I really didn’t want to be a warm man when I was reborn

As soon as Li Zhe reached the second floor, he met Shen Xin walking out of the bedroom holding a laptop.

"Husband, what are you going to do?" Shen Xin asked.

"The phone is out of battery, I'm going to charge it."

Li Zhe looked at Shen Xinyi, who was wearing a light blue double-breasted skirt, and his heart moved.

"My dear, come with me!"

The two went to the master bedroom on the third floor together.

Downstairs living room.

The movie is over.

Zhou Ziyu also left forever.

Liu Kaiyue glanced at Xiao Qiao, who was asleep on the sofa, picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, then got up and went upstairs.

…

"Husband, no!"

Xiao Qiao didn't know what he was dreaming about, so he screamed and woke up.

What about people? Where have they gone?

She looked around and found that no one was there and the TV was turned off.

I checked the time again, it was a little past 3 in the morning.

In other words, she slept for less than an hour.

We agreed that everyone would stay up late together, how could they do this?

She stood up angrily and went upstairs.

…

That night, Li Zhe, Shen Xinyi, Zhou Ziyu, Liu Kaiyue, and Xiao Qiao stayed together in the bedroom.

At around 4 o'clock in the morning, Shen Xinyi and Liu Kaiyue were sleepy and tired. They couldn't stand it any longer and fell asleep one after another.

Only Li Zhe, Xiao Qiao, and Zhou Ziyu were left to persist.

Xiao Qiao and Zhou Ziyu were also very sleepy, but they were competing with each other, one on the left and one on the right in Li Zhe's arms, neither of them willing to sleep first.

It seems like whoever falls asleep first loses.

It wasn't until after 6 o'clock in the morning, when the sky became brighter and the New Year's Eve watch was over, that they slept together with Li Zhe.

When Li Zhe woke up again, it was already 3 p.m.

Xiao Qiao, Zhou Ziyu, Liu Kaiyue, and Shen Xinyi were all gone.

He got up and left the room, went downstairs to the living room.

In the living room, Xiao Qiao, Zhou Ziyu, Liu Kaiyue, and Shen Xinyi were all there. When they saw Li Zhe coming down, they all looked at him.

Li Zhe came to them, sat down on the sofa, and yawned.

"Husband, you don't seem to be in good spirits!" Xiao Qiao said with a smile.

Li Zhe glanced at her, then at Zhou Ziyu, Liu Kaiyue and Shen Xinyi. They all seemed to be in good spirits after staying up all night.

At this time, Zhou Qing came out of the kitchen. When she saw Li Zhe, a smile immediately appeared on her face, "Xiao Zhe, you're awake!"

"I made chicken soup. You can drink some."

"Thank you, Auntie!" Li Zhe said with a smile.

Why did he bring Zhou Qing with him?

The benefits of having a good mother-in-law are revealed at this time.

Li Zhe and the others stayed in the villa until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, two bodyguards, Liu Jie and Lu Yingqi, drove. Li Zhe, Xiao Qiao, Zhou Ziyu, Liu Kaiyue, Shen Xinyi and Zhou Qing went to the city for a walk and watched a movie.

"Crazy Lottery" is released today.

After "Uncanny" became a box office hit, Xu Zheng, as a director, became famous in the industry.

Even "Crazy Lottery" starring him was even more favored by the industry, and theaters took the initiative to increase their film schedules.

Li Zhe and his group of eight walked into the theater and found that the movie's attendance rate was very good, with 60 to 70% attendance.

In fact, the high attendance rate of "Crazy Lottery" is largely due to the popularity of the Crazy Series.

When viewers see the movie titles, they will think of "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Race".

"Crazy Stone", released in 2006, invested 3 million yuan in exchange for a box office of 23.5 million yuan.

"Crazy Racer", which was released on January 20, exceeded 8.2 million at the box office on the first day, 23 million at the box office in the first six days, and the current box office has exceeded 30 million.

And the two movies in the Crazy series have excellent reputations.

"Crazy Lottery" actually has nothing to do with the Crazy series. In order to prevent infringement, the crew also took the initiative to clarify, but many viewers still don't know.

Even if they know it, many people are interested in watching it when they see the name of the movie.

Directors Yang Qing and Xu Zheng wanted to change the film's title to "Nightclub", but they were reluctant to take advantage of the popularity for fear of causing controversy and disputes, which would affect their reputation.

But as an investor, Li Zhe has different considerations. As long as he can gain popularity, it doesn't matter if it causes some controversies and disputes.

The most important thing is to file a lawsuit and get high box office.

As his net worth gets higher and higher, his thoughts gradually move closer to capital.

In Hongcheng, Luan Xiaolin was also watching a movie in the screening room of a movie theater.

She wore a mask and sunglasses to cover herself up.

Looking at herself (Tang Xiaolian) on the big screen, Luan Xiaolin felt a strange feeling in her heart.

She also watched "The Stranger" when it was released, but she didn't feel the same way, because in "The Stranger" she was only a supporting role, but this time she is the heroine.

Luan Xiaolin felt indescribably happy when she heard the audience whispering that the heroine was beautiful and her acting was pretty good.

The movie has a high attendance rate and a good reputation. She feels that it is likely to become popular.

When people are happy, they want to find someone to share it with.

Luan Xiaolin took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Li Zhe.

"Husband, "Crazy Lottery" is released, and I'm in the cinema."

Soon, Li Zhe received a message back.

"I was in the cinema too, and you did a good job."

Looking at Tang Xiaolian on the big screen, Li Zhe felt that Luan Xiaolin's performance was indeed good, no worse than that of Little Elk in the original version.

Moreover, she is even more beautiful.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Zhe and his party finished their vacation and returned to Shanghai from Sanya.

After returning to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, more than 10 days passed in the blink of an eye.

After the Lantern Festival, colleges and universities started to reopen one after another, and Xiao Qiao, Zhou Ziyu, Liu Kaiyue, and Shen Xinyi all returned to school to report.

On the morning of February 18, Li Zhe came to the company as usual and sat down behind his desk. He first looked at the box office statistics sent by Quku Entertainment.

"Crazy Lottery" took in 4.8 million at the box office on its first day of release, and 10.3 million in the first three days.

The box office exceeded 10 million within three days of release. This result caused a sensation in the industry.

After all, the investment in this movie is extremely low, and the cost of production, promotion and distribution is less than 3 million.

The money was paid back in three days at the box office, and the rest of the money was earned.

Known as "Crazy Stone", it is another box office dark horse of a small-budget comedy.

"Crazy Racing" has a higher box office, and now the box office has exceeded 80 million. However, the investment for this movie is also high, with production and publicity costs of more than 20 million. In terms of return on investment, it is far less than "Crazy Lottery".

New director Yang Qing became famous in one play.

However, the movie has also been controversial, with many people accusing "Crazy Lottery" of taking advantage of the popularity of the "Crazy Lottery" series.

As a result, director Yang Qing also had a estrangement from Quku Entertainment.

Li Zhe didn't pay much attention to this.

Yang Qing is not a prolific director, and his next film "Hot Pot Hero" will have to wait until five or six years.

Moreover, these are the only two works he can produce.

"Crazy Lottery" has been in theaters for 13 days so far, and the box office has exceeded 30 million.

The total box office is expected to be between 50 and 60 million.

The two movies invested by Quku Entertainment, "Uncanny" and "Crazy Lottery", were hits in succession during the Spring Festival, which also completely opened up Quku Entertainment's popularity in the industry.

Li Zhe calculated that the total revenue of "Uncanny Realm" was five to six million, while the total revenue of "Crazy Lottery" was at least thirty million.

He plans to use all the money he earns to invest in new movies.

Putting down the box office statistics, Li Zhe took out a USB flash drive and plugged it into the computer, then clicked on a folder in the USB flash drive.

There are four script outlines in the folder.

"The Witch", "Puberty", "Escape from the Shark Sea", "20 Again".

During the Chinese New Year vacation, Li Zhe not only had fun with Xiao Qiao, Zhou Ziyu, Liu Kaiyue, and Shen Xinyi, but also took the time to write four movie script outlines.

These four movies, among which "Adolescence", "Escape from the Shark Sea" and "20 Again" are all low-budget movies.

"Adolescence" is Zhao Yuhuan's famous work, and there are many references to the South Korean movie "Color is Empty". Li Zhe is also planning to star Zhao Yuhuan.

"Escape from the Shark Sea" is a thriller and horror film. It mainly tells the story of four girls who went to explore a place in the sea and got lost. Two sharks happened to come in.

The four girls started their escape.

The selling point of this movie is the four beautiful heroines.

Li Zhe plans to let Luan Xiaolin, Wang Zhining, Zhao Yuhuan and Nini play together.

The original version of "20 Again" is a remake of the South Korean movie "Weird Girl".

In this movie, Li Zhe plans to star Wang Zhining.

Her appearance is so good, it would be a waste to sign her without praising her.

As for the last movie "The Witch", the original version is also a South Korean movie.

Li Zhe is not willing to "learn" from domestic movies. There are not many good domestic movies, so it is better not to overly seize other people's opportunities.

Even for "Oldboy" and "Crazy Lottery" he tried to use the original cast.

However, "borrowing" from South Korean and foreign films does not matter.

Li Zhe promised to tailor-make a movie for Luan Xiaolin, and this "The Witch" is very suitable. She will definitely become popular if she plays it well.

This is a super heroine movie.

It tells the story of an accident at a secret base where human experiments are conducted. The girl Xiao Yun managed to escape and was adopted by a couple.

Ten years have passed, and Xiaoyun has grown into a high school student.

In order to help the family make a living, Xiao Yun participated in a talent show and wanted to get a bonus. However, after the show was broadcast, many unknown people came to the door.

…

The special effects and fights in the movie are super exciting, and the heroine is more powerful than the widowed sister in "Super Body".

Xiaoyun, who is sinister and extremely intelligent, pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger, but everything is under control.

Film special effects and big fight scenes are the most expensive to make. To make the movie "The Witch" successfully, it costs 30 to 40 million, and with the promotion and distribution, it costs almost 50 million.

For an investment of 50 million, the box office would need to be at least 150 million to recover the cost.

With the current domestic box office scale, it is not easy to get a box office of more than 100 million.

The risk for Quku Entertainment to invest alone is a bit high, so it is necessary to find more companies to participate in investment and share the risks.

Also, for the fighting scenes, Quku Entertainment has no experience in filming.

If you want your fighting scenes to be successful, you must find an experienced martial arts team from Hong Kong Island or South Korea.

With this in mind, Li Zhe picked up the landline and was about to call Liu Kaiyue and ask her to come in.

However, the next moment he realized that his long-legged secretary was back at school and not at the company.

Li Zhe was used to having Liu Kaiyue around, but she suddenly left. Li Zhe was really a little uncomfortable with it.

Fortunately, she came back in two days.

Valentine's Day will be in two days, and Xiao Qiao, Liu Kaiyue, and Shen Xinyi will all come back to spend the holiday with him.

How to spend Valentine's Day for five people...no, six people is also a headache.

It's a bit tiring to have one against many.

Li Zhe turned to Wu Nan and called her in.

"Mr. Li, are you looking for me?" Wu Nan knocked on the door and walked in.

Li Zhe unplugged the USB drive from the computer and handed it to her.

"There are four script outlines here. You print them out in two copies, send one back and send one to Qudong Studio."

"By the way, you give Manager Jiang another call and ask her to come over."

The four movie scripts are currently only outlines of two to three thousand words, and they still need to be refined into detailed scripts by the writing team of Qudong Studio.

Seeing Wu Nan go out with the USB flash drive, Li Zhe shook his head lightly.

This temporary secretary is still not as handy as Liu Kaiyue.

After Wu Nan printed out the script and sent it back, Jiang Jingxian, the operations director and deputy manager of Quku Entertainment, arrived soon after.

"Mr. Jiang, take a seat!"

Li Zhe asked Jiang Jingxian to sit down on the sofa, picked up the script outline on the table and handed it to her.

"Is this the company's new film project?"

Jiang Jingxian took over the script outline,

"Yes!" Li Zhe nodded.

"The three low-budget films "Puberty", "Escape" and "20 Again" are still solely produced by the company. The film "The Witch" has a relatively large investment, so we need to find several more companies to participate in the investment and share the risks. ”

In fact, in the film and television industry, in order to share risks, multi-company joint ventures are the mainstream, and sole proprietorships are rare.

After listening to this, Jiang Jingxian said: "Both the film projects "Uncanny" and "Crazy Lottery" have made money. It is not difficult for us to attract investment."

She also didn't expect that Li Zhe had such a good vision. Both of the film projects he led were profitable, and "Crazy Lottery" was even more profitable.

This has made many companies in the industry jealous, hoping to participate in Quku Entertainment's new movie.

After talking about the new movie project, Li Zhe asked again about the progress of the two projects "Oldboy" and "A Smile Is Alluring".

"Oldboy" started shooting in early December last year. It took more than two months to shoot and just finished shooting two days ago.

The crew for "A Smile Is Charming" only started after filming "The Heirs". The director is still Liu Junjie, and filming is expected to start early next month.

In the afternoon, Li Zhe left the company and returned home to find Zhou Ziyu here.
