Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 469: Aboveboard
Fang Hong and Director Tan sat down on the single sofa in the leisure area. There was just enough space for four people, and they could sit in four directions.

The secretary gave each of them a cup of tea.

Liu Tianxian didn't disturb them. She was looking at the planning proposal sent by the wedding company at Fang Hong's desk, which also required the use of a computer to check.

Because there are PPT and some animation files.

She has been paying a lot of attention to this matter recently. After all, it is her own wedding, so of course she has to look at it more and think about it more.

“Mr. Fang, we have discussed with the liaison officer and have agreed to let you host the Macau Film Festival.” Director Tan said after taking a sip of tea.

“Since you think so highly of me, I can only say that I will try my best. However, it is almost July now, and there are only a few months left before the opening of the Macau International Film Festival.” Fang Hong was quite humble.

He thought about it last night and decided to take it. If he gets rejected this time, he doesn’t know if he will have another chance next time. What if he wants to do something like this in the future and the other party doesn’t look for him again?
So let’s do it first, big or small, and open this hole later. As long as we do better than what the Macau authorities do, we will be successful.

After all, he has the Chang'e technology platform for promotion and live broadcast. When Douyin comes out, the influence of this film festival can be further enhanced.

By organizing this film festival, he can make use of some resources in Macau, which will also be beneficial to him and can make Yutu a well-known cultural authority.

If it goes well, giving Liu Tianxian the identity of the image ambassador of the Macau International Film Festival will be much more impressive.

This is equivalent to official recognition!

"We understand this. If you have any requirements, please feel free to ask and we will cooperate with you. Our original intention is to run this film festival well." Director Tan also knew that it was indeed a bit difficult for others to come to him at this time.

The main reason is that time is too tight and we have not made any preparations, so we let them start the project rashly, which makes us feel a little guilty.

"Yes, just tell us what conditions you need and we will do whatever we can for you." Councillor He also agreed.

They come for tourism, and the film festival culture is the best way to promote the city, which can increase the city's visibility and promote business.

If that small place could boost the tourism industry a little, it would be enough to feed the local people. There aren't many people.

"Since Director Tan and Councillor He have said so, I have no choice but to go ahead and do it. Don't blame me if I don't do it well," Fang Hong said with a smile.

"Haha, no, no."

Director Tan waved his hand and smiled, then continued, "This is the first time we've worked together, so we definitely need to get used to each other and gain some experience."

"That's true. This is my first time doing this too. There may be some unexpected places or people I can't deal with. If there are any problems, you must remind me." The subtext of Fang Hong's words is that you have to protect the official figures for me.

"That's natural."

Director Tam said he understood, and then said, "There is just one thing I want to clarify. The organizer still needs to use the name of the Macau Film and Television Media Association and the International Cultural Communication Center."

"Huh?" Fang Hong was surprised. Wasn't it agreed to hang the sign of Chang'e and Jade Rabbit?

We have come to this point, and suddenly we are not allowed to hang up the Chang'e and Jade Rabbit signs. Isn't this just luring people in and killing them?

He spread his hands: "What's the point of me doing this?"

"Don't be impatient, just listen to what I have to say."

Director Tan signaled him to be patient, and then said: "You can hang up the co-organizer sign, the function is the same."

"I don't quite understand why this is happening?" Fang Hong still didn't understand. He came to organize this award ceremony, contributed money and effort, but he could only co-organize it, which meant providing assistance.

It means that you provide the strength and the fame is theirs.

"Let me explain."

The liaison officer sat up straight and said, "It's like this, Macau is also a window to the outside world, and the film festival is an international film festival, which is equivalent to a business card, so it should be taken seriously.

The country needs a cultural image, and Macau also needs a cultural image. You can understand what I mean, right? "

Fang Hong understood what he meant, that is, Macau is one of its windows to the outside world, and the film festival held here needs to have the attributes of a "national business card."

It is not allowed to give such a cultural symbol to the Jade Rabbit.

Private enterprises can participate, but they must do so under the banner of the country!
"Of course we will not treat you unfairly, and you can also enjoy some rights and interests. The intellectual property rights interests generated by this brand copyright can belong to you, but we don't want them."

The contact person explained again: "We will also give you a certain degree of autonomy. It's up to you to decide how to organize and plan this film festival. As long as it doesn't violate the regulations, we will communicate with other departments on your behalf."

Communication with other departments should be with relevant departments such as radio, film, television, film association, literary and art association, etc.

These departments have already monopolized the major domestic film festival award ceremonies, so if you want to do something like this, you need the consent or leadership of these departments.

Now we are bypassing these departments. If there is no communication with the relevant departments, it will be impossible to hang the Jade Rabbit sign.

Let me put it this way, many award ceremonies and various groups require review and cooperation from relevant departments.

Without relevant departments, it cannot be done at all because it is not allowed.

The International Cultural Communication Center is also a very powerful organization, which is directly under the vice-ministerial level and has many central agencies.

For example, education, science and technology, film and television, supervision, etc. are very complete.

Their mission is to communicate and to promote external cultural exchanges and dissemination.

In fact, the summit organized by Fang Hong is not allowed if it is exaggerated, and relevant departments need to take the lead.

It was banned by the Internet Audiovisual Conference in the previous life.

It's just that the higher-ups turned a blind eye and let him do whatever he wanted. It didn't cause any harm, but rather brought some benefits.

Fang Hong thought for a moment and asked, "You just want a name, am I right to understand that?"

"Yes." The liaison nodded.

That's fine, because it means that the audiovisual copyright and commercial interest rights of the film festival belong to him.

That is, he can specify which platform to broadcast the Macau Film Festival Gala, and the texts, patterns, audio and video produced belong to him.

The sponsorship fees, advertising fees, ticket fees, etc. are also what he deserves, and of course he also contributed money and effort.

The bad thing is that Jade Rabbit and Chang'e have to hang the co-organizer sign.

"This is also good for you. With our sign, those people will be more convinced." The liaison officer continued.

"That's true." Fang Hong nodded. It would be more convincing to put up a sign from the relevant department than a sign from a private company.

For example, those who don’t care about the Jade Rabbit can ignore the Jade Rabbit’s face, but they cannot ignore face for the above.

For example, no matter which department comes to you, we can help you block it.

"You are a very capable and smart person. I hope you can understand our intentions." said the liaison officer.

"I understand." Fang Hong felt embarrassed by the compliment.

"That's good. If you have any objections or concerns, you can raise them. We will try our best to be frank and clear with you. Of course, the ultimate goal is to get things done." said the liaison officer.

Macau’s cultural image has been improved, and he has also made contributions to this.

"I have no objection, except regarding the funding." Fang Hong looked at Director Tan and the two Macau men.

Although the copyright and tickets belong to him, it is difficult to make money from award ceremonies in general. The only thing you can earn is fame, that is, the name of the city. Otherwise, the Golden Rooster would not rotate among each city.

But now that Jade Rabbit and Chang'e's reputation has been partially stripped away, he certainly can't afford to lose money.

Of course, it would be a great sense of accomplishment to do this thing well, and it would win the favor of local and higher-ups, proving his ability.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Moreover, Chang'e Video and Bilibili also need such an event, and the Internet needs such a name.

At least it is more upscale than Weibo's "Something Night" and Tencent's "Starlight Gala".

"We can pay half of it for you, which is 50%." Director Tan thought that it was not expensive to hold such an award ceremony.

It only costs a few million for them, how much can it cost the principal?

"Okay, I have no objection." Fang Hong said.

50% is enough. No matter how much Fang Hong pays, Macau will pay half.

The four of them then communicated about the details of the Macau awards ceremony. Fang Hong said that the rules needed to be changed and a larger venue was needed, and the Macau side had no objections.

These things are not important, and what they did before was already very bad. If they let them come, they must need to reform.

Macau only provides policies and venues to allow you to have unimpeded access.

Their communication was quite smooth. After all, with a liaison officer to coordinate, things were much easier.

After talking for about two hours, they finally reached an agreement and stood up. Fang Hong said, "Let's go have a meal. You guys have come here with great difficulty, so I must treat you."

"Then let Mr. Fang pay for it." Director Tan said happily.

"You're too polite. I just don't know what you like to eat and whether you are used to northern food." Fang Hong said.

"It's all fine, as long as it's not too spicy. We southerners generally don't like spicy food." Director Tan said with a smile.

The others laughed too.

Fang Hong nodded and called to Liu Tianxian, "Xixi, let's go eat."

"Oh, okay!" Liu Tianxian covered her notebook, picked up her bag and trotted over.

"I'm not very familiar with this area of ​​eating, but my wife is more familiar with it. Let's listen to her." Fang Hong gestured with his hand.

"So, Miss Liu should be very familiar with the capital." Director Tan said.

"I'm quite familiar with it. My mother and I have lived here for more than ten years." Liu Tianxian said.

"Then if there is a chance in the future, we will ask Miss Liu to lead us and take us to various places in Beijing to have fun." Councillor He said with a smile.

"Sure, no problem!" Liu Tianxian was very straightforward.

They found a Cantonese restaurant nearby to have dinner. Since the guests were from the south, they had to cater to their tastes.

At the dinner table, Liu Tianxian seemed very comfortable and talkative. Just a few casual words could arouse people's desire to chat.

After dinner and three rounds of drinks, it was already dark. At the entrance of the restaurant, under the dim street lights, several people were talking and laughing next to a black business car.

Director Tan patted Fang Hong on the shoulder and said, "Boss Fang, you found a good wife. She is generous and decent."

"Thank you for the compliment. Which hotel are you staying in? I'll take you there." Fang Hong said.

"No need to send us, we have a driver."

Director Tan declined and waved to Liu Tianxian, saying, "We are leaving now. Please stay and we will see you next time if we are lucky enough."

"Then please slow down." Liu Tianxian took two steps forward.

Director Tam, Councillor He and the liaison officer waved to them and then got into the black business car.

Although they all drank, none of them were drunk.

However, their scene in the night was secretly photographed by a reporter from a distance.

Liu Tianxian seemed to have sensed something and looked towards a certain place. His eyes narrowed and became somewhat dangerous.

She kind of doesn't like this kind of candid photography.

"What's wrong?" Fang Hong asked.

"A reporter is secretly filming." Liu Tianxian said, and then said, "Let's go!"

"Let me see who it is." Fang Hong looked towards that place and was about to go find the reporter.

This scared the reporter, and he alertly prepared to pack up his equipment and run away.

"Forget it, just take the photo." Liu Tianxian pulled him back again and chose to keep the peace.

"You are too soft-hearted." Fang Hong said.

"What's the point of getting into conflict with others? We didn't do anything, it's all above board." Liu Tianxian's words made sense.
