Chapter 40: The daily life is perfect
Hide in the small building and become one, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Apart from attending classes and learning English, Chen An spends most of his time in the house.
Writing a script and growing something in your yard.
In addition to grapes, some vegetables are also planted.
Han Sanping would call and ask about the situation whenever he had nothing to do. After all, Chen An’s next movie was the top priority of their previous discussion.
Of course, Chen An would occasionally be called over to check on the post-production progress.
As for the company, Chen An seldom goes there. It is not large now and has no plans to expand it for the time being. It is more like a small studio.
"Little Forest: Summer and Autumn" was sent to Xiao Ri Zi for release.
This is Chen An’s idea. To convert exports to domestic sales, as the world’s second largest voting base, the harvest should be good.
After its release, it received rave reviews.
Yu Jinghong became an instant hit with Little Days, and the movie earned 20 billion yuan at the box office after its release, which translates to more than million yuan in China.
Although the share I get is less, it is still more than what I earn in China.
Chen An now has more money than before buying the house.
As for Han Sanping, it was not these that attracted his attention. The successful overseas release of the film had increased its influence, and it helped him in more ways than just making money.
We have already discussed it in advance, and plan to arrange the "Winter and Spring Chapter" directly at that time.
The film was released simultaneously at home and abroad, and Taiwan also got in on the movie lottery, and it was discussed with Hong Kong in advance, which avoided the damage caused by rampant piracy to the greatest extent.
After all, it’s not that difficult to live in. Pirated hard disks from the mainland can be understood by Taiwan and Hong Kong, and have a huge impact on the box office.
Chen An worked on the script until almost summer vacation, when he finally finished it. The Chinese translation of the script was done in fits and starts, during which time he attended various lectures and meetings.
Today, he is no longer the little Karami, but a famous director who has gained great fame recently. With continuous success and winning both box office awards, he is now very successful.
Moreover, I was a very slow worker and it took me several months to finish writing the script.
"Hey, Brother Han is in the factory, right? The script is ready, I'll come find you later."
After finishing the script, Chen An printed it out at home and called Han Sanping, preparing to go find him.
Ask him to hand in the script so it can pass the review quickly and start filming as soon as possible.
After picking up his things, Chen An took a taxi over there.
I haven’t had time to get a driver’s license yet, but I plan to do so after I finish filming the movie and buy a car.
Drive yourself for fun first, then hire a driver.
Chen An walked into the Beijing Film Studio and was walking on the road. Staff members kept greeting him and he nodded in response.
This time, without an assistant to lead the way, Chen An went straight to Han Sanping's office by himself.
No one stopped him, as everyone knew that Chen An was the director that Han Sanping valued now.
"Dong dong!"
Chen An walked to the door, knocked habitually, then pushed it open and walked in.
But this time, Chen An saw three people sitting in front of Han Sanping, and Chen An knew them all.
The two brothers from Huayi, Huang Zhongjun and Huang Zhonglei, and Feng Xiaogang sat next to Han Sanping and discussed the matter.
Seeing someone suddenly break in, everyone turned their heads to look, among them Huang Zhonglei frowned and looked at the newcomer.
Then he was surprised that Chen An broke in unexpectedly.
Chen An, who was stared at by everyone, smiled and said indifferently:
"Someone's here. Brother Han, you guys go ahead and talk. I'll wait a moment."
"It's okay. We've finished talking about this. Come in and sit down first."
Han Sanping waved his hand and invited Chen An to come in and sit on the sofa.
Then he turned around and introduced them to the others: "This is Director Chen, a talented director from Beijing Film Academy. You should all know him, so I won't introduce him in detail."
"Brother Chen, these are the two brothers from the Huang family. This is Director Feng Xiaogang, who they brought to see me this time. Let's get to know each other. We are all people who are developing in Beijing. We meet each other every day." Then he changed the subject and introduced the three people present to Chen An. Chen An nodded and said nothing.
The eldest of the two brothers, Huang Zhongjun, stood up first, stretched out his hand, shook Chen An's hand and spoke enthusiastically:
"Nice to meet you, Director Chen. I've heard of your name before, but unfortunately I never had the chance to meet you. Hearing about you is worse than meeting you in person. You are indeed a handsome man with outstanding talents!"
"No, no, it's all luck. Boss Huang also came here to discuss cooperation, so I will help Boss Huang succeed."
It is not advisable to hit a smiling person. Chen An did not completely ignore the person and spoke in a friendly manner.
After thinking about the time, Chen An guessed that the reason he came here was probably because of Feng Xiaogang's famous work "Party A and Party B", which was originally produced by Beijing Film Studio.
The filming will be completed this year and will be released directly.
Feng Xiaogang also became famous overnight and earned a box office of 35 million.
In its previous life, this movie was also regarded as the beginning of the mainland's Lunar New Year box office, followed by the two films "See You Tomorrow" and "No Questions Asked" which achieved successive successes.
He has completely consolidated his position as a commercial film director and is also a famous director.
But today he is no longer the hot-tempered director known as the Little Cannon in later generations, but the Feng Xiaogang who "looks up and sees the Big Dipper".
This was an opportunity he had finally come across, and he found Wang Shuo to write the script for him and shoot the film.
So when he spoke to Chen An, he spoke in a very quiet and subtle voice:
"Hello, Director Chen. It's really nice to meet you. You can just call me Xiaogang. We have finished our conversation so I won't bother you anymore."
After saying this, he even bent down and nodded, totally lacking the demeanor of the little steel cannon of later generations.
However, Chen An smiled and did not look down on him: "Director Feng, you don't have to be polite. We are all the same. I wish you success."
When he heard Chen An calling him Director Feng, he looked up in disbelief, his eyes lighting up.
Everyone around me who knows him calls him Xiaogang Xiaogang, but Chen An, a famous director whom he has never met before, is the first one to call him Director Feng. I unconsciously feel a little grateful to him.
Chen An did this because, firstly, the other party would succeed, and secondly, he admired him very much for being able to get up from that situation and endure humiliation.
Although he was a wallflower, he had admired Feng Xiaogang very much in his previous life.
He was originally just a follower of the disciples in the Beijing circle, but eventually he became one of the few great directors in the country.
It's not comparable to the wall hangings like mine.
Today, Feng Xiaogang is just a backup option for the two Huang brothers. What they are really optimistic about is Jiang Wen’s movie.
However, the two brothers had poor vision as always. Feng Xiaogang finally achieved success one after another, but Jiang Wen was banned from directing for five years and did not make any money.
In the end, the two of them abandoned Jiang Wen and coaxed Feng Xiaogang, and Jiang Wen made the masterpiece "Let the Bullets Fly", which was a great success at the box office and in good reputation!
All I can say is that the two of them have some vision, but not much, and they are a bit dishonest. They begged others to take them out to play, and then dumped them after they lost.
It's normal if they don't want to play with you afterwards. Unlike Boss Yang from Hong Kong Island, I will invest even if I lose money. What I want is your people.
Even Jiang Wen, a big man, was deeply moved.
After the three people left, Chen An took out the script from his bag and placed it in front of Han Sanping.
"I've finally finished writing it. Brother Chen, this time is not like before. It took you so long to write. Are you planning to retire now that you've become successful? That's not possible. Chinese films still need your support."
After finally getting the script that had been agreed upon, Han Sanping was quite happy and started joking.
Chen An also smiled and replied: "I have been supporting it all the time. I go to various seminars and listen to the propaganda."
"You want to be a fool, right? Just sit there and do nothing else when people arrive." Han Sanping had also seen Chen An at the meeting. He was a complete scoundrel who just sat there and did nothing else when people arrived.
"It's not my turn to speak in that place. Just follow the leader." Chen An didn't explain much. Anyway, he was called, so it was better for him to just go for the sake of appearance than to ignore the request.
After all, he is the boss.
"Love story? You're still thinking about love at such a young age, and it's a movie with a female lead. You must be the director that all actresses want to work with the most in the future."
Han Sanping was chatting with Chen An while looking at the script of "My Sassy Girl" in his hand.
Structurally it is quite ordinary, but the story is quite innovative.
Although there haven't been any outstanding love movies in the mainland so far, Han Sanping is still very relieved about Chen An's movies.
After all, Chen An is quite good at photographing women.
Please recommend, monthly tickets, everything.
