Chapter 452 Screening of Cannes
After the Spring Festival, when he came to the hexagonal headquarters for the first time, Li Yuan felt overcrowded.
called Wu Yongping to his office: "Da Lang, why are there so many people?" ”
"Isn't that the intern you sent?"
"Intern?"
"The ones your daughter-in-law sent from the Elliptical School."
"Oh!" Li Yuan suddenly realized that it was those laid-off female workers, "How are they doing?" ”
"Your big sisters? Our guys here can't stand them, and in the light of day, they dare to tease us in public, huh? ”
"Huh? Looks like you're very experienced, huh? ”
"Don't slander me, I'm inexperienced. I was unlucky enough to have this experience. Wu Yongping smiled, "Anyway, they have nothing to do, and we don't know how to arrange internships for them." ”
"That's how you did it? Isn't there a lot of outsourced work? You can give it to them. ”
"Huh? Can they really do it? Originally, we were looking for undergraduates, and we had to intern here for more than half a year, and we could only work independently if we passed the assessment? ”
"It's not like that at all. Isn't it just a homepage? As long as you have some art foundation, you can do it with a dog, so why waste college students? Let them all get started, and at most the trial time will be stricter. ”
"Okay then! But those are all outsourcing from foreign customers, what if something goes wrong? ”
"If it really doesn't work, I will be diverted to other jobs in the future. If you pass the audit, you will end the internship period and join the subordinate outsourcing company. Parabola ends these messy businesses as soon as possible, how many things are waiting for you to do. ”
The business of IT migrant workers like this, after a few decades, is basically outsourced, and the bachelor's and master's degrees of third-rate universities are sufficient. At this time, college students are still very expensive, and there is no room for waste, so they must be used where they are most needed.
In the next project, it is definitely impossible for one to fight alone, and it is impossible to even be reborn like Li Yuan. So try to make use of these "big sisters" and give them a chance to play their abilities.
Truth be told, if you really work hard, you can use it. If you really can't do it, you can only divert to other offices and do some office automation work. The future is certainly very slim, but at least it can guarantee a job.
"That'll do!" Wu Yongping nodded, "It's just that you send people over in batches, I'm afraid there won't be so much outsourcing." ”
"I'll get in touch with the parallel line, there should be a lot of business there. Also welcome... It's really not good, I let the metaverse shoot an animated movie, and it can solve hundreds of people. ”
"That's good. But fate, if it continues like this, it seems that there is not much office space. ”
"Oh? Are we not having enough floors left? ”
"Hey! There are so many other companies that have been arranged to come in, and they are all the offices you have booked. Recently, the rental to the outside world has been very good. I heard that the second child is weak, and he is almost full. Including the buildings outside. ”
"Got it. I'm going to sort it out, and some companies don't need to stay here and go outside...... Buy a few more tiers! Including outsourcing companies, it is also possible to relocate out. In the future, in addition to your parabola, let's leave the hexagonal headquarters here! We also save trouble, who cares about those broken companies? ”
"Huh."
After a few discussions, it was decided to build a few more commercial buildings between the third and fifth ring roads in the suburbs of Beijing and relocate those unimportant companies.
"That's good! Yuanzi, I'll be busy first if it's okay? ”
"You're busy! Nothing here! ”
"Then I wish you success in Cannes? Hearing that you didn't pass the domestic review this time, in a fit of anger, are you ready to say goodbye to the film industry? ”
Li Yuan laughed: "Get out of the way." I'll take a trophy and smash you to death sooner or later! ”
"Then I'll wait. Hehehe. ”
……
Regarding this year's Cannes Film Festival, Li Yuan's registration and review were quite smooth, and he entered the main competition unit without any obstacles.
It's like the year after the big year. The last year's best films, coupled with the 96 golden years in film history, the quality of this year's participating films is not very good.
Li Yuan has already seen the list of films in the main competition unit, except for Wong Kar-wai's "Happy Spring", which is relatively famous, the others have not even heard of it. No wonder "Slumdog Millionaire" went so well.
Of course, as a "famous director" in Chinese mainland in Cannes, Li Yuan won the favor of the Cannes Organizing Committee, basically green light all the way, and was guaranteed to enter the final main competition unit.
So after being busy for a while, Li Yuan and Jiang Qingqing embarked on a flight to Cannes.
In the first-class cabin, Jiang Qingqing felt fresh when she saw everything: "Brother Yuan, is the seat so big?" ”
"You can still lie down. Grab it, there's also the airline's VIP card. ”
"Huh?" Jiang Qingqing took the VIP card in surprise, "How to use this card?" ”
"You can ask for a flight attendant and enjoy VIP service." Li Yuan joked, "But there will be more and more people who get the card, and there are many requirements, and some of them are very strange." So as soon as you see a VIP guest, the flight attendant's eyes can roll out of the atmosphere. ”
"You're Hu. Giggles. Jiang Qingqing was amused, "Didn't Brother Hua go together?" ”
"It's just the two of us. Hua Tsai departed from Hong Kong and our crew met in Cannes. Alas! He will definitely be followed by a lot of Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment records. The two of us will be ignored, who let the film bureau not pass? ”
"Didn't I listen, haven't I come up with an opinion yet?"
"That's called 'staying in the middle and not sending it', which also shows the attitude of the Lingying Bureau. It's really inexplicable, we shoot Hong Kong's realistic criticism, and it's not our mainland, why are they nervous about the film bureau? ”
"Really? So what to do? So how do you pay for yourself in your project? ”
"It depends! It's nothing to lose some money, as long as you're happy. Hehe. ”
"Nasty!" Jiang Qingqing said coquettishly, "Hey, ask you, I listened to it in the factory, and Hong Kong laughed at that advertisement." Am I ashamed? ”
"What year are you? Now it has become an international trend, and the fishing village in Hong Kong knows a fart. ”
"Really?"
"Don't you believe me? Public opinion has long been reversed. Besides, if you don't mix with the Hong Kong circle in the future, what do you care about them? ”
"Hey, hey. Is this yours? I ask you, what about my next movie? When I arrived at the Beijing Film Studio, I ran a few tricks, and I had nothing to do! ”
"Don't care. You'll be busy in no time. Seeing Jiang Qingqing's expectant look, Li Yuan smiled and pinched her nose, "Hehe, I seem to listen, I'm about to open a private film and television company." When the time comes, you'll come over and be the art director. Self-produced and self-sold, who would dare not let you be the heroine? ”
"Huh? I...... I don't know anything about art director? Are you coaxing me? Jiang Qingqing was surprised and delighted.
"It's not really for you to manage, you just put your name on it. When that time comes, who will dare to ignore you? ”
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Starting from this year and next year, the domestic film and television industry will undergo huge reforms. The first is to merge into four major film groups. Of course, the most famous is China Film. and allow the establishment of private film and television companies.
Feng Xiaogang's "Endless" will become an instant hit and begin to create the myth of Huayi Brothers.
In the field of TV dramas, the mainland has also produced a generation of god films - "Huanzhu Gege". It has completely changed the landscape of domestic TV dramas. At that time, who will stay in those state-owned factories.
"Oh! I forgot to tell you that both of your stocks went up. ”
"Really? How many are there now? ”
"I don't remember. Anyway...... You should be a multimillionaire, right? ”
"Really? Giggles. So is there money? ”
"Believe it or not?"
"Hee-hee! That's good. I'm also worried that Beijing Film Studio will resign and won't have a home in the future. I can lie down at home now. Brother Yuan, I don't even want to make a movie. Hee-hee-hee! ”
"Huh? Whatever you want. ”
"Can I get the money now?"
"Keep it! More in the future. If you are short of money, you can ask me. ”
"Hey, hey. That's pretty much it! ”
“……”
……
Chatting all the way, time flies. When she came to Cannes, Jiang Qingqing was still quite excited.
"Let's go to the hotel! Let's sleep for a while. ”
"Don't! Don't do that! ”
"Huh? Where do you want to go? Jet lag! ”
"Brother Yuan, I'm not tired, let's go to the store, okay? I want to see a French brand. ”
"Then I have to go to the hotel to drop off my luggage. Don't pull and pull, how can this be? ”
"Isn't it good~~!"
"Okay, okay! Hey? ”
"What's wrong? Brother Yuan. ”
"Qingqing, why don't you even have a fashion brand? You're terrible, aren't you? Hehe. ”
"Hu! You're not helping, aren't you? Do you want...... You help me buy a fashion factory, and I'll be your model. Yo for life? ”
"Huh? Lingerie brands? ”
"Humph! Make you hu. I watch! It's fashion! ”
"Huh." Li Yuan snorted, this is simply impossible. Who wastes time on fashion?
"Huh?"
"What's wrong again?"
"Qingqing, did you find it? Since the two of us have started now, you haven't asked me once, can I get the award this time? ”
"Giggle." Jiang Qingqing laughed wildly, "Then you still need to ask-it's about participation!" If you can't even look down on the film bureau, how can you win the award? Okay, okay, I'll comfort you later. Hahaha! ”
“……”
Li Yuan was choked half to death. It seems that this trip to Cannes, everyone doesn't watch it, right? Including the women in the family, as well as the friends around them, there is no one who thinks he can win the award?
But then again, the film bureau in this era is still very authoritative, at least in Bei Rao's mind, they are very authoritative. Due to the Film Bureau's "stay in the middle and not send it", everyone is no longer optimistic.
Never mind. In fact...... Li Yuan has no bottom in his heart. After all, the original version is an Indian subject shot in the UK. Now that the background is in Hong Kong, a considerable part of the magic changes have been made. And who can know the effect of such a magic change?
……
Although he is a descendant of Cannes, in fact, in the international film circle, Li Yuan's fame is just like that, and it is not even half of his in the field of computer IT.
Because of the red carpet of the opening ceremony, even the TV broadcast was introducing Li Yuan's parallel lines, and it seemed that he didn't care about this movie at all. didn't care about director Li Yuan at all.
One by one, the film industry in this era has not yet been thoroughly entertained, especially the three major European ones like Cannes. Li Yuan's status as an upstart and billionaire of science and technology has not brought any benefits, but has brought a lot of negative impressions - is this a pain in the eyes of a rich man who is idle again?
In the end, in terms of popularity, this "Slumdog Millionaire" is not at all as good as several other popular films in the competition. Until the one that was released in public.
However, there were still very few spectators, and most of the reporters who came were joining in the fun. Or, they prefer that it's a bad movie, which is what makes a splash.
Just come and see the fun!
"Everyone is welcome to come and watch our film." Li Yuan, Jiang Qingqing, and Liu Dehua stood on the stage and said a few simple words, "No nonsense, watch the movie first!" ”
Li Yuan's straightforward attitude brought a burst of laughter. Amid ceremonial applause, the film was officially screened:
Between the oppressive high-rises, it is the Kowloon Walled City, a slum in Hong Kong.
"Ah Hua from the slums found his first love Ali and participated in a TV quiz show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", when Ah Hua broke through all the way to the last problem, about to win a prize of 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and became a millionaire, but the host of the show determined that he was cheating, notified the police, and arrested the poor man on charges of fraud......"
The police were as skeptical as the moderator that an uneducated poor man would be able to answer so many questions that even experts were not sure about. Under the severe torture of the police, Ah Hua always insisted that he did not cheat, and explained how his difficult and painful life experience and the answers to the questions were closely linked......"
The beginning of the film is gripping. This type of TV quiz is very popular all over the world, so reporters and viewers can understand it as soon as they see it.
And in the process of magic reform, a lot of nonsensical elements of Hong Kong films were introduced. It also made the theater laugh constantly.
This also made the audience focus all at once. Many people are curious, guess the fraud in the show? Is this a crime movie?
These strange answers to these questions reveal the dark and miserable life of the poor represented by Ah Hua, poverty, class conflicts, religious conflicts, gang violence, racial discrimination, displacement, and abduction......
"Ah Wah was born in the slums of the Kowloon Walled City, where there are only narrow streets, chaotic people, muddy rivers, and shocking garbage in the walled alleys......
"Ah Hua's mother was killed in a gang conflict when he was a man, and he and his brother Ah Yong lived on the streets begging for their lives, wandering around. During the wanderings, Ah Hua met the orphan Ali, and the three of them lived a poor life in order to make ends meet, and then they were deceived and used by traffickers......"
