Chapter 126: Founding of a Nation
"Mr. Han."
Han Sanping looked at Shen Lang with a smile: "It's fast enough."
"You summoned me, so of course I rushed back non-stop."
Han Sanping patted Shen Lang on the shoulder: "Let's talk about the project first. The managers of the eight major theater chains will be here for a while."
Han Sanping made a cup of tea for Shen Lang, and Shen Lang quickly took it.
"The leaders above have this idea and plan to shoot it in three parts, namely the founding of the country, the founding of the party, and the founding of the army, to celebrate the motherland's birthday."
Shen Lang nodded: "It should be."
"The first film must be about the great cause of the founding of the country. The leadership did not give a big budget. Making this kind of film is still a gift film to celebrate the birthday of the motherland. I can't shudder at anything."
"That is, that is."
"So the problem arises. We don't have much money and we can't afford well-known actors. What should we do?"
"Um, Mr. Han, what's the budget?"
Han Sanping took a sip of tea: "50 million, with a budget for propaganda."
Shen Lang...: "This... is too little."
"It's hard to say otherwise. Although the leaders have spoken, some locations and the military needed for filming can be given green light and cooperate in all aspects, but 50 million, you think this is enough money, just burn it for big scenes, hire whatever you want. A few well-known actors are not enough, and it will cost a lot of money to promote the project. If it is not done well, it will be shameful and I will take responsibility."
"So you're going to leave the job to me?"
Han Sanping smiled: "What do you mean by pushing? This is to give you a chance."
Shen Lang touched his chin: "I have a way to solve the actor's problem. And I can invite all the famous actors in the industry to come over."
Han Sanping became interested: "What can we do?"
"Whoring for free."
Han Sanping had a question mark on his face? ? ? ?
Shen Lang lit a cigarette: "To celebrate the motherland's birthday, you still need to pay? Let them come and participate in this project. It is their honor. It would be good if they are not allowed to pay for the performance."
Han Sanping understood what Shen Lang meant.
Han Sanping rubbed his hands: "This is not good..."
Although he said so, Han Sanping's face showed emotion.
Shen Lang said with a bad smile: "What's wrong with this? It's to celebrate the motherland's birthday. As long as the Ministry of Information and the China Film Group make an announcement, people will naturally line up, and I can guarantee that they will rush to line up. This But the only solution is that we can’t attract investment, right?”
Han Sanping shook his head: "How can this project attract investment? If it can really attract investment, I will invest myself. How can private capital come in to participate in the project given by the leader? It is still this kind of project."
"It's good to have sex for free."
Shen Lang's lips raised slightly: "Mr. Han, I don't think I can do it as a director."
Han Sanping was stunned when he heard this: "What do you say? You just solved the actor's problem for me. Are you ready to give up your choice? Are you afraid?"
Shen Lang waved his hands quickly: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I'm too inexperienced. As soon as the announcement comes out for this movie, there will definitely be a gathering of big names. I'm just a little bitch, I can't control the crowd at all. I'll speak when the time comes. , It doesn’t matter.”
"Don't worry, I'll be your producer."
Shen Lang shook his head: "Mr. Han, my qualifications are really not good. In this industry, people are ranked based on seniority. Even if you serve as a producer for me, if you say something that should or should not be said, you will still offend people. And I am so People are notoriously bad-tempered. If the filming doesn’t go my way, I’ll scold you. I won’t joke with you at all, and I’ll cause an accident to you when the time comes.”
Han Sanping...
"Do you still have this... temper?"
"Yeah, nickname, tyrant on set."
Han Sanping......
"Then...okay...I'm looking for a suitable one."
"Mr. Han, I don't think anyone is suitable for you to look for in this play. You might as well take charge yourself. If you go, who dares not give you face? And if you take charge in person, your appeal will definitely be strong. Everyone knows it. The artists who come at that time are naturally more famous.”
"Me? I haven't held a guide tube in years..."
"This is nothing. Just arrange a reliable assistant director."
Han Sanping was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded, this is a good idea.
Han Sanping smiled and patted Shen Lang on the shoulder: "Good boy, okay, I will remember your kindness for this matter."
Shen Lang waved his hand: "You are too polite."
"How about you become the assistant director?"
Shen Lang shook his head: "I can't do it. You'd better find someone with high moral character and good at making historical biopics. I can do some odd jobs for you."
"A handyman? Are you overqualified and underqualified?"
"As you said, to celebrate the motherland's birthday, there is no need to overdo it. It is all a gift to the motherland. I am a brick for the people. I can move it wherever it is needed."
Han Sanping laughed loudly: "You boy, you are really born to be in officialdom."
