Chapter 362: I'm lame for the second son of Paiqi
Martin Mason had never heard Xu Ji's name at all.
He didn't really care about any of that.
For this Guona Film Festival, it is enough for the film he invested himself to be shortlisted.
As for the specific awards, and who won these awards, it doesn't have much to do with him.
He didn't care about any of this, the only purpose of participating in the national program was to show his face once, so that his father, who was the boss of Paiki Pictures, could see it, and then cheat the other party out of money.
Otherwise, he would be said to be unprofessional, and he would have to stop all his credit cards.
......
But the movie he invested in has obviously been nominated, and now the process is halfway through.
He was also bored and began to look for suitable female stars at the Kina Film Festival.
The identity of his second son of Pai Qi has been tried repeatedly, and some women who want fire take the initiative to come up.
The process is hardly a matter of concern, and it will generally go smoothly.
It's just that the current situation is completely beyond his expectations.
The big screen on the stage was exactly aimed at him.
And everyone at the scene looked in his direction.
But it was not him who won the award, but the Chinese man named Xu Ji.
Although Martin Mason often participates in various award ceremonies, he can be regarded as a person who has seen the world.
But in general, he belongs to the pure audience.
In my words, I don't quite adapt to the feeling of being watched in the spotlight.
It's the same at this point.
After being photographed, the whole person was surprised, and then showed some embarrassed expressions.
......
"What the hell is going on?"
"Why isn't Xu Ji sitting there?"
At this time, the person in charge of the Guona Awards Ceremony was also confused by the sudden accident.
The key is that this award is still live.
In other words, the current oolong mistake is a very serious on-site accident.
"Hurry up and cut the shot."
"Also, find the location of the winner!"
The person in charge shouted loudly in the background, and then urgently commanded to deal with the unexpected situation on the scene.
At the same time, the person in charge of arranging the guest position this time was already sweating profusely.
Xu Ji's position was indeed changed by him.
The main thing is that the second son of Paiki Pictures who asked for a change of position can't afford to offend.
What's more, he had no idea who would win the award.
He is only responsible for the layout of the venue and arranging everyone's position according to the above requirements.
Although Xu Ji was shortlisted for this national acceptance, he didn't know this Chinese person at all, and he didn't have much popularity.
I thought it would not have much impact if I just changed the position.
Unexpectedly, in the end, Xu Ji won the award directly.
Now things can only go in the direction he least wants to see.
But he can't shirk this responsibility, so he can only try his best to make up for it.
hurriedly said the location of the crew of Xu Ji's "Fireworks in the Day", and then let the awards return to their original trajectory.
......
Although it is said that there was an accident, the official of Kuna is indeed very capable in all aspects.
After getting the seat numbers of Xu Ji and several people, it took almost more than 20 seconds to react, and finally the camera found Xu Ji who had just gotten up.
Of course, in fact, the test was the two who were the award presenters.
Fortunately, the award presenters are also old fritters in the entertainment industry, but they are not stage frightened at all, and the gag chatter can be regarded as helping the official solve this problem.
But even so, this mistake, Guona is estimated to be sprayed.
After all, Martin Mason's big face appeared for a short time just now.
And the other party's reputation in the United States is not small, although it is said that they are not very good reputations, but it does not prevent him from being known as the second son of Paiki Pictures.
......
Then everything returned to normal, and Xu Ji also came to the stage to accept the award according to the process and gave his acceptance speech.
Of course, this made Martin Mason breathe a sigh of relief.
He's still quite afraid that Xu Ji will hold a grudge.
After all, if the other party holds a grudge against him for deliberately changing positions, then he will definitely still be affected.
At the very least, he will definitely be known by his father, and then directly cut off his financial resources.
Xu Ji's testimonials are actually some more official words.
Although it is a national award, it is also a considerable award in the world, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of domestic reports or something at that time.
But in fact, as time went by, Xu Ji became more determined about these.
After all, he is not the former director college student who has just graduated and has no guarantee for his future.
In the final analysis, these foreign film awards, although some feel that they are very high.
But that is, the influence is greater, but compared with some domestic awards, it is not very noble.
Moreover, these foreign awards, on the contrary, there are many disgraceful things.
Capital is even more ubiquitous in foreign entertainment circles.
......
Guona's award ceremony continued, but Xu Ji returned to his position and continued to eat the pastries in front of him seriously.
Not to mention the rest, as far as these cakes at the Guona Awards ceremony are concerned, the taste is really good.
And Xu Ji also found out that foreigners' money is indeed quite easy to make.
Perhaps Huaxia has always been more crisis-conscious, and many people will save money.
However, many foreigners are more inclined to the idea of having alcohol today and getting drunk today.
I don't even blink my eyes when I spend money.
It is also because of this that Xu Ji is also thinking about whether to plan a plan to make money from these foreigners.
Of course, this kind of thing is certainly not so easy, and it needs to be planned slowly.
At least Rafael Cooley, who asked him to work with him before, is also inclined to let Xu Ji work for a big company like Lianye.
This certainly did not meet Xu Ji's own expectations.
After all, Tongji Entertainment is now quite well-known in China, and his boss still runs out to work for others, which doesn't sound right.
What's more, the more large a company like Lianye, the more outrageous it is to exploit people.
Naturally, it was impossible for Xu Ji to agree.
......
Towards the end of the awards ceremony, it was finally time for the only two shortlisted awards for "Fireworks in the Day".
That is the best actor shortlisted for Wanrongli, and he is also the most concerned actor in the entire country.
In addition to "Fireworks in the Day", there are four other films shortlisted.
Two Europa films from two different countries, one from the United States, and the other from the Stick Country.
Of course, in fact, none of the five movies are very popular in terms of popularity.
However, in one of the American movies, although the actors are newcomers, the director is indeed a well-known international director.
Therefore, it can be regarded as the most vocal part of the national actor this time.
But it is clear that the result this time is going to surprise many people.
"Won the 37th National Nata Film Festival, the best actor is ......"
"Fireworks in the Day, Rongri Wan!
! ”
"Congratulations!
! ”
......
Unlike Xu Ji's award-winning Tang Ding, Wan Rongli was obviously stunned when he heard his name at this time.
Immediately, the whole person was pleasantly surprised.
Excitedly, he stood up directly, and then hugged Xu Ji and Chen Jinyu one by one.
At this time, everyone else at the award ceremony was a little surprised.
Obviously, this time the national actor is an upset.
In fact, not many people have seen this "Fireworks in the Day".
What I didn't expect was that no one paid attention to a movie before the awards began.
In the end, he won two awards for Best Screenplay and Best Actor.
If nothing else, the film is indeed going to become famous after the National Nata Film Festival.
And as a new actor, Wan Rongli even hopes that he can successfully enter the showbiz in Europe and the United States by relying on this award.
Of course, it will be much easier than some newcomers.
But after all, there are still a lot of restrictions as a Chinese, and it must be more difficult to develop than some previous national actors.
And Wan Rongli actually has no such plans.
Even if he wins the award, he will still be very determined to continue to stay in Tongji Entertainment.
After all, after all, about a year ago, he was actually just an out-of-fashion artist who was riddled with black material, and he didn't even have the company willing to want.
Now that he can stand on the podium of Guona, Wan Rongli knows very well who it is.
So when standing on the podium and speaking the acceptance speech at this time, Wan Rongli mentioned two Xu Ji's names in three sentences.
Although the accent of Ban Vieng Li is not good, it is quite fluent.
Mainly because of that time when he quit drinking, he taught himself several languages, and at that time it was just to divert his attention and to understand the original sound of some foreign movies.
I didn't expect it to be used now.
......
At this time, many people in the audience were also a little surprised after hearing Xu Ji's name.
Obviously, the Chinese man who won the best screenwriter before seems to be not just a simple screenwriter.
Although Xu Ji is very famous in China, he even has a lot of fans in many countries around China.
But in Europe and the United States, it is true that there are basically not many people who know each other.
In this case, some of the people present were a little curious and began to search for Xu Ji on the Internet.
Among them is Martin Mason, who previously switched places with Xu Ji.
Mainly because when Xu Ji won the award before, that kind of determined performance made Martin Mason feel very curious.
Unexpectedly, this Chinese movie won another award.
It is also the award for the best actor in the country with the highest attention.
And from the testimonials of the award-winning actors, he heard that Xu Ji didn't seem to be an ordinary movie screenwriter.
This made him want to know more about this person called Xu Ji.
This search was unacceptable, and it was found that another film written by Xu Ji before also won the Tunisian actor one of the three major film festivals.
And Xu Ji himself is also the owner of Huaxia Entertainment Company, and both movies are invested by his company.
And the award-winning actors in it, and the director named Chen Jinyu, turned out to be from Xu Ji's company.
It's just shocking.
......
Wan Rongli finished his acceptance speech and walked off the stage.
But at this time, Martin Mason was no longer in the mood to continue to pay attention to the awards ceremony at the Guona site.
Instead, I have been looking at the introductions about Xu Ji on the Internet.
The more he watched, the more surprised he became, although he didn't pay attention to the entertainment industry and stars in Huaxia.
But it is clear that Huaxia is indeed one of the largest film and television markets in the world.
The numerical advantage, coupled with the economic conditions, is indeed a covetousness for many European and American capitals.
It's just like Huaxia can't enter the American market, and as time goes by, the American entertainment industry has become more and more difficult to make money in China.
Especially in terms of the box office of the movie, it is greatly discounted compared to the past.
Including his father's company, Paitch Pictures, he made a lot of money in Huaxia but all kinds of copyright fees.
......
The Guona Film Festival officially ended, but Xu Ji and the three did not participate in the follow-up party, but left directly.
Mainly for these people in the European and American circles, the three of them don't know anyone.
Rafael Cooley, the only one he met in the past two days, actually didn't have a good relationship.
And the other party also made an appointment to meet Xu Ji alone, so there is no need to participate in such a party.
It's clear that Rafael Cooley isn't the type of person who likes to be boisterous.
After the award ceremony, I immediately found Xu Ji, who was just about to leave.
couldn't bear the other party's enthusiasm, Xu Ji and the others finally went to dinner with the other party.
Of course, halfway through Rafael Cooley, he still warmly invited Xu Ji to go to Lianye and then develop in the United States.
But they were all directly rejected by Xu Ji.
Although he was a little disappointed, Raphael did not continue to mention the matter.
To Xu Ji's surprise, he was ready to leave the small city of Guona the next day.
I received a strange phone call.
In fact, his foreign phone number has only been done for a long time, and no one should know it.
However, after knowing that the other party was the one who forcibly changed positions with him yesterday, Xu Ji was relieved.
It is estimated that Martin Mason got the contact information from the official side of the Nationala Film Festival.
After hesitating, Xu Ji still agreed to meet the other party.
Of course, mainly because he already knew from Raphael's mouth at this time that the other party was actually the second son of Patrick Pictures, one of the eight major film companies.
......
At this time, there were not many people in Guona, and many people who joined in the excitement left one after another after the award ceremony.
So at this time, Guona suddenly returned to some of its former coldness.
Martin Mason and Xu Ji made an appointment in a small café.
When the other party saw Xu Ji for the first time, he didn't drag the mud and water, so he apologized for the forced change of position with Xu Ji yesterday.
Attitude, that's called a sincerity.
After hearing Xu Ji's forgiveness, he also directly expressed his other intentions.
That is, I also want to cooperate with Xu Ji, but it is also the same as Raphael, paying Xu Ji to be a director to make movies and enter the American market or something.
Of course, Xu Ji wanted to laugh when he heard this.
Although Martin Mason is the second son of Page, he himself does not have much money.
and is still a rather strange son, and his reputation has long been stinky.
When Raphael talked about it, he was disdainful.
Of course, Xu Ji didn't think so.
After all, Raphael really relied on his own vision, became a complete rookie director, and was shortlisted for the national program.
So at this time, Xu Ji suddenly turned against the customer.
"Mr. Martin, you said you invested in me, how much is that?"
Xu Ji asked.
Martin Mason was stunned for a moment.
"At least ten million! No, twenty million! ”
"Dollars!"
His tone was very firm, but his expression was obviously a little unconfident.
Xu Ji shook his head.
"Do you know how much my company spends on film and television every quarter?"
"What you're saying doesn't appeal to me in the slightest."
Martin Mason blushed, but didn't refute either.
Because he checked, Xu Ji, the boss of Huaxia Entertainment Company, did tell the truth.
"And don't you know what your reputation is in the United States?"
"The rich second generation who loses money, loses money, and doesn't know anything, is even suspected of not being your father's biological son, after all, the gap between you and your father is too big."
After Xu Ji's words, Martin Mason's face darkened.
"Mr. Xu Ji, if you insult me again, I will probably hit you."
Although what Xu Ji said was difficult to hear, in fact, Martin Mason himself knew his own business, and there was really no reason to refute it.
"No, no, no!"
"I didn't mean that, I just think you're just giving up on yourself right now."
"Because of those remarks, you don't have the confidence to prove yourself."
"Are you really like what those people say? Is it really a loser who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to learn? ”
"They say you, and you're going to do what they say?"
"If it were me, the more they would say, the more I would prove myself and slap them in the face!"
"There is an old saying in China, called the tiger father has no dog son."
"You need to prove now to the people who speak coldly, and to your father, that Martin Mason is not a loser."
"Trample all those who look down on you under your feet, not by Picy, but by your own strength!"
......
The more Xu Ji spoke, the more excited he became, and the more Martin Mason listened, the more his heart beat faster.
Obviously, he has completely fallen into the imagination of Xu Jishuo.
After Xu Ji finished speaking, he took a sip of water.
But at this time, Martin Mason suddenly showed a somewhat helpless and confused smile.
"Can I really?"
Xu Ji answered directly: "Of course you can!" ”
"Don't you want to prove yourself?"
Martin Mason nodded immediately, and then said with great certainty:
"Of course I do!"
"But ......"
Seeing Martin Mason's expression at this time, Xu Ji couldn't help but smile.
It seems that he was right.
Although there are many rumors, in fact, who wants to be a waste?
Even a rich second-generation son like Martin Mason wants to prove himself more.
Xu Ji finally said his intention at this time.
"In that case, I can help you."
Hearing Xu Ji's words, Martin Mason was a little stunned.
"You come and work for me."
"I can help you prove your worth!"
Martin Mason saw Xu Ji's firm and sincere look, and subconsciously nodded and agreed.
But he soon realized something was wrong.
What the hell was he doing here?
How do you feel tricked?
