it seems that I haven't seen any new films of yours released this year."
Chen Bing suddenly seemed a little embarrassed, but he quickly said frankly: "There were quite a few movies released last year, and although the box office was pretty good, they ultimately relied on scripts, investment, and the results gained from popularity. I looked carefully.
After watching the film, I feel that I am still lacking in acting, so this year I plan to further improve and polish my acting skills. As for filming, there is only one film scheduled for this year. I hope that it will be a high-quality film, and I don’t want to show off.
Something immature for the audience.”
No one expected that Chen Bing already had such a great reputation, yet he still had strict requirements for himself like a newcomer.
Cao An: "Sister Bing, what other acting skills do you need? As long as you appear in the picture, even if you don't move, it will be enough to stun the whole audience."
Chen Bing was stunned for a moment and said: "Are you saying that I am a vase?"
Cao An knew he had said the wrong thing and quickly explained: "Oh, I didn't mean that. I was praising Sister Bing for your beauty..."
At this time, Liang Ying on the side said with a smile: "I think the vase is very good. People say that if you don't have good looks, you need acting skills to make it up. Many people want to be a vase but don't have the conditions."
"I don't want to make a vase." Chen Bing pouted and said, "Even if I want to make a vase, it must be a vase with good foundation."
Bai Shuo looked at Chen Bing and said seriously: "Actually, I think I still have to focus on my own strengths. Now is no longer the era of singing and acting. You are so good at singing, you should work more on this.
As for kung fu, you should strive to become a world-class singer. As for acting, it’s okay to just play around.”
Chen Bing looked at Bai Shuo and thought seriously for a while, then suddenly said: "No! I will definitely do my best in singing, but I will not give up in acting."
"That might be very hard!"
Chen Bing: "I'm not afraid of hard work. I remember you once said, brother, that times are different now, especially the golden age of music development has passed. The future will be an era of great integration of various arts and cultures. I don't want to just do
As a singer, I hope to contribute more to the coming of this great era."
