1993 My China Entertainment Age

Dapeng Dong Chengpeng is an excellent commercial film director who knows how to utilize resources and marketing. He knows how to make a movie sellable.

When directing "The Pancake Man", Dong Chengpeng persuaded a bunch of "Young and Dangerous" actors including Ekin Cheng and Jordan Chan to make guest appearances in order to sell sentimentality.

This time, Dong Chengpeng invited his master Jiang Xiaofeng to make a guest appearance in "Sewing Machine Band". He also wanted to use his master Jiang Xiaofeng to sell sentimentality for the film.

Of course, Jiang Xiaofeng is not stupid. If the quality of the movie "Sewing Machine Band" is not up to standard, he will never agree to make a cameo appearance, even if this movie is produced by his own company.

The main reason why Jiang Xiaofeng agreed to perform in the play "Sewing Machine Band" was that the script was better than "The Pancake Man".

Compared to "The Pancake Man" three years ago, Dapeng is more confident this time. In the past three years, he has consulted many directors such as Tsui Hark and learned a lot.

Compared to the first film, "Sewing Machine Band" is more mature in production, technology and story content creation.

Strictly speaking, Dapeng, like his master Jiang Xiaofeng, is actually a multifaceted person - he is a music fan, a talk show host, a comedian, and a film director.

It is precisely because of the director's diverse sense of roles that "Sewing Machine Band" has become the best choice to follow "The Pancake Man" and tell the story of small people with big dreams.

This movie is not only a portrayal of his youth and a footnote to his life, but also represents the figures of millions of ordinary people who are still running on the road to their dreams.

Also because all aspects of the film have been improved accordingly, Dapeng has great confidence in the box office of "Sewing Machine Band", and it has even become very inflated.

Especially after the huge box office success of "The Pancake Man" two years ago, Dapeng started to become arrogant and kept thinking about leaving Century Entertainment Group and starting his own business.

After all, no one wants to be a wage earner all his life, and Dapeng is no exception. He also fantasizes that one day he can become a movie and TV tycoon like Jiang Xiaofeng.

However, because he still had two film contracts with Century Entertainment Group, no matter how much Dapeng wanted to leave, he had to be obedient and finish filming the remaining two films.

So, after "The Pancake Man", Dapeng has another new movie "Sewing Machine Band".

In order to show off in front of Jiang Xiaofeng, Dapeng brazenly assured Jiang Xiaofeng in Jiang Xiaofeng's office: "Master, my goal this time is to get 20 billion! I have confidence!"

Seeing Dapeng with a smug look on his face, Jiang Xiaofeng smiled, did not answer, but poured him a cup of tea.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaofeng didn't quite believe it, Dapeng was a little depressed. After drinking a sip of tea, he asked puzzledly: "Master, don't you believe that I can do it?"

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and asked, "Dapeng, let me ask you, if the full score is 100, how many points do you think "The Pancake Man" can get?"

Dapeng was a little confused and asked in confusion: "Master, we are talking about "Sewing Machine Band" now, why did you mention "Pancake Man"? "

Jiang Xiaofeng then asked: "Don't beat around the bush with me, just tell me how many points you can give me, be objective."

Dapeng thought for a moment and said, "65 points? I think as a commercial comedy, it should be acceptable."

"At least in terms of business and box office, we still have a firm grasp on it."

Without waiting for Jiang Xiaofeng to answer, Dapeng asked with interest: "Master, how many points do you think you can get?"

Jiang Xiaofeng did not answer Dapeng's question directly, but said bluntly: "Dapeng, let me tell you this,"

"A movie with only 60 points and a box office of over 10 billion will definitely be backfired,"

"So, judging from my experience, the box office of Sewing Machine Band will not only not exceed 20 billion, but may even be lower than that of Pancake Man."

Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng hitting him so hard and not trusting his ability, Dapeng said indignantly: "Impossible!"

"How is that possible! You yourself said that the script of Sewing Machine is better than Pancake Man, and we also invested more in the promotion this time, how could the box office be worse!"

"There is no reason, Master! Give me a reason. You firmly believe that Sewing Machine is not as good as Pancake Man. There must be a reason!" Jiang Xiaofeng did not hide anything and replied directly: "The reason is that the movie Pancake Man overdrew the reputation you accumulated from filming Diaosi Man."

Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng's unquestionable expression, Dapeng didn't believe it and immediately replied: "Master, how about we make a bet?"

Jiang Xiaofeng was not to be outdone, and asked with a smile: "Okay, what are you betting on?"

Dapeng thought for a moment and said, "Master, if the box office of "Sewing Machine Band" can exceed 10 billion, I will take 10% of the investment in the next movie."

"If the box office of Sewing Machine Band is less than 10 billion, I will sign you to act in another movie."

Facing the confident Dapeng, Jiang Xiaofeng felt that his request was not excessive, and replied with a smile: "Okay, you asked for it on your own initiative, don't cheat me when the time comes!"

Dapeng thought he had no chance of losing, and immediately replied: "Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back!"

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't feel any pressure about the bet with Dapeng. No matter who won or lost, it didn't make any difference to him. He just wanted to have fun.

Even if Century Entertainment Group has gone bankrupt, Jiang Xiaofeng's net worth is still nearly 100 billion.

Not to mention anything else, even if the billions of stocks he cashed out over the years were almost all invested in Tencent and Moutai stocks, he also made a lot of profit from it.

Therefore, when Jiang Xiaofeng invests in movies or TV series now, he mainly tries to make use of his memories from his previous life as much as possible to benefit the Century Entertainment Group.

Not long after Dapeng left the office, Jiang Xiaofeng received a call from Song Yun, informing Jiang Xiaofeng that she had just returned to Yanjing from her hometown in Sichuan Province.

Knowing that Jiang Xiaofeng was busy at work, Song Yun asked cautiously: "Are you free to see me in the evening?"

After not seeing each other for a while, Jiang Xiaofeng missed Song Yun a lot, so he smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Did you miss me?"

Song Yun said shyly: "Well, I missed you on the way back. I missed you so much."

Hearing Song Yun's words, Jiang Xiaofeng felt warm in his heart and replied with a smile: "Okay, wash yourself and wait for me tonight, and see how I deal with you!"

Song Yun said shyly and angrily: "Oh, you are so annoying, can you be serious? I am not talking about that kind of missing, I am talking about missing you..."

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and joked: "Is there any difference? Isn't it the same meaning?"

Song Yun explained: "Of course I didn't mean that, I just wanted to hug you..."

Jiang Xiaofeng was too lazy to argue with Song Yun about this topic, and replied with a smile: "I know, you don't need to explain."

Song Yun was obviously not satisfied with Jiang Xiaofeng's answer, and then asked: "Do you miss me?"

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and said, "When I go back at night, you will know whether I miss you or not!"

After hearing Jiang Xiaofeng's answer, Song Yun was also a little moved, and said timidly: "Oh... Then I will wait for you at home, come back early..."

Jiang Xiaofeng said readily: "Okay, I'll try my best!"

8 pm.

After finishing all the work and social engagements, Jiang Xiaofeng arrived at Song Yun's villa as scheduled.

Perhaps it was the so-called "a short separation makes the new marriage better". As soon as Song Yun saw Jiang Xiaofeng, she clung to Jiang Xiaofeng like a koala.

Jiang Xiaofeng also felt Song Yun's eagerness and anticipation, and he knew in his heart that there would be several fierce battles in the evening. (End of this chapter)
