"Boss, rest assured!"
"Your ideas, I will do my utmost to implement them!"
"Whether it can save society or change the Dragon Country film industry, I don't know, but at the very least, I can guarantee that 'Wandering Blue Star' will be worthy of the audience, and worthy of you!"
Standing up and making a passionate commitment to Qin Xuan, Guo Fan poured himself a glass of white wine and downed it in one gulp.
Before meeting Qin Xuan, he didn't really have any grand ambitions.
Making a movie he liked, a good movie that Dragon Country didn't have, was enough.
As for the Dragon Country film industry or public opinion, they had no impact on him.
Whether they were good or bad had nothing to do with him, as long as they didn't interfere with his filmmaking.
But when Guo Fan heard Qin Xuan's ideas and goals, his mindset gradually changed with Qin Xuan's narration.
He wouldn't set changing society as his own goal, because it was unrealistic, and he couldn't achieve it on his own.
But Guo Fan still changed his goal.
From making a good movie that he liked and the film industry didn't have, to making a "triple-satisfied" good movie that satisfied the boss, satisfied the audience, and satisfied himself.
Since he didn't have to worry about box office or costs, all he had to do was contribute to his boss's dream!
After three rounds of wine, the dishes…
The dishes were taken to be reheated.
Guo Fan and Xiao Song's understanding of Qin Xuan deepened further.
When they learned that he wasn't a rich second generation from the start but had become wealthy gradually, their admiration for Qin Xuan reached its peak.
They truly admired his spirit of not just indulging in personal pleasure after becoming rich, but genuinely wanting to change things he couldn't stand.
If they were suddenly rich, they honestly felt they couldn't do the same.
The meal finally lasted another two hours. During the meal, Guo Fan also revealed his ideal choices for each role.
Andy Lau, candidate for the lead.
Wu Jing, candidate for the lead.
Uncle Da, candidate for a supporting role.
Wu Gang, candidate for a supporting role.
And so on.
Qin Xuan agreed, thinking it was fine.
His generation had grown up watching these people's films.
If these actors couldn't represent the excellent actors in his heart, then perhaps very few others could meet his requirements.
"Great! As long as the boss is satisfied."
"These people will all be attending tonight's awards ceremony."
"I'll go find them one by one to discuss in detail at the final dinner!"
"By the way, boss, this awards ceremony has decent influence, and most directors and actors from the mainland will also attend."
"You said you were planning to expand Tianlong Film Industry's scale, right? Do you want to personally scout for outstanding talents there?"
"I'm going to the awards ceremony too?"
Hearing Guo Fan's suggestion, Qin Xuan's heart stirred.
As Guo Fan said, Tianlong Film Industry needed to expand its scale and sign more artists and directors.
His attendance this time could indeed allow him to connect with some veteran actors he admired.
As for directors, Qin Xuan wasn't very familiar with them.
But he could ask those veteran actors and Guo Fan to recommend some to him.
They had been in the film and television industry for decades and would definitely have their own unique understanding of these directors.
Moreover…
Ever since Liu Qing's incident yesterday, Qin Xuan had been trying to contact Li Qingwan, who helped him attract fans' attention.
But he still hadn't managed to contact her successfully.
Perhaps he could even run into her at the awards ceremony today.
"Alright, then we'll go together tonight."
Having made up his mind, Qin Xuan immediately transferred five hundred million Dragon Coins to Guo Fan from his special private account.
The corporate funds for Tianlong hadn't arrived yet, so he would use the profits from his mines to cover it for now.
Once Qin Yifei and Mike completed their dealings with Tianlong, they could directly proceed with subsequent operations from the company account.
"One, two, three, four, five…"
"Nine zeros?!"
"Five hundred million Dragon Coins?!"
Seeing the funds suddenly appear in his corporate account, Guo Fan jumped up from his seat.
And when he heard that this was for him to hire actors and for preliminary preparations, his heart couldn't stop pounding.
After all, simply talking about it and actually receiving the money were two completely different concepts.
The former might only lead to excitement and emotion, which would then pass.
But the latter was truly seeing the money land in reality!
That feeling was incredibly thrilling!
More thrilling than topping the honor roll or the wedding night!
And most importantly, Qin Xuan said this was just for initial preparations.
As for subsequent CG special effects and post-editing, as long as the money wasn't enough, he could continue to apply to the company for more, with no upper limit!
This completely stunned Guo Fan, who had been planning to make a sci-fi film on a small budget.
In his many years as a film director, this was the first time he had such a lavish budget.
He had so much money that he didn't know how to spend it all at once!
However, despite his excitement, Guo Fan remained clear-headed.
He knew that every cent of this money represented his boss's trust in him.
Therefore, no matter what, he had to spend every penny where it mattered most!
The three of them left the hotel around four in the afternoon.
As the Dragon Country Best Film Awards ceremony was about to begin, they didn't delay and took a taxi directly to the venue.
Upon arrival, all invited guests had to walk the red carpet and leave their signatures.
Guo Fan was also somewhat famous, so he was no exception.
Having just received five hundred million in investment, he was full of confidence. The way he held his head high and waved to the media even had the demeanor of a renowned director.
Qin Xuan was not from the industry, so he couldn't enter the venue with Guo Fan.
However, Xiao Song and the others had a dedicated staff entrance.
After obtaining a temporary staff pass, he entered the venue with Xiao Song.
The venue hall was also very lively at this time.
Directors and actors greeted each other, creating a harmonious scene.
Qin Xuan actually recognized most of these people.
Veteran actors from the mainland like Li Youbin and Wu Gang.
Famous directors like Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang.
Of course, there were also many well-known and excellent artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, and so on.
However, there were also many people Qin Xuan didn't recognize.
For example, the female celebrity next to Zhang Yimou, and the few young boys brought by Feng Xiaogang.
These people held their phones and behaved casually. kuAiδugg
They showed no respect to the seniors in the film and television industry.
"If you want to chat, then chat among yourselves. Don't disturb me playing on my phone," they seemed to imply, acting as they pleased.
With such artists and actors, Qin Xuan found it hard to believe they could produce anything good.
As more people filled the hall, the venue doors slowly opened to everyone.
Qin Xuan, along with Xiao Song, waited near the staff area for entry.
And before entering, Qin Xuan finally saw Li Qingwan, whom he had been worried about.
However, her current state was also very poor.
Her usual elegant demeanor had largely faded, and fatigue and worry had crept onto her brows.
It seemed she had also had a very difficult time these past two days.
