Chapter 519: Knocking on the former supermodel
On the first day of February, the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Sun Ziming rushed to Berlin with Fa Ge and Lu Huiguang, and joined Alexander and Morgan Freeman, who had already arrived.
In the hotel room, after Alexander finished reporting his public relations work, Sun Ziming knocked on the table lightly, "Everyone knows that "Shawshank" is a classic, but the effect of watching the film is not good. Now, we can only hope to win the big prize and attract the attention of fans to pull up the box office. Okay, let's take a good look at the information, and in an hour and a half, we'll meet again. β
"OK", Morgan Freeman and Fa Ge left the living room with the information, and the grandson explicitly signaled Claudia to stop the former supermodel. When the door closed, Sun Zi Mingcai smiled and said, "Miss Alexander, you should be fine, right?" β
"OK", Alexander, who was tall and sultry in his posture, sat back again, and said a little indignantly: "Ming, I know what you want to say, that matter has nothing to do with Tino." β
Sun Ziming's smile froze, if Tino and the others didn't act separately, then there must be a third group, and the other party was not for commercial purposes.
"That's good, can Tino help me find out?"
Alexander looked at Sun Ziming strangely, and suddenly smiled, "Except for those commercial spies who didn't find out, the rest were found out." What you are worried about will be delivered to you as much as possible, and you have to believe in Tino's strength. β
Sun Ziming's heart was relieved, and then his face was full of frost, "Thank you Tino for me, let him tell those two for me, I don't want this unpleasant thing to happen again." I don't have a good temper, and if there is another such thing, I will definitely take revenge at any cost. β
Alexander just wanted to defend himself, but let Sun Ziming force him back with fierce eyes, "Alexander, don't doubt my determination, you should have heard a lot about me, right?" I don't like to play tricks, if you want to play, everyone just throws all your belongings on the gambling table and happily decides the winner! β
There was a dead silence in the living room, and Claudia glared at Alexander, Tino and their people could put bugs right under her nose, which would make her lose face in front of the boss!
After a moment of silence, Alexander finally relented. Santino can become the leader of Tino and them, and it is also this kind of deadly ferocity that can lead their small group to rise quickly. Alexander has seen the shadow of Shantino ten years ago from Sun Ziming, which is why she has always been obsessed with Shantino, but she never dared to give him a face in person.
"OK, I'll tell you. It's nothing, I'll go to the theater where the movie will be shown tomorrow. β
"Go ahead", Sun Ziming also buried his head in the information. In order to win the award, in addition to the quality of the film, it is also essential to understand the preferences of the judges and the advantages and disadvantages of the opponents.
After reading the information of the judges, and then comparing the advice given by the public relations department, Sun Ziming couldn't help but nod secretly. With someone like Alexander joining, the PR department of an American company can be compared to a Hong Kong company.
When he flipped to the information of his competitors, Sun Ziming was stunned, "Ruan Lingyu"? Looking at the photo of the rabbit tooth shadow on the information, Sun Ziming couldn't help but sigh secretly. is worthy of Zhang Manyu, if there is no accident this time, she should be able to win the actress, right?
Amin MΓΌller Starr? He is one of the greatest movie stars in Germany, and has made great contributions to German films.
After reading the information, Sun Ziming had a pretty firm grasp of these trips to Berlin. "Grand Canyon", "Ruan Lingyu", "Captain", and "Earl Uzi" are good, but they are still a step worse than "Shawshank".
Just like the advice given by Alexander, it is easy to occupy the moral high ground and put a heavy humanistic cloak on "Shawshank" by associating himself with the substitution of Chinese actors for the white protagonists in the novel, and fighting for the status of minorities in Hollywood. Hehe, artists are all leftists, there is a market everywhere, as the judges of the social elite, should they also do their part to eliminate racial discrimination?
Hey, the difficulty is in the award for Best Actor. Armin MΓΌller Starr, he and Fa Ge have a quarrel! When it comes to acting, they are really comparable, and now they can only count on "Shawshank" to have more than one level of artistic appeal than "The Earl of Uzi".
When it was time for dinner, the usually optimistic Fa Ge also had a melancholy look on his face. Armin MΓΌller Starr's performance in "The Count of Uzi" is indeed wonderful, and it can be said that he single-handedly raised a second-rate film to the top level.
After hearing Alexander shift the focus of his propaganda to Jian Yiyi, who competed for the best film, Fa Ge had no choice but to sigh and promise: "Hey, that's the only way to do it." β
Who will have too many awards, but if you want to compete for an award that you are not very sure of, it is better to strive for the one that is the most certain, and one that can greatly increase the box office.
Now that it has been decided, Fa Ge has let go of his heart of gain and loss, this guy's nerves are indeed thick enough.
"Ziming, if you win the Golden Bear Award, how much can you increase the box office?"
Sun Ziming finished chewing the sausage in his mouth and swallowed a mouthful of red wine, "How do I know?" Alexander, did your PR department have any predictions? β
Alexander unhurriedly put down the wine glass in his hand and replied: "According to past experience, the box office of those who have won the three European awards will not be less than 60 million US dollars." β
"It's okay, it's okay, this movie won't lose money", Fa Ge sighed, he paid eight million dollars for this film.
If Tim Robbins is replaced to play Randy, Sun Ziming can say bluntly that 'even if the box office is unfavorable, he can make money back in the video tape market', but if he is replaced by Fa Ge, he will not dare to boast about Haikou. Racial discrimination is not something that can be eliminated in the short term. Besides, after his modification, this one is a little higher than the original artistic value, and the viewing is a little higher, and Fa Ge's performance is more superb than Tim Robbins, but whether fans can accept it is another matter.
After dinner, the people sent by Tino simulated reporters and began to ask Sun Ziming and them, and all kinds of tricky and strange questions emerged one after another. After Sun Ziming answered a few questions, he couldn't help frowning secretly, stretched out his hand to call Alexander over, and said dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter?" Could this be the case for journalists? β
The manager of the PR agency, who had been following Alexander, quickly explained: "MR. Sun, it's not a few years ago, when you came to Berlin, because of the Berlin Wall, the German mentality was relatively depressed, and the reporter's questions were more measured. Now that it is unified, media interviews have begun to entertain, often leaving some interviewees embarrassed. β
Hmph, this will also deceive Brother Fa and them, Sun Ziming will not eat this set. If the Germans can be entertained, it is more ridiculous than a sow can go up a tree.
"Brooks, don't you think I'm a fool? If the reporter's question tomorrow is not so tricky, I will let Tino fire you! β
Brooks Hetren's face turned red, he didn't dare to look at Sun Ziming's eyes anymore, and hurriedly agreed: "MR." Sun, we will immediately change it according to your requirements. β
Seeing Brooks Hetren panicked to inform a few questioners, Sun Ziming sneered, and Alexander next to him blushed, and his heart began to feel a little uneasy. As Sun Ziming guessed, this is what she wants to embarrass the crew and vent her sullen afternoon at Sun Ziming.
It just so happened that the deputy manager of the public relations department, Lena Baker, had returned, and Alexander liked to be in the limelight, and she and a group of men did the hard work. From a distance, I saw that my boss was treated coldly by the boss, and I felt comfortable, but I had to help her. Who let themselves have no good life and no strong background?
Now that the acquisition of Cal TV is nearing success, the company will grow into an entertainment group with two television stations and a film company. The group's public relations manager himself doesn't expect it, but if he pushes this vase girl to a higher position, the position of the company's public relations manager, maybe he still has hope.
While the big boss was practicing answering reporters' questions, Liana Baker made an excuse and dragged Alexander to the next room and gave her a step. Alexander wasn't stupid either, and went to the next room to thank her a few words.
Liana Baker sighed, seeing that Alexander was not annoyed, and persuaded in a low voice: "Alexander, you are now the public relations manager of our company, and you are no longer a super model on the catwalk. In the workplace, you want to think of the boss as a former costume designer, not your friend. β
Friend? Boss?
Before Alexander had turned a corner, Liana Baker had already left the room to arrange for tomorrow.
Sitting on the couch and sulking for a while, Alexander finally remembered why Tino had arranged himself in the Light and Shadow Company. The 10% investment in Sun Ziming's movie is certainly a fortune, but that is only secondary. Tino's main purpose is to bring the two sides closer together and pave the way for future cooperation. God, I almost missed a big thing!
When Sun Ziming and they finished rehearsing the press conference, Alexander hurriedly followed Sun Ziming to the guest room, and said in a low voice: "Boss, I'm sorry, I haven't fully adapted to my new role." β
As soon as he heard the word boss, Sun Ziming was a little happy, it seems that Tino and they help themselves like this, and there must be a greater purpose in the future.
"Alexander, although you are an employee of my company, we are a cooperative relationship, you don't have to call me boss."
Alexander was silent for more than ten seconds, and then said in a low voice: "OK, Ming, there are some things I can't tell you." I can swear to God that we will be your friends and will never be your enemies. β
Sun Ziming smiled, it is good for everyone to be friends, but the premise is that they can provide enough benefits to themselves, and they can afford to give what they want.
Alexander hesitated and said in a low voice: "Ming, we won't let you participate, what you don't want to participate in." You can rest assured, it's just a business cooperation. β
"Well, that's good. Arrange tomorrow's movie release and press conference, now our biggest job is this, OK? β
