Chapter 266 The eighth day of the lunar month
"The sky is blue waiting for the mist and rain, and I am waiting for you. The smoke from the kitchen is rising thousands of miles across the river..."

As the saying goes, time flies like water, and almost a month has passed since Xu Chuan and Wu Yunfei met and chatted.

It is January 2020, 1, New Year’s Eve, the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month.

The Spring Festival Gala on the TV happened to be playing a Chinese-style music medley program organized by Yang Qingchun, the previous Spring Festival Gala director.

This show was performed by Bai Tianyu, Wen Xiaojing, Su Chenwei and a well-known actor.The song "Blue and White Porcelain" was sung by that actor.

The reason for this arrangement was that Bai Tianyu and Xu Chuan had discussed it and exchanged their share of singing "Blue and White Porcelain" in the Spring Festival Gala for some resources for the newcomers.

At the same time, in the living room outside the TV, Xu Chuan was lying on the sofa side by side with a girl holding a mobile phone and laughing.

This girl is Shen Pingan, and the two of them are responsible for staying up late tonight.As for Shen Huajin and Zhu Lanyun, who were picked up together this time, they chatted for a while after the New Year's Eve dinner and then went to rest.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Xu Chuan has celebrated the New Year at his own home in so many years since he has been in Blue Star.This house, which was originally somewhat empty, finally gained some popularity with the addition of two masters and a younger sister.

"Brother, hurry up and keep giving out red envelopes. Other family groups are prone to red envelopes." Shen Ping'an, who was holding his mobile phone, suddenly urged.

"Family group..." Xu Chuan felt helpless when he heard this.

Other family groups have more than a dozen people, or even more.There are four people in my family group.

Except for himself and Shen Pingan, the only ones left are Qiu Yicheng and Lin Mengying.The two masters don't play with this thing, so they didn't pull it.

As the youngest and still a student, Shen Pingan is a special player who has not been able to start making money.

This family group said they were grabbing red envelopes, but in fact, three people gave them to one of her.

It's not a problem for three people to send money to one person. All three of them are very rich.

The problem is, the upper limit for a single red envelope is 200, and there are only four people in the group.In other words, it is enough to send out eight hundred each time. If you send too much, it will be useless and you will not be able to grab it.

After posting this a few times, it got really boring.

Thinking of this, Xu Chuan said: "We are waiting for the New Year's Eve, I will pack a big one."

"What's the point? It's fun to grab red envelopes." Shen Ping'an rejected Xu Chuan's proposal. She was not short of money, and all the money of the old couple belonged to her.

But after Shen Pingan heard this, he suddenly felt that there was no point in grabbing red envelopes with three rich people.

So, she put down her phone, walked closer to Xu Chuan, looked at the TV and said, "Brother, Bai Tianyu really went to meet Du Wenyu's parents?"

Hearing this, Xu Chuan couldn't help but smile.

A lot of things happened in the month after meeting Wu Yunfei.

One of them was Tian Tianyu who ran to meet Du Wenyu's parents. The speed of his relationship with Du Wenyu could be described as riding a rocket.When Du Wenyu came home a few years ago, his grandson followed him.

Judging from the bragging he had with Xu Chuan two days ago and the feedback from Du Wenyu.On the first day this guy came over, after having two drinks with his future father-in-law, he started making all kinds of oaths.

To be honest, you can see from here how much Bai Tianyu likes Du Wenyu.At the same time, we can also see how thick-skinned and courageous this grandson is.

Anyway, Xu Chuan has been complaining about him in Weixin these days.But, complaining is all about complaining, and Xu Chuan envied the way this guy dared to make a promise to his future father-in-law not long after the conversation.

You know, Xu Chuan and Lin Mengying and Qiu Yicheng have been talking to each other for so long that they have never even met their parents.

Qiu Yicheng was okay. Thinking of Lin Mengying's dozen or twenty brothers, Xu Chuan felt that his legs could not help but bounce.

Of course, this is all gossip.

All business has made good progress this month.

The first thing is naturally that the national style support plan officially kicked off in January.

As early as the time of publicity, Bai Tianyu had already opened the submission channels. January is actually the day when the first batch of shortlisted musicians chosen by him will be announced.

He selected a total of 7 singers, which was two more than the minimum standard of 5.

This is still the first batch, and it is not certain whether Bai Tianyu will continue to select people in the future.

In this regard, Xu Chuan is encouraging. The more singers there are, the bigger the awards ceremony at the end of the year will be.As long as Tian Tianyu can eat so many singers.

However, it can’t be too much. If it is too much, it will have no gold content.Tian Tianyu naturally understands this truth, so there is no need to worry too much about him.

The second thing is the formation of "Three Star Copper Tower". After so long preparations, the crew is finally ready.

After a few years, we will start to do some necessary publicity to the outside world.

Of course, this "necessary" publicity is only a superficial taste for other crews.The "publicity" of this crew is naturally not that simple.

Whether it's Xu Chuan, Huan Ze, or Wu Yunfei, they're all waiting for the so-called Disney to take action.

The third thing is that Lin Mengying’s National Style Cultural Festival has also made breakthrough progress. As I said before, the problem facing the National Style Cultural Festival is not the issue of funds and venue.

Rather, it takes time to talk with the people to be invited by each unit.At present, except for the artists, who have not yet started, other staff have already completed their work.

The fourth thing is of course Qiu Yicheng's foreign language album. During this period, Xu Chuan exhausted all the classic English songs he could think of.

Then I selected some songs that Qiu Yicheng could sing and were suitable for her to sing and arrange them.

It is worth mentioning that this time it was not just English songs, but Xu Chuan also played the only French song he could remember.

To this end, he also asked someone to find a French professional to help him prepare a version of the lyrics.

I believe people on the other side of the world must be familiar with this French song. It is called "My Name is Elaine".

How awesome is this song?

Let's put it this way, it topped the French singles chart for 25 consecutive weeks, and that was 25 weeks.

Although this song is quite old, a new arrangement can still bring it back to life.

Having said that, Xu Chuan actually didn’t want to redo the arrangement, but wanted to restore the original version as much as possible based on his own memory.

France, the original "artistic country", has been deteriorating year by year in recent years.

Xu Chuan felt that he needed to let the local audience have a good experience of the old French style brought by Qiu Yicheng.It doesn't matter whether you get results or not, the main focus is to be authentic and highlight the positive tricolor flag.

To sum up, in 2020, Xu Chuan feels that his career will enter a new stage.

Tong Shibang also feels that his career is about to enter a new stage.

As Xu Cihua's personal assistant, Tong Shibang feels that the hard work he has been working on for so long is finally coming to fruition.Since the last time Remy went back to "rest" for a few days under Xu Cihua's "care".When she came back, she found that some departments in the company that were originally under her jurisdiction were no longer under her control.

For this reason, Remy and Xu Cihua had a fierce quarrel for the first time.

After the quarrel, Remi excused himself as feeling unwell and went home early for the New Year.

As soon as she returned home, Tong Shibang took advantage of the opportunity to desperately seek the power that Remy originally held.I heard that the idea has already been decided on the "Three Star Copper Tower" project.

Remy was naturally aware of this, but did not stop him.

Speaking of which, in the past, when Remi went home during the Chinese New Year, it was actually her home in the capital.This year was different. She returned to the "backcountry" that she once hated so much.She took her parents and family to visit Xiangshui Beach and Wumeng Mountain, and also paid homage to Mrs. Shexiang.

She suddenly discovered that her hometown was really beautiful.

The change in her mentality gave her a different perspective on many things.

Therefore, Tong Shibang's behavior did not make her angry again.She is waiting, waiting for this short break to pass, and waiting for some work to start progressing after the year.

She is waiting, Xu Chuan is waiting, and many others are waiting.

As everyone waited, time passed day by day.

When the time came to February 2st, promotional news about "Samsung Copper Tower" began to appear on the Internet, and there was more than one piece of this news.

The first one is [Disney and domestic director Huan Ze jointly create China's first truly hard science fiction movie "Samsung Copper Tower"]

Under the promotional materials for this theme, two concepts are emphasized.

First, Disney’s “discerning eye”.In the copy of the announcement, it first described how Huan Ze had hit a wall in front of major domestic investors in recent years.

This is used to highlight the differences between Disney and these companies.

Now in the comment area, there are a lot of people [How about saying that they are the number one film and television company in the world? ] and other comments.

In addition, the second prominent point is Disney's "selflessness".What is emphasized here is that Disney has traveled thousands of miles to support the development of hard science fiction movies in China.

It fully reflects their "spirit of international cooperation".

Some people shouted something like, "Foreign artists really don't care about their country."

Then under this topic, comments similar to "Jointly hope that the country can import more Disney films" and "Jointly propose to fully relax Disney's restrictions on imported films in the future" are endless.

Of course, some people took this opportunity to give Xu Chuan another yin and yang.

What to say [It seems that our domestic science fiction movies have to rely on Disney for help.Some people said they shouted loudly at some symposium before, but now there is no movement at all].

To be honest, this kind of comment is just to pave the way for future plans.

"Mr. Xu, when will we take the next step?" Tong Shibang asked while making tea for Xu Cihua in Ziyi Media's office.

"No rush, let the news of the "Three-Star Copper Tower" ferment for a while." Xu Cihua shook his head and played with the teapot in his hand.

After saying this, he frowned and asked, "Where's Remy? Did you get lost back home? Why haven't you come back to work? "Samsung Copper Tower" is her project. Do you think I should help her now?" "

"There are so many mountains in Guizhou, and her home is in a ravine, so it's normal for her to get lost." Tong Shibang chuckled after hearing this.

"You call her to urge her. Work is work. Tell her not to get upset. It's already the eighth day of the Lunar New Year and it's time to go to work."

"Okay, I'll contact her right away." After hearing this, Tong Shibang stood up and prepared to go out.

"You fight here, pay attention to your attitude." Seeing Tong Shibang about to go out, Xu Cihua stretched out his hand to stop him.

In fact, this is still a PUA routine, including making Tong Shibang feel sick before. Remy is also part of the PUA routine.

He knew that even if he reminded Tong Shibang to pay attention to his attitude, Tong Shibang's words would not sound pleasant.

Therefore, Xu Cihua asked him to make calls here so that he could take the phone and be a good person.

Here Xu Cihua is displaying his methods of imperial control.

The same is true for Xu Chuan, but his methods are different.The first step to start work in the new year is to personally send out red envelopes to all his employees.

First, the side of the Hillside River and the Shuangmuchuan River, and finally the side of my studio.

At this time, Cai Meng was so happy that he took a thick red envelope from Xu Chuan's hand.

However, after two minutes of fun, Cai Meng opened his mouth and said worriedly to Xu Chuan: "Brother Chuan, the direction of public opinion over "Three Stars Copper Tower" is indeed a bit wrong."

"Isn't this something that has been expected?" Xu Chuan said with a smile when he heard this.

"I have expected it for a long time, but I am still a little worried that things are actually going in this direction. If this matter is not handled well, problems can easily arise." Cai Meng said.

Her concerns are not without reason.

The production cycle of a science fiction movie is really too long. The estimated production cycle of "Wandering Blue Star" is two years.

In other words, Xu Chuan may not be able to get rid of the doubts he is facing now until two years later.In the context of two years of questioning, there are too many articles that can be done.

"Don't worry, I know it well." Xu Chuan reached out and patted Cai Meng's shoulder to comfort him.

"By the way, Brother Chuan, do you think this matter has anything to do with Ziyi Media?" Cai Meng said suddenly without knowing what he thought of.

From God's perspective, we naturally know that this matter was Ziyi Media's plan from the beginning.

However, the people who came forward in this matter from beginning to end were truly genuine Disney people.

Remy was just plotting from behind.Therefore, neither Xu Chuan nor Cai Meng can confirm whether this matter has anything to do with Ziyi Media.

"Whether there is a relationship or not, it doesn't matter. What matters is whether this matter will develop as we expect."

"That's right, it's really not important." Cai Meng nodded when he heard this, "Brother Chuan, when do you think they will start hyping up actors?"

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Xu Chuan thought for a while and then said.

It was just as he said.

The next day, a piece of news appeared in front of everyone.

This news headline reads: [Li Fei and Wu Yunfei collaborate again, from "The Beginning" to "Samsung Copper Tower", from soft science fiction web drama to hard science fiction blockbuster]
