Chapter 337: Not promising at all
The two saw Roberts off and went upstairs again.
They were all patient and didn''t laugh at the same time until they got out of the elevator and entered their own floor.
"Xiao Chen, you are so brave to raise a price! I don''t even dare to think about it."
"I really didn''t kill him. With the anti-Japanese wave in the United States, the performance of "Orphans" will definitely not be bad. If he distributes it globally, he will make more money." Chen Qi told the truth.
"No matter what, we have achieved results this year."
Fu Qi had been with him for a long time and had learned some of this speaking pattern. He sighed: "The integration of the left is inevitable, there is no need to disperse anymore!"
"Yes, the superiors will pay more attention to me if I have performance, and I can do more."
"You are back... Hey, Master, what are you so happy about?"
Qiu Shuzhen just ran out, and Chen Qi strode over, took her little hand, and forced her to spin in circles to celebrate: "It''s a good thing, but I won''t tell you, you just have to be happy!"
"Yeah!"
Qiu Shuzhen was whipped several times.
"What''s the matter? Have you agreed?"
Tsui Hark also came out. Chen Qi went over and whispered a few words. Tsui Hark''s eyes widened: "Really?"
"Of course!"
"This, this..."
He grinned, revealing jagged teeth, and his beard curled up.
In Hong Kong, those who are happy with a box office of several million or ten million all know that the overseas market is huge, but the key is not to get out. Since the opening of Hong Kong, only Bruce Lee has become famous.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Chen Qi was so excited that he smiled and said, "No need to say anything. Anyway, I fulfilled my promise to you."
"From now on, you are one of our own, no need to be polite!"
Fu Qi also waved his hand and said: "Where''s Liu Xuehua? Call everyone, it happens to be closing tomorrow, let''s go have a good French meal today!"
…
26th, closing ceremony.
There are not many guests left, and the media is in a hurry.
There are nine people on this year''s jury, most of whom are unknown. One of them is Geraldine Chaplin. You can tell by her last name that she is Chaplin''s daughter.
There is also a man named Gabriel García Márquez.
That''s right, it''s the Colombian writer who wrote "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and "Love in the Time of Cholera." I don''t know what Cannes thought of inviting a writer to be a judge.
This guy will win the Nobel Prize for Literature in October this year, but he hasn’t yet.
He has a very famous joke about China: When Marquez came to China in 1990, he saw pirated copies of his books everywhere, so he made a harsh statement: He would not authorize them to be published in China for 150 years after his death!
However, in 2008, his agent came to China again, and after two months of inspection, he finally authorized it.
Chen Qi had watched "One Hundred Years of Solitude", but before he could finish reading it, he got a headache due to the long list of unpronounceable foreign names in it. And to be honest, he couldn''t stand most of those profound masterpieces, and he was still a common man in essence.
He asked Marquez for an autograph and signed it on the poster of "Orphans". After a few years, these can be put up for auction...
"Best Director: Werner Herzog''s "Upland"!"
"Palme d''Or: "Missing" and "Freedom"!"
The grand prizes were awarded to two movies. The best actor and the best actress were unknown to each other. Chen Qi was drowsy below because they had already received all their little awards: "Orphan" won an unofficial award called the FIPRESCI Award. .
This is awarded by the Film Critics Association to films that are groundbreaking, avant-garde and bold.
"Orphan" uses children to kill people, which is indeed very bold.
Don’t think that Cannes doesn’t differentiate between pork and pork, it does. They only have four fixed awards: Palme d’Or, Best Director, and Best Actor and Actor.
But you can add awards temporarily at will, such as the Grand Jury Prize, the Jury Prize, the Special Jury Prize, the Special Grand Prize... The names are similar and the nature is the same, they are all consolation prizes. Of course, some people will boast that "the jury award is second only to the Palme d''Or", then you are right.
Later generations went even further, with dozens of various awards, and even a "Dog Palm" award, which was specially awarded to dog actors - as long as there are dogs in the movie and there are more shots, you can participate...
Tsui Hark was very excited and couldn''t put it down holding the trophy.
He is the biggest winner this time, no less than he joined the party in 1949!
"Don''t look at it. You''ve already won a small prize, but you finally won the gold horse."
Tsui Hark didn''t understand the topic, so he just said: "Golden Horse removed me from the film, so it doesn''t count. This is recognition from international film critics, and it has a different meaning."
"Our Chinese-language films have only won three awards at Cannes. This is the fourth time. We must promote it." Fu Qi said.
"Of course we have to publicize it, otherwise how can we appear to have gained both fame and fortune and returned with great honor?"
………
New Art City.
Mai Jia was smoking a cigar, the smoke lingering on his bald head, giving him a weird and funny feeling.
"Miss Zhang is here!"
"Please!"
He put the cigar aside and stood up to greet him.
Zhang Aijia was less than 30 years old, with half-long hair and a thin figure. She was pretty when she was young. She entered the room in a hurry, poured herself a glass of water and drank it.
"Go call everyone over!"
Mai Jia ordered anxiously, but she had to wait until she finished drinking.
Soon, Shi Tian, ??Huang Baiming, Teddy Robin, and Zeng Zhiwei all arrived and asked: "How is it? What does the Information Bureau say?"
"Tong Yuejuan returned to Taiwan first and went to the press bureau to file a complaint against you, saying that you were short-sighted, incapable of running a team, fighting against each other, arrogant and greedy for profit, and made Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng alienated and forced them to leave!"
"That''s nonsense!"
"Bitch!"
"If she can''t figure it out, she''ll let us take the blame. If you can, go to the Great Wall Dormitory. Shi Nansheng is right there!"
The five people cursed in unison, and Zhang Aijia pressed her hands: "Forget it, what''s the use of swearing at this time, the key is to solve the problem. The Information Bureau has a good impression of you, and although it is furious, it is willing to give you a chance.
I''ll take you to apologize, put out some wine, and I''ll help you make peace, but you''ll have to shed some blood..."
"This is natural, we have prepared all the donations!"
"Donating money is not enough, you have to take action!"
Zhang Aijia taught me step by step, saying: "First, we must draw a clear line with Tsui Hark and Shi Nansheng. From now on, we will be incompatible with each other. This year marks the President''s Day and Double Ten Day. You should be more positive and let others see your attitude."
Second, make a film suitable for the Taiwan market as soon as possible. The greater your influence in Taiwan, the more important it will be.
Also, the company must be stable and must not be in chaos. Any conflicts must be resolved as soon as possible. Only by surviving this time can we move forward! "
“…”
Zhang Aijia is an outsider, so it is enough to remind her of this. The five of them are all smart people and understand the implication, which is to solve the internal distribution problem as soon as possible and stop causing conflicts.
As a result, Mai Jia rubbed his bald head and said nothing.
Shi Tian pretended not to hear, and Huang Baiming laughed...
Teddy Robin was okay, Eric Tsang laughed awkwardly again with his trademark hey hey hey.
Zhang Aijia was convinced, she deserved to be fucked, she didn''t even want to take any profit from this job, that mainland guy was really right, they were a bunch of short-sighted guys with no future at all!
