138: Nationwide Premiere
Although Han Wen was somewhat of a scholar, he wasn't particularly particular about appearances in his daily life. He would pay some attention to his image and demeanor in front of outsiders, but he was much more casual around his woman.
He and Teacher Yu didn't have a normal conversation from the beginning. Later, they got into more fun and he didn't take her words to heart at all: "When do you get off work? Let's go home together."
"Which home are you going back to? Yours or mine?" Teacher Yu asked with a smile.
"If you have the guts, come back to my house. If you don't, go back to yours. That's how considerate I am to your man, are you satisfied now?" Han Wen replied with a smile.
"No, I'd rather not. If I go home with you, I'm afraid my aunt will scold me. If I take you home, I'm also afraid my aunt will scold me." Teacher Yu shook her head: "Although I never thought of marrying you in this life, she can't be my mother-in-law and can't control me."
However, she is, after all, an elder, and I am the younger one. I must be polite, courteous, and respectful; I must not upset her.
I'll talk to these girls later and see what their attitude is. If it's okay, we'll sign them directly. If not, we'll think of another way.
Before I go abroad, I'll try to do some things for you. That will make you happy, and it will make me happy too.
"Okay." Han Wen nodded. "Then you go ahead with your work, I'm leaving."
"Take care, and don't bother seeing me off." Teacher Yu didn't stand on ceremony with him.
Han Wen left Teacher Yu's office, walked to his little yellow bug, opened the car door, and climbed inside.
It's a rare opportunity for Han Wen to get out of the film crew and relax, so he naturally wouldn't go back easily.
He didn't care whether the crew had any issues. If nothing happened, that would be best. If something did happen, Jiang Wen would naturally adjust the plans for him.
Now that he was at the film academy, Hanwen decided to drive to see his mother.
He's busy filming and stock trading these days, leaving early and returning late, constantly on the go, so he really doesn't have much time to spend with his mother.
Han Wen was lucky; when he arrived at Money Tree Films, his mother was in her office. He didn't even say hello and just went straight in.
"Mom, I've come to see you," he called out as he walked.
"Oh my, Wenwen, what brings you here today?" Han Qingyan was overjoyed to see her son.
"I went to the film academy to take care of some things, and I just happened to stop by to see you." Han Wen replied with a smile, "Mom, when will you be finished with your work so we can go home together?"
"Then you'll have to wait a while." Han Qingyan shook his head: "Wenwen, what are you suddenly going to the film academy for? Do you want to study acting or become a director? Weren't you studying screenwriting under Teacher Yu before?"
"No, it's not that. The academy just started classes, so I went to the acting department to see if there were any good prospects." Han Wen replied, then sighed, "Feifei is in Qilu, and Yaoyao is so busy that she doesn't come home at night. This Good Cabbage Culture Agency is almost dead in name only."
I'm planning to sign a few new employees to boost the company's popularity. We'll nurture them gradually; maybe one day they'll become a cash cow.
"Wenwen, you've thought this through carefully; it's definitely the right thing to do." Han Qingyan nodded and sighed, "Feifei is so silly, and how come Yaoyao is so clueless too?"
"She's famous all over China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia now. She's busy with all sorts of events and filming every day. Where would she have the energy to worry about good cabbage?" Han Wen sighed and explained, "Mom, I understand now."
Feifei and Yaoyao are good as actresses or stars. But they're absolutely not cut out to be bosses or run businesses.
They have absolutely no idea how to manage a company, and they're not cut out for business. So, I'll probably have to find a new leader for Good Cabbage.
Mom, you're practically a figure in the entertainment industry now. You have status and fame, and you're very close to people in the circle. If you meet someone suitable, remember to keep an eye out.
This matter must be resolved sooner rather than later. We can't delay, or this company might have to close down.
"Wenwen, you're right. Actually, I've noticed this situation before."
Before, I thought you were just starting a talent agency for Fei Fei to play around with. So, I didn't pay much attention.
Now that you're serious about building the company, I naturally support you." Han Qingyan thought for a moment and nodded, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye out for you. If a suitable candidate comes up, we'll discuss and decide together."
"Thanks, Mom." Han Wen nodded.
In the days that followed, Han Wen was busy with work while also looking for a new leader for Good Cabbage Culture Brokerage.
Unfortunately, his interest didn't lie in running the company. Otherwise, he would have been personally overseeing things. Imagine how tempting it would have been to have rows of fresh, white cabbages around him.
He's not a rabbit; he doesn't eat the grass near his burrow.
He's a wolf; if he doesn't find a chance to ruin those little cabbages, he'll be letting down his little brother and wouldn't be a real man.
Before he knew it, some time had passed. Han Wen didn't receive any good news from Teacher Yu, but instead received news of the premiere of the TV series "Beijingers in New York".
The 21-episode TV series "Beijingers in New York," invested and produced by Yaoqianshu Film & Television, finally premiered on September 26th on CCTV-2 (Channel 2) during prime time, meeting audiences nationwide.
These days, without cell phones and the internet, people's entertainment activities, besides reading newspapers, magazines, watching videos, and listening to songs, mainly consist of watching TV dramas.
In the era of black and white television, TV dramas were absolutely dominant, sometimes drawing huge crowds and having a nationwide impact.
You might lose money making movies, but you're guaranteed to make a fortune making television shows.
Because the fees for producing TV dramas are not cheap these days, TV stations make a profit. And there aren't many companies producing TV dramas, so there's a significant supply shortage.
Therefore, Han Wen initially set his sights on the TV series "Kyoto Chinese in New York".
Then, he invested in a series of other projects, including "Plum Blossom Trilogy: Between Water and Clouds," the family comedy "I Love My Family," and the martial arts epic "The White-Browed Hero."
Apart from "In the Heat of the Sun," which he is currently filming, his other projects are all long-running television series.
If all goes well, Jiang Wen's new film will become a model of both fame and fortune in China. Not only will it be a box office hit, but it will also win numerous awards.
That's why Han Wen changed his attitude and agreed to invest in and act in the movie.
Although the filming process is slow and the budget keeps increasing, Han Wen remains full of anticipation and hope.
Because this movie could really bring him unprecedented success, gains, and a sense of accomplishment.
