188: Yin Zheng has also joined Morning Star!
"Morning Star?" Yin Zheng was stunned for a moment; he hadn't expected Shen Teng to say that.
"Right. Since you haven't signed with a company yet, why not sign with Morning Star? I'm sure the boss won't refuse you. Anyway, you don't know where else to go right now. Wouldn't it be better to be at the boss's Morning Star than at some other company?" Shen Teng continued.
"It seems so." After listening to Shen Teng, Yin Zheng nodded thoughtfully.
He was certainly willing to join Morning Star. Nowadays, Morning Star was considered a very good company in the industry, no worse than other entertainment companies. After all, it was backed by the Great Director Chen Le and even collaborated with Huayi Brothers, so they definitely wouldn't lack resources.
However, Morning Star rarely recruited artists from the outside, so many people couldn't get in even if they wanted to.
Now that Shen Teng was willing to introduce him, this was an opportunity!
"So what are you hesitating for? There are only a few companies better than Morning Star. You can't get into the ones that are better, and you might as well not go to the ones that are worse. That makes sense, right?" Shen Teng continued. He really hoped Yin Zheng would join Morning Star so he would have someone he knew in the company.
"Alright, Brother Teng. Please introduce me," Yin Zheng said, nodding immediately after hearing his words.
Morning Star was now his best choice. With Shen Teng and the others there, he wouldn't feel out of place after joining.
"Good, I'll talk to the boss," Shen Teng said with a smile upon hearing this.
After speaking, Shen Teng took out his phone, preparing to recommend Yin Zheng to Chen Le.
After the message was sent, Chen Le replied to him immediately.
"Sure!"
Just two words. Seeing those two words, a look of joy appeared on Shen Teng's face.
"Yin Zheng, the boss agreed!" he hurriedly told Yin Zheng beside him.
Yin Zheng was stunned. He hadn't expected Chen Le to reply so quickly.
For a moment, he didn't even react.
"Really? Brother Teng?" Yin Zheng asked in disbelief.
"Nonsense, look." As Shen Teng spoke, he showed the phone screen to Yin Zheng.
Seeing the message above, along with Chen Le's wechat profile picture and wechat name...
Only then did he believe it was real.
Because he had also added Chen Le, he was naturally familiar with that wechat profile picture and name.
"Bring him to the company tomorrow," another message from Chen Le arrived.
Seeing this message, an excited expression appeared on Yin Zheng's face.
The next day arrived.
Yin Zheng excitedly followed Shen Teng to the Chenxing Company, where he then met Zhang Li.
Zhang Li had already received Chen Le's message yesterday, saying that Yin Zheng would come to the company today to sign a contract and that she should just sign him on.
As for the contract, it was a second-tier contract, below those of Wang Baoqiang and Zhang Songwen.
Currently, all contracts signed by the company, except for those two, were at the same level.
After signing, Yin Zheng looked at the contract in his hand, somewhat unable to believe that he was now a member of Morning Star.
"Yin Zheng, congratulations! You're now a member of Morning Star too," Shen Teng congratulated him from the side.
"Thank you, Brother Teng! If it weren't for you, I might not have been able to join Morning Star," Yin Zheng thanked him with a smile.
"Haha, no need for thanks. It's because the boss wanted to sign you anyway, which is why it was so easy. Even if I hadn't said anything, the boss probably would have had someone contact you." Shen Teng waved his hand.
He was telling the truth. For Chen Le to agree so quickly, it certainly couldn't have been just because of his introduction; it was more likely that Chen Le already intended to recruit Yin Zheng into Morning Star.
He just happened to catch the right time.
"Come on, Brother Teng, let me treat you to a meal to celebrate me joining Morning Star," Yin Zheng immediately invited Shen Teng.
"Let me treat you. How could I let you spend money to celebrate? You took the words right out of my mouth," Shen Teng said hurriedly.
"Alright, Brother Teng." Yin Zheng didn't continue to decline Shen Teng's offer.
It was just a meal; it wouldn't be good to keep refusing for too long.
The two then found a place to eat... Two more days passed, and the first three days' box office results for Goodbye Mr. Loser were released.
The first day was 46 million, the second day was 49.73 million, and the third day even broke 50 million, reaching 53.9 million.
The box office was higher every day, completely igniting a sense of shock within the industry.
After a year, Chen Le had produced another hit movie.
The total box office of the movies he made in three years was a goal many directors couldn't reach in a lifetime.
Netizens were also very shocked; they hadn't expected the momentum of Goodbye Mr. Loser to be so fierce, even surpassing lost in thailand.
"Good grief, this movie is indeed good, but this box office is just too fierce!"
"Right?! one billion box office hit every year; he's making money hand over fist!"
"I'm so envious. I'd be satisfied if I just had a fraction of that box office."
"You want a fraction? Even a fraction would be millions."
"How much do you think the final box office for Goodbye Mr. Loser will be? I think it'll be at least more than the 1.2 billion of lost in thailand."
"Isn't that obvious? This movie's box office momentum is even fiercer than lost in thailand. I think it can earn at least a few hundred million more."
In addition to netizens' discussions, the media was also reporting on it.
Headlines like "Shocking! Director Chen Le's new movie's box office momentum surpasses lost in thailand, expected to become the second one billion box office masterpiece!"
"Genius Director Chen Le's new work creates another box office myth, surpassing his previous work lost in thailand!"
"Chen Le's new work breaks 200 million at the box office in four days, creating another box office miracle!"
The waters of the entertainment industry were stirred up by Goodbye Mr. Loser.
Many directors began to wonder if they should also start filming comedies.
With comedy box offices being so high and easily breaking one billion, why were they putting so much effort into filming grand productions?
They could just go and film comedies to rake in the cash.
But filming comedy wasn't that easy. Although many directors were thinking about whether to switch to comedy, reality made them hesitate.
After all, if they lost money, they wouldn't have a second chance.
At this time, at home, Yang Mi was very surprised to see the box office results of the past few days.
The box office was increasing every day; surpassing lost in thailand was only a matter of time.
"Old Chen, luckily I didn't bet with you, or I would have definitely lost," Yang Mi said with a look of relief, looking at Chen Le who was lying beside her.
"It's fine even if you lost. I wouldn't actually punish you," Chen Le said with a smile.
"Go on, you're talking nonsense."
"Huh? Does that even count as punishment? I thought you were enjoying it quite a bit," Chen Le looked at Yang Mi playfully.
"Don't mention it again, or I'll get angry." Yang Mi was unwilling to bring up what happened last time; it was too embarrassing to talk about.
"Alright, alright, I won't say it anymore." Chen Le waved his hand, no longer teasing Yang Mi.
At the same time, Chen Le's phone suddenly received a message.
He opened it and saw it was actually from Naza.
Seeing this, he replied by typing with an unchanged expression.
At this moment, Yang Mi was sitting right across from him.
