Chapter 287 285. Poor Yao dramas also need to invest, making money is not shabby!
The first snow in [-] did not last long, and now there is no snow on the road.

It was still very warm under the bright sun after ten o'clock. Chen Li'an sat in the yard basking in the sun, and waited until a black Mercedes appeared at the door before getting up and going out.

Before Chen Li'an got to the car, the driver got out of the car and opened the door. He looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Mr. Chen, I'm the new driver. My name is Li Juan."

The new driver was a capable-looking woman, about thirty years old, who looked like a practicing family.

Chen Li'an asked curiously: "Have you practiced? Which Kung Fu school did you learn?"

"I haven't practiced kung fu, I have been a few years, and I just got out of the army." Li Juan replied immediately.

Chen Li'an glanced at her unexpectedly and nodded, "Didn't you be assigned a job after being discharged from the army? Why are you still working as a driver?"

"Allocated, but not much money." Li Juan explained.

Chen Li'an nodded, let Li Juan get into the car and waited for Li Juan to close the door and sit up, before he said: "Next time, you don't need to get out of the car and open the door for me."

Li Juan glanced through the rearview mirror and replied, "Okay."

After speaking, the car fell into silence. After a while, Chen Li'an came to the company. Zhang Guoli, who had been waiting at the company for a long time, saw Chen Li'an coming in, and immediately stood up to greet him and said, "Mr. Chen, long time no see."

Chen Li'an looked at him calmly, nodded and said, "Let's go to the office and talk."

Zhang Guoli immediately agreed and said yes, and did not respond to Chen Li'an's indifferent attitude, at least on the surface.

After arriving at the office, Zhang Guoli looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Mr. Chen, Kangxi has already sold the first and second rounds. The first broadcast will be on Beijing Satellite TV, and it will start broadcasting next month. When do you think our next drama will start?"

After Chen Li'an looked through Kangxi's data, he found that the broadcasting rights for the first round and the second round were sold for a total of more than 1000 to [-] million.

The profit of the TV series is indeed much stronger than that of the movie. Chen Li'an watched it for a few times before Zhang Guoli said: "Don't worry about the second one. We'll see the ratings after the first round is aired."

"What's more, there may be problems with the shooting now." Chen Li'an looked at Zhang Guoli and smiled and said, "What if you run out of money for half of the shooting this time, what do you think should I do?"

Knowing that Chen Li'an was pointing at him, Zhang Guoli quickly put on a smile and said, "Mr. Chen, last time we were inexperienced and inappropriate! That's why we made this problem. I promise there will be no problem this time."

Zhang Guoli now has a lot of money in his hands, but the contract he signed with Chen Meiren was for three films, and the copyright was not in his own hands, so he didn't think he could do it alone.

Chen Li'an smiled, knocked on the table and said, "Have you finished the script for the second part?"

"It's done!" Zhang Guoli immediately took out the script from his bag and handed it to Chen Li'an, saying, "This is the second script. Teacher Chen will help you read it."

Chen Li'an took the script and put it on the table and said: "I will read it when I have time, how much do you plan to invest in the second part?"

"700."

Chen Li'an nodded, the money was not much, he thought for a while and said: "Okay, I understand, but I need to think about this matter for a few days."

Zhang Guoli looked at Chen Li'an and tentatively said: "Mr. Chen, I want to participate in the investment this time, so that it can also reduce the company's financial pressure."

Relieve my financial stress?Who do you look down on!

"The company is not short of money, but if you want to invest, it's not impossible. The company will consider it and tell you if you have a plan." Chen Li'an glanced at the time and said to Zhang Guoli: "I have something to do later, so I'll be there today Here it is."

Zhang Guoli's expression froze, and he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll go back and wait for the news."

After Zhang Guoli left, Li Dabai came to the office and looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "Mr. Chen, what are you going to do with this matter?"

"Don't worry, wait for him to come again." Chen Li'an sat up and looked at Li Dabai and said: "We must let him know his position, don't think that if you become popular in two TV series, you can turn around and put investors under you .”

Li Dabai nodded, and then said: "Then will the company still invest in TV dramas this year?"

"Let Meiren Chen come back in the next year and let her decide." Chen Li'an asked Liu Tao, "How about the new assistant?"

Li Dabai said with a smile: "Very good, I'm a quick learner, and I can start working in two days."

Liu Tao and Chen Li'an are still quite optimistic. Judging from her later development, she is much better than Li Dabai.

But now Li Dabai is not what it used to be. He has grown up very fast. Li Dabai followed Chen Li'an to so many places for more than a year. He has experienced both big and small things. He is no longer comparable to his peers. up.

Li Dabai's path is really very different from her previous life. She probably won't have the chance to be a star in this life, and she probably won't be happy even if she is asked to act in a movie now.

Chen Li'an didn't make any suggestions for Li Dabai's future, everything was up to her, she could do whatever she wanted, and we were not short of money.

At this time, Chen Meiren, who was at home, was chatting with Qiongyao in Wanwan on the phone. Qiongyao in [-] wanted to make two dramas. One was to ask Chen Meiren to introduce young actors, and the other was to ask Chen Meiren Not interested in cooperating.

Chen Meiren, who was still in her confinement period, had long been bored with idleness, and she immediately agreed to Poor Yao's idea of ​​cooperation.

But this time the cooperation is not between Chen Meiren as an actor and Qiongyao. Qiongyao now thinks that Chen Meiren is old, but she just knows that Chen Meiren is now relying on Chen Li'an, and she is investing in film and television in the Mainland, so she just wants to cooperate.

Poor Yao chatted with Chen Meiren for a long time, and finally decided to let her daughter-in-law come over to discuss cooperation with Chen Meiren face to face.

After Chen Meiren hung up the phone, she looked at Zhengxiang's son who was sleeping, kissed his little cheek and said, "Son, mom is going to earn money for you to marry a wife."

But working with Qiongyao, Chen Meiren was a little worried that Chen Li'an would disagree. Every time she talked with Chen Lian about Qiongyao's drama, she was disgusted.

Chen Meiren sighed helplessly. It's normal for artists to look down on Poor Yao dramas, but you still have to make money if you want to make money.

When Chen Li'an came back at night, Chen Meiren told him about it.

Chen Li'an thought for a while and said, "No problem, doing business is doing business, and I'm not a person who doesn't know what to do."

"Really?" Chen Meiren looked at Chen Li'an happily and asked, "Then how about I push Yuanyuan over?"

"She can't." Chen Li'an said without thinking: "Qianyao won't use such a pure rookie, let Jiang Qingqing and Chen Zihan try."

Chen Meiren was immediately unhappy, looked at Chen Li'an and said, "I know how to take care of your little lover!"

"Okay, I won't say anything, then you can think about it yourself." Chen Li'an didn't want to quarrel with Chen Meiren because of this kind of thing.

Chen Meiren snorted, thought for a while and said: "Forget it, they are the only ones, but I have to go and see if there are other more suitable ones. There are several good ones among the freshmen of Nortel and Chinese opera. Seedling?"

Chen Li'an said indifferently: "There are a few, you can go back and have a look, but there is no need for Chinese dramas, and you can't come out to film."

"I know, but I'll still go and have a look, dig a few good seedlings in advance, and invest in them later to promote my own people."

Chen Li'an suddenly remembered something, looked at Chen Meiren and said, "Is there a show called Huanzhugege in these two dramas of Qiongyao?"

"Yes, she came to me because she wanted me to invest in this drama. She didn't communicate well with Mango Channel." Chen Meiren explained.

"Then vote more, I think this drama will be popular."

Huanzhu, it's really a phenomenal TV series, don't watch it being complained about so much later, but it's really popular these days.

Since it is a business, then do it well and make more money.

Chen Li'an has no strict requirements on what the company invests in. He has to invest in the books he likes to make money or not, and he has to invest in the books he doesn't like to make money.

The main principle is flexibility.

However, if Chen Li'an is acting by himself, he will definitely choose carefully. He will not embarrass a character he strictly dislikes for money.

Chen Li'an's tentative plan for next year is only one singer, and currently he has no other movies to come to him, so he is quite free.

The days before the year were all leisurely, and Chen Li'an enjoyed a rare vacation.

But how to celebrate the New Year this year is very annoying.

Chinese people pay attention to family reunion during Chinese New Year, but Chen Li'an has a lot of homes now, and he can't take care of one family. He simply stays at Gong Lina in the morning, stays with Chen Meiren at noon, and returns to the courtyard at night.

People's Chinese New Year is a holiday, and Chen Li'an's New Year's Eve is to go to the market. Whether it's happy or busy, Chen Li'an doesn't want to say anything about the things inside.

What's so strange about Chinese New Year?

It's just that after the holidays after the year are over, life gets busy.

Chen Li'an was busy in the studio working on the works for the Venice Art Exhibition in August. Liu Tao, who was already an assistant, poked his head out and stood at the door and whispered, "Mr. Chen, someone named Fan Bingbing is looking for you."

Chen Li'an froze for a moment, turned to look at her and said, "Did you hang up the phone?"

"It's already hung up, and I said I'll call you later." Liu Tao walked in and looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "Then I left the phone here for you."

"Okay, you go out." Chen Li'an said without raising his head.

Liu Tao yelled and went out, feeling that Chen Li'an didn't like him very much, this assistant was not as good as he thought, and there was nothing good about seeing handsome guys every day except for the high salary.

Liu Tao is extremely busy every day. He can help Chen Lian answer dozens of work calls a day. He is either approached for interviews or investment, and occasionally he is approached for filming.

In addition, when Chen Li'an was creating with peace of mind, she had to help with Chen Li'an's "girlfriends". Only then did Liu Tao understand why Li Dabai trained him for so long and signed a non-disclosure agreement.

Liu Tao really didn't expect Chen Li'an to be such a big scumbag, and his affection for him has dropped a lot in his heart.

Chen Li'an in the room didn't have time to care about an assistant's thoughts, even if she was Teacher Bai in everyone's mind.

Chen Li'an looked at the painting in front of him and was thinking about what Fan Xiaopang was doing on the phone. He just saw it a few times in Shanghai last year.

Soon Fan Xiaopang called. Chen Li'an answered the phone and gave a hello before hearing Fan Bingbing whispered on the opposite side: "Are you Chen Li'an? I'm Fan Bingbing. We met in Shanghai before." Yes, you were still."

"Needless to say so much, I remember you." Chen Li'an interrupted Fan Bingbing, feeling that the little girl was still too young and very nervous.

After hearing Chen Li'an's words, Fan Bingbing breathed a sigh of relief. She mustered up the courage to make this call.

Chen Li'an held his mobile phone and asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Well, there are two things I want to ask you for help." Fan Bingbing said nervously.

Chen Li'an couldn't help frowning, but he still asked patiently: "Tell me what's going on first, I may not be able to help."

There seemed to be a trace of impatience in Chen Li'an's calm voice, Fan Bingbing immediately said nervously: "It's a small matter, I just have a character who is hesitant, and I don't know who to consult, so I thought of you."

"Have you received the film?" Chen Li'an asked curiously. In his memory, Fan Bingbing seemed to have filmed a TV series before returning the pearl, and the filming had already been completed by this time.

"Yes, it's a movie, but there are some large-scale scenes in it." Fan Bingbing said with some hesitation: "I'm worried that it will be bad after acting, but the director really wants me to act."

Chen Li'an wondered if Fan Bingbing had been cheated. Who would find a minor to film a large-scale scene? Isn't this a joke!
"What play? Who is the director? Have you been deceived?"

Fan Bingbing immediately said: "No, no, it's not a liar, it's Chen Chong, the movie is called Tianyu."

Hearing Chen Chong and Tianyu, Chen Li'an immediately remembered, but he was very curious, wasn't Li Xiaolu acting in this movie? The 17-year-old actress was blown out her whole life until she got her hair done.
Leaning on the chair, Chen Li'an recalled the movie Tianyu, which indeed had a lot of large-scale scenes, and it was a banned movie in China. Chen Chong didn't get a filming certificate, and was banned for several years and was not allowed to shoot. .

This movie has indeed won many awards, but it may not be the best choice for Fan Bingbing, at least not the best choice for Fan Bingbing in his teens.

Now she only thinks about making a few more movies to be popular, but she doesn't have the awareness of winning awards and being a talent.

Fan Bingbing asked nervously: "Among the people I know, you are the most powerful. When you asked me whether I should take this movie, the teacher advised me not to take it."

"If you are only worried about choosing a stand-in for large-scale scenes, you can discuss this with the director." Chen Li'an paused and said to Fan Bingbing: "If you just want to be popular, then I suggest not to accept it. faster."

But I don't have a TV show either.
Fan Bingbing sighed silently, thought of another matter, and said to Chen Li'an: "A sister I know recommended me to make a TV series about Poor Yao. I heard that you invested in it. If I can make a TV series, I won't accept it, do you think I'm suitable for a role in a TV series?"

Hearing Fan Bingbing's words, Chen Li'an realized that his feelings were waiting for him here. Fan Bingbing probably had already decided not to shoot Tianyu, so he just went around and changed the topic to returning the pearl.

But he was still too young, and the means and purpose were too obvious. Chen Li'an couldn't help but shook his head, and said to Fan Bingbing on the other end of the phone, "Are you in the capital now? Let's talk about it when you come to the company tomorrow."

"Okay!" Fan Bingbing immediately agreed and heaved a sigh of relief.

If Chen Li'an is willing to meet her, it means that there is a chance!And it's meeting at the company, so you don't have to worry about other things.
