Chapter 67: Human Stories
In fact, Han Zhou and his companions had to return home very early, and Han Zhou had to change flights.
So I have to go to bed immediately.
Han Zhou got news from Zhang Jiuquan that a senior executive of You Video was discussing the purchase of the online broadcasting rights of the TV series "Lin Yuan Shen Shen" in Hengdian.
Zhang Jiuquan contacted him and asked if he was interested in the online movie starring Ye Manyi and Han Zhou.
The other party has a certain interest.
Tell Han Zhou, Han Zhou is sure that he must go back to Hengdian after returning to China.
My original plan was to go to Shudu with Wang Xiya for a day after returning to China, and then participate in the "Hello Mr. Tree" roadshow in Shudu the day after tomorrow.
Now it seems that my schedule is so full that I don’t have any chance to rest.
…
Fight to the end.
The guardian was in a very bad mood.
Ever since the fourth episode of "Real Challenge" was actually aired, An Lan fans and Han Zhou fans in the group started a fierce argument.
Everyone adheres to one principle, which is not to have disputes on Weibo.
So, let’s quarrel in this group.
This group is originally used for fighting to the death, so quarrels are normal.
The problem is that after arguing for nearly a whole night, the group that is still fighting to the end currently has 2,700 members.
The guardian knows that the number of group members has reached the maximum three times, which represents the love-hate relationship between the two.
Last night, when Anle’s “Death Grin” program was aired, the theater was already full.
Anle established a second group for those who would stick with it till the end, and soon, at twelve o'clock in the evening, the second group was full.
So, Anle set up three more groups to keep talking to the end, and by the early morning, all three groups were full.
You have to know that now, there are not many passers-by fans joining the group.
The current group members are all converted from Han Zhou and An Lan’s die-hard fans.
This made the guardian very angry.
Why? Why are they all eating candy? They are fighting like this, and they are still eating candy?
You asked why the guardian knew so much about the matter? Because Anle was her boyfriend in real life, and she saw Anle setting up a group on the other side.
It's so much fun over there.
The guardian hurriedly asked Le Yan: "Why are the number of people on their side increasing so quickly?"
Le Yan: "Because they are recruiting people in the super topic."
"We promised not to transfer the quarrel to Weibo, so it is difficult for us to pull people on Weibo."
The guardian exploded: "Playing dirty?!"
Because we promised not to quarrel on Weibo, it is not easy to organize and recruit those people on Weibo who think Han Zhou and An Lan should go their separate ways, so we can only recruit individual members.
As for the die-hard fans, they were madly showing off An Lan and Han Zhou's emoticon package of "love and hate" in the super topic, and cheering for the recruitment of new members, so the increase in the number of group members was particularly exaggerated.
The guardian turned around and saw Anle laughing numbly.
It was almost dawn, and Anle smiled happily: "Let's go to bed."
The guardian kicked her boyfriend Anle in the butt and said, "Go to sleep on the sofa."
Anle: “…”
On the sofa, Anle sent a message to Heyan: "I was kicked out to sleep on the sofa."
He Yan: “I understand.”
Soon, Le Yan was rushed to the living room holding a thin blanket.
Le Yan's mentality has collapsed.
Who the hell did I offend?
This matter is hard to understand . Who would have thought that the four founders of 'Die Hard to the End' and 'Die Hard to the End' were two pairs of lovers.
Moreover, they were just crossed, one on each side of the couple.
Le Yan, a die-hard fan of Han Zhou, thinks that An Lan fans are bullying Han Zhou fans and he cannot tolerate that.
After waiting for a whole night, I found that I didn’t attract many people.
I noticed that the number of members in my girlfriend and Yan’s group increased dramatically!
What’s more important is that after a busy night and when it was time to go to bed, I was kicked out and asked to sleep on the sofa.
desolate.
…
station.
Wang Chuyang felt like he was almost wiped out.
Fly back to Yanjing from the bear country Mosco.
Go through customs at Yanjing, and then transfer to Xiaoshan Airport.
Then I took a bus from near Xiaoshan Airport all the way to Hengdian.
After all this, we set off at five in the morning in the Bear Country.
When we arrived, it was five o'clock in the afternoon in China.
This is because Wang Xiya has great connections. If it were an ordinary person, it might take until five o'clock tomorrow afternoon to complete the whole process.
However, such intensive travel is too mentally exhausting.
After leaving the station, Wang Chuyang looked around.
"Are you watching God and Demon?"
Wang Chuyang: "Look at the car that picked us up! Is it that luxury business car?"
Han Zhou smiled: "The car that picked you up?"
After a while, a JAC car arrived.
Han Zhou pulled Wang Chuyang into the car and the driver started the car.
This was the first time in Wang Chuyang's life that he rode in a car that cost less than one million yuan.
I didn't expect that the price level would be lowered to below 70,000 yuan.
Wang Chuyang whispered: "Is he the company driver? He doesn't look like one."
Han Zhou said happily: "Zber driver, didn't you earn a Zber one-year taxi card from the last show? It's just right for you to use it."
The car soon arrived at the street where Hanzhou Company was located.
Wang Chuyang's inner world was very shocking.
From childhood to adulthood, he had never thought that he could start a company in such a place.
Counting from the left of the parking lot, there are the noodle shop, barbecue, convenience store, barber shop, hardware store, noodle shop, Shaxian, and small clinic.
The facade of the building looks like a steamed bun that has fallen on the ground and is covered with dust.
And there is also a feeling that the wall paint is about to fall off.
On the second floor, under the influence of rain, black and green watermarks appeared on the outer wall.
From above you can see the shadows of some dying plants.
At this time, there was a mahjong table and a solar stove at the entrance of the convenience store.
In the cold wind, four old ladies dressed warmly were playing cards.
They are so dedicated! Young people can't stand it, but some old ladies can still play mahjong. They are worthy of being from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They love playing mahjong second only to people from Sichuan.
Are you preparing to participate in the mahjong competition that will be held at the beginning of this year and aim for a million-dollar prize?
Han Zhou dragged the box and took Wang Chuyang to buy cigarettes.
Twenty-two Yuxi.
The old lady at the door: "Sixty thousand. Oops, I touched the wrong one. This is it."
"Hey, your daughter-in-law is back."
Another old lady said sharply: "Come back if you want. I don't know how to cook for you."
"I have to go to work."
"Women nowadays are so lazy! When we were daughters-in-law, we had to get up at four in the morning to cook."
"She sleeps until eight in the morning, doesn't cook or do housework, and goes to work. She comes home at six in the afternoon and wants ready-made food when she gets home."
That might be the ticket seller, or someone who worked at the movie studio. The woman wearing a big windbreaker with a suit underneath smiled and walked into the small clinic.
This was the first time Wang Chuyang had met a woman with such good self-cultivation.
"You didn't get mad?"
"If it was my sister, she would have flipped the table."
Han Zhou: "If I bet a pack of Yuxi, she will definitely turn hostile within a day."
"Your sister is very gentle, but this female neighbor doesn't look easy to mess with."
Wang Chuyang: "I think she looks graceful and charming, and she will definitely not turn hostile. I bet on it."
Han Zhou smiled: "You are doomed to lose."
In Han Zhou's memory, there are many expressions similar to the woman's current one, whether they were performed, seen in video footage, or seen with his own eyes.
But if you think about it carefully, none of them are good people.
Grabbing the cigarettes, Han Zhou took Wang Chuyang into the elevator from the elevator room next to the canteen.
Soon we reached the third floor.
Zhang Jiuquan and Chen Xiaoyong were watching a movie at this time.
I watched the latest Hollywood blockbuster, "RoboCity".
"Look, how was the shot taken from this angle? This place should be a wall."
"If it was filmed in China, they would have torn down the wall for real shooting. If it was Hollywood, it would have been a special effect."
“To make special effects, you have to tear down the walls… or the walls should be movable.”
Two people are discussing technology.
Han Zhou was very curious: "Isn't this movie still in theaters? It's only been a week. Where did the gun version come from?"
"Korean version..." Zhang Jiuquan answered subconsciously, then jumped up: "Boss, you are finally back. Hurry up, I am leaving soon."
Han Zhou: "Okay."
"Er, this is our company's newly signed trainee, you take care of him."
"Nine, follow me."
Wang Chuyang looked at Chen Xiaoyong, then looked around: "Are these the only people in our company?"
"Too few?" Han Zhou: "It's easier for you to remember when there are fewer people. You won't be staying at the headquarters anymore. Don't be afraid that you won't recognize anyone from your own company when you meet them."
Wang Chuyang: "Then where should I be a trainee? Are you going to send me to South Korea?"
"My dad would never agree to me giving up my studies to become a trainee in Korea."
Han Zhou smiled: "You will know when the time comes."
Han Zhou packed up and went out with Zhang Jiuqun.
Soon, the two arrived at a bar that was not noisy, but not quiet either.
It should be called a music bar because there are resident singers.
Soon, Zhang Jiuquan saw someone: "Boss, this way."
Zhang Jiuquan led Han Zhou to a booth.
The person Zhang Jiuquan was contacting was talking to a skinny middle-aged man with glasses.
Soon, the other party smiled and led Zhang Jiuquan and Han Zhou to their seats.
Han Zhou stretched out his hand: "Han Zhou."
The other party glanced at Han Zhou, smiled, and then continued to touch the girl next to him: "Hello, Director Han."
Seeing that the other party had no intention of shaking hands, Han Zhou withdrew his hand and sat down. The expectations on his face and in his heart had dropped to the bottom.
I don't really want to talk anymore.
He didn't turn hostile and leave, just to give face to Zhang Jiu and treated it as a casual chat.
The other party: "Do you know me?"
Han Zhou nodded: "You video, Manager Zhao."
Zhao Xiangcong.
Zhao Xiangcong smiled and said, "I've seen your movie, Hello Mr. Tree, which is currently showing in theaters."
"A new movie is being filmed so soon? And Ye Manyi is starring in it?"
"She only performed for a few days, but she was given the title of the female lead, right?"
Han Zhou only answered the first question with a smile: "This is how it is in this business. There is no such thing as rest time. Of course, the new movie must be shot quickly."
Zhao Xiangcong: "I heard that Hello Mr. Tree will lose a lot of money."
"There is no way this movie will ever reach 50 million at the box office."
"The loss will be at least 10 million."
The original investment in the film was several million, and Wang Xiya added several million more. Together with the follow-up work, the final film cost nearly nine million.
This was already a loss.
Wang Xiya wanted to win the award, so the various operations and promotions involved cost a huge amount of money.
Mailang and Global China also made great contributions in this regard.
Of course, they were trying to promote An Lan, not the movie.
However, different industries have different worlds. As a newcomer, An Lan's background is no longer a secret in the music industry, but it is not yet known to everyone in the film and television industry.
Therefore, Zhao Xiangcong may have judged that "Hello Mr. Tree" would suffer huge losses based on the situation he knew.
In fact, so far, Tianle feels that "Hello Mr. Tree" can make some money.
As long as the box office reaches 30 million, we can make money.
Although it's difficult.
After all, it is still unclear whether Han Zhou, An Lan, and Chen Feng’s fans can support so many box office revenues.
Real movie fans will not buy into art films.
But generally speaking, you won’t lose too much.
Zhao Xiangcong smiled and said, "The first movie lost money, so why are you so anxious to air the second one on a short video website?"
"The popularity of your "Superstar of Tomorrow" has been fading. How much online box office do you think it can sustain?"
Han Zhou no longer wanted to have a serious conversation with Zhao Xiangcong. He leaned back, put his legs on the table, took out a cigarette and lit it: "Let's start with 100 million."
Zhao Xiangcong was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled up: "Interesting."
"Let me put it this way. I can charge eight million for this movie and buy out the exclusive rights to the entire movie."
Han Zhou tilted his head and said, "Jiu, how much is Ye Manyi getting paid for the movies she takes now?"
Zhang Jiuquan was stunned for a moment: "Let's start with 15 million."
"If it were a TV series, the price for 40 episodes would have been 30 million."
Han Zhou smiled: "Ye Manyi, me, Liu Xi, Zhou Guoqing, this lineup is worth eight million?"
Zhang Jiuquan patted his chest and said, "There must be more than that. Anyone who thinks like this must have a problem with his brain!"
Han Zhou laughed: "Hahaha, I thought I was the only one with a problem in my brain."
Zhao Xiangcong did not get angry, but chuckled: "Xiao Han, let me ask you, what price do you want?"
Zhang Jiuquan jumped onto the table where the wine was placed: "How dare you!"
"Who do you think you are? Did you call me Xiao Han?"
"You're just a middle-level manager, you're just a mother!"
"Do you believe that I will make sure you can't leave Hengdian today?!"
Many people around looked over.
Then I saw a bearded man standing at the table, pointing at Zhao Xiangcong and cursing at him.
Zhao Xiangcong's face turned cold.
Zhang Jiuquan is a very smart man. Ever since Zhao Xiangcong didn't shake hands with Han Zhou, Zhang Jiuquan has been thinking about how to help Han Zhou express his attitude.
After Han Zhou showed his dissatisfaction, Zhang Jiuquan exploded.
As for Zhao Xiangcong, he had never heard of the name Han Zhou so far. He came here this time just to show off and lower the price.
Unexpectedly, the other party turned hostile.
You are a newcomer, and you are turning against me?
Zhao Xiangqian pushed the woman next to him away and stood up: "I want to see how you can keep me in Hengdian."
Han Zhou: "Nine, come down."
Zhang Jiuquan jumped down from the table.
Han Zhou stood up and said, "To be honest, as soon as I walked in, I reached out my hand to shake your hand."
"Because you are considered Party A."
"I thought the middle management of You Video had some quality, so it would be nice to have a chat with them."
"I was going to go back to Shudu to rest for a day, but you delayed me like this and wasted a day."
"I don't know what you are thinking, but I will tell you clearly that I, Han Zhou, have made note of this matter."
Zhang Jiuquan: "Boss, let's go. I don't know if this idiot has drunk too much and has damaged his brain. He is putting on airs in front of us."
"I guess he's used to playing with women who cost 500 yuan. He's never seen the world and doesn't know what value is."
Han Zhou pinched Zhang Jiuquan's thick neck and said, "How did the girl offend you? Don't talk like that next time."
Zhang Jiuquan looked at the lady next to Zhao Xiangcong and smiled, "Sorry, sir. I was drunk. I shouldn't have said anything nonsense. You should set a price of 3,000 per night from now on ."
The lady giggled.
Before Han Zhou left with a smile, he reminded her: "I don't know your business ability, and I'm not interested in knowing."
"May I remind you to open your You Video and take a look at the content on the homepage of You Video. Do you think I can contact you, Mr. Zhao, through You Video?"
After saying that, he left.
Zhao Xiangcong's face turned pale.
They say even if a deal fails, there is still friendship. How can you, a newcomer, be so outrageous?
The woman next to him turned on her phone and opened the YouTube video: "Hey, is this him?"
Zhao Xiangcong took a look and was stunned.
"Real Challenge", cover, Han Zhou stands in the main position.
Even Wang Mingyuan and Luo Daming, who gave up their troops, also gave up their main seats and could only stand aside.
Han Zhou and An Lan stood in the main seats, not looking uncomfortable at all.
…
At night, at four in the morning, there was a crackling sound downstairs.
Wang Chuyang, who was sharing a bed with Chen Xiaoyong, was upset by the noise and got up to look down from the window.
At the next window was Zhang Jiuquan. He lit a cigarette, was wearing a military coat, and was also looking down.
In the next window is Han Zhou.
At this time, many lights in nearby windows were turned on, and people were looking down.
It's snowing outside now, at four in the morning.
There was a table downstairs with a table full of dishes on it.
A man sat at the table in silence.
An old lady was sitting there, shivering with cold.
This old lady was the one who played mahjong in the afternoon while complaining about her daughter-in-law being lazy and not getting up until eight in the morning.
Her daughter-in-law is now holding a kitchen knife.
"Bang!" The kitchen knife hit the table, causing all the food and wine on the table to spill.
The woman shouted: "Shouldn't we cook at four in the morning? It's four in the morning now, and the meal is ready."
"eat!"
"Bang!" The kitchen knife was raised, and another one fell: "Eat quickly!"
The man picked up the chopsticks in silence.
The old lady looked at her daughter-in-law and was about to speak.
The kitchen knife made another big cut on the table with a bang.
The old lady finally gave in.
