In the afternoon, Chen Feng took his cousin, Li Dazhi, Jiang Xiaobai, and Chu Jianlin on a flight back to Chen Feng's Linzhou, the provincial capital of Donglin Province. This is a tourist city and a port.
It has a developed economy and a large population.
Therefore, it accounts for a large proportion of the domestic movie box office. In addition, Chen Feng is from Donglin Province, so it is very suitable for him to choose this as the first stop for his roadshow promotion.
It only took more than an hour to fly from Beijing to Linzhou. After arriving at the place, Chen Feng and his party went straight to Wuyue Square, the largest square in the provincial capital where Tiandi Cinema is located.
At this time, promotional posters had been hung outside the gate of Wuyue Plaza, where Linzhou's largest Tiandi Cinema is located, stating that the creators of "Charlotte Trouble" would come to the square to meet moviegoers today.
After Chen Feng and his group got off the plane, the person in charge of Tiandi Cinema in Linzhou personally drove over and took them to the square.
Then, after resting in the office of the person in charge for almost half an hour, he was taken to a performance stage in Wuyue Square. It was a temporary stage built on a large open space on the first floor of the square.
The Tiandi Cinema Company here was responsible for all these preparations, because Tiandi Cinema is the largest investor in "Charlotte Trouble". Therefore, after the headquarters in Beijing issued an order, theaters across the country
Branch offices must actively cooperate. This is a major event related to further expanding the box office of the "Charlotte Troubles" movie. Of course, everyone is very cooperative when it comes to making money.
Chen Feng took Li Dazhi, Jiang Xiaobai, and Chu Jianlin to the temporary stage.
Because it's a commercial plaza, it's the annual holiday, and it's still a provincial city like I'm leaving, there are still a lot of people in the mall.
As soon as Chen Feng took the stage, many people in the mall recognized him. However, many people shouted "Charlotte" and only a few people called him "Chen Feng", which made Chen Feng dumbfounded.
By the time the host came on stage, a large number of people had quickly gathered around the temporary stage. The railings on the second and third floors were also quickly filled with people. They could also see the temporary stage from above from above.
It can be seen that Chen Feng's current popularity is still quite good. Otherwise, he is not a handsome guy and a beautiful woman, so he would not have gathered so many people to watch in a short time. As for Jiang Xiaobai and the others, they have no sense of presence, and they can
Just ignore it.
After a beautifully dressed female host came on stage, she began hosting and asking questions to Chen Feng and others. The promotion of "Charlotte Troubles" had officially begun.
There were four of them in total. The female host asked Chen Feng four questions about the movie, and the other three asked two questions each. They were all about some of the more interesting shots and scenes in their movie, or the shooting.
Some behind-the-scenes footage and stories from this movie.
These problems were all figured out with the help of Tiandi Cinemas, and Chen Feng did not interfere. In this movie roadshow promotion event, Chen Feng was really passive. Tiandi Cinemas was very passive.
Take the initiative. After learning that Chen Feng agreed to return to China to promote the movie more than ten days ago, he made all the arrangements.
Finally, Chen Feng sang the movie's theme song "Just Once" at the host's request.
The entire promotional event lasted for almost an hour. Most of the time was spent with the host asking questions, and the four people took turns telling some interesting things about the filming of the movie. This made everyone's impression of the movie "Charlotte Trouble" even more
Deeper and more curious.
Finally, of course Chen Feng personally called on the audience to help promote the movie and bring family and friends to watch it.
Chen Feng doesn't know how effective this will be, but it will definitely have some effect. At least his coming here this time will increase the film's popularity among the local media and people.
In this way, the promotional activities in Linzhou were over. Chen Feng did not rush to the next city immediately like the main creative staff of other movies. Instead, he took his cousin Wenxiu and two bodyguards, rented a car and went back to his hometown.
.
Even with a smooth highway, it took almost six hours to get back to the small mountain village of my hometown from the provincial capital.
When I got home, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. My parents had been awake waiting for him to come back.
Because it was late at night, the car was parked in front of the house that had been demolished and rebuilt, and no one noticed it.
However, the father Chen Dayong and mother Zhao Xiaolan in the house immediately heard the noise and hurriedly came out and opened the door.
"Xiao Feng? Come in! Come in!" Zhao Xiaolan was full of joy and waved to the car. At the same time, she opened the door of her villa to let the car drive in.
Chen Feng is now prosperous and has no shortage of money. Of course, he will not treat his parents badly in this life. As early as the last time Chen Feng returned to Beijing, his parents used the money Chen Feng left for them to knock down the old house and rebuild it.
Originally, their home was just an old two-story floor-to-ceiling house. At most, there was a short house next to it that used to be a pigsty. But now it has been built into a three-story self-contained house covering an area of almost three acres, with a front yard and a backyard.
Build a duplex villa.
The style of the villa is European style. It is unique in their small mountain village and is very grand. But in fact, it only cost more than 300,000 yuan. This included the money spent to buy the two floors of the original neighbor's house.
Almost 80,000 yuan. It only cost more than 200,000 yuan to build the villa.
I can only say that the housing prices in this small mountain village are really worthless, and labor and building materials are much cheaper than in the city.
The car entered the yard, and the old couple closed the big iron gate in the yard again in tacit agreement.
Chen Feng got out of the car and shouted "Mom and Dad" to the old couple with a happy face.
The couple happily agreed, and Zhao Xiaolan happily pulled Chen Feng into the house to have dinner.
Entering the first floor is the lobby, which is very large, and the most eye-catching thing is a long and large dining table.
At this time, it was filled with at least a dozen dishes, and they were still steaming.
"His dad, go and get Xiaofeng some food. He hasn't eaten yet when he comes back. Come on, Xiaofeng, sit down and take a few bites of the food first. These dishes are all freshly heated. You mentioned that you were in the county seat before.
, I started to heat it up for you, it’s just right now.”
While Zhao Xiaolan ordered Chen Dayong, she pulled Chen Feng to sit down at the dining table.
"Mom, I'll do it myself. How can I ask dad to prepare food for me?" Chen Feng was a little embarrassed.
Before Zhao Xiaolan said anything, Chen Dayong said cheerfully: "You are the backbone of our family now. It doesn't matter if dad makes you a bowl of rice, he just gives you a slap on the back."
"Go, go, go. Where is all this nonsense? Go and get some food. Xiaofeng is hungry." Zhao Xiaolan was still very strong.
Chen Dayong was not angry and continued to go to the kitchen to prepare food happily.
"Son, you don't know, your dad's life now... He doesn't even want to do farm work. He wanders around all day long, and he can't even stay in the village or town. Either he goes to the county or the city.
He also got some kind of representative here. He has to go to the county for meetings every three days. I don’t know if he is actually going to the meeting. He doesn’t care much about things in the factory now, so I have to keep an eye on you every day.
Let’s talk about it, whether it’s irritating or not.”
Chen Feng could only smile and comfort him: "Mom, I am a big star now, and I have a net worth of hundreds of millions. How can I still let my father farm? Besides, how much food can we produce with the little mountainous land we have?
It's better not to plant. As for if dad is willing to go to the county or city, you can just let him go. He didn't have the chance to go before, but there is nothing wrong with going often now. Of course, he can't work too hard. As a representative
If you are willing to do it, just go for it. If you don’t want to, don’t do it. In addition, I have told you before. If you are willing to move to the capital, you can go there after the Chinese New Year. Others, counties and cities
Anything in it is fine too.”
"We won't go to the capital." Chen Dayong came out of the kitchen with a bowl of rice, "However, I want to buy a house in the county. This way, if your mother and I go to the county in the future, we will have a place to stay.
Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to come back on the same day, so I would have to stay in a hotel. Moreover, as I become a county representative, I will often go to the county to handle business..."
"Only you can." Zhao Xiaolan said dissatisfied, "Do you know anyone in the county? After buying the house, how many days a week can you live there? No matter how rich your son is, he can't waste it like this."
Chen Dayong retorted: "How can this be called a waste? The houses in the county are now very valuable, and the prices have been rising over the years. And now a new house in Xincheng is more than 120 square meters, and it only costs about 60
Ten thousand yuan, more than five thousand yuan per square meter, which is really cheap compared to other places. I think it will definitely increase in price in the future, so buying it now is considered an investment."
After all, Zhao Xiaolan was just a rural woman and did not have the knowledge of Chen Dayong. When she heard this, she felt that it made sense and did not refute again, but just looked at Chen Feng.
Chen Feng nodded simply and said: "What Dad said makes sense. Current housing prices are still rising nationwide. Even if they fall slightly in some places, they will eventually rise. At present, investing in buying a house is indeed a good way to preserve value.
.Dad, if you like it, then buy one in the county. I will transfer five million to your account in two days. You and Mom can discuss how to spend the money, so you don’t need to ask me."
Chen Feng still has almost an extension of his net worth in the bank. He doesn’t know how to spend it. It’s easy to spend five million to honor his parents. What’s more, in more than a month at most, the movie "Charlotte" will have more than 100 million yuan.
The share of the box office will be reduced. In addition, Beauty Beauty Company will wait until Tina's first album sells well and will receive the money back soon.
In addition, his first piano single is also selling well around the world, with a cumulative sales of nearly two million copies. He has already booked the crown of the world's best-selling piano single this year. And he has already won two awards.
More than a million dollars in first installment royalties.
With so much money now, Chen Feng can only put it in the bank to earn interest, which is undoubtedly the stupidest thing to do. Therefore, Chen Feng plans to use it to invest in industry.
Chen Dayong and his wife don't know exactly how much their son is worth now. They only know that he made hundreds of millions in his last movie. Even so, they have underestimated their son's net worth.
The husband and wife were happy, but at the same time, they were also a little trembling because of the 5 million filial piety they received from their son.
Zhao Xiaolan was the first to object: "No. Your dad has already raised his tail to the sky. Besides, you gave him one million to build a house last time, but he only used more than half a million, and there are still 400,000 left."
I haven't paid back tens of thousands of dollars to you yet. If you give him so much more money, what's the point?"
Chen Feng thought about it. His father was indeed a little too bold. Especially, his mother just said that he didn't even care about the bamboo products factory. Chen Feng also felt that something was wrong. Don't go farming.
It's understandable, but this bamboo product factory cost hundreds of thousands of real money to build, so it would be unjustifiable for you to ignore it.
Besides, men become bad when they have money. This truth is often true. He doesn't want to cause a rift between his parents because of his money.
"Okay. Listen to me, let me transfer this money to your account." Chen Feng said in a good-hearted manner.
Zhao Xiaolan was a little flustered. This was five million, not five hundred yuan.
"Son, why don't you give me half a million yuan first? I'm so worried about holding so much money."
Chen Dayong said angrily: "You are flustered, but I am not. Son, just call me directly. I will never spend money randomly."
When Chen Feng heard this, he immediately looked at Chen Dayong with a suspicious look on his face, and said with a faint smile: "Dad, listen to Mom, you don't even care about the bamboo products factory."
"No. How could you not care?" Chen Dayong immediately denied, "Don't listen to your mother's nonsense. Just a few days ago, I had to go to the county or city for a meeting or something. I was busy, so I didn't go to the factory. But I go to the factory every day.
I made several phone calls to your uncle Liu. Your uncle is now in charge of the production work in the factory. I think he is doing a good job, and since he is busy, he doesn’t go to the factory much. But this doesn’t mean he doesn’t care.
"
The so-called sixth uncle is Chen Feng's cousin, a cousin of his father. The original owner has no memory of him, and he only met Chen Feng after he came here last time. He is a weaver of bamboo products.
Master. Chen Feng doesn’t know about other aspects.
Zhao Xiaolan frowned and said: "Although Lao Liu has good work ability, he is not the boss after all. If you don't go to the factory often, over time, there is no guarantee that Lao Liu will not have other thoughts."
"With Lao Liu's temper, what can he think? At most, I can give him a salary increase. How dare he line his own pockets? The accountant in the factory is also the village accountant, and the village also has shares in the factory. If he dares
For corruption, many people report him."
"That's what I say, but you are still the director of the factory after all. You can't go several days without seeing anyone, right?"
"Okay, okay. It doesn't make any sense for me to be the director of the factory now. After the New Year, I will go to the village and ask everyone to choose another factory director. If possible, let Lao Liu be the director of the factory.
alright."
When Chen Feng heard this, he finally realized that his father had changed. He had become a little too ambitious. And this change was undoubtedly brought about by his cheap son.
