Chapter 550: Give me a hand, please!
It doesn't matter if you are stupid.

Just prove it with actual actions.

After the call with Liu Qianqian ended, Xiangyang returned home and sent Liu Qianqian some photos through QQ every now and then.

Either he was coaxing Mu Xin, or he was playing tricks with his bosom friend.

Late at night, he even sent a photo of himself standing in front of a mirror, covered with dew, and added:
"Honey, look, I have a workout today."

"Boring." Liu Qianqian, who never responded, looked unhappy looking at these photos.

Even if she is blind, she can see this kind of pretentious "posing"!
But lying on the bed, Liu Qianqian felt like her heart was being held by the QQ message from Xiangyang, as if it was itching.

It took a lot of effort to resist replying to these messages, and she punched the pillow with her fluffy hair.

It lasted for nearly a minute before she stopped.

Panting heavily, her milky white skin revealed a blush.

"Love brain!"

Because of something that suddenly broke out at the Toronto Film Festival.

Da Wang and Xiao Wang were very depressed.

As the director of "The Great Earthquake", Feng Dapao felt very unhappy.

There are still about three weeks left before the deadline for registration for the 83rd Oscars. He never expected that this accident would come at the wrong time.

Originally, the nominations for "Monga" and "Thieves of Time" from Hong Kong Island and the Bay Area to compete for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film put some pressure on him.

Now this has happened
"Mr. Wang, please forget about it. This film of mine was not originally intended to promote Austria."

Sitting in Wang Zhongjun's office, Feng Dapao began to make amends for himself.

He looked at Wang Zhonglei and said:
"How about I focus more on "If You Are the One 2"? Ge You and Su Qi's schedules are also quite tight."

Wang Zhongjun groaned noncommittally.

But it's hard to say how much sarcasm there was in this laughter.

It was just a feeling of temporary unhappiness.

Today, when he received a call from the film department to inquire about the situation, he vowed to express his position to the department leaders, "We at Huayi strongly recommend "Earthquake" to apply for the Oscars."

Fortunately, in the blink of an eye, the director surrendered first.

How should this be described?

But this displeasure still made Feng Dapao frown.

"Old Feng, I don't mean anything else, don't think too much about it." Wang Zhongjun noticed something strange, sighed and explained:

"I understand your concerns, but I also know the importance of this move to the company. The matter has not been finalized yet, so we have to have more confidence in ourselves."

Feng Dapao nodded, feeling completely clueless.

The feedback received when "The Piano" was screened in Toronto also came back. Although he has not seen the movie, he can still get a glimpse of it by reading the comments.

In his own words, after so many years of filming, if you can't even see this, wouldn't it be in vain?

However, if I want to retreat now, I feel like I can't help myself.

Although Toronto's professional film critics say that the camera language of "The Piano" is too specific, the style of the film and the content of the story are popular.

"The coat of comedy, the core of tragedy", in the cheerful narrative expression, the humor is just right.

This is more evocative than pure tragedy or comedy.

In particular, the era told in the story is a time when foreign film critics are very familiar with Chinese movies - China in the 1980s and 1990s.

But "The Piano of Steel" does not criticize blindly.

He uses a large amount of panoramic space to describe the loss, silence, and struggle of a certain group in the wave of the times, and uses detailed characters to reflect the passion of the protagonist after seeing hope in life and the calm embrace of the "farewell of the times."

Not only will foreign film festival judges like to watch such a movie, but it is also guaranteed to be released domestically and win awards.

The only thing worth discussing is, will domestic audiences buy such a movie?

Of course, Feng Dapao didn't want to worry about other people's movie box office matters, but after a detailed chat, Wang Zhongjun felt that he had grasped a point.

"The Piano of Steel" has not been released in China yet!
Can a film that has not been released be included in the Oscars as a selection film? !

You know, the Oscars are not a film festival.

There is no screening section, just awards.

Therefore, each participating film needs to have prerequisites for public release or screening in the United States (this will only change in 2020). Simply completing the premiere at the film festival will not be enough.

Having caught this loophole, Wang Zhongjun beamed with joy.

He was wondering why the leaders of the film bureau specifically called today to verify whether "Earthquake" was still participating.

It turned out that "The Piano of Steel" was not qualified to participate in the selection.

But as soon as his mood improved slightly, his expression immediately became serious again.

Such a huge loophole can be understood by anyone who has a little knowledge of the process of participating in the Oscars. So why did the stock plummet after this news was reported?

How did that guy named Jean get the confidence to recommend "The Piano" to participate in the Oscars?
Is this just a smoke bomb?
In New York, USA, Yu Dong, who is in the same time zone as Little John, is not in a bad mood at the moment.

Xiang Yang called himself to explain.

Even if the deal fails, the face will be saved.

In this regard, he is much more pragmatic than Han Sanping. After all, as a successful private business owner, he knows very well that some wealth is not something he intends to touch.

The words "Shenzhen Investment and Control" stood in front of me, not to shy away from them.

Besides, how many people in Chinese movies nowadays can hear Xiang Yang apologize?
Counting on his fingers, he felt that it was more than enough to chop off two or three pieces with one hand on the chopping board.

"I wonder what's going on with Mr. Han?"

After feeling proud, Yu Dong calmed down and estimated that life in Han Sanping must be difficult.

Then whether or not to make a phone call to comfort me is a matter that requires patient consideration.

After all, to him, Han Sanping was an old leader even if he was a noble person.

Needless to say about the old leaders, Huaying's position in the industry can directly affect whether Bernard can take a wider path in the future. In this regard, there is no doubt.

And noble people
Without Han Sanping's recommendation at that time, would he have received this call today?

That's absolutely not possible.

But the question is, what attitude and tone should I use to make this call?

After hesitating for a long time, Yu Dong saw that it was almost the time when the banquet usually ended, and Yu Dong had almost made up his mind.

But before he could pick up his phone, there was a "buzzing" vibration on the table.

"Mr. Jean, do you have something to do with me?"

Picking up the phone hurriedly, Yu Dong asked in surprise.

"Mr. Yu, you have heard about the matter, right?" Little John's tone was slightly comforting.

"Uh," Yu Dong nodded and said, "Mr. Xiang has already called me. It is indeed a pity for us at Bernard to lose such a precious opportunity for cooperation."

"Yeah." Little John pursed his lips, "That's why I specifically asked Xiang to call you personally."

Hearing this, Yu Dong opened his mouth in surprise.

This sounds a bit mysterious.

But let’s just say it’s impossible.
After a quick spin in his mind, Yu Dong felt that the relationship between Chong Xiangyang and Mr. Rang was somewhat real.

He quickly thanked: "Mr. Jean, that's really troublesome for you."

"It's not troublesome, this is what you should do." Little John raised his chin.

He wasn't lying.

During the dispute with Xiang Yang, he stated in advance that he would not care about the matter and let his friends handle it on their own.

Finally, Xiangyang took the initiative to call Yu Dong.

I understand that three times five divided by two is the call he asked Xiang Yang to make. Is there a problem?

Anyway, in Laura’s eyes, he felt there was no problem at all.

However, Little John also had his own purpose in making this call. The first was to confirm whether Xiangyang had notified Bernard.

The second point is.
"Mr. Yu, I want to confirm with you. If we want to arrange for "The Piano of Steel" to be released in China as soon as possible, how many cinema lines and screening rooms can your company arrange for us?"

Yu Dong was stunned. Isn't this just a matter of Han Sanping's words?
how
"Mr. Jean, if you need it, all the theaters in Bernard will be able to provide support."

Ignoring the doubts that popped up in his mind, Yu Dong smiled and finished speaking.

As he finished speaking, he felt a little regretful that his mouth was faster than his brain.

It’s not like he hasn’t noticed the debates and reports on the Internet.

But I was negligent for a moment, what should I do?
Yu Dong, who kept blaming himself for why he hesitated not to contact Han Sanping first, scratched his forehead and planned how to talk back to make up time. Little John smiled and said:

"That's okay, as long as Mr. Yu says this. Mr. Han, I'll take care of it."

"Ah, that's it." Yu Dong couldn't help being surprised.

Sure enough, I guessed it right, there is something going on here, and it's not a small matter.

After thinking about it, he still asked with a pinched heart: "Mr. Jean, please ask, are you so anxious to have "The Piano" released in order to catch up with the Oscars?"

On the other end, Little John hesitated for two seconds and said with a smile: "Mr. Yu, you can think so."

"Then I understand."

Yu Dong nodded silently, but his mind was running rapidly.

What should be done so that neither party is offended?
Or more bluntly, what will be the consequences of offending Han Sanping because of this matter? Can Bernard bear this consequence?

It depends on how big the benefit is.

At the moment, the benefits that Hermès Film Investment Company has given Bernard don’t seem to be worth the risk.
Don't look at the recent prosperity of HYS and Hermès Film Investment Company.

But except for content related to the Toronto Film Festival, other things are basically irrelevant to the film industry.

"Okay, I have other matters here. I will contact Mr. Yu after I finish communicating with Mr. Han."

Little John seemed to know that Yu Dong had many concerns, so he emphasized again that he would deal with Han Sanping.

What he wanted was just an attitude from Yu Dong.

"Okay, sir. I'll wait for the good news." Yu Dong found a more cautious word.

"no problem."

Little John smiled, exchanged a few words and hung up the phone.

How to talk to Han Sanping?
After calculating the time, Little John felt that it was too late to leave him alone for a few days, so as to give each other some buffer time to digest.

But he was sitting here, and Han Sanping, who was bothered by Wang Zhonglei, received a call from Wang Zhongjun as soon as the dinner ended.

"You stay up late at night and still think about Oscar. Do you think my life is better than yours?"

After hanging up the phone with a sullen face, he directly asked the accompanying secretary to book a ticket for him to go straight to Paris.

The hotel was too lazy to check out.

He finally saw it.

The two brothers, the eldest and the eldest, have not yet come to their senses.

Now if I stay in this troubled place, I will only be trapped in the situation.

Maybe it will get deeper and deeper.

But after going to Paris, how can I see Xiang Yang?

Knowing that meeting this master would not be as easy as before, he took his cell phone and searched around in his address book, and finally looked at Principal An's name for a long time.

"Brother An, you have to give me a hand."
