This director is so innocent.

Although the script was excellent and it would feature a star-studded cast, he still didn't quite trust a newcomer's skills.

As for why they didn't trust Su Jin's technology and still invested?

With such a great script and a star-studded cast, it would be a waste of all these years if I didn't take a chance.

After listening, Han Sanping smiled but didn't say anything more.

He had a feeling that his friend would regret it terribly after the movie was released.

"As an investor, it's not a problem for me to ask for a role, is it?" Zhang Guoli suddenly asked.

"No problem, who do you want?"

"Has the village chief been decided yet? If not, I'll take him."

"OK." Han Sanping nodded, then asked, "Do you want to meet Su Jin? I need to call him over to confirm the role details."

"Alright! I'd like to see which newcomer is so bold as to prepare to direct a 20 million film so soon after their debut."

Han Sanping smiled, took out his phone, and dialed Su Jin's number.

Su Jin had just returned to the company and was somewhat surprised to see Han Sanping's call.

He pressed the answer button and said with a smile, "Hello, Third Master."

"Su Jin, are you free? Come to my office."

Although Su Jin was puzzled, she quickly replied, "Yes, Third Master, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, Su Jin went downstairs while wondering why Zuo Shandiao wanted to see him!

I kept thinking about the Grand Cherokee, but I still couldn't figure it out.

"Forget it, why think so much? You'll find out when you get there."

Open the car door, start the engine, and get it running.

With the roar of its engine, the Grand Cherokee charged forward like a ferocious beast.

Half an hour later, we arrived at the China Film Building.

Su Jin parked her car, walked into the lobby, followed the receptionist, and took the elevator to the door of Zuo Shandiao's office.

He took a deep breath and gently knocked on the door.

"Please come in," came the deep voice of Zuo Shandiao from inside.

Su Jin pushed open the door and went inside.

Zuo Shandiao sat behind a large desk, looking down at the documents.

Seeing Su Jin enter, he looked up and a smile appeared on his face.

"Third Master," Su Jin greeted politely.

"You're here, have a seat." Han Sanping stood up and pointed to the coffee table opposite him.

Su Jin turned around and saw a middle-aged man sleeping on his side on the sofa, which startled her.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was Ji Xiaolan Zhang Guoli.

What is he doing here?

Seeing this, Han Sanping came to Zhang Guoli's side, patted him on the shoulder, and told him to get up.

Zhang Guoli opened her blurry eyes, first looking at Han Sanping with a dazed expression, then noticing Su Jin sitting next to the coffee table, her expression a little awkward.

He went to bed a little late yesterday, intending to take a nap, but he overslept.

"I don't think I need to introduce this person. You should know him," Han Sanping said.

Su Jin nodded slightly, a smile appearing on her face, and stood up, saying, "Of course I know her. I grew up watching Zhang Guoli's TV dramas."

His words revealed his respect and admiration for Zhang Guoli.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guoli couldn't help but sigh that time waits for no one, and in the blink of an eye, she was already 51 years old.

After the two were seated, Han Sanping personally brewed them each a steaming cup of fragrant tea.

Su Jin took a small sip of tea, then looked up at Han Sanping and asked with a puzzled expression, "I wonder what business you have with me, Third Master?"

"It's nothing major, I just decided to invest in you, and also to discuss the role."

Su Jin was secretly delighted and quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Third Master. May I ask how much you plan to invest?"

"Eight million, and Guoli also plans to invest three million."

"Thank you, Third Master, and thank you, Teacher Guoli." Su Jin expressed her gratitude again, unable to hide her excitement.

My first project was a 20 million dollar production. Who else could do that?

He wasn't too surprised by Zhang Guoli's investment.

Zhang Guoli was among the first in China to reap the benefits of actors investing in film and television productions.

He invested in "Kangxi's Private Visits," and although "Kangxi" made money, it was his first time doing it, and he lacked experience, so the budget was overrun and he didn't make much money.

If we're talking about making money, it's "The Eloquent Ji Xiaolan," which made a fortune.

"Su Jin, Guo Li is planning to play the role of the village chief. What do you think?"

I don't think it's very good.

Zhang Guoli's portrayal of Ji Xiaolan has become so deeply ingrained in the public consciousness in recent years that viewers might find it jarring to watch him.

As for Zhang Guoli being suitable, that was just something I said offhand and doesn't count.

His ideal candidate is Li Xuejian.

But since Han Sanping has already spoken, what other opinions could he possibly have?

"Of course, that would be great. Teacher Guoli is a senior with superb acting skills and has also been a director. She can give me some guidance on set."

When Zhang Guoli heard the word "director," his lips twitched twice, and he thought of "The 601st Phone Call."

He is still heartbroken about it to this day.

What are your thoughts on the other characters?

"I want to play the village chief's son. You can decide on the other roles, Third Master." Su Jin paused, then added, "Third Master, what do you think of actor Feng Yuanzheng playing Wang Baoshan, the abusive man?"

"Hahaha..." Han Sanping and Zhang Guoli laughed at the same time after hearing this.

"You! You!" Han Sanping pointed at Su Jin, not knowing what to say.

However, he felt that Lao Feng was quite suitable for the role of Wang Baoshan, but he was afraid that Lao Feng would not take on such roles again.

Feng Yuan was so stunned that he almost became depressed after filming "Don't Talk to Strangers" and was severely criticized in real life.

Passersby who saw him warned him, "An Jiahe, don't hit Mei Ting again."

This is what northerners say. Southerners would say, "Run...run! This man beats his wife, he's so disgusting!"

"I'll give it a try with Lao Feng, but it might not work out!" Han Sanping and Feng Yuanzheng have known each other for a long time.

"What about the other characters?"

"Liqin, the village beauty; Teacher Gong Li, Third Master, could you please invite her?"

"Forget about it. Not only is it impossible for others to come, but you also don't have enough money to produce it."

"Then I have no objection. You can decide for yourself, Third Master."

"I have a good candidate for the village beauty, Liqin," Zhang Guoli suddenly said.

"Who is it?" Han Sanping asked.

"Yu Nan is a very good actress," Zhang Guoli replied.

Yu Nan is indeed a good actor.

She is very low-key, doesn't engage in hype, doesn't film romantic movies, and focuses on acting.

She's been in the industry for ten years and has won eight Best Actress awards. Isn't that amazing?

The chairman of the Berlin jury praised her as "the queen of Chinese art films".

Xie Yuan, a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy and a famous actor, once said that Yu Nan's emergence was a miracle for Chinese film culture in the new era, including the ranks of Chinese film actors.

Xu Guangtou angrily criticized Zhang Ziyi, saying, "She is not a star, not an artist, but an actress."

"Is she available?" Han Sanping asked.

"I don't know about that," Zhang Guoli said, shrugging.
