Chapter 201: Digging the Ancestral Grave (1)
Cheng Long's words startled Sun Ziming, and he stretched out his hand to touch his head to see if he had a high fever. Cheng Long opened Sun Ziming's hand and said in a low voice: "I didn't lie to you, do I dare to joke about this?" ”
Sun Ziming took a sip of hot tea and said in a deep voice: "Let's hear it." ”
It's really interesting, the Academy Awards are still a tool used by Cinema Fortnight to make money, and they are their main source of income. Zou Wenhuai means that let Sun Ziming promote the reform of the Academy Awards, snatch the dominance from the hands of "Film Fortnightly", and turn it into an internal matter in the film circle.
Cheng Long said as he observed Sun Ziming's expression. In He Guanchang's old immortal words, Sun Ziming is the most likely to take the lead in this kind of thing, and he is also the most suitable candidate.
Sun Ziming is a little moved, which is also the development trend of the Academy Awards. Even if you don't take the lead, in a few years, the filmmakers will steal the lead and make "Film Fortnightly" a viewer. However, Sun Ziming's eyes may not be as good as an old fox like Zou Wenhuai, but compared with Cheng Long, he can be regarded as an old treacherous and slippery.
"Brother Long, talk about the things in the back. Play with your heart, you're not my opponent. ”
Cheng Long is not angry at this, and he can't do Ziming when it comes to fighting openly and secretly. Otherwise, how can someone be the boss and a star himself?
"We also want to enter the mainland market, Uncle Zou said that after the reform of the Academy Awards, all Chinese films from the mainland, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia will be included in the scope of review."
When Sun Ziming heard this, he felt a little sad and angry, this is a fucking conspiracy! Out of public and private thoughts, he promoted mainland film workers to come to the company for exchanges, and inadvertently became the intersection of the film industries of the two places.
It's done, Jiahe sits back and enjoys it, and lets himself offend a lot of people. didn't succeed, just let himself have further trouble with the jury, and he continued to be unable to win the heavyweight awards. Moreover, if you can't stop doing it, the mainland will definitely force yourself to do it, what a good political achievement project!
Cheng Long saw that Sun Ziming's face was cloudy, as comfortable as drinking ice water on a hot day, this demon would also be deflated! Lao Tzu still thinks that your god blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and destroys Buddha. Cheng Long saw Sun Ziming staring at him, shook his head comfortably and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know what to do!" You also know that I am a small shareholder, and they are in charge of these things. ”
Sun Ziming believed that Cheng Long didn't know what to do, and he knew what the two old foxes wanted to do. It is nothing more than learning from oneself, opening a branch in the mainland, taking cooperative shooting, and entering the mainland. It is estimated that Zou Wenhuai, the old fox, is still thinking about making Hong Kong the center of Chinese films and making the Academy Awards the most authoritative award for Chinese films.
Don't doubt the old guy's ambition, even if in another twenty years, Hong Kong films have declined, and the Academy Awards are still the highest award for Chinese films, just because it is a Chinese film award that is not controlled by the government! Not to mention the Academy Awards, even the gold content of the Golden Horse Awards is higher than that of the Golden Rooster.
After knocking on the coffee table with his fingers, Sun Ziming suddenly said, "You two get out of the way, Guangzai, call Gao Ying up." ”
After a while, Gao Ying entered the study, and Sun Ziming was still knocking on the coffee table, this operation was done, but it was a great thing to leave a name in history!
"Ah Ying, tell me about the social connections of those judges and their influence in the circle."
"Hey."
Gao Ying is worthy of being a former gold medal reporter, took out a notebook from Chanel's bag, and listed hundreds of judges one by one on the small blackboard in the study. When Sun Ziming heard half of it, he couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: ", what a thunder Zou Wenhuai buried for Lao Tzu!" ”
Gao Ying doesn't see it that way, the times are different now, and it is no longer the era when the master takes the apprentice.
"Brother Ming, I think you and Zou Wenhuai seem to have entered a misunderstanding."
Sun Ziming perked up and said in a low voice: "Tell me, I'm not familiar with Hong Kong. ”
Gao Ying sorted out her thoughts and said slowly: "Brother Ming, it is no longer the time when the Shaw Brothers are dominant, nor is it the era when Golden Harvest and the Shaw Brothers compete for hegemony. Liu Weiqiang is righteous enough, Ao Zhijun (Master Liu Weiqiang) wants to play a supporting role in "Home Alone 2", hasn't he even given the position of photographer? This circle is no longer an era when masters can decide the future of apprentices, and when there is a conflict of interest, everyone instinctively puts their own interests first. ”
Sun Ziming was silent for a long time, motioned for Gao Ying to continue, and ordered another 'Great China'.
"'A teacher for a day, a teacher for life' is our traditional concept, aside from those morals and ethics, is it not a combination of interests? Brother Ming, those old guys may still have a little influence, but that is only on the basis of not harming the interests of others. Besides, not all master-apprentice relationships are respectable. In the past, apprentices in Hong Kong were paid 1/2 of their salary within three years, but they were given to their masters. ”
Sun Ziming then remembered that when Liu Weiqiang was the cast and crew, Chen Jiashang asked why he didn't want Ao Zhijun, which made Wang Jing's fat man glare at him fiercely, it turned out that the problem was here! Not all teachers will be respected by their students. After graduating, the vast majority of students do not visit all their teachers at all, because they feel that some teachers are not worthy of their respect.
looked at his watch, it was already more than eleven o'clock, it was estimated that Wang Fatzi was carnivaling, and Sun Ziming said: "Remember to remind me tomorrow, call to Taiwan at twelve o'clock." ”
"Yes."
……
'Absurdity under procedural fairness' – the oddity of the Academy Awards to the Golden Horse Awards
'Are the Academy Awards fair?' ’
The next day, as soon as Sun Ziming arrived at the office, he looked at the newspaper on the table, and wanted to kiss the editor-in-chief of "Wen Wei Po" and "Ta Kung Pao". Lao Tzu just wanted to find someone to trouble, so you helped Lao Tzu set a target, as if we didn't advertise in your newspaper, right?
Take a look at "Oriental Daily" and "Ming Pao", compare the viewing tastes of audiences in the two places, and then explain the difference between the Academy Awards and the Golden Horse Awards, how boring it is. Hello, hello, everyone, how lonely is that? In this way, he claims to be 'the injustice of the world', regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, this moral supreme point alone is firmly occupied, and it is worthy of being the elite who has struggled out of the mainland!
'Knock knock' Gao Ying came in with the folder, followed by Uncle Zeng, looking at his happy appearance, it is estimated that the negotiation has progressed. Uncle Zeng looked at the leftist newspaper on the table and quipped: "You have a saying in the mainland, how do you say it?" ”
"Pick up a pen to make knives and guns, and concentrate your firepower to fight the gangs?"
Uncle Zeng shook his head, thought for a while, and asked with a smile: "Fighting with people, how much fun is it?" ”
Sun Ziming also laughed and said: "Fighting with the sky is endless; Fighting with the ground, the fun is endless; Fighting with others is even more fun; From Chairman Mao's "Struggle and Self-Encouragement"
Gao Ying covered her mouth and smiled while helping Uncle Zeng make tea, and Uncle Zeng himself smiled: "Chairman Mao's old man's words are still quite reasonable, Dongbao has become a paper tiger now!" ”
Sun Ziming's heart perked, this is good news, the Japanese can't stand it, now it's up to who can hold on to the bottom!
"Ziming, the bottom line is still at 15%?"
Sun Ziming thought for a while and said resolutely: "It's just 15%, and the box office is 8% more, which is already 23%." If they don't want to, they open a branch office in Japan and hire all Japanese employees. ”
Uncle Zeng nodded, pointed to the newspaper on the table, and asked in a low voice: "When "God of Gamblers" is released, do you want to go to them to advertise it?" People have also helped us to sound grievances, and etiquette is always required. ”
Sun Ziming thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Don't yet, this time, it is estimated that the big guy above said hello." After a while, I will go to their newspaper and place some ads. Yesterday, after you left, Cheng Long came to me and said......"
Uncle Zeng pondered for a long time, blew on the hot tea, and asked, "Well, there is something wrong with this, Uncle Zou and they are outdated." ”
Seeing that Uncle Zeng agreed to do it, Sun Tzu felt more confident in his heart, this is a good opportunity! As long as all Chinese-language films are included in the scope of review, they will be recognized by both sides of the strait in the future by virtue of their natural political advantages. Establishing the authority of the Academy Awards is of great benefit to both his company and Chinese films. Film awards in Taiwan and the mainland are too restricted by political factors and are not suitable for fair competition among films.
Uncle Zeng also felt that this was a good opportunity, although the company hit records at the box office one after another, its reputation was still not as good as that of Golden Harvest. As long as this success is achieved, the company's prestige can be greatly improved. Thinking of this, Uncle Zeng said in a deep voice: "Ziming, if you want to do it, you have to make it bigger, and you want to make everyone know that this reform is promoted by our light and shadow company." ”
"Well, that's what I thought too. Gao Ying, you are familiar with the media, let them stir up the hype first. We must first discredit us and give the public the impression that we were forced to put the pot on the heads of "Film Double Magazine" and Debao. ”
Yes? Although Gao Ying is familiar with office politics, this kind of framing is the first time to do it.
"Uncle Zeng, take 1 million cash to David, buy hundreds of gifts from his 'Bai Liren' branch in Taipei, and give them to reporters and VIPs in Taiwan. Jiang Peng was informed to let Taiwan's media falsely report 7 million, giving the Hong Kong media a pretext. ”
"Okay, I'll arrange someone to do it later."
Sun Ziming's questions and answers made Gao Ying feel a little chill in her heart, as soon as the Hong Kong media speculated on this matter, the company's seven trophies were suspected of bribery. What is the virtue of the media? The world is peaceful, and you have to think that there is no wind and no waves, let alone such a handle? When everyone is hype, as soon as the company finds witnesses to clarify, the media has to find a substitute for the dead ghost and a punching bag.
Who is the best fit? Debao is the best Kaizi, and "Film Fortnightly" has become the second victim.
When Gao Ying was thinking about it, the phone on the table rang, it was Wang Jing calling, and the spring breeze could be heard proudly from the phone.
"Okay, such a big happy event, you should have a few days in Taiwan."
Sun Ziming snorted a few times, raised his voice and said: "Don't mess around, you can't send a 'Dior' bag!" I know they're going to give you a discount, but that's not going to work, that's too eye-catching. In this way, I asked David to immediately make a batch of gift boxes, according to the specifications of 3,000 Hong Kong dollars, and put some of the same gift boxes in their store, which is both decent and low-key. People sponsor us so much, and if we have a business, we have to take care of them, right? ”
3,000 Hong Kong dollars a box of chocolates, Gao Ying has only heard of it and never seen it, Sun Ziming's phone called, and David was still complaining over there.
"Ming, it's too much, you think it's Dove? Shit, do you know what luxury is? ”
Sun Tzu Ming doesn't care about this, anyway, the store is opened by you, and Lao Tzu spends money to be your God. David made a call on the phone, and finally agreed to transfer goods from Hong Kong and Singapore.
"Okay, Ah Ying, you go and give a briefing to the media, and you have to be reliable and trustworthy to spend it from my funds."
"Yes."
