Huayu, my wife, I support myself

Chapter 186 187. Become tough 【Subscription】

No one thought of it.

Lu Chen's second movie was able to earn 8 million at the box office.

Lu Chen was quite satisfied with the result.

The movie "Initial D" was quite well known in the previous life.

A typical case of using small things to make big things.

media.

With the release of "Initial D", its total box office also triggered a large-scale report.

The higher-ups seemed to want to praise Lu Chen as well.

That's what the literary newspaper said.

"A new generation of directors is taking over the market."

This title may seem a bit shocking, but people dare to say this: "Lu Chen used "Cohabitation Beyond Time and Space" to grab the box office champion of that schedule in front of several powerful directors. Now, Lu Chen leads the entire August again. ..."

"He seems to let us see the hope of Huaguo movies."

"Western films are developing rapidly, even surpassing our Huaguo's stalls. I still hope that there will be more outstanding directors in China..."

Allies!
This is also a signal.

The top is going to praise Lu Chen.

Zeng Jia made a statistic and finally came to a conclusion, if nothing unexpected happened.

"Initial D" is likely to be this year's box office champion.

Lu Chen shook his head slightly.

Uncompromising about this result.

"Let the Bullets Fly" has not yet been released, and "Initial D" can have 8 million.

His is probably very strong.

Besides.

Zeng Jia also roughly calculated the revenue that "Initial D" could bring to the company.

In a simple calculation, they can get close to 3 million in net income.

Of course, this is certainly not the final income.

The movie is hot.

Its online streaming channels and even game adaptations can be exchanged for money.

However, these require dedicated corporate departments to operate.

However, think of the size of your own company.

This can only be sold to other companies.

There are many companies I want.

Among them is Bright Media.

To this!

Lu Chen didn't hesitate and sold them directly.

Bright Media is also welcome.

Take it all.

They have a dedicated operation department, as long as they make money, they will not be afraid of trouble.

The price given is also suitable.

Maybe they still have to rely on Lu Chen to make money in the future, so they still maintain a close relationship with Jiaxing Media during this period.

He also took the initiative to help Jiaxing Media to set up a film department and a TV drama department.

The screening ends,

Then it's time to share the cake.

There are many terms and conditions related to movies, so in the next period of time.

Both companies are busy reckoning.

There are also specialized lawyers present for various tax and various clauses.

In the previous life, it was because of tax issues.

Lost several stars.

Of course Lu Chen would not make such a mistake.

Not only did he not commit any crime, but he also strictly demanded Tang Lei and Liu Shishi.

Even the artists of Jiaxing Media.

Lu Chen ignored these.

Basically, it is certain that this movie can earn nearly 3 million for Jiaxing Media.

It is enough for Zeng Jia and Zhao Mao to worry about the specific figures.

"Let's watch a movie."

Some young couples who had nothing to do went to a movie theater and bought two movie tickets for "Inception".

A little date wave.

It's quite exciting to dress up in disguise.

The light in the theater was pitch black, and no one knew that Wang, a new director in the film industry, and a female star were sitting with them.

Even though Lu Chen had seen this movie in his previous life, he still couldn't help watching it again.
Every time I watch this movie, I seem to have a different understanding,
Cobb was woken up by the waves on the beach, and the guard who caught Cobb said to an old man: "He has lost his mind, but he still wants to see you."

So Cobb was brought by the guards to a vicissitudes old man, and the old man looked at the spinning top in front of him and said: "I know what it is. I saw it on a man a long time ago. We met in a dream."

After finishing these words, Cobb raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of spirits, and stopped eating.

What is Inception: In the movie, Cobb and his team are "Inception".

Pirates here can be understood as stealing.

They let the target person enter the dream state under the stimulation of drugs, and they themselves will enter the dream state with the target person. In the dream, they will achieve their previously preset purpose: to steal some important information and secrets in the target person's mind, This is Inception.

Although some do not understand,
But the audience bought it, which can be seen from the exclamation and admiration one after another at the scene.

It was ten o'clock when the movie ended.

leave the cinema,
The young couple held hands and walked on the neon-flashing commercial street.

Liu Shishi suddenly said: "Why don't we go have a midnight snack."

"it's OK?"

Lu Chen was a little worried, now they are not when they just debuted.

Even in disguise.

The possibility of being recognized is definitely more than 80%.

However, seeing Liu Shishi's eager expression.

Lu Chen still nodded.

"Go, where are you going?" Lu Chen pointed to a roadside stall not far away.

Liu Shishi did not refuse either.

After being with Lu Chen, she has already descended from a fairy.

Used to eat at this place often.

He wants to eat it now, mainly because he remembered the time when they were at the roadside stall.

Since she signed Tangren.

Basically, I have never been to a roadside stall.

Seeing that Lu Chen agreed, Liu Shishi hurried over, "Boss, get us two bowls of wontons, and two bunches of big kidneys."

"okay."

The boss readily agreed.

Liu Shishi had already arranged the chairs, and Lu Chen looked at his wife's reaction.

Can't help but fail.

Although they are stars, they are infinitely beautiful.

But still lost a lot of things.

At least you must not eat at this kind of roadside stall casually, it will easily cause traffic jams.

After the two sat down, both Lu Chen and Liu Shishi took off their masks.

It's nearly eleven o'clock,

Even if you recognize it, the impact should not be too big, and the light at night is relatively dim.

It shouldn't be recognized anytime soon.

"You two can eat." Well, the boss who brought the wontons didn't recognize him.

I don't know if it's because the wontons are steaming, but Liu Shishi's face has a different kind of softness.

For a moment, Lu Chen couldn't help but lost his mind.

After eating the wontons, Liu Shishi rubbed his chubby stomach: "You don't stop me from ordering..."

"What are you afraid of? I don't despise you."

Lu Chen blurted out directly, but she regretted it the moment he finished speaking.

Liu Shishi's big eyes stared at him brightly.

It is clear.

His answer was too perfunctory.

"I am serious!"

Lu Chen suddenly became very serious and said: "After I got out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, I decided to support you for the rest of my life."

"Count you through."

Liu Shishi's face showed a touch of sweetness, but his mouth was still unreasonable.

"My mother asked us to take some time to go back."

"Listen to you." Lu Chen didn't care.

During the Spring Festival, Liu Shishi brought him home.

It is clear.

The two elders are very satisfied with Lu Chen, the son-in-law.

Satisfied Liu Shishi was jealous.

"My mother almost forgot about my daughter."

"how come?"

"Why not?" Liu Shi gave him a blank look: "Tell me carefully, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into my parents?"

heard.

Lu Chen almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

The mother-in-law favors the son-in-law, and the daughter is jealous.

How to solve it?
……

Noon the next day.

Zeng Jia called Lu Chen, and she told Lu Chen.

The income from the film has already entered the company's account.

Coupled with the success of the TV series "White Night Chase".

The company's income after tax is close to more than 4 million.

This is a big leap.

As a result, Jiaxing Media has officially become a medium-sized entertainment company in the industry.

It is no longer the small workshop it was before.

The company's market value is close to 40 billion.

It's almost time to catch up with the peak of the previous Sejiaxing Media.

And now.

This is far from the peak of Jiaxing Media.

The future pinnacle of Jiaxing Media.

No one can predict it, including Lu Chen himself.

but.

Even if it is impossible to predict.

But become the top entertainment company in the industry in the future.

Should be no problem.

Guangxian Media is also very straightforward,

He didn't take advantage of Lu Chen because he was disrupting the market balance.

As an experienced filmmaker,
Lu Chen also knows that the distribution of cakes at the box office can easily lead to conflicts.

Stop talking about him.

Master Xing had a long conflict with Hua Yi when it was allotted at the box office.

Although the status of their directors is very high,
But for the capital of these entertainment circles, that's all.

Also because of this.

Lu Chen chose to develop slowly.

If you really want to tear it up, they will definitely not be able to deal with these big guys.

All kinds of temporary changes.

Take advantage of loopholes.

This situation is not unique in the entertainment industry.

The examples are too numerous to enumerate.

Especially in the case of Jiaxing Media's fledgling.

Handling them is a breeze.

of course.

Lu Chen is definitely not that easy to deal with, but he is tearing up with these people.

Too much trouble.

Fortunately, the above is very face-saving.

Made an assist.

This has allowed these capitals to converge a lot.

Guangxian Media didn't make any mistakes in this regard.

"There's also the matter of TV shows."

Zeng Jia reminded: "Zhou Miao has been idle for more than a month, and it's time to move."

Lu Chen has no objection to this.

The script promised to Zhou Miao should also be accelerated.

This drama is also of great significance to Jiaxing Media.

They may really go abroad because of this drama.

"The script will be for you next week."

"okay."

Zeng Jia is full of energy now, and the market value of Jiaxing Media is 40 billion.

She still retains 40% of the shares.

The net worth is rounded to close to 20 billion.

She didn't even dare to think about it before.

As Lu Chen became more and more successful, Zhou Miao was able to stand alone.

This market value will continue to increase.

The size of the company is getting bigger and bigger.

The titular boss of her company will also rise with the tide.

The mood is naturally wonderful.

……

A week later.

Lu Chen handed in the script on time.

After sending it as a fan file to Zeng Jia.

Then he got up with nothing to do.

Since Lu Chen promised his daughter-in-law to act in this play with her.

That must be putting aside his next drama first.

Just be an actor with peace of mind.

After the shooting is over, I will think about other things.

Some idle Lu Chen also reappeared in the company.

He looked at some unfamiliar faces around him.

It is clear.

The company has grown bigger and stronger.

The number of employees is much higher than before.

"Have you shown the script to Bright Media?"

"You Who Came From The Star" wants to counterattack the Korean wave.

It must rely on the power of Guangxian Media, and Jiaxing Media's current situation is definitely impossible.

"not yet…"

Zeng Jia said, "I'm going to take a look first."

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "Don't read it, I won't change what you say is bad, and don't even think about changing it with Guangxian Media. The script and the hero and heroine are all determined by us, and the rest is for them..."

The status has been raised.

Of course, the attitude of cooperation must also be improved.

They are looking for bright media.

But it's not that going straight to Guangliang Media can help them.

Zeng Jia:"……"

Although Lu Chen is the hands-off shopkeeper, he is still very tough in this regard.

However, Lu Chen does have the qualifications to be tough.

Especially in TV circles!
It can be said that he is the one and only master.

This is also a place where Bright Media is quite depressed.

It's hard to find a partner like Lu Chen, although they can find a new director to cooperate with.

But the benefits are definitely not guaranteed.

So, not to mention Guangxian Media, it's the same with other companies.

Facing Jiaxing Media's proposal.

They were not as strong as expected.

Lu Chen was so tough, Zeng Jia naturally had nothing to say.

Lu Chen continued: "Try to choose actors according to the character settings written in the script, and don't be too far behind."

Zeng Jia nodded, and then asked Lu Chen, "Are you really determined to play the leading role?"

Lu Chen nodded.

Since Lu Chen chose to play the male lead, then the female lead must be Liu Shishi.

Hey, Zeng Jia was a little disappointed for a moment.

She has fooled her artist several times.

did not expect.

This time it was still not her turn.

Seeing Zeng Jia's expression, Lu Chen could roughly understand what she was thinking.

So he said: "You can call out Yang Mi's year-end schedule, I will make a movie, and the heroine will give it to her."

It should be given too.

"Right, there's one more thing."

Zeng Jia cheered up instantly: "What's the matter?"

"Get a special effects company!"

"Special effects company?"

"Yes." Lu Chen said: "My next movie will have higher and higher requirements for special effects. It is not cost-effective to go outside to do it, so it is better to just buy one. Anyway, we are not short of money now."

"Your next movie?" Zeng Jia's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Use great effects.

Then explain.

The investment will be large.

A large investment means a higher box office.

The logic seems a bit wrong, but it's on Lu Chen's body.

Nothing seems wrong.

"Not just the lower part."

Lu Chen said with a smile: "My future movies will involve more and more special effects. Now I plan ahead and slowly gain some experience. It will be easier to use it later. My future movie special effects It may be as high as hundreds of millions, and it is not worthwhile to give it to others.”

"Hundreds of millions!"

Zeng Jia was shocked!
Lu Chen really wasn't joking this time, the drag racing series and the monster series movies.

The requirements for special effects are too high.

"Fine……"

Although it was unbelievable, Zeng Jia did not object.

Lu Chen is right, they are really not short of money now.

"White Night" and "Initial D" earned nearly 4 million.

Plus the 6 million from "Cohabitation in Time and Space" last time.

It's not a problem to spend a few hundred million to buy a special effects company.

"By the way, try to sell the big family. If it's not possible, you can buy shares." Lu Chen reminded.

Next, he will enter the rapid development mode.

Especially after he watched "Inception".

He couldn't wait to go to Hollywood.

Just like he wants to counterattack the Hallyu now.

He also wants to fight back against Hollywood.

therefore,

He didn't have much time to develop a special effects company,

Directly choose one step in place.

If you can't buy it, then buy a share.

Seeing Lu Chen's serious expression, Zeng Jia nodded again.

Lu Chen is serious.

Zeng Jia understood now.

The purpose of coming to the company this time has been achieved.

Just when Zeng Jia was about to leave his office, Lu Chen suddenly said, "Our place seems to be a bit small."

"It's a little small."

Zeng Jia said: "Recently, the company's manpower has increased rapidly, especially after the TV drama department, film department and distribution department were established one after another. The desks of several departments are quite crowded. I am considering whether to rent the surrounding places as well. .”

"Should I change the place?"

Lu Chen said suddenly.

Before there was no money, there was no way, but now I have money.

Lu Chen also swelled.

"I remember that there are a few buildings over there that will be built soon? Or let's just sell one..."

"you……"

Zeng Jia almost choked on her own saliva and said, "Do you think we can afford it?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "If you don't have any money, just go to the bank."

If you don't owe money to the bank, you are ashamed to say that you are rich.

They really don't owe the bank money,

Instead, the bank owes them.

Take Jiaxing Media's current situation.

A loan of more than 20 billion yuan.

Some banks rush to bring them.

Or if they are willing to give up the shares of Jiaxing Media.

There are also a lot of capital willing to buy shares at a high price.

unfortunately,

Lu Chen didn't have this idea, and neither did Zeng Jia at this stage.

get out now
It's too bad.

Hearing Lu Chen's words.

Zeng Jia suddenly felt terrified.

This is too generous.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Just kidding, let's rent this area first..."

building thing.

Thinking about it for a few years.

Ok,
In the end, Lu Chen still felt that his steps were a bit too big, and it was easy to scratch his head.

but,

The building must be bought.

After Lu Chen left, Zeng Jia started working.

Choose a special effects company that meets Lu Chen's requirements.

There are quite a lot of special effects companies in China.

However, Lu Chen's requirements are relatively high.

Therefore, you can only choose targets from mid-to-high-end special effects companies.

However, the special effects companies that can achieve the upper-middle level will basically not make a move.

The special effects companies that are ready to make a move and those that are unable to do so are basically low-to-medium.

Therefore, after searching for a few days, I did not find a suitable target.

Seeing this result,
Zeng Jia dialed Lu Chen directly.

"In this case."

Lu Chen said: "Go and talk to Light and Shadow Magic to see if they are willing to accept our investment..."

"Light and shadow effects."

"Correct."

In the past two years, not only Jiaxing Media has grown, but also light and shadow special effects.

All of Lu Chen's works since his debut have been post-produced in this company.

Even after cooperating with Bright Media.

Lu Chen still chose to finish the light and shadow special effects in the later stage.

the reason,

It's just easier to use.

With more cooperation, they could easily understand what Lu Chen meant.

ps: The monster movie will start in the next part. The heroine is Miss Mi. If you want to watch it, please recommend it.
