Qian Chen and Yuan Heping made an appointment at a slightly quieter restaurant.

Not too high-end.

The investment is not here yet, all you have to spend is your own money, so you must use it sparingly.

Yuan Heping brought someone with him to the appointment.

"His name is Yang Lu. He filmed "Cinema for the Blind". This is Qian Chen."

"Nice to meet you!"

The two shook hands, and Qian Chen estimated that this was the help Yuan Heping had hired.

A movie involves hundreds or even thousands of people...

The more talented people there are, the greater the chance that the movie will make money. This is Qian Chen's first time as a producer, so he is taking a cautious attitude towards this new partner for the time being.

Fortunately, Yang Lu spoke with a mainland accent.

Qian Chen became much less wary.

He was afraid that Yuan Heping would cheat him.

Of course, it is not impossible to unite with a mainlander to trick him.

As a former eunuch.

It's hard for Qian Chen to trust someone 100%.

Yuan Heping became famous because he either really loved movies or he wanted to make money to support his Yuan family.

It's not impossible.

"This is our..." Qian Chen didn't know yet.

"I can direct and write, and I can also be an assistant director. I'm from Nortel's directing department and have worked on several movies." Yang Lu was quite easy to talk to.

"I'm here to supervise the production. I can let him be the director and also responsible for part of the script. I'm old and don't have enough energy." Yuan Heping said proactively.

He has participated in directing the TV series "Tai Chi Master" and "Little Li Flying Knife" starring Wu Feng, as well as the movie "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" starring Li Feihong, and he is not only a martial artist.

However, he was born in 1945 and is now 66 years old.

I really can’t take on the responsibility of a director anymore.

There is no problem with this consideration.

But who is Qian Chen? His ability to observe words and emotions, especially when he is studying a person.

No subtle expression could escape his eyes.

Yuan Heping's evasive words are a bit insincere.

Obviously age was not the main reason for him to give up directing.

So, why?

It's not hard to guess either.

Because he is not the producer, he does not have control over the show.

Once the movie is filmed, the profit gained is far less than the fame.

But fame is what he lacks most.

In the entire film industry, there are not many who are more famous than him, but when it comes to Shan Wu Zhi, he is the well-deserved number one.

So what should Qian Chen do?

Cold!

It is simply impossible to give up control of this drama in order to allow Yuan Heping to continue to be the director.

That's not the behavior of a great eunuch.

In this scene, he attended Jiang Dabin's celebration banquet, and relied on Jiang Dabin's face and his own eloquence to find money.

You have to take the big head.

He never thought about cheating investors' money.

The system does not allow him to break the law, report false accounts, black and white contracts, etc. It is completely illegal.

But as a leader, he would not give up even a cent of the money he should earn.

"What do you mean by Teacher Yang Lu?" Qian Chen asked.

Yang Lu smiled and nodded: "I don't have much directing experience, but I have always wanted to make a Ming Dynasty martial arts film. If you two trust me, I want to give it a try."

The situation in this drama is a little complicated.

The director is destined to not have much authority, as he is both a producer and a producer, and he is the kind of person who knows his stuff.

But Yang Lu didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Nowadays, not many film investment companies are willing to invest in martial arts films.

Last year's "Jian Yu Jiang Hu" was of excellent quality.

But he still lost money.

"Then let's get started. Master Ba will be the producer and martial arts director, I will be the martial arts director and actor, and Teacher Yang Lu will be in charge of directing." Qian Chen, as the producer, made the final decision.

As for Yang Lu’s directing ability.

If it doesn't work, you can change it. This kind of unknown director doesn't get much remuneration at all.

Even if he doesn't change, he can hire a more powerful director.

The director is really not as powerful as everyone thinks.

Except for the director.

Yuan Heping didn't have any objections either.

It is even less possible to walk away in a fit of anger.

If it were him, he wouldn't give up the control he has.

He and Qian Chen discussed this movie many times.

The conversation was very interesting.

It is also his hard work.

He can still make money as a producer and director, and Qian Chen won't treat him too badly.

Qian Chen was relieved.

He still had to rely on Yuan Heping's various connections.

Now that it's settled, if nothing unexpected happens...

The accident happened anyway.

"I actually have a martial arts movie script about the Ming Dynasty. The story comes from "The Love of Okita Souji" by neon writer Shiba Ryotaro. I named it "Xiuchundao"..."

"Wait a minute," Qian Chen quickly stopped him: "What we are going to shoot is "The Qi Family Knife"."

They were almost happy.

This guy is a liar, and he deceived him so thoroughly.

This reminded Qian Chen of a kind of bird.

The dove occupies the magpie's nest!

Yuan Heping was also a little dumbfounded.

We are veterans who have been involved in the world for decades.

You lied to an old man who is almost 70 years old. Doesn’t your conscience hurt?

"Two teachers, two teachers, don't get me wrong!" Yang Lu sweated profusely.

What does this mean?

"What does Teacher Yang Lu mean?" Qian Chen wanted to hear how he made it up.

"You two can take a look at my script. We can choose to film Qi Jia Dao, try to increase the box office and stabilize the investors, and then film "Xiu Chun Dao", or the three of us, what do you think?

":.

Yang Lu really had no intention of occupying the magpie's nest.

That's not a joke.

If you want to make a martial arts movie, you will offend Yuan Jiaban.

If you want to invest, you will have to sleep half the time.

You don’t have to go to such trouble to seek death. Do you still want to live in peace in the future?

Yuan Heping can take charge and help lead the team.
