Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 84: Hiring a life assistant? (110 first order)
After walking the red carpet with Dong Xuan, Li Qiutang had completed the task of increasing her exposure. She sat at the scene for 5 minutes and then slipped away.

Anyway, there were so many people at the scene that no one paid attention to him.

Dong Xuan, who was sitting next to him, was a little depressed. He had wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Li Qiutang and build a good relationship with her, but his plan was ruined.

Li Qiutang is going to Zhuolu this time, and the crew is setting up interior scenes in the film and television studio there.

Zhuolu is very close to Yanjing, and Li Qiutang drove herself, and it was not dark when she arrived.

The workers are still working hard and the crew is pushing them very hard.

In terms of engineering, the crew of "The Sound of Wind" spent a lot of energy, and started construction in Tianjin, Zhuolu and Bincheng simultaneously, striving to complete what the crew wanted in 3-4 months.

Especially the Bincheng Chuang Guandong Film and Television City, which was built for "Chuang Guandong Part Two" which is about to start shooting this year. When the crew of "The Sound of the Wind" saw that there were residential scenes needed in its plan, they took advantage of the "Chuang Guandong" crew and asked the film and television city to speed up the construction of residential scenes as well.

Qiuzhuang was also built on the coast of Bincheng, so there would be no need to move when the time comes.

There is no stage for the interior scenes needed for "The Sound of the Wind" yet, and the studio is very messy.

Li Qiutang watched the scene for more than ten minutes and then left.

How can you not eat donkey meat hotpot when you come to Zhuolu?

Li Qiutang doesn't eat much donkey meat, but the few times he tried it left a deep impression on him. It was indeed fragrant and delicious.

Li Qiutang stayed in Zhuolu for two days. When he left, his assistant complained to him: "Are you here to work or to eat?"

It seems that these two days I have spent more time shopping and eating than at the construction site.

After leaving Zhuolu, Li Qiutang went to Tianjin again. The crew of "The Sound of the Wind" wanted to transform the innovative folk street here for filming.

Just as people in Yanjing don’t eat Quanjude, people in Tianjin don’t eat Goubuli.

"They are all deceiving you outsiders."

Li Qiutang is from another place, but he has been to Tianjin many times before, so he naturally would not be fooled.

By the time he finished eating in Tianjin, no, after visiting the project and returned to Yanjing, it was already Sunday afternoon.

Yesterday, the total box office of "No One" officially exceeded 1.02 million, closing at million. Huayi decided to hold a grand celebration banquet for "No One" next Tuesday.

An investment of 3000 million in exchange for a box office of 1 million seems to just break even or make a small profit.

But the account cannot be calculated in this way. What Huayi wants is the sign of breaking the 100 million mark. In today's market, breaking the 100 million mark is just a gimmick, not to mention that Li Qiutang is so young. Huayi can definitely brag that they have produced the youngest director in the country who has broken the 100 million mark. If they are a little ruthless, Wang Zhonglei can even tell the media that there is no other director in the world as young as Li Qiutang who has broken the 100 million mark.

These are intangible assets that are beneficial to the company.

Not to mention, Huayi’s own share of the sales of “No One in My Heart” had already recovered more than half of the cost before the film was released.

Huayi did not fail to suspect that Li Qiutang was making money, but these seemed less important in the face of the billion-dollar achievement.

The key point is that after "No One", "The Forbidden Kingdom" was seamlessly connected, and the latter's profit prospects are also very good. In the past month or so, Huayi's presence in the market has been too high.

The celebration banquet was indeed very grand, with many people, both acquaintances and strangers, coming.

Li Qiutang received 20 business cards and five pieces of paper with her phone number and lip prints in one night.

Can professional players also come in for this kind of occasion?
The smashing of 100000000 ice cubes was the climax of the entire celebration banquet. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhonglei announced another piece of news after smashing the ice cubes:
"Today is not only a celebration party for "No One Is Righteous", but also the press conference for "Famous"!"

There was a buzz at the scene, and everyone started talking.

Wang Zhonglei was very satisfied with the current atmosphere and announced with a smile: "Director Li Qiutang's new film "Famous" has passed the review and will meet you on June 6!"

The scene was abuzz! I came to attend a celebration party, but I didn't expect there would be such an unexpected surprise!
Huayi is planning to clear out all its goods before the Olympics.

You are right. Huayi is planning to clear out its stock before the Olympics, and this is also what Li Qiutang meant.

In July there is "Red Cliff", which is the biggest project of Chinese film company in the past two years. No one wants to get involved with it. In August there are the Olympics. No one is so blind as to release a movie in August to compete with the Olympics for audiences.

The National Day holiday is still half a year away, and Li Qiutang doesn't want the battle to be dragged out too long. Besides, he will definitely be busy with "The Whistleblower" by then and won't be able to spare the time and energy to work on "Famous".

While "The Sound of Wind" has not started filming yet and I am still busy, I quickly finished "To Be Famous".

Of course, Huayi is not the only film company that holds this idea. As of today, more than 15 films have been confirmed to be released in June.

The summer season can be said to have arrived early, but although the numbers have increased, the spending power of the summer season has not increased!
June is full of changes.

After the celebration banquet, Li Qiutang once again rejected Wang Zhonglei's invitation to discuss contract renewal, saying that they would wait until "The Sound of Wind" was finished before discussing it.

Li Qiutang expressed her understanding of Wang Zhonglei's concerns and promised not to discuss job-hopping with a second film company before the filming of "The Sound of Wind" was completed.

This is what Li Qiutang has always meant. Since she has agreed to make three movies for Huayi, she should finish them well and talk about the rest after that. There is no need to rush.

Li Qiutang drank a few glasses of wine at the celebration banquet and let his assistant drive the car.

In the car, the assistant said to him: "Director, do you want to hire a life assistant for you?"

Li Qiutang opened the car window a little to let in some fresh air, but didn't react: "Life assistant? Why would I need an assistant in my life?"

The assistant made it clearer: "I see you are usually quite lonely."

At this point, Li Qiutang understood, waved his hand, and said, "Let's not do this."

As a director who is doing quite well so far, Li Qiutang had plenty of opportunities to do these things, but he didn't. He wanted to have a serious relationship - it's just that he hasn't met anyone he likes yet - and other than that he just wanted to do something good.

"You have a girlfriend, right?" Li Qiutang asked his assistant. This assistant was assigned to him by Huayi and was paid by Huayi, but Li Qiutang would give him some subsidies from time to time.

"We talked about it, hehe."

"Is your girlfriend satisfied with your job?" Being an assistant to someone else sounds less respectable than sitting in an office and typing away at a keyboard.

"Not bad." The assistant smiled as he drove the car. "The key is that she can meet many celebrities. She is quite satisfied with this."

After sending Li Qiutang to the apartment, the assistant also went back.

"No One" has basically reached the ceiling of breaking 100 million yuan, with "The Forbidden Kingdom" and "Iron Man" taking over the market. This should be the performance of "No One".

Li Qiutang was of course extremely satisfied with the result. At the beginning, he was very worried about the revised version of "Arrogant", not sure whether the audience would like it.

His initial expectation was 5000 million. Now that the publicity and promotion costs are not expensive, "Arrogant" can make a profit with 5000 million.

In fact, in today's film market, it is already a great achievement if you don't lose money. If you can make a little money, you can become a guest of honor of the film company.

Li Qiutang became the youngest member of the billion-yuan club, so what is there to be dissatisfied about?

"That's right, Zhou Xun has already given you, why are you not satisfied?" Everyone was discussing the casting of "The Sound of Wind", and the first one to be chosen was Gu Xiaomeng.

But Li Qiutang still wants Li Bingbing.

Li Bingbing is counting on "The Forbidden Kingdom" to open the door to the international market for her, and is not considering "The Whistleblower" for the time being.

But Li Qiutang insisted to Li Bingbing: "Leave Li Ningyu alone, we will go through the others first."
