As the pillar of Huayi, Director Feng had never had to worry about finding capital .
"We should rethink the leftover scripts . Indie films are not profitable . Most people won't pay to watch them, but they are necessary for the Chinese market . Director Chen Kaige is sincere . "
Why do all of you keep glancing at me? Am I such a narrow-minded man?
Qin Guan was speechless . He had filed that lawsuit because the director had done something wrong . This hadn't been personal . He considered the matter resolved . Qin Guan thought of himself as a reasonable man that never passed on his anger to others .
However, everyone was looking at him now, so he had to take a stand .
"In my opinion, Chinese films should develop all around . The box office is only one factor . The operator of the company could just carry out the original plan . I have no objections to that . "
The person in charge of public relations let out a long sigh of relief . She was glad to see the shareholders and directors talk harmoniously . When they didn't, things were tougher for her .
"Okay . Then we can get back to Director Chen about his proposal for 'Mei Lanfang' . "
"Chen has gone through lots of difficulties during the past few years . After that Waterloo, it took more than one year for him to prepare for his next film, yet he has finally returned to his field of expertise . That's great . It's much harder for directors to transform than it is for actors . "
"Yes . Not everyone is good at shooting commercial films . Chinese directors should stick to their own style and principles . "
This was just polite conversation . In fact, if they were given enough money and good actors, every director would transform, regardless of their style . Nobody would pass on such a chance .
"The final project is a franchise collaboration with Tiancheng . It's a big production, so a single company wouldn't qualify . If necessary, we'll unite agencies from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan . The franchise includes two films, each one for every year . John Woo will direct . The actors are still being cast . "
"All the departments can come up with suggestions for the casting . We'll leave Qin Guan's issue for later . "
Everyone nodded in agreement .
"Now, let's talk about TV series . Nowadays, the market is filled with martial art and historical shows . The Ministry of Culture has specifically pointed out that film and TV production companies should be more creative and shoot shows about ordinary people or army life . "
"I have two good scripts in my hands . One of them I got thanks to Qin Guan . The other one came from Director Zhao Baogang . Everyone must be familiar with him . "
Thanks to me?
Although Qin Guan was confused, he didn't break in . He just listened to the speaker .
"'Struggle' is a city drama about young people's lives . It stands out among the scripts, as it has nothing to do with family or neighborhood relations . Plus, we do not have to invest much in it . "
"Yes, that's pretty good . "
After a short discussion, the show was approved .
"The other show is more controversial . Are you familiar with former General Tan from the Beijing Military Region?"
Who?
"I heard that he was your neighbor in Yantai . . . "
Grandpa Tan? Where was Grandpa Sun then?
"In 2002, the Beijing Modern Drama Troupe made a theater play out of it . Its original name was 'Erna Raid' . It was awarded at the Chinese Theater Festival . I wonder why the old general sent it to you . The scriptwriter also agreed to the proposal . "
"The investment will be left up to you . "
A good neighbor was better than a brother in another town . Qin Guan nodded repeatedly in excitement . He decided that he would both invest and star in the project .
Actually, this was treasure . If it was made into a TV series, it would win even more awards . Its literature and cultural awards already indicated its distinction .
This was Qin Guan's opportunity to star in another classic and make profit from it .
Qin Guan tried his best to calm down .
"I remember him . He is my neighbor . I value his trust, so I won't disappoint him . The budget is not much . I can cover it independently . Are there any regulations or sharing arrangements?"
"Yes," an assistant replied .
"Okay . " Qin Guan nodded . "We will follow the company's rules and procedures . "
What a considerate shareholder! He was even willing to take a risk for his company .
The big drama was yet to come .
