The Buddha-Devil Line was a dangerous moment.

In Jane Xiaodan’s eyes, it was a game that could not be more dangerous, and in Gaoleng’s eyes, it was a game that could not be better.

“This is too risky. It’s too risky for you to take advantage of such a serious national conference of writers and artists from the government.” Said Jian Xiaodan.

“This game is too good. I’ll take such a serious national conference of writers and artists from the government. It’s too good.” Gaoleng replied.

“When I was filming a religious film, I said that the abbot of this temple is a Buddha. All the believers convert to my Buddha and my monk. But if you are a monk with greed and desire, it is a devil. The higher the monk, the more likely it is to be a devil. It is a Buddha or a devil on the first line, so there is a saying called ‘Buddha-Devil Line’.” Director Zhang said meaningfully. He looked deeply at Gaoleng and said, “Right now, the adventure chess and the wonderful chess are also in their subtleties. It depends on how you grasp it right now. It’s a dangerous moment. It’s strong.”

Director Zhang, who had artistic dreams, did not mind gambling with Gaoleng. He was even glad that he could gamble with Gaoleng. If the waves of his long life did not rise, what would be the joy of it?

Just as he was speaking, Director Zhang thought about the phone call. When he picked it up, his expression changed, “Yes, good, 7:30 p.m. Yes.”

After hanging up the phone, Director Zhang looked at Gaoleng and said, “We are going to play a second chess piece. I received the news that a meeting of writers and artists will be held at 7:30 tonight.”

“So sudden?” Jian Xiaodan was surprised.

“Did you say which leader will come?” Gaoleng was not surprised and asked.

“I didn’t say.” Director Zhang’s eyes lit up. He stood up and paced back and forth in the meeting room, looking very excited. At the end, he stopped and said, “Looks like there will really be a great leader this time.”

Only the real leader would have a meeting. It was unknown which leader would come. Commanders were always fond of sudden attacks. If they had told these literary and artistic workers that they were going to preside over a meeting, they would probably have a lot of interests at stake when they spoke.

“Many of my friends are not in the Imperial Capital right now. I’m afraid some of them will be absent.” Director Zhang sat beside Gaoleng and said, “I have to get ready for the meeting. What else do you have to tell me?”

“I only have one sentence.” Gaoleng stretched out his hand and held Director Zhang’s hand. “Whatever you do, do as you please. Cooperate seriously with the leaders in the meeting. However, the leaders will definitely shake hands one by one during the meeting. No matter what the leader says, you have to say something at this time.”

“What?”

“You said, well, I’m currently preparing ‘Great Founding of a Republic’, a film that was made before and after the founding of the People’s Republic.” Said Gaoleng.

“No matter what the commander says?”

‘”That’s right, this kind of big picture doesn’t leave much time for everyone to shake hands. Normally, the chief would say,’ Hello, hard work, let’s carry forward the work of literature and art. ‘I estimate that the chief must know you. You’ve been filming for more than forty years. Whether you shake hands for a long time or not, you should just say that.”

Director Zhang held Gaoleng’s hand and understood.

Well, I’m working on “Great Founding of a Republic”, a pre-and post-founding film.

This sentence could be said in a reporting tone, and no one felt that it was inappropriate to say anything that the chief had said while shaking his hand all the way.

“Just say that. I’ll handle the rest.” Seeing that Director Zhang was a little nervous, Gaoleng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, “You are Empire’s famous director. I estimate that the chief will definitely stay here for a while. Don’t worry, you definitely have time to say that.”

“Why are you so sure that the commander will stay with me?” Director Zhang was puzzled.

Gao sneered, “A long time ago, I didn’t bring the first, second, and possibly even the head of the Ministry of Culture. These people have read all the media reports since they became officials.”

In any chess game, only by knowing oneself and one’s opponent can one win a hundred battles. Behind Gaoleng’s certainty, it took an unimaginable amount of effort: the three leaders had been officials for decades, and they had appeared in the media an astonishing number of times. He had at least flipped through tens of thousands of paper reports and thousands of news videos.

Especially the chief.

“In the past 20 years, the chief has mentioned your film on more than one occasion.” Gaoleng looked at Director Zhang. This was one of the reasons why he wanted Director Zhang to make this movie. His fame and reputation were indispensable, and the chief liked his films so much that he had to be chosen.

“Really?” Director Zhang didn’t even know this was happening. That’s right. Twenty years ago, Chief Zhang’s rank wasn’t high. In the past twenty years, he had appeared in the local media a lot, but Director Zhang had never paid attention to him.

But Gaoleng noticed that there were occasional videos appearing in the local news media, some of them in official interviews, and later on when he went abroad to study, the chief executive even brought a CD of a play he shot back then and gave it to officials of a certain American city that was then a sister city to his city.

The leader is also a human being. When he is not at the highest level, he will be like us commoners. When he is at the highest level, he will watch movies and newspapers. It is not surprising that he has a director he likes.

“Yes, he will definitely stay with you for a bit longer.” “I told you,” Gaoleng said with absolute certainty, “it’s a good move, not a dangerous one.”

“Will the chief give us the policy?” Jian Xiaodan asked.

“Probably not.” Gaoleng shook his head. It was only when he shook his hand that Director Zhang said this. If he gave the policy, it would naturally be a gift from heaven. If he did not, it would also be expected: “But I have other ways. Director Zhang, you can rest assured to attend the meeting.”

He said this, but the chief did not give him any policy. How could he play this game? Jane Xiaodan became curious. However, aside from curiosity, she was no longer worried. She looked at Gaoleng with admiration.

According to Gaoleng, he had read the news of several leading figures for decades, which was enough to make Jane Xiaodan admire him.

As both players, their abilities were too different. Jane Xiaodan had always thought that she was an excellent person in her preparations, but she was nothing in front of Gaoleng.

“Alright, I’ll go first.” Director Zhang understood what was going on in his heart. However, it wasn’t difficult for him to say such a thing when he shook hands.

Everything that was difficult was left to Gaoleng, and he walked into the battle with ease.

“Xiaodan.” Gaoleng’s hand quickly knocked on the table, his face full of determination and strategy: “Tonight is the meeting, you immediately go to do something, the sooner the better.”

(Thank you, Wanniao. I don’t remember my name. I’ll reward you with madness!)
