Chapter 435: The fool is lame (update 24)

To be honest, although Europe and the United States have always been mentioned together.

But that doesn't mean they are monolithic.

It seems that Ameirika treats life and stick like dogs.

In fact, they do the same to European countries.

They are all white men, and no one wants to be arbitrarily dominated by others.

Therefore, various European countries are taking various actions privately. It is precisely because of this foundation that Xu Xiyu is so straightforward.

Similarly, it was because of this foundation that after Sherlock heard Xu Xiyu say, "European filmmakers should be ashamed."

Suppressing his anger, he argued: "Leo, movies are a money-burning industry. We don't have the funds, technology, or talents to support the development of commercial movies.

Nowadays, European audiences are ignorant. They cannot understand real art and can only get cheap happiness by immersing themselves in a sea of ​​popcorn movies.

But cheap is cheap. Without their support, we would be forced into a vicious cycle of no box office and no funds. As a filmmaker, you should understand this! ”

"Understood, I completely understand your difficulties. You don't have funds, technology, or talents, but I do!" Xu Xiyu finally got to the point.

"You want to invest in Italian movies?" Sherlock was stunned again, and then he was happy. Italian movies are really about to be finished. If Xu Xiyu can invest, that would be great.

"Yes, but not entirely right. Rather than investment, it is better to talk about mutual development. I hope to use Italy as a springboard to enter the European market.

In this process, I will use a large number of Italian filmmakers, including actors and actresses in front of the stage and various workers behind the scenes.

The influence of the Oscars is based on the American film market. As long as we can capture the European market, Venice will be the real European Oscar.

By then, everything from Cannes in France to Berlin in Germany will be stepped on by you! "Xu Xiyu said this and knocked on the table.

After hearing these words, Sherlock was a little disappointed.

Aren't you giving money directly?

If you don't pay me directly, I won't be interested in listening.

Common development is a nice thing to say.

Ever since, he was about to make some excuse to Xu Xiyu, but he heard Xu Xiyu continue to say: "I take back what I just said, it is not a European Oscar.

The influence of the Venice Film Festival will one day far exceed that of the Oscars. Because, in the future, the vast market of China will also participate. ”

These words are naturally deceptive. If one day comes, it will definitely be the Chinese film festival that takes on this responsibility.

Of course, this is not entirely a lie. If one day, American movies completely lose the market in Europe and Asia.

The influence of the Oscars will indeed be less than that of the Venice Film Festival, which is participated by both the European market and the Chinese market.

And Xu Xiyu's deception continues: "Sherlock, Eurasia is the center of the world island. It has the largest population and the most splendid culture. When we are completely connected, the world on the edge will eventually be marginalized again. < br>


Once upon a time, Venetian merchants were all over the world, and the art of Florence was world-renowned. The European Renaissance began in Italy, and the next Renaissance should start from Italy again.

I don’t know how Hollywood treats you, but you should know that I cooperated with Warner, but Jeffrey, a greedy guy, did not do any work.

They are not trustworthy, but I have a reputation for integrity in China, and those who work with me have received amazing returns.

In fact, my talent is so powerful that Netflix spent 25 million US dollars to buy my TV series and not broadcast it. They are afraid of me. You can check all this. ”

Dumbfounded.

It wasn't just Sherlock who was dumbfounded.

Even Cheng Yunqing, who continued to translate, was the same.

Oh My God.

This is bullshit! !

But Cheng Yunqing felt unable to refute.

Because what Xu Xiyu said was true, but the way he described it was a little more skillful.

Moreover, when talking about cooperation with foreigners, you have to brag about your abilities and your strength. Only then will they think you have a future and feel safe cooperating with you.

If you say a few words of humility, people will think you are really not good at it.

Seeing that both of them were confused, Xu Xiyu continued: "So, where should we start?"

"Where to start?" Sherlock asked instinctively.

"Starting from "The Intouchables", thanks to Sophia's efforts, we have held a super red carpet show, and this red carpet show has brought huge attention to the Venice Film Festival.

There is an old saying in China that he who understands current affairs is a hero. What is current affairs? All the women in the film festival, as well as a large number of Chinese audiences, are looking forward to this dual-heroine film winning the award. This is current affairs. ”

"???" As soon as these words came out, Sherlock felt something was wrong.

You guys are not here to fool me, are you?

You made all this talk just to get a prize, right?

The beautiful future you just described is not a lie to me, right? Just when he was doubting here, Xu Xiyu's next words made his eyes widen instantly.

I saw Xu Xiyu speaking: "However, this kind of urgent matter is only a small one, there is another big one. Sherlock, I hope you can let the public know first, so that people will have the feeling that "The Intouchables" will definitely win the award. < br>


At the same time, arrange for some film critics to praise "The Intouchables". Of course, the quality of this movie can also stand up to praise. I believe everyone who has seen this movie will like it.

Then, when everyone thought "Untouchable" would win the Golden Lion Award and Best Actress, we found a group of correct people to protest, saying that our red carpet show discriminated against correct people. ”

"You're crazy!!" Sherlock immediately screamed after hearing the translation.

Then he lowered his voice and said: "Leo, maybe your country doesn't have anything like this, so you don't know much about it. But I have to remind you that once you are targeted by these people, many things will become difficult to handle.

By then, let alone asking the jury to give you the award, it is still unknown whether your film can continue to participate in the exhibition. Those people are really troublesome, don’t mess with them, they are a bunch of lunatics! ”

"But what I want is to withdraw from the Venice Film Festival." Xu Xiyu said with a smile.

"??" Cheng Yunqing.

"???" Sherlock.

"If a fist wants to be powerful, it must be withdrawn before it is punched out." Xu Xiyu said, and also made a movement of closing the fist and punching out.

After speaking, he continued: "Correct people are also called minorities. They are wantonly violating the rights of the majority group. Countless people are angry at them but can do nothing.

In other words, as long as we are persecuted by them, we will naturally stand with the majority groups in Europe and even the world. ”

"Then what? Leo, I must remind you again, if you are targeted by them, in order to avoid trouble, no theater will play "The Untouchables". Even if most people want to support you, you can't accept it. Return the cost.”

To be honest, Sherlock really admires Xu Xiyu now.

He felt that Xu Xiyu, who boasted... well... oratory skills, might have been able to become a leader in the future if he had been born in Italy.

Just when Sherlock was thinking about it.

Xu Xiyu said again: "What if, in the name of Warner's joint venture, I find two right people with distinctive looks to remake a version of "The Intouchables"?

The production time of this movie will not be too long. The filming location is in Italy. The other supporting roles are Italian actors. The actors have one requirement: the male must be handsome and the female must be beautiful. ”

"??" Cheng Yunqing.

"??!!" Sherlock.

"In this world, beauty and ugliness are contrasted. When everyone sees the ugly version of "The Intouchables", the anger in their hearts will be deepened again.

Then they will understand how good "The Untouchables" is, played by two of the best actresses I know. At that time, no matter which group they belonged to, there was no reason to block the release of "The Intouchables".

Likewise, by that time, I will have other high-quality films under my belt that can come to Europe with this break.

And you, Sherlock, are my closest partner in Europe. We can cooperate in all aspects from production to promotion.

In the future, I hope to see the most beautiful women in Sicily appear in our films. ”

If we say that just now Sherlock was just excited by Xu Xiyu's "speech".

This time, he felt cold from head to toes, and then warm from feet to head.

After being stunned for a long time, Sherlock suddenly stretched out his hand and said: "Leo, I hope our cooperation can be happy and long-term!"

When Xu Xiyu saw this, a friendly smile appeared on his face, and he stretched out his hand to shake Sherlock's hand.

Ten minutes later.

Cheng Yunqing and Xu Xiyu left Sherlock's office.

As soon as he arrived at a deserted place, Cheng Yunqing couldn't wait to ask: "Xiyu, have you never thought about what if he leaks these plans?"

When Xu Xiyu heard this, he stopped, turned to look at Cheng Yunqing and said with a smile: "Even if he leaks it, what will happen? My situation will not get worse, and maybe it will get worse because of his leak." OK.”

After saying this, he walked quickly towards the movie palace.

Cheng Yunqing looked at Xu Xiyu's back and suddenly burst into laughter. While laughing, he caught up and said, "Hey, have you always been so good at bragging?"

"I never brag. Since I was born on this planet, everything I said has basically come true."

"Good guy, I really should call Ning Tian and Weiwei over here, especially Weiwei, she will definitely be happy to compliment you."

"That won't work. If there's an accident, won't our group be wiped out in one fell swoop? We need to spread out. When Weiwei and I stay together in the future, you and Brother Tian should stay away from us. It's safer this way."

"Hahahaha, this reason is really new." Cheng Yunqing laughed again after hearing this. She felt more and more that Xu Xiyu was really interesting.

On the other side, those who also find it really interesting are the viewers who are watching "The Intouchables".
