After Bobble contacted Phyllis, he arranged for some people to start planning Afra's comeback plan, but Barber strictly ordered to leak any news about Afra's comeback.

If he doesn't sing, he has already made a blockbuster, he must let Afra's comeback have a huge impact, return to the top, and tell the world that a diva is always a diva, even if the years go by, he still does not hide the nostalgia that Afra brings to fans.

Of course, this also has a certain influence on the fact that Barber is also a big fan of Afra in his heart.

In addition, when Bobble was planning Afra's comeback plan, he also secretly investigated all the information of CAA through his own connections.

He knew that Afra switched to Oriental DreamWorks, and it was okay if he didn't succeed, once Afra made a perfect comeback and achieved great success, this would undoubtedly be a slap in the face for CAA, and with his understanding of CAA, the other party would definitely not put up with it.

Yang Ming didn't ask too much about Barber's arrangement, he believed that with Barber's ability, he could completely handle Afra's comeback.

After all, the ability to be known as Hollywood's gold hand is not blown.

After he arrived in Huacheng, the capital of Luzon, the hotel he stayed in this time was not the Datang Hotel, but the Huaxia Hotel.

In the capital of a Chinese country in Nanyang, East Asia, the name of the most famous hotel is Huaxia Hotel, from which you can know the relationship between this Chinese country and China, it is self-evident.

In fact, the rest of the world knows that Luzon is actually a relatively special autonomous region in China.

When he arrived at the room that had already been booked at the Huaxia Hotel, Yang Ming put down his luggage and stood on the balcony, curiously looking at the scenery of Hwaseong, the capital of the Chinese country.

At this moment, I saw a huge outdoor advertising screen in the opposite building, and a promotional video of a movie suddenly appeared, which was "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms".

Seeing this scene, Yang Ming nodded, it seems that the company's publicity work has been put in place.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the expansion plan of the Donghai Cinema Line mentioned by Li Dongyang and himself this year.

In addition to the step-by-step expansion in China and the increase in the number of new theaters, it is also expanding and acquiring theaters abroad to expand the scale of the Donghai cinema line.

Among them, Luzon and Xinhua, two Chinese countries, are the film markets that Li Dongyang focuses on.

I don't know how far Li Dongyang's progress has come.

- Ding Dong.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Yang Ming immediately went to open the door, he estimated that Zheng Mengsheng knew that they had arrived, and came to him to ask when they would go to the concert site to rehearse.

It's just that when he opened the door, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw someone coming.

"Mr. Yang!"

"Director Yang!"

Wang Qidong and Lu Taidong stood outside the door and greeted Yang Ming with a smile.

Yang Ming really didn't expect the two of them to come over, so he couldn't help but smile and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Mr. Yang, "Dragon Agent" is filming in Luzon. Lu Taidong said.

Yang Ming led the two into the room and sat down, and when he heard this answer, he immediately patted his head, and couldn't help but remember that according to the company's plan, Lu Taidong should be filming the second part of "Dragon Group Agent" "Dragon Group 007: Tomorrow's Empire".

Since the success of the first "Golden Eye" of "Dragon Group 007" two years ago, it has attracted many fans.

Especially the alternative portrayal of agents in this movie, handsome and chic, beautiful and fragrant cars, simply subverts everyone's previous impression of agents, which makes people addicted to watching, and the big scenes in it are also very visually impactful.

Therefore, the success of the first part of "Dragon Agent 007" is a matter of course.

At that time, Lu Taidong, the director of this movie, also became a rising star under Oriental DreamWorks.

Two years ago, the box office of this movie was 300 million Chinese dollars, the box office of East Asia was 400 million Chinese dollars, and the box office of Europe and the United States was about 300 million Chinese dollars, with a total box office of about 1 billion Chinese yuan, but it greatly shocked the domestic entertainment industry.

This time, Oriental DreamWorks also attaches great importance to the second part of "Dragon Agent 007", and can't help but increase the scale of investment, and also invited two popular female stars at home and abroad to join the crew, which is not inferior to those Hollywood blockbusters in terms of momentum.

After Wang Qidong and Lu Taidong came in, they didn't say much about the filming of "Dragon Group Agent 007".

Instead, he conveyed an invitation to Yang Ming.

"Chinese Film Development Conference?" Yang Ming was stunned when he heard this invitation, and looked at Wang Qidong a little confused.

Wang Qidong saw the question in Yang Ming's eyes and immediately explained to him what this film conference was all about.

Lu Taidong was filming in Luzon, and he happened to be invited, and he came to participate in this conference on purpose.

"This Chinese Film Development Conference is actually not a formal meeting, but it also has some history, mainly an activity that the three Chinese countries of Huaxia, Luzon, and Xinhua East Asia get together to organize, the original purpose is mainly to interact with everyone and contact their feelings, but with the strength of Hollywood blockbusters in recent years, the market for Chinese films is shrinking, and the Chinese Film Development Conference has also put more attention on the discussion of the future development direction of Chinese films. ”……

After listening to Wang Qidong's introduction, Yang Ming couldn't help but understand what was going on at this Chinese Film Development Conference, and he asked, "Minister Guo and Tao Lao are there?"

"Hmm!" Wang Qidong nodded, "It was the two of them who asked me and Lao Lu to come over and call you to attend this conference, I didn't plan to invite you to come, but you happen to be in Luzon, and the two bigwigs are ready to pull you over, saying that they are introducing you to the people in the film industry of Luzon and Xinhua." ”

Yang Ming didn't care about the previous words, but in the end, when he heard Wang Qidong mention that Minister Guo and Tao Lao were going to introduce some people in the film industry of Luzon and Xinhua to him, his heart couldn't help but move.

He was still thinking about the expansion of Donghai Cinema in Nanyang just now, and there was a chance here.

Maybe the people in the film circles of the two countries who come here will not have the bosses of the theater companies of the two countries, but through them, they may be able to understand the real situation of the theater chains of the two countries, and if possible, when the time comes, the Donghai Cinema Line will really want to buy it, and you can also pull the line through them.

Acquaintances are easy to do.

This is a tradition that has been passed down in China for thousands of years.

Yang Ming thought for a while, then agreed.

Then he confirmed with Wang Qidong the start time of the conference, tomorrow morning at half past nine, not far from the Huaxia Hotel a convention and exhibition center.

Seeing Yang Ming agree, Wang Qidong immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call to the person in charge of the conference, and hung up the phone after telling Yang Ming the news that he would go over to participate.

"Minister Guo and Tao Lao are both accompanying the cultural figures of the two countries, so they will not come here tonight, and it is estimated that they will not have time to look for you until after the end of the meeting tomorrow, and they tell you that if you decide to attend this meeting, it is best to prepare a speech in the evening, and you will definitely have to give a speech at that time. Wang Qidong thought of something to remind Yang Ming and said.

"Hmm!" Yang Ming nodded.

Hey, I didn't expect him to cause trouble for himself on a whim.

It seems that it is not until late tonight, and it is impossible for him to sleep.

After Yang Ming chatted with Wang Qidong and Lu Taidong about the crew of "Agent 007" for a while, the two of them said goodbye and left, and Yang Ming did not stay, after sending the two of them, they returned to the room and immediately began to prepare speeches.

When he sat down and faced his laptop, for a moment, he didn't know what to write.

It's not that he can't write, it's that he wants to write too much.

As a filmmaker, especially if his soul is a filmmaker in his previous life, in the depths of his soul, there are too many ideals that need to be realized for the development of Chinese films.

As long as he thinks of the dedication of countless Chinese filmmakers in his previous life to the revitalization of Chinese films, and the behavior of countless filmmakers who have repeatedly suffered setbacks in the materialistic entertainment industry, and still tirelessly explore the development of Chinese films, he has countless excitement and emotions to tell to the outside world.

Perhaps, this is an opportunity.

He wants to tell the dreams of Chinese filmmakers in the past life to the Chinese filmmakers in the present life, and hopes that the Chinese films in the present life can achieve the ideals that cannot be realized in the previous life.

Thinking of this, the topic of his speech tomorrow suddenly became extremely clear.

He immediately typed a title into the computer's file: "How Chinese Cinema Affects the World."

When he started to write the speech, he forgot the time, and even when Zheng Mengsheng and a few of them came in and found that Yang Ming was immersed in writing, they didn't dare to disturb him and left quietly.

When a person devotes himself to one thing, he forgets everything, and Yang Ming is like this now.

After Yang Ming finished writing, he found that it was already dark outside, and he looked at the time, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

That is to say, he sat here from afternoon to evening, and before he knew it, three hours had passed.

However, the written speech may still need some revisions, but at this time, Yang Ming already felt his stomach growling, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that it is better to solve the problem of food and clothing first.

He went to the hotel restaurant below for dinner alone, and when he returned to his room, he made another phone call to Su Su, and after chatting for a while, he was ready to revise his speech.

The next day, when Yang Ming got up and washed up, Wang Qidong was already in the lobby below the hotel, ready to pick him up and set off together.

After breakfast, when he and Wang Qidong set off to the convention and exhibition center together, it was already past nine o'clock.

At this time, the hall in the convention and exhibition center where the meeting was going to be held was almost full, and most of the people had already arrived.

The conference hall is not very large, it is estimated that there are about 200 people seated, Yang Ming originally arrived at the conference hall, and he was a little disappointed with the so-called Chinese film development conference, this scale is too small, so I stayed up late yesterday to write out the speech!

However, when he recognized some of the filmmakers who participated in the conference, he was shocked that the scale may indeed be a little smaller, but these people are not ordinary people.

At a glance, at least a third of the people are old men over half a hundred years old, and that's not counting those who dye their hair.

Even, he has listened to some people's classes, after all, Yang Ming's current identity is still a student of Yenching Film Academy, and he has not graduated yet!

These people are not only teachers from several colleges, but also respected seniors in the film industry who have been invited by the academy to give lectures to their directing department.

Feng Xiaodan - The only remaining Chinese "first generation" filmmaker who has shot silent films. On his 100th birthday, he has witnessed a century of Chinese films.

Zheng Ji - an old-timer who is known as most of the history of Chinese cinema, and this predecessor has been unanimously praised by the Chinese media as 'a filmmaker associated with half a century of Chinese cinema.' ’

Zhou Yi - a famous film artist, her pursuit of performing arts is endless, and she has never stopped her desire for acting in her sixtieth year. Yang Ming remembers reading a news story where a reporter interviewed this old-timer and heard her mention that she often reads some scripts, and even tries to create some scripts that suit her......

When Yang Ming saw these old-timers, his expression couldn't help but be shocked, and he straightened his clothes, showing unusual solemnity.

Everyone here is a senior of Chinese films and deserves everyone's respect.

After arriving at the conference hall, Wang Qidong talked to Yang Ming for a while, and then went to a seat with his name written on it, and Yang Ming came to his own seat under the leadership of the staff.

Yang Ming's arrival attracted the attention of many people in the conference hall.

Such a young person, suddenly coming here, is naturally eye-catching, and many people recognized who this young man was, and their faces showed a look of surprise.

When he sat down, a middle-aged man next to his left hand side smiled at him and said, "Hello, I'm Ji Anmin, you are Director Yang Ming, right?"

Although Yang Ming has many identities, he must be a director when he comes here today.

"Nice to meet you. Yang Ming also said very politely.

"I was just wondering if this Yang Ming in the seat next to me had the same name? I didn't expect it to be you, I'm honored to meet you. Ji Anmin said with a look of excitement.

At this time, Minister Guo and Tao Lao, accompanied by the group, walked into the conference hall.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone knew that the meeting was about to begin.

After the leader of the Luzon cultural department, who was the host, took the stage to speak, Minister Guo walked to the podium and said with a smile and a kind word, and then his words changed: " Everyone knows that the purpose of today's conference is to discuss the future development direction of our Chinese films, but in the past few years, it seems that the results of our discussions have deviated too much from reality, which is quite disappointing; in the past, every time we gave a speech on stage, the people were old guys like me, but this time I want to change it, and I want to give a young man the opportunity to express his views on the first speech today, and I want to give it to a young man to listen to his ideas!"

Hearing Minister Guo say this, Yang Ming sighed in his heart, wouldn't it? This first person to give a speech on stage wouldn't it be me?

Sure enough, I only heard Minister Guo continue: "In the past few days, I have frequently seen advertisements for a Chinese film in Hwaseong, which is as if I don't need money, and now we will invite the director of this film to talk about his suggestions for Chinese films." ”

"Director Yang Ming, please. ”

In the applause, Yang Ming stood up with a wry smile, bowed and thanked the surroundings, and then walked to the podium, I don't know what Minister Guo thinks, how to push himself out all at once, isn't he afraid of messing up?

"All of you here are old-timers in the Chinese film industry, I am just a newcomer who has just stepped into the film industry, although I have made some achievements, but for me, I am not proud, if I have something that does not meet the public opinion, please bear with me. ”

In any case, the conference hall is full of respected seniors, and Yang Ming doesn't want to leave anyone with the image of being proud of his talents.

He took out his speech, coughed lightly and said: "In my opinion, an important indicator for judging whether a country is a world film industry power is the expansion scale of its overseas box office market!"
