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

Chapter 167 Teruko, you are the most capable man I have ever seen!
April 2009, 1, morning.

Donghuan International Building, a 9-story office building.

Chu Hui Studio welcomed several heads of satellite TV stations and local stations.

This time they came to Yanjing not only to preview the new drama "Snow Leopard", but also to discuss cooperation.

As the host, Chu Hui, accompanied by Zhu Zhibin, received these distinguished guests from afar.

In the past, when Chu Hui was not so popular, he always asked producer Zhu Zhibin to go to major local stations and satellite TV stations to recommend TV series produced by his company.

But this time, things have turned.

In order to win the broadcast rights of the drama "Snow Leopard", major TV stations came from all directions to Yanjing, the capital, to discuss cooperation matters with Chu Hui.

"Mr. Chu, we meet again!"

"Hello, Mr. Chu, I am Lin Yuan from Sichuan Satellite TV. Nice to meet you today."

Chu Hui smiled and warned: "Mr. Zhu, as long as our prices are not too outrageous, we can make money and they can make money too, so why not."

Everyone is a businessman, not a fool. In their eyes, Chu Hui is like a walking money tree.

"Mr. Chu, I am Wang Lin from Guangdong TV. We are from my hometown in Guangzhou."

Almost every person in charge of the TV station walked up to Chu Hui and took the initiative to get close to him.

One is to protect his privacy. Chu Hui does not want his private life to be exposed in the spotlight and become a topic of conversation for others.

Of course, in business, politeness is always polite, and there will certainly be some bargaining between the producer and the buyer.

After hearing Zhu Zhibin's words, Chu Hui gained confidence and replied with a smile: "Okay, with your words, Mr. Zhu, I feel relieved."

Chu Hui is a person who values ​​emotions. He doesn't like talking about money with others, and he doesn't pay much attention to material exchanges. He pays more attention to the interaction between soul and body.

Before leaving, Chu Hui patted Zhu Zhibin on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Zhu, you have worked hard during this period. Please try to raise the price of our drama as high as possible. Don't be soft-hearted."

In fact, in the past two years, Chu Hui and Li Xiaoran rarely went out to eat together.

There are three main reasons why Chu Hui doesn't want to expose his love affair.

Who doesn't know now that if one of Chu Hui's dramas is hit and the other is popular, it would not be a pity but a missed opportunity to make a lot of money.

Secondly, Chu Hui didn't want to hype up the scandal.

Zhu Zhibin smiled and nodded: "Mr. Hui, don't worry when I do things. I won't let you down. You're a bastard if you have money!" After saying that, he couldn't help laughing.

Zhu Zhibin vowed: "Okay, Mr. Hui, I have a sense of proportion, you don't have to worry, we have room for negotiation, and the result will definitely satisfy you."

Before Chu Hui became famous, he often went out to restaurants with Li Xiaoran.

But today is different from the past. Chu Hui has become a big celebrity in the TV industry, two levels more popular than Li Xiaoran. Naturally, he can no longer go out as frequently as before.

Therefore, even if he went out to eat with Li Xiaoran now, Chu Hui was fully armed and arrived directly at the hotel box, not daring to be careless for fear of exposing his love affair.

"..."

After chatting with Zhu Zhibin for a few words, Chu Hui left the studio and asked Li Xiaoran to go out for dinner together.

Therefore, Chu Hui left all the negotiation with the film buyers to Zhu Zhibin.

Whether as an actor, director, or producer, Chu Hui hopes that he can use his works and characters to speak instead of attracting attention through gossip.

Finally, there is the issue of image and character. Chu Hui does not want to create a "single" character, nor does he want to create a "good man character", nor does he want to create a "scumbag man character".

Because personality is a double-edged sword. A good personality can make you stand out, but at the same time, when the personality collapses, it will also make you a complete failure.

Just like Xiaowen's "wife-loving persona" and "good man persona", if she loves his wife well and is a good man honestly, then his persona can help him gain more favor and more favor. Good audience connection.

But if one day, Xiao Wen does something that goes against the character of a good man, he will definitely suffer backlash, and he may even return to before liberation overnight.

This is also the curse that Commander Ma puts on Xiaowen. If Xiaowen dares to do anything that is sorry for her, not only may his wife and children be separated, but his acting career will also be severely damaged.

Therefore, if one day Wen Zhang becomes famous and no longer loves Ma Yili, and wants to be with another woman, he needs to consider in advance whether it is worth cheating on him...

As for the so-called "scumbag man image", Chu Hui has considered it. If his persona is that of a scumbag man, he can date the woman he likes openly. Even if he is photographed by reporters, it will not matter.

However, Chu Hui considered that if his "scumbag man" character was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, he would be treated as a "flower picker" when he visited other people's homes in the future.

If everyone thinks that Chu Hui is a scumbag, then he may not even have married same-sex friends in the future, because they will unconsciously guard against him, for fear that their wives will be stolen by Chu Hui. Just imagine, if Chu Hui is a scumbag and always shows mercy, will Teacher Huang dare to call Chu Hui and visit his home in the future?

Therefore, Chu Hui does not plan to create a "scumbag man design". He might as well not create any character design at all, and just use his characters and works to speak for himself.

Unlike Chu Hui, who was cautious, Li Xiaoran was quite happy to go out to eat with Chu Hui this time.

Because it had been a long time since he had gone out to eat with Chu Hui, Li Xiaoran had never considered the impact that the exposure of his relationship with Chu Hui would have on him.

Eat when you should, drink when you should, and feel good whenever you want. This is Li Xiaoran's attitude towards life. He doesn't like the feeling of being restricted.

Seeing that Chu Hui's appetite was average, Li Xiaoran took the initiative to pick up some food for him and said with a smile: "Eat more. I heard that leeks are an aphrodisiac. You can only feel energetic after eating them at night."

Looking at the leek omelette that Li Xiaoran put for him, Chu Hui said in a dumbfounded voice: "Sister, what do you mean by this? Are you dissatisfied with my performance last night?"

Li Xiaoran smiled and replied: "Huizi, you said this yourself, but I didn't say anything."

"Sister, I'm very satisfied with your performance, don't think blindly."

Seeing that Chu Hui didn't believe it, Li Xiaoran continued: "Really, Huizi, you are the most capable man I have ever seen, a tough guy."

"It's too late for me to love you. How could I be dissatisfied with you?"

Seeing Li Xiaoran's sincere words, Chu Hui no longer had any doubts and immediately replied: "Sister, fortunately you explained to me."

"If you say you are dissatisfied with me, I will definitely make you unable to get out of bed tomorrow morning."

After hearing Chu Hui's words, Li Xiaoran not only didn't feel scared, but also looked forward to it very much.

In order to arouse Chu Hui's competitive spirit, Li Xiaoran replied unwillingly: "Huizi, if you want to say that, I really told you that I was not satisfied with your performance last night."

"Think about it for yourself. When we were together a few years ago, you stayed up all night and acted like normal people, lively and energetic."

"It's okay now. Every time between one and two o'clock, I say it's time to go to bed. You can tell me how you can satisfy me with your performance..."

Although Li Xiaoran said so, in fact, Li Xiaoran had always been very satisfied with Chu Hui's performance.

In Li Xiaoran's heart, Chu Hui was indeed a strong man, the most capable man she had ever seen in her life.

But in order to give himself a more passionate experience, Li Xiaoran deliberately angered Chu Hui, hoping to stimulate his potential.

Chu Hui knew that Li Xiaoran said this deliberately, and he didn't mean to be cowardly at all. He decided to give her more strength tonight, looked at her fiercely and said: "Sister Xiaoran, I will remember your words. Let's see what happens tonight." ”

Seeing the murderous look in Chu Hui's eyes, which didn't look like he was telling lies, Li Xiaoran felt expectant and at the same time secretly felt something bad and fearful.

Because before this, Chu Hui's attitude towards her was relatively gentle, and Li Xiaoran rarely saw such a fierce look in his eyes.

In order to allow Chu Hui to show mercy and ease the atmosphere, Li Xiaoran replied half-jokingly: "Huizi, I'm just joking with you, don't take it seriously."

Chu Hui pretended to be angry and said: "Sister, no one dares to make such a joke with me!"

You know, because he is grateful to Li Xiaoran, Chu Hui has always respected and loved Li Xiaoran.

But Chu Hui didn't expect that it was precisely because of his kindness and respect that Li Xiaoran no longer feared him and made such a joke with him.

Chu Hui thought to himself that it was time for her to learn a lesson and gain a long memory.

Sure enough, after returning home with Li Xiaoran, Chu Hui never let her go out of the house. Li Xiaoran was also a hard-nosed person who would take soft things but not hard ones.

It wasn't until four o'clock in the morning the next day that Li Xiaoran was so tired that he had to surrender to Chu Hui.

After this battle, Chu Hui finally proved himself.

After more than a week of discussions, 24 local and satellite TV stations finally bought the first-round broadcast rights of "Snow Leopard".

As long as the drama is starring Chu Hui or is produced, whether the drama is sold to satellite TV or broadcasted by local channels, the price has been rising steadily.

For example, "The Age of Naked Marriage" cost 1000 million to produce and sold 2230 million, with an average of 74 sold per episode and a net profit of 1230 million;
The total investment of "Yanjing Love Story" was 1600 million, and it sold 4500 million, with an average of 96 sold per episode, and a net profit of 2900 million;
This time, "Snow Leopard" had a total of 33 episodes, cost 2200 million, and sold 5600 million, with an average of 170 million sold per episode, and a net profit of 3400 million.

Although compared with "Yanjing Love Story", the net profit of "Snow Leopard" is only about 500 million more.

Actually no, mainly because the TV series "Yanjing Love Story" earned 500 million yuan in revenue through brand advertising.

"Snow Leopard" is an Anti-Japanese War drama and is not suitable for product placement. Naturally, there will be no revenue from advertising that year.

If the advertising placement of "Yenjing Love Story" is excluded, then the net profit of "Snow Leopard" is nearly 1000 million more than that of "Yenjing Love Story".
