I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

For 18 years, Hu Ge has never broken his promise.

He would send money to his parents every few days.

During the Chinese New Year, she would turn down all work to spend time with Zhang Mian's parents.

Hu Ge did much more than that.

He also donated more than 30 Hope Primary Schools in Zhang Mian's name, passing on Zhang Mian's love for the world to more people in need, and making many people remember Zhang Mian, this kind girl.

With such a loyal and righteous person as Brother Hu, Cheng Sheng had no reason not to use him.

In another timeline, Brother Hu harbors regrets because of Zhang Mian's situation.

But Hu Ge in this world doesn't have this regret.

Because the timeframe for this year's car accidents has passed, but no car accidents have occurred.

As for why the planned car accident did not occur?
This must have been caused by Cheng Sheng flapping his butterfly wings!
August is the month when "Three Kingdoms" was released.

This is why Hu Jintao's itinerary was changed, and also why his fate was altered.

"You were chosen as the lead because you're perfect for the role," Cheng Sheng explained briefly.

Brother Hu frowned, somewhat disbelieving the explanation.

What exactly does it mean when someone says they are "suitable for a role"?
Having been an actor for many years, Brother Hu naturally understands some of the meaning behind it.

Whether it's the assistant director, the director, or the producer, at the very beginning of project preparation, when a flood of actor information comes in and one agent after another earnestly recommends their company's artists, the most frequently mentioned, rejected, questioned, and told sentence is: We are looking for actors who are suitable for the roles.

Whether it's suitable or not is just a matter of the film and television production team's word!
"Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Director Cheng. I will definitely do my best to portray this role and will not let you down. I'd like to raise a glass to you, Director Cheng."

Brother Hu has a high EQ; he didn't press for the reason, but instead raised his glass and said...

"I am coming too."

Qiao Shan also raised his glass.

bump!
The three clinked glasses and then drank it all in one gulp.

……

Not long after Hu Ge signed with Shengli Film and Television Company for a new drama, this news was reported by the resourceful media.

This also made everyone aware that Shengli Film and Television Company's new drama project had been approved.

In an instant, everyone in the entertainment industry focused their attention on Shengli Film Company.

"Sister Hua, does Shengli Film and Television have a new drama starting production?"

Fan Shuangbing arrived at Wang Jinhua's office early in the morning and asked anxiously.

“I’ve already asked around, and Shengli Film and Television does indeed have a new drama project in development.” Wang Jinhua nodded.

"Do you know what the story is about?" Fan Shuangbing asked nervously.

"I heard it's a historical drama about political intrigue."

"A historical drama about political intrigue? Is it the same type as 'Ming Dynasty'?"

Fan Shuangbing frowned. This kind of drama is not easy to act in; you really need to have a certain level of acting skills.

However, Fan Shuangbing also believes in herself, because she is not only beautiful, but also a good actress.

"Sister Hua, has Victory Film and Television released any audition notices?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jinhua shook her head and said, "Not yet."

"Sister Hua, if I want to play the female lead, do you have any ideas?" Fan Shuangbing asked expectantly.

All of Shengli Film & Television's productions are hugely popular dramas, making their actors instant stars. If she gets a role in this drama, her status in the industry will definitely rise even higher.

"I can't guarantee it. You know that Shengli Film and Television makes all the decisions about casting, and no one else can influence it."

Wang Jinhua was also a bit speechless. Other production teams need to consider the influence of capital and listen to the opinions of investors when casting roles.

But Shengli Films is different. The partners and investors in their productions are all decided by them.

The big spenders mean nothing to them!
How the series is filmed is entirely up to Shengli Film & Television.

This is something Wang Jinhua greatly envies. Like Shengli Film and Television, she is not influenced by capital when filming, and she can choose whoever she wants to be the actor.

But Wang Jinhua didn't have that kind of capital. Unlike Shengli Film and Television, she didn't have Cheng Sheng as her pillar of strength, nor did she have a shortage of funds and didn't have to act according to the whims of capital.

"This is the first time I've met someone like Cheng Sheng. He's completely unyielding. If it were any other man, I could just snap my fingers and he'd agree to anything I said."

Fan Shuangbing recalled certain things and felt a little uneasy.

That time, she practically offered herself up, but Cheng Sheng ignored her completely.

They're absolutely blind.

They wouldn't even accept a pen delivered to their door.

Is there something poisonous about my pen?

"Sister Hua, what kind of man do you think Cheng Sheng is?" Fan Shuangbing asked angrily.

"Bingbing, let's just forget about it! No matter who he is, he's not interested in you. Don't hang yourself on him. If you don't want to film his company's movies, you can find someone else," Wang Jinhua said, her head aching.

"But his films have become internationally popular and won major European awards, something other directors don't have," Fan Shuangbing said dejectedly.

If she had other goals, she wouldn't have to fight Cheng Sheng so relentlessly.

But among so many directors in China, which one has Cheng Sheng's talent?
Can you take her to walk the red carpet at the three major European film festivals and help her win Best Actress?
What made her an international star and caught the eye of a Hollywood director?
"Don't say Sister Hua won't help you, take a look at this."

Seeing Fan Shuangbing's resentful look, Wang Jinhua handed her a small notebook.

Fan Shuangbing borrowed it with a puzzled look, and his eyes lit up. "Flash Point! Isn't this the movie that director Ye Weixin just approved not long ago? I heard that the lead actors are Zheng Zidan and Louis Koo."

“That’s right, what you have in your hand is the contract for the movie ‘Flash Point.’ After you sign it, you will be the female lead in this movie,” Wang Jinhua said with a smile.

"That's great, thank you, Sister Hua, mwah."

Upon hearing this, Fan Shuangbing happily hugged Wang Jinhua and kissed her on the cheek.

"You don't need to thank me with a kiss! Just focus on acting well in this movie," Wang Jinhua said, wiping her face.

"Okay, Sister Hua," Fan Shuangbing said happily.

"Now you're not worried about Shengli Film and Television's new drama anymore!" Wang Jinhua said with a smile.

"Why are you worrying about this? Victory Film Company only makes TV dramas, how can you compare them to movies?" Fan Shuangbing raised her chin and said arrogantly.

If you can act in movies, why would you choose to act in TV series?

Isn't being a movie star more appealing?

In fact, this is a fairly realistic choice.

Movie stars are always considered to be of a higher status than television stars.

The eight major arts of humankind: literature, painting, music, dance, sculpture, drama, architecture, and film.

Film is a globally recognized mainstream art form; to be precise, film has won out over television series.

Furthermore, film facilitates international exchange, and the three major European film festivals, including the Academy Awards, have enormous influence; no television award possesses the same prestige as Cannes. (End of Chapter)
