Are you crazy? The hero is delivering

Chapter 54

To be honest, the pressure on Qin Chong is still quite high, after all, his bet on "The Bank of the River" is too high.Not only did he bet his entire fortune, Hu Yue, Lin Fangfang, Gu Yarou, and even Lin Yiming, everyone was involved in it.Once this bet is lost, it will be beyond redemption.

Qin Chong himself also knew that this kind of thing depends on people and God, and there is no sure-win gamble in this world, but this time he really can't afford to lose.

The situation at Liu Mingyu's side was very bad. Li Yuan made up his mind to kill them all. The two elders of the Liu family were hospitalized one after another, and everything was on Liu Mingyu's shoulders.Qin Chong couldn't help with anything, he could only do some daily greetings, and then hung up the phone in a hurry, so as not to delay Liu Mingyu's work.

Luo Wei is also very busy. He is so busy every day that he can’t even see anyone. He only heard that he was going to the catwalk in the morning, and he sent back the show pictures and the street photos of the Champs Elysees in the middle of the night. Young people are full of energy. Even the shaft is not tired.

Fortunately, there is still Hera, which can somewhat adjust Qin Chong's mood.Walking through those familiar maps side by side every day, I will always forget the troubles in life for a short time, at least I will not feel lonely.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, Wang Songyuan suddenly called Qin Chong over and told him that "The Bank of the River" would be screened in advance.

Qin Chong was completely out of ideas: "Director Wang, the end of the year has just passed and the market is terribly cold. Is it appropriate for us to catch up at this time?"

"Do you know how many movies we shoot every year? Last year, the official statistics alone were close to [-]. Excluding animation, science and education, documentaries, and special films, there were nearly [-] feature films collectively. There are a lot of literary and artistic films. It can be heard when a stone is thrown into the water, and most of these literary and artistic films are just self-proclaimed art, and there is no splash." Wang Songyuan said frankly, "The audience of literary and artistic films is not many, usually It is not us who choose the schedule, but the schedule chooses us. Since we have the opportunity, we must cherish it."

"I understand." Qin Chong smiled wryly, and he understood what Wang Songyuan meant. This kind of film with a narrow audience is nothing more than the creator's self-indulgence. It should be thankful that it can be released, and what bicycle is needed.

"Qin Chong, do you estimate how much the box office can reach?"

"I'm inexperienced, so it's hard to guess. I hope to keep my capital and make a small profit. If I'm more optimistic, it's estimated to be 4000 to [-] million."

"Don't you want the box office to exceed [-] million?"

"There are only one or two literary films with a box office of over 5000 million a year, and the rest are all under [-] million. Ideals are ideals, don't we still have to combine reality."

"Hahaha, it's true to combine reality, I still hope you can go further. "River Bank" is quite creative in showing it in a comedy way. I have watched the sample with several producers and directors, and I think You have great potential, and the next step is to let you try directing commercial films."

Qin Chong was flattered: "Director Wang, I don't even know how to thank you... I'm under a lot of pressure, and I'm really afraid that I'll let you down.”

"It's okay. I've already arranged the screening meeting. Just do your part well."

After Qin Chong came out, he stood in the cold wind for a while before he recovered.

He knows in his heart that the low box office performance of domestic literary films also shows that literary films are still in the middle and lower reaches of the domestic film market, and for the "large volume" domestic literary films, the market environment with increasing polarization is not optimistic.Wang Songyuan really set him up too high all of a sudden, which made him feel swayed, and he couldn't find his way for a while.

Qin Chong hasn't seen Liu Mingyu recently, so he misses him somewhat.After making a few calls, the line was busy, and I could guess that Liu Mingyu was still busy in the company, so after a little hesitation, he went to the headquarters of Wanke.

Even though Liu Mingyu is no longer an absolute authority, Qin Chong still has the "privilege" to enter and exit freely.The large conference room on the second floor was open, and a bunch of people were sitting in it, talking in low voices.Li Yuan opened the door and came out, just bumping into Qin Chong.

Qin Chong immediately became embarrassed, not knowing how to greet her.Fortunately, Li Yuan raised her eyes to look at him, pretending that he was a stranger, and just passed by without saying a word.

Qin Chong poked his head and looked inside, but Liu Mingyu was not there.

"Is it you who is making trouble behind? What the hell are you trying to do!"

Qin Chong just opened the office door a crack when he heard Liu Mingyu lose his temper inside.

"This is not playing a game. If you play it off, you won't have a chance to start again... Our game is over! It's over!"

Liu Mingyu would go crazy from time to time in front of Qin Chong, but he had never seen him so annoyed by other people.

As soon as Qin Chong entered, Liu Mingyu hung up the phone directly.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds before Liu Mingyu finally suppressed his anger: "Why did you come here without saying hello?"

"I want to say hello, but your phone has been disconnected." Qin Chong thought for a while, "Who were you calling just now? Why are you so angry?"

"It's a business matter."

"Aren't the people related to your business sitting on the second floor right now? They're playing tricks and playing games, and it doesn't sound like a serious talk..."

"What are you doubting?" Liu Mingyu suddenly frowned, "Did you come here just to quarrel with me!"

"Why did you have such a big reaction?" Qin Chong was dumbfounded by his yelling, "You and Li Yuan had to quarrel on the phone upstairs and downstairs, how fresh!"

"Li Yuan?" Liu Mingyu was stunned for a second, then laughed, "Who told you it was Li Yuan?"

Qin Chong became even more worried: "Apart from Li Yuan, what else did you do to die?"

Liu Mingyu reached out and hugged him: "The worst thing in my life is liking you."

"I like your potato skin!" Qin Chong was afraid of being seen, so he quickly pushed him away, "Let's go, let's go."

Liu Mingyu looked sad: "Why are you still angry? I really haven't seen anyone who holds more grudges than you. Once angry, there will be a cold war, and once the cold war lasts for several days, no matter how I coax you, it will be useless."

"Can I be angry if you don't recruit me? You stop annoying me and come to apologize again. There is nothing wrong with it."

Liu Mingyu laughed again, put his face on his shoulder, and hugged him tightly: "Qin Chong, I actually like seeing you angry. The more angry you are, the more you care about me."

"Liu Mingyu, you are really sick. You don't believe what I told you, and you have to prove it by dying."

"Because it doesn't matter if you have me or not, but I can't live without you."

"When will you try it? I'll see if you can live. Hahaha...Forget it, don't try." Qin Chong laughed a few times before he couldn't stop laughing. It was a joke to others, but Liu Mingyu really could A person who kills himself.

Liu Mingyu hugged him and didn't speak, and it took a long time before he said: "I want to sell Wanke's shares completely."

"You're crazy!" Qin Chong was stunned, "Wanke is your parents' hard work all their lives, if you just quit like this, it doesn't mean that they are giving up their hard work to others!"

"If you can't break it, you can't build it. Since it's everywhere, it's better to break it clean and start from scratch."

No wonder the group of people on the second floor looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, and Li Yuan's expression was not good-looking, so it was like this.Liu Mingyu is such an extreme person, if you make him unhappy, he will make everyone else unhappy; if you want to strangle him, he will die with you.

As soon as Qin Chong opened his mouth, Liu Mingyu added: "Don't persuade me, I've already thought about everything."

"I didn't intend to persuade you." Qin Chong sighed, "Have you found the way out?"

"No. I'll throw away the equity first, and then reconsider what to do after cashing out."

"You are really... okay." Qin Chong held back, and decided not to throw cold water on him when he was unlucky, "When you can't go on, I will be your back."

After being tired for a long time, Qin Chong remembered his business before leaving: "In a few days, the screening of "River Bank" will be held. I want you to go with me."

"So soon?" Liu Mingyu nodded immediately, "Remind me when the time comes, I'm afraid I'll forget it."

"Don't rush into Wanke's matter, take it easy, maybe there will be another turning point."

"Understood, this is my business, you don't need to worry about it." Liu Mingyu didn't seem to want to mention this, but simply said, "Just concentrate on your art, and I will come to support you at the screening of."

"Okay." Qin Chong didn't know what else to say, don't look at Liu Mingyu as if nothing happened at the moment, Wan Ke is gone, it must be a storm on his parents' side.From the domineering president who called the wind and rain to now leaving the stage sadly, he must have had a lot of pressure and psychological gap.

Qin Chong made a special trip to share his joy with him, but the incident at the Dianyinghui was nothing compared to that of Liu Mingyu, even though he felt uncomfortable, he finally held back.

"Surprise!"

As soon as Qin Chong entered the door, he heard the sound of large fireworks bursting, and he was shocked.The moment the lights came on, he saw colorful broken flowers floating to every corner of the room, and suddenly exploded with anger: "Luo Zhengqi! What are you doing!"

"Help you celebrate!" Luo Wei didn't realize that Dapeng spread his wings on the verge of danger, and stuffed Bai into his arms while buckling the crown on his head, "Come here quickly! I bought a cake and Champagne!"

"Celebrate? Celebrate what?"

"Isn't "Riverside" going to be screened? Your brainchild is about to be shown on the big screen, and you're not excited at all!"

"Whether I'm happy or not is my business, what are you making trouble with?" Qin Chong's attention was completely attracted by the broken flowers all over the floor, "Look at the colorful flowers here, and many of them are floating under the cabinet It's..."

"I know, I know, don't you just have a cleanliness? I'll clean it later! Can't I clean it?" Luo Wei hastily pushed the cake out, "I'm just happy for you now, and my brother will be happy in the future." You are a famous director! I am also responsible for this, and I am also proud of the box office!"

"You're holding back!" Qin Chong was so depressed that his Northeast accent came out, "It's okay if you don't say it, but when I mention it, my pressure will be even greater."

"It's okay to be stressed, it's none of my business anyway." Luo Wei smiled and said, "Hurry up and make a wish and blow out the candles!"

Qin Chong laughed angrily: "What a wish to make, it's not a birthday!"

"Whatever it is, hurry up, the candles are almost burnt out! Can you make a wish and blow out the candles before getting entangled! Hurry up! Oh, it's too late, let's make a wish that "River Bank" will explode, and the box office will be a hit! "

Qin Chong was angry and funny: "Hey, why did you even make a wish for yourself! Can this kind of wish come true!"

"Why can't it come true? Have you forgotten that there is still one birthday wish I lent you? Use it at this time, it will definitely work!" Luo Wei puffed up his cheeks, and with a sound, the candles were all extinguished, and then Clap your hands yourself, "Brother Chong, clap your hands! Clap your hands!"

Qin Chong helplessly clapped his hands, Luo Wei really had the atmosphere, obviously there were only two people and a cat, he could really make a fuss like the whole company was having a party.

"Brother Chong, I've been hungry for too long, so I'll eat first. Do it yourself, you're welcome!"

"This is my house, who is being polite to whom!" Qin Chong was completely helpless. He lowered his head and saw Bai Ge approaching him, and shouted again under his throat, "Luo Zhengqi, why are you feeding whatever you catch? Don't give the cat cake!"

Luo Wei immediately withdrew his hand: "Brother Chong, don't be so sad, I was just teasing you. Don't worry, I have a koi physique, so many things have passed before, this time "River Bank" It will definitely stand out and sell well at the box office!"

"Your koi is obviously man-made." Qin Chong complained a few words, and couldn't help but began to scold again, "Don't keep taking cakes for dinner, it's not healthy at all, you should order a takeaway."

"Is takeaway healthy?"

"You bastard...then what do you want to eat?"

"Then I want fried rice with eggs."

"I think you look like fried rice with eggs!" Qin Chong rolled up his sleeves while cursing, "Your uncle, the pot is full of fragments of fireworks!"

"Don't worry, I'll wait for you!" Luo Wei lay flat on the sofa.

At the moment when the hot oil and eggs burst into a strong oily aroma, Qin Chong couldn't help but turn his head.

Luo Wei lay sprawled on the sofa, drooling while sleeping, and Bai Ke lay motionless on his stomach, fiddling with his paws.The cake was lying on the table in a mess, the champagne that had been forgotten was stuffed next to the sofa, the fragments of fireworks were all over the floor, and it was a mess inside and out.

The air was warm, mixed with the sweet scent of candles and the milky scent of cake, which made him feel at ease for no reason.
