They surrounded me right after the breakup.

Xu Li took his phone, walked to the window, and dialed Guo Fan's number.

After a few seconds, the call was connected.

"Director Guo, it's me, Xu Li."

"There's something I want to discuss with you. Mr. Jiang from Xingyue Media would like to meet with you and Teacher Liu."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by an barely suppressed burst of excitement.

"General Manager Jiang?"

"It's Xingyue Media, the one that invested in Nezha."

Guo Fan's voice rose noticeably: "When? Where?"

Xu Li turned to look at Jiang Han, who was leaning back on the sofa flipping through a script without even looking up.

"Let's do it this afternoon, you can choose the location."

Xu Li repeated it to himself on his phone.

Guo Fan replied very quickly: "A teahouse! The old teahouse near our office!"

"Bring General Manager Jiang here, I'll inform Teacher Liu immediately!"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Li put down his phone, feeling inexplicably excited.

He has been a producer for so many years and has met countless investors.

But Star Moon Media is different.

Since its release, Nezha has been breaking records every day.

It broke 100 million on the first day, 500 million by the end of the first week, and 1 billion in ten days.

The box office figures are still rising.

The man in front of us is the one who invested in Nezha.

"President Jiang, it's arranged for 3 PM."

Jiang Han nodded and continued flipping through the script.

Zhang Xiaoyi stood to the side, her briefcase having been put down at some point.

From the moment she entered the door until now, her understanding has been repeatedly refreshed.

Mr. Jiang viewed the property for half an hour and signed a 6000 million yuan contract.

Then I learned that this Mr. Jiang had voted for Nezha, which is currently incredibly popular.

She doesn't usually pay much attention to the entertainment industry, but her colleagues talk about Nezha all the time in the office.

When those fragmented impressions are pieced together, it turns out to be the man in front of me.

But these weren't the things that confused her the most.

View properties and inquire about prices, sign contracts and pay deposits, learn about film projects, and finally meet with directors and original authors.

The entire process was completed in one go, without the slightest pause.

The 6000 million yuan property seems more like a side note to Mr. Jiang.

What he was really interested in was the science fiction film called "The Wandering Earth".

The mere mention of "science fiction film" made Zhang Xiaoyi instinctively want to frown.

My colleagues often complain during their lunch break that domestically produced movies have cheap special effects.

But when Producer Xu sold his old house for a science fiction film, President Jiang's first reaction was excitement.

These two men are both insane!

Maybe they're not crazy, maybe they're just not standing at a high enough level.

Xu Li put his phone back in his pocket and sat down again, his mood completely different now.

The reluctance to sell the house has completely disappeared, replaced by excitement.

The achievements of Xingyue Media during this period are evident to everyone in the industry.

Mao Buyi became the most watched singer-songwriter, and Phoenix Trumpchi became a national idol.

Nezha is making headlines in the box office history of animated films every day.

One thing after another happened, all under the watchful eyes of people in the industry.

People went from initial skepticism to surprise to complete admiration.

You have to admire them; they just keep getting things right.

Star Moon Media itself has become a prestigious brand.

Xu Li picked up the teacup and found that his hand was no longer shaking.

As he put down his cup, he noticed that Jiang Han was still flipping through the script.

The occasional pauses are precisely the most brilliant elements of the script.

Planetary engines, dungeons, saturation rescue...

These concepts are vividly and thoroughly described in Liu Cixin's original work.

The fact that President Jiang was able to pick out these passages shows that he wasn't just pretending; he was genuinely reading them.

After a while, Jiang Han closed the script.

"Professor Xu, has the visual design for the planetary engine been finalized?"

"It's settled. Guo Fan insists on using heavy industrial aesthetics."

"We won't go for the streamlined sci-fi style of Hollywood."

Jiang Han nodded slightly; this judgment was correct.

The reason why the previous version of "The Wandering Earth" was so moving was largely due to its unique aesthetic style.

Instead of blindly copying foreign experiences, we should start from the industrial characteristics of our own country.

The engine base, tens of meters high, with exposed gears and hydraulic rods, spews blue flames in the ice and snow.

That visual impact was more soul-stirring than any streamlined spaceship.

"How involved was Mr. Liu in the script?"

"It's very high-level; he personally adapted all the key scenes and core lines."

Jiang Han returned the script to Xu Li.

"Okay, we can discuss the details when we meet this afternoon."

Xu Li knew that Jiang Han's mention of "let's chat" meant that he was quite interested.

Most investors who say they'll think about it further are actually just unsure how to refuse.

They say they'll notify you of some news, but in reality, there will be no more news.

And this man in front of me has been here since he entered.

He never said a superfluous word, but every word he uttered was direct and to the point.

Seeing that it was almost time, Zhang Xiaoyi picked up her briefcase again.

She has quietly adjusted her mindset.

Whether it's a 60 million yuan housing contract or a chance to connect with a science fiction movie, it's all good.

The amount of information provided during today's visit far exceeded the scope of a personal loan manager's responsibilities.

The only thing she was certain of was that she would have to work even harder to organize the real estate data in Shanghai when she got back.

Because this General Manager Jiang is a person who can truly get things done.

Xu Li escorted the three to the door, and the car drove out of the tree-lined road.

Shen Qingning sat in the back seat and turned off her phone screen.

She just searched for information about Guo Fan and Liu Cixin.

She had seen Guo Fan's previous film, which was well-made.

She hadn't finished reading Liu Cixin's "The Three-Body Problem," but she knew that this taciturn man had used a single novel to elevate Chinese hard science fiction to a global level.

Combined with the title "The Wandering Earth," she roughly pieced together the whole picture.

Jiang Han is ostensibly here to buy a house.

But upon learning the seller's information, he changed his plans and was already paving the way for his next battle.

Shen Qingning turned to look at Jiang Han, who was looking down at his phone, his brows expressionless.

That's the expression.

Jiang Han always appears so nonchalant before he's about to do something big!

That afternoon, on a quiet old street in Zhabei District.

There is an old teahouse that has been open for more than ten years, with an inconspicuous storefront.

The blue brick wall was covered with ivy.

In a private room by the window on the second floor, two men were already waiting.

A tall, thin man with black-rimmed glasses, slightly messy hair, and a faded plaid shirt.

In front of him was a cup of cold Longjing tea; this was Guo Fan.

The other one was quieter, slightly overweight, with calm yet sharp eyes.

Holding a glass of plain water, I occasionally peek out the window at the street scene below.

He is Liu Cixin, the leading figure in Chinese science fiction.

Footsteps came from downstairs, and Guo Fan put down his teacup and stood up.

The wooden door to the private room was pushed open, and Xu Li walked in front.

A young man in a dark gray shirt followed behind him.

Just as Guo Fan was about to speak, the other person extended their hand first.

"Director Guo, Mr. Liu, thank you for waiting!"

"I am Jiang Han."
