Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 78 Operations Director
After hanging up the phone, Li Chen wondered in his heart, could Yang Mi be
Make an appointment with him to meet tomorrow.

Thinking back on it, it seems unlikely.

Yang Mi has a chivalrous character and is a decent person, after all, she has a policeman father.

If you can’t figure it out, stop thinking about it.

Back to the private room.

Jiang Wen still looked radiant.

He laughed loudly and said, "Brother, I, Jiang Wen, rarely obey anyone, and you count as half of one."

"I won the award at Cannes at the age of 37, Chen Kaige was 41, but you got it done at the age of 22!"

"If my brother hadn't already fully invested in this play, I would definitely count you in."

"Come on, let's go one more."

It’s good that you didn’t look for me, Li Chen smiled secretly in his heart.

As I recall, The Sun Also Rises lost a lot of money.

It seemed that the funding chain was broken in the end, and Yang Shoucheng from Yinghuang came in to fill the gap.

Li Chen remembered correctly, but he neglected himself.

A few months later, Jiang Wen's The Sun Also Rises spent all of Huayi's 1800 million.

But less than half of the film has been shot.

The two Wangs were unwilling to make additional investments.

There was no other way, so Jiang Wen found Han Sanping, and Han Sanping found Li Chen.

Of course, this is something.

Jiang Wen raised his glass and Han Sanping stopped drinking after reaching his limit.

Li Chen knocked the cup down and said with a smile: "I have reached my limit, there is still a long way to go."

Han Sanping also said, "Okay, we've met today, it's getting late, let's go."

Jiang Wen put down the cup and said with a smile: "Okay, let's do it another day."

"If you have time, come visit my brother's crew and give me some advice."

"To be honest, I've been feeling very uncomfortable these past five years."

Han Sanping laughed when he heard this.

Li Chen also smiled and said, "You're fine, you're a director and you're supposed to do your job as a director."

"As an actor, I want to be both the director and the producer."

"Lu Chuan didn't have many works to begin with, and the movie "Looking for a Gun" became a joke among people in the industry!"

"How dare you say you're feeling aggrieved!"

Jiang Wen laughed: "Director Han, you should have introduced me to Li Chen earlier."

"This temper is exactly what I like. I dare to say anything!"

"You and I should have known each other since the last premiere of Heroes of Heaven and Earth."

"You were so good that you didn't even give me face, which made my brother feel a little unhappy at the time!"

Li Chen didn't say anything more. Jiang Wen was obviously drunk and talked more and more.

With his arm around Li Chen's shoulder, Li Chen kept a distance without leaving any trace.

On the way back, Li Chen and Han Sanping decided that the premiere of Shoplifters would be held on June 15th.

Han Sanping told Li Chen not to worry, as he would take care of everything including the guest invitations.

The scale and level are absolutely unprecedented.

Li Chen thought to himself, it seems that the profits from the thief family have given Han Sanping more say in China Film.

Perhaps removing that word "sub-" is a foregone conclusion.

Han Sanping criticized Li Chen again, saying that he had quietly launched the Lost in Thailand project.

Li Chen did not make any excuses.

After all, Rongchen Pictures is his own private enterprise.

There is no need to include China Film Group in every project.

From beginning to end, Li Chen was conveying a message to Han Sanping.

Rongchen Pictures and China Film Group have an equal cooperative relationship.

No one is anyone's vassal or subsidiary.

It wasn’t like that before, and it won’t be like that in the future.

Li Chen had asked Yang Siwei to hand over Ip Man's script early on.

Han Sanping also looked at it and told him that he didn't need to wait for approval.

The approval will definitely not be delayed, he guaranteed that it will be approved within a week.

Casting and early crew preparation work can be carried out simultaneously.

The next day, when he returned to the company, Xu Zheng came to report the situation of Lost in Thailand to Li Chen.

Xu Zheng is really good and his cost control is impeccable.

He still called his wife Taohong to play the role of his wife.

The other supporting roles were also played by relatively unknown and affordable actors.

Yang Mi stood under the building of Jinxiu Mingzuan.

Looking up at the huge panda swinging on the swing logo of Rongchen Films
After hesitating for two seconds, she strode into the building without hesitation. The assistant took her to the elevator and went to a meeting room.

"Ms. Yang, please wait a moment. Director Li is on the phone."

The assistant poured Yang Mi a cup of coffee.

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry," Yang Mi said a little nervously.

The coffee of Rongchen Films is a step higher than that of Rongxingda.

One is freshly ground and the other is instant.
Alas, I originally wanted to meet my senior outside.

In the end, the senior said that it was not necessary and he didn’t have time.

Just come to the company directly.

I don’t know if the senior has guessed why she came.

Yang Mi felt uneasy.

Li Chen was a little surprised when he received Lu Ying's call.

"How did Mr. Lu know that I was recruiting people?"

"Director Tian wanted to recommend Xiaobin and asked for my opinion," said Lu Ying.

"Senior Brother Wu Bin? Haha, the teacher kept it a secret from me." Li Chen said with a smile.

When I met Tian Zhanzhan that day, I told him that I wanted to recruit a management talent who was familiar with the film and television industry.

Tian Zhuangzhuang said at the time that he would help Li Chen think of a solution.

I didn't expect that there would be any results now.

"Well, do you think he is suitable?" Lu Ying said.

In Lu Rong's opinion, since Tian Zhuangzhuang recommended her son, she also felt that Rongchen Pictures was a good place to go.

Since I know Li Chen, there is no need to pass on the message to avoid causing misunderstanding.

"It's appropriate. Senior Brother Wu graduated from the Department of Management and won the Golden Rooster Award."

"It couldn't be more perfect. I'm just afraid that Senior Brother Wu won't be willing to condescend to you." Li Chen said with a smile.

"I asked Xiaobin, and he is willing."

"Working for you will not bring disgrace to him as a golden rooster." Lu Ying also said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Li Chen felt happy.

Now that Wu Bin is here, I don’t have to do everything myself.

It just so happened that the company was lacking an operations director.

Once Wu Bin arrives, everything will be done.

In the future, Yang Siwei and I will be together as one, so I won’t have to worry about anything.

Li Chen remembered that the screenwriter of the main theme movie Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy was Wu Bin.

The teacher really helped him a lot.

Li Chen called Tian Zhuangzhuang again and thanked him profusely.

Then he contacted Wu Bin and they made an appointment to meet at the company.

After finishing all this, Li Chen went to the conference room to meet Yang Mi.

Now I am the focus wherever I go, and the company is no exception.

Meeting a young actress in the office, especially a female one, is bound to lead to gossip.

Meeting outside is more likely to be captured by reporters.

It would be better to meet openly in the company's conference room.

Employees won't make comments if they see it.

Today, Yang Mi is wearing a pink suspender dress with bangs that match her square face shape.

Still young
Seeing Li Chen coming in, Yang Mi stood up nervously.

"Senior."

"Sit down, sit down and talk." Li Chen said with a smile.

Yang Mi had an illusion in her heart, as the senior was obviously only three or four years older than her.

But there is always a sense of maturity and command in his every gesture.

Compared with the two female bosses of Rongxingda.

One is like a Fortune 500 company, and the other is more like a township entrepreneur.

Yang Mi took a sip of coffee to calm herself down.

Li Chen asked: "How are you doing recently?"

A warm feeling flowed through Yang Mi's heart.

She thought the senior would get straight to the point and ask her why she came today.

Yang Mi told Li Chen about her recent situation.

Although there was no complaint when talking about Rong Xingda.

But his words still expressed regret that good resources were not available to newcomers like him.

He also took the opportunity to express his envy of Tang Yan.

Li Chen didn't respond to her and didn't care about her relationship with Tang Yan.
