"Huh? Can I go too? ”

Wu Yuan was stunned.

If he remembers correctly, after the expiration of the WTO film agreement "back then", renegotiation was a very high-level negotiation.

He also doesn't remember any relevant reports that there are people from the cultural and sports circles in the delegation, at least they must be high-level officials from the Film Bureau and the General Administration, right?

How can he, a pure director in the literary and sports circles, get involved in this matter?

"Director Wu, you are the party concerned, so I will tell you about this directly."

Representative Li spread his hands and said patiently: "Actually, this matter is not a secret on the side of the Film Bureau. ”

"If you want to form a delegation to negotiate with the United States, you will definitely need some professional consultants."

"In China, no one knows the film industry of the two countries better than you, and you also know the most about Haolaiwu, and there is also a film company in Haolaiwu."

"When it comes to negotiations on film-related issues, you must be invited to participate as a consultant."

"It's just that this kind of thing will definitely not spread everywhere with swagger, and even if the negotiations are successful, the specific negotiation delegation will not be announced to the outside world."

"In fact, this is also a kind of protection, after all, no one knows how the impact of the newly negotiated agreement will be on the mainland film market."

"Negotiations like this at the national level, maybe a small clause, after the final implementation, will affect the market of hundreds of millions or even billions, causing some companies that could have been operating normally to face difficulties or even collapse because of the new terms."

"So anyone involved in the negotiations will try to keep it confidential and won't make it public."

"My own work is about the import and export of films, so I know some of the inside information here."

Wu Yuan nodded as if he didn't understand.

These things were something he couldn't get into in his "previous life", and he only knew that a new agreement was reached in 2012 in his previous life, but who exactly was going to negotiate was not the news that he could know at this level.

It turns out that in this kind of negotiation, there will be real industry bigwigs as consultants?!

"Then there should be other advisors besides me, right?"

"Director Zhang Yimou?"

Representative Li shook his head: "No, you should be a consultant in the film industry." ”

"Because you are not only an internationally influential director, you are also the owner of Hollywood's film company, with a dual identity, and at the same time, you know very well about the production of films, the distribution and distribution in both countries, and the market."

"Other mainland directors, even if some of them are also very influential internationally, their understanding of the market may not be as clear as yours."

"The bottom line is that they don't look at the negotiations at a macro level."

"This negotiation is not only about the number of films introduced in the account, but also about the proportion of box office sharing, the issue of approving films must also be renegotiated, and the treatment of co-productions must also be implemented."

The negotiation of the new agreement this time is not just a matter of competing for a few more parts of the account to introduce films.

This involves the tens of billions of film markets behind it, and even to put it seriously, it will affect the development of the film markets of the two countries.

What kind of agreement should be reached so that Hollywood can not only become a part of the development of Julie's mainland film market, but also not affect the self-reliance of Chinese films, the development of private film enterprises in the mainland, and protect the Chinese film industry.

This is a very complicated matter, and it is not something that a simple director can have an opinion about.

Actually, Wu Yuan didn't understand either.

His film production company, which can develop so well on both sides of the ocean, has nothing to do with his market vision or anything, it is just a golden finger with foresight.

Where does he know how many blockbusters are controlled by Haolaiwu, which is the best for the Chinese film market, and at the same time can make Haolaiwu satisfied.

However, Wu Yuan did not panic.

He doesn't understand any of this, but he has a hanging!

He knew what kind of memorandum of understanding agreement was finally reached.

When the time comes, if he is really called to join the negotiating delegation as an adviser, he will just improvise.

"I see, thank you Representative Li." Wu Yuan thanked with a smile.

Representative Li waved his hand: "It's nothing, it won't be long before you know about it." ”

"The specific time for negotiation must be lower, and the higher authorities will definitely notify you."

"Okay." Wu Yuan nodded.

"The flight is still long, so let's get some sleep and rest."

At 3 o'clock in the morning on September 13, Beijing time, Wu Yuan and the Huaxia Army who went to the Venice International Film Festival arrived at Beijing International Airport.

The airport was still bustling at three o'clock in the morning, but there were not many reporters squatting here.

The attention of the three major European ones is really not as good as a year now.

After Wu Yuan said goodbye to the others, he quickly got into the nanny car that came to pick him up and went home directly.

"Coming back?" Liu Yifei opened his eyes in a daze and saw Wu Yuan standing in front of the window changing pajamas.

"Well, why didn't you pick me up today?"

Wu Yuan asked with an aggrieved face: "In the past, every time I returned to China, you would come to pick me up in person if you were free." ”

When Wu Yuan set off for Venice, the publicity period of "Young You" was basically over.

Now domestic films, except for a very small number of phenomenal works, most of the films have almost exhausted their box office potential in the first two weeks of release.

The same is true of "Young You", the box office in the first week of release was 400 million, and it plunged in the second week, leaving less than 200 million, and only tens of millions in the third and fourth weeks of the next week.

In the end, the box office of this film was fixed at 678 million, temporarily ranking first in the box office of mainland films this year.

However, the topic of "school violence" caused by this movie has been hot on the Internet, and there are still many people discussing "school violence", and even extending to the field of social issues.

But all this has nothing to do with Liu Yifei, for her, after the publicity period is over, she will be completely liberated and can be left at home.

But things don't seem to be the same as Wu Yuan thought, Liu Yifei at least didn't stay at home as a salted fish today.

"I'm tired." Liu Yifei turned over, leaned the pillow behind his back, yawned, and said, "I went to shoot a pictorial with my mother today, and I didn't finish work until 1 o'clock in the morning." ”

"I wanted to call it a day and pick you up directly, but I was too hungry, so I came back to eat first, and I was very sleepy after eating, and I wanted to squint for a while, and I fell asleep all of a sudden."

Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows, "Pictorial? Or shoot with your mom? ”

"Yes, yes." When it came to this, Liu Yifei immediately became energetic, and said with a smile: "VOGUE wants to make a mother-daughter fashion theme, and invited me and my mother to help them shoot a cover, and I agreed." ”

"Originally, my mother didn't want to, she was embarrassed to appear on the camera, and she felt that she was old and didn't look good in pictures, but under my coquettish offensive, she still agreed."

"The finished film is good-looking, and when the magazine comes out, I will definitely buy a batch of collectibles."

"You just go to the photographer and ask for the original film." Wu Yuan rolled his eyes and said with some amusement.

"That's right!" Liu Yifei clapped her hands, and then she reacted, "I'll contact "VOGUE tomorrow." (End of chapter)
