Chapter 311: J's Guidance

"Affected by the scandal, "Monroe" was postponed again, Jennifer finally became the final winner, and Monroe's global box office exceeded 700 million ......"

""Twilight" is down in Japan, and Japanese girls are chasing vampire Robert. Parkinson's, the global box office has exceeded 400 million, and "Twilight 2" became the most anticipated movie in 2009"

"The Twilight couple sparked, and Edward and Bella saw each other frequently in real life, for the sake of the film, or for the company of each other?"

"Marley and Me" has a global box office of 300 million, animal comedy has made great contributions, and the tear-jerking scene at the end is the best 50 moments of the year', do you have any touching stories with your dog?"

Jennifer. Jefferson continued to evaporate from the world, and after speaking out through PR, she once again briefly thanked her friends for their support, but her whereabouts are still a mystery. Vijery returned to Beverly Hills a few days ago to start working, and a large number of paparazzi followed"

"Bodyguards protect themselves, the Nuggets boy has a big shelf, no one followed him in the past, and now the four bodyguards are close to him, and they are not allowed to take pictures from the paparazzi, Cesare has an arrogant attitude"

"After the rumours of the Oscars, the relationship between the fresh fiancé has changed and the relationship is on the verge of breakdown, Cesare can't bear the pressure of being the focus of attention, and proposes to break up, and Jennifer stays at the resort to wash her face in tears"

“b?! Jennifer is pregnant and recuperating in a resort abroad, and the reins of the company are completely handed over to Cesare."

"Cesare. Vijery looked at the mansion, the original cottage couldn't bear the requirements of the actress, and bought another mansion after marriage? Wedding time set? ”

Cesare returned to Hollywood for seven days to meet with more than 20 rights brokers, to make the IP market bigger, who is the next "Twilight"?"

Disney announced that it will cooperate with Big Dream to develop a classic fairy tale series, and the big productions have been finalized one after another, and the two sides have reached an in-depth cooperation intention, will Jennifer herself star? I don't know."

"Brad. Gray left the IRS office building, tired and got into the car, refusing to be interviewed, he may have made a deal with the IRS to pay an astronomical fine privately"

"Paramount internal adjustments? External spokesperson refutes rumors: The board of directors is very satisfied with Brad, and the IRS is a personal issue and does not affect official business"

…… Although April is relatively the off-season for all kinds of news, after the lively February and March of 2009, April this year is also very busy for reporters and editors, and the follow-up of various news needs to be followed up, of course, there is Jennifer who has not appeared. Jefferson is also worthy of their attention - since she won the Oscar in February, she has basically been hiding from anyone, and this level of avoidance really makes people wonder if she is pregnant, or really has a nervous breakdown, something that cannot be seen in front of people, otherwise, even if Jennifer is filming or on vacation, the paparazzi will always know where she is staying and what she is doing, unlike now, they don't know anything about Jennifer - except for one thing, which is that she does trust Cesare very much. Vijerry really handed over the power to his new fiancé, and let him make a drastic transformational investment with Big Dream: so far, in addition to those IP scandals, Big Dream is most likely to produce a classic fairy tale adaptation series in cooperation with Disney, and this kind of large-scale commercial works, including the heroine series cooperated by Warner and Big Dream, are all comic adaptations and special effects films, which are somewhat contrary to the small-budget films that Big Dream was good at before, of course, Big Dream has invested in some big productions, But whether they have the ability to independently produce blockbusters with hundreds of millions of budgets is still questionable, and from an outsider's point of view, Jennifer is indeed a little carried away, which is equivalent to handing over a company that has found a profit model to her fiancé whose commercial ability has not yet been proven, and let him toss the company again - if it weren't for falling in love, this investor and producer who has always had a very unique vision probably wouldn't have made such a bold decision......

"Jane, on this point, to be honest, I'm also very curious, how is your Hollywood investment model working, we also have some capital here that wants to enter the American market, but I feel that some good projects, it is difficult for outsiders to enter, including your big dream, it has always been a small investment to create miracles, in fact, in other words, it is difficult for you to win a profitable project." In a luxury resort in the mountains of Changbai Mountain, with the snowy scenery outside the window, Director Zhang, who is relatively close to Jenny, also opened the topic through this news, and beside him, whether it was Mr. Han, Producer Zhang, or another middle-aged man with a relatively unfamiliar face, who was also the owner of this resort, they all unconsciously changed their postures and showed a focused expression. "We've done some research on the U.S. market, and last year several of your films performed very well, and in fact they had a very high market share in the domestic market, but now your in-depth cooperation with Disney is still relatively risky, and Disney may still be reluctant to open their signature "Pirates of the Caribbean" series to your capital entry, right?"

After a few days of careful hospitality, they all affirmed that Jenny's Chinese level is almost close to her native language, so Director Zhang no longer deliberately slowed down when speaking, used Mandarin, and even brought some local accents, and the tone of the questions was more intimate and casual, no longer so proportional - although the two sides may not have a lot of contact, but Beijing has always been very sincere to Jennifer, several movies of Big Dream are released simultaneously in China, uncut, China Film's publicity is also in place, and the box office is very good, Although it is said that the share of Big Dream must be taken in accordance with the regulations, in fact, the share taken is not very high, but after Jennifer won the fifth Oscar, China Film has stated that it can even do sky-high batch of films in the future, and the price of batch films can be negotiated higher than the normal share - if this is the case, then in the next few years, at least in the case of the box office share of imported films has not changed and the total amount of imported films per year is limited, Big Dream may be the company that can cut the most out of China's growing pie.

There is sincerity here in Beijing, Jennifer's response here has always been very face-giving, just this time, she just announced the marriage, the new film is being produced and filmed, she also has to prepare for the wedding, when the new project is discussed, she can also run to China, specially to Director Zhang's new film "Jinling Thirteen Horses" to do planning guidance, this sincerity is very touchable, and after a few days of contact, everyone can also feel Jennifer's sincerity, this is not just a good problem she speaks in Chinese - different from the average Hollywood big name, Whether it is Mr. Han, or Producer Zhang, Deputy General Manager Liu, as long as there is an industry insider, they all feel that they have benefited a lot, and feel that the previous efforts can be said to have been rewarded with great value - the relationship between the two sides seems to have crossed another hurdle, and it has risen to the level of 'their own people'.

"The investment threshold, right? This is indeed a question worth discussing. Hearing Director Zhang's question, Jenny couldn't help laughing - after chatting in the past few days, she felt that regardless of her status, almost all the big people who accompanied her were most interested in this topic: maybe this sounds a bit official, but it is indeed because after entering the new millennium, with the development of the economy, both businessmen and officials have felt the urgency of cultural expansion, and there is also the motivation to do so. And whether you want to make money in Hollywood, or learn something new from Hollywood, to make your industry go to the world, to catch up with this industrial system, you have to start from entering Hollywood.

And these bureaucrats or businessmen and directors are actually not stupid at all, no matter what the reason, they have found that injecting capital into Hollywood is the most appropriate way, so they are more concerned about how to get capital into Hollywood than getting one or two best foreign language films. As for Director Zhang and Producer Zhang, first of all, they also have film and television production companies, and they also want to really enter the mainstream market, so their position in this area is similar to that of several officials or former officials and businessmen here, and they have a tacit understanding with each other, and there is no competition - no matter how many means this fresh veteran always used to move the meeting place to Changbai Mountain, at least in Jenny's opinion, they are still very clear about the main contradiction now: facing Beverly Hills, which is full of barriers, We must work together to open a gap, so now is not the time to engage in internal competition, on the contrary, we should unite, learn from experience, cooperate and cooperate, and wait until the market is opened, the first to share the cake must be the first batch of people to enter, no one can lose.

Of course, if there is no good opportunity for her, these forces will not develop like this, Jenny really doesn't know, for her, in addition to making some guidance on "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" and Director Zhang's dream of rushing to the Olympics, she is also taught and classless in other knowledge, and will not distinguish between relatives and relatives, after all, regardless of public or private, this is what she should do - Yu Gong, the developed ones are all her connections, if she can gain a foothold in Hollywood, Da Meng will also have one more ally, not to mention Yu private, She is not the kind of person who is very enthusiastic about patriotism, but Jenny is still happy to do this kind of thing to help the emotional expansion of the motherland's culture.

"In fact, Hollywood does have a very serious problem of investment barriers," she also adjusted her posture and introduced Hollywood's commercial competition eloquently, "This barrier exists both internally and externally, for internal enterprises, Hollywood's six major are through their own capital advantages, attracting high-quality IP and high-quality crews to gather on them, and once this scale effect is formed, it is difficult to be broken, maybe for China, a profitable project it is a case, there will be some accidental factors, There is also a strong smell of success due to people - either the distribution is particularly capable, or the marketing is particularly capable, but this is not the case in Hollywood, maybe in a small company or this model, with the turnover of personnel, the performance of a film will also fluctuate, my distribution department was originally very capable, but now that the collective job, then my new film distribution will be affected, maybe it will lose money. But for the Big Six, the flow of a few people can't affect anything at all, and each of their films will not damage the results because of the publicity, because the scale and system have been formed, and hundreds of people in the entire distribution department, as long as they don't all leave at once, more than a dozen people don't have a great impact on them, because the system is here, and new talents will soon adapt and cultivate, which is the role of the assembly line. ”

Several general managers all showed contemplative expressions, and Old Man Han shook his head slightly: they know best where the domestic film industry is developing now, and a film company of this scale does not exist in China.

"So it's very difficult for your small company to compete with large companies, there are good projects, everyone wants to be the six major investments, because the six are reliable, only if there is no choice, the six can't look at it, it will be sent to you, in the copyright competition, the six have innate advantages, and then in hardware, software is almost like this, there is a circle between them, the movie with an investment of 200 million is a game that only belongs to the big six, not only the big six can afford this budget, but only the big six can spend the budget, The rest is like - China Film, I'll give you a budget of $200 million, can you give me a copy of "Transformers"? It's unlikely, you don't know how to spend the money, and even after the Big Six are filmed, the global distribution will be handed over to you, and you don't know how to do it, because you don't have this experience, you can only grope for it, and the Big Six have their own set of formed systems, and only they can support it. Including how to plan a budget of 200 million US dollars, do a good job in risk control and cash flow budget at this level, as well as the planning of the entire publicity, which is not covered by Big Dream, so if you don't want to pay tuition, then even if you have this budget, it is best to cooperate with a large company, and you can follow a large company to do one or two, your own people know how to do it, and you know how to do it best in terms of your company's internal management structure," Jenny took a sip of water, "But it is impossible for a large company to take you to do it without reason, No matter how good your idea is, they are not willing to cooperate with you to cultivate a competitor, they think that your idea is good, you can take it and do it yourself, it is difficult for you to hold this accountable, or they buy ideas with you, this is all possible, so if capital wants to enter Hollywood, it is actually one point - to find a place to impress big companies, so that these big kids are willing to take you to play. ”

"Like Big Dream, cooperate with Disney, because Disney is half the parent company of Big Dream, we are a closed equity company, this is me and my fiancé, Disney, the company of the three of us, so Disney is willing to cooperate with us in this series of projects adapted from classic fairy tales, although they know that after doing so, Big Dream may also be able to independently do hundreds of millions of big projects, but Disney doesn't care - the Chinese have an old saying, fat water does not flow into outsiders' fields," Jenny used an idiom, It caused a burst of soft laughter in the room, and continued to say, "We are also working on a big project with Warner, because I have my own participation, Warner knows that they don't cooperate with some people who will cooperate, so it makes no sense to close the channel, but you can imagine that Warner will definitely be more defensive in this kind of cooperation, unless you deepen the depth of cooperation, otherwise there are some things they are still unwilling to open to big dreams, these most precious experiences are the wealth of large companies, if you are not your own people in large companies, Or there are some things that make them salivate, no matter how high-quality the project in your hand is, how sincere your share requirements are, they are still unwilling to really open up to you to cooperate, even if they are for your money, I will cooperate with you to develop, but they still have a way to close the core things to you, so that you can't learn the real thing. ”

"So what do you think we can do to impress the big companies?" Several CEOs listened attentively, and Producer Zhang almost couldn't wait to ask, "Because you also know that our capital has had an ideological problem in the past, and it may be subject to greater resistance than European capital—"

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Lao Zhang is right."

A concurring voice suddenly sounded in the tea room, and several bosses were a little moved, "Maybe there are many things, he is not sensitive, and he does not touch any core area, but as long as you Chinese go to buy it, you are not willing to sell it to you, you just don't like to cooperate with you——"

"Especially for some media companies, especially in this case, the local government does not support the ...... in the first place."

Let these excited CEOs get together and complain to each other, Jenny took a leisurely sip of tea, and nodded secretly: This is indeed the case in Hollywood, after all, the media plays the role of an ideological propaganda tool everywhere, so it is also an area that the government cares about, so although Hollywood's annual output value is tens of billions of dollars, it has received attention, and the importance of the government's hearts and people's hearts can be said to be almost second only to Wall Street, and Chinese capital wants to enter Hollywood. There will be the strongest ideological discrimination -- not to mention the most sensitive Hollywood, even in some less sensitive areas, the acquisition of Chinese capital will trigger a backlash of national sentiment, even if I sell to my own people at a low price, I am not willing to sell to Red China, this kind of thinking is indeed common. However, she pointed out this point, including the passive position of Big Dream, in addition to letting entrepreneurs understand the difficulties they face, it is also a bit of a rainy day, blocking some proposals that are not easy to refuse - if China Film wants to enter the fairy tale adaptation, and Big Dream refuses, the relationship between the two sides will definitely be estranged, and Big Dream will never agree to this request, even if Disney will agree, this will make Big Dream's political position seem too suspicious, after these preventive shots, if China Film really has the sincerity to continue to cooperate, Then it won't be opened.

"So what Producer Zhang said is very reasonable, to open this gap, you must make the big company realize that you also have the resources he wants." She pouted with an 'unfathomable' smile and pointedly, "Of course, this is the way of snakes and rats, and the situation of each company is different, according to my understanding, the most attractive thing about Hollywood in China right now is the rapid box office market - this is the cake." ”

She drew a circle and made a cake-cutting action, "And - IMHO, Beijing's closed review process, as well as a very policy-oriented film scheduling standard, seems to be only two, but in fact there are even fewer, fundamentally speaking, there is only one schedule allocation resources caused by the introduction of companies, this is a knife to divide the cake, in Hollywood, the market is an open big cake, the six big ones have made a knife to cut the cake with technical thresholds and scale effects, in China, the cake is still this piece of cake, But the knife that cuts the cake boils down to one sentence: policy -- this is power. ”

Relying on her identity as a foreigner, Jenny spread her hands and said bluntly, "With power, there is room for rent-seeking, I think this is the biggest bargaining chip that the Chinese market can trade with Hollywood, if there is no such bargaining chip, even if Chinese companies are sincere and rich, they may not be able to enter Hollywood, after all, why should big companies take care of you?" They don't need you, they can run amok in the Chinese market and take a large chunk of the year's box office, can't they? ”

Seeing that several of the general characters were silent, showing thoughtful expressions, and even some people seemed to suddenly realize, cast admiring eyes at Jenny, Jenny of course smiled and did not say anything on the surface, creating her own wise image, but she also wiped a handful of sweat in her heart - I don't know why, pretending to be forced in front of her own people, the shame seems to be particularly strong, although she relies on her own 'unique' analysis and ' Selfless' sharing impressed a few people present, but she didn't have a sense of accomplishment at all, on the contrary, she was quite embarrassed, and even a little guilty: these insights are indeed not low, because ...... This is all the strategy she adopted from these big names in the parallel world in the next few years...... Summed up ...... If it weren't for the big dream, she really wouldn't be able to use other people's wisdom to pretend to be forced in front of others......

In fact, Jenny herself also feels it, which is also a reflection of her own improvement, because although these strategies are ready-made, no one will summarize it and preach it, she may have only seen the news of "Iron Man 3" and DMG Pictures in her previous life, but she would not have thought that this was actually an attempt by the domestic film industry to use its own policy advantages to start entering Hollywood, including the current Mr. Wang gave up direct investment in American film and television companies, but first invested in American theaters, and then began to form film companies in China, The strategy of entering the film and television industry, taking advantage of its domestic film scheduling, gaining a first-mover advantage, and then entering the Hollywood film and television production industry is to maximize the use of the relatively closed domestic market and the expansion of the policy of protecting domestic production. Isn't it the relationship between DMG and China Film that is important? Without this relationship, "Iron Man 3" may not be able to be released simultaneously with the United States, and it will almost certainly lose the prime time of May Day under the strong competition of domestic films of the same period. This may also be a tragicomedy performance, it is undeniable that this unique censorship system has stifled the possibility of the maturity of the domestic film and television industry, but because of this, domestic capital has also unexpectedly embarked on a path, and within a few years it has contributed to the possibility of in-depth cooperation between China and the United States in film and television - to tell the truth, if it were not for the sharing of co-productions, as well as some hidden discounts after entering the game, Hollywood would not have been so keen to add Chinese elements to blockbusters......

Of course, for the big dream, it is also happy to see that the big guys have the idea of using this to make profits earlier, after this year's "Avatar", the Chinese market will officially enter the eyes of Hollywood, and just like all power has room for rent-seeking, all closed markets, rent-seeking power also needs a broker, Jenny still doesn't dare to think about what to serve the big guy comfortably, and she can only say a few words about the schedule - this is a little too obscene, but even if it is just to grasp some space for activities, With the frequent bombs in the Chinese market in the next few years, it will form a pry force, so that the other end of the seesaw across the sea of the big dream is higher, and the strategic space is more relaxed - after all, Cesare's point of view is reasonable, construction and win-win are always the first priority ideas, now relying on ruthlessness, the big dream may be at ease in the short term, but you can't treat competitors as fools, now everyone is polite to you, but they realize that you may have a bomb in your hand, And they haven't dealt with your killer moves yet, and when they also dig out some black materials of Da Meng (Da Meng is not clean in the development process, it must be admitted that there is a possibility), Da Meng's offensive is very fierce, and the ruthlessness at this time may be exchanged for the determination of his opponent to fight the snake and die.

Jenny now feels more and more that this sentence is very reasonable - come out to mix, always have to pay back, big dream chooses to be ruthless, you must have the consciousness of facing ruthlessness, and if you want to eliminate this hidden danger, then through your own hand, cut the cake of China, and divide it into the hands of the six big ones - this is also a train of thought, the more common interests of the big six and the big dream, the weaker the determination to turn the other face, just like this time, although the big dream has already obtained 10% of the domestic share, but Disney, Warner, Fox is not just sitting on the sidelines, Didn't you fall into the well......

"Indeed, your statement is particularly reasonable, and it also gave me a lot of inspiration, now I see, I am definitely not in a hurry to enter the US market," after a period of digestion and absorption, Producer Zhang nodded while also saying with a little admiration, "Really, these words just feel like they came out of my head, and it feels like something has been pierced, and it is all bright at once - it is really enlightening and beneficial, Mr. Wang, do you also have a similar feeling?" I saw that you just nodded your head, as if I was very touched. ”

"Indeed, indeed, I feel that Miss Jennifer has a special vision of the big picture and forward-looking, and this kind of courage is indeed not comparable to ordinary people." Mr. Wang also nodded again and again.

Jenny couldn't help but feel embarrassed, she was sincerely humble, "I just have a personal opinion, just say it, don't take it seriously-"

After some humility and politeness, Mr. Han also asked from another angle, "I heard what you mean just now, the movies you cooperated with Disney and Warner are already high-quality resources, and they are good resources, not something that we outsiders can get, right?" So what do you think is going to be a big deal about this kind of film adaptation in the next few years? Do you think this kind of film has a future in the Chinese market? Can we localize your thinking? ”

Although he is also a pinnacle figure standing at the top of the industry, in front of Jenny, he is also very sincere in seeking advice, and he does not have a feeling of low status, and everyone present does not care - after all, Jenny is now one of the world's biggest movie names, last year's movies with her brand won nearly 2.4 billion box office worldwide, and her own production of "Monroe" alone took 700 million US dollars, while the total box office of mainland films is only less than 700 million US dollars, this gap is indeed very intuitive, the numbers are here, If you don't respect her opinion, you are indeed resting on your laurels.

Speaking of a series of collaborations on fairy tale adaptations, although this is also a trend she judged through the improvement of her vision, which is equivalent to absorbing Disney's wisdom for her own use, Jenny's unnaturalness is much less, and she still feels a little proud - if it weren't for her current extreme familiarity with the filmmaking process, Jenny would have been difficult to estimate Disney's change in mentality and profit from the big dream: according to the time lag between the inception and the final release of a movie, Disney began a series of film adaptation attempts in 13 years, It should have been promoted by "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" at the beginning of 10, it was this film that allowed them to rediscover the potential of fairy tale adaptation films, and began to shoot projects one after another, "OZ", "Maleficent", "Cinderella" and "Beauty and the Beast", spanning up to seven years, but in fact, they can all string back the billion box office of "Alice", to say farther, if you want to go back, you have to string back the hunger of 3D movies and visual spectacle movies caused by "Avatar", which is the greatness of cross-era masterpieces, Its influence can lead to a change in the trend of cinema for an entire era, whether directly or indirectly.

Knowing this, Jenny can guess that Disney's confidence in re-adapting fairy tales is not so sufficient, in fact, "Alice" was only established with her support, and this kind of judgment of the market is the core bargaining chip that Big Dream uses to cooperate with Disney - when Disney does not dare to do it, Big Dream dares to do it, giving Disney the confidence of this kind of investment, and also makes Disney's management and even the board of directors even have the confidence to invest. Psychologically, there is also a tendency and reason to cooperate with Big Dream, after all, no matter what, this project was proposed by Big Dream, and Big Dream is half of his own person, so there is no need to get rid of it. If you wait until "Alice" is successful to mention this, then Disney has no reason to take care of big dreams, and it will even affect the relationship between the two companies: "Alice" is so sold, fools know to follow the trend and continue to do this genre, do you still need big dreams to grab jobs? This kind of high-quality investment that makes sure you don't lose money, of course, belongs to the production of fairy tales is the traditional strength of the main part, what is your big dream?

As for how to analyze the advantages of this project, it is too easy for Jenny, who can already predict the results in advance and is now considered half an expert in the industry, but she does not approve of Chinese films copying Hollywood's model so simply, because this model has a strong dependence on industrial process control, and outstanding and rich special effects experience. But this is actually a devastating bloodsucking of the industry, and the reputation of domestic films continues to decline, that is, all domestic box office records still belong to Hollywood blockbusters, no matter how strong the domestic film lineup is, it never dares to collide with Hollywood blockbusters, and even from the common sense cognition, domestic special effects films are inferior, and the quality is inferior to Hollywood, which is not good for the positive development of the industry.

However, looking at Mr. Han's eager expression, Jenny also sighed secretly: domestic superstitious special effects are not without reason, the rampant piracy environment and the lack of people's awareness of watching movies, and the excessively high ticket prices have made it difficult for movies without special effects to make achievements at the box office in 2008 and 2009, and this is not a reality that she can change in a few words. Pirates of the Caribbean, actually, I think it should be called a quasi-premium resource......"

#

It still snows in the Changbai Mountains in April, and when the southernmost residents of the country have begun to wear short clothes, Jenny and Director Zhang, who are walking in the mountains, still need to wear down jackets to keep warm.

"Regarding "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", as I said, your idea is definitely not good to win the award, the Olympic Award judges pay great attention to political correctness, this oriental culture may indeed be unsuitable, prostitutes. Female sacrifice this for schoolgirls in our ...... In China, this may be a touching sacrifice, a protection of purity, but in Hollywood this is politically incorrect and professional discrimination, it is impossible to be recognized, if you want to win the award, this must be changed, but in fact, if you don't really want to win the award, it doesn't matter, the quality of the work must come first, if you can't find the feeling after the core idea is changed, then you may not be able to get the award......"

made her own comments and speculations about this movie, emphasizing a few possible points, looking at Director Zhang who nodded again and again, Jenny also fell into a short silence - although she boasted that she still had a certain level of grasp of people's hearts, but now, even she couldn't see what choice Director Zhang would make, and this also made her wonder whether she was pointing at Director Zhang or hindering him from creating a masterpiece, is it really worth it to do this for the Oscars?

"Of course," she spoke again after a moment of silence, giving Director Zhang the statement that he might need the most, "If you are really interested in the award, you can contact me as soon as the film is completed, my PR company, and of course some personal relationships will also be open to you, and then you may have to come to Hollywood a few times to meet some friends and have dinner...... This can all be arranged. ”

Looking at Director Zhang's expression becoming clear from listening, and nodding slowly, she sighed in her heart, did not continue to speak, but turned her head and looked at the silhouette of the mountain peak in the distance: in the lighting of the villa, some residual snow on the top of the low peak can be faintly seen, and the mountain breeze seems to have a bit of a cold taste, which also makes her who lives in the tropics all year round really feel a little uncomfortable.

"Thank you for the past few days, Jennifer," after the two walked silently for a while, Director Zhang took the initiative to break the comfortable silence, and also recalled some of Jenny's wandering thoughts, he said in a sincere tone, "For four or five days, every day has been teaching us almost non-stop - patronizing and caring about us, talking about our affairs, and not asking about you yet-I watched your "A Week with Monroe", it is indeed a masterpiece, there is nothing to say, it is definitely a peak, this film won the award, to be honest, I am convinced, Indeed, it can be appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar, just like the public relations idea you said, in fact, it is not deception, it is just to find an angle and say its own truth - whether it is an award or our film, we need to find a balance between artistry and commerciality, and we cannot lose our watchability, this is the reason...... However, it seems that I haven't heard of your new film in the past few months, what are your plans for next? Make some commercial films first, the action movie you are talking about, and then the fairy tale adaptation? ”

"After the action movie is filmed, I won't make commercial films for the time being," Jenny shook her head and said quietly, "The positioning of the fairy tale adaptation film is too young for me to act, which is a drain on the actors themselves...... I don't have a goal for the time being, but I still want to act in some in-depth films. ”

She smiled, "Of course, I can't expect to win another prize—"

Director Zhang also laughed, and in the midst of the laughter, Jenny continued, "So in fact, from the perspective of making money, it is more time-saving and labor-saving to make commercial films, or I will stop making films and concentrate on managing the company - but ...... I still want to make something meaningful, something that can stay, not for awards, not for the box office, I just want to do it. ”

The two of them were about to walk back to the tea room, but Director Zhang stopped, he took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, and in the slightly hazy darkness, the light and dark cigarette butts shook up and down - he nodded with the cigarette in his mouth.

"Yes...... he said a little vaguely, "I have talked so much, I have made up my mind so many times, and during the day you are all concerned about those things, capital, enclosure, cake, profit, influence, how important those things are, too important, so important......"

Spit out a puff of white smoke, Director Zhang shook the ash of the cigarette casually, looked up at the moon and stomped his feet, and said slowly, "But-"

Jenny whispered, "yes, but it's night......"

"Lao Zhang-" In the distance, someone poked his head out of the window of the tea room and greeted Director Zhang and Jennifer familiarly--it was Producer Zhang, "Miss Jennifer, come over and have some supper, it can be regarded as a farewell for you-"

"Hey, here we go." Director Zhang returned to normal again, and he nodded at Producer Zhang, "Wait until I'm done smoking this cigarette." ”

Jenny didn't move either, she tightened her down jacket tightly, stood aside and waited for Director Zhang, Director Zhang took two big puffs in succession, threw the cigarette butt to the ground, crushed her feet hard, and exhaled a long puff of white smoke.

"I'm very happy to know that you're still planning to make an art film," he said, extending his hand to Jenny and formally handshaking him, "really—I'm looking forward to seeing your new work, and I'm here to wish you all the best." ”

-- To be honest, Jenny has always arranged this line in China, in addition to some of her own feelings, there are also factors for big dreams, and she has no special feelings for these legendary big people, just like she has for Robert . Like Egger, you will have a good time talking and laughing with her, and you will have a relationship with each other, but Robert is still hardly a true friend in her heart. And Director Zhang is the same, he let her get her first international film festival actress, and also opened a new network, Jenny is grateful to him for this, but before tonight, before this moment, she didn't really see Director Zhang as a human individual, he was a vague symbol in her heart, a bargaining chip that could be used, just like she was to him - until this moment, she really felt that she and Director Zhang had established a real personal connection, Director Zhang's image was really clear in her heart, and she began to invest in Director Zhang's feelings, and she had a feeling of closeness, and a feeling that might be described as sympathy.

"I've borrowed your kind words." She held Director Zhang's hand tightly, shook it up and down, looked into Director Zhang's eyes, and said sincerely, "I also wish you all the time to make the movies you want - I think this is the greatest happiness for a director." ”

"Yes, now I want to shoot "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" well." Director Zhang seemed a little surprised by Jenny's reply - of course he didn't expect Jenny to be so clear about his difficulties, and this kind of 'just' greetings to the sore spot seemed to make the seasoned director a little flustered, he smiled disguisedly, and said with a slight teasing, "This is the movie I want to make now, from this point of view, I am happier than you, I already have the movie I want to make, but the next role you want to play, this may not really know where it is." ”

"yes." Jenny also returned to normal, she took out her phone to look at the time, and echoed with a smile, "Where will the next character that makes my heart flutter......"
