China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 197 Three Weeks
"Mr. Han, you are too polite. Okay, I will pay you a visit first when I get back."

"OK, bye."

After hanging up the phone, He Huagang was about to close his eyes and take a rest, but the harsh ringtone rang again.

There is no way, if any ringtone keeps ringing in your ears for three consecutive days, and most of the time you are still tired, you will feel harsh and bored.This is the trouble of happiness.

He Hua picked up his phone and looked: Liu Yifei.

Yes, take it.

"Hello, Sissy."

"Are you sleeping?" Liu Yifei hesitated listening to her boyfriend's tired voice.

"No, just lie down in the car. It's okay. What's the matter?" He Hua responded, closing his eyes and leaning on the seat.

Liu Yifei thought about it and decided to forget it. Let's give him a surprise in the evening. She pretended to be on the phone to check on the situation: "It's okay. I just want to ask you what you are doing. Go to sleep. Your voice is not good."

"Okay, then I'll hang up."

"Bye-Bye."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Yifei called He Hua's assistant Xiao Xu directly and asked them about today's itinerary, what time they would arrive at which theater, and how long they would stay. Finally, after asking clearly, she said:
"No one is allowed to say anything about this."

Now the road show of the "Lost Orphans" crew has arrived in the ancient city of Chang'an, and Liu Yifei happened to have an advertising material to be shot here today.

So, she prepared to give her boyfriend a surprise.

At night, when she appeared in He Hua's room wearing a black cheongsam, He Hua was first surprised and then happy.

"I thought someone was trying to harm me."

"Then what will you do if another woman shows up here?" Liu Yifei hung on He Hua mischievously.

He Huabiao was determined: "Then I will definitely run far away."

Just as Liu Yifei was about to praise her boyfriend, she heard him continue: "Who knows if there is any manipulation? What if you take a picture of me in my sleep?"

Liu Yifei was unhappy this time. She let go of her boyfriend with a hum and sat on the edge of the bed with her head tilted.

"I'm just kidding." He Hua laughed when he saw his girlfriend was angry.

He moved to pull his girlfriend, but she was thrown away, hugged her again, and still struggled. He Hua simply squatted down and slipped a hand through the gap in his cheongsam.

"You hate that I came here to surprise you, and you deliberately made me angry."

"Who makes me like to see you angry?"

"I won't come next time!"

Entering its second week, with the release of a series of new films, the attendance rate of "Orphans" continues to drop, and the film schedule that reached 42% at its peak is also slowly decreasing.

There is no way, people like Li Lianjie, Gong Li, and Zhou Runfa still have to be respected, so they can only squeeze the living space of other movies.

What’s surprising is that although the film schedule dropped in the second week, the movie’s box office did not collapse on a large scale.

6月18号、19号、20号，第二周的周五六日《失孤》仍旧拿下了1100万的票房，工作日也能入账200万左右。

"How is it? How much?" Zhang Guoli heard He Hua's cell phone ringing and looked over hurriedly. Zhu Yilong, who had serious dark circles under his eyes, also looked expectant.

"1941 million, almost 2000 million." A smile appeared on He Hua's face.

"Pah!" Zhang Guoli clapped his hands happily when he heard this figure: "A 50% drop, not bad, not bad."

Zhu Yilong also looked happy. The exhausting road shows these days were finally not in vain.

It's his first time starring in a movie, and he can achieve such results, so he has a promising future.

In fact, they would also ask the person in charge of the theater about the attendance rate during the road show, and they expected that the box office would be about the same.Sure enough,

Zhu Yilong felt that all the fatigue in his body had been swept away, and now it was no problem for him to run to two more cities.

But it’s the third week of the movie’s release, and the box office has already been exhausted, so the road show is meaningless, so He Hua said directly:

"Go back and have a good rest. It's been a hard time."

Zhang Guoli waved his hand: "It should be."

As the second week's results came out, He Hua's cell phone was blasted again.

Moreover, those who can get He Hua's private mobile phone number are some important people, such as Han Sanping, Wang Changtian, etc. Most of the partners have Huang Lan's contact information.

So He Hua had to deal with it carefully one by one.

Some of these phone calls were simply to congratulate him, to get acquainted, and to think of them if there was an opportunity to collaborate in the future; some directly asked him to direct a movie, with whatever salary he wanted, and whatever star he wanted, and they only wanted the female lead; Some are looking for cooperation, and they are not greedy and only want fixed income.

He Hua either declined or smiled and said he would consider it.

But now he really doesn’t have any projects on hand, so he can only talk about it later.

Back at BJ, He Hua went straight home and covered his head and fell asleep. He was really tired after all this time.

Sometimes I even want to just lie down and forget it. I am already so rich, why do I have to be so tired?
But just thinking about it, people still have to pursue something in life, and I am still favored by God. If I don’t work hard while I am young, are I going to look at other people’s faces in the future?

That can't.

After resting for two days and waiting for his mental state to feel better, He Hua drove to the company.

There's no point in staying at home without your girlfriend.

"Oh? Are Xu Jizhou and the others finished?" He Hua looked at the document in his hand.

"It was finalized at the end of May. After I told you, you had people prepare red envelopes for them. Did you forget?" Huang Lan reminded.

"Is this happening? I really don't remember it." He Hua thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it really happened, but he was busy promoting the movie at that time and didn't pay attention.

"So how did you do in the later stage?"

"It will probably be completed in a week or two. Director Xu is keeping an eye on it." Huang Lan changed her previous bad attitude towards Xu Jizhou and instead called him 'Director Xu'.

This made He Hua very curious as to why there was such a change.

"If you have seen his attitude towards his works, you will also admire him."

Xu Jizhou attaches great importance to the drama "No.". After all, this is the first drama he has filmed since joining the company.

The success of this TV series is related to whether he can truly gain a foothold in Youhua Entertainment.

"The products produced by Youhua must be high-quality products." He couldn't just destroy other people's brands when he came here.

Therefore, he devoted 120% of his energy to this drama. Every link was very meticulous. If he could handle it himself, he would not need anyone else. He would strive for excellence and ensure that he could make a name for himself immediately.

Huang Lan was very satisfied with this kind of work attitude.

He Hua nodded, just be serious.

In the third week, the weekly box office of "Orphan" was 1063 million, and the total box office reached 7000 million.

At this point, although the film has no possibility of breaking over [-] million yuan, compared with its production cost and publicity investment, this achievement is undoubtedly very successful.

He Hua also proved his ability again.
