Chapter 488 Returning to China

The reporter was stuck at the airport for several days and did not see Cheng and Liu returning home.

After asking around, I found out that the young couple was living a sweet world together in Venice and would not be coming back for the time being.

But when the reporters got word that Cheng and Liu had landed, they tried to go back to the airport to block people, but they had already left.

Liu Yifei started calling people as soon as she got in the car.

"what are you busy with?"

"The Harper's Bazaar Charity Night opens in two days. I have to go there. Will you go?"

"I don't want to join in the fun. I have to keep an eye on "Thieves". You can go ahead."

Of course, the starting point of Harper's Bazaar Charity Night was good, using the influence of entertainment stars to raise donations, but later on it became a place for stars from all walks of life to compete for beauty, especially female stars.

This year's charity night has invited many people. In addition to remote artists, Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, Fan Xiaopang, Lin Zhiling, Jackie Chan, Huang Xiaoming, etc. will all participate.

The entertainment industry is naturally accompanied by the spotlight, especially when a group of handsome guys and beautiful girls gather together, it is easier to attract other people's attention.

There were not only celebrities at the charity night, but also various bosses.

As for why we are here, there is no need to say more.

Cheng and Liu's assistants took their luggage home to pack, Cheng Yu'an returned to the company, and Liu Yifei went to try on clothes for the charity night.

"Congratulations." I don't know why, but when Zhong Lifang and Chen Zhixi came out of the mouths of Zhong Lifang and Chen Zhixi, Cheng Yu'an felt particularly awkward.

"What's your expression?" Chen Zhixi joked.

"I always feel that you are uneasy and well-intentioned." Cheng Yu'an said.

"How is it possible? We are serious about congratulating Director Cheng." The three of them entered the reception room and Zhong Lifeng made tea. "The first Chinese director to win Best Director and Best Picture. Do you know how big this name is?"

"How big?"

"Except for Zhang Yimou, who won two Golden Lions, you have the highest international honors in the Mainland. People outside say you are a film master."

"Who said that?" Cheng Yu'an never dared to accept the name of master.

"Anyway, it is an indisputable fact that remote film and television is valued at 30 billion. For this, we can drink tea instead of wine."

Cheng Yu'an drank it and tasted it: "This tea is good, where can I buy it?"

"What did you buy? The company hired a tea mountain. It belongs to our family."

"You guys really know how to play."

"I heard that "Pacific Rim" has been postponed? What's going on?"

"It's not a big deal. It's Warner's own fault and internal factional fighting. The president who originally supported "Pacific Rim" left, and the new guy who came in didn't like the film. It's impossible to cut it off. Let's see what happens next.

"

"They are not trying to increase their share through this trick, are they?"

"No, doing this breaks the rules of the entire Hollywood. If Warner succeeds and uses this method in all future collaborations, how can they make movies? I guess they have internal disputes about "Pacific Rim", and it doesn't matter whether they do it or not.

Don't worry, Lingfeng will go and negotiate. This is the first blockbuster she has handled. Let's see the lobbying and negotiations later." Cheng Yu'an is also worried about this matter.

"How are the new films going?" Cheng Yu'an asked about the upcoming films.

"No problem. Huang Bo joined the cast of "Lucky Key" after completing "Military Ge Erdan". The same cast includes Yang Yang, Tangtang and Tong Liya. Tangtang is currently training in the United States and will start filming "Resident Evil" next month.

5", I will join the set after filming in December."

""Rich Second Generation"... Liu Tao was introduced by you, right?" Qin Hailu came to intercede with her before, but Cheng Yu'an didn't take it to heart. She brought Liu Tao to see Chen Zhixi and won the "Rich Second Generation"

"The second female lead in "The Heroine" plays the role of the male protagonist's father's lover.

"Yes." Cheng Yu'an did not deny it.

"I said you are not that stingy. Liu Tao is fine. "Rich Second Generation" is also in December. If Yang Mi wants to play the role, I will give it to her."

"What about "Manslaughter"?" Among the movies to be released in the second half of the year, Cheng Yu'an attaches great importance to "Manslaughter". This is a script he wrote himself and asked teacher Cao Baoping to supervise the production.

The cost of 30 million yuan was spent on Xin Yukun as a newcomer, which shows that Cheng Yuan attaches great importance to him.

"The production will start in Thailand next month."

"Oh, by the way, there is a movie I want to tell you about. Zhixi and I can't make up our minds." Zhong Lifang stopped Cheng Yu'an who was about to leave.

"Are there any movies that you are unsure about?" Chung Lifeng and Chen Zhixi are both smart people, and they are willing to spend as much money as they can.

Zhong Lifang handed over a folder, and Cheng Yu'an took it and read it.

Hey, no, is there really such a thing as a son of a plane?

I didn't go to him, but he came to me instead?

Wu Jing, "Wolf Warrior".

Without even thinking about it, Cheng Yuan knew why Zhong Lifeng and Chen Zhixi were not sure about this movie.

First, there are too few military war films in the Chinese-language market, so few that it is difficult to find a few films for reference. Anti-Japanese War films are not included. What we are talking about here are modern military war films.

Secondly, Wu Jing is a new director. The last time he directed "Spike" he failed completely, so he went back to play supporting roles in Hong Kong action films.

If a film like Wu Jing's was submitted to a remote location, it would definitely be shot. Zhong Lifang didn't want to do it because she felt the risk was too high.

However, from a producer's point of view, Chen Zhixi believed that it was necessary to try, but that was limited to just trying.

The two of them just saw that Cheng Yu'an was too idle and deliberately found work for him, so they said they were not sure about "Wolf Warrior".

"Why would he hand us a notebook?"

"We invested in "I Am a Special Forces Soldier 2" and he is the starring role. He also said that he met you in Wenchuan and worked on earthquake relief together." Zhong Lifeng said.

Cheng Yu'an nodded: "We did work together in Wenchuan before." I thought it was the halo coronation of the protagonist of Son of the Plane, but it turns out there is something in it.

"I think he's just trying to make ends meet. This book was submitted to more than a dozen companies, but I heard they were all rejected. No one wanted to apply, not even China Film Group."

"Wait a minute, I'll give him a call." Of course Cheng Yu'an has Wu Jing's phone number.

"Hey, Brother Jing," Cheng Yu'an called him during the earthquake, "What are you doing? On the set of "Special Forces"."

"I watched your "Wolf Warrior", is there anything missing?"

"How much is missing?"

"Okay, okay, let's wait until you come back." Cheng Yu'an hung up the phone.

"You're going to vote now?" Zhong Lifang said.

"Why not invest? It won't cost much." The cost of "Wolf Warrior" is really not high. According to an interview with the original producer of Time and Space, the production cost should be less than 30 million, and Xuanfa will cost 60 million.

Why not invest this money?

"This kind of drama is really cheap. The actors are not very well paid, and the weapons and equipment can be borrowed from the army."

"You just asked someone to borrow it?" Chen Zhixi said.

"Why not borrow it? We have made so many Anti-Japanese War films and our relationship with the military region is okay. Can't we just borrow some equipment? I also promoted the troops." Wu Jing of the original time and space received support from the Jinling Military Region and was specially approved to enter.

He experienced life at the grassroots level of the special forces and gained a lot of goodwill among the troops.

This is how we have the weapons and equipment in "Wolf Warrior".

Seeing that Zhong Lifang was still hesitant, Cheng Yu'an said: "If the company doesn't want to lose this money, I will personally pay him 20 million."

"What are you talking about? What's the difference between your investment and the company's investment?" Cheng Yu'an was still willful sometimes, "Isn't it just 20 million? If you invest, it will be regarded as supporting a new director."
