After Rao Zhi mentioned it, Chen Yiyang had a bit of a recollection.
Last time when Chen Yiyang met with Rao Zhi, Rao Zhi told him that Gong Fan had taken over a project for a main theme movie from above.
But at that time, Gong Fan's main focus was on Earth Wandering 2, and he couldn't attend to this project.
So he only acted as the producer, handing the director's position to Rao Zhi, letting him take main responsibility for the project.
"The name of this film project is 'Long Way Home', and it tells the story of a Chinese diplomat organizing a evacuation in a Middle Eastern country."
"I remember it a bit now." Chen Yiyang also recalled this project.
Back then, he even invested some money into it.
"Most of the movie's background takes place in the Middle East, so we contacted a Middle Eastern country to shoot there.
Now I've got actors, costumes, props all prepared, but they told me there's been armed conflict there, and if we go now, we might face life-threatening danger."
