This top guy is crazy!

Chapter 430 New Project, "The Wandering Earth"

The director of Tianying Group laughed and said:

"Hahaha, how is that possible? We have all witnessed Director Cheng's ability. For the Tianxia film market, Director Cheng should take the lead. Director Cheng, don't shirk your responsibility."

He was the one who planned and led the "Chinese Pictures" project.

After the failure of "Chinese Pictures", the senior leaders were very dissatisfied and he almost lost his position.

This time, Tianying, together with Radio, Film and Television and Cheng Cheng, jointly created a big-budget movie, which was undoubtedly a great opportunity for him to make up for his mistakes and revive his career. Therefore, no matter what, he was determined to persuade Cheng Cheng to participate.

Cheng Cheng: "Forget it. I suddenly remembered that I have a concert and two movies in the second half of the year. How about this, leaders? How about I go back and think about it first?"

He checked his phone, set an alarm for five minutes, and prepared to leave after answering the alarm.

The director of Tianying Group looked grim.

He had already said it in such a nice way, but Cheng Cheng still didn't give him face. What did this mean? Did he really think there was no one left in the entertainment industry?
No matter how great you are, Cheng Cheng, you are just a director!
He was about to get angry, but the head of the Radio and Television Bureau held him down and said to Cheng Cheng with a warm face:
"Xiaocheng, I know you feel pressure and concerns about taking on this project. But pressure and concerns are good things, right? It means this project is worth doing! Put aside the work on hand and take up this project first. The domestic film market concerns each of us practitioners. If you are capable, you should take on more responsibilities. If you don't stand up at this time, who will?"

"Of course." He continued, "We are not just talking and not doing anything. That is impossible. We all know the difficulties of making a movie. Just tell us what conditions you want."

This sounds like human language.

At least they understand that if they want to make cows and horses work, they have to be given grass.

However, Cheng Cheng still felt that it was not enough. He asked me to take over the project and asked me to put aside the work on hand. Shouldn’t you list the conditions first and then I will consider whether to take it over?
How could I bring that up?

He said, "I can't think of it at the moment, leader, how about you tell me first?"

"Okay, okay." The head of the Radio and Television Bureau smiled, and then said, "Then let me talk about it first. First, you can choose any actor from all over the country. I will immediately ask whoever you choose to cooperate with your work. Second, in terms of funds, the Radio and Television Bureau and Tianying will take the lead in attracting investment for you. We will decide the specific share in the meeting. Third, for technical support, I will let the national special effects team escort you. Professors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Tsinghua University and Peking University are available for you to use. Fourth, schedule support, as long as the quality of the film is up to standard, the schedule can be extended to two months. In addition, it will be staggered with other major works. Fifth, publicity and distribution policy support."

Cheng Cheng said: "Leader, I have another question."

"You go ahead," the senior leader of the radio and television said, looking respectful and attentive.

Cheng Cheng: "Can I choose whoever I want to cast and use whoever I want? You know, I don't like people with connections to appear in the crew. This boss puts someone in my place, and that boss puts someone in my place. Sometimes, it makes me very angry.

In addition, the crew's affairs are not as simple as casting. There are also scripts, funds, shooting plans, location coordination, and post-production. If I really accept this project, I don't want to be interfered by other external factors. In short, I hope that I am the only voice in the crew and I have the final say. "

The chairman of Tianying couldn't hold it in any longer and was about to say something, but Cheng Cheng interrupted him:
"Of course I understand that the two leaders are more concerned about this project, but I also have to be responsible to the audience and the work. If the two leaders want me to take on this project, I must guarantee these two points."

The top leader of the Radio and Television Bureau stretched out his hand and said:

"Okay! Let's do as you say! You will be fully responsible for this project! How does the saying go? Trust the people you employ, and don't employ the people you don't trust! I believe in Director Xiao Cheng's ability! However, Director Xiao Cheng, I have one more question, when will the script be available?"

Cheng Cheng thought for a moment and said:

"Give me a week."

Since Radio, Film and Television and Tianying came to him and the conditions were quite good, Cheng Cheng had no intention of refusing.

Although he has made quite a few movies, he has not made any real big productions yet. "Resident Evil" can only be considered half of it. This time, the Radio, Film and Television Bureau and Tianying came to him. Although it was not in his plan, he would have to shoot it sooner or later, so he might as well take advantage of the opportunity.

The top leaders of the Radio and Television Bureau were all smiles:

"Okay, Director Xiao Cheng is really fast. Let's have a meeting in half a month."

After leaving the office, the chairman of Tianying Group looked at the door with a grim expression.

This is a big project with huge potential benefits!
Tianying Group is the leader in the Tianxia film industry.

The Radio, Film and Television Administration is the upper-level regulatory department of the Tianxia film industry.

Cheng Cheng is the director with the greatest box office appeal this summer.

The tripartite cooperation can be said to have gathered the right time, right place and right people. The strength of Tianying Group, the support of radio and television, and Cheng Cheng's talent will surely attract the entire entertainment industry!
Countless capitals want to join in.

Countless directors and screenwriters want to improve their qualifications.

Countless actors want to show their faces.

As long as he can get his hands dirty, he will be full of benefits. But Cheng Cheng doesn't want others to intervene. He wants to have the final say in the project and wants to be in charge of the actors and personnel. How can he benefit from this? Isn't this excluding him?
The reason why a leader is called a leader is, first, he has the highest status, and second, his words are effective.

Now Cheng Cheng wants the highest position in the crew, but he also wants to be the only one who has the final say.

So is he the leader, or is Cheng Cheng the leader?
He frowned at the senior leader of the Radio and Television Bureau and said:
"Boss, I acknowledge Cheng Cheng's ability as a great director, but this is such a big project after all. It's not good to let him have the final say. Who will be held responsible if something goes wrong?"

The top leader of the Radio and Television Bureau knew what he was thinking, so he said to him:
"Meng, the success of this project is the key, and everything else must give way to it. You can see that although Cheng Cheng is young, he is very determined. We won't give face to either of us. If we don't promise him in advance, will he still accept this project? Since we are the ones begging him to accept this project, let's just go along with him. We just need to cooperate and enjoy the results."

The president of Tianying Group snorted coldly, he was very unhappy:
"I learned about it when I was young and had no awe. The same thing happened with "The Chinese". If he had taken over at that time, there would have been no subsequent events. As a result, he made "Resident Evil" in the same period."

"Okay~", the head of the Radio and Television Bureau patted him on the shoulder, "We still have to count on him this time, don't make any more trouble."

The president of Tianying Group nodded, but the cloud in his eyes remained.

His mind raced and he came up with an idea.

-

It is September now.

"Love Apartment 3" has passed the review and is tentatively scheduled to be released in November.

Now, the Douban entry has been created and small-scale publicity and promotion work has begun.

"People in the Alley" and "I Am a Detective" have completed post-production and have been submitted for review. It is estimated that the review will be completed in another week.

In Japan, "The Winner is Justice" has already finished filming two episodes. Since Japan is in a mode of filming and broadcasting at the same time, it will be available to the audience as early as next month. The leading actress is Miyazaki Tamaki, the heroine of "Unnatural Death" who has worked with Cheng Cheng before. The leading actor is a man named Konishi Takuyuki. Goto Risa also plays a small role in it, named Shimamura Tomoko.

On the peninsula, the first and second parts of "Dark Glory" have been completed and are now in post-production.

Jiang Nan has started the Peninsula’s annual singing stage again.

Now the fifth generation girl groups have become the backbone, and the sixth and seventh generation girl groups have already emerged. Of course, the leaders of the sixth and seventh generation girl groups are from GOD.

Currently, GOD Entertainment is already the fourth largest force on the peninsula.

In the past two years, GOD Entertainment has produced six girl groups with 24 members.

Currently, Shinhwa is airing "Underground Traffic Station" and "King of Masked Singer 3".

Apart from a variety show and a TV series, that’s all.

Of course, Shinhwa’s current highlight is “The Legend of Sword and Fairy III”, which will be released next month and stars Cheng Cheng, Jiang Nan, and Nilu Kezi.

On September 9, Cheng Cheng completed the script.

On September 9, China Media Group and Tianying Film Group invited major forces in the industry to hold a meeting.

The attendees were very excited to hear that Sung Cheng was the director.

You know, Cheng Cheng has become a golden signboard in the domestic entertainment industry. No project with him has lost money so far. I heard that just from the TV series "Friends", Shinhwa Company earned more than 1 billion RMB!
In other words, as long as you can participate in Cheng Cheng's project, you will make money for sure!
What's more, this time we have the support of China Radio and Television and Tianying.

In the conference room, the top leader of the Radio and Television Corporation sat in the first seat, with the president of Tianying Group on his left and Cheng Cheng on his right.

First, the top leaders of the Radio, Film and Television Department spoke.

He first talked about the original intention of doing this project, that is, the current Tianxia film market is in decline and the box office has almost been halved. Therefore, measures must be taken to save the market, and the way to save the market is to invite Cheng Cheng, the director with the strongest box office appeal in the industry, to co-produce a big-budget movie, which will not only boost the confidence of filmmakers, but also boost the confidence of the audience and the market.

Afterwards, the president of Tianying Group also delivered a speech, in which he expressed his full support for the decision of the Radio and Television Bureau and emphasized the determination and investment of Tianying Group in this project.

Finally, the leaders of the Radio and Television Bureau asked Cheng Cheng to speak:

"Director Xiao Cheng's script has been completed. I've read it. The quality is very high, but at the same time, it's also very difficult. Director Xiao Cheng, can you please introduce it to me?"

"Okay." Cheng Cheng took over the conversation. "Then let me introduce it. The script this time is called "The Wandering Earth". The background of the story is set in 2075. It tells the story of the sun's impending destruction. After the destruction, the solar system is no longer suitable for human survival. Faced with the desperate situation, humans will start the "Wandering Earth" plan."

"The Wandering Earth" meets the world for the first time in this time and space.
