Chen Bodao: "As far as I know, one of the conditions for the Chinese government to negotiate with the WTO is to open up and reform the film market one after another. The commercialization of the film industry is just beginning, the entertainment industry needs an economic foundation, and now that the economy is developing faster and faster, the cultural market will be more prosperous in the future. ”

"Really?" Ning Hao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't believe it.

"Of course it's true, I can't lie to you. In the future, you can shoot some MVs for the company in your spare time, first, to exercise your ability, and secondly, you can also have a more stable income. Sign a temporary contract first, so you're not afraid that there are no guarantees, right? ”

"Would the company be willing to sign a new director? I'm not Feng Xiaogang's kind of wrist? ”

"I forgot to tell you that I am the largest shareholder in this company. No matter how much you wrestle your wrists, you are from a young man, why are you in a hurry, don't forget me when you are a cow B! ”

Chen Bo didn't know if this was coercion or lure, anyway, he pulled Ning Hao onto his thief ship. He is not an artist, and advertising endorsements and the like must have nothing to do with him, those are all jobs that can only be taken by big directors, and the list is very small. His current contract can only be regarded as a special cameraman, after all, he has not directed any works independently, but this is enough. Give him a backing, let him learn slowly, good gold will always shine, even if he is given a big script now, he may not be able to do it well.

"This is the artist's latest announcement information, you have seen it." Li Xueer took over a stack of forms and handed them to Chen Bo.

"Why give it to me? Sister Hua should be found for this matter. "What does the artist notice have to do with me, I don't care about anything, I just don't have anything to do and no place to go here to spend my days, it's rare to be a hands-off shopkeeper. Besides, I don't understand these things! Chen Bo said in his heart.

"This is what Sister Hua said, let you, the big boss, also know more about the situation of a company, and you can't be too idle." Li Xueer said with a smile.

Yes, this boss has worked hard, Chen Bo glanced at it a few times, and now all the artists in the company are basically in the crew, and there is no one who is idle, and Sister Hua's ability can also be seen from now on. The agent does not follow the artist all the time, mainly to contact film appointments, advertisements, and arrange announcements for media meetings. Major occasions will be coordinated, and at other times, there will naturally be artist assistants responsible for daily life and work.

Chen Daoming's "Kangxi Dynasty", Li Bing's "Clever Little Don't Understand", and Fan Bing's "Zhongguancun Fengyun" are all in production. However, Hu Junzheng's film "Lan Yu" caught Chen Bo's attention, which is based on the online novel "Yanjing Story" and reflects the emotional life of marginalized people of the same sex. And at the Golden Horse Awards on Taiwan Island, he won Best Actor and Best Editing, as well as several nominations.

"Sister Hua," Chen Bo knocked on the door of the manager's office, "You check, whether Liu Ye, the protagonist of this movie, has signed a company, if not, take it down." Well, and his girlfriend. Of course, he refused to let go of Liu Ye, a powerful cash cow, and if possible, he would package and sign it together with his little girlfriend.

"Doesn't seem to be, but he's a newcomer, is it worth paying attention to?"

Wang Jinghua's thinking is still stuck in the past operation methods, mainly focusing on some already well-known artists, but also because the current film and television brokerage has just started, if it is pushed back a few years, many students who have just graduated from the acting department will be targeted by the brokerage company, and even some Internet celebrities will be poached by small companies.

Chen Bo said, "I think the company's thinking needs to be changed, and now that it is a corporatized operation, don't be afraid of artists." It can be laid out in advance with the old with the new. There will be more and more brokerage companies in the future, and artists are a scarce resource. The newcomer appointment can be harsh, and for the wrists in the circle, you can set up an independent personal studio attached to the company. ”

Wang Jinghua nodded and said, "Well, you're right. I took the time to go to the crew, and by the way, I learned about his situation from Hu Junna, and signed it if I had development potential! ”

Chen Bo continued, "Although we are a brokerage company now, my goal is not here, we will be involved in film and television production, distribution, and record production in the future, and only in this way can we form an industrialization." is a single brokerage company, and many film contract resources are in the hands of other companies, and it depends on people's faces, and Sister Hua often runs the crew to recommend actors, and she knows the bitterness of this. ”

Wang Jinghua agreed, but she didn't expect his idea to be so far, and said, "Your heart is big enough, I just want to be satisfied if I can do a good job in the brokerage company." ”

"Either you don't play, you can play a big one, otherwise it's meaningless, right? Sister Hua, you take the time to register a film and television production company, although you don't need to shoot now, we can buy some copyrights in advance, find some best-selling novels on the market, and buy film and television copyrights. I'll be useful later! ”

Chen Bo was also inspired by "Lan Yu", and the novel has always been a film library of film and television copyrights, and in the words of later generations, it is a popular "IP", intellectual property. If you don't shoot or not, you will first take it into your arms, and when the time comes, you will have actors, crews and investment, and a system will be formed by self-production and self-sales.

As soon as mid-December passed, Chen Bo returned to the Provincial Public Security Department to get his passport, and in order to save time, he found a way to the U.S. Embassy through Xiong Xiaoge. IDG's parent company is in the United States, and capitalist countries are not completely equal.

The T3 terminal of Yanjing Capital International Airport has not yet been completed, and the current T1 and T2 have shown fatigue in the crowd. The annual pick-up and drop-off passengers have reached 20 million, of course, compared with the annual flow of more than 80 million people in the future, it is still pediatric, at best, it is the level of Changshui Airport in Chuncheng. But it is now among the top 30 busiest airports in the world.

As soon as Chen Bo found his seat, he received a call from Zhou Xun, and since the last time the two of them parted from the bar, there has been no contact, and Chen Bo did not take the initiative to look for her

Zhou Xun said softly, "Where are you?" And there was no harsh tone as expected.

Since the other party didn't mention what happened that night, of course Chen Bo wouldn't take the initiative to provoke her, "I'm at the airport, on the flight to the United States, and I haven't taken off yet." ”

There was a pause on the other end of the phone for a few seconds: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it last time. ”

Chen Bo said, "I only remember drinking too much that day, and I have long forgotten what happened." ”

"Will you bring me a gift then? I love Superman. ”

"Okay, I'll give it to you when I get back."

The plane slowly slid out of the berth and turned into the runway, the voice broadcast system has begun to remind all passengers to turn off the telephone and other electronic communication equipment, and the beautiful flight attendant lady came to softly remind that she was about to take off, Chen Bo had to hang up the phone and turn off the phone.

After nearly 20 hours of long-distance flight, he finally landed on the American continent on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean. His legs were numb in the narrow cabin space, and he must buy first class when he went back, Chen Bo secretly sweared. The first thing I did when I got off the plane was to find a bathroom and light a cigarette, take a few puffs, and suddenly feel like an addict.

The slightly discriminatory look of the white customs repeatedly asked Chen Bo about the purpose of coming here, and only after repeated explanations and an invitation letter from Apple was stamped and released. Business visas are so troublesome, I really don't know what to do if I get a travel visa, Chen Bo thought hatefully, today you ignore my love, tomorrow you can't afford to climb!

Get out of customs and rest for the day in San Francisco. An appointment was made with Apple, and formal negotiations began two days later. But CEO Jobs's time is uncertain, and the other party has not given a clear answer, so it all depends on luck. This is understandable, the industry leader of a large international company, who is busy like a dog every day, how can he have to receive such a small role as you because you have two trademarks in your hand. It comes down to being strong enough to get someone else's attention. Thinking about it from another perspective, Chen Bo didn't feel that there was anything unfair in his heart.

Naturally, Apple's dedicated legal team will be responsible for the transfer of trademarks.

Chen Bo didn't have the heart to wander around in a foreign country, and used his limited time to search for news reports about Apple from Yahoo and collect some local media magazines. Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles. Chen Bo does not have a large and professional team to obtain and analyze business intelligence, so he can only rely on his own God's perspective to make some judgments in combination with the current news.

There are car rental shops in the city, and Chen Bo learned that he can rent a car in California with a Huaxia passport, and he doesn't need an international driver's license. After paying the security deposit, I rented a small Ford, and according to the map signs, I went all the way south along the 101 and 280 highways in the United States to reach Silicon Valley.

The West Coast is on Highway 101, a popular stretch of coastline from south to north, from Los Angeles to San Francisco, across the Golden Gate Bridge to Seattle and finally to Canada. It's just that it's a cold winter, and there is no bright sea of flowers in spring.

But this idyllic country road makes people feel extra comfortable, listening to songs and driving. Passing through several small towns, looking at the Christmas ornaments hanging outside the shops, I realized that I had moved from socialism to capitalism, and Christmas was still a few days away.

Compared with Pengcheng, there are not so many crowded people, not so many high-rise buildings, and no sense of oppression in the forest made of cement and steel. The picture that Chen Bo thought of was the "Chongqing Forest" directed by Wang Jiawei, with dense buildings and a sky as narrow as a wellhead, which was suffocating.

Passing by Stanford University, you can vaguely see squirrels bouncing and foraging in the lawn, and people and nature live in harmony, which is not exactly the realm pursued by the ancients.

However, although everything is good abroad and Chen Bo also enjoys this journey, he still hopes to return to China, which is his homeland and his foundation. I never thought of immigrating, and there are many benefits. But what about his future descendants, a banana with a yellow exterior and a white interior.
