"Hello, Director Rosenberg."

"Hello, Mr. Han."

As soon as he passed the red carpet and walked into the VIP waiting area, he was greeted by a person, the two had already had a formal meeting yesterday, Duke shook the hand stretched out by the mountain carving, he was a person who paid attention to etiquette, neither rudeness nor overzealousness.

The two shook hands, and the mountain carving took the initiative to introduce the guests here to Duke, who were basically the characters he once needed to look up to, and now seeing them politely shaking hands with him, Duke also had a special feeling.

But once after all, it was very far away, and a person of Duke's personality could not have any other expression, just like attending Hollywood premieres and red carpets, he just faced these people with a consistent attitude.

Compared with these directors and producers, the stars who came behind were much more enthusiastic.

In fact, the actors here are not stupid at all, they know that they can't really break into Hollywood, such as that Miss Zhang, the reason why they sharpen their heads and drill into Hollywood is nothing more than if they can get opportunities in Hollywood, and after returning to China, their value and coffee position will rise sharply.

It's a pity that before the theater chain here really develops, Duke has no plans to use Asian actors to play important roles, and some villain roles are not suitable for people here, otherwise he will be like the former Dark Knight, and he will likely fall to the point where he cannot pass the trial.

As for rushing to Hollywood and the world with the actors and the film industry here, Duke is not stupid and has not forgotten his current identity.

And if a country's film wants to run rampant all over the world, it has never been a matter that the movie itself can decide.

In just twenty minutes, Duke lost count of how many people he greeted, unlike just greeting ordinary fans in Chinese on the red carpet. In this kind of formal setting, which is close to official, he speaks entirely in English, and is very polite and polite, while maintaining the necessary distance.

Showing Chinese is to be divided into occasions, and there is no point in showing Chinese with these people who are almost all mixed up. They will never feel as close to Duke as ordinary viewers, even if he speaks Chinese as fluently as the mountain, and will always be an outsider in front of people like the mountain carving.

What kind of identity and stance often determines what kind of occasion a person is on, what kind of attitude he must have, and what kind of words he must say.

If Shan Diao can increase his movie box office share by 50 percent, Duke will have no problem speaking Chinese for the next few days. But this is absolutely impossible, firstly, Duke would not be mentally retarded enough to think that a mountain eagle would do this, and secondly, a mountain eagle would not have such power at all.

Hollywood films' share of the account here is part of the WTO agreement signed between China and the United States, and the ten mountain carvings together have no power to amend.

thinks that the mountain carving or China Film Group can determine the proportion of the movie's account, how naïve and stupid is Duke?

After greeting the jury of this year's film festival, Duke walked into the interview area as agreed. Interviewed by the festival's partner media.

"Rosenberg Director ......"

The female reporter on the other side obviously didn't look like she was pretending to be able to interview Duke. It looked really exciting, "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”

Like everyone in the industry, Duke was of course a different picture in front of the media, smiling and saying, "It's nice to see you." ”

The female reporter immediately showed a look of surprise, "You...... You understand Chinese. ”

"There is no problem listening to and speaking Mandarin."

Out of the corner of his eye, the afterglow swept over the faces of the reporters around him. These people were a little surprised, but Duke didn't care at all, there were too many language geniuses in this world, and there were countless ghosts who could speak this side fluently, the little surprise on the faces of these people. It is nothing more than because of his fame and status.

Just like a mountain carving, those who can enter the interview area of the film festival are not the kind of people with shallow experience, and their surprise only lasted for a few seconds, and they quickly returned to normal.

Still, the female reporter asked, "When did you learn Chinese?" ”

"A long time ago, there have been more than ten years, I took Chinese when I was studying, and I am quite talented in this area."

In the face of these media reporters, Duke knew very well what to say in his best interest, "I like the culture and history of the East very much, I have studied and read some famous books. ”

"Can you see what you've seen?" The female reporter immediately asked.

Duke still kept smiling, "For example, "For example, "The Art of War, have you watched "Brave Island"? ”

"I've seen every single one of your films." The female reporter smiled embarrassedly, some of Duke's films were not introduced, and what she saw was piracy.

"Do you remember? When Agent Mason walks out of the prison in the film, he has an English version of "The Art of War" in his cell. Duke knew the situation here and didn't mind at all, "It was a book I liked very much, so I added it to the film." ”

"So you're a lover of Chinese culture?"

Hearing the female reporter's words, Duke nodded slightly, "I like the culture of this country very much. ”

"Is it possible for you to make a film about China in the future?" Another reporter asked.

"Possibly." Duke turned to look at him and said, "But my plans for the last few years are full, and I may not have time in the short term, and I also need the right subject matter and script." ”

The reporter abruptly shifted the question away from the film, "Mr. Rosenberg, it is said that there is ...... in the United States"

"I'm sorry......" Duke didn't give the other party a chance to finish asking, and after interrupting him, he pointed in the direction of the entrance of the studio, "Mr. Han is waving to me." ”

After speaking, he didn't give these people any chance to ask sensitive questions, and walked directly to the entrance of the cinema where the opening ceremony was held.

There is no suitable answer to some questions, and the best way is not to listen and not answer, otherwise the other party will ask the question, even if it is not answered, it will cause some trouble.

"What do they want to ask?"

When you walk into the interview area, Tina? Faye followed behind Duke, who whispered as he walked, "About politics." ”

Tina? Fei nodded knowingly.

In fact, she also knows very well that movies are entertainment products, but movies have never been separated from the influence of politics, and it is impossible to be free from the influence of politics.

This is the opening ceremony of the film festival, although he has the halo of the Oscar for Best Director, but Duke is not the protagonist, as the protagonist of the jury and the opening film, it is also where the media and fans are attracted, and he is very conscious, neither wants nor needs to steal the limelight of this occasion.

With his current status and position in the film industry around the world, there is no such need.

Subsequently, Duke followed the entourage specially sent by China Film and walked into the big theater of Shanghai Cinema, ready to watch the opening movie.

As for the opening film, it is a relatively unfamiliar film, starring Zun Long, who has won the Off-Broadway Obi Award, and Taiwan's female singer Coco Lee, the movie is called "Self-Entertainment", for Chinese films that have just transformed into commercial films, such a level of film, not to mention Duke, is that most of the audience present are actually very dissatisfied.

To put it bluntly, the name of this movie is very good, and it is indeed the self-entertainment of this crew.

This opening film can only be said to be very ordinary.

Of course, for a country where the film industry has just been marketed, everything is not easy.

Anyone who knows a little about the film industry knows that the film industry does not need to have excellent scripts, directors and even crews to develop rapidly.

It is simply impossible not to develop the entire interlocking industrial chain, just counting on a few films or a few directors to lead a country's film industry to seize the world market.

Although the road is difficult, many people here see the potential and future of the market, and the whole industry is developing in a good direction.

Just like Hollywood, if the film industry wants to develop, it is by no means possible in a short period of time, how many years did it take Hollywood to completely overtake European films and become the world's film factory?

If the film industry wants to develop, the cinema chain can be said to be one of the most basic facilities, and after Duke returned to the hotel after attending the opening ceremony of the film festival, he met Phil, the head of Warner Bros. Greater China, who seemed to have come to wait for him.

"That's right, Duke."

Coming to the reception room of the suite, Phil said as concisely and directly as possible, "The Chinese side asked me if it was possible for one of your films to be filmed in China in recent years. ”

"Filming in China?" Duke frowned.

Batman mainly takes place in the fictional Gotham City, and the plots related to the outside are basically about the villain, which is not suitable for filming here, otherwise it will definitely not be able to pass the trial.

Duke thought for a moment and said, "Let's find the right opportunity in the future." ”

Looking at Phil, Duke asked curiously, "Did something happen?" ”

"China Film Group wants to cooperate with us in more depth."

Phil is well aware of Duke's position in Warner Bros., and he does not hide it, "They want to jointly invest in the construction of the cinema market with Warner, and they also want to win our support in terms of film resources." ”

The so-called support in terms of film resources certainly does not refer to the finished film, but to all the elements of making a film.

"What does the company think?" Duke asked.

"The group is very optimistic about the future prospects here." Phil replied, "I want to work more closely with them." ”

He smiled at Duke, "Especially you, Duke. Your work has an unparalleled influence here, and it is the trump card of Warner's promotion. ”

Duke shrugged his shoulders and said nothing more.

The market here has just started and has not yet entered the stage of rapid development, and Duke is very clear that the films brought this time will not actually bring back much actual benefits, this is just an investment in the future. (To be continued......)
