The anti-fraud bureau needs a promotional video, and you're going to make a "Desperate Gam

Chapter 21 has a high artistic element? How high?! (Please vote!!)
for a long time.

Wang Chuanjun and Jin Chen then calmed down.

Wang Chuanjun took out a pack of cigarettes and glanced at Song Hao.

Song Hao nodded and said, "Go ahead and draw."

Wang Chuanjun lit a cigarette and, after calming down a bit, asked, "Director Song, what exactly is on your mind?"

Song Hao smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

"How could you come up with such a topic?" At this moment, Jin Chen's eyes were also red and swollen.

It was obvious that she had already cried her eyes out while reading the script.

Finally, Wang Chuanjun and Jin Chen both said in unison, "This script is excellent."

"Do you think this film can serve as a promotional video for Nanjing's cultural tourism?" Song Hao asked.

The next second, the two shook their heads again and said, "No!"

Wang Chuanjun replied, "This movie won't pass the approval of the Culture and Tourism Bureau!"

“Yes, Director Song, please don’t take the risk,” Jin Chen also advised. “This is a war-themed film, and the protagonist is a sensitive character.”

"After all, when people mention prostitutes, most of them will think of a scene of debauchery and pleasure, of a life of extravagance and debauchery."

"With legs spread wide and naked, the boudoir is warm and fragrant, but after the spring night, there is no more true affection, only pretense and pretense."

"If you have money, you're the boss; if you don't, get lost."

Listening to Jin Chen's elaborate explanation, Wang Chuanjun was quite surprised: "Your cultural background is quite impressive?"

"That's right. A director once asked me to play a prostitute in an ancient costume drama. I did my research, but I felt that I couldn't handle the role, so I declined," Jin Chen said in surprise.

Song Hao laughed and asked, "So, do you guys think this movie will be good?"

"nice!"

"It's absolutely gorgeous!"

Wang Chuanjun and Jin Chen had great faith in Song Hao's abilities, especially since they had personally seen the contents of the script.

If it's filmed, there's a high chance it will be featured at the annual film festival's awards ceremony.

But
Will the Culture and Tourism Bureau let Song Hao off the hook?

Knowing what they were thinking, Song Hao reassured them, "Don't worry, the film will pass inspection, but you'll have to do me a favor."

"What kind of help?" Jin Chen asked curiously.

"Help me find actors." Song Hao replied, "I need a few actors who look good in qipao and period costumes, and I also need a male actor with a positive image."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chuanjun immediately puffed out his chest and raised his head: "Director Song, I think..."

“No, I don’t think that will work.” Song Hao smiled. “You just finished playing a con artist. If I let you play a positive character again, the audience’s perception will change. I’ll arrange other movies for you in the future.”

Wang Chuanjun could only sigh and say, "Alright then."

Upon hearing that Song Hao wanted actresses to wear cheongsams, Jin Chen nudged his waist and said, "Director Song, what about me? I look good in a cheongsam."

"You're playing a prostitute, can you accept that?" Song Hao probed.

Jin Chen thought for a moment, then shook her head: "I can't handle that kind of role. Sigh, I can be sexy, but I can't portray the feeling of a seductive and alluring woman."

Then she added, "However, I have thought of a good actress. I'll ask her to come and meet you another day."

Wang Chuanjun also said, "I also thought of a friend of mine, whose positive image is not bad."

"Then I'll leave it to you two. Don't worry, I'll definitely think of you when I come across other movie scripts in the future," Song Hao said cheerfully.

“You’d better make a good point,” Wang Chuanjun reminded him. “I’m waiting for your films to change direction. I don’t want people calling me Guan Guan anymore.”

"it is good."

So, after returning home, Jin Chen and Wang Chuanjun actively contacted actors they knew, recommending Song Hao's new script to them. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Culture and Tourism Bureau...

Section Chief Chen knocked on Director Zheng's office door.

"Enter."

Section Chief Chen looked at Director Zheng and then said respectfully, "Director Zheng, you wanted to see me?"

"Hmm, Xiao Chen." Director Zheng put down the documents in his hand and asked, "Xiao Chen, Director Zhou from Longxing Group said he wanted to sponsor a cultural tourism promotional video for us. How's that going?"

"Reporting to Director Zheng, it's like this: I met with Director Zhou a couple of days ago. She wants to invest in us to produce a cultural tourism promotional video, but she wants to use a director she has chosen herself."

"That's alright, after all, it's someone else who funded the investment and sponsorship. What are the subject matter and script like? Have you reviewed them?" Director Zheng inquired.

Section Chief Chen then became troubled: "Director Zheng, I haven't seen the contents of the script."

"Never seen this before?" Director Zheng frowned. "What's going on?"

"The director said that neither our cultural and tourism bureau nor Director Zhou's side could inquire about the details of his filming. He said that he would show it to us when the finished film was completed."

Section Chief Chen's explanation made Director Zheng's expression turn serious.

He retorted, "What kind of director is this? So arrogant!"

“I checked his background, and the movies he made before didn’t receive very high ratings; they were suspected of being bad films,” Section Chief Chen replied.

This statement made Director Zheng even more suspicious.

Just as he was wondering, Section Chief Chen added, "I heard that the Anti-Fraud Center had this director shoot a promotional video, saying it was going to be released in theaters, and it's generating a lot of buzz online right now."

"It's going to be shown in theaters?" This surprised Director Zheng.

However, he didn't say much, but nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. We'll do as they say for now. If the final product is not up to standard, we won't approve it."

"Yes, Director Zheng."

Section Chief Chen then walked out of the office.

After thinking for a moment, Director Zheng made a phone call.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, are you busy?"

On the other end of the phone, Director Zhang from the Anti-Fraud Bureau chuckled: "You old Zheng, why did you suddenly think of calling me?"

"I have something to ask you."

"You said."

Director Zheng asked curiously, "Did you film a promotional video?"

"Yes." Director Zhang smiled. "What? Did your people get scammed? Should I have someone explain it to your department?"

"No." Director Zheng asked again, "Then what do you think of this promotional video? I heard it's going to be shown in theaters?"

Director Zhang immediately explained, "Of course it's well-made, with a high artistic value. Otherwise, why would I release it in theaters?"

"How tall is it?"

"Anyway, once you watch this promotional video, you'll understand. Here, I've uploaded it to my cloud drive and will send it to you so you can watch it yourself."

After hanging up the phone, Director Zheng joked, "Old Zhang always makes a fuss about everything. How can a promotional video have artistic elements? Besides, promotional videos are all the same old thing."

He still felt that everyone had too high expectations of this so-called Song Hao.

A short while later, he clicked on the video.

When he saw the movie title "All or Nothing," he even joked, "Fancy stuff, that's the worst thing a promotional video can do."

Until two hours later
Director Zheng took a deep breath and immediately dialed a number, saying, "Xiao Chen, let that director film according to his own ideas. If he needs anything, just let our Culture and Tourism Bureau know. The whole department can cooperate with him. Once the film is finished, bring it to my office as soon as possible!"

If anyone's reading this, could you type "1"?
