Chapter 581: Bundled with Macron and updated to version 2.0
"House of Cards"
Xiang Yang is familiar with this name.
But unfortunately, he hasn’t really watched the TV series adapted from this novel.
Because I don’t have a cold.
What troubles him, however, is not the popularity of this well-produced, critically acclaimed series.
On the contrary, the American drama "House of Cards" is a bit sensitive.
Little John didn’t care at all.
Under Bea Shaffer’s disgusted gaze, he took the book in his hand with a smile, looked at it twice, and joked to his friend:
“It turns out that David Finn Qi is talking about this novel.”
"." Xiangyang felt that Little John was talking nonsense again.
If not, why did Bea Shaffer buy it back?
Want to collect it?
“Let me think about it.” Little John, who seemed to be familiar with these three novels, scratched his hair.
After thinking for a moment, under the strange looks of Xiang Yang and Bei Shaffer, he suddenly smiled and said: "If he wants to develop this TV series, I can help him find a consultant."
"Find a consultant?" Xiangyang was speechless. What other ideas would this guy have?
"Yes." Little John raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Macron, isn't he just a consultant? Wouldn't it be nice to have another part-time job?"
After that, He also raised his eyebrows at Xiang Yang with a smile, "What do you think?"
"I"
Xiang Yang, who was a little unresponsive to the question, blinked.
Let Macron serve as a consultant for "House of Cards", and then bring in Berlusconi's son to invest together.
Uh.
No, no, it doesn't seem like this can't be done this way.
Seeing Xiang Yang's interested smile, Little John smacked his lips and said:
"I estimate that if you want to restore the content revealed in this book to the greatest extent, the amount of investment Not small, and”
After glancing at Xiang Yang, Little John rolled his eyes and seemed to have an idea.
For this matter, we need to get Disney’s Catherine and others to join the team.
Listening to his well-founded analysis, the cautious Xiang Yang agreed with his point of view.
But you must bring in more people to smooth the relationship.
Additional knife stop.
No matter how well Hermès develops in film and television investment, it is still different from ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, HBO, etc. that specialize in film and television production.
"I just said, if you leave the matter to me, it will be reliable." Little John took the opportunity to start talking again.
"Okay, then just do it according to my ideas."
Xiang Yang didn't argue, but one sentence set the tone.
No matter how much little John jumps around, he can’t escape from my hand.
"???" Little John hesitated, wanting to argue.
What is your idea?
Obviously that’s what I thought.
But just when he was about to refute his friend, he suddenly thought of what he had talked to Xiangyang before Bei Shaffer came, and he closed his mouth again in confusion.
No matter how the two of them quarrel.
Little John knew one thing very well.
Xiang Yang would not lie to him.
That is to say, it is a certainty that some businesses of CFT and T.J need to be split and reorganized into the soon-to-be-established departments.
And Xiangyang has the power to directly hire professional managers to take care of it.
That means that this department will still be under the responsibility of HYS.
"What are you looking at?" While thinking, he noticed that Bea Shaffer was looking at him with disdain. Little John hardened his temper and opened his mouth and said:
"After you, I am also a member of HYS. According to my rank, I He's your superior."
"Well," Bea Shaffer raised the corner of her mouth and said slowly: "I pay my salary alone, so even if you come to HYS, you can't control me. ."
"."
Little John frowned.
This is really boring to say.
"Okay, stop arguing, I'm going back to the house." Xiangyang glanced at the two of them, picked up the book and stood up.
"Shaffer, call me when you leave for Milan in the afternoon. In addition, Mr. Ding can help keep an eye on it."
"Don't worry, Boss." Bi Schaffer nodded, " I've handed it over to Annabelle."
"Okay, okay."
Xiang Yang, who had great trust in his assistant's ability to work, smiled and walked towards the elevator with light steps.
Little John saw that he was leaving as soon as he asked, and he did not want to hang out with the old devil's daughter.
Without saying anything, he raised his butt and chased after her.
“You pay for the meal.”
Before leaving, he didn’t forget to retaliate to the person who chatted to death.
The news that Chinese-language films were well received at the Venice International Film Festival spread back to China not long after.
In addition, there has been a series of good news such as the Toronto Film Festival's "The Piano" being purchased by Hermès Film Investment Company.
Many filmmakers couldn’t help but sigh after seeing it.
What happened at this juncture of gold, nine and silver is definitely not a coincidence.
But if you say it is not a coincidence, it will inevitably make people think too much.
After settling Wu Baige's matter, Han Sanping received a call from China. Although he didn't say much, he still fully affirmed his work.
This made him extremely happy.
"Mr. Han, the flight ticket has been booked with you." Zhang Qian couldn't help but feel a little happy when he saw Han Sanping's face showing joy.
"Okay, then you wait for me to pack my clothes, and then we check out." Han Sanping smiled and nodded.
The film festival is important.
But the outcome had been decided, and he felt he had no reason to stay any longer.
Next, whether it’s ‘China Week’, the National Day festival or the Tokyo Film Festival, he will be busy enough.
I stay outside
"Xiao Zhang, has Zhang Mouzi's movie been released?" Han Sanping asked seemingly casually.
“It was released over the weekend.”
"How are the results?"
"The box office is good, but" Zhang Qian organized his speech.
Logically speaking, "Hawthorn Tree Love" did very well at the weekend box office, and its first week box office performance could even touch the 50 million threshold.
It can be said that it has been the box office champion of literary films in the past ten years.
But compared to Zhang Mouzi's previous bad movie "Three Guns", which exceeded 100 million in box office in its first week, or the "Inception" that is currently in theaters.
The gap is still quite big.
And this is precisely a major problem that the domestic film market has been facing since the opening up.
Artistic films are praised but not praised.
What was the name of the last literary film that broke 30 million box office?
Few people remember.
It's also Zhang Mouzi's movie, "Riding Alone, Thousands of Miles".
“There is a long way to go.” After listening to Zhang Qian’s report, Han Sanping frowned and sighed.
Do Chinese-language films need art films?
Of course.
Especially art films that are often included in art films.
Compared with genre films, art films are films that explore the boundaries of image expression and try to explore new styles, new languages, new concepts, and new techniques for film art.
They are the basis for rich genre films.
Without predecessors planting trees and exploring the style, concepts, techniques and language of lens language, what did Nolan use to shoot "Inception"?
And to put it bluntly.
Without art films, genre films are nothing more than a set of single and rigid models, a visual feast created under a powerful industrial system.
After seeing too much, that’s it.
However, according to Han Sanping, what Chinese-language films now lack even more is the foundation of heavy industry films. The market is enthusiastic about heavy industry films, and capital is eager for returns from heavy industry films. Chinese-language films themselves.
Chinese-language films, of course, need to master the new technological innovations of heavy industry films.
Otherwise, why open our own film market to Hollywood?
Isn’t it just to provide a more convenient space and platform for communication and learning, so that more Chinese filmmakers have the opportunity to participate?
“I almost forgot one thing.”
Suddenly slapping his forehead, Han Sanping felt a little more tired of the unpleasantness in the morning. He said to Zhang Qian:
"Look at the time, I'm going to see Marco Muller. If it's too late, postpone the flight."
"Okay, Mr. Han." Zhang Qian nodded quickly, "Then Here, you leave it to me.”
Han Sanping nodded and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
The Beijing International Film Festival was established with the purpose of creating a better welcome for domestic film creation.
And how to run a film festival well.
Film festival directors like Marco Muller have extremely rich experience.
Invite and recommend him to serve as a consultant for the first Beijing International Film Festival. Han Sanping still has this responsibility and power.
Moreover, the content of the first session is still being discussed.
But finalizing the return of director Xie Jin is not a big problem.
Marco Muller admires and loves the work of director Xie Jin, and he will not refuse it.
"Haha, my dear Han."
As expected by Han Sanping, when he met Marco Muller with sincerity, he said what he had prepared.
Marco Muller's eyes lit up, "I have no reason to refuse you."
"As long as there is a formal invitation, there will be absolutely no problem on my side." After inviting Han Sanping to sit down with a smile , personally finding a box of tea leaves from the drawer, he added:
“But, as for how to hold a good film festival,” spreading his hands, Marco Muller said sarcastically:
“As you have seen, I am still in the process of learning.”
“Marco, please stop being modest.”
"I didn't."
Going to the sofa, Mark Muller sat down and shook his head and laughed at himself:
"You also saw what happened this morning. A successful film festival, It is difficult to make a successful event and satisfy all parties, especially when faced with external pressure. "This matter really puts you in a difficult position." Han Sanping sighed empathetically.
It is said that overseas film festivals are fair, just and open.
I wish that any award was uncontroversial.
But in the final analysis, it is no different from domestic film festivals.
Just like this year's Venice Film Festival, is there any controversy about Rising to the Sun?
There must be some.
But the real focus of controversy is not Xiang Yang, but Quentin Tarantino, the chairman of this year’s jury.
After becoming famous, Sofia Coppola entered the main competition with her new work "Somewhere", but the response after the premiere was mediocre.
Quentin Tarantino tried to promote an award for her.
It is said that when promoting a virtuous person, do not avoid relatives.
But you and your rumored girlfriend shouldn’t be too blatant.
Moreover, Monte Herman's "Nowhere to Escape" was shortlisted for the competition section, which also attracted a lot of doubts.
If it weren't for Xiangyang's affairs, he would have interfered.
When it comes to the closing award ceremony, it is hard to say whether there will be awards on stage. There were boos in the audience.
"So, I am very grateful to the Ministry of Culture for taking the decision directly this time." Marco Muller laughed and said:
"But Mr. Han, I will give you an idea. You can For reference.”
“You said.”
"Although national conditions are different, I think film festivals in Beijing should put more effort into brand sponsorship. A good main sponsor can bring far greater benefits to the film festival than sponsorship fees."
“You mean”
Han Sanping muttered.
This is quite to the point.
For a long time, neither Xiang Yang nor Liu Qianqian responded to their letters.
He was getting a little impatient while waiting.
After figuring out the twists and turns, Han Sanping smiled enthusiastically and said: "Marco, when the time comes, I will send you an invitation as a consultant. Don't refuse."
"Drink tea first, drink tea first"
The other end.
Little John, who returned to the room, was not idle either.
Macron is also a very busy man.
After making several phone calls, Macron complained before he could say hello: "Little John, if you are not here, our team will not have enough people."
"Haha. , I can rush back right away." Little John, who instantly felt his importance, felt that this guy still knew something.
Find him a job yourself and let him make some extra money without losing money.
However, after he was happy, Little John put on airs and bossed Macron around and said:
"Then I am the CEO after all, so I can't compete with you."
When Macron heard this, he simply said: "If you are fine, I will die."
"No, I'm busy. Xiang and I need your help. I wonder if you have time?" Little John smiled and raised the banner.
"Are you following me?" Macron frowned in confusion.
He didn't have time to fly to Italy to meet these two people.
There were also local reports about Venice in France. He glanced at them and knew that these two people had made quite a splash.
With the arrogance in his bones
"Xiang this guy, can't you take me with you when you go to see Berlusconi? Don't expect me to pass the ball to him next time you play!"< br>
"Well, there is a TV series that needs a consultant. I discussed it with Xiang. Among the people we know, you are the only one who has experience in politics." Little John explained.
"Haha." Macron snorted disdainfully.
Berlusconi is an evergreen tree in Italy and the current commander-in-chief.
And, this is what I said.
It’s like Xiang Yang and Little John don’t know Sarkozy.
"That relationship is different." When Little John heard this, he said decisively:
"What is your relationship with us?"
"Lao Bei and Lao Sa want to play football with us, are we taking him to play?"
"I'm telling you, Xiang is very afraid of causing you trouble and is too embarrassed to talk to you, so I'd better give it to you." You fought for it just so that you can better integrate into our small group in front of us in the future.” Fooling.
This is all leftover from his play.
Seeing that he disagreed, Little John was a little unhappy and said bluntly: "Then don't say it, we won't take you to play in the future."
"Let me think about it." Macron took a deep breath, "But let me make it clear to you first. I am not chasing money, and I don't want to be a full-time screenwriter. I am doing it for our friendship."< br>
“I know, I know, you like to be a consultant.”
“Who likes to be a consultant?”
Little John was stunned: “You!”
"."
After hanging up the phone, Macron suppressed his discomfort.
Sooner or later, I will get rid of the title of ‘consultant’.
No, I should climb up.
When I succeed, I must give Xiangyang and Little John the title of 'consultant' each.
"What's wrong with you?" Brigitte saw his gesture. So, he asked very strangely.
"Nothing, I have something to ask you."
With a smile on his face, Macron explained.
He was still very satisfied with what Little John said just now.
But he felt that Xiang should have troubled himself more.
