Chapter 181 Six Years Passed in a Flash
Zeng Li, the employee who was slacking off at her boss's house, was kicked out of the house.

Even though the other party pulled again and again, he was still driven out.

He spent the whole day hunting geese, but this time he got his eye pecked by a goose.

Without the other party's interruption, Chen An drew the drawings much faster.

Designed graphics like the Batmobile and the Batdang.

In addition, some invitational interview summits also require Chen An to attend in person.

After all, some of them are official or CCTV-invited, so you still need to go.

On the way, we also stopped by the ancient town of Qingyan in the southwest, where Jiang Wen’s movie was filmed, and which was also an important military location in ancient times.

Jiang Wen likes shooting in places like this.

Originally, Chen An just came to take a look, but unexpectedly he met Han Sanping who came to make a guest appearance.

Han Sanping, dressed in police uniform and a hat, appeared on the set and sat in the director's seat watching the performance.

Diao Yinan sat in his seat and watched silently without saying a word. Instead, Jiang Wen kept giving orders on the scene.

"Director Han, if you had told me earlier that you wanted to come and make a cameo appearance, I would have come with you." Chen An walked into the set and said with a smile while looking at Han Sanping, who was dressed in police uniform.

"If Jiang Wen hadn't kept calling me, I wouldn't have come. Besides, how did you know that I was playing the role of the director?"

"Nonsense, would he dare to ask you to play other roles?"

There is no need to guess, Jiang Wen would definitely not ask Han Sanping to play the role of a patrolman.

"That's right. If I ask him to play a patrolman, I'm afraid he won't be able to get through again after the first call." Jiang Wen said while putting his arm around Chen An's shoulder after returning behind the monitor.

"This time it's your full investment, so you have to serve as the producer. Besides, you love to make cameo appearances in your own movies so much. It would be a bit unreasonable if you don't make a cameo appearance now that you're here, right?" He also wanted Chen An to make a cameo appearance as well.

Chen An is well-known for his love of making cameo appearances in his own movies, and he has had this habit since the beginning of "Run Lola Run".

Some are noticeable, some are not, but neither will affect the viewing experience of the movie.

This was also done intentionally by Chen An. As a director, he is not like the actors who are recorded by the film at all times, so Chen An also wants to leave his own image in the film.

It is also a time to leave your own time in it.

I can take it out and read it when I’m old, it can be considered a kind of Easter egg.

Chen An looked at the clothes of Jiang Wen and Han Sanping, thought for a moment and said, "How about I be the director?"

"What are you thinking? You're acting as a director, just like a college student who just graduated from school."

"You can't say that. I'm still studying, but I'm not there yet."

"Stop talking to me, just play the policeman standing next to him."

Okay, Chen An doesn’t mind, just a guest appearance.

Then he changed into the crew's clothes and came out. Han Sanping took a look at him with a water cup and said, "It's a pity that you are not a policeman now, but you are a director now."

"It's better to be a director. My work style is more serious when I'm a police officer. My first day at work is my last day. I go in in the morning and get fired in the afternoon."

Chen An looked respectable in police uniform, with sharp facial features and a clean and neat look.

"Hahaha, that's right. With regard to the situation you've committed, if I were really the director, I would be the first one to kick you out." Han Sanping said with a laugh.

Although I have become the vice president of China Film Corporation and have more things to do than before, I still read the news.

Especially regarding Chen An, he was still restrained in China, but he was quite relaxed abroad. He found two of them at once and they all got together.

Chen An patted his clothes to make them neater, feeling a little helpless. This matter had become a big deal. Since Chen An and Han Sanping were already there, Jiang Wen and Diao Yinan changed their shooting plans temporarily and shot this segment first.

Chen An just stood in front of the camera without moving, and the main conversation was between Han Sanping and Jiang Wen.

As expected of a mountain eagle, he acts with great momentum and it is obvious at first glance that this is not a simple role.

"In 20 hours, you can reach the provincial capital by bus, the capital by train, or the United States by plane. I don't care about what happens in the United States. If the guns are sent to the capital, you will cause great harm to the Party and the country!"

"I was wrong, Chief."

"Wrong? You committed a crime!"

He pointed at Jiang Wen's nose with a fierce look on his face, which looked very oppressive!

Han Sanping, who is a director, has pretty good acting skills and he nailed it in just one take.

Afterwards, Chen An, who was standing at attention beside him, felt very comfortable listening to Jiang Wen's words while he was sitting behind his desk and scolding her.

It feels so good to scold him that Chen An even wants to play this role.

The time for both of them to play their guest roles was the same, Han Sanping finished filming, and Chen An also finished filming.

There is no need for any preparation, Jiang Wen just needs to pay for the meal out of his own pocket.

After the meal, the two of them took a plane back to Beijing together. Before leaving, Chen An found Diao Yinan and gave him some advice.

You can learn how to make movies from Jiang Wenduo, but don't follow his example and overspend. As directors, we have to finish the movie within the budget.

This is an excellent director. Jiang Wen is a hopeless case. You should never learn from him, or it will harm you.

After speaking earnestly to Diao Yinan, and only after the other party nodded in agreement did Chen An leave with peace of mind.

On the plane, Han Sanping took a sip of water and said, "The Fanglong movie will be released next month. Are you sure about it?"

"?" Chen An was a little confused. It's not his movie, and you asked me if I was sure?
"It's not me who filmed it, so how can I be sure? The first part was so popular, the second part won't be bad either. Even if the reputation declines, it will only be the third part that will be affected." Chen An replied, roughly knowing what the other party meant.

For a Hollywood blockbuster with this kind of production cost, promotion and marketing will be done at least two months in advance.

To ensure that the audience who should know are aware of the news about this film.

Han Sanping nodded. "The more successful the better. If we can recover the production costs in advance, even if it's more than half, it can increase the publicity and promotion funds."

Several investors have already discussed it, and the final unanimous decision is to sell the film copyright first. If there is no distribution channel, selling the copyright after the release may be better, but it also has risks.

At that time, we will first sell the overseas distribution rights except for East Asia. As for East Asia, if the price is right, we will sell them all together, except for the Hong Kong distribution rights that Van Loong wants.

"Just wait patiently. Even if his movie fails, I'm here. There shouldn't be any problem in the end." Although Van Long is an international action star, he is also an international director.

Especially for people like Chen An who first emerged in Europe and then went to Hollywood, his box office performance in Europe has always been good and he is also quite popular.

Besides, Chen An already knew that the other party’s achievement would be the highest record for a Chinese actor, and it would also be the film that would allow the other party to enter the 20 million box office club and become a top-tier superstar!

Han Sanping was stunned when he heard him say that, then suddenly smiled and said: "Yeah, I forgot, now you are also an internationally famous director, not the young boy before, hahahaha"

"Brother Han has moved from being the director of Beijing Film Studio to the vice president of China Film Group Corporation. The young boy back then is now 25 years old. We have known each other for six years," Chen An said with a smile, also lying on the chair.

It has been six years since the short film in 1995, and at that time Han Sanping had just taken a position at the Beijing Film Studio.

The two have been working together until now, and he has become the vice chairman of the mainland giant China Film Group, holding most of the power of the group.

And he finally transformed himself from a peasant with a buzz cut into an international director.
