Chapter 201: Cooperation
Ying Shuai looked at Aunt Thirteen proudly, waiting for the award presenter to announce the best director, completely forgetting his expectation that he would not win the award in the first place, which was stimulated by Aunt Thirteen's award.
"Congratulations to Werner Herzog for his award-winning book "Boat on Land". ”
The guests on the stage had already announced the results, the handsome smile froze on his face, and the thirteenth aunt couldn't help but laugh when she looked at him.
"Don't worry, there's the best picture, that's the main thing. Ying Shuai said with some embarrassment.
"The Best Picture was the Great Disappearance and the Road to Freedom... ”
"Your sister doesn't want to give a buddy a double yolk egg?" Ying Shuai was even more disappointed when he heard the result, looking at the contemptuous eyes projected by Aunt Thirteen and Li Xingyun, Ying Shuai wanted to cry without tears, and said Okay, what about pretending to be forced to slap your face? I'm the protagonist, okay!
This is a typical pretense of being stepped on, but he was not completely without gains, winning the Special Jury Prize in Cannes, second only to the Palme d'Or.
This award is considered to be the third prize of the festival after the Palme d'Or and the Grand Jury Prize, but the problem is that it is not available at every festival, so it is often the result of public relations.
Ying Shuai looked meaningfully at Li Xingyun beside him, who shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent.
"Do you really think that the film festival can win awards without public relations? Li Xingyun leaned into his ear and said softly.
Yingshuai naturally knows that the entertainment industry will not be clean no matter where it is, but Europe and the United States are making public relations of human feelings in the open, such as investing in the judges' movies, etc., and Daming is making human relations in the dark, in fact, the world is hot and cold, and there is no difference between eggs.
It's just that Xinghe spends so much effort to praise himself, which makes Yingshuai faintly uneasy, Li Changfeng will not just do it for the income of five percent of Yingshuai Pictures' shares.
。。。。。。。。。。。
"Sit, nephew. Li Changfeng said to Yingshuai with a smile.
In fact, when he saw Li Changfeng in Fa Guo, the handsome man was not surprised, he must ask for something in the courtesy, and Li Changfeng gave himself such a big gift at the Cannes Film Festival this time, naturally it will not be without reason.
"Mr. Li, thank you this time. Yingshuai couldn't figure out the other party's purpose, so he had to fight first.
The two talked about it from movies to red wine, but they didn't get down to business.
"Ahem!" Li Xingyun on the side couldn't stand it anymore and coughed a few times.
"Hehe, Ying Shao is young and promising, I don't know if he is interested in exploring overseas markets?" Li Changfeng asked with a smile, looking like a kind elder.
However, Yingshuai will not be confused by his appearance, how can this old fox who has been crisscrossing the mall for decades be so easy to deal with.
"For the time being, my focus will only be on China, and I haven't considered overseas markets yet. Heroic smiled.
"Hehe," Li Changfeng smiled meaningfully, "but I intend to open up overseas, why don't we join forces?"
"Isn't Galaxy and Huanyu strategic partners?" asked Yingshuai, pretending not to know.
"Huanyu?'s appetite for the galaxy is too great, and he wants to annex the galaxy, although our Li family is not as powerful as the Yan King, but he doesn't want to send people under the fence... Li Changfeng's eyes flashed, and he slowly said his plan.
Hearing him say it so directly, Yingshuai was also moved, this kind of secret thing was said, naturally he really wanted to cooperate, both sides were smart people, and the truth and falsehood could naturally be distinguished.
In fact, I am not ignorant of the dynamic heroes of Xinghe, the leader of the cinema chain in the industry, and with the information given by Li Changfeng, I understand Li Changfeng's purpose.
Although Huanyu and Galaxy are strategic cooperation, the Yan King forces behind Huanyu are not fuel-efficient lamps, even if Yan Wang himself does not have the idea of annexing Xinghe, his children's forces are also complicated, not to mention that the performance of annexing Xinghe can greatly add points to their inheritance of the title, so in recent years, Huanyu has been encroaching on Xinghe step by step.
Although there is the support of the Han/Guogong Li family behind the galaxy, the Li family is also divided into two forces, one bright and one dark, Li Changfeng represents the power of business, in fact, it is to support the Li family's power in officialdom.
The real foundation of a big family is in the officialdom, and now is the critical moment for the head of the Li family to fight for the cabinet, which is naturally inseparable from the support of King Yan.
It is naturally impossible for the Li family to turn against King Yan for commercial interests, but after the Li family is the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, its strength will not be much weaker than that of King Yan, and it is impossible to give up such a big benefit, so Li Changfeng will open up overseas markets to avoid the edge of King Yan's forces.
On the one hand, he wants to develop overseas acquisitions of cinemas, but he can't do without the development of the film field, which is called the combination of soft and hard, but although Galaxy is the boss of Daming Cinemas, in fact, the strength in film production is not strong, so he wants to find Yingshuai to cooperate.
Listening to his plan, Yingshuai did not answer immediately, there are naturally advantages to cooperating with Galaxy, such as winning this award, without Galaxy's public relations ability, it is naturally impossible.
In addition to the Ming market, Yingshuai Pictures can only affect the Asian market, and it is very difficult for Europe and the United States to open up overseas markets.
But cooperating with Galaxy means bearing the wrath of Huanyu, and Huanyu naturally has some scruples about targeting Xinghe, but is afraid that it will vent its anger on Yingshuai Pictures.
"Director Ying, let's invest in making a few influential movies in Europe and the United States together, which can be regarded as inspiring the prestige of Daming's films, this thing is going to be done, you can be regarded as setting up a signboard for Daming films, and you have to give a thumbs up when you mention it decades later. Li Changfeng lobbied on the side again.
Naturally, Yingshuai would not be so easily fooled by him, so he smiled: "This is naturally no problem." ”
"What does Director Ying mean?" Li Changfeng knew that he still had something to say when he saw Ying Shuai so happy.
Sure enough, Yingshuai smiled: "Yingshuai Pictures has produced a film aimed at the European and American markets, and you will be responsible for the publicity and distribution, uncle." ”
"Huh. Li Changfeng smiled, if he used so much effort, Galaxy would naturally use the name of his own company to expand its overseas influence.
"Director Ying, I don't think we have to beat around the bush, I mean to ask you to make a few films for Xinghe. Li Changfeng said.
"That's me working for my uncle. The handsome man said with a slight sarcasm.
"It's cooperation, I can be responsible for the overseas distribution of Yingshuai Pictures' films in the future, and the director's salary for the films you shoot for Galaxy will be 20 million plus 5% box office dividends. Li Changfeng continued as if he hadn't noticed his emotions.
This remuneration is already very generous for ordinary directors, and the price of big directors in Europe and the United States is also this price.
Ying Shuai smiled but said: "If Mr. Li doesn't have the sincerity to cooperate, I don't think there is any need for us to talk about it." ”
