Chapter 98 China Film (Subscribe!!)
The years do not live, the seasons flow.
When Chen An returned with Jiang Wen, it was already the end of April, and it had been almost two months since they staggered back.
The film has been in production, so it’s time for me to go and see it.
I didn't meet Han Sanping. He was very busy and was about to take up his new position, so he was not in the factory either.
I stayed for two days, and left after seeing that the post-production looked good. I will come back to take a look after the rough cut is out, and then I will see how to make changes.
When I went to see Uncle Ge, he had recovered and was back to the same state as before.
Lying in the rocking chair in the yard, rocking back and forth, feeling so leisurely.
The same was true for Chen An. He was busy for a while and then became idle again.
He returned to his home where he was alone. Everyone around him was a big star with constant film offers, but Chen An, the big boss, had nothing to do.
Playing badly all day long.
It was not until May that Han Sanping officially joined China Film Corporation and became its vice president, officially taking charge of most of the power of this huge group.
Whether it is the production process or the distribution channels, he has complete control over everything. He is said to be the vice chairman, but in fact he is the chairman.
He was beaming with joy as he participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony and looked very happy in the photos taken by reporters.
The biggest giant in the Chinese film and television industry has officially started operations.
Maybe he doesn't earn the most, but he is definitely the most important.
After officially taking over, Han Sanping's goal is to vigorously develop the market and make it prosperous.
This is also one of the reasons why China Film Corporation was established through merger.
Chen An also attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the other party's promotion. At the venue, he met Yudong, the other party's former top general, for the first time.
He is a fat young man. When he smiles, his eyes narrow into a line, and he looks rather honest.
The other party took the initiative to find Chen An and said, "Director Chen, nice to meet you. I'm Yu Dong, and I used to be an employee of Beijing Film Studio. It's a pity that we haven't met before." He came over to say hello with a smile and handed over a business card.
The business card of Beijing Berna Cultural Exchange Co., Ltd. contains the contact information of the other party, the founder Yu Dong.
"Hello, Mr. Yu. I have heard of your name a long time ago. You are the number one general under Han Dong. Unfortunately, I have never met you." Chen An took the business card and shook hands with the other party with a smile.
I have heard of the other party's name before. As the founder of Berna, one of the giants in the media industry like Fiber Optic, I naturally know something about him.
In his previous life, many record-breaking films were promoted and distributed by this seemingly harmless man in front of him.
You may want to learn the methods used by the other party.
"Why did Mr. Yu resign? You quit just after Han Dong got promoted." Although Chen An knew the reason, he still pretended to be curious and asked.
Yu Dong smiled and then slowly said, "I'm not afraid of Director Chen making fun of me. The group has been established and my position is gone. I decided to go out and try my luck. Director Chen, please take care of me in the future."
"Mr. Yu, I believe there will be opportunities for cooperation." Chen An did not refuse because the other party was a capable person.
In addition to Han Sanping's care, his ability to grow the company is also inseparable from his own talent and hard work.
"Thank you very much, Director Chen. Thank you very much." Yu Dong happily shook Chen An's hand and expressed his gratitude.
As Han Sanping's direct descendant, he naturally knew that the other party had a close relationship with his former leader and was a potential partner.
The circle is so small that after meeting Yu Dong, Chen An met the two brothers of the Huang family as expected.
Not only them, most of the so-called Beijing circle came, whether actors or directors.
But they didn't report to Chen An. These people are also divided into factions.
The People's Art Theatre, Beijing Film Studio and those disciples from big academies.
Chen An is a maverick among them. He is not familiar with the People's Art Theatre, and he is only on the same side as Han Sanping at the Beijing Film Studio. Among the disciples in the compound, the only one he is familiar with is Jiang Wen.
Generally speaking, he belongs to Han Sanping's faction.
But Chen An didn't care much and didn't want to get involved, so they couldn't chat together. The only ones who came over to chat with Chen An were the two Huang brothers. "It's been a long time since I saw Director Chen. I heard that he went to Hollywood and filmed a movie. He is really talented."
Wang Zhongjun, who was wearing glasses, congratulated Chen An with a smile.
"You two, Mr. Huang, are incomparable. Director Feng's movie was a huge success last year. I think this year's movie won't be bad either. I would like to congratulate you in advance." Chen An didn't care about the other party's compliments but congratulated him instead.
After Chen An went to Hollywood, the second part of Feng Xiaogang's trilogy, "See You Tomorrow", was unsurprisingly another huge success, and Feng's comedy became officially famous.
Huang Zhongjun continued to wave his hands with a smile, "How can that be compared? Xiaogang's three films combined, let alone two, cannot compare to the performance of Director Chen's one film. How can that be considered a great success?"
"That's right. If we have the opportunity to work with Director Chen, it will be the greatest success for me and my brother."
Although I don't know what the two brothers are thinking, they are generous in praising each other.
If "My Sassy Girl" can get a lot of money even if it's just a sip of soup, it's really enviable.
"We just worked together once this time. We both invested in Director Jiang Wen's movie, and I even went over to help with the filming."
Chen An expressed his willingness to cooperate? This is just the first time they have cooperated.
"Director Chen is really good at joking. What I am referring to is naturally the movies directed by Director Chen himself. If two of us brothers can come and help." Huang Zhongjun still looked the same as before, as if he didn't care about Chen An's joke just now.
"I am also looking forward to working with the two Mr. Huangs. Unfortunately, we don't have any plans to shoot a new movie at the moment, and the company's artists have to go out and find work." Chen An said with a serious face.
Huang Zhongjun didn't care and continued, "Then I will continue to look forward to working with Director Chen."
Chen An didn't say anything else but just nodded.
After a brief chat with Han Sanping, Chen An also left.
I got in the car and went back to the company with Li Xiaoping.
"Sister Xiaoping, the company is beginning to expand its distribution channels. I received a notice that private distribution will be approved soon. I'm sorry to trouble you." Chen An, who was sitting in the car, said to Li Xiaoping next to him.
Li Xiaoping nodded. "It was Han Dong who notified me. Then I will continue to recruit more people for the company."
"That's right. You can ask those major studios if there are any resigned employees who are willing to come over."
The gap in the private sector was opened, and in addition to the entry of capital, many people naturally left the original film studios.
Yu Dong is by no means an isolated example; he is just exceptionally successful.
These are all veterans who once ran this industry. They know the industry inside and out and are naturally valuable. There are also many elites among them.
"So when will we apply for the distribution license?"
"I'll wait until Han Dong notifies me. After all, the news hasn't been made public yet. The key now is to find out the distribution channels."
"Well, I'll start working on it as soon as possible. I'll be busy again."
"Hahaha, I'm so sorry that I have to trouble you, Sister Xiaoping. You are the expert in this area, and I feel at ease leaving it to you."
Chen An could only laugh it off and apologize for the employees' complaints.
"Then why not make the departments more specific so as to better manage operations?"
"Change it and divide it into departments. I'll go back and make a plan for you when the time comes."
"Director Chen, we really need to develop in an all-round way. It feels very difficult."
Li Xiaoping was a little worried, Chen An's performance was already very obvious.
It would be a huge structure to be responsible not only for film production but also for distribution, forming a complete film and television company.
"We will take it step by step and make it bigger and stronger. We cannot let go of the opportunity that is in front of us."
Chen An has not yet told the other party that he plans to set up a cinema chain in the future.
A giant integrating production, distribution and screening.
