Chapter 618 620, Do We Want This Money or Not?

2001, National Day

A major event happened on the first day of the National Day holiday. In order to fulfill the last wish of Mr. Ishihara, the former governor of Tokyo, Sun Hao, a famous mainland director, specially made a cast-iron kneeling statue of him and his wife in front of the Jinling Monument.

The installation ceremony of the kneeling statue was attended by Sun Hao's personal assistant Li Xue, so it was much more low-key.

But even so, this behavior immediately aroused protests and negotiations from the Japanese side. The Japanese side bluntly stated that Ishihara's phone recording was forged and was suspected of being grafted together.

As a result, Ms. Li Xue quickly handed over the evidence carrier Maimang 2 mobile phone to the relevant state departments for testing. The test results showed that although the phone recording was edited to remove a short section due to privacy concerns, it was not forged at all and its content was true. Believable!

Affected by this patriotic act, the Maimang 2 mobile phone, which was launched during the National Day, sold more than 4 million units in the mainland on October 1st alone.

According to the analysis of the marketing director of Gome Electrical Appliances, this is because Damai Technology did not distribute goods in time, and the influence of the [Ishihara Kneeling Statue Installation Ceremony] was underestimated. Otherwise, it is possible for Maimang 2 to sell more than 6 million units on the National Day.

Product sales were strong, and the headquarters of Damai Technology was moved from Xiamen to Beijing. Yu Chengdong very sincerely invited Sun Hao to the company to cheer up the employees...

However, Sun Hao firmly refused.

My buddy is an actor and director and knows nothing about business operations, so I won’t cause any trouble for you.

On the afternoon of October 4, the nominations for the 38th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards were announced. The film "17-Year-Old Bicycle" directed by domestic young director Wang Xiaoshuai entered the competition and won a total of awards including Best Film and Best Director. of six nominations.

After the nominations were announced, Wang Xiaoshuai carried two bottles of Maotai and took Gao Yuanyuan, the female lead in the crew, to No. 15 Shoubi Hutong, and with a very sincere attitude invited Sun Hao to Taipei to participate in this year's film as a film producer. of the Golden Horse Awards Ceremony.

In this regard, Sun Hao still refused.

Sorry, on December 8, when the 38th Golden Horse Awards Ceremony is held, I will almost enter the defense stage of my master's thesis, and there will be no time to pass.

However, Director Wang, don't worry, as the actual investor of "17-Year-Old Bicycle", I really don't care whether the movie wins awards or not.

Then... Director Sun, Xiao Gao wants to join the cast of "Journey to the West: Lion and Camel Ridge" to play a role. Do you think it's possible? Before leaving, Wang Xiaoshuai revealed the second purpose of his visit today.

Director Wang, to be honest, "Shituoling" is terrible because Miss Gao's appearance is too good and her facial expressions and acting skills have not been fully exercised! However, I can recommend her to try out on the set of "Crazy Stone"...

"Crazy Stone" will start filming in April or May next year, which is just in time and will not delay Ms. Gao's studies at the School of Labor Relations.

Thank you, thank you Director Sun Hao!

For the first time in the entertainment industry, she was able to chat face to face with such a famous film director, and was personally recommended by him. Gao Yuanyuan's eyes were filled with gratitude!

October 8th is the first working day after the National Day holiday.

Bona Pictures, Shiba Cultural Agency Co., Ltd., and Beijing Satellite TV held a joint press conference at the Beijing Hotel.

At the press conference, they jointly announced the official launch of the talent show variety show "Actors Please Take Your Place."

According to reports, the program has invited a total of 108 young actors and art school students at home and abroad to participate in the recording. Those who perform well will have the opportunity to participate in the largest-invested movie in China's history, "Journey to the West: Lion and Camel Ridge"...

There are three instructors in this variety show: Sun Hao’s former royal photographer Ning Hao, Sun Hao’s current royal photographer Gu Changwei, and the famous mainland director and actor Jiang Wen. The acting taster is a beauty from the Beijing Film Academy. Teacher Xu Jinglei and famous writer Wang Shuo served.

In fact, when he heard that he was invited to participate in the recording of a variety show, Jiang Wen, who had just finished filming on the "Hero" crew, refused to do it.

Coaching other people's acting skills on TV, haha... Come on, no actor can stand this serious temper.

If the fight hadn't started on the spot, the show's producers would have been on a high note.

But Jiang Wen, who is extremely self-aware, immediately gave up as soon as he received Sun Hao's "threatening" call...

[Brother, I think it is really inappropriate for you to play the role of Guanyin Bodhisattva in "Journey to the West". 】

[It’s appropriate…, why isn’t it appropriate?

You must know that Guanyin Bodhisattva is originally an unshaven male!

Hmm... Sun Hao, how about this? How many episodes of "Actors please take your seats", senior brother, can you help me record it? 〕

At 9:45 pm, the three-month weekly drama "Prison Break" finally came to its finale.

According to an instant message posted on the web by Yahoo News;

The finale of "Prison Break", the average ratings of Taiwan's Dongsen TV drama channel reached an astonishing 67.3, breaking the historical record of 62.1 set by "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", the highest in history!

On Hong Kong Island, TVB TV station has an even higher average ratings, reaching an unprecedented 73%, which means that there are more than 6 million people in Hong Kong. At the final moment of "Prison Break", more than 4 million people were sitting in front of the TV. Enjoy this suspenseful crime drama.

In South Korea, SBS, the average ratings is 61.7.

In Japan, Fuji TV was affected by the controversy over the Kneeling Statue of Ishihara. To some extent, Sun Hao was partially boycotted, but the average ratings of "Prison Break" still reached 35.6.

In Vietnam…

In Thailand…

In Malaysia…

In Singapore…

…

Due to the sensitivity of the subject of "Prison Break", although mainland television colleagues are jealous of the popularity of this TV series in Asia, they still dare not start a remake or directly shoot a sequel to the TV series.

But there are always smart people in this world.

Wang Changtian from Guangxing Media thinks that the "Prison Break" TV series is very interesting. Although it cannot be remade in the mainland as a CD drama, it can be turned into a Republic of China drama.

An underground party member was unfortunately caught and imprisoned by the Japanese army, so he decided to escape from the prison and fled with his fellow inmates who had ideals and fighting spirit...

Therefore, Wang Changtian contacted Sun Hao through Wang Jinghua and wanted to buy the rights to remake "Prison Break" in the mainland, but Sun Hao still said the same thing, please contact Yinghuang Entertainment.

Time flies, time flies!

Time came to November 2001 in a blink of an eye. Although it was the beginning of the month, the weather in Beijing was a little cold.

7 o'clock in the morning

Jiang Chao put on his coat and hurried out of the rental house. When he passed the Jinling soup dumpling shop downstairs, he grabbed a bag of buns, then habitually threw down five yuan and hurried towards Run over to the bus stop.

To get to the Advertising Industrial Park from here, you have to take bus 116, but bus 116 is a bit tricky. Even during peak hours, it runs every half an hour.

If unfortunately, the seven o'clock bus cannot be crowded, then Jiang Chao will only get one result that day: he will be late and be fined 50 yuan each time!

Fortunately, I was lucky today. Jiang Chao got on the bus smoothly, and nothing happened to the bus. For example, every time it turned a corner, the speed of the bus was a very standard five kilometers per hour...

After getting out of the car, I quickly ran into Jiumu Advertising Company, and then checked in and signed in.

But when Jiang Chao walked into the work area, he was a little confused.

What's going on?

What about people in the company?

You know, at 7:58 usually, everyone is sitting at their workstations and working hard.

Just as I was wondering, a roar came from the direction of the conference room...

"Let me ask you, do we want this money or not?!"
