China Entertainment: Sister, I don’t want to work hard anymore

Chapter 148 Commander Ma, here I come!
There is a saying that in this life, Chu Hui has never heard anyone praise Teacher Huang Lei's cooking skills in front of him.

In his previous life, Chu Hui had watched "Longing for Life" and knew that Mr. Huang Lei was in charge of the show.

As for the specifics of Teacher Huang Lei's cooking skills, Chu Hui actually didn't know.

In Chu Hui's opinion, Teacher Huang Lei's cooking skills were all performed by Teacher He Jiong.

As for Teacher Huang Lei himself, he completely lost himself in the praises of Teacher He Jiong such as "amazing", "really amazing", and "oh wow".

Then, Mr. Huang Lei turned into a chef and remade the super bad movie "Midnight Diner", which received a rating of 2.9 on Douban, which was lower than the "Tiny Times" series made by writer Guo Xiaosi.

However, it is true that Teacher Huang Lei loves to cook at home.

Regardless of whether it tastes good or not, Teacher Huang Lei deserves praise for being able to cook.

Chu Hui had never cooked much anyway. In the 11-square-meter rental house in the Second Ring Road, Gao Lu paid for all the kitchen utensils, and she was basically the one responsible for cooking.

Facing Teacher Huang Lei’s doubts, Chu Hui thought of Sister Xiaoran, who had worked with him on the drama "Home" in Yibin, and replied with a smile: "I don’t remember who I heard it from, but I remember someone said it, It seems to be Sister Xiaoran?”

Huang Lei couldn't remember it, so he asked Chu Hui: "Huizi, did you remember it wrong?"

Zhao Baogang had no impression either. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Maybe she went to your house for dinner with us?"

Huang Lei thought about it and said, "Why don't I remember that I cooked for Li Xiaoran?" As he said that, he looked at Zhao Baogang.

Hearing Chu Hui mention the words "Sister Xiaoran", Huang Lei immediately thought of Li Xiaoran, and then asked with a smile: "Huizi, the sister you are talking about is Li Xiaoran, right?"

Shi Kang received full remuneration at the time. From the preparation of "Struggle" to the filming and finalization, he followed the team throughout the entire process, revising the script at any time, and even participated in the promotion of the film.

Facing Zhao Baogang's invitation, Chu Hui could only apologize and said helplessly: "Director, I'm really sorry. I may not be able to participate in the promotion of this drama."

Huang Lei thought it made sense and nodded with a smile: "Sure!"

"Because at the end of August, I may have to go out to film the new drama "Snow Leopard". If you trust me, you can cast me in this new drama "Snow Leopard"."

Seeing that Chu Hui's popularity is booming now, Zhao Baogang also invited Chu Hui to help promote the drama "Who Calls the Shots of My Youth".

"Although I can't guarantee that the drama "Snow Leopard" will help you make a lot of money, it is not difficult to make one or two million."

"Since Huizi wants to eat the food you cooked, just choose a time another day and cook him a meal, otherwise Huizi will say you are stingy."

After three rounds of drinking.

Chu Hui repeatedly said: "Yes, yes, that's her."

The reason why Chu Hui took the initiative to let Zhao Baogang participate in investing in the drama "Snow Leopard" was because he always felt that he was ashamed of Zhao Baogang.

Although the script "Who is in Charge of My Youth" was "created" by Chu Hui himself, he is different from Shi Kang who created "Struggle".

Chu Hui smiled and replied: "How can it be possible? If Teacher Huang cooks it himself, no matter how busy I am, I have to take time to taste it."

Zhao Baogang interrupted: "Da Mao, who cares who said that!"

"Huizi, when you are free one day, I will invite you to my house as a guest. I will personally cook you a meal of my specialty. You can't help but appreciate it."

Chu Hui smiled and said, "It should be so. I remember someone said that you are good at cooking. I don't remember who said it specifically."

Zhao Baogang invited Chu Hui to dinner this time not just to chat with Chu Hui and reminisce about old times, but mainly because the drama "Who Calls the Shots of My Youth" will be broadcast in September.

The cooperation between Chu Hui and Zhao Baogang was a one-time deal, a buyout price. There was no obligation to sell the script of "Who Makes the Decision of My Youth" to Zhao Baogang.

In Chu Hui's heart, Zhao Baogang was kind to him, his benefactor and his bole.

From letting Chu Hui participate in the drama "Struggle" to buying his script "Who Calls the Shots of My Youth", these were all decisions made by Zhao Baogang...

Without Zhao Baogang, Chu Hui's development in the past two years might not have been so smooth.

Chu Hui promised Zhao Baogang that he would show it to Zhao Baogang as soon as possible when writing scripts in the future, but he did not do so.

You know, Zhao Baogang approached Chu Hui twice to ask him to play a role, but Chu Hui declined both times with various reasons.

Plus this time...

Zhao Baogang was disappointed every time. Not to mention Zhao Baogang's dissatisfaction, even Chu Hui himself felt a little guilty.

Due to the huge sales of the drama "Yanjing Love Story", Chu Hui's voice has also reached its peak when preparing for "Snow Leopard".

Now who is allowed to vote and who is not allowed to vote is all a matter of Chu Hui's words. There is no need to look at anyone's face...

Because Chu Hui now has capital, even if no other investors participate in the investment, his total assets alone can barely cover the investment in the drama "Snow Leopard".

Hearing Chu Hui's words, Zhao Baogang was also very pleased and said with a smile: "Huizi, did you write the play "Snow Leopard" you mentioned?" Chu Hui denied with a smile: "No, It was an adaptation of a novel that I bought myself. The copyright of the novel alone and the changes to the script cost me over 100 million, almost 200 million. "

In fact, Chu Hui bought the film and television adaptation rights of the novel "Special Warfare Pioneer" for a mere 18 yuan, not even 20 yuan.

"Although I didn't write the script of "Snow Leopard", don't you know my vision for selecting scripts?"

Zhao Baogang thought the same thing. Although Chu Hui didn't act in a few works in total, his roles in "Soldier Assault", "Struggle", and "The Age of Naked Wedding" were all popular, and they were still popular.

But after all, Zhao Baogang hadn't read the script of "Snow Leopard" yet, and he didn't dare to take too many risks, so he gritted his teeth and said to Chu Hui: "Huizi, if you say so, then I will invest 200 million."

"Huizi, I believe in you, so I fell in love with you. You can't fool me,"

Chu Hui couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Don't worry, director, I don't want to fool anyone, but I don't dare to fool you!"

Seeing that Chu Hui was quite reliable, Zhao Baogang smiled and replied: "Sure, let's just settle this matter!"

"no problem!"

Seeing that Chu Hui and Zhao Baogang had negotiated a cooperation, with an investment of two million, Huang Lei felt quite envious.

Although Huang Lei has filmed many TV series in the past few years and participated in the investment and production of "Double-sided Tape" for the first time, his return on investment so far has not been very high.

It was Huang Lei's first meeting with Chu Hui. Even if he had an idea in mind and wanted to invest in Chu Hui's new drama "Snow Leopard", he was too embarrassed to say it.

Fortunately, Chu Hui respected him very much, and took the initiative to make friends with him, saying that he would go to him to taste his cooking skills. Thinking of this, Huang Lei no longer worried that he would have no chance to cooperate with Chu Hui in the future.

In Huang Lei's eyes, our Chinese society is like this. As long as the relationship is in place and we are familiar with each other, it is easy to talk about anything.

Huang Lei is still confident about this.

That night, the drama "Yanjing Love Story" continued to be broadcast on major satellite TV stations, and the ratings of the drama were also released that day.

To the delight of all the creators, including Chu Qiao, "Yanjing Love Story" quickly became popular both online and offline as soon as it was aired.

According to CCTV's Sofuri ratings survey data, on the day it was broadcast on July 7, the ratings of "Yanjing Love Story" broke one point, reaching 8 points, thus ascending to the top of the national satellite TV ratings in the same period.

The opening song "Beijing Beijing" sung by Yanjing singer Wang Feng also began to spread overnight in Yanjing and cities outside Yanjing.

Seeing that the drama "Yanjing Love Story" was so popular and had such high ratings, Chu Hui breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the reputation of the show, it is not within Chu Hui's consideration for the time being.

In Chu Hui's view, as long as the reputation of the drama "Yanjing Love Story" is not too bad, the drama "Snow Leopard" he prepared will not worry about selling.

TV stations are not stupid. They spend money to buy TV series to broadcast. They don’t look at word-of-mouth, but whether the ratings of the show are high and whether the TV station can make a lot of money from advertising.

The next day, evening.

As one of the producers, Zhu Zhibin, in order to celebrate the ratings success of "Yanjing Love Story", specially invited Chu Hui to have a celebration banquet together.

But because he had an appointment with Commander Ma in the evening, Chu Hui uncharacteristically did not drink, or even drank at all, which made Zhu Zhibin quite disappointed.

Because she was in her third trimester of pregnancy, Ma Yili couldn't stand the smell of alcohol. Chu Hui didn't want to be unhappy at that time, so he didn't drink as usual.

Zhu Zhibin felt that it was too boring and asked in confusion: "Mr. Hui, what's going on? Can't you drink a little bit of wine?"

Chu Hui pretended to be uncomfortable and said: "I can't drink, my stomach feels uncomfortable, and I've had diarrhea all day long."

"If it weren't for your sake, Mr. Zhu, I wouldn't even come to eat, let alone drink!"

Now that Chu Hui has talked about this, it would be a bit unkind for Zhu Zhibin to persuade him to drink again.

Zhu Zhibin smiled and sighed: "Okay, you don't have to, I'll drink two glasses by myself."

While Chu Hui was eating, Commander Ma also called and asked Chu Hui when it would be convenient to meet.

Because she didn't want to be too late, Ma Yili, who originally planned to meet at 8 o'clock, told Chu Hui before 6: that she had already set off.

Chu Hui didn't let anyone wait too long. He secretly said to Ma Yili in the corridor outside the hotel room: "Yili, I'll be there soon!"

After talking to Ma Yili on the phone, Chu Hui hurried back to the box and laughed with Zhu Zhibin to apologize: "Mr. Zhu, I'm really sorry. I have something urgent to do. Let's talk another day."

"I'll be the host next time! I'll apologize to you again!"

Ps. Chapter 4 today, thank you to everyone who subscribed and voted, thank you all, and wish you all a happy life.
