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

Chapter 87 A new drama will be broadcast, an invitation from Commander Ma!
October 8, 6pm.

Chu Hui didn't go anywhere. He stayed in a rented house and wrote furiously, "creating" the plot of the 28th episode of "Yanjing Love Story". There are still 3 episodes left to complete.

Just as Chu Hui was engrossed in writing, the cell phone on the table suddenly rang.

Chu Hui picked up the phone and saw that it was Li Xiaolu calling. He also guessed that there might be a fierce battle tonight, so he answered the call.

After the call was connected, Li Xiaolu said directly: "Huizi, are you at home? Come out and play!"

Chu Hui felt that playing with them was pointless and a waste of time and energy. Without even thinking about it, he refused and said, "No, I don't have time. You can just play."

Li Xiaolu said angrily: "Huizi, you are so boring!"

Chu Hui asked in return: "I am energetic but not energetic. Don't you still know?"

Li Xiaolu said with embarrassment and anger: "You are shameless and dirty. Fortunately, I thought you were a gentleman before."

"Let me ask you one last time, are you coming or not? Aren't you bored staying at home every day?"

Chu Hui lied to her and said, "I told you I don't have time. I'm writing a script and it's due tomorrow. I don't have time to go out and play."

Li Xiaolu knew that Chu Hui was a homebody, and was not sure whether Chu Hui didn't want to go out or if he really had no time to write the script.

Thinking of this, Li Xiaolu asked tentatively: "Then I can go over and play with you? Isn't it convenient for you?"

Chu Hui quite liked playing with Xiaolu, it was quite coquettish, and he immediately replied: "It's convenient, you are welcome to come anytime."

Li Xiaolu was very satisfied with Chu Hui's answer and replied with a smile: "That's pretty much it. I'll come find you later."

"Okay, don't be too late. If it's too late, don't come."

"I know, it makes me want to go to your place to break down the house."

"Then don't come, I'm still innocent!"

"Just don't go if you tell me not to go. That young lady is so shameless."

"..."

After talking to Li Xiaolu on the phone, Chu Hui just picked up the pen and wrote a few words when the phone rang again.

This time it was Ma Yili who called, specially inviting Chu Hui to have dinner at her house tomorrow night.

Before Chu Hui had time to be happy, Ma Yili continued: "At 5 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, I will ask Xiaowen to drive to pick you up."

Chu Hui felt a little disappointed when he learned that Ma Yili and Wen Zhang had made an appointment with him together, rather than Ma Yili making an appointment with him alone.

Chu Hui smiled and replied: "Commander Ma, just send me the address. I will take a taxi there tomorrow."

Ma Yili felt a little uncomfortable and said, "How can that be done? It's too troublesome. I'll ask Xiaowen to pick you up."

"It's not troublesome. It's very convenient to take a taxi. I can just go there by myself."

"Okay, then you set off tomorrow around 5 o'clock. When you get to the gate of the community, call me and I'll ask Xiaowen to pick you up."

"..."

After talking to Ma Yili on the phone, Chu Hui lit a cigarette irritably because this was already the sixth call he had received since tonight.

Obviously, the frequent calls have seriously affected Chu Hui's creative state.

After smoking a cigarette, Chu Hui quickly adjusted his mood and returned to writing the script.

11 pm.

Li Xiaolu arrived at Chu Hui's rental house as promised.

Seeing Li Xiaolu's face flushed and looking very delicate and charming, Chu Hui smiled and joked: "Xiaolu, if you are later, I won't serve Brother Hui anymore."

Li Xiaolu pretended to be angry and said, "How dare you?"

Chu Hui said disapprovingly: "What am I afraid of? If you don't believe me, try it!"

Having been fooled three times, Li Xiaolu really didn't dare to try again. She knew Chu Hui too well and was afraid that Chu Hui would find excuses to punish her again, so she hurriedly gave up and said: "I won't try, I'm not that stupid."

"..."

After joking for a while, Li Xiaolu sat on Chu Hui's lap and started making out with him.

I don’t know why, but when he was with Li Xiaolu, Chu Hui was always very energetic, and he would do it to death every time...

In front of Li Xiaolu, Chu Hui had no intention of pitying her at all. Anyway, he just took it as he pleased.

Although Li Xiaolu complained every time, but every once in a while, he still couldn't help but want to renew his relationship with Chu Hui.

The next day, morning. Chu Hui was still asleep when he was woken up by a call from his producer Zhu Zhibin.

Zhu Zhibin brought good news to Chu Hui, saying that the drama "The Age of Naked Marriage" not only successfully received the broadcast approval, but also signed contracts with five TV stations including Shanghai and Xi'an, and is expected to be broadcast in mid-October.

Hearing Zhu Zhibin's words, Chu Hui felt sleepy instantly and asked excitedly: "It's so fast. Isn't our drama still in the post-production stage?"

Zhu Zhibin explained with a smile: "There is no conflict. Some of the scenes of big directors and big stars don't have to wait to start filming."

"As long as the director, script, and cast are confirmed, a TV station will sign a contract with them."

Chu Hui then asked: "Mr. Zhu, how much does a TV station cost?"

Zhu Zhibin replied truthfully: "The price of each channel is different, the average episode is about 2."

"Ours is a 30-episode TV series. One TV station gives us an average of 60, and five TV stations give us 5 million."

Chu Hui was a little disappointed and said, "Then it won't be difficult for our drama to make back its original cost?"

Zhu Zhibin smiled and reassured: "Don't worry, it's still early. There are still two months to go. This is still the first round."

"If the broadcasting effect is good, other TV stations will ask us to sign contracts. You must have confidence in our works!"

After listening to Zhu Zhibin's explanation, Chu Hui also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, I'll thank Mr. Zhu for it."

Zhu Zhibin smiled and replied: "No matter where you are, we are all our own people, so there is no need to be so polite."

"If you hadn't been the leading male lead, our drama "The Age of Naked Marriage" might not have been sold at this price..."

After talking to Zhu Zhibin on the phone, Chu Hui stopped sleeping. He got up from the bed and lit a cigarette for himself to celebrate.

Seeing that Chu Hui was as happy as a child celebrating the New Year, Li Xiaolu couldn't help but said: "Huizi, it's just a drama, isn't it? Is it necessary to be so excited?"

Chu Hui blew out a smoke ring and said angrily: "Xiaolu, I think you need to be dealt with. If you don't understand, just stop talking. No one will treat you as a mute."

Seeing Chu Hui's murderous intent, Li Xiaolu didn't dare to talk back anymore, and could only mutter dissatisfiedly: "If you don't say it, don't say it, you stingy guy."

6 pm.

As agreed, Chu Hui took a taxi and arrived at a high-end residential area in Wangjing.

Although the housing prices this year are not that high, Chu Hui also knows that any one-bedroom suite here costs millions, or even two or three million.

Moreover, this house in Wangjing only accepts full payment and does not accept loans.

Wen Zhang, who had just graduated two or three years ago, couldn't afford such a house, so it could only have been bought by Ma Yili.

When Chu Hui got out of the car, Wen Zhang was already at the gate of the community and had been waiting for him for a long time.

Seeing that Chu Hui was still holding a bottle of Maotai and a bag of fruits, Wen Zhang said with a smile: "Brother, you are too polite. You are so polite when you come. Why do you bring gifts?" He said, He took the gift from Chu Hui.

Chu Hui handed the gift to Wen Zhang and replied with a smile: "You two are so thoughtful in inviting me, so you still have to have this etiquette."

While chatting like this, Chu Hui followed Wen Zhang to his and Ma Yili's love nest.

When Chu Hui entered the room, Ma Yili had already prepared a table of dishes.

Seeing Chu Hui coming, Ma Yili also took off her apron and greeted him with a smile.

Chu Huite liked Ma Yili's smile. When she smiled, her eyes were crescent like crescent moons.

However, Ma Yili's temperament is not as gentle as her smile.

In Chu Hui's view, Ma Yili is a celebrity in the industry, very good at getting things done, and knows how to pull threads together.

As early as many years ago, Ma Yili followed Guan Hu and saw the behind-the-scenes work of capital operations, screening and modifying scripts, as well as building crews and accumulating contacts and resources.

She has been smoking, drinking and partying for a long time. She is tough-tempered and can cause trouble, which is her most obvious label.

From Guan Hu, Teng Huatao, Jiang Ping, Xia Gang, to Liu Haibo, Zhang Li, Jiang Shan, Liu Zi, etc., they are all her friends in the circle.

When she was young, she was called Brother Ma, and when she got older, she was called Commander Ma.

Before learning that Chu Hui had invested in the drama "The Age of Naked Marriage", Ma Yili and Wen Zhang didn't think highly of Chu Hui.

They both felt that Chu Hui was just an ordinary actor with no background, not even signed by a brokerage company, and unlikely to have any development.

However, Ma Yili has many friends in the circle and is relatively well-informed. After learning that Chu Hui not only wrote two plays as a screenwriter, but also co-invested in one of the plays with Zhu Zhibin and the Jiang sisters, he could not help but Watch with admiration.

When Chu Hui saw Ma Yili, he also smiled and complimented: "Commander Ma, thank you for your hard work, you have cooked so many dishes!"
