Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 33 The 1.5 Billion Advertising Effect
Looking at Hou Hongliang's anxious look.

Li Chen smiled and said, "You are more impatient than me. Drink some tea to moisten your throat."

Then Li Chen made a phone call: "You can come over now"

Hou Hongliang asked him who he was, and Li Chen smiled and said he was selling houses.

Hou Hongliang was even more confused.

He looked at the person in front of him inquiringly.

What is the purpose of selling the house?
The two chatted in Li Chen's office for a while, but Hou Hongliang was completely absent-minded.

It was not until the phone call came in that Li Chen and Hou Hongliang left the company together.

After leaving the company, Hou Hongliang saw a woman in a black business suit greeting Li Chen with a standard professional smile on her face.

The two got in the car, and Hou Hongliang couldn't help but ask again: "Where are we going?"

Li Chen smiled and said, "You'll know when you get there."

The black Audi stopped in front of a four-story office building.

After getting out of the car, Hou Hongliang finally understood and asked in surprise: "You want to buy an office building?"

Although Hou Hongliang is not from Beijing, he knows that this area in Dongcheng District will never be cheap.

Li Chen smiled and said, "Why else would I call you here from so far away? Am I going to invite you to visit the office building?"

The woman standing aside was ecstatic.

"Director Li, let's go in and take a look."

"Let's go, Producer Hou, let's go in and take a look."

Hou Hongliang had a complicated expression on his face as he was pulled into the office building by Li Chen.

Seeing the other party's calm look, it doesn't seem like he is joking.

But if it's true, he's really rich.

Hou Hongliang estimated that it would take at least 100 or 200 million yuan to buy this office building.

As a producer, this.
A huge psychological gap filled Hou Hongliang's heart.

Ignoring the chattering woman, Li Chen just chatted with Hou Hongliang.

When they reached the fourth floor, Li Chen turned around and said to the woman, "My friend and I will take a look ourselves."

The woman was very sensible and tactfully kept her distance.

Hou Hongliang had already learned the information about the office building from her: 13000 per square meter.

It’s about the same as I estimated.

The two men stood in front of the French window, and Hou Hongliang spoke first.

"Director Li, what exactly did you call me here for? Can you tell me now?"

Li Chen smiled and said, "What do you think of this place, Producer Hou?"

"Very good, but what does it have to do with me?"

Li Chen turned around and said, "How can it not matter? If you don't like it, we can choose something else."

Hou Hongliang was even more confused: "Director Li, what on earth are you talking about? Stop playing dumb with me."

Li Chen nodded, and without further ado, he said directly: "I hope you and I can cooperate."

"cooperate?"

"Well, let's work together to create the top domestic film and television brand. I'll make movies, and you'll make TV series. It's that simple."

"This is where we start, and there will be a day in the future."

"The movies and TV series produced by you and me will become domestic benchmarks in terms of word of mouth, box office and ratings."

"That's when we'll go abroad and compete with film and television productions from all over the world!"

Hou Hongliang didn't expect that he would have such a plan.

He had dreamed of becoming a benchmark in the industry many times, but he had never thought about going abroad.

Hou Hongliang was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"TV series, going abroad? Is there really such a day?" Hou Hongliang stuttered.

Li Chen was full of confidence: "Producer Hou, look at the current environment, the country has entered O!"

"You may not want to leave the country, but you can't stop others from entering your home!"

"Korean and Japanese dramas are just around the corner, and they will show their swords sooner or later."

"Not to mention there's a ferocious beast lurking across the ocean."

"Do I need to give you an example of how we will be beaten if we don't prepare early?"

"You and I have similar interests, and we hit it off right away."

"Why can't we start from now on to conquer the cities and strongholds in the fields we are good at? Why don't we make plans early?"

Hou Hongliang rolled his throat and said, "You want me to work for you?"

Li Chen shook his head and said: "No! It's cooperation"

At the moment of leaving Beijing, Hou Hongliang was still restless.

He had to admit that Li Chen's calm and frank expression of his feelings was not passionate.

But what touches people's hearts the most is often ordinary words mixed with moving dreams.

He had to admit that he was tempted.

And when the other party promises that the company established in partnership will be led by him and will not interfere in its operations.

In the future, I can buy back 50% of the company's shares from him at the cost price of the company's registered capital.

He knew it would be difficult for him to refuse, and he didn't want to refuse.

Isn't this the dream I have been pursuing for a long time?

What he has to do now is to assemble a team of experienced and capable TV drama directors and screenwriters before the company opens.

Li Chen told him not to worry about funds, so he felt confident.

In the evening, Li Chen’s whereabouts that day were posted on the Internet.

"Director Li Chen appeared at the Dongcheng Jinxiu Diamond Center today with a strange man."

"According to reliable sources, Director Li Chen intends to purchase this four-story office building to expand the scale of his company."

"Jinxiu Ming Diamond is priced at 1.5 million yuan and is expected to be put into use before the Spring Festival."

The Internet was very efficient and the identity of the stranger was quickly confirmed.

Just a little-known producer.

Although the film "On the Way to School" he produced just won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Children's Film.

But there's really not much else to dig up.

When this news was released, the general public just sighed that he was rich, but the industry insiders were not calm.

Wang Zhonglei called Li Chen, but the line was busy and he couldn't get through.

Wang Jingyan called Yang Siwei over.

When they met, there was no nonsense, and he asked directly: "Siwei, is the news on the Internet true?"

Yang Siwei nodded. At this moment, no less than ten people had confirmed the authenticity of the news with her.

Wang Jingyan sighed: "Director Li is really talented!"

Then he chatted with Yang Siwei for a few more words, but his mind was already drifting elsewhere.

"Perhaps in addition to Chengtian, Rongchen Pictures is also a good choice."

"Yang Siwei is still young after all, and his resources can fully complement those of Rongchen Pictures."

"I just don't know if the other party has this intention."

Li Chen's generosity gave Wang Jingyan other ideas, as he was able to buy an office building for 1.5 million yuan.

Even Huayi has to think carefully.

Li Chen didn't know that he was being followed.

But when the first call came, he understood.

"Brother, did you really buy the Splendid Diamond?"

Li Chen had just hung up the phone when Han Sanping called again.

I was also surprised to hear that he had indeed spent 1.5 million yuan.

At first Li Chen said he wanted to expand the scale, but he didn't expect the step to be so big.

He thought Li Chen would at most rent a floor of an office building, but he didn't expect that he directly bought one.

Wang Changtian hung up the phone, feeling a little sad.

The man sitting opposite him said, "Chang Tian, ​​it seems that the news is true. Are you familiar with this young man?"

He and Wang Changtian were college classmates and he was also a senior executive at Sina. He noticed the news as soon as it appeared online.

When I think about it, I didn't expect that my old classmate was so familiar with the other party and we were already brothers.

I immediately called the other party to confirm the authenticity of the news.

Wang Changtian nodded and said, "In the past, I just regarded him as a younger brother with a similar temperament and a person I could cooperate with."

"I didn't expect this brother to be so clever. I was wrong about him."

"I'll introduce you to each other someday."

The man nodded. He also wanted to meet this young man who had risen like a comet in the past two years.

Jiuzhaigou, The Return of the Condor Heroes crew.

Liu Yifei had just taken a shower and was sitting on the sofa, smelling fragrant.

Liu Xiaoli hung up the phone, still a little surprised.

She glanced at her daughter who was sitting on the sofa reading a book and said, "Xixi, what does Li Chen do at home?"

Liu Yifei casually replied: "I heard him say that his parents are both workers."

After he finished speaking, he realized what was happening and looked up and asked, "Mom, why are you asking these questions?"

Liu Xiaoli thought for a moment before saying, "Old Chen called just now and asked me about Li Chen and you, mainly Li Chen."

Liu Yifei blushed and asked in confusion: "Why is Godfather asking these questions?"

Liu Xiaoli replied, "Go check it out online yourself."
Liu Yifei immediately put on her slippers and went back to her room.

Unfortunately, Miss Liu’s focus is not at all in line with that of her mother.

When she saw the news online, she sent this message to Li Chen: I have time to visit the office building, but I don’t have time to visit the set!
Li Chen was speechless and did not hide the fact that he wanted to expand the company.

Said he would definitely go when he had time.

In fact, he didn't want to go at all. With his bearded style, he would definitely be hyped if he went.

It's not good for Miss Liu or him.

The next day, Li Chen transferred another 20 million yuan to his parents so that they could buy a bigger house in Hainan.

I can live there comfortably.

I originally wanted to persuade the old man to retire and reunite with his family. We are not short of money now.

Who knew that the old man was so stubborn, and in turn gave him a lecture, telling him not to spend money recklessly even if he had money!
Li Chen did not argue, and bought a villa in Shunyi District a few days later.

He also bought several small apartments within the Second Ring Road in the name of the company.

Since house prices haven't risen in the past two years, you will definitely not lose money by buying a house.

If you want to listen to the old man in everything, don't do anything.

Li Chen went through the resume of Painted Skin that the company received.

In the end, only six copies were left.

Zhao Wenzhuo, Lü Songxian, Li Bingyu, Li Xiaoran, Sun Li, Zeng Li.

Li Chen asked Yang Siwei to notify the candidates who were invited to audition as well.

In the past, Li Chen’s Rongchen Pictures only had Li Chen as a big director, but the company’s strength was not at all up to par.

But in the past two days, no one dared to underestimate Li Chen's Rongchen Pictures, a film and television company that could spend 1.5 million to buy an office building.

There are only a few in the whole country!

The artists were naturally very happy to receive the invitation from Rongchen Pictures.

The roles invited for audition are as follows

Wang Sheng: Gu Tianle, Nie Yuan

Lizard Spirit: Zhou Zhaolong

Monster Catcher: Tang Yan
Yang Siwei mentioned Li Bingqiao's audition for the role of Peirong.

Li Chen asked her to come for the audition and then talk about it after it was over. It was impossible for her to get in through the back door.

The character of Peirong has a scene where she transforms into a monster, and her appearance is extremely scary and ugly.

She didn't want another Zhao Yanzi to show up after the filming started.

This needs to be informed to the actors in advance during the audition.

If you care about your image, just get out of here.
