Full-time actor

Chapter 242 [69] Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!

"Jiang Sheng, Chen Sheng said that "Blind Well" will be played in the morning the day after tomorrow!"

"In other words, we only have one day to prepare!"

Wu Qida was sitting in the general manager's office, talking on the phone with Jiang Zhiqiang from the mainland.

"the day after tomorrow?"

Jiang Zhiqiang was obviously shocked by this time. He basically called every day to find out what was going on in Xiangjiang.

Although the WHO has decided to lift the travel blockade in Hong Kong tomorrow, there are still many Hong Kong residents who are unwilling to leave their homes; if there is no vigorous publicity, no one will come to the theater to watch movies.

One day...how is it enough?

"Yes, I also told Chen Sheng, but he insisted on scheduling the film in the early morning of the day after tomorrow!"

"What's your suggestion?"

Jiang Zhiqiang narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the table.

"I've told Chen Sheng the pros and cons. The most we can do in Anle is arrange a premiere for him!"

"If the attendance rate in the early morning of the day after tomorrow is not satisfactory, the attendance on the next day will definitely be diverted as appropriate, or even all screenings will be stopped..."

Anle cannot afford the loss of all theaters being open for one day without audiences watching movies.

If it's just an early morning show, this is something you can try.

"Well, let's do it!"

"Tell Yuzi!"

Jiang Zhiqiang did not take this matter to heart. Although he was worried about the resumption of cinemas in Xiangjiang, it was not something he could control; after all, no one was willing to face such a thing when the epidemic broke out.

How big a wave can a small company make for something that is a big trend?

As for the choice of Chen Yu, Jiang Zhiqiang also considered it for the sake of Mei Yanfang and the male lead in the new film; anyone else might not have given him a chance to premiere.

Now that there is a match, Jiang Zhiqiang has already given Chen Yu enough face.

He can still bear this loss.

No matter how much it is, it is not a charity and cannot help endlessly.

"Okay, Jiang Sheng!"

Wu Qida hung up the phone and called Chen Yu directly.

At this time, Chen Yu had just transferred the international check for overseas copyrights earned by "The Blind Shaft" into the Xiangjiang account he had just opened.

This account is private.

Overseas copyright transactions can be through individuals or companies.

However, Chen Yu's company does not have an overseas account, so it can only collect money in his own name.

This is in compliance with the Berlin Film Festival's transaction regulations, and the copyright of "The Blind Shaft" can be converted between Chen Yu's company and himself. It is a company that he holds 100% of the shares. Of course, Chen Yu has the final say in everything.

He had already transferred the copyright to his own name. This was of course to avoid the legal risk of mixing domestic company accounts and personal accounts.

$1853 million!

This is the total overseas copyright income of "The Blind Shaft".

He converted 13 US dollars into a check of 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and there was still more than 1 Hong Kong dollars left in cash. For the other 1840 million US dollars, Chen Yu chose to buy stocks. This big A is still incomparable with US stocks. of.

Maotai and Chen Yu are both losing money and are planning to enter the market again after a while; but Apple's current stock price is only 14 yuan, with a market value of 29 billion; while NetEase's stock price is 21 yuan, with a market value of 40 billion, which is actually higher than Apple.

This is of course because just last month, Jobs had a go at it. He sold 5500 million shares of Apple stock. Because his selling caused panic among investors and stockholders, they all sold their stocks. Throw it all away.

As a result, Apple's stock price plummeted, from US$36 per share to US$7.

The other two companies that Chen Yu looked at, Tencent and Google, have not yet been listed.

So this time Chen Yu was smarter and couldn't hang himself from a tree. He bought 840 million Apple shares and 1000 million NetEase shares respectively.

When Wu Qida called, Chen Yu was conducting transactions in the VIP room.

"Okay, then in the early morning of the 25th!"

Chen Yu has finalized the release of "The Blind Shaft" and completed the stock purchase.

"You won't lose money this time, right?"

Chen Yu remembers clearly that NetEase rose sharply from 03 to 04; as for Apple, wouldn't it be a matter of buying it with your eyes closed?

The market value of 29 billion US dollars has soared to 3 trillion, a full increase of 1000 times.

"Next stop, ATV!"

Chen Yu did not go directly to the Asia Television station, but made a phone call to the person in charge of the other party. After agreeing to meet at the Xiangjiang Stadium, Chen Yu took a taxi and went there first.

Anyway, all they need is a signature and Chen Yu giving them a copy of "Conquest".

On the phone, Gao Qunshu and ATV had already negotiated the broadcast fee of HK$500 million.

These days, the Hong Kong dollar is still more valuable than the RMB, equivalent to more than 534 million RMB.

At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yu finally arrived at the venue of the 1:99 concert - Xiangjiang Stadium, a stadium that can accommodate 4 people.

In fact, Mei Yanfang initially chose Hung Hom as the venue for the concert.

But Hung Hom was not approved. They were still worried about the recurrence of the epidemic, so they chose this place out of desperation.

"OK!"

"This is the momentum!"

"We have to have fun!"

As soon as Chen Yu walked into the infield of the stadium, he heard that familiar voice; the stars that he looked up to in his previous life were all wearing the costumes of the 1:99 concert, either discussing or rehearsing there. He looked very busy.

A figure with short blond hair was directing and clapping his hands. He seemed to be in good spirits, but he could not hide his exhaustion.

People who don't know will never believe that Mei Yanfang in front of them is actually terminally ill.

"Miss Mei!"

Chen Yu stepped forward to say hello, and Mei Yanfang was stunned for a moment. It wasn't until she saw Chen Yu taking off his mask that she couldn't help but laugh: "Yuzai? Why are you here?"

"Come and see you!"

"It's hard to see that SARS in Hong Kong is coming to an end!"

"You think it's over too, right?"

Mei Yanfang laughed and hugged Chen Yu tightly. She didn't look sick at all. Her condition is surprisingly good.

Perhaps, as countless fans who loved her later said, she was born for the stage.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Mei Yanfang suddenly clapped her hands, and then pointed at Chen Yu: "Hey, let me introduce to you the friends I met in the mainland, Chen Yu, Yu Zai, the Berlin Best Actor!"

"Wow, I know him!"

"I know him too!"

"Is "House of Flying Daggers" going to be filmed with Andy Lau?"

"..."

Suddenly, many people cast curious glances at Chen Yu, and Chen Yu instantly felt flattered.

There are too many big guys around here.

Nicholas Tse, Tan Yonglin, the Four Heavenly Kings... all the stars that Xiangjiang can name are basically here at the moment, except Zhou Xingchi!

Even Zhang Guorong was among these people. He seemed to be in good spirits, with a smile on his face, and he was also quite dedicated.

"Hey, do you want to sing a song together on stage tomorrow?"

Mei Yanfang said to Chen Yu, and Chen Yu quickly waved his hand: "I'll forget it, I just make a donation!"

He is not from Xiangjiang, and he is not well-known in Xiangjiang.

Mei Yanfang probably just said it casually, so she didn't force it and said with a smile: "Donate more!"

"must!"

"Is 100 million Hong Kong dollars enough?"

"Wow, is it true?"

Mei Yanfang thought Chen Yu was joking, but Chen Yu took out a check directly from his arms: "Of course it's true, I prepared it before I came!"

"Did you know we were doing this concert?"

Mei Yanfang didn't tell Chen Yu at all.

"I know, I saw it on the news!"

"Pay so much attention to me!"

Mei Yanfang joked, looked at the check in Chen Yu's hand, and shook her head: "You don't need so many!"

"Just show me a little love!"

"or--"

"Miss Mei!"

Chen Yu pulled Mei Yanfang aside: "Actually, I came here to see you for something!"

"Say!"

Mei Yanfang raised her eyebrows, and Chen Yu talked about the release of "The Blind Shaft" tomorrow night: "If you don't accept the 100 million, I plan to donate 5% of the box office to the conference foundation. How about it?"

"Will it be released tomorrow night?"

Mei Yanfang somewhat saw through Chen Yu's intentions: "This is a good thing. In addition to raising donations, we are holding this concert to hope that citizens will come out of their homes!"

"I understand. I will make an appeal at the end of tomorrow. Do you really want to give 5% of the box office?"

"Well, keep your word!"

Chen Yu really has this idea.

"Then I would like to thank you on behalf of the organizer of the conference. I am very considerate!"

Not everyone is willing to do this.

Although Mei Yanfang knew that Chen Yu was using this concert for promotion, no one knew how many people would be willing to walk into the cinema after the concert tomorrow.

Although, all the more than 4 tickets at the venue have been sold out.

All ticket sales will be donated to the conference fund.

"Anyway, look at the box office. If the 5% of the box office share is less than 100 million, I will donate this check. If it is, then I will keep it!"

"In a moment, I'll draft a contract!"

Seeing Chen Yu's seriousness, Mei Yanfang smiled: "Yuzai, on behalf of the citizens of Xiangjiang who need help, thank you!"

"No, actually I feel embarrassed!"

"No!"

Mei Yanfang suddenly said seriously: "The recovery of theaters is also very important. Only the recovery of the entertainment industry can allow citizens to integrate into society as soon as possible. Even without your donation, we will call on citizens to go out!"

"If the box office is really a hit by then, it will be a good thing for Hong Kong!"

"do you understand?"

"If you don't do it, someone else will."

"You were the only one who came up with this idea, and it helped us raise more funds. If the impact of this incident is far-reaching enough, the business community should also donate more funds..."

This is what Mei Yanfang hopes to see.

"I understand!"

Chen Yu understood Mei Yanfang's painstaking efforts.

"So don't feel any burden!"

"If you succeed, I believe that movie theaters will return to their former busyness, and other film manufacturers will be willing to release new films!"

"I'll discuss it with the others and see how this happens!"

Mei Yanfang said and walked in the other direction, while Chen Yu's cell phone in his trouser pocket had been ringing for a long time.

ATV's marketing specialist in charge of signing contracts has arrived.

Chen Yu quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed the other party's number.

After a while, a beautiful figure appeared in Chen Yu's sight.
