After the few people in the middle finished talking, Huang Lei wanted to go in to help, but Su's mother drove him out directly, saying that there was no reason to let the guests take action.
Thanks to the renovation this time, a new table was installed. Otherwise, six people would not be able to sit down there before.
The red wine and white wine had all been opened, and the rice wine had long been gone, and it was too troublesome to send it, so I didn’t bother my Korean friends.
There were many people today and I was happy, so when Lao Su decided to have a drink, Su’s mother didn’t stop her. Anyway, the three of them didn’t plan to go back at night. If they drank too much, they could just go back to the hotel and sleep.
Tons, tons, tons, tons, Su Yan won’t let it go, so he poured a glass for the three of them first.
"Xiaoyan, give me half a glass of red wine. I also want to pay tribute to your colleagues. Thank you so much for coming all the way to help me."
"Okay, then I won't drink. Yoona, please drink with me. I'll drive later."
Lin Xiaoyun was already a little eager to try it, but after hearing this, she was extremely happy and acted cute there.
"Then I'll stay with Yi Diu."
Then Diancha poured more than half the cup.
"Dad! What can you say?"
Su Yan suggested with a smile.
Lao Su originally refused, but everyone was making noises, so he raised his glass.
"I don't have any skills, and I don't know how to speak. A few years ago, I wouldn't have imagined meeting a big star like you, let alone sitting and drinking together like this."
Huang Lei wanted to speak, but Su's father smiled and raised his hand.
"Originally, Xiaoyan's mother and I didn't have any wishes. We just wanted to see him start a family and start a business as soon as possible without becoming rich. After all, he is such a child and we have never been able to give him any support. We feel sorry for him.
Fortunately, Xiaoyan strives for his own success. The most important thing is that he can meet noble people like you, who must have helped him a lot. This is why he has achieved some achievements now. Please help him more in the future."
Lao Wang and the others also nodded repeatedly.
"Now that we are finally married, we are both relieved. I would like to toast everyone with this glass of wine. Everything will go smoothly and safely in the future!"
"cheers!"
Su Yan also drank a glass of ice cream, brought from his own shop.
"Come on, come on, don't just drink, have some food." Lao Su had already forgotten about cooking himself.
"Auntie, your cooking is really good. It tastes better than my mother's." Chichi continued to flatter her while peeling the shrimps.
Mother Su was pleased to hear this.
Lao Su actually doesn't drink well, he just likes to drink a little, mainly because Lao Wang and Huang Lei are more powerful.
Especially Mr. Wang, as a northerner and the CEO of the company, he usually socializes a lot. If you really want to talk about his drinking capacity, he probably can't drink enough for a whole table of people.
"That's right!" Lao Wang suddenly thought while holding the cup: ""The End of the World" is ready to be released in North America."
"Oh!" Su Yan peeled a shrimp for Yoona: "Can I still go abroad?"
"At any rate, the box office is 2 billion. In addition to North America, South Korea, France, and many other countries, negotiations have been completed."
“How many theaters is it showing?”
"There are 300 companies in North America. Don't feel aggrieved. After all, you are on someone else's territory."
"No, I didn't mean that. It would be nice to have more income." Su Yan smiled.
It is still difficult for domestic films to enter the European and American markets. At present, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Ang Lee has exceeded 100 million US dollars and won an Oscar statuette. The rest are all 120 million US dollars.
That's amazing.
Of course, this is also because Ang Lee is well-known in North America, and Fa Ge, Zhang Ziyi, and Michelle Yeoh all worked in Hollywood. In 2000, foreigners were fascinated by kung fu. A series of reasons led to such a high box office.
The cultural differences cannot be bridged, and domestic films do not rely on CG, so it is normal that they are not taken seriously.
Su Yan had the same idea as he said, Hua Xia Luo Hua, the investment has been earned back, no matter which country it continues to be released, no matter how much, as long as it can make money.
"Actually, it's pretty good now. You know, Wu Jing's "The Wandering Earth" sold very well in China two years ago. In North America, there are only about 60 of them, and...most of the people watching it are Chinese people there.
Huang Lei breathed out: "In terms of movies, we have made great progress, but it is undeniable that there are still certain gaps in terms of personnel, technology, and other aspects."
"Yes!" Lao Wang clinked glasses with Su's father: "I have met many directors, and they are all very envious of Director Su."
"Me?" Su Yan was holding a piece of paper to wipe the corners of Yoona's mouth.
"Yeah, don't you know? In fact, most directors may not be able to receive a project with an investment of 500 million in this life. No, even 100 million is very difficult. Most of them claim to only make literary films. Do you think they
Do you really think so? In fact, it’s not the case. It’s because they have no resources, no qualifications, and no one trusts them.”
Lao Wang also said this after drinking some wine.
"TV drama directors want to make movies, while small investors want commercial films. Why? Because most people's taste is commercial films. If you want to be famous and make money, you can only go here.
Of course, there are some shameless ones who blame the audience for not being able to understand the garbage they produced and the box office performance is not good, and they blame the theater for not showing the film. They don’t even think about it. The audience is not blind, and it’s not like they haven’t seen anything big a few decades ago.
The scene, even the existing film schedule is empty and no one is watching, but he is licking his face and bombarding it.
If you fail to position yourself correctly and offend your parents, you are not worthy of being called a filmmaker."
"Yes!" Huang Lei also said with emotion: "When Su Yan made this movie, many director companies were waiting to see our joke. Although Qinghe only took more than 100 million, if we lose, we will lose.
, but the main reason is that I have a bad reputation and invest blindly, but in fact I am also jealous. I am jealous that Su Yan is at the top when he debuts. Fortunately, the result did not disappoint us, and I gave these people a slap in the face."
"Oh, this is a family gathering, why are we talking about such a serious topic?"
When Chen Chichi saw the worried eyes of her uncle and aunt, she understood that Su Yan had definitely not told her parents about these stressful things, so she tried to smooth things over.
"What will happen to the film market and what will happen to other directors are not something we can control. Besides, our company is not making money, so that's fine. I made a guest appearance and received a performance fee and a big red envelope. I
I should have learned from Director Su and invested some money at that time."
"Hey, you know, Irene, she is Hu Shuai's friend." Yoona remembered, she told herself: "When he wanted to invest, Irene also wanted to invest, but Oppa thought she had little money, so he just wanted to invest."
After she got out, I wonder if Lao Hu gave her any money..."
"No matter how much money is divided, we are all part of the same family." Huang Lei said with a smile: "When the time comes, we will directly poach her to our company, and then nothing will happen."
"By the way, Director Su, how much is your directing fee this time? I heard from Mr. Wang that many scripts are coming to me now and they want you to film them."
"What are you thinking! Director Su is free, but he announced that it is 10 million plus bonuses. Didn't I send you a message? Didn't you see it?" Lao Wang shook his head.
"What time is it now? If young people read messages, if there is something important in the future, they can directly call and send WeChat messages." Chichi took out his mobile phone: "Look, unread, now besides 10086, there are banks, there are basically no
People text me.”
Lao Su couldn't help but feel proud. His son has really made a difference. The money he's talking about now is hundreds of millions, and the movie is still being released in the United States. It's really unimaginable.
"I forgot to ask you something." Huang Lei replaced the white ones with red ones, and he only took a few taels.
"Lao Wang said you are planning to open a show for him next year?"
"Yes! I think that our cooperation with Shonan must continue, but "Grandpas Over Flowers" has not been scheduled for a long time, and Teacher He has also helped a lot. It doesn't matter who we cooperate with, Director Song is not short of money.
,Why, Teacher Huang is also interested?"
"Forget it!" Huang Lei waved his hand: "One Wuchao is enough for me to drink a pot, and running man, plus the TV series, I am not your age and full of energy, you let Chichi go.
"
"I'm totally OK!" Chi Chi said she was very willing.
"Okay, I'll count you in, but it's still early, let's talk about it then."
"But Director Su, how long do you plan to rest?"
"I don't know!" Su Yan glanced at the family members next to him: "I will definitely not move this year. I will stay at home with my parents. We will see next year."
"You really should rest." Lao Wang understood very well: "In the past few years, I have been traveling around the world non-stop, and I am not very productive. Other directors shoot one show for several years, but you shoot several shows a year, which is already very, very good.
"
"That's right, don't run out of inspiration by then!"
Because she drank liquor, the soup was consumed quickly. Mother Su stood up and said, "I'll make another soup."
"Auntie, you do it, I'll do it!"
Huang Lei rolled up his sleeves and walked directly to the kitchen.
"How embarrassing is this!"
Chi Chi advised there: "It's okay, Auntie, just let Teacher Huang do it. He likes cooking."
In less than ten minutes, a simple mushroom and meat soup was served.
"I put some pepper, you all have a taste."
So, everyone started drinking there snoringly.
Chichi's face was a little red, and he probably drank half a bottle of red wine.
"Fortunately, you came today. If it had been the past few days, I would have been raising him at home."
"What's wrong with you? You still look so round. What's wrong with you?"
"No, it's just heatstroke. I'm dizzy and uncomfortable."
"Did you go to the hospital?"
"Why should I see a doctor for this little problem? I'm scared!"
Everyone was laughing there.
Chi Chi was a little unconvinced: "Really, I think the way doctors talk is really different from ordinary people.
Many words, when we say them, are normal, but if it were them, it would be very strange...
For example, if you want to chat with someone and they say, Oops! You are so young, aren’t you very happy to hear that?
But if you go to the hospital, the doctor tells you, oh, you are so young..."
"Pfft hahahaha!"
"It seems so."
"I usually don't pay attention."
"That makes sense."
Chi Chi looked interested and got excited.
"For another example, if someone invites you to dinner and says, you can eat whatever you want, that sounds very happy.
When you go to the hospital, if the doctor says this to you..."
With Chi Chi as a living treasure, everyone had a very happy meal, chatting and laughing, which lasted until about ten o'clock.
Huang Lei and the others also wanted to help with the ratings, but Su Yan couldn't agree, so he just pulled him downstairs, handed him over, sat with him for a while, and then left.
They will go back with Chi Chi tomorrow morning, and they still have work to do.
