"It's too exaggerated, just for such a set of dispensable shots, at least a few million extra dollars are ready to be put in to invest in landscaping......? Do you really want to approve it?"

A few days later, when Gu Biao, through Bertolucci and Monaco investors, reported the adjusted additional filming plan to the ministry, many personnel in the relevant ministries in Beijing couldn't help but exclaim.

Capital pays attention to the world! It's too decadent and extravagant!

However, in the spirit of doing more than less, and doing everything possible to serve foreign guests and leaders, that kind of powerless doubt was quickly suppressed.

"What does it matter to us? We Chinese don't want to pay for this, the foreigners said that they raised their own funds, but they just want us to get an approval document so that we can persuade local units with intentions to cooperate, what do we have to obstruct?"

To put it mildly, if it weren't for the fact that foreigners only wanted to approve the document and then inspect the landscaping environment on their own, the local units in the capital would have come to the door a long time ago. Even the Forbidden City has lent "The Last Emperor" to make a movie, but if there is something to borrow, why wouldn't it? If it weren't for the fact that people couldn't look down on the current ruins, it would be no problem to shoot this set of shots in the Summer Palace with half a moon! This is a film that has to win the Oscars, how many years will it take for the ministry to make such a political achievement of cultural export and raise its eyebrows in front of the Americans!"

"Actually, it's only a few million dollars, which is rare and weird. There are many people who spend half of the budget of the whole film at the beginning of the American blockbuster. There is a movie that was particularly popular in the United States last year, "Terminator", the future sci-fi crosses the background of time and space, and it is the little bit of future war scenes at the beginning of the film, and the sea of money spent!

So, let's not make a fuss and let the big Italian directors see the jokes and think we don't know anything! We also know how Americans burn money when making movies, and we are fussed. ”

The latter two schools of thought clearly have the upper hand. As for why some of them didn't look much at the foreign industry before, but now they suddenly know that foreigners have the habit of burning money and smashing the title of a movie, it is unknown.

Anyway, there must be a message channel for them to know what they should know.

However, in conscience, in the final analysis, the investment company in Monaco is Party A, and Bertolucci is Party B, and there is nothing to say about the capital and design creation. It's just a unit that goes through the motions of administrative filing, and there is really no reason to obstruct it.

The cultural department is not a department with real power that interferes with the local government, and they approved it, that is, when the time comes to implement the layer, they will give the local government a paper talisman-

For example, if a certain city or county wanted to approve a film project in cooperation with foreign businessmen, but was afraid of making mistakes. After having the approval of the cultural department to request assistance, it was successful, and the political achievements were all local, and if someone questioned it, the approval document could also be taken out to dry: we are not rare with these few dollars, but we are taking the initiative to share worries for the central government.

In 82, because of the strict rectification of economic crimes, the local government was still relatively cautious, and there were many people who were afraid of making mistakes.

Of course, if you really don't want to cooperate with foreign businessmen in your bones, that's okay. The approval of the cultural department is not coercive at the local level. Party A takes the approval document and looks elsewhere.

After this operation, Party A and Party B have all passed the record. In less than half a month, an infrastructure subsidiary under a freshly baked foreign-funded film project team got all the required approvals and could go to the local government to request cooperation.

And the so-called investigation is actually a formality, because Gu Biao has already instructed Bertolucci how to talk to the people in the relevant cultural departments about the "inspection plan", and this inspection is destined to be the first stop of the great joy and then it can be decided.

……

On the side of the capital, Monaco Pictures and Bertolucci took a big detour and won the formalities at the same time.

Gu Biao finally went hand in hand in Qiantang and officially started.

Qiu Qing spent a week helping him to put the relationship in place, the local distribution of the spoils was completed, and a big follow-up industrial development pie was drawn, and the enthusiasm of all parties to cooperate with Gu Biao was mobilized.

Tomorrow, Gu Biao will go down to the field for inspection. Considering that the Gu family's cars are all delicate high-end sedans, the chassis is low, and the off-road performance is not good.

Qiu Qing specially got a few high-end 212 Beijing jeeps in the most stable condition from the tourism bureau, and it is said that the suspension is custom-made, not too bumpy, and it is specially designed for Monaco management representatives to sit on when they are inspected.

Of course, the so-called Monegasque capital representative is actually Gu Biao, because other Monegasques are too lazy to go to the countryside to see, and they don't come to China at all. Gu Biao relied on a bunch of international calls to settle this matter and borrow their name.

"I'm going to go to the meeting tomorrow to have a look, don't you go to bed early?" In order to nourish his spirits, Gu Biao went to bed at just over 8 o'clock in the evening to recuperate.

However, he saw that his girlfriend was still writing under the lamp, and he couldn't help but remind Xiao Sui distressedly.

"I'm still writing a diary, you can go to sleep first. Xiao Sui stroked the hair in his ears and looked back and smiled gently.

"They are all well-known writers, and they also write diaries, so it's important to keep your spirits up. Gu Biao was slightly unhappy.

Xiao Sui realized Gu Ao's emotional changes, put down the pen and sat on the side of the bed to chat with him: "It's not an ordinary diary, I want to record some of your insightful visionary judgments over the past few days, including words and context."

So that I can organize it in your autobiography in the future. Seriously, listening to many of the ideas for the development of the cultural industry that you told Director Qiu, I think it makes sense, and after ten or eight years, it will definitely develop according to your vision. ”

In the past few days, Xiao Sui has also been deeply involved in Gu Ao's layout, after all, she was originally the screenwriter of "The Last Emperor", and she participated in the design of the additional drama.

In order to make everything more realistic, of course, Gu Biao would tell her about any details, and the two of them consulted together in detail, which also made Xiao Sui feel that he had gained a lot.

So recently, every night, she has to write late at her desk and write down her daily experience.

"The article can be written at any time, the ideas are clear, and the writing is very fast. Gu Biao took the opportunity to pounce on his girlfriend who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

Xiao Sui had long been accustomed to Gu Ao's words, and at the moment he was half-pushing, half-on-the-spot coquettish: "I knew you were coming again...... If I knew that I would write later, and I didn't talk to you, you would be able to recharge your energy tomorrow. It's good now, it's 8 o'clock to go to bed, don't toss until 10 o'clock you can sleep!"

Gu Biao smiled awkwardly and didn't explain.

In recent years, this has indeed happened to him often: he needs to be energetic the next day, so he goes to bed early. But helplessly, there is always no shortage of confidantes around him, either Xiao Sui or Mina, as a result, the earlier he goes to bed, the less energetic he is the next day.

A fish water.

Simply completely cold the sage down, so that his thoughts can be clear and talk about some things.

Xiao Sui was also in a soft state, and naturally raised a question that she was embarrassed to question - this question had actually been swirling in her mind for a few days, causing her to often write and write Kavin.

"Husband, when I record your industrial ideas, there are always two things that I still don't understand. If you want to get a cinema in Shanyin and Zhuxian, the first thing you want to build is a few landmark buildings in the 'New Yuan Ming Palace'.

These buildings, the script of "The Last Emperor" is really useful. However, in order to attract the Monegasque people to believe in your vision, you also signed a contract to allow the Monegasque party to participate in the rental dividends for the first three years after the completion of the project. After the filming of "The Last Emperor", where can you find a crew that is rich enough to spend money to rent such a scene?"

Gu Biao is also a sage in the state of thinking very clearly, and analyzed at the moment: "It turns out that you are worried about this, rest assured, how can I let my model project go out of order, the small park imitating the Old Summer Palace building is built, and it will be used by Bertolucci next year." In the second half of the year, when Bertolucci runs out, I promise that there will be a big production succession soon. ”

Xiao Sui said curiously: "What project? ”

Gu Biao: "I think that next year, the country may support the production of a film with a theme such as "Opium War", perhaps considering the financial pressure, it will not spend more money for the time being. But if there are foreign businessmen who are willing to take some risks and funds, I don't think the above will refuse this kind of gift of political achievements. ”

Xiao Sui was puzzled: "Why is it the theme of the Opium War? This kind of theme is the humiliation of the Chinese, it is not at all unpleasant, and it will definitely fail commercially." ”

Gu Biao: "Of course, it is to pay tribute to the victory of the negotiations with Britain and the great achievement of ensuring the recovery of Xiangjiang." I'm deeply involved in this matter and know the progress. In fact, Mina's top-secret internal reference, the 7 points mentioned above, when the Falklands War was still being fought, the other party had to agree to 3 points, and the 4th point was later accepted.

With this memorandum in hand, the recovery of sovereignty is ironclad. Now Madame Magissa is still dying, just because now that she has won a crushing victory in the Falklands, she will immediately have an early general election next year. Before she was re-elected, it was impossible for her to let go, and she would not give in until she was re-elected.

Because she also knows that if she gives in to the front, her re-election is likely to fail. In fact, many things in the memo are also valid, and there are many unsightly promises, if she really dares to go back, if the memo is revealed, it will be enough for her to be ruined. ”

There are still many details of secret diplomacy in this, which are not very harmonious, and the process of Gu Biao's explanation to Xiao Sui has been skipped.

All in all, in the history of another time and space, there were no twists and turns in the retraction of this matter, which shows that the memorandum model of the negotiation process is okay. The variables of Gu Biao and Mina are nothing more than checking and filling in the gaps, plugging a few loopholes for the other party to engage in sabotage and digging before leaving.

And Gu Biao relied on this negotiation to predict with his girlfriend that the recovery would be successful, which Xiao Sui definitely believed.

At the same time, how did the historical "Zhen Hengdian" be established in the first place and get a legal industrial positioning?

In fact, Xie Jin, a famous director of the older generation who relied on 94 years of root and Miao Hong, wanted to shoot "Opium War" as a gift to the return of 97, and at the same time, it was positioned by the Ministry of Culture as a key national patriotic idea education project that year.

And the gift of this kind of thing, you don't have to be on the eve of the return to offer, if there is really someone to contribute to the righteousness, when the negotiation is successful, you can also give.

As for whether this movie can make money back, Gu Biao believes that it is true. But Gu Biao can afford it.

Not every business has to make money, especially in China if you want to involve the field of culture and media, some projects that accept the name of the investment have participated, which is very beneficial in the long run, and several generations of leaders of the relevant cultural departments may think of your good.

In the future, when there is money and hot money is overflowing, it will be difficult to accumulate qualifications in this area.

What's more, Gu Biao also hopes that this lease will allow the Monaco top management to also see his vision of investing in cultural industry infrastructure and repair the relationship that was slightly damaged by the Argentine oolong.

Otherwise, the mood of the Monegasque royal family is not well served, and where will the joint venture company of blocking ships and blowing and reclamation land gain credibility?

Business is about looking at the long term.

"It turns out that my husband has thought of it, alas, I'm still there trying to figure out how to hide it for you, it's just a waste of brain cells, I would have asked you directly. After listening to Gu Ao's explanation, Xiao Sui was completely relieved, and felt that it was no longer a book.

"Then why do you have to stuffy yourself?" Gu Biao said with pity.

"It's not that I'm afraid that you didn't think it through and got on the spur of the moment, and you were embarrassed if I brought it up. Xiao Sui was angry.

Gu Biao pretended to be angry and slapped a few times: "When has your husband and I fought an uncertain battle, even if I am impulsive, I pretend to be seen by others." Even you have been deceived by me, whether you should be punished is not enough to know me. ”

Xiao Sui looked charming: "Then how are you going to punish it?"
