This entertainment industry is a bit strange

Chapter 87

Returning to Mingzhu City, Yang Rui was still escorted by bodyguards after getting off the plane.

It's just that this time it's no longer for self-entertainment. From boarding to getting off the plane and leaving the airport, fans have gathered around asking for autographs and group photos.

And outside the airport, there were dozens of entertainment journalists waiting there.

If it weren't for the bodyguard's strong escort, he probably wouldn't be able to get into the car smoothly.

Looking at those Yu Ji outside the car window who were unwilling to chase wildly, Yang Rui felt inexplicably emotional.

He knew that he was finally popular.

A debut movie that has gained both fame and fortune has already caused a sensation in the entire Chinese film circle. As a screenwriter and director, he is now a popular fried chicken in the circle!

But compared to those vain reputations, what excites him more is the real benefits.

When the "Stone" project was established, Ding Lan gave him a guaranteed film salary of 200 million yuan, including screenwriting fees and director fees, and 3 points of box office share.

It's not a pure box office share, but a 3% share from the producers.

But even so, based on the current box office, his income has exceeded 1000 million!

The feeling of getting rich overnight made Yang Rui feel like a dream.

In the previous life, I worked hard on the earth for more than ten years, and I couldn't even get a house worth 100 million yuan.

After one year of rebirth, you can easily get 1000 million yuan, gain both fame and fortune...

so comfy.

The movie was a big hit, so the company would not be stingy when it came to selling, and directly booked the banquet hall of the Canopy by Hilton Hotel as the venue for the celebration banquet.

As usual, Yang Rui was dragged to do the styling first, just when Ding Lan, who was full of spring, was also taking care of his hair.

Seeing Yang Rui appearing, Ding Lan, who was in a good mood, couldn't help joking: "Big director, how does it feel to be famous overnight?"

"Not bad." Yang Rui said with a smile: "I didn't even encounter any decent sniping, and it went smoothly unexpectedly."

Hearing this, Ding Lan's smile faded, "This Spring Festival is indeed going well, but don't think that this is the norm. This year, this kind of situation is rare, and there will be no next time."

"I know, next time I will probably have to compete head-to-head with those famous directors." Yang Rui laughed.

"It's more than that..." Ding Lan shook his head and said, "In addition to the competition in the theater, there are also open and secret fights outside the theater that will be much crueler than this time."

"Don't be fooled by this success. The reason why no one is holding back this time is that apart from Mr. Han's name and the company's public relations efforts, it also has something to do with "Daddy and Me"."

"what?"

Yang Rui was taken aback on the spot, this was the first time he had heard of this.

"Do you know whose book this movie is based on?"

Yang Rui nodded, "I know, Wang Shuo."

The relationship between Xu Jinglei and that Master Shuo has many tricks...

"Then do you know who the lead actor in that film is?"

"I know, Ye Da..." Before the name was called out, he braked subconsciously, "Ye? It can't be that Ye?"

Ding Lan chuckled, "What do you think?"

"hiss--"

Yang Rui gasped, sweating on his forehead.

Only then did he realize what kind of terrifying existence the runner-up he was stepping on was!
"It means they are not serious, otherwise I would really dare not fight for this championship." Ding Lan said with a wry smile: "But it is also because they are not serious that other film studios dare not surpass them and become the first bird."

"If it wasn't for this, do you think those sailors could stop like this? That's why I said, this year's smooth sailing is rare!"

"Now that Xu Jinglei and Jiang Wen have already shown their love, if you have the opportunity, you should also help to repay them. If you sell well, you can make some friends, and you will benefit a lot in the future."

Yang Rui wiped his forehead and nodded repeatedly.

I said it earlier, I almost missed a big deal!

In addition to being afraid, I also secretly rejoiced in my choice.

It's cool to start your own business as a BOSS, but... do you really have enough start-up funds and contacts?
Do you really have enough ability and energy to deal with these shitty things?

Hiding behind the big boss to create and make money, and then go home and do something you love when you are free. Isn't this kind of life good?

"Okay, don't think about it for now." Ding Lan patted his shoulder and said: "Clean up quickly, don't be late."

"In addition, tonight there will be several weight guests present, remember to say hello."

"Who is there?"

"You'll know then."

At 06:30 in the evening, the main creative team assembled.

At seven o'clock, amidst the yelling of the hostess, Yang Rui led Huang Bo and others into the banquet hall.

The waves of applause rushed to his face, and the eager "Director Yang" made him seem to be walking on clouds.

The master of ceremonies who was in charge of hosting even took the opportunity of shaking hands to secretly wink at him like silk.

It's a pity that it looks so ordinary, Yang Rui didn't even bother to take a second look, he kind of missed that big white fish.

After the female master of ceremonies talked a lot, the dinner finally entered the theme, and several waiters came up pushing a dining car covered with Hongjuan.

Hongjuan opened it, revealing a large piece of ice that was freezing cold.

Inside the ice cube is a string of golden numbers, one, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, million, ten million, billion...

A beautiful waitress handed over a golden hammer and handed it to Yang Rui.

I have seen countless ice-cutting ceremonies in the entertainment news. At that time, Yang Rui never dreamed that he would have the glorious moment of lifting the hammer!

Looking at the envious and eager eyes of the audience, and the dog heads pointed at him by those Yuji hands... a sense of pride arises spontaneously from the heart.

A man should be like this!
However, just as he was about to drop the hammer, his eyes suddenly swept across a middle-aged man with a slightly sullen face and sharp eyes.

His appearance has nothing to do with being handsome, but he just sits there in a calm manner, with an aura that is not angry and pretentious...

In an instant, Yang Rui changed his decision.

"Wait a minute." He put down the hammer and said, "There are still few people."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, what do you mean?
"If Master Han didn't name the producer back then, it is estimated that the movie would still be difficult to produce."

"In addition, as a new director's first filming, Mr. Zhao Honglei gave me precious guidance throughout the whole process."

"Xiaopo's "Stone" can achieve today's results, both of them are indispensable, so how can there be two less in this ice-cutting ceremony?"

The audience froze for two seconds, and all showed playful smiles.

This kid will come to trouble, on the road!

Ding Lan on the side also showed a gratified smile.

Pretty sensible!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yang Rui stepped off the stage to help Zhao Honglei, who was full of refusals, and brought him to the stage.

Then he came to the middle-aged man again. This time, before he could speak, the middle-aged man stood up with a smile, "Okay, you've put it all here, and I'll join in the fun and chisel with a hammer."

Hearing this, Yang Rui quietly let out a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that this Master Han would not show his face, and that would be embarrassing.

Re-entering the stage, Yang Rui and Master Han held the hammer on the left and right, and the other main creators also tried their best to reach out and get together.

"...Three, two, one...Congratulations to "Crazy Stone" for winning a box office of one billion, and I wish you continued efforts to create greater glories..."

Snapped!
Amidst the master of ceremonies shouting, the golden hammer came crashing down, chiseling up a piece of ice.

Click click.

Numerous cameras simultaneously recorded the scene of this moment.

Many years later, when the people of China Entertainment who were dominated by "Big Devil Yang" looked back at this photo, they gave it the same name with one voice.

"Starting Nightmare".
