93: An invitation from Happy Camp!
Upon hearing her assistant's words, it took Yang Mi a good while to snap back to reality.
Then, she stood up excitedly, her face filled with joy: "This is wonderful!"
After saying that, she picked up her phone and impatiently dialed Chen Le's number.
Once the call connected, she shouted excitedly, "Hello! Old Chen! Did you see? lost in thailand's box office is 1.187 billion! Is this for real?"
Hearing the pleasant surprise in Yang Mi's voice over the phone, Chen Le also grinned from ear to ear and said, "Yes, it's true. The profit alone this time is several hundred million!"
"Hiss, that's so much!" Yang Mi's mind was currently in a daze.
She hadn't expected it could earn this much.
"Exactly, and there's a portion of it for you. It's already multiplied many times over now," Chen Le continued with a smile.
"Hehe, Old Chen, you're amazing. This is all thanks to you."
After the two of them flirted with each other for a bit, Yang Mi asked again, "How have you been lately? Is work going smoothly?"
Chen Le replied with a smile, "Very well, everything is going according to plan. What about you? Is filming going smoothly?"
Yang Mi nodded: "It's also going quite smoothly. It's just that I get a bit tired sometimes. But thinking about how well your movie has done, I feel like I need to keep working hard."
"Mi Mi, you're already working hard enough. When you can relax, you should relax properly. Even if you don't work, I can afford to support you," Chen Le said with a smile.
"That won't do. I can't have you making money while I'm just playing. Anyway, I'm still young, so I'll film as much as I can. When I'm in my thirties or forties and can't film anymore, I'll go traveling and play everywhere," Yang Mi said giggling.
The two of them chatted for a while longer before Yang Mi reluctantly hung up the phone.
With lost in thailand breaking the one billion mark, it wasn't just the netizens who were paying close attention; even the media was very punctual, their news headlines as exaggerated and shocking as ever.
"Shocking! lost in thailand becomes the first one billion box office blockbuster in chinese films history!"
"Record-breaking! lost in thailand box office hits one billion; chinese films enter a golden age!"
"Shocking the Chinese film industry! lost in thailand's box office breaks one billion, opening a new era!"
"Breaking one billion! lost in thailand ignites the Chinese film industry, refreshing the box office myth!"
Besides these headlines, there were also many news reports praising Chen Le.
"Beijing Film Academy genius Chen Le's new work breaks one billion box office, becoming the first domestic one billion box office masterpiece in chinese films!"
"Genius Director Chen Le creates a one billion box office myth for chinese films!"
"Wizard-like Director Chen Le, the future hope of chinese films!"
"Chen Le: A brilliant new star in the directing world, illuminating the Chinese film industry!"
Not only that, many media outlets came to interview Wang Baoqiang and the other lead actors just to get first-hand news.
Shortly after Chen Le finished his call with Yang Mi, Zhang Li also called.
"Hello, Boss." Zhang Li's capable and professional voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Oh, Sister Li, is something the matter?" Chen Le responded politely.
"It's like this! I have some good news here," Zhang Li said, keeping him in suspense.
"What good news?" Chen Le was a bit curious.
"It's like this: the Happy Camp production team called me. They hope you and the main creative team of lost in thailand can participate in their next episode. What do you think?" Only then did Zhang Li reveal the content of the good news.
"Happy Camp? That's the ace program in the country right now! Of course it's good to participate; it's a great promotional opportunity for us." Chen Le agreed without hesitation.
After all, this program's current popularity in the country was comparable to CCTV programs.
Especially Mango TV; basically every household with a TV had this channel.
If he participated in this program, he could gain a lot of recognition and increase his influence and popularity.
"Okay! Boss, please arrange your schedule as soon as possible. I will communicate with the Happy Camp production team." Zhang Li
nodded; she naturally hoped Chen Le could go on this program. After all, there were only benefits to going on this show and no downsides.
If Chen Le's popularity increased, then their company's reputation would also improve.
After receiving Chen Le's affirmative answer, Zhang Li immediately got in touch with the Happy Camp production team and confirmed the specific recording time and location.
At the same time, she also notified the other main creative personnel of lost in thailand, hoping everyone could participate in the program together.
As for Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Songwen, and Huang Bo, they were all very happy upon learning this news. They knew this was a rare opportunity to boost their own fame.
Happy Camp was basically known by everyone in the country. Other programs could be turned down, but this one was non-negotiable.
On the other side, the Happy Camp production team received Zhang Li's affirmative reply.
For the Happy Camp director, Liu Wei, this was undoubtedly a piece of huge good news.
"Great! Director Chen Le and the others have agreed!" Liu Wei jumped up excitedly in his office.
He knew very well how popular the movie lost in thailand was right now. As the first movie to break the one billion box office mark, no matter what happened later, it would be a significant stroke in the history of chinese films.
Now this movie was trending, and as the director who filmed it, Chen Le was even more in the spotlight.
It was just that Chen Le was too mysterious. Aside from accepting interviews in newspapers, he didn't participate in any film or television variety shows.
Aside from knowing his name and what he looked like, everyone knew nothing else about him.
Therefore, many people were very curious about what kind of person the director of this movie actually was, and Liu Wei was the same.
So he wanted to invite Chen Le to participate in the Happy Camp program, with the purpose of getting to know Chen Le.
And while he was at it, he could ride the wave of traffic.
After all, although Happy Camp was very famous, if its program content wasn't good, the viewership ratings would also drop.
Now that the lost in thailand director was coming to participate in Happy Camp, Liu Wei could already imagine how much attention the next episode would receive.
Being able to invite Chen Le to participate in the program now would undoubtedly greatly enhance the program's viewership ratings and influence.
After the excitement, Liu Wei immediately picked up the phone and called Teacher He, Sister Na, and Weijia.
"Hello, Teacher He? You guys come to my office. I have some good news for you," Liu Wei's voice was filled with joy.
"Good news? What good news?" Teacher He was very puzzled. He didn't know what good news Liu Wei wanted to tell them that he couldn't just say over the phone.
"You'll know when you get here." With a smile on his face, Liu Wei kept Teacher He in suspense.
"Alright, I'll have to see what good news you have for us." Teacher He nodded and then hung up the phone, walking toward Liu Wei's office.
After finishing the call with Teacher He, Liu Wei continued to call Sister Na and Weijia.
He also asked them to come to his office, saying he had good news for them.
Although Sister Na and Weijia were very puzzled, since Liu Wei wouldn't say it over the phone, they could only go to his office together.
