Yu Hongbing's "That Year" has only been screened in China, and the overseas copyright has not been sold at all, as a feature film reflecting an important period of history, it is easy to arouse the interest of some European film companies. Especially in the French market, which is a quirky art world, I like literary films that are profound and reflect the social background and human entanglements.

"Another thing, if you continue to toss like this, when will the filming of "Soldier" start?" Bai Lu sighed: "I'm really afraid that the old man can kill me." ”

Yang Ling said: "Don't worry, the old man understands the law." ”

"Nonsense. Bai Lu said: "Then you let everyone go to the crew to report, and then go to the airport to register, I will bring the black bear over...... Ask if you can charter first class, it will not affect others. ”

"There's no rush on this. Yang Ling said: "I have arranged it for you, go to a premiere, and then bring Sha Sha and Hua Hua...... Full of happiness to go back quickly, go with you and come back together, help the director stand on the stage for a day, and then she goes to the TV station to record the program, you go to the south to film, ten days later to Berlin for the closing ceremony, and then fly directly to the United States. ”

Bai Lu asked, "You're not going?"

Yang Ling said, "What am I going to do? Be a translator?

Bai Lu shook his head helplessly and asked, "Where is Yuanlong?" ”

"I'm working on a new film. Yang Ling asked: ""Police" two, now someone has invested 500 million, 100 million is your salary, do you want to shoot it?"

"There are so many crazy people, 500 million investment, and the box office has to sell 1 billion to return to the cost, is that person crazy?"

"I think it's about having faith in you. Yang Ling said: ""Ordinary Road" sold very well, and now it is 600 million box office. Before the release, can you think of it?"

According to Liu Tiancheng's investment, 600 million means that it can be profitable. Bai Lu smiled: "No wonder Lao Liu has been very happy in the past two days." I've been asked for a drink several times, and I'm still wondering what was going on. ”

Yang Ling said on the phone: "I am convinced of you, the movie you starred in is being screened, and you actually forgot; Is it sick?"

Bai Lu said: "You are right, hang up. "After saying that, hang up the line. After thinking about it, he called Mingchen again: "In the crew, now you are the biggest wrist." Be sure to keep an eye on it, I still have a few days to get over. ”

Mingchen said that you have a lot to do.

Bai Lu explained with a smile: "No way, no way, you first take the actors to familiarize yourself with the venue." Familiarize yourself with the characters again. Great work. ”

Mingchen said that he knew, and asked if there was anything else.

Bai Lu said no.

He was embarrassed to make the call. And when he was driving south, Zhang Qingqing called and said that Liu Tiancheng invited him to dinner at night.

Bai Lu smiled: "You called this time?"

Zhang Qingqing said thank you, and said: "I have starred in many films before, and some films have not even returned the investment, but this time I can make a profit." And a lot of money, be sure to thank you. ”

Bai Lu said, "You're welcome." And he said that something was going on in the evening. Once again, he refused Liu Tiancheng's banquet.

He sat with the tiger in the back, and Xiao Hei asked in front, "Someone else please drink?"

Bai Lu said, "Why don't you go?" ”

Xiao Hei said, "I want to go, but who knows me?"

Bai Lu said, "I know you. Then he asked about something else: "How's your girlfriend?"

Xiao Hei hesitated and said, "She wants to invite you to her book launch." ”

"Which day?" Bai Lu said, "If you are really attracted to her, I will definitely support her." ”

"There must be some temptation, but how I feel that she is close to me is because I know that I know you. Xiao Hei said: "It's not a big press conference, it's just a rented place in a hotel, where several writers sit in a row, sign and sell books, and it seems that there can be a small lecture." ”

Bai Lu said: "It's quite formal, which shows that her book is valuable, and the publishing house will praise her so much." ”

"It's not to praise herself, she said it clearly, and I didn't ask, but if I can invite you, it will be a weight for her. Xiao Hei said: "To be honest, I don't want to go, I originally wanted to get a group of guards to buy books and support the field, but before I could go, your old man ordered a piece of paper, and many people went south." ”

Bai Lu asked, "Have you seen her recently?"

"No, she's also very busy, saying that she is on the radio to do programs, as well as magazine interviews, and to attend some kind of conference, so she made two phone calls recently. ”

Bai Lu said: "Look, if you need me to go, I'll go, anyway, I don't know her." ”

Xiao Hei said he got it, and said thank you.

Bai Lu asked again: "How much did the Pleasant Goat cost?"

Xiao Hei said: "When I give you a New Year's gift." ”

Bai Lu said: "If you have money, save it, you must marry a wife and start a family." ”

Xiao Hei said, "You're not as old as me, tell me this?"

Bai Lu smiled: "Anyway, if you need to, you can speak." ”

Xiao Hei said that he knew, and asked about the sports car festival: "Why don't you run first, I think you can run past those two F1 cars driven by mallets." ”

"What are you doing with that effort?" Bai Lu said: "I'm looking for someone, otherwise I wouldn't have gone at all, but unfortunately I didn't find anyone when I went." ”

Xiao Hei sighed and said, "Your character...... The gods don't understand either. ”

The two chatted without a word, and soon returned to the tiger garden.

After getting out of the car, Xiao Hei was surprised: "Why is the construction starting again?"

Bai Lu said yes, blasted the tiger inside, called Liu Chen, called him out to talk for a while, and then drove back to the city.

The next day, Yuanlong finally appeared, came to the company to find Bai Lu, and talked about the film festival as soon as they met.

In fact, he also doesn't want to go, after all, he has been famous for many years, and he has starred in movies in the United States, and he doesn't value the Berlin Film Festival as much as a star.

And the most important thing is that you may not be able to win the prize.

Whether it is the Berlin Film Festival or the Oscars, in Yuanlong's calculations, he basically has no chance of awards. Most of the awards are for thoughtful films.

The difference is that the red carpet at the Oscars is famous all over the world. Although the Berlin Film Festival is also a world-famous film festival and one of the five major international film festivals, because most of the award-winning films are literary and artistic models, but also European ones, people who like commercial films are not very interested in this award. Most directly, American superstars rarely attend the Berlinale.

This time it was very surprising that "A Policeman" did not take the initiative to sign up, but was invited by the Berlin Film Festival. What's even more interesting is that the Berlinale lasts for two weeks, and when it ends, it's time for the Oscars. And the fact that "A Policeman" won six Oscar nominations has already been circulated, whether it is from the time or from the invitation list, it seems to be a coincidence?

However, whether it is a coincidence or not, Yuanlong does not think that Berlin will give them a grand prize, so he is not interested.

I also want to say here that the Oscar awards, sometimes a lot of big companies fight each other, first have to have excellent films, and then have a good relationship with the judges, and strive to win the award, such as bribing the judges is not uncommon.

Since Yuan Long knew that he had been nominated, he had also hit the judges' ideas, such as going to New York to hold a party, but the faces of Asians have never been recognized by the mainstream society, and the effect is not good.

And Bai Lu looked like he didn't care about himself, Yuan Long discussed with Sun Jiaojiao, discussed with Yang Ling, and Liv also helped give advice behind Bai Lu's back, but that's all.

Liv is an American, even if she wants to help Bai Lu and Yuan Long, she must first follow the rules of mainstream American society, and those judges are playing personality one by one, who has the energy to please one by one? From the ecstasy after learning about the nomination, to now not talking about it, putting my mind on the new film can only be said to be a kind of helplessness.

Although under the helplessness, it is a heart full of anticipation of surprises.

I hope the judges like "A Policeman", hope that good luck will come, expect that there will be no shady scenes, and expect that expectations will come true.

Speaking of the Oscars, let's talk about the Golden Bear Award in Berlin, the Oscars sometimes favor commercial films, and many award-winning films are blockbusters that year. But there is almost no such possibility here in Berlin, where despite repeated moves closer to commercialization and maximizing commercialization as much as possible, films that can win awards must still be ideological, that is, they must have a literary and artistic style.

Therefore, if Yuanlong still has a flame of hope for Oscar, it is almost a small flame like a candle for Berlin.

However, the film festival took the initiative to send an invitation, just for the candle-like flame, and I had to go on a trip.

Yuan Long had the same plan as Bai Lu, to attend an opening ceremony, and then withdraw, but the direction of his withdrawal was the United States, and he wanted to drag Bai Lu to attend a gathering of industry elites, to put it bluntly, it was a reception held by a big film company and a big director, and they were building momentum for their nominated films.

Yuan Long has made two films for that company, which has a good box office and a good relationship, and he is one of the nominees for this year's awards, so he got an invitation.

As soon as the two met, Yuan Long asked Bai Lu about his itinerary in Berlin, and then put forward his own ideas. Bai Lu said: "I really don't have time. ”

Yuan Long shook his head and said, "I'm sorry for you." ”

This is equivalent to saying one thing, Yuan Long said: "I'm preparing a new film, I'll say hello to you first, and the studio will pick me up for a few days, about ten days." ”

Bai Lu said: "Use it as you like." ”

Yuan Long sighed: "That's okay, I'll go find Mr. Yang." ”

"What are you looking for her?" asked Bai Lu.

Yuan Long said: "Hire actors, I like the temporary performance you selected this time, I want a list, and another one, I still need dozens of beauties, and I have to negotiate the price." ”

Bai Lu smiled: "What kind of movie do you need dozens of beauties to make?"

Yuan Long also smiled: "I won't tell you." ”

Bai Lu said, "You're going crazy. ”

Yuan Long asked more: "Do you have confidence in Oscar?"

Bai Lu said: "What we want to win now is the Golden Bear Award, you tell me about the Oscar?"

Yuan Long didn't speak again, and waved his hand to find Yang Ling.

On the other side of the company, in the assistant's office, Man Happy took Shasha and Huahua to try on clothes, and Bao Bao and Yun Enhui were responsible for providing advice.

These three girls are the main actors of "That Year" and are going to stand for the film. (To be continued......)
