NOVEL FROG Chapter 31
At the same time, Jiahe Diamond Company, Chairman's Office
"Chen Xiao is going to resign?"
The chairman frowned and looked at Zhang Jianhua,"Where is he going? Jiahao?"
Zhang Jianhua shook his head,"I heard from Mr. Wang of Jiahao that the Ministry of Culture took a fancy to him when reviewing the film and wanted to ask him to shoot a promotional video."
A trace of shock flashed across the chairman's eyes.
Ministry of Culture?
He had thought that with Chen Xiao's talent, he would definitely leave Jiahe Diamond and become a director.
But he didn't expect that this kid would step into the Ministry of Culture before he even walked out of Jiahe's door?!
Maybe he will be someone in the upper echelons in the future?
Thinking of this, the chairman's eyebrows moved slightly.
It would be a loss to cut off the relationship with such a talent directly.
"Lao Zhang, what is the compensation given to him in the advertising shooting contract?"
"1% of the net advertising revenue."
The chairman thought for a moment and decided:"Change it to 2%, and give him company shares for the additional 1%."
Zhang Jianhua was shocked.
Directly rewarding company shares?
This is the first time in Jiahe!
It seems that the chairman wants to use shares to let Jiahe and Chen Xiao get in touch.
Well, it's a win-win situation.
Xiao Chen will have a backer in the future.
Of course, if he doesn't want to keep this relationship, he can just sell the shares.
This nephew is really ambitious!
Zhang Jianhua smiled and said,"Okay, I'll do it in the next two days!"
……
In a cinema near Jiahe Diamond Company, a VIP room is showing"Burning Winter".
On the screen, two men and a woman are cuddling together, passing ice cubes with their mouths.
In the audience, a middle-aged man wearing a mask stares blankly at the screen.
What is this?
His cerebellum has atrophied.
Do young people like this now?
"Xiao Qin, do you understand?" he whispered to the young man next to him.
"I don't understand. Maybe it's because we watched"Ex-Files 4" for half an hour before coming here, so I can't understand it?"
The man shrugged,"Forget it, let's just watch this."
He picked up his coat and walked out of the screening room.
If there were sharp-eyed reporters nearby, they might be able to recognize him from the eyes behind the mask as the famous director, Hong Kaihua.
He just won an award at the Cannes Film Festival last year, and he is considered one of the top ten directors in the Chinese film industry.
The director closed the door and yawned.
He is currently preparing to shoot a romance film.
The National Day is coming soon, and in order to relax and get to know the market, he and his assistant came to the cinema to watch the newly released romance films. He first watched"Ex-Files 4", and then went to another screening room to watch"Burning Winter" for half an hour.
More than an hour later, I felt that they were all okay.
I just don't quite understand the deep meaning of"Burning Winter".
The assistant closed the door and laughed in a low voice:"Director Hong, I feel that these two films are not as good as ours."
Hong Kaihua laughed,"After all, we are in the Spring Festival period, so of course the quality should be higher."Ex-Files 4" is OK, and the estimated attendance rate is over 20%. It should be the box office champion for the National Day holiday."
20% may not seem like much.
But the average attendance rate for movies nationwide for the whole year is only about 8%. 20% is considered relatively high.
The two chatted and walked towards the exit.
As soon as they arrived at the theater lobby, the scene in front of them made them freeze in their tracks.
A large group of people crowded at the ticket gate, constantly urging the people in front of them,"Hurry up, the tickets are about to be checked."
There was also a group of people who were excitedly crowding at the ticket gate as if they were seeing an idol.
A man and a woman walked past them, and the girl took the boy's arm and smiled,"I heard this is the best love movie this year!"
Hong Kaihua was a little confused.
The best love movie?
He had just watched two love movies with good reputations.
《Ex-Files 4 is OK, but it's not the best movie of the year, is it? Is he out of touch with the market?
He murmured,"Is Ex-Files 4 so popular?"
Two little girls holding ice creams next to him laughed and said,"Uncle, everyone is here to see Titanic."
Hong Kaihua was stunned.
《Isn't"Titanic" an advertisement?
In the evening, I heard from my assistant that everyone on the Internet was calling for a negative review of this film. It's only been less than three hours, how come it has become the best love film of the year?
After a moment, he suddenly realized and looked at the two girls next to him:"You two, are you fans of Leo?"
A girl shook her head,"No, it's said to be very good, let's give it a try."
The assistant had already taken out his mobile phone to check the ticket purchase situation of the cinema.
He patted Hong Kaihua on the shoulder and whispered:
"Director Hong, Titanic seems to be really popular! The cinema we are in is full for the 9 o'clock show and the 10 o'clock show. Even the IMAX theater from midnight to 3:30 is full! Tomorrow afternoon... is also full." Hong Kaihua
's eyes were full of shock.
The IMAX theater costs more than 200 yuan a ticket, and the show doesn't end until 3 in the morning, but it's full?
Is it really good, or are the fans too crazy?
If so, the National Day box office champion will definitely change hands.
Even this"advertisement" that has been criticized for two months may create a box office miracle!
He frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said to his assistant,"Did you buy the premiere tickets?"
The assistant nodded and said,"Yes. You asked me to buy tickets for all romance films. But more than half of the premiere tickets have been aired."
"It doesn't matter, let's go and watch it now."
The two pushed open the VIP room where"Titanic" was playing.
Completely different from the lively atmosphere outside, there were only two people sitting in the middle of the more than 20 seats for the premiere.
Hong Kaihua and his assistant took their seats and looked at the screen.
In the picture, the ladies in the first class cabin boarded the lifeboat one after another.
A couple hugged each other and said goodbye in tears.
"Should we take the lifeboat according to our cabin class?" A lady said to the character played by Wins,"I hope it won't be too crowded."
Wins stared at the lady in disbelief and grabbed her shoulders,"Mom, stop it!���Don't you understand? It's so cold, and there are not enough lifeboats. Only half of the people can get on, and the rest can only leave it to fate!"
The man next to them sneered:"The upper class will not be left behind."
……
Hong Kaihua covered his mouth and whispered,"It's OK. The class antagonism is portrayed rather deliberately, and there is a suspicion of deliberately showing off emotions, but at least it's not empty."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from the left,"Uncles."
Hong Kaihua turned around and saw the little girl sitting next to him said angrily,"Uncles, don't talk nonsense if you haven't seen the previous part. This is just a side story. The director didn't show off emotions at all!"
"Sorry, I'm sorry." Hong Kaihua apologized awkwardly and continued to look at the screen.
In the picture, the plot continued to advance.
Ruth gave up the opportunity to get on the lifeboat and tried her best to save Jack.
At the same time, some first-class passengers tried their best to get on the lifeboat.
Some third-class women and children were locked under the iron door.
Before being blocked by the sea water, they were blocked by their compatriots.
The deck was getting more and more chaotic.
The second mate resolutely implemented the priority of women and children, holding an empty gun and pointing it at his compatriots.
The first mate accepted Carl's bribe.
Hong Kaihua's eyes were shocked and he looked at the screen in disbelief..
The portrayal of the little people with just a few strokes is amazing!
Who is the director?
How can he have such a strong ability to conceive and mobilize, and portray the little people in such detail.
Hearing that the quality of the film was very poor, he didn't pay attention to who the director was.
But now it seems that the director behind it is definitely worthy of attention!
Could it be that the 80-year-old Mr. He has returned to the stage?
Hong Kaihua took a deep breath and watched the film carefully.
Based on these ten minutes of pictures alone, he can already foresee that as long as the love line between the male and female protagonists is not a problem, this movie will definitely be the box office champion of the National Day!
