Gastronomy God

Chapter 199
November is one of the worst months for the movie box office. Generally speaking, no film studio will premiere its own movies in November.

Because November is just after the National Day, people who should watch movies have consumed movie tickets in October, and people who should travel have also traveled in October.At the node of November, everyone has no money in their hands.

Therefore, throughout the ages, the box office of the film market in November has not been good, and only a few sporadic bad films will be released at this time.

Li Yang's redemption set off different fireworks.

And it's the one that's getting worse.

Cheng Xin is not like the people in Feiyu Film Group, who are always eyeing the box office of the movie. For him, Li Yang's redemption is just the first movie he has invested in in his life, as long as the movie doesn't lose money at the box office.

As for how much profit he can make, Cheng Xin is not very concerned about it yet.

Now the movie with the highest box office in the Chinese film industry, the richest man in Dragon City, has a box office record of 67 billion. This record has been maintained for three years, and no new movie has been able to break it.

There are many outside media predicting whether Li Yang's redemption, this movie, can break this record.

Someone is optimistic.

Several big names in the film industry, including Yang Yawen, Best Actress at the 22nd Golden Rooster Awards, Hu Kun, Best Supporting Actor at the 13th Golden Film Awards, and Xiao Zifan, chairman of the jury of the 53 Golden Horse Awards, all expressed their strong appreciation for Li Yang's redemption , and look forward to cooperating with Renjian Shenchu ​​Catering Co., Ltd. to win an important role in the follow-up script to interpret the profound image in the script.

"The script written under the guidance of Mr. Cheng Xin, Li Yang's redemption, has a profound conception. It is a rare high-quality film and television script in recent years. It explores the profound philosophy of life and human nature. It is destined to be remembered by more people. Excellent actors are sometimes The interpretation of the characters through such a wonderful script will be frozen in the history of the film."

"Li Yang's Redemption is not a kitsch movie. Mr. Cheng Xin has his own thinking about various problems in life. He uses the rare theme of prison to express his thinking about life and society, and let us think about ourselves. Whether it has been institutionalized, Mr. Cheng Xin's purpose in writing this script is probably to hope that we can cherish the people in front of us and live every day well."

"It's a day when people are happy, and it's a day when they are unhappy, so why don't we live happily? This is the philosophy of life I learned from Li Yang's redemption. I really hope to play someone in this excellent movie. A role, but unfortunately that is no longer possible. It is a pity for an actor not to be able to participate in such an excellent film. From this perspective, new actors Jiang Jiajun and Xiao Shuyu are very lucky. I hope I can also In the follow-up career of an actor, I received a shooting invitation from Human World Kitchen Catering Co., Ltd., asking me to play a certain role."

There is no shortage of various actors with first-class acting skills in the Chinese film industry. In this era of popular movies, veteran actors and actresses cannot get any quality dramas.Without movies and TV series, and no source of income, the lives of many veteran actors have become problematic.

These big names in the film industry spoke about Li Yang's Redemption movie, to a certain extent, they also spoke for powerful actors, hoping that there will be more high-quality and high-level movies on the market, and excellent actors will be hired to perform. The role of the script allows the film and television industry to flourish and embark on a path of healthy development.

The former film and television industry, under the injection of various massive capitals, has become a gold mine for some financial predators, and is on the road of driving out good money with bad money. The art industry of film has become a victim of the traffic era.

In this era, as an actor, the investors don't need you to have any acting skills, just lip-syncing in filming and you're done.The process of shooting a movie for traffic actors has become very straightforward. First, you have to draw a beautiful shape, and then make some coquettish movements facing the camera, lip-syncing, repeating one, two, three, four, and you're done.

Such a bad film, with the support of brainless die-hard fans, can still reap a lot of praise and box office.

This phenomenon is only beneficial to the capital side, and the situation faced by film and television workers is getting more and more difficult day by day.

This is not fair to those powerful actors who have honed their acting skills for ten years.

The market determines their way out. If the actors in a movie are all traffic stars, they will have no way out, they will not be able to make money, and they will not be able to maintain their lives.

Therefore, these powerful actors hope that there will be a film with a good reputation at the box office in the film market, so that more film investors will notice them and give them a bite to eat.

The minds of many powerful actors are very simple. They just want to play the interesting characters in the script to perfection. For this, they have paid a lot, and they don't ask for much in return.

But such a simple requirement is often not met.

The current situation of powerful actors in the film and television market is that there are more wolves and less meat. There are not many high-quality movies to be shot, and investors cannot provide many roles for these powerful actors.

In the long run, seeing this situation, how many new actors in the film and television industry will choose to become powerful actors?

Aren't you afraid to starve yourself to death?
Li Yang's redemption, the box office in the past few days is obvious to all. In just a week or two, it has already broken through the 30 billion mark, exceeding everyone's original imagination of the movie's box office.

Cheng Xin originally thought that Li Yang's redemption would be a good movie without losing money. He didn't expect this movie to surprise him so much.

An investment of one billion yuan brought nearly two billion yuan in income in just two weeks, and this is not the limit.

It's no wonder that big capital likes to invest in the construction of film and television companies, and shoot various streaming movies and TV series. The emotional film and television industry is really profitable.

In fact, Cheng Xin ignored one point at this time. Li Yang's redemption was able to surpass everyone's imagination in just a week or two. The box office of more than 30 billion was largely due to the quality of the movie itself. .

First of all, Li Yang's redemption was filmed from the perspective of the two protagonists and divided into two versions. It is destined that if the audience wants to have a deeper understanding of this movie, they have to watch it twice and watch the optimistic version. Li Yang's redemption, see a pessimistic version of Li Yang's redemption.

After a viewer has watched two versions of Li Yang's Redemption, he may not understand all the small details in it. If he wants to have a deeper understanding of this movie, he can choose to watch it twice.

After reading the two editions of Li Yang's Redemption twice, quite a large number of people decided to read it again because they still wanted to dig deeper into the content.

All in all, a film and television enthusiast may watch Li Yang's Redemption three times, three times for each of the two versions.In total, one person contributed six box office tickets.

Another important point is that Li Yang's Redemption was filmed regardless of the cost. During the filming process, director Zhang Xing used the latest film and television technology, so the image quality of the picture is excellent, which beats domestic filmmakers at the same time. of any movie.

Just for the picture quality of this movie, the price of a movie ticket is worth it.

If you don't go to the cinema to see Li Yang's Redemption, you can't personally feel how amazing this scene is.

Cheng Xin also did not expect that he asked director Zhang Xing to shoot regardless of the cost, and finally got a surprise, because Li Yang's redemption and exquisite picture quality attracted a wave of viewers to watch.

This may show that the hard work you put in will eventually be repaid to you in another form.

Unintentionally inserting willows and willows into shades, Li Yang's redemption was pushed to the altar by movie lovers under the condition of excellent quality.

Actress Yang Yawen, actor Hu Kun, and Xiao Zifan also received comments posted online by Cheng Xin.

Cheng Xin felt that what the old-timers in the film industry said was very reasonable. Excellent films would shine brightly in the long run of time, while rubbish traffic films would soon dissipate after the investors ran out of bad money. in people's minds.

Cheng Xin still has a lot of movie scripts in hand, and Cheng Xin doesn't mind giving these old actors a chance.

In his previous life, Cheng Xin had heard too many sad news. Many old actors with first-class acting skills, because of the changes of the times, could not receive the drama and could shoot, life was in a difficult situation, and eating became a problem. He was very sorry. These people are sad.

Now, to live a new life, Cheng Xin will not let the tragedy of the previous life happen again in this life.

He is not short of money, he has a lot of scripts, he just wants to shoot some awesome movies and TV series, let the audience friends see what is boutique, what is art, what is the charm of film and television, why the acting skills of those veteran actors are so amazing People are amazed.

Cheng Xin doesn't bother to be that kind of delicate and self-interested hero. Every day, he thinks about enjoying all kinds of privileges, stepping on enemies, and enjoying all kinds of extravagance after he has money.

Cheng Xin thinks this kind of behavior is very low.

What the real Shenhao should do is to change the major industries and make the society better because of the existence of Shenhao, instead of allowing another privileged person to enjoy all kinds of extravagance in the society.

The real Shenhao should pay the most attention to spiritual enjoyment.

Different from the instinctive enjoyment of consumption and the body, spiritual enjoyment is long-lasting and can bring people greater happiness and power.

When you invest in a high-quality movie, let the veteran actors have a meal, give a salary to the film and television workers who pursue the quality of the movie, and let the audience see a high-quality movie, isn’t it? Are you not happy?

The existence of others is better because of your existence.

From this perspective, there is no difference between you and the ancient gods. You have changed their destiny, made them live a better life, and made the world a little better because of your existence.

From the moment of birth, people are destined to change the world, whether you agree or disagree.

If you become a pedantic adult with bad habits as you grow up, then the world will become a little disgusting because of your existence.

If you grow up and become a well-organized and long-term visionary Shenhao, then the world will become a little better because of your existence.

There is no doubt that Cheng Xin is the latter kind of person.

Everything he has done has made this existing poor world a little bit better because of his existence.

Take the magic chef shop as an example. The dishes provided in the shop are all of the highest quality, and there will never be a situation where the inferior ones are filled with good ones. Every dish made for the diners is from the hands of the masters.

This kind of restaurant did not exist before the Magic Kitchen Shop came out.

It is almost impossible for ordinary people to eat dishes prepared by master chefs.

If you ask a passerby, how can you eat a meal made by a master chef, the passerby will ask you:

"Are you afraid you are dreaming?"

Master chefs are chefs with extremely noble status. In a province, generally speaking, there are only a dozen or more than 20 master chefs.These master chefs seldom cook for outside diners, they are all high above, and they don't know how to cook for ordinary people.

And Cheng Xin’s creation of the God’s Kitchen allows ordinary people to have the opportunity to dine at the God’s Kitchen. No matter who they are, as long as they pay for the food, they can get the same meal treatment as a master chef in the God’s Kitchen. .

For foodies who like to eat delicious food, the world has indeed become better because of the existence of the magic kitchen shop, and because of the existence of Cheng Xin, and their world has become more warm because of it.

Cheng Xin is also very tolerant towards the company's employees. No matter whether they work in the Shenchu ​​small shop or in the Shenjian Shenchu ​​Catering Co., Ltd., employees do not need to clock in. They work five days a week, nine to five, weekends off, and never work overtime , Wages are paid in accordance with the highest standards in the industry.

For the employees, Cheng Xin is the best boss, he doesn't oppress them at all, puts them in an equal position, and respects every employee.

In fact, from Cheng Xin's point of view, the staff and him care for each other.If he treats the employees well, the employees will naturally feel it, and they will be more serious about their daily work. Even if they do not work overtime, under a high-efficiency working state, the work of the day should be completed on time.

If Cheng Xin adopts the method of squeezing employees and treats them, letting them take low salaries and work overtime for free every day, then the employees will definitely be dissatisfied, and most people will not think about how to do things well, and their daily work is perfunctory. The end result is that the company's work efficiency is extremely low, and most of the employees are paddling and muddling along.

All employees of Renjian Shenchu ​​Catering Co., Ltd. all think that Cheng Xin is the best boss they have ever met in their lives. They are in a good mood these days working at Renjian Shenchu ​​Catering Co., Ltd.Because of Cheng Xin, their lives have become much better.

The appearance of Dou Break Sky has made more people feel the charm of reading, and embarked on the road of exploring their own souls.For these people, Cheng Xin is their reading enlightenment in life.The appearance of Cheng Xin made their world a little bit better.

This is the real Shenhao, the quality that should be possessed, and the things that should be done.

Hello everyone, is really good.

The highest self-interest is altruism.

Only when you reach a certain level will you understand that there is nothing wrong with this sentence.

When Cheng Xin was a high school Chinese teacher in his previous life, he often taught his students to have a kind heart and help others more, but Cheng Xin himself was still skeptical about this.

Because the society is too dangerous, once you are too kind, you will be trapped by those dark, disgusting and bottomless bad people.

Now, after experiencing a series of entrepreneurship and achieving some achievements, Cheng Xin feels that there is nothing wrong with the ancient sages and sages telling future generations to be kind to others in their textbooks.

It's just that the premise of this sentence can only be reflected after reaching a certain height.

This sentence does not apply among the bottom people.Among people with a higher level, this sentence becomes a sentence with the correct context.

Everyone helps each other to do things better.

Treating people with sincerity, and treating people with sincerity, this is Cheng Xin's way of treating people, and it is also his way of being proud.

Today, Cheng Xin has a deeper understanding of this.

Afterwards, he will shoot more movies to let more people understand that domestic movies can also produce high-quality movies, and produce a large number of excellent movies with local characteristics, so that more people can enjoy high-quality movies.

Cheng Xin felt that the burden on his shoulders was still quite heavy.

Isn't it a kind of happiness not to be needed and trusted by so many people?

Thinking of this, Cheng Xin chuckled, feeling a little interesting.

Now Cheng Xin's mind began to focus on the next movie.

After spending one billion yuan on Li Yang's redemption filming, Cheng Xin successfully acquired the skills of a professional director, which the system finally rewarded him with.

Because of this, Cheng Xin has a lot of movie shooting skills and techniques in his mind. Cheng Xin has a clear understanding of how to shoot movies, how to light, how to set the scene, and how to switch the light and dark of each scene. , countless professional knowledge belonging to a director, all poured into Cheng Xin's mind.

At this moment, Cheng Xin has another layer of identity, the identity of a professional director.

If Cheng Xin's ability is found out by others, Cheng Xin may have to face slice studies by scientific research organizations.

As an individual, becoming a master chef in his 20s is awesome, but there have been many such people since ancient times.

But Cheng Xin is a master chef and also a pioneering web writer, which is amazing. He is a genius who can reach the extreme in both fields.

Cheng Xin, who is strong in both aspects, will not arouse any suspicion.

Then Cheng Xin broke out that he could write songs. He wrote popular music and actors, which is extraordinary.Ordinary people began to wonder if Cheng Xin was human?
In terms of catering, novels, and music, they have done so beautifully.Many people were jealous of Cheng Xin's talent.These skills can be acquired through self-learning, so although others are dissatisfied, it is hard to talk about it.

The ability that Cheng Xin showed to the public in the end was his excellent script writing ability, and he was able to write Li Yang's redemption. The script of this high-quality movie is enough to illustrate Cheng Xin's script writing ability.

This ability has not aroused public suspicion. It is normal to write a good novel and a script as well.

If Cheng Xin exposes that he is a professional director again, most people will realize that Cheng Xin is abnormal.

Becoming a professional-level director cannot be accomplished by self-study.The profession and skill of directing must be learned professionally, not just anyone can acquire this skill by reading a few books.

Cheng Xin is only in his early twenties, and his previous identity has always been a cook. He didn't have the opportunity to get in touch with director-related knowledge and learn professionally in colleges. So, how can he have professional-level director skills?

This is not right, there must be a lot of tricks in it, anyone with a normal mind knows that Cheng Xin has a secret in him, he is not normal.

At that time, Cheng Xin will really face the risk of slicing.

Cheng Xin would not foolishly use this skill by himself, assume the position of director, and recruit a group of actors to shoot a movie.

He was very calm, without fever.

For subsequent film shooting cooperation, Cheng Xin decided to cooperate with director Zhang Xing.

Cheng Xin has already thought about his next movie, and he will shoot the movie Bayu Forest.

One step in the previous life is a classic movie about a lost love, a love movie.

In the previous life, this was a word-of-mouth and outstanding love movie. After watching it, many young girls would never forget it for a long time. After many years, they still have a good impression of it.

The reason why Cheng Xin recreated this Bayu Forest in this world is that Cheng Xin wants to let the brainless fanatical female audience who have been watching love movies of traffic stars see what a real love movie is.

After watching this Bayu Forest, you die-hard fans of traffic stars, can you still watch that kind of meaty and tender rubbish assembly line love movie?

Cheng Xin didn't think so.

In many cases, it is because there are not too many outstanding and excellent romance movies on the market that the box office of garbage traffic romance movies is rising step by step.

Once there is a phenomenal love movie, after being repeatedly watched by female audiences, their tolerance for traffic junk movies will drop a lot.

At that time, no one will be willing to watch traffic movies, and the investor who dares to shoot rubbish movies is doomed to lose everything.

Therefore, the filming of Bayu Forest is very important, and it is related to the future direction of the domestic film industry.

Li Yang's redemption slapped all the film and television practitioners and investors who shot streaming movies. It touched the film market, but it was not strong enough or loud enough.

The emergence of Bayu Forest will completely change the entire industry.

Now there must be investors and film crews shooting traffic movies. At that time, the garbage traffic movies shot by these people will have a head-to-head confrontation with the Bayu Forest invested by Cheng Xin, and they will lose everything.

Cheng Xin will not sympathize with these people, these people are not worthy of sympathy.

Because they are the chief culprits who ruin the normal ecology of the film and television industry.I can't live without committing crimes, and I am dying. After seeing Li Yang's Redemption, a high-quality phenomenon-level movie, I still don't know how to repent, and dare to shoot traffic movies.Cheng Xin could only admire their courage and their greed for money.

……

For the next three weeks, Cheng Xin was cooking step by step, training various chef students in the Master Chef training class, and developing the Master Chef shop from strength to strength.

Li Yang's redemption has set off wave after wave in the film market, showing a trend of box office growth, and the daily box office revenue is calculated in hundreds of millions.

After more than ten days, the final box office reached a jaw-dropping figure:

"98 billion!"

The ceiling of the domestic box office has jumped three small steps from the 67 billion of the richest man in Dragon City to an unprecedented 98 billion.

Many film and television practitioners have been shocked, even those who shoot traffic star movies with bad money, they find it incredible, and even begin to doubt whether the path they took in the first place was wrong.

A love story movie with traffic stars at the box office of 2000 million yuan, with an investment of 3 million yuan, after deducting various publicity expenses, shooting costs, actors' salaries, the investor and the crew can make a net profit of [-] million yuan is no problem.

But now, this group of people making bad money began to envy the achievements of the movie Li Yang's Redemption.

The movie Li Yang's Redemption is a big production, and the shooting cost alone has reached one billion yuan. It's really amazing. Not many investors have the guts to do so.

But the results achieved by the film are truly amazing.

The cost of one billion yuan brought a profit of nearly 90 billion yuan.

Since the actors in this movie are all newcomers and the salary is not high, the overall calculation, Feiyu Films and Cheng Xin will share a 43-[-] split. After deducting the publicity and distribution expenses, Cheng Xin can get close to [-] billion in income.

After investing one billion yuan, in just a few months, a return of 43 billion yuan was obtained. This profit is really astonishing, and anyone who sees it will be envious.

All kinds of media and public opinion are now applauding, but there is no black draft, because it is meaningless.

Whoever dares to write a black draft of Li Yang's redemption at this time is a proper idiot.

"Li Yang's Redemption was released for one month, with a box office of over 98 billion and a score of 9.8. It's a journey to the gods."

"Li Yang's Redemption Director Zhang Xing thanks the audience for their support. There are also high-quality domestic films, and we can also export our own films!"

"Li Yang's redemption, an idealist's adventure!"

"In the movie Li Yang's Redemption, Reid is more like every ordinary person than Li Yang!"

Director Zhang Xing was dizzy after seeing the film's achievements. This situation lasted for a long time, especially in the last few days of the film's release, the box office broke through history day by day.

This means that he, Zhang Xing, has become the highest-grossing film director in China, and has since become a banner of domestic films, and no one can ignore him.

Director Zhang Xing has achieved enough before, and now he has reached a peak.

Even if Zhang Xing was the first director in China to win an Academy Award, it is far less dazzling than this achievement in front of him.

The highest-grossing film director in China, Zhang Xing.

From then on, he only needed this suffix and it was enough.

The crew members of Li Yang's Redemption have all received intense media attention.

As Li Yang's leading actors, Xiao Shuyu and Jiang Jiajun soared into the sky and became the hottest actors, leaping to the front line.

Li Yang's redemption fully bloomed his achievements, allowing everyone to see the box office potential of good movies.
