"Good boy, good boy, good boy."

“You you you, you you you…”

Pointing at Chen Cheng, Han Sanping left excitedly.

"Chen Cheng, what's wrong? Did you say something wrong?"

Seeing Han Sanping leaving, Chen Kexin walked over.

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "No."

"That……"

"Director Han is probably very excited and is seriously considering it."

"Don't fool me."

"Haha, you'll know when the time comes."

Although Chen Cheng was not sure that Han Sanping would surrender.

But Chen Cheng was 80% sure.

In fact.

Han Sanping left excitedly just now, not because he didn't want to vote.

Originally, Han Sanping didn't want to vote.

but.

Chen Cheng actually pointed out the general direction of China Film Group, which forced Han Sanping to consider it seriously.

There are not many people in the circle who can discover this.

Not to mention young people like Chen Cheng.

"To vote, or not to vote?"

After returning to China Film Group, Han Sanping was a little conflicted for a while.

If you invest, the probability of losing is very high.

If you don't vote.

It seems that "The Siege of the City in October" is indeed a good script.

"Everyone, let's have a meeting."

It was really a headache, so Han Sanping held a meeting in the company.

"Boss Han, I don't think we can invest. The investment amount is too large and it's obvious that we can't recover the cost."

"Director Han, I think we should invest. What Chen Cheng said is right. Our China Film Group is not a commercial company, nor is it for making money. Instead, it is for promoting the development of domestic films."

"If that's the case, then we will invest in all our films. In this case, not to mention China Film Group, even 10 China Film Groups wouldn't be enough to pay for the losses."

"When did we invest in all kinds of films? We only invest in good films that we think have potential."

"So what is a good movie? Does a big investment and big production mean it is a good movie? It can't be a good movie just because you say it is a good movie."

"So what do you think is a good movie?"

"A film that can make money is a good film."

"you……"

Same as Han Sanping's side.

Even if the company held a meeting, it was divided into two factions.

Seeing cannot give a result.

After the meeting, Han Sanping called Zhang Yi.

"Director Zhang, where are you now?"

"In BJ's."

"What's BJ doing, any new work?"

"I don't plan to make a movie in the near future."

"Oh, I almost forgot. You are working hard on the Olympic opening ceremony. That's amazing. I heard that you have a good chance."

"Thanks to Director Han, we are still waiting for news."

After chatting with Zhang Yi about daily life, Han Sanping said, "Director Zhang, there is a film I am unsure about. Can you help me analyze it?"

"What movie?"

"Chen Kexin recently made a film called The Besieged City in October."

"Is this Chen Desen's script from back then?"

"Yes, it was Chen Desen's script. Chen Desen traveled all over Hong Kong for this script. But a series of accidents happened. I didn't expect that after so many years, Chen Desen never gave up. However, this time Chen Kexin took over the script."

"Was it Chen Kexin or Chen Desen who took the photo?"

"It's still Chen Desen who's shooting it, and Chen Kexin is the producer. This guy is also capable, and he's raised over 7000 million in investment, but he's still short of half of that."

"We still need half of it, so the total investment will be around 1.5 million."

"Yes, the main reason is that Chen Desen has always insisted on that Central City, which is a bit expensive. Do you think this film can recoup its costs?"

"This one……"

Zhang Yi said: "Director Han, why are you asking me? You should ask Chen Kexin."

"Chen Kexin is the producer. Will he say that we can't recover our costs?"

"This too."

"You are the top director in our country. You have only made two films, Hero and Curse of the Golden Flower, with such a large investment, and you have been able to recover the cost and make a profit. So, I came to ask you."

"It's hard to say."

Zhang Yi thought for a moment and said, "One is that I didn't read the script. Of course, it's not that I didn't read the script. The main reason is that Chen Kexin and I have different shooting styles. I can't say for sure."

Zhang Yi was about to say something else when his cell phone suddenly vibrated.

Seeing the call, Zhang Yi immediately said, "Director Han, there's a call coming in. I'll take it first."

Say it.

Zhang Yi hung up the phone with Han Sanping.

This made Han Sanping a little strange: "This kid is so nervous."

After a while.

Zhang Yi called again: "Director Han, I'm sorry, I was too excited just now and hung up on you."

"It's okay. What happened? Why are you so excited?"

"Ha ha……"

Zhang Yi smiled foolishly.

Han Sanping was amused: "Director Zhang, you are laughing so happily. It's obviously a big deal... Let me think... Yi, don't tell me that there is news from the Olympic Committee."

"Thank you Director Han, there is indeed news."

Zhang Yi nodded excitedly: "We have passed the second round. If nothing unexpected happens, my plan will be adopted for the Olympic opening ceremony."

"It's a big happy event. Yi, please set up a few tables."

"I have to show off, but not now. It's too high-profile. I, I, I..."

Zhang Yi was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

Seeing this, Han Sanping said, "Yi, congratulations, congratulations, let's get together when we have time. I won't bother you for now, you should also tell everyone the good news."

"Thank you, Director Han, thank you... Let's talk next time."

hang up the phone.

Han Sanping was also a little excited.

On the one hand, I am excited that the Olympics are about to begin.

This kind of event makes every Chinese person's blood boil.

Another thing is that Zhang Yi's opening ceremony plan was selected by the Olympic Committee, and Han Sanping was also happy for Zhang Yi.

“It would be nice if there were more Zhang Yis in the country.”

Han Sanping couldn't help but say.

Just after saying this, Han Sanping shook his head.

This kind of thing can only be encountered by chance.

There is only one Zhang Yi.

Some directors as strong as him always say they want to be on par with Zhang Yi, but when it comes to the crucial moment, there is still a big gap between them and Zhang Yi.

Think about it this way.

Han Sanping was also a little depressed.

If the Olympic Committee adopts Zhang Yimou's opening ceremony plan, it means that Zhang Yimou may not have any new films in the next two years.

This is indeed a huge regret for the development of mainland films.

Why think so much?

This is a grand event.

Zhang Yi was selected by the Olympic Committee. I believe that after the opening of the Olympics, Zhang Yi's vision and directing skills will be elevated to a higher level.

This is also a grand event for the development of domestic films.

"Hey, it seems that Chen Cheng is also involved in Zhang Yi's opening ceremony design team."

A thrill.

Han Sanping called Zhang Yi again.

There was no answer on the other end of the phone.

Han Sanping didn't fight again.

He knew that Zhang Yi's phone would probably be flooded with calls.

"Chen Cheng, have you joined Director Zhang's Olympic opening ceremony design team?"

After thinking about it, Han Sanping called Chen Cheng.

"Yes." Chen Cheng nodded.

Han Sanping clapped his hands and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Chen Cheng didn't quite understand: "Director Han, what's the point? Could it be that this kind of thing can add points? Besides, our proposal has not been adopted by the Olympic Committee yet."

"Who said it wasn't adopted? The news was announced today."

"Really? Why didn't I know?"

Han Sanping smiled and said, "Of course you don't know. This has just been confirmed. I think Director Zhang will contact you soon. That's all. Bye."

"???"

A question mark on his face.

Chen Cheng really didn't know what Han Sanping was talking about on the phone just now.

However, Chen Cheng was still very excited when he received Han Sanping's call.

If the Olympic Committee really confirms it, it will be an extremely glorious thing.

Even if Chen Cheng was just a participant and not the chief director.

But soon.

Zhang Yi's phone call confirmed the news.

"Ahhh, Director Zhang, you are so awesome."

"Director Zhang, you are my idol."

"Director Zhang, please accept my knee."

Chen Cheng really admires Zhang Yi.

Although Chen Cheng contributed a lot to the design of this Olympic opening ceremony.

But Chen Cheng’s family knows their own business.

The series of plans that Chen Cheng came up with were all from Zhang Yi’s team in his previous life.

He just came up with these ideas in advance.

"Chen Cheng, stop yelling. You're making me deaf."

"Thanks to you this time, you have made a great contribution to our team."

"When I design the Olympic opening ceremony, you must come and help me. Of course, it will not affect your filming."

Zhang Yi also said excitedly.

"No problem. Um, Director Zhang, do you get paid for working for the Olympic Committee?"

"Pfft...what's going on in your brain?"

"Well, there's no salary."

"No, when others heard the news, they were extremely excited. They wouldn't care about wages or anything like that."

"Director Zhang, you are a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man. I am poor."

In the past, Chen Cheng didn’t feel that he was poor.

After all, I have been working behind the scenes, although I am not paid much.

But all the jobs I got into were big productions, and I did various kinds of supervisor and director work.

Even if they get paid, they get much more than ordinary people.

You can get a lot.

Only when he compared the investment amount of a film did Chen Cheng realize how poor he was.

"Well, there is wages, there must be wages."

Defeated by Chen Cheng, Zhang Yi said helplessly.

……

"Director Han, did you call me just now?"

Announce the good news to everyone.

Two hours later, Zhang Yi discovered that Han Sanping had called him again.

"Yes, I was going to ask you if Chen Cheng is on your team, but now it's alright."

With confirmation from Chen Cheng, Han Sanping had made the decision.

But Zhang Yi added: "Speaking of Chen Cheng, I have to praise him. Director Han, if you have any movies in the future, feel free to focus on Chen Cheng."

"Yi, what's your situation? Is Chen Cheng your godson?"

"It would be great if I had such a godson."

"Then why do you care about him so much?"

"You take good care of him, don't you?"

"I'm not……"

Han Sanping was a little embarrassed: "I like this little guy because he is hardworking, technically savvy, and can stand up to those guys in Hong Kong."

"Director Han, Chen Cheng is not only good at technology, he also has a high aesthetic sense."

"Why, your aesthetic taste is even higher than that of a photographer like you?"

"What do you think?"

Zhang Yi said: "To tell you the truth, several key ideas for the opening ceremony of the Olympics were created by Chen Cheng. If it weren't for Chen Cheng, I guess it would be a little unknown who would be chosen for the opening ceremony."

"Oh my god...Yi, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Han Sanping was stunned.

Although he just learned that Chen Cheng had indeed joined Zhang Yi's team.

But he thought.

Chen Cheng joined just to be an assistant or something.

Just like when Chen Cheng was an assistant director in previous films.

Although the assistant director can handle many things, he cannot take the lead.

But now, listening to Zhang Yi, the creative plan for the Olympic opening ceremony was thanks to Chen Cheng.

"What did you say earlier?"

Zhang Yi didn't know what Han Sanping meant: "How could I tell you earlier? You know that things like this must be kept secret until the answer is announced. I dare not say more."

"Okay, okay, I get it, let's talk next time."

Han Sanping hung up the phone.

then.

After a while, Han Sanping called Chen Kexin and asked, "Director Chen, how much investment do you still need for "The Besieged City"? "

"7000."

"it is good."

Han Sanping nodded: "We, China Film Group, will invest 5000 million."

"what?"

Chen Kexin thought he had heard wrongly: "Director Han, you are investing 5000 million?"

"Correct."

Han Sanping confirmed again: "There are 2000 million left, can you handle it?"

"can."

Chen Kexin shouted excitedly: "Of course I can do it."

What else is there to say?
With the 5000 million from China Film Investment, if Chen Kexin can't even handle the remaining 2000 million, then he will have to eat shit.
……

The next day.

Still in Hong Kong.

Chen Cheng and Chen Kexin have been staying in Hong Kong these days and have not returned.

I didn't go back not because the scenery of Hong Kong is beautiful.

In fact, everyone was a little unwilling to accept the fact that they did not attract any investment.

Chen Cheng received a call from Chen Kexin, saying that there was a meeting.

But when Chen Cheng met Chen Kexin.

Chen Kexin stood up excitedly: "Director Chen, sit here."

"Director Chen, have some tea."

"Director Chen, let me massage your shoulders..."

Chen Kexin's mysterious actions left Chen Cheng confused.

"Director Chen, what's wrong with you? I feel a little nervous."
