As promised, Xiao Xianrou, will you play the suona in the haunted house?

Yanjing.

Just after returning from Jinyang with Yang Sisi over the weekend, we received a call from the chairman of China Film Group.

"You're back? How was your trip to Jinyang?"

"The result is quite satisfactory. At least the preliminary budget has been prepared. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you, Uncle Zhang, for your introduction. When will you be free, let me express my gratitude?"

On the phone over the weekend, I thanked Zhang Shuming very much. Anyway, I expressed my feelings.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Zhang Shuming, the chairman of China Film Group, does not have time to eat on weekends.

"Forget it about eating. There will be an exchange meeting held by Yanjing City leaders in a few days. If you have nothing else to do, you can come and join in the fun."

Although the chairman of Huaying Group is Zhang Shuming, the largest shareholder behind it is Yanjing Film Studio. As the chairman, he is inextricably linked to the system.

This is why although Huaying is low-key, its status in the Chinese film circle is even more feared than the Huayi of the Huang brothers.

This exchange meeting is actually an internal exchange meeting organized by the Yanjing City Culture and Tourism Department. It is difficult to get in touch without a certain identity and status.

"This time, the Yanjing City Culture and Tourism Department has specially issued a new policy and plans to allocate a piece of land to support the film and television industry and build a film and television base."

"Personally, I am more optimistic about your movie. At least you are really working hard to make a good movie, instead of doing commercial real estate under the guise of making movies like others."

The situation Zhang Shuming mentioned on the phone is actually a very common thing in the film and television industry.

With the development of the film market in recent years, major domestic film production companies have also emerged in endless ways to make money.

Among them, some film companies, in the name of building a film and television base for making movies, applied for local land to build a film and television base with great fanfare.

But often the final result is that film and television bases are nothing more than donkey dung balls with a smooth surface, and most of the land is used by film companies to develop commercial real estate.

After all, there are times when you may lose money when making a movie, but commercial real estate is basically a business where you can make a profit without losing money.

Therefore, as soon as news of this exchange meeting spread, several major domestic film production companies were already eyeing it, including old acquaintances from the weekend, the Huang brothers from Huayi.

The exchange meeting was held at the State Guesthouse. When Zhang Shuming and I arrived at the weekend, we happened to see the Huang brothers entering the door.

"It's true that enemies are on the same road~"

Looking at the backs of the Huang brothers on the weekend, I couldn't help but sigh.

"what are you saying?"

"It's nothing, I'm a little nervous. After all, our company has just been established, and I'm a little worried that I don't have enough qualifications."

Weekend shook his head and said nervously.

"These are not things you should worry about. Since I recommended you, it means that you must have your own advantages. Just tell the truth when the time comes."

Zhang Shuming said noncommittally, with a sense of confidence in his words, patted Zhou Xing on the shoulder, and led him into the venue.

As soon as we entered the venue, we saw many familiar faces from the weekend.

In addition to the Huang brothers, several investors who met at the last celebration banquet also saw it.

"Old Zhang, you are here."

"Do you have any new projects recently? When will you help the brothers?"

Along the way, there were many people who came to greet Zhang Shuming, which also shows his connections in the circle.

However, compared to Zhang Shuming, the most popular person at the venue was definitely the person in charge of the cultural and tourism department who wore gold-rimmed glasses and had a small belly.

The Huang brothers and several other big investors were sitting around the person in charge.

Even from a distance, one could see over the weekend that the Huang brothers deliberately lowered their posture in front of the person in charge, and they seemed to be asking for help.Needless to say, the Huang brothers must have taken a fancy to the land specially approved by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

Weekend chuckled in his heart. The Huang brothers were quite well informed, and they caught the scent so quickly.

It's really not that enemies don't get together, they will be competitors again this time.

"Uncle Zhang, I'm going to the bathroom."

After returning from a trip to the bathroom, I discovered that the Huang brothers had gone somewhere over the weekend, and the person in charge of the city’s cultural tourism was now Zhang Shuming.

When Zhang Shuming saw that he was coming back from the weekend, he immediately waved to him and motioned for him to come over.

"Xiao Zhou, this is Director Qin."

"Hello, Director Qin."

Weekend bent down slightly and reached out to Director Qin.

When Director Qin shook hands, he kept looking at the weekend with a smile.

"Xiao Zhou, I heard from Lao Zhang that you plan to make a domestic science fiction film?"

Zhang Shuming had obviously already talked about something with Director Qin, and Director Qin got straight to the point.

"Yes, we believe it's time for China to make a science fiction film with its own local style."

At this time, of course, the bigger the goal, the better.

Because for people like Director Qin, making money or not is never the most important thing. Results are the only thing they value.

"Young people are good and have fighting spirit. Tell me carefully, what are your plans?"

Weekend knew in his heart that Director Qin was setting a question for himself. Only if the answer satisfied him could he be included in the list of candidates.

"Our initial budget for this movie is [-] million, and the production cost alone is around [-] million. According to our initial vision, we need to build a real-life studio to restore most of the scenes in the movie..."

"This live studio alone would require about [-] square meters of space..."

I had already received guidance from Zhang Shuming over the weekend, so I didn’t brag deliberately, but sought truth from facts and came up with the idea of ​​filming "The Wandering Earth".

In Director Qin's ears, although he couldn't understand things that were too professional, he could at least understand one thing, that is, they were really preparing to make a good movie over the weekend, instead of describing what they could do after the completion of the film and television base. How much benefit does it bring to the local area?

This makes Director Qin very satisfied.

Because for people in his position, he can easily distinguish between truth and lies. Often those who like to brag are less reliable.

……

at the same time.

On the other side of the venue, the Huang brothers were sitting and drinking with several investors.

"Old Huang, it seems that you are determined to win the film and television base this time. Your old rival is in contact with Director Qin, and he can still drink here so calmly."

At this time, an investor who had met Weekend before suddenly came over and said to Huang Zhongkun.

"Old rival? What old rival?"

Huang Zhongkun was confused and didn't understand the meaning of the other party's words.

After saying that, he immediately looked in the direction of Director Qin, and then saw Weekend talking in front of Director Qin, and his face suddenly darkened.

Why is he here? (End of chapter)
