Chapter 129: Negotiations for the Academy Awards

Reaching out to take the document in Guan Zhilin's hand, Xu Ziming carefully flipped through a few pages, this is part of his opinions on the Academy Awards based on his memories of his previous life.

When he confirmed that it was correct and was about to close the document, Guan Zhilin suddenly asked coldly.

"Ziming, that young lady is your good friend, she has already come to you yesterday. Guan Zhilin forcibly suppressed the woman's jealousy.

"Are you talking about Amei?" Xu Ziming didn't need to look back to know who Guan Zhilin was pointing at, it must be Anita Mui who left with her sister Mei Aifang outside the door now.

He nodded directly, without concealing it at all: "Good friend, maybe she may not be in her heart, but I see her as a good friend in my heart." ”

Guan Zhilin's expression changed slightly, the vinegar taste was obviously reduced a lot, and she said with a smile: "I always feel that you have a lot of confidantes, who called you such an excellent man." There was some helplessness in the laughter, she hoped that Xu Ziming could only have one person in her heart, because she was now ......

Xu Ziming picked up the document, deliberately tilted his head back, and quipped: "The words are very meaningful, don't think too much." If you're afraid that your man will be snatched away, you have to work hard. ”

Guan Zhilin instantly blushed and glanced at Xu Ziming. "Of course I'm afraid that others will rob you of you. ”

Xu Ziming glanced at his lips and smiled to block it, knowing that Guan Zhilin sometimes likes to make trouble in front of her, just like a little girl.

Xu Ziming just said a few casual words to her, pinched the time on his watch, and hurried to the appointment.

At The Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, Huang Baiming and Chen Baisheng arrived early, and the two took advantage of Xu Ziming's leisure time before he came, chatted and got to know each other.

Chen Baisheng is the person in charge of "Film Fortnightly", and Huang Baiming is a shareholder of Xinyicheng, without Xu Ziming's lead, the two would hardly touch a line.

In fact, even if they meet in the future, Huang Baiming will only be treated as a winner at most, and it is impossible to sit down and talk quietly.

When the two were chatting about the same, Xu Ziming hurried to the two of them with a document in his hand.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little late," Xu Ziming said apologetically, picked up a cup of coffee and drank it.

The two glanced at Xu Ziming funny, Xu Ziming was a little surprised, and wondered: "I drank the wrong coffee?"

"No, no, it was originally for Mr. Xu. Chen Baisheng explained, but he was a little careful about Xu Ziming's casual personality.

Huang Baiming and Chen Baisheng seem to have done a good job one-on-one, Xu Ziming must choose Chen Baisheng to sit opposite Huang Baiming to the left position.

After sitting down, Xu Ziming withdrew Pan Weiguo and Li Guozhong, who were closely behind him.

"Mr. Xu, I don't know what aspect of the Academy Awards you want to talk about," Chen Baisheng asked, after all, the preparations for the Academy Awards are about to begin, and specific negotiations must be prepared in the next few days at the latest.

"A little thing, Mr. Chen, what do you think about the way the Academy Awards are held," Xu Ziming asked

"What Mr. Xu means", Chen Baisheng had a bad expectation.

"Mr. Chen, the organizer of the Academy Awards is only "Film Fortnightly", and the partner is only Radio Television Hong Kong, but the question of the source of funding, I think Mr. Chen must know in his heart that there is not enough money to hold a selection of beautiful Hong Kong artists, it is very difficult, whether there is a test or not

Thinking about the sponsor, or not tasting the sponsorship. Xu Ziming was afraid that Chen Baisheng would refuse simply, so he finally added a free sponsorship.

Chen Baisheng's eyes lit up, his heart was depressed, and he was really attracted by Xu Ziming's "free of charge".

He pretended to be calm and explained: "Mr. Xu, the funding aspect is indeed a big problem, and our organizers must have thought about the sponsor's matter. In order to do a good job in this event, well-known figures in Hong Kong, we in "Film Fortnightly" also try to contact each other, the purpose is to hold an award that Lin Quanquan Hong Kong people can rest assured. But ......"

"But what?" Xu Ziming was amused in his heart, but he was so appetized by Chen Baisheng that he was appetized.

Chen Baisheng's confidence is a little lacking, "But our original intention is to go for the prosperity of Hong Kong films, and it does not involve miscellaneous interests." Many sponsors want to make a fortune from this event, which we absolutely do not accept, but I am curious about the free sponsorship. ”

Don't say that Chen Baisheng is curious, Huang Baiming is also curious, what kind of approach is there.

Xu Ziming has enough financial resources, and he can indeed donate a sum of money. But Huang Baiming and Chen Baisheng didn't want to believe that Xu Ziming would directly throw out a sum of money.

Shrewd people often get the maximum benefit at the lowest cost, the matter of the Wharf business war, Chen Baisheng heard the rumors a little, although it has been two years now, but Xu Ziming took advantage of the ship king Bao Yugang, but he can make the ship king happy and convinced, this is still vivid, all of which make him jealous of Xu Ziming's business ability.

But turning his head and thinking of Xu Ziming's talent in entertainment, Chen Baisheng admired it even more, otherwise Xu Ziming invited him, and then postponed the time, he didn't have any temper at all, who called Xu Ziming's screenwriter talent is famous in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

"Quite simply, I mean, pro bono sponsorship. "Film Fortnightly" directly chooses to cooperate with the radio station, as long as Uncle Shao and I agree, the other shareholders will definitely not have any criticism..."

Before Xu Ziming finished speaking, Chen Baisheng couldn't wait to interject and asked: "Mr. Yin and Wireless negotiated with Wireless before there was no result, is it because Wireless also wants to be the organizer." ”

Xu Ziming was not dissatisfied with Chen Baisheng's "faux pas", and said in a very flat tone: "Wireless is indeed this idea. ”

Xu Ziming glanced down at the document in his hand and added: "If it is a radio station, it can maintain its daily basic expenses by relying on the annual copyright fees of television and radio broadcasts and overseas distribution income. If that's not enough, I can set up an Academy Awards Charity Foundation alone, and use one-fifth of the annual profits of my Mingjia films as funds, and hand over Mr. Chen to take care of others, so as to ensure that the future Academy Awards can be held smoothly. At most, my company only needs to get a number of organizers. ”

Chen Baisheng did not react immediately, under the eyes of Huang Baiming and Xu Ziming, he took a small sip of coffee very calmly, he knew that Xu Ziming was very popular in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, although it shows that Jia Film Company is only a film company established not long ago, but with Xu Ziming as the backing, it is extraordinary.

"Mr. Hui's welfare is really good, but my newspaper has reached a cooperation with Radio Television Hong Kong, and if I switch to TVB, the gain will outweigh the loss. ”

Yin Jianxin is his friend, and the front foot helps him lobby the radio station, if he does cooperate with wireless alone on the back foot, this is a slap in the face, and it will definitely have a great impact on "Film Fortnightly" in the future.

Chen Baisheng's hand

It's like having a convulsion.

"Mr. Chan, you are very embarrassed and I know that I can take a step back, radio station and RTHK co-hosted this year, but since then, it has been exclusively hosted by "Film Fortnightly" and TVB. ”

Chen Baisheng's swaying hand suddenly froze, he pondered for a while, and his frowning eyebrows did not stretch at all, "Mr. Xu asked me to think about it again." ”

"Mr. Chen is too worried", Xu Ziming was a little annoyed, but the two-year experience has changed him a lot, he did not show his dissatisfaction in the slightest, but he would not let Chen Baisheng have the idea of waiting for the price to sell.

RTHK may not agree to treat Filmbiweekly as an equal partner, and in their eyes, Mr. Chan's newspaper is nothing more than a good one. If we cooperate with TVB, we are all the rule-makers, and we will be closer to the entertainment industry in terms of selecting guest judges, and there will be fewer candidates for government officials. ”

Chen Baisheng was suddenly a little dumbfounded, and the last sentence was something he was very afraid of.

Seeing that Chen Baisheng hadn't answered, Xu Ziming said again: "Mr. Chen, the current Academy Awards are only being raised, and there will be no other selection activities?"

Chen Baisheng's pupils contracted suddenly, and he suddenly smiled: "Mr. Xu, I will consider your suggestion carefully." ”

Obviously, Chen Baisheng knows that with Xu Ziming's background and skills, it is not a problem to set up an award event for the Hong Kong film industry at his own expense, and it is obvious that if he does not agree, or directly refuses in person, he will be resisted. After all, there is no precedent for the Academy Awards.

"Mr. Chen, I didn't really offend much. I have compiled specific proposals for the Academy Awards into a document. The document in his hand finally worked, and it was handed directly to Chen Baisheng on the other side through the flat and blank desktop, but Huang Baiming stared dryly.

Chen Baisheng took the document with only a few pieces in confusion, and began to browse quickly from the first page, fortunately, Chen Baisheng is the person in charge of the newspaper all the year round. I read it relatively quickly, and I understand the deep meaning.

He thought that Xu Ziming's ideas would be completely contrary to his own, but it was unexpectedly consistent, the geographical restrictions were only a few changes, and the selection requirements pursued diversity, which was indeed possible.

In the original air, public opinion believes that if the Academy Awards blindly protect the region, it will lose the fairness and influence of the Chinese film campaign.

In this regard, Chen Jiashang has a clear position, he declared: "If this award is becoming less and less valued because Hong Kong films are becoming less and less valued, we will accept our fate." Because the Academy Awards are for Hong Kong films, if there are no Hong Kong films, the Academy Awards will be meaningless. If Hong Kong films are on the decline, then the Academy Awards are a truthful reflection of the current situation of Hong Kong films and continue to work hard for Hong Kong films."

The Hong Kong Film Awards are mainly organized to encourage Hong Kong filmmakers, and do not include all Chinese-language films, which Hui Ziming recognizes, after all, it is a regional practice.

Chen Baisheng seemed to have a somewhat arrogant impression of Xu Ziming, and his opinion changed greatly, but he didn't expect Xu Ziming to have such a unique idea, and the title of this genius screenwriter should not be in vain.

Huang Baiming has been difficult to interject, and after Chen Baisheng left, he sat in his position, thinking about Xu Ziming's series of behaviors.

This method made him see Xu Ziming's extraordinary, but it made him feel more heroic and heroic for Xu Ziming.
