Chapter 387 The Riddler is the Most Hateful

People in the entertainment industry are usually very busy, and their free time is often staggered. It is very difficult for friends to make appointments for dinner, entertainment and fitness.

Coincidentally, so many people gathered together for a meeting, so they clamored to come for a few rounds immediately after eating.

It doesn't matter if there is no mahjong at home, there are many assistants, just ask any assistant to buy it now.

While everyone was pushing and shoving, four actresses, Kong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Zhao Yanzi, and Gao Yuanyuan each occupied a table.

Fang Nan, Cheng Long, Wang Jiawei, Zhang Yimou, Liang Chaowei and a group of agents and assistants became bystanders.

As the saying goes, the character of the brand is based on the quality of the brand, and the four of them played a few cards to show their respective personalities to the fullest.

Kong Li's style of playing cards is open and close, which is almost the same as her style of doing things in life. She eats when she wants to eat and touches what she can touch.

Every time Zhang Ziyi draws a card, she has to show the good and bad cards on her face, smiling triumphantly from time to time.

Gao Yuanyuan was the least assertive, he turned around and asked Fang Nan if he wanted it, hesitantly lost a few times in a row, and he was destined to lose more than win tonight.

Zhao Yanzi is very good at playing cards, she is a bit like Wang Xifeng in "Dream of Red Mansions", she wants to hold all the good things in her hands, she is too clever.

There were too many big smoking guns in the house, Zhao Yanzi could hardly leave his hand, Fang Nan took a few of them and took his son out of the house, went to the front yard with Wang Jiawei and others to drink tea to sober up.

After pouring tea for several people, Cheng Long asked curiously, "How much did you buy when you entered the yard? It's bigger than my yard."

"I bought it in 04 and added messy decoration later, it was less than 1000 million yuan. Don't even think about buying it now."

Wong Kar Wai: "House prices in the Mainland have grown too much. If things go on like this, they may catch up with Xiangjiang."

Fang Nan said with a smile: "I guess it's a bit difficult. If it's too outrageous, we will definitely take action to control it. The high housing prices in Xiangjiang are mostly due to capital factors, and there are also objective factors due to the small location."

"When will "The Wandering Earth" be released in North America?"

After Fang Nan finished urinating for his son, Lao Mouzi took up the conversation.

"It's not confirmed yet. I almost didn't do it in the later stage. I will fix it in two days."

"Are you afraid that the two movies will collide in North America?" Fang Nan was curious and wanted to laugh.

The North American market is so big, and the collision of two Chinese-language films has affected their North American box office. He probably would wake up laughing in his dreams.

The impact of the collision period on the box office generally refers to two big-budget movies.

The fact that Chinese-language films have achieved this does not mean that they have gained a place in the world's largest film market?
How is it possible now.

"Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" is considered a success if it exceeds US$1000 million at the box office in North America.

"Of course I'm afraid of hitting the deadline. You opened up the situation in North America with mainstream movies. When "Thirteen Hairpins" and "The Wandering Earth" collide, you can't be crushed? How do you hear it? You seem to be not optimistic about the North American box office of "The Wandering Earth" ? There is a problem with the quality of the movie?"

"It should be because he is afraid that the actor will not be accepted." Wong Kar Wai told the truth in one word.

Fang Nan is also an old director who makes commercial films, he doesn't quite believe that he will play off.

But Lao Mouzi doesn't quite agree with Wong Kar Wai's statement.

"It is true that a Chinese actor may not be recognized, but his popularity can completely avoid this problem. No matter which film market, as long as the director makes achievements, the audience will definitely have a tendency."

"No one can say for sure, three months will come soon, let's see when the time comes."

Fang Nan spoke out at the right time to let the two directors stop arguing about meaningless things.

He himself is worried that the actors will affect the box office, and he is also afraid that the quality of "The Wandering Earth" will not keep up. After all, "The Martian" has a good reputation.

But how should I put it, if he does what he should do, even if the box office is not satisfactory, he can accept it.

He never thought of using one or two movies to make North American audiences fully accept him, accept Chinese actors, Chinese-language movies, and even Chinese culture. Everything has to be done step by step.

North American audiences have to gradually get used to Chinese actors and Chinese-language movies.

After reviewing his personal plan, Fang Nan calmed down and asked Liang Chaowei with a smile: "Tony, why don't you drink tea, do you want some more pastries?"

Tony Leung is an extremely boring and boring person, no one talks to him, he can sit still for a long time, and he is better after drinking.

"No, no, you're too polite." Liang Chaowei waved his hand.

"If he doesn't drink it, it means that your tea making skills are too poor. Tony is an expert in making tea." Wong Kar Wai took the initiative to break the news.

Cheng Long, who was lying on the sofa, also said: "In the past, when Liu Jialing, Princess Wang, and Leslie Cheung were playing mahjong, Liang Chaowei was responsible for making tea for them."

"That's right, let me tell you earlier, I've always been very casual about making tea and drinking." Fang Nan pushed the kettle to Liang Chaowei while speaking.

A group of people left Fang's house in two groups before 12:[-] midnight. Zhao Yanzi, who was killing all directions at the poker table, even wanted to fight until dawn, but was directly driven away by Fang Nan.

She didn't think about entertainment, she wanted to make a fortune by playing mahjong, and Gao Yuanyuan lost miserably.

The next day, before dawn, Fang Nan got out of bed while Gao Yuanyuan and Fang Qin were sleeping soundly.

Today is his daughter's first day officially entering elementary school, so he has to go and see her anyway.

Brand new schoolbag, bright red scarf, two short ponytails and a rosy little face, the little girl should be so cute.

The reality is that the little girl stood in the yard, very quietly waiting for Zeng Li to come out of the house slowly.

Fang Nan scratched his head: "Girl, let's get in the car and wait for Mom."

"Yeah." Zeng Wanzhuo jumped into the back row and put on the seat belt by herself.

Along the way, Zeng Wanzhuo seldom opened his mouth, and only took the initiative to answer when someone asked.

Not long after, Fang Nan and Zeng Li watched their daughter walk into the school gate on her own.

"Are you a little too self-disciplined and precocious?" Fang Nan frowned and looked at Zeng Li.

"What's so precocious at the age of six or seven, anyway, if my daughter has any troubles, I will never end with you." Zeng Li got into the car angrily.

Fang Nan was depressed, his life was beyond words.

In the courtyard, because of his son, he was even deprived of the right to snore by Gao Yuanyuan.

In Yonghe villa, because of his daughter's change of temperament, he was frantically dissed and threatened by Zeng Li.

The two sides were not on good terms, Fang Nan felt that it was better to pack up and go to Pujiang to do some work, as there was a lot of work to be done.

"I've been quite free recently, and I took my son to live in Pujiang for a while."

"The dubbing of the two dramas of Yinhe Video has been completed?"

Gao Yuanyuan: "It's already done."

Fang Nan nodded his head: "Then let's go together, but I may not have much time to wander around with you."

"You are busy with your work, my son and I will go for a casual stroll." Gao Yuanyuan glanced at Fang Nan.

Fang Nan blinked, and his tone seemed to be planning to go to Pujiang, what's the matter?

He didn't know at all that Gao Yuanyuan was suspicious of his self-indulgence in the past two years and frequently watched his daughter's operations, or believed that he and Zeng Li were broken, and their divorce was just a cover.

In fact, the two have been secretly keeping Chen Cang in the dark.

But Gao Yuanyuan didn't bother to fight anymore, he beat the mandarin ducks to drive away Zeng Li, and there were all kinds of other glasses if they were not in order, so Fang Nan can only be blamed for being a bad embryo who attracts dung beetles and donkey-headed flies.

"bah bah bah"

On the passenger plane, Fang Nan looked at the saliva on his arm, and looked at Gao Yuanyuan inexplicably: "What are you doing? Have a little quality, you're on the plane."

"Got it, let's read your book."

Gao Yuanyuan finished speaking angrily, and began to meditate again.

Since she couldn't fight emotionally, she naturally wanted to fight for something else for her son, so there was this trip to Pujiang.

Fang Qin turned one year old. Because there is no birthday, many people in the company don't know what Fang Qin looks like. She has to take her son to the company to have a look.

After taking off in the morning, I went to the rest room of the Oriental Movie Metropolis and it happened to be meal time.

"I'll go to the company cafeteria to order food, and I'll order it around noon." Fang Nan took a basin from the kitchen, took out his employee card, and said to Gao Yuanyuan.

Gao Yuanyuan hesitated for a while: "Let's go together and see how your company's cafeteria is."

"Come up if you think it's appropriate." Fang Nan patted the back seat of the electric car.

He didn't mind her going to the cafeteria, but it was really inconvenient for her to ride an electric car with a child in her arms and a white dress on her feet.

Moreover, if he is famous, he is afraid of causing a sensation.

Gao Yuanyuan insisted on going, Fang Nan could only start the car slowly, and arrived at the destination in a few minutes.

Since several companies share a canteen, Tangtang Film and Television Canteen is a five-story building, with a rest hall on the first floor and canteens on the second to fifth floors.

There is no classification, but no matter how good the rules are, there are always loopholes. The fifth floor is full of tricks, and the more expensive dishes naturally make the fifth floor a special canteen for staff.

Out of sight and out of mind, Fang Nan would rather buy and cook by himself than come to the cafeteria to eat.

After driving the electric car, Gao Yuanyuan also put down Fang Qin, and the family of three strolled into the hall.

"Ah."

Seeing the elevator button, Fang Qin yelled twice, and then ran over with his calves. Fang Nan couldn't understand why this kid had a soft spot for pressing the elevator.

Owe!
"Let's go to the fifth floor later, there is my box on the fifth floor."

When Gao Yuanyuan hugged his son and clicked the elevator button, Fang Nan reminded him.

After he finished speaking, the elevator opened, and a group of high-spirited employees showed their true faces. When they saw Fang Nan, they were taken aback for the first time, and then either shouted "Brother Nan" or "President Fang" with various accents.

Fang Nan nodded, looked at the group of people standing there dumbfounded, and said, "Can't you go up? Don't go up and come down, I'm in a hurry to eat."

After kicking a group of people off the elevator, Fang Nan and some employees who came later walked in. The elevator was very depressed during the ascent, except for Fang Qin pestering Gao Yuanyuan to press the button, no one said anything.

Fang Nan thought it was strange, he was not considered an amiable boss, nor could he be so vicious.

He didn't know it at all. He scolded himself in front of the media. The follow-up was that hundreds of employees of the company had been fired, which made other employees feel a great sense of oppression.

The pressure on employees is mainly due to the company's good benefits and reluctance to leave.

Except for Fang Nan Culture, the companies under Fang Nan's name commute to and from get off work as usual, such as Tang Tang Film and Television, and 13 Swordsmen work overtime as a daily routine.

Tired, but the salary is not worse than that of state-owned enterprises and foreign enterprises.

The benefits are much higher than those of peer companies. There are so many people who want to join the company with such good benefits. If they are kicked out, will they be sad to death?

So many employees saw that they could ignore the rules, and Fang Nan, who could decide whether the employees would stay or not, naturally preferred to talk less than think about flattering them.

When we reached the fifth floor, there were more people saying hello. If you are able to reach the manager level, you have to be a good person, and you are unlikely to show timidity.

Entering the hall, there are more familiar faces.

"Crack, creak, Brother Nan. Director Fang"

"Good guy, why do so many big names come to the company cafeteria to grab a meal?"

Shen Teng, Jia Ling, Ma Li.
More than a dozen members of Happy Twist, as well as the Jia Ling team and the Deyun Club team saw Fang Nan's family of three popping up suddenly, threw the chair under their buttocks half a meter away, and those who knew each other hurriedly got up and shouted.

"We are recording "Happy Comedian" next door. Have you, Yuanyuan, and the baby eaten? Come eat with us?"

Ma Li and Fang Nan were the most acquainted and had the fastest response. After explaining clearly, they invited Fang Nan along the way.

Fang Nan shook his head: "No, let's eat roast lamb at noon, you are not afraid to make your opponent faint when we record the show?"

"Then Wei Xiang insists on eating, what can we do?" Shen Teng spread his hands and threw the blame at Wei Xiang.

"Then sit down and eat slowly, don't stand up, Jia Ling and you too."

Fang Nan waved his hands at several tables, and walked to the vegetable window. The dishes are very rich. I dare not say that there are all the major Chinese cuisines, but at least half of them are there.

After discussing with Gao Yuanyuan, Fang Nan and Gao Yuanyuan ordered four vegetarian dishes and two meat dishes, and a soft-shelled turtle soup was brought into the private room.

"Is the company's canteen contracted to the hotel, or is the company managing it?" In the private room, Gao Yuanyuan asked in a low voice after taking a sip of soup.

"Managed by Tang Tang Film and Television, all the ingredients come from boutique supermarkets."

Gao Yuanyuan muttered: "There are too many dishes, it's too wasteful."

"No way, sometimes I have to believe in the fallacy that when water is clear, there will be no fish, so I can be greedy in my demands on some people, but I can't be greedy without a bottom line."

"clatter"

"Hey kid, hurry up."

Fang Nan glanced at his son who slapped the table.

"dong dong"

"Come in."

"Brother Nan, tell me earlier, we'll wait for you to eat together."

Lu Qing, Cai Yinong, Yan Hong and other branch presidents walked in together with a group of directors.

"The identity is different. Don't call Brother Nan long and Brother Nan short."

After Fang Nan corrected Lu Qing's address, he put down his chopsticks and said, "It's the same at any time, so let me tell you something first."

"Well, what?"

"The filmmakers in Xiangjiang are acting like moths again. They want to hold the Golden Image Awards again. You go to the General Administration to apply for a film awards ceremony in the name of Douyin Video."

"It's easy to do. I'll let Yang Hao do it in the afternoon."

Lu Qing thought for a while and then said: "Actually, I have always disapproved of you going to the Xiangjiang Film Festival, Brother Nan. It is thankless, but as you said, an entrepreneur without family and country feelings is just a greedy capitalist. It has become a century-old enterprise, so I can only follow you."

"Damn, I'm not Song Gongming. Don't worry, everyone. We must stand up and earn money and still be convinced."

"So what's the next step for our companies? Maintain the status quo and grow bigger and stronger?" Yan Hong smiled.

"In 12 and 13, expand the existing business and accumulate funds at the same time."

"Lu Qing, the Douyin video under Guangying Technology must develop rapidly and accelerated. Whether several companies can become multinational companies in one step depends on whether I can gain a firm foothold in North America, and the other depends on the short video of Douyin video. Development and popularization, and when will the international version be launched."

"Understood, various news channels have learned that 4G will come soon."

Fang Nan nodded and looked at Yan Hong: "I asked you to buy a medium-sized toy factory on the phone, did you take it to heart?"

"I'm looking for it, can you tell me what the toy factory is going to do?"

Fang Nan shook his head and picked up his chopsticks again: "I don't know, let's buy a family first."

Cai Yinong, Yan Hong, Lu Qing, Yang Hao, Jiang Ping and others were all speechless, the Riddler is the most hateful one.

　The hair is slow today, mainly because I was numb from the heat at work, and it will continue to be 39 degrees tomorrow, shit!
