"Director Chen, do you know how many Oscars are held every year? How many Oscars are this year?" boss Jia asked suddenly.
"...." director Chen looked at boss Jia like an idiot, and looked disdainful to answer.
"Answer me!" boss Jia was furious. Director Chen was startled and said angrily, "isn't that nonsense? Of course, it's once a year. This year is the 66th Academy Award!"
"That's right!" boss Jia smiled. "There is an Oscar every year. Now it's the 66th Oscar. In other words, 66 films have won the term Oscar for best foreign language film."
"But the best foreign language film award is not the biggest Oscar Award. The biggest Oscar award is actually the Oscar best film award. So far, 66 films have won awards!"
"This adds up to a total of 132 films. Farewell my concubine is just one of these 132 films. Do you really think how great farewell my concubine is?"
"You... You..." director Chen's face turned red. He looked at boss Jia and took a few breaths before he said, "I'm not trying to prove how powerful I am, but farewell my concubine is really the first film to win an Oscar in China. He is the best film in China!"
"No, in my mind, the best film made in China is actually the" showdown "series. Your" Farewell My Concubine "is just something between men and women. It's not worth mentioning compared with" showdown! "Boss Jia waved.
"That kind of thing, too?" director Chen Da showed contempt.
"This is just my personal opinion. Can't there be any personal opinion in art?" boss Jia smiled and said, "director Chen, I think you're very tired. Go back and have a rest!"
"I won't go. Today we two have to make things clear!" director Chen Da was really anxious. He suddenly found that Jia Yapeng in front of him didn't seem to be the same as him. There was a huge gap between them.
"What do you want to make clear?" boss Jia asked faintly.
"It's the matter of audit. You must support me! No one is allowed to stab him!" director Chen said loudly. "It doesn't matter if you don't dare to step forward, boss Jia. I just need you to keep silent. I naturally have a way to let them pass the audit!"
Director Chen Da was right. In his previous life, farewell my concubine had not won an Oscar, but after winning a series of international awards, in the face of director Chen Da's insistence on not cutting a knife, the relevant departments finally agreed.
It just puts forward the requirement that we can't do any promotion and publicity, and can't participate in any award selection in China.
It can be said that the relevant departments that can force them to finally make such a decision, director Chen Da and farewell my concubine are still very arrogant.
Now that farewell my concubine has won an Oscar that has not been won in previous lives, it is naturally more different. Therefore, boss Jia believes that director Chen Da can succeed in the end.
But is that really good?
Boss Jia couldn't help recalling something that happened when he was with Natasha in the United States.
It was the time to attend the premiere ceremony. As her own female partner, Natasha naturally participated in the premiere ceremony of the film all the way. However, after the screening, Natasha instinctively sighed, "it turns out that you Chinese still live in such a hot and troubled day without freedom!"
At that time, boss Jia felt as uncomfortable as a thorn in his heart, but he soon forgot.
Now think of it, can such films really show the real China to the world?
Isn't this equivalent to handing the world a knife that hurts China?
In addition, the films that can win awards at home and abroad, without exception, have some so-called taste of revealing the truth.
However, in this so-called disclosure of the truth, boss Jia can also shoot the American version from thousands of angles.
Thinking of this, boss Jia has a feeling that he has made a huge mistake.
"You can't do such a thing again in the future. If you want to learn Hollywood, America will always be a great hero to save the world!" in the dialogue with Director Chen, boss Jia gradually poured out a clear and clear idea.
So boss Jia stood up and said, "don't worry about the movie. I'll negotiate with the relevant departments!"
"Really?" director Chen Da looked at boss Jia suspiciously, and then looked a lot better. "In that case, we have nothing to argue about. Boss Jia, you are also kind to me. I am preparing to make a film called wind and moon, and everything is already in preparation."
"I can give Daqian 30% of the investment amount for this film, about 20 million. Don't think it's less. I've left you as much share as possible in our relationship. Many people want to invest 10% with 10 million. I don't agree because there are too many people who want to invest. I can't help selling everyone's face..." Director Chen Da talked endlessly, while boss Jia couldn't understand that this was director Chen Da's good intention. He just said faintly, "since so many people want to sell face, I'll forget it. There's no need to find me for this investment."
"You really don't want this rare investment opportunity?" director Chen Da was shocked. He thought boss Jia would immediately invest in himself with gratitude. Unexpectedly, Jia Yapeng refused. Does he know how many people want to invest in his new film directed by Chen Da?
This is a sure bet!
"I have two films invested by myself to be released. I'm not in the mood to take care of other films. Director Chen, please help yourself!" said boss Jia.
"Just a sunken ship, an animation?" director Chen couldn't help laughing as if he heard the two funniest jokes, and then said, "in that case, I won't force it. In the future, we two will have a chance to cooperate again!"
Director Chen Da is true. There are a lot of investors behind his ass who want to throw money. He is no longer the person who almost knelt down to beg boss Jia for investment, so he has no more advice.
"Hmm!" boss Jia snorted softly. He didn't know whether to agree or refuse.
So the two separated.
The next day, boss Jia went to Uncle Zhou's office and met uncle Zhou.
"Xiao Jia, I came to you today because I wanted to talk to you about something!" Uncle Zhou sighed. "I heard," Farewell My Concubine " This film is invested by you. You are the producer and investor of this film. As you know, some things in this film have been making a lot of trouble recently, and we are under great pressure. Director Chen is unwilling to use the knife, but some public opinion is out of control, so I hope you can help us and persuade director Chen to make some changes ……?”
I can hear that Chen Dadiao is also under great pressure, but Uncle Zhou is also under considerable pressure. Both sides are under pressure.
In history, it seems that uncle Zhou failed and couldn't bear the pressure. Finally, he had to nod and agree.
"OK!" to Uncle Zhou's surprise, boss Jia simply agreed.
"Did you promise to persuade the director Chen?" Uncle Zhou was immediately happy.
"No!" boss Jia shook his head, and uncle Zhou's face turned black again.
"I mean, the great director Chen doesn't have to persuade," Farewell My Concubine "is directly revised. In the end, Chen Dieyi is rescued by ZF, and then the two live an ordinary life. Until now, in society, they are still alive in their 70s and 80s, and enjoy a happy old age in the nursing home!" said boss Jia.
"That's great!" Uncle Zhou laughed with satisfaction as soon as he heard it, but after laughing, he wondered, "Xiao Jia, aren't you coaxing uncle to play? Do you really have the ability to persuade director Chen Da to change so?"
"As I said, he has no need to persuade, because I am the producer and producer of the film. I have the final editing right and distribution right of the film. As long as I decide to make changes, I can change it directly. It has nothing to do with Director Chen Da. He can't change anything, because I am the master of the film!" said boss Jia.
"That's great! Xiao Jia, come to my house for dinner today, and I'll ask your aunt to fry some good dishes for you!" Uncle Zhou laughed and loved boss Jia more this time.
