Chapter 343: Crossing the Five Domains of the Realm (Ch 343)

“Civil Affairs Bureau!”

Chen Yuwen exclaimed in disbelief, looked at Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan, and asked,

“No, are you two going to do such a big thing? You just announced it yesterday, and you’re planning to get the marriage certificate today? Could it be that…”

As she was talking, her eyes suddenly widened, and she pointed a trembling finger at the two of them.

“Oh my god, you two are not pregnant before marriage, so you are in such a hurry to take the baby?”

Oh shit!

After Chen Yuwen finished speaking, the girl at the front desk standing at the door opened her mouth in surprise, her little tongue trembling in excitement, and even her ears stood up.

“I don’t”

“I have no idea”

“I didn’t call you.”

Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan were so frightened that they hurriedly waved their hands to deny it. They were also confused about this matter.

At first both sides thought it was a surprise prepared by the other side, but now it seems more appropriate to say “shock”.

Seeing how decisively the two denied it, and thinking that Qi Jia didn’t seem like someone who would do such a ridiculous thing, Chen Yuwen believed it in his heart.

“Take them to the conference room and we’ll go over there now.”

After sending the receptionist away, the three of them stood up and prepared to go. As they were leaving, Chen Yuwen suddenly grabbed Qi Jia from behind and whispered,

“Are you two really not announcing your pregnancy?”

Qi Jia glanced at Zhang Ruonan who was walking in front of him and said in a low voice,

“Do I look like such a bad guy?”

Chen Yuwen stared into his eyes for a long time, and finally nodded with relief, but then a wretched expression appeared on his face again.

“Come to think of it, it’s not that you can’t do it, if you really can’t do it, then tell me, I have a recipe that was used exclusively by the male favorites of Empress Dowager Cixi in the Qing Palace, hehe~”

Qi Jia’s mind was filled with black lines. He pushed her wretched face away with disgust and said,

“You should keep it for your male models.”

In the meeting room,

Two staff members, a man and a woman, dressed in suits, quickly stood up and greeted Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan when they saw them come in.

After some pleasantries, I learned that the man’s name was Chen Xin and the woman’s name was Liu Mengjia. They were both staff members of the Civil Affairs Bureau of Minhang District, Shanghai.

This time, I came here mainly to invite Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan to come to the Civil Affairs Bureau on the 31st to participate in the New Year’s Eve marriage registration event [Welcome the New Year and Find a Good Marriage].

After listening carefully to what the two said, Qi Jia asked curiously, “Are you guys also under pressure to perform well?”

The two staff members nodded awkwardly and said, “Indeed, our district’s target requirement this year is to register 15,000 couples, but we are still short of 4,000 couples.”

After he said this, Qi Jia and the other two understood that it was probably because the local leaders saw the effect of the official announcement and came up with this idea.

Besides, many couples will choose to register on the special day of New Year’s Eve. When the time comes, as long as the news that Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan will send their blessings to the newlyweds at the Minhang District Civil Affairs Bureau is posted online, the newlyweds from other districts will all rush to Minhang District to register after seeing it.

I have to say, the person who came up with this idea is really talented. It would be a shame not to go to the special sale section of the supermarket for promotion.

At this time, a male staff member named Chen Xin said,

“Teacher Qi Jia, Teacher Zhang Ruonan, our leader said that if you two also plan to register, we can issue you the first marriage certificate of the new year.”

Chen Yuwen was drinking water, and when she heard it, she almost spit it out.

Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan looked at each other, laughed dryly and said, “Haha, your leader is really generous.”

After asking about the time and the process of the event in detail, Qi Jia felt that it should not be difficult, and it would be difficult for the artists to refuse the work of the government.

So they agreed. After agreeing, two staff members immediately shot a trailer for Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan, ready to be posted on Douyin.

After filming the video and sending the two away, the three of them continued with the previous question.

“According to the discussions between me and the production team, the total production and publicity costs of the three dramas are:

“Ink Rain and Clouds” was 200 million, “Dream of Splendor” was 300 million, and “Fragrance of the Dark” was 60 million. “

Qi Jia was shocked to hear the production cost of nearly 600 million yuan.

This is an astronomical figure. Even if one invests all of his own wealth and Boss Yang’s wealth in it, and then sells Boss Yang, it still will not be enough.

Although advertisers can be hired to insert advertisements,

But it is not so easy to get money from advertisers. If you want to get high advertising fees, you have to expose the brand blatantly in the drama.

For example, in the “Midnight Diner” that Mr. Huang filmed before, in order to show the sponsor’s advertisement, he insisted on filming a whole episode with the stupid pickled cabbage beef noodles.

There are also advertisements in the drama saying that sauerkraut contains a lot of enzymes and is very good for people. This crude implantation is unbearable to watch.

If a TV series like this is made, not only will it be criticized to death, but the reputation of the actors will also be ruined, and their popularity will be ruined.

Qi Jia didn’t intend to do such a thing as killing the goose that lays the eggs.

As if he had seen through Qi Jia’s thoughts, Chen Yuwen spoke up.

“So, I suggest either shooting a movie first or looking for external investment.

There are many investors who are very optimistic about you two. As long as we announce it to the public, we can start shooting three more films at the same time, not to mention three at a time. “

It would take too long to sell one movie and then make another one after the funds are recovered. After thinking for a while, Qi Jia decided that it would be best to find an external investor.

But he was worried that some capital would stuff some fairies and handsome boys into the crew in order to promote new talents.

“You should talk to those investors first. They can hire people, but the prerequisite is that you don’t need to consider roles like first and second place, but roles below third place can be discussed.” Qi Jia said.

Chen Yuwen looked a little hesitant. It was okay to give first place, but if he didn’t even give second place, most investors would probably give up the idea.

After all, making money is secondary. Most people still want to take advantage of Qi Jia’s popularity to promote their newcomers and raise a hen that lays golden eggs for themselves.

However, she also knew how high Qi Jia’s requirements were for his works, so she didn’t persuade him much and planned to contact the investors first.

“Okay, I understand.” Chen Yuwen nodded and just as he stood up to leave, he suddenly remembered something and said, “By the way, I have already settled your residence, so buying a house will be no problem.”

Qi Jia had asked Chen Yuwen to help him settle down before, and planned to buy a villa from Boss Yang’s friend. If she hadn’t told him, he would have forgotten about it.

Now listening to her talk, Qi Jia waved his hand somewhat disinterestedly.

“No rush, wait until you have money later”

With the production cost of nearly 600 million next year, how could he have the mind to buy a house?

When I returned to my lounge, I saw Zhang Ruonan with his back to the door, writing something on the table with a cell phone in one hand and a pen in the other.

Out of curiosity, Qi Jia tiptoed and walked behind her secretly, bent down to take a closer look, and was stunned for a moment. After a long while, he asked in confusion,

“No, why are you writing this?”

(I celebrated the New Year’s Eve too late last night, and couldn’t get up in the morning, so the update is late, sorry sorry)
