The only sun in Huayu

Chapter 8: Deal Done! (Fourth update, 10,000 words)
Shen Shandeng's mentor, Yu Jianhong, was shocked!

The student greeted him and then continued talking on the phone.

They address him as "General Manager Geng" here, and "Manager" there.

The phone kept ringing.

Shen Shandeng had no choice; some calls were simply too difficult to refuse.

The sounds coming from the corridor gave Yu Jianhong a vague idea of ​​who was on the other end of the phone.

One is Geng Yuejin, head of distribution at Huayi Media, and the other is Berna Production Manager.

No?

what happened?
Yu Jianhong's eyes were filled with disbelief.

As his mentor, he knew that Shen Shandeng had a project, and after learning about it briefly, he lost interest.

A movie worth 100 million?
Yu Jianhong could only say that his students were really carefree.

He helped publish the article in the China Film Market magazine.

After all, Shen Shandeng himself has the ability.

In the summer of 03, Shen Shandeng suddenly appeared and dominated the newly released Baidu MP3 chart.

The hundreds of millions of searches shocked the world.

"Gray Avatar", "Superfluous Explanation", "Lemon", "Proud Youth", "Give Me a Song's Time", "The Light Chaser", "Let's Not Be Friends Anymore".
This disciple is talented, but that talent lies in music.

Can filmmakers also be talented?

Yu Jianhong looked at Zhou Qifeng.

"Teacher, don't look at me like that!" Zhou Qifeng was startled.

Old Yu's expression was terrifying.

Curious, Yu Jianhong handed his disciple a glass of water: "Tell me, what's going on between you and your senior brother?"

Zhou Qifeng quickly explained what had happened.

"Ok?"

Yu Jianhong found it hard to understand: "You met with President Han, introduced the project, then your senior colleague played a song, and President Han listened to it three times in a row. He then postponed his subsequent schedule, had lunch with you, and even had a private chat with you in his office."

This sounds reasonable, but it doesn't make any sense no matter how you look at it!
He had Han Sanping under his thumb after just one meeting.

Is Shen Shandeng the same person as Tang Sanzang?
"Please play that song for a moment."

Yu Jianhong grasped the key point: Shen Shandeng's greatest strength was his musical talent.

The turning point was that song.

Zhou Qifeng said apologetically, "That song was taken by President Han's secretary."

"hiss!"

Yu Jianhong gasped.

The secretary's actions are the leader's responsibility.

It was obviously for Han Sanping.

There's no need to listen to songs anymore; this student of mine is something else!
After finishing the call, Shen Shandeng apologized to his mentor: "Teacher, I'm sorry, I don't know where Hua Yi and Berna got the information from."

Yu Jianhong told Shen Shandeng not to stand on ceremony: "Shandeng, you've kept this from your teacher for so long!"

Shen Shandeng quickly said, "Teacher, please call me Xiao Shen."

Yu Jianhong nodded to himself: "Xiao Shen, maybe the teacher will need you to save face in the future."

Yu Jianhong advised: "Xiao Shen, you should focus on your film career. President Han has high hopes for you, so you must work hard and not let him down."

"As for academics, there's not much I can teach you. You've already studied cultural industries, film and television industry management, and film production technology in your major."

"Your teacher will help you with attendance and assignments. You're not just doing this for yourself, but also for the future of Chinese cinema. You need to follow in Mr. Han's footsteps."

Shen Shandeng was deeply moved.

The mentor is giving their full support.

Not only did they offer their full support, but they also reminded him of the most important point: to keep up with Han Sanping's pace.

Whether it's the production department leaders, or Huayi and Bona.

The reason he was easy to talk to and approached was not because he was capable, but because he had won the favor of Director Han.

Therefore, even if Han Sanping were to dump him now, he would still cling to him tightly.

These are invaluable words of advice; they pinpoint the key point.

Having lived two lives, how could Shen Shandeng not understand!

Shen Shandeng promised, "Teacher, I will remember your words and will definitely contribute my efforts to the film industry and help the factory director solve his problems."

Factory director?

That title!
Yu Jianhong was surprised but also very satisfied; Shen Shandeng hadn't gotten carried away and had taken her advice.

This student is going to be something special in the future.

Whether it was due to my own understanding or my natural talent, I grasped the key point immediately.

Yu Jianhong said, "Don't rush. Here's what we'll do: as the saying goes, theory must be combined with practice, Xiao Zhou."

Zhou Qifeng snapped to attention: "Yes, teacher."

Yu Jianhong said, "From now on, you will follow your senior brother. Attendance and research topics will be handled by the teacher. Film management will be carried out in practice." Yu Jianhong had a feeling that she might have to rely on Shen Shandeng, her student, in the future.

There's a saying that goes, "For the first thirty years, you see how the father respects the son; for the next thirty years, you see how the son respects the father."

Conversely, if a "filial son" appears, he will not find peace even after death.

Those who valued their reputation in life might suffer disgrace and ruin if they encounter this.

Students are certainly not sons, but there are exceptions. Students who inherit his scholarship and connections are no different from sons, and may even be closer.

After more than a year of getting to know Shen Shandeng, Yu Jianhong had become quite familiar with his personality.

A civil engineering major, during university, while maintaining an all-A GPA, he taught himself music composition and scriptwriting, and also created a large number of popular songs through the internet.

Then he turned to the arts and literature, and took the entrance exam for his graduate program as a celebrity student.

Besides my major, I spent a year and a half learning everything from directing, cinematography, sound recording, editing, music composition, and even acting—all the undergraduate-level subjects.

A giant in action, with exceptional execution capabilities.

Today, Shen Shandeng has once again broadened his understanding.

Regardless of whether the "Brotherhood of Blades" project comes to fruition or not, its future is definitely promising.

Therefore, Yu Jianhong formally handed Zhou Qifeng over to Shen Shandeng. Shen Shandeng wanted to keep a firm grip on Han Sanping, and of course, he also wanted to keep his student firmly under control.

Yu Jianhong instructed: "Xiao Zhou, from now on, your senior brother's words are your teacher's words. Listen more, do more, and talk less."

Shen Shandeng patted Zhou Qifeng on the shoulder: "Don't worry, teacher, I will definitely train my junior brother's abilities well."

Zhou Qifeng felt that the burden on his shoulders had become heavier!

With the support of his teacher, Shen Shandeng devoted himself wholeheartedly to the planning and development of "Brotherhood of Blades".

Although that wasn't the purpose, we had to go all out with the act.

Since it originated from "Brotherhood of Blades", we must closely follow this project.

back home.

Da Mimi was sprawled out on the sofa. Upon seeing Shen Shandeng, she perked up from her lazy state: "How was your day? Did you see Third Master?"

Shen Shandeng looked troubled: "What is President Han's status? He only showed up once."

This project is only in its initial stages, so it definitely needs to be kept secret.

As for Hua Yi and Berna knowing, that's because their circle is high-class.

The speed at which you learn about a meeting is a useful tip for assessing the strength of a circle.

Shen Shandeng had heard a joke in his previous life, but it was just a joke.

At a relatively important meeting in a certain city, a company was mentioned by name. After the meeting, the company's owner asked the leader who chaired the meeting for instructions.

The attitude was humble, and the self-criticism was profound, but the methods were very harsh.

It's like telling the relevant personnel, "I have people among you, so be careful."

The fact that Da Mimi didn't know she had passed the initial review means that her company, Rongxinda, is on the fringes of the film industry, or rather, the theatrical film industry.

If I know any news, I'll definitely have Yang Mi try to find out what's going on.

Yang Mi didn't take it seriously: "The film industry is very closed off. There's no chance to rise to the top overnight. Why don't you do what Zhou Jielun did and make a fan film?"

Film resources have always been the exclusive domain of a few circles, and then distributed on the periphery. Her company doesn't have much access to film resources either.

Shen Shandeng was moved: "Mimi, you're so kind."

Da Mimi immediately became alert. Shen Shandeng's attitude clearly indicated that he was up to no good.

I shut myself off.

"Don't come over here!"

Shen Shandeng was speechless. What did they think of him?

He just felt a little guilty.

There's no other way; if you want things to get done, you have to keep your mouth shut.

1 month 11 day.

A week later, China Film Group held an expanded meeting to discuss the approval process for the "Brotherhood of Blades" project.

Compared to the previous small-scale meetings, which were mostly attended by Han Sanping's close associates, this time more powerful forces were involved.

Shen Shandeng clearly felt the pressure.

Some people wanted to interfere, some wanted to replace Shen Shandeng directly, and some wanted to make money.

1 month 16 day.

At the second project approval meeting, Shen Shandeng said that all the money would be used for the film and that no Hong Kong or Taiwanese stars would be invited.

This sparked an even greater wave of opposition.

After fully expressing his opinions, Han Sanping called Shen Shandeng to his office: "Their idea is to release a small-to-medium-sized film first, since there haven't been any theatrical releases yet."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Shandeng nodded emphatically, having been waiting for these words: "Okay!"

Han Sanping was stunned for a moment, and then he broke down a bit.

　The recommendations are gone. I wasted over twenty days, so I have to update intensively to catch up. I'm back to normal now, so I'm doing my best. Please continue reading! Rewriting this will significantly reduce readership.
