Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 230: Mr. Han is a good person
Han Shanping stared at Chen Linfeng, not daring to think how he, at such a young age, could so easily push the matter away.

This is just like a veteran.

Han Shanping intended to make the other party surrender.

I was just thinking about the rumors about this guy and the praise I had heard from some leaders.

I think it’s best not to make enemies.

After all, the project has not reached the point where it cannot be carried out.

If that time really comes, he won't be afraid of trouble unless the big boss really gives the order to protect him.

Han Shanping gritted his teeth and said, "You sit here for a while. I'm going to make a phone call. There has to be a result today."

He walked out of the room and called Wu Yusen on his cell phone.

"Director Wu, I just talked to Xiao Chen. He doesn't want to play the leading role. He just suggested that the crew can continue to revise the script. He won't make any more announcements."

Wu Yusen felt a surge of anger, this was really too much.

I've already lost face and let others step on me, but the other party is unwilling to accept it.

Is there anything more humiliating than this?

He excitedly growled into the phone, "I won't agree to change the script. This is my bottom line. If it really doesn't work, you can just change the director."

Han Shanping had guessed this would happen, and immediately said in a gentle voice to comfort him, "Not really, not really. It hasn't gotten to that point yet."

He sighed, "It's just that the funding gap has to be solved, and it's up to you. You can choose not to change the script.

You have to convince the investors who are pulling out, or find other investors to fill the gap.”

"Okay, I get it. I'll handle it myself." Wu Yusen hung up the phone indifferently.

He sat on the sofa in a daze for a while, then he pulled himself together, got up and called some familiar bosses.

A sum of tens of millions cannot be filled by one person alone.

In fact, the situation of attracting investment later was not very ideal. After all, this matter has spread in the industry.

However, as a big director for many years, he still has some fans. In addition, Wu Yusen himself has invested tens of millions, so the funding problem has been solved.

It’s a great blessing.

This is a topic for later, so let’s not mention it for now.

Han Shanping, having received preliminary assurances, no longer worried about the matter.

But things are in a mess, and the film has not even started yet, but it is already bearing the public's pessimism. If the results are really not good, the situation will be really ugly.

He was feeling depressed, and when he entered the office and saw Chen Linfeng happily drinking tea, he was immediately furious.

"You seem to be quite relaxed, even though Wu Yusen was the one who started this, your reaction is too big. Can't we discuss this matter properly?

If you feel bullied, Shen Fei is your good friend, so you can't complain to him, right? If he knows, it's the same as if I know, and he can always help you vent your anger, right? "

Chen Linfeng knew that the other party was angry and did not refute.

"Yes, I was wrong in the way I handled this matter. I was too young and forgot to seek help from my elders."

“You are so wrong.

Not to mention that if this matter is reported to me, I will definitely help you, but your school won't be able to get through it.

Think about it, as soon as this happened, your dean Zhang Jun called me. If you had reported the matter to the school earlier, the school would have helped you vent your anger.

Next time, don’t take care of everything yourself when something happens.”

Chen Linfeng nodded and started applying eye drops.

"To be honest, this matter didn't have to develop to this point. Director Wu looked down on me, so I just vented my anger and fought back. There were not many verbal fights in the entertainment industry in the past.

The key person was Zhou Runfa. His withdrawal made the matter even more serious.

The investors were originally unsure whether I was just saying it out of anger or whether I really believed it. It was Chow Yun-fat who helped them confirm it.”

A cold light flashed in Han Shanping's eyes, "I know there is a problem with him, and he will learn a lesson."

Chen Linfeng knew that this was enough to teach Zhou Runfa a lesson, as a reward for using him to cause trouble.

After that, Han Shanping changed the subject.

He also talked about what happened two days ago when Yan Cinema Director Zhang Jun called to question him.

"My old classmate almost got really anxious. I can see that he really admires you."

"The teachers at school really took good care of me, which made me feel a little ashamed."

Chen Linfeng pretended to be surprised and said, "So you are still in contact with our dean."

"That's right. We are old acquaintances. I came to your school's directing department for further study in 83, and he had just graduated and stayed on campus. We met at that time."

"You are a senior in our directing department. I didn't even know you before." Chen Linfeng refilled the teacup opposite him.

"..."

Han Shanping felt relieved. This little Chen was quite nice when he wasn't causing trouble.

The atmosphere was now relaxed.

Han Shanping took advantage of the good conversation and asked calmly, "Xiao Chen, I heard that you are going to shoot a new movie soon?"

"Well, it's being prepared and will start filming soon."

"Are you interested in finding a distribution company for your new film?"

Chen Linfeng was about to drink tea, but he paused when he heard this.

He chuckled and said, "I haven't thought about this issue yet. If President Han allows, I would like to entrust our Huaying to do it."

Chen Linfeng pretended to be in a dilemma and said, "Speaking of which, I'm still short of money for this movie. I haven't been able to attract investment. Can Mr. Han support me?"

Only a devil would believe this.

But President Han believed it and nodded in agreement.

“It’s really difficult for young people to make their first film.”

Han Shanping smiled warmly, "Huaying is committed to training outstanding young directors, and Xiao Chen, you are the most worthy candidate for investment.

I will cover any funding gaps you have. We cannot let the younger generation suffer the same hardships we went through back then."

Chen Linfeng thanked him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Han. We are still short of 200 million. Adding the 600 million we already have, the total cost will be 800 million."

When we made the budget before, publicity expenses only accounted for 20%, 120 million, which was actually not enough.

Now that Huaying has invested, it can be considered to have made up for this gap. "Is 200 million enough? Is it a little less?"

"That's enough. After all, this is an art film. If the cost is kept down, it will be easier to recover. We will have other opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Chen Linfeng said cryptically.

"Yeah, that's what you said."

The knot in Han Shanping's heart was completely resolved.

He doesn't mind the small share, it's just an excuse, and like Xiao Chen said, there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future.

He said solemnly, "You have been in the TV circle before, and now you have finally entered the big screen. We should get closer in the future. If you have any problems, just come to me directly."

Don't do such a big thing again.

Chen Linfeng smiled and said, "Then please take care of me in the future, President Han."

The two sides were not very happy at the beginning, but later they met very happily.

Everyone gained something and was happy.

When Chen Linfeng said goodbye and came out, he happened to meet Shen Fei again, and the two walked out of the door together.

On the way, Shen Fei asked about the results of the discussion, and Chen Linfeng told him one by one.

"Didn't President Han ask you to stop making comments about Red Cliff?"

"No, why would I say that? I've already said everything I need to say. Under normal circumstances, as long as Wu Yusen doesn't provoke me again, I won't speak carelessly to others."

Shen Fei exclaimed, "Boss Han really thinks highly of you. Ordinary people don't get this kind of treatment in front of him."

Chen Linfeng nodded and said seriously, "Indeed, President Han is very magnanimous and tolerant. I admire him very much."

Shen Fei smiled, "Xiao Chen, please don't express your opinion in front of me. I won't go back and tell Boss Han about it."

Chen Linfeng laughed dumbly, "I don't flatter easily. To be honest, Mr. Han is a good person. It's not easy for him to be in a high position and not get angry easily."

This is true. After being rejected, he was able to discuss future cooperation right after. He did not show any anger at all during the whole process. He is quite graceful.

Shen Fei thought to himself that that was in front of you, and anyone who saw him at other times would have to be careful.

He sighed, "Wu Yusen has learned a big lesson this time. I wonder if he will change his ways in the future."

Chen Linfeng curled his lips and said, "I think it's terrible. He is obsessed with letting Hong Kong and Taiwan stars take the lead, and our own actors have to serve as cushions.

To be honest, the two main investing companies are both from our mainland, so it is reasonable to use only mainland actors.

You are still too tolerant."

Shen Fei shook his head and said, "If we only use mainland actors, the mainland audience won't recognize us. Now among our own actors, you are the only one who can really show off.

Strictly speaking, Xiao Chen, you haven’t had any experience on the big screen, so it’s not certain whether this can be counted.”

"In two years at most, you will see mainland actors coming to the fore."

Shen Fei looked at Chen Linfeng with interest, "Do you have any basis for this?"

"There will always be film and television companies that can't stand the high pay there and try to use their own people. It won't be anyone else, but me. As for whether it will succeed, we will know when the time comes."

"Yes, we will know when the time comes."

When they arrived at the parking lot, Shen Fei asked another question.

"I heard that you commented last year that the quality of Ming Dynasty was very good, but the ratings might not be very good?"

"I mentioned this when I was chatting with my friend. Did Brother Shen hear about this too?"

Shen Fei laughed, "But a large group of people are paying attention to what you, Xiao Chen, are saying. I heard that Director Ouyang gave up buying out the copyright of "The Ming Dynasty" because of this, and now he is celebrating his luck."

"Ah?" Chen Linfeng really didn't know.

He motioned to Rowling to wait a little longer and started chatting outside the car.

"Is the copyright of "The Ming Dynasty" still in the hands of the producer?"

"Yes, in this situation, you can't stop trying to kill the wolf.

The TV station is worried that the show will fail.

The producers are worried that the show might not get good ratings on a certain channel and thus be shelved. Due to copyright issues, they are unable to try to revive the show through other means.

Of course, the premise is that your prediction that the TV series is of good quality but the ratings still cannot rise actually happens.”

For a drama of normal poor quality, the producers would definitely hope that someone would buy out the copyright.

TV stations will definitely want to buy out the copyrights of TV dramas that are of good quality and have good ratings.

This phenomenon only occurs in extreme cases where the quality is good but the ratings are temporarily poor.

At this point, Shen Fei couldn't help but be shocked and said, "Now it seems that the prophecy has come true. The ratings of "The Ming Dynasty" have been declining for a few days and are now less than 1%."

In fact, the current version of "The Ming Dynasty" has a pretty good start, because many actors in "The Tang Empire" also appear in "The Ming Dynasty".

As a result, only a small number of viewers actually noticed the show.

But "The Ming Dynasty" is indeed not suitable for TV drama viewers at this time.

Only some middle-aged male audiences were fascinated by the show.

But they don't go online much, and unlike middle-aged women, they don't like to visit households and chat about gossip, so they can't create a word-of-mouth effect.

Because of the spread of Xiao Chen's evaluation in the industry, many people are paying attention to the drama.

Judging from the reviews of professionals who have watched "The Ming Dynasty", they all praised it highly.

When it comes to quality, I give it a thumbs up.

When it comes to ratings, I can only shake my head.

This is also a very surprising phenomenon.

In recent days, Chen Linfeng has been paying attention to the comments about "Red Cliff" and has not paid much attention to the broadcast of "The Ming Dynasty".

After all, in his opinion, the answer had already been written, so there was no need to pay attention to it.

Hearing the news from Shen Fei at this time, Chen Linfeng laughed secretly in his heart. Xixi had to call him brother this time.

He was quite expectant and didn't talk any more.

Say goodbye and go home.
