Chapter 233: Advice from Zuoshan Diao
The production schedule of "Inception" is not short. Even if it starts filming, it will take until the end of this year or early next year.

These people all know this.

But when Nolan and Leonardo heard it, they followed without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chen took out the second project "Space Passengers". The four of them looked at the investment budget on the plan and found out it was another "Thieves Gate"!
"A space sci-fi movie worth 8500 million? We shoot it ourselves?" Ren Zhonglun took a quick look at the plan and had a question mark in his mind.

The same goes for the other three people. It’s not that they don’t dare to vote, but they are afraid that they won’t be able to take the picture.

Li Chen nodded, and he understood the doubts of several people: "Indeed, but the special effects production will be done by New Line."

"I'll be honest with you. I've been writing this book for three years."

"In the past two years, at least four Hollywood producers were interested in this project, but they all gave up in the end."

"There are many reasons. I don't need to explain them. You can probably guess some of them."

Ye Ning smiled and said, "It's okay, Director Li."

"We have enough money. Since New Line is taking care of the special effects production, we will do it ourselves."

"Wanda is following, and you have the final say on how much share I get."

Ye Ning looked calm and composed, it seemed that the big boss Wang had given him a golden order.

Han Sanping did not hesitate: "China Film Group will definitely support you for this kind of project."

"This kind of subject matter can also be brought in to the scientific research department, whether it is the bureau or the ministry, they will definitely support it."

"If Mr. Ren has any doubts, China Film Group can also take over Shanghai Film Group's share."

Ren Zhonglun laughed angrily: "What is Shanghai Film Group worried about? I just want to clarify it."

"Even if this project loses money, Shanghai Film Group is willing to follow suit. The profits from The Thief are enough to make two more films!"

Wang Changtian remained silent. He was not as wealthy and powerful as these guys, so having a share was enough for him.

Li Chen nodded and smiled, "Okay, the final cost will depend on the budget given by the relevant scientific research department. I'll have to trouble Director Han to communicate with us on this."

Han Sanping nodded in agreement.

After getting these two projects, everyone present was basically satisfied.

Han Sanping stayed until the end. When Ren Zhonglun was leaving, he patted Han Sanping on the shoulder and said calmly, "Sanping, let's go together?"

Han Sanping said with a smile: "You and I are going in opposite directions. We are on different paths. You should go your own way."

Ren Zhonglun laughed, said goodbye to Li Chen and left.

Without anyone around, Han Sanping spoke without hesitation: "You are becoming more and more mature, and you know the principle of not eating alone."

Li Chen smiled and didn't respond: "Boss Han, just say whatever you want to say. There are no outsiders here."

Han Saping's face turned serious: "Apple was nominated by the General Administration. Don't be ignorant of the seriousness of the matter and speak up for Fan Qiaoqiao."

Li Chen raised his eyes and looked at Han Saping, feeling a little amused and helpless.

Is this what Old Han wanted to say?

"Why are you looking at me? Fan Qiaoqiao has been in your company for the whole morning. Don't let her beauty get to your head."

Li Chen was speechless: "What are you talking about, Mr. Han? In your eyes, am I so superficial?"

Han Sanping snorted twice: "That's hard to say. You've done things like risking your life for a beautiful woman before."

"I'm warning you, that document from the General Administration is no joke, don't take it lightly."

Li Chen smiled and said, "She is not Yifei. How could I possibly go against the bureau for her?"

Han Sanping stood up and prepared to leave: "Look, your true colors are revealed. So if Yifei was playing Apple, you still want to compete with the General Administration."

Li Chen was stumped by Lao Han's question and could only smile helplessly.

Li Chen sent Han Saping downstairs and to the door.

Han Saping put his hands behind his back and said, "No need to send me off. Fortunately, you didn't let Yifei act in Lust, Caution."

Before Li Chen could ask him what he meant, Han Sanping walked away.

After returning to the office, Li Chen finally understood why Han Sanping didn't leave and said these words. It seemed that the bureau wanted to use Tang Wei as an example to scare the monkeys.

Apple was banned and Tang Wei was fined.

Perhaps the seeds of disaster have already been sown for Apple today.

Old Han is pointing a finger at himself. Don't be foolish enough to speak for Fan Qiaoqiao and Tang Wei.

Reporters were asking around to find out what Jinxiu Mingzuan's conversation was about today.

But apart from knowing that it is an unprecedented large project, nothing else is known.

Sina Entertainment News

"Today, China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, Guang Guang, and Wan Da all gathered at Splendid Diamonds."

"The much-rumored big project has finally unveiled a little bit of its mystery today."

"At present, we only know that the investment in the project will be unprecedented. Other themes, directors, actors, etc. will have to wait until March to be announced."

It had only been two days since Han Sanping greeted Li Chen, but the Lust, Caution incident had not yet come to an end.

The situation in Hong Kong Island went viral first.

For a time, the Hong Kong circle was shaken, and every female star felt insecure.

Huairou Film and Television Base, the crew of "Mei Lanfang".

Chen Kaige looked unhappy and became furious when he saw the pictures uploaded online.

"Why don't you call her and ask her clearly!"

The assistant standing by also looked anxious: "I've called, but I can't get through to her or Miss Huo."

Chen Hong also frowned at the side: "Then call Ying Huang directly. It's impossible that all the people in Ying Huang have turned off their phones!"

The assistant muttered to himself, although the phone was not turned off, it was always busy. It was probably the media reporters who were also contacting Ying Huang.

"Director Chen, Sister Hong, the most troublesome person right now is not her. I'm afraid."

"What are you afraid of? Stop hesitating and just say whatever you want to say!" Chen Kaige was very annoyed.

"The Promise" has been around for several years, and it's still not over yet. Just now, "The Promise" lost the lawsuit again and paid more than 200 million yuan in compensation.

The actress who played Mrs. Mei Lanfang got into trouble again.

He is so unlucky!

"I'm worried that there will be trouble with the review by the General Administration. Will the word erotic appear on the document?"

Chen Hong nodded: "Xiao Li is right, pigeon, I'll go call Director Han."

Before the assistant named Xiao Li finished speaking, Chen Kaige's face became even uglier.

In addition to this, he was also worried that Mei Lanfang's family would have objections.

What would Mei Lanfang's descendants think if they saw these pictures?

Put yourself in their shoes. If these pictures are real, who would want a woman like this to play their mother?
At this moment, Chen Kaige suddenly thought of Li Chen.

As a director who has also won the Palme d'Or, how come he is so lucky?

It seems that from the beginning to the end, Rongchen Pictures' films have never been linked to Ying Huang's artists.

Not to mention Chen Kaige, even Yang Siwei, Li Chen's confidant.

He also frowned at this moment.

Her boss is amazing too.

In the previous project of "Ip Man 2", when Ying Huang learned that Yang Gongru was going to be replaced, he wanted to insert some people, among whom was Gillian.

But his boss, whether intentionally or unintentionally, broke his own convention of not using a couple team and appointed Cai Shaofen.
