HPDBC Chapter 203 Be humble and composed
Chapter 203 Be humble and composed
In late December, the cold wind was howling in Beijing, the air was dry and chilly, and it even started to snow lightly.
At this time of year, celebrities in the industry usher in the golden period for boosting their year-end performance.
There were countless commercial performances, variety shows, concerts, and even events for coal mine owners to marry off their daughters.
At Vision Entertainment, apart from "iPartment 2" still being filmed in the studio, Little Fox's "Love is Not Blind" is still in the midst of difficult preparations, and most of the artists under its management are basically idle.
What do you do when you're free? Go out and do commercial performances to make money, of course!
These days, the year-end season is anything but simple, with shopping mall openings and company annual meetings keeping schedules packed.
Actors like Huang Bo and Bao Qiang are now big names, easily earning around 200,000 to 300,000 yuan per appearance.
It's tough, but with a little effort, after a few commercial performances, you can make a down payment on a house in Beijing!
These grassroots people who have worked their way up from the bottom, who would turn down money?
However, while these people were making extra money, they didn't forget their boss, Gu Heng.
At every event, regardless of whether the audience consists of shopping mall aunties or corporate executives, after belting out a song into the microphone, they never forget to give a passionate shout-out to the crowd.
"Everyone should go to the cinema to see Director Gu's 'Source Code' when they have time! It's absolutely fantastic!"
During this period, a minor change also occurred within Vision Entertainment.
Following Ning Hao and Yang Mi, Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang were also "kicked out" by Gu Heng and each established their own personal studios.
Delegating authority and sharing profits makes the boss generous, and the subordinates work harder.
Bao Qiang, in particular, was moved to tears in Gu Heng's office.
Why?
Because the boss not only agreed to let him go out and work on his own, but also specially asked Su Qing to find him an agent with excellent business skills and a clean background!
How could Baoqiang not be moved?
The boss doesn't even care about Brother Bo this much, yet he arranges everything so clearly for him!
This is showing him exclusive favor.
A few days later, the battle for the Lunar New Year film season gradually subsided, and "Let the Bullets Fly" officially ended its run.
The final box office figure was a staggering 6.3 million!
This book was first published on 2009.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.
The title of highest-grossing film in Chinese film history has been directly changed hands!
Uncle Jiang Wen has finally really stood up for himself this time.
They promised to earn money while standing tall, and they actually did it!
Not only did they succeed, they also managed to make a triumphant comeback from the financial losses they incurred with "The Sun Also Rises"!
In an instant, major media outlets were flooded with praise.
Incidentally, Gu Heng's investment acumen was also praised to the skies by the media, who hailed him as a model of getting back up after falling down, full of positive energy!
This made Gu Heng blush slightly when he read the newspaper.
With these box office results, the feud between the Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama has taken on a new chapter.
The Central Academy of Drama reacted very quickly, putting up a big red banner on campus that very day.
"Warmest congratulations to our outstanding alumnus, director Jiang Wen, on his film becoming the highest-grossing film in Chinese film history!"
Goodness, even though Jiang Wen graduated from the performing arts department, and more than twenty years ago...
But let's just say he's not from the Central Academy of Drama!
There's no way around it; the Central Academy of Drama has been severely overshadowed by Beijing Academy of Drama in the past two years.
Starting with the class of 02, Liu Qianqian's class left the Central Academy of Drama far behind, not to mention the class of 05 which produced an unreasonable prodigy like Gu Heng.
Zhang Huijun, the dean of Beijing Film Academy, has been unable to walk properly lately. He spends his days wandering around the entrance of the Central Academy of Drama with his hands behind his back.
His smugness infuriated the leaders of the Central Academy of Drama.
She even started having feelings for Gu Heng.
Your Vision Entertainment is doing so well, the entire crew is made up of people from the Beijing Film Academy!
What about our Central Academy of Drama?
I've gone through your company's entire roster, and only Tang Yan is from the Central Academy of Drama!
Gu Heng, have you forgotten the traditions of the older generation at Beijing Film Academy?
Forget your roots!
As a result, following Wang Jinsong, a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy, who criticized Gu Heng for forgetting his roots, Gu Heng was inexplicably labeled as ungrateful by the Central Academy of Drama.
Also no one.
No matter how noisy the outside world is, it can't affect a person's good mood.
During this period, Uncle Jiang was in high spirits.
He practically treated Gu Heng's courtyard house like his own backyard, and would often bring two bottles of good wine to Gu Heng's courtyard house to complain to him.
"Brother, we did a great job! Those bastards deserved to be taught a lesson long ago!"
The most outrageous thing was that once when Gu Heng went to the kitchen to cut some braised meat, he turned around and saw Jiang Wen sitting alone on a stone bench.
No one spoke to him; he just sat there, holding a teacup and chuckling to himself.
The scene was absolutely terrifying!
Gu Heng's hair stood on end, and he quickly took out his phone to call the producer, Ma Ke.
"Brother Ma, hurry up! Arrange the celebration banquet for 'Let the Bullets Fly' right away! Make it a high-profile affair! If we delay any longer, I'm afraid Uncle Jiang's mental state will suffer a serious problem!"
Don't end up not enjoying the fruits of your labor, but instead having your own rubber band stuck at the Central Academy of Drama.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Heng leaned against a pillar in the corridor, looking at Jiang Wen who was still grinning foolishly in the courtyard, and couldn't help but reflect on his actions.
Never become complacent or arrogant because of temporary success. Be humble and composed...
As he thought about it, Gu Heng's lips couldn't help but curl up into a wide smile, he just couldn't suppress it!
That's 6.3 million in box office revenue!
Vision Entertainment seems to account for a full 40% of this market!
Hehehehehe...
Well, now there's another person grinning foolishly in this courtyard.
