47: Chapter 47 Calling Guo Fan!

Xu Hao's face was filled with excitement, his eyes burning with eagerness.

This was the very sentence he had been waiting for from Professor Zhou!

The workshops in the new factory area could fully support the production of three assembly lines.

Therefore, he could start considering his next plan...

Xu Hao calmed the excitement in his heart, returned to his normal expression, and asked Professor Zhou Xuemin:

"Professor Zhou, we still have a cooperative relationship with Guo Fan Film Industry. Therefore, can these props appear on screen?"

If it were before, he would definitely have wanted these props to appear in the movie 'The Wandering Earth'.

After all, 'The Wandering Earth' would be a massive hit of a sci-fi movie in the future.

But now, the level of attention from the authorities far exceeded his expectations.

He wasn't sure what the higher-ups really meant, so he could only seek Professor Zhou's stance.

Professor Zhou Xuemin hesitated for a moment, pondered for a while, and then said:

"For the next half month, the Dragon Academy of Sciences and the military still need to conduct research and analysis on the transport vehicles, the A-225 Transport Aircraft, and the Exoskeleton Mecha, and implement some protective measures."

"After half a month, the work will be mostly finished. By then, these products can enter the film crew, and it won't affect their normal filming schedule."

After all, these behemoths that Xu Hao built were at the cutting edge of technology and of great importance, so they needed to be treated with caution and have proper protective measures in place.

This would take some time.

Xu Hao nodded in agreement, "No problem!"

"Then I will also communicate with Director Guo Fan on my end to let him know, so their crew can film normally."

Xu Hao and the personnel from Professor Zhou Xuemin's side talked for a long time, exchanging opinions on many aspects such as the subsequent deployment of work and personnel management.

By the afternoon, they boarded a helicopter and returned to Longdu.

After seeing off Professor Zhou and his party, Xu Hao returned to his office, picked up the phone, and called Director Guo Fan.

"Hello, this is Xu Hao!"

The call connected, and Xu Hao said.

"X-… Chairman Xu?!" Director Guo Fan was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, "Chairman Xu, you've finally called me. You've made me wait so bitterly, wuwuwu…"

Director Guo Fan looked aggrieved, like a jilted wife, and was on the verge of crying and snotting.

"Hahaha… Sorry, Director Guo, some things happened at the factory that needed to be handled."

Xu Hao apologized, feeling somewhat helpless.

Director Guo Fan was truly worthy of being a director; this acting… it was truly an eye-opener!

"Has the matter been resolved?"

Director Guo Fan's acting instantly receded, and he asked with concern instead.

"They were just minor issues, and they have already been resolved!"

"The props requested for 'The Wandering Earth' can be provided immediately, and you can start filming normally!"

Xu Hao replied.

"That's good!" Director Guo Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

In the lounge of the 'The Wandering Earth' film crew, hearing Xu Hao's words, Director Guo Fan's whole body instantly relaxed, and he slumped onto the sofa.

The fatigue and worry on his face vanished in that instant.

The investors and the creative team in the room also breathed a sigh of relief along with Director Guo Fan, their expressions relaxing.

For this period of time, they had been staying with the crew and hadn't gone anywhere.

Firstly, official personnel would come over to investigate and ask questions from time to time, and at the same time, because of Xu's Heavy Industry, the entire crew was in a state of suspended filming.

Unease, worry, and a lack of information left the entire crew in a lethargic state.

They had no appetite for tea or food.

It wasn't until these past few days, hearing rumors from the outside that Xu's Heavy Industry seemed to have caught the state's attention and they intended to invest, that their mood improved slightly.

But without confirmed news, they still dared not jump to conclusions and kept waiting for Xu Hao's call.

Until now!

Although Xu Hao only said the matter was resolved without detailing how.

However, Director Guo Fan and the others were old hands; they clearly knew what Xu Hao's "resolved" implied.

Thinking of this, Director Guo Fan's expression changed slightly, but he did not continue on this topic.

Next, the two discussed the subsequent filming locations and schedule for the movie.

They didn't chat for too long before ending the conversation.

The moment he hung up Xu Hao's call, Director Guo Fan let out a long sigh of relief, and the atmosphere in the entire lounge eased up significantly at that moment.

Those investors and the creative team looked at each other, then looked at Director Guo Fan.

Clearing his throat, one of them said to him with a somewhat ingratiating tone:

"Ahem… Director Guo, since the matter has been resolved, then 'The Wandering Earth' can proceed with filming normally."

"You are the director of this movie; I hope you will put more effort into the subsequent filming matters."

"Rest assured, if you encounter any difficulties during filming or need any help, just tell us. As investors and the creative team, we will definitely cooperate with you as much as possible."

"How to film and what to do is up to you; we won't interfere!"

"If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave."

After speaking, the investors and the creative team changed from their previous overbearing attitude, smiled at Director Guo Fan, and then left one by one.

Director Guo Fan did not stop them, stood up to shake hands with them one by one, and after watching them leave, sat back down on the sofa.

Thinking of the attitude of the investors and the creative team just now, he couldn't help but sneer and shake his head slightly.

A while ago, they were still clamoring to terminate the cooperative relationship with Xu's Heavy Industry, otherwise they would withdraw their investment.

Now, not only did they not mention anything about contract termination, but they even gave him the greatest say, allowing him to be fully responsible for the filming of 'The Wandering Earth'.

Such a scene was something Director Guo Fan hadn't even dared to imagine before.

However…

Director Guo Fan thought about it and understood why this was the case.

Rumors outside said the Dragon Kingdom authorities had invested in Xu's Heavy Industry, although Xu Hao hadn't explicitly stated this on the phone just now.

But as clever as foxes, they must have heard the meaning behind the words.

The matter of Xu's Heavy Industry becoming a state-owned enterprise was probably almost certain!

A state-owned enterprise cooperating with 'The Wandering Earth'—how many people dreamed of such a thing?

Moreover, Xu's Heavy Industry seemed to have a certain relationship with important Dragon Kingdom departments like the Dragon Academy of Sciences and the military.

Director Guo Fan sighed deeply, his face full of a contented smile.

He hadn't been this happy in a long time.

Just at this moment, the lounge door opened, and Actor Wu Jing walked in from outside.

"Yo, what has made our great Director Guo so happy?"

Actor Wu Jing teased.

Director Guo Fan ignored his sarcastic tone, continued smiling, and then said:

"The matter with Xu's Heavy Industry has been resolved, filming will continue, and the film props will be arranged immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Actor Wu Jing was stunned, then the corners of his mouth turned up, and the look of excitement spread from his mouth to his eyes, and then to his entire face.

"Really?!"

"Why would I lie to you?"

Director Guo Fan pouted and said disdainfully.

"That's great!!"

Actor Wu Jing waved his fist and said excitedly.

As a famous actor in the industry, he knew more news than others.

Therefore.

The resolution of the Xu's Heavy Industry matter meant too much.

But what he was more concerned about were the props built by Xu's Heavy Industry.

"Those props from Xu's Heavy Industry being able to be used in our movie will undoubtedly be the finishing touch, with explosive effects!!"

He had personally experienced those behemoth-like film props, which was why he said that.

Now.

The Dragon Academy of Sciences and the military had both entered the Xu's Heavy Industry factory area and had tested and researched these props.

Doesn't that mean these props have been certified by the Dragon Kingdom authorities?

Thinking of this, Actor Wu Jing became even more excited.

"I am now very much looking forward to the shocking performance of those props in the movie 'The Wandering Earth'!!!"
