Chapter 175 Film Distribution
"Director Chen means that the title of director is mine, but I am not the director?" Diao Yinan said after thinking for a while.

Chen An smiled and shook his head. "Not necessarily. Anyway, you have all the power of the director, but whether you have the final say in the crew depends on your own ability. I am not going to arrange any assistant director or producer."

"Then Director Chen said he wanted to find someone to teach me how to direct?"

"That's the person who will be here soon. He was a director before, but now he can only be an actor. You can learn something from him and become a master. Then you can direct independently. The company will also help you find new roles or directly invest in you."

Hearing what Chen An said, Diao Yinan couldn't help but think in his heart. The conditions must be good for him, but who could that person be?
Just as I was about to ask, the door at the back was pushed open.

Diao Yinan understood everything when he looked back.

Jiang Wen pushed the door open directly, and with sunglasses on his face, he looked like a bandit, held his head high and chest puffed out, and walked towards Chen An at great speed.

He walked with the wind and in the blink of an eye he was in front of the two people.

He took off his sunglasses and looked at the two people in front of him. Curiously, Chen An asked, "Who is this brother?"

"The director I found for you is Diao Yinan, your junior in the Literature Department of the Central Academy of Drama. He is very talented." Chen An, who was sitting on a chair, began to introduce him.

Then he said to Diao Yinan: "Now you understand, are you willing?"

Seeing that Jiang Wen understood everything, Diao Yinan nodded. He understood what Chen An meant. Jiang Wen would star in the movie and he would be the director.

The person who taught him how to direct was Jiang Wen, and he also knew something about this great man who could make Zhang Yimou so angry.

After thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said, "No problem, Director Chen, I'm willing."

"Okay then, I'll ask someone to draft a contract. You can find someone to take a look at it in advance before signing the contract." Seeing that the other party agreed, Chen An said with a smile.

While the two were chatting, Jiang Wen picked up the Oscar statuette on the table, looked at it, clicked his tongue, and found a chair to sit down.

"Tsk tsk, it's even on the table, specially for me to see?"

It is simply Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone on the road knows it.

Instead of putting it in the glass cabinet behind you, you put it on the table specifically for me to see, right?

Of course Chen An would not admit it. He picked up several scripts on the table and gave one to each person. "I am that kind of person. Director Diao just happened to come over and hasn't put it in yet."

Since Diao Yinan has agreed, Chen An simply calls him Director Diao.

Jiang Wen put down the trophy in his hand only after he got the script. "I have been waiting for you for several months and finally got the script. It was not easy."

"I have already written it, but I haven't found a director yet. If you change it beyond recognition in advance, the director will be confused." The script is a simplified version, so let the other party make changes.

Jiang Wen couldn't help but start reading the script. Chen An interrupted him and said:

"First of all, we need to go back and watch it. Director Diao is a screenwriter by profession, so you two can discuss how to change the script when the time comes. You don't need to come to me to discuss it."

"no problem."

Jiang Wen hoped that Chen An would not care, and besides, the other party was a screenwriter, so maybe they could talk about some things.

Diao Yinan didn't say anything, but just nodded to show that he understood.

This is also the reason why Chen An made it clear to him in advance. If you have the ability to make Jiang Wen listen to you, then you can shoot it however you want.

But if you don't have the ability, just be a tool.

Instead of calling me crying like Rikutaro, it would be better to just learn from the other person honestly, as his abilities are well-known.

For a newcomer like you who has no works and has never participated in directing, it will be of great benefit.

You won’t have the chance to be a director like Jiang Wenxue, no matter how much you want.

It was a win-win situation for all three parties. Chen An won money, Diao Yinan won an opportunity, and Jiang Wen also felt that he had won.

Since there were no problems, Chen An had only one thing to say in the end, "If there are no problems, then it's easy to talk about. I will provide the investment, which is only two million. You can decide on the casting of the actors yourselves. The three actors from my company will be given priority."

"You can decide the rest by yourselves." "Okay, leave it to me, I will definitely help you." These words were not said by Diao Yinan but by the actor Jiang Wen.

After talking to Chen An, he patted Diao Yinan on the shoulder and said, "Brother Diao, I wish us a happy cooperation this time. Let's go and have a chat first."

He put on the sunglasses hanging on his collar again, pulled Diao Yinan, who was sitting on the chair, and walked out.

Chen An didn't say anything but just reminded: "Remember to close the door. I'll notify you to sign the contract when the time comes."

"Ok!"

Jiang Wen, holding Diao Yinan's hand, waved his hand without looking back, walked out and closed the door.

Chen An looked at the closed door. The matter was basically resolved. Jiang Wen didn't need to worry about organizing the crew, and the company also had a production team.

He also had the rare opportunity to deal with some documents, and Chen An carefully looked at the issuance contracts.

As expected of the talent he had chosen, distribution channels had already been opened up for her, including not only cinemas, but also many programs and some state-owned enterprise groups.

All kinds of advertising companies are included.

Those who come from CCTV are all well-informed.

Although "Clue" is still a long way from being released, the promotion and marketing has already begun.

First, there was a little promotion through some media and television commercials.

Regarding the various posters, large-scale publicity and signings for the upcoming release.

Not only various media and television websites, but also various public facilities have signed contracts.

By then, you will probably be able to see the movie "Clue" on various public facilities such as buses, subways, etc.!

I only knew that she was busy before, but I didn’t expect she was so busy. Damn it, Chen An thought silently.

Of course, Lightyear Media’s distribution does not reach the entire country yet, and is currently mainly in the north. As for other places, they are naturally handed over to major film studios.

All parties are gearing up for this release, with the minimum requirement being to break the box office record of "My Sassy Girl".

Half past five.

Chen An looked at the watch on his hand. He had already been working overtime for half an hour. I am really a diligent boss.

I put the trophies on the table into the glass cabinet at the back. Now there are seven trophies, including those for directors, films, and scripts.

He put on the coat hanging on the chair and walked out of the office.

Although it was time to get off work, many employees still stayed in the company to chat.

Chen An didn't say anything. The company's decoration and facilities were all good. Food and drinks were arranged every day and were free. Moreover, after get off work, the other party could chat if they wanted.

After responding to the employee who greeted him, Zhao Xiong was already waiting by the car when he walked down to the parking lot.

When the receptionist saw Chen An coming downstairs, she picked up her phone and secretly sent a message: "Sister Zeng Li, Mr. Chen has been in the company for a day and is just leaving now. Sister Jinghong did not come to the company today."

After sending it, I looked left and right to make sure no one was around before I felt relieved and packed up to leave work.

Normally she would have left early, and she would not have stayed if Sister Zeng Li hadn't sent her a message today.

"Drip!"

Hearing her cell phone ringing, Zeng Li wiped her hands on the apron in front of her, took out her cell phone and checked the message. When she got the message, the corners of her mouth raised, and she looked beautiful.

The table in front of me was already filled with dishes, which looked steaming hot and had just been cooked.
