Chapter 244 Going to America
Lin Mu's casting was not as intense as Adrian's. There were quite a few middle-aged male actors in their 50s and [-]s, but there were only a few who caught Cheng Yu'an's eye.

"Under the Dawn" is still on the wave, and even fewer come when they are free.

Therefore, Cheng Yu'an adopted an invitation system for Lin Mu's casting and did not accept resumes.

Entering the May Day holiday, "Nanjing!Nanjing! "continued to take the lead, and won 3600 million box office in the three days of the holiday, and 1400 million on May Day alone.

From its release to the present, the two consecutive weeks of big sales have allowed Lu Chuan to successfully enter the 1.22 million yuan club - "Nanjing!Nanjing! "After May Day, the box office successfully reached [-] million.

Lu Chuan became the seventh billionaire club member after Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Chen Kaige, Wu Ershan, Cheng Yu'an, and Ning Hao.

Lu Chuan laughed from ear to ear at the celebration party. The reporter asked him if "Nanjing!Nanjing! "The box office really broke 1.5 million, will he really run away.

He patted his chest and promised that if the 1.5 million yuan was broken, his promise would be fulfilled.

Floating belongs to yes.

The May [-]th schedule ends with the release of "Wolverine".

"Wolverine" was released on Sunday on the 3rd, and received 1000 million on the first day, which is a good result.

On the [-]th, the casting team of "Inception" finished all work and returned to the United States with a lot of audition materials.

Cheng Yu'an brought his girlfriend with him, and the two went to the United States to deal with the company's affairs first, and then flew to Europe for a vacation.

The young lady is looking forward to this trip very much. This is the first time that the two have traveled together in a year.This year, apart from healing her injuries, Liu Yifei usually participated in a few activities and received a few commercial performances. She had a lot of spare time, but Cheng Yuan was too busy.

Now that the filming of "The Wind" is finally finished, and "The Martian" is being watched at the end, there is still more than a month before the filming of "Inception" starts, and the two of them have nearly a month to come out.

Ms. Liu was jet-lagged at home, and Cheng Yu'an got off the plane, put down her luggage and went to the company.

"Cheng, last year we tried to make a TV series for the first time, and the results were not bad. The first episode of "Edge of Crisis" was a bit dismal, with only 900 million people watching. This is obviously not enough for the production cost of the first episode of 1000 million US dollars. I watched it. But the second episode performed well, retaining 1400 million viewers. Now that the first season has been aired, the highest number of viewers is 1840 million, and the average viewership is also 1530 million. FOX has renewed our subscription for the third season .”

In the original time and space, "Edge of Crisis" was exclusively produced by Fox, and now it is jointly funded by itself and Fox. season, the script for the second season is being written.

"It's precisely because of this, ahem!" Bob coughed violently while speaking.

"Bob, are you ok?"

"It's okay, I've already seen a doctor." Bob didn't take his illness seriously, "Cheng, because "Edge of Crisis" has done well, and CBS is also interested in cooperating with us on TV dramas."

"CBS? Do "The Big Bang Theory" for us?" Cheng Yu'an joked.

"The Big Bang Theory is CBS's cash cow, so he won't give it up. He wants to cooperate with us in new dramas." Bob Hui reported.

"CBS is also short of dramas?" How could such a big TV station buy dramas from him.

"He has no shortage of dramas, but he also wants to expand into new genres. Now American audiences generally respond that CBS dramas are too single in genre, including comedy and crime. Although they are all good-looking, audiences hope to see other genres on CBS. TV drama."

"So they didn't make a special trip to find us to cooperate? They just asked if we have any new dramas?"

"I think so."

Whether there are dates or not, it's just a shot.

Cheng Yu'an pondered for a while, and said: "I saw a lot of scripts in the company's script library, and I can pick a few to talk to CBS. I read "The Good Wife" by Robert King and his wife is very good.

"It's still the crime mystery genre that CBS is good at, but it's told from a female perspective, and I think CBS will be interested."

Crime suspense is one of CBS's basic boards. Adding some innovative elements while stabilizing the basic board is a good way to attract viewers.

"I also think this drama is good. Robert King and his wife are my friends for many years. They haven't filmed much in the past few years. I bought their script and they are very happy." Bob explained that he spent money to buy his friend's script .

"Bob, easy, you are the best professional manager in Hollywood and a good friend I trust. The show you bought is really good. I don't mean to blame you."

"The Good Wife", translated as "The Proud Wife", Cheng Yu'an saw this drama in the company's script library, and his face was crooked. He couldn't blame Bob.

"Cheng, I need to tell you about the movie. I have invested in two movies before." Bob is the executive CEO, and the investment of less than 4000 million US dollars can be decided by himself without reporting to Cheng Yu'an.

"Oh, talk about it."

"One is a British biopic about King George VI."

"George VI?"

"The father of the Queen of England now."

"He." Cheng Yu'an understood that the investment in biographical films is generally not very high, "OK, we have a good relationship with the British film industry. As long as the cost of this biographical film is not high, we can support them."

"Not high, the director is going to find Tom Hope, a veteran of biopics, he is a guy who can save money."

"The other film is called The Social Network, which is a project we collaborated with Columbia, we produced and they distributed."

Upon hearing this movie, Cheng Yu'an almost jumped up!But he still pretended to be calm and asked Bob: "I don't know what story it tells after hearing this name."

Bob patiently explained: "This is a movie about Zuckerberg founding Facebook."

Then listen to Bob tell the story of The Social Network.

"OK, Bob, "The Social Network" can also be regarded as a biopic. I think it can be made, but the combined cost of the two films cannot exceed 6000 million US dollars."

"Don't worry, Cheng, I'll make arrangements."

Cheng Yu'an took the initiative to ask Bob: "How is "Tron: Legacy" going?"

"The filming of "Tron: Legacy" started in Vancouver last month. I went to see it. The two actresses you recommended performed very well."

Jing Tian played the heroine Kwai La, while Xi Jie recommended Pei Dou Na.

The film "Creation: Legacy" is not the focus of Cheng Yu'an's attention. Anyway, he has recovered the cost, and the company has also sent a producer to follow, and the most important special effects personnel have also been stuffed into the crew by him to study.

This film can make the best money, but it can't make money.

Cheng Yu'an was in the company again sorting out the accounts and listening to reports from the heads of various departments, and didn't leave the company until early in the morning.

When I came back with food, I saw that the young lady was still sleeping, so I didn't wake her up.After eating, she simply washed up and got into bed. The young lady touched someone in her sleep, held Cheng Yu'an's hand in her arms, and continued to sleep next to him.
