Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 170: 5 Million Director Celebration Banquet
"Mom, it's lively anyway, so why don't you come? I'll take you around Yanjing."

"We won't go. We don't know anyone at your entertainment industry celebration party, and we'll just embarrass you!"

"How could that be? They can't even praise you enough for having a good son."

Cheng Xi was talking to his mother on the phone when his father's voice suddenly came:
"Come, let me talk to my son."

"Son, will Li Xiaoran go to your celebration party?"

"Sister Da Xiaoran will definitely come. Her guest appearance has added a lot of box office revenue to the movie."

"Um. Um, can you help me get a few autographed photos?"

"hiss"

Hearing his father's hesitant voice, Cheng Xi thought it was something that was difficult to ask or that a relative wanted to borrow money.

It turned out to be a signed photo.

But Dad, your requirements are a bit too low.

Not to mention the autographed photos, I have all the other photos.

"You're still obsessed with Li Xiaoran! Son, don't listen to your dad. He's always feeling uncomfortable!"

"Alas, son, please remember this. I'm hanging up."

"toot toot"

Cheng Xi couldn't help but laugh as he listened to the dead tone on the phone. It seemed like his dad was being led by his mom's ears.

He even risked his life to get an autographed photo.

Why didn’t I know you had a hobby of chasing stars in your previous life!

Today is November 11st, and the box office of "Life Events" has exceeded 1 million.

This time, Han Sanping of China Film Group and the three investors could no longer hold back and decided to hold a grand celebration banquet.

The box office of 5 million has surpassed the 2 million box office of Feng Kuazi's "If You Are the One 4.7".

If we don’t count “Let the Bullets Fly” which was released at the end of 2010 and spanned 2011.

Cheng Xi has already topped the domestic box office in 2011.

It can be said that he was the most popular at the time.

Now, Zhang Yimou's movie "The Flowers of War" has only grossed 4.6 million yuan at the box office because it was released one week less.

Even "If You Are the One 2" didn't surpass it.

This time, Han Sanping was unusually generous and offered to host the celebration banquet.

They chose the Yanjing Hotel as the venue for the celebration banquet and contracted the most luxurious banquet hall.

It can be considered a small recovery.

Cheng Xi thought that the Third Master was a good person.

You should know that the current box office is 5 million yuan, which is already a slight decline, but the box office forecast still shows that there are still million yuan in box office revenue.

China Film Group only provided the qualifications and cooperated in publicity and distribution.

The commission is 7 points.

Based on the box office of 5.7 million, he can get nearly 4000 million.

He didn't take any risks and the costs were not high, so he made a fortune.

I guess I made back all the money he lost from investing in "The Banquet".

So when Han Sanping saw Cheng Xi again this time, he was even more enthusiastic than the last time at the premiere of "The Flowers of War".

No more mention of that unlucky Lu Chuan.

"Junior brother, you really made our film academy proud this time! 500 million at the box office, that's a number I couldn't even imagine at first!"

After Han Sanping finished speaking, he patted Cheng Xi on the shoulder.

It's like encouragement from seniors to juniors.

Then Cheng Xi, Han Sanding, Mr. Zeng, Mr. Lu and the people from Wanda Film welcomed the guests at the entrance of the banquet hall.

In addition to Zuibai Group and some of Cheng Xi's friends in the entertainment industry, the celebration party also invited people from Han Sanping and the connections of three other investors.

So there were many guests and it was very lively.

Just when Cheng Xi felt that his face was stiff from smiling, Fan Binbin and Jing Tian arrived one after another.

Senior Sister Jing Tian invited them herself, and Fan Binbin should have been invited by Han Sanping.

She is always there wherever there is a commotion.

"Hello, Sister Binbin."

"Hello, Director Cheng. Congratulations! The box office has exceeded 500 million!"

"Thank you, Sister Binbin. I'm sorry about what happened last time."

When Fan Binbin heard Cheng Xi say this, he pretended to be stunned, as if he had forgotten what happened last time.

In fact, Cheng Xi knew that after failing to buy the copyright of "My Love from the Star" last time, he had asked his behind-the-scenes agent Mu Guang to investigate his background.

But Cheng Xi is not afraid, because he has the support of the college and is still a student.

Moreover, he has some connections and resources in his hands. As long as he doesn't do anything illegal, he will not be at a disadvantage at all.

Before, I was just a TV drama director, doing small things.

Now I am a big director with a box office of 5 million yuan. I am afraid that Fan Binbin came here this time just to make himself familiar to the public and see if he can follow my path in the future.

That’s how the entertainment industry is. If you are strong, everyone will welcome you with a smile.

You are weak. Then just check if there is no such person.

"Director Cheng, are you talking about 'My Love from the Star'? I was just asking without knowing the truth. Such a great story should of course be filmed by Director Cheng himself."

After saying that, he smiled and gently scratched Cheng Xi with the fingers that were shaking hands with him.

I deliberately kept holding on and not letting go.

It also revealed the cleavage under the hollow long skirt that she had been covering with her hands.

As she stood up straight while talking, Cheng Xi couldn't help but sigh:
There is indeed some stuff.

But this master will do anything to get to the top, so I'd better stay away from him for now.

"Senior Sister Tiantian, you're here!"

"Junior brother, congratulations, you've actually broken 500 million."

After saying that, she stuck out her tongue at Cheng Xi, as if she couldn't believe it.

That look is really playful and cute.

Cheng Xi really wanted that little tongue to scrape him, it would be so enjoyable.

I was about to tease Senior Sister Tiantian a few more times, but a voice came from behind:
"Director Cheng, long time no see."

When Cheng Xi heard it, it was Xin Zhilei.

What surprised Cheng Xi even more was that she actually came in hand in hand with Li Xiaoran.

this.
Is this a post-war sisterhood?
What Cheng Xi didn't know was that since that threesome.

The two added each other on QQ and exchanged contact information.

When we have nothing to do, we will chat about filming and life, and complain about actors and directors together.

Of course, Cheng Xi will also be discussed.

Unfortunately, there weren't many nice words, as if the two of them would be happier if they just scolded Cheng Xi together.

The recent popularity of the movie "Life Events" has further consolidated Li Xiaoran's status.

Xin Zhilei also benefited a lot. After all, her appearance as "Li Li" in the film was very impressive.

This gave her more resources.

This was the first time the two had met since then.

"Director Cheng."

"Da Cheng."

When Cheng Xi heard the two people greeting him, he also went to greet them.

It's very funny that his left hand is holding Da Ran's hand on the right, and his right hand is holding Xin Zhilei's hand on the left.

Here comes a crossover.

Cheng Xi thought, this is a good method.

"Why are you still being so polite to me? Why did you come so late?"

"We two sisters agreed to come in together, so we waited for Zhilei in the car for a while."

Xin Zhilei said:
"So, are you surprised to see us together?"

Cheng Xi tilted his head, searching for the right words to reply:

“It’s a surprise and an unexpected thing, but it’s more of an expansion.”

"rogue!"

Cheng Xi couldn't be blamed for this. Seeing these two people coming in with swaying postures and shining like stars.

I couldn't help but think of the two of them kissing under me that night.

Big mouth and thick lips, each eating a tea egg.

Eat for a while, kiss for a while.

As a human being, he also has to expand.

By 7 o'clock, almost all the guests for the celebration banquet had arrived.

So Han Sanping took Cheng Xi to the ice sculpture "500000000" and called several investors at the same time.

Han Sanping spoke at this time:

"Let me introduce to you our 500 million genius director Cheng Xi. Welcome everyone!"

For a moment, the banquet hall was filled with thunderous applause.

The reporters' cameras were also clicking and flashing. "Director Cheng, please share a few words with everyone!"

At the same time as Han Sanping invited him, the staff also handed him the microphone at the appropriate time.

Cheng Xi took the microphone and nodded.

Seeing that everyone's eyes at the banquet were focused on him.

The artists and staff of Zuibaixi: Reba, Nazha, Tianai, Jinchen, Li Yitong, Li Wentao, Gao Chunyang, etc.

Several people from Mahua, Shen Teng, Ma Li
Actors who have worked with me before: Liu Yijun, Zhang Songwen, Liu Yan.
The Diaosi and Wanwan factions: Dapeng, Yi Xiaoxing, Bai Ke, etc.
And the creators and actors of Life Events: Zhang Mingzhong, Zhou Ye, Zhu Yilong, Li Xiaoran, Xin Zhilei
Other people from the circle who came to the banquet, good friends from the college and several teachers.

It turned out that I had unknowingly made a name for myself and had my own team.

Looking at these many people, I have already predicted some of their fates.

Even began to directly change their destiny.

This feeling cannot be described to outsiders, it's like dancing with gods.

Cheng Xi felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

But no matter what.

All these people today are here for me, and I can’t help but feel a sense of pride rising in my heart.

"Hello everyone, I'm Cheng Xi."

"First of all, I would like to welcome everyone to the celebration party for the movie 'Life Events'."

"Today is a major event in my life. Of course, I don't want to be launched into the sky so soon!"

Cheng Xi used a meme from a movie and everyone burst into laughter.

"Five hundred million is a surprising achievement for me, but it is definitely not my achievement alone."

"Thanks to my investors Mr. Zeng and Mr. Lu. Fortunately, I didn't lose money to you."

Mr. Zeng and Mr. Lu burst into laughter at this time.

“I would like to thank my teachers for their help.”

“Thank you to my friends who accompany and support me.”

"Thanks to my assistant director Zhang Mingzhong, and actors Zhu Yilong and Zhou Ye."

"I also want to thank Master San for hosting this celebration banquet for me. Without Master San's support for the release, there would be no 500 million in sales today!"

"Finally, I will continue to work hard to make better films and achieve more than 500 million."

"Thank you!"

Cheng Xi's words were conventional, but also came from the heart.

After he finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out in the banquet hall.

Especially when the investors and actors heard that Director Cheng's next film was going to cost more than 500 million, they all started to make some calculations in their hearts.

The people in the Zuibai group also had their eyes shining.

Everyone thinks that being young is good, with unlimited energy and the ability to get work done quickly.

The movie here hasn't even finished yet, but they're already talking about their expectations for the next movie.

The atmosphere became even more heated.

The journalist friends pressed the shutter button hard to record this very meaningful scene.

After Cheng Xi finished speaking, the staff brought him the opened red wine.

Seeing this, Cheng Xi poured all the red wine on the celebratory ice sculpture of "500000000".

It symbolizes prosperity and longevity.

Then Cheng Xi and his group picked up hammers and waited to smash the ice sculpture together.

At first, Cheng Xi was humble and wanted Han Sanping to stand in the middle, but he refused.

You must insist on standing in the middle.

The other three stood on each side.

At this time, Cheng Xi saw Reba not far away, looking at him lovingly.

With a gentle smile, he waved to Reba and said:
"Reba, come here!"

When Reba heard her brother calling her, she immediately reacted, but was also very surprised.

Cheng Xi took her hand and knocked on the door with everyone.

Reba was also very touched and congratulated Cheng Xi.

Then she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

This time everyone started to make a fuss.

But most of them are deeply envious.

This handsome young man became famous at the age of 20.

He is handsome, talented, and so many girls like him.

He is simply a winner in life!

Why am I not Cheng Xi?
The other girls looked at this scene and couldn't help but have some thoughts in their minds.

Nazha: Although Reba is kissing my senior brother now, he belongs to me at night, and I didn’t lose.

Tianai: The boss still likes Reba the most.

Jin Chen: Damn, you little bastard, it’s been so long since you touched me. Be careful or I’ll cheat on you.

Liu Yan: We seem to be getting further and further apart.

Jing Tian: Why do I feel a little jealous? Didn’t he say he wanted a girlfriend like me?
Xin Zhilei and Li Xiaoran: Humph, I don’t want to be with four people at all!
Fan Binbin: It seems like being Cheng Xi’s woman is a good idea. He spoils her and gives her resources. I think “My Love from the Star” is promoting this girl called Reba.

The strangest thing was that Zhou Ye came up to Cheng Xi in a huff and said:

"Cheng Xi, I'm the heroine, how can you kiss someone else!"

At this moment, everyone, including Zhou Ye's parents, burst into laughter.

After knocking down the ice sculpture, the celebration banquet officially began.

Everyone was drinking and socializing in groups of three or five.

Of course, Cheng Xi's place is the most lively.

Besides his own people who kept congratulating him, other actors were also excited to hear that he had plans for a movie.

They all took the opportunity to come up and chat.

His words were full of inquiry.

And Fan Binbin had been staying with Cheng Xi for a full half hour.

Sometimes Cheng Xi admires Fan Binbin's determination to never give up until she wins. Perhaps this is the reason why she can reach the highest position among female stars in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Li Xiaoran: "My room is 8803, Zhilei won't leave tonight."

You want to eat tea eggs, right?

Looking at Da Ran's big white face and big mouth, Cheng Xi felt a little swelled again.

Xin Zhilei: "Don't ignore Sister Xiaoran's affairs. She has a male best friend who has been confessing to her and pestering her recently."

Damn, someone is trying to steal my girl?
If Xin Zhilei hadn't told him, the considerate Da Ran would probably never have opened his mouth to her.

Her best male friend? Could he be her future husband?

The man who promised to marry her and gave her 500 million.

What would Sister Da Ran think?
Reba: "Brother, I'm proud of you! But I also want to be the heroine in the next movie, you can't be partial!"

I'm not partial to you enough, you're such a cutie.

Nazha: "Brother, you have to treat me equally, otherwise I, the werewolf, will explode."

You're a werewolf and you're self-destructing. With your IQ, you can say goodbye to being a werewolf killer.

These women all came to chat with me more or less.

Since many people came from outside Beijing, Han Sanping also arranged a room for everyone.

It’s up to you whether to stay or not, but the service must be good.

We also prepared exquisite souvenirs for each guest.

After all, the movie is still in theaters, and it is convenient for everyone and reporters to promote the movie.

Let’s see if we can reach 6 million.

Even the box office and the national master are competing against each other.

After all, the predicted box office for "Life Events" is 5.7 million, and "The Flowers of War" is only 6.3 million.

"88038803"

Jing Tian: "What 8803?"

Cheng Xi was coming out of the bathroom while thinking about the lucky number that Da Ran had just reported.

I didn’t expect to meet Jing Tian.

"Love's number plate."

Jing Tian: “.”

Jing Tian: "Tell me the truth, how many people who came tonight did you cheat?"

Cheng Xi looked around at this time, but there was no one there.

Everyone was busy socializing, so I guess Jing Tian came here specifically to catch me.

Looking at Britney Spears wearing a pink evening dress, the jewelry on her neck complements her skin tone.

So he took courage and took Xiao Tiantian to the small door at the safety staircase next to him.

Cheng Xi pushed the door open and said:

"Come with me and I'll tell you."
