Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 393 The vast sea and sky
"Our company's film 'Long Live Love' won the Golden Lion Award and a FIPRESCI Award, and Xia Yu in 'Sunny Days' won the Best Actor Award. He is the Venice Film Festival winner at the age of 17!"

"okay, I get it!"

Huang Ze's mouth curled up.

Not bad!

The haul this time was pretty impressive, a top award and a Best Actor, just like last time at Cannes.

Um, last time...

"Depend on!"

Huang Ze pinched his eyebrows and felt a little dizzy.

Although the company won another award, my fame will soar and I can make some money, but why does it feel like it’s getting more difficult to win the Golden Bear Award?

It turns out that I just need to break through the limitation of the fourth three majors and the three major grand slams.

It's even better now. If I can win the Golden Bear, doesn't it mean that the three major awards will be won by Chinese-language films in turn?
If this were to happen...

Huang Ze just felt a little uneasy.

But now that it has come to this, there is no point in feeling guilty. I have to go ahead and we will see what the outcome will be when the time comes.

As for postponing it for a year, it would be less difficult to attend the Berlin Film Festival the year after next.

Huang Ze had not considered this option.

First of all, this is not in line with Huang Ze’s character.

Secondly, there are many films that can participate in the Berlin Film Festival, and this film was made just to compete for the Golden Bear Award.

It was to take advantage of the momentum of the 50th anniversary of the victory over fascism to break through other shackles and gather the three major ones in one fell swoop.

If we fail to do it next year, it will be one less difficulty the year after, but we will also lose a major help, and we may not be able to win the Golden Bear.

It’s better to take life and death lightly and just fight if you don’t agree.

Just go for next year’s and you’ll be done!

"This, the company has too many good films, and it's also a happy trouble!" Huang Ze grinned and showed a bitter smile.

……

Huang Ze has happy troubles.

Some people are left with nothing but regret.

Taekwondo.

After Xu Ligong learned that "Long Live Love" won the Golden Lion Award, he suddenly collapsed in his chair.

Damn, it’s over.

How did the company become like this?

Xu Ligong now feels worse than if he had lost 10 million.

Previously, we wanted to bring Li An, who won the Golden Bear Award, to the company and let him win another big award, so that the company could also gain a lot of fame and fortune.

Otherwise, why are there people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait behind "A City of Sadness" and "The Wedding Banquet", two films that won the top three awards in Europe?
It's as if our Wanwan Film Company is all useless.

It’s easy to do but it doesn’t sound good!

To this end, he risked a fallout with Huang Ze and asked for a lot of investment from Li An's next film.

In the beginning, Huang Ze asked him for a director to make a movie in exchange. The director was just so-so, with no awards or box office wins. He was also a Malaysian Chinese, almost an unknown person. He just thought that Huang Ze was taking advantage of the situation to earn back some face, which was considered to be a respectable move for both of them.

But he never expected this scene to happen!

The guy named Cai Mingliang won the Golden Lion Award for just one film!

He had specifically learned about this when he went to Xinghai Company to shoot a film. Tsai Ming-liang's new film was not based on a script given by Huang Ze, but was written by himself, and the background was also about the young people of Taekhoku.

In other words, if this young man were in his own company, he would probably be able to win the Golden Lion with his own ability!

The reason why he said it depended on his ability was that he could not guarantee that he could take down the Golden Lion, and how much contribution Huang Ze made in it. Without Huang Ze, could the matter still be accomplished?

After all, Huang Ze has now added another achievement.

Among the three major Chinese-language films, except for "Scented Soul Girl", it is almost the only one.

Such a record is really fierce!

It even made Xu Ligong a little suspicious. Why couldn't the director get the three major awards with others, but got them with Huang Ze?
Is it just luck?
If Cai Mingliang's new film was not invested by Xinghai, could it really win the Golden Lion?
"Mother Gan Lin!"

Xu Ligong knew that it was right to think this way, but he was helpless because his opponents and newspaper reporters did not think so!

He could even imagine how he would be scolded for accepting 500,000 U.S. dollars from Huang Ze and being an insider hiding in the Taiwanese film industry.

"If you continue like this, your reputation will be ruined!"

At this point, Xu Ligong held his chin and thought about how to make amends.

Well, Cai Mingliang is just on loan and he can come back when the time comes. Li An is already actively cultivating the relationship, so there is no big problem.

It seems that what we need to worry about is that another director we like will be loaned out.

Xu Ligong made a decision immediately that no matter what the price was, he would not lend anyone else.

Even if we borrow, our company has to take the majority of the money, otherwise we won’t know how to promote the award.

The publicity company, the boss behind the scenes is from mainland China.

Publicity director, Malaysian.

We can only focus on promoting the actors!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Xu Ligong became dissatisfied with himself and his colleagues around him.

"Why didn't anyone come out to persuade me at the beginning?"

"How can we make a good movie with these bugs?"

……

In fact, Xu Ligong was too early for Gao Xin.

If Cai Mingliang is a Taiwanese, Huang Ze would definitely not have any intention of going back. If you want to go back, then go back. I know the pressure you are under. After all, your family is over there. You are successful now, so just remember that we worked together.

I never think about poaching people.

But who can blame Cai Mingliang for being a Malaysian Chinese?

Wanwan was never his home.

It's just because I was studying there, and there isn't much of a film industry in Malaysia, so I worked there.

How could Huang Ze honestly return the money to such a director who has won three awards and it doesn’t cost too much?

Even if he is a mascot, he is still a mascot that has won the three major awards!

It can bring the level of Xinghai to a higher level.

Therefore, during the filming, the producer sent by the company was always trying to win over the other party.

Give you the warmth of spring.

In a word, don't stay in Taiwan anymore, come to Xinghai, there are a lot of money and fame! If you have a penalty, we will pay it too.

It’s just that Cai Mingliang still doesn’t know how his film will perform, and he’s always a little unsure, so he just said he would come over after the film’s performance is out.

Now, the results are out.

Recalling the achievements of Xinghai's films, and thinking that his second film could achieve such results, Cai Mingliang felt that there was an indescribable hand in the sky. He stopped hesitating and immediately found the producer in Venice, "I want to join the company!"

"You finally agreed? I always thought you wanted to go back to Wanwan Zhongying."

"Hi!" Cai Mingliang smiled. "If Director Huang hadn't called me, I would have had to work at China Film Group and ask for investment. Of course, there's nothing wrong with working at Taiwan Film Group, but Star Ocean is a much broader world for me!"
