Rebirth 96: Begin the life of a monster from kindergarten

In mid-August, Zhang and his team went to Beijing to attend the celebration banquet organized by Happy Twist. In order to fulfill the agreement he had made with Sa Bei, they also went to record "The First Lesson of the School Year".

The summer movie season is coming to an end. Including many movies such as "Charlotte's Troubles" and "Old Boy", the domestic box office for the entire summer vacation has accumulated nearly 30 billion RMB. The box office for a single period is close to half of last year's full-year box office data. The huge increase has excited industry insiders, and the film market is showing a sense of prosperity.

As an industry benchmark, Dream Entertainment has naturally attracted many practitioners to follow suit. The famous Inception screenwriting department alone has led many film and television companies to follow suit. An obvious change is that in recent years, major film and television companies have also paid more attention to the importance of screenwriters, and the treatment of screenwriters in the industry has been significantly improved.

As an in-depth participant in the film market, Zhang Yixing clearly feels that with more and more capital entering the market, today's film market seems to be getting more and more competitive. The movie breeding effect of later generations has appeared in advance, and there are continuous movies with both good reputation and box office emerging, stepping on the corpses of many shoddy movies. There are even some movies and new directors that have never appeared in the previous life.

On the way to Beijing, Zhang Yihang received a call from Han Han. On the phone, Han Han told Zhang Yihang that he planned to officially enter the film industry.

It seems that the explosive growth of the film market has finally made him unable to sit still.

"Have you decided what your first movie will be?"

"The Triple Door!"

Zhang Yixing was stunned. He didn't expect that Han Han would enter the film market with this famous work.

But if you think about it, it is normal. After all, as Han Han's famous work, "Triple Door" has many readers and fans. It is already a very appealing IP. Coupled with the appeal of Han Han's personal IP over the years, this movie will be favored by many investors just relying on the fan economy.

What makes Zhang Yixing feel emotional is that since his rebirth, he can be said to have completely replicated the development trajectory of Han Han and Huo Xiaosi (Guo) in his previous life, starting with literature, building an IP library and accumulating personal influence, and then entering the film and television industry.

Now, it is Han Han who is replicating his development path.

Speaking of which, among the series of films shot by Han Han, it is his racing-themed films that are most eye-catching. As the only director who is both a writer and a racing driver, the "Speeding Life" series of films is known as the Chinese version of "Fast and Furious".

"I plan to hold a press conference in Shanghai next month to launch Tingdong Pictures. I'm calling you because I hope you can come and show your support. Of course, you'd better bring cash. I've reserved a position for you as a shareholder of Tingdong Pictures!"

"Do I need cash to invest? Do you know that my face can be used as cash?"

"...I find that you are much more thick-skinned than Xiao Si. Oh, I miss him a little bit!"

Joking all the way, Zhang and his party arrived at Happy Twist Entertainment Company. Shen Teng, Ma Li and the team came to greet them. It can be seen that everyone is in a very high spirits. After all, the successful start of "Charlotte's Troubles" can be said to have pointed out a new smooth path for them.

As the best partners in the future film market, Shen Teng and Ma Li don’t know yet that their journey to become the top male and female protagonists in the film industry has begun. With their good audience appeal, the two will dominate the future film market.

Especially Shen Teng, because of his super strong box office appeal, the term "Teng content" even appeared in the film industry - as long as the "Teng content" of a movie is high, the box office will definitely not be too bad!
Looking at the dark circles under the eyes of Shen Teng and Ma Li, Zhang Yixing wondered, "The movie has been taken off the screen, you guys can't rest well, right? Why, you're so happy that you can't sleep?"

Shen Teng shook his head and said, "How could that be? Aren't you preparing for the Spring Festival Gala? You've been busy with this recently!"

Ma Li said, "Teacher Zhang, we are rehearsing a skit called 'Today's Happiness', which is inspired by 'Charlotte's Troubles' and is also about time travel. After the celebration banquet, we will submit it to the Spring Festival Gala program team for review. Since you are here, you can give us some guidance."

Today's happiness? Hao Jian!
As for Shen Teng's famous work in his previous life, which had been "very cheap" for many years, Zhang Yixing had naturally read it.

It's just guidance!

Zhang Yixing waved his hands and said: "In terms of professionalism in comedy, your Happy Twist team is the leader in the industry. The programs you put out will definitely not be bad. I think it's okay, but I can't say I can give you any guidance!" Hearing Zhang Yixing's praise, everyone in Happy Twist felt relieved, especially Peng Damu and others. As directors and screenwriters in the Happy Twist team, they were also very confident in their creative abilities.

After learning about the process of the celebration banquet and watching Shen Teng, Ma Li and Da Shachun's skit "Today's Happiness", Zhang and his party returned to their residence and went to the CCTV building in the afternoon.

Sa Beining had been waiting in the studio for a long time. Other guests present included Yang Liwei, Li Lianjie, Yu Minhong and child stars such as Wu Lei, Guan Xiaotong and Xu Jiao.

"Brother Yi Xing!"

After seeing Zhang and his group arriving, Guan Xiaotong, who had worked with Zhang and his group before on a show, immediately came forward to greet them. Wu Lei and Xu Jiao hesitated for a moment, then followed Guan Xiaotong to Zhang and his group.

Guan Xiaotong stood beside Zhang Yixing, holding Zhang Yixing's arm and pointing at Wu Lei, saying as if he was complaining: "Brother Yixing, I said I know you, but Wu Lei doesn't believe me!"

Wu Lei glared at Guan Xiaotong angrily and retorted: "I don't disbelieve it!"

Guan Xiaotong snorted and said, "You just don't believe it!"

While the two children were bickering over here, Xu Jiao was watching quietly beside them. Although she was young, she seemed more mature and steady than Guan Xiaotong and the others. When she saw Zhang Yixing's eyes sweeping over, she quickly smiled and greeted them.

Zhang Yixing patted Guan Xiaotong on the head and came to Wu Lei's rescue, saying, "Come on, stop bullying the kid!"

Since the last time we met, this kid seemed to have grown taller, and he was three heads taller than Wu Lei when standing next to him.

Wu Lei is a shy person and cannot compare to Guan Xiaotong's carefreeness. He is almost completely suppressed by Guan Xiaotong's aura!

Guan Xiaotong groaned, "I didn't bully him. He's a boy and I'm a girl. How could I bully him? Wu Lei, tell me, did I bully you?"

Wu Lei looked up at Zhang Yixing and said hesitantly with an innocent look on his face: "No, no, right!?"

Well, never mind, do whatever you want, we are all little friends!

Scratching his head, Wu Lei mustered up the courage to say, "Brother Yihang, Brother Sabei said that I want to be on the same stage with you in this show!"

As he spoke, Wu Lei turned around and looked at Guan Xiaotong with some pride, as if he was somewhat proud of being on the same stage with Zhang Yihang, as if he had won back a game.

Guan Xiaotong wrinkled his nose and glared at Wu Lei, then turned around and walked towards Sa Beining. As he walked, he protested to Wu Lei: "I'm going to ask brother Sa Beining right now. I want to be swapped with Brother Yihang. I want to be on the same stage with Brother Yihang!"

Wu Lei was stunned, tears welled up in his eyes, and he looked up at Zhang Yixing with a look of help.

Zhang Yixing patted his head helplessly and consoled him, "It's okay, the program is already set, she can't change it!"

Wu Lei then breathed a sigh of relief and raised his arm to wipe his eyes with the back of his hand.

Alas, what a child! (End of this chapter)
