Chapter 531: An Awkward Situation (4)
"The winner of the Best Screenplay Award at the 9th Shanghai Film Festival was ......"
Chu Qing opened the envelope, didn't sell it, and read it out directly: "Hugo Van Lail, "Love Has No Exclusive", congratulations!" ”
"Whoa!"
With bursts of applause, a Belgian buddy stood up and walked quickly onto the stage. Chu Qing handed him the trophy and certificate, and then stepped back by himself, waiting boredly for the end.
To be honest, this year's film festival is much stronger than the previous ones in terms of the organization of the competition, the quality of the works and the various communication activities interspersed. You can see the organizers' drive to reform, but they ignore one point: there is no real festival atmosphere.
The so-called atmosphere, one depends on the stars, the other depends on the audience, the stars are enough, but the audience does not buy it. For example, in the brochures distributed by the government, there is not even a screening schedule except for advertisements that are advertisements. Not to mention, that's enough of a $60 ticket price to make most people give up.
Maybe there are too many film festivals abroad, Chu Qing only feels rough and rigid, and inhumane.
After the screenwriter award, it was the actor and actress and the best director award, so the biggest embarrassment in the audience came: the new actor * Olivier, the actress Dortmans, and the director Fabiana were all absent.
can only put photos on the big screen, and a random representative of the film side comes to the stage, carrying the trophy like playing two or two soy sauces.
In the end, it was the German movie "Four Minutes" that won the Golden Goblet Award, and when the host was still in Balabala, Chu Qing had already greeted Feng Xiaogang and then sneaked away.
He quickly descended to the parking lot, waited about five or six minutes, and then got into a black Mercedes and went straight to one of the best hotels in the city.
He's going to be busy tonight, and very, very reluctant.
……
"Mr. Chu, please come here!"
The beautiful cheongsam lady pointed at her hand, the corners of her lips were slightly curled, and she had a little ambiguous feeling.
"Oh, okay."
He pretended not to see it. Go and push open the box door. There were four people sitting inside, two men and two women, and when they saw him come in, they immediately got up and greeted him.
"Big Shadow Emperor, come on, come on, please take a seat!"
A thin middle-aged man took the lead in laughing, and without saying anything, he pressed him to the main seat, and then introduced: "This is my friend, you can call him Lao Wang, and he recently started a film and television company." I want to see the world of the entertainment industry. ”
"Brother Chu, I have been looking up for a long time, I am really young and promising!"
The slightly fatter man came over, his whole body was full of the kindness of a businessman, and he took out a business card and said, "You are the leader in the industry, and I hope to give you more guidance in the future." ”
"Brother Wang, you are too polite, let's help each other."
Chu Qing took it and took a look, and it read: Oriental Piper Film and Television Co., Ltd. General Manager Wang Jun - a name that I have never heard of at all.
"This is a newly signed artist from our company, called Zhao Jiayi."
Wang Jun pulled the girl next to him and said with a smile: "This is your senior, don't hurry up and call someone!" ”
The girls are also well-behaved. immediately bowed and said, "Teacher Chu Qing, I like to watch your movies very much." I'm a graduate of the theater, and I just started in the industry and don't know anything. Please advise. ”
"Well said, progress together."
He gripped the shallot-like fingertips and let go with a slight touch. He sat down with a gentle face, but a feeling of discomfort welled up in his heart.
The man who spoke first was Feng Yong, the president of a chain of theaters, and the woman was an assistant. This cinema was only rolled out last year, but the background is quite good, it is said that the parent is engaged in finance, and plans to develop in the film and television industry in recent years.
Although it is a new ding, in a short period of time, it has become the largest cinema chain in East China. Therefore, Chu Qing's purpose is also very clear, that is, to make friends.
"Crazy Stone" has signed screening agreements with 26 theater chains, two-thirds of which Huayi helps, and one-third develops it by itself, and Feng Yong's relationship is exactly what the company wants to stabilize.
With his current coffee position, he personally came to run public relations and roadshows, which is indeed a bit cheap. But there is no way, the distribution channel is too weak, and the cast of the actors is too scummy.
If you don't have two people with you, just with that broken crew, no one will care if you run a roadshow. Of course, Xu Zheng's size is also a wrist, but he is too busy, running one or two trips, and there is no time to follow the whole process.
Therefore, from tomorrow until the stone goes offline, the company is divided into three ways: the boss himself, responsible for the capital and East China; The proprietress led Huang Bo and was in charge of the Central Plains; Ning Hao led Guo Tao, Wang Xun, Peng Bo and others to pack the West China region.
Especially in Beijing, Modu, Hangzhou, Chongqing, and Nanjing, which are important box office towns, they need to be taken care of more enthusiastically.
Today, Chu Qing originally made an appointment with Feng Yong, who would have thought that the goods would still be beaten with snakes and sticks, just like playing online games:
"Brother begs for a group! Sister, I'm blowing * flute level 10, oh, what! ”
Vomit!
Look at the one named Zhao Jiayi, about twenty-three years old, with long legs and a thin waist, and a pair of peach blossom eyes, occasionally glance here, it is even more charming than Fan Xiaoye.
“……”
Chu Qing was a little conscious, but not sure what they wanted to do.
At this time, the banquet had entered the social mode, nothing more than drinking and back and forth, Feng Yong asked: "Qingzi, you just came from the film festival, I heard that this year is doing well?" ”
"It's okay, it's pretty good in China, but the atmosphere is not enough." Chu Qing told the truth.
"You, a big man who often goes abroad, must have a high vision." Wang Jun said with a smile.
"Yo, Brother Wang, don't praise me, I'm not a big person."
"If you are modest, you say it smallly, it is called promoting cultural exchanges, and if you say it is big, it is called winning glory for the country! Brother admires you the most, come, toast you! ”
"Come on, add me one!" Feng Yong joined in the fun.
They drank liquor, although the degree was not high, and the cup was also burning. Chu Qing endured the gastrointestinal discomfort and hurriedly ate a mouthful of food to suppress it.
"Jiayi, pour wine for your teacher!" Wang Jun said again.
Zhao Jiayi got up with the wine bottle, didn't be coquettish, didn't make a gesture, but asked: "You drank too much just now, can I pour you less?" ”
"Half a cup, thank you." He didn't do it either.
"Haha, brother, you know the amount of alcohol in the circle, I should still tell a joke, when I saw it today, it really lives up to its name!" Wang Jun is really a scene person, never embarrassed.
"It hasn't risen for so many years, and I can't drink it by nature." He laughed.
"Hey, I said something ugly, drinking is a necessary means in this industry, you don't drink, you can still do this business, you are high-looking."
Wang Jun took a sip of himself, and then said: "Brother, it's not that I deliberately praised you, it's really rare to see someone like you." Just two months ago, I invited a Hong Kong celebrity to dinner, and XO alone dried three bottles, and that meal cost me 40,000 yuan. After eating, I didn't talk about anything, I went straight to the nightclub, and I stayed in it for two days, and I didn't stay in the hotel. Finally, when I looked at the bill, I really wanted to scold him for being a turtle grandson! ”
"And that's it, who is that person?" Feng Yongqi said.
"You all know that this person is famous for being a good prostitute, and he is ......"
"Brother Wang!"
Chu Qing hurriedly interrupted and persuaded: "If you hide this, we should not have heard it." ”
Wang Jun was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Haha, listen to you." Come on, let's do another one! ”
"Ahem...... Cough! ”
He had to drink it again, and then he started coughing, waving his hand, "I'm sorry, I'm a little choking." ”
"Teacher, here you go." Zhao Jiayi sent tissues in time.
"Thank you."
In fact, for Wang Jun's words, he chose to half-listen and half-believe, and he saw that the other party was very real and sincere, but how many people who went to this kind of bureau were pure, good, and beautiful?
Including yourself, aren't you also here for the sake of the company's business?
However, the other party is a smart person, and he has been idle for a long time without asking questions, so he has avoided a lot of embarrassment. What is more surprising is Zhao Jiayi, this girl looks demonic, but her demeanor is good, she never talks much, and she can catch the conversation properly, which makes people feel better.
They ate a meal for more than two hours, and drank two bottles of white wine alone, no matter how strong Chu Qing's control was, it was inevitably a little excessive. My head became more and more dizzy, and I talked less and less.
Seeing this, Feng Yong smiled and said, "It seems that Qingzi is going to fail, let's not make it difficult for others, let's stop here today." ”
"Okay, it's going to be a long time coming! I booked a room upstairs, man, and you'll stay here for the night. ”
Wang Jun answered, turned his head to look at Zhao Jiayi, and said, "Jiayi, help your teacher up." ”
"Uh...... Don't bother, I'm fine. ”
Chu Qing's consciousness was slightly confused, and he could only receive the general information of the other party, and only after a pause did he refuse.
“……”
Feng Yong and Wang Jun glanced at each other, and said with a smile: "Qingzi, I don't think you can do this, there is a tea room on the third floor, where can we have a cup of tea, and by the way, we can also sober up." ”
"Okay, okay."
Chu Qing was inconvenient to refuse, so he responded casually.
"That's it, eat happily today, talk more happily, let's get together later!"
Wang Jun stood up, put on his coat, and took Zhao Jiayi to say goodbye.
Feng Yong sent his assistant to go first, and then ran with him to the third floor, and sat in the hall without asking for a private room. After a pot of strong tea, not only did he not sober up, but his dizziness was also a little worse.
However, the other party talked to him about serious things, saying that the company needs to develop a cinema line, and our theater line is still young, and we also need a powerful partner. Since we want to maintain the relationship for a long time, we will also make a commitment to ensure that the first three days are scheduled.
Chu Qing tried his best to mobilize his mind and think, and his response was not confused. The two sat for half an hour, Feng Yong said that he still had important matters, handed him a room card, and then left.
He glanced at it, 1107, a luxury suite, and didn't think much about it, so he took the elevator upstairs.
"Alas, half a life is in it!"
The lights were dim, reflecting the golden walls and crimson carpet, and he staggered down the aisle, laughing at himself, and struggled to find the door number, and swiped his card:
"Drop!"
Red light.
"Hmm......"
He stood for a while holding the door, and then brushed it again:
"Drop!"
The green light turned on. (To be continued......)
