Chapter 289 Bob Is Retiring

Liu Yifei also had a New Year's Eve dinner with him on the 30th night, and left after eating.

She took a lot of activities and parties at the end of the year, and this meal was all made out of time to come over.

"Apologize to grandpa for me." Liu Yifei said to Cheng Yu'an before getting in the car and leaving.

"It's okay, they all understand." After sending his girlfriend to the car, Cheng Yu'an also left.

The Spring Festival Gala is becoming more and more boring, especially this year.

The two old men went to rest after watching it for a while, feeling bored. Cheng Yu'an was stunned to see Uncle Benshan's "Donation", and went back after reading it with a sigh.

Throughout the night, Cheng Yu'an's phone calls never stopped.

"Happy New Year, Mr. Ren, let's go, let's drink tea together then."

"No problem, no problem, Mr. Wang, as long as it's suitable, you can bring it here."

"Happy New Year, Director Han, we won't be making blockbuster movies, let's take a break and bring some newcomers to the company. No problem, no problem, I'll give you the script as soon as possible."

"I earn a lot of hard money in the United States. I don't have distribution channels in the United States. They distribute it globally, so I can't get in. At most, I can send a DVD to a video website and it will end."

Some called to pay New Year's greetings, and some came to set up projects in the name of New Year's greetings.

"Boss, Happy new year!" It was Bob who called, a foreigner waiting eagerly for the Lunar New Year call to visit.

"Bob, are you in good health?" Cheng Yu'an asked with concern.

"It's okay. I believe I can hold on for a while longer, but you need to find me a successor as soon as possible. Judy is already making an appointment for a doctor for me. I'm afraid I won't be able to work for you anymore."

"Well, Bob, I hope you can persist until May, when I will send someone to take over the company's affairs."

Bob's body is getting worse day by day, Judy has not allowed him to overwork, and Bob is also trying to delegate power to the following people: "Cheng, James and Ray wrote a new horror movie script called "The Further ("Foreign Spirits", the original name of "Latent")."

"Whatever, his horror movies don't cost much, so you don't need to report this matter to me." Wen Ziren's horror movies cost 300 million to 500 million yuan, and Cheng Yu'an has always been created by him.

"Cheng, I bought the adaptation rights of a novel earlier, and it will be launched next month."

"what story?"

"The title of the book is "The Dark Fields". It is written by a not-so-famous Irish writer. It tells the story of a lost writer who accidentally got a magic medicine. In the efficacy of the magic medicine, but also gradually lost in the side effects of the magic medicine."

Cheng Yu'an felt very familiar after listening to this story, and thought, isn't this "Super Body"?

But he remembered that there was no original novel in "Super Body", so he asked Bob: "What's the name of the movie? Who are you going to invite to act?"

"The movie is called 'Never Ending' and it stars Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro."

"Okay," Cheng Yu'an realized that this is not "Super Body", but another drug-addiction film earlier than "Super Body", "This movie sounds good, and the cost is not too high, don't worry about it. Come on, Bob."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yu'an thought, "Never Ending" has been done, there is no reason to let "Super Body" go.

The two films are too similar, but the focus is different. "Never Ending" has more literary dramas, and the hang-ups are still restrained. Become a god.

To put it simply, the two films use the same setting, but "Super Body" is more exciting and naturally has a higher box office.

Fireworks and firecrackers have been banned in the capital for a long time. Cheng Yuan wrote the script in an empty house until late at night, and there was not even a ghost screaming outside the window. During this period, Liu Yifei called and talked to him for a while. Cheng Yuan saw that it was not early Well, I just washed up and went to bed.

On the first day of the Chinese New Year the next day, Cheng Yuan came to the company first.

"Happy New Year, Director Cheng."

"Happy New Year."

"Hello, Director Cheng."

"Good good."

Remote media is still inhumane and has no holidays this year. People in this industry have no holidays at all.

But fortunately, Remote Media has money, various subsidies, blessings and overtime pay are in place, and they leave work early during the holidays. For example, today, except for essential employees, Remote Media only works half a day and can leave at [-] o'clock in the afternoon.

"Has the zero box office come out?" Cheng Yu'an saw that Cheng Lingfeng was looking at something.

"It's out." Cheng Lingfeng read to the paper, "The box office of "33 Days of Broken Relationship" was 138 million yuan, plus the previous screenings, the box office exceeded 210 million yuan."

Cheng Yu'an nodded, but did not respond.

On the contrary, Cheng Lingfeng was very excited: "200 million, I can collect 2000 million on the first day, and it should not be a problem to break through 800 million in the first week. The cost of this film is only [-] million. There is such good news on the first day of the new year, and I can have a good year gone."

Cheng Yu'an had expected such a good result in "33 Days of Broken Relationship". He told his little aunt, "Bob is going to retire."

"Bob? Which Bob?" Cheng Lingfeng reacted, "Is your American manager, isn't he only in his fifties and is retiring?"

"He's not in good health, and he's going to see a doctor for recuperation after working for a few months." Cheng Yu'an put his mind on his little aunt, "I don't feel relieved to give it to others in the United States, you go."

Cheng Lingfeng smiled and said, "It's not impossible for me to go, what should I do if I go to the United States?"

"Hire a professional manager to take care of it, or let Zhixi take over." Cheng Yu'an said.

"Zhixi can't, she's a production company, she's too young to be the boss." Cheng Lingfeng said, "I have a pretty good candidate."

"Who?"

"Zhong Lifang."

"Who do I think, you can dig him?"

"I talked to her before. She has already become the general manager of Pony Pictures and the vice president of Pony Group. If you don't tell me, I will poach her to be my vice president."

"Oh, I see." Cheng Yu'an smiled, "So you asked Xiao Ma to cooperate with "33 Days of Broken Love", and you came up with Zhong Lifang's idea."

"Yeah. I've made up my mind. I will cooperate with Xiao Ma again in "The Dark Side" and find a chance to get in touch again. As long as she lets go, I can poach her here by June at the latest."

"Why does your script sound so familiar to me?" Cheng Yu'an said.

"That's what Huayi did to dig Chen Guofu." Cheng Lingfeng didn't know what Cheng Yu'an wanted to say.

On the other side, the beaming crew of "33 Days of Broken Relationship" is running publicity in other places.

"33 Days of Broken Love" has a zero box office of 200 million and has become the biggest dark horse in the Spring Festival.

Who would have thought that this film could survive the fierce competition.

A newcomer to actor Yishuier, Teng Huatao is also a newcomer in the film industry.

"I am very grateful to the audience and friends for their love," screenwriter Bao Jingjing said on stage. This film is good because of her script. "I wrote this story on the Internet after my boyfriend and I had a fight. I didn't expect Mr. Cheng to see it. , She thought the story was pretty good, so she contacted me and said she wanted to adapt my story. I thought, what the hell, quarrel with me, I'll just use your story to make some money, and then I have this script."

Ha ha ha ha! !
Bao Jingjing's speech won applause.

"There is a TV series to be filmed in the future. As for the film, it depends on the company's arrangement." Yang Mi said, "I feel lucky to receive such a good script. The main reason is that the story is good, and I didn't pay much attention to the big production."

Yang Mi is very proud now, "33 Days of Broken Relationship" is her big screen heroine debut, and it is a foregone conclusion that it will exceed [-] million yuan. She is very satisfied with this report card.
