Chapter 359 sets a new Chinese box office record of 31 billion RMB.

“In the Name of People” is about to become a hit.

These days.

Chen Cheng was also watching In the Name of People.

Although Chen Cheng had watched this drama in his previous life.

But after all, this version is different from the previous one.

Also because of Chen Cheng’s participation, this version is quite different from the previous version.

For example, in terms of plot, Chen Cheng’s version of “In the Name of People” is written more clearly.

Such as Zhong Xiaoai’s background identity.

This was not explained clearly in the previous version.

Many people think that the character Zhong Xiaoai is not particularly important.

But actually.

In “In the Name of People”, Zhong Xiaoai is very important.

Zhong Xiaoai came to Handong ostensibly to take care of Hou Liangping.

But in fact, she is actually a key figure who secretly investigates various forces in Handong.

Even the fact that they were able to take down Gao Yuliang and the others in the end was because of Zhong Xiaoai’s background.

otherwise.

Just Hou Liangping and others.

It is possible that Hou Liangping will end up spending the rest of his life in jail.

Also.

This version of Chen Cheng is also written more realistically in terms of his specific career as an official.

In particular, there are some things that people didn’t dare to film in the previous life, but Chen Cheng also filmed them in this version.

For example, at the beginning, Ding Yizhen kept saying that he was the reincarnation of Li Dakang, and he would tease some female subordinates from time to time and tell dirty jokes.

There are also reverse angles such as degree.

Chen Cheng also portrayed him as more corrupt.

These plots stimulate everyone again and again.

of course.

What is even more exciting is the scale mentioned by Chen Cheng before.

Yes.

In fact, the reason why “In the Name of People” became a hit.

Besides authenticity, the most important thing is scale.

In some previous anti-corruption TV dramas, the so-called standards were so extreme that they were outrageous when it came to the provincial level.

But in “In the Name of People”, this is just the beginning.

Just like in the first episode, the scale was set directly on Ding Yizhen.

But Ding Yizhen is just a small shrimp.

Above Ding Yizhen is Qi Tongwei.

Above Qi Tongwei is Gao Yuliang.

Do you think Gao Yuliang has reached the top here?

No.

Above Gao Yuliang is the old secretary.

This old secretary.

That’s a person that even Sha Ruijin doesn’t dare to offend.

So the entire anti-corruption campaign in “In the Name of People” is not that easy.

In addition to anti-corruption, there is a series of struggles involved.

At the same time, it’s also because the scale is so huge.

Some of the corruption cases seem to be ordinary ones and it is not so easy to crack down on them.

Such as Mr. Zhao.

The higher-ups knew clearly that there was something wrong with Master Zhao.

But for the sake of the overall situation, he did not dare to attack Master Zhao directly.

It was not until everything was finally closed that we were sure to catch him.

This is just one of them.

What is even more difficult is that there will be a series of obstacles in the fight against corruption.

It would be fine if Qi Tongwei just used his power to constantly block it.

Chen Hai, who had just appeared in the previous episodes, was hit by a car and turned into a vegetable.

Such a character lies in bed all the time.

Later, it was jokingly called a bed scene.

It was not until the finale that Chen Hai finally woke up.

People like Chen Hai are in danger of their lives. You can imagine how difficult it is to fight corruption.

Of course, it’s not just Chen Hai.

For example, Hou Liangping.

The struggle between the two sides has reached a critical stage.

Hou Liangping can be separated from him with just one sentence.

If he hadn’t had any problems for the time being.

If there is a real investigation, I’m afraid Hou Liangping will be in trouble.

“This show is so well made.”

“Yes, anti-corruption is such a profound subject, and there is so much darkness in it.”

“That’s right. We thought Secretary Dakang was a corrupt official before, but now we see that he is not.”

“Yes. Secretary Dakang is just a little bit strong, but he is very honest and takes good care of his reputation. Gao Yuliang, on the other hand, talks a lot about morality, laws and regulations, but he always wants to improve himself and can’t keep his bottom line.”

“Yes, so Gao Yuliang hid it well. At first, we always thought he was upright. However, Secretary Dakang has no problem but his wife still has problems.”

“Yes, it’s good that Li Dakang can distance himself from his wife. Otherwise, he will be implicated too.”

Everyone continued to discuss the plot.

The ratings of “In the Name of People” are constantly setting new records.

……

After a month, “Operation Mekong River” is finally going to be taken off the screen.

In fact, Wanda and other theater chains hope to give “Operation Mekong River” a 50-day release period.

This is the basic operation of the market.

Generally, very popular and explosive movies will have longer release periods.

50 days is nothing.

Some can even reach 60 days.

But Chen Cheng refused.

The market is very hot now, and a series of good films have emerged in the domestic market.

There is no need for Chen Cheng to allow “Operation Meigong River” to dominate the market.

We should also give other films a chance.

Say.

At this time, the box office of “Operation Mekong River” has exceeded 31 billion, once again breaking the box office record of Chinese-language films.

This isn’t just for the history books.

It also made Chen Cheng earn a lot of money.

Furthermore, it will be extended by 20 days.

Chen Cheng calculated that the box office could only increase by about 2 million at most.

After dividing the profits among several parties, Chen Cheng could only get tens of millions.

Instead of doing this, it is better to take it off the shelves when the time comes.

But it has been removed from the shelves.

But the topic of “Operation Mekong River” continues to arise.

even.

at this time.

Some people also compare “Operation Mekong River” with “In the Name of People”.

Two works.

Although it seems like a different type.

One is a police and gangster film.

The other is an anti-corruption film.

But if we take them out and put them into another major category, it’s actually the same.

Because both works are mainstream themes.

And also because Chen Cheng launched a lot of main theme themes over a period of time.

The market and the media have shown great interest in mainstream themes.

“It seems that mainstream themes will be the direction in the future.”

“Yes, the box office of 31 billion is simply terrifying. This box office can be compared with the North American market.”

“Yes, and the 31 billion box office is not the peak. I believe that this box office record may be broken in the future.”

“So, everyone should study the main theme carefully.”

“Ah.”

Many people have begun to slowly analyze Chen Cheng’s main theme blockbusters.

Just a pity.

Chen Cheng looked at the analysis of many people.

Some of them are indeed better, but most of them are not very good.

Even some of the better ones are actually quite one-sided.

They don’t really understand what the main theme is.

In their eyes.

They only think that the main theme is those positive things promoted by the superiors.

Although it looks like this too.

But it is not comprehensive.

If you just shoot with this idea in mind.

It’s possible to make some decent films.

But Chen Cheng believes.

The vast majority of them may not be down-to-earth and will not be popular in the market.

even.

They will become works endorsed by their superiors.

But this kind of thing.

Chen Cheng was too lazy to explain to everyone.

To truly understand what the main theme is, the market will slowly teach you.

……

A few days later.

Han Sanping and Huang Jianxin found Chen Cheng again.

It’s still that teahouse.

the difference is.

This time, Han Sanping did not play dumb with Chen Cheng, but directly brought up the topic with Chen Cheng.

“Chen Cheng, I think I will retire next year.”

The three of them exchanged a few polite words, and Han Sanping spoke directly.

Chen Cheng was a little surprised: “Retire?”

Chen Cheng recalled the previous incident of Han Sanping’s retirement.

However, Han Sanping also guessed what Chen Cheng was thinking and said, “This time I am really retiring, nothing else.”

The last time Han Sanping retired, it was only because someone inside forced him to take his position.

Later, with the support of some directors such as Chen Cheng, Han Sanping firmly sat in this position.

But Han Sanping is old after all.

No matter what your ability is.

When you get older, you have to retire.

Although he was a little reluctant, Han Sanping was also a generous person. He said, “From now on, I will be a retired old man and go fishing when I have nothing to do.”

Chen Cheng said, “Director Han, sometimes you have to sit for several hours while fishing. Can you keep your composure?”

“We have to be patient even if we can’t keep our cool. After all, we still have to give young people a chance.”

Chen Cheng thought for a moment and said, “Then, who will take your place?”

“How about you come?”

“Pfft…”

Chen Cheng, who was drinking tea, was choked: “Director Han, stop joking.”

“You must be joking. Seriously.”

Han Sanping looked at Chen Cheng seriously.

Huang Jianxin also nodded.

Chen Cheng was stunned: “Director Han, what’s wrong with you?”

“Didn’t you say that you would take over my job from now on?”

Han Sanping mentioned what Chen Cheng said back then.

Chen Cheng said, “You must be joking. How can I take over your job? You are in the system, and I am just an idler. How can I have the ability to do that?”

“Who said I don’t have the ability? If I don’t have the ability, would I dare to invite you?”

Han Sanping winked at Chen Cheng.

“Director Han, you see, I am used to freedom, so how can I stay in the system?”

Chen Cheng kept waving his hands.

Although this seems to be a good job.

but.

Chen Cheng doesn’t like to do this kind of thing.

He doesn’t like some of the things within the system and prefers to be freer and more independent by himself.

However, Han Sanping recognized Chen Cheng and said, “Don’t refuse yet. Actually, I’m not asking you to take over my position completely. I’m just giving you a deputy position, the vice president of China Film. You can go to work or not. Anyway, you can go to work if you want to, and you can stay if you don’t want to. The higher-ups have agreed to it.”

“I……”

Chen Cheng didn’t know what to say for a moment.

But he still said, “Director Han, I really don’t have time. You see, let alone the business of China Film. I often don’t have time for some of my own film and TV series. Besides, I have to go to Hollywood from time to time. If you give me this position, I really can’t do it well.”

“Don’t worry. Also, it’s not just a deputy position for you. China Film Group will also undergo a shareholding reform and absorb more social capital within the next year. If you are willing, China Film Group can take out 10 points of shares for financing.”

“this?”

This said.

Chen Cheng hesitated.

If he was only given a deputy position, Chen Cheng really wouldn’t be interested.

of course.

It’s not that Chen Cheng looks down on this deputy position.

The main reason is that this deputy position does not bring any benefit to oneself, but it may take up a lot of time.

Although Han Sanping doesn’t have to go to work very often, he doesn’t have any tasks to do.

But this is just talk.

If I really assign this position to you, how could there be no tasks?

Even if there is really no mission.

In the general direction, we still need to do something.

Just like Chen Cheng serves as vice president of the Directors Guild.

Although Chen Cheng, the vice president, does not have any specific tasks, sometimes he still has to cooperate with the association.

But if social capital can be introduced, that would be another matter.

At least.

Even if it’s a deputy position.

This also means that Chen Cheng is not working for anyone.

“Look, Old Huang, this guy won’t do anything until he sees the rabbit. He won’t do anything that doesn’t benefit him, even if he is beaten to death.”

Huang Jianxin also laughed out loud.

But he also added: “That’s normal. You can’t just let Chen Cheng work for your China Film Group.”

“What kind of job is this? Vice President of China Film Group. What a high position. Others would fight tooth and nail to get it.”

“Yes, yes, others are others, but you don’t even look at what level Chen Cheng is at.”

“So, it is precisely because this guy has a high rank that he was directly promoted to vice president.”

The two sang the same tune, and Chen Cheng curled his lips: “Okay, two big guys. I know what you are up to. You just want me to work for you. But, isn’t 10 points of shares too little? Can you give me a little more?”

“10 points is not enough?”

“It’s a little less. I’m afraid I won’t have much say then. 15 points, no more, no less.”

“I can’t make the decision on this. I have to report to my superiors.”

“Okay.”

Chen Cheng nodded.

Then Han Sanping also told Chen Cheng why he recommended Chen Cheng.

In fact, China Film Group is at the top.

But China Film Group is also a group company.

In the past, under the leadership of Han Sanping, China Film Group Corporation did make a lot of contributions.

But now the domestic market is developing faster and faster, and China Film Group is somewhat unable to keep up with the pace.

It’s not that there is a problem with China Film’s profitability.

China Film Group has always had no problem with profitability, and it has been relatively good in recent years.

However, China Film Group has never taken profit as its first reference goal.

Although China Film is a group company, its primary task is to guide the domestic market.

Originally, China Film had Han Sanping, who was barely able to handle this task.

But Han Sanping is about to retire.

Although there are successors.

However, no other successor could compare with Han Sanping in terms of fame, status, ability or influence.

So Han Sanping recommended Chen Cheng to his superiors.

Although Chen Cheng was not in the system before.

But Han Sanping believes that Chen Cheng’s overall view is actually consistent with that of China Film Group.

In addition, Chen Cheng has been working in the market for many years and has even entered Hollywood.

It can be said.

Chen Cheng is the one with the greatest vision, ability and influence in the country.

If Chen Cheng could be recruited.

Even if Chen Cheng is not responsible for the company’s business, he will still be of great help to China Film in terms of guiding the direction.
