Ma Guoliang and Wu Gong started chatting in the lobby on the first floor.
"Foreign audiences have changed their view of our domestic films now. They are no longer interested in the films we make as before." Ma Guoliang nodded thoughtfully. Wu Gong has been abroad. I would like to use Wu Gong to understand the reactions abroad after the broadcast of "The Truman Show" and "Forrest Gump".
"It wasn't obvious after "The Truman Show" was released, but now you have many fans abroad." Wu Gong said with a smile.
"I still have to thank Mr. Tan, otherwise I wouldn't have had this opportunity."
"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. On the one hand, the quality of Mr. Tan's movies is high, and your acting skills are also very good. You have conquered many foreigners. The two are indispensable." During this time abroad, Mr. Wu You can often hear foreigners discussing Ma Guoliang. Currently, there is only one domestic star who can achieve this level.
"Mr. Tan is here." Wu Gong followed Ma Guoliang's gaze to the elevator entrance. Tan Yue was walking towards the two of them.
"Mr. Tan." Ma Guoliang and Wu Gong greeted at the same time.
"Let's go."
"Okay." The three people sat in a car and headed to Shunli Shanshui Manor. More than an hour later, we arrived at our destination. As soon as the car stopped, we saw Zhang Laike standing at the door to greet us.
"Mr. Tan, Teacher Ma, and Director Wu, welcome to the manor again."
"I feel a bit sorry to have to trouble Boss Zhang to come and greet him personally every time." Tan Yue stretched out his right hand and shook Zhang Laike's hand.
"Mr. Tan, if you say that, you are a bit out of touch. Of course you need to come over to greet your friends when they come." The four people laughed.
Tan Yue had met Zhang Laike several times. Tan Yue had a good impression of him and was willing to make this friend.
"Mr. Tan, let's get in the car."
"Thank you." The four people got on the sightseeing car in the manor one after another. It was summer, and the sightseeing car was not blocked and could see the surrounding scenery.
Zhang Laike said: "I watched "Forrest Gump" three times in the cinema this time. Thinking about it now, I still have endless aftertaste. I will definitely watch it a few more times when it is released on the player."
"Thanks for the support!"
""Forrest Gump" is so good. I haven't seen such a wonderful inspirational movie in a long time, especially Mr. Ma's performance." Zhang Laike extended his thumb and said, "That's a great one!" Ma Guoliang I tend to be quite socially anxious. I can't talk to outsiders when I'm not drinking.
Faced with Zhang Laike's compliment, he just smiled, nodded and said
"Thanks".
"As expected of a professional actor, his current state is completely different from that in the movie." Ma Guoliang said: "Acting is acting, life is life. If life is affected by the role, things can easily go wrong." Tan Yue took over the words: "As a person It is best for professional actors to separate acting and life, otherwise they will easily suffer from mental breakdown." Zhang Laike suddenly remembered an entertainment news he had seen before, where an actor couldn't get out of his role after filming and ended up suffering from depression.
"Awesome." Zhang Laike admired Ma Guoliang even more.
"The scenery here is really good." Every time he comes to Shunli Shanshui Manor, Tan Yue will be attracted by the surrounding scenery. In the urban area, in addition to high-rise buildings, he faces asphalt roads every day.
"That's over there..." Zhang Laike began to introduce the surrounding scenery to Tan Yue and the others. Many of them were newly built in the past year.
More than twenty minutes later, four large restaurants appeared in front of them. Chen Ye called and said that this time he wanted to have a dinner of the highest standard. Zhang Laike directly arranged the Tianzi Hall for the "Forrest Gump" crew.
There are four large luxury halls in the four restaurant buildings, which are divided into Tiandi Xuanhuang. Tianzi Hall is the most luxurious room in Shunli Shanshui Manor. Just booking a private room costs a lot of money.
But no matter how luxurious the restaurant is, it is definitely worthy of the box office performance of "Forrest Gump" in the global movie market.
"Mr. Tan, your dinner party today is arranged upstairs."
"Trouble." Tan Yue heard Chen Ye mention something about this restaurant. It is not just money that can book it. The successful booking of Tianzi Hall is inseparable from Zhang Laike's arrangement.
"It's all trivial, not worth mentioning." As he spoke, the car had stopped downstairs in the restaurant. Zhang Laike said: "Still, call me anytime if you have anything. You guys have fun eating." A few people said a few words briefly, and Zhang Laike left in the sightseeing car.
"While it's still bright, let's appreciate the surrounding environment before going in." After finally coming here, Tan Yue also wanted to relax.
"Okay!" Not only them, most of the employees who arrived at Shunli Shanshui Manor in advance did not enter the hall, but admired the environment of the manor.
Wu Gongdao: "Looking at the area of this lake, it is not small." Ma Guoliang looked at the signboard erected by the lake and briefly summarized its content: "This area has become a nature reserve for birds, because The surrounding vegetation is rich and there are nearly a hundred kinds of wild birds." Many people around were taking pictures with their mobile phones.
.........
"Finally we have arrived at Shunli Shanshui Manor." A group of people took a sightseeing car from the parking lot to the restaurant area.
The leader was Cheng Xingyan, the vice president of Tianjing Entertainment Company. Under his leadership, he went to Beijing to inspect.
"I have often seen videos of this place online before, but today I finally saw it in person. It is even more beautiful than the video."
"Of course, this is the best place in the capital."
"I have to take a few more photos, and I will post them on Douyin when the time comes."
"Fortunately, you reminded me that such a beautiful scenery must be photographed and recorded." Cheng Xingyan listened to the excited voices of everyone behind him, and the smile on his face became stronger.
The mission in Beijing this time is relatively heavy, so all the company's arrangements are of the highest standard.
"Mr. Cheng, please come this way." Under the arrangement of the staff, they came to the front desk. The secretary asked: "Are there any good private rooms now?" The waiter had a professional fake smile on his face and said: "We have four best halls here, namely Tiandi Xuanhuang."
"What are the differences between these four halls?"
"Among them, the Tianzi Hall is the most luxurious and grand, and is more suitable for gatherings when there are a lot of people, followed by the Dizi Hall, followed by the Xuanzi Hall, and finally the Huangzi Hall." The waiter took out the picture and said: "You can start with If you look at it, there is basically no difference between the real thing and the photo.”
"No need to look anymore."
"Mr. Cheng." The secretary looked at Cheng Xingyan. Cheng Xingyan continued: "This time we finally come to Shunli Shanshui Manor. Of course we have to book the best room, so we will book Tianzi Hall."
"Sorry, Tianzi Hall has been booked out."
"Is it booked?" Cheng Xingyan was slightly stunned at first, and then said: "Forget it, let's book it in the Dizi Hall." Since the best room has been booked, he is ready to give up this idea.
At this time, the intercom on the counter suddenly rang: "People from Cuican Entertainment Company have arrived one after another, speed up." Cheng Xingyan frowned and said, "Hello, I want to ask who is the person who booked Tianzi Hall? Not Bright Entertainment Company?”
"Yes, today there is a dinner party for the crew of Cuican Entertainment. I'm sorry." The waiter pointed to the elevator and said, "You can go to Dizi Hall now." Cheng Xingyan waved and said, "How much does Tianzi Hall cost? If I give you more money, can you book Tianzi Hall for us?"
"Ah?" The waiter was obviously stunned for a moment, and her brain could not react for a moment. She had never encountered such a situation in such a long time in the industry, and thought to herself, how could such a scene happen in this era?
He quickly sorted out his words and said: "I'm sorry, sir. A few days ago, Cuican Entertainment Company booked Tianzi Hall. It's not possible for you to book Tianzi Hall now. Or you can come over tomorrow and this hall will be empty tomorrow." Yes. In fact, Dizi Hall is not much worse than Tianzi Hall."
"No need to explain to me. We still have work to do. We have time today. If you want to book Tianzi Hall, money is not an issue."
"This..." The waiter became embarrassed for a moment and said, "Wait a moment, I'll call the manager over." After the manager arrived, the waiter recounted what had just happened.
"Sir, I would like to apologize to you on behalf of Shunli Shanshui Manor. We really have no way to resolve your request."
"Okay, you guys can't solve it, right? Then I'll call your boss now." Cheng Xingyan felt ashamed for a moment. In front of so many company employees, if something like this happens, if it can't be solved, maybe it will be solved. Will be laughed at.
He is the vice president of a top-notch entertainment company, shouldn't he be valued more than a crew member of the Bright Entertainment Company?
The two entertainment companies have always competed with each other, and this time they had to dominate the entertainment company. Cheng Xingyan took out his cell phone and looked up Zhang Laike's cell phone number.
"Both - all - all -" Cheng Xingyan frowned. Another five seconds passed.
"Hello, hello, who are you?" Cheng Xingyan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Boss Zhang, it's me. I'm Cheng Xingyan, the vice president of Tianjing Entertainment Company. I had two dinners with Mr. Qin at the Magic City Peace Hotel before. The next meal is here.”
"Oh, hello, Mr. Cheng, do you have anything to do with me?" A smile instantly appeared on Cheng Xingyan's face, feeling that the matter had been settled.
"Hahaha, it's like this. Recently, I took a group of people from the company to Beijing for an inspection. I have long heard that Shunli Shanshui Manor is the best manor resort in Beijing. I just took the opportunity to come and experience it today."
"That's very welcome. I'll arrange a restaurant for you. How many people are there?"
"We are at the front desk of the restaurant now. We want to feel how Tianzi Hall is like. Could you please make arrangements."
"Tianzi Hall has been booked. You can change to another hall. The waiter didn't tell you. The other three halls are almost the same." The smile on Cheng Xingyan's face froze. He didn't expect Zhang Laike to refuse so much. Simply, without any hesitation.
Since he couldn't arrange it, Cheng Xingyan knew that he didn't have that much face, so he had no choice but to smile and lead his subordinates to the Dizi Hall.
Sitting in the main seat, Cheng Xingyan felt that he had lost all face today. The vice president of a large entertainment company didn't even have any face at all.
The successful release of "Forrest Gump" has attracted more and more attention to Bright Entertainment Company, and Tianjing Entertainment Company is facing increasing pressure.
The entire company has regarded Bright Entertainment as a competitor. Although it is just a matter of a restaurant, no matter what I do now, I have to fight with the Bright Entertainment Company, not to mention that there is a small crew opposite.
The more Cheng Xingyan thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved, so he called his secretary over and arranged in a low voice: "Can you help me find out which crew of the Bright Entertainment company is having dinner at Tianzi Hall?"
"Okay, Mr. Cheng."
"Don't leave." Cheng Xingyan thought to himself that he must see which director made Zhang Laike refuse so neatly. Not long after, the secretary who got the news came back.
"How about it, have you found out? Who is it?"
"We've found out." The secretary said, "The person from Tianzi Hall is Tan Yue."
"Tan Yue?" Cheng Xingyan was stunned for a long time, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, I understand. Please find a place to sit for a while."
"It turns out to be Tan Yue," Cheng Xingyan muttered in his heart. At this time, he felt mentally balanced. Originally he thought it was just a small crew from the Bright Entertainment Company, but he didn't expect it to be Tan Yue.
At this time, thinking about Zhang Laike's refusal so simply, it is understandable. It is normal without Tan Yue's face.
In the domestic entertainment industry, no one can compete with Tan Yue. Not to mention that with the spread of Bright Entertainment's popularity in the international entertainment industry, Tan Yue's reputation abroad has already begun, and his strength and status are among the top in the industry.
"It should be the celebration party for "Forrest Gump."" Counting the time, Cheng Xingyan's face was full of envy. The box office reached more than 3 billion US dollars, ranking sixth on the global movie box office list.
Among the people who came to inspect the film from Tianjing Entertainment, there were also some staff from the film department. Now they are looking forward to Tianjing Entertainment every day to produce a movie with such results.
"This hall is the most luxurious I have ever seen. I must drink more tonight to enjoy the scenery here."
"How can you feel the scenery after drinking too much? I advise you to stay awake and take more pictures."
"Yes, today's goal is not to get drunk and not come back. Forget about the photos, I won't take any more. Anyway, the scenery is the same no matter where you go."
"This Dizi Hall is already so good. I wonder how grand this Tianzi Hall in Shunli Shanshui Manor will be."
"I feel like I will never have this kind of opportunity again. Can you tell me if I am dreaming now? I have never felt like this before."
"It is indeed a luxurious private room. I hope the food served in the back is also delicious. It should not just look good." Listening to other people talking about drinking, Cheng Xingyan was thinking about whether to toast Tan Yue. I have heard Tan Yue's name in the world, but I have never seen him before.
I have to say that today is a very good opportunity. Competition is competition, and his goal is to one day be like Tan Yue, taking the company step by step into the international entertainment industry, so he still admires Tan Yue.
