After the award ceremony, there was also a customary farewell reception, and Fu Luo also came to attend, ready to show up and leave.

He was not afraid that others would say that he couldn't afford to lose, but mainly to give Li Yu a face, after all, the two will soon work together in "Manchester by the Sea", and this Golden Horse Award was also invited twice by the other party, so he forcibly squeezed out time.

"Mr. Fu, I'm a little sorry, in fact, there are many awards I am optimistic about "Havoc in Heaven", it is rare to have such a Chinese film at the same level as Hollywood, but ...... Alas!"

In the end, Li Yu could only let out a long sigh.

"Director Li, don't say that, if you win a prize, you will lose, but you don't say sorry. ”

Fu Luo didn't expect that as soon as they met, Li Yu would say such a thing.

He naturally understood the meaning of the other party's words, obviously this time in the treatment of the movie "Havoc in Heaven", there should be an impact other than "ethics", after all, in the hearts of many Wanwan people, it is always ......

Speaking of the final jury this time, it was composed of Li Yu, Cai Kangyong, Li Bingbing, Lin Ruomu, Zhang Jiapu, and Zhang Zhan.

In addition to Li Yu, there are three Wanwan people, one Xiangjiang and half mainlanders, and even if the former maintains a fair and just attitude, this vote is not advantageous at all.

Not to mention that half of the mainlanders will definitely not vote for Fu Luo's movie, who told him that he has offended the other party to death, women are always very resentful, or the kind of desperate memory, and they only enjoy the pleasure of "revenge" under the "heaven and earth".

Okay, this may be a bit too mysterious, but in the case of taking advantage of the situation, Miss Li Bingbing must be very happy.

And Li Yu's personal temperament is relatively mellow, and he can't be a strong chairman of the jury at all, and the result of "people's cooking" is that there are many people in Wanwan, so he naturally votes casually.

In addition, although Fu Luo has not seen the movie "Outing", he seems to have won an award at this year's Venice Film Festival, presumably the level should still be there, it is rare for Wanwan to appear such a good movie, and it is the 50th anniversary of the Golden Horse Awards, how can you not work hard to be eccentric?

"Hey, then I won't talk about it!"

In fact, the main reason why Li Yu said this was because Fu Luo personally called twice before he finally invited the other party out of his busy schedule.

And this time, it is probably a bit like he invited a friend to his house as a guest, but for some unspeakable reasons, he had to awkwardly bring out a plate of pickles to entertain the guests, even though he had vegetables and meat at home.

Not to mention the others, in many technical awards, "Havoc in Heaven" is definitely dominant, but in the end it only got a plate of "pickles", or a plate of "pickles" that can't be given at all.

After all, in terms of production level and visual effects, as long as people who are not blind, they know that it should belong to "Havoc in Heaven".

After a sentence, Li Yan quickly took the initiative to change the topic and continued: "By the way, Mr. Fu, I have almost run-in the script of "Manchester by the Sea", when do you think it is better to start operating?"

"So, it seems that it's time to start this project, I'll ask Adam West, the head of Dune in the United States, to contact you, and we'll do the preliminary preparations first, and I'll basically be able to vacate the slot before January, but I personally hope it's best to start the film after the Spring Festival." ”

In fact, Fu Luo had been waiting for news from Li Yan's side, and now that the other party had taken the initiative to mention it, he naturally agreed to it.

"I think it's about the same, after all, it takes time to prepare, so let's set it for February for the time being!"

As a Chinese, Li Yu naturally understands the meaning of the Spring Festival very well, and there is nothing to discuss at all.

After finishing, he continued to mention another matter: "Mr. Fu, I have another thing I want to discuss with you, I have an old friend named James Shams, who is the CEO of Focus Pictures, and he also likes the story of "Manchester by the Sea", so he also wants to join this film project, I don't know you here?"

"Focus Pictures? seems to be the film company that Director Li has been working with in Hollywood?"

Not to mention, as soon as Li Yu said the names Focus Pictures and James Shams, Fu Luo really had a little memory.

James Shams, the CEO of Focus Pictures, has always had the title of "The Man Behind the Back" of Li Yu, and the latter can achieve today's achievements, and the former is definitely the biggest contributor and promoter.

"Yes, James is the person I am most grateful to have come to where I am today, and with Focus Pictures joining, I believe it will be beneficial to the promotion of the film in the United States. ”

Hearing this, Li Yu admitted this without any scruples.

Then, he also particularly believed that the reason why Fu Luo invested in the film "Manchester by the Sea" must have wanted to make a difference in the award.

And Dune is just an outsider in Hollywood, and it can even be said that it only has an office in the United States, and finding a partner in the United States is almost the only way out.

Now that his old friend James Schamus knows about the film and has some ideas for collaboration, Li Yan naturally doesn't mind pulling a string in the middle.

"Okay, there's no problem on my side, anyway, Director Li is very familiar with Focus Pictures, and he is familiar with it!"

In fact, Li Yu didn't say that Fu Luo would also find a partner in the six major American countries, and I believe this is not a difficult thing.

After all, Dune has no roots in the United States, so as long as there are benefits, these six natures are willing to cooperate with him, after all, in a capitalist country, no fool will have trouble with money and interests.

Now Focus Pictures is willing to take the initiative to enter the pit, Fu Luo will definitely not object to anything, so that he can save him from bargaining with the Big Six, plus Li Yu can mix to the extent that he is today, it can be seen that Focus Pictures still has some ways.

An actor who doesn't want to win an award is not a good actor, what else can Fu Luo bother to prepare for the filming of "Manchester by the Sea", after all, the commercial value of a literary film is very limited, not to mention 100% of it will lose money, but the risk is still very high.

He's rich, but he doesn't have a fever, so he throws money into the hole for no reason.

"Then I thank Mr. Fu on behalf of James, and I hope the two companies can cooperate happily!"

"Of course, it's a pleasure to work with!"

After one person said a word, Fu Luo and Li Yu each raised the wine glasses in their hands and touched them together.

Then, the two chatted for a while before parting, and Fu Luo was also ready to leave, but he didn't leave in the end, because Liu Dehua took the initiative to come over and say hello again, so he naturally couldn't leave like this and forgive Liu Tianwang.

There are one and there are two, Liu Dehua's leadership is like opening a Pandora's box, and soon a succession of celebrities from all walks of life came to greet him.

For example, Cheng Long, Guo Fucheng, Liang Jiahui, Liu Nuoying, Huang Bo, Zhao Wei, etc., even the viagra that has always been "shy" was "pulled" by Liu Jialing.

In this way, he, who did not win the award, became the focus of the audience, which was also unexpected.
