The big boss and the eldest lady came to visit, which rekindled the hope of the DreamWorks production team, which had just been hit by Chen Lichun.

Knowing that the problem was all solved, and tomorrow he could take the copy to the United States, Britain, France, West Germany, Hong Kong and other countries and regions to prepare for the global release, President Feng Boqing was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Now that they're here, Qingqing and Justina certainly want to get a sneak peek.

The two of them went to the small screening room to try it out, while Li Weimin sat in his office and had a meeting with the production team that was about to leave.

"It's not easy to win the Oscars, but it's not that difficult, as long as you analyze it carefully, you will find that there are several unspoken rules. First of all, from the composition of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which is responsible for the awards, 94% are white, 77% are male, 86% are over 50 years old, and the average age is 63 years old.

The judges are for life, and there will be no changes except for the death of the members, so the nominations will be 'very white', and the male lead is white and has a big advantage. That's why a veteran film critic once quipped that 'country clubs are more diverse than the Oscars'. ”

Feng Boqing smiled and said nothing, and the team members were eager to try like scholars who were about to take the exam.

Li Weimin politely rejected the cigarette handed by the producer and continued: "Stable and unified judges have created a stable and uniform taste. And the older the judges, the more traditional, conservative, and demanding the tastes become. Americans have an inexplicable affection for Britain. The Oscar judges are even more so, and they have quite a serious British complex.

However, it must be admitted that most British actors have a strong background in classical literature and drama, often practice on stage, and most importantly, they have a charming accent! Therefore. Compared to those American actors who were picked up by talent scouts from the road. British actors will be more popular with the Oscar judges. The audience loves them too. ”

DreamWorks' new work "Hanoi-Little-Sister" greatly satisfies the tastes of the Oscar judges and American audiences.

The actor is white and invited from Hong Kong.

Hometown London, theater actor, classical literature and drama skills, a charming British accent, whether in movies or in life, with a polite and humorous gentlemanly demeanor.

The plot is adapted from "Madame Butterfly". It has a strong oriental color, which is both traditional and conservative and innovative, and at the same time conforms to the background of the times.

What's more, the big boss personally composed the theme song for the movie.

Although it has not yet had time to be released after production, some film critics and music critics in the United States have begun to speculate whether DreamWorks' new work will surprise the soundtrack again.

The production team was full of confidence, and a photographer smiled: "Mr. Li, I have seen all the films being screened, such as "A Good Gentleman", "Life and Death Love", "Wind on the Ship" and "Picnic Banquet". ”

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated. Feng Boqing also watched it, crossed his arms and smiled: "Besides, we are competing for the Best Foreign Language Film Award and the Best Original Music Award." Those new Hollywood films are not a threat to us. ”

"Winning awards is important, box office is even more important, if you just applaud or not, it will outweigh the losses."

Li Weimin nodded slightly, and then said: "I mentioned the unspoken rules just now, and public relations promotion is also one of the most important ones, to sum it up, it is nothing more than a few points, first grasp the release time, first release it on a small scale during this time, win word of mouth, and then release it on a large scale during the awards season to deepen the impression;

The second is a professional and intensive propaganda campaign, so when you come to the United States, you have to hire the best PR team in the country, and if you really don't know who to turn to, you can find the manager and team who have helped the U.S. presidential campaign. Reluctant children can't trap wolves, only big investment can have big gains and win the box office.

Finally, there is the smear of the opponent, which we don't need, at least not for the time being. In addition, you should be ready to really enter the American film market, this time to compete for the best foreign language film award, and next time you will win other awards. To open a branch in Hollywood, to have our own cinema chain in the United States. ”

From the perspective of profitability, it is better to make a movie that can sell well a year than to make a dozen movies that do not have a lot of box office. But as a film production company, you can't just make one or two movies a year.

Feng Boqing said in a low voice: "Mr. Li, we are studying the script and plan to make a few more films after the New Year." In addition, Mrs. Yao just mentioned that as the first film production company in Vietnam, we should not just make money, but also make more films that are popular with the locals and support the government. ”

Chen Lichun made this request, and Wu Tingjiao made it at least 20 times.

The dream factory belongs to the Li family, and Li Weimin really didn't want to shoot a lot of "sample-board-play" against the Vietminh and in support of Ngo Dinh Diem, so he smiled casually: "I have considered this, what is a dream factory, as the name suggests, is to make a dream factory." As the first film production company in Vietnam and as the leader of the Vietnamese film industry, we want to play a certain role in promoting the entire industry.

The next step could be a fund to run a series of director, screenwriter and actor training courses to help those who aspire to pursue a career in film. The script is good, and I feel that I can make money when I shoot it, so I invest in them. Studios and photographic equipment can be rented, and post-production services can even be provided. ”

Let others make films that are not particularly profitable, and at the same time gain a good reputation, you can tap into local film acting and production talent.

Feng Boqing's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help laughing: "We only shoot classics, only engaged in theater construction, the more they shoot, the better the box office, and the more income we will earn." ”

"That's what I thought."

Li Weimin crossed his fingers and smiled: "At least 6 cinemas should be built in the urban area, and those on the embankment can be acquired, and if they can't be acquired, they will be built by themselves, plus several industrial villages under construction, by the end of this year, we will have at least 20 cinemas in Vietnam." Next year, it will develop in other cities, and strive to complete the layout in Vietnam within two years.

When there are enough funds, and then to Hong Kong, Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia and Thailand to develop, to set up a branch, responsible for the construction and operation of cinemas, and only with its own cinema line, can a relatively complete industrial chain be formed, in order to avoid the situation encountered last year. ”

……

The big boss pointed out a clear direction of development and promised that all the profits of DreamWorks in the next four years would be used for construction, and everyone was greatly encouraged and chatted for more than an hour, until the eldest lady and Justina walked into the office with red eyes, and the topic was not finished.

On the way home, Li Weimin smiled and asked, "Crying?" ”

"It's so touching, the heroine is so pitiful, I can't help it."

"You can only cheat money if you cheat tears, which shows that the movie is very good."

Giustina came up with the phrase: "It's not necessarily popular in France." ”

Li Weimin said with a smile: "The theme is a little anti-French, but in France now, except for de Gaulle, anyone can make a different voice, at least some people will welcome it, and I don't expect the box office in France to be high." ”

Qingqing lived in France for a while, but during that time, she was all familiar with the environment, and she didn't know much about French politics, so she asked with a puzzled face: "Brother, why can't General de Gaulle make a sound?" ”

"Before World War II was completely over, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill stepped down. Britain has not completely come out of the smoke of war, and Churchill, who led LinkedIn to win the war, was ruthlessly abandoned by the people. In an interview with reporters, Mr. Churchill once said: "Ingratitude to great people is characteristic of a strong nation." ”

Li Weimin looked at the pedestrians in the car window and continued: "According to this logic, France is also a powerful nation. General de Gaulle became a national hero and at one time held the highest power, but almost all political forces opposed him. Considering him a dictatorship, disapproving of his reformist views, he was forbidden to make any statements in newspapers and radio, and had to hide at home and write memoirs. ”

Thinking of her terrible experience, Giustina muttered: "If General de Gaulle had not resigned, Vietnam would not be what it is now." ”

"My dear, national independence is the trend of the times, and even if he remains in power, it will not change anything. But I think he can change France, he can lead France to be respected again, to have the status of a great power again. ”

"You're saying there's a chance he'll come back?"

"In just a few years, more than a dozen governments have changed, and without a strong figure, France will really become a third-rate country. I believe that your compatriots will make the right choice, and if you want to enter politics and become an outstanding female politician, you should support General de Gaulle and be his staunchest supporter. ”

After going through so many tribulations, Giustina was much more mature than Qingqing, and asked thoughtfully: "Like you did when you supported Ngo Dinh Yen?" ”

"Why not, you need a goal, you need to set a direction for yourself."

"In France, a woman cannot be a politician."

Giustina will not live that chaotic life again, and at the same time have no clear direction for the future. Because of the previous series of experiences, she lost a beautiful vision of the future that a girl should have, and if she didn't find something to do and didn't help her determine a direction, she could really go to the convent to be a nun.

Li Weimin thought that this was an opportunity, stared at her eyes and said seriously: "My dear, if everyone thinks like you, women will never be able to fight for their due social and political status." Believe me, support de Gaulle, you will find it very rewarding. ”

"What can I do, I won't know anything."

"The government did not allow General de Gaulle to express his opinion in the newspapers and on the radio, but he could go to some public events such as speeches. You can join the coalition that he started, help with fundraising, help organize events. In this way, you will meet many new people and have a fulfilling life. But keep going to college, or your father and brother will be very disappointed. ”

A new environment, a different way of life, sounds like a good idea.

Justina pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Okay, I'll try." ”
