Chapter 92 Chen An was arrested
After knocking on the door skillfully, Chen An opened the door and walked in.
In the familiar room, the other person was writing something with his head buried. He only raised his head after Chen An closed the door.
"How come you've decided to make the movie I mentioned?"
"We do want to make a movie, but it's not the kind you're talking about."
Chen An sat skillfully on the sofa next to him.
"For the prize?" Han Sanping thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, I want to ask you if you are willing to use the name of Beijing Film Studio, or China Film?" Chen An directly picked up the cigarette box on the table, took out a cigarette and lit it.
The name of the merger has already been determined, but the other party has not yet taken office.
Han Sanping also stood up and walked to the sofa and sat down. "Why did you find someone else besides me?"
"Xi'an Film Studio, I want to borrow some people."
"How many?"
"It's just a film that's going to win awards. I don't know if it can be released or not. I don't plan to make much money. I gave the other party 5%."
Chen An did not hide anything and talked about all these things openly.
"Let's hang it in the factory. I'm the same as the other party. Leave the release and distribution to me." Han Sanping said after thinking for a while.
Since others said so, Han Sanping didn't say much.
It was just that I had to issue more copies of the film, and it just so happened that I had also taken office at China Film Group by that time.
"No problem." Chen An nodded.
Chen An doesn't have much expectation for the box office of this movie. It would be a little helpful if it could win some heavyweight awards.
The distribution is just taken from the box office.
"Brother, what the country needs now is a successful commercial film to stimulate the market. Our focus should be on this." After the discussion, Han Sanping spoke again.
He felt that Chen An was wasting his money by shooting these art films.
Although the award is good, he now just wants to grow bigger and stronger, create greater glories, and push the box office records higher and higher.
Every day, looking at "Titanic" hanging high in the sky is like a thorn in the throat. The box office record of my own country is actually a foreign language movie.
And they are so far ahead that the advantage is almost overwhelming.
Although I knew you were very awesome before, it would still be good to use it to stimulate the film market, but you seem to be a bit too awesome, which makes people very unhappy.
Chen An shook his head. "You think too highly of me, as if I were a savior. The market is so small and chaotic. I don't have the confidence to make a big production."
Moreover, Chen An thinks that business and art are not contradictory. Even Hollywood has been supporting art films and independent films. Business is just the mainstream, not everything.
Every movie has its own audience.
When Chen An came out, the sky was already covered with red clouds.
In the office, Han Sanping kept talking to Chen An.
Only now did he come out, and Zhao Xiong outside was no longer in the car, but was standing by the car smoking and getting some fresh air.
"Let's go, Brother Zhao." Chen An said and got into the car.
After returning to the car and starting it, Zhao Xiong turned around and asked, "Do you want me to take you directly back to the company?"
"Just take me home, no need to go back to the company. You can go back first after that." Chen An rolled down the car window and slumped in the seat.
We chatted for the whole afternoon, all about each other's thoughts.
Sometimes Chen An really felt that the other party thought too highly of him. It would be difficult to make a profit unless he conquered the North American market.
Currently, there are only two candidates to conquer that market, Jet Li or Van Loong. Instead of looking for it myself, it is better to look for these two people.
The North American translation of "Hero" is the English name of the former, because North American film buyers feel that only in this way will people watch it.
Even if it was Zhang Yimou, the country's leading director who had won two Golden Lions and one Golden Bear at the top three European film festivals at the time, no matter how much he protested, it was useless because no one cared about him.
It is hard to say whether the film could have sold so much money without Jet Li. Not only did they undergo a year-long domestic promotion, they also cracked down on piracy in every possible way and signed contracts with major theaters to configure security to protect film copies.
The final box office accounted for a quarter of the annual box office, which was only 2.5 million.
The domestic box office alone did not make back the investment.
From this perspective, the box office of that big ship is simply a miracle among miracles.
After returning home, Chen An found that the lights in the house were on and couldn't help swallowing.
Besides himself, he only gave the key to his house to two other people, one was Chen Wei and the other was Yu Jinghong.
But the latter had never been here before.
Chen Wei always calls me when he comes, so I know it’s the latter this time.
After opening the door with the key, Chen An pushed the door open and walked in.
After passing through the gate and the yard, I saw a house with lights on. It was my room, with bright yellow light shining through the open window.
There was a beautiful lady standing at the window with her chin propped up, looking down at the figure walking in, smiling slightly.
Looking at Yu Jinghong who was waiting for him at the window, Chen An could only smile and say, "Long time no see."
"Long time no see. I've been waiting for you for a long time, since you came back until now." Standing on the windowsill, Yu Jinghong's beautiful lips were slightly raised, looking very charming.
Chen An, who was caught, smiled bitterly and said, "I just came back and I'm busy with something."
The main reason is that there was a great battle before returning home. It was a tough battle, with thunder and lightning and fire on the earth. The two sides fought to the edge of the world and even the avenue was almost wiped out. They are still in the recovery period.
Yu Jinghong didn't seem to care after hearing the explanation. He supported himself with both hands and said, "I'll come to you when I'm busy. Are you happy?" Then he turned around and went downstairs with a smile.
Chen An, who was standing in the yard, looked at the window where the other person left and said silently, "I'm so happy."
After waiting until the other party was about to come downstairs, he still walked into the house.
He walked into the room and turned on the light switch next to the wall. The light in the room came on and Yu Jinghong just walked downstairs.
"I've been waiting for you for the whole afternoon. Let me cook first. I'm hungry." The first sentence the other party said when he came down was to ask Chen An to cook.
After Chen An found a place to put his things down, he turned around and said, "Didn't I teach you how to cook? And you can go out to eat first. If I come back later, you will starve to death."
"I want to eat what you cook. If you come back later, I will continue to wait and ask you to cook for me in the middle of the night." Yu Jinghong sat at the table in the middle of the room, supporting his face with his hands and looking at Chen An sideways.
Chen An hung his coat on the hanger in the corner, rolled up his sleeves, opened the refrigerator, looked at the food inside and asked, "What do you want to eat? How about some stir-fry?"
"It's all right. Whatever you cook is delicious."
"Then I'll just make something."
Although Chen An hadn't eaten yet, it was already a bit late, so there was no need to make a sumptuous meal.
Two plates of meat, a plate of vegetables were fried, and a tomato and egg soup was made and served on the table.
Yu Jinghong didn't care and started eating with the meal. After Chen An put away his apron, he sat down at the table and started eating.
"Another bowl." Yu Jinghong finished a bowl of rice at the speed of light and handed the empty bowl to Chen An with confidence.
She gestured to the other person to help her serve the rice.
Chen An took the bowl helplessly, "It's only two steps away and you want me to serve you."
"It's right behind you, just follow it."
After serving the rice, he added some more for himself.
Then he continued eating.
After the other party had eaten their fill, Chen An ate the remaining dishes and left the leftover soup for later use with rice the next morning.
However, after eating, Yu Jinghong took the initiative to take the dishes to the kitchen to wash them. The division of labor was clear, Chen An did the washing while she did the washing.
Chen An also went into the bathroom and took a shower to relieve his fatigue after running all day.
After washing his hair, Chen An suddenly heard a knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open from the outside.
