The conspicuous bag in China Entertainment Taohuawu

Chapter 127 New Project Establishment

In the Hengdian VIP Building Hotel, all the cast and crew of "The Watcher" gathered together.

Everyone had smiles on their faces, and naturally so did Chen Xinghe.

Chen Xinghe stood up, held the wine glass and said to everyone present: "Everyone, this is the first glass of wine, and I toast to everyone in the crew.

This matter was originally what Liang Guoguan should do, but Chen Xinghe, as the leading actor and investor of the crew, was certainly not overbearing, and everyone raised their glasses to show their respect.

After finishing the drink, Chen Xinghe said again: "Thank you everyone, everyone has a good meal and a good drink."

"it is good!"

"Mr. Chen is grand!"

Chen Xinghe's opening words immediately made the atmosphere on the scene rise, and everyone drank the wine in their hands.

After a glass of wine, everyone became more casual, chatting one after another and eating while chatting. From time to time, you would toast me a glass and I would toast you a glass, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

At the main table, the crew members also came over to toast Chen Xinghe, and he naturally accepted everyone who came.

After drinking for three rounds, Chen Xinghe said to Hou Dabei, the person in charge of the penguin department who came specially to attend the closing banquet: "Mr. Hou, I would like to ask you, penguin, to pay more attention to the next special effects production."

Penguin has its own special effects production company, and its technology is quite good. As an investor in this show, Penguin will naturally have to worry about this aspect.

As for Mr. Hou Dabei, he is the general manager of Penguin's novel industry and one of the producers of the drama "Da Feng".

"No problem, Brother Chen, I will definitely arrange this matter when I get back." Mr. Hou also made sure to go to Chen Xinghe.

"Hahaha, Mr. Hou is such a cheerful person. Come and have a drink with me."

"When Mr. Cao comes, I'll toast you too." Mr. Cao is naturally the person in charge of Xinli Media.

"Come on, Brother Chen, I haven't congratulated you on winning the award before. We won't go home until we get drunk today."

Chen Xinghe was chatting and laughing with the two bosses, and saw Zhou Xing generously taking care of the actors present, chatting with them from time to time, as if he was the lady boss of Xinghe.

The others were also chatting and laughing, letting off the stress of this period of time, and the closing banquet ended at ten o'clock in the evening.

...............

The day after filming wrapped, Chen Xinghe did not leave Hengdian because he wanted to meet someone here, yes, the director of "Life Events" Liu Jiangjiang.

In Chen Xinghe's room at 12 noon, "Mr. Chen, my name is Liu Jiangjiang. I'm really sorry about what happened before. I didn't mean to deceive you." Liu Jiangjiang quickly explained to Chen Xinghe as soon as they met.

Liu Jiangjiang has a relatively honest face and wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, but his face looks a little bad, and his face is full of exhaustion when he speaks.

Chen Xinghe waved his hand and said to him while eating: "Director Liu, don't worry, let's have something to eat."

Liu Jiangjiang looked at the table of delicious food in front of him and swallowed unconsciously. He had been too anxious to eat in the past two days. Seeing that Chen Xinghe ate so deliciously, he was naturally very hungry.

"Stop looking, let's eat first, and then we can continue talking after dinner."

After hearing Chen Xinghe's words, Liu Jiangjiang sat down opposite him and started eating.

When the food was almost done, Chen Xinghe put down his chopsticks and took a napkin to wipe his mouth. He looked up at Liu Jiangjiang and said, "I read the script you wrote, Director Liu, and it's really good."

Liu Jiangjiang quickly chewed the food in his mouth, and then swallowed it, "Mr. Chen, this script took me two and a half years to write. I really don't want my hard work to go to waste."

His tone was very sincere. Although he had hit a lot of walls before, there was still hope of filming it. If Chen Xinghe didn't forgive him for announcing the matter this time, the script would be over.

"Director Liu, I understand how you feel, but..."

Hearing Chen Xinghe's words, Liu Jiangjiang's eyes darkened and he almost pouted. Then he stood up and bowed to him and said, "Mr. Chen, I implore you not to make this matter public because the script is pretty good." Can you come out?"

Chen Xinghe saw that he was almost frightened, so he started talking again, "Director Liu, what are you doing? I didn't say that I would announce this matter. I can even star in your movie."

"Really?" Liu Jiangjiang showed joy instantly.

"Of course it's true, and I will also invest in your movie."

"Is this true?" Liu Jiangjiang said excitedly. Why are you studying classical Chinese? "What did I lie to you for?"

"If you don't give up, Jiang will definitely worship..."

Before you could finish speaking, Chen Xinghe quickly interrupted him, "You can do it, but I also have a condition. I will get 10% of your script plus the director's fee, and the rest will be yours." Is there no problem with Ruoxinghe?"

"No problem, no problem. Originally, I only planned to get 5% of the first movie..." Liu Jiangjiang expressed his inner thoughts again when he was happy.

“………………” It’s a loss, it’s a loss.

After discussing the film investment, the two of them talked about the movie again. Chen Xinghe found that he had indeed prepared a lot in advance. For example, he had already completed the inspection of the filming location and decided on it in Wuhan, and showed it to himself. He took a look at his stunning photos and told himself the scene he wanted to take.

You can hear from his words how much effort he put into this movie. The two also chatted about the filming of the movie. Liu Jiangjiang and Chen Xinghe talked about their respective shooting techniques, and Chen Xinghe also said a few words about himself from time to time. The atmosphere was so unpleasant for a while.

I don’t know how long it took for Chen Shengnan to urge him to catch a plane before ending the chat. Chen Xinghe assured him: "I will arrange the crew when Liu comes back. Basically, it will be ready by the 7th or 8th of next month." Joined the set for filming.”

"I know Mr. Chen, I'm waiting for your good news."

…………

When returning to Beijing, Chen Xinghe went back by himself. Zhou Xing and Chen Xinghe went back to Chongqing separately early in the morning.

After getting off the plane, Chen Xinghe went home and had a good night's rest. No matter how good the hotel conditions were, it was not as comfortable as staying at home.

The next morning, Chen Xinghe came to the studio refreshed and happened to meet Zhao Ting who was coming to work in the elevator.

As soon as she saw Chen Xinghe, Zhao Ting started joking at him, "Hey, the best actor is back."

Chen Xinghe smiled and quickly greeted Zhao Ting, "Long time no see, Sister Ting."

Since Chen Xinghe left Beijing in early August, and now on November 11th, the two of them have not seen each other for nearly four months, so there is nothing wrong with that.

"You have grown up so much. If you were so busy last year, you would have complained to me by now." Zhao Ting happily hugged Chen Xinghe and said to him.

At this time, the elevator reached the fifth floor. The two of them were walking, and Chen Xinghe said to Zhao Ting beside him.

"Hey, don't you understand this? By the way, are Li Jia and the others here?"

"No. After returning to Beijing yesterday, Li Jiahe went to Xinli's editing room to work with the editor on post-editing."

Chen Xinghe nodded after listening.

In addition to Chen Xinghe's salary increase and capital investment, the filming cost of "The Watcher" is 1.4 million. It doesn't seem very high, but you must know that this TV series only has 36 episodes, excluding the more than 2000 million other actors' salaries. In other words, the pure production cost of each episode is more than 300 million, which is already an absolutely top-notch production.

Such a high production cost requires someone to keep an eye on it during post-production.

Returning to his lounge, Chen Xinghe and Zhao Ting sat on the sofa and continued chatting.

"I'll go to Xinli later to see the post-production situation. Sister Ting, I think our place is still too small. Let's move to a bigger place next year. After all, we will have many projects produced by ourselves in the future. What about editing? Talents such as teachers must be available.”

"No, there is a cable company's office upstairs that is not renewing its lease. Why don't we rent out the seven or eight offices? We can also separate them. For example, the upstairs is for film and television production, and the downstairs is for artist economics."

"Let's rent a few offices first. As for the rest, we can wait until "Da Feng" is produced and the film is sold."

"By the way Xinghe, how did your conversation with that liar go?"

"Director Liu is very talented. I have already promised him to invest in his movie. I was just about to say this. Notify Wang Mengqi and the others and quickly get the crew together. Sister Ting, please remember to sponsor me. Just drink. Water, mobile phone, etc.”

"Leave it to me to do this. Will we bear all the investment?"

"It's not that I plan to allocate some investment to director Guan Hu's company and let him serve as the film's producer. After all, Liu Jiangjiang's first time as a director always needs an experienced person to keep an eye on him."

"Okay, I'm going to take care of these things."
