My capital is quite large.

Chapter 275 One Step to Heaven

Time flies like sand through an hourglass, and in the blink of an eye, it's April.

The film and television department of Haofeng Group Building in Jinling has been quite lively lately.

Because a modern military blockbuster, "Wolf Warrior," which was personally selected by Li Feng and required to be fully funded, is about to have its national premiere during the Qingming Festival!

For this film, the entire film and television department worked meticulously during the preparation period, daring not to be careless in the slightest.

It's important to understand that in today's film industry, action and military themes are notorious box office poison. Furthermore, the director and lead actress, Wu Jing, is a Hong Kong action star who has long since faded from popularity.

Although not many people are optimistic about this project, the boss personally gave it his approval, so who dares to be slow?

While personally leading the team, Lao Han had already prepared for the worst.

"Even if this movie doesn't do well at the box office, we'll buy tickets, generate buzz, even if it's just to boost ticket sales, we absolutely have to make this project personally approved by President Li a resounding success!"

However, the final results once again proved Boss Li's foresight.

After its release during the Qingming Festival, "Wolf Warrior" ignited the patriotic sentiments of countless male viewers with its passionate military theme.

It was a resounding success, winning the box office champion during the Qingming Festival. With low cost and high return, it set a great precedent for Mandarin military-themed films!

"General Manager Li! A great victory!!"

Inside the president's office, Lao Han, the director of the film and television department, rushed in, holding the final surplus report for the Qingming Festival film season that he had just tallied. He began to sing praises to the company without reservation:

"Mr. Li, your foresight back then was truly amazing! Even Wu Jing, a martial arts star who's practically left the film industry, you could see his potential. I, Lao Han, am truly impressed!"

Li Feng seemed somewhat uninterested in Lao Han's flattering praise.

He waved his hand: "Alright, stop flattering me. Don't worry about the popularity of the first one; just let the staff handle the routine operations afterwards."

"How's the preparation and scriptwriting for 'Wolf Warrior 2' going?"

Upon hearing the mention of a sequel, Lao Han quickly wiped away his smile and began to report seriously:

"Mr. Li, Director Wu Jing has finished the script outline for the second film. This time, we're planning to go big."

"The film is set in Africa and involves a large-scale evacuation of Chinese citizens and a real tank battle! In order to achieve the most realistic effect, Wu Jing plans to lead the team to Africa next month for real-life off-road and desert filming."

"As long as the funding is in place, the crew can start filming at any time. We guarantee that 'Wolf Warrior 2' will be released in theaters nationwide within two years."

Li Feng pointed to the budget section of the report: "Add another 100 million yuan to the original investment budget of 200 million yuan for Wu Jing."

Don't skimp on budgets for patriotic films.

When Lao Han heard his boss wave his hand and throw in another 100 million, he quickly accepted the order:

"Go! Don't worry, Mr. Li! I'll fly to the film set this afternoon to transfer the funds to Director Wu. I guarantee we'll produce a powerful artillery piece that will boost national morale!"

......

For the next month, overtime became an unshakeable part of the daily routine for the film and animation departments of Haofeng Group.

The box office phenomenon of "Wolf Warrior" during the Qingming Festival has not yet completely dissipated, and several other films that were also endorsed by big boss Li Feng have already entered the critical stage of release and promotion.

The first film to arrive is the youth blockbuster "The Left Ear," directed by Alec Su.

This movie is not just an ordinary commercial film; behind it lies a performance-based agreement between Erben Pictures and Haofeng Group!

The film and television department's scheduling and public relations teams were on high alert, and no one dared to falter at this critical juncture.

Following closely behind is the Chinese-style 3D animated film, "Monkey King: Hero Is Back," which Li Feng had mentioned several times in the conference room!

In order to complete the final post-production rendering and special effects retouching before the summer movie season, the newly established animation department, led by supervisor Chen Jiahao, has been working in a high-intensity three-shift system for half a month.

"Quickly! Speed ​​up the rendering team's progress! President Li is watching!"

In the large, open-plan office area, Chen Jiahao, sporting dark circles under his eyes, was giving instructions from his seat to others using a walkie-talkie.

This intense, non-stop work not only left Chen Jiahao exhausted, but more importantly, even the account "Haofeng001" of Li Feng's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that he was managing inevitably became sluggish this month.

In the game, the battle within the alliance is in full swing, requiring the alliance leader to keep a close eye on the situation and plan the defense line 24 hours a day.

Chen Jiahao was busy with the animation department's affairs, and the night before last, he almost missed logging in on time to open the battlefield because he was a few minutes late. Several senior managers in the alliance hurriedly urged him in private messages.

This really startled Chen Jiahao.

"If my dad finds out that I messed up Mr. Li's account because of work, he'll definitely hang me up at the company gate as a warning!"

To protect himself, Chen Jiahao secretly recruited a highly skilled and tight-lipped professional assistant from the gaming department.

Besides helping him monitor "Haofeng001's" daily resource card development, I also have to set more than a dozen alarms every day to be ready to deal with any sudden battles in the alliance.

Not only the animation department, but the entire film and television department has been under extreme pressure lately.

Xu Zheng's filming of "Lost in Hong Kong" is nearing completion, while Shen Teng's comedy film "Goodbye Mr. Loser" has entered post-production.

Both of these films were personally approved by Li Feng. Who in the entire film and television department would dare to be even slightly perfunctory?

……

Aside from this frenzy of capital and traffic, the atmosphere in that upscale, fully-furnished apartment in downtown Nanjing was rather quiet.

In front of the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows, Chen Duling and Tian Xiwei were leaning back on the sofa.

These two young actresses, who have been with the company for some time, have now finished filming their respective movie scenes and are enjoying a rare period of free time.

"Sister Duling, congratulations! Today, Weibo is full of trailers for 'The Left Ear.' You're really going to be a huge star this time." Tian Xiwei hugged her knees, looking at Chen Duling beside her with some envy.

A meaningful smile flashed across Chen Duling's pure and ethereal face.

"Xiao Wei, in the entertainment industry, becoming famous isn't just about luck."

Chen Duling only recently realized that in this industry, her most competitive advantage is not her beauty.

Rather, it's her 985 university degree in science and engineering, which is almost unparalleled in the entertainment industry!

It was this label that allowed her to be spotted by Secretary Zhang at first glance!

In order to successfully obtain her bachelor's degree in July and overcome the academic hurdle that prevented her from becoming the matriarch, Zhang Xinyu had already arranged for Chen Duling to be transferred to her side as a tutor through a phone call at the beginning of this year.

In the six months that Chen Duling tutored Zhang Xinyu, she not only used her high intelligence to help Zhang Xinyu understand those dry advanced mathematics and microeconomics clearly.

Furthermore, through their private interactions, he obtained secrets and resources from Da Zhang that ordinary artists would never have access to in their entire lives!
