Chapter 49 Release Date
It was already past ten o'clock when Chen An woke up.

After arranging a room for Zeng Li to sleep in last night, Chen An went back and went straight to bed.

Zeng Li tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep until dawn.

Chen An went over and saw that he was still lying on the bed, hiding under the quilt with only his head sticking out.

So Chen An cooked the meal first, then ran out to buy some vegetables.

Zeng Li was woken up at twelve o'clock.

"Li Zi, wake up, it's time for lunch. I have to take you to school later." Chen An stood beside her bed, pinched her face and shook her gently.

Zeng Li rubbed her eyes with her hands, and when she saw Chen An standing in front of her bed, she instantly woke up and tightened the quilt around herself.

Chen An "."

Who are you guarding against? How many actresses want this opportunity but I don't give it to them. I don't know if you are a gentleman, otherwise I would have pulled you into my room yesterday.

"Okay, go wash up when you wake up. I've left a new toothbrush and towel there for you. After you wash up, come over and eat."

Chen An didn't say much. He just told him after waking him up.

After he left, Zeng Li came to her senses and instantly covered her face with her hands in embarrassment, realizing that she had misunderstood him. She felt so embarrassed!
Sitting at the dining table, Chen An prepared the meal and waited for Zeng Li to come over.

"Eat, eat, and then I'll take you back to school." Seeing Zeng Li finished washing up, Chen An spoke without saying much.

Pick up the chopsticks and start picking up the food.

"Ang, I'm sorry."

"Don't be embarrassed. It's good for you to be more cautious. After all, there are probably many people who have bad intentions towards you."

Chen An didn't care about Zeng Li's words.

"Eat, eat." Chen An, who didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, urged Zeng Li to eat.

Zeng Li also picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

After eating, Zeng Li took the chopsticks and bowl into the kitchen to wash them, letting Chen An rest.

He didn't argue. He just took a chair and lay down in the yard, sitting leisurely.

After washing the dishes, Chen An asked Zeng Li to pack up her things, then took her out to get a taxi and dropped her off at the entrance of the Central Theatre.

Then I took the bus back to school. After all, I haven’t graduated yet, so I still have to go there at least once.

Zeng Li's return to school also attracted Shao's attention. Now school has started for a while, but Zeng Li has not come and has been filming a movie.

"Lizi is back. What's it like to work with a great director?"

"Is Director Lizi Chen strict? Will he scold people on the set? Is he fierce?"

"Lizi, you are finally back. Is Director Chen handsome? Did you take it in your hand? Hehe."

The moment Zeng Li walked into the classroom, all the students came up to ask about the situation, and some even joked.

After all, working with a great director like Chen An, who won the Cannes Best Director Award, was something they couldn't even imagine.

For students in school, being able to play the leading role in a TV series after graduation is already the best opportunity. She is the only one who can play the leading role in a movie directed by a famous director while still in school.

Even when Gong Li first starred in "Red Sorghum", Zhang Yimou was just a fledgling director. He had previously been a photographer and movie star.

You can imagine the curiosity of these students.

This was such a great opportunity, like seeing a rising star, and everyone came up to ask questions.

Normally, classmates, whether familiar or not, all came up to ask questions, and Zeng Li found it a little difficult to cope with them. She was able to calm them down only after the teacher came in.

Rescue Zeng Li.

But Chen An's situation is much better, everyone else has gotten used to it.

Anyway, since they won the award, they have become accustomed to Chen An's frequent absences and only coming back occasionally.

There were movies being filmed constantly, and the students weren’t really curious, they would just come up and say hello.

I don't dare to harass him all the time, after all, he is a big director. Chen An came back to school just to report, after all, he is still a student, and it is his last year, and he will graduate next summer.

The school has not even started this year, and soon the promotion of "Little Forest: Winter and Spring" will begin. It is estimated that it will be released in November or December.

"My Sassy Girl" is also about to start post-production, and Chen Kun will be called in to do the dubbing. The post-production narration will also occupy a lot of content.

I still have some time recently, so I must come and report in.

I went to report to Teacher Mu, wrote some leave application and leave cancellation notes and handed them in. The procedure still had to be followed.

There is no need to go to the Beijing Film Studio for the time being. Someone has already sent the films and everything over. I will take Chen Kun with me in a few days to do the dubbing.

Nowadays, Chen An spends less and less time in school. As plans are put on the agenda and more and more films are shot, he will become busier and busier.

Once the private issuance license is issued, the company's scale will have to be formally expanded, leaving even less time.

The time spent in school was also a leisure time for Chen An. It was not until Han Sanping called that Chen An took Chen Kun to the Beijing Film Studio.

"I'll take you to the post-production for dubbing later. You can do the dubbing first and I'll come find you." Chen An instructed Chen Kun.

After all, it was his first time here, and Han Sanping came to find him, so it would be impossible for Chen An to accompany him all the time when he was doing the dubbing in the later stage.

"No problem, Senior Brother. Just take me there when the time comes. You can also go talk to Director Han as soon as possible. That's more important."

"I'd better take you there first. There's no need to rush. It won't take a while."

Chen An was not in a hurry. After all, it was probably just about post-production and the release of "Little Forest: Winter and Spring".

Not less than a minute and a half.

After arriving at the Beijing Film Studio, Chen An sent Chen Kun to the post-production room. After finding a staff member to take the latter to dubbing, he started walking towards Han Sanping's office.

After knocking on the door, Chen An walked straight in and saw Han Sanping and Feng Xiaogang sitting on the sofa and chatting.

"Director Chen!" Feng Xiaogang, who was talking, turned around and saw Chen An walking in. He stood up and greeted Chen An.

Chen An also nodded and said with a smile: "Long time no see. Director Feng has finished filming the movie."

"Thanks to Director Han, the film was shot smoothly." Feng Xiaogang answered while thanking Han Sanping beside him.

Han Sanping was not polite either: "It's not a big deal. Brother Chen, since you're here, I just wanted to discuss it with you. When the time comes, the two of you will release your movie together. It won't be long before it's released. I want to hear your opinion."

"Party A and Party B" was also funded, produced and distributed by Beijing Film Studio, and Han Sanping himself was the producer of the film, so he attached great importance to it.

Chen An found a sofa and sat down directly: "I don't care, it doesn't matter whether it is released first or later. Anyway, it's already the second part, and I have some basic knowledge of watching movies."

"Little Forest" has been filmed for a long time and post-production has been completed.

It can be released at any time. If Chen An hadn't wanted to wait until winter, Han Sanping would have wanted to release it quickly.

"Well then you can both wait until December, one after the other. Your Little Forest will be released a week earlier, and his movie will be released a week later. I am very optimistic about this period."

Han Sanping thought for a moment and said.

He has always had an idea about this time period which has not yet been named. He plans to put two of his favorite movies there to make this time period more lively.

Although it may affect the box office of the two movies, he still wants to make this schedule lively.

However, Chen An knew that this was the Lunar New Year box office in his previous life, and it was also developed by Han Sanping and Feng Xiaogang in front of him.

The pioneering work is the movie they are talking about now, "Party A and Party B", but the name was not called this yet. The name was changed later.

"Okay then, I'll listen to you, brother. I have no problem with releasing it during this time slot. The film has already been produced, so just contact the film company."

Chen An did not refuse. After all, his "Little Forest" could become one of the first works in the Lunar New Year period.

Moreover, this is the second film released, and people with a good knowledge of the film industry will not underestimate Feng Xiaogang’s films.

The audiences are different. "Party A and Party B" had a box office of over 35 million, and more than 10 million were all box office in Beijing, so it's not that it can't win.

All his early films were like this, they didn’t work after crossing the river.

　Can you give me the ticket?
