Just out of Liu Qingfeng's office.
Su Yu saw a familiar figure approaching.
"Hey, Su Yu?" The other party also noticed him, first stunned, then his face lit up with joy.
"Producer Zheng, hello." Su Yu smiled slightly.
This person was Zheng Qi, the producer of the previous "Journey to the West" project team on Huashi Channel One, and also the head of the Film and Television Department. According to Su Yu's understanding, Zheng Qi had a high say in Huashi's Film and Television Department, otherwise he wouldn't have been put in charge of the filming of "Journey to the West."
"You've come at the right time. I was just about to contact you, and I didn't expect to meet you here. Shall we talk in my office?" Zheng Qi held his briefcase, his face beaming with a smile.
Su Yu was stunned by this.
What did this Zheng Qi want to talk to him about?
However, he didn't say much, but nodded and followed Zheng Qi towards his office. Da Feng Novel Network
A moment later.
The two walked into Zheng Qi's office one after another.
"The leadership has assigned me a filming task this time, and after much consideration, your team is the most suitable," Zheng Qi said, leading Su Yu to sit on the sofa, then got up and went to the desk to get a stack of documents.
"This is the project introduction. See if you're interested."
He handed the information to Su Yu.
Then he got up to pour Su Yu some water.
Su Yu took the document, opened the bag, and took out a stack of A4 papers.
"Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Movie Filming Plan?"
This was a document about movie filming.
The document mentioned shooting a poignant film about chronic myeloid leukemia to draw more attention from netizens to this group.
What surprised Su Yu even more was that this movie was not just a simple filming; it had deeper implications behind it.
"Guide public opinion, and the government will conduct negotiations for special drugs to be included in medical insurance?" He suddenly looked up at Zheng Qi.
Zheng Qi placed the disposable cup of water in front of Su Yu and said with a smile, "That's right. Actually, this project is deeply related to you."
"What does it have to do with me..." Su Yu was confused, but he suddenly thought of someone, and his eyebrows shot up.
"That's right, do you remember the song 'If I Become a Memory' from 'King of Love Songs'?" Zheng Qi sat down opposite Su Yu, took a sip of water, and continued, "Chen Feng, who shared his story with his girlfriend, became popular for a while. His girlfriend Xie Wen died of leukemia. This group also received widespread attention from society because of your song. In fact, we proposed the filming plan to the leadership at that time, but you know, we are an official organization and need to go through layers of procedures. Fortunately, the government also intends to negotiate for special drugs to be included in medical insurance, and now it has finally been decided."
Simply put, the government was preparing to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies to include special drugs for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia in medical insurance.
The price of special drugs is currently very high, costing tens of thousands a month, making it unaffordable for many ordinary people who can only wait for death. However, if it is included in medical insurance, after reimbursement by medical insurance, it will reach a level that ordinary people can afford.
"This is a good thing." Su Yu nodded seriously.
"However, it is very difficult to find a script that resonates with society. I personally feel that only you, Jiangnan, in China now has the ability to write it, so do you want to take on the challenge?" Zheng Qi looked at Su Yu with a smile, his tone filled with temptation. "If you succeed, your reputation in the Chinese film and television industry will be unmatched."
This was a matter of benefiting the nation, not just a simple filming.
If it succeeded and resonated with society, drawing more attention to the disease, the government's negotiations would have more confidence.
But the prerequisite was to make a movie that caused nationwide discussion and empathy, which was not simple.
It was no wonder Zheng Qi thought of Su Yu.
Jiangnan was undoubtedly the hottest screenwriter in China right now, and his team's reputation was also very good, so finding him was the most reliable method.
"It's very tempting." Su Yu took a sip of water.
"Of course, this is something countless screenwriters dream of, and I feel it should not be difficult for you," Zheng Qi continued to tempt him, but his eyes flickered, as if hiding something.
Su Yu looked up and smiled at Zheng Qi without speaking.
After a long time.
Zheng Qi finally surrendered.
"The situation is special this time, and the leadership has not allocated funds, but we also promise that all the box office revenue will belong to you, and we will cooperate with the promotion and publicity. Also, on some social issues, we will relax the review. As long as it's not too much, we'll give you a green light all the way."
Everything was good, except that there was no money to invest in filming, and the filming party had to bear all the risks.
It should be known that in the current film market, the most stable genres are youth romance and Xianxia, which are completely risk-free and can even make a lot of money by adding one or two popular stars.
Therefore, many film and television companies liked to make these kinds of movies.
Movies reflecting social issues were rarely made because, in the minds of the public, these types of movies were very boring. Moreover, if the acting was not good, the audience would have no resonance at all.
It was a thankless task.
This was why Zheng Qi was hesitant, because he knew the risks the movie faced. It might not only lose money, but if the response was poor, it might even affect the reputation that Su Yu's Jiangnan persona had painstakingly built.
But he couldn't find any other suitable screenwriters or teams, so he could only try his luck with Su Yu.
"I'll take it!" Su Yu took a deep breath.
"You really accepted it?" Zheng Qi was stunned first, then overjoyed.
"Of course, it's for contributing to society, and I've always been a positive energy person." Su Yu took a sip of water, then put away the document in front of him.
"Haha, indeed, whether it's Jiangnan or Tingyu, both are positive energy people. To be honest, I told my family that you are Jiangnan, but they didn't believe me at all and said I was sick, which made me feel bad... I'm really looking forward to the moment when your Jiangnan identity is exposed." Zheng Qi's mood improved after resolving this mess.
When he cooperated with Jiangnan on "Journey to the West" before, his family was also curious about Jiangnan's identity. Knowing that he had met Jiangnan, they all asked him who Jiangnan was.
Of course, when he mysteriously revealed that Jiangnan was Tingyu, no one believed him and thought he was joking or teasing them.
Because in the public's mind, although the music industry and film and television were both in the entertainment industry, they were also two completely different groups.
Moreover, there were many collaborations between Jiangnan and Tingyu. In fact, given Jiangnan's current identity, it was impossible to block the news. There had long been rumors online that Jiangnan was Tingyu, but these were like folk legends without any basis.
After this movie comes out, I'm afraid I'll be even more afraid to reveal myself... Su Yu thought to himself, then smiled and shook his head, "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving. As for the subsequent matters of the movie, it's the same as before, contact Xinghui."
"Okay, then I'll submit the documents." Zheng Qi nodded repeatedly.
"No problem." Su Yu said, then got up and left.
He came to Huashi this time and took on three businesses directly, all of which were "free" services. To be honest, this didn't fit Su Yu's style.
However, participating in the Spring Festival Gala was very necessary for him, and he was willing to take on this movie because he had a very suitable script and could also do good deeds and accumulate reputation, which was quite good.
