Zhou Xing stayed in the Demon City for a week, and Brother Hu's condition improved, and then he returned to the capital.

As expected, the box office of the "Tokyo Trial" failed, with an investment of 30 million yuan, but the box office in the mainland was less than 15 million yuan. It can be said that it lost all its money. It was not only the box office, but its reputation was not very good. Although this film has many highlights, its shortcomings are also obvious, so naturally it is inevitable to be scolded.

However, when Zhou Xing saw Gao Qunshu, he was not too frustrated, and even felt a little relieved.

"How is it? Are you still used to it here? It looks good to you." Zhou Xing greeted him with a little teasing.

Gao Qunshu spread his hands and sighed: "Or what if? If you have a bitter face all day, the box office will be higher? It's better to die and understand, and find another opportunity to turn the tables in the future."

Some people focus on results, some people focus on process, and it is obvious that Gaoqushu is the former.

"Yo, are you talking?" Anli knocked in with a bunch of documents.

"Wow, sister anli, you're so exaggerating. The company has only been operating for a few months, and there are so many projects?" Zhou Xing asked in surprise.

Anli cursed with a smile: "What do you think? In this circle, what is lacking the most is not actors or projects, what is lacking the most is money."

With the prosperity of the mainland film market in recent years, the number of practitioners in the entire film and television industry has also increased rapidly. In fact, it can be seen from the number of applicants in art schools over the years that many parents have even regarded art exams as another way out for their children.

Not only newcomers, but many directors who were keen on making art films have also joined the ranks of filming commercial films. This situation is a bit like before the reform and opening up. You are poor and I am poor, and everyone is content with the status quo. But when you see some people get rich first, it is inevitable that someone will think, why can't they do it?

However, these directors who make art films are quite famous in the circle, but when they come out of the circle, those investors don’t recognize this signature. There are very few who can attract investment and successfully transform.

Although Zhou Xing's "Zhixing Film and Television" is not large in scale, after all, he has discovered [Crazy Stone] and the power of role models is always endless, so many independent filmmakers are looking for investment. Of course, a large part of it is not reliable.

The documents in Anli's hands were screened layer by layer before they appeared on Zhou Xing's desk, and there were already a small number of them.

"Blind Mountain?" Zhou Xing remembered that there was a movie called "Blind Well" in 2003. He immediately became interested. When he opened the folder, he found that it was indeed the same director.

Just like the blind well, this is an art film that is extremely depressing and at the same time extremely real. The 22-year-old female college student Bai Xuemei was sold to a small mountain village by human traffickers and was his wife to 40-year-old farmer Huang Degui. She wanted to escape, but was caught again and again and beaten in public. They even brainwashed Xuemei day after day, persuading her to give up struggling.

Later, Bai Xuemei gave birth to a boy for Huang Degui, which made the Huang family feel alert to her. With the help of Li Qingshan, a junior high school student, Bai Xuemei contacted her parents. However, the final result was that the villagers surrounded the police car and the police had no choice but to deal with them.

The police had to take Xuemei's family to hide in the village committee and then go to bring rescue soldiers. As a result, after the police left, Huang Degui began to beat Xuemei's father. The final result was that Xuemei got it and killed Huang Degui.

After reading this script, Zhou Xing even shuddered, which was a kind of despair that made people feel cold.

"How is it?" Gao Qunshu is actually quite optimistic about this drama. Li Yang's attainments in art films are self-evident. Compared with those young people, his advantages are very obvious.

Zhou Xing pondered for a long time, but finally shook his head. Although he also liked the script very much, he knew that according to the script, he would only lose money.

"Forget it, we can't afford to play art films for the time being."

Gao Qunshu is a pity, but he also understands the current situation of "Zhixing Film and Television". All the funds of "Zhixing Film and Television" come from Zhou Xing, and he cannot invest endlessly.

Training the team and surviving is the most urgent problem of "Zhixing Film and Television".

"Love call transfer?" Zhou Xing opened the script.

How to say it, this is a very nonsense story. It tells a middle-aged man who is treated meticulously by his wife and wants to divorce. Then he gets a magical mobile phone and presses a button. He will meet a type of woman. Then he will unfold a series of ridiculous stories. He gradually discovers that every woman has her own unique charm and at the same time discovers her own problems.

This script is a bit like a US movie "Life Remote Control" released during this summer vacation, but compared to this script, this script is more inclined to be entertaining and satisfying people's curiosity through "aggression".

"This script is pretty good and worth investing. Who sent it to?" Zhou Xing asked.

Gao Qunshu's face was a little strange: "Zhang Jianya."

Zhou Xing heard this name a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was. After Anli handed over his information, Zhou Xing realized that this person was definitely a senior. He was born in 1951 and wrote and directed a movie called: Sanmao's Military Records.

Since then, in 1994, he directed the comedy movie: Surviving in Desperate, and won the first Huabiao Award for Best Director.

After reading the information, Zhou Xing understood why Gao Qunshu had this expression. Judging from his qualifications, this senior is at the level of an old artist. How could he think of making such a movie?

"Lao Gao, how much investment does this drama require?" Zhou Xing thought about it and felt that he was worried about eating salty carrots. What if he had so much money? Just make money.

"This drama actually doesn't cost much money. The key is to see who these twelve actresses are invited." Gao Qunshu had actually passed it a long time ago. If he invited some unknown actors to act, two or three million would be enough, but if he invited everyone to invite first-line female stars, it would be impossible.

Of course, you get what you pay for. The main highlight of this drama is the encounter between the male protagonist and the female star, which satisfies all the audience's fantasies about sexual encounters. The higher the status of the female star, the more beautiful it is, the greater the impact on the box office.

Zhou Xing suddenly had a lit up: "We don't have many actresses in this drama, so how about finding someone to play a guest role?"

"This is a solution." Gao Qunshu nodded, but immediately said: "But who should I find a guest appearance?"

Zhou Xing thought for a while: "I'll look for Sister Hua to talk about it first. Lao Gao, you can make the budget according to this script first, and then ask Director Zhang to chat. We will settle this matter in the near future and don't let people snatch it first."

"Yeah, no problem."

"Oh, shikki, why are you free to come here today?" Wang Jinghua teased with a smile.

Chengtian Entertainment, its main business is artist agents. Wang Jinghua's status in Chengtian is much higher than that in Huayi. She has the final say in this area. No one is qualified to make trouble. It has been more than a year.

"Hey, have you been busy these days?" Zhou Xing was a little embarrassed. As a shareholder of the company, this was his first time to come to Chengtian, which was a bit unreasonable.

"Yes, starting a company by yourself is no more than being an artist, so there are naturally more things to worry about." Wang Jinghua took the opportunity to give Zhou Xing a step forward.

"Hi, Sister Hua, I'm actually here this time to ask for your help." Zhou Xing went straight to the point.

Wang Jinghua laughed and scolded: "I knew you were a night owl who came into the house without any trouble. Let's talk about it. We have not been in a day or two. As long as we are not too embarrassed, we will definitely help you."

Zhou Xing told the story about the incident, and Wang Jinghua was happy as soon as he heard it: "Hey, why did I think it's just a guest appearance? This matter is all about me."

"That's so thank you." Zhou Xing put down a big rock in his heart on the spot. With Wang Jinghua's influence, her words naturally responded to them.

In fact, the reason why Wang Jinghua gave her face so much is that Zhou Xingdu gave her the voting rights at the shareholders' meeting, and she was worth it. Secondly, Zhou Xing's identity is different now. She was just a simple artist before, but now she is the boss of a film and television company. Although the prospects of "Zhixing Film and Television" are not very clear, just because Zhou Xing has officially intervened in the production, his plan is definitely not small. What if he does it?

Wang Jinghua has no shortage of stars, but what she lacks is resources. Now she can only cram the cold stove in the future.

"By the way, this is your first time to come to Orange Sky? I'll take you around?" Wang Jinghua suggested.

Zhou Xing naturally would not refuse.

Wang Jinghua is the actual manager of the company, and her appearance naturally attracted the attention of many people. In addition, Zhou Xing, the staff who greeted him along the way, and the celebrity artists who came forward to get close to him were all very different.

After a walk around, Wang Jinghua invited Zhou Xing downstairs to have coffee: "How do you feel? Isn't it good?"

"Big companies are different. Compared with mine, they are just like heaven and earth." Zhou Xing sighed.

"You can get up from the ground with a tall building. You are better than most people in the circle when you can take this step. Like me, after staying for so long, aren't you still working for others?" Wang Jinghua smiled.

After Wang Jinghua finished speaking, she thought of the scene when she first met Zhou Xing. At that time, she wanted to sign Zhou Xing, and what Zhou Xing said made her remember until today: it would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

After returning from Chengtian, Zhou Xing suddenly thought that after so long, he hadn't called Tong Liya yet.

"Hey, hello." Tong Liya's voice was very gentle, giving people a very warm feeling.

Zhou Xing seemed to be happy inexplicably: "Hehe, I am Lao Zhou, long time no see."

"Hey, who do I think? Lao Zhou, why did you have my phone number? After you left, I regret not asking you for a contact information."
