Chapter 265 Closing Ceremony (4200+ chapters, please subscribe~)

The day before the closing ceremony, Zhou Qiang found Wu Jianye again, and the Venice Film Festival notified the crew members of "Raise the Red Lantern" to attend the closing ceremony.

This is actually telling Wu Jianye and others that "Raise the Red Lantern" has won an award. This is also the unspoken rule of the three major European film festivals. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if the film won an award and the main creators left Venice.

Tian Zhuangzhuang and others gathered in Wu Jianye's room, looking very happy.

"This time, I want to see what those people can say after returning to China!" Zhao Fei couldn't help shouting.

In the past two days, because of Sun Jiarui's incident, everyone was not in a good mood. The good mood when they first came to Venice was missing, and it was a bit heavy.

Tian Zhuangzhuang came to Wu Jianye's side, showing a relieved expression.

"Okay, if you can win the prize this time, even if someone wants to deal with you after returning to China, it's time to weigh it!"

Among the domestic winners at the three major European film festivals before, in Wu Jianye's memory, only "Under the Bridge" written by himself won the special award at the Venice Film Festival, and nothing else.

If "Raise the Red Lantern" really wins the prestigious award at the Venice Film Festival, then Wu Jianye's reputation in China will rise immediately, and he can directly be compared with famous domestic directors.

There is no doubt that the country has just started to develop at this time, and foreign awards are extremely valued, or it can be said that the situation in the whole country is like this now. Chinese people who have been suppressed for nearly a hundred years urgently need to be recognized by the outside world.

Under such circumstances, if Wu Jianye won the award, his status can be imagined.

Then it will not be so easy for Sun Jiarui to deal with Wu Jianye again.

Wu Jianye smiled and didn't say anything. At this time, he was very excited. Although this movie won the Silver Lion Award in another time and space, it didn't happen this year after all. After all, this movie appeared several years in advance In front of the TV audience, Wu Jianye was not sure whether everyone would recognize it or not.

Wu Jianye's excitement is not because he needs to be recognized by the outside world, but because he needs to have this status. At this time, he feels more and more the gap in status and the shackles brought to him. Many times he dances with shackles , especially the Sun Jiarui incident that happened this time, he doesn't like this feeling very much.

Jingle Bell!
At this time, the phone in Wu Jianye's room rang.

After Wu Jianye connected the phone, he said a few words, then put down the phone, and then said to Tian Zhuangzhuang, "You guys talk first, I have something to do, go out for a while!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang nodded, and asked worriedly: "Do I need to stay with you?"

Wu Jianye shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's okay, don't worry, I'll be back in a while!"

Wu Jianye did not leave the hotel, but turned around and went upstairs, stopped in front of a suite, the door was unlocked, he pushed the door and walked in.

Linda was wearing a simple stand-neck sweater and slacks, and sat on the sofa a little tiredly. After seeing Wu Jianye, she stood up.

"What's the matter, I have to fly to Venice overnight, the United States is now the most critical time."

Wu Jianye said nothing with a calm face, went straight to the sofa and sat down.

Then he opened his mouth and said, "Are the funds ready?"

Linda saw that Wu Jianye's expression was not good, so she didn't complain any more, but sat opposite Wu Jianye: "I'm ready, but do you really want to do this?

There are still some differences in the foreign exchange market and the stock market. There is a saying in the foreign exchange market that unless you are sleeping with the president of the Swiss Bank, no one dares to say that you can go smoothly in the foreign exchange market.

It was already a very bold act for you to use all your wealth to make empty Hong Kong dollars before, but now you want to use leverage, I have to say, this is really crazy, even if the numbers behind the decimal point change , your losses are enough to make you jump off the Empire State Building! "

Before Wu Jianye was just preparing to let himself earn some pocket money during the Hong Kong dollar turmoil, but after what happened two days ago, Wu Jianye deeply felt that he still had too few bargaining chips in his hands, and he needed more funds to speed up his efforts. Therefore, at this time, he has the plan to use leverage to make a fortune in the Hong Kong dollar storm.

After he told Linda about the plan, Linda expressed strong opposition on the phone. As many people know, changes in the foreign exchange market are more unpredictable than changes in the stock market. Now Wu Jianye Even to use 20 times the leverage.

You must know that if Wu Jianye really used it, then the funds involved would be as high as nearly 20 billion US dollars. How could such a huge amount not make Linda crazy.

Wu Jianye sat there and said expressionlessly: "What I need is not your opinion, but your obedience. I just ask if you can do it!"

Linda nodded helplessly: "You are the boss, so you can do what you say!"

Wu Jianye: "As long as it can be done, remember, when the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the U.S. dollar reaches 9.45:1, throw it away immediately!"

Linda doesn't know how Wu Jianye analyzed the exchange rate, but now she seems to have seen Wu Jianye's expression when he dealt with Kerry Company when he first arrived in the United States, knowing that he has made up his mind and understands what he is talking about It's useless!
"Ok, I see!"

"After this matter is over, I want you to immediately set up a film production company in Hollywood!" Wu Jianye told Linda the reason why she flew to Venice this time.

"Are you going to come to Hollywood to develop?" Linda's first reaction was that Wu Jianye decided to go to Hollywood.

Wu Jianye shook his head, and said: "I won't go to Hollywood now, but I am useful to this company. Remember before Wang Zhen and others, they have been in Africa for more than half a year. , a year and a half later, I need them to make an animated movie for me!"

Linda still didn't keep up with Wu Jianye's train of thought: "That's one and a half years later, why set up a film production company now?"

Wu Jianye was in his pocket, took out a cigarette, tapped the table with the cigarette holder, and then lit it, "I will give you a movie script when you leave, and after the Hong Kong dollar matter is over, you will be in Hollywood immediately." Prepare the film crew, the film is an ordinary family movie, so it won't be too difficult to shoot, I want you to release it during the New Year in the United States, is there any problem?"

Linda didn't change her expression because Wu Jianye was smoking in front of her. After thinking for a while, she suddenly said, "I want to take a stake in this movie company!"

Wu Jianye looked at Linda, "You want to buy shares? Do you trust me so much?"

Linda nodded firmly: "I don't believe in you, but I believe in all your previous achievements. Since I met you, I found that almost everything you do is successful. There is a saying in the United States that always follows success." Human steps!"

Wu Jianye finally smiled: "I haven't heard of such a saying in America."

Linda: "It's not important. What's important is that I want to invest in this film company. I believe you also know about our family's relationship in Hollywood. Without the help of our family, even a newly established film company, after filming, would like to It is also very difficult to release it in North America, and it is still in the New Year's schedule."

Wu Jianye knew that Linda was in charge of almost all of his current business in the United States. He never believed that Linda would be so loyal to him. It was all because of interests that made the two of them cooperate very well until now. good.

Now Linda wants to take a stake in the film company, also for profit.

Benefits are the most reliable cooperative relationship!
"Okay, I agree, but I can only give up 20% of the shares, and the registered capital of this company will reach 3000 million U.S. dollars. If you have no problem with the funds, I agree to your shareholding!" Wu Jianye said .

Linda didn't even think about it, she just nodded and said, "Okay, then according to the original method, your shares are directly held by Shanhai Investment Company?"

"Not bad!"

Seeing that Wu Jianye agreed to her proposal, Linda stood up with a smile on her face, opened a bottle of champagne in the room, and when two glasses arrived, she handed Wu Jianye a glass, and said with a smile, "Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Afterwards, the two discussed the details of the entertainment company, such as hiring a professional manager, and also decided on a name for the film company, Phantom Entertainment!
It's just that when talking about the last decision, there was a disagreement between Linda and Wu Jianye.

"Now that a film company has been established, our main job at this stage is to produce excellent films, rather than directly involve in distribution. You should know that the distribution of Hollywood films is firmly controlled by the Big Six. We haven’t achieved the slightest achievement yet, if we rashly get involved in the publishing business, we will easily be targeted by the Big Six, and then we will lose more than we gain!”

Wu Jianye meant that the production and distribution should be carried out together, but Linda disagreed with this. In her opinion, if you only produce one or two excellent movies, the Big Six will not say anything, but if the head It's the lifeblood of Hollywood's Big Six, and they have to fight you hard.

Wu Jianye thought about it for a while, and knew that he was a little eager for success by Sun Jiarui, "Well, let's make movies first, but we can only focus on those independently produced movies and art movies for distribution. They shouldn't say anything, after all, they didn't put much thought into this!"

Independently produced films in Hollywood mean low profits, high risks, and extremely high market sensitivity. The Big Six don't care too much about such thankless things.

Linda thought for a while and said, "Okay, I will try to operate it when I return to the United States, but if I find something wrong, I will immediately withdraw from the distribution business. After all, we are just a small film company, and The six majors have gone through decades of development, we must be careful!"

Wu Jianye also knew that Linda was doing it for the good of the company, so he smiled and agreed to Linda's proposal!

The two talked late into the night on specific details.

When it was over, the bottle of champagne had already been drunk. Linda's complexion was flushed at this time, and there was a trace of spring in her eyes.

"The weather on Lido Island is really strange. I didn't expect it to be so hot in the middle of the night." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Wu Jianye with a wink and said with a smile: "I'm going to take a bath, my big boss. Don't be together!"

Linda was slightly drunk, but Wu Jianye was sober. He knew that it wasn't that Linda fell in love with him at all, it was just that Linda wanted to relax with the help of alcohol.

If it was in the past, Wu Jianye wouldn't say anything, anyway, he didn't have any loss, but now he remembered that the clouds are rolling and the clouds are relaxing, the stars are dense and the stars are sparse, and there are flowers blooming and falling.

"I'm a gentleman!" Wu Jianye joked, got up and left.

Looking at Wu Jianye's back, Linda curled her lips, said nothing, and went to take a bath by herself.

On September 9th, the closing ceremony of the Venice Film Festival!
The closing ceremony of the Venice Film Festival means the end of the three major European film festivals this year. The first of the three major European film festivals is the Berlin Film Festival. Originally, the Berlin Film Festival was held in June and July, but later In order to compete with the Cannes Film Festival.

In 78, the film festival was held in February every year.

After the Berlin Film Festival, it will be the most well-known Cannes Film Festival in China, which will be held in May every year.

Finally the Venice Film Festival!
As the soon-to-be award-winning crew of "Raise the Red Lantern", it is natural to walk on the red carpet.

Wu Jianye and the others waited behind, watching the crews in front of them walking the red carpet in an orderly manner, and there were constant clicking sounds in their ears.

Compared with the ostentation of the opening ceremony, the closing ceremony was very low-key, but the gorgeous figures still dazzled the red carpet. Although there were no Hollywood actress embellishments, it also gave many small stars from other countries the opportunity to show their charm .

However, when Maruschka Dietmars, who was wearing a beige deep V suspender dress, appeared on the stage, she still overwhelmed the crowd. Dietmars has been photographed by countless media people.

"what!"

"Kakkaka!"

"Maruschka Ditmus!!"

The atmosphere at the scene was completely ignited, and countless movie fans shouted the name of "goddess" hysterically.

Maruschka Dietmars stood gracefully on the red carpet, waving to fans, her elegant and calm attitude made people crazy.

Fang Shu and Li Xiaoli were standing at the place waiting to enter the arena, watching Maruschka Dittmas' posture, they couldn't help feeling envious.

Wu Jianye scratched his head boredly. This kind of red carpet show really didn't impress him at all. The red carpet without the participation of Sophie Marceau, the queen of the red carpet, was really boring.

Many domestic media people in the later generations are complaining about how long domestic stars occupy the red carpet when they participate in international film festivals. They don't know that the predecessor in this regard is Sophie Marceau, who has been praised by the Chinese for a long time.

Sophie Marceau's behavior is much more advanced. It doesn't take long for her to kill all the films in an instant as long as she is a little careless and the shoulder strap slips off.

Wu Jianye once wondered why Sophie Marceau's shoulder straps always fall off when walking the red carpet
Out of curiosity, it was time for Wu Jianye and others to walk on the red carpet.
