The plane slowly landed at the Capital International Airport, Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu got off the plane and pushed their luggage to the airport hall. The two of them looked around and saw a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman chatting happily against the glass window.

The middle-aged man is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, holding a sign obliquely in his hand, which reads "Zhang Ran, Zhang Jingchu", which is Li Xiaowan and Chen Zhenghong.

Li Xiaowan is Zhang Jingchu's agent, Zhang Jingchu called her before coming back, she is quite normal here, but it is a little strange for Chen Zhenghong to appear here.

Zhang Ran pushed the gift over, said hello to Li Xiaowan, looked at Chen Zhenghong and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, why are you here to pick up people?"

Chen Zhenghong smiled: "I don't pick up others, I'm here to pick you up!"

Zhang Ran was stunned and touched his face: "Do I have that big face?"

Between the two of them, Li Xiaowan pulled Zhang Jingchu aside and complained: "Why did you only come back today, didn't you say that you would come back as soon as the film festival ended, Director Liu called and asked a few times!"

"That, it's all his fault!" Zhang Jingchu stretched out her hand to Zhang Ran and pointed at him, "Isn't he going to talk about business, a boss secretary is not much shabby, I pretend to be a secretary to support him for the façade!"

Zhang Ran rolled his eyes with disdain: "Hey, when do I need you to prop up the façade?" Obviously you want to go to Ginza to buy clothes, why do you blame me?"

The expression on Zhang Jingchu's face wrinkled: "I hate it, don't help me hide it!" She pulled Li Xiaowan's arm and said, "Sister Xiaowan, clothes in Tokyo are very cheap." Burberry is almost twice as cheap as in the country. I bought you a black label coat, which is particularly beautiful. Especially for you, you can try it in a moment!"

Li Xiaowan knew that buying clothes or something was an excuse. The other Zhang Jingchu wanted to stay with Zhang Ran for two more days, and scolded with a smile: "Dead girl, this is almost the same, if it doesn't fit, I won't spare you!"

Zhang Jingchu made a grimace at Zhang Ran, hating it, and then grabbed Li Xiaowan's arm and said, "The one I chose will definitely fit!"

After leaving the airport, Zhang Jingchu got into Rong Xinda's nanny car, and Zhang Ran got into Chen Zhenghong's car.

After the car starts. Chen Zhenghong put the steering wheel and asked, "Are you going back to school?"

Zhang Ran nodded: "Yes, school first." If you're okay, wait for me to put down my luggage and take you to visit the special effects studio, I have set up a special effects studio called Tiangong Chongcai!"

"Special effects studio?" Chen Zhenghong was very surprised, special effects are high-tech, and they can't be made with a little money. But after thinking about it, when Zhang Ran was filming "Time Prisoner", he organized people to do special effects, and he did a good job. It's not surprising to open a special effects studio, "When did you open?"

"It didn't open for long, just last month. The next movie will have a lot of special effects. It would be too expensive to ask a foreign team to do it entirely. What's more important is the development trend of special effects in future films, because I have a lot of plans to use this studio in the future. I put up this shelf first, and then slowly improved it. ”

"You think long-term. Chen Zhenghong admired Zhang Ran a lot, "The special effects in Hollywood movies are too powerful." There is no one in China yet, but there will definitely be more and more of them, and there will definitely be a lot to be done in establishing a special effects studio, which you think more often than others. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Zhenghong laughed, but he still had some regrets in his heart. He admires Zhang Ran very much, knows that this young man has an extraordinary future, and has always wanted to pull Zhang Ran into his camp and shoot a TV series with him. But now he has completely broken his thoughts, his temple is too small to invite a true god.

Although Zhang Ran can't be used for himself, Zhang Ran is his friend, and there will definitely be opportunities for cooperation in the future. Chen Zhenghong smiled and said: "I see that when your film was screened in Japan, the audience was crowded, and the newspapers said that the young director was proud, and it seems that the film should sell well?"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "I sold it for 1.6 million US dollars, 13 million yuan, and I made a little money after deducting the cost." ”

Chen Zhenghong calculated in his heart, 13 million, excluding the cost of 6 million, is 7 million. Coupled with domestic revenues, I'm afraid the earnings will exceed 10 million. More than making a TV series yourself!

Although he was a little envious, Chen Zhenghong still had no idea of getting involved in movies, and the risks of movies were too great. If Zhang Ran is the director, he would be willing, but where does Zhang Ran still need other people's investment: "I have something to do with you today, "Before Dawn" is almost done in the later stage, I am going to organize a viewing party and invite TV stations interested in "Before Dawn" to attend. We hope you'll be able to attend!"

Zhang Ran was stunned, he was willing to attend, but he didn't have time, he shook his head with a wry smile: "I'm afraid I won't be able to be there, I will organize our class to have a long-distance survival experience after the school, and then I will fly to the United States soon, and I don't have time at all." Besides, Mr. Zhang Jiandong is the director, I am the deputy, he just goes!"

In fact, Zhang Ran originally planned to take the students in his class to have a long-distance survival experience after the National Day, but Cao Bingkun had appendicitis surgery in September and needed to recuperate. This is a group activity, maybe only once in the whole university, Zhang Ran didn't want any student to be absent, so he postponed it.

Next, Zhang Ran has to go to the United States to complete the preliminary work of the movie, as well as the release of "Bursting Drummer", the pre-sale of the new film, the shooting of the movie, etc., there is no time at all. By the time these tasks are done, the student will be in his third year. When students enter the third year, they have to go out to take on the play, and they don't have time to do this training. So if you don't take students now, you really won't have time to take them in the future.

Hearing Zhang Ran's resignation, Chen Zhenghong was a little anxious, Zhang Ran is now popular, and having him present is definitely good for selling films, so he hurriedly said: "Teacher Zhang Jiandong will definitely be there, but you also get it, and now you are more popular than him." It doesn't take much time for you, just one day. It is said that the work is the director's child, and "Before Dawn" is your child, don't you want your child to be more expensive?"

Zhang Ran was very dissatisfied with Chen Zhenghong's statement, and said with a straight face: "Do I have such a beast? I even sell my own children!"

Chen Zhenghong laughed and said: "Slip of the tongue." It's always okay to marry your daughter, don't you want your daughter to marry a good family?"

In fact, Chen Zhenghong is right. Although "Before Dawn" is mainly complicated by Zhang Jiandong, it also has Zhang Ran's hard work. He stopped shirking and asked, "When and where?"

Chen Zhenghong said: "On the morning of the 13th, it will be held at the Sheraton Modu Hotel!"

Hearing that Zhang Ran laughed in the Demon Capital, he nodded and said, "Then it's no problem, I also happened to take the students in the class to have a survival experience in the Demon Capital." The 13th happens to be in the magic capital, which saves a lot of trouble!"

The car stopped at Huangtingzi Road, Zhang Ran went back to the teacher's dormitory to put down his luggage, and returned to the car. The car drove forward for a while. Arrived at Zhongguancun. Chen Zhenghong couldn't find a place, turned his head to Zhang Ran and asked, "How to go ahead?"

Zhang Ran glanced outside: "Turn left and drive two hundred meters ahead." ”

Soon, Chen Zhenghong parked his car in the underground parking lot of the office building, and the two got out of the car and walked towards the elevator with their feet raised. After entering the elevator, Zhang Ran pressed the third floor.

On the first floor, the elevator door opened, and a person walked in. Holding a book in his hand, Zhang Ran saw this person and immediately smiled and said, "Lao Chen, what kind of book are you reading like this?

Chen Ningyu's face was full of surprise when he saw Zhang Ran: "Zhang Ran." You're back. In the morning, Ning Hao also told me, why haven't you come back, did you have an affair in Japan? I can't get enough of it!"

"This stinky boy is so badly beaten, he dares to arrange me like this!" Zhang Ran smiled and shook his head. Turning his head to Chen Zhenghong, he said, "Brother Chen." Let me introduce to you, this is our school's teacher Chen Ningyu, who is also the person in charge of Tiangong Chongcai. Lao Chen, this is Mr. Chen Zhenghong of Dongyang Zhengyu, and the "Before Dawn" I filmed in the first half of the year was invested by Chen. ”

After listening to Zhang Ran's words, Chen Ningyu stretched out his hand to shake hands with Chen Zhenghong, and said with a smile: "Of course I know Mr. Chen, I can often see Mr. Chen's photos in the newspaper, but I have never had the opportunity to meet." We are a special effects company, Mr. Chen, you are a film and television company, I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future!"

"There must be a chance, Zhang Ran and I are old friends, and I will definitely look for you if I need it!" Chen Zhenghong naturally would not refuse, and said with a smile. Although the company is mainly shooting modern dramas and Republic of China dramas now, it is entirely possible to shoot mythological themes in the future, so special effects will be needed.

The elevator soon reached the third floor, and the three of them walked out of the elevator and walked a few steps to see the signboard of Tiangong Chongcai. A red seal, with the word "Tiangong" written on it with a small seal, is somewhat similar to the emblem of the Beiping Olympic Games in later generations. Now the emblem of the Olympic Games has not been released, and Chen Zhenghong has not seen it, but this logo is still bright in his eyes and feels very beautiful.

Chen Ningyu made a gesture of invitation to Chen Zhenghong sideways, and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, please inside!

The room is filled with dozens of computers, separated one by one, forming a private space. At this time, the staff of the studio are busy operating the equipment and concentrating on the production of special effects materials. The focused work made these employees not notice the arrival of Zhang Ran and the three. Seeing this scene, Zhang Ran nodded secretly, he likes people who are focused.

Zhang Ran walked up to the nearest special effects staff, glanced at the screen, and asked, "Is this a 3D model of Maple Leaf City?"

The special effects staff said "En", looked up and saw Zhang Ran, and shouted "Ah", then stood up and shouted in surprise: "Teacher Zhang, you are back!"

As soon as he shouted, everyone looked this way. The employees are basically Nortel graduates and students, and many of them have participated in the special effects production of "Time Prisoner" and are very familiar with Zhang Ran. At this moment, everyone stood up and applauded in unison. Everyone saw the grand occasion of the premiere of "Burst Drummer" in Tokyo, and the enthusiastic scene made everyone feel extra excited and feel excited.

"Okay, don't be polite with me!" Zhang Ran waved his hand to let everyone put down, then took a breath and announced loudly, "Many people know why I went to Tokyo, and now I can tell you the result, I met Luc Besson, signed the contract, and now he is the producer of our film!"

The whole scene was silent in an instant, and a huge cheer broke out in an instant, overwhelming.

Chen Zhenghong's ears were almost deafened, but what shocked him even more was the name Luc Besson, and he asked in a low voice: "The Luc Besson that Zhang Ran said can't be the Luc Besson who filmed "This Killer is Not Too Cold", right?"

Chen Ningyu saw the shock in Chen Zhenghong's eyes, and said proudly: "Is there a second Luc Besson?"

Chen Zhenghong was completely stunned, Luc Besson, the international director, Zhang Ran actually invited him, how did he do it? )
