The next afternoon.
Cuihu Yayuan Villa District.
A Red Flag car drove along the lakeside and into the underground garage of a villa.
Chen Xiao and Secretary Liu of Jiahe Diamond walked out of the car, went upstairs from the garage, walked through the first floor hall, pushed open the door and came to the courtyard.
Chen Xiao walked to the door and immediately felt refreshed.
This villa has three floors above ground and one floor underground.
It also has a courtyard in the style of Jiangnan gardens.
On one side of the courtyard is a straight corridor. A winding path winds out from the middle of the straight corridor, spanning the green lake and leading to the main entrance. Chen Xiao exclaimed:"What a beautiful courtyard. I didn't expect that there are Jiangnan-style villas in the capital."
Compared to the symmetrical courtyard design, he prefers this Jiangnan style that blends with nature, which is more artistic.
Secretary Liu smiled and said,"Mr. Zhang knows that Director Chen likes this style, so he specifically mentioned it to the chairman. I heard that in the entire capital, only this villa area has a Jiangnan-style courtyard for sale"
"Thank you Uncle Zhang, please help me think about this while taking care of the work of the deputy general manager."
Secretary Liu scratched his head,"Director Chen, I have good news for you, General Manager Zhang has been promoted and is now the president."
He is also the president's secretary, hehe.
Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said,"Congratulations, I will call Uncle Zhang to congratulate him later."
Secretary Liu chatted with him for a few more words about the company, then looked back at the villa.
"Director Chen, we just came out of the first floor. As you can see, this place has not been decorated yet. Mr. Zhang thinks that your aesthetic taste is quite high, and the company may not be able to decorate it, so they didn't do it. However, the fee has been paid to you in the form of a year-end bonus."
Chen Xiao nodded and smiled,"Well, I will decorate it myself."
The company is indeed thoughtful. If you live by yourself, of course you have to decorate it according to your own style.
I just happened to be on vacation recently, so I designed the style before the New Year and renovated it after the New Year.
I guess I can move in after shooting another movie.
"Considering that it will take time to renovate a house, the company has found you a temporary residence for the next year. It is a villa that has been decorated nearby, just a 5-minute walk away, and you can live there for a year."
Chen Xiao pursed his lips.
Your year-end bonus is quite generous.
Who is responsible for this? How can you think so carefully?
And this villa in the second ring road plus the decoration money is probably equivalent to the diamond income of the past quarter. Where did the diamonds go?
Why is the company so generous ?
Chen Xiao asked:"Secretary Liu, I heard from Uncle Zhang that the company is going overseas. What is the specific situation?"
"The F country and Asian markets are both open. The chairman said that if he didn't give you a huge year-end bonus, he would feel uneasy when he looked at the financial report."
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows.
The Asian market and the F country market are both open, which is better than he expected.
In this case, he can accept the house with peace of mind. He will go to handle the formalities in the afternoon.
He was about to walk into the house to take a look at the four-story structure.
Suddenly, his cell phone rang.
He picked up the phone and saw that the caller was Director Li's secretary
"Wait a moment."
Chen Xiao said hello to Secretary Liu, walked to the booth nearby, and answered the phone.
"Good afternoon, Secretary He.
"Hello, Director Chen, the premiere time of Farewell My Concubine has been confirmed. It will be broadcast on the movie channel at 8 pm on January 31st. It will be rebroadcast on February 1st, and then suspended until after the New Year. But it will be launched on all network platforms on the 2nd."
So fast?
I finished watching it last night, and the broadcast time is confirmed today?
The system hasn't prompted yet, so the movie hasn't been reviewed yet, right?
Chen Xiao asked:"Secretary He, how come it was confirmed so quickly, has the movie been reviewed?"
"Not yet, but don't worry. We checked it yesterday. There is no way there will be any problem with the review by the subordinate agency, but it needs to go through the process, probably today or tomorrow."
"OK, thank you!"
He was not worried about the review, but just wanted to know when the system would refresh the task.
It seems to be today or tomorrow.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiao and Secretary Liu walked into the villa to visit the apartment.
At the same time, the Ministry of Culture, the Movie Channel, the Opera Channel and other official departments also announced online that"Farewell My Concubine" will be broadcast on the Movie Channel at 8 pm on January 31.
After last night's warm-up, the news went straight to the top of the entertainment list.
The Sixth Princess' Weibo was full of cheers.
"Damn! I love the Sixth Princess!"
"Princess Six is awesome! If you were asked to broadcast it during the Spring Festival, you should try to broadcast it a week earlier! Love youヾ(≧▽≦*)o"
"Yu Ji and Xiang Yu, it must be a romance movie, like Titanic. I want to go to the hotel with my girlfriend to watch it!"
……
All major media, even some official media, reposted the news, and the news was widely publicized.
Twenty minutes later, in the capital, in the headquarters building of Youyue Film and Television, the third largest film and television company in the country, in the 21st floor conference room, the vice president of Youyue Entertainment sat at one end of the long table, flipping through the documents in his hands, occasionally looking up at the two people who were arguing.
"The time must be changed! It must be changed to after the holiday."
Minister Zheng of the Market Research Department pointed to the document in his hand and said anxiously,"It will collide with"Farewell My Concubine", and our box office may plummet!"
Minister Wu of the Production Department waved his hand,"Oh, Minister Zheng,"Farewell My Concubine" is using the reputation of the Ministry of Culture and Chen Xiao, and many fans of Titanic are making a fuss, so it has caused a splash on the Internet. Aren't you too nervous?"
Minister Zheng was already anxious. His own movie was only 7 days away from release. If it had to be postponed, the time would be extremely tight.
Now hearing his contemptuous tone, a fire suddenly ignited in his heart.
He stood up suddenly, slapped the table and said:
"You also know that it was the Ministry of Culture and Chen Xiao! They officially promoted him as a Cannes-winning director, what's wrong with you? I've been doing market research for more than 20 years, and you're arguing with me?!"
Director Wu of the production department didn't look too good either, and snorted coldly,"We've already set the release date, you……"
"okay,���"Say less."
The vice president threw the document on the table, interrupting the two.
He snorted coldly and looked at the two ministers.
How old are they, and they almost quarreled in the conference room. What kind of talk is that?
He looked at Minister Zheng of the Market Research Department,"Old Zheng, you called us here, you speak first. Why do you insist on postponing the release?"
Their"Zhan Xian Yuan" is a fairy-tale love movie.
Love is tragic.
In order to avoid being criticized by the public for being released during the Spring Festival, they deliberately moved it up a week and intensified the publicity.
This has many advantages.
First of all, it is still released during the Spring Festival holiday, but it will not be criticized by the audience for being unlucky. Because it is not the Spring Festival period. The audience comes to watch it voluntarily.
Second, students have just had their winter vacation, and some young people are shopping for New Year's goods.
Releasing it a week in advance can target young couples who have not yet returned to their respective homes, as well as young people who are shopping.
Third, there are almost no movies released at this time, so it is a vacancy.
Taking these advantages into consideration, the company scheduled this fairy-tale love movie for January 29th at the end of last year.
It is already the 22nd, and there are only 7 days left. It will cost a lot to change the release date.
Minister Zheng took a deep breath, sat back in his seat, suppressed his anger and explained:"I am sure you two have heard of"Farewell My Concubine", right?"
The other two nodded.
Minister Zheng pointed to the materials in his hand and continued:
"I won't introduce it in detail, I'll just tell you the reason."
"First, popularity and fan base. The popularity of this movie on the Internet has surpassed ours. Titanic has a huge fan base, and many people have high expectations for Chen Xiao's new film."
"Second, it was shown on CCTV, and it was shown for free on the entire Internet from the beginning of February. It’s free! Can our fees compare?"
"Third, and most importantly, think about it, why didn’t they release it during the Spring Festival?"
"Can't they squeeze into the Spring Festival period? Of course they can!"
"It's obviously possible to get in, so why is it released before the Spring Festival?"
Minister Zheng glanced at the two people who were thinking, paused for a while, and slowly spoke, continuing:
"This movie is called"Farewell My Concubine". The reason why it was released before the Spring Festival is definitely because it is a tragedy!"
"It completely contradicts our ideas."
"So, we have to reschedule!"
