"It's been a while, has there been any movement from that slut Li?"
Noda Kazuto of the Sihai Group has been closely monitoring news about Li Zhaoyang.
He was distressed because he couldn't find an opportunity to get revenge.
I've had insomnia at least five nights during this period.
My hair seems to have turned a lot whiter all of a sudden.
It's all because of that slut Li that I'm disgusted.
Inside the office, Kimura Taro shook his head: "I haven't heard anything big, but recently, Sunset and Starlight have been getting very close."
Noda: "Keep an eye on it, and report back immediately if there's any movement."
"It's the minister."
...
During this period of time.
This must be the busiest time for Li Zhaoyang.
Before I could even have a moment to myself, the director took me to meet an important person.
He is the president of the Film and Television Writers Association.
The president had been wanting to meet Zhaoyang for a while, and now he has the time.
The Truman Show raised the bar for the film market, and as the head of the film industry association, it's impossible for him not to get involved.
This weekend, Zhang Shulan took Zhaoyang to Sifanglou.
They also brought along their supervisors, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Gou.
The two supervisors are old acquaintances in the Sifanglou Film and Television Area, so they will definitely be brought along.
Once the group arrived at the Sifanglou Film and Television Area, no reservations were required.
Upon seeing Zhang Xincheng and Gou Yingjun, the receptionist nodded directly: "Are you here to see Representative Mays? I'll go and inform him."
“No need for that trouble, we’re here to see the chairman, we have an appointment,” Zhang Shulan said.
The staff checked the computer, entered the names, and indeed saw an appointment. They then called over the colleague in charge of guiding them and led them to the reception room that the chairman had instructed them to go to.
The staff members were quite polite.
Because Zhang Xincheng and Gou Yingjun had a misunderstanding here a while ago, which caused a lot of confusion.
They later heard about the movie "The Truman Show," but never had the time to watch it.
As time went on, more and more people talked about this movie, and even my friends recommended it, so I went to the theater to see it out of curiosity.
I was completely shocked when I saw it.
They all openly proclaimed their advanced thinking.
People living at the bottom of society, in particular, may have the illusion that they are just "extras".
Reception room.
After receiving a notification from the front desk that a distinguished guest had arrived, the president gathered his documents and came over from his office.
The president today isn't as alluring as she was a while ago.
She arrived in her work uniform, with a capable figure, and her height was unexpected, reaching 1.8 meters.
"Which one of you is Director Li?"
The president saw the group enter and immediately asked a question.
She already had a guess; of all the people in the group, that young man was the most likely to fit the description.
Sure enough, the young man stepped forward and introduced himself: "Hello, Chairman, I am Li Zhaoyang."
"Please sit down."
The chairman has long wanted to meet the director who made The Truman Show.
I never expected that a new director's debut film would be so remarkable.
With proper training, he could definitely become a famous director in the US film and television industry.
“Heroes emerge from among the young! Director Li, I’m much more handsome than I expected.” As an American, the president wasn’t shy at all and was quite open: “So? Does your company, Wanxia, have any plans to develop film and television long-term? If so, I can give Wanxia the green light.”
She had already heard that Sunset Glow was a music company.
Director Li is a natural-born director, and if he's willing, she, as the president, wouldn't mind giving him a push.
“We’ve already made that plan,” Li Zhaoyang nodded in response.
"Then, shouldn't we set up a film and television department?" the chairman asked again.
"Originally, we planned to establish it, but now that we've established a long-term partnership with Starlight Films, we've skipped some things." This is also why Li Zhaoyang had Director Yang listed as an associate in the first place.
Filmmaking is never a one-person affair.
We need a team, and no one is more suitable than Starlight.
Those are all readily available professionals.
If they were to establish their own film and television department, they would at least need to go through a period of adjustment first.
"That's good." The chairman said that hearing that they had established a long-term partnership with Starlight meant that they really intended to develop the film and television industry in the long term.
therefore.
The president, moved by the situation, asked, "Director Li, what are your plans for your next film? Or what kind of subject matter would you like to film? Just tell me, and we'll give you the green light right away, without any review."
The quality of Truman Show has indeed set a new standard for the current film market, and it is still necessary to provide appropriate guidance to such talents.
If a genius could avoid some detours, their growth rate would be astonishing.
"We already have a plan. The research will involve a love swap." Li Zhaoyang didn't intend to hide anything. Besides, since they were officials, he might as well be upfront and maybe even get some benefits in return.
"Swap romance?" the president asked doubtfully. "I've never heard of this kind of genre before."
The secretary standing to the side reminded him, "It's a romance story where the male and female leads swap bodies."
Upon hearing this, the chairman's eyes glazed over, then his expression turned serious: "Director Li, after watching The Truman, I think you are very good at making art films. You should avoid those kinds of uninspired subjects if possible."
Romance films are a popular genre in every country.
The prerequisite is that the filming must be good.
However, there is one unusual aspect to this type of romance: body swapping.
In recent years, there hasn't been a highly-rated masterpiece about swapping lovers.
The subject matter itself isn't problematic; the main issue is the core premise of the male and female leads swapping bodies, which is very difficult to handle. If not handled carefully, the male lead can be portrayed as particularly lewd, which can make female viewers feel disgusted and thus reject the idea.
The main reason is that the previous movies with the theme of swapping partners had such low ratings that most people are not interested in this genre.
"President, we've brought the film footage. You can take a look." This was Zhang Shulan's real purpose for coming here.
Even if it's a meeting arranged by the chairman, she makes the most of every opportunity to gather resources.
Once this movie gets the green light, has the chairman's endorsement, and meets all three criteria, it will definitely become a hit.
Even netizens in China have heard about it.
This wasn't just the director's idea, but also Li Zhaoyang's.
Li Zhaoyang experienced the immense popularity of this movie, which became a hit in various countries around the world.
Upon its release, it topped numerous charts, and during that period, movies featuring the theme of swapping partners became popular.
Unfortunately, with a film like "Your Name" looming large, this type of subject matter will never have a chance to shine.
Whenever a film is made in this genre, audiences inevitably compare it to "Your Name."
A comparison immediately reveals the difference in quality.
