Chapter 488: Give You a Model as a Gift
Karen Mutter, Victoria's Secret exclusive model and actress, was born on April 11, 1971 in Vlaardingen, the Netherlands. She began her modeling training in Paris at an early age and began her modeling career at the age of 14 when she was signed by Victoria's Secret.
Sun Ziming took the introduction and watched it for a long time, but he didn't think that it had anything to do with him, and it was impossible for him to make a movie specifically for such a model? Getting a model who can only twist her ass and walk a catwalk to make a movie? No kidding, it's not funny at all.
"Ming, do you know Victoria's Secret?"
What the? Women's lingerie brands? Sun Tzu was silent, waiting for Tino to uncover the mystery for him.
"I am the majority shareholder of Victoria's Secret, Miss Karen Mutter, and I am our exclusive model. Karen Mutter's chance encounter with you in Paris was arranged by me, and in fact I followed you as soon as you left your home in Beverly Hills. ”
Sun Ziming was a little unhappy in his heart, this is not a good thing to be polite. Seeing that Sun Ziming's face did not change, Tino continued: "I've been following you, starting with AloneHome1 and becoming an idol for teenagers across the United States overnight. I used to want to visit you, but you kept making a movie and didn't bother you, but I didn't expect you to leave Los Angeles as soon as you finished filming. ”
Sun Ziming didn't know what he was trying to say? Tino is a big guy, and his connections and mobility must be terrifying, so what do he or they need help with? Karen Mutter should be a well-known model, otherwise Joakin, a Frenchman, would not have known a Dutch model in Paris. Could it be that he wants that girl to play a role in the movie?
"Ming, you misunderstood me, is Miss Karen Mutter pretty? She is a gift from me to you, which is why I gave you her information. I know your traditional Chinese culture, she is still a virgin. ”
'Ahem, cough, cough' Sun Ziming choked on his cigar and coughed all over his face, this Tino really fucking speaks. Even if a Dutch girl is their exclusive model, she can't treat someone as a gift, right?
Sun Ziming suddenly didn't want to go around in circles, this Italian was better than Huo Ye and them, and he didn't look like a white man at all.
"Tino, what do you want? I'm just the owner of a film company, and that bit of wealth is certainly not a lot of money in your eyes. Making movies will never make a lot of money, and no one can predict whether the movies made will make money. ”
Tino shook his head, green light appeared in his blue eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Ming, you are not honest enough with your friends, MG Company is yours, right?" We want to cooperate with you, we have the funds, channels, contacts, you have the technology, we will monopolize the whole world of personal audio-visual products market! ”
Sun Ziming was shocked and relaxed, after the VCD patent was registered, anyone could find it from the patent office.
Tino took a puff on his cigar and played with the taste: "Do you know who your classmate Qiang Cao is, his girlfriend Casey?" ”
"Who?"
Tino laughed and said, "The daughter of one of our shareholders, he learned about this technology from her daughter, but did not find any prospects for its use, and it was her daughter who persuaded him. It's a great product, and it can be extended to other aspects of life, but if you want it to dominate the market, you need the major film companies and TV stations to adopt your standards, which is not something you can do, right? ”
Sun Ziming admitted that he could not do it, and Tino leaned into his ear and whispered, "We can do it, have you heard of Freemasonry?" My father is a Masonic Thirty-Second Elder, and my friends are Freemasons, and with our help, VCDs will become the American standard, the world's standard. ”
Freemasonry? Sun Tzu knew what kind of organization it was, it was a secret organization that included a considerable number of American elites, it was an organization that printed its logo on the dollar, and it was also an organization that was stored in legends, but he didn't expect to meet the senior members of it today.
In fact, when Tino said these three words, Sun Tzu knew that he could not refuse, unless he imagined Kennedy dying at gunfire or leaving the United States. Moving his Adam's apple with difficulty, Sun Ziming said in a deep voice: "Tino, business transactions should be equal, what do you want to get?" ”
Tino hurriedly shook his head and explained: "Ming, you misunderstood what I meant, I definitely didn't threaten you with Freemasonry, that betrayed our purpose and beliefs, I was just stating to you, a fact that is about to happen." If we cooperate, we will monopolize this market and not give our competitors any chance to take advantage of it. Rest assured, the company is still yours, we have no intention of snatching, just hoping to get a reasonable profit. ”
Sun Tzu looked at Tino suspiciously for a long time, and the Italian-American gentleman had no choice but to explain: "Ming, business transactions should follow commercial principles. If we forcibly buy your company, will anyone still work with us in the future? There are rules in this world, and no matter how strong or weak, we must abide by this rule, so that everyone's interests will be maximized. ”
"OK, Tino, I promise to cooperate with you, you can send someone to negotiate with my men. However, I would like to state that it is within your sphere of influence that we have a basis for cooperation. Do you understand me when I say that? ”
Tino laughed and said, "That's how it should be, for example, in Asia, we can't do anything." ”
The two shook hands, and Tino said goodbye: "Ming, I will send someone over in the afternoon to discuss with you about the reporter's interview and public relations." How to impress the judges, we are better at these things, OK? ”
“OK”
After sending Tino away, Fa Ge and the others came in from the next room, and everyone looked at Sun Ziming, wanting him to reveal something.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Fa Ge, get ready, someone will come over to guide us in the afternoon. Okay, don't ask about some things, just know that the situation is good. ”
A few traces of excitement flashed in Fa Ge's eyes, and Sun Zi Ming joked: "Fa Ge, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." ”
"Hehe, nomination depends on strength, and winning awards depends on luck!"
That being said, which of the people rolling in Vanity Fair can really see it? In the afternoon, Tino sent someone to guide, Fa Ge is the most serious, and the heroine Liu Jialing is the most relaxed, anyway, she is ready to play soy sauce and rub the red carpet.
The man sent by Tino was indeed well aware of the tastes of the seven judges, and could also find their details, hobbies, thoughts and remarks. After more than two hours of discussion, Sun Ziming and the others reversed most of the carefully prepared statements and redesigned the answers to the reporters.
As soon as he saw off the guests, Joaquin ran over from the staircase and said embarrassedly, "Ming, can you do me a favor?" ”
"Say"
"My sister is going to come over to play, she can't find a place to stay, can I sleep in your living room?"
Someone who can understand English, amused this guy. Sun Ziming is their leader, and he may receive guests at any time, how can he let an outsider sleep in the living room? Sun Ziming explained, and everyone knew that this kid's sister had helped him, Liu Weiqiang hurriedly said: "Qiao Jin, if you don't mind, you can sleep in my living room." Ming is our director, and there are many guests. ”
"Thank you, you guys are such nice people!"
After speaking, Qiao Jin beckoned to his grandson Ming again, "Ming, there is one more thing, I hope to talk to you alone." ”
After the business is done, Sun Ziming doesn't mind hearing it, this rapping French young man, what can he do to avoid everyone. The two walked into the room, Joaquin closed the door and said in a low voice, "Ming, are you going to visit the judges?" ”
"I can't say a visit, I should say that everyone will meet at a cocktail party."
"OK, you're a good guy, so you're lucky. Let my sister be your interpreter and go to those drinking parties. ”
“Why?”
The broken-mouthed Joaquin didn't talk much this time, and insisted: "Ming, don't ask, don't say what I said." If you do what I say, there should be an unexpected reward. ”
The grandson looked at this kid suspiciously for a long time, could it be that her sister knew a certain judge? If you know the judges, you may not even be able to find a place to live?
Joaquin made him look a little embarrassed, so he had to reveal a little: "Ming, this world is big, but it is also very small, and my sister is a kind person." ”
Fan Shani is indeed a kind girl, and when she heard her grandson Mingyi say it at dinner, she immediately agreed: "No problem, I can speak English, French, German, Italian, and Latin." Ming, I have to thank you for your generosity, otherwise I would have had to let Joaquin sleep on the floor. ”
Sun Ziming clinked glasses with Fan Shani, "Thank you, Fan Shani." Last time, if it wasn't for your help, I might have sat there until dawn. ”
"Didn't I also help Joaquin get a big business?"
"Sister, if the price you said is followed, I will have to put money in for nothing."
"Even if you take the money, you will earn back the food and accommodation for the past few days!"
With the opening of the film festival, the participating films have also begun to be screened in various cinemas, and Venice, a city of water, is crowded with film companies and fans from all over the world. The producer of the participating films also began to promote it with great fanfare.
After the public screening of "ToBeNumberOne", the crew was interviewed by reporters, and Sun Ziming answered reporters' questions in strict accordance with the design of public relations consultants.
The next day, the newspaper propaganda about "Lame Hao" also began in a disparaging voice.
The epic legend of the gangster, the scene is large, the characters are distinct, the story is compact, the plot is not delayed, and the narrative is very in place, this is a Chinese gangster epic film - "Corriere della Sera"
No one is born a badass, Howe went from a refugee to a godfather, to a villain who does all kinds of evil, character is one thing, but more importantly the environment. The harsh living environment prompted the emergence of godfathers like Howe, who, like the mafia in Sicily, were initially united by the disadvantaged. - Le Torino
'When others are greedy, I am afraid. When others are afraid, I am greedy. Howe became a godfather from a refugee, relying on 'when others are greedy, I am afraid', so that he escaped betrayal and assassination again and again. He went to perdition because 'I was greedy when others were afraid.' The complexity of human nature, this is what "ToBeNumberOne" wants to express? - Le Italiana
China Ming still pays too much attention to the commercial elements of the film, in addition to the discussion of human nature, what we see is hundreds of people fighting, cruel torture and killing, and constant betrayal and betrayal. I'll admit that this movie is very enjoyable and can easily stimulate people's adrenaline and get people in a state of euphoria. But too much violence and dramatic conflict weaken the film's thinking about human nature - "La Repubblica"
