Huayu Entertainment, all I can do is make bad movies.

What is the significance of the title of the film, "After living in seclusion on Earth for 14000 years, the immortal man had to resign and gave a condensed history of human civilization to a group of knowledgeable people, including historians, religious scholars, biologists, and psychologists from the world's top universities"?

This is what Wang Hai was thinking.

Since his rebirth, he has discovered that the Chinese people of this era have not yet shattered the beautiful filter of the West.

To put it bluntly, it's a bit of a Western-worshipping and foreign-fawning attitude.

Therefore, he decided to attract audiences to the cinema by giving his second film a lot of buffs, especially Western buffs.

He has already prepared two buffs.

The first layer is China's first science fiction film.

The second category is internationally award-winning films.

International award-winning works are not uncommon these days, or rather, they are not particularly eye-catching.

A few years ago, "Farewell My Concubine" won the Best Film award at Cannes.

"To Live" made Ge You the first Chinese actor to win the Best Actor award at the Cannes Film Festival.

Chinese-language films have been successfully presented at the three major European film festivals, leading to a decrease in the attention given to Berlin, Cannes, and Venice.

Moreover, it is very difficult to win this kind of award.

To make "Code Name 2" a focus of attention, a different approach was needed.

Wang Hai had a brilliant idea: he gave "Code Name 2" an extremely long title so he could apply for a Guinness World Record.

—— [The movie with the longest title in the world]

This inspiration came from a movie that came later.

"Demon Mutant Alien Ogre, Zombified Undead from the Edge of Hell Return with Wives and Children, Terrifying Attacks Day and Night, Fight for Dawn 2, Extremely Shocking 2D Version."

This spoof film with an incredibly long title of 59 characters was certified by the Guinness World Records and is considered an interesting cinematic anecdote.

Wang Hai is trying to apply what he has learned to become the first person to set this Guinness World Record.

He believes that the mere gimmick of the "Guinness World Record for Longest Movie Title" award is enough to impress audiences.

With its science fiction theme, "Code Name 2" has a very high chance of box office success.

But it also needs a lot of help.

The media is the most important element in this process.

Prior to this, Wang Hai was unsure of the current media's attitude towards pursuing free trending news.

The little money he had was a drop in the ocean compared to the national media coverage.

Expecting distributors and cinemas to voluntarily invest in promotional costs is wishful thinking.

So he tentatively played the game of "Looking for a Notice".

The experience of "Little Jingdong" served as a reassurance for Wang Hai, and "Code Name 2" was officially approved.

Film Bureau.

Upon seeing the list of Chinese movie titles, Sun Guangyuan's eyebrows twitched incessantly.

I don't know how to say it.

No, the bureau has never restricted the number of film titles.

I feel there's something strange about it.

What kind of decent director would give their personal film such an absurd title?

A concise and clear title is often easier to remember and more likely to leave a good impression on the audience.

Wang Hai, however, did the opposite. There must be some ulterior motive behind this, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't grasp it.

"Xiao Li, what do the people in charge of the review think?"

Sun Guangyuan asked Xiao Li, who had a strange expression on his face.

"The script's ideas are perfectly fine; we could only grit our teeth and agree to let it be filmed," Xiao Li said, suppressing a laugh.

"No problems at all?" Sun Guangyuan pondered for a moment.

He had contact with Wang Hai.

This person is not old, but he is exceptionally experienced in dealing with people and situations.

When I got home after dinner last time, the contents of the cardboard box that was supposedly filled with dried mushrooms said it all.

He later pondered that Wang Zhongjun's sudden visit might have been a trap deliberately set by Wang Hai.

If that's true, then Wang Hai is clearly a shrewd person.

Every action he takes is the result of careful consideration.

How could there be no problem with such a bizarre title?

But this is also Wang Hai's greatest strength.

The tabletop is always spotless.

Behind the scenes, they engage in conspiracies and intrigues, making them elusive and difficult to understand.

Sun Guangyuan tapped his fingertips on the table, then glanced at the copy of the script a few more times: "Let him film it."

Encountering a cunning person like Wang Hai left him feeling powerless.

Neptune Films

After several days of painstaking design by the employees, half of the company's area has been transformed into a cozy bedroom.

The fireplace was burning bright red.

Antique-style bookshelves.

The items on display are cheap old books that were picked up from the Panjiayuan Antique Market, along with some strange and unusual items.

Making bad movies has many advantages.

Small investment.

Art direction, props, makeup, etc. can be done simply and that's about it.

Wang Hai had more than enough 10 yuan to prepare for the filming of "Code Name 2".

As the sky darkened and it looked like it was going to snow, Wang Hai dismissed his employees, saying, "Let's leave work early. The film crew starts shooting tomorrow, so those on their day off don't need to come in."

The employees responded in unison, said "goodbye" to Wang Hai, and packed up to leave.

"Brother, not bad, you have a high reputation."

Someone in the crowd suddenly spoke up.

"Hey, Brother Qian, why are you heading north in this freezing weather? Why didn't you say hello before you arrived?"

Wang Hai looked closely and saw that it was Boss Qian, with whom he had a fairly good relationship.

This guy still owes Aquaman a share of the box office revenue.

"It's almost the end of the year, and the share of the profits I promised you might have to be delayed until after the new year, so I had no choice but to come here in person to apologize."

Wang Hai chuckled and said, "I already told you there's no rush."

Tonight is different from yesterday.

He really didn't mind the more than 100,000 yuan that Boss Qian owed.

"That's what I mean, but my brother broke his promise first, and I really feel bad about it. I wanted to ask if you could pay off the debt with a project, to put it bluntly, how about giving me a TV series project?"

Wang Hai was completely bewildered.

What does this have to do with making a TV series?

Mr. Qian explained, "It's like this: I own a small coal mine in Shaanxi Province, which mainly supplies the local area. Now the government can't come up with the funds, so they want to use projects to repay the debt."

Wang Hai roughly understood.

It's likely that Shaanxi Province was unable to pay the boss for the coal.

Knowing that Lao Qian owned a movie theater and had also ventured into the entertainment industry, he wanted to use film and television projects to pay off his debts.

Whether it's making a movie or a TV series, all sorts of equipment and even personnel are needed. The local TV station can provide these for free so that Lao Qian can make money by filming.

"You can do that?"

Wang Hai found it very novel.

Mr. Qian laughed and said, "Paying off debts with goods is too common. The problem is that I don't know how to do it, so I thought of you."

"Is it an independent project or a collaboration?" Wang Hai asked.

"The two parties are cooperating because CCTV is filming a sequel to 'Journey to the West,' and Shaanxi TV wants to follow suit and film a TV series related to 'Journey to the West.' I'm investing with debt. To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about it. I just want to see if you're interested."

Journey to the West?

Wang Hai scratched his head, wondering if it was "Journey to the West: The Sequel".

To be honest, this role really fits his current public image.

"We don't have that much money..."

Before Wang Hai could finish speaking, Boss Qian interrupted, "Hi, if you're interested, let's not talk about who lost out. All debts will be wiped clean."

Mr. Qian sighed, "To be honest, I never expected to get my money back for the coal. If someone were willing to buy the mine, I would have sold it to that small coal mine. It's troublesome and doesn't make any money."

Wang Hai's heart skipped a beat.

He lacked a deep understanding of coal mines.

However, it was also clear that after 2000, the government would decentralize coal prices to the free market, causing coal prices to skyrocket.

The coal bosses made a fortune and, out of sheer boredom, began to idolize female celebrities, thus creating a legend of coal bosses in the film and television industry.
