Chapter 404: How can there be so many unexpected encounters

  Chapter 404 How can there be so many unexpected encounters

The reason why he is so defensive is that Xu Renshan knows that in the next few years, educational conflicts will become the focus of society, especially the issue of exam-oriented education in primary and secondary schools.

Even small problems will be magnified infinitely under the attention of public opinion.

This is why ten years later, the relevant departments made a one-size-fits-all approach to the other off-campus training institutions. It was clearly only aimed at the rectification of the compulsory education off-campus training institutions. It spread from the capital to the local areas, gradually expanding the scope and degree of rectification, and even the high school training in the non-compulsory education stage. Suppress.

Under an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

Another point is that it is not that Xu Renshan judges the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. His trust in Qian Kun is not that high.

Not to mention that there was not much interaction between the two in the previous life, and the understanding was not deep, but the ordinary friendship between college classmates simply cannot stand the test of money.

Especially, the opponent hidden behind is not short of money.

The so-called firmness of friendship is just that the money is not in place.

Among them, what makes Xu Renshan most vigilant is that he obviously does not hold shares directly by himself, and the mastermind behind the scenes is well aware of it, yet he still provides funds to Qian Kun.

From this point of view, the opponent has a lot of plans.

Putting aside this dark conjecture for the time being, Xu Renshan talked about the arrangements for noon: "It happens that Lao Hu and the others haven't gone to work today, so some of our old classmates have lunch together."

"Row."

"Then you are busy first, I have to go to the company, see you at noon."

"See you at noon."

After leaving the training institution, Xu Renshan drove to a middle school in Yushan.

This middle school house has a style of the 90s. The new movie starring Liu Fei and Hu Ge was filmed here. The crew also took advantage of the winter vacation to shoot more scenes, so they hurriedly started from the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. The official shooting took place.

However, after the members of the crew got the relatively thick New Year's red envelopes, they didn't have a single complaint, and they were all enthusiastic about their work.

Once the money is in place, there will be motivation to struggle.

When Xu Renshan came to the crew, it happened to be the scene where the two protagonists met in middle school, and it looked quite old.

I have to say that Liu Fei's appearance is very durable. At the age of twenty-four or five, she pretends to be a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl.

Compared to some TV dramas where 40-year-olds still play tender roles in teenage girls, it is several grades higher.

To describe it in one word, it might be 'first love'.

It can't be called first love either. With such good looks, it is basically the crush object of all boys when they first fall in love.

Even Hu Ge, with the efforts of the makeup artist, is only a little old-fashioned. After grinding the skin and adding some special effects, it is basically OK.

Relatively speaking, the shelf life of men's appearance is slightly stronger than that of women.

"Mr. Xu, what do you think of Feifei's image?"

Standing beside the young boss, Liu Xiaochen took the initiative to start the topic while drinking the coffee he just brought.

To be honest, when Liu Xiaochen first got the script, he was not sure.

After all, it’s just a pure love movie, how strong the feedback can be in today’s domestic movie market.

She didn't know the lead actor Hu Ge's salary, but Liu Fei's salary was only 2 million. Hu Ge, who hadn't made any achievements on the big screen, would be even lower. However, the investment for the whole film was only 35 million, and it was claimed to be 50 million.

You know, the previous costume movie in which Liu Fei was the heroine invested 80 million yuan, and the publicity was at least over 100 million yuan.

In contrast, Liu Xiaochen didn't expect too much, which is normal.

However, "Charlotte's Annoyance" which is currently being screened gave Liu Xiaochen a big surprise. You must know that the actual production cost of that movie was only 15 million. Now that it has been released for seven days, the box office has already reached 250 million.

According to the estimates of some experts on the Internet, the total box office of "Charlotte Annoyance" will reach 500 million.

It is also produced by Qingguo Entertainment, and with the combination of her daughter Liu Fei and Hu Ge's "Sword Feelings", Liu Xiaochen feels that the box office of this love movie will never be less than 400 million.

Even if there is a discount, there is still 300 million, and it will definitely surpass last year's costume movie.

At that time, the vase title of "box office poison" will inevitably disappear without a trace.

"Very good, Feifei's image is very suitable for modern urban love movies."

Looking at the beauty of Liu Tianxian who can be used as the background of the mobile phone screen, Xu Renshan expressed his full approval.

Based on this face, it would be a huge waste to bother to delve into Hollywood, which has little recognition for Asian beauties.

In China, with Liu Fei's peak appearance, choosing a better urban love script is definitely a big guarantee for the box office.

"Mr. Xu's reputation is too high. However, I think it is indeed a good start for Feifei to step out of the comfort zone of costume movies."

After a simple question, Liu Xiaochen began to compliment in daily communication: "This is all thanks to Mr. Xu, otherwise Feifei doesn't know when such a good opportunity will come."

"Ms. Liu is polite, even without me, Feifei will have a good chance."

On this point, Xu Renshan, who was polite in words, did his part in his heart.

In her previous life, Liu Fei had indeed starred in modern urban movies, but she had already passed the peak of her appearance, and her fortune was not so good.

Especially a certain co-produced movie, which directly caused Liu Tianxian to lose most of his domestic male fans, and he was no longer the same as before.

What Xu Renshan and many audiences remember deeply may be the confetti of a certain brand on the plane, which is not without failure.

From this aspect, Xu Renshan has made great contributions.

After all, after a few years of peak beauty, it is not so easy for Liu Fei to make achievements in this urban love movie. The audience is not a leek that can never grow.

"Mr. Xu, I heard that our company is planning to launch a sci-fi movie and cooperate with Hollywood's Paramount?"

Bringing the relationship between the two parties closer, Liu Xiaochen asked about the news that his daughter revealed two days ago, with a bright light in his eyes.

On the third day after the Lunar New Year, they had officially terminated their contract with the original foreign agency and established Liu Fei Studio, affiliated with Qingguo Entertainment.

Therefore, Liu Xiaochen used the word 'our company' without any violation.

"Yes, the project has not yet been officially approved, and we need to communicate with Paramount. If there are no accidents, preparations will start in May and June."

I mentioned it to Liu Tianxian that night in the capital, Xu Renshan was not surprised that Ms. Liu knew the reason for this inside information.

Originally, he just wanted to use this news to appease Ms. Liu, and let her know that joining Qingguo Entertainment will definitely not be inferior to foreign brokerage companies.

Otherwise, the restless Ms. Liu might have made some inappropriate choices without his knowledge.

Now that he has had an in-depth communication with him, Xu Renshan does not allow Liu Fei to have any other scandals, even if it is for the box office hype, it is not impossible.

"It's an honor for Feifei to meet Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu in her life."

Received the personal confirmation of the young boss, Liu Xiaochen was very happy, and thanked him.

In her opinion, Mrs. Xu was also responsible for the young boss taking such good care of Liu Fei.

Mrs strategy, always simple and efficient.

"Ms. Liu is too polite, but our company thinks Feifei has this potential."

Facing Ms. Liu's thanks, Xu Renshan naturally wouldn't say that in the sci-fi blockbuster he collaborated with Paramount, the heroine's role was not outstanding.

The two were chatting, and Liu Fei, who had a break in the middle, put on her coat, walked over with the hot milk tea handed by her assistant in both hands, and happily greeted someone: "Mr. Xu, good morning!"

"Good morning."

Smiling and nodding in response, Xu Renshan asked, "I came out to film just after the New Year, are you tired?"

"Not tired, this way life is more fulfilling."

Liu Fei is quite satisfied with the current work arrangement.

Before this, under the arrangement of her mother, she had a very full schedule.

Where it is like now, she can choose the best from many brands, arrange her time reasonably, and relax to a certain extent, laying a solid foundation for future popularity promotion.

Regardless of the fact that she made a lot of money in the past few years, she spent all her time working hard, and the pressure was not small.

It's a completely different day when you have a man you can count on.

"That's good. I have explained to the company that the low-grade announcements and endorsements will be put on hold first, and we will wait until your movie is released in the summer vacation."

Liu Tianxian's mother and daughter are both present, and Xu Renshan also directly stated the company's suggestion for her arrangement: "Some time after the filming is finished, the company can arrange for you to go to a space base to experience for a period of time, so as to prepare for the co-production of science fiction films in the second half of the year." Get ready. How do you feel?"

The other party is only attached to a private studio under the name of Qingguo Entertainment, and has great autonomy. Xu Renshan did not force the other party to spend a lot of time on the experience, anyway, the role of the heroine is not very important.

However, Xu Renshan felt that Ms. Liu was just a little eager for quick success and instant benefits without a better resource choice, and her brains were not bad, so she probably would not reject this proposal.

"I think it's good."

Hearing the arrangement of the young boss, Liu Fei smiled and nodded in response.

What she needs most at the moment is not how much money she makes, but to show the most impressive results in her best years and not regret her decision to step into the entertainment industry in this life.

What's more, for a sci-fi film with a lot of investment, it is a necessary professional quality for an actor to learn some basic knowledge.

"Then Feifei will trouble Mr. Xu to take care of her."

Regarding the itinerary mentioned by the young boss, Liu Xiaochen didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, and asked casually, "Mr. Xu, how much is the investment in that science fiction film?"

In the previous cooperation agreement signed by the two parties, Liu Fei's studio is also eligible to receive part of the film's investment share.

With the cooperation guarantee from Paramount, the probability of loss in this sci-fi blockbuster is infinitely smaller.

"100 million US dollars, if there is not enough follow-up, it will continue to increase."

After glancing at Ms. Liu, who still had the charm, Xu Renshan said the investment amount that the company had previously estimated.

Based on the preliminary memorandum of negotiation with Paramount, the other party will only provide 30 million US dollars in funds, and will be responsible for the important production part of the film, and Qingguo Entertainment will bear the rest of the funds.

It’s not that Paramount is not optimistic about the copyright of the adaptation of this novel, but that their company has invested in a lot of projects, and suddenly launching a new project in the original intensive plan is also a little tight on funds.

Based on the current capital flow of Qingguo Entertainment, it is somewhat difficult to come up with half of the 100 million US dollars. Many funds are in the special fund accounts of various project teams.

However, this project will not start until around June. At that time, many projects of Qingguo Entertainment have also been completed, and the funds are returned, but the pressure is not great.

Even so, Qingguo Entertainment will not contribute more than half of the investment alone, but will distribute these investment shares to other domestic counterparts, such as Huachen Sisters, Baida Pictures, Huaxia Pictures and so on.

It is impossible for one person to enjoy the cake alone. Otherwise, a film with such a large production cost will be shown in China when the time comes, why should those theaters prefer it.

The risk sharing of big-budget movies is the norm in the movie market.

"It's so high, then our studio will not invest in the share for the time being."

Hearing this huge investment, Liu Xiaochen was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile.

Even Liu Fei’s co-production blockbuster, which entered Hollywood before, had a production cost of less than 70 million U.S. dollars. It still invited two Kung Fu superstars with super high salaries, but the result was not satisfactory.

Who would have thought that Qingguo Entertainment has such great ambitions, the first movie it produced is still showing in theaters, and it will plan to invest 100 million US dollars in blockbuster movies later.

This is not too low in Hollywood where big productions gather.

It is conceivable that if Qingguo Entertainment is released to cooperate with Paramount in a sci-fi blockbuster, female stars who want to get the heroine of the movie can break through the company's threshold. Liu Fei is definitely very lucky to be able to book this role in advance.

In comparison, the resources in the Gangcheng circle she contacted before were really not very good.

"Well, the payback period for this film is not short. Although preparations began in June, it is likely that filming will not start until the end of the year, and the film will be released at least in the second half of next year."

Xu Renshan also expressed his understanding of this issue.

As far as the rate of return on investment in the movie "The Martian" is concerned, it is not as good as Liu Fei put the money into his Yushan Fund. Now Liu Fei's fund account is only 10 million.

"Mr. Xu, are you free tonight, may I invite you to have dinner with Sister Yuxuan?"

After talking about her future plans, Liu Fei took the initiative to invite the other party.

"No, we have something to do tonight, next time."

Glancing at the pure and lovely Liu Tianxian, Xu Renshan declined the other party's invitation.

It was agreed to have dinner at home tonight, and watch a movie with his wife in the home theater to pass the time after the meal. Naturally, he would not change the itinerary because of some non-essential things.

Anyway, Ms. Liu is here today, and it won't be too late to have dinner together next time.

"OK."

The brightness in her eyes was slightly restrained, and Liu Fei controlled her emotional changes so as not to be discovered by her mother next to her.

"I still have an appointment later, and I will visit the class next time."

Looking at his watch, Xu Renshan, who had been with the crew for more than half an hour, bid farewell.

He came here today just to see Liu Tianxian in the name of the inspector class, and he has no other ideas.

"Mr. Xu, walk slowly."

Sending the other party to the side of the car, watching the Bentley go away, Liu Xiaochen returned to the side of the crew.

Looking at her daughter who is busy again, she suddenly feels that the future is not so confused.



"Old Hu, Lao Bai, Lao Su, Happy New Year."

In the box of Qingshan Xiaozhu, Xu Renshan greeted four old classmates with a smile.

and Qian Kun just met in the morning, so there is no need to be polite.

"Happy New Year."

After replying, Su Jianping joked with a smile: "Why, your wife is so relieved that you come out alone?"

"My wife and I have a good understanding, which is unimaginable for you as a single dog."

Going back directly, Xu Renshan looked at Bai Jieyang and said, "Why didn't your monitor bring it here?"

"We old men are having dinner, why ask her to come here. Besides, she is still in her hometown, it is too far to come here."

Seeing the flames of war burning on him, Bai Jieyang directly used the transfer method: "I haven't ordered the food yet, you, a rich man, help me to take a look and order some special dishes."

"Heh, my net worth is blown out by others, what a rich man."

Waved his hand, Xu Renshan who sat down took the menu and said: "However, I still have the right to speak about the food."

While talking, Xu Renshan was not polite, and ordered several delicious dishes in succession, and then asked the waiter to start serving hot dishes.

They are all college classmates, so there is no need to be too polite, that way it will appear estranged.

"Come on, at the beginning of the new year, I would like to offer you a toast."

After the waiter poured the red wine that had been awakened in advance, Xu Renshan raised his glass and said to everyone with a smile.

His wife kept a few bottles of red wine in this restaurant, and he specially called to ask the other party to prepare them.

"Hey, you are all here."

Just as everyone had just finished their first sip of red wine, someone pushed the door and walked in, greeting them with a smile.
