Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 598 Han Sanping: I've been tricked!

With the intention to get down to business confirmed, the atmosphere was much more harmonious than before.

At the steaming hot pot table, several people chatted and laughed as they enjoyed their hot pot, discussing work and expressing their opinions.

Han Sanping's daughter, Han Jia, listened quietly, making a very wise choice to listen more, learn more, and observe more.

Although they are about the same age, she has just graduated and doesn't know much.

Qi Hui was very satisfied with this.

The meal was enjoyed by both the host and the guests, and both sides were very satisfied.

Soon, Qi Hui contacted the three investors and the Navy to inform them that Han Sanping would be the producer of the production.

Hai Zheng was somewhat surprised by this, as Han Sanping was the former chairman of China Film Group.

Although he stepped down to become an advisor, isn't it a waste of his talents to be Qi Hui's producer?
But this is a good thing!

With a producer like Han Sanping, who has exceptional professional skills, at the helm, they have even more confidence in "Operation Red Sea"!
As for whether Han Sanping will interfere with the creative process and stand up against them... there's no need to worry about that.

Han Sanping is a retired old man, and he was parachuted in.

The production team has been fully assembled, and Qi Hui has a firm grasp on the team's finances and personnel.

Even if Han Sanping wanted to get involved in the production team's creative process, he would have to go through Qi Hui.

Han Sanping also retired from the system and will know how to properly position himself.

the other side

Upon hearing that Han Sanping was the producer of "Operation Red Sea," Yu Dong scratched his head, unsure of what to say.

Han Sanping was his former superior, and he was a soldier trained by Han Sanping.

When he founded Bernard, he didn't have distribution rights at the beginning. He only obtained the right to distribute films by being affiliated with China Film Group.

If he previously had the opportunity to interfere in the creative process, now, with Han Sanping's involvement, Berna has completely severed any possibility of interfering with Qi Hui's creative work.

Even if he had the guts, he wouldn't dare to stand up to his old boss.

What's more, Qi Hui is right there too!

Upon hearing the news that Han Sanping would be the producer, Wang Changtian was initially taken aback, but then showed surprise.

This... well, it's actually a good thing!
Although Qi Hui was exceptionally talented, he was still too young and ultimately lacked experience.

Having an experienced senior figure keeping an eye on things isn't necessarily a bad thing.

But there are some problems... If he wants to get involved in the creative process or offer his own opinions, it will probably be more difficult than before.

Wang Changtian was somewhat frustrated; Han Sanping's arrival had truly taken him by surprise.

Over the years, Han Sanping has indeed served as a producer for other films.

He has held that position, and quite a few times.

But they were just nominally in charge; they basically didn't do anything.

For example, he was one of the 33 producers of "The Secret of the Fuchun Mountains".

For example, Jackie Chan was one of the 16 producers of "Police Story 2013".

But Qi Hui's "Operation Red Sea" is different this time. Currently, there is only one producer, Han Sanping.

In other words, Han Sanping was there to actually work; he was genuinely involved in the production.

"That kid Qi Hui is really something, he actually managed to get him here..." Wang Changtian said with a hint of emotion as he took a sip of tea.

……

Meanwhile, just as everyone was feeling sentimental, Qi Hui threw a pile of documents in front of Han Sanping and his daughter.

I also introduced him to the production manager and the assistant director.

Then they patted their butts and left, leaving a few people staring at each other in bewilderment.

"So much... this is all the work you're supposed to do?" Han Sanping stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

The production manager and assistant director nodded slowly, tears welling in their eyes.

Thank goodness, finally someone has come to share the workload.

Qi Hui, the producer, was a complete hands-off manager. He only had to give orders, and they had to run around like crazy, busy with everything from start to finish.

Seeing the two of them looking so excited, Han Sanping felt a chill run down his spine and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

Somehow... he felt like he'd fallen into a pit...

After reviewing all the documents and understanding everything, Han Sanping's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth. He was certain this was a huge trap!
The matter is incredibly complicated and troublesome.

We need to consider the embassies and local governments abroad, as well as the situation and attitude of the Navy. We also need to formulate a filming plan based on Qi Hui's requirements and Yi Xin's situation.

The entire crew, so many mouths, so many things to do, and quite a few foreign actors... just looking at them gave him a splitting headache.

The only good thing is that we don't have to consider the opinions of Berna, Enlight Media, and iQiyi.

This was the best news he had ever heard.

Thank goodness!

If these three parties also get involved, he won't dare to do it.

He's an old man; he could literally work himself to death in the producer's position.

However, Han Jia's daughter, standing to the side, rolled up her sleeves and asked with great enthusiasm and energy, "Dad, shall we begin?"

"What should I do next?"

Han Sanping: "..."

No wonder they all like to hire recent graduates.

No need to urge them, they found work and started working on their own!
"Sigh..." Han Sanping sighed dejectedly, looking up at the sky. He was destined to be a busy man, and even retirement was not peaceful for him.

……

"Oh~ You're off work so early today?" Noticing Qi Hui's return, Jing Tian wiped her sweat and quickly walked out of the training room.

She had a lot of free time lately, and besides working on the script for "Ode to Joy," she also practiced her basic dance skills.

"Mmm~" Qi Hui hugged her and laughed, "A kind person came to the crew, which made things much easier for me."

"Really? That's wonderful!" Jing Tian was initially delighted and giggled, but then her expression changed slightly, and she quickly broke free from Qi Hui's embrace.
"Oh dear~ let go of me, I'm all sweaty!"

"What are you afraid of?" Qi Hui said nonchalantly, "I don't recognize any of the scents on you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jing Tian pressed her hand over Qi Hui's mouth.
"You're just talking nonsense, do you even believe me?" Jing Tian said through gritted teeth, her face flushed red.

Even after all this time, she still couldn't resist some of Qi Hui's flirtatious remarks.

With a chuckle, Qi Hui pulled her into the bathroom.

If I give you a nice, fragrant bath, you won't smell bad anymore, right?
……

夜晚
Qi Hui lay on the bed, feeling a sense of pleasure throughout his body, as if even his fingers were relaxed.

Beside her, Jing Tian lay quietly, drifting off into a sweet dream.

She had been practicing dance all day and then was ambushed by Qi Hui, so she was exhausted.

As for Qi Hui, he didn't have to work overtime today, so he was much more relaxed and not as tired as usual.

He picked up his phone and looked up some data about "Detective Chinatown".

The results... weren't as good as I'd hoped.

With a first-day box office of 91 million, it is indeed somewhat inferior compared to the films that grossed 100 to 200 million on their opening day at the beginning and middle of the year.

However, the box office revenue on the first day has already covered the costs, which is not bad.

On New Year's Day, the film's box office surged again, exceeding 100 million yuan in a single day, making it the undisputed champion of the New Year's Day box office.

In the middle of the year, Shen Teng and Ma Li, the stars of the comedy "Goodbye Mr. Loser," brought "One Thought of Paradise" to the New Year's Day period.

It was released on the same day as "Detective Chinatown".

However, compared to "Detective Chinatown", "A Moment of Paradise" did not perform as well.

A few days ago, Deng Chao and his wife Sun Li's movie "The Villain Angel" was released.

That movie... it's hard to describe!

The box office on the first day was very high, even surpassing the highest box office of Detective Chinatown on New Year's Day.

But as for what happens next... all I can say is that as long as Deng Chao doesn't do comedy, he's still a pretty good actor.

On the other side, Xiao Yang chuckled as he looked at the data from Detective Chinatown.

If this trend continues, the boss's previous investment will be profitable again!
