Chapter 41 Movie Screening
After being woken up, Zhang Ruonan rested her head on Han Ziming's chest and murmured softly.
"I wish you would be by my side when I wake up in the future."
Han Ziming was silent for a few seconds. He knew that she had a deeper meaning in her words, but in the Chinese entertainment industry, how could he not look for other women?
"You know I can't guarantee that."
"Can't you just try to comfort me?"
"Can't I even tell a lie to make me happy for a moment?"
Zhang Ruonan looked up and said with a wronged expression.
Han Ziming smiled helplessly; girls are just so emotional.
"I told you I wouldn't lie to you. As long as you don't leave me, I won't give up on you."
He looked down at Zhang Ruonan, her beautiful face so close to his, her lively eyes and slightly trembling upper eyelashes.
Her breathing gradually became rapid. Then she pushed Han Ziming away, got up and sat on him, placed her hands on his chest, and looked at him with watery eyes.
"This is your punishment for disobeying!"
An hour later, after a yoga session, she collapsed weakly onto the bed.
Seeing that she was covered in sweat, Han Ziming helped her tidy up and covered her with a blanket to prevent her from catching a cold.
After half an hour,
Han Ziming had already eaten his lunch delivery and told Zhang Ruonan, who was still lying in bed, what he had done.
"I've put lunch on the table outside."
"Okay, let me lie down for a while longer. I don't want to move right now."
Zhang Ruonan replied listlessly.
"Serves you right for being so cocky just now."
Han Ziming looked smug.
Zhang Ruonan said through gritted teeth.
"You only got the upper hand this morning. I'll definitely beat you next time. Try being this good tonight!"
Han Ziming smiled dismissively.
"Heh, I've always been fierce, you never have a chance. Hasn't Kiwi arranged for you to do any promotions?"
Zhang Ruonan rolled her eyes at him.
"It's all arranged. I'll be on the variety show 'Happy Camp' tomorrow to promote the drama. My flight to Changsha is at 4 PM."
Han Ziming earnestly gave his instructions.
"I can't go with you to the variety show recording this time. If anything happens, remember to tell me. Don't get bullied. I'm heading out now."
Zhang Ruonan waved her hand.
"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy."
After hearing this, Han Ziming quickly went out.
He couldn't leave because there was a screening of the movie "Take My Brother Away" this afternoon.
Although this film is still under review,
However, there was nothing in the film that couldn't be broadcast, so Li Feng chose to review and watch the film at the same time.
At 2 PM,
Nearly twenty people had gathered in the China Film Group's screening room.
Everyone is waiting for the movie screening to begin.
Besides Han Ziming and Li Feng
There's also director Wen Muye, Director Huang of the Literature Department at Yanying Film Academy, and the rest are people from the major investors.
However, to Han Ziming's surprise,
Besides Mr. La from China Film Group, I was surprised to see two executives from Fiber Optic Media and Wanda Pictures also there.
For Han Ziming
They are now big shots.
-----------------
It turns out that about half an hour earlier, the staff from Fiber Optics and Wanda who came to watch the film screening heard from the China Film Group that Mr. La would also be attending the screening.
They sensed something was wrong.
Why would a big shot come to such a small project?
After multiple confirmations, the staff from Fiber Optics and Wanda reported the situation to their respective superiors.
Wang Changtian graduated from the Journalism Department of Fudan University in Shanghai. He founded Yanjing Fiber Optic Media Company in 1998 and is currently the company's chairman and general manager.
He was drinking tea in his office at the fiber optic company when he suddenly heard his secretary's report. After glancing at the information about the movie "Take My Brother Away," he muttered to himself...
"Isn't this just a youth campus drama?"
Something's not right!
Since he took over Fiber Optics, he has stood out among many film companies by making youth films. Although this script is well written, it doesn't seem like a blockbuster.
After all, the investment amount was limited, and there were no big stars who could carry the box office; the actors were all newcomers and nothing special.
However, Wang Changtian, still puzzled, smiled slightly and said thoughtfully:
Why would he care about this movie?
"Is there something I don't know?"
No, I have to go check what's going on.
Wanda's situation is similar.
Zeng Maojun is currently the Senior Vice President of Wanda Culture Group.
His positions include Director of AMC Theatres in the United States, Chairman of Five Continents Film Distribution Company, and in charge of Wanda Pictures business.
Since Ye Ning left Huayi, the current person in charge, Zeng Maojun, has become much more cautious.
After listening to his secretary's report, he narrowed his eyes and said softly.
"Something's not right. I have to go check it out. What if there's something good going on? This old guy usually only shows up for big projects."
-----------------
After Han Ziming and Li Feng arrived at the conference room, they sat directly next to Director Yan Ying.
After all, Huang Dan was the one who initially spearheaded the effort, so he was also involved.
Han Ziming said in a low voice, "Director Huang, why are the CEOs of Fiber Optics and Wanda here? Is it because of your connections?"
Huang Dan was speechless: "Connections my foot! If I were that good, why would I be a teacher? Before, when I made investments, I always talked to their managers."
At this moment, La Peikang and his secretary entered the screening room.
His gaze swept over the crowd, and to his surprise, Wang Changtian and Zeng Maojun were also there, so he teased them a bit.
"Mr. Wang, what brings you here today?"
"Hey, Mr. La, what a coincidence!"
"I'm under a lot of pressure to meet my sales targets, so I came to see a new movie to relax a bit."
Wang Changtian blatantly lied.
La Peikang was speechless at his excuse.
"If you're going to make an excuse, at least make one that's plausible!"
However, he stopped worrying about it and then looked at Zeng Maojun beside him, feeling that something was even more wrong.
"Mr. Zeng, your family is so wealthy and powerful. Today is already the 11th, and the movie 'The Great Wall' is going to be released in a few days. How come you still have time to come over and sit down?"
"Mr. La, you can't say that."
"China Film Group is also an investor in 'The Great Wall.' Since you're here, doesn't that mean 'The Great Wall' is fine?"
Zeng Maojun said with a smile.
La Peikang's eyes darted around, and he immediately understood.
"I see now. You all knew I was attending the screening and thought there was something good going on, so you came, right?"
Han Ziming was eating melon seeds nearby.
However, judging from what Boss La said, these two big shots misunderstood something and thought there was something good going on, which is why they came.
Han Ziming was speechless, never expecting that the person who brought all the big shots together for this small project was actually himself!
When Wang Changtian and Zeng Maojun heard what La Zong said, they exchanged a glance and both signaled to the other to continue La Peikang's words.
Seeing the two of them like this, La Peikang stopped teasing them and instead turned to face the crowd and said.
"Which one of you is Han Ziming?"
