Actor: Thank you.

Being a leader is not that easy.

In addition to daily work, you also have to balance the forces of all parties.

The person sitting in front of Zhang Yuan now is Old Han.

Zhang Yuan only needs to make money, but Han Sanpin has a lot to consider...

Problem children are those who are very capable but not very obedient.

In fact, Lao Han himself was once a problem child.

Wang Zhonglei, Li Shaohong and other dear friends of his were all problem children.

It’s just that he is a generation younger than Zhang Yuan, and he is not from the Beijing Film Studio or the film compound, so his relationship with Lao Han is not that close.

Seeing how he was taking him too seriously, Zhang Yuan knew that if he didn't deal with him, it would be difficult for him to get the preferential policies in this industry in the future.

Generally speaking, the means of winning people over are nothing more than affection and money.

Zhang Yuan suffers a loss emotionally.

When it comes to money, Lao Han actually has many ways to make money.

The largest film studios in China are the Beijing Film Studio and the Shanghai Film Studio.

The profitability of Shanghai Film Studio is several times that of Beijing Film Studio which is backed by China Film Group. Can you believe this?

China Film Group and Beijing Film Studio produce so many films and collaborate on so many plays every year, but they don't make any money.

Where did the money go?
So money alone is not enough.

Have to change the road.

"Boss Han, I came here today to thank you for your support over the years."

"'Crazy Racing' will be released soon, I hope it will do well."

Old Han nodded with a smile.

China Film Group also invested in this film.

"There is also the play Founding of a Republic, which needs your attention."

"Speaking of this, you have to perform well." Han Sanpin said helplessly.

At that time, Zhang Yuan went through the entire production team, contacted each one by name, and asked for this role.

I can't be too arbitrary, after all, this project is quite special.

"I heard about your recording on CCTV."

"Don't let this happen to me." He warned seriously.

"Of course. I will quit other work and adjust my schedule specifically for this drama."

“So many people want to be in this play but can’t.”

"It's an honor to play a small role."

"I am honored to be the lead actor, and I will definitely give it my all."

"That's good."

Seeing that he had given his assurance, Han Sanpin thought that this boy spoke quite nicely.

He also does things properly.

It’s just that sometimes, rushing too fast will affect the interests of some old friends.

Although he looks kind, he actually has a bad temper and people always come to him to complain.

The news of this big job in Hollywood has become a hot topic again and is about to spread.

Now I want to make a co-production again.

He wants to get everything that's good. Isn't this going to make others jealous?
There will definitely be a group of people coming to find me later.

"Zhang Yuan, a junior, can make a co-production, so why can't we..."

There must be someone who says that.

Old Han thought to himself that this time... he was too popular, so he had to be given some time off.

Moreover, the "Fast and Furious" series has never been released in the country. If the racing has a bad impact...

Come to a conclusion first, then find reasons.

This is Lao Han’s current situation.

Zhang Yuan saw that his attitude was calm and he was not anxious.

"I know it's going to be very difficult to make a co-production this time."

"So I came here today just to ask for your opinion."

"Since you said it's difficult, then I understand. This is probably a hopeless case."

"But it's okay. Nothing in the world can go as one wishes."

"I'm glad you think so." Old Han quickly responded.

"Okay, I have something to do later. Take the wine with you and we'll meet again later."

"Okay." Seeing that the other party had ordered him to leave, Zhang Yuan patted the armrest of the chair and stood up.

"Oh, by the way, there's one more thing."

"When I was discussing cooperation with Universal, I got an opportunity to intern in the senior management of the crew."

"I wanted to send my men to learn from them."

"After all, the Hollywood crew still has its merits."

"I just heard that your daughter is about to graduate from college and wants to switch to film and television major."

"I wonder if she's interested in this?"

"I just said it casually, don't take it seriously."

"I'm leaving now. We'll talk again next time."

He stood up and turned around after he finished speaking.

But before he could take a step, he heard Lao Han calling him.

"and many more!"

Look.

What is the CEO of China Film Group?

As long as the right conditions are given, you can still catch black bass.

"You sit down first." Old Han stood up and pulled him back.

After being pressed into the chair, Han Sanpin simply crossed his legs and sat on the table in front of him.

"Over here at Universal, it's an internship opportunity for the next Fast and Furious movie."

"Yes." Zhang Yuan nodded: "I asked Universal Pictures for it."

"And because I was afraid that the foreigners would make a fuss, I asked them to include this in the supplementary terms."

"We can send a professional to stay on the crew."

"They will cooperate and provide food and accommodation."

“We will also arrange visits and study inside Universal Pictures.”

Zhang Yuan said these one by one.

With every additional word, the smile on Old Han’s face widened.

"I think the domestic film and television industry is developing rapidly now."

"But when it comes to development, it's still the beacon country."

“So I think this collaboration will give me a chance to learn.”

"We are not afraid of falling behind, but we are afraid of having no place to learn, don't you think?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Old Han nodded repeatedly.

"You're right. We just need to learn and communicate."

"Okay then. I'll move the wine and leave." Zhang Yuan said and was about to stand up again.

"Hey!" Old Han stretched out his hands and pressed down on his shoulders.

"What wine?"

"What am I going to drink if you move away?"

“It’s not a bad influence.”

"We're just drinking among ourselves, what's the big deal?"

This moment, Old Han no longer follows as many rules as before.

Zhang Yuan and Huanqiu proposed to send people in just for this matter!

Old Han’s daughter is called Han Jianv… This name is quite straightforward.

She is of average appearance, the kind that can be recognized as Han Sanpin's daughter at first glance.

So being an actor is impossible.

And he has no talent for singing, dancing, or anything like that.

Overall, he is a person with mediocre abilities.

But no matter how ordinary she is, with a father like him, she can do whatever she wants.

Later, she became part of the screenwriter team for the TV series "Dying to Survive".

Later on, he participated in the production of many low-budget films.

"Dying to Survive" put her in the position of chief screenwriter.

But in fact, she only did a first draft.

The content of the first draft was just a retelling of the Lu Yong incident, more like a documentary.

It's basically just a copycat description of the real events.

The adaptation part involving the story, characters and various details was actually done by screenwriter Zhong Wei and director Wen Muye.

But "out of respect", Han Jianiu was still placed in the front row.

As for who to respect.

Anyway, although the subject matter of this film is special, its release was exceptionally smooth.

Without the Han family's banner, things wouldn't have been so smooth.

Lao Han's daughter did not study film and television in college, but English.

Originally, the girl herself didn't particularly want to go this way.

But my family had connections in this field, and English majors really didn’t make much money, so after much detours, I ended up in this field.

I am a junior this year and am preparing for the exam.

Lao Han has already found some connections for her, and she plans to enroll in the directing department of the Beijing Film Academy as a graduate student.

This is going to get us back on the "right track".

Graduate study is just theory, it also needs practice.

Given Mr. Han's status, it is too easy for him to find a place for his daughter to intern and study.

If you spread the word, I guarantee that dozens of people will come to you for help.

Don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face.

But the problem is that Lao Han may not be interested in ordinary crews or companies!
Who uses you!

Even if it's the crew of Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, they can enter easily with just a word from him.

China Film Group has this capability.

But when it comes to foreign countries, especially Hollywood, Han's arms are not that long.

What's more, Universal Pictures is not an independent film company like Miramax or Relativity.

They are the Big Eight in Hollywood, and the upper class among the Big Eight!
Even Han Sanpin couldn't squeeze people into this place.

But Zhang Yuan can!
For him, this was just an exchange of resources, a side job.

When Universal heard that she was the daughter of the president of China Film Group, they also knew what was going on and were willing to entertain her.

White people also understand the local conditions and the situation of the Chinese film and television industry.

This kind of relationship-based households have existed since ancient times, and foreigners are no exception.

Microsoft's first order came from IBM.

It’s not because of the high level of this small workshop, but because Bill Gates’ biological mother is a director of IBM.

In fact, the white people's network of relationships is more deeply rooted, because Western countries, especially the beacon country, have never carried out a thorough revolution or reshuffle in more than 200 years since their founding, and there are old capitalists everywhere.

So as soon as Zhang Yuan mentioned the origin of Han Jia's neodymium, everyone knew it clearly.

For Mr. Han, being able to get his daughter an internship opportunity with a Hollywood crew would be of great benefit to her future development!
And she happened to be an English major, so she had no problem with the language barrier.

"This is it!" Old Han arranged directly: "I'll call my daughter over tonight and we'll have dinner together."

"Let's talk about this in detail."

"That wine of yours just might come in handy."

"Does it fit?"

"That's perfect!" Old Han clapped his hands and said, "That's it."

He was afraid that this good opportunity would slip away.

"That's fine. I'll go and arrange the restaurant."

"What kind of cuisine does your daughter like to eat?"

"She left Sichuan when she was in her teens, and she already has a spicy mouth."

"understood!"

I had dinner with the father and daughter that night.

The place chosen was the currently popular South Beauty.

South Beauty made its fortune in the imperial capital, and the word "Jiangnan" is in its name.

But this brand specializes in fine Sichuan cuisine.

Anyway, the name has nothing to do with the cuisine.

At this moment, South Beauty is still led by Zhang Lan and is preparing for a listing.

In order to make money by going public, the mother and son started jumping up and down for several years.

All kinds of news.

However, South Beauty is indeed very popular at this time. Not only did it win the title of "Well-known Chinese Trademark", it also became one of the designated sponsors of the Olympic Games.

Zhang Lan herself also became an Olympic torchbearer.

We asked for a private room and ordered expensive dishes.

During the dinner, I met Lao Han’s daughter for the first time.

This guy has met half of the Chinese entertainment industry along with his father, so he didn't feel much when he saw this star, it was just like meeting an ordinary person.

But when he heard that he could go to Hollywood, his eyes, which had been dull, suddenly lit up.

"I'll be responsible for making the arrangements."

"I'll also be filming by then."

"It's up to you to take care of that girl." Old Han said, holding up a glass of Maotai.

"Not really. I'm not familiar with the place either. We just need to take care of each other."

"Ms. Han, please take care of me."

"Hey."

The atmosphere was quite cheerful as the drinks flowed.

Zhang Yuan knew very well that his personal relationship with Lao Han was actually quite ordinary.

It is far from comparable to those old imperial capitals.

So, you have to find a breakthrough yourself.

And his own daughter is Lao Han’s only weakness.

As long as you control this place, you can ensure that you have a smooth journey in the film industry most of the time.

Taking this opportunity to bind together can bring a lot of convenience to your future career.

The key point is that Lao Han is the president of China Film Group, but China Film Group is not owned by their family.

He will also die one day, so he has to plan for benefits for his children in advance.

When we were almost done eating, we started chatting.

"Boss Han, do you think there is still hope for this film to be a co-production?"

"Or if there's anything that needs to be improved, I can think of a way to do it."

"Well." Han Sanpin patted his belly.

"I'll have a meeting tomorrow to discuss it."

"There are quotas for co-productions, so we have to fight for it."

"But I don't think it's a big problem."

Before, it was said that there was little hope, but now it is not a big problem... Zhang Yuan smiled and took a sip of wine.

"There are some other things I'll give you a list of."

"For co-production films, there are government subsidies for the location, shooting and release."

"Fill out the form and I'll apply for you."

"Don't spread this around. The number of places is limited."

"Thank you, Mr. Han, for your advice!"

China Film Group spends so much money every year and carries out so many support programs, I can finally get a piece of the pie!
"Film well!"

"Don't embarrass me!"

Lao Han was happy today and got drunk.

He staggered as he left, and taught him a lesson in a very fatherly manner.

"You have to take Founding of a Republic seriously and don't embarrass me."

"Of course." Zhang Yuan said, "Please help me take care of Xiang Yunda and Hua Yi."

"It's no big deal!" Old Han said vaguely and waved his hand.

"With me here, nothing can happen!"

Wang Zhonglei and Li Shaohong are his beloved relatives and friends.

One is a child of a working compound, and the other is a veteran of the Beijing Film Studio.

But no matter how close they are, can it be as close as your own daughter?
Seeing this situation, Zhang Yuan decided to have an extra layer of insurance the next time he bothered the "old man".

That's how it was settled, and with this relationship in place, everything went smoothly.

In addition to Han Jianiu, Zhang Yuan also discussed other personnel arrangements with Universal.

"Uncle Long!" After talking to Huanqiu the next day and confirming the internship, he called Chen Long again.

Zhang Yuan asked the action director of the crew to use some of the people he brought with him.

He plans to hand over this part of the work to the Cheng family team.

"Okay."

"Good, good, thank you for thinking of me." Uncle Long was very happy when he heard that he could still arrange work for his people.

Chen Long was the one who brought him to Hollywood and helped a lot.

Now that I have the opportunity, I should return the favor and give back a little.

The income in Hollywood is very high, and people in the Cheng family team can earn a lot.

In later generations, Chen Long continued to make films even when he was in his seventies and eighties.

Except for my personality, I can't stop.

Another reason is that it is for the sake of these old brothers and the younger brothers to have food to eat.

Once he stopped, many people's jobs were lost.

"As you should. Your team is all professional. You are the one who helps me check the film."

"You're welcome. It's what it is." Uncle Long replied directly, "I'll treat you to a meal."

"By the way, do you have time these days?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"I just happen to be going to an island country, why don't you come with me? I'll treat you to a tour."

"Island country...where?"

"Tokyo, Kabukicho, have you heard of it? It's a nice place and very fun." Uncle Long said in a playful voice.

The largest red-light district street in Asia... Zhang Yuan reacted as soon as he heard it.

What is he doing there? (End of this chapter)
