An Olympic director and an important member of the Olympic Organizing Committee stood in front of him at the same time, and Lin Xiao's heart was already beating wildly.

On the way, he couldn't help but think a lot. The more I think about it, the harder it is to calm my mind.

This is probably the highest honor in the whole of China, and no matter who has no peace in their hearts.

All the way to the restaurant, he was a rare gaffe, and he was distracted several times along the way.

Until he got out of the car, he thought about it for a long time, and in the end he must have taken over the baton. Or the first stick, or the tail stick, if it is not so important in the middle, I am afraid that the section chief of the Central/Propaganda Department does not need to come in person.

After a few glasses of champagne, Zhao Yongguo smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, you know, next year is 2008, and the opening ceremony of the Chinese Olympic Games will be held on August 8 next year. ”

Zhang Yimou also put down the cup, obviously he knew very well what Zhao Yongguo wanted to convey, smiled slightly, and didn't say anything.

Zhao Yongguo's official words are set one by one: "In the past few years, you have made great progress in the film and television industry, and you have played an immeasurable role in the reform of the film and television industry, and you have made your name internationally and promoted the development of the film and television industry......"

I talked for several minutes, but I didn't say what I was going to do.

Lin Xiao asked helplessly: "Then the Olympic Organizing Committee came to me in the hope that I can make any contribution to the Olympic Games?" ”

Zhao Yongguo smiled with satisfaction, "After the recommendation of the Ministry of Film and Television, and the affirmation of the Central Propaganda Department, the country has decided to appoint Director Zhang Yimou and you to co-direct the Olympic Games!" ”

Rumble! This short sentence made Lin Xiao's ears hit like thousands of meteorites, and he couldn't believe the ecstasy in his heart!

Olympic Director! Lin Xiaoke knows very well how wonderful and gorgeous Zhang Yimou's original Olympic opening ceremony was, which made people around the world dizzy! And now, he has the opportunity to be a part of it!

There is no doubt that the Olympic Games chose Zhang Yimou, not Ang Lee, Wu Yusen, first of all, Zhang Yimou is a mainlander with a red Miaozheng, and Zhang Yimou started as a photographer, and his keen grasp of color is even higher than that of Ang Lee and others, his film lens is as beautiful as a master's painting, and the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the most important thing is the combination of colors.

For a moment, all the thoughts from his rebirth to the present could not help but well-rise in his heart.

Kangxi is out, Jade Guanyin, Black Ice ...... All the way to the big screen, writing scripts, directing, making investments, making the world's first video website, being selected as a goodwill ambassador, and driving the global 3D trend......

All of this has finally been reaffirmed by the state!

The director of the Olympic Games, this is the supreme honor!

In his previous life, there was no choice, only Zhang Yimou, and Zhang Yimou's picture really lived up to expectations, but now, there are more of him. From the artist, director, screenwriter to the present, he doesn't know how much he has done, everything is seen by the country, and Zhao Yongguo's sentence came.

For this position, unexpectedly, it is reasonable, he did not think about this position, but the state gave it to him!

"I ......," he said with a deep breath and solemnity, "I will do my best!" ”

"I will let the world realize that China not only has good artists, but also good directors! This opening ceremony will make the world unforgettable! ”

"Mr. Lin, there is a problem in this way." Zhao Yongguo said, "During this time, you try to participate in the filming of the movie as little as possible, because the country does not want to see you do two things." But in view of the fact that you have just arrived in Hollywood, Minister Wang is striving for it, and the Olympic Organizing Committee has such a division of labor. ”

"You're mainly responsible for the script, the artists, and the use of the venues...... Not...... Including some new technologies, and Director Zhang is responsible for the operation of the Olympic Games, rehearsals. ”

Lin Xiao nodded, the Olympic Organizing Committee is based on the principle of making the best use of things, his Chibi is famous for his script and novel technology, and Zhang Yimou's strengths are in the picture, such a combination is already the strongest combination in China, there is no one!

"Mr. Lin, this time you must do your best to deal with it." Zhao Yongguo said solemnly, "This is China's prosperity for hundreds of years, and there is no room for mistakes!" ”

"I understand!"

When he left the restaurant, it took a long time to calm down before he put his mood down.

With that, there is a time crunch.

He carefully recalled the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in the previous life, and there were still many places to discuss, and in the past few months, not only to complete the script of Warcraft, but also to restore the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in the previous life, after all, this is also the grandest and most exciting opening ceremony he has ever seen.

When he arrived at his hotel, he still felt his heart pounding.

"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door just in time, and he took several deep breaths before saying, "Come in." ”

Christina came in with a folder, glanced at him and said, "Finally, when you feel better, I have something to tell you." ”

Without waiting for Lin Xiao to refuse, she continued, "It's been almost two weeks since you came to Hollywood, but you don't know much about the rules here, I can't wait any longer, I must make it clear today, and I will remind you often in the future." Especially at the Venice Film Festival! ”

"Say it." Lin Xiao was in very good spirits, took a sip of coffee and said.

"First of all, we reject any discrimination, whether it's racial discrimination or sexual orientation discrimination, you can discriminate against them in your heart, but you must not say it."

"Second, the identity of a philanthropist is very conducive to the development of artists, and it is also the last straw for artists, and there are countless precedents in Hollywood for saving their lives because of charity. I know that you have done a lot of charity after you got the profits of Chibi in China, but this is the United States, China's charity does not represent American charity, you get such a large sum of money, everyone will be red-eyed, charity is the best way to let those flies in the shadows die down. ”

"Third, there is a clear left-leaning phenomenon in Hollywood, so no matter what occasion in the future, you must pay attention to your words, and if you say the wrong thing, it may be the beginning of your catastrophe. The best thing to do is to keep silent when asked, especially if you're not American. ”

Christina said a long list in one breath, and finally waved her hand in annoyance, "Okay, you are not popular, but step by step from the bottom, how to mix in this circle, you should know better than me." I'm going to tell you something else today. ”

"I've investigated two houses this week...... her gaze is still a little blank "As you said, I've also investigated several other large banks and companies, almost all of which have this problem...... If you can't keep both rooms...... Maybe it's really like you're saying...... The economic crisis is coming......"

Speaking of this, she gave a cold war, reluctantly picked up the coffee and took a sip, "However, as your agent, what I have to do is to take care of your business, if you don't go bankrupt, I can live well, to put it bluntly, you are my credit card to survive the economic crisis." ”

"So, I thought about what you said about merging new lines." She pressed her temples and said with a wry smile, "Lin, do you know that your biggest enemy in the United States has not moved yet, and if it really treats you as an opponent, you will end up very worried." ”

"You mean AOL Time Warner." Lin Xiao used an affirmative sentence.

"Yes. The third film group in the world to be founded...... Its connections have long penetrated into all corners of Hollywood...... Originally, I didn't want to tell you this, but if you are going to sue the CW today, I think I can't afford not to mention it. Christina is not without worries: "The person you used to face, also called Warner, was just Warner Bros. The Hollywood Big Six, the reason why they are called the Big Six, is not as simple as the movies and records that outsiders see. Take AOL Time Warner, for example, it has TV stations, newspapers, media, magazines, comic strips, Warner Records, New Line Productions, and Warner Bros. Distribution...... This is a system that is so complete that it can't be more complete, no matter if one is the main body, the others can complement each other, you beat Harry Potter? It's okay, their Harry Potter soundtrack still sells well and can even be adapted into a TV series. This is an opponent that you can't beat right now. ”

"Before your victory, it was just a few games with its little brother Warner Bros., and you won't be unhappy if you win Time Warner, after all, there are so many departments of super large multinational groups, and there is fierce competition within their own departments, maybe Warner Records is laughing at Warner Bros., look, you don't want us to help you get it back. However, once AOL Time Warner has spoken, all the departments below will be unified at once. ”

"What does this have to do with merging new lines?" Lin Xiao frowned and asked.

"Listen to me...... In the United States, the government has strict antitrust rules for film companies, and no film company can be responsible for both the production and distribution of films. However, it is often possible for so-called different companies to become owned by the same company through some kind of relationship, and this is not something that the government will worry about. So, a Hollywood movie may be shot by A Productions, then distributed by B Distribution Company, and finally made into a videotape by C Home Entertainment Company for families to buy or rent. The government is concerned that Company A, Company B and Company C cannot control each other, but it does not care whether the three companies are controlled by the same Company D. ”

After saying so much in one breath, Christina said with a solemn gaze, "It's like...... The new line is affiliated with Time Warner, produced by New Line, distributed by Warner Bros., and both are controlled by AOL Time Warner...... If you merge a new line, then you are cutting a piece of meat in Time Warner's production company, although they are affiliated with many production companies, but this will definitely not be allowed by them! ”

Lin Xiao also understood that if he did this, he was afraid that it would immediately attract the ban of Time Warner's parent company, and Christina was warning him.

"But this opportunity is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if we want to have a bigger market, Hollywood must not miss it, and there is already a dawn to start, and our foundation is really good."

"That's all I have to say." Christina said firmly, "Do!" A must do! If this opportunity is successful, you will get a big piece of the pie and a boost to my salary by the way...... That's an afterword. ”

"There is one of the easiest ways to deal with the ban, and that is to share interests. That is, the emergence of the so-called interest group, once there is an interest group around you, Warner will not move you until you are forced to do it. And Warner Bros., for Time Warner, a predator, is not within the scope of 'last resort'. ”
