Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 313

Your sister Yuqi is awesome.

But I, Mr. Cheng, am no pushover now, and this kind of situation won’t be a problem for him.

As a top director of the new century, he naturally has his own way of managing people.

For example, when dealing with Li Yitong, you need to take your time and chew and savor it slowly.

Cultivate some feelings by the way.

Maybe it would be suitable to have a shallow or deep one.

But when dealing with this kind of mature lady, she just wants you to control her well.

As long as you work hard enough.
Fortunately, Cheng Xi knew long ago that he would have a long career as a director.

So I never gave up exercising at work and in college.

Big guys with big hands carry big plans.

It can be said to be quite capable of fighting.

After Zhang Yuqi finished her work, Cheng Xi's buckle was gloriously laid off.

She propped herself up on her elbows, raised her head and started eating lunch.

"There's still an hour left. How many times can the director perform?"

"Then it depends on your ability."

While filming in the afternoon, Zhang Yuqi's condition had visibly improved.

Cheng Xi was looking at the sexy Zhang Yuqi in front of the monitor, and couldn't help but recall the madness between the two of them not long ago.

Cheng Xi was really trying to force someone to death.

I fully experienced the joy of being a thief.

It's just that due to time constraints, it wasn't a satisfying battle.

Since they had to film a scene in the afternoon, Cheng Xi didn't go too far.

Zhang Yuqi seemed to be venting the unhappiness accumulated in her heart and treated Cheng Xi as a non-human being.

Swaying freely.

But Cheng Xi still needs to pay attention to the impact.

After all, as a director, he is the one who directs openly on the set.

It's not appropriate at all.

So he pulled up her bun, twisted her neck back and covered her mouth forcefully.

Who told her to be so loud?

The hoarse voice ruins the atmosphere, it's better to just hold it in and whimper.

In the end, Cheng Xi wanted to give her a face, but considering that he had to film in the afternoon, he couldn't make her makeup too obviously smudged.

Otherwise the makeup artist wouldn't have directly known what was going on.

But Yuqi is really awesome here.

There was no waste at all, and she had a delicious meal as she had just skipped lunch.

And looking at Cheng Xi looking at her mouth, she was also wearing sexy costumes and filming seriously.

It was hard to imagine that her clothes and herself were so messy just an hour ago.

Sure enough, women are good at disguising themselves.

If you only look at the surface, you will lose miserably.

At night, Cheng Xi had just let go of Li Yitong, who had been ravaged by PUA, and was about to continue dealing with work matters.

At this moment the doorbell suddenly rang.

When the door opened, an alluring mature woman was seen holding a bottle of red wine.

Yuqi who doesn't eat lunch but eats people.

Cheng Xi took advantage of it again.

There will be no suppression at noon this time.

Get straight to the point and experience the full and thorough experience.

Looking at the red marks all over her body, Cheng Xi felt a warmth rising from his heart.

Afterwards, the two communicated several more times.

Cheng Xi sighed that the young woman was really nice and could do everything.

You can tell from her acting in movies that she is very experienced.

Cheng Xi knew that Zhang Yuqi was not an easy person to deal with.

Later, she used this wave to establish herself as a heroine and attracted a wave of female boxing fans.

Her love life later on is also hard to describe.

But no matter what happens to her later.

It’s not my car, I’ll stand still and pedal hard.

I don't want you to maintain it.

It was just a consensual exchange between the two of them.

It's a purely technical exchange.

Cheng Xi improved a lot after this battle.

He also went from questioning Cao to being the real thief Cao.

In the blink of an eye, the crew's filming reached mid-September.

The focus of the drama these days has been on Li Yitong.

The mermaid Shanshan came to assassinate Liu Xuan, but was hit by Liu Xuan while practicing golf in the office.

"I really don't want you to pay me!"

“Nothing really costs money, you just want more.”

"You haven't even taken off your clothes, what makes you think you can do that? What are your special skills?"

"My specialty is cooking chicken."

"I figured it out, so what? Should I give you an award?"

"You think cooking chicken is easy?"

"How difficult is it?"

"Pull out all the hair first."

"Whose hair are you plucking?"

"You are sick, of course you are not pulling out my hair."

"Hard pull?"

"Boil some water and pull them out immediately."

"I won't let you pull out a single hair of mine."

"Then you'll have a mouth full of hair if you eat it."

"I have to eat it myself."

"If you don't pluck the hair and you don't eat it yourself, then I won't do business with you."

"This is too much, throw him out!"

Cheng Xi watched the rivalry between Li Yitong and Stephen Chow behind the monitor.

I can't help but feel that the progress is really great.

At the beginning, her scenes were the most difficult to shoot for the entire crew because they were often off-key.

There's nothing I can do, my acting skills are the worst.

But now, after three or four times, I can perform it quite well.

Cheng Xi: "Ka, not bad, not bad, Yitong has made progress. Let's take a ten-minute break and do it again."

"Yitong, come here."

Cheng Xi called Li Yitong over and analyzed the pros and cons of the video frame by frame for her.

Keep your expressions and language simple, because you are a mermaid.

I have never been to human society, so I don’t understand the meaning of these words at all.

So you are very surprised by Liu Xuan's reaction.

Eventually you both decide that the other is somehow abnormal.

Li Yitong nodded:

"Yeah, thank you for the guidance, Director. I'll try again!"

A few days later, after nearly four months of filming, the crew had finished shooting all the scenes in Shenzhen.

Special effects are also being developed simultaneously.

There are still some remaining scenes, which can be filmed in Yanjing.

Cheng Xi also happened to be returning home.

As soon as he landed at Capital International Airport, Cheng Xi asked the driver to go straight to Zuibai Entertainment.

Because there are many things waiting for me.

One is "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Mojin", which will be released on October 10st.

The propaganda has now entered a white-hot stage.

Its competitors include the anti-trafficking film "Dear," directed by Peter Chan and starring Zhao Wei, Huang Bo, Tong Dawei and others.

"Lost in Thailand" directed by Ning Hao and starring Huang Bo and Xu Zheng.

There are also "Black & White 2" starring Mark Chao and Lin Gengxin, "The Runaways" starring Nicolas Cage, and "The Golden Era" starring Tang Wei and Feng Shaofeng.

Of course, the main competitors are still the first two.

Especially the iron triangle combination of Ning Hao, Huang Bo and Xu Zheng.

But fortunately, there are no suspenseful special effects blockbusters, and they are all mainly based on the plot.

This gives Mojin the advantage. Therefore, Cheng Xi's strategy is to promote it through differentiation, with the support of this big IP and the average competitors.

Cheng Xi is still very optimistic about the box office of "Mojin: The Lost Tomb".

At that time, Guo Fan and I can each lead a team to do a roadshow, after all, I am also the producer.

I didn't contribute much even after the film was finished.

The second is that the TV series version of "Detective Chinatown" has also been completed.

Due to its small size, Cheng Xi initially planned to broadcast it on online platforms such as Sohu, Youku and LeTV.

Thanks to the support of the movie version, the drama version is now also highly discussed.

Zhang Tianai has three representative works, from "The Princess Weiyoung" to "So Young" and then to "Chinatown".

His fame and status are also established.

It can be considered below the first-tier and above the second-tier level.

It won’t be as popular as before, but it will be like a shooting star.

There was no trace of him afterwards.

Moreover, these three representative works are just the beginning for her, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

As for people like Reba and Yang Mi, they can be considered top-tier in TV dramas and top-tier in traffic.

But the film received mediocre response.

Yang Mi's performance in "Breakup Master" gained some points, but not much.

I hope this time sheiry Yang can help Reba surpass her senior sister Yang Mi.

"Boss, as you requested, I'm keeping an eye on the video sites and land auctions."

"Regarding video websites, Renren.com is looking to sell 56.com, and we understand they are in talks with Sohu.

"Are you interested in a price range?"

"Renren spent over 11 million yuan to acquire 56.com in 5, but now Renren itself is struggling, and 56.com is also in a mess, so the current asking price is much lower than before, at only 2.8 million yuan."

From the perspective that Li Wentao thinks 2.8 million is very cheap, we can also see that Zuibai Entertainment is now developing rapidly.

In the past, even if we could scrape together tens of millions to make a movie, we still had to live a tight life.

Video websites have always been an area that Cheng Xi wanted to enter, and he was quite anxious about it.

Because he knew that starting from 2015, Penguin Ali and Baidu would start to make efforts in the video website sector.

This established the situation of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video being the three major players.

Why acquire one instead of starting one from scratch?

Since 2008, a "Regulations on the Management of Internet Audiovisual Program Services" has been implemented, which has imposed strict restrictions on the conditions for engaging in Internet audiovisual program services. The applicant must be a state-owned enterprise or state-controlled.

But this also leaves a loophole, that is, video websites that have not previously violated regulations can continue to operate.

Later, with the increasingly stringent anti-piracy supervision, countless video websites were killed and injured.

It was from this time that the old video website 56.com began to fall into decline.

Now Cheng Xi has Zuibai Chinese website as his entertainment base, a team to produce film and television dramas, and a group of outstanding artists and directors. Of course, he still needs a video website to connect the upstream and downstream.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xi said:

"We'll continue to contact Renren and make sure we take over 56.com. As for Sohu, I'll go ask my old friend Mr. Zeng about the situation."

Cheng Xi didn't expect that his old friend Mr. Zeng would suddenly become his competitor.

In the business world, anything can happen.

"Also, there's no need to rush to schedule a release date or find a broadcast platform for the TV series 'Detective Chinatown'. Let's hold it back for now. Perhaps once we acquire 56.com, we can premiere it on our own platform."

When Li Wentao heard what his boss said, he quickly stated his requirements and key points.

"What about the land auction? Any good news?"

"Boss, there are suitable plots of land outside the Fifth Ring Road and to the south, and the prices are relatively cheaper."

"But buying land and building in Haidian will be difficult. The average price of commercial and office land is between 2 and 4 yuan per square meter, and the locations are relatively remote."

"Is there any land near the college, or in Zhongguancun?"

"There are some in Zhongguancun. Just last month, the B2 commercial land in the Zhongguancun Yongfeng Industrial Base in the northern part of Haidian was sold. The total area of ​​the land is 6.5 square meters and the transaction price was 18.3 billion yuan, with an average price of 2.8 yuan per square meter."

"We don't need that much space. How many square meters does New Oriental's headquarters occupy?"

"It covers an area of ​​nearly 2 square meters, with a construction area of ​​8 square meters."

Li Wentao now pays great attention to the matters assigned by Cheng Xi personally. Even if he is very busy, he will do it himself and is familiar with all the data.

Hearing that New Oriental already occupies 2 square meters, Cheng Xi thought about his Zuibai Entertainment, which will become a comprehensive group company in the future.

That half of the specifications should be achieved.

"Are there any around 1 square meters?"

"There's only one plot of land of around 1 square meters left in Haidian District, but the price per square meter is quite high, at 3.5 yuan per square meter. It will be auctioned in early 2015."

"Boss, this is the information about the land parcels currently up for auction in Zhongguancun. Please take a look."

Cheng Xi looked through the information and found that this 1 square meter piece of land might be the right size.

The smaller the plot of land, the more expensive it is.

If the price is 3.5 yuan per square meter, the purchase price will be at least 3.5 million yuan.

And this is just the price of the land; it will cost a lot to build the building.

The cost is estimated to be around 10 billion yuan.

After thinking about this, Cheng Xi felt that it was still within an acceptable range.

It just so happens that all of Huayi’s shares will be sold next year, and the money to build the building will come.

"Let's wait a few days for this piece of land. We'll go and take a look at the location together, and bring some experts in the field with us."

"Okay, boss!"

Of course, we should be more cautious when it comes to a project worth 10 billion yuan.

A Feng Shui master and other people also need to be arranged.

This will be the headquarters of Zuibai Group in the future.

Where you settle down, you cannot be careless in any situation.

The third most important thing is of course the mobile game "Honor of Kings".

Cheng Xi started trying out version 1.0 when filming "The Mermaid".

A lot of detailed issues were also reported.

It has been optimized almost now.

Just waiting for the official release.

At that time, we will also have to work with major artists to promote it, and advertising must also keep up.

Now, Zuibai Entertainment not only earns money from other people's advertising fees, but also has to spend money on advertising and promotion itself.

Cheng Xi had already asked Li Wentao to handle the industrial and commercial procedures and set up a game company.

The name is Zuibai Games Co., Ltd.

Move the company's entire mobile game department to the new game company.

One is to more clearly divide the functions of each company.

The two game and entertainment companies are two different business scopes. If you want to start making profits online, the tax points you pay will be different, so of course you have to set up separate companies.

Afterwards, Li Wentao also reported on some other work.

Cheng Xi also gave instructions one by one.

After coming back from a busy day.

Cheng Xi finally had time to go back to school the next day.

He is now a graduate student.

But I have never met my classmates and new roommates.

When Cheng Xi returned to the college this time, Meng Ziyi was waiting for him at the college gate.

Reba has now started to busy herself with roadshows and variety show promotions, as this is her first movie in which she plays the leading female role.

It can be said that it is given great importance.

I'm exhausted from running around.

Nazha’s "Love O2O" has just been completed.

Now I’m busy catching up on the announcements and sponsor endorsements.

During the time when Cheng Xi was filming, Meng Ziyi would send a few messages every few days to greet her senior brother Cheng Xi.

I also know that I will return to Yanjing around the end of September.

So this time I asked for the time in advance and waited for me at the college gate.

Cheng Xi himself was also used to Ermei waiting for him at the college gate.

This time, as a new graduate student, there was no one around.

All the classmates left.

The only familiar people left were her, Chen Xinxuan, and Yang Caiyu.

So there was no rejection.

After all, as a celebrity in the academy, he suddenly came back without finding anyone he knew.

That's too embarrassing.

When Cheng Xi's private car stopped at the entrance of the college.

As soon as he got off the car, he saw Meng Ziyi and her three roommates waving at Cheng Xi.

Seeing this, Cheng Xi couldn't help but think:
Ziyi is quite capable and knows that he may not be used to it for a while.

I called a few more junior sisters to accompany me.

Looking at their youthful, beautiful and vibrant appearance, especially Meng Ziyi's twin ponytails.

Cheng Xi's mood also became sunny.

Maybe this is what is called:

Men always like 18-year-old girls!
