I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

As far as I remember, the filming period for "Crazy Stone" was about 40 days, which is more than a month, but it has now been more than four months.

Ning is still filming in CQ.

Cheng Sheng even consulted Xing Aina about this.

Xing Aina also felt a headache after hearing this.

According to the script of "Crazy Stone", the filming should have been completed in a little over a month, but I don't know what crazy thing Ning Hao did.

They actually wanted to strive for perfection, constantly polishing the film, and even wanted the actors to give 200% of their acting skills.

We're wasting all our time on things like this.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Sheng instantly realized Ning Hao's idea. Ever since winning the award at Venice, this guy had become a bit arrogant and wanted to take "Crazy Stone" to the three major European film festivals again.

But "Crazy Stone" is just a niche comedy film in China, and such films are not popular in Europe at all!

If you take it to the three major European film festivals, it will definitely flop.

It would have been better to wrap up filming sooner and participate in a domestic film festival.

In its original history, "Crazy Stone" also won several awards in China.

At the Golden Horse Awards, "Crazy Stone" won Best Original Screenplay.

At the Huabiao Awards, I won the Best New Director Award, the Best Digital Film Award, and the Best Film Technology Award.

It won Best Film and Best Director at the 7th Chinese Film Media Awards.

In addition, "Crazy Stone" was nominated for Best Asian Film at the Hong Kong Film Awards and Best Feature Film at the Hundred Flowers Awards.

It's fair to say that "Crazy Stone" swept the domestic market, but it struggled a bit when it went abroad.

After all, the dialects in this movie would be a headache for white people.

Cheng Sheng no longer cared about Ning Hao's desire to strive for excellence and to compete in the three major European film festivals.

Since he's gotten arrogant, let him suffer a painful setback. It will also serve as a reminder that not every type of film can win awards at European film festivals.

Of course, this also served as a reminder to Cheng Sheng.

I shouldn't have invested so much money in Ning Hao. A movie that could have been made with three million was given six million by Cheng Sheng. No wonder Ning Hao is so meticulous; it's all thanks to the money.

After learning about the company, Cheng Sheng then visited Principal Xu Xiaozhong and the teachers.

Then I went to China Film Group, met with Han Sanye, and talked about the future development of domestic films.

The name Han Sanye is renowned both now and in the future. His name appears most frequently in the opening credits of domestic films, without exception.

The number of films he produced has been in the tens of thousands, if not tens of thousands.

He has always kept a low profile, and most people's impression of him is just that of a familiar symbol that frequently appears at the beginning of movies.

Only those within the industry hold him in the highest esteem.

It's no exaggeration to say that in China, if he stomped his foot, the entire film industry would tremble.

Under his leadership, China Film Group has undoubtedly become the largest film empire in China.

Although Master Han is a businessman who talks about making money, he never talks about profit when it comes to all aspects that concern the future of Chinese cinema.

Over the years, he has always supported newcomers and mentored younger generations without regard for personal gain or loss.

Feng Xiaogang's breakthrough film, "The Dream Factory," was spearheaded by Han Sanye.

Even Cheng Sheng himself relied on Master Han for distribution. For some difficult issues, like when Wu Baige targeted him, it was Master Han who helped to quell the situation.

And then there's Ning Hao; if Cheng Sheng hadn't brought Ning Hao into the company...

According to the future trajectory, initially no one was willing to steal money in Ning Hao's debut film, "Crazy Stone." It was only after Master Han read the script that he decided to invest. Not only that, Master Han also called Ning Hao to his office and bluntly stated that he wouldn't take the money earned; he would use it as the investment cost for Ning Hao's next film.

Subsequently, Han Sanye helped Ning Hao complete films such as "Crazy Racer" and "No Man's Land", which helped Ning Hao establish himself as a top-tier director.

As it turns out, Master Han's judgment was almost always correct.

It can be said that he mentored the fifth generation of Chinese directors, and many of the new generation of directors have achieved success with his help.

In order to nurture young directors and provide them with projects, he often personally went out to raise funds, and the money raised was used to support the young director program.

In Han Sanye's mind, as a leader of a large enterprise, it is his responsibility and obligation to mentor the younger generation. He is not afraid of losing money, but he is afraid of not being able to recruit talent.

Therefore, Han Sanye is most concerned about the future development of the Chinese film industry and often consults people in the industry.

This wasn't the first time Cheng Sheng and Master Han had discussed this topic.

As for this, Cheng Sheng would tell Han Sanye the answers he knew, based on the future direction of the film, as long as he could answer them.

He also intends to help Chinese films avoid some detours and help Chinese-language films surpass Hollywood as soon as possible.

The two talked about Chinese films until evening.

If it weren't for Han Sanye's secretary reminding them, the two of them wouldn't have known how much time had passed.

After having dinner with Master Han, Cheng Sheng returned home at 8 p.m.

Lying on the sofa, Cheng Sheng glanced at his QQ phone and immediately replied to the message Zeng Li had sent ten minutes ago.

A few seconds later, Zeng Li replied to the message again.

It seems Zeng Li was on her phone the whole time, otherwise she wouldn't have replied so promptly.

The two chatted for ten minutes, then Zeng Li said that Xun'er had arrived, so Cheng Sheng ended the chat.

Cheng Sheng then replied to other people's comments.

Among them is Da Tian Tian.

Back in July, Da Tiantian told him some good news: she had been admitted to the Central Academy of Drama.

You can start school in September.

Jing Tian is currently appearing on a variety show in another province to promote the movie "Three Kingdoms".

She shared some funny things that happened on a variety show on QQ.

Cheng Sheng replied to her, then tossed his phone aside and drifted off into his own thoughts, imagining the movies currently showing during the summer season.

In July, a total of four movies were released: Superman Returns, Mission: Impossible III, Dragon Tiger Gate, and X-Men 3.

Of these four movies, X-Men 3 is the most successful, grossing a whopping $4 million worldwide during the summer season. It is also the final installment of the 'X-Men trilogy'.

Despite its high cost of $2.1 million, the film's box office performance was far from successful.

In China, "X-Men 3" has also performed very well at the box office, reaching more than 30 million RMB in just over half a month since its release.

The other three films were less than satisfactory at the box office.

Four movies will be released in August, in the same period as "Three Kingdoms": "Mosby Ring", "Garfield 2", "When a Stranger Calls", and "Pirates of the Caribbean 2".

The previous four movies have been released for almost a month and no longer pose much of a threat to "Three Kingdoms".

The four movies that are about to be released are the real enemies of "Three Kingdoms".

However, Cheng Sheng didn't take these three films seriously. (End of Chapter)
