Chapter 562 One Billion
7 month 25 day.

Liu Shishi was lying on the big white bed in the hotel, and her sleeping posture was extremely indecent.

While Lu Yuan was busy spending 30 billion, she was not idle either.

With only a few days left before the premiere of "Xuan-Yuan Sword", Cai Yinong brought the main creative team to Hunan for promotion.

Due to the popularity of "Search" and "Lost in Thailand", she is currently very popular, has many announcements, and her schedule is packed.

I couldn’t follow the whole process, so I could only discuss with Cai Yinong and selectively squeeze out time to attend relatively important programs.

"You, Guluban, can ask for a price! How can you kill someone! Sister Na can touch me. My crotch is sore!"

The phone emitted a magical ringtone, which was the recently popular Gangnam Style.

She was woken up, turned off the alarm, and looked at the time. It was seven o'clock in the morning.

First, I sent a harassing message to the dog, thought for a while, changed the ringtone to a pleasant one, then reluctantly slid out of bed and went to wash up.

Not long after I entered, there was a knock on the door.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Here I come, wait a minute."

Liu Shishi came out of the bathroom with a white towel wrapped on her head. She opened the door and looked outside. It was Tang Yan.

"Tangtang, when did you arrive?" She immediately smiled.

"I just put down my luggage half a minute ago."

Tang Yan was holding a few bags in his hands, shaking them in the air: "Here, I know you haven't had breakfast yet, so I brought these for you on the way."

"You are the best." Liu Shishi leaned against her affectionately and poked her head out: "What's the matter?"

"Rice noodles, what else could it be?" Tang Yan walked into the house and casually put the bag on the table: "I went to several breakfast shops and saw rice noodles everywhere."

"This is Hunan. There's a saying that goes, if you want to know the best breakfast in Hunan, Siu Noodles is the best."

Liu Shishi came up with a jingle.

Turning to walk towards the bathroom, she seemed to remember something and asked, "It's not light this time, is it?"

"It's spicy. It's so strong, but you're not afraid of getting acne." Tang Yan sat on the chair, holding his cheeks with both hands, curious: "When did you arrive?"

"About 2 o'clock last night."

Tang Yan calculated: "Doesn't that mean I only slept for less than 5 hours?"

"I've been too busy lately with so many activities to attend, it's so annoying." Liu Shishi held the hair dryer and blew her hair.

"Happy troubles." Tang Yan's expression was a little sour, and he was rummaging through the bags on the table. "Busy man, please hurry up, I haven't had breakfast yet."

"immediately."

After a while, Liu Shishi finished blow-drying her hair, and the two began to eat rice noodles. In addition to rice noodles, Tang Yan also bought two small portions of sugar dumplings.

"Your contract with Tangren is about to expire, right?" Tang Yan asked suddenly.

Liu Shishi was eating and playing with her phone while chatting with her boyfriend on WeChat. When she heard this, her brain froze for a few seconds: "There's still half a year left. It will be exactly six years in February next year. What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask if you would renew your contract."

"Hmm." Liu Shishi bit her chopsticks and said, "Actually, I haven't made up my mind. Old K wants me to stay and said that the company is going to go public and agreed to let me subscribe to some of the original shares, but..."

"Is it because Mr. Lu doesn't want you to stay in Tangren?"

"That's not the case. I asked him before and he said he would not interfere with my decision and let me choose for myself."

Liu Shishi frowned and stirred the rice noodles with chopsticks, obviously feeling troubled.

"Why not just let Mr. Lu buy Tangren?"

Tang Yan joked: "With the addition of 'Out of Time' and 'Lost in Thailand' this year, people say he will make at least 6 million yuan from his investment."

"How can there be so much? I have to pay taxes." She was busy explaining, "Besides, why would he buy Tangren? He has the Zhouyi Studio. It's a waste of money."

Liu Shishi seemed to realize what she was saying. Fortunately, Cai Yinong was not there, otherwise she would be so angry that she would die.

She coughed guiltily and hesitated for a while: "Forget it, don't think about it, the boat will be straightened out when the time comes, we'll see next year, why are you asking this?"

"I plan to terminate my contract with Orange Sky." Tang Yan replied.

"Ah, why?"

"The company has focused on theaters in recent years and doesn't pay as much attention to artists as before. The resources are not good enough."

Tang Yan felt unhappy. The three actresses from "Legend of Sword and Fairy III" were now in very different situations.

Liu Shishi is far ahead, with representative works on both the big and small screens. Yang Mi is also getting further and further on the road to becoming the queen of topics, but she is the only one who is not very popular.

At that time, Zixuan's popularity was higher than Longkui's.

"In my impression, Orange Sky can compete with Huayi." Liu Shishi ate a sugar dumpling.

The appearance of sugar dumplings is the same as that of northern fried dough twists, but northern fried dough twists are hard, while sugar dumplings are soft, sweet, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Tang Yan shook his head: "I have fallen behind a long time ago."

When Hong Kong films were declining, Orange Sky bought Golden Harvest at a high premium, but it did not manage the business well after the acquisition and failed to make a few blockbuster films, such as Storm Riders 2 and Red Cliff.
"So what are your plans for the next step?" Liu Shishi asked.

Tang Yan pursed her lips, no longer concealing anything, and said frankly: "Boss Cai asked me if I had any ideas."

Liu Shishi paused with the chopsticks in her hand and instantly understood what she was hesitating about.

"Just sign the contract, don't think too much about it."

Tangren is such a small place, and once the female artist comes in, she will inevitably compete for resources with her, the current top actress.

But for Liu Shishi, the company can't give her any decent acting contracts now. She has to either go out and find them herself or be introduced by Lu Yuan, so there is no competition.

"Luo Jin suggested that I set up my own studio so that I could have more freedom." Tang Yan added that she actually looked down on Tangren, and not only Cai Yinong but also Yu Zheng contacted her.

"As for the studio, it just so happens that Lu Yuan has several dramas to be released at the end of the year. If there is a suitable role, I will introduce it to you then." Liu Shishi lowered her head to look at her phone.

Tang Yan's eyes lit up, and he leaned forward: "Is this the play he talked about at the Magnolia Awards? By the way, what is the subject matter? You've been keeping it a secret and refusing to tell us."

"It's not the play he mentioned, it's something else."

"Other dramas?" Tang Yan was even more curious: "So how many dramas will Yuanfang Media produce? Why do they seem to be quite a lot?"

"Not many, not many." Liu Shishi's eyelids twitched, and she wanted to end the topic as soon as possible.

Lu Yuan has a big move coming up next year, which is very crucial. Now is not the time to reveal it to the public. It’s not that she doesn’t trust Tang Yan, but since it involves her boyfriend, she doesn’t want any risks.

Just as I was thinking of finding a reason to divert Tang Yan's attention, my cell phone suddenly rang.

She clicked it and her eyes gradually widened.

Tang Yan was surprised: "What's wrong?"

“Tangtang, the box office of Lost in Thailand has exceeded 10 billion, 10 billion!” Liu Shishi’s face was full of joy, she was proud of her boyfriend.

What does it mean to have a box office of over 1 billion? The first domestic movie to have a box office of over 1 billion is a watershed and is destined to go down in Chinese film history.

Tang Yan felt surprised, but not too surprised.

Unexpectedly, the figure of 10 billion is too far away for domestic films.

What’s not surprising is that after the release of Lost in Thailand, the box office has been soaring.

From breaking 5 million, to 6 million, until last week it broke the record of "Out of Time", reaching the unprecedented 9 million mark. In the eyes of the public, breaking 10 billion is only a matter of time.

The media must be going crazy, she thought to herself.
