Pudong International Airport, an international transportation hub that has only been opened for a few years, is the first-class scale even if you look at the world.

Some college students wearing T-shirts of uniform volunteers came to the vicinity of the airport exit early in the morning.

"The French people are here!"

An official commanded at the scene and said loudly: "In half an hour, Europa Films' flight will land, you hurry!"

Seven or eight students moved quickly, apparently experiencing a certain large scene, and with the cooperation of airport security personnel, quickly approached the exit gate and assembled several signs written in French and Chinese.

Although the festival has only been held for the sixth time, it has not hindered the official determination to become an international event, and once it has the support of a strong force, the implementation here is very high, and the whole world admires it.

Like airports, stations or other key departments and places, the officials have already greeted them, and the people below also know that the above is fully promoting the film festival, and they are also trying their best to cooperate.

The official of the film festival organizing committee was still a little uneasy, and told the group: "Although "Angel Amelie" is only screened at the film festival, and the producers of the production company and crew who lead the team back, you should pay attention to it. You know, you're the window of the festival to the outside world!"

One of the older students immediately said: "Rest assured, this is not the first time we have received foreign guests. ”

The official nodded, instructed the leading students a few more words, returned to the remaining group of students, and said, "A few of the students from the drama school who can speak English come here!"

"Hurry up!" a girl with short hair pulled the arm of a round-faced girl: "Wan Qian, it's our turn!"

The round-faced girl named Wan Qian followed the girl to the front and listened carefully to the leader's advice.

"You're all top students in drama school, and some of you went to the Southern California Film School. The official's voice was loud and practical: "Your job this time is very simple, greet the guests from Hollywood, and then assist them to go to the hotel where they are staying, understand?"

"Understood!" the four men and three women readily agreed.

Seven people also came to the vicinity of the exit.

The official wiped the sweat from his face, looked at the time, and the big leader would come to pick up the plane in person.

A few students get together and make small talk.

"Wan Qian, have you heard?" the short-haired girl muttered, "It is said that the person we are going to pick up this time is from Miramax, and the person leading the team is called Harvey Weinstein, a Hollywood gold medal producer." ”

A male student studying at the Southern California Film School answered: "Harvey Weinstein is Hollywood's most famous Oscar promoter, as long as he helps, the Oscar for acting is easy." ”

Many things are always false, and then on the version of the original rumor, they are infinitely expanded.

For example, Harvey Weinstein's ability to run the Oscars, such as big stars and A-list directors are just pawns in the hands of CAA......

Wan Qian had never been to the United States, so she didn't know much about the situation, and wondered: "Isn't the Oscar result voted on by thousands of judges?

The boy who had stayed in school couldn't help laughing: "Wanqian, Harvey Weinstein's influence is greater than he thought." Let's put it this way, if we can get his appreciation, becoming a star is a matter of minutes. ”

Although Wan Qian is still a freshman in the drama school, she has her own analytical skills, judging from today's reception, Harvey Weinstein should be a big man in Hollywood, but what the classmate said is definitely exaggerating.

A matter of minutes? Hollywood has such a high investment in a movie, like actors or other things, will you make a decision on the brain?

Suddenly, there was a slightly chaotic sound of footsteps at the entrance of another passageway, and the people here turned their heads to look, only to see a number of high-nosed and deep-eyed gringos coming out of the terminal.

"Which country is this?" The short-haired girl looked at one of the black-haired middle-aged men: "That's the vice chairman of the organizing committee, and the one who can let him greet him personally must be a big shot, right?"

Wan Qian's eyes were sharp, and she saw the English on the suitcases pushed by some people, and said suspiciously: "Relativity Entertainment? Embassy Pictures is very unfamiliar." ”

The short-haired girl hurriedly said, "I know." Qianqian, have you forgotten? The "Spy Shadow" we watched together last year was distributed by Embassy Pictures. ”

"It's Hollywood, too. Wan Qian immediately thought of it.

The student in the lead was even more well-informed, and then said: "By the way, I looked at the schedule today, and the team of Hollywood Relativity Entertainment came by private business plane, and Vice Chairman Chen went to pick them up, and they should be them." ”

Everyone here looked at the other side in unison, and it was not difficult to tell that the leader of the team was a very young-looking Yankee.

He is about twenty-three or fourteen years old, tall and handsome, and at first glance he looks like a top Hollywood star.

The short-haired girl asked the study abroad man, "Do you know that tall and handsome guy?"

"I don't know. The overseas student man shook his head directly: "I've been back for two or three years, and I don't know much about this relativistic entertainment and embassy films." ”

A convoy drove up along the airport road at this time, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Wan Qian was also a little surprised, even in this largest city in the country, it is not easy to see such a string of luxury cars now.

The leading student exclaimed: "Four Bentleys, four Maybach Zeppelins, what a big deal!"

Thinking that this group of people came on a private business jet, they couldn't help but be amazed.

For people in this era, private jets plus eight top-of-the-line luxury cars can only exist in the imagination.

For some reason, everyone's expectations for the upcoming Harvey Weinstein and Miramax group have quietly dropped more than one notch.

How can coming by airplane compare to flying by private jet?

Sometimes, the most superficial things will leave the most intuitive impression.

Ronan is a person who has experienced this era and knows some of the characteristics of the era, which is also a way to show strength.

In fact, there is a need for a deep partner here.

The convoy left the airport and arrived at the hotel, where Ronan exchanged a few polite words with the official in charge of the reception, and entered his room.

Soon, Connie had a schedule.

"Formal activities start the day after tomorrow. Connie handed the schedule to Ronan and said simply: "First attend the opening ceremony of the film festival, then go to the trading area located in the International Convention and Exhibition Center, and three days later participate in the Golden Goblet Film Forum jointly organized by the Hollywood Film Institute and the International Film Festival Organizing Committee." ”

Ronan nodded slightly, since he came here, he didn't plan to be a salted fish, and he also planned to participate in a number of public activities to brush up on his presence.

Hollywood is already gradually opening up the film market here, although the 13 percent film share is not too high, and even the 25 percent share after the WTO is re-signed in the future does not seem to be too much, but in fact, the profit margin is quite objective.

This is the share after deducting various taxes and publicity costs, which is almost a net profit.

Hollywood studios are not stupid, and they are willing to open up the market here, in fact, there is only one reason - profitable.

Connie said at this time: "Miss Lizao called just now and wanted to come over to visit, and at the same time ask when we will meet on behalf of Director Zhang." ”

Ronan thought for a while and said, "This is not in a hurry, that Director Zhang will also participate in the Golden Jue Film Forum, right?"

Connie glanced at the information in her hand and said, "His name is on the list." ”

Ronan instead asked, "Which other studios in Hollywood?"

Connie immediately said: "Harvey Weinstein and Miramax's team arrived today on a flight, and it is estimated that the flight has already landed at the airport. ”

Ronan thought of some of the information he had gotten before, plus the memories of Harvey Weinstein and that director Zhang in his previous life, and said: "This matter is not so simple, you first let people contact each other to see if you can win the film first at the right price." ”

Although in this era, the vast majority of filmmakers here can be proud of the release of the film in North America or entering the international market, and even as long as the agency fee is very low or even nothing, but no one should be underestimated because of this, which producer and director who can become famous here, which is not an old fox?

If conditions permit, they will inevitably strive for the most favorable conditions for themselves.

It's not difficult for Ronan to imagine that Director Zhang and Boss Zhang, who likes to wear white hats, want to let the two tigers compete and profit from it, right?

Hollywood money is not so easy to make.

After resting in the room for a while, Connie came over to inform Ronan that the Jade Dragon had come to visit herself.

It wasn't in Los Angeles, and the Jade Dragon was too shrewd to meet her in a private place, so he made an appointment to meet in the hotel lobby and took the elevator downstairs.

As soon as he got out of the elevator, Ronan saw a familiar figure, and the other party also saw him.

"Hi Ronan. Harvey Weinstein offered to say hello to Ronan.

Ronan stepped forward to shake Harvey Weinstein's hand: "Hello, Harvey. I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

Harvey Weinstein looked relaxed and asked, "You're also here for the festival?"

"yes. Ronan said casually: "Come and take a look, I don't know if I can find a few valuable films." ”

As he spoke, he looked behind him, where some young men in volunteer costumes were helping with the luggage.

Harvey Weinstein pointed to the elevator: "Let's go up first, we'll talk later?"

Ronan nodded, "Okay." ”

The two shook hands again and left.

The college students all looked curiously in the direction Ronan had left, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Ronan met Yu Jiaolong in the hotel lobby and chatted with her for a while, Yu Jiaolong was fine, and she came to visit to brush up on her presence, after all, she still wanted to further develop in Hollywood and wanted to befriend Ronan as a producer.

Not long after sending Jade Jiaolong away, Harvey Weinstein suddenly called and wanted to talk to Ronan, and Ronan agreed after a little thought.
