My courtyard shelter

"Sister Xia, is my sister in the office?"

Erbao asked with a smile.

The receptionist raised his head: "Let me tell you, Xu Erbao, you three brothers haven't been here for a long time. Mr. Xu just gave instructions to go in directly when you come."

"We still have to go to school and don't have time."

Erbao shrugged.

"They are all excuses." The receptionist joked, "I heard from Mr. Xu that the three of you have found a partner. Even if you have time, you probably spend time with your girlfriend."

"Hey, you're right." Erbao pointed at his girlfriend and introduced: "Sister Xia, this is my girlfriend Xie Delin, she is also a police academy student."

"Sister Xia, hello!"

Xie Delin nodded at the other party.

"My dear, such a beautiful girl, no wonder you hide her and refuse to bring her out to see others."

"Where is it?" Xie Delin's face turned red.

"Haha... Didn't you take it with you today! Okay, Sister Xia, you are busy, we are going in."

Erbao waved his hand, then hugged his girlfriend and walked towards the general manager's office.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Please come in!"

Erbao pushed open the door and walked in: "Sister, it's me."

Coco stood up immediately and walked quickly to Xie Dailin: "Are you Dailin? You really look like a fairy."

"Hello, eldest sister!" Xie Delin greeted obediently.

"Come, let's sit down and talk."

Coco pulled the other person to sit on the sofa.

Erbao picked up the teapot on the coffee table and poured a cup of tea for each of the three of them. The tea was home-made green tea, which he recognized at a glance.

"Sister, you put too much tea, didn't you? We only picked a few kilograms of tea at home, and you almost wiped them all."

Coco rubbed her forehead: "I've been busy with work lately and work overtime every day. Drinking some strong tea can refresh you."

"If it doesn't work, just rest for two days. Don't hold on."

Erbao said with concern.

"Yes, eldest sister, your body is the most important thing."

Xie Delin echoed.

Coco waved her hand: "It's okay. The problem has almost been solved. After waiting for a while, I'm going to give myself a long vacation."

Next, Coco asked Xie Delin a lot of questions, and also told many interesting things about her second brother's childhood. In addition, the two also talked about the entrepreneurial process and daily work of "Blue Creative".

However, Coco has always been tight-lipped about the family background of Lao Xu's family. Her second brother had greeted her in advance, so she naturally would not cause trouble for no reason.

"Sister, you are really amazing."

It can be seen that Xie Delin admires her future sister-in-law very much. She started a business in college, and it took only three years to build the company to its current scale.

In her opinion, it was simply unbelievable.

Erbao interrupted: "My eldest sister is planning to switch to filmmaking. The first film has already started shooting and will be released as soon as next summer vacation."

"Sister, is this true?"

Xie Delin covered her mouth in surprise.

Making movies is too far away for young people of their generation.

After all, things are rare and expensive. There are only a few new movies released in China every year, and the ticket prices are cheap. Almost every one of them will arouse enthusiastic pursuit.

"Lin Lin, don't listen to Erbao's bragging. I'm just testing the water this time. It's unclear whether I can succeed. At present, the company's main business is still GG design."

Coco said modestly.

Making a movie is not an easy task. It is difficult to get a "filming license" from more than 90% of the film companies. She also relied on the connections she accumulated over the years to finally get her wish.

Xie Delin asked curiously: "Sister, what type of movie does your company plan to make?"

"A literary film, to be precise, it should be regarded as a romance film!" Coco replied with a smile.

Literary films require small investments and low risks.

It is the safest choice at present.

"Literary films?" Erbao asked casually: "Is there a market for literary films? What story is the movie telling?"

"The name of the movie is "Going Home," and the background of the story takes place during the great riots in the western part of the beautiful country. It mainly tells the story of a group of local Xia overseas Chinese who struggled to return to the country. Most of the scenes took place on the passenger ship."

Coco briefly introduced the plot.

After hearing this, Erbao almost blurted out: "The Daxia version of Titanic?"

"We also want to make a blockbuster, but unfortunately the total project budget is less than 30 million, and we can't create such a big scene. We can't even shoot it even if we want to!"

Coco shook her head helplessly.

"Who are the male and female protagonists? Can we invite celebrities?" Erbao asked immediately.

"Of course, the male lead is Liu Ce and the female lead is Liang Xiaomeng. Their combined salary is just over one million. Now it is no better than before. Even the top-tier celebrities have annual incomes of just over one million. "

"So low?"

Erbao and Xie Delin were both very surprised.

Coco explained with a smile: "Don't you see how many works are only released throughout the year? It's typical that there is too much food for the monks, and the competition here is much more intense than imagined.

Especially under the impact of the "Yuan World", the traditional film and television industry has declined rapidly. I have heard that some outdated artists are even willing to take on free movies in order to maintain their popularity. "

"So miserable?"

Xie Delin exclaimed.

"To be honest, which industry is not miserable now? As a worker, you can barely make ends meet. There are many restrictions on entrepreneurship and policy risks. Maybe joining the system is the best choice."

Coco sighed sincerely.

In the big era, everyone is small.

Thanks to their father’s support, the five siblings are able to choose the life they want and don’t have to rush for three meals a day.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, Erbao quickly interrupted and said, “Who is the director of this movie?”

“The famous director Ji Fangfang.”

“Ji Fangfang? A female director? How come I’ve never heard of her?”

“Have you seen Still Human, which was released two years ago? She made this movie and won the Best Director and Best Film at the Golden Rabbit Awards that year.”

“The movie that reflects the current situation of European nannies?”

“Yes, this one.”

Erbao suddenly became pessimistic and couldn’t help but persuade:

“Sister, you should change the director quickly. This Ji Fangfang is really not good. The movies she made are too boring. My brother and I almost fell asleep watching them.”

“This is art, do you understand?”

“What art? If it’s not good, it’s not good. No matter how much you say, it’s useless. Don’t lose money when the time comes.”

Erbao reminded.

Keke shook her head: "Today's film industry is not what you think. Filmmaking cannot just focus on making money, but also have a sense of social responsibility. In other words, if you want to stand out, you must win awards and have artistic pursuits. This is a prerequisite and an entry ticket. There is no room for negotiation." "What do you mean?" "You won't understand even if I tell you. Just remember one thing. I have been in business for three years. I am not a white-collar who knows nothing. I will not joke about the profits of my own company. I have my own considerations for every step I take." Keke said earnestly. "Well, it seems that I am over-worried." Erbao thought about it carefully. What the elder sister said was right. As a college student who has not yet graduated, he is definitely not as experienced as the elder sister. "I'm glad you understand." Keke nodded with relief, and then looked at Xie Dailin: "Linlin, are you interested in making a movie? Do you want me to help you arrange a small role?" "Sister, no, I have no acting experience at all, so I'd better not cause trouble for you." Xie Dailin quickly refused. ps: Please give me recommendation votes and monthly votes!
