Chapter 40 The Film Review Meeting Begins

It was a very ordinary day and a very ordinary morning.

Vance Pictures Building, top floor.

Jiang Wang, who has hundreds of billions of capital and can shake the industry with a stomp of his foot, is conducting an intensive search for his daughter.

When I see bloggers and videos praising my daughter, I follow them and like them. When I see people slandering my daughter or spreading some negative news or scandals, I write them down in the small notebook at hand, and then randomly draw a lucky person and ban their account for a few days.

If you still don't know what's best for you, then I'll get rid of both the person and his account.

Don't doubt whether he has the ability. At his level, it just depends on whether he wants to do it.

"Director Jiang, Cheng Cheng is here, and he brought Director Dao Guan with him."

The secretary knocked on the door and walked in quietly.

Jiang Wang frowned: "Why are they here? At this time, shouldn't they be filming a movie in Yuanxing Province?"

The secretary said, "Cheng Cheng said they have finished filming and even the post-production. They brought the finished film to us for review today."

Jiang Wang glanced at the time on the table and asked uncertainly:
"Has it been a long time? Why do I remember it was only a month?"

The secretary said, "Yes, Mr. Jiang, Cheng Cheng signed the contract with us on July 7th, and today is August 10th, just 8 days have passed."

Jiang Wang frowned even deeper: "I don't really understand, is it considered fast to take 48 days from project establishment to completion for a movie?"

As the head of the second largest cinema chain in the country, Jiang Wang did not really not understand, he was just confirming this fact with his secretary.

"It's very fast. Normally, the production cycle of a movie will be much longer than this, because movie production involves many complex links, including script writing, casting, shooting, post-production, etc. Each link takes a lot of time and effort, and also needs to take into account various unpredictable factors, such as weather, shooting location, actor schedule, etc.", the secretary replied.

Obviously, she had made sufficient preparations before entering the office.

She continued: "Many films take more than 48 days to prepare for the pre-production stage. Generally speaking, a medium-sized film may take several months to a year to complete. The shooting stage usually takes several weeks to months, while the post-production stage may take several months to a year. For example, Director Cai Shen may take two or three years to complete a film."

Jiang Wang's tone had turned hostile: "So, this is likely to be a bad movie?"

The secretary gave an affirmative answer and said:

"Yes, generally speaking, 48 days to complete the filming and post-production of a movie can be considered a relatively tight schedule, especially for a movie with a budget of million. Under such a time limit, there may not be enough time to polish and perfect it, and it may even lead to some sacrifices in the plot."

"very good!"

Jiang Wang was already angry.

The reason for his anger was not because Cheng Cheng made the movie in a shoddy way. After all, he hadn't paid for the movie yet, so what did it have to do with him? Anyway, the compensation wasn't for him.

He was angry because Cheng Cheng dared to let his daughter down!

Nan Nan had never cooked for him before, and the first time she cooked for him was for Cheng Cheng. She also made a promise to him on behalf of Cheng Cheng, promising that this movie would definitely make money for him and that it would be worth it and very profitable.

But what about Cheng Cheng?
It took only 48 days to rush out a movie, without any sincerity, as if it were a child's play. How sad would Nan Nan be if she knew about this?
My daughter can gradually distance herself from you after she meets more high-quality men, but you cannot let my daughter get hurt!

Jiang Wang stood up suddenly, his eyes were sharp, and he said:

"Well, since he's here, take me to meet this great talent!"

Before walking out the door, he ordered: "By the way, call the film reviewers as well, call a few more, so that they can watch the masterpiece of this great talent together." The secretary understood and quickly gave the order.

-

Soon, everyone had gathered in an inner theater.

After meeting Cheng Cheng and Beret, Jiang Wang naturally didn't give them a good look. This made Beret worried and confused:

What's happening here?
Cheng Cheng, on the other hand, was quite calm. When he heard that he would be reviewing the film in an internal theater, he even rushed to the store outside to buy some popcorn, a few bottles of happy water, and some snacks.

Cheng Cheng looked at Jiang Wang, the handsome old man: "Mr. Jiang, I bought a few more specially, do you want to eat them?"

Jiang Wang gave Cheng Cheng a cold look and ignored him.

The secretary stepped forward and said, "Director Cheng, please return to your seat. The film review meeting will begin soon."

"Also," she looked at the snacks in Cheng Cheng's bag and reminded him, "Please remain quiet and serious during the film review."

Cheng Cheng was frustrated and a little annoyed:
Even if you don't like this brand of popcorn and happy water, there's no need to be as indifferent as the passers-by on the train in a porn movie, right?

Forget it, he is Jiang Nan's father after all. When we meet, I'll ask Jiang Nan what brand he likes to eat.

Back to their seats, Cheng Cheng and Beret sat together. Beret was a little nervous and was sweating.

Cheng Cheng asked: "Director Dao, are you nervous?"

Beret said: "I am a little nervous."

How can he not be nervous when the big boss is here? If the big boss is not satisfied, he may lose his job!
Cheng Cheng asked, "Why are you so nervous? Are you still worried about the quality of our film?"

Beret took a breath and said, "That's true."

Listening to their conversation, the film reviewers around them sneered in their hearts.

Before they came, they had already received instructions from the secretary of the board that after the film review was over, they must use a stern attitude and the most critical words to do their best to insult Cheng Cheng and to reduce him to the dust without leaving any room for him.

This seems too easy to them!

Especially since Cheng Cheng is a new director from another industry, and they were more relieved when they learned that it only took 48 days from project initiation to post-production of this film.

What's so difficult about this?

Needless to say, this movie must be terrible. It can't even be called a complete film. Can a newcomer make a decent film? And it only took 48 days?
Definitely not!
Just tell the truth!
They may even have already made up their minds about what they think is a shame for the film, a piece of shit, and a rape of the eyes.

Soon, the movie started showing, and the first thing that appeared was the logo of a film company:

Several black silhouettes of people break away from the ink painting. These black silhouettes are different. Some are waving sticks, some are leading dogs, some have three heads and six arms, and some are wearing colorful clothes and running towards the moon. Finally, these silhouettes come together to form the word "myth".

Myth Films!

Some reviewers have already criticized this logo:
What is all this?
I don’t understand, what the hell is this!
