Huayu: Are you even sitting up straight? You're going to be the director?

Chapter 98: A donation of tens of millions! Three films!
Others don't know,
Cao Zhong knew very well that
Next year, Piaoliang will be hit by a massive and extremely severe tsunami.

On key indicators such as GDP, stock market, and unemployment rate.

It took nine years for her to fully recover.

Immediately following was that standoff.

Pretty is someone who is very good at slapping others in the face.

Moreover, if they can take action, they will never talk much.

A two-tiered competition, followed by disintegration; Japan's economic development exceeded 50% of its target, but a single agreement led to stagnation for thirty years.

Not to mention those small countries that produce laundry detergent.

Even much later, a single display of muscle could immediately spark the Java Spring or the Nibar Spring.

After all, I studied mathematics in my previous life.
Cao Zhong knew very well that as soon as the economy exceeded a respectable 40%, he would immediately take action.

Various means,

Coming in abundance.

but,
Why did they still let the rabbit get up?
It was purely because of the euro and the financial system that I was so caught up in the situation. After a moment of reflection and analysis, I realized there was a standoff.

It was too late when they realized...

In order to get the rabbit to help fight the Euro, they opened a Pandora's box themselves, only to find that a systemic monster had been released and could not be closed.

Cao Zhong's current skill level and rank

It would have been enough for him to live a life of idleness and complacency for the next twenty years, with plenty of opportunities to engage in intimate interactions with most female celebrities, but Cao Zhong didn't want that.

On the contrary, Cao Zhong was well aware that this period was the best time to make great strides in developing the film industry.

Because the Americans are too busy to deal with you, and they don't even consider you a competitor.

Bollywood developed during this period in its previous life.

During this period, Cao Zhong only made some moves in the cultural field, specifically the film industry, and it did not have a significant impact.

Therefore, we can make great strides forward.

Cao Zhong must admit that competing with Hollywood blockbusters for a huge box office market presents challenges.

The development of the film industry is not something that can be achieved overnight, but doing nothing is certainly a mistake.

As I said before, embarking on this journey to the West is more important than reaching the sacred mountain.

If we're going to do it,

Cao Zhong knew that public opinion would also be difficult, and his situation would probably be similar to that of Wu Jing, Feng Ji, and Jiaozi in his previous life, but with even greater resistance.

Therefore, Cao Zhong believed that the Smiths were also winners in their PPT presentations.

Dumplings can retreat gracefully and simply disappear. At that time, there's no need for dumplings to hold things together; a single statement of global strikes would suffice.

Cao Zhong could certainly retreat, but he didn't want to. He had to hold up a hidden banner on ysxt's high ground.

Leave at least a small piece of high ground.

Let's not end up like later generations, where everything is basically ruined.

During this period, Cao Zhong was able to subtly influence many things by using the grand audiovisual tool of film.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, and after some meaningless small talk, Han Sanpin finally got down to business.

"Then, shall we talk about serious business?"

After those words were spoken, the entire room fell silent!
The two kings from Huayi Brothers, Wang Changtian from Enlight Media, and Yu Dong from Bona Film Group all instinctively looked at Cao Zhong.

Feng Xiaogang also knew that something important was about to happen.

Cao Zhong smiled and reminded him, "Chairman Han, you're in too much of a hurry. Have you forgotten something?"

Han Sanpin was indeed quite anxious. After Cao Zhong's words, he slapped his forehead and hurriedly sent someone to call the host.

The host quickly cued the flow of the program.

The media outlets that were invited quickly experienced the most astonishing thing at the celebration banquet.

Han Sanpin stood on the red carpet in front of the banquet hall and addressed the crowd.

"The day Director Cao and I sat in the China Film Group office, he said a lot to me, and thinking back, it's still vivid in my mind."
Because of that conversation, China Film Group decided to produce the film, using it as a pilot project and an exploration.

But looking at the box office of "Nanjing Photo Studio," it suddenly and quickly broke that nine-year record.
To be honest, I was indeed very excited and moved.

Han Sanpin's eyes sharpened as he spoke.

"However, given some events that occurred before and after this film, I feel it is necessary to say a few words."

"Nanjing Photo Studio" has found a new path for the Chinese film market and boosted the morale of the entire industry.

During my ongoing communication with Director Cao, I was inspired many times to come up with a new concept.

I have to commend Director Cao and "Nanjing Photo Studio" for ushering in a new era for Chinese cinema.

It has ushered in a new chapter for Chinese cinema.

This is a victory for all Chinese filmmakers.

Director Cao and the main creative team's hard work, sweat, and creative attitude are all worthy of study and emulation by every filmmaker.

In the future, we will also strengthen planning and guidance...

……

You've probably heard about the controversies surrounding the Nanjing Photo Studio both inside and outside the venue.

China Film Group welcomes all kinds of artistic creations and experiments, but there are certain red lines and bottom lines that cannot be crossed!
Therefore, some things are better off dead; once they're gone, they're gone.

In the future, we still hope that Chinese film and television creation will flourish like a garden in spring.

I also hope that all literary and artistic workers will learn from Director Cao, delve into the story, and create vivid character details. Even in a tragic background, we should use a positive narrative to showcase stories that belong to China. I also hope that everyone will strive to make more and more film and television works lay the foundation for the marketization of our film industry, and take more and more solid steps.

I hope that in the future, more and more Chinese films will surpass the box office of *Titanic*! Furthermore, after discussions, China Film Group and Director Cao decided to donate ten million yuan to the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders, which provided us with the list of survivors!

The moment Han Sanpin finished speaking, the banquet hall erupted in an uproar!
Those media outlets never expected to see this kind of news today; their hands were trembling with excitement.

The heads of several film production companies exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.

Chairman Han has gone all out!

Although Cao Zhong is already a director with a box office of nearly 400 million.
However, the online debate surrounding this film has been ongoing and rhythmic.

The voices advocating "profiteering from national disasters" have been persistent.

Regardless of what those voices say, donating these tens of millions has silenced 99% of them.

Ning Hao and Xing Aina exchanged a glance and couldn't help but move closer to Wang Hongwei, "Teacher, what exactly did Director Cao say to Chairman Han when he was at China Film Group?"

Ning Hao was curious.

He personally witnessed Cao Zhong rise from a conman who had fooled Jing Tian to this position.

The impact was tremendous!
Last year he was considered a beacon of hope for directors at the Beijing Film Academy, but what hope is he now? Who even mentions him anymore!
Chairman Han has stopped paying attention to him.

After Han Sanpin finished speaking, Cao Zhong also went on stage to give a speech.

"When I decided to start making this movie, I immediately contacted Chairman Han. Without Chairman Han's firm support, this movie would never have come to be seen."

Cao Zhong gave Han Sanpin a lot of face, a lot of respect.

"Without the help and support of the JS provincial government and the NJ municipal government, and without the support of many main cast and crew members who worked for low or even zero pay, our filming would not have gone so smoothly. As for me, without the supporters who spoke up for me on the internet, I would not have been able to get to this point."

But most importantly, I need to thank the nearly ten million viewers of "Nanjing Photo Studio". It is your enthusiasm, your passionate hearts, your trust in me and your recognition of the sincere mass historical narrative mode that have supported "Nanjing Photo Studio"!
I believe that your recognition will also become the future direction for all filmmakers present here, and even those who have seen the reports.

I also hope that in the future, Chinese filmmakers will be able to bring better film and television works to all audiences.

I promise that every film produced by Chengying in the future will be made with sincerity towards the audience. We will put in the effort and real skill, rather than just trying to make quick money. We will use our stories to keep the audience glued to the theater and in front of the screen!

Chengying is about to launch three new projects, and we hope that all viewers will trust in Chengying's sincerity!

As Cao Zhong finished speaking, applause broke out in the audience.

The media also keenly identified the key point.

More excited!

Cao Zhongzhen is an insider in the entertainment media; he's got real inside stories, he really knows what he's got!
Provide emotional blows from the outside, and new film projects from the inside.

The news coverage is absolutely top-notch!

The moment the production company executives looked at Cao Zhong, they saw him as a highly sought-after commodity.

Three new projects?
Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei exchanged a glance, their heads buzzing, their eyes gleaming with a green light!

Wang Changtian's hand, holding the wine glass, was trembling slightly, and his mind was screaming, "I want to get on the bus, I want to get on the bus."

Only Yu Dong wanted to slap himself. Calling it a celebration was no different from sending someone off to their death.

The situation is clearly problematic now that the copy wasn't taken and is now weighing heavily on Jiang Wen. Hearing Cao Zhong announce the new project, he's sweating profusely with anxiety.

He made up his mind that even if it meant taking out a loan and mortgaging his house and wife, he had to get this car.

You can't make the same mistake twice in your life!
Han Sanpin's heart trembled involuntarily. This victory celebration banquet was well worth it!

Cao Zhong, that kid, has finally shown his true colors.

This agreement must be signed today, no matter what.

Previously, Cao Zhong had kept him in suspense, even specifically saying that they would discuss it at the victory celebration banquet.
Once a director with a budget of nearly 400 million yuan makes a statement in front of the media, it's hard to take it back.

Without realizing it, Han Sanpin suddenly discovered that his heart was no longer with Chen Kaige, but entirely with Cao Zhong.

Without him even realizing it, he had fallen for someone else!
……

After the media left, Cao Zhong gathered the main creative team together.

Not only the actors, but also the photographer Wang Hongwei helped find, Ning Hao's friend Du Jie, Shen Ao, and a group of behind-the-scenes staff.

"Back then, I took advantage of all the actors and teachers a lot in terms of their pay." Cao Zhong raised his glass. "In this respect, it was indeed my fault. In this world, how can anyone work for free? After discussing with Chairman Han, we have decided to make up for the lost pay and give everyone a bonus of more than five million."

Wang Renjun said with a smile, "Director Cao said that if everyone gives him face, he will give them gold."

Yang Mi and Jing Tian, ​​who were standing nearby, overheard this.

Yang Mi narrowed her eyes, remembering how Cao Zhong had initially asked her for payment, and felt so upset she wanted to cry.

If you give someone gold, what can you give them in return?

Jing Tian glanced at the road administration and was deeply shocked.

Hearing that Cao Zhong was even withholding her pay, she realized something was wrong.
"So that casually given me the money for breakfast back then created a famous film director?"

After confirming the reward information with the behind-the-scenes staff, they were told to relax in the banquet hall, and then everyone went into a private room.

Cao Zhong suddenly remembered something and went out to call for help.

"Jing Tian, ​​Chairman Lu, Shen Ao, Xu Zheng, please come in together."

Yang Mi watched as the angel investor followed him inside.
Cao Zhong didn't call out to him.
Suddenly, I felt a sense of loss that was hard to hide.

Yang Mi was fuming and eating and drinking outside, feeling a bit wronged, but Cao Zhong didn't even see her.

In the private room.

Everyone sat down around the table.

Han Sanpin is naturally in the main seat.

Cao Zhong was placed next to Han Sanpin, and next to Cao Zhong, Lu Zheng sat down, followed by Shen Ao, Xu Zheng, and Jing Tian.

This move made the other executives shrink back in surprise.
