China Film Group regrets it now, really.

Han Sanping regrets it most now.

Why didn't you receive Hou Kenming, Cheng Yu'an and his students at the beginning?

Why not invest two million in "Sniper Phone Booth"!

48 million in overseas copyright income!

If you invest, you can make money by saying less...

Why!

Han Sanping sat in the office and sighed.

I heard that "The Notebook" also approached China Film Group Corporation, but the production department rejected it and introduced it to the distributor.

Why!

"Sniper Phone Booth" has been confirmed to be released during the summer vacation. Cheng Yu'an came to China Film to confirm the final release time.

For the first time, Han Sanping, then deputy director of China Film Group Corporation, personally received Cheng Yuan.

"Hello, Director Han." Cheng Yu'an also didn't expect that Director Han would receive him personally.

"What a talented person." The first thing Director Han said when he saw Cheng Yu'an was to praise him for his handsome appearance.

"Director Han deserves the award."

The two sat down, and Director Han asked: "Yuan An, how is "The Notebook" going?"

"The fine cutting has already begun, and the post-production process will be completed in the next month."

"It's a terrible life. This is your second movie this year."

"Yes, because of the epidemic, it has been delayed until now."

"You can't say that. "Phone Booth" only took 20 days to shoot, and "The Notebook" took two months, which is already very fast. Do you have any plans for the second half of the year?"

Cheng Yuan's eyelids twitched, and now he started to inquire about my plans for the second half of the year?

Cheng Yuan smiled: "I plan to take a break first. The work has been too tight in the first half of the year, and the epidemic has made people in a bad mood. I will go on a trip when "The Notebook" is finished."

"Travel is great, young people should go out more and gain experience."

The two of them chatted for a long time, and no one said anything about the release schedule. In the end, Cheng Yu'an couldn't help it anymore:

"Director Han, look at the release of my "Sniper Phone Booth"..."

"Ouch, look at my memory, I'm talking about arranging films." After that, Director Han pulled out a piece of paper from the drawer, "I'm only going to show it to you, don't spread it to anyone else."

"I know."

7.8 "Crisis Intelligence"

7.18 "The Matrix 2: Reloaded"

8.5 "The Second Face"

8.9 "Double Scene"

8.18 "Green Tea"

8.29 "Terminator 3"

8.31 "Norma's Seventeen"

You read that right, there are only 7 movies in the entire summer season in two months.

Cheng Yuan clearly remembers that the domestic box office of "The Matrix 2" was 43 million and "Terminator 3" was 28 million.

Cheng Yu'an looked at it for a long time, what is there to choose from, what is there to choose from!

He didn't know if "Sniper Phone Booth" could beat "The Matrix 2", so he simply chose August:

"Director Han, how about I come on August 2nd?"

Firstly, "The Matrix 2" has been on the market for half a month and its popularity has gone down; secondly, "Terminator 3", the only threatening film in August, is at the end of the month, and "Sniper Phone Booth" may be released throughout August.

Eat.

Han Sanping didn't know Cheng Yu'an's plan, and smiled slightly: "You know how to choose, let's take No. 2."

The release date was agreed upon, and Cheng Yu'an soon arrived.

"Yu'an." Han Sanping stopped him.

"ah?"

"If you have any new projects, bring them directly to my office. Don't leave from below." Han Sanping said.

"Okay." Cheng Yuan happily agreed. It would be really difficult to make a movie at this time without involving China Film.

After leaving China Film, Cheng Yu'an continued to focus on the post-production work of "Sniper Phone Booth", but he still spent more time on the work of "The Young Emperor" and "The Sky of Eighteen".

The filming of "The Young Emperor" was very slow before because of the epidemic. Now that the epidemic is over, the crew is working hard to catch up.

Cheng Lingfeng, on the other hand, had to watch "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" and was unable to do anything else, so she simply handed over the crew of "Young Emperor" to Cheng Yu'an and concentrated on making school idol dramas.

The news that "Sniper Phone Booth" is scheduled to be released on August 2 has spread like wildfire, but because the news of winning an award in Belgium and being a hit in Hong Kong (Southeast Asia) have been widely publicized before, the release date did not cause much attention.

Waves.

But it is enough to arouse the curiosity of the audience. After all, "Sniper Phone Booth" has been in the audience's sight since it won the Belgian award in April. After two months of fermentation, mainland audiences, especially young audiences, have long wanted to see its true face.

.

In Shunyi, Cheng Yuan is discussing the follow-up shooting with Liu Heng. After more than four months of filming, "The Young Emperor" will be finished in ten or twenty days.

Huang Kelai told Cheng Yuan: "President Ren from Shanghai Film Studio is here."

Cheng Yu'an didn't react for a moment: "Mr. Ren? Which Mr. Ren?"

Huang Ke rolled his eyes at him, and Cheng Yu'an realized that Ren Zhonglun, the CEO of Shanghai Film Group.

"Why does he, a film company executive, come to our TV series set?"

"I didn't know, it's already on the way. I'll arrive in half an hour." Huang Ke said.

"Okay, Director Liu, let's receive him together."

Shanghai Film Academy is very powerful. It is located in the Magic City and radiates across the country.

But he didn't want to be the second best actor in the millennium. Shanghai Film Academy always wanted to take a bite of the cake of imported films, but the share of imported films was tightly controlled by China Film.

Ren Zhonglun has always been dissatisfied with this. He went to the General Administration several times to complain, saying that they were all serving the people and were comrades on the literary and art front. Shanghai Film Academy was like a stepmother.

Since this year, Ren Zhonglun has heard the news that the country wants to break China Film’s monopoly on imported films.

So he started to get active. This time he came here because he wanted to make friends with Cheng Yu'an, the most popular young director nowadays.

It would be best if he could be roped in to join Shanghai Film Academy. Ren Zhonglun had already thought about it. As long as Cheng Yuan nodded, the position of deputy director of production at Shanghai Film Academy would be his.

If they can't be brought in, it would be nice if they could negotiate cooperation on one or two movies. This would also show the strength of SIPG to the higher-ups.

When everyone met in the hotel conference room, Ren Zhonglun came up and confessed: "I heard about Lao Li from the film purchasing department of Dragon TV. Although Satellite TV is not owned by the film management company, it is still owned by China Media and Broadcasting Media. This kind of thing will not spread.

It sounds great. No, our director of film purchasing from Dragon TV is also here today, specially coming to discuss purchasing films for "The Young Emperor"."

Cheng Yu'an didn't dwell too much on this matter. As long as everyone knew about this unspoken rule, it would be over with a few superficial remarks.

Ren Zhonglun flattered Cheng Yu'an again, saying he was nothing but a young talent, and there was a reason for being young.

Then we got down to business: "What are Director Cheng's plans for the second half of the year? I won't say anything about Shanghai Film's strength, but Director Cheng should also know that if we work together, we will definitely be a perfect match!"

The cake for "The Notebook" has already been distributed, and Shanghai Film Studio has no way to get involved, so it can only inquire about the follow-up plans of Remote Media.

Cheng Yu'an told the truth, saying that he planned to take a break and was not sure whether he would film new movies in the second half of the year.

Ren Zhonglun expressed his understanding and didn't ask any questions. In the end, the two parties made a verbal agreement that Cheng Yu'an would give priority to cooperating with Shanghai Film Studio for his next film.

At the evening banquet, Cheng Lingfeng, as the chairman of Remote Media, of course had to attend.

During the day, Cheng Yu'an did not participate in the film purchase negotiation between Dragon TV and Cheng Lingfeng, but judging from Cheng Lingfeng's expression at this time, the two parties must have had a pleasant conversation.

Ren Zhonglun said to Cheng Lingfeng: "I heard that Mr. Cheng is working on a campus idol drama. The subject matter is good and it fills a gap in the mainland. How is the drama now?"

Cheng Lingfeng said: "Considering that there is no mature idol drama team in the mainland, we specially recruited an experienced team from Bay Island. Now the script has been perfected, and casting and scenery are being selected simultaneously."

"I wonder if Mr. Cheng can consider our Magic City? Although I don't watch many idol dramas, I also know that this type of genre should highlight handsome guys and beauties, be modern, and be subtle. Our Magic City is very suitable for filming.

This kind of play."
