"Really?" Zheng paused in surprise . He'd had no idea about that . "Was the film produced by a private company? Was it promoted nationwide? Are his films kid-friendly? Was he nominated by one of the three top Chinese film festivals?"
The girl felt utterly defeated .
After his victory, Director Zheng announced the end of the meeting in a loud voice . Some suck-ups wrote down his instructions in their notebooks .
"He is only after personal fame . His works have nothing to do with other people's lives or any national policies . Xiao Liu, send a notice to his firm about the result of the meeting . An informal one would be okay . I heard that he has a big firm . "
"Yes, most of his employees are models with international fame . Only Qin Guan is an actor, but everybody there is famous . "
"Even though he has such a large firm, he has only produced a few films over the past year, all of them overseas . He should follow the rules now that he's back in China . "
There were always people who tried to flatter directors . Soon, Qin Guan's firm received a notice from the SARFT . The notice was printed on a piece of paper in red ink . The secretary gave it to Sister Xue as soon as possible .
Sister Xue, who had been trying on wedding dresses designed by Yin, read the notice and burst into laughter .
"Just in time! Finally, an official document! I was afraid that domestic directors and producers would have forgotten about him after three months . SARFT is doing us a favor! Please put the dresses away, darling . Let's go to the China Film Group and grab some roles for Qin Guan!"
She was right . They had to get some roles for Qin Guan . Winter and early spring were a rush time for new scripts and films . Most actors would plan their schedule during that period .
Qin Guan had many scripts at hand, but dared not agree to any of them . His two awards in America had distracted him, so some directors had turned to other actors . Some good scripts had also not fit into Qin Guan's schedule .
Things were different now though . Thanks to this official support, Sister Xue was feeling much more confident . The Chinese language was rich and subtle in its expression . One could express two completely different meanings with the same words .
As a result, Sister Xue interpreted Director Zheng's demand that Qin Guan join the mainstream film circle as a government assignment .
When Director Yin Li was given the notice by an excited Sister Xue backstage, he was shocked .
"You found a connection for Qin Guan?"
"No, they issued this document especially for him . They said that the mainstream film circle is lacking talent, so Qin Guan got the job . What about the film we talked about before New Year's? Do you still need actors?"
"Of course! The China Film Group stressed this issue . We'll be cooperating with the Taiwanese . Have you read the script? It was adapted from a Taiwanese novel . If you don't want to commit to it, I'll have to find someone else . "
Sister Xue looked nervous, "Qin Guan will be returning in February . There's only a few days left . His schedule matches yours really well!" she said, waving the notice before Director Yin again .
Yin, who was an experienced mainstream film director, scratched his head helplessly before nodding . "Okay . He needs to audition as soon as he returns though . "
"What? He has to audition?"
Yin was always serious about work . He was no longer an easy-going man, but he gave the woman a fair lesson .
"I admire his acting skills, but most of his films were directed by foreigners . What if his acting is over-commercialized? What if he doesn't get along well with traditional Chinese filmmakers? What if he doesn't adapt to the hard environment of a Chinese film? What if he doesn't stay in China?"
"Could he portray a soldier, or can he only play ancient noblemen? All these questions are crucial for mainstream films . China Film Group was the cradle of the first Chinese film . It's still a state-owned company, unlike Fox, Dreamworks and Columbia . Talent can't solve everything in this case . "
"I care only about the role, not the actor . Nobody can sway me!"
Xue Wanyi showed her respect for the man, shocking Yin Changtao, who couldn't understand the current situation in China . In his opinion, the man with the glasses was definitely a warrior!
