Reshaping the landscape of the Chinese entertainment industry

From the initial draft of the script to preparation and filming, it took nearly half a year.

This is almost the normal time a film crew should need from start to finish.

However, during this regular period, He Yi'an experienced far more exciting things than other people and other film crews.

From being criticized to being boycotted, from being questioned to being besieged.

He experienced virtually every form of malice.

Fortunately, he got through it and just treated it as barking dogs.

However, the end of filming does not mean the end of the movie; the more important part is the post-production stage.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with the rest of the crew.

He Yi'an sealed all the film reels and that evening, he gathered the entire crew at a hotel in Tianjin for a wrap party.

At the banquet, toasts were exchanged frequently, and everyone took the initiative to offer He Yi'an a toast.

After filming for a while, the crew was basically convinced of his talent as a young director.

This is one of the key reasons why the crew was able to complete filming within the allotted time.

If the director can't have complete control over a film crew, it's all too easy for some ridiculous things to happen halfway through.

If someone with ulterior motives wants to sabotage you, they can easily cause the production crew to exceed their budget.

Fortunately, He Yi'an's film crew was assembled by himself, with the help of Mu Deyuan, Yu Feihong, Liu Guoquan, and others, and his father also helped with production.

The people chosen were all suitable, and nothing embarrassing happened.

This is why he is so respected.

At the banquet, Li Baotian was the first to stand up and offer a toast. Besides being very polite, he was, of course, more interested in making a good impression on him.

Very few film directors can find him, especially not such a good script.

He only hoped that He Yi'an would write good books in the future and not forget this old man.

After dealing with Li Baotian, Yan Danchen also came over with a wine glass in hand.

"Director He, thank you."

"Thank you for believing in me, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"The role of Chen Xiaoyu is the best role I have ever played."

It just goes to show that people these days are too easily satisfied.

However, considering Yan Danchen's future acting career, what she is saying now actually has a bit of a prophetic feel to it.

He Yi'an recalled that Yan Danchen was willing to play minor roles in anti-bandit and anti-Japanese war dramas, and did not cause any trouble or do anything else.

At most, he contributed some memorable scenes with distinctive clown characters.

What do you mean, "Widow, you can't take it..."?

These people can be easily found with a simple search on Baidu. They've practically become extras; the next step is for them to disappear from the public eye.

However, the main reason is that she is getting older, and it's good enough if she can get any roles. Also, she really treats acting as just a job.

He Yi'an's impression of her was not bad.

Moreover, not long ago, with his authorization, his mother, Xu Wan, changed the studio into Langyuan Media Company, preparing to make a major foray into the entertainment industry.

After all, the policies from above have already been released, and now is a good opportunity for full-scale expansion.

Since my own company will also produce TV series and some movies, why not sign a few suitable actors?

Since it's all about filming anyway, it's better to promote our own actors than to spend our own money promoting other people's actors.

After thinking for a moment, He Yi'an looked at her and said seriously, "Senior, opportunities are only for those who are prepared. Although I gave you an opportunity, you seized it yourself, so this is something you earned yourself."

Yan Danchen smiled, but as she smiled, tears began to fall.

She seemed to be recalling some unpleasant experiences she had had on other film sets.

Everything is relative; without witnessing darkness, how can one know what heaven is like?

Just as she was about to say something to express her gratitude, He Yi'an suddenly lowered his voice slightly:

"Senior, my own company will be venturing into television dramas and film production soon. If you're interested, you can sign your agency contract with my company. If not, don't worry, we can collaborate again in the future!"

Yan Danchen was taken aback when she heard this, but seeing that He Yi'an's expression was calm and he didn't seem to have any other intentions, she nodded.

"Director He, could you elaborate?"

He Yi'an shook his head: "My mom manages everything at the company. Here, I'll give you a phone number, and you can talk to her yourself!"

Yan Danchen's management contract has always been with the Beijing Film Studio Actors Troupe. This can't really be considered a management contract; it's more like a formal employment contract with no restrictions.

If she wanted, she could indeed sign a management contract with the company, but let Mom handle those matters.

Of course, He Yi'an didn't just send an invitation to Yan Danchen; he invited everyone in the crew he felt was suitable.

After Yan Danchen wrote down the phone number, Dong Yong, Chen Chuang, Xu Xiulin, Bai Han, and others came up, and she quietly stepped back...

Everyone came to offer a toast, and everyone said words of thanks.

Finally, there was Yu Feihong.

She was already sitting next to He Yi'an and had drunk some wine. Seeing that no one else was bothering her, she picked up her wine glass and said softly.

"Brother An, I learned a lot from filming with you this time, thank you very much."

Because we've spent so much time together and are quite familiar with each other's personalities, we speak much more casually than with other people.

"Angel? Senior, when did you give me a new name again?"

"Didn't you change your stage name to He Yi'an? What's wrong with calling you Brother An? Do you really want me to call you by your full name, Master He?" Yu Feihong rolled his eyes.

This nickname was something she had just come up with; it would both bring them closer and avoid making them feel distant.

"Alright, alright!" He Yi'an didn't want to argue about this. A name is just a title; people can call you whatever they want.

He went straight to the question that was most important to Yu Feihong: "Senior, you got to experience filming firsthand this time, and I even let you try being the cameraman. When are you planning to shoot your movie?"

Yu Feihong thought for a moment and said, "I want to wait a little longer. It was because you let me try that I realized there are still many things I don't understand."

"Then you'd better learn quickly, because my schedule is already full. Don't wait until you want to film and I don't have time, then I'll be sorry."

He Yi'an's tone was casual, but his words carried a hint of urging.

Through their interactions over this period, he came to understand Yu Feihong's personality: a perfectionist who would rather not do anything than feel he was not fully prepared.

It's impossible for He Yi'an to wait so long for just one movie.

Even with his revisions, the best version of this film would have been released before 07.

If we continue down this path, the costs will really increase dramatically, which won't be worthwhile.

In fact, according to He Yi'an's idea, it would have been best if it had appeared before 05.

Yu Feihong looked at him, her eyes filled with reproach: "You promised me you'd be there whenever I called, how come you're already going back on your word now that the movie's just finished filming?"

"No way! I just wanted to hurry things up, senior. This movie should be watched quickly!"

"Okay, I'll think about it some more." She raised her glass. "Let's clink glasses and have a drink. We made a promise, and it's a deal."

P.S.: I was originally planning to take a break today and only write two chapters as a transition, but judging from the number of monthly votes, I'll have to add an extra chapter~

An extra chapter for every 500 monthly votes~ Okay, I'll just keep asking for monthly votes and recommendation votes~
