Swings and roundabouts.

Li Yan was robbed of the best director by Sun Ziming and was not much sure, but he won the best film that he valued most in the industry, and when he stood on the stage to deliver his acceptance speech, he was so excited that he burst into tears.

"First of all, I would like to thank the many people who were present and not there, such as my partner Fat Yun Zhou, screenwriter Diana, Jack .......

I think "Brokeback Mountain" belongs to me Li Yu alone, and if it is filmed by someone else, I will be very angry! The film is neither about same-sex /, women, love, but love itself.

Thank you all for your support, thank you to my wife and son, I love you and I will always be with you. Although my father passed away during this period, I would like to thank my mother and my compatriots in Taiwan, Hong Kong and the mainland. Finally, thank you all for your concern! ”

As the producer, Fa Ge kissed the little gold figure in his hand, but only said one sentence, "I'm honored, I finally got it, in another capacity!" ”

The audience applauded thunderously, as if returning to the night ten years ago, when "The Shawshank Redemption" failed the Oscars, this Asian man lost the long-awaited little golden man. Ten years, as the No. 1 actor in Asia, he played a supporting role in Hollywood for ten years, and finally officially established his superstar status with a "Pirate of the South Seas", and then fulfilled the dream of a little golden man in disguise with a "Brokeback Mountain".

After the award ceremony, Sun Ziming's estate became a sea of joy. Whether it was a competitor just now, or a real partner or friend, everyone surrounded Sun Ziming and Li Yu, saying words of compliments and congratulations.

Of course, there is no shortage of Spielberg's banter, "Ming, you are really insidious, keep saying that the best director must be Lee, let us all vote for him, but secretly, hum." ”

This really wronged Sun Ziming, the public relations department of the Light and Shadow Group went all out to publicize Spielberg, and Tino's public relations company did its best to publicize Li Yu, who knows why a little golden man smashed on his own head in the end?

"Really?"

"Not really!"

Sun Ziming swore in front of celebrities, friends, and old friends, "The Buddha can testify, but I really don't!" If I hadn't taken it, I might have gone to public relations, I took it twice, and this time the competition is so fierce, do I secretly make small moves and cheapen others? ”

Public relations and lobbying are open rules of the game in the United States, although you can't put a bad movie on the podium, but you can definitely help films and directors of equal strength win the golden man. The people present have been in Hollywood for most of their lives, and they have seen a lot of chasing fame and fortune in the circle, some people secretly despise it, and some people are puzzled.

James and Spielberg are both old friends who have been friends with Sun Ziming for more than ten years, and they know his temperament very well. The Oscar statuette, people who have never won it dream of it, and it is just like that, not to mention that the quality of the film after entering the new century is far inferior to the nineties. This guy could grab two in the nineties, and he will go back on his word for the sake of the current one? When everyone dispersed, and only a few real friends remained, he reminded: "Ming, since you don't have it, then someone must help you." Be careful, there's no such thing as a free lunch. ”

Sun Ziming glanced at the Tino couple in the distance, and smiled: "I guessed who it was, and it is estimated that they will have to come to me in two days." ”

In fact, it won't wait for two days, and when the party was coming to an end, Tino came over with Alexander, who was still charming, "Ming, there were too many people just now, now congratulations again on your success!" ”

"Tino, it's not so much my success as yours."

Tino, who is very good at talking, touched the cup with Sun Ziming, and denied it again and again: "No, no, you are too careful." No one has that much influence to sway the preferences of thousands. Ming, your movie is really wonderful, coupled with your good reputation and noble sentiments, so that everyone can lean towards you when they are in a dilemma, which is the key to success. ”

This is very good and very reasonable, but it is full of nonsense. Under normal circumstances, Sun Ziming can compete with Spielberg, George Clooney, and even Bennett Miller with "The Wolf of Wall Street", but he can definitely not compete with Li Yu, who caused a cultural boom. If no one secretly spends millions of dollars on public relations and lobbying, then thousands of judges will take these factors outside of the film into account?

Sun Ziming smiled, stopped continuing the topic, and mentioned the preparation for the filming of "Transformers".

"Tino, do you remember our agreement? "Transformers" was negotiated by me personally with Hasbro, so I can't give you the amount of investment, can you understand? ”

Tino shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Ming, I didn't mean that." ”

It's not good, since the last unpleasantness, Sun Ziming has positioned Tino and them as partners. If there is a benefit, everyone will cooperate, and when there is no benefit, everyone should keep a good distance, and if there is a chance, I don't mind breaking my wrist again.

"Ok, I still have to thank you", Sun Zi Ming beckoned to Kadai Sato next to him, whispered a few words, and said with a smile: "Tino, when I leave, I'll give you a gift." ”

Sun Ziming's style of not owing favors made Tino smile bitterly: "Ming, I really didn't mean that." ”

"Small Meaning"

By the time Tino and the others left, Kayo Sato had already put an agreement in their car to increase Alexander's investment in "Iron Man 1" from 5% to 6%, which is really not indebted.

After seeing off the guests, Li Zhi and Lee Young-ae, who had been reunited for more than ten days, also went to the airport, one to return to China to supervise the children's study, and the other to return to South Korea to start work. When Sun Ziming came back from the airport, only Wang Fatzi, Fa Ge and a bunch of gamblers were left in the house, and even Li Yu and his wife were forced to the gambling table by them.

The most popular one was Brother Fa, and while putting away the banknotes on the table, he gossiped: "Ziming, Alexander's husband, is the one who secretly helped this time, right?" ”

"Hmm", Sun Ziming sat next to Li Huan, took the banknote in Lu Huiguang's hand, and sighed: "Etiquette must be asked for by others." ”

"You didn't suffer, did you?"

The people at the table were quiet, and they could spend millions of dollars on secret public relations, and what they asked for must be not small. Sun Ziming really knows this in his heart, Hanhua Energy is listed in Moscow, and a considerable part of the interests are left in the Russian Far East, but Tino and they only use the oil company as an ATM, and it is estimated that they are in trouble this time and want to ask for help. Well, Guozhong suddenly asked everyone to have a meeting in advance, saying that he had something to discuss with him, probably mainly for this matter.

"Am I that stupid? I went back, everyone is not all the way, why do you owe him favors? It's a pity Lao Li, if no one disturbs the situation this time, the best director's little golden man will be nine out of ten! ”

said that he didn't regret it, it was a lie, but the matter had come to this point, and Li Yu had no choice but to accept the facts. What's more, he has always thought that even if no one disturbs the situation and everyone competes fairly, the little golden man may not be his.

"Ah Yu is right, "Crash" and "Wall Street" are also enough to hang, we still don't have to flow into the fields of outsiders!"

Fa Ge's words were echoed by everyone, but Sun Ziming knew it in his heart. If you rob other people's things, you have to compensate them, and you are no longer a small person, but a hegemon.

"Lao Li, I have the right to adapt a novel, which is also a western theme, are you interested in filming?"

Before Li Yu agreed, Fa Ge agreed for him, "Yes, as long as you fancy it, our company will definitely be interested." It's better to be the kind that can make money and win prizes at the same time! Hey, by the way, you're a good person to the end, and then help write the script, you can't take the two best in vain, right? ”

Sun Ziming saw that Li Yu didn't object, and looked at him with a smile, and said briskly: "Okay, I'll do the script outline." However, the ugly words are ahead, whether it will make money or not, I can't guarantee it! ”

The previous words made Li Yu hurriedly thank him, but everyone didn't say the latter words.
