"Spielberg? Call me? Hearing this name, Liu Yufan's heart suddenly moved.

Counting up, it has been a few months since I met him at the last premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2". And the last time he came, he signed an agreement with him for a script, which was "Special Forces. The Rise of the Cobra. This is a movie that Liu Yufan himself likes very much. For him, this brand is not only a money-making tool, but also his expectations. Although the original director is not Berg, Liu Yufan believes that this film will only be made better if it is handed over to Berg.

But now that only a few months have passed, could it be that Berg has already finished filming? Liu Yufan knows that this is a big production, and it stands to reason that no matter how fast it is, it will not be completed at such a speed. You must know that Berg is a person who strives for perfection in movies and is very picky.

Hurriedly returning to his office, Liu Yufan picked up the phone, and Berg's very hearty voice immediately came from the other end of the microphone.

"Oh, Liu, I'm glad to hear you. I'm in Beijing now, can I meet? On the other end of the line, Berg said in fluent American English.

"Really? Mr. Berg, are you in China? When did it happen? Hearing Berg's words, Liu Yufan was surprised.

"Oh, yes, "Special Forces. The Rise of the Cobra" has just been completed recently, and I came to China to promote it. And I'm going to have a premiere in Beijing, so I'd like you to come and attend, how about it? Berg said on the other end of the phone.

"It's finished? I heard you right, Mr. Berg. How long has it been since you finished filming this film? How can it be so fast? Liu Yufan said in surprise.

"Oh, Liu. You don't know how hard I've been these months. Maybe I'm in too much of a hurry. I wanted to see it on the screen earlier, so I rushed some. But you also know that Hollywood has always been a place to make miracles. Although a few months are a little shorter. But it was enough for me to shoot it. Trust me, I'm definitely not cutting corners. Berg said half-jokingly on the other end of the phone.

During this time, Liu Yufan specially found a crash course in English. He strengthened his English vigorously, and he was not stupid in the first place, but now he has no problem having some simple conversations. After listening to Berg's words, Liu Yufan's heart was also very pleasantly surprised. The faster the film comes out, the sooner it can occupy the market, Liu Yufan also understands this.

Knowing that Berg came to China and was in Beijing, Liu Yufan naturally wanted to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. After inquiring about his location. Liu Yufan immediately drove him to the Sheraton Hotel and set up a sumptuous banquet to entertain him.

"Oh, Liu. You're just so kind. "Look at the table full of sumptuous food. Spielberg was amazed.

"Hehe, we Chinese have an old saying. It's called a guest from afar. When you arrive in China, I will naturally do my best to be a landlord. Come, Mr. Berg, I would like to give you a glass and wish us a happy cooperation! Liu Yufan looked at Berg and picked up his wine glass with a smile. Li Xin, who was with him, and several vice presidents of the company also picked up their cups. Seeing that the president and such an international-level director can talk and laugh, everyone's admiration for Liu Yufan is even stronger.

"Liu, you are such a wonderful person. Sometimes I really want to cut open your brain to see how many whims are in it. Do you know? This drama is the most satisfying one I have ever filmed. I dare to believe that as soon as it hits the market, it will definitely create a box office miracle again! Berg said confidently.

"Hehe, if that's the case, that's great. But I don't understand, Mr. Berg, in the past, China didn't seem to be the premiere market for Hollywood films, so why did you think of putting the premiere here this time? Liu Yufan asked with some incomprehension.

"Hehe, Liu, I have to ask you." Spielberg said, took a sip of red wine with enjoyment, and looked at Liu Yufan with a smile on his face.

"Ask me? How does this have anything to do with me? Liu Yufan said with some doubts.

"Of course, don't you know? Now your name is in the ears of those directors in Hollywood, but it is very famous. The miracle created by "Pirates of the Caribbean" made these guys itch in their hearts one by one. They're starting to pay attention to the Chinese market now, and of course, I'm too. A magical market that can create a billion-dollar box office miracle is something that no one will fail to value. Spielberg said with a smile.

"Hehe, you made the right decision." When Liu Yufan heard Berg say this, he somehow felt a sense of relief in his heart. In the past, when he watched those blockbusters, he usually looked for pirated copies on the Internet. It's not that he doesn't want to support the genuine. It's really that those blockbusters are too slow to enter the Chinese market, and after many things come in, they are artificially deleted into incomplete versions, and they can't be watched at all. And now, those foreigners finally realize the importance of the Chinese market. Thinking of this, he didn't feel that he remembered another company, Apple. That domineering old man, China has the largest number of fruit fans in the world, but he has never paid attention to the Chinese market. In this parallel world, the iphone has not yet been listed, and Liu Yufan can't help but YY in his heart. It is better to get the iphone out in advance and be the Apple of the Chinese. When the time comes, let Old Joe cry. Isn't there such a saying? It's called "Go other people's way, so that others have no way to go." ”

Thinking about it far away, after Liu Yufan thought about it for a while, he remembered something.

"By the way, Mr. Berg, you're going to have a premiere in China, I don't know if the film has been approved?" Liu Yufan asked with some concern. As we all know, the domestic review of foreign blockbusters has always been very strict. And the process is often very long, and it is normal for a film to drag on for a few months and a half.

Sure enough, hearing Liu Yufan mention this matter, Rao is the great director Berg, an international celebrity, also had a trace of sadness on his face at this moment.

"Hey, I'll tell you the truth, Liu, the efficiency of your Chinese officials is really low. My aides have been in contact with your State Administration of Radio, Film and Television a few times, not even once in person with the key officials, and the review process, oh my God, my men told me, they were going to collapse. There were more than a hundred formalities, different places to go, different stamps, and the officials needed us to eat with them, and at the wine table, oh my, they were terrible, and my assistants had a meal with them, and they threw up from night to the next morning. Hearing Liu Yufan ask about this, Berg began to complain for a long time.

Hearing Berg's words, Liu Yufan secretly laughed. In fact, every Chinese person is accustomed to the problems that Berg encountered. It's just that he is a foreigner, and it is the first time he has dealt with this kind of review mechanism in China, so he doesn't know what to do, and he can't accept it.

But after laughing, Liu Yufan immediately realized this problem. Berg had a problem, and he had a problem. After all, the sooner this movie is released, the sooner his earnings will arrive. Therefore, Liu Yufan decided to give him some help.

"Mr. Berg, the problem you are talking about does exist. Why don't you do it, I'll try and see if I can help you. Liu Yufan said, taking out his mobile phone.

"Really? Liu? Can you really help us get rid of those officials? Oh thank God, it would be great if that was the case. Hearing Liu Yufan's words, Berg said with a look of surprise. After his contact with the officials these days, he was really scared. It's funny to say that a dignified director, who exists like a giant in the film industry, is helpless in the face of this system, which may be called "interlaced like a mountain". Berg didn't know that China is a humane society, and if you don't have a lot of connections, no matter what you want to do, it will definitely not be so easy.

Listening to Berg's grateful words, Liu Yufan just smiled and nodded at him, but did not answer. Because his phone has already been dialed.

The phone rang a few times, and then it was answered.

"Brother Yufan? You finally remembered that your brother Fang was here, hehe. On the other end of the phone, Fang Yongping's hearty laughter came, and there were also some noisy background sounds, as if someone was drawing fists, and it could be heard that Fang Yongping should be at the dinner.

"Brother Fang, I'm really sorry, you're eating." As soon as Liu Yufan heard the movement on the other side, he understood and said apologetically. "It's okay, it's okay, you say, they're all brothers. Well, I said, be quiet. Fang Yongping muttered dissatisfiedly on the other end of the phone, and Liu Yufan immediately felt that the voice on the other side was much quieter.

"Brother Fang, there is really something to trouble you, are you familiar with the people of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television?" Liu Yufan asked with a smile.

"The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television? Cooked? They are Director Xie, and they will sit down with me at the same table for dinner now. You say, what's the matter, I'll let him work on the spot. On the other end of the phone, Fang Yongping said half-jokingly.

"Yo, really? So where are you now? If it's convenient, I'll go over and bother? Liu Yufan said with a smile.

"What do you say, brothers still talk like that, by the way, where are you?" On the other end of the phone, Fang Yongping said with a smile.

"Hehe, I'll eat in your restaurant, there are guests." Liu Yufan said with a smile.

"Wait a minute, you're at Sheraton? Which room? Fang Yongping asked quickly.

"Room 6008 on the sixth floor." Liu Yufan said casually.

"You'll wait for me for a while." On the other end of the phone, after Fang Yongping said a word, he hung up the phone in a hurry.

Liu Yufan was puzzled, and within half a minute, the door of the private room opened. Liu Yufan's position was facing the door, so he recognized it at a glance, it was Fang Yongping who got up, and behind him, there was a man in a suit and a beautiful woman in uniform.

"Yo, Brother Fang, you're here too." Seeing Fang Yongping come in, Liu Yufan immediately stood up and said hello with a smile.
