Chinese Entertainment: Academic Director

Chapter 260 Long-term plan
The administrator of "Caoyang Bar" is quite interesting. He featured and pinned the post about the Venice Film Festival award predictions and analysis.

The replies below are all meant to lash out and mock you - a movie that won the Venice Golden Lion and Best Actress awards is actually "garbage" in your eyes?
You are so awesome!
Grandstanding.

To fill in the gaps.

clown.

This is what many people responded to him.

This made a certain overwhelmed director very angry.

What made him even angrier was that he had posted this using his real name. Now everyone knew him, but this was definitely not a good reputation.

What made him most angry was that when he logged into his account and wanted to delete the post quickly, a system error popped up!

In other words, he can't delete his posts by himself.

So he quickly contacted the administrator, and the reply he got was that there was a BUG in the Tieba system recently, and this would happen when some posts were deleted.

Fuck the bugs.

He contacted the official staff of Tieba again and got the same answer.

As for when this BUG will be fixed, the official response is always: Don't worry, we are working hard to fix it, and you have to trust our technicians...

Then, more and more people came to whip the corpse and watch, as if they were deliberately diverted away.

He is now truly famous all over the world.

In fact, it would be fine if there were no replies pinned to the top - everyone has their own opinions, I just have a different point of view, which is no big deal.

But the key point is, one of the replies said that it was Cao Yang who helped him get this special guest film critic.

The invitation letter sent by Venice officials clearly stated that it was recommended by Cao Yang, the winner of the Venice Film Festival Golden Lion Award...

I also posted a picture of the invitation letter.

He was dumbfounded. Didn't he see the invitation letter at the beginning?
The teacher told him to contact the university directly and introduce himself.

He did the same and the other party didn't say anything.

Shit, there’s an invitation!

But now none of this meant anything to him.

Cao Yang also heard in Venice about Lao Hou's help. To be honest, Lao Hou's way of handling the matter was a bit too rough. Given Lao Hou's current status, there was no need for him to go straight out and confront the enemy like that.

This approach is very satisfying, but it can also be easily criticized.

But you know what, the more direct Lao Hou handled it, the more moved Cao Yang was.

Cao Yang didn’t know whether Lao Hou did this on purpose for him to see, but no matter what, it was certain that their relationship had taken a step further.

Of course, since Lao Hou did it, he must respond.

"Mr. Hou, you are a little impulsive. There is no need to mobilize so many troops for such a small matter."

Cao Yang called Hou Keming and said with a smile.

"Director Cao is the flag bearer of Beijing Film Academy. In my opinion, no matter what happens to you, it is nothing small."

Hou Keming emphasized seriously on the phone.

This made Cao Yang speechless for a moment. The words he had prepared were made difficult to speak by Hou Keming's serious tone.

Hou Keming then laughed and said:
"Just now, on behalf of the school, I wanted to tell you solemnly that Director Cao's affairs are Beijing Film Academy's affairs. I haven't congratulated Director Cao yet, but he won his second Golden Lion. He has tied with Zhang Yimou in the number of the three highest European awards. If you can win a Golden Bear or one of the three major European awards, that will be the greatest honor for Beijing Film Academy and my greatest wish."

Cao Yang thought about it and realized that, indeed, in the three highest awards in Europe, Zhang Yimou won two Venice Golden Lions and one Berlin Golden Bear, while he won two Venice Golden Lions and one Cannes Palme d'Or.

Although their achievements seem similar, the reason why Cao Yang is more famous and influential than Zhang Yimou abroad is that he also has an Oscar for Best Picture and an Oscar for Best Director.

Of course, there is another important reason. So far, he has produced four of the three major European film queens and helped Depp win the Oscar for Best Actor twice.

However, it is extremely difficult to win the three major European Grand Slams.

It’s not that it’s difficult to win the Berlin Golden Bear, but for Cao Yang, it’s difficult to win the Berlin Golden Bear.

Europeans will never sit idly by and watch a Chinese person win Europe's three major Grand Slams and become the fourth person in history.

If you want to win the Golden Bear, you can only wait for the opportunity, but you don’t know if this opportunity will come.

Domestic media continued to report on Cao Yang winning the Golden Lion again. After all, this is one of the world's highest awards for art films.

Even CCTV's 30-minute news was broadcast in the form of a brief report.

In Venice, Cao Yang still has some things to do. Socializing is one thing, and he also has to negotiate the copyright of "Black Swan". For this kind of art film, it is definitely most convenient to sell the copyright directly.

Even after finishing his work here, he cannot return to China. He has to go directly to Canada to see the preparations for several major filming locations of "Inception".

After negotiations, the European copyright was sold first.

MK2 was quite sincere and directly offered a price of 600 million US dollars. As an art film, this is already a very high price.

However, after careful consideration, Cao Yang did not sell the copyright to MK2, but instead chose Ufa Film Company, which offered a lower price.

Ufa Film Company has a fairly good distribution network in Europe. The company is German and very powerful in Germany. It is a cartel organization that brings together all the major producers.

Since there is not much difference in copyright fees, selling it to Ufa Film Company is the best option at the moment.

Maybe UFA cannot help Cao Yang win the Berlin Golden Bear Award, but a cartel organization like them is definitely capable of preventing Cao Yang from winning the Golden Bear Award.

Regardless of whether you will have the opportunity to win the Golden Bear Award in the future, it is always good to plan ahead, so that you don’t miss the opportunity when it comes, and then you will regret it.

A pure Chinese-language film like "Black Swan", after winning the Golden Lion, may have good box office in Europe if it is screened for a long time, but it is hard to say in North America.

The box office in North America may not be as high as that of Xiao Ri Zi.

Mr. Han talked to Cao Yang before leaving.

Mainly about the release of "Black Swan".

Generally speaking, as long as a movie wins a big award, it will definitely be released while the popularity is high. A big award is the best publicity and can save a lot of publicity costs.

Cao Yang had no special requirements on when the film would be released, and he just asked President Han to discuss it with Qingying Production Company.

Dong Xuan was a little excited on the eve of returning to China.

In fact, she was not excited just tonight. She has been obviously excited since she won the Best Actress Award at the Venice Film Festival.

Even if her shy personality dominated at night, she would still shyly allow Cao Yang to pose in different ways. Occasionally, she would be a little "dominant" and press Cao Yang under her to domineeringly.

However, even when she was "strong", her movements were not big, completely like a novice's performance, and her expression was very shy. As long as Cao Yang stared at her, her ears would become hot and turn red.

It's very interesting.

The two different personalities are like ice and fire.
