Chapter 631: Departing for China Week (Wednesday)
"According to our reporter's understanding, "The Piano" beat "Earthquake" and was unanimously voted to participate in the 83rd Oscars as the inland representative of Chinese-language films."

"After experiencing "The Promise", "House of Flying Daggers", "The Golden Armor" and "Mei Lanfang", the criteria for submission to the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film have once again returned to focusing on the spirit of the times and reflecting the culture of the times. wave."

""The Piano of Steel" tells the story of laid-off workers in the northeastern region of my country who face the cruel reality of life during the reform period, but still have a beautiful mentality, optimistic and positive"

"Previously, Earthquake, which had a higher reputation, was questioned due to its large number of commercial advertisements."

Which comes first, the accident or tomorrow?
On the next day, the major media, without exception, all followed up on the China Week in Paris.

At the 83rd Academy Awards, the selection results of the inland regions were also announced with the help of news.

But what’s surprising is.

In the entertainment industry, the reaction to this result was muted.

Hua Yi, who had previously claimed that "Earthquake" was the outstanding representative of Chinese industrial films, didn't even dare to fart.

Someone even captured a photo of the haggard Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei boarding a flight to the United States early in the morning. It looked like they had not rested the entire night.

Online, it's much more lively.

Especially the movie fans who had spent money on "The Piano" saw that the movie they supported actually surpassed "The Great Earthquake".

It felt as if the official was just their mouthpiece.

Let’s talk about whether the filming of “Big Earthquake” was good or not.

In fact, it is a very good film.

It's a pity that Feng Dapao and Hua Yi have too many "private goods".

There are at least 8 advertisements for liquor, insurance, heavy machinery, cars, sportswear, etc.

But adding these to such a heavy subject is somewhat inappropriate.

So much so that when it was released, some people joked that they were "crying while watching commercials."

In response to such doubts, Feng Dapao initially retorted that advertising will exist for a long time, and the key lies in how well it is integrated with movies.

Now, the answer slaps you in the face.

It’s okay to make a movie that’s not pure, it’s just pretentious.

The official ending will slap you in the face.

"Hey, although "Piano" can go to the Oscars, the spring of art films has not yet arrived. Now the market thinks that box office results are more important."

"Little 2000 million has a good box office, but the subject matter is a bit heavy."

“The key is that young people don’t resonate with it.”

"I am a young man, I can also see it."

"You are in the minority."

"I heard that it will be released soon in Europe and the United States."

"Stop making a fuss, "The Piano of Steel" is going to Tokyo!"

"Oh no, I suddenly discovered! The Oscars are under siege this year."

"Fuck, it's true!"

It's unintentional, but the reality is so strong.

With the confirmation of "Le Piano", the fact that Hermès Film Investment Company's four best films have been nominated for Oscars really makes Little John extremely happy.

He set off early and personally took the Hermès public relations department to Charles de Gaulle Airport.

And people from the Paris Tourist Office.

In addition to them, China's foreign affairs department also appointed some relevant staff.

Principal An is also on the list.

But what concerned him most was the Gaumont executives who co-organized the film exhibition.

With the help of good cooperation between both parties.

"Cinémas" will be screened in a total of 108 Les Cinémas Gaumont Pathés (1076 screens) in France, Belgium, Switzerland, and the Netherlands during China Week.

In the UK, Gaumont also helped contact Odeon, the largest theater chain with 112 theaters.

Counting other miscellaneous items, there are a total of more than 300 cinemas in Europe showing it at the same time.

Although this data and the release time are far inferior to "The Intouchables".

But it was enough to make Little John's inner pride written on his face.

He doesn't have high expectations for the European box office of "Le Piano". As long as it can tie with "Legal Copy", it will be a perfect ending to the year for Hermès Film Investment Company.

In addition, art theaters in North America will also release and release the film.

As for what kind of returns this movie can bring to the company, Little John has no expectations.

Because it has completed its mission.

In just two years, he has achieved fruitful results in film projects that other luxury brands cannot match.

This is enough.

No, not enough!
Thinking about his upcoming trip, Little John still cheers himself up with confidence. He will have to make "The Piano" gain something at the Tokyo International Film Festival.

"what are you laughing at?"

The waiting time is always long. Principal An asked in a low voice after walking through the welcoming team.

"Nothing, I just feel happy that the lovely guy is coming back." Little John was very humble in front of Principal An.

Not only did he have a smile on his face, but he also introduced the most special person in today's team to the senior management of Gaumont.

Upon hearing that he was Xiang Yang's "father-in-law", Gao Meng's executives were also very polite.

None of the Chinese representatives present found this scene strange.

Who knows, Lao An's daughter found him a son-in-law that no one else could find.

"They will land soon, right?" Principal An smiled and nodded.

"It's almost time." Little John raised his wrist and looked at the time.
Although this watch doesn't look new, it has a lot of history.

Arceau, a model inspired by stirrups, was born in 1978 and is of great significance to the Hermès watch series.

It was awarded to him by his father JCE.

Principal An smiled knowingly, this kid is really good at finding opportunities to succeed.

But having said that, it’s not Little John who is not confident.

"Work hard and hope to see you achieve such results next year."

"Then Uncle An must say a few nice words to Xiang for me." Little John joked with a smile.

Principal An remained silent, he would not be fooled.

He doesn't interfere with the children's career matters, and he doesn't have the strength to interfere with their daily life matters.
Regrettably, he glanced sideways at Lai Kang, the representative sent by Huaying not far away. Remembering that he could speak French, he smiled and said:
"Talk to professionals about your professional matters."

Little John followed Principal An's gaze.

He has seen this person before.

Deputy General Manager of Huaying Import and Export Branch, Deputy Manager of Cooperative Production Company.

"What do I have to talk to him about?" Little John pursed his lips. He wanted to go to Huaying to do anything, but he always went directly to the head of Han Sanping.

As for the people below him.

It's hard to talk.

Seeing that he didn't pay any attention to Lai Kang, Principal An frowned. After smiling and apologizing to Gao Meng's senior executives, he pulled Little John away a few steps and whispered:

"This person is more important than Han Sanping."

Little John was already surprised, but when he heard Principal An's words, he became even more puzzled.

Isn't he the deputy? He is also the deputy director of the branch.

"He is also the deputy director of the Film Bureau of Radio and Television."

"???"

"Hey, I can't tell you clearly." Principal An glanced at Little John speechlessly.

What do you think of this position?

The first is in charge of administration, the second is to supervise the production, distribution and screening of all Chinese-language films, and the third is also responsible for reviewing all major domestic film events.

The most important thing is that this person is responsible for foreign co-production, international cooperation and exchange of imported and exported films, etc.

That is
The county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now.

He sometimes speaks, but he's not necessarily any worse than Han Sanping.

What's more, Han Sanping is approaching his age.

Hermès Film Investment Company has developed so well in China, so it will continue to develop without this relationship.

What is sustainable cultural exchange?

Chinese-language films are released in France. Logically speaking, should excellent French films be introduced to China for public release?
He heard some rumors when he attended the meeting.

It is said that it is also possible to organize a French film exhibition at the 2011 film festival in China.

But specifically, he, the little principal, had no way of knowing.

Hearing this, Little John cast his eyes towards Lai Kang with burning eyes. After taking it back, he smiled gratefully at Principal An and said:
"Uncle An, I'll treat you to dinner when I get the chance."

Principal An smiled amiably and patted little John on the shoulder.

There's only so much he can help.

But of course it’s a good thing that Little John invites you to dinner.

There are many good restaurants in Paris, and there are also many performances, which are perfect for cultivating your mood and then having a good meal.

Little John is very good at this.

"It's better than this, me."

Before he finished speaking, Little John happily suggested: "Uncle An, I went to Beijing this time to learn your domestic BBQ, and then I will cook it for you."

"Our domestic BBQ?"

Little John nodded vigorously.

He brought back cumin and chili powder.

I also grabbed a banana fan from the courtyard of Xiangyang's family and used this fan to grill skewers, which was said to be made from palmetto leaves, giving it a unique flavor.

“Isn’t that just skewers?”

After reacting, Principal An looked at Little John in astonishment.

Are you fooling me like this?
But without giving him a chance to refuse, Little John walked back to the executives of Gaumont Pictures and had a brief chat before walking towards Lai Kang.

Staring at his back.

Principal An's heart felt so cold.

How can he have the same virtue as Xiangyang?
Facing their arrival, Lai Kang, who was in charge of the outpost of Huaying, was not prepared at all.

However, this aspect is not difficult for Little John at all.

He held Lai Kang's hand enthusiastically and said with a smile: "Hello, let me introduce to you. This is Louis Seydoux, from Gaumont Film Company."

No need to listen to anything else, just the word "Seidoux".

Lai Kang's eyes lit up.

The Seydoux family has a prominent family background. EMI Film Company and Gaumont Film Company both belong to the Seydoux family.

Of course, to ordinary people, Léa Seydoux, who starred in "My Girlfriend", "Beautiful People", and "Inglourious Basterds", is more familiar.

It is said that with her family connections, she is also developing well in Hollywood.

Participated in "Mission Impossible 4".
The other end.

After learning from the stewardess that she was about to arrive in Paris, Liu Qianqian got into the master bedroom and couldn't help but smile when she saw Xiang Yang sleeping soundly with his mouth open.

"Xiang Yang, it's time for you to wake up."

Last night, at the cocktail party held during the flight, Xiang Yang didn't drink much.

But after lying down, I fell into a deep sleep.

No naughtiness.

After calling twice and getting no response, Liu Qianxi paced over.

He pinched his nose, and a few seconds later, Xiang Yang made a humming sound.

When he opened his eyes, Xiang Yang was still a little confused and looked blankly at Liu Qianqian who was leaning over and smiling silly at him, "Why are you here?"

Liu Qianqian: "."

Xiangyang blinked.

"Then I said last night that I would sleep with Su Chang, but you didn't agree." Liu Qianqian frowned and urged fiercely:
"Get up quickly, everyone else is ready. Wait."

Yes, if you go out late later, people will misunderstand you.

Suddenly, Liu Qianqian's face flashed with a hint of shyness.

She still remembered the teasing look in Su Chang's eyes when they said goodbye last night.

"Ah, oh." Xiang Yang almost woke up.

Well.
Last night, Zhang Mouzi and the veteran actors were so good at chatting. I didn't expect them to talk so much in private.

He stood up and was about to speak.

Liu Qianqian slapped her hand on Xiang Yang's face, lifted it up and tapped him on the lips.

"It stinks so much, go wash up quickly."

After she was disgusted, Liu Qianqian smiled and said, "I'll go find the seniors first."

Xiangyang said "hmm" subconsciously.

After watching his wife push the door open and walk out in a secretive manner, he quickly closed the door.

Xiang Yang scratched his hair.

How do you feel, you missed something?
　Léa Seydoux is the heroine of "The Life of Adele".

　　"Dune" in which she participated was also very popular.

　　Well, so it was really not difficult for her to win the Palme d'Or and the Caesar Award.

　　After all, her grandfather, Jéhomme Seydoux, was so great in the French film industry and was the chairman of EMI.

　　His uncle Nicolas Seydoux also served as Gaumont's CEO.

　　As for her mother Valerie Schlumberg's family, in addition to being rich, there should be someone else.

　　Jean Stromberg.

　　Designer who worked at Tiffany & Co.

　　Jacqueline Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn, Greta Garbo, Elizabeth Taylor and many others were his clients.

　　The series named after him is also the most high-end at Tiffany.

　　The most famous series should be "Bird on the Stone"

　　Therefore, there are actually many second- and third-generation people in Europe and the United States, but people don’t pay much attention to or understand them.
