Chapter 468: Drawing fire under the cauldron
ear.
Lu Qanyao's singing continues.
"Dan Ge Xing" is a song from "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", and its arrangement has quite an ancient charm. It is not comparable to those "ancient folk songs", and its lyrics are directly derived from Li Bai, which is not unattractive.
Of course, the most important thing is that this kind of arrangement is suitable for shows. Some songs are nice to listen to, but they are not suitable for background music for catwalk shows.
In fact, there is another song that Xu Xiyu likes more and whose arrangement is more suitable, called "Qing Ping Le·Forbidden Court Spring Day".
However, considering the meaning of the lyrics of this song, it is not appropriate.
Therefore, Xu Xiyu only copied this song "Dan Ge Xing".
As for other Chinese-style music, they were all produced by Blue Star’s local team. He can't take out everything he knows. If he takes out too much, he won't have to pay out next time.
"The day is so short, but a hundred years of suffering; the sky is vast, and the eons are so long..."
Listening to the song, Xu Xiyu said to Nancy: "Please tell me, thank you for the invitation, I will consider it."
When Saburo Inoue heard this, he said with the iconic Japanese politeness: "Xu Sang, I have admired Chinese culture since I was a child. Unfortunately, I am not smart enough, and the Chinese language is too broad and profound.
Therefore, I failed to learn Chinese, but this does not hinder my love for Chinese culture. Today, after seeing such a wonderful performance, I really couldn't contain my excitement.
I want the people of our country to appreciate this unique skill from a big country, so please agree, please! ”
Saying that, Inoue Saburo actually made a ninety-degree bow towards Xu Xiyu.
This scene made both Mao Gaojun and Qi Xiangyang frown.
Especially Mao Gaojun, who works for Lynn Capital, and his largest financial backer comes from Wall Street.
So, his English is quite good.
And Saburo Inoue speaks English. After all, if he speaks Japanese, no one here can understand it, and Nancy can't translate it.
Seeing that Saburo Inoue was so polite to Xu Xiyu, Mao Gaojun had a lot of thoughts.
But he didn't interrupt, just watched quietly.
Soon, Nancy translated again. Xu Xiyu heard the words and replied: "I'm really sorry, I really can't give you an answer."
Saburo Inoue nodded when he heard this, smiled and changed the subject: "Actually, the reason I came here this time is to appreciate the culture of a big country;
Secondly, I really want to meet Xu Sang. To be honest, I am a fan of your movies and I like your works very much. Therefore, I also want to talk to you about the agency of works.
I hope to be able to introduce your works to Japan for screening and other development, especially the new works you are currently producing. ”
This is naturally nonsense. He never thought of introducing Xu Xiyu's works in the first place. This was a temporary idea.
However, although the idea came up temporarily, the subsequent operation method has been verified countless times.
Why is he highlighting the new work being produced?
Because the works being produced are easier to intervene. Since you plan to enter the Japanese market, you can't publicly do something that hurts the emotions of the Japanese audience, right?
Furthermore, in order to achieve better results in the Japanese market and other markets that Japan can influence, do you want to slightly increase content that is friendly to Japanese audiences?
Moreover, you have added Japan-friendly content. In return, we hope to express financial support to you.
As the saying goes, one step at a time, one step at a time, once you accept the investment, some things will be hard to say.
Anyway, this is how Europe and Hollywood domesticated Chinese practitioners.
Unfortunately, China's entertainment industry did not take advantage of China's market and went back to domestication.
Of course, part of the reason is because the audience doesn't recognize it.
Hollywood will produce "special edition" content, but some viewers do not support this behavior and feel that it is "being flattered because of money."
In fact, in the long run, we should support the special edition and ask them to provide more.
When the amount of special content in a movie reaches a certain limit, for the sake of cost considerations, they will not shoot two sets of content, and the special version will become the global version.
Xu Xiyu naturally understands this kind of routine.
Therefore, when Saburo Inoue said that he wanted to communicate about the cooperation of the work, he still made an excuse and said: "We will discuss this in detail when we have the opportunity. This is not the place to talk about it."
"Then I'll visit your company another day." Saburo Inoue heard this and didn't bother too much. He just bowed slightly and replied.
After speaking, he looked at Nancy and said, "Miss Walton, I'm done talking about my business."
Hearing this, Nancy turned to Xu Xiyu and said, "Xu, I think I'd better take a stroll by myself and take a look. If you have nothing else to do, Inoue and I will leave first."
"In that case, Lao Qi and I will also say goodbye." Mao Gaojun then said.
"Guys, go slowly." Xu Xiyu didn't try to stop him.
Hearing this, Mao Gaojun nodded to Nancy again, then lifted his legs and walked out.
Seeing this, Nancy also walked away with Saburo Inoue.
When they reached the door, the red-haired foreign pony hanging at the end of the team finally showed his true nature. He gave Xu Xiyu a wink behind everyone's back and then walked out.
Seeing the door being closed, Xu Xiyu turned to look out the window again, lost in thought.
A few minutes later...
Mao Gaojun, who had exchanged contact information with Nancy and Saburo Inoue, took Qi Xiangyang to a deserted place to communicate.
"Tell me, why did Xu Xiyu leave us to watch this show, to show off that he can eat well in front of Americans and Japanese?" Qi Xiangyang asked doubtfully.
"No, why do I think he hopes that we can hook up with Inoue?" Mao Gaojun shook his head.
"Hooking up? Hooking up to deal with him?" Qi Xiangyang was almost happy.
"That Inoue and Nancy might be from some messy organization." Mao Gaojun said thoughtfully. As soon as these words came out, Qi Xiangyang understood.
He frowned: "This grandson named Xu is planning to trick us again? If there is a problem with the identity of Nancy and that little devil, wouldn't it be easy for us to get into trouble if we hook up with them?"
"Yes! That's what I'm worried about, especially me. I haven't washed myself thoroughly yet. If I go in again, it will be really troublesome.
So, again, let’s do our own thing and don’t be fooled. Besides, I have American capital behind me, so there is no need to pay attention to these two things that popped up from nowhere. ”
Hearing this, Qi Xiangyang nodded, and then said: "Do you think Xu Xiyu will believe those two movies?"
"I will definitely believe it. Hua Qing was originally planning to vote for "Huasheng Stewed Meat Shop 2", but was later rejected. With this background, Xu Xiyu will definitely pay attention to "The Demon Fox of the Tang Dynasty".
With his character, he had no choice but to start a comedy project to compete with "Huasheng Stew Shop 2". Set up another project to compete with "The Demon Fox of the Tang Dynasty".
Chen Shengle has been making one bad movie after another in recent years, so it's okay to be a producer, but he really has no ability to be a director.
Xu Xiyu would never have imagined that our real main investment projects were the other two. Of these two movies, one has nothing to do with us, and the other is used to wash away the box office.
Hua Qing can only do a limited number of self-made projects every year. If there is a fight, he will never win. Manpower, funds, channels, he can't win anywhere. "Mao Gaojun said with a proud smile on his face.
"But what if he is stubborn?"
"You don't want to be stubborn? You don't have to be stubborn. Comedy is Hua Qing's strength. "The Annual Party Can't Stop" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City" combined have grossed nearly 6 billion in box office.
Starring Wang Pengpeng, he already has a certain reputation. If he gives up comedy in this round of projects because he doesn't want to compete with "Washington Stew Shop 2", it would be equivalent to cutting off an arm, which is also a good thing for us. ”
"Hehe, let this grandson also have a taste of the east and west." Qi Xiangyang burst into laughter.
Happy, he looked at the Hanfu show venue again and continued: "How should we treat this National Culture Festival?"
"You have to think about it, you have to think about it carefully..." Mao Gaojun began to think thoughtfully.
On the other side, Nancy is also asking the same question: "What are you going to do if Xu Xiyu finally doesn't agree to arrange for people to perform in Japan?"
Hearing this question, Jing glanced at Nancy and said calmly: "Ms. Walton, those performing guests are not Xu Xiyu's subordinates.
They are free people, so if Xu Xiyu doesn't agree, I will bypass him and directly invite them to perform in Japan.
Not only that, I also plan to invite all the inheritors of intangible cultural heritage here to go to Japan for cultural exchanges. I think they will be willing to go international. ”
After saying this, a smile appeared on his face.
The National Culture Festival needs the support of these intangible cultural inheritors. If Xu Xiyu does not intend to cooperate, then he will directly remove the salary from the bottom of the cauldron.
You only need to deal with some of the inheritors, and you can still cause trouble for the "National Style Cultural Festival". It is nothing more than a matter of spending money.
After hearing this, Nancy frowned slightly. She was wondering whether she should tell Xu Xiyu these things.
Inoue naturally noticed Nancy's expression, so the smile in his eyes deepened.
Ever since Nancy said she had Xu Xiyu's phone number, Inoue became wary of Nancy.
Even when he was defensive, he was willing to tell the truth about this plan. He had only one purpose, which was to give Xu Xiyu a sense of urgency through Nancy's mouth.
Without some pressure, how could Xu Xiyu seriously consider it?
Inoue was not stupid and knew that Xu Xiyu was dealing with him just now.
Thinking of this, he said deliberately: "Miss Walton, I don't know how close you are to Xu Sang, but please don't tell him my plan just now, please!"
After saying that, there was another 90-degree bow.
When Nancy heard this, she instantly made up her mind: she had to tell Xu Xiyu.
Just when she was making her decision, her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Mao Gaojun calling.
After being connected, she just said hello when she heard Mao Gaojun say in fluent English: "Nancy, there is something I think may be helpful to you.
Below the window where we were just standing, there was a man holding a mobile phone to broadcast live. His name was Bu Zhaojie, and he was the ex-husband of Xu’s close subordinate.
He is also Xu's right-hand man. This person is very greedy. Perhaps you can communicate with him and I will give you his contact information later. ”
After saying that, Mao Gaojun hung up the phone directly, and then sent her Bu Zhaojie's phone number.
Looking at the phone number on the text message, Nancy fell into thinking again.
At the same time, on the other side, in the side auditorium of the Hanfu show, a foreign woman looked at the horse-faced skirt of Ming Dynasty Hanfu and also fell into thinking.
After thinking about it, she said to the person next to her: "Let's go, there's nothing to see."
"Would you like to observe it no more?"
"No need, the clothes in this show are not for daily use, and may only be worn on certain fixed festivals or occasions. Therefore, this national cultural festival does not pose any threat to us, so don't worry too much." The woman said lightly.
"I also think so. The aesthetic right in this world ultimately lies with us in the West."
I took my child to get vaccinated today, which took some time. Therefore, there will be no more updates today, and updates will be resumed tomorrow.
Otherwise my biological clock will be reversed again, sorry.
