Chapter 355: Exciting News
Glancing at the watch on his wrist, there are still 50 minutes before the agreed time, at this time, it should be more than six o'clock in the evening in China, Reporter He's top boss is Wang Zhiyu, President of the International Department of NEW Waves, although the number of people in the Hollywood office is very small, and the relationship between Reporter He and another colleague is also in the ranks of ordinary employees in the International Department, but the implicit specifications are quite high, and the opinions of Reporter He can go straight to President Wang, which is also the biggest reason why he dares not to manage Chen.
Time was running out, and after a little hesitation, Reporter He still gave up on managing these domestic colleagues with solidified thinking.
"Lao Lin," Reporter He pointed to the question on the computer, "You immediately contact Mr. Wang and give him the interview transcript for confirmation." ”
Lao Lin is another reporter stationed in Hollywood with him, and he is his supporter among the eight people, and everything is arranged by him.
This is also the proper meaning of the question, and Reporter He did not say that he objected to the questions raised by Chen Guan and others, but only said that it would be handed over to the higher authorities for checks, which is an inevitable action in China. Chen manages these old employees who are mixed in China, and there will be no irrational objection to this point, otherwise no one can be sure what kind of impression the news will leave in the ears of President Wang.
As the head of the international department, the phone in the Hollywood office must be connected 24 hours a day, and many messages in Hollywood are time-sensitive. Of course, at this time, China's domestic entertainment news portals are not competing with social media influencers, but other portals.
Mr. Wang answered the phone, then hung up quickly, and after about 5 minutes, it was broadcast again.
"Is this an interview draft?"
"Well, it was prepared by Chen Management and several colleagues in China." Reporter Lin was not stunned by Chen Management's wide eyes at all, and a foreign correspondent like him should not be too popular in various companies. He didn't plan to move up the ranks, so of course there was no need to be cautious about Chen's management. Moreover, his understanding of Hollywood is not at all comparable to that of Chen Guan, a group of novices from China, so he naturally understands what kind of stupid thing Chen Guancheng and others planned to do just now.
"What about Lao He? Isn't it Daniel who Lao He contacted? Why is it a question proposed by Chen Wenjun. ”
The fidelity effect of the phone call is not good, at this time, everyone is listening to the side, Mr. Wang's attitude is clear enough even if it is across the entire Pacific Ocean, and the dissatisfaction in his tone is almost overflowing. At this time, the sensitivity cultivated by the company's politics suddenly returned.
"Ugh. That, Mr. Wang, I, I thought, it's rare to have an interview, and you should try to ask as much as possible about the news that Chinese netizens want to see, if you just ask some innocuous questions, wouldn't it be a waste of this opportunity. "Management Chen began to feel a little weak. As he spoke, he felt that he had a point.
Reporter Lin, who was taken away by him, looked at him indifferently.
“……”
Mr. Wang on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, which made Chen Guan and others feel some joy for the rest of their lives, maybe Wang was always convinced?
"Chen Wenjun. Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? It's rare to have an interview, and you're going to end up on the road? It's a rare interview, and who gives you the confidence that he will answer these questions? Have you investigated the news that Chinese netizens want? Do you dare to say that these are what Chinese netizens want? Readers of NEW waves don't care about anything other than scandals and cheating? You also asked him directly about his net worth. Who are you? Are you from the CIA? What about Lao He? ”
At this time, the management style of Chinese enterprises is still relatively rough, although the NEW wave has undergone some capital operations. Even as early as the end of the last century, Sha Zhengzhi, a professional manager, was hired from Silicon Valley to serve as the company's CEO, so it is generally a little more formal than some family businesses. But as it is now, it is not very strange that middle and low management are scolded as dogs by their superiors.
What's more, Wang is always the head of the international department, but not only the head of the international department, at this time the NEW international department is still very weak, not worthy of a special senior management position, Mr. Wang is also the deputy editor-in-chief of NEW Lang, and is quite a high authority within the system.
Hearing that he was looking for Lao He, reporter Lin hurriedly shouted.
Lao He hurried out after a while.
"Mr. Wang, I sent you an interview script, you can take a look."
The sound of mouse clicks came from the other end of the "......" phone, and a few questions were almost the same at a glance, and there was no delay in time.
Soon, there was movement on the phone again.
"Cheng, just follow this, Lao He, I can rest assured that you will do things, the most important thing is to maintain the relationship, communicate more and more, we will definitely not be wrong to hold this line. In addition, you are solely responsible for the affairs over there, and anyone else, without my direct authorization, is arranged by you. ”
"Okay, then I'll get ready, and I'll start the interview later."
Mr. Wang didn't even give Chen the last sentence. Reporter Lin looked at the faces of those people, which were even more ugly than those stars who did not win awards. What awaits them may not be the fire of squid, but it may be difficult to make any big development within the NEW wave.
Chen Guan's mouth moved, and he looked at Reporter He as if he wanted to say something.
Reporter He asked Reporter Lin to send the interview draft back to China, and another person drew up a new question in his office, which clearly knew Mr. Wang's reaction. It is normal for Chen Guan to want to say a few cruel words, but when the words come to his mouth, he can't spit them out no matter what.
How do you say that? Didn't the reporter tell him the reason for those problems? It's that he doesn't accept it.
Besides, he and Reporter He are in competition after all, and at present, Reporter He's position is lower than him, but as an employee who can go straight to Mr. Wang, it is not difficult to be promoted when to go. Promotions within private enterprises are not based on seniority, and it is normal for you to be below today and above tomorrow. Therefore, it is completely reasonable for Reporter He to do this.
Reporter He didn't pay attention to him, went into the office and printed out a copy of the problem that was later drawn up, and took a high-quality American-made tape recorder - this is also a bit interesting, in the past, in domestic companies, this kind of equipment was better than Japan, and occasionally Korean. But since he came to the United States, it seems that he has become a little uncomfortable using Japanese and South Korean electronic products, so Reporter He simply changed the American one at hand. Actually, speaking of which. Japan's Sony, Panasonic, South Korea's Samsung, LG and the like, in the field of consumer electronics products, are better than the United States, but a Chinese journalist working in Hollywood does not seem to use American products, and it is somewhat impossible to reflect the feeling of being superior to domestic counterparts.
Time ticked by, and Reporter He checked the power of the recorder three or five times.
Chen managed and several of his subordinates, hiding beside them like quails, without making a sound at all. My mind was spinning, how to explain to their company when I returned to China, this is not a big mistake, but the important thing is to leave a bad impression on the top management, in China, this is more serious than a real mistake.
When the time pointed to 11:15, the phone rang on time, two hours, not a minute.
This is in the United States. Especially in the entertainment industry, it is not a particularly common trait - the reason why Daniel's team is well-known in the circle is not simply because of Daniel's achievements.
"What a reporter? I'm Sally, Daniel's assistant. ”
"Hello, Ms. Sally. I'm Ho of NEW. ”
"Okay, can we start the interview now?"
"Of course."
The phone stumbled for a few seconds, and Daniel's clear voice, which was familiar to countless people, came from there.
"Hello Reporter He. Let's get straight to it. ”
"Okay," Reporter He took a deep breath, remembering to drown out his breath. "First question, you have won a lot of prestigious awards this year, including the Oscar, Golden Globe, Cannes, etc., combined with these results, how do you feel about this award?"
Reporter He originally added half a question, that is, to ask Daniel's opinion on acting, but considering that this topic may occupy a long time, he deleted it.
"It's true that over the last few years, some has been achieved, and I'm very grateful to all of you. As for this time, to be honest, it was quite a surprise, and I think you must be surprised too, because the competitors are very good. The Immortal Gardener has given me a new kind of performance experience, unlike all previous works, so I am of course very happy to have a new breakthrough to be recognized. ”
His ears were high, but his eyes were glued to the running tape recorder, and he was relieved to see that it had been recorded smoothly.
"Then the second question, what are your expectations for the next Oscars?"
"The recent anticipation, of course, is to be nominated, haha, the nomination is an affirmation. After all, the evaluation method and competition intensity of the Oscars are different from those of the Golden Globes, so let's go with the flow. ”
"You have communicated with several Chinese actors and directors before and after the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, do you know anything about Chinese films? Or do you have any communication with Chinese filmmakers? ”
"Director Ahn Lee is probably the best director in the world in terms of a certain type of subject matter and technique, and I look forward to working with him, and I am very happy for his success in 'Brokeback Mountain', the film is very good. Vivian. Zhang is also an excellent actress, Steven. I have watched some of Zhou's movies, such as "Journey to the West" and "Shaolin Football", etc., which are very talented. In addition, although I didn't have the opportunity to communicate with Mr. Cheng Kaige, I also watched his "Farewell My Concubine", a work of great artistic standard. Chinese films are getting better and better, and they are developing rapidly, and I believe that in the near future, you should be able to make more and better films. In addition, I may go to China later this year to deal with some work, and I hope to communicate with more Chinese filmmakers at that time. ”
Reporter He was stunned for a moment, his heart "thumped", and then beat rapidly.
"Are you saying you're going to China this year, in 2006?"
"Yes."
"Uh, can you elaborate on this plan, which doesn't seem to have been revealed yet?"
Reporter He realized that this was his own super moment, Daniel's call to China has lasted for a long time, "Gladiator" was mentioned, "The Lord of the Rings" began to be officially invited by people or units, and when it came to "Spy Shadow" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", it basically became a trend, these years, as his legendary story spread to China, there are countless institutions that want to arrange his visit to China, but unfortunately, none of them have succeeded, whether it is a huge endorsement contract from a business, or an invitation from an official organization, They were all rejected on the grounds that the itinerary could not be arranged.
Now, Daniel himself said that he was going to China, and it was definitely a super heavy depth charge.
"There will be cooperation from all sides, China is the hot spot of the world economy in the future, and I also have great respect for Chinese culture. You know, not long ago, the animation division of DD Pictures launched a plan to shoot a Chinese-style animated film, Kung Fu Panda. I may not be able to tell you the specific arrangements for this trip to China, but there are indeed a lot of things that need to be done. Moreover, I am very much looking forward to meeting Chinese movie fans, and I hope you can help me bring them a New Year's greeting. ”
Glancing at his watch, time was running out, and Reporter He forcibly suppressed his desire to get to the bottom of the matter, and ended the question with absolute "manners".
"Well, welcome to China. Finally, what would you like to say to Chinese fans? ”
"Oh, yes, thank you for their continued support and love, I hope to meet them with more new works, I wish them happiness."
Hanging up the phone and pressing the stop button of the tape recorder, Reporter He felt a little collapsed.
He glanced at the seven colleagues next to him, Lao Lin, Chen Management, etc., all of whom heard the interview just now, and they were all a little dumbfounded at this time.
Obviously, they also know perfectly well that Daniel. Sandler just revealed the plan of the China tour, how much impact will it have on the Golden Globe Award topic of NEW, not compared with the domestic entertainment industry, nor compared with other pages, at least in similar reports, it will definitely ride the dust, and drive several other major portals, even TV stations and print media, to the back.
Just thinking about it, Reporter He felt his blood boiling, this can be regarded as the biggest news he has received since he worked in the United States.
"Whew," he let out a sigh of relief, "Manager Chen, if this report is done well, I think Wang will always forget the unpleasantness just now, although the biggest news is followed by the names of me and Lao Lin, but just a few questions, you pick two to write a report, we don't involve it, how about it?" ”
What can Manager Chen say, unless he struggles at this time, he will definitely not be able to do anything inside the NEW wave.
Reporter He was worried that he would reveal the news to other media, so he did not hesitate to give him two questions. Seeing that he should come down, Reporter He gave Lao Lin a look, cut off the network, stayed by the phone, and he didn't go back to the office, moved the computer out, opened the document, knocked out a line of titles, and specially enlarged to No. 3 and bolded.
"Oscar-winning actor and Hollywood superstar Daniel. Sandler reveals that he will visit China within the year" (to be continued......
