Chapter 252 How Should We Spend This Hundred Million? (Please Subscribe!)

Editorial Department of "Fragrant Grass" Magazine

"Team Leader Xiao, what did you discuss in your meeting?"

"What else can we say? It's the same old problem: magazine sales aren't going up, so we editors have to come up with a solution."

"Who doesn't want magazine sales to soar? But the problem is that magazines have sprung up like mushrooms after rain in the past two years. I won't even talk about the whole country, just in Jiangcheng alone, there have been at least seven or eight new magazines in the past two years. The number of readers remains the same, so naturally, the number of people buying our magazine is reduced."

"Who can argue with that? The problem is we don't have the ability to shut down other magazines, so we can only do better than them so that more readers will buy our magazine. As the saying goes, you have to be strong yourself to succeed."

"That makes sense, but good works are hard to come by... Oh, right, Team Leader Xiao, isn't Fusheng your author? I remember his children's novel 'The Adventures of Shuke and Beta' wasn't finished, was it?"

"Well, not yet, but Teacher Chen's situation is special, as you all know."

"We are aware that Comrade Fusheng's situation is special, so we would like to ask if he is still writing 'The Adventures of Shuke and Beta 3'? If so, when?"

"I guess I'll still have to write more, but I'm probably too busy."

At this point, Xiao Xinghai paused for a moment, then continued, "However, I have already applied to the editor-in-chief and plan to visit him in Beijing in a couple of days. It's always more sincere to talk in person than to write a letter."

"That's true. If you could get a new novel from Comrade Fusheng, that would be even better, hahaha."

"Yes, yes, and also, could you please find out about Director Chen's next film? Last week, I took my family to the cinema to watch 'Die Hard' for the third time. I can only say that this film truly deserves to be called my country's first action blockbuster. Every time I watched it, I felt that the fight scenes were exhilarating. The only downside is that after watching it, other domestic films just don't seem appealing anymore."

"I only watched this movie once. Although I felt very excited while watching it, just like you, Lao Gu, after calming down and reflecting on it carefully, I found that the movie actually doesn't have much of a core. It just tells the story of a protagonist taking down terrorists, and it's a bit too invincible, which is detached from reality."

"Die Hard is an action movie, focusing on fight scenes and visuals, so the story isn't as complicated as you might think. And don't forget, this movie also has a foreign exchange earning mission. If it's too complicated, will foreigners understand it?"

"Right, Lao Xiao, I almost forgot. A couple of years ago, when Teacher Chen's movies were successful overseas, there would be some news reports. But this past year, there hasn't been a single report."

"I don't know. I'll ask around for you when we go to Beijing this time..."

……

Oriental Company.

General Manager's Office.

Seeing that Director Chen, who was sitting opposite her, had put down the book he had ghostwritten, "The Adventures of Shuke and Beta 3," Zheng Yuanjie subconsciously sat up straight and then asked cautiously:
"Director Chen, how is it?"

"Very good. Comrade Zheng truly deserves to be called a writer skilled in children's novels. This third book you wrote feels even better than mine."

Hearing such high praise, Zheng Yuanjie was flattered and quickly waved her hand, saying, "No, no, Director Chen, you're exaggerating. My level is far inferior to yours. And to be honest, my works in the past two years were inspired by your 'The Adventures of Shuke and Beta,' which is why I created them."

"is it?"

"Yes."

Zheng Yuanjie nodded, and then gave Chen Fusheng a few more examples.

He also took this opportunity to share some of his thoughts, or rather, inspirations, about the sequels.

In fact, the subsequent story is somewhat vague, or even incomplete, for Chen Fusheng.

However, with the additions from Zheng Yuanjie, the original author in history, the two of them, after more than two hours of communication and a collision of inspiration, actually managed to come up with the outline of the story for the next three parts.

After finishing her review, Zheng Yuanjie asked, "Director Chen, will you still let me write the rest of the story?"

"Of course, I don't have the extra time and energy to spend on this novel, so I can only trouble you."

Then, Chen Fusheng chatted with Zheng Yuanjie about the treatment he was given...

Just as they finished discussing the terms of service, Chen Fusheng's office phone rang, so Zheng Yuanjie took the opportunity to get up, say goodbye, and leave.

The call came from the China Film Association. They had assumed Chen Fusheng was still abroad and wanted to know when he would return to China and whether he could fulfill his duties as a judge for the 3rd Golden Rooster Awards. They were surprised to find that the person who answered the phone was Chen Fusheng.

"Director Chen, it's so great that you're in the country..."

The other party reorganized their thoughts and then asked, "Director Chen, since you are in China, you should be able to participate in the judging work of the 3rd Golden Rooster Awards, right?"

Chen Fusheng did not answer immediately, but first asked the other party for some information.

"Where will this year's Golden Rooster Awards be held?" "Fuzhou, Fujian."

"So the awards ceremony has to be held in Fuzhou?"

"Yes."

"When?"

"Starting April 7th."

Chen Fusheng calculated that there was still a week left, and he had no reason to refuse, so he gave the other party a positive answer without hesitation:

"Okay, I can participate."

"Okay, thank you, Director Chen. I have one more question. Would you like to come with us?"

"Sure, when are you leaving?"

"There are flights on the 5th and 6th."

"Then assign me number six."

"OK……"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fusheng took his work report from the trip to the United States and left the office, going downstairs to take a car directly to the Film Bureau.

Yesterday, Director Shi told him that the script for "About Time" had been approved.

So when he came to the Film Bureau to report on his work, he also planned to take the approved materials for the script back with him.

"You're going to submit this movie to an international film festival after you finish filming, right?"

As Director Shi handed the approved documents to Chen Fusheng, he casually remarked.

"Yes, it needs to be delivered."

Venice?

"Not necessarily, it could be an American film festival. It depends on when we finish filming," Chen Fusheng replied. He wasn't in a rush for this film and planned to take his time filming it, treating it as a vacation for himself.

Director Shi nodded, then changed the subject and asked, "When is your next trip to America?"

"I'll go there to settle the box office revenue with Warner Bros. when 'Die Hard' is taken off the screens worldwide, since the amount is quite large this time," Chen Fusheng said.

As for starting a company and other things, there's no need to bring them up now, since none of them have happened yet.

After listening to his words, Director Shi seemed to be deep in thought at first, then suddenly asked, "How much money will your Oriental Company make this time? Will it break 100 million?"

"If it's in RMB, I think it should be possible."

hiss~
At this moment, even with Director Shi's extensive knowledge, he couldn't help but be somewhat shocked by the speed at which their Oriental Company made money.

"With so much money, how does your Eastern Company plan to spend it?"

"This……"

This question really stumped Chen Fusheng.

He still has over 30 million yuan lying in his company account, and he doesn't know how to spend it. Even if he doesn't make 100 million yuan in a few months, he'll still make at least 70, 80, or 90 million yuan, which will definitely add up to over 100 million yuan.

Thinking about it, I really have no idea where this money went.

At that moment, Chen Fusheng suddenly felt empathy for Wang Duoyu.

It turns out that spending a lot of money can also be a hassle.

Hey……

How should we spend this 100 million?
