Crazy Entertainment System

Chapter 376 Meeting with the Director

"You still don't understand? Money is just a number to us. Are you short of money?! You little money-grubber?!" Chen Yu teased with a smile.

"You're the little money-grubber~" Wang Yali rolled her eyes and said irritably.

"Haha~" Chen Yu laughed loudly, pulled Wang Yali into his arms, and kissed her hard.

The popularity of iPhones in China has been mirrored in Europe and America. A reporter from Window of the World observed similar sales figures at Zhanlong Technology stores in other countries, noting that the situation was not much different from that in China, and the positive reviews for the iPhone remained very high.

Reviews of some Chinese technology companies were also released that day.

It received a top score of 9.89 out of 10, with the deductions being for battery life.

Although the official reviewer said that the iPhone has already done a great job, they still hoped for more battery life. They gave the iPhone Zero Plus a score of 9.90, and their biggest complaint was the price. At $3000, it's not something the average person can afford.

The iPhone Zero Plus is in high demand and short supply. Many international celebrities have their agents buy them this iconic piece of fashion and art.

In the entertainment industry, it seems that without an iPhone Zero Plus, one's status is not very high, and one's taste is considered poor.

This kind of comparison seems to be naturally formed and suddenly erupted, especially among some female celebrities. More importantly, the iPhone Zero Plus is expensive and beautiful enough to be an endless tool for showing off.

The first celebrity to get one showed it off, immediately drawing envy from countless people. Although the price of $3000 is expensive, it's nothing to celebrities. More importantly, being able to get one is the key, as there are far more people than available iPhone Zero Plus phones.

Although Zhanlong Technology publicly claimed that the iPhone Zero Plus was out of stock and that production ramp-up had not yet been successful, it secretly began large-scale operations to increase the production quantity of the iPhone Zero Plus.

After all, the profit margin of the iPhone Zero Plus version is several times that of the standard iPhone version.

While claiming to be out of stock, they secretly ship goods worldwide.

As the saying goes, the world is never short of nouveau riche, and the more expensive they are, the more attractive they become.

Curious items to live in.

Despite increased shipments, the iPhone Zero Plus still couldn't keep up with market demand.

However, Zhuge Yun did not release all iPhone Zero Plus phones at once, but instead released them in a 1:3 ratio to create the impression that iPhone Zero Plus phones were in short supply.

Regardless of how Zhanlong Technology operates, Chen Yu has already met with the directors and assistant directors that Liang Siwen found.

"Dear teachers, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting!" The meeting was to be held in a hotel. Liang Siwen had originally planned to hold it inside the company, but after consideration, he decided to hold it in a hotel room instead.

If these directors appear together, along with Chen Yu, it will inevitably attract some attention, especially from the paparazzi who are always around Crazy Entertainment. It wouldn't be good if they were exposed.

Chen Yu certainly didn't want the information about "iPartment" to be leaked before filming even started.

Even if a leak were to be made, it would be necessary to meet with several directors, get a general understanding of their ideas and profiles, and see if there were any issues with the collaboration before discussing the leak.

"We just arrived there too!" Although they were relatively young, they were all veterans in the industry, very familiar with the rules of film crew shooting, and also very knowledgeable about shooting techniques and methods.

Making TV series doesn't require very complicated shooting techniques. Shooting concepts like montage are not very suitable for works like "iPartment".

Of course, they didn't dare to put on airs in front of Chen Yu, their top boss. Everyone in the industry knows Chen Yu's power now; he's practically a local tyrant. Fortunately, he's not bad-natured and doesn't have any arrogant or domineering behavior.

If you really offend Chen Yu, a single word from him can completely blacklist you—even more powerful than the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television can only impose policies, but they can still influence things abroad.

However, Chen Yu's ban is an absolute global ban, meaning he can forget about ever living in this world again.

Chen Yu has this power, as do Crazy and Cloud Technology.

One search engine and one cloud platform service.

This time, they were quite surprised that Chen Yu had entered the field of filmmaking, not because they were surprised that he had entered the field of directing so quickly.

The normal approach is that actors who excel in acting can become directors.

Generally, actors only enter the directing circle after achieving a certain level of success in acting. There are many such examples in the industry. However, Chen Yu had only just stepped into the film and television industry when he embarked on the path of directing, which surprised them.

However, being able to collaborate with Chen Yu is a very good opportunity.

This means that being in a good position allows one to communicate closely with Chen Yu, share one's ideas and scripts, and potentially secure Chen Yu's investment.

Is Chen Yu short of money?!

They definitely have plenty of money!

A little bit leaking between their fingers is enough; that's what they're thinking. They're doing everything they can to help director Chen Yu with his debut work, "Love Apartment," which is both his acting and directing debut!

"You're all too kind, teachers. We met here today instead of at the company because we were worried about being photographed by paparazzi around the company. I don't want my filming to be all over the place before it even starts. I hope we can film quietly during this period, without being affected by the outside world. After all, this is my debut film, and I take it very seriously. I hope you will all be understanding!" Chen Yu smiled and looked at the group.

“Your idea is correct. When filming, just focus on filming and don’t let the outside world influence you. Only by focusing can you create a good script!” Engineer Hu said with a smile.

“Yes, but these days there aren’t many directors who think like the Crown Prince. They’re all already planning hype before filming even begins. How can they possibly focus on making a film?” Wang Min said. Wang Min was also the only woman among the directors.

This female director graduated from Huaxia Film Academy and pursued further studies at UCLA. This school only admits about thirty students each year, so being able to get into such a school is a testament to Wang Min's ability.
