"Camp Commander?"
At the mention of the title, everyone’s gazes froze, utterly stunned.
They had expected Gao Fei to pull some strings to find filming locations and extras.
But they never imagined that Manager Gao would directly contact military leaders!
It was only then that they suddenly remembered that behind Manager Gao stood the highest department in Dragon Country, the Military Department!
One phone call and he had reached the heavens!
"Someone is bullying you?
Xiao Gao, don't rush. Tell the Camp Commander slowly what happened."
Huang Camp Commander's voice came through the phone, tinged with concern and a hint of anger.
Gao Fei calmed his emotions and began to recount his investment in the film and television company and his preparation to participate in the selection by the General Police Department at the end of March.
When he heard that the General Police Department wanted to promote International Day through film, and that films would be selected from each film and television company.
Camp Commander Huang was slightly surprised. Where did this kid get this information? He had only found out a few days before the Spring Festival.
But before Camp Commander Huang could ask where he got the news.
Gao Fei suddenly asked, "Camp Commander, on the eve of the Spring Festival, a novel called 'The Two-Faced Man' became wildly popular online. Do you know about this?"
"I do! I was in a meeting in the city during that time, and the police colleagues were all discussing this novel.
I then searched for it online and read it. The content of the novel is very realistic!"
Camp Commander Huang first commented on the novel, then asked curiously, "Does the novel have anything to do with you being bullied?"
"Yes! Because this novel was written by me!"
Kyoto Military Region, Recruit Camp.
Before calling Gao Fei, Camp Commander Huang was directing work in the newly formed recruit camp, making pre-training arrangements for the new recruits who would undergo three months of training.
The phone call came just as the meeting ended.
Company Commander Wu and others were preparing to disperse, but upon learning that it was Gao Fei calling the Camp Commander, everyone returned to their seats.
Gao Fei, who had undergone three months of military training at Kyoto University, was highly valued by all the company commanders.
They thought this kid was calling because he had figured things out and was ready to enlist?
But upon hearing that he was being bullied outside, all the company commanders present changed their expressions instantly.
It wasn't until Gao Fei explained the cause and mentioned that he was the author of the novel "The Two-Faced Man" that the stern faces of every company commander turned to shock.
Because during regular meetings, police colleagues would occasionally mention the novel in private.
Thus, it piqued the curiosity of many in the military region about the novel.
After reading the novel, which had already been released in print, military officers and soldiers with border defense combat experience unanimously praised the realism of the novel's content.
And like the novel's fans, they had also inquired with police colleagues about 'Zhang Haisheng' and the author of the novel.
But no one had expected that Xiao Gao, whom all the leaders and officers valued most, was actually the author of the novel.
After revealing himself as the author of "The Two-Faced Man," Gao Fei began to explain to Camp Commander Huang the current situation of his film and television company being blacklisted.
He first mentioned that someone maliciously obstructed actors from auditioning at the company.
Then, Kyoto Film City withdrew the filming location application submitted by the company.
Next, extras teams were ordered not to participate in Feihe Films' productions.
Finally, Gao Fei exaggerated, saying that someone threatened the film crew he had hired, warning everyone in the crew that if they wanted to continue in the entertainment industry, they were not allowed to accept filming for Feihe Films' movies.
Gao Fei also fabricated that someone not only wanted to completely blacklist him but also prevented anyone from undertaking the production of the film adaptation of "The Two-Faced Man."
After hearing about the various threats, warnings, and blockades.
Every company commander attending the meeting at the recruit camp angrily slammed the table and cursed.
Camp Commander Huang, after listening, became extremely grim, his fist heavily striking the table.
Setting aside how much they doted on Gao Fei, just based on the novel "The Two-Faced Man."
The novel depicted the sentiments of many anti-drug police officers in reality and evoked their empathy.
Someone dared to threaten all film crews, forbidding them from accepting the production of the novel's film adaptation.
This was simply insubordination.
Although Camp Commander Huang was also furious, he did not lose his reason: "Xiao Gao, the military is not allowed to participate in any social disputes. You know this.
But I will convey what happened today to the Kyoto Police Department for you.
Your novel is highly acclaimed by many anti-drug police officers, and many people will agree to its film adaptation.
Since someone is maliciously targeting you, I believe the police department will not stand idly by."
"Thank you, Camp Commander!"
"We're all on the same side. Why say thank you?
Just wait. Someone will contact you soon. You definitely won't suffer any losses!"
After hanging up the phone, Camp Commander Huang immediately contacted a high-ranking official at the Kyoto Police Department for Gao Fei.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a few moments, and then Camp Commander Huang began to explain that Gao Fei was the author of the novel "The Two-Faced Man" and the various difficulties he encountered when trying to adapt his novel.
During his description, Camp Commander Huang also added some embellishments.
For instance, he mentioned that because Gao Fei was unwilling to sell the film and television rights to the novel, he was maliciously blacklisted by certain film and television companies.
...
Feihe Films.
In the conference room, everyone watched Manager Gao in silence, not daring to breathe.
They had all just heard the Camp Commander and others on the other end of the phone defend their protégé and express their outrage on his behalf.
Even through the phone receiver, they could imagine how furious the military leaders were.
Just as Gao Fei hung up the phone, the head of costumes and props rushed into the conference room.
"Boss, Director Liu, the manufacturer called. Due to certain reasons, the costumes and props we ordered before the Spring Festival cannot be completed within the specified time.
The manufacturer has already refunded the deposit and transferred the liquidated damages to the company's account."
If it were ten minutes earlier, Wang He and Director Liu might have decided to postpone the filming of the movie upon hearing this news.
But now, with a single phone call from Manager Gao, he had reached the heavens.
The two no longer needed to worry about such trivial matters.
Everyone turned their attention to Manager Gao, waiting to see his reaction.
Gao Fei gave a cold, indifferent smile and sat down in the boss's chair, saying, "Let them continue to jump around, continue to try and blacklist me.
I'd like to see if the person behind the scenes can have the last laugh."
With Camp Commander Huang's assurance, he no longer feared the darkness of the entertainment industry.
Now, he just needed to wait for the call from Camp Commander Huang after he finished contacting the police department.
Meanwhile, at the Kyoto Prosperous Golf Course.
Two middle-aged men, one noticeably plump and the other thin, dressed in sportswear, walked towards the teeing ground with golf clubs in hand, surrounded by a group of people.
As the two men began to move, the staff immediately followed.
The caddy carefully took the club, while other staff members fanned them, offered towels to wipe their sweat, and handed them cups of water to quench their thirst.
At a glance, it resembled an ancient emperor going on an outing.
As the two men were chatting and laughing, a woman in professional attire put down her phone and stepped forward, speaking to the slightly plump man: "Manager Zheng, the Kyoto Film and Television Base has withdrawn Feihe Films' application, and the extras team has also refused Feihe Films' reservation.
Just now, the manufacturer producing the props called to say that Feihe Films' prop orders have been canceled."
