Sheng Tang helped Ding Ruifan choose this film.
She herself wasn't entirely confident. But she thought, even if they didn't win an award at one of Europe's three major film festivals, the domestic Qinglan Award would surely be achievable.
She felt it was a way to repay the support that Ding Ruifan and his wife had given her.
After she left, Mrs. Ding and the agent Sister Ying discussed it for a long time.
"...This art film is definitely a small investment, probably just thirty million," Mrs. Ding said. "Even if no investors are willing, we can fund it ourselves."
"Do you really want to act in this?"
"For an art film, it's fine. Even with a low fee, it has style," Mrs. Ding said.
Ding Ruifan was already captivated.
He was even more superstitious than Mrs. Ding and the agent.
Sheng Tang's confidence also gave Ding Ruifan a lot of hope. In the local scene, the awards from Europe's three major film festivals are very prestigious and have a high standing.
