In the entertainment industry, everyone has been reborn, but who will be their servant?

Chapter 70 A Burning Patriotic Heart
Since Mr. Wang was still happily spending time with his beloved son in Dalian and hadn't come to Beijing, Qin Xuan had to arrange a meeting with Shen Ao, Zhang Linke, and Li Miao first.

Of course, there were also many new faces, such as Wen Muye, Liu Yin, and Wang Chaowen from the Department of Management, who later became the producer of "All or Nothing" and "Nanjing Photo Studio".

They should be friends with the Olympic bidder.

That's how it is with connections at Beijing Film Academy; it's hard to get by even if you're in the industry, and it's even harder to get by outside of it.

Due to limited resources, they rented an office at the Beijing Film Studio as a temporary workspace and meeting place.

The Beijing Film Studio and the Beijing Film Academy were separated by only one wall. Now that they have moved, the space is vacant, but some small film and television companies still rent offices here.

After all, the facilities here are still complete, with a projector and editing table still available, and even film sets can be borrowed for free.

Those who lived nearby arrived early, while Qin Xuan, who lived far away, arrived a little later. He came with Cai Mei.

"I hope everyone had a happy New Year." Qin Xuan entered the conference room and saw them chatting.

They were having a great conversation, though I don't know what they were talking about.

"Thanks to President Xuan, I am naturally happy," Shen Ao said with a smile.

The others smiled and looked at Qin Xuan, naturally making him the center of attention.

"It's not thanks to me, it's all your choice, you deserve it."

After Qin Xuan finished speaking, he introduced, "This is my aunt, Cai Mei. She will be in charge of the finances for New Force from now on. Once the money comes in, she will settle accounts with you one by one. In addition, there are film and television investment matters. The amount of money involved in these expenditures is too much. I am really too busy and exhausted."

He shook his head as he spoke, indicating that he was truly willing but unable to do so.

After all, the company is unstable, and it's only just starting to look up that they feel it's inappropriate to put in their own people.

"That's right, there was a lot of money involved in filming three movies, around two million yuan, which really gave me a headache. I'm not good at this kind of thing, so I need someone to manage it," Shen Ao said.

Everyone else nodded, offering no objections. What objections could they possibly have? As long as President Xuan had acting opportunities and could make money, that was all that mattered.

"Then I'll have to trouble you to take good care of me from now on." Cai Mei changed her usual strictness at home and became much more amiable, after all, this was the workplace.

She resigned on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, as the small, run-down company could handle the handover quickly without waiting a month.

"Hello, Sister Cai."

"Call me 'Auntie,' are you trying to take advantage of me?"

As soon as Zhang Linke opened his mouth to greet him, Qin Xuan became serious.

The others burst into laughter!
They didn't dare call him that, he was so bold, but that also shows they had a good relationship and the atmosphere was more harmonious.

Cai Mei smiled slightly, appearing reserved due to unfamiliarity with the person.

"Later, when we apply for the Olympics, give my aunt the information on who invested in the projects before, and also give her the expenditure details for the previous three films, as they need to be reported for taxes." Qin Xuan is trying to become more professional; they can't keep operating like this.

As for the investors' contracts, he has already given them to Cai Mei. Submitting the documents is just for comparison to avoid errors.

“Okay,” Shen Ao nodded.

"Let's get down to business. Oh, and who is this?" Qin Xuan said, noticing an unfamiliar face.

He had met Wen Muye and Liu Yin, and they had drunk together.

"His name is Wang Chaowen. He's a senior in the Management Department at Beijing Film Academy. He said he wanted to come and learn from Director Xuan," Shen Ao introduced.

"What's there to learn? I'm only half-baked, and I'm being forced into this role. I'm just worried about not having anyone to help coordinate things."

Qin Xuan warmly shook his hand and said, "Welcome, welcome." "Mr. Xuan, you're too kind." Wang Chaowen was somewhat flattered, but secretly very pleased.

I felt like I had been elevated a few steps, since he was put in charge of overall coordination as soon as he arrived. It felt like a thoroughbred horse meeting its discerning owner, or a scholar dying for his confidant.

Cai Mei noticed that her nephew was acting differently than usual, like a very mature socialite.

"You're welcome. We're all brothers and family here, so don't stand on ceremony. Let's get down to business." Qin Xuan found a seat.

There's no conference table here, just some chairs and small round and square tables scattered around, feel free to sit anywhere.

"President Xuan, I think we can make a tribute film."

"Yes, many directors, both domestic and international, are vying to film stories about Nanjing. Lu Taro from our school was the first to have his script approved, and it caused quite a stir."

Qin Xuan listened and asked, "His script has already been approved, right? And it's already being filmed, isn't it?"

"Yes, but it seems there were some foreign-related risks that caused it to be suspended. Filming had just started, and it was reviewed by multiple departments at the higher level. It was revised many times, and it was even reported in the Daily News." Wen Muye said with envy, the treatment was simply amazing.

It's been revised so many times, and this is all that's been changed?
Qin Xuan knew, of course, why they wanted to make a tribute film, and he also wanted to experience the treatment that Lu Taro received.

After all, the movie hadn't even been released yet, but the mainstream media was already showering it with praise, calling him a leading figure among the sixth generation of directors.

The Beijing Film Academy also awarded him a "special prize"!
They also conducted a lot of academic research, and this was just the treatment they received before the film was released. Not to mention the various screenings organized after the release, let's just say that the box office was propped up by all those organized screenings.

If it were truly a real fight, it wouldn't have such high box office numbers; audiences aren't stupid, they'd be furious.

It is said, it is said, that Lu Taro was advised by Luc Besson to make this film, who said that he should make this film first.

However, the film and television industry both at home and abroad is indeed paying close attention to this matter. After all, it is a major historical event, otherwise it would not have been shown in so many countries, and many countries have applied for co-production.

For example, the Sino-US co-production "Nanjing Catastrophe" was released this year, and it was directed by a Taiwanese director, but it did not pass the review; and Stanley Tong was also preparing a film based on the diaries of soldiers in a notebook, but it was not made.

It's said to be a copyright dispute, but who knows the real reason?

Another notable film is Zhang Yimou's "The Flowers of War," which has also garnered significant attention.

In any case, anything involving this subject becomes a hit before it even airs, with Lu Taro being the most popular and receiving numerous accolades.

"You all tend to make patriotic films?" Qin Xuan felt a bit pressured by them. He originally wanted to make comedy films to boost box office revenue and then build up their fanbase first.

After all, he hadn't paid much attention to this matter; since his rebirth, he had been focused on the financial crisis.

I'm always thinking about making money! Making money! Making money!
"Yes, Mr. Xuan, can you write a good script?" Shen Ao looked at him.

Everyone else was also watching eagerly, after all, this was a man who could write three scripts at once, and each one had a strong storyline.

"The script is fine, and I'm willing to film it, after all, I also have a burning patriotic heart."

Qin Xuan first stated his position, then said, "I'm worried it won't pass censorship, since this subject matter has to go through the Propaganda Department, and other departments are also reviewing it at the same time, right?"

“Yes, this is a major subject matter and needs to be reviewed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and some experts. Also, some unpublished historical materials cannot be filmed,” Shen Ao said.

"That's quite troublesome." Qin Xuan remained silent.

If it's 14 years later, it's simpler; first, the local authorities will review it, and then it can be submitted directly to the State Administration for review.

Only matters involving religion or similar issues will be delegated to other fields; otherwise, they will not be used.
