The plane was not full, and the two of them had originally booked business class, so they got together and chatted all the way together.

Of course, Su Changqing doesn't like to talk to her because of how good-looking Meluran Dora is, or because she is a descendant of the dragon, since she is still a cultural official of the US Embassy, there are some things that can't be bypassed, and I have to look for her if I haven't met her for a while today.

Commercial exchanges between the two countries are inseparable from the policy paving and matchmaking of business officials, and the same is true in the cultural sector, where the operating mechanism is much the same, and there is more content censorship.

Su Changqing's experience proves that it is impossible for cultural products to enter the US market without examination, and the cultural officials of the embassies of the host countries have a considerable say.

In addition, the United States has a tradition of lobbying politics, and it is legitimate to approach officials to fight for their own interests, and it may be offensive to seek other avenues without approaching.

In this regard, we can still take Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" as an example, the film won a series of international awards such as the Berlin Golden Bear, and then was nominated for the Academy Award.

But when Kai Ge was dumbfounded, it was not him who won the award, the best foreign language film was awarded to the Brazilian film "The Lover of Eight Thousand Gold", which is of average quality and not well-known, and it seems that "Farewell My Concubine" was deliberately avoided.

Afterwards, the Oscar judges calmly told Kai Ge that they also thought "Farewell My Concubine" was very good, but they never saw any public relations actions from the producers, thinking that they didn't need the Academy Awards very much, so they didn't give it.

To put it bluntly, if you didn't come to beg me, of course you won't give it.

This tone is really familiar, and village cadres with normal brains don't talk like this.

Isn't the most authoritative and famous film award in the world a candy according to quality?

It's really not, at that time, Brother Kai probably never expected that he would have to go through the back door on the other side of the ocean, and he did it openly and legally.

The Oscar Committee is not an official body, but it is an authoritative body, and the two behave in the same way.

Brother Kai later learned a painful lesson, and his public relations skills have been greatly improved, but he can no longer make movies like that.

It is inappropriate to describe lobbying as going through the back door, but in fact it is more like petitioning, the door of the government is open, and anyone can walk in and speak for their own interests, which seems to be very transparent and close to the people.

The power structure of modern countries is quite complex, there are many departments, and it is useless to petition in the wrong place, so there are lobbying groups that specialize in helping people petition.

The lobby groups are all capable people, who are very familiar with each of the yamen, and are as close as a family with the officials, and have a very high success rate in handling affairs, but they have to collect money to do things in these groups, and in fact they are spending money to do things.

Bribery is illegal everywhere, and lobby groups must not bribe in the lobbying process, so the United States has a legal political donation system.

Politicians are there to campaign, and it is illegal to bribe them directly, but they can donate money to their campaign and put the money into a special account.

Isn't this just spending money to help him become an official?

But this is not a bribe, you can receive money transparently and openly, you have to say that this is also a bribe, you know a fart? How old are you?

Of course, Su Changqing understands this, for example, if he wants to ask Melulan Dora to help him enter Hollywood, it is not okay to give money and gifts, and it is illegal to give more than ten dollars.

Just now he invited Melulan Dora to a cup of coffee, and she carefully confirmed whether it was more than ten dollars, otherwise she would have to pay for it herself, and there was no room for negotiation, and she seemed very clear and honest.

But if Melulan Dora wants to run, she can put money into her campaign account and help her become an official.

There is a limit to how much money a person can make, and it is illegal to play too much, so you can also find a legal lobby group and give them the money, and then they will set up a legal fundraising committee and organize people to send money into the campaign account.

Money is the fundamental guarantee of successful lobbying.

More than a decade later, the United States has abolished the limit on the amount of personal political contributions, and you can put as much money as you want into your campaign account.

It doesn't matter if Melulan Dora doesn't run for office, the law still leaves some room for these officials.

Su Changqing can invite her to some expensive tourist resorts for meetings, or participate in charity activities, such as inviting her to play charity golf, participate in charity dances, charity outings and other activities, which are all legal.

In other words, it is okay to travel in the name of a meeting, and it is okay to invite officials and dignitaries to eat, drink and have fun, but in the end, you have to donate a sum of money to charity, and everything is legal.

But it's best not to soak her, at least not publicly, once you have a personal relationship, the entrustment is not so reasonable, and it may even be illegal.

Su Changqing decided to start with Melulan Dora and legally establish a good relationship with the officials of Lao Mei, so as not to be stumped again.

Everyone has Yanhuang blood, the relationship is not trivial, and the cost of lobbying is spent on their own people, and it is not so uncomfortable if it is not successful.

It's really not good, and she can still make her repay.

Su Changqing first complained to Melulan Dora, his "Moving Labyrinth" was full of positive energy, but it couldn't enter the North American market.

Melulan Dora smiled and enlightened him: "The themes of your two works this year are very good, thinking about humanistic values, and making greater contributions to mankind, I must go to see "Thief Family" after the film festival, welcome?"

Su Changqing doesn't need her enlightenment, that's what she wants.

"Of course welcome, in fact, I've only seen half-finished products with incomplete dubbing, so let's watch them together," and sent an additional invitation: "When I go back, I also invite you to watch "The Undertaker", this film I plan to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, and then I intend to compete for the Oscars." ”

Meluran Dora of course understood what Su Changqing meant, and promised to return to China to watch "The Undertaker".

The principle of the diplomat is not to be in a hurry to express her stance on anything, although she also said that strengthening cultural cooperation between the two countries is a separate job, and she also believes in the quality of director Su's work, but she will not talk about it in depth only when it comes to this step.

It's good to be willing to cooperate, "The Undertaker" has no reason to repeat the mistakes of "Moving Maze", as for whether it can win awards and open the market, it depends on its own strength, as long as you don't label Su Changqing again.

Amsterdam and Berlin are very close, an hour away, and the two made an appointment to watch a movie together the day after the film festival opened.

"The Family of Thieves" does not have many screenings, after all, the Berlinale screens more than 200 films from all over the world in 10 days a year, and the screenings are mainly concentrated in Potsdamer Platz and Berlin Cinema Palace, as well as several surrounding theaters.

However, "Thief Family" is a main unit competition film, and the director and screenwriter are somewhat well-known and may receive more attention, so the number of screenings should be increased accordingly to meet the needs of the audience.

The sun faded into the horizon under the sea of clouds, and the European continent was vast.

Melulan Dora suddenly said to Su Changqing: "You are very special among oriental men, and you have a special charm. ”

"Oh?

Melulan Dora smiled a little ambiguously: "I think so. ”

"Maybe that part of your dragon blood is working?"

Su Changqing was a little helpless, he hadn't soaked in a girl until he was reborn, and he was all a girl soaking him.

In the future, we should beware of the opposite sex taking the initiative to recognize fellow villagers enthusiastically, most of them have other plans.
