After entering the suite ordered by the organizer, Murphy simply looked around, and then helped Gail gado pack. They continued the topic just now.
"Every big city girl has her own pride." Gail gado hung his dress in the closet. "For example, girls in New York always like to laugh at girls in Los Angeles. Girls in Los Angeles will laugh at girls from other smaller cities."
"Regionalism," Murphy said, picking up the shoe box and handing it to Gail gado, "exists everywhere."
"Is there anyone who discriminates against girls in big cities like Shanghai?" Gail gado took the shoe box and put it on the shoe rack under the dress.
Murphy shrugged. "Last time I came here for the premiere, I heard a story about Shanghai girl."
"Oh?" Gail gado was interested. "Tell me."
"There are only two kinds of people in the world who will go after Americans." Murphy put up two fingers, "Shanghai women and Taliban men."
Gail gado couldn't understand this kind of "worshiping foreign countries and fawning on foreign countries" at all. After thinking about it, he asked, "what do you mean? Do Shanghai girls like American men very much? "
"That's about it."
This kind of words explains quite tedious, Murphy simply nodded, continued to help Gail gado carry luggage.
After packing up, they went to the bathroom to have a simple wash. Murphy was lying with Gail gado in her arms, and soon fell asleep.
In the following day, Murphy and Gail gado were jet lagged. Before the event, they went to PDX district to have a look. Although the construction has not really started here, the Shanghai Disneyland, which Walt Disney cooperates with here, has been confirmed. In the face of such a huge investment, the films and related peripheral products of Walt Disney in the future will undoubtedly be better than those of other places Other big Hollywood companies can enter this vast market more quickly and easily.
Even in the future, most of the PG and PG-13 major commercial films of Walt Disney will be released simultaneously in China and the United States.
In these ways, Walt Disney is ahead of all the Hollywood companies.
Compared with Disney's children's films, it will be extremely difficult for his films to enter the market. It can even be said that as long as the basic standard of scissors remains unchanged, it will be difficult for Murphy's films to be shown in theaters here, and the distribution of legitimate DVD and Internet versions will also be restricted.
In fact, most of the films here can only rely on the box office to make profits. The sales of peripheral products can not be ignored, but also very few. This is true for domestic films here and Hollywood films with complete industrial chain in North America and Europe.
"Strictly speaking..."
"In the next five years, or even longer, the market here will be closed for me," Murphy told Gail gado on the bus to the venue of the China US film forum
Gail gado was puzzled. "Honey, why are we here?"
"This is..." Murphy didn't know how to say it for a moment. He couldn't tell the truth. That was too stupid. After hesitating for a while, he said, "it's a very complicated thing."
"Well." Gail gado nodded, but did not ask.
She knows Murphy very well, and has long seen that Murphy has some secrets. No one knows them except himself, but he doesn't say them, and she never asks, who has no secrets in the world?
The car drove into a top university in Shanghai, and then stopped in front of an auditorium that can accommodate hundreds of people. Murphy and Gail gado walked in through the side door. In a lounge, they met people from the United States who participated in the Sino US film forum.
Most of them are not very famous people, with the exception of a fat man.
"Murphy!"
The little fat man saw Murphy and immediately stood up to meet him. "It's great to see you here."
Then he looked at Gail gado. "It's better to see a beautiful miss gado!"
Murphy went over, reached out and shook the little fat man. "Joe, I didn't expect to meet you here."
He didn't know exactly who would attend.
The short fat man shook hands with Murphy, then with Gail gado politely, and then said, "no way, propaganda needs, Cameron is not willing to participate in this kind of activity, only me."
The chubby guy is Jon Landau, the producer of Titanic and avatar, and a longtime collaborator of James Cameron.
Listening to Jon Landau's words, and also cooperating with 20th century fox, Murphy understands that Jon Landau's purpose of participating in this activity is not simple. I'm afraid that a considerable part of it is for the upcoming "Avatar".
After a few words of conversation, someone informed him that a seminar would begin. The Sino US film forum lasted for two weeks. It was impossible for Murphy to stay in the sea for such a long time, so this seminar was the focus of his participation.Led by Murphy and Jon Landau, seven or eight people from American film circles stepped onto the rostrum of the auditorium.
As soon as they came to the stage, there was a sudden silence in the chaotic auditorium, followed by thunderous applause. Murphy and Gail gado sat in the two adjacent seats, looking down. Not only were the seats full of black people, but also there were people standing in the corridor and aisle.
These people's faces look quite young. According to Murphy's guess, most of them should be students from this university.
People from the American film circle sat on the left side of the rostrum, opposite the empty seat, and soon sat on the film people from China.
There are about ten people over there. There are several faces that Murphy is very familiar with, such as Jiang Xiaojun and Feng Daya, who are very recognizable. The others he doesn't know, should be the same as his own. They may be some playwrights.
There was another round of applause in the auditorium, but after these people sat down, Murphy found that there were two seats left on their side.
Gail gado came up and whispered, "there must be some important people who haven't come, right?"
"Well." Murphy nodded.
According to the custom here, there must be another heavyweight who hasn't arrived.
The organizer made sufficient preparations in advance. Although the scene was very warm, the order was always very good.
Then, a man in his sixties came out from the backstage and walked towards the front chair of the row opposite Murphy. This man seemed very unusual. Feng Daya and Jiang Xiaojun met him with a smile. He just nodded his head with no expression and put on a shelf.
Murphy didn't know who he was, and the students didn't know who he was. When the host introduced "welcome to Cheng Baoguang, honorary vice president of the film association, vice president of the Writers Association, famous playwright and Professor," there was almost no applause.
There is always talk about seniority here. Murphy immediately knows that this must be a veteran in the industry and has countless ties with the official.
Cheng Baoguang, a man named Cheng Baoguang, turned to look under the rostrum. He seemed dissatisfied with the sparse applause, and his unhappiness flashed away.
At this moment, the students under the rostrum suddenly stood up, looking quite excited, and even some people were shouting. Cheng Baoguang was just gratified, thinking that these young people had not forgotten him, a famous figure who specialized in writing red movies and works. Who knows, the shouting came up with applause, which made him embarrassed.
"Yan Binbin! Bingbin
Obviously, these shouts and applause are not for Cheng Baoguang.
Cheng Baoguang turns his head and looks back. A fashionable woman has stepped onto the rostrum, constantly turning around and waving around, causing more enthusiastic responses.
Thinking of the coldness when she was on stage, and looking at the current craze, Cheng Baoguang was very shameless, especially as the woman turned around, there was almost no cloth on the back of her skirt, and the naked and exposed snow-white skin made him feel rather dazzling.
At the same time, Cheng Baoguang's proud self-esteem, which has been held by people in the circle, such as Feng Daya and Jiang Xiaojun, is stinging.
When is it that he, as a master, spin, law writer, professor and expert enjoying the national, family and social benefits, can't compare with a female actor?
Cheng Baoguang sat on the chair with a gloomy face.
The atmosphere in the auditorium was high. Someone went over and advised the female star. The female star also knew that the occasion was wrong. She first nodded to the people in Murphy's row with a smile, then went back to make amends with the people in her row, and sat down in the back chair.
It took a long time for the staff and hosts of the organizer to make the enthusiastic audience quiet down.
"She's very charismatic." Gail gado whispered to Murphy.
Murphy nodded. "Well."
Although her works are not popular, she is really on the way to a superstar, which has been criticized by countless people. However, Murphy has been in Hollywood for so many years, and even worse stars have seen her. What she does in Hollywood is nothing at all.
There are also many Hollywood stars like her who are not popular in their works, such as Jessica Alba, Kate Beckinsale, Charlize Theron, Gwyneth Paltrow and so on. They all sound famous, but few of them are really influential. The latter two are better. At least they have won the Oscar, and the former two are well-known here It's better than North America.
After the translation was in place, the discussion finally began.
A bald host with glasses, holding a microphone, stood in the middle of two rows of people. After a long talk, he said, "today we have invited many outstanding film workers from China and the United States to discuss film art together..."
"We're talking about film art, right?"
A slightly old voice interrupted the bald host's words. The host was embarrassed, but seeing Cheng Baoguang standing up, he had to nod and say, "yes, film art.""Good! Since we are talking about film art... " Cheng Baoguang stretched out his hand and pointed to the back of his row, "what qualifications does a performer have to participate in!" (to be continued). )
