Chapter 321 A cup of tea and a pack of cigarettes, sitting all day
In the next few days, Chen Yuan didn’t do anything else but stayed at home tinkering with scripts. While he still had some free time, he tried to restore as many high-quality scripts as possible.

As for the amusement park, Chen Li is in charge.

Chen Ming and his father are also in the fish pond, and as for the giant silver carp and bighead carp pond, they just need to use the remote control from time to time to control the profit and loss balance.

As for the online movie, Qin Fen and Xie Di are in charge, and Wang Tao is also in charge of the decoration, so there is no need to worry about it.

Wang Tao’s efficiency remained high and he completed the decoration in just over two days, and even completed some scene settings.

Wang Tao will never back down when it comes to construction, but recruiting staff is not so smooth. It is easy to find staff, but it is difficult to find actors.

Although online movies are full of violent, vulgar, thriller-like elements, and the quality requirements are far lower than those on the big screen, Chen Yuan pursues quality.

Moreover, Qin Fen also has certain requirements for his directorial debut, so he naturally cannot hire a complete amateur.

“Tomorrow is the 31st, and we can’t figure out the cast. I’m afraid it will have to be delayed until after the holidays. It will be twice as difficult to launch before the Spring Festival.” Qin Fen, who was worried about the actors, called Chen Yuan at nearly midnight and made a suggestion.
“Ghost, why don’t you play the leading role? You wrote the script, so you must have a good grasp of the plot. And your body shape is not bad either, so you will definitely be suitable.”

“roll.”

Chen Yuan, who was tinkering with the script, sent a warm greeting.

“I’m telling you the truth, bro. If you want a certain quality, you definitely need some professionalism. Now we haven’t found any professional actors, so we’re stuck at the first step. The subsequent filming, production, and release will all have to be postponed. Is it possible to release it before the Spring Festival?”

Qin Fen’s helpless smile sounded more like crying.

There is nothing he can do.

To meet Chen Yuan’s requirements, time is tight and the task is heavy. For the sake of the online movie business, he can only ask his brothers to help. After all, Chen Yuan is the most suitable person around him.

“As for the actors, except for the leading actors, the requirements for the rest of the cast can be relaxed appropriately. It’s OK if they are slightly better than the one you filmed last time, or even just like that.”

Chen Yuan saved the document and turned off the computer.

“I know, but the problem now is that I haven’t found a professional one. Xie Tiandi has already gone to schools to look for fresh graduates from the acting department, but their age is there, and many roles are also limited. Moreover, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.”

Recruiting at schools is a feasible way, but as Qin Fen said, it is still a long way off and cannot solve the current urgent problem.

Unless you have connections in those schools and can get introductions from mentors.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan suddenly thought of something and said to Qin Fen: “Wait for me for a while, I’ll see if I can solve it.”

“Okay, my requirements are not high. Just give me the Taoist priest and I can turn it on.” Qin Fen laughed when he heard that.

He believed in Chen Yuan. Since he was going to take action, he would definitely be able to find a suitable candidate. Otherwise, he would have to do it himself.

Chen Yuan didn’t waste any time. He hung up the phone, looked up the number of the God of Wealth and dialed it directly.

When it comes to having connections in this industry, Chen Yuan can only think of the God of Wealth. Although the God of Wealth is engaged in the animation industry, judging from the promotion of Xiao Ye’s single and his participation in the show, he must have some resources or connections in the film and television industry.

“Hey, Boss Chen, what’s going on so late at night? Have you found a song for Ye Zi?”

The call was connected quickly, and the laughter of the God of Wealth was heard.

“I do have some ideas. I have written them down, but they are still a little far from being finalized.” Chen Yuan picked up the cigarette box on the table, took out a cigarette, lit it, and said with a casual smile.

“Wow, is it true? That’s great, Boss Chen. It seems that Ye Zi is right. You are a natural songwriter. Boss Chen, would you like to consider making your debut or something?” The God of Wealth was obviously surprised.

It’s only been a short time and he has come up with an idea. If the quality of the song he creates is as good as the last one, then Boss Chen will be a real genius.

“Don’t embarrass me. I’ve lost thousands of brain cells because of this. This is just an extension of Xiaoye’s songs. If I really want to do it myself, there is no chance at all.”

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and exhaled a long puff of smoke.

The God of Wealth was mumbling something, seemingly arranging something, and typing away on the keyboard, then asked,

“Boss Chen, why are you still awake so late?”

Let’s get down to business.

Chen Yuan didn’t chat any more and got straight to the point. “I have something to ask the God of Wealth if he can help me.”

Chen Yuan talked about the online movie, and mentioned the actors, directors, and screenwriters. These are urgent needs and are in serious shortage.

“If you want to find a big star or director, I really can’t guarantee anything, but Boss Chen’s requirements are not high, and we can find a lot of them in one go.” The God of Wealth agreed readily.

“Thank you, God of Wealth. I’ll treat you to a meal next time I come to visit.” Chen Yuan laughed.

“You must eat, but don’t forget about Ye Zi.” The God of Wealth did not forget to remind her about the song, which showed that he was really worried about little Ye Zi.

“Don’t worry, even if I forget myself, I can’t forget about Xiao Ye.”

Ye Zhi has a great image and temperament, and Chen Yuan can be of great use to her. He will definitely give full support to the program “Good Songs”, at least he will take care of all the songs.

“If you say the ‘things you don’t have’, Ye Zi might be moved to tears.” The God of Wealth smiled and joked on the phone.

“Get lost.”

Chen Yuan thought about it for a moment and then reacted, and also gave a warm greeting.

He had finally made things clear with Liang Qianyue. He didn’t want anything to happen between him and Xiao Ye again. The current relationship was good enough.

“I’m serious. You know our sister well, and she admires your talent very much. As long as you ask for her, you will definitely get her.” The God of Wealth continued to joke.

“Don’t think you can come and play for free just because you have a relationship with me. I won’t reduce a penny of the fishing fee, and I won’t be lenient when it comes to ripping you off.” Chen Yuan chuckled.

The God of Wealth laughed.

He stopped joking about this and asked, “Speaking of fishing, Boss Chen, when will our fishing ground membership event be held? What exactly is it? Please tell us.”

The last announcement mentioned the fishing ground membership activity, but the specific content and time were not determined, only that it would be next month.

“My current idea is to fish for free, whether it’s a small pond or a big pond, fishing for silver carp or bighead carp, and the fish are free to catch.”

“You can also have some small games in between, such as competitive fishing or target fish, and set up some prizes, such as upgrading membership benefits, giving away a set of fishing gear, making a monthly fish pond card, etc.”

“Then we’ll have dinner together at night, eat and drink as much as we want.”

“As for the time, after the New Year’s Day holiday, we will discuss it in our member group and try to accommodate all members. What do you think?”

Since the God of Wealth mentioned this matter, Chen Yuan took the opportunity to express his thoughts and see what the members think.

After all, they are founding members and the foundation of the fishing ground. We cannot be stingy with activities. If members have any ideas, we must try our best to satisfy them.

“Wow, that sounds good. I think it’s fine. I have no objection. Let’s take a look at it in the fishing ground group later.” The God of Wealth said with a smile.

“Okay, we’ll discuss it later. I’ll leave the matter to God of Wealth. You can contact Qin Fen or Xie Di when the time comes.”

“Good.”

The two didn’t chat for too long. It seemed that the God of Wealth was also working overtime, and it was getting late.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yuan sent a message to Qin Fen, asking him to contact the God of Wealth, then went into the bathroom to wash up, turned off the lights and went to sleep after coming out.

I just told the God of Wealth that tens of thousands of brain cells were killed or injured, and it was true. Although it was not because of the song, it was too stressful to recall the details of the plot of those online movies.

You need to clear your mind and take a rest.

……

The next morning, Chen Yuan slept until about seven o’clock. This was his rhythm for the past two days. He spent almost all his time on restoring the script and slept a little longer in the morning.

It was already past 7:30 when Chen Yuan finished washing up and went downstairs. There was no one in the house, so he closed the door and went straight to the dining area.

“Xiao Yuan.”

When he first arrived at the dining area, many employees were having their meals. Chen Li, who was having breakfast, saw him and waved.

Chen Yuan pointed to the window, filled a bowl of porridge, took two buns and sat over there.

“Brother-in-law, why do you get up so early? Isn’t the bed warm?” Chen Yuan sat down with a smile.

The tea shop’s customer base is mainly tourists. Those fishermen in the fish pond rarely order these things, so there is no need to get up so early.

What’s more, it’s winter now, wouldn’t it be better to get more sleep?

Is it necessary to talk about friends early in the morning?
Love makes people crazy.

“There’s nothing to do at night, so go to bed early and get up early.” Yang Yangyang took out a cigarette and handed it to Chen Yuan with a smile, and also gave one to Zhou Lin next to him.

“You guys chat first, I’ll pack breakfast for my wife.” After Zhou Lin finished his meal, he took the cigarette and went to the lunch box window.

Liang Xueling goes to work late and usually gets up late in winter, so Zhou Lin always brings breakfast back.

Chen Yuan waved his hand, put the cigarette to his ear, and then started eating.

“Tomorrow is New Year’s Day. Should we prepare some special celebrations for New Year’s Day?” Chen Li asked while wiping her mouth with a piece of paper after finishing her meal.

“Sure. It’s New Year’s Day, new year, new beginnings. What do you think?” Chen Yuan asked while taking a big bite of the bun.

He has been busy with online movies and scripts recently and has no time to think about business matters. Fortunately, he has an elder sister who has helped him take on many things.

“I don’t have any new ideas. It’s nothing more than the same routines I used when I was a store manager, such as discounts on all items, or membership recharge discounts, and gifts for recharging monthly cards at the amusement park,” said Chen Li.

These are all old tricks. While celebrating festivals and giving back to customers, they also boost sales and increase turnover.

“No need to be new, just use the old routines, and considering the Spring Festival in February, it can be sold in bundles. For example, for a monthly card, add 2 yuan to the original one and give away a February monthly card or something.” Chen Yuan said after thinking it over.

Yang Yangyang, who was standing by, couldn’t help but glance at Chen Yuan with admiration in his eyes when he heard this.

My brother-in-law is very smart. He came up with an idea for bundling sales after just a little thought.

Although there is winter vacation in February, there is also the most important annual Spring Festival. I guess everyone will be busy going home to celebrate the festival, visiting relatives, etc., and will definitely have little time to play.

But January is still here.

If you add a little bit on the original basis, you can get a monthly card for free. It feels like you have made a lot of money. When you hear that, you will think about applying for a monthly card. If you have time, you will definitely choose this place.

After all, you can make your money back just by playing once.

This binds the customer.

“If you weren’t a boss, you would definitely be the sales champion.” Chen Li also praised with a smile.

“Being a sales champion is boring. It’s just working for others. What I want is to have a group of sales champions under me.” Chen Yuan smiled. Wouldn’t it be nice to let the sales champions help make money?

Chen Li rolled her eyes.

If it weren’t for the fact that I have some shares, I would easily be criticized for saying this.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Chen Li and the others went back to work.

Since Chen Yuan was also organizing some special celebration activities, she went to make arrangements. As for the details of the activities, she had planned many of them when she was the store manager.

Full stock.

“Dingling bell~”

When Chen Yuan was left alone and drinking porridge, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Take it out and take a look.

It’s Ye Zhi’s sister.

“Why are you calling so early in the morning and not sleeping?” Chen Yuan asked vaguely while eating and answering the phone.

“Boss Chen, have you got any idea about the song?” Ye Zhi’s excited voice came, as if he couldn’t wait.

“There’s a half stroke in the eight characters.” Chen Yuan smiled bitterly.

It must be the God of Wealth who said it. He is such a sister-doting madman that he can’t wait to reveal all the good news.

“Show it to me quickly. No, sing a few lines for me.” Ye Zhi became even more excited.

With someone like me in front of her, her expectations for Chen Yuan are extremely high. The success of the song depends entirely on Chen Yuan.

“No, girl. I’m eating. How can I sing for you?” Chen Yuan stuffed the bun into his mouth and said with a wry smile.

“No hurry, no hurry. I’ll wait for you to finish your meal. Oh, and get me a room. Tomorrow is New Year’s Day. I won’t go home during the holiday. I’ll come to see you in the evening.”

Chen Yuan was speechless.

Book a room and come to see you in the evening.

Listen, these are some vicious words.

I wonder how that sister-loving man would react if he heard it.

However, Chen Yuan also understood Ye Zhi’s mood at the moment. For someone who loves music, a good song is invaluable.

What’s more, the program recording is about to start.

“Record it with the recorder you gave me. I’ll play it for you after I finish my meal.” Chen Yuan didn’t keep you in suspense. He said this and hung up the phone.

After quickly finishing his breakfast, Chen Yuan sat down and smoked a cigarette before heading home.

He first took out a recorder and sang a few lines of the chorus to Ye Zhi, and also left a message saying which song the inspiration was from, asking Ye Zhi to think about it.

“Make a cup of tea first.”

After finishing this, Chen Yuan boiled a kettle of water and made a cup of hot tea, then took out his cigarette box and lighter and put them on the table, and finally turned on the computer.

A cup of tea and a pack of cigarettes, sitting there for the whole day.

“Hurry up and finish the manuscript~”

There is no other way. If you want to occupy the online movie market as quickly as possible, you must keep up with the production, and the script is the first step. Without a script, what can you shoot?

And the script has to be excellent.

Now he has to handle this matter himself.

“Crackling.”

Soon, the room became quiet, with only the sound of fingers tapping on the keyboard and the occasional cloud of smoke.
