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

Chapter 188: Preparing for the first movie, even though it’s not good, I want to make it even more!

Chu Hui did not follow the large army and rush back to Yanjing as soon as possible. Instead, he went directly to Shenzhen Town and stayed home for three days. He had several meals at home with his parents.

Chu Shuai, who has not seen his son for such a long time and rarely goes home, also acted as a loving couple with his wife.

Chu Hui didn't expose his parents' disguise, and they were eating and drinking when they should.

Before leaving, Chu Hui told the two elders to take care of their health and paid 20 to each of their bank accounts.

After leaving home, Chu Hui did not go back to Yanjing, but set off for the crew of "Living with a Stewardess".

As a new first-tier city in China, Shenzhen has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to a few years ago.

Moreover, the progress of Shenzhen Town is not only on the economic level, but also on the entire spiritual outlook, which has a completely new look.

When he came back to Shenzhen this time, what impressed Chu Hui the most was that, apart from the high-rise buildings, it was the surrounding greening, which was very well done. There were flowers, plants and trees everywhere.

On the other side, after learning that Chu Hui had come to visit the crew, the work attitude of the entire crew became much more positive and serious than usual.

When Wen Zhang saw Chu Hui, he was like a son seeing his father, calling him "senior brother" one after another, not to mention how flattering he was.

Chu Hui pretended to be serious and said: "Yaya, what's your attitude? Why don't you call me when I see your brother Hui?"

Tong Liya couldn't help but asked: "When did you come? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Seeing the tenderness and sweetness in Tong Liya's eyes, Chu Hui knew in his heart that there was bound to be a fierce battle at night.

But in order to prevent others from noticing the clues, Tong Liya did not quarrel with Chu Hui, but just glanced at Chu Hui shyly as a response to Chu Hui.

It wasn't until 11: pm that Chu Hui decided to call it quits.

Chu Hui had long been accustomed to strange things and asked with a smile: "Xiao Wen, how do you feel? Are you still used to it here?"

Wen Zhang smiled hurriedly and nodded: "Okay, senior brother, I will definitely perform well!"

However, because Wen Zhang lived next door, Tong Liya had been holding back and did not dare to talk too loudly.

"Usually I don't even make a call. Who knows if you are coming to see me or the crew." Tong Liya said this, but she was still very happy in her heart.

In order to make Tong Liya happy, Chu Hui secretly said to Tong Liya: "I will go back to the hotel first and take care of you at night!"

Tong Liya called out "Brother Hui" in embarrassment, and then said angrily: "Who kept you from coming to see me for so long?"

Chu Hui smiled and explained: "You are filming, and I am filming too. How do you think I can get here?"

In order to avoid embarrassment and prevent Wen Zhang from hearing the noise in her room, Tong Liya deliberately turned up the TV volume.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't seen her for so long, but Chu Hui couldn't help but feel interested when he looked at the pure and ladylike Tong Liya in front of him.

Hearing Chu Hui's words, Tong Liya's fair cheeks turned red.

Chu Hui patted Wen Zhang on the shoulder and said sincerely: "Act with your heart. If this drama is completed, you will have a chance to be on the front line!"

And Chu Hui did not disappoint Tong Liya. He barely let her rest since the show ended at 8pm.

After chatting with Chu Hui for a few words, Wen Zhang returned to filming the drama "Living with the Stewardess".

Wen Zhang said with a smile: "It's a good senior brother. Thanks to you, everything is fine."

"Besides, "Step by Step" has just been completed for a few days, so why don't I come to see you right away?"

Maybe it was because she hadn't seen Chu Hui for a long time. When Tong Liya saw Chu Hui on the set, she was not only surprised but also a little shy.

It's quiet at night.

Chu Hui lay on the bed refreshed and watched boring TV programs.

After taking a bath, Tong Liya came out of the bathroom, wrapped in a bath towel, and dried her hair by the bed.

After her hair was dried, Tong Liya obediently lay down next to Chu Hui and chatted with Chu Hui every sentence.

When talking about this cooperation with "Wenzhang", Tong Liya mysteriously said to Chu Hui: "Brother Hui, I want to tell you something, but don't tell anyone else."

Chu Hui asked curiously: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Tong Liya hesitated for a moment before she mustered up the courage to tell Chu Hui: "I feel that Wen Zhang is quite stingy, and a bit..."

Seeing that Tong Liya hesitated to speak, Chu Hui asked doubtfully: "What's the matter? Tell me!"

Tong Liya answered truthfully: "A little perverted..."

"I feel like the way he looks at me is weird... He talks very frivolously when no one is around, and he often compliments me on my good figure..."

Chu Hui didn't think it was strange, because he often teased other women like this, and then said: "It's normal, men can't be lewd, let alone a beauty like you." "You have to be careful yourself, if he dares to If you do anything, tell me and I will teach you a lesson."

Hearing Chu Hui's words, Tong Liya nodded happily: "Okay, I understand, I will take care of myself."

"However, it's actually okay. He just has a thief heart but no courage. Maybe it's because he's afraid that his wife will know."

Chu Hui hugged Tong Liya tightly and said sincerely: "Anyway, please pay attention to your own safety. If he dares to bully you, tell me immediately."

Tong Liya smiled and nodded: "I know, he won't mess around, don't worry."

Because he had to prepare for his debut solo film, Chu Hui only stayed in "Living with the Stewardess" for three days before leaving Shenzhen and returning to Yanjing.

After returning to the company, Chu Hui also took the movie script he wrote - "People on the Road" to Movie Ju for review.

Actually at the beginning. Chu Hui didn't really want to make "The Journey" because it was a comedy and it wasn't very realistic.

But with Chu Hui's current financial strength, if he wanted to make a movie, he could only choose to shoot a low-cost comedy movie.

First, the investment is small and it is easier to recover the capital.

Secondly, it has a wide audience and is easier to accept than other types of movies.

In fact, it is quite difficult to make money making movies these days, especially in our mainland.

Unless there are movies made by very few big directors such as Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, and Chen Kaige, or large-scale commercial films, most movies will not make much money and almost all will lose money.

Moreover, making TV series and making movies are two different things. Just because the TV series is good and has high ratings does not mean that the movie will also be good, and the box office cannot be guaranteed.

Just like Zhao Baogang, he and Feng Xiaogang both debuted at the same time.

But Feng Xiaogang makes movies just to make money and make one movie popular.

Zhao Baogang's dream is to make movies, but he doesn't even dare to touch movies.

Even though he was successful in the TV industry, he still wasn't sure about movies.

Because a movie can cost tens of millions of dollars in investment, and a 1000 million movie can only be considered a small-budget movie. If the distribution company is not optimistic about it, it may not even have the original opportunity after the filming is completed.

Even if a small movie with an investment of 1000 million can go to theaters, the box office must be at least 3000 million in order to recover the capital. This is not just a return of capital, not a profit.

Some movies with tens of millions of investments may end up with only a few million at the box office. Let alone making money, it is extremely difficult to make back the money.

Of course, if the movie is well made and has a high box office, it can also make a lot of money. For example, the movie "Crazy Stone" directed by Ning Hao only cost 300 million, but the box office was as high as 2500 million. The return on investment is astonishingly high.

In contrast, for a TV series with an investment of 1000 million, it is difficult to make big money. Even if it cannot make big money, it is still easy to make a small amount of money without losing too much.

To sum up, from a business perspective, making movies is very risky, and it is about gaining wealth through risk.

The risk of making a TV series is low. As long as you have a suitable script and cast, you can almost make some money. It doesn’t matter if you make more or less, you won’t lose money.
For a movie to make money, the right time, place, and people are indispensable. The profit upper limit of a movie is very high, but the lower limit is also ridiculously low.

If a movie sells well, in the current movie market, the box office can be hundreds of millions.

But similarly, if a movie does not sell well, let alone making hundreds of millions, it may not make a penny.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Chu Hui still felt that he had a better chance of recouping the cost of filming the failed movie "On the Road".

After all, this is his first movie. What Chu Hui wants now is not to make money, but to gain a foothold in the film industry and build a reputation for himself.

There is an old saying that goes, the business of beheading is robbed by others, but the business of losing money is something no one dares to touch.

After learning that Chu Hui planned to switch to filmmaking, several film and television companies that had approached him to cooperate had a wait-and-see attitude, and they were almost unanimously negative and not optimistic.

Zhao Baogang even bluntly said: "Huizi, I'm not telling you, you are good at making TV series, so just keep making TV series."

"Let me tell you, making movies and making TV series are two different things. The water here is deep."

Not only did Zhao Baogang not support it, Zhu Zhibin, Chen Haowei, and Lin Yufen also felt that Chu Hui's decision to make a movie was not only unreliable, but also a bit taken for granted.

Even if Chu Hui has the ability to write a good script and make a good movie, it doesn't mean he can make money.

Most of the time, the box office of a movie has little to do with the quality of the movie or the size of the actors.

All in all, movie box office is a mystery.

But even if no one supported him in making a movie, Chu Hui did not give up. He was even more determined to make a movie that would be both popular and popular.
