Run, Best Actor!

Once the intention to cooperate is agreed upon, the next step is to discuss the specific details of the cooperation.

"We know you're not short of money. How about this, we at Enlight Media will provide the behind-the-scenes team and equipment, and we'll take a 20% share of both projects."

Wang Changtian said slowly, "During this period, my company's people will help train your company's newcomers, and our company, Enlight Media, will also handle the later distribution. What do you think?"

After thinking about it carefully for a while, Liu Taile agreed to the proposal.

Indeed, at present, Jiale Media does not actually have the ability to independently produce any works.

Partnering with a large company like Enlight Media is the best option.

And since Light Chaser only took one-fifth of the share, it really isn't much.

"As for the producer, you'll probably still ask Chen Zhixi, right?"

Wang Changtian said with certainty.

"Of course, after all, the capable should do more work."

Liu Taile nodded and smiled.

"Does your company have enough directors?"

Wang Changtian asked again.

"Currently, our company has one contracted director."

Liu Taile was referring to Su Lun.

Currently, I'm gaining experience on the set of "Tiny Times," and as the executive director, I do have the opportunity to independently direct the film.

In Liu Taile's own opinion, her level is actually higher than Guo Jingming's.

Given her success in directing "How Long Will I Love U" in her later years, it seems reasonable to entrust her with a film like "Back to 20," which has some fantasy elements.

Oh, you said that her later film, "Exchange Life," failed to make it to the Spring Festival release window, resulting in a loss of tens of millions of yuan.

It can only be said that she chose the wrong actor at the time.

Casting Lei Jiayin, who is already mature beyond his years, in a role that requires him to deliberately act young is a huge mistake.

The others are alright, the failure of the film is not due to the film itself - sandwiched between "Man Jiang Hong" and "The Wandering Earth 2", the film's quality is relatively mediocre, so it can only become cannon fodder.

Therefore, in Liu Taile's view, Su Lun's film cannot be considered a complete failure.

Moreover, Su Lun now knows that this opportunity is hard-won and will be extremely cautious.

"And what about 'Flying Colors'?"

Wang Changtian asked with interest, "Can we use our lighting equipment to produce directors? We actually have some directors in our pipeline."

Currently, besides China Film Group, only Wang Changtian has the confidence to say such things in China.

On one hand, there's a group of veteran Hong Kong directors with whom they've had a long-standing friendship;

On the other hand, their new director program has a truly strong pool of younger directors.

"No need for that. Jiale Media is currently in contact with another director and we're close to finalizing a deal."

Liu Taile smiled and declined Wang Changtian's suggestion.

For key positions like film director, it's best to make the arrangements yourself to ensure peace of mind.

The director he was referring to is named Shen Ao.

That's right, he's the same post-85s director who later successfully directed films like "All for the Winner" and "The Photo Studio of Nanjing".

However, he has not yet directed a feature film and is still a new director in the industry who can only shoot short films.

Actually, Liu Taile had initially considered continuing to look for Guo Fan.

Although it might be a waste of talent, given the level of the "Guo-Gong duo," this movie is almost guaranteed to be a success.

However, when I called to ask, I found out that besides the post-production of "The Thinker in a Wheelchair" which was almost finished, Guo Fan had actually started preparing for the "My Old Classmate" project!

It is said that this is because Enlight Media has begun to accelerate the progress of its various film projects.

At that time, Liu Taile knew that Wang Changtian was very sincere about the cooperation between their two families.

This is to prepare various projects that Enlight Media is currently developing for Liu Taile to choose from.

Since the other party wanted to cooperate sincerely, Liu Taile naturally reciprocated by revealing the projects that Jiale Media was indeed going to produce.

But as I said before, as the key figure in a film project, the director should make the arrangements himself to ensure peace of mind.

"Why don't you take another look at our light-based projects?"

Wang Changtian then asked, "Although there are no suitable projects from 13, I think there are still a few projects from 14 that would be very suitable for our two companies to collaborate on."

"Uncle Wang, aren't we already working together?"

Liu Taile laughed and said, "I will definitely invest in Guo Fan's movie 'My Old Classmate,' and I'd like to shamelessly ask for the role of Lin Yi, the male lead."

I'm sorry, Lin Gengxin.

But as for movie resources, whoever gets them first keeps them!

"Okay, you can play this role."

Wang Changtian readily agreed, even seeming to be more than happy to accept it.

"Actually, there's a movie that would be more suitable for our two companies to collaborate on."

As he spoke, Wang Changtian's eyes deepened, "It's because actor Deng Chao also wants to cross over into directing. He submitted a script called 'The Breakup Guru.' I think the female lead, Ye Xiaochun, is very suitable for Yang Mi to play."

Well, there's no need for Empress Sun Li to recommend anymore; Boss Wang directly selected the lead actor!

"Could I take a look at that script first?"

Although I knew that Yang Mi was the only one who could play the role, I still had to put on a show.

"Of course."

Wang Changtian immediately had his secretary bring Liu Taile several project proposals.

Actually, there are only four books: "The Four Great Constables 2 & 3", "The Breakup Guru", and "Dearest"!

"Um?!"

Upon seeing the last book, Liu Taile was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting to see it almost two years in advance.

Are you interested in this project?

Wang Changtian, who had been observing Liu Taile, immediately noticed what the other party was looking for: "It is indeed a good project, a work by Hong Kong director Chen Kexin."

However, this project isn't primarily controlled by our company, but if you're interested in investing, Xiao Le, I can help persuade them.

"Yes, director Chen Kexin's works are always good."

As Liu Taile spoke, he first picked up the script of "Dearest" and started reading.

Although everyone in the industry knows that Chen Kexin is a scoundrel who embezzles film crew funds during production, he is indeed a mature commercial film director.

Next year, his film "American Dreams in China" will be released, raking in over 5 million yuan at the box office and making Huang Da'an a Golden Rooster Award winner.

From then on, Chen Kexin became a highly influential director in the industry.

Therefore, after "American Dreams in China", "Dearest" can be said to have attracted much attention.

After a while, Liu Taile put down the project proposal and couldn't help but sigh, "This script is really good. If I were five years older, I would want to compete for the male lead role, Tian Wenjun."

"So confident in yourself?"

Wang Changtian asked in surprise.

"Our motto in the sports world is, 'Once you step onto the field, you must have absolute confidence in yourself.'"

Liu Taile said calmly, "I dare to challenge even Bolt, what else wouldn't I dare to do!"

Having crossed over into the film and television industry, I firmly believe I am the best!

"Great!"

Wang Changtian gave Liu Taile a thumbs up, then looked at his legs with regret, saying, "If nothing had happened, you would have easily won your second Olympic medal."

"It's all in the past."

Liu Taile gently stroked his right knee. "One must always look forward."

"Are there any characters you like in the script for 'Dearest'?"

Wang Changtian asked again.

"Uncle Wang, I'd like to play the roles of Gao Xia and Fan Yun, is that alright?"

Liu Taile gently countered with a question.

"Since you call me 'Grandpa,' Xiao Le, is there anything else you can or can't do?"

Wang Changtian chuckled and waved his hand domineeringly, "Don't worry, I'll definitely get those two roles for you."

"Thank you so much, Uncle Wang!"

Liu Taile expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

Gao Xia, a down-on-his-luck lawyer, was someone Liu Taile had asked for.

Fan Yun, Han Dezhong's wife, was given to Yang Mi.
