Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 258 Blonde Hair and Wavy Hair, FBI
The learning continued the next day.

Paramount demonstrated its film industry system and standardized processes to Qi Hui and others, including rigorous pre-production planning, division of labor and collaboration, and project management.

The most interesting one is the "green light" mechanism.

This is a mechanism for multi-departmental collaboration and data analysis to assess project feasibility, commonly known as the "green light" mechanism.

In addition to these, there are also special effects technology and visual presentation.

The most important of these are, of course, special effects technology and visual design concepts.

These are the things Guo Fan likes and desires the most.

In class, he asked the most questions, listened the most attentively, and took the most notes.

Faced with Guo Fan's question, the foreigner was somewhat helpless, but answered truthfully.

There is absolutely nothing hidden within the scope of the course syllabus.

Of course, don't assume that Americans are all selfless.

It's common knowledge that capitalists are stingy; every working person is acutely aware of this.

So why are the Paramount people so patient in answering questions?
There are naturally greater benefits!
The background to the China-US film talent exchange program is the signing of the new China-US film policy.

In addition to the original quota of 20 imported films, the mainland film market has been further opened up, with 14 new IMAX and 3D films added.

With this, the share of imported films increased to 34.

In addition, there are about 30 films whose copyrights are bought out by the mainland each year, resulting in 60-70 imported films annually.

With the increased share of film revenue, the percentage of box office revenue shared also rose from 13% to 25%.
Hollywood film studios are making so much money they're practically rolling in it.

With such enormous profits at their disposal, they naturally put in tremendous effort when teaching.

It's perfectly reasonable that Guo Fan studied diligently, given his ambition to make science fiction films.

But why did Lu Chuan study so diligently?
He's an art film director, learning these special effects techniques is useless to him... Oh, I see!
I guess that's where "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" and "Bureau 749" came from?

Two days later, after class, Qi Hui and the others left together, leaving Lu Chuan all alone again.

It wasn't Qi Hui and the others who isolated Lu Chuan, but rather he alone who isolated Qi Hui and the others.

But then, a blonde white woman in a suit appeared, dressed in an office lady style, a women's suit and a tight skirt.

Dignified and elegant, like a beautiful flower in full bloom.

"Hello," the blonde woman called out to Lu Chuan with a smile, "Can I talk to you?"

They didn't state their purpose or identify themselves.

However, Lu Chuan didn't ask, because the blood flowed from the larger head to the smaller head, and he suddenly overlooked it.

"Hello, hello... hello!" Lu Chuan's face beamed with a warm smile.

The blonde beauty smoothed her long, wavy hair and found a place to sit down with Lu Chuan.

The blonde, wavy-haired beauty first chatted about Lu Chuan, then subtly shifted the topic to Qi Hui.

Under her skillful persuasion, Lu Chuan answered all her questions without reservation.

He had already taken control of the larger group with the smaller one, and had no suspicion whatsoever.

Of course, being without suspicion does not mean being without selfish motives.

Faced with this blonde beauty, he began to do everything in his power to smear Qi Hui.

“Actually, I don’t think this person should have been sent to Hollywood,” Lu Chuan said. “He is someone who is extremely wary and hostile towards Hollywood and the United States.”

"He often looked down on America, thinking it was nothing special..."

The blonde woman smiled, but she was actually having a headache; the old man was saying all the information they already knew.

Moreover, it is also mixed with a lot of emotional bias and speculation.

These things can't be said to be completely useless, but they are certainly useless.

The blonde beauty listened to Lu Chuan's incessant chatter and even had an urge to punch him and break his nose and teeth.

At this moment, Yan Tao looked around and quickly walked over, his eyes searching.

They quickly found Lu Chuan and the blonde beauty, and their expressions immediately darkened.

"Lu Chuan!" he called out with a stern face.

Lu Chuan, who was engrossed in chatting with the beautiful woman, was startled, as if she had been caught red-handed, and was somewhat flustered.

Although he is over forty and has entered middle age, he is still somewhat lacking in composure.

Yan Tao ignored Lu Chuan and instead looked at the blonde beauty.

He looked her up and down, then asked slowly with a serious expression, "An FBI spy?"

"I'm a law enforcement officer," the woman readily admitted, directly showing her identification. There was nothing to hide... it was just that she felt a little looked down on them.

She was asking about information about several foreign actors, and at the same time, this was her own country, within her organization's law enforcement jurisdiction.

What can they do to themselves?
What else can they do besides offering the same half-hearted protests as their government?
The FBI has heard of this kind of protest countless times since 99 in Yugoslavia.

Hearing the woman's brazen admission, Lu Chuan felt a chill run down her spine and could hardly believe it.

Although he was impulsive, he wasn't stupid; he knew very well how troublesome it would be to be associated with foreign spies.

"I will explain the situation to the embassy and strongly condemn it!" Yan Tao said bluntly, even taking a picture of the woman's ID and face with his phone.

"Oh..." The blonde beauty nodded indifferently, not taking it to heart at all.

She immediately turned and left, and things unfolded as she had predicted; it was just a protest.

Yan Tao looked at Lu Chuan, his face as black as charcoal.

Lu Chuan's forehead was sweating, and her hands clenched into fists involuntarily, then relaxed.

He knew he was in trouble.

"Go back!" Yan Tao snorted coldly.

……

Hotels
In Yan Tao's room, seven people gathered together for a meeting.

At the meeting, Yan Tao spoke first, reporting that Lu Chuan had encountered a spy and had a long conversation with him.

Lu Chuan was the second to speak and was asked to recount the events of the day in great detail.

Any omissions will be treated as concealment!
Kuang Jie spoke third, severely criticizing Lu Chuan for her foolish behavior of carelessly leaking her colleague's information without any vigilance.

This matter is extremely serious; strictly speaking, it could even be considered treason and the betrayal of information.

If the FBI offered money or other benefits in exchange, Lu Chuan would have already broken the law, and it's not impossible that she could be taken back and prosecuted.

However, since no damage or impact was caused, the information provided was not very useful.

The information he provided was less detailed than what could be found on the Simplified Chinese internet.

It has to be said that Lu Chuan is truly a talent, but he's good at nothing.

They didn't even provide detailed information when they sold intelligence.

Because she's so useless... cough, in view of this, Yan Tao and Kuang Jie are currently giving Lu Chuan a severe reprimand.

At the same time, the embassy and domestic authorities were notified, and instructions from the organization and China Film Group were awaited.

Lu Chuan's face turned pale, and she was covered in cold sweat. She didn't dare to say a word.

Yan Tao snorted coldly and left quickly. He needed to write a report and inform his superiors as soon as possible.

Kuang Jie glanced at Lu Chuan, expressionless, and left as well.

Guo Fan, Wu Jing, and Lu Yang looked at Lu Chuan meaningfully, clicked their tongues twice, said nothing more, and then turned and left.

Talking to this kind of person is likely to get you into trouble.

Soon, only Qi Hui and Lu Chuan remained in the room.

Lu Chuan, who was still in a state of panic, suddenly realized something was wrong and felt a chill run down her spine.

Looking up, he saw Qi Hui looking at him with a half-smile, slowly rolling up his sleeves.

"What...what are you going to do?" Lu Chuan's face changed, and she cried out in terror.

Last time when he got off the plane, Qi Hui rolled up his sleeves in the same way.

Before he could finish speaking, Qi Hui slapped him across the face.

Snapped!
With a crisp crack, Lu Chuan spun around on the spot, her face burning with pain.

"It's nothing, just to teach you a lesson," Qi Hui said calmly.

He shook his hand and turned to leave.

Lu Chuan was stunned and shocked, her burning pain mixed with her dismay, and then, she felt endless grievance.

She immediately burst into tears.

Back when he was on the set of "Looking for a Gun," the others isolated him just like they do now.

Jiang Wen bullied him just like Qi Hui!

And back then, he was just like he is now, crying his heart out in grievance.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan felt even more aggrieved and cried even harder.
