Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 192 190. Suffocation of happiness

Under the gray sky, the air pressure was so low that it made people breathless.

After Li Dabai followed Chen Li'an out of the CCTV building, she was still in a state of shock. Just when she went to deliver the film, she realized that her boss spent more than 20 million yuan to buy a five-second advertisement.

What is the concept of more than four million per second? Li Dabai calculated the salary Ji Fa paid himself and realized that he could never compare to CCTV's salary in one second.

"Teacher Chen, this is too exaggerated!" Li Dabai said with some doubts about life.

Chen Li'an looked at Li Dabai, who had never seen the world, and said, "Twenty million is nothing. The standard is more than sixty million, and next year it will probably be hundreds of millions."

Li Dabai was completely silent. In this era, such a number was out of reach in the eyes of a girl under twenty.

Not to mention Li Dabai was frightened, even Chen Meiren was frightened. After Chen Li'an asked Li Dabai to send him to Chen Meiren, he told her about it.

Chen Meiren counted on her fingers how many TV dramas she would have to invest in to earn back the more than 20 million yuan. Prime Minister Liu Luoguo was broadcast after New Year's Day as the opening drama. Now he is a household name and has broken the ratings.

Not counting Wanwan CTV, which has not yet been discussed, the second-round broadcast rights in the mainland alone have been sold for more than 10 million, and Chen Meiren has already received 2 million in return.

But compared with the 23 million from advertising, the money he earned was only a fraction, and the most important thing was Chen Li'an's money.

While Chen Meiren was shocked, she also thought of a question. With more than 20 million yuan in advertising, how much money could Chen Li'an and his uncle's factory make in a year?

It must be hundreds of millions! Didn't Chen Li'an tell her to invest casually? Is this called casual investment? ?

Then Chen Li'an is a billionaire?

Chen Meiren suddenly raised her head and looked at Chen Li'an. The emotions in her eyes gradually changed from shock to excitement to determination to move forward, and finally turned into tenderness and sweetness.

Chen Li'an's scalp was numb when he saw Beauty Chen. He really admired that Beauty Chen could change so many emotions in three seconds. If she was acting, she wouldn't be a god!

"Husband" Chen Meiren sat on Chen Li'an, hugged his neck and said coquettishly: "I want it."

Chen Li'an couldn't help but shudder when Beauty Chen called her husband. She had only called her husband in bed before, but now she couldn't help but attack him?

Chen Li'an swallowed and said, "What, it's broad daylight now, and besides, you'd better call me Li'an. I'm more used to it."

"No. I want it, husband!" Chen Meiren sat on Chen Li'an and rubbed it a few more times, water dripping from her beautiful eyes.

When Chen Li'an saw Beauty Chen like this, he simply didn't care and just hugged her and walked to the bedroom!

It is said that money and power are the best aphrodisiacs for men, and they are also the best aphrodisiac for women.

After Chen Li'an had been obsessed with her all afternoon, Chen Meiren lay on top of him and asked, "Honey, you are so rich and you still told me that you have no money. If I had known, I would have bought you that Mercedes-Benz worth over one million yuan."

Listening to Chen Meiren saying "husband", Chen Li'an felt extremely awkward, but after telling her not to change, Chen Li'an could only let it go. He smiled bitterly and said: "I really have no money, let alone a Mercedes-Benz worth more than one million, I Now I only have more than 40,000 yuan, so I can only buy a second-hand van, and it has to be an accident vehicle."

Looking at Chen Li'an's serious expression, Chen Meiren suddenly figured out in a flash of her mind that more than 20 million yuan had been spent on advertising. It was normal to have no money, but she had money, so she turned over and dug out the bottom of the bedside table. Passbook.

"Husband, now we still have more than two million, which we earned from investing in TV series." Chen Meiren put the bankbook in Chen Li'an's hand and said proudly: "Husband, take it to buy a car! You can buy two cars!"

Chen Li'an picked up the bankbook and flipped it over, then threw it to Chen Meiren and said: "You can keep it. The company is not a one-time deal. Keep it and continue investing in TV series. By the way, you can meet Zhang Guoli later and ask him if he has any ideas. If we make our own TV series, we can invest in it.”

"Zhang Guoli?" Chen Meiren asked curiously, holding the bankbook in her hand and fanning it twice: "Why do you need to ask him?"

Chen Li'an sat up with his hands and said: "I think he is a person with ideas. You can ask. Now that Liu Luoguo is popular, maybe he will have ideas."

"Then why don't you ask Li Bao? Oh, Mr. Li's character won't do such a thing." Chen Meiren nodded in approval, then thought of another possibility, and said to Chen Li'an: "Then why don't we make a TV series ourselves? Woolen cloth?"

It is too difficult to do it yourself. Whether it is funds or connections, Chen Li'an and Chen Meiren are inherently deficient. It is easy to make a TV series, but it is not that simple to sell it.

Why should the TV station buy your film? There are so many TV series produced every year, but you should never say that your film is good. Who sells films and doesn’t say so?

I know who you are, what? Do you really want to sell? It's not impossible. It's not easy to watch you. I want five thousand yuan per episode!

This is the result of having no connections and no strength. Chen Li'an and Chen Meiren still lack a lot.

Chen Li'an looked at the ambitious Chen Meiren and said, "I don't have the strength or the connections. If you invest now, you can take advantage of this opportunity to accumulate more contacts in the TV station and gain some experience."

Chen Meiren nodded obediently. She now discovered that although Chen Li'an was too lazy to take care of things, he made no mistakes in every decision he made.

Chen Meiren knew how Chen Li'an made his fortune. The money he made from art was not included. She knew that Chen Li'an had made millions by investing in Hong Kong before. After investing in a VCD factory, he could now spend tens of millions on advertising, allowing himself to Investing in Liu Luoguo also sold for a sky-high price.

With such an investment vision, Chen Meiren would naturally not doubt it, and decided to do whatever Chen Li'an asked her to do in the future.

There is one exception! You must work hard to conceive a child!

Otherwise, Chen Li'an's billions of assets would all be spent on other women. This is absolutely not okay! This is my son's!

Meiren Chen's determination was so firm that she pierced a few more holes in the small umbrella at home while Chen Li'an was taking a bath.

The New Year is coming soon, and the capital has become quiet, but the familiar pigeon whistle still sounds over the capital every morning.

In TV dramas, whenever there are aerial shots of alleys in the capital, there will be this sound. It has almost become as synonymous with the capital as the courtyard houses. You can hear this sound whenever you walk in the alleys of the capital. It is a unique symphony of the capital.

In the past few days, Chen Li'an has been kept in her yard by Meiren Chen in various ways. She is simply a annoying little goblin who is very good at rubbing people.

But I can’t leave today. I have to pack up and go home for the New Year.

It's been months since I went back to Zhushikou. Chen Li'an bought a bunch of New Year's goods and went back. You can't spend the New Year alone.

Chen Li'an came to the alley and saw the same scene as last year. He couldn't help but run and buy a bunch of firecrackers. However, before he could fight the children in the alley for 300 rounds, he was surrounded by all the people who came back from outside. The uncle was taken away.

In Chen Li'an's cabin, Uncle Qi was not in a good mood while smoking. Chen Li'an knew that Uncle Qi would go to the prison to visit his son at this time every year.

Chen Li'an couldn't help but sigh when he thought of his senior brother, who would have to stay there for another two years.

Uncle Qi smoked his dry cigarette, and after a while he said, "Bai Qing didn't come here this year?"

Chen Li'an: "I'm going back to my hometown. I left some time ago."

Uncle Qi was silent for a while and said, "You are already old now. It's almost time to consider getting married. That girl Bai Qing is nice. She even came here to give you something on New Year's Day."

"Yes, she is a good girl." Chen Li'an responded, but still did not answer the question of marriage.

Uncle Qi knocked the cigarette in his hand on the ground a few times and said, "You have an idea. I won't talk about you anymore. Don't let down this good girl."

Chen Li'an nodded, and then he was shocked to realize that he was at an age where he was being urged to get married.

It's so early to get married these days. It's so common to get married in your early twenties. It's not like the age to get married is later to be in your late twenties or late twenties.

This year's New Year is still very lively, but not as lively as last year. Maybe it's because there is one less person. Chen Li'an left on the fifth day of the new year.

If we stay any longer, the aunt in the courtyard will bring the girl to Chen Li'an's house for a blind date.

Chen Li'an had just arrived home and before he had even cleaned up, there was a knock on the door and Li Dabai's voice came from outside.

"Teacher Chen! Are you at home? I'm here to wish you a happy New Year!"

Chen Li'an looked at the rag in his hand, threw it on the table and ran to open the door.

"Come in!" Chen Li'an enthusiastically welcomed Li Dabai in.

Facing Chen Li'an who was suddenly so enthusiastic, Li Dabai was still a little unaccustomed. He put the gift in his hand on the table and said with a smile: "Happy New Year, Mr. Chen!"

"Happy New Year, have you had a good year?" Chen Li'an asked with a smile.

Li Dabai nodded and said, "It's not bad." It would be nice if he still had the lucky money.

As if he had read Li Dabai's thoughts, Chen Li'an went to the room, put a red envelope and handed it to her and said, "The New Year's money I gave you, I can't let you call me Teacher Chen so many times in vain."

"For me?" Li Dabai looked at the red envelope in Chen Li'an's hand in surprise, took it and said with a smile, "Thank you, Teacher Chen! You are the only one who gave me lucky money this year!"

Chen Li'an smiled and looked at Li Dabai and said, "Is Teacher Chen nice to you?"

"good!"

"Teacher Chen, I need your help. Can you help me?"

"help!"

"Okay! You are indeed a good comrade!" Chen Li'an picked up the rag on the table and put it in Li Dabai's hand and said, "Then I'll leave the cleaning to you!"

Li Dabai: "."

Looking at the dull Li Dabai, Chen Li'an reached out and patted her shoulder and said, "Do a good job. I'll go buy groceries and stay for lunch."

Li Dabai couldn't help but ask: "Do you still want me to cook it? Then don't buy the fish, I won't cook it."

"Huh?" Chen Li'an turned to look at Li Dabai and said, "Dabai, you have become smarter, you are very proactive, not bad! Then I won't buy fish."

I am very smart! Li Dabai made a face at Chen Li'an's back.

Chen Li'an, who came back from shopping for groceries, couldn't help but sigh that it would be better to have an assistant. Look how clean this room is!

"Dabai did a good job!" Chen Li'an shouted to Li Dabai who was cooking in the kitchen.

The only response to Chen Li'an was the sound of chopping ribs. It was obvious that Li Dabai was not in a good mood.

Li Dabai's face turned red while he was chopping the ribs vigorously. While chopping the ribs, he muttered in a low voice:

"Teacher Chen is so perverted."

"How could you take a photo like that?"

"And with so many women, they are all celebrities."

"But Teacher Chen's photos are beautiful. He is indeed an artist."

"Did I misunderstand Teacher Chen? That's human body art."

"Yeah! That must be it! That's art!"

After Li Dabai re-established his three views, he breathed out gently, put a smile on his face again, and began to cook seriously.

Li Dabai, who was feeling like a roller coaster, suddenly realized that his idol was different from what he thought. As an assistant, he would be under a lot of pressure in the future.

What if Teacher Chen asks me to be a mannequin for him? Do you want to agree? If you don't agree, will you be fired?

Chen Li'an picked up a piece of ribs, looked at the distracted Li Dabai and asked, "What are you thinking about? Why don't you eat it?"

"It's nothing." Li Dabai whispered back while grabbing the rice.

When Chen Li'an looked at Li Dabai like this, he thought she was unhappy because she was working for him, and thought that he should not let her do housework for him in the future.

She is an assistant, not a nanny.

After lunch, Li Dabai cleaned up, said hello to Chen Li'an and ran away, fearing that Chen Li'an would ask her to be a mannequin in the next second.

Little girls always have inexplicable imaginations. Chen Li'an couldn't imagine what Li Dabai was thinking, so he just thought she was afraid that he would let her work.

The Chinese New Year is over, and Chen Li'an's vacation is over, and it's time to start work. He also has inspiration for things he had never figured out about his previous sculptures.

Made now just in time for filming in March.

When he came to the studio, Chen Li'an met Bo Qing. Bai Qing came back from his hometown in the sixth grade of junior high school, but he didn't seem to be in a good mood after he came back. He was probably urged to get married like Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an didn't ask about the specific situation. Bai Qing would tell him if he wanted to. If he didn't want to, there was no point in asking.

The two people were sitting side by side in the studio. In front of Chen Li'an was a newly formed human sculpture, and Bo Qing was sitting next to him painting.

Behind them, Li Dabai, who was doing nothing, looked at their backs and couldn't help feeling envious.

"It's a really good match."

Li Dabai looked at them with his chin propped up, wondering why these two people were not together, even though they were so suitable and had such a tacit understanding.

Isn’t it said that lovers will eventually get married? I really don’t understand what the artist is thinking.

Even a sculpture has a weird shape. You might say it is a human being, and it is extremely twisted. You might say it is not a human being. It has hands and feet, but why are its feet made of knives?

It seems so strange. Li Dabai feels that his artistic accomplishment needs to be improved. Let alone creation, it is difficult to understand.

"It's not easy to be an artist's assistant." Li Dabai looked through the art history book he bought boredly, trying to make himself worthy of the job of an artist's assistant.

Otherwise, if you go out with Teacher Chen in the future, you will not understand anything they talk about, which will be very embarrassing.

Chen Li'an and Bai Qing worked in the studio for many days, and the sculpture was not completed until the school started.

"Teacher Chen, do you want to go to school today? School has started." Li Dabai ran over and asked.

Chen Li'an put down the carving knife in his hand, casually picked up the rag next to him and wiped his hands and said, "Go, wait for me outside, I'll wash my hands and go out."

"Oh well!"

After Li Dabai went out, Chen Li'an looked at Bo Qing's painting next to him and said, "Your painting is a bit depressing."

Bai Qing's painting may depict his family's New Year's Eve dinner, with a family of three sitting at the table. However, the side of the daughter near the father is bright and full of laughter, but the side near the mother is particularly depressing, as if the daughter can't breathe.

The three people formed a strange circle. The part between mother and father was extremely ordinary and peaceful, like two strangers.

Bai Qing said without raising his head: "I just paint casually, and I need to vent my inner emotions."

"Tsk, I really want to have a meal at your house and experience it." Chen Li'an couldn't help but said.

Bai Qing looked back at him and said calmly: "Okay, I'll take you back next time and let you feel what it means to be suffocated by happiness."

Chen Li'an: "." But the suffocation of happiness is so appropriate. It was the same feeling when I was besieged by the aunts in the courtyard and wanted to go on a blind date.

However, Chen Li'an became more and more curious about Bo Qing's mother. What kind of god could force Bo Qing to be like this.

Be sure to try it out if you have the chance in the future!

On the way to Nortel, Li Dabai peeked at Chen Li'an several times and finally couldn't help but asked: "Teacher Chen, why aren't you and Sister Bai Qing together?"

Chen Li'an didn't answer Li Dabai and just said calmly: "Drive well and stay out of adults' affairs."

Who do you think is young? Li Dabai snorted unconvinced, "I've grown up again after the New Year, okay? Teacher Chen is not careful at all!"

Bang~

I don't know if the car hit a brick, and it jolted violently. From the corner of his eye, Chen Li'an accidentally caught sight of Li Dabai, who was shaking up and down. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart, there was only a wrong name. What a nickname!

I wonder if there will be a suffocating feeling coming over my face. I’m curious.

Chen Li'an felt that his experience was so lacking that he had never even experienced the feeling of suffocation that came over him.

"Teacher Chen?" After the car arrived at the entrance of Nortel, Li Dabai parked the car and looked at Chen Li'an who was in a daze and shouted: "Teacher Chen, we are already here."

"Oh, then you go back first. You don't need to pick me up tonight." Chen Li'an came to his senses, opened the door and got out of the car.

After Chen Li'an got off the bus, Li Dabai looked down, his face turned slightly red, and he couldn't help but muttered: "Teacher Chen is indeed a pervert!"
