Chapter 196: Missed

Views:

In the office of the chairman of Changhe Pictures, Zhao Junhan was on the phone.

The movie "Rescue Operation" directed by Zhang Jing'an, which he invested in, has entered the post-production editing stage. In this movie, Zhao Junhan himself invested an additional 60 million yuan, so he naturally attaches great importance to it.

When the secretary informed him that Feng Nan was coming, he frowned and did not meet her immediately.

Halfway through the call, Feng Nan finally couldn't bear it anymore and pushed open the office door.

Before her rebirth, she had wanted to see Zhao Junhan several times but was stopped by others. But why did the people from Changhe Pictures dare to stop her after her rebirth when she was Zhao Junhan's legitimate fiancée

The secretary followed behind her, still whispering:

"Ms. Feng, Mr. Zhao is currently busy..."

Zhao Junhan was still holding the phone, and the person on the other end was talking to him. When Feng Nan came in, Zhao Junhan showed annoyance on his face. The person on the other end of the phone said "hello" twice because he hadn't spoken for a long time. He held back his displeasure and said with a smile:

"I'm still here."

He raised his hand and gestured to the secretary, indicating that she should go out first. The secretary retreated tremblingly and closed the door for both of them before leaving.

Feng Nan walked into the room wearing high heels, swept the documents on Zhao Junhan's office aside, pushed herself up with her hands and jumped up to sit down.

She stretched out her legs to hook Zhao Junhan, but Zhao Junhan reached out and pulled her legs apart. After finishing the call and hanging up, he frowned:

"Why are you here?"

"'About I Love You', have you helped me negotiate it?"

She leaned over to pull Zhao Junhan's tie, dragging him and pressing his body towards her:

"Who were you talking to on the phone just now?"

Zhao Junhan held her hand, but instead of following her strength and moving closer to her as he had done in the past, he pulled her hand away and pulled back his tie, adjusting it a few times:

"The negotiations didn't go well. After discussing with Zhao Rang, the people from Ruihe gave the female lead of the film to Century Galaxy."

"What?"

Feng Nan became anxious. She sat up straight with an angry look on her face:

"How is that possible?"

She remembered that the female lead of the movie "About I Love You" was supposed to be Zhao Ruoyun from Huaxing, so how come it was snatched away by Century Galaxy

Zhao Rang has always been famous for shooting movies about the struggles of ordinary people. Among his previous movies that did well at the box office, he has never tried pure love and literary movies.

His previous films, like "The 99th Love Letter", were mainly based on male perspective. "About I Love You" can be considered a transitional work for him, making an alternative film from the perspective of a female protagonist.

After the movie participated in the China International Film Festival, Zhao Rang quickly won the Best Screenplay Award for this film. After its release, it received unanimous praise and the box office exceeded 1 billion. Because of her performance in this film, Zhao Ruoyun's value has continued to rise, and she has become a popular actress in China, and is poised to squeeze into the ranks of first-line actresses.

It can be said that "About I Love You" was ultimately well received, both in terms of box office and word of mouth, with a large number of viewers. As a result, the copyright was eventually bought by foreign countries, laying the foundation for Zhao Ruoyun to enter the international market in the future.

The most important thing is not just that. After Zhao Rang filmed "About I Love You", he immediately filmed "Devil", which was Feng Nan's real goal.

After Zhao Rang finished filming "Demons", he participated in the French International Film Festival. At the premiere, "Demons" became an instant hit as soon as it was played.

The superb performance of the male lead Liu Ye in this film won him the French Best Actor Award, and Zhao Rang joined the ranks of internationally renowned directors with this film, winning numerous awards, not to mention the impact the film had in China. After its release, the box office broke the history of Chinese-language films and exceeded the 3 billion mark!

Since Feng Nan's rebirth, she has been eyeing several movies that had good box office and reputation before her rebirth. However, apart from the initial successful investment in Zhang Jing'an's "Rescue Operation" and playing a role in it, the two scripts she later set her eyes on actually failed one after another!

First, "Devil" fell into the hands of Century Galaxy, and now the "About I Love You" that she had her eyes on also fell into the hands of Century Galaxy. She couldn't help but raised her voice and said:

"Why did it get given to Century Galaxy?"

Her tone immediately made Zhao Junhan look dissatisfied.

The two were just an engaged couple. Although Zhao Junhan and Feng Nan hit it off because Feng Nan was interested in entering the entertainment industry, he merged with her to open a Jiangnan Entertainment to show his sincerity and represent the cooperation between Jianghua Group and Zhongnan Industrial.

But deep down in Zhao Junhan's heart, he didn't really take Feng Nan to heart, otherwise he wouldn't have founded Changhe Pictures.

At best, Jiangnan Entertainment just took out a few million to accompany Feng Nan to have fun, to show it to the two parents and to promote the cooperation between Jianghua Group and Zhongnan Industrial.

It was okay to coax Feng Nan normally, but once she lost her temper with him, Zhao Junhan would be unhappy.

"Talking to me like that?"

He sneered, stood up, stared down at Feng Nan, and reached out to pinch her chin:

"It's just a movie. Is it worth your hassle? Forget it if it can't be made. As far as romantic art films are concerned, isn't Gu Jiaer more famous?"

He has made great progress since he decided to invest in the entertainment industry. His original impression of the entertainment industry was all kinds of beautiful female stars and young models, but he quickly began to understand the rules and ways of playing this industry.

Thanks to Feng Nan, in addition to well-known domestic directors, he also pays attention to some potential new directors and scripts. He has also heard about Gu Jiaer's new film "First Love Mood" that he is about to shoot:

"If you like it, just think of a way when the time comes."

"That's different!"

Feng Nan shook his head in annoyance. The box office performance of Gu Jiaer's "First Love" was just mediocre. Although the investors did not necessarily lose money in the end, there was nothing new. The online reviews were also average. At most, it was just a qualified love movie to kill time. It did not cause much sensation at all, not to mention compared with "About I Love You".

She didn't know how to explain this matter to Zhao Junhan. After two consecutive failures, she became a little wary.

She saw the disapproval on Zhao Junhan's face. She also saw the unhappiness in his eyes before. Feng Nan took a deep breath, secretly warned herself, suppressed her anger and anxiety, and asked calmly:

"Have you found out what happened?"

"The script of "Demon" was taken by Century Galaxy. Century Galaxy talked to Zhao Rang and he was very interested in the drama and was willing to take it on. Century Galaxy promised him that if the heroine of Zhao Rang's new drama was temporarily replaced, the director would appoint Zhao Rang when "Demon" was filmed in the future." (To be continued)
