Chinese entertainment director: I can wholesale Best Actress awards.

Beijing Film Academy

At this moment, the office of the head of the directing department was filled with smoke.

Han Sanping and Tian Zhuangzhuang smoked one cigarette after another.

His expression was gloomy and distressed.

Han Sanping suspected that someone was deliberately targeting him, otherwise the news that Xiao Chen had gotten into the directing department of Beijing Film Academy through back channels would not have spread so quickly and had now spread beyond the academy.

The person who used back channels is pointing directly at himself.

Tian Zhuangzhuang's expression worsened; he had just taken office as the head of the directing department and this had already happened.

There's a lot of discussion about it within the college right now.

Many trainees were filled with righteous indignation.

If a satisfactory resolution is not provided, it may damage the reputation of Beijing Film Academy.

So after discussing it with Han Sanping, we decided to take a risky approach.

Lu Chen knocked on the door and, after receiving a response, pushed it open and came in. He was immediately choked by the smoke, thinking the office was on fire; there was so much smoke.

"Xiao Chen, sit down." Han Sanping stubbed out his cigarette.

Lu Chen sat down.

Han Sanping smelled alcohol and his face darkened. "Have you been drinking?"

Lu Chen nodded.

"It's because of what the academy has been discussing these past few days," Han Sanping lectured. "You've been so discouraged by this little thing? Xiao Chen, you're an adult now. A man should stand tall and upright. How can you be so depressed over such a small setback?"

"Uncle, I won't do it again next time." Lu Chen adopted an attitude of accepting judgment.

I didn't say I was drinking because I was happy.

Say.

Is this really just a minor setback, as my uncle described?

The way Director Tian Zhuangzhuang smokes makes it seem like the office is on fire.

Luckily there was no smoke detector, otherwise it would have triggered the alarm.

"Lu Chen, there's something I need to tell you," Tian Zhuangzhuang said, stubbing out his cigarette.

Lu Chen sat ramrod straight, as if he were to be expelled.

Not worried at all.

He now possesses top-tier directing talent.

My uncle is Han Sanping.

Are you still afraid you can't become a director?

"I discussed it with Lao Han, and since there's a lot of public opinion going on right now, we've decided to have you make a film to prove that you got into the directing department based on your real skills," Tian Zhuangzhuang said.

"I'm going to make a movie?" Lu Chen was quite surprised, thinking he was going to be fired.

As for relying on genuine skills and knowledge?

How to get into the directing department.

The three people inside the room all knew each other.

"Yes, we need to start preparing now to make a movie." Han Sanping knew that if Xiao Chen was fired, the fact that he got the job through connections would be confirmed.

There's no evidence right now anyway.

Why not support Xiaochen to make a movie?

The best solution right now is to find a few professional filmmakers to help us make a decent film, and then no one will complain.

"Uncle, will your China Film Group invest in me?" Lu Chen was quite excited. He had just acquired the full potential of a director and now he had the opportunity to show his skills.

"No," Han Sanping corrected, "and China Film Group isn't mine, I'm just a manager."

She was also afraid that Xiao Chen would say these things outside.

"I understand, I understand." Lu Chen nodded, then asked, "But Uncle, China Film Group won't invest in me, I don't have any money."

Although her mother was Han Sanping's younger sister and came from a well-off family.

But pocket money can't possibly be in the millions.

Making a movie would cost at least a million dollars.

"Don't worry, I have a plan," Han Sanping said. "I've talked to your mother, and I'm planning to have your family provide the funding so you can set up a film and television company. That will solve the money problem."

If China Film Group were to invest now.

That would only give people more reason to criticize.

"Okay." Lu Chen said confidently, "Uncle, I'll film it well, I won't lose money."

"Making money from movies isn't the primary goal; the primary goal is word-of-mouth," Han Sanping continued. "And tomorrow night, you're coming to a dinner with me."

"Okay." Lu Chen didn't ask any more questions.

……

The next day, Wu Family Private Kitchen

"Third Master." Wang Chengtian, the founder of Guangxian Media, was waiting at the gate. When he saw Han Sanping coming over, he went up to greet him. "This must be Lu Chen, a freshman in the directing department of Beijing Film Academy. He has a bright future ahead of him."

"Third Master, Director Lu, please come forward." The girl next to Wang Chengtian gestured for them to proceed.

Lu Chen recognized him at a glance.

It's not about recognizing faces.

Instead, they judge by body shape.

Liu Yi.

Even with her face covered, you can recognize her at a glance.

Not to mention, she dresses sexily.

November in Beiping can be a bit chilly. Standing outside, your skin will turn red from the cold, a rosy glow that adds to your sex appeal.

We arrived at the private room.

It has heating.

Everyone took off their coats.

The waiter hung the coat on the hanger.

Liu Yan then poured wine for everyone.

"Third Master, this young lady is Liu Yan. She used to be a host, and next month she will be a signed artist with our Guangxian Media," Wang Chengtian introduced.

The contract will be officially signed next month.

"Third Master, Director Lu," Liu Yan introduced himself with a smile.

Lu Chen was a little embarrassed; he hadn't produced a single film, yet he was being called "Director Lu."

Han Sanping only glanced at Liu Yan. He had seen too many pretty girls; apart from her figure, she didn't have anything special about her.

"Third Master, our company will still need your help in the film and television industry in the future." Wang Chengtian lowered his posture, knowing how influential Han Sanping was in the film and television industry.

"That's easy to say," Han Sanping said. "The Chinese-language film industry needs more capital to flourish and for more excellent works to emerge."

"With Third Master leading the way, Chinese-language films have been thriving." Wang Chengtian flattered him, then looked at Lu Chen and said, "This must be Director Lu. He looks young and promising. We at Guangxian Media definitely have to invest in his films, and we have to do it right away, lest we miss out on a chance to make a profit."

Yesterday.

We've already discussed this matter.

Han Sanping's idea was to have Guangxian Media buy the film directed by Lu Chen.

This project is definitely going to lose money.

Wang Chengtian had specifically looked into Lu Chen.

This year's freshmen in the directing department.

Recently.

A popular figure in discussions at the Beijing Film Academy.

Rumor has it that he got in through connections.

Although there is no evidence, Wang Chengtian believes it is true.

Therefore, he can forget about making money from his films.

However, Wang Chengtian still decided to pay the money, as this would do Han Sanping a favor and benefit Guangxian Media's future development in the film and television industry.

"Then I thank Mr. Wang for his support of Xiaochen." Han Sanping picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Wang Chengtian's.

That's true too.

It's not a good time to invest in China Film Group.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have approached Guangxian Media.

And this arrangement.

They also didn't want Xiao Chen to lose the family's money.

Ninety percent of works by newcomers are unprofitable.

Furthermore, the primary goal for this film is critical acclaim, with box office revenue not being a consideration, so it is certain to end in a dismal failure at the box office.

As for both critical acclaim and box office success, that's basically impossible for a newcomer.

"Third Master, supporting new directors is something our Guangxian Media is particularly willing to do." Wang Chengtian put it nicely, without mentioning that it was because of Han Sanping.

"By the way, Mr. Wang, Xiao Chen has one more request." Han Sanping looked at Lu Chen, indicating that he could speak now.

I chatted with Xiaochen for a long time yesterday.

Xiao Chen is particularly insistent on the issue of overseas copyright.

Han Sanping plans to have Xiao Chen talk to Wang Chengtian himself today.
