"Another success! 'Little Forest: Winter/Spring' is a huge success on the big screen! Breaking the box office record for Chinese-language films! 37 billion yen!"

"Little Forest: Winter/Spring" has officially concluded its run, grossing over 200 million yen domestically and internationally! "Little Life" broke the Chinese-language film box office record, raking in 37 billion yen!

"A box office miracle was born! With an investment of only three million yen, 'Little Forest' broke the record for the highest-grossing Chinese-language film, bringing the total box office earnings of the two films to 57 billion yen!"

Yu Jinghong's "Little Forest" series became a huge hit, hailed as a goddess. The two "Little Forest" films grossed a total of 57 billion yen at the box office, equivalent to 2.7 million RMB!

Produced by Beijing Film Studio, directed by Chen An, and starring Yu Jinghong, the film *Little Forest* achieved a box office miracle, breaking the record for the highest-grossing single Chinese-language film. *Winter/Spring* grossed 37 billion yen, surpassing the box office record set by *Shaolin Temple* starring Jet Li!

『.』

In this day and age, people in China love to see records broken, especially when foreign records are broken.

Many people who don't care about movies applauded when they saw it.

I love seeing China achieve success abroad, and it would be even better if they could make a decent living doing so.

This made Chen An even more sought-after, becoming a coveted prize for investors and actresses.

With the box office of "Little Days" and domestic box office, the total box office of 3 million yuan has exceeded 300 million yuan!

Together, the two films brought in over 30 million yuan each for Beijing Film Studio and Chen An, plus profits after deducting investment costs!

A return of more than 20 times, who wouldn't be envious!

Although it only grossed over 40 million yuan at the domestic box office, its overseas box office soared, directly breaking the record for Chinese-language films!

It's about six times the domestic box office revenue; the return on investment is simply unbelievable!

"Brother, this kid's movies are making so much money, we definitely have to get a stake in his next one." Huang Zhonglei, sitting in his company office, said eagerly to his older brother while holding a newspaper in his hand.

Huang Zhongjun, who was also reading a newspaper, frowned: "They have the funds, the connections, and the resources. Do you think you can just interfere like that?"

"And I also found out that when he won the Cannes award last time, Warner Bros. invited him to Hollywood, so he probably wouldn't even look at our stuff."

The circle is only so big, and he's quite well-informed. Quite a few people went to Cannes with Chen An last time, and someone always talks about it.

"The daily expenses alone amount to 270 million, and with the domestic revenue, it's already over 300 million. Are we just going to sit here and watch such a big piece of meat?" Huang Zhonglei didn't show it in front of Chen An.

But deep down, he was still like those privileged students from the military compound, and he thought Chen An was just a country bumpkin.

Huang Zhongjun, as the older brother, knew what his younger brother was thinking: "Let's wait, we can only wait. You can't survive in this industry by trying to do everything yourself."

"Before, we only won awards, but now the box office is also creating miracles. It's like a blazing fire, with flowers in full bloom, and the momentum is at its peak. There are a lot of people watching from the sidelines."

"Just like a tree that stands out in the forest, it will surely be felled by the wind. He has already made everyone envious. If he continues to play alone, even Han Sanping will not be able to protect him. They will definitely attack him together."

He glanced at his still somewhat bewildered younger brother, lit a cigarette, and said, "Our film 'The Dream Factory' is just a small-scale operation, but his is different. With a budget of three million, it grossed three hundred million at the box office—who wouldn't be envious?"

"So let's wait and see. If he keeps eating like this, someone will definitely get jealous and make a move. We'll get involved then. If he voluntarily shares, we're all in the same circle. Even if he doesn't want to, Han Sanping will definitely get a share from us."

After listening to his older brother's explanation for a while, Huang Zhonglei finally understood: "Then let's observe first, maintain a good relationship, and we'll have an advantage when the time comes."

"That's right, the first time was a success. Now everyone is watching and waiting. If his new movie, which has already been filmed, is just as good, then those people won't be able to resist."

After Huang Zhongjun finished speaking, he stubbed out his cigarette and was also glad that Feng Xiaogang under his command was only a minor player.

If it were Chen An, there would be no need to look at what would happen next; he wouldn't be able to protect it now, as it would have been snatched away by someone else.

Chen An, who was sleeping at home, received a call from the company's receptionist, something he hadn't done in a long time.

New 69 Bookstore

Countless investors called, keeping the company's front desk phone ringing non-stop.

Others came directly to the company, in droves, hoping to meet and discuss cooperation.

"My head hurts." Chen An rubbed his head to clear his head; he definitely wasn't going.

Who knows what kind of monsters and demons these investors are?

Why should I let you earn money when I can earn it myself? Are you just dreaming all day?

You're not short of money, and the Beijing Film Studio is producing and distributing it. What are you, an investor, doing here? You can't even distribute it yourself, so what are you doing here?

"No, no, tell them to go back. Guangnian Media is not accepting investment for the time being, and there are no new filming plans. Tell them to go back." Chen An instructed the receptionist to directly refuse the group of investors.

If you have tons of money to burn, don't come looking for me, buddy. I'm a legitimate guy.

Chen An thought he could finally have some peace and quiet, but he was wrong. Just a few hours later, the front desk called again.

This time, it's not those investors who don't know anything about the industry, but the major film studios.

Chen An's head was spinning even more. These were all regular troops in the country, with decades of history.

Film studios such as Shanghai Film Studio, Guangdong Film Studio, and Xi'an Film Studio all called, offering only congratulations and saying nothing else.

I also want to invite Chen An to meet me, have a meal, and I want to get to know him better.

Chen An smiled and made an excuse to postpone it, since it wouldn't be appropriate to refuse them outright since they had come with goodwill.

They all have a solid foundation.

He turned and called Han Sanping: "That's how it is. Everyone's calling all at once. I've won a lot of awards before, but I've never seen this happen."

As a partner, Chen An still wanted to discuss it with the other party in advance and make things clear first.

"I knew it all along, I had already guessed it, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and so much." Han Sanping on the other end of the phone had anticipated this. With the results revealed, Chen An would definitely become a target for cooperation from major production companies.

However, I was still very happy that Chen An called me, which showed that he remembered me.

"It's alright. You did so well this time, it's normal for others to want to cooperate with you. You're really in high demand right now." Han Sanping didn't mind. It was normal for others to contact Chen An under these circumstances.

"Moreover, cooperating with others is not a bad thing. At least they will be friends rather than rivals, and the publicity and distribution will be more powerful." Beijing Film Studio has already made a lot of money. If "My Sassy Girl" becomes a huge hit again, Beijing Film Studio alone will not be able to make enough money.

The results this time were so good, the return on investment was frighteningly high, and Han Sanping also realized that it was unlikely that he could continue to enjoy the benefits all by himself.

Ultimately, Taipei Film Studio is just one of many film studios in the country. Chen An's repeated miracles are bound to make others envious.

The fact that Chen An is willing to contact me now shows that he remembers me. Otherwise, it doesn't matter who I cooperate with, wouldn't it be better to go to Xi'an Film Studio?

Many directors worked at other film studios before joining Xi'an Film Studio.

Which domestic director wouldn't want to collaborate with Xi'an Film Studio? It boasts the largest and most professional equipment and talent pool, covering everything from directing to cinematography and lighting.

Xi'an Film Studio is always top-notch, and its achievements are the best.

But Chen An, the sixth brother, doesn't think so. Next year, by this time, Han Sanping will transform into Han Batian and dominate the Chinese film industry.

When Hollywood dominated the global film industry, it held the sole import rights to imported films and the power to arrange their release schedules, making it invincible in the domestic market.

China Film Group is the real behemoth, at least until Hollywood movies are no longer popular and the domestic market gradually becomes stronger, it is almost invincible.

Han Sanping will officially become the bandit leader who vigorously supports the rise of domestic films.

"Alright, we'll talk to them later. You know I plan to go to Hollywood, but I don't have any filming plans yet." Seeing that Han Sanping didn't have any objections, Chen An felt even less burdened.

Cooperation isn't all bad; although we might not earn as much as we do now, the results could be even better.

With the help of other production studios, the scope of publicity can be further expanded.
