Chapter 113 When happiness knocks on the door
The next morning, Cheng Yuan got up and received the data from Yinhuang.

"Despicable Street" premiered at zero o'clock, and the box office reported a box office receipt of 52, which doesn't look like much.

But it depends on who you compare it with. When "Kung Fu" was released in Hong Kong, the box office of the zero-point show was 87, a record since 97.

"Despicable Street" can have a zero score of 52, which is enough to make the sound emperor laugh.

"Yesterday was Thursday, and I have to go to work tomorrow. The box office potential of the audience has not been released yet. It depends on the box office of the first weekend." Li Yabo laughed.

Also released at the same time is Er Dongsheng's "A Thousand Cups Not Drunk", which was also released on 8.18, also starring Azu.

Azu hit himself, he was busy enough on both sides.

Cheng Yu'an will not be required to participate in the promotional schedule after "Despicable Street", and the next meeting will be after the National Day when "Despicable Street" is released in the mainland, and Cheng Yu'an has to show up.

"Howling mud." Cheng Yu'an was waiting for the plane in the terminal when he suddenly heard a very broken Chinese.

Cheng Yu'an looked up and saw a tall and mighty black man, about 50 years old, with a bald head and short white beard.

"English (English)? Franais (French)?" Cheng Yu'an is fluent in these two foreign languages.

He doesn't want to listen to foreigners' poor Chinese.

The black man immediately said in English: "Hello, my name is Chris Gardner, from the United States, I need to make a call back to the United States urgently, can I borrow your phone?"

There are public telephones at the airport, but obviously, the black brother is a bit hard to find.

"Of course." Cheng Yuan handed the phone to Chris.

Chris took his mobile phone and walked over to make a call, Cheng Yu'an also kept staring at him.

It is said that his phone will not be loaned out. There are many contact information of artists in it. If it is leaked, it will be very troublesome.

But seeing that the black brother was really in a hurry, Cheng Yu'an didn't care too much about other people's urgency.

Ten minutes later, Chris Gardner finished calling and sent it to Cheng Yu'an, said a few words of thanks, and sat down beside him to have a chat with him.

"I'm an investor, what's your occupation?"

"I'm a director." Cheng Yu'an put down the newspaper in his hand, "My name is Cheng Yu'an, I know my name is difficult to pronounce for you foreigners, you can call me Cheng."

"Jackie Chan's Chan?" Chris Gardner asked.

Cheng Yu'an didn't correct him either: "You can say that."

"Oh!" Big brother Cheng's influence abroad is unmatched, "You are a director, do you know Jackie Chan?"

"I've seen him, but I don't know him yet." Cheng Yu'an said truthfully.

Chris was a little disappointed, but still very happy: "I have a hunch that you will know him in the future, don't forget to ask for an autograph then."

"Of course, I'd love to see him again."

Cheng Yu'an and Chris just chatted without saying a word. More often, Chris was talking and Cheng Yu'an was listening.

Through conversation, Cheng Yu'an learned that this Chris was a small boss who was a stockbroker on Wall Street when he was young, and later started his own business with a wealth management company.

Now that I am getting older, my energy is not as good as before, and I am in a semi-retired state: "I want to visit the mysterious East. I have been to Japan, South Korea, and Iran, but I still like China the most."

Chris Gardner began to introduce his travel experience: "I want to write my experience in China into my book."

Cheng Yu'an smiled and said, "Are you planning to write a book?"

"Yes, Cheng, I'm retiring soon and I'm working on my autobiography. Well..." Chris Gardner paused, "Although I didn't read much when I was a child, I have been reading and reading newspapers since I started working. Trust me to write well."

"Have you thought about the name of the book?" Cheng Yu'an asked.

"I just thought about it a few days ago, what do you think of the name "When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door"?" Chris Gardner said, "You are a director, and you must know this better than me."

"This is such a good name!" Cheng Yu'an suppressed the joy in his heart.

No matter how hard he thinks, he will never be able to meet the original author of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" on Hong Kong Island.

"Chris," Cheng Yu'an asked, "are you interested in bringing this story to the big screen?"

"You mean make my story into a movie?" Chris Gardner asked.

"Yes, I have a film company in the United States that can help you with this. Republishing your book when the movie is released can drive a lot of sales, and your book will definitely be on the bestseller list!" Many authors in the United States rely on a Bestsellers last a lifetime.

Then Cheng Yu'an introduced him to a big film company in Hollywood.

"OMG!" Chris Gardner exclaimed, "So you made Saw! Can you introduce me to James Wen? My kids and I absolutely love this movie." Cheng , please tell me, when will "Saw 2" be released? Our family is waiting!"

Unexpectedly meeting fans overseas, Cheng Yu'an said: "Chris, "Saw 2" will be released in the United States in two months, and I will definitely ask James to give you a set of signed Blu-ray discs."

"Thank you. The magical East will indeed bring surprises to people. It seems that I borrowed your phone today." Chris is very grateful for what happened to him today, "OK, Cheng, I agree with you to adapt my story. When it is released, I will definitely invite my family, friends and employees to watch it."

"Chris, you can be the producer of this film and participate in the shooting of the film, and you can even play a role in the camera."

"Can I act in a movie too?"

"Of course, you just play yourself, meet the protagonist in the film, and bring him encouragement and courage."

The two talked for a while in the waiting hall and boarded the plane together, the same flight to the capital.

After returning to the capital, Cheng Yuan entertained Chris for a few days, and then let him play in the capital by himself.

Cheng Yu'an still has two projects in hand, one is "Crazy Stone", Ning Hao is working on the finalized script, and one is Cheng Er's "Sunflower", the script has come out, and it has also been sent to Andy Lau and Guang Liang. No objection, allocated 300 million to Cheng Er.

Zhang Yi has been confirmed as the leading actor. Zhang Yi played a small supporting role in Cheng Yu'an's "The Notebook of Lian Lian" before, but now Cheng Yu'an is pulling him to play the leading role. He was so happy that he jumped three feet high.

After "Lianlian Notebook", he worked in the troupe for another two years, and finally got his own male lead.

Although I heard that the investment of "Sunflower" is only 300 million, it is limited compared to the grass team.

But he doesn't care, as long as there is a play, let alone a project of Cheng Yu'an and Andy Lau.

Cheng Yu'an was a little worried about Zhang Yi at first, worried that if he filmed for him so early, it would change his acting mentality.

But the fact is that he thought too much. After two years, when he saw Zhang Yi again, he was still so down-to-earth. Although Zhang Yi was 4 years older than him, his respect and respect for the drama was still the same as that of Yuan Shikong. as enthusiastic.

Although he was very happy to be able to play the leading role so quickly, he fell into a deep fear when he was happy, for fear that he would mess up the scene if he couldn't act well.

Since he was confirmed to play the role, he turned down all the work in the troupe and immersed himself in the characters.

"Have you decided on who to play the role of sister?" Cheng Yu'an saw that Cheng Lingfeng was worrying about the casting of "Sunflower".

Cheng Lingfeng turned her pen: "I wanted to give it to Sissy, but now she is so focused on singing that she has no extra energy to devote to filming. Besides, her mother has read the script and thinks this is not good. She is the heroine in name, but in reality it is just the male lead." Embellishment, and did not agree to let Sissy act."

"Forget it," Cheng Yu'an said, "I'll introduce you to a girl for this role."

　No recommendation, a week of streaking, brothers give me some strength.
