Become a dramatist from today

"No wonder he has a beer belly. Nanhai has finished three or four bottles. He must have done half of it (six bottles) by himself today." Huang Baiyou thought on the way back.

Huang chatted with him for a bottle or two, mainly Yu Mo "fighting" for himself. You could tell that Director Yu was filled with happiness and indignation.

I'm happy that I can show off my skills, but I'm probably angry because of the cold shoulder I've received since the movie failed to be scheduled for Labor Day.

When Huang Baiyou first met, he didn't realize that Yu Mo was actually over fifty and no longer young.

"Farewell My Concubine will definitely not fail, it won't. If we send it to the Venice Film Festival, we will definitely make money back!" Yu Mo said similar words no more than three times while drinking.

"I believe, I believe in Director Yu's level." Huang Baiyou responded.

Huang Baiyou's thoughts were interrupted by a sudden male voice——

"China Express is happy to serve you. Please give us a positive review."

When we arrived at the place, the driver said a line that he had to repeat countless times every day.

After agreeing, Huang Baiyou would give good reviews while walking. He was not afraid of trouble. He would give it to anyone who asked for a good review for a takeaway express ride. This is related to his previous role as the leader of the Kua Kua group.

Instead of entering the community, I walked to the Cainiao Station nearby and picked up a few packages.

When I got home, I opened the package and found a few books.

"We've finally arrived. I don't know why I sent the Jitu Express. This rabbit is really slow." Huang Baiyou thought to himself.

"Autobiography of a Clown", "Tears at the Circus", "Origin of Clown Culture" and other books. For task three, to understand clown culture, the first choice is books.

The second step is to go to a foreign circus and interview the clowns on the spot. Why go abroad?

Because even the world's largest circus, Cirque du Soleil, was declared bankrupt and its plight was discovered by the public, so it came back to life.

The situation of other circuses can also be imagined. Originally, clowns are a foreign culture. They are rare abroad and almost non-existent in China.

Today, Huang Baiyou was a little drunk. He didn't want to read. After washing, he lay on the bed and watched videos. As a man, there are always six or seven days a week when he doesn't want to do anything.

The next day, Huang Baiyou came to the company, gave the script of "Farewell My Concubine" to Chu Yuan, and explained clearly the conversation with Yu Mo yesterday.

"It may be a bit conceited to say this." Huang Baiyou said, "But with me playing Cheng Dieyi and director Yu Mo, the audience's expectations should be pretty good and we won't lose money."

Including the actors, the total investment is estimated to be around 300 million, and the domestic box office will be 900 million if the capital is recovered. Yu Mo and Huang Baiyou once again collaborated on a drama theme, which is very attractive.

With the addition of Yuan Xiangshi and Dong Gong, even if the work is only of medium quality, it is not difficult to achieve a box office of 1 billion, Chu Yuan calculated in his mind.

"I also believe in the boss's box office appeal, especially if it performs a little better and wins any awards, this movie will make a lot of money." Chu Yuan responded, and she also believed that it was time to return to China to film and stabilize her position.

Yu Mo said drunkenly that he wanted to take "Farewell My Concubine" to the Berlin Film Festival, but he didn't know whether it was true or not.

Cheng Dieyi and Truman are both characters with great space for expression, and there is indeed hope that they can win another top three European actor...

This is not guaranteed, because of Truman's interpretation, Huang Baiyou achieved a semi-fusion state due to sudden deafness, which is a milestone work in his acting career.

"I'll first ask them to analyze the script in detail and evaluate the investment." Chu Yuan said, "Will Wanda be involved this time?"

Movies with hundreds of millions in the entertainment industry are rarely invested by one company. Firstly, it cannot afford to lose money, and secondly, you have to share some of the cake.

When Daydream Studio was still affiliated with Jinyi Film and Television, they roped in Jinyi. After the affiliation ended, the options became wider.

"Okay." Huang Baiyou nodded. He and Qin Xing were currently filming together.

And Qin Xing is from the Wanda family. Because of this relationship, Daydream Pictures and Wanda Films are in the honeymoon period.

"I also have one thing to ask." Chu Yuan said, ""Batman: The Dark Knight", will our company participate in the investment?"

After analysis by the company's data department, The Dark Knight is largely a profitable work.

"I asked, and the investment share of The Dark Knight is gone." Huang Baiyou replied, "If you want to publish it in Europe and the United States, going with Cake is the best way."

It makes sense for Chu Yuan to nod. Dao Le is not that easy to earn. Her career plan for Huang Baiyou is to be "the number one Asian actor". It doesn't matter whether he is recognized by Europe and the United States. It is important to be able to collect box office in Europe and the United States.

After the matter was said and done, Huang Baiyou was ready to leave the company. Even though he controlled 82% of the company's shares, he did not often participate in management and only made the final decision on major decisions.

By the way, one more thing, I almost forgot, Huang Bai said, "Did the company send the scripts screened to my email?"

Chu Yuan responded, "Sent it."

"Huh? Then why isn't it in my mailbox?" Huang Bai said.

"Wrong account number?" Chu Yuan said, "I'll check it out later. Now that I've mentioned it -"

As if remembering something, Chu Yuan said: "Boss, if you have time, you should go and cheer up the artists."

"What's wrong?" Huang Baiyou asked.

"Because actors who daydream about going out will definitely target their bosses, and artists who sign contracts are under a lot of pressure," Chu Yuan said.

"No need." Huang Baiyou thought and then refused, "As long as you step into the entertainment industry, you are bound to be under pressure. If you go out in Daydream, you will receive extra attention, and you will definitely be under extra pressure."

"We can provide opportunities for artists, and we can also provide protection to keep rumors away, but the rest is up to them," Huang Bai said.

Hearing this, Chu Yuan also agreed with the boss's view and did not mention the matter again.

Currently, Daydream Pictures has fifteen artists including Jiang Suining, all of whom are in a booming development.

Because there are many producers who want to show their works abroad and become "popular overseas", they can get too many resources in exchange, plus the golden sign [Huang Baiyou].

It’s easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree, I’m right.

After returning home, Huang Baiyou came to the study and saw the trophies on the cabinets. There were too many trophies than he expected. Because of the Truman movie, he actually won the British Academy Award and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. However, when the awards were presented, Huang was filming an action movie, and Caiyun stepped in to take charge.

"There is huge room for development." Huang Baiyou stretched, picked up the book, and read "Autobiography of a Clown" first.

This book is a biography of the clown artist Jules Tourneau. He chose an ancient profession "clown". Tourneau is very proud that "people laugh when they see it."

From poverty to becoming the most famous clown in Ringling Circus, Tunuo's life was very brilliant. Huang Baiyou read the story and browsed Tunuo's life.

To explain a little bit, Ringling Circus, Big Apple Circus, and Cirque du Soleil are the three major circuses in the world. Ringling and the Big Apple both performed farewell performances, largely because of animal rights organizations.

Circus animals...there's nothing wrong with animal rights this time.

There will be another chapter in a moment.
