Chapter 57 I think I'm going to be very old
"My Sassy Girl", which Chen An has high hopes for, has not yet been released and has just completed post-production.

Chen An's funds increased several times in an instant. After finishing filming "My Sassy Girl", he even bought a house.

There is not much money left, but after the box office revenue is received this time, the funds will double.

You can officially move towards your small goals.

Han Sanping also discovered that since he started working with Chen An, he seemed to have met the God of Wealth.

Since the last "Run Lola Run", the money earned from the collaboration has been more than in the previous few years combined.

This does not include the losses from before.

It is common for movies to lose money, and it is a high-risk investment. Fortunately, the Beijing Film Studio is state-owned and can sustain it.

The accounts in the past few years were all in the red. Although it was based in Beijing, it was surpassed by Xiying.

Of course, the whole country is overshadowed by Xiying.

Chen An, the best director winner at Cannes, is quite impressive, but he pales in comparison to the Xi'an Film Studio.

He has produced a large number of great directors and actors, and he can almost be said to be the one who made the decisions in the film and television industry.

It is extremely glorious, with two Berlin Golden Bears, one Golden Lion and one Palme d'Or in hand, which are already the three best awards in the mainland!
If nothing unexpected happens, there will be another Golden Bear and another Golden Lion.

Holding three Golden Bears, two Golden Lions and one Golden Palm!

That group of awesome directors basically all came from the Xi'an Film Studio, which is why Han Sanping values ​​himself or the directors.

However, eventually, with the withdrawal of private distribution licenses and the gradual departure of directors.

The Xi'an Film Studio, which was once so glorious that it could even represent most of the history of Chinese cinema, inevitably went into decline.

It can even be said that except for the Beijing Film Studio which was upgraded to China Film Group, most of them have basically declined.

In the changing times, everything seems insignificant.

In this industry, state-owned enterprises cannot defeat private enterprises and will eventually decline. However, the originally weak film industry has gradually grown stronger with the opening up.

I have grown to a level that I never dared to imagine!
"Brother Chen, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. For so many years, all the film studios in the country have been suppressed by the Xi'an Film Studio. Finally, it is time for our Beijing Film Studio to hold its head high!" Chen An did not go home, but turned a corner and drove directly to the Beijing Film Studio. He was a little excited to see Han Sanping.

Xiying is like a mountain, towering over all the other studios.

After waiting for so long, he finally had this great victory. Han Sanping was so excited that he danced with joy when he talked about it.

I am also extremely grateful for my original choice to cooperate with Chen An.

First, he won the Golden Lion Award for Best Short Film in Venice, and then won the first Best Director Award for a Chinese-language film in Cannes!
The film also had successive box office success and was even exported overseas, breaking the record for the highest box office for a Chinese-language film. This one movie brought the business of the past few years to profitability!
It is not only a tribute to his achievements in this position, but also a relief!

There is no better feeling than to vent your anger in front of the Xi'an Film Studio, which once dominated all other film studios!

For Han Sanping, there is nothing more satisfying than this!
I wish I could fly to Xi'an Film Studio right now to talk to them.

"By the way, since you are here, come to my house for dinner tonight. I will ask your sister-in-law to cook some delicious dishes. Don't refuse."

"Okay then, I'll drive with you then."

The other party was very happy and Chen An didn't want to ruin his mood, so he agreed. Anyway, he had to cook for himself when he got home, and he could get a free meal by going to his house.

Han Sanping, who was in high spirits, seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly stood up and walked to the cabinet against the wall, rummaged around, and took out a box with simple packaging.

After taking it to Chen An and opening it, he found that there was a box of cigars inside.

All I saw was a piece of paper with "COHIBA" written on it wrapped around the cigar. It looked like it must be quite expensive.

"Here, have one, brother. Someone gave it to me. It's said to be from Cuba. Let's try it today." Han Sanping unpacked the package, took out two cigarettes, and handed one to Chen An.

"You smoke this stuff too? I bought it once in Cannes last time, and I don't really like it." Chen An reached out to take the cigar, took it in his hand and looked at it, then brought it to his nose and smelled it, but didn't feel anything.

Last time in Cannes, I felt dizzy after smoking for a short while, and that was after I had heard that cigars should not pass through the lungs.

There were three cigarettes left in the last box, so Chen Anquan gave them to Zhao Xiong, who seemed to be a smoker.

Han Sanping handled the cigar in his hand skillfully: "It's okay. I learned to smoke after others gave me some. It's much more refreshing than cigarettes."

Then it was lit and a large puff of smoke was emitted.

Chen An also followed his example and lit it to try the smell. Well, it didn't smell anything special, just quite fragrant, but with a lot of smoke.

If you add some whiskey and some ice, you can make a movie.

"Smoke as much cigarettes as you want here first, and don't smoke when you get to your brother's house. My daughter is at home today." Han Sanping, like a devil in the smoke, suddenly reminded Chen An.

To be honest, the cigar was really big. Chen An couldn't see the other person's face even though he was sitting next to him.

"Okay, okay. Or let's not smoke it. I feel like we're smoking bacon."

Chen An naturally knew the other party's daughter. He had seen her last time. She was a little kid.

However, Chen An still couldn't get used to cigars. At most, he could put them in a cup, but he didn't need to smoke them himself.

"Wait a minute, it's rare to take it out and draw it, and you're not happy when others can't draw it. But I still want to thank you for something, for letting me and the Beijing Film Studio be proud of it."

"No, I have to thank my brother for his support. If I go to Xiying Studio, they might not be willing to make this kind of movie."

Chen An didn't want to talk about this with Han Sanping. It would be boring if men talked too much.

And this is really the case with Xi'an Film Studio. At the beginning, Xi'an Film Studio didn't even want to put its name on the film "A Chinese Odyssey" because they felt it was not good enough.

Han Sanping and I will definitely have a long-term cooperative relationship in the future, so there is no need to talk about all this.

Next year will also usher in the real era of mountain carving.

Han Sanping said no more: "Well, I won't say much. After I have notified and publicized this matter, we will go to my house for dinner and have a good chat."

"So urgent?" Chen An asked with a smile.

"Of course, we need to let them know as soon as possible. If I only know, it would be like walking in the dark in a brocade robe."

Han Sanping made no secret of it and was eager to let other studios know.

My movie broke the record for Chinese-language films in the world's second-largest box office market, but it wasn't much, only 37 billion yen, which is only 1.8 million RMB.

Oh, you don’t know yet. It’s okay, I’ll let you know tomorrow.

After saying that, he held the cigar between his hands, sat back at his desk and started to make a phone call, working so hard just to let his colleagues know as soon as possible.

I know that Beijing Film Studio has made some small contributions to the Chinese film industry.

Broke a small record.

After smoking for a while, Chen An couldn't stand it anymore and put the cigar back into the ashtray on the table.

I lay on the sofa to relax, and only recovered after the other party finished his call.

He drove Han Sanping to his home.

The other party's house was allocated and was not far from the Beijing Film Studio, so it only took a while to drive there.

The other party deliberately did not use the key to open the door, but stood at the door and knocked on his own door.

When the little kid opened the door and saw Han Sanping's smiling face, Chen An realized that this man was a complete daughter-con.

"Uncle An, long time no see." The twelve-year-old boy opened the door and found that there was someone else besides his father.

Chen An had also met him before, and he also liked the sweet potato peels he had given him before:

"Call me brother, what uncle? Am I that old?"

After saying that, he rubbed the other person's head with his hand.

"But Dad calls you brother and it's not right for me to call you brother." The short-haired little kid opened his big eyes and said seriously.

Han Sanping smiled dotingly and said, "It's okay, you can call me whatever you want." His usual fierce look was gone.

Chen An also nodded: "So call me brother from now on, and I will bring you sweet potato peels next time."

Under the temptation of sweet potato skin, the little bean didn't hesitate any more.

　Please vote, thank you again for the boss's reward
