Chapter 107 Box office of 4000 million yuan
"Daughter."

"Mom, is there anything else?" Li Xing, who was about to board the car and return to the city, looked at her mother.

"Have you finished recording "Avenue of Stars" that you hosted?"

"No, what's wrong?"

Li Xing explained with a smile: "Many staff members in the program team were frozen and returned to the capital or the south early to celebrate the New Year. The remaining episodes will continue to be recorded after the New Year."

"Then if you don't go to the capital to find Jiang Liu, why are you still staying in Taili?" Li Xin's mother hated that iron could not make steel.

"My unit is a TV station, and the station is not on holiday yet. Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong? This girl is still heartless."

Li Xing's mother gave her daughter a sharp look and said angrily: "When the children in the village came back from working outside, they all said that Jiang Liu made 4000 million yuan in one movie. Why don't you go and guard Jiang Liu now? Are you really not worried about Jiang Liu?" Money goes bad? Why are you so heartbroken!"

"Mom, don't listen to people's nonsense. Movies are so easy to make money, and rich people are making movies."

"The news report is also false? You are really careless. Once you return to Taiwan, you should seize the time to ask for leave and return to Jiangdu with Jiang Liu as soon as possible."

Li Xin nodded helplessly and got into the car.

"Mobile Phone" directed by Jiang Liu has exceeded the 40 million yuan mark at the box office in less than 4000 days since its release.

It became the well-deserved box office champion of domestic movies in 2001.

For a time, news related to "Mobile Phone", Jiang Liu, Ge You, Fan Binbin, etc. were reported by TV stations across the country.

Jiang Liu, who is only 22 years old, has attracted a lot of attention in a short period of time.

He is young, wealthy and capable, and his fame is on par with that of Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Dapao and other well-known veteran directors in China.

Under this circumstance, people related to Jiang Liu would inevitably be affected by Jiang Liu's fame. Li Xing just didn't expect that even her parents would be affected.

Returning to the unit after a snowy and windy journey, Li Xin thought over and over again and decided not to disobey her mother and walked to the deputy station's office.

Knocking on the door and entering the deputy station's office, the head of the "Avenue of Stars" program group, Deputy Director Goetou, nodded gently.

On January [-]st, "Avenue of Stars" will be broadcast on Goose Head Star.

Adhering to the purpose of "people's stage" and aiming to create a zero-threshold and zero-distance "Avenue of Stars" once it was launched, the ratings immediately became popular.

As soon as the second episode aired, the ratings soared.

In just two episodes, "Avenue of Stars" has become the mainstay of Goose TV's ratings.

By the third episode of the program, "Avenue of Stars" had become the program with the highest ratings in the three northeastern provinces, catching the two nearby provincial stations off guard.

Even if the ratings are high, "Avenue of Stars" has an excellent reputation.

Letters and phone calls from people in the three provinces all praised "Avenue of Stars".

The program is close to the people, has good reputation among the audience, and the ratings are very high. It can also create more advertising revenue for the station. The sub-station is already looking forward to the praise from the top in the next year.

So when I met Li Xing, the host of "Avenue of Stars", he seemed particularly affable.

"Ask for leave? So many days?"

The deputy frowned slightly, then relaxed as if remembering something, and asked with a smile: "Are you ready to enter the palace hand in hand with Jiang Liu? Remember to inform me when the date is set!"

Li Xi said shyly: "Thank you Chen Tai, but we have no plans to get married yet. We just agreed to go to Jiangdu to celebrate the New Year this year."

"It's good to go to Jiangdu to celebrate the Spring Festival. Jiangdu is much warmer than here."

After Chen Taixiao finished speaking, he sighed unconsciously. Under Li Xin's confused eyes, he kept it secret and said: "Originally, the station was planning to let you replace Huang Meiyue as the host of "Morning News" during the Spring Festival, but you have a life-long event. To solve it, we can only wait a little longer.”

Li Xun was a little stunned and suppressed the urge to ask for the reason. "She is obviously not suitable to host "Morning News". Some people really play the piano randomly." Chen Tai said cryptically.

Li Xing left the deputy station's office thoughtfully.

Passing by the Information Department, she glanced in and didn't see the high-spirited Huang Meiyue in the past. Instead, she attracted enthusiastic greetings from many colleagues.

Li Xin chatted with everyone and walked out of Etai.

Capital, East Chang'an Street, Grand Hyatt Hotel.

Seeing Jiang Liu in the hotel parking lot, Han Sanping pointed and laughed and cursed: "When you succeed, you will be arrogant. You must choose such a good place to have a celebration banquet. Yu Dong must be very distressed."

"It's not that luxurious. The hotel that has been open for three months looks relatively new." Jiang Liu said happily.

"Forget it, Yu Dong deserves it. Who asked him to bet that if the box office exceeds 4000 million, he will be treated to a second celebration banquet privately. Is everyone here?"

"It's almost there. The Yu Chu I invited hasn't arrived yet."

"Are you sure you're coming? Then I'll wait with you." The two returned to the hotel lobby and sat down. Boss Han said, "It's been a month since you came back from promotions. Do you have any plans for a new script?"

"I have some clues. Let's make a comedy. I'm really not sure about anything else." Jiang Liu said ambiguously.

"Small-budget comedies are good. If Yixin is short of funds for a TV series project, you can also contact China Films."

"what?"

"Don't make a fuss. I'm like the parent of a big family now. There are too many mouths to eat at home. As a parent, I have to learn to attack everywhere. The little money I make from "Mobile Phone" is not enough to watch."

Jiang Liu nodded in agreement.

The little money "Mobile" made was really not enough to watch.

The media has hyped "Cell Phone" to no end. The movie's box office has exceeded 4000 million, and it is still chasing 5000 million.

But even if the box office is settled at 5000 million, the three investors will only make a few million after deducting production costs and publicity expenses.

This little money is not as much as the several TV series produced by Yixin this year.

But the movie must continue to be made. On the one hand, mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are, so they can make some money.

On the other hand, making movies can cultivate a market and build a reputation.

Jiang Liu has filmed two popular dramas in a row and still remains unknown. After directing "Cell Phone", the director's reputation immediately increased.

This is the difference between TV series and movies.

"Mobile Phone suffers from too little advertising sponsorship money." Boss Han said with regret.

"Indeed." Jiang Liu nodded in agreement. "Mobile"'s largest advertising sponsorship of 30 yuan came from "Gong Tian Gong".

Jiang Liu didn't talk much about sponsorship, but asked for advice: "Boss, I have a friend who wants to transfer some money to Hong Kong or the UK. What's the best way to do it?"

"Friend? You just said you wanted to transfer some money abroad. Let the bank handle such a small matter and you don't have to worry about it?"

"So simple?"

"Yixin's bank turnover this year is about 5000 to [-] million yuan. Which bank can't handle this small matter of transferring money abroad?"

Jiang Liu suddenly realized that he was the one in charge and always made things complicated.

The source of his money is clear and aboveboard. What's wrong with exchanging foreign currency and going abroad to enjoy it?
You need to be secretive when planning evil things and doing illegal things.
