"It’s not that we can’t lend it, but there are strict regulations on lending. If you really want to borrow, I’m afraid that once your film is completed, we would need to review it first. Only if there are no issues would you be able to broadcast it."
"If there are any problems, changes must be made, which could be quite a hassle."
Xie Changrun hadn’t finished speaking when Director Qian, unable to contain his excitent, interrupted, "I’m not afraid of hassle! I’ve always wanted to make such a film, full of passion, valor, and ideals, charging into battle fearlessly for the safety of the people. I particularly love it!"
"Brother, I’m not afraid to tell you, to make this film I’ve even mortgaged my house, just to achieve the ideal effect I have in my heart. I don’t want to leave any regrets. If I can borrow the latest developed weapons, we can discuss the review process!"
The others were slightly stunned, not expecting Director Qian to be so impassioned. Before they could react, Director Qian added, "You can also invest in the project, having you involved would ensure stricter control over my film."
After a while, He Jinxia was the first to co back to her senses and applauded him, saying, "Admirable, Director, I truly admire your determination to make this film well!"
Xie Changrun couldn’t help but nod, ntally noting it, and said, "Regarding your proposal, we will take it to heart and discuss it thoroughly in a eting."
Director Qian’s face lit up, sensing an opportunity, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Xie, are you free to go out for a al?"
Xie Changrun shook his head, "No need, I’m a bit busy. Take your ti leaving, I’ll see you out."
The two insisted it wasn’t necessary, but Xie Changrun still accompanied them for a walk outside. Director Qian talked with him a bit more until they reached a fork in the road, where they parted ways.
After separating, He Jinxia saw that the surroundings were quiet and asked as they walked, "Director Qian, do you think this person can help us?"
Director Qian’s face twitched, and he raised an eyebrow, "Hey, I was just about to ask you that. Do you think it will work?"
He Jinxia was bewildered, "? I don’t know!"
Director Qian, "Aren’t you acquainted with him?"
He Jinxia shook her head, honestly saying, "I don’t know him. I didn’t even know his na. We t a few days ago and greeted each other. I was a bit surprised to see him this ti, so I greeted him again."
Director Qian sighed deeply, "I thought you knew him and was hoping you could help persuade him."
He Jinxia whispered, "You also noticed he holds a high position?"
During their previous conversation, He Jinxia had noticed the person in charge seed a bit restrained and didn’t dare to speak freely.
Director Qian lowered his voice, "This man definitely holds a higher position than the one in charge, I just don’t know what he does at the weapons research center, or if he can help."
Expertise varies, so people specialize in research, so in publicity... everyone has their role.
The person in charge of external affairs at the weapons center is responsible for such matters, so Mr. Xie in the center may hold a high position but might not have a say in the external leasing of weapons, as it’s not his jurisdiction."
As He Jinxia pondered, Director Qian asked again, "Can you try to find out more?"
He Jinxia showed a bitter smile, "Director Qian, I only t Mr. Xie once by chance, so don’t think too highly of . If my family had connections with the military, I would have secured this for you long ago."
Strictly speaking, her family had no connections, but Sheng Yan’s family did.
But since Sheng Yan was still filming and Aunt Rui was hands-off, she didn’t want to bother them with this.
The reason was that she didn’t regard this matter as important as the people from Sheng Yan’s family, which is why she didn’t want to trouble them.
Director Qian thought about it and agreed, not pursuing it further. He had done all he could; the outco was now out of his hands.
Three days later, He Jinxia was at ho contemplating the script. Before she received any news from the military, she first heard that the male lead, Gong Hongyu, had returned from a family visit and could join the film crew, and she also received the final edited version of the first episode of "Rescue 5 Hours".
She watched "Rescue 5 Hours" for an entire afternoon, sent to her by the editing team. A reality show typically only lasts one and a half hours, and "Rescue 5 Hours" followed this duration.
She watched it three tis before she finally relaxed, feeling even greater anticipation for the program.
The editing was excellent, without the usual reality tv drama, intentional conflicts, and sensationalism. Instead, it presented a vivid portrayal of a firefighting team.
In the first episode, He Jinxia didn’t pay much attention to the celebrities.
Although there were still many shots of celebrities, they weren’t the focus of the reality show. She involuntarily focused more on the admirable firefighters.
Even soone with an ordinary appearance had a unique charm when imrsed in training.
The editing team were worried about not doing a good job, so the episode was filled with highlights, without cutting in frivolous celebrity chit-chat, ensuring a crisp and concise detail handling.
Initially, He Jinxia thought her cao would feature in the second episode, since when she visited, Yu Yanyu and others were engaged in live drills.
In reality shows, the first episode usually focuses on the celebrities’ adjustnt process, with the real action starting in the second episode.
However, the team behind "Rescue 5 Hours" edited quickly, incorporating so content from the second episode into the end of the first one.
This approach had its benefits and drawbacks. The benefit was that it impressed viewers from the start, making it seem very impressive.
But the drawback was exactly because of its impressiveness. With key highlights shown, it raised expectations for the next episode.
If these expectations were not t, the rating of the program would decline, falling into a "stunning start but diocre follow-through" predicant.
He Jinxia didn’t know how the editing team would handle the next episode, but based on what she had seen of the first, she was very pleased.
In her heart, she also believed that since they dared to make such a bold move in the first episode, they must have sothing held back for the second. All she could do now was wait and see.
She looked up at the clock, saw it was almost dinner ti, and started to get ready.
That evening, she was attending a welco dinner for the male lead in "Special Action", and Luo You would accompany her. If drinking was involved, he would drink on her behalf.
In the past, her acting roles were always rushed. She would hurriedly join a crew and leave just as quickly, never really having a pre-shoot dinner to get to know the other crew mbers.
