Chapter 361 A Fly Appears
Coming out of Zhengyanglou Beijing Cuisine, Wang Deming looked at the people rushing back and forth on Pedder Street and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It's really not easy to do anything. I originally thought that we could just have a casual chat, and then the filmmakers like Changcheng would be very willing to arrange for the film to be screened in the theater under Zhang Shouchun's name, but I didn't expect to hit a snag.

It's not that he couldn't use his golden finger to convince the other party, but after thinking about it, he gave up. After all, the other party was on the same side as the mainland, so he gave up.

It is normal to have different opinions. You are not a god. It is good to hear some harsh words from time to time, so that you don't get too proud.

People should not be careless. If they are careless, it is easy to cause trouble. If a large group of people are careless, it will cause big trouble.
He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost time for afternoon work, so he went back to work.

In fact, no one cares whether he goes to work at China Resources or not. Since helping Mr. Ding complete the grain procurement work, he has continued to become a transparent person within China Resources.

When Mr. Ding occasionally came to him for tea, he also quietly revealed that he had applied to his superiors to arrange a vice-president-level position for him within China Resources as his right-hand man, but his superiors rejected the application.

The higher-ups mean that Comrade Wang Deming's faith is not firm enough.
When talking about this, Mr. Ding was actually very regretful. Since the completion of the grain contract, a steady supply of grain has been transported to various domestic ports on giant ships of 100,000 tons. The domestic situation has been initially alleviated, and agricultural production has also recovered significantly.

According to reports from various parts of the country, agricultural production in 61 has recovered to 57% of the level of 7.
Only he knew how important a role Wang Deming played in this. It was no exaggeration to say that he turned the tide, especially the hundreds of thousands of tons of wheat shipped from India to China at the end of the 60s, which really solved the urgent problem.

Moreover, there is no need to use foreign exchange to settle the bill domestically. Instead, the country uses export materials such as raw silk and cotton grey cloth to offset the deficit, and the offset price is about 1% higher than the international price.

If one has such a strong ability to get things done but still has an unsteady faith, then what is called firm faith?

In addition, Mr. Song has been secretly arranged to return to China for other arrangements.
Therefore, Comrade Wang Deming continued to be assigned to work as a health care doctor in the clinic on the 8th floor of China Resources.
Apart from Mr. Ding and his personal secretary, no one else knew Wang Deming's other identity.

When Wang Deming came home in the evening, Li Hanxiang was sitting in the living room as expected, writing and drawing on the coffee table with the Hu brothers, arguing in low voices, and didn't even notice that he was coming over.

Wang Deming signaled to Sister Tao not to interrupt the two of them, and stood quietly behind them watching their argument.

The coffee table is almost covered with storyboards. Both of them have worked as artists. The characters drawn with pencils on the manuscript paper show the characteristics of clothing and facial expressions, unlike Director Jiang's storyboards which are all stick figures.
It seems that the two of them were discussing a new script, which was the "Allure of Beauty" series that Li Hanxiang had always talked about.

Wang Deming was particularly moved by the textual research books that the two discussed.

"Xi Shi lived during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. According to the records in the Records of Vehicles and Clothing and the Records of Vehicles and Clothing, she wore dark and long robes, robes, and quilted jackets. Dark means black, and long means no decoration, so there was no need to make so many bird and animal patterns."

"Otherwise, most of the information we can find now is from the Han Dynasty, which can be used as an important reference. The characteristics of women's clothing are: broad shoulders, thin waist, long clothes that reach the ground, large and straight sleeves, and jade pendants and rings. There is only a difference of a few hundred years, so it can be applied. If there is no decoration, the audience will not like it."

"How about this?" Li Hanxiang wrote a few words quickly.

"Okay, okay. Let's add a ring here." King Hu added a few more strokes.

When their discussion came to an end, Wang Deming coughed loudly, waking them up.

"Mr. Wang, when did you come back? Sorry, we were so engrossed in talking about movies."

"Sit down, sit down," Wang Deming smiled and motioned for the two to relax, then he picked up a few storyboards and sat on the sofa to read them together, "Is this what Director Li prepared for the filming of Xi Shi?"

"Hehe, that's right!" Li Hanxiang's dark face was full of pride, "The only thing left for "Butterfly Lovers" is the exterior scenes. We are ready to go to Japan in three days to shoot the exterior scenes. It will take about 20 days." He raised his index finger, "At most one month, we can start formal preparations for "Xi Shi." "I have already agreed with Xiao Lin Dai that Xi Shi will play the leading role. She has recently hired a dance teacher to keep in shape and has even turned down other film contracts from Shaw Brothers."

Wang Deming gave a thumbs up and praised: "Director Li is indeed a great director. He shoots movies back to back without taking a break in between."

"Haha, it's so rare to get what you want, why rest? You're just waiting to die and rest every day."

Wang Deming nodded, then turned to King Hu and asked, "Director Hu, have you finished preparing for your new film? You also know that my wife is in confinement after giving birth. We are of similar age. If you need anything, just tell me directly."

King Hu was really blunt and spoke directly: "Mr. Wang, I had agreed with Lydia Lo to play the leading female role, but Lydia Lo is still filming "Liang Zhu". I will officially start filming after she finishes filming. In addition, you have to tell Sister Hongwei that the 5 Hong Kong dollars she approved for me for the set fee is not enough. At least add another 5."

Wang Deming agreed immediately. "Okay, Sister Hongwei is at my house right now. I'll mention it to you when we have dinner later. Of course, if Sister Hongwei thinks that this money should not be paid, I will sponsor you personally."

In my previous life, I knew director King Hu because of Tsui Hark. The latter's remake of "Dragon Inn" was a movie written and shot by King Hu in 67, and it broke the box office record for Chinese and foreign films since the founding of Hong Kong in 67.

It was also the first Hong Kong film to be screened in Japan, successfully opening up the Japanese market.

It is also known that when Tsui Hark was filming "Swordsman", he invited King Hu to be the director, but the two parted on bad terms.

King Hu was extremely particular about the beauty of details when making films. Waiting for dozens of days for the light for a shot was a piece of cake. It is no exaggeration to say that every frame of "A Touch of Zen" he shot can be used as a computer wallpaper.

But Hongwei is the head of an advertising company after all, and she can't just give up on a few tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars because of King Hu making things difficult for her.

King Hu nodded directly, "That's fine."

Wang Deming smiled silently. This guy was not like this before he started making movies. He doesn't understand the ways of the world. But only in this way can he make good movies.

"Director Li, why did I feel at noon today that the people from Great Wall and Phoenix Company had no intention of cooperating with me?"

Li Hanxiang slapped his thigh and said, "Hey, Mr. Wang, do you still remember the Long Wu you beat when we first met?"

"I know. Is it because of him?"

"Isn't it? I opposed Xiao Lin Dai's relationship with him before, because he didn't look like a good guy. But I never thought he had such a great power to influence Director Zhu Shilin and others." Li Hanxiang was very depressed when he mentioned this. "After you left, I quietly asked Director Zhu, and the biggest reason was the need for united front work."

"I really didn't expect that the Great Wall and Phoenix film companies don't have their own independent theaters now, and they are unwilling to cooperate with us."

"Mr. Wang, don't take it to heart. I'll talk to Director Fu Qi of Great Wall and Mr. Liao of Xinlian later."

Wang Deming smiled and shook his head, "No need"

Li Hanxiang was stunned. "You"
