Chapter 50: Christmas Season of Daily Life "Well, I'll make the arrangements then. The application for Little Forest is ready now. I'll put it up for you in a few days."Seeing that Chen An had no objection, Han Sanping could let go and make the arrangements directly. Both works were funded, produced and promoted by Beijing Film Academy, but after all, "Little Forest" has been confirmed to make money, and it is also Chen An's film. He still attaches great importance to the Cannes Best Director Award, the first for a Chinese-language film. Great directors are absolutely scarce in China, and Chen An is the only one of them, so Han Sanping is definitely well protected in his hands. After all, Chen An has been carrying the marks of Beijing Film Academy since his debut, and he is definitely a direct descendant of the school. Now that he is successful and famous, it is impossible to push him away. "There are also new movies that you need to keep an eye on. That's the big deal. Come and watch them if you have time. It doesn't have to be as good as Run Lola Run, but you should still pay more attention to it." After talking about the issue of movie releases, Han Sanping talked about the new film "My Sassy Girl" which had just been completed. The investment is huge, so some attention must be paid. Han Sanping feels that it is more reassuring for the screenwriter and director Chen An to personally direct the post-production. "I'll keep an eye on it even without you telling me, brother. After all, this is the movie I've spent the longest time preparing for."
"That's good. I feel relieved to have you watching over me." Hearing that Chen An was very concerned about the movie, Han Sanping felt relieved and said with a smile. Of course, it is impossible for Chen An to come here every day, like he did when he was making "Run Lola Run", but he will not be like "Little Forest" where he came once or twice in the first part and never came in the second part. I just got the news that it had been completed, and I didn’t attend the first internal screening because I was shooting a new movie. After they chatted for a while, Feng Xiaogang said goodbye and left first. His film had just started production and he was quite busy. "Brother Han, I just happened to come over. Let's go take a look at the Winter and Spring Chapter together?" Seeing Feng Xiaogang leave, Chen An also planned to leave after watching the movie, so he spoke. "Well, let's go. This is your first time as a director, and you're busy enough." Han Sanping said with a smile after hearing this. After making a phone call, he took Chen An to the screening room to watch the movie "Winter and Spring". "It's not a problem, Brother Han. It's worthy of being the Beijing Film Studio. I can't find any fault with it." After watching the film, Chen An felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Although some of it had been edited out before, Chen An was still quite satisfied with it. After all, even though I had never been here before, I had the experience of post-production from the first film, so the rhythm and everything was very good. "That's settled then. This version will be used for the release." Han Sanping felt that Chen An had no objection, so he would use this version and submit it for review tomorrow. The first part has already been released, so the second part will be released much faster. Chen An also supported him: "Okay, then let me know when the movie is released. The leading actress will probably be back by then." After the screening of the movie, Yu Jinghong has decided to come back. He is currently handling overseas affairs and plans to come back to develop. By then, it can be considered that she has officially returned to China for development. Chen An will see if he can sign her into his company. If not, it doesn't matter, as her family is very powerful. Chen An couldn't force it.
After saying this, Chen An did not accept Han Sanping's request to stay, and went to see that Chen Kun's dubbing work had not been finished yet. Let him continue dubbing, and when the time comes, he can leave and the company can reimburse the taxi fare. For the time being, Chen An has not written any more scripts, but he has already written all the films he wants to shoot in the near future. There wasn't much to do at the company, and Chen An didn't know much about TV dramas. The money he had wasn't enough to produce a TV series after filming "My Sassy Girl". So it has been idle ever since, and Chen An would occasionally come to the Beijing Film Studio to oversee the post-production. Usually he is at school, or there are meetings that require Chen An to attend, and he will go shopping there. I enrolled in a driver's license test school and planned to get my driver's license at the same time. Now that I have money, it is inconvenient to take a taxi. There was no Didi taxi at that time. You could just tap on your phone and it would work. There were some places where you couldn't get back once you took a taxi, unless you paid the driver to wait. Two weeks later, the film passed review and Han Sanping called, and the release date was set for December 12. It replaced the previous life's "Party A and Party B", which was also postponed by one week to January 1, and will be released on New Year's Day. Outside of China, the release date of "Little Day" will be delayed by one day, to December 12. This is just in time for Christmas. People in China don't celebrate this kind of thing, but they do celebrate "Little Day", so it is scheduled on this day. However, this time the crew must go to Xiao Ri Zi to promote it. The last release was also to test the waters. I didn’t expect that the market would like Xiao Ri Zi so much. The box office is still several times that of the mainland, so we still need to promote it more there. Chen An did not refuse and went there to promote the film first. He would definitely go there later when "My Sassy Girl" comes. However, by then, South Korea will be the key propaganda area besides the domestic area. Chen An is quite interested in converting exports to domestic sales. In mid-October, Yu Jinghong officially returned from the United States, and Chen An also rushed to the airport to pick him up. What followed was a tough battle. Chen An persisted for a week and had to move back to his home. The opponent was very powerful, so Chen An had to temporarily avoid the attack. Yu Jinghong was very satisfied. She felt that she was radiant and had a smile on her face. Chen An passed the driving test in one try, just like in his previous life. After that, I went to the car shop to pick up the car immediately. Chen An didn't buy anything too expensive, he just wanted to practice, and the car models that Chen An would be familiar with in the future had not yet been released. The only ones I know of are Benz, which are too expensive and unnecessary. I will consider these when the company becomes bigger. Chen An bought a fourth-generation Accord as his own car. At the beginning, I was quite interested in it and drove it out often. Later, I parked it at the door and hardly drove it anymore. I only drove it when I went to the Beijing Film Studio. I usually don’t drive the car when I go out to eat. After all, sometimes I just take a taxi when I want to drink. Chen An basically never went to the dormitory. Chen Wei had already graduated, and Chen An no longer lived in the dormitory, but he would come back every day.
However, with the help of Chen An, he joined the Beijing Film Studio and is now filming with the crew. Sometimes I would invite Chen Kun and Zeng Li to have dinner together. After all, they are my employees and I have to show some concern for them. Both of them listened to Chen An and studied hard at school. The movie had just been completed and no one would approach them to offer them a film contract. Zeng Li and Chen Kun would occasionally come to Chen An's house and sometimes give Chen An some local specialties. Chen An would also invite the other party to stay for dinner. By mid-November, autumn was approaching and the promotion of "Little Forest" officially began. Chen An's vacation is over. Start cooperating with some preliminary publicity. I appeared on some domestic programs first, and the promotion of my little life came later. Usually I am with Yu Jinghong. on the show. Host: "Director Chen and Ms. Yu are here to promote the sequel to Little Forest: Summer and Autumn. I wonder if Director Chen has anything to say." "It can't be considered a sequel, but the two parts are integrated into one to form a complete story for the audience. It's just that the shooting time is long, so it is divided into two parts for release." Chen An took over the host's words and answered. Host: "I heard that the film took more than half a year to shoot, and it was completed in two takes. A lot of the food was grown by the producers themselves. I don't know if that's true, Ms. Yu." Yu Jinghong took over the topic: "Yes, that's right. The filming took a long time because there were four seasons of filming. The filming started in the summer and continued after the Spring Festival. Many of the vegetables were planted by the director himself." "Did Director Chen really plant it himself?" "Not all of them. Some of them were planted by me, but most of them were planted by the crew. Because we have a lot of time, we can also plant them ourselves." Chen An did not deny that he did grow a lot of his favorite foods during the filming. The host then continued to ask some questions about the crew, but Chen An let Yu Jinghong answer most of the questions. Some interesting things happened during the filming of the crew. Ask for votes
