Coming out of Zhongnanhai, Zhang Ran drove to the headquarters of the peak of the century. Halfway through, Zhang Ran received a call from Liu Dali, director of the Zhijiang Provincial Radio and Television Bureau, who is also the director of the Office of the Organizing Committee of the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival. Liu Dali told Zhang Ran on the phone that the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival failed to pass the approval of the General Administration.

In 05, the Propaganda Department promulgated the "Measures for the Administration of National Literary and Art Press and Publication Awards", which focused on the rectification of national awards, requiring the reduction or prohibition of various award activities in the film industry. After the promulgation of this document, many film awards have been canceled, even the Directors Guild Award has been canceled, and the Golden Rooster Awards, which were originally held once a year, have been forced to be held once every two years.

The Peking Film Festival is jointly organized by the Beiping Municipal Government and the General Bureau, and the relationship is not ordinary, and it still can't get the approval, so it's not surprising that the Lin'an Fantasy Film Festival can't get the approval, and Zhang Ran never thought that he could get the approval at one time.

However, because he had just participated in the symposium, Zhang Ran felt that the possibility of holding a fantasy film festival was greatly enhanced, because the country hopes to promote the leapfrog development of China's film industry and realize the historic transformation from a film country to a film power; to build China into a film power, it is necessary to develop heavy industry films, and the fantasy film festival is a heavy industry film festival based on science fiction and magic, which can promote the development of China's heavy industry films, and then promote the upgrading of the entire film industry, and the fantasy film festival is simply a positive response to the national strategy.

Zhang Ran briefly talked about the symposium, and the other party laughed when he heard it, knowing that after the "Guiding Opinions" was promulgated, he should have the opportunity to get the approval before applying for the film festival.

On November 18, Zhang Ran took a plane to Lin'an to prepare for the signing of the film and television base that was about to settle in Lin'an.

After arriving in Lin'an, Zhang Ran barely rested, and met with the secretary of the provincial party committee and the governor of the province for a brief meeting.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the governor of Zhijiang Province led the Provincial Development and Reform Commission, the Land Department, the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Provincial Tourism Bureau, and the main leaders of the city and district to attend the report meeting on the plan of the Century Summit Film and Television Base presided over by the Secretary of the Lin'an Municipal Party Committee. Zhang Ran personally introduced the format of the plan and the scale of investment to the provincial and municipal leaders, and the plan for the entire film and television base at the peak of the century is 40 square kilometers, but this time it is only a part of the entire plan, covering an area of 20 square kilometers.

Zhang Ran's plan is too huge, covering an area of 40 square kilometers, and it is quite difficult to pass the State Council's review. In order to reduce the risk of approval, the Zhijiang Provincial Government put forward a plan to plan a film and television industry demonstration zone in Fuyang, with a total planning area of 100 square kilometers, and plans to build it into the largest film and television cultural industry gathering area in the country.

In the center of this 100-square-kilometer film and television industry demonstration zone, the provincial government has set aside a 50-square-kilometer piece of land to prepare for the peak of the century; at the same time, the provincial government suggested that the peak of the century should split the film and television base into different projects, the theme park should be declared separately as a project, the film and television base should be declared separately as a project, and other projects should also be applied for step by step, so that the resistance will be much smaller.

Century Summit has declared two projects this year, one is the theme park "Summit Park" covering an area of 10 square kilometers, and the other is the film and television base "Century Film Capital" covering an area of 20 square kilometers.

Due to the wave of building theme parks in China in recent years, the state found that most of the investment companies are in the name of theme parks to acquire land at a low price, and then require the local government to approve the relevant residential and commercial real estate in the surrounding area as additional compensation, so the country's approval of theme parks has slowed down.

While the theme park was blocked, the declaration of the film and television base was particularly smooth. Soon after Zhang Ran submitted the report of the Century Film Metropolis to the Development and Reform Commission of the State Council, the State Council issued the "Cultural Industry Revitalization Plan", which raised the development of the cultural industry to the national strategic height, one of which is to speed up the construction of cultural industry parks and bases, build a number of regional cultural product logistics centers that radiate the whole country, build a number of cultural creativity, film and television production, performing arts and entertainment and animation and other industrial demonstration bases, and support and accelerate the development of cultural industry clusters with regional and national characteristics.

The country originally wanted to speed up the construction of cultural industry parks and build a number of demonstration bases for cultural industries, and Zhang Ran's "Century Film Capital" is particularly in line with the requirements of the country, and can drive the upgrading of the film and television industry, which is simply a model project that the country dreams of, so the National Development and Reform Commission passed the approval with a stroke of the pen.

At 10 a.m. on November 21, 2010, Century Summit, the provincial government and the municipal government held a grand signing ceremony at the Zhijiang Hotel to settle the large-scale film and television industry base "Century Film Capital" project in Fuyang District, Lin'an.

In the conference hall on the third floor of Zhijiang Hotel, it is very lively, which can be described as full of friends and guests. The main leaders of the provincial and municipal units in charge were all present, and the leaders of Fuyang District were all present.

Of course, on occasions like this, reporters are indispensable, and this kind of signing ceremony often invites a large number of reporters to the scene, and the whole scene is full of long guns and short guns. However, there were not many reporters at today's signing ceremony, only a few reporters from local TV stations and newspapers in Lin'an, and reporters from places such as Beiping and Modu did not appear. It's not that they don't want to come, it's that they don't even know that there is such a signing ceremony.

Zhang Ran hoped that the signing ceremony of the Century Film Metropolis would be low-key, and that when the launching ceremony was held ten days later, it would make a stunning appearance in front of the whole world; therefore, except for the reporters from the propaganda department of the provincial party committee, the other reporters did not give notice.

The signing ceremony was presided over by Wang Feng, Secretary-General of Zhijiang Provincial Government, and Wu Ruide, Vice Governor of Zhijiang Province and CEO of Century Summit, signed the contract on behalf of both parties. Because the terms of the contract have been negotiated in advance, there is no objection from both parties, and the signing is a situation, and the whole signing ceremony went smoothly.

After the signing was completed, the leaders and the signing representatives present took a group photo, lined up in two rows, with the leaders standing in the front row and the signing representatives standing in the back row. Although Zhang Ran is not a leader, he is the boss of the peak of the century, so he naturally stands in the front row and stands with the governor.

After the group photo, there was a speech session, first the provincial and municipal leaders delivered a speech, and then it was Zhang Ran's turn.

In the warm applause, Zhang Ran walked on the stage and said with a smile: "Before the project of Century Film Capital was officially settled in Lin'an, we received invitations from many cities, but Lin'an has always been the first choice in my heart. This is not hindsight, to support such a world-class film and television base, we need enough high-end talents, and at the same time we must have a sufficiently developed film and television industry base, so as to form a cluster of film industry. Film and television tourism is a world-class film and television base with professional functions and aggregation, producing top movies and sailing with Chinese films. We believe that the future of world cinema is in China, and the future of Chinese cinema lies in Zhijiang and Lin'an! Thank you!"

The signing ceremony was brief, officially ending at almost half past eleven.

In the evening, Zhijiang News reported on the signing ceremony, but it was relatively brief, did not disclose specific information, nor did it disclose how much investment was made in the project, just like reporting an ordinary film and television news; the next day, various newspapers in Zhijiang Province also reported the news in a very brief way.

The media did not disclose how much the entire project of Century Film Capital was invested, and the way of reporting was extremely brief, so it did not attract much attention, except for Zhang Ran's fans who exclaimed in the post bar "The boss has signed a contract again", ordinary netizens are not very concerned about this matter. In the past two years, too many film and television bases have been built in China, which is really not unusual, and everyone is not interested in it.

After signing the contract in Lin'an, Zhang Ran did not return to Beiping, but stayed in Lin'an to prepare for the launching ceremony more than ten days later. This launching ceremony is an appearance of the Century Film Capital to the whole world, and when the global media gathers, if something goes wrong, it will be tantamount to being embarrassed in front of the whole world. Therefore, the launching ceremony can only succeed, not fail.

The launching ceremony will hold two red carpet shows in one day, one at the site during the day and one in the city at night, and both shows will be set up on the stage and carefully organized. The exhibition center at the launching ceremony, tens of thousands of square meters of special-shaped buildings, the technology is very complex, as well as all aspects of the work such as hotel reception and guest invitation, and no work can be missed.

In order to ensure the success of the launching ceremony, Zhang Ran took out the attitude of paying close attention to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games to grasp the preparations for the launching ceremony. From the venue of the ceremony, the list of guests, to the dress of the spectators, the gifts of the participants, etc., Zhang Ran will personally ask about it.

On the morning of November 29, the official website of Century Summit and the main media in Zhijiang Province published a message: "On December 1, the world's largest film and television industry project built by Century Summit - Lin'an 'Century Film and Television City' Film and Television Industrial Park will hold a grand launching ceremony. Senior leaders and VIPs from the General Administration, the Film Bureau, the Lin'an Municipal Government, the China Film Association, Sony Pictures, Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, Paramount, Fox Films, and Lionsgate will attend the event. International superstars Tom Cruise, Leonardo, Robert De Niro, Matt Damon, Charlize Theron, Scarlett Johansson, etc., as well as 20 A-list stars such as Chinese movie stars Zhang Ziyi, Tony Leung, Fan Binbin, etc., all attended the event to stage a star-studded red carpet show! CCTV will broadcast live, and global superstars will come to An'an to gather with you!

Whether it is media reporters or netizens, they are stunned by this news, and they all have the feeling of being blinded by the names of that list of superstars, and almost everyone has the same sentence in their hearts, the peak of the century is blowing up the sky!

Almost at the same time, reporters from major domestic newspapers rushed into the editor-in-chief's office, all saying the same sentence: "Editor-in-chief, send me to Lin'an tomorrow!"

At the same time, netizens on the Internet have exploded, and everyone is discussing this red carpet list and discussing the Hollywood superstars on the list.

Among them, the most eye-catching are undoubtedly Tom Cruise and Leonardo, they are one of the most popular and top superstars in Hollywood, and now they have entered the launching ceremony of the peak of the century, and the star-studded level of this red carpet is simply too rebellious!

"This list, the bunker! The pinnacle of the century is really high-end and domineering!"

"The star lineup has exploded the three major domestic film festivals!"

"This list is too fake, some people can't be invited to the peak of the century!"

"This is released on the official website of the pinnacle of the century, do you say please don't move? I'll tell you, as long as Zhang Ran wants to please, no Hollywood star will not move!"

This Nima is not only a personal commercial activity at the peak of the century, but also has the official support of the Film Bureau, which is simply a high-level exchange meeting between China and the United States film projects, which is amazing!"
