Chapter 393 Acquaintance
"Beijing International Film Festival?"
Han Sanping's words suddenly made Li Chen realize. No wonder Han Sanping is so sensitive.
It turns out that this project is about to be launched.
Han Sanping nodded: "The 'going out' slogan you mentioned is in line with the wishes of the higher-ups."
"I'm not afraid to tell you everything. Bureau Tong and I both proposed that the bureau take the lead and you take charge."
Li Chen refused without thinking.
"Stop it, Director Han. I am young and inexperienced. I can't shoulder this burden. It's okay to support him, but I'm not interested in being a puppet."
Li Chen said it very straightforwardly.
Domestic film festivals are a mess.
At the Magic City International Film Festival the year before last, even a washed-up Sharon Stone was treated as a VIP and enjoyed the clearing treatment on the red carpet.
It’s really off-putting.
This Beijing International Film Festival, if Li Chen remembers correctly, has not been in Category A for more than ten years.
It is useless even if he comes. This is a problem of the general environment.
"Now you know that you are young and ignorant. I see that you don't have any trouble teasing me."
When the puppet said it, Han Sanping didn't care much. What Li Chen said was also true.
For government film festivals, the General Administration is the leader.
Li Chen laughed loudly: "Isn't that just a hasty talk? It seems that you, Director Han, are friendly."
"Stop talking nonsense, do you really want to start a new business in Hong Kong Island? "
Li Chen said funnyly: "What does it mean to start a new business? My roots are in the mainland, how can it be possible?"
"If you don't go to the capital and go to Hong Kong Island, just start a new business?"
"Why are Cannes in France and Venice in Italy more popular than Berlin in Germany?"
Han Sanping was criticized by Li Chen twice. A question stuck.
"Then when are you going to do it?"
Li Chen liked the word "go" very much.
"I'll do it when it's time to do it!"
Han Sanping glared at Li Chen: "Stop looking at me!"
Li Chen laughed: "I'll accumulate a few years first. At least until our film market really heats up."
"More and more of our filmmakers have entered the international stage."
"At that time, no one can ignore it. Us.”
"Only in this way can the resistance be smaller and the chance of success be greater."
Hong Kong Island is the Pearl of the Orient. Both the film system and the general environment are very suitable for hosting an international film festival like Venice.
As for the awards, Li Chen has already thought about it.
Both the Golden Dragon or the Golden Panda awards are awarded. One is a totem representing China, and the other is a national treasure of China.
Listening to Li Chen's talk, it has obviously been brewing for a long time.
"When did you have this idea?"
"From the first day I stepped into this circle, I never thought about making small fuss. You are the Third Master Han of our Chinese movies."< br>
“I, Li Chen, don’t want to just be a little plum in Chinese movies!”
Han Sanping made Li Chen’s blood boil with a few words.
“Look, it won’t take long, maybe next year, our market will quickly exceed 10 billion, 20 billion, 50 billion or even more!”
The two walked in the spacious, bright and resplendent corridor of the Great Hall, followed by their secretaries and assistants.
Han Sanping only felt that the scene at this time and what Li Chen said would probably be something he would never forget.
10 billion next year is more daring than him.
The next day, the grand premiere of "Wushuang" became a hot topic.
Most of the moviegoers, media and film critics gave it positive reviews.
The main creators Liu Weiqiang, Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Andy Lau flew to Japan and South Korea non-stop to attend the premiere.
After that, the last stop is the United States.
The premiere of "Wushuang" at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood attracted the attention of many Hollywood filmmakers and media. This is due to Tim's contribution, and the second is the popularity of "Infernal Affairs" in Europe and the United States.
On the plane back to China, Tony Leung and Andy Lau, and Liu Weiqiang lamented: "When I was promoting "Infernal Affairs", the treatment was incomparable to "Wushuang"."
"Yes, strength determines everything. If you don't go to Hollywood, you won't know the true face of Director Li Lushan." Liu Weiqiang also looked envious.
He is the director of "Infernal Affairs", but not many people know about him.
On the contrary, basically no one knows who the screenwriter of "Wushuang" is.
Andy Lau is also very happy. The premiere of "Wushuang" in North America, Japan and South Korea has been very well received.
Tim told him that with the money offensive of "New Moon", Warner now takes everything about his boss very seriously.
"Warriors" will be screened in more than 800 theaters in the United States for the first time.
Today, Rongchen Pictures has been regarded by Warner as one of the most important overseas partners.
Even Chen Jianshun, the president of Warner Music Greater China, was as respectful to Li Chen as if he were meeting Warner president Richard.
One is because this is the requirement of the head office, and the other is because of the super high returns brought by Liu Yifei, Zhou Xun, Zhang Hanyun and others.
Like a store manager waiting for the leader to patrol the store, Chen Jianshun stood downstairs at Warner Music, leading several senior executives to wait for Li Chen.
"Director Li, these girls you signed are really incredible."
"Song Qian's dancing skills are simply amazing, like a mollusk."
" And Deng Ziqi, although this girl is not tall, her high voice is amazing."
"It is perfect that you choose her to sing "Light Years Away""
Speaking of "Light Years Away", Chen Jianshun is even more elated.
Chen Jianshun flattered Li Chen while introducing Li Chen to the performance of several people during this period.
He is very optimistic about Song Qian and Deng Ziqi, but Yu Kewei doesn't see anything special about them yet.
Song Qian, who was filming the MV, accidentally looked through the glass window and saw people from Warner Bros. outside like stars surrounding her boss.
I was suddenly distracted, and my movements were half a beat slow.
“Crack!”
"Sorry, director, I, I." Song Qian didn't know how to explain.
The director smiled kindly and said: "It's okay, it's okay, let's do it again."
Everyone in the room was not surprised. The reason why the newcomers received such treatment was not because of the word 'honor' head.
The director also caught a glimpse of the big boss who was accompanied by his boss outside, so he was very polite and let everyone take a rest.
At noon, Li Chen specially had a meal with the restless Song Qian, and the person who kept him company was Chen Jianshun.
I didn't expect that Han Geng's matter wouldn't be resolved for a while, and SM could tolerate the transparent Song Qian paying to terminate the contract and leave.
But we cannot let Korean Geng, a popular hot topic, go unchecked.
The lawsuit between the two parties is the same as in the previous life, and it will become a protracted war.
Li Chen couldn't let Song Qian wait any longer just to wait for Han Geng.
“Don’t worry, this is not a big place like South Korea, and Mr. Chen is not Li Xiuman, right Mr. Chen?”
Chen Jianshun quickly smiled and said: "Yes, yes, how can SM be compared with Warner Music, let alone Director Li's Rongchen Pictures."
This is Chen Jianshun's innermost thoughts.
No matter how famous SM is in South Korea, there is no way to compete with Li Chen, a native of the country, even after crossing the Yalu River. He is simply not qualified.
Even Warner Music is willing to play a supporting role, SM is nothing.
"Thank you, boss, and thank you, Mr. Chen, for your cultivation. I will definitely work hard." Song Qian quickly expressed her determination.
Li Chen laughed and said: "It doesn't have to be like this. Your partner will be in place soon. Speaking of which, you are still acquaintances of SM."
Song Qian's heart skipped a beat, and her first thought was that the boss went there again SM is poaching.
I then secretly sighed three times. She was so transparent, she couldn’t even be considered a corner.
A few days later, Song Qian received a call from Zhang Yixin.
It suddenly dawned on me that the old acquaintance the boss was talking about was him.
Yang Siwei contacted Zhang Yixin, who was cheaper than Song Qian, and it only cost 200,000 yuan to terminate the contract.
