Chapter 398: Carrots, Carrots.
Officials hosting the Olympics? With Beijing's emphasis on the Olympics, this level will certainly not be low, and almost all politicians are excited: very simple, if Jennifer and the other party have had an ambiguous relationship that has met many times - or not ambiguous, old friends, or a relationship of interests, it is normal for the other party to let Jennifer's film enjoy privileges, and it does not mean that others can easily copy this treatment, unless the rest of the manufacturers also use similar means to form competition, but in any case, this is a scarce resource, It can only form a competitive relationship within Hollywood, which is of little significance to the secretary of state, but if there is no benefit transfer in such treatment, or the interest component is very weak, and the emotional tendency is stronger, then it means that the senior official ......
"From the speech, I can feel that he is full of affection for American culture, but he is limited by the surrounding environment and cannot fully express it-" Jenny took a sip of water, admiring the shining eyes of everyone listening to the gossip of high-ranking officials, and she used a lot of strength to stop her urge to laugh, "So I think he is not so much in favor of censorship and this disguised suppression-maybe you don't know, China's film and television drama market is very chaotic, I heard that there have always been owners who open up the market and introduce competition, Completely let the market come to the sculpture industry, but this radical idea has been suppressed internally - this is what my Chinese director friend told me. www.lWxS520.coM”
"You're talking about Zhang, right?" Jeff who has been listening intently. Robinov interjected, "But I thought that all domestic directors were the same as those Internet companies, and they didn't want China to open up its market." ”
"But they also want to circumvent censorship, and you know the criteria for that censorship are very vague, there's a lot of room for privilege rent-seeking, not even for money, but for some of the rarer resources -- and it's hugely influenced by the top." Jenny explained the authentic way, and she popularized science for her peers by the way. "So if these two things are to be bundled, domestic directors may have mixed feelings, but really good directors will have an expectant attitude, because even Director Zhang can't escape censorship."
She opened her eyes and said nonsense, "And the tricky point of this system is that it takes a lot of effort to solve it from the bottom up, and the result may not be ideal, because while you are working hard, your competitors in the same schedule are also working hard, and their way is definitely better than yours, because supporting domestic production is a banner of political correctness no matter which country." It is necessary to exert pressure from the top down in order to suppress competitors in the same file and strive for the treatment of simultaneous release. ”
"You're absolutely right," Christopher said. Dodd plays the role of an impatient questioner here, asking from the perspective of the industry as a whole, "Do you think this fan of yours has what it takes to push foreign films to increase their share and open up the market?" Or is he capable of cooperating with our requests? Or do you think he can only provide convenience for you alone - who is he at this point? ”
"I've found it." One of the secretary's think tanks said that it was he who had hinted that Jenny might have an affair with that person, and now, with a complicated look on his face, he held up his phone and said a name, "This is the head of the Olympic Games......
This familiar name made both the secretary of state and the senator speechless at the same time, and Bicks, who is not so sensitive to politics, asked, "Who is that?" ”
Regardless of his previous suspicions, Robert whispered to Bix's side, and Bix also fell into a state of speechlessness - well, this one has the ability to promote changes in the Chinese film market, and he is definitely capable of giving Jennifer a privilege with a greeting, but ...... This level of official, this is not at all accessible to ordinary interest groups, let alone to move him to make an exchange, to say what, this level is not even accessible to the secretary of state, unless the president is asked to come forward in the future...... Not to mention whether this is possible, but if the president is asked to mention this issue in the talks, this is already a national matter, even if the other side agrees with the demands of the United States, it must also include a series of strategic interest exchanges, which is part of political activities, even if you know his personal preferences, what is the point?
Well...... Maybe there is still meaning, at least for politicians, all the information is meaningful, who knows if China will have a Gorbachev? If the next one is full of affection for American culture...... Moreover, in state-to-state negotiations, even such a small piece of information can reduce a lot of unnecessary work, for example, if Jenny is talking about the one who is full of disgust about the idea of opening the market and absolutely unacceptable, then the US side can effectively allocate the focus of the negotiation in the negotiation. Therefore, neither the secretary of state nor the senator was disappointed, but carefully inquired about the details of Jenny's meeting at that time. - Jeff. Bix, after a few words of Dodd's explanation, quickly showed a stunned look: Beijing's re-election was in 2013, three years away from now, although this will definitely be very influential after 13 years, but it is conceivable that in terms of Beijing's political environment, he will definitely not promote such a sensitive matter before this. So even if this line works, it will be at least 13 years later, and ...... Seriously, at the level of the other party, it is difficult to say whether Jennifer's personal understanding is useful, basically, this information is waste for the studio.
"He looks majestic, but he's also very open-minded and charismatic......"
Jenny played a bunch of beautiful words based on her true impressions, and managed to make the meeting with a group of people in less than five minutes, and the polite 'I like your movie' sound full of endless meaning - technically, she wasn't lying, all the misleading information was preced by ' I think,' and as far as she can remember, Beijing's concessions and the increase in the number of imported films are indeed things that will happen in the next few years, so it can be inferred that the one is at least not very averse to the idea of opening up the film market, at least better than the idea of letting Google re-enter China - and it can be discussed. But as for saying that he has a good impression of American culture, it is pure nonsense, but this is 'I feel' anyway, is it still a sin for a movie star to be treated with the blue eyes of the future head of state, and to boast more and play a little more? I didn't see that Rodman and Kim Jong-un have become good buddies, and even publicly defended Kim with their eyes open and nonsense on talk shows, and no one did anything about him. No matter what the political consequences of her words are, it can't be done to her anyway, and besides, this candidate does limit the possibility of the lie being exposed, which is much better than proposing a high-ranking official who has never intersected with her out of nothing, after all, the latter is still very easy to debunk, and blatantly lying will attract the anger of both the political circles and the guild, and she will definitely die a very ugly death at that time.
Now, the political world feels that it has received valuable information, that it has eaten a lot, and even a little happy, and that the film industry is ......
If what Jenny said is true, then this problem is indeed expected to be solved in 4 or 5 years, and for the veteran politician Dodd, this has made him quite satisfied, and he feels that he has seen the light of day: any political event is tortuous, lengthy and full of repetitions, 4 or 5 years is really not a long time for an industry, and of course he can afford to wait. And Bix's face was a little lost: such a high-end resource that could not be competed for made him feel a little empty, and this information could not be quickly realized, nor could it allow Warner to take away the advantage of Big Dream.
As for Robert, his expression was also a little subtle - although he should be satisfied that Big Dream has such a strong fan of favor and can always enjoy the privilege, it can be seen that he does feel slightly sour that Big Dream's privilege is limited to Big Dream, even if he is sitting next to Warner's upper echelons, this sourness is not completely concealed, but shows a trace in his tone. "I finally understand - to be honest, Jennifer, you solved one of my big mysteries tonight: you know, when Disney and the Shanghai government signed the contract for the construction of Disneyland, they listed the guarantee of film introduction and synchronization as one of the conditions under the table - which is one of the big reasons why we chose Shanghai, they are the economic center, and they are closer to Beijing......"
He shook his head and didn't go any further, and Bix couldn't help but ask, "But it didn't go well, did it?" ”
"Our friends in Shanghai have made a lot of efforts, but in their terms." Robert shrugged, "This is an area of extreme importance from the upper echelons, and their level and energy are not enough-to be honest, before tonight, I really don't understand if it was she who has performed miracles again-"
He pointed at Jenny, "It's still our friend who is lying to me." ”
Although Jenny was proud, she didn't want to show off much, she just smiled implicitly, but there was still some lingering superiority in her smile, she and Robert glanced at each other, and quickly restrained the smile on her face, lowered her head and drank the drink......
This somewhat awkward atmosphere made the two Jeffs look at each other, and their expressions were a little more cheerful, but of course there was nothing unusual between the actions and words, Robinoff took care of Cesare, who had not spoken much, while Bix and Robert discussed the experience of dealing with the Chinese government and enterprises, thoughtfully let the embarrassment be eliminated and harmony returned, and the Secretary of State also quickly joined in, sharing a lot of interesting stories with her husband when he visited China, and also expressed the great importance of the film in China......
Very good...... The carrot was hoisted, and then when Warner Marvel was told that he had taken the contract for the adaptation of the "Codename Shero" comics, he should be able to get a positive reaction, and it will not affect the treatment of Big Dream when they cooperate in the future.
Taking in the reactions of the two Jeffs, Jenny also secretly exhaled: she is good at pretending to be stupid and shallow, and she also has a strong confidence in this, but if she does not greet and appease in advance, this will be the strongest insult to Robert. In exchange for his cooperation and play tonight, the peripheral development of "Codename Shero" is barely a good deal. - Of course, if she was not convinced that Robert had won the synchronization rights for a certain period of time through the contract of Shanghai Disneyland, and she might not be happy to see the other five enjoy the ride effect, and use similar means to exchange the synchronization rights, and then cause competition, but everyone will return to the same running line again, it will be difficult for her to come up with this solution under the premise that the privileges on Director Zhang's side cannot be shared.
Glancing at the big names at the table (Jenny was also snobbish and didn't care about the feelings of those little shrimps), Jenny's eyes were full of carrots - the secretary of state and senators saw the vision, Warner saw the hope of prying the wall, and Dodd saw a bright future for the industry...... This time, she paid for the adaptation rights that she was originally going to give away, in exchange for a happy ending, and did not offend the people she couldn't afford to offend - that is, almost everyone at the table.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and a little sad: Damn, it's not easy for a small company to develop, even if it's just a little advantage, it's all remembered by the big guys in front, and they don't hesitate to send the secretary of state to grab it.
Everyone has a carrot hanging in front of their eyes, they are all looking forward to the future, the atmosphere is relaxed and lively, and everyone has a good meal at this dinner.
