With the arrival of Grinton, the two-time Oscar winner for Best Editing, and the mythical Sun Ziming, the post-production department of the light and shadow company, began to become crowded, and Hong Kong's famous and unknown editors and directors who can talk to Sun Ziming have all come to watch and learn.

Director Sun Da has always been good-tempered, knowing everything and saying everything, and treats the post-production department as a classroom, not only teaching a group of Korean directors, but also teaching local directors and editors. There were some questions that he couldn't answer, so he asked Douglas to write them down and wait for Greenton to finish answering.

Finally, another day passed, everyone who came to study and observe said goodbye, and the Korean director also went to dinner, and Greenton, who was not addicted to work, was dissatisfied: "Ming, I know you are nervous about this movie, but this is not my work rhythm!" ”

Sun Ziming, who was sitting on the sofa and smoking, threw a cigarette to the old man, helped him light the fire, and sighed: "My friend, I am also embarrassed." My partner is in the middle of a very important business negotiation and there is a group of people waiting to see me look at me. I have to focus half on the movie and half on the chores.

You should play with me for a while, you're pretty idle in the U.S. anyway. ”

Glynton has gained fame and fortune in recent years, and he is no longer the editor who won the nomination but did not win the award, and he has begun to pay attention to the quality of his works.

"Cut, I have two little golden figures and three golden balls! There are a lot of people who ask me, but I don't want to cut bad films. Ok, it's okay to play with you, when your company goes public, you have to sell the stock to me. ”

"There is no problem, your interests have been taken into account in the plan. Although you are not employees of the company, you have also contributed to the company. ”

Grimton, who was sweaty, was happy, and his big hairy hands hugged his grandson Ming and laughed: "Ming, you are such a good person!" ”

"We're friends!"

Sun Ziming really regards this white man as a friend, although this bastard is a little suspected of racism, but after nearly ten years of cooperation, he has a tacit understanding that he doesn't need to explain, he knows what effect he wants.

After the music, Greenton immediately asked about the foreign appearance, which can make the famous China clear foreign appearance, which is good gossip news.

'Hey', Sun Ziming sighed before talking about his troubles.

With the opening of the mainland to Hong Kong, a large number of Hong Kong filmmakers went north, and after several years of exploration, they finally made co-production films that mainland audiences liked. Under the virtuous circle, the production of Hong Kong films has become more and more high, and the relatively cheap computer special effects provided by light and shadow have made films from other countries useless, and Hong Kong has become an entertainment center in Asia, attracting Asian stars to come to pan for gold.

Moreover, the Hong Kong Film Awards has gradually become the most authoritative award for Chinese films because of its fair, just and open selection rules, and at the same time pays attention to art and box office, and even many popular Japanese stars are proud to attend the Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony.

These are all good things, but with the glory of Hong Kong films, it is accompanied by the decline of films from various countries. People are not stupid, since they can't compete head-on, they invariably sacrifice the killer feature of the quota system, restricting Hong Kong films from entering the domestic market in order to protect local films.

"Hahaha", Greenton didn't care about business negotiations, but when he heard that Sun Ziming was worried about it, he couldn't help laughing.

"Ming, what's this called? Retribution! You Greater China rejected Hollywood films, and now they are starting to reject Hong Kong movies as well! ”

"! When did we reject Hollywood movies? "Shawshank", "Saving Private Ryan", "Titanic", "Braveheart" ...... Didn't they all enter our market? Ten movies a year, this is already the maximum limit of the quota system! ”

Glinton is even happier, these movies are all produced by light and shadow companies, or co-produced by light and shadow, which is typical discrimination against other film companies!

"Che, can we be blamed for this? Who let other companies make bad movies, the top three at the box office every year are ours, if you don't introduce our films, will you still introduce those bad movies? ”

The laughter stopped abruptly, and Glynton remembered that three of the top ten at the box office last year were Light and Shadow, two were Universal, and one was Paramount. Greenton stopped laughing, Sun Ziming laughed triumphantly, he didn't make films for two years, and he still beat other film companies all over the place to find teeth, this is the real ability!

As soon as Wei Qiang's "The Matrix" is released, there will be three A-level Chinese directors in Hollywood, so it can be said that our Chinese directors have a firm foothold in Hollywood!

However, not long after Sun Ziming's pride, Greenton suddenly came out, "Ming, do you want to be God?" ”

Sun Ziming was stunned, Yang Guozhong, who had just finished a day's negotiations, came, "Let's go, let's eat!" ”

Greenton called out to his assistant who was packing his things, and the four of them closed the door and left.

After returning home for dinner, Lu Huiguang took Grinton and the others to have fun, Yang Guozhong talked about today's negotiations, and said uncertainly: "Ziming, maybe Helen got some information about Aceh in BP, and their attitude towards negotiations is getting tougher and tougher." ”

"Geological data?"

Yang Guozhong lowered his voice, "Well, it's very likely. For so many years, Aceh has been holding back, and foreign companies are afraid to go in to explore. I asked Ah Lei to send someone to see Tauer? Mattan? Ruak, he said, had previously been funded by foreigners on the condition that they be allowed to enter the Aceh region for clandestine exploration. I suspect that the person who provided the funding was either BP or SheII. ”

"Well, there is this possibility, the price of oil has only risen in the past ten years, and in the past, American companies only focused on the Middle East and their homeland, and only influential companies in Southeast Asia like BP and SheII would have such a long-term plan. Compared to SheII, BP has an advantage, after all, the British have not colonized Indonesia and have not fought with them.

Besides, no one wants to see Indonesia become stronger, otherwise Hassan? It is impossible for Dilo (the leader of the Free Aceh Movement) to have a good business relationship with the United States, Europe, so many big companies, and perhaps BP has also provided financial support behind it. ”

After Sun Ziming finished speaking, he picked up the phone next to him and asked Li Erwen to talk to Helen, exploration also costs money. As long as she does have chips in her hands, she can manipulate the bidding and grab the resources, and let the competitors do the work that only has risks and no benefits. If you can let your competitors lose their money, it will be of great benefit to future competition.

An hour later, Ewen Lee came and confirmed that Helen did have information that BP had conducted secret explorations in the Aceh region in the 80s and had mastered the general geographical structure of the Aceh region.

"That's good, speed up the negotiations. The negotiations between Aceh and Indonesia are almost over, and there will definitely be a tender at that time, and we have to reach a cooperation agreement before the public bidding! ”

……

Sun Ziming their ideas, Helen and they also have the same consensus, and after several rounds of negotiations for BP and WP shareholders to see, the two sides finally reached a cooperation agreement. The three parties jointly invested one billion dollars to participate in the oil and gas development in Aceh, with shareholders of BP and WP in the Helen camp holding 51% of the shares, and Far Eastern Group holding 49% of the shares. Of course, after signing the agreement, Helen immediately bought 12% of the shares from the Far Eastern Group at the original price through the Guò offshore company, becoming one of the shareholders hidden behind the scenes. The two sides, not to say that they are multi-sided, are waiting for the results of the negotiations between Indonesia and the Aceh region. As soon as the two parties reach an agreement, GCA Energy and the BP and WP shareholders will immediately set up a new company, with Ms. Helen Abraham as the chairman, to lead the new company into oil and gas development in the Aceh region.

This matter is over, and Sun Ziming will also shift the energy involved in the negotiation to the system of "The Last Samurai", as for the annoying quota system, let others worry about it. Glynton is right, he doesn't want to be God, why should he carry all the responsibility on his shoulders? Everyone's business, then let Uncle Zeng take the lead, and everyone will find a way to solve it.

Of course, under the common interest, Helen began to try to repair the friendship between the two, kindly reminding Sun Ziming that he must reassure Indonesians and Americans, otherwise Freemasonry will be suppressed sooner or later.
