China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

On the first day of the Year of the Rat in 2008, Lu Ping'an rarely stayed in bed until noon.

It wasn't until my uncle called me for the Nth time that I got up and went to my uncle's house for dinner.

There is nothing special about the morning of New Year's Day.

Only news came from Berlin every few hours.

And most of them are chubby.

This time Fan Xiaopang has prepared five sets of dresses, which will be unveiled throughout the 11 days of the Berlin Film Festival.

The total price of the five sets of dresses is close to 4 million yuan.

There is a reason for high prices.

It is said that the first dress has now been worn, and it immediately attracted the attention of the fashion world.

That's the effect.

Show off your figure, temperament, facial features, etc. through red carpet shows to gain access to top fashion resources that are hard to come by.

At the same time, the benefits that escape can also affect many things.

For example, Hu Qingquan called with a smile and said that once Fan Xiaopang appeared, the price of "Buried Alive" increased a bit. Unfortunately, Fan Xiaopang did not show his face in "Buried Alive", so the film producers could only rejoice.

However, "Rouge Snow" can still receive actual profits. Those film studios who wanted to buy "Rouge Snow" in the past mostly did it for the sake of the safety of Xingchen Road.

But now that I have seen with my own eyes such a beauty that spans Eastern and Western aesthetics, Fan Xiaopang's proportion in the quotation will naturally increase.

Speaking of which, this kind of thing is actually "selling" to put it bluntly.

As a capital side, it is really easy to make money by packaging the actress in a high-end and classy manner, plus the actress's own conditions.

The conditions of the actress herself are indeed important.

It's no wonder that Fan Xiaopang is a "killing" existence.

As soon as you go out and package it a little better, you can make money quickly.

Well, like myself.

In the beginning, I won high-end endorsements based on my face.

In the afternoon, when Lu Pingan returned to the courtyard, he saw Yan Danchen.

Lu Ping'an: "Why are you back?"

Yan Danchen: "Come back so soon?"

The two of them spoke at the same time, and then laughed sweetly together.

Needless to say, after Yan Danchen saw the news yesterday, although she was comforted by Lu Ping'an not to come back, she still came back early.

Still a big wife who loves people.

Lu Ping'an immediately called other women while going to the toilet.

After confirming that they didn't come to the capital, Lu Ping'an didn't feel relieved and took Yan Danchen directly back to her villa.

Then on the afternoon and evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the two of them stayed at home, and no one could disturb them.

On the second day of the new year, Lu Ping'an spent the entire day visiting leaders, elders, and the like.

Everyone also knows that Lu Ping'an will officially participate in the Olympics starting from the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, so they will stay for a short time until they feel like it, and then let him go elsewhere.

In the evening, Lu Pingan took Yan Danchen to the central city business district of Stars: Impression City.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the shopping mall was closed, and the management originally thought that the customer flow would not be very good.

But this year, due to the snowstorm, many people did not go home, and the shopping mall also had discounts and activities, so the flow of people in the shopping mall was not much less than usual, and it was very lively.

It is safer for two people wearing masks.

After shopping for a while, the two went directly to Burger King.

When he arrived at the place, he made a phone call and Li Chenggong came out to welcome Lu Ping'an into the office.

Then soon, two sets of fried chicken and beer sets with various flavors were served in front of them.

Only then did Yan Danchen know that such a successful person as Li Chenggong, the boss of Burger King, actually had a boss above him, and the boss was Lu Ping'an!

"No wonder you treated the rats to Burger King for half a month. I thought you were really not short of money."

"No matter how cheap it is to eat homemade food, it is still more expensive than fast food. After all, chicken is real."

"You can't eat it for half a month. Now I suspect that you did it on purpose!"

"Oh, don't mention the past."

Lu Ping'an smiled and handed her the plastic gloves, "Come, eat our own new products."

"Fried chicken and beer?"

"Well, there are 8 flavors in total. They were just developed. Try them and see which one you like best."

Then the two started eating directly.

good.

Flavors such as sweet and spicy mustard and honey are all very good.

Moreover, chicken is actually delicious no matter how it is cooked, as long as it is not turkey or spoiled or overcooked.

And fried chicken with beer is actually just a gimmick.

Who among Chinese people would really eat like this?

Just like Yan Danchen said: "I have never seen such a match."

The road is safe but he doesn't care.

Maybe that's how South Korea eats it, but overall it's just a gimmick.

At that time, fried chicken and beer will be passable respectively.

Just wait for "Star You" to be released and then go viral, and just sit back and wait to make money.

Of course, "Star You" won't be released for at least half a year.

So before that, Burger King can launch this set meal first to give customers a preconceived impression, and then after "Star You" is broadcast, they can come to Burger King as soon as possible.

At the same time, you can also test at separate points.

It doesn’t have to be beer and fried chicken.

Duoduo will experiment with more Chinese-style combinations, and they can also be replaced in TV series.

After eating fried chicken, Lu Pingan and Li Chenggong went into the office to talk about things.

After so many years of development, Burger King has more than 400 directly owned stores, all of which have store ownership, plus 1,136 franchise stores.

The expansion speed seems very fast, but it can only be said to be quite satisfactory in this industry.

And because of the problem of broiler raw materials, the overall cost is actually still higher than KFC.

It will take 12 years to wait until the domestic white-feather broiler breed breakthrough.

And if you develop it yourself, you don’t have the technology.

Of course, it is not hopeless to keep throwing money away.

It's just that the available funds on Burger King's books currently exceed 1.2 billion, which seems to be a huge number, but it may not be enough for scientific research for a year.

So he couldn't help but think that the reward in "Star You" would be seed source technology.

But this cannot be expected.

After much deliberation, Lu Ping An chose a safer approach.

That is to increase investment in source industries such as the breeding industry, and then gradually get involved in scientific research, and then invest heavily after raising funds from the listing.

The remaining money can also be used to acquire other properties.

Currently, under the leadership of Li Chenggong, Burger King already has its own independent set of upstream and downstream industries.

So you can try to engage in other supporting projects.

For example, if you build a takeout platform, use it for fried chicken restaurants first, and then expand it. The mobile Internet trend will spread in a few years, so it is still possible to light it up on the PC side in advance.

Another example is counterattacking overseas. This is also necessary. After all, "Star You" will not only be broadcast in China.

"That's it. You and Xiang Guoqiang have a good chat about the specifics. Go out and learn more during this period. The situation you will face after listing will not be like what it is now."

"clear!"

Li Chenggong was very happy.

The temptation to go public is great.

The boss was relieved, he was able to get ahead.

After talking about things, they continued to chat about daily life. Lu Ping'an touched Li Chenggong's belly: "How much do you weigh now?"

"92 kilograms."

"1.75 meters and 92 kilograms is too unhealthy. You must lose weight. Money is just a number to you now, and your body is the most important."

"As people get older, they tend to gain weight. I will try my best to exercise in the future."

"It's not a try, it's an order. You don't want your wife to be a widow and your child to recognize someone else as their father, right?"

"Of course I don't want to."

"So your task next year is to reduce your weight to at least 75 kilograms! There is no need to negotiate!"

"I know." Li Chenggong scratched his head. As a big boss, he was still as shy as when he first met Lu Ping'an, showing his shyness without reservation.

After chatting for a while, he said calmly before leaving: "By the way, the protagonist in my movie next year will use your name. Is that okay?"

"Really?!" Li Chenggong was shocked.

"It's not based on you, don't get excited."

"That's also a good thing. When my family saw it, they knew it was me." Li Chenggong was so excited.

But soon Lu Pingan said: "This protagonist will raise a mistress, are you happy with it?"

This was somewhat of a joke. Lu Ping'an was just teasing Li Chenggong, and Li Chenggong was really teasing: "Boss, please spare me. My wife will scratch me to death if she finds out."

"Hahaha, that's okay, but you should also pay attention to yourself and don't mess around with your private life."

"Don't worry, boss."

When he came out of the office and took Yan Danchen away, looking at Yan Danchen, Lu Ping'an felt somewhat ashamed.

Tell others not to mess around, but you are flying colorful flags outside.

But then I thought, I'm not married anyway, right?

Putting this idea behind him, Yan Danchen also asked about Lu Ping'an's past with Burger King, and what role Li Chenggong was.

Lu Pingping informed them one by one.

As for the question of whether Li Chenggong can be trusted, Lu Ping'an only said that he was relieved.

In fact, Burger King's accounts are now managed by a fund under Small Target. Li Chenggong is only on the management side, and the secret recipe has already been sealed by insurance like McDonald's. Even if Li Chenggong is corrupt or becomes a traitor, he will not be able to affect many.

In addition, Lu Ping An also gave a lot, and seeing that it was about to go public, Li Chenggong would not do this as long as he was not stupid.

Yan Danchen seemed to understand, and then quickly complained to Lu Ping'an, saying that he had hidden it deeply and not told her for so many years, causing her to complain countless times in front of outsiders that Burger King was junk food.

Lu Pingan said directly: "Currently, only the five of you, Awen, Baoqiang and you know about this. In the future, you and your children will also have a share here, which is enough for you."

"Tsk, who cares?"

Yan Danchen tilted his head and said he was disgusted, but he was naturally happy in his heart.

Lu Ping'an then asked, "What brand do you prefer to use for makeup?"

"What are you doing, do you want to buy me some cosmetics? I already have a lot of them, so there's no need to buy them."

"Of course not, I want to buy a cosmetics company."

“Buying a cosmetics company?”

"Of course, in addition to cosmetics companies, there are also clothing companies. When the TV series becomes popular, we can't just advertise for others and watch others make a lot of money. Just like our own toy company now, we have industry in our hands. Peace of mind.”

"How much will this cost?"

"Hey, your man, my biggest worry now is that I have too much money and no place to spend it."
