Chapter 276 Hong Kong Island Events! [Happy holidays, brothers! ]
end of the month.
The once hot Golden Horse event suddenly died down.
It was not that the two sides had ceased fighting and made peace, but that the daughter of the Hong Kong man died on December 30th.
Only forty years old.
She suffered from cervical cancer and died in the hospital, surrounded by her friends.
The Hong Kong media, which had previously been outspoken, closed their mouths today and expressed their condolences.
All news about the Golden Horse Awards incident was suppressed.
Originally this had nothing to do with Chen An, but Zhang Guorong suddenly called.
"What's wrong, Zhang Sheng?"
Chen An, who was designing movie props and storyboards in the study, was a little curious about why Zhang Guorong suddenly called him.
"I'm sorry, Director Chen, for calling you suddenly. I think I will be back late. Ah Mei has left and I have to stay with her for a while." Zhang Guorong's voice on the other side was a little low and hoarse.
Chen An thought about yesterday's news and didn't care. "No problem, Mr. Zhang, take care of yourself. You sound a little tired. Take a proper rest. You are not in good health to begin with."
Remind the other person not to follow the old path and take care of their health.
"It's okay, I'm fine. Ah Mei said something to me before she left. Please ask me to invite you to attend her funeral. You are his favorite director."
"what?"
Chen An was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that there was still something for him to do.
When I first met him and he said he was my fan, I thought he was joking.
"Do you have time?" Zhang Guorong asked again on the other end of the phone, but there was a hint of request in his tone.
Chen An held the phone and said, "Okay, just let me know when the time comes, and I'll go."
After thinking about it, I finally agreed.
"thank you"
After Chen An agreed, he heard words of thanks over the phone.
After smiling and indicating that it was unnecessary, Zhang Guorong hung up the phone.
Throwing the phone on the table, Chen An thought about the other party's invitation. He really didn't expect that the other party would want to invite him over.
Especially after the Golden Horse Awards incident, Chen An was almost furious and didn't give any face at all.
Although it is aimed at another group, the Hong Kong circle was once very close to them.
After thinking for a while, Chen An shook his head and decided not to think about it anymore. It's just a matter of participating, so just go.
The most important thing now is the design drawing in front of you.
Looking at the drawings in front of me, this is the result of my own hard work.
"I don't know what the result will be?" Chen An muttered to himself as he looked at the drawing in front of him.
It's been a few days since I gave the item to the other party, but there's still no response. I called to ask but was told to keep waiting.
I don’t know what’s going on.
China Space Administration.
"Dong~dong~"
There was a knock on the door.
Director Sun heard the knock on the door and asked.
The office door was opened, and a middle-aged man wearing thick glasses and looking like a researcher opened the door with a bag in his hand.
"Old Liu?" Director Sun frowned and said, "What's the matter? Is the research and development blocked?"
When the other party came to him, his first reaction was that the research and development progress was hindered. According to the other party's personality, he would not come to him for other matters.
Old Liu picked up the file bag in his hand, shook it, and said with a smile: "The research and development progress has been very good, don't worry, I came to you just for this thing."
Director Sun was relieved to hear the other party say this. The bureau's R&D funds were stretched thin, so it was good that this was not the problem.
"What is it that can still interest you? You specially came here to have some tea and take a rest. Let's talk while we drink."
It's not a research and development issue, Director Sun said with a smile. Old Liu was not polite and sat on the old sofa in the room. The orange-yellow surface was covered with dark green cushions and looked a bit old.
"The Film Bureau sent something over. My researcher took a look and thought it was good. He gave it to me to read and I also thought it was quite interesting."
"what?"
Director Sun, who was making tea with a kettle, looked completely confused.
The Film Bureau passed something to his own Space Agency, causing even the most powerful general under his command to become interested.
Could it be that among this group of artists there is such a talent who also does research in aerospace? Is this what it means to be a great recluse in the city?
It is true that there are many experts among the people.
Seeing the other person's incredulous expression, Lao Liu knew that he had misunderstood. He pushed his glasses and said with a smile, "It's not that. Pay attention and don't burn your hands. It's a movie project."
"Oh, if you hadn't told me earlier, I would have been planning to come to your side to rescue him. Such a talent can't be left there to be buried. It turns out it's a movie."
Director Sun brought two cups of freshly brewed hot tea to the table and looked at the other person with disdain. He spoke in segments without finishing his words, which led to misunderstanding.
"You asked me to drink tea, so just talk slowly. Otherwise, you'll finish talking in a flash and won't even have tea."
Old Liu smiled, picked up the teacup, blew on it, and sniffed it. It smelled really good.
"Da Hong Pao? You have a wrong mindset. You used to drink it with Tie Guan Yin."
"Don't give me that." Director Sun said with a smile, "This is a reward from the higher-ups for our cadres. This successful manned space flight will be remembered in our country's history. This is a reward for my work."
"Then I have helped a lot. I will take some later."
"Don't come on, what's going on? Why are you talking about my tea again?"
When Director Sun saw that his baby was being targeted, he quickly changed the subject.
The effect was quite good. Just looking at the tea leaves, Lao Liu almost forgot about his business. He opened the paper bag on the table in front of him and took out the contents.
"A script sent by the Film Bureau. They want to cooperate and help."
Director Sun was speechless and said, "Script? Didn't they come to us to make a movie?"
"Why don't you take a look at it first? I think it's an interesting script. The person who wrote it is not simple either. He is the famous director Chen An."
“The guy who won the Oscar?”
"Yes, it's him." Old Liu said in surprise, "I didn't expect you knew him. He is one of the best directors in the country. My daughter loves watching his movies and praises him to the sky all day long."
"Their entertainment news is all over the place. It's not like I don't read the newspapers."
Director Sun said that he also has some free time.
"That's good to know. I think it's quite interesting and it's an opportunity to write about it." Seeing that the other party also understood it, Lao Liu didn't explain too much and motioned for the other party to take a look.
"The young man wants to cooperate with us to help him. It just so happens that we can promote it and earn some research and development funds by participating."
Lao Liu thought it was a good idea and expressed his willingness to cooperate.
Director Sun didn't care. "How much money can this make? The research and development funds in the bureau are flowing like water. I feel sad when I see it."
I plan to take a look at the stuff first to see what it looks like. It's good, so it's okay to cooperate with it. It can help and promote the aerospace industry.
Old Liu was prepared. He took a sip of tea and slowly stretched out three fingers.
"I thought you knew a lot about him, but you haven't seen much. His last movie was reported by the media to have earned over 30 million."
After saying this, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. Fortunately, he had listened to his daughter's nagging a lot and knew a lot.
Director Sun glanced at it and still didn't care much, "Thirty million won't take long."
"Beautiful knife!"
"?"
Director Zhang suspected that he had heard it wrongly, "30 million US dollars? Are you kidding?"
Old Liu nodded with a smile on his face, as if he was making a fuss.
"Then let me take a look at what it's talking about."
Director Sun said that his vision was limited. He originally planned to take a look and if it was good, he would give a hand, which would be a good opportunity to promote the aerospace industry.
It seems that this could earn some R&D funding, so we'll have to take a closer look.
Old Liu looked at the other party's anxious look and said with a smile: "Grow potatoes on Mars!"
