Chapter 865: Appointment
A week ago, when the remote anti-corruption investigation department wanted to investigate the accounts of Jiaxing and Zhenledao, both Yang Mi and Xu Shanzheng were particularly opposed.
There almost even got into a physical fight.
Colleagues in the investigation department have become accustomed to this. What they do is inherently thankless work, and it is normal for them to be opposed by others.
The Investigation Department only said that they hoped they would think it over carefully and cooperate with the work, and that they would come back in a few days.
Yang Mi has been firmly on the front line for more than ten years. In addition to relying on the big tree in the distance to enjoy the shade, her ability to greet and greet people is also top-notch in the industry. She is very sensitive to the overall wind direction.
During this period of time, she had been paying attention to Xiao Cui's affairs. After combining the information obtained remotely from other external channels, she resisted a remote investigation and on the day the State Administration of Taxation issued the document, Yang Mi and the Zeng family began to organize the carnival.
Conduct internal self-examination.
Xu Shanzheng still didn't take it seriously. He was not too deeply bound to the remote area. Moreover, his base was not in the capital, but in the Magic City. He had enough reasons to refuse the remote investigation.
Today, Cheng Yuan made an appointment with several young directors to have tea.
Genuine tea.
The location is in the VIP box of the private restaurant owned by my mother-in-law.
In fact, Cheng Yu'an couldn't do anything good or bad with drinking. He just wanted to talk about something quietly, so he chose the teahouse.
Guo Fan and Han Yan came in one after another, both bringing their own assistants.
"Sit down." Cheng Yu'an greeted them, "It's a newly imported good tea. I can't tell if it's good or bad, so I'll give it to you to try."
Cheng Yuan started making tea.
Everyone sat in a circle, and Han Yan spoke first: "Teacher Cheng, did you call us here today?"
"Isn't this the filming of "My Motherland and Me"? It has seven units. I would like to ask about your schedule."
Both Han Yan and Guo Fan knew that this drama had been approved by the media, and the cast of Zhang Yimou and Cheng Yu'an attracted the attention of countless people.
Of course the two wanted to participate, but they were worried about conflicting with their drama appointments.
Cheng Yu'an knew their worries, so he said: "Don't worry, the drama will not start filming until the end of this year or the beginning of next year at the earliest. It won't delay your work this year."
"That's not to say, I will definitely take a photo." Han Yan said first.
He guides Cheng Yu'an hand in hand and is Cheng Yu'an's staunchest supporter.
"The project I'm working on is not very urgent, and I'll be free next year." Guo Fan also expressed his stance, not forgetting to bring along his good gay friend, "Does Xiao Wen also want to shoot one?"
"He is currently busy with the pre-publicity of "I'm Not the God of Medicine". I called him yesterday and he agreed."
Then Cheng Yu'an told them about the current progress of the film: "Next year's National Day release will definitely be a fool's errand. You guys need to have a movie in your hands. Don't release it next year."
Cheng Yu'an's judgment on the market is obvious to all, and the two of them believe it very much.
Guo Fan said: "I learned the news yesterday that Bernard is going to make an air crash movie based on the emergency landing of Sichuan Airlines that happened last month, and it will be released on National Day next year."
Cheng Yu'an knew that this was "Captain of China" and laughed: "I asked why there has been no news about Bernard. It turns out that they have been calling for so long because there is no script."
Bernard announced that he was going to give a gift in March and April this year. At that time, he said that he was preparing for it. The outside world couldn't find out the information even if they wanted to inquire about it. They thought that he was doing a good job of keeping it secret, but this is what happened.
"Who directed it?" Cheng Yu'an asked.
"It said that the project was handed over to Liu Weiqiang's team."
Cheng Yu'an pouted: "I still can't do without the Hong Kong team."
Although "Captain of China" ended up taking in 2.8 billion at the box office, Cheng Yu'an didn't like the story.
The biggest problem lies in the script. The script of the movie is extremely rough to the naked eye.
There were only 42 minutes before and after the original air crash (from the crack in the windshield to the plane's alternate landing), and the cause of the crash was only a crack in the windshield in front of the right seat of the cockpit, but the writing and directing team wanted to expand the story to at least 100 minutes.
Liu Weiqiang's team adopted an extremely crude method - desperately adding events that had nothing to do with the plane crash itself into the story.
For example, lame emotional scenes and stories about passengers on the plane.
This makes the whole movie too confusing.
Moreover, the portrayal of Captain Liu Changjian was too thin - the screenwriter directly made Liu Changjian a god, and the audience could not see the reality of Liu Changjian as a human being.
This is what Cheng Yu'an doesn't like.
"We are writing and preparing the script now, so we won't be able to start filming until next year," Han Yan said.
"That is to say, he has to catch up with the National Day holiday again, and his time is very tight." Guo Fan said, "Bernard started looking for me."
Guo Fan has proven his ability to direct blockbuster movies through "Painted Skin 3", so it's not surprising that Bernard wanted him.
"I'm quite interested in this subject, air crash. It should be fun to show the fear and struggle of the characters. At first they didn't say it was an adaptation of a real event. I asked them if they had a script, and they said no, so I said I would like one.
Years of research and scripts were spent on research and scripts. They said they had to rush for next year’s National Day release and didn’t have much time for me. Later they mentioned that they wanted to adapt the real events of last month. It would be easier to do if they had a prototype. I said if I did it, it would be the earliest possible
It won't be started until March or April next year, otherwise I won't have time to guarantee the special effects level. They still don't agree, so I have no choice but to push it forward."
"Hong Kong directors are a little better at this kind of customized work and making quick films than we are." Cheng Yu'an said.
The few of them chatted until the afternoon, and Cheng Yu'an left everyone in the store to eat before sending them out.
By the time Cheng Yu'an got home, it was already dark.
"Dad." The daughter ran over and diligently brought him slippers.
"You were so good today, did you get into trouble again?" This little guy was not so kind as to bring him slippers.
Not far away, the mother-in-law stood up from the sofa and said, "You are finally back. I leave it to you. I'm going back."
Cheng Yu'an felt something was wrong and asked her mother-in-law: "Did Qiqi make you angry again?"
"No." Before grandma could speak, the little guy defended himself first.
Liu Xiaoli tapped Cheng Muchan's forehead: "Actually, it's not that big of a deal. I was just dishonest when eating and hit the bowl. I said a few words to her. She seemed aggrieved."
Cheng Yu'an smiled at her daughter and said, "Is what grandma said true?"
"I hit him accidentally." She still felt a little uncomfortable talking about this.
"Then did you apologize to grandma?"
"Yes, I said I'm sorry." Cheng Mufan nodded.
"That's good," Cheng Yu'an touched her daughter's head, "Grandma won't be happy if you say a few words?"
Cheng Mufan pursed his lips, still not happy that his grandma said to him: "Grandma doesn't love Qiqi."
Liu Xiaoli smiled and said: "You are a little kid but a big kid." Then she opened the door and went back.
Cheng Yu'an took her daughter and sat back in front of the TV: "I don't love you even if I say a few words about you. Really, doesn't my mother often talk about you, so doesn't she love you too?"
"Mom loves Qiqi."
"Yes, mom loves Qiqi, and grandma loves Qiqi."
However, during the phone call between mother and daughter before going to bed, Cheng Mufan still complained to Liu Yifei, saying that her grandma had said harsh words to her today.
