Chapter 258 I'll give you an offer you can't refuse
"5 billion box office celebration party! Bai Youlou becomes the country's top commercial director!"

"Many celebrities congratulated Bai Youlou for breaking the record."

“Liu Manli: In my heart, he is the best director.”

"."

At the celebration party for the 5 billion box office, Bai Youlou couldn't keep a low profile even if he wanted to, because his strength simply didn't allow it.

Moreover, there were so many "heroes" coming to the celebration banquet that day, and various bigwigs from inside and outside the circle showed up to show their support. The gold content of this show of fame and fortune was extremely high.

With the support of various media, the momentum is naturally very huge.

Look, even Liu Manli couldn't hold it in and said something naughty in front of the media.

The best director?

What's great about it?
There really was a media outlet that asked this kind of question. Fortunately, Liu Manli didn't blurt out something about the bed. She was experienced, and when she realized she was a little too excited and started to talk without thinking, she immediately stopped herself.

There were actually quite a few people who were "talking nonsense" that night, but not everyone's nonsense was reported by various media like Liu Manli's.

Some young celebrities were ignored even when they proposed to Bai Youlou in front of the media.

When the fireworks fell, Bai Youlou didn't feel suddenly cold.

The 5 billion box office is there, even if it's used as firewood, it can keep him warm for many days.

However, after "Dying to Survive" passed the 5 billion mark, Bai Youlou no longer had to pay attention to the box office of this thing.

Anyway, it can't be 6 billion, so it doesn't matter how much more there is.

To be honest, it would be better if it was less, just a little over 5 billion would be enough.

Leave some room to break this record in the future.

Raising the ceiling too high all of a sudden is not conducive to your struggle.

However, according to Bai Youlou's estimation, this is probably the ceiling of the current film market.

Unless some new technology emerges in the future and changes the movie-watching ecosystem again, there may be a little more high-grossing movies, but it will be really difficult to break the box office ceiling again.

Maybe the record created by Bai Youlou this time can be maintained for more than ten years.

Now he participates in more official interviews, or simply attends various seminars.

Liu Manli has already begun actively organizing "tourism".

After confirming that she would be the centerpiece of the show, this woman immediately burst into great enthusiasm.

For traveling!
Even if she travels in the name of recording a show, it is a very happy thing for her.

He even went to Zhang Xiaorong's house in person to take her away and discuss travel matters with her.

Oh yes, I don’t know how Liu Manli did it, she actually invited An Luning.

Bai Youlou guessed that Liu Manli didn't invite her specifically, but An Luning happened to be with Zhang Xiaorong these two days and she knew about the show.

This little girl An Luning has always been very willful.

He has a kind of "I never care whether my friends are rich or not, because none of them are as rich as me anyway" attitude.

Maybe all the rich second generation are like this~
Show? She thought it was fun so she joined.

Previously, this girl specially participated in a program similar to Escape Room, but she was scared to death and cried. She was originally planning to be a permanent member, but she ran away after participating in one episode.

Bai Youlou has heard a lot of similar stories from Sister Hong.

The main focus is to have fun.

This time the program has reached another level. It is said that the early investment promotion went exceptionally smoothly. As soon as the names of Liu Manli, An Luning and Zhang Xiaorong came up, various brands paid for them readily.

During this process, Liu Manli still did not give up the idea of ​​fooling Bai Youlou.

But this "old woman" is very bad. She doesn't come to fool people herself, but instigates Zhang Xiaorong and An Luning to do it.

Zhang Xiaorong only asked Bai Youlou once, and after making sure that he was not interested, she stopped bothering him.

But this girl An Luning is stubborn and stubborn.

Since I'm free anyway, I might as well harass Bai Youlou for a while.

"Come on, come on~ Let's go traveling together, it's so much fun!"

"Even if I die right here today or jump off the building, I will never carry bags for you women!" Bai Youlou said in a resolute tone, leaving no room for negotiation.

"What if I can be your bag girl?" An Luning asked in a very servile manner.

"If this is filmed, I will be scolded to death online."

Bai Youlou said that he could indeed let the girl carry his bag, but there was no need to do it in front of the camera.

Moreover, even if the program was recorded by their own people and they didn't have to edit these things out, Bai Youlou felt that there was no need to cause them trouble with the material.

Those who have held the "big scissors" can empathize with this aspect.

"Let's get ready to go, the 5 billion dollar director~"

"Who's talking?" An Luning on the other end of the phone felt that he heard a girl's voice and asked hurriedly.

"My company's front desk."

Bai Youlou replied calmly, fooling the girl, then hung up the phone and looked at Jiang Yuanchu.

Jiang Yuanchu was very understanding and helped Bai Youlou carry his bag. He said with a smile, "Master, let's go~"

Right!

This is the way Bai Youlou likes to travel.

But Jiang Yuanchu seems to like it very much. The two of them have exactly opposite interests, which makes them complementary.

With his slippers dangling down and nothing in his hands except a cup of milk tea, this is what Mr. Bai looks like when he is traveling.

Jiang Yuanchu was "fully armed", carrying a bag on her back, which contained all kinds of things for girls, from sunscreen to toilet paper. She also had a small shoulder bag on her waist, which contained her and Bai Youlou's ID cards, as well as a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.

In fact, she doesn't need to bring so many things with her when she goes out, and she doesn't need to carry them herself. The reason why she looks like this is mainly because Jiang Yuanchu enjoys the feeling of traveling.

If I don’t have any bags, it will feel like I’m just running around for a promotion, and it won’t feel like traveling.
-
Two weeks later.

A five-star hotel abroad.

Bai Youlou dealt with some things over the phone, listened to Lao Zhou's complaints, and then finished his work for the day.

There is no other way. I can't completely ignore the company when I go out to play.

Moreover, he ran away, and another capable person, Liu Manli, also came out to record the show. Then Lao Zhou, one of the producers of "Dying to Survive", was in trouble.

Various meetings and seminars that were originally required for Bai Youlou and Liu Manli to attend had to be taken up by him and Xiao Wu.

If the director and producer run away, then the assistant director and another producer will take over.

Fortunately, it was only September now, and Xiao Wu's "Lost in Thailand" would not be released until the Lunar New Year holiday. Before that, there was plenty of time to finish the post-production of the movie, and by the way, I could also help Bai You with the rooftop work.

However, in addition to these, Xiao Wu also reported something to Bai Youlou.

"What the hell, Liu Manli is looking for you? Shouldn't this woman be traveling around the world with a tour group?" Bai Youlou asked confusedly.

"I don't know about that. Anyway, Ms. Liu said that she has a project and wants me to participate in it. I think what she meant was that she wanted me to be her assistant director."

Cow breaking!

Bai Youlou slapped his thigh. Could it be that this woman Liu Manli was trying to steal his girl?
If you can't poach Bai, then poach Bai's "disciple"?
With a snap, Jiang Yuanchu glared at him helplessly, could he pat his thigh? !

Fortunately, Bai Youlou's attention was focused on the phone call with Xiao Wu, but his disobedient hand still considerately rubbed the girl's thigh.

Jiang Yuanchu ignored him and didn't interrupt him while he was talking on the phone. He curled up his legs and started painting his toenails.

After finishing the nail polish, I heard Bai Youlou and Xiao Wu chattering to Liu Manli over the phone, which really made me happy.

He reached out and poked Bai Youlou, "I know about this."

"Ok?"

"This movie has already been approved in our company. President Liu is the director himself. He is going to make a youth film and asked me if I want to be the leading actress."

Bai Youlou was a little surprised. He thought Liu Manli was joking with him.

Come on for real!

Wow, there are directors in every profession.

There is really no threshold to becoming a director.

It can be considered a profession with a very high upper limit and a very low lower limit.

"Then will you be the leading actress?" Bai Youlou looked at Jiang Yuanchu curiously. It seemed that she had never acted in a play before.

Jiang Yuanchu spread his hands and seemed to be quite conflicted. "Probably not. I did have the idea of ​​trying, but my agent secretly told me the truth."

"What truth?"

"I don't have any acting experience, and I probably don't have any talent. And I'm facing Boss Liu, a new director who's a bad chess player. If the two sisters really fight side by side, we'll definitely win the Golden Mop next year."

"You are quite self-aware!" Bai Youlou was amused by this remark, but he also felt that it made sense.

Jiang Yuanchu also let out a snicker, "So, Nana tried so hard to compete with me, how could I not let her win once? The heroine is hers."

Nana is really like that. She has been picking on Jiang Yuanchu for years.

However, in this movie directed by Liu Manli herself, it is actually quite reasonable for Nanako to be the heroine.

Although Nanako is not very good, she is at least one of the top actresses in Manli Entertainment.

There are few reliable actors in their company.

I guess that movie will need a lot of external help by then.

"You're cheating on Nana again~"

"Who cheated her? Don't talk nonsense!"

Jiang Yuanchu glared at Bai Youlou and said, "There are uncertainties. Who said that movie will never be made?"

"How else can this be possible?" Bai Youlou asked curiously.

Could it be that Liu Manli is really some hidden genius director? If she doesn't make a move, it's fine, but once she does, she'll shock the entire industry?
"Looking for external help~"

Jiang Yuanchu was very direct and said that his boss was a person with good connections.

However, Bai Youlou is still not optimistic about this. Even though Liu Manli has great connections and can get a bunch of big-name stars to guest star, this trick has actually been overused. The audience is also a bit annoyed about counting the number of people in the cinema.

Who’s responsible for all the celebrity-filled platters in recent years?

Those who focus on Lunar New Year films all like to use this trick.

"No, the foreign players I'm talking about are not those," Jiang Yuanchu corrected.

"What is that? Me?"

"Yes, that's you!"

"Fuck."

Bai Youlou was a little confused. How could he possibly accompany Liu Manli to make a youth film?

"You can't say that. What if Mr. Liu offers you a condition that you can't refuse?" Jiang Yuanchu said.

"What's an offer you can't refuse?"

"Let me check the time. It's almost time, come~"

Jiang Yuanchu took Bai Youlou's hand and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in the suite's living room.

This floor-to-ceiling window faces the beach.

There is no need to say much about the scenery of the beach. Bai Youlou and Jiang Yuanchu have lived here for three days and are almost tired of the scenery.

"What are you looking at?"

There is nothing unusual outside the French window.
However, when Bai Youlou found that his hands were on Jiang Yuanchu's waist, he understood something.

No problem!
When you go out to play, you should be cool and bold!
The hotel where the two of them stayed was on a very high floor, and they were facing the sea. It was afternoon, and the sun was behind the hotel. Even if people below looked up, they could only see two blurry shadows at most.

Jiang Yuanchu seemed a little resistant at first, but after Bai Youlou started to do bad things, he seemed to think of something and started to cooperate actively.

It was gradually approaching evening. Jiang Yuanchu, who was leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window, subconsciously closed his eyes at first, but then quickly opened them and leaned against the window to look down.

"Why, is it more exciting to look at the people on the beach?"

“No hiss.”

It’s a bit exciting, but it’s not the most exciting part yet.

After a while, Bai Youlou discovered that something was wrong with Jiang Yuanchu!

Something was very wrong, and those few hits almost made Bai Youlou unable to hold back and he gasped several times.

"Hiss, what's wrong with you? Is there anyone watching us? Why are you reacting so strongly?!"

While Bai Youlou was enjoying himself, he was also worried that some crazy paparazzi might have followed him abroad.

The first thing he did was to put his arms around Jiang Yuanchu's waist and hold her away from the window.

It’s okay to have something exciting occasionally, but if someone really got caught photographing this, it would be so exciting!
In fact, Bai Youlou didn't do anything excessive at this time.

Even if someone noticed something was wrong from a distance, Jiang Yuanchu didn't take off his clothes while being pressed against the glass.

"Don't go, don't go, look!"

As a result, Jiang Yuanchu, who was carried away by Bai Youlou, became anxious and quickly pointed outside the window.

Looking in the direction she pointed, Bai Youlou was stunned for a moment, "There are so many people here?"

Looking down from above, there were about thirty people, many of whom were carrying cameras.

"They all seem to be Chinese. Are you excited because of this?"

It is easy to get excited when you meet someone who might know you when you are abroad. After all, if what Bai Youlou and Jiang Yuanchu just did at the window was filmed and posted online,
Even if Jiang Yuanchu didn't take off his clothes, their actions alone would have caused an uproar in public opinion.

The woman was bending over with her face pressed against the glass and her butt sticking out, while the man was doing horse stance behind her. Everyone knew what they were doing.

"Look carefully, those guys in front, do they look familiar to you?"

As Jiang Yuanchu spoke, he pulled the things that had escaped from him back to their original tracks.

When Bai Youlou took a closer look at her reminder, he took a deep breath.

Wow. Isn’t this the “tour group” led by Liu Manli!
