The only sun in Huayu

Chapter 19 Blood is Boiling

They took Wu Jing, who insisted on not staying overnight, to a hotel.

Back home, Da Mimi looked at Shen Shandeng with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Shen Shandeng broke down: "I tried to persuade him, and I'll try again tomorrow. I am a bit persuasive, but it's all just a strategy."

"I still have my bottom line."

Shen Shandeng was helpless.

How did he manage to lift himself up by stepping on his own foot with his left?

We're going to fly!

He just wanted to get into the industry!

People come to the entertainment industry for the simple routine.

If you make a normal movie, it will definitely be a bestseller.

But the industry was more complicated than he had imagined.

The schools he attended alone were quite complicated.

In his early years, he had a close relationship with the author, practically inseparable from him.

If we're going to count, the subject matter related to Japanese military officers often features them as refined and cultured, which can be attributed to this theme.

It's not just the scripts; there are also various Western influences. For example, Marco Müller, the current artistic director of the Venice Film Festival, has been active at the Beijing Film Academy for many years.

This will not be a secret to later generations.

In fields like journalism and media, the top universities inevitably have a significant number of international students.

It was indeed a highly profitable business.

By fostering an authority, an entire faction is essentially wiped out.

Tian Lili, the current head of the directing department, is one of Mark Müller's favorite fifth-generation directors.

Initially, Shen Shandeng felt that the director lacked culture and education, while he, having entered the field later in life, was already halfway to success.

The second half of the statement is correct: starting out in one's field late in life does indeed mean one is halfway to success, but it has nothing to do with academic qualifications.

The admission scores for film directing programs at art colleges are not low, especially at the Beijing Film Academy, while animation programs are actually a combination of arts and sciences.

The scores for directing majors will increase as you progress.

The academic qualifications are acceptable, but they don't produce talented individuals.

For example, communication and journalism are top-tier majors at several prestigious universities, and their admission scores are quite high.

It's terrifying to think about.

Shen Shandeng didn't want to think about it anymore.

I just know that this is more terrifying than being uneducated.

After studying overseas lottery-winning strategies and combining this with information from later generations, Shen Shandeng came to a conclusion that was both unexpected and reasonable.

Perhaps the reason why movies will fail in the future is not because they lack education and culture, but because they lack common sense.

In short, this circle is very complex.

Therefore, Shen Shandeng strives to move out of the spotlight and into places where the rules are clear.

In a time when even domestic films are facing a life-or-death crisis, Han Sanping's position certainly doesn't belong to the wolf.

It’s nice to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

However, as Shen Shandeng continued to make empty promises, it seemed that he was gradually drawing himself into the scheme.

Before going to bed.

Seeing that Shen Shandeng seemed preoccupied, Yang Mi, out of concern for her husband, comforted him, saying, "Wu Jing is optimistic about the project, and supporting you is something to be happy about."

Shen Shandeng is not a person without common sense: "One million is probably most of his savings, and it was earned through many injuries."

He's not the kind of person who uses other people's money to do his own thing, ruins people without realizing it, or even feels smug about it.

"This film will be a success!"

Shen Shandeng's gaze was firm!
"I will not fail, I will succeed!"

Once the imperial robes are donned, there's no choice but to keep going. Sometimes, as a team expands, it represents more than just one's own interests.

By this time, "The Supervisor" was no longer just his project, but also the culmination of the efforts of many others.

Da Mimi looked at Shen Shandeng, whose fighting spirit had been rekindled, and her eyes lit up. This was the man she admired!

Shen Shandeng stared straight at her: "Honey, my blood is boiling."

Da Mimi lowered her head and complained, "I can see that."

the next day.

Shen Shandeng plans to give Wu Jing a cooling-off period, as if yesterday's events never happened.

Unexpectedly, Wu Jing took the initiative to ask, "Director Shen, what about what we agreed on yesterday?"

Shen Shandeng still tried to persuade him: "Brother Jing, no one can predict the future of a movie. Even if it loses money, I'm already very touched that you have this intention."

Wu Jing was unhappy: "Director Shen, are you looking down on me? I have my own judgment. I really think highly of this project. If you respect me, give me a chance. If not, then pretend I didn't say anything."

Having been in this industry for so long, Wu Jing can tell who is serious about their work and who isn't.

Having said that, Shen Shandeng really couldn't refuse, otherwise they wouldn't be able to remain friends, so he reluctantly said, "Okay."

Wu Jing quickly replied, "Thank you."

Shen Shandeng: "."

With Wu Jing joining the team, the situation has completely changed.

The teams responsible for martial arts direction, location scouting, costumes, props, and sets can begin to be assembled.

Shen Shandeng requested: "We don't need people with a lot of honors. We need to be more cautious in Hong Kong. They need to be capable and easy to deal with, at least they need to do things for money."

After Wu Jing got busy.

Shen Shandeng took the newly revamped project to China Film Group.

Film investment management in 2007 was very rudimentary.

A common practice is for several investors to pool their money and affiliate themselves with a company that has the necessary filming qualifications. Once filming is complete, they part ways, and the copyright usually goes to the production company with the largest investment.

Previously, Shen Shandeng and China Film Group Corporation (CFGC) had adopted an affiliation model, with Shen Shandeng acting as the project initiator and affiliating with CFGC, which held a "Film Production License".

Now, Shen Shandeng hopes that China Film Group will join as a pure investor.

He organized the project and applied for a "Film Production Permit (Single Film)" from the Film Bureau in the name of his personal company, Shandeng Culture.

Once approved, Shandeng Culture will be qualified to act as the independent producer of the film, and to initiate, film, submit for review, and distribute the film as the primary producer.

The 2007 policy clearly stipulated that only state-owned or private institutions holding a "Film Production License" were allowed to produce films.

There are fewer than 200 licensed private companies nationwide. Large companies like Huayi Brothers and New Pictures certainly have them, but it is very difficult for newly established small companies to apply.

However, the policy allows for "single-piece declaration".

This is a workaround for organizations that do not have a "Film Production License" but have the ability to invest in and produce films.

When Han Sanping's secretary, Liao Yun, learned of Shen Shandeng's purpose for coming, she was stunned for a moment.

Then I got a little angry.

As the "big brother" of Chinese cinema, China Film Group has become accustomed to its dominant position.

"You said you want to initiate the project and renegotiate with China Film Group?"

Shen Shandeng said, "Secretary Liao, here's the thing: Wu Jing also invested one million in this project, and I have to be responsible for his money."

"What, Wu Jing? That Wu Jing, isn't he developing his career in Hong Kong?" Liao Yun didn't react.

Shen Shandeng explained: "It's 'Tai Chi Master.' Wu Jing, the national martial arts champion, joined the project as the assistant producer, assistant director, and martial arts instructor. I also gave him the role of the second male lead."

“He was optimistic about this project, took on multiple roles without pay, and invested one million. ‘The Supervisor’ is no longer just my personal interest, so we need to make things clear.”

Liao Yun was stunned!
incredible!

Absolutely stunning!

Wu Jing not only refused payment, but also paid for it himself.

First it was his own leader, then Wu Jing. Is Shen Shandeng Tang Sanzang? How can he have such great charisma?
What is happening to this world?
Is it still the world I know?
