"Director Cheng, it's been a pleasure working with you. I'll take this film."

Liu Dehua extended his hand.

Although Zheng He was a eunuch, he was a unique figure and a positive character in history. Playing such a eunuch would not affect his image, which is why Liu Dehua made up his mind to portray him.

"Pleasant to work with."

Cheng Sheng and Liu Dehua shook hands.

Afterwards, the two chatted about the new film.

Not long after, the car that was supposed to pick up Liu Dehua arrived. Liu Dehua originally wanted to invite Cheng Sheng to come along, but Cheng Sheng declined because the car that was supposed to pick him up had also arrived.

After saying goodbye to Liu Dehua, Cheng Sheng got into the car that had come to pick him up and said to the driver, Jiangsu Film Studio, "Why is it you here? Weren't you studying acting with Li Naiwen?"

"Teacher Li has something to do today," Jiangsu Ying, who was driving, said.

"After studying for so long, do you feel your acting skills have improved?" Cheng Sheng asked.

"Teacher Li taught me a lot. I feel that things I didn't understand before are now clear to me. I've made great progress."

"It's good that you're making progress. Besides learning acting skills, you also need to find time to practice martial arts. You can't have to hire a stunt double when filming big productions," Cheng Sheng instructed.

The car quickly arrived at the entrance of the residential area. After Cheng Sheng got out of the car, he let Jiangsu Ying drive back to the company by herself.

After resting at home for a night, Cheng Sheng went to the company the next day and talked to Xing Aina to learn about the company's situation.

"Crazy Stone" has been in theaters for about 10 days and its box office has reached more than 2 million yuan.

Although the box office has dropped rapidly, at this rate, it should be no problem for the film to gross over 3 million yuan after it leaves theaters.

The box office success of "Crazy Stone" also boosted Ning Hao's fame to new heights.

Ning Hao truly lives up to his reputation as a "genius director." He didn't bask in the success of "Crazy Stone," but instead produced the script for the second installment of the "Crazy Trilogy," "Crazy Traffic Jam."

The 'Crazy Trilogy' is Ning Hao's proudest work.

In another time and space, the 'Crazy Trilogy' achieved extraordinary success.

In 2009, "Crazy Racer" achieved a box office of over 100 million yuan with an investment cost of 10 million yuan.

This makes him the fourth mainland director to enter the "100 Million Yuan Club" after Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang.

Of course, that's no longer necessary, because when he was filming "Buried Alive," he was already a director with a net worth of over 100 million yuan.

Now, the box office of "Crazy Stone" has exceeded 2 million yuan.

The film "Crazy Racer" continues the style of "Crazy Stone," telling Ning Hao's "dark humor."

What were clearly tragedies were turned into comedies.

The protagonist, Geng Hao, is the embodiment of tragedy.

But he never gave up, striving to overcome his difficulties.

This is also the lesson the film teaches us through Geng Hao.

Undeterred by difficulties and dangers, forge ahead bravely!

"Crazy Racer" is also a multi-threaded comedy film, which revolves around Geng Hao, a professional cyclist who misses the gold medal by 0.01 seconds.

Within the same time and space, six story-related clues and seven different character settings will give you a complex yet hilarious unexpected experience.

In this process, the greed, vanity, and absurdity of human nature are also vividly displayed, and each actor presents the characteristics of their respective roles, forming different character personalities.

To be honest, every detail of the film, from character development to plot progression, shows the dedication and professionalism of the production team. The casting is also excellent; both the main and supporting actors are memorable, and the storyline is intricately linked.

Overall, this film is a very successful comedy that not only makes audiences laugh out loud but also provokes deep reflection on life, making it quite educational. After Ning Hao submitted the script for "Crazy Traffic Jam," Xing Aina asked Cheng Sheng a question, and Cheng Sheng immediately approved it.

The investment amount was also over ten million.

However, Cheng Sheng allocated an extra five million to Ning Hao.

If you want Ning Hao to make a movie that's better than the original, you need to be more generous with the funding.

After receiving the money, Ning Hao immediately began preparing to assemble the film crew.

The production team preferred to use the original cast and crew from "Crazy Stone".

With the box office success of "Crazy Stone," the company has been receiving a constant stream of good news.

The idol drama directed by female directors Sun Fei and Yang Ting has also wrapped up filming.

Xing Aina also announced that powerful TV stations across the country have been calling her, all hoping to acquire the broadcasting rights to the two idol dramas.

Xing Aina did not immediately agree to this, but kept delaying, hoping to see which TV station would offer the highest price before selling the first broadcast rights to them.

Currently, the most powerful TV stations in China, besides CCTV, are Hunan TV and CCTV-16.

As the leading broadcaster in China, if CCTV were to compete for the first broadcast rights, Cheng Sheng would sell the TV series to CCTV even if it meant paying him.

Unfortunately, CCTV rarely buys idol dramas.

Therefore, the main competitors are only CCTV-16 and Hunan TV.

Cheng Sheng did not interfere with Xing Aina's work, but left all matters to her to handle.

After directors Sun Fei and Yang Ting finished filming their two dramas, the company did not arrange any further work for them.

Instead, they gave the two women a month-long vacation so that the two female directors could have a good rest, since they had been working on set for almost three months.

If we were to make them work as well, it would be like treating them like cattle and horses.

Another point is that the two female directors no longer want to make idol dramas; they want to make movies.

Indeed, a director who doesn't want to make movies is definitely not a good director, and Sun Fei and Yang Ting are such people.

Cheng Sheng is very supportive of the two's desire to direct a film.

Furthermore, the company has recently purchased many novels that can be adapted into movies, and is planning to start the project next year!

Now that the two women have this plan, then these movies will be handed over to them to direct next year.

As for the lack of a director for the idol drama that the company plans to launch next year, that's not a big deal.

The company has already trained several assistant directors. They will take over Sun Fei and Yang Ting's positions and have them film idol dramas as a way to train them in advance.

Another piece of good news is that filming for "The Great Tang Dynasty 2" will be completed before the end of the year.

In "The Great Tang Dynasty 2", Cheng Sheng handed over the responsibility to his senior brother Liu Meng.

This director, who specializes in military themes, is also very skilled at directing historical films.

Apart from the initial difficulties that Cheng Sheng helped resolve, nothing unexpected happened.

In addition, Cheng Sheng would occasionally visit the set to give the crew a boost, which greatly accelerated the production process.

The second part of "Three Kingdoms" was scheduled to be released by China Film Group in three days.

Cheng Sheng did not hold a premiere for the second part of "Three Kingdoms" because there was no need for it.

When the news of the second part of "Three Kingdoms" being released was announced, the entire internet rallied to promote it, and even the top trending topics were related to the "Three Kingdoms" movie. (End of Chapter)
