Levistan is really not an outsider. Without him, the acquisition imagination is definitely not so smooth.
At this time, Qi Lei and Lao Qin both looked at each other and smiled, feeling that everything was done in silence.
However, Dong Beiguo doesn't know about levistan!
The old man was so anxious, but he was embarrassed to ask, so he had to tease, "this is the only variable. Don't be careless!"
Qi Lei: "
It's hard to say if you're careless. However, this one really doesn't understand China. At most, he pretends to understand it.
To be fair, levistan is really not a straw bag. My brother is very skilled in Western democratic politics.
His attainments in communication are also very deep. It's not too much to say that he is a contemporary master of communication.
However, he really knows a little about Chinese culture and doesn't understand that these are two systems.
In fact, many so-called Western experts in this period are bent on this "half knowledge".
I think I can understand China after reading a little Chinese history and investigating a little Chinese people..
However, it is to apply the system and appearance of the east to the social framework of the West.
They don't understand that the Chinese people's way of thinking is different from them. They think that those differences only come from the rigidity and difference of the system.
Therefore, because of this wrong thinking, these sociological experts, including economists, made a lot of jokes in the process of introducing capital into the Chinese market.
One group after another died.
Until Martin Jacques said the words that awakened the whole world: "China is never just a country, but a civilization disguised as a country!"
Chinese people are very proud of this sentence and are often quoted, but speaking from the bottom of their heart, this sentence brings much more harm than pride.
Before that, even if the western world regarded us as opponents, it was out of geopolitical considerations and never regarded us as opponents at the cultural level.
Before that, they believed that western democracy was much more advanced than ours, and the culture was much better than ours.
The vast majority of the right to define modern science is firmly in the hands of western culture.
After this sentence, the western world, including the United States, woke up and began to face up to this eastern opponent.
……
Human civilization advances on two feet, one is "science and technology" and the other is "governing people".
Many people believe that the development of science and technology is the progress of human civilization, but it is not.
The first purpose of human development of science and Technology... Is destruction!
Most of the inspiration of science and technology comes from war; The first application of most science and technology is also war.
If the atomic bomb is in the hands of monkeys, the civilization of monkeys will not last more than ten minutes.
Therefore, science and technology is very important, but science and technology is only one leg supporting human civilization.
The other leg is to suppress human inner desire and evil.
All morality, law, social system, religion, humanities and social sciences are directed to governing people.
The atomic bomb is a product of science, but the buttons have to be controlled by people.
Westerners found that throughout modern history, they undoubtedly crushed the East on the leg of science and technology.
But on the other leg, the accumulated experience of the East in governing people and the world is two thousand years ahead of them.
Of course, it's a little far away. Anyway, levistan is quite resourceful.
And the last time I lost was not clear. Levistan was unconvinced in his heart.
He believed that it was too early for Liu Ji to surrender to him last time. If he was given time, it would be sooner or later.
Therefore, this time Desheng shot, levistan volunteered to compete with this little fart boy in the East.
On the same night, levistan met President Wang and President Wang of Huayi.
After a detailed discussion, I learned about the situation of today's meeting and immediately fell into meditation.
[halo effect], [culture shock]?
These are two different things!
What exactly does Qi Lei mean by putting forward this thing?
Well, in addition to Lao Wang of Beiying film factory and Zheng Lao of Bayi film factory, no one knows why they put forward two communication theories at a seminar in the film industry.
The king always saw him thinking, "why? Mr. levistan has no clue?"
"This..."
Levistan, an old Jew, was embarrassed when he couldn't come up, right?
"Don't worry, I'll go back and analyze it carefully and give you an answer tomorrow!"
So old Levi went back to the hotel and ordered
Half a duck!
After thinking about it all night, it probably fits Qi Lei's intention.
The only difference is [cultural shock]. Qi Lei said that young people are shocked by local culture at present. Lao Levi understood that Qi Lei wanted to achieve cultural defense by introducing Hong Kong entertainment, so as to make Chinese young people have a shock effect on Western culture.
After analyzing these, old Levi was so excited that he almost ordered another half duck.
"This is an ideological confrontation!"
Immediately call manager Wen, "Wen!! we stumbled into a seminar on ideology at the top of China."
Manager Wen of Desheng's first reaction was disbelief.
What's the matter with the plane? It's such an important meeting that we won't agree to be consultants.
Besides, even if it's a mistake, it's useless?
Desheng is engaged in finance. Desheng is interested in the competition in the film industry. They are interested in all profitable businesses, but there is no entry point.
Besides, the mainland film market is still budding, and there is no oil and water.
As for cultural collision, I'm not interested.
Desheng is capital, milk is mother! Only when you fight, can they find more opportunities and earn more profits.
"Wen, you don't understand what I mean!" Old Levi was excited.
Manager Wen frowned and finally realized that old Levi must have his own ideas.
"You go on."
Levistan: "this news is really of no value to Desheng."
"But have you ever thought that for those politicians in Washington, D.C., this news is priceless!"
Manager Wen said, "you mean..."
Levistan said excitedly, "don't you understand?
"This news will sell at a good price!"
"And you can sell it twice!"
Manager Wen suddenly realized, "I see what you mean. Wait for me!"
……
——————
Levistan's meaning is obvious. This news is of no value to Desheng, but it is priceless to Washington.
As a financial institution, Desheng has close ties with some politicians in Washington. It is easy to exchange this news for some resources.
This is the first benefit.
The second one is more interesting.
If Washington knows that the East is discussing introducing the mature Hong Kong film industry into the mainland in order to fight for culture, they certainly have to find ways to deal with it.
The best way to deal with it is to prevent it from happening!
So the problem is, how to stop it?
Someone else is already in a meeting to discuss it. Maybe there will be results at the meeting.
At this time, it is too late to use other means of intervention.
At this time, the only one who can exert force is levistan.
With Desheng's public relations ability, we can certainly convince Washington to give levistan some resources and even privileges he can use.
For example, we can temporarily negotiate some cooperation issues on behalf of the major Hollywood film companies.
Otherwise, there's no way.
If you want to stir up the cooperation between the mainland and the Hong Kong film industry, you must at least provide a more attractive partner. Otherwise, with Leviathan's three inch tongue, why should people believe you?
Only Hollywood has all the technologies and industrial models needed by the mainland film industry, and Hollywood is more mature and better than Hong Kong films.
The next morning, the king always came to Beiguang beimenwai early, waiting to meet levistan and go to the meeting together.
However, to his surprise, Leviathan came, but didn't get off.
"Mr. Wang, get in the car and talk!"
The king was stunned, "the time is coming."
Levistan, "Mr. Wang, you can't go in now. Trust me!"
Mr. Wang: "
Looking back at Beiguang, I finally got on levistan's car.
The two returned to levistan's hotel.
When entering the room, the king always looked puzzled, "what's the matter? Why don't you go to the meeting?"
Levistan, "well, last night I analyzed that Mr. Qi mentioned two theories. I think it's a very dangerous signal."
The king always frowned, "what? Did you guess his intention?"
Old Levi nodded, "yes!"
"If you're right, Mr. Qi wants to replace mainland entertainment with Hong Kong entertainment industry."
"He should have reached some kind of agreement with those entertainment companies in Hong Kong."
The king always said, "what do you say?"
Old Levi, "the so-called halo effect is to cover up other bad features with one feature."
"At present, the biggest and most remarkable feature of Chinese entertainment is Hong Kong!"
"He should want to use Hong Kong entertainment to directly cover up the entertainment characteristics of the mainland, so as to quickly improve his popularity in the world and become the overlord of the entertainment industry in Asia!"
Mr. Wang, "..."
Well, it's totally different from what he analyzed after eating half a duck last night. It's just fooling the king.
However, it is you who deceive. You don't know communication!
Old Levi continued, "and cultural shock is even simpler."
"The entertainment industry in Hong Kong is very different from that in your mainland, which is equivalent to the collision of two entertainment cultures."
"When mainland audiences begin to feel uncomfortable with local entertainment, you have no living space."
Wang always: "!"
Everyone was stupid and stared at old Levi. Is that what happened? Is it scary?
Five fingers into a fist, heavy hammer in the palm, "this Qi Lei, so cruel!"
Levistan saw that he reacted so fiercely and made progress by retreating. "This is the case. This is a matter within your Chinese industry. I..."
The king always listens. What do you mean? Want to withdraw?
"Mr. levistan, you are the consultant we invited back. You need help at this time!"
Old Levi, let me help, then help!
However, he was embarrassed. "Mr. Qi is not unmanageable."
The king always said, "only you can deal with him!"
Old leviden waved his hand. "It's hard for me, too."
He immediately added, "it's not that he is inferior to him in public relations ability. It's mainly that your seminar is officially held. He dares to raise such a question at the meeting, which shows that he has more or less received some official support, which makes it difficult for me to do."
Mr. Wang said, "you are a public relations expert. You must have a way, right?"
Old Levi, "there's a way... There's a way!"
The king always listened, his eyes shining, "you say!"
Old Levi, "in terms of communication, the current situation is called bipolar dialogue."
Well, I began to hang the book bag. I was stunned by the king.
After walking around for a long time, I cut into the theme, "I judge that China's official intention is to develop the cultural industry. In fact, it is different from Mr. Qi's pure desire to monopolize the industry and make a lot of money."
"Therefore, the problem you want to solve now is not Mr. Qi, but the Chinese official!"
The king only nodded, "tut Tut, you have to be an expert. Analyzing problems is much more thorough than us!"
Old Levi smiled and said nothing.
But I said in my heart, a fool like you, I can handle ten a day.
"Then the problem comes. To deal with Chinese officials, there are two directions to be carried out simultaneously."
"You speak."
"First, President Wang should seek dialogue with the authorities."
"What do you mean?"
"President Wang wants to launch some relations, at least let the official directly hear the voice of your businessmen."
"What about the second?"
"Second, Hong Kong's entertainment industry still has merits after all, which should be the fundamental reason why the government is willing to let Mr. Qi facilitate this. So..."
"So what?"
”Therefore, if you want the government to give up Hong Kong, you must find a substitute! “
"Alternatives?"
"Yes! A substitute equivalent to or even more attractive to Hong Kong's industry. Otherwise, why should the government give up Hong Kong?"
When levistan said this, he finally tried to show, "Hollywood's film industry is the only choice!"
Mr. Wang: "
He looked at old Levi for a long time. "Are you kidding me?"
Old Levi was stunned. "What does president Wang mean by this?"
I saw the king's eyes staring, "driven away from Hong Kong, another Hollywood? How do you let us live?"
"Mr. levistan, please put your position right! You are my adviser and want to consider my interests."
Old Levi listened and said in his heart, it's OK. It's not stupid!
Quickly waved his hand, "Mr. Wang misunderstood. How can I harm your interests? Let me analyze it for you!"
As he spoke, levistan politely let the king sit down.
"First of all, what the Chinese authorities need is not the film companies in Hong Kong, but their experience."
"So what we want to introduce is also the experience of Hollywood."
"Last night, I have contacted friends from several major Hollywood companies such as universal and Columbia. They are willing to increase the appearance rate of some Chinese American stars in future shooting."
"For example, Mr. Wang, isn't there several popular actors in your company? I can recommend you to Hollywood and appear in international blockbusters."
When President Wang ascended, his eyes brightened, "really!?"
Levistan, "really!"
But President Wang immediately glanced, "just a few stars. What's the difference between this and a bad check, unless..."
Wang always pondered. Levistan knew he was going to make conditions.
The man was stupid, but he was a little clever. He simply said, "if Wang has any conditions, just mention it!"
The king always listened, "unless you can open some cinemas, you can let our films log in North America!"
"This..."
'you have a big appetite and you hit the point at once,' levistan said.
Pondering, "it's OK to open a branch line, but you know, the cinema line still depends on the commercial ability. At present, the resources in President Wang's hand may not have the strength to land in North America."
Mr. Wang said, "as long as you are willing to open up, I have no problem shooting now. But if you want to sign it in the contract, you can't give me a bad check!"
Levistan pondered. To tell the truth, after Desheng communicated with Washington, the conclusion was: in any case, China should not complete the integration of the film industry.
So he was given a lot of cards, including one about the cinema.
However, the most attractive one is the cinema line, which is always choked by the king.
Give it to him?
Glancing at the king, give it to him!!
He doesn't think Huayi has the ability to make good films landing in North America, which is out of absolute confidence in western culture.
However, Levi was not a fool after all. He kept a mind, "yes! But... It still depends on the box office."
"We can give you a certain amount of film arrangement. If the box office is not ideal, the film arrangement rate must not be high."
The king always listens, "no problem!"
As soon as Levi saw that he had reached an agreement and was about to make a conclusion, the king always said, "Mr. levistan, do you see Oscar...?"
Old Levi:????
Do you still have conditions?
Mr. Wang said, "you don't know that the status of the Academy Awards in the hearts of the Chinese people is very high. If a Chinese film can win the best foreign language film, it will be of great benefit to the status of Hollywood in China!"
"So, you see... Can you help us operate it?"
Levistan thought, you are really greedy!
However, small problems.
Oscar is not a problem compared with the level of cultural struggle.
"You can think of a way!"
The king always stood up, "really!?"
I'm so excited.
If his film can win an Oscar, won't Hua Yi take off?
Levistan looked at his gaffe and said in his heart, it's just a small Oscar foreign language film. It makes you excited.
But it's the same sentence, "do you have any films that can land at the Oscars?"
At least about the same? Otherwise, how it works is useless.
Mr. Wang: "I can shoot now!"
Well, old Levi took it too. Why is he so addicted?
The heart said, I promised you two conditions. Is there no problem this time?
As a result, the king always fully interpreted what "greed" incisively and vividly.
"Well, can you persuade Hollywood to move some of its behind the scenes work to China?"
"What!?" Levistan was surprised.
Can you make such a request? Crazy?
The king always knew that the request was a little excessive and hurriedly explained, "don't get me wrong, I don't want it for myself!"
"I am the most contented person and know the truth of greedy snake swallowing elephant!"
But old Levi didn't understand, "what snake and elephant?"
Mr. Wang, "Chinese proverb means that people can't be too greedy."
"I want it for my colleagues!"
"It's useless for you to promise me so many conditions! If you don't give Chinese experts some benefits, how can they support Hollywood to come in?"
"You say so?"
Levistan nodded subconsciously, right!
But his face was bitter, "but this requirement is really too much. The behind the scenes work in Hollywood is quite professional, and you can't be competent!"
Mr. Wang: "don't worry, I know we have some shortcomings, which I have considered for you. But in some jobs, we have advantages over Hollywood."
"What?"
Mr. Wang, "action design and action guidance!"
Levistan was stunned. "Action design?"
Mr. Wang said, "yes!! that's right. I'm going to cooperate with several companies to open a company specializing in action design and action special effects."
"It's mainly about action effects and martial arts design for action blockbusters at home and abroad."
"You have to believe that Hollywood is definitely not as professional as us in this regard. Several major film companies can outsource action effects to us."
"At that time, we will establish a professional shooting site and invite the best international Wuti and Wuzhi to be a part of the Hollywood film industry!"
"It can not only reduce the cost, but also improve the quality of action drama. What do you think?"
Levistan thought it sounded good.
But I didn't promise directly.
He played a trick again. "You can try! I can find one or two Hollywood films and show you the effect."
One or two films have little impact, and they fall down after shooting. When current affairs are finished, who will use your action effects?
The king always listens, "great!"
Levistan suddenly patted the table, "that's it!"
Maybe not. He's afraid the shameless man will ask for anything else.
But unexpectedly, the king was always happy, "just do as Mr. levistan said!"
Breaking his fingers to Leviathan, "first, Chinese film stars landed in Hollywood and added parts!"
"Wait a minute!"
Old Levi didn't like it when he came up.
"Is there this one? It's not just cinemas, Oscars and action special effects. Are these three conditions? Why is there another Chinese film star?"
"Yes!"
The king always looked at levistan in a daze, "that's what you said first, forget?"
"I..."
"OK!!"
As soon as old Levi gritted his teeth, there was no difference.
When he said yes, the king always called it a comfort.
"Tell me what to do next? I'll listen to you!"
Levistan said, "first contact the private film companies in China. Don't look for those film studios. They won't be one with us."
The king always said, "you're right! You're right! And then?"
Levistan said, "in terms of communication, I will confront Mr. Qi. You don't have to worry."
"As long as you convince the authorities, there will be no problem if the seminar is more controversial."
The king always said, "more controversial?"
"Yes!"
The king always said, "just make it bigger and make it more chaotic?"
Old Levi: "the bigger the better! The more chaotic the better!"
The king always said, "when it comes to making a big deal, I have an idea."
Levi glanced at him sideways. What's your idea?
Mr. Wang said, "since all foreign consultants have been invited in, why not invite our colleagues in Hong Kong?"
Levistan: "
Those Hong Kong filmmakers are eager to come to the meeting and enter the mainland. Do you invite them?
Mr. Wang, "you don't understand. It's called attracting snakes out of the cave in China!"
Old Levi, "what do you mean?"
Mr. Wang said, "well, the current situation of the seminar is that, hosted by Qi Lei, the film studios have little willingness to oppose because of their official background."
"In addition, the Qi stone itself represents the official, and the major film studios come to a worse end."
"To put it bluntly, although Qi Lei is speaking on behalf of Hong Kong films, his foundation is too stable and everyone has concerns."
"But Hong Kong counterparts are different. They have no foundation in the mainland and film studios have no scruples about them."
"If they appear at the seminar, it will not only intensify the contradiction, but also because Qi Lei's identity is difficult to say and express, he can also show it to his peers in Hong Kong without scruples."
"As long as they dare to come, the film studio will come to an end! At that time, the film studio, private enterprises and Hong Kong counterparts will have a scuffle. If Qi Lei has the ability, he will not be able to return to heaven!"
Levistan: "
Don't mention it. I learned a move. It's good!
It's nice to have finished a public relations task and learn something!
The Chinese scheme is very interesting.
……
————————
The two conspired in the hotel all morning.
At noon, the king always left and agreed to see you in Beiguang in the afternoon.
But manager Wen came again, "how was the conversation?"
Old Levi looked good for a while. "On the whole, it's still very smooth."
Talk about the conditions that the king has always offered.
Wen Jing thought, "it's really acceptable! He thought that the king would always put forward some requirements such as cooperating in film making and taking a stake in a Hollywood company."
That's all. It's OK.
But his eyebrows still don't show, "these are the second. Our first task is to defeat Qi Lei! We should gradually crack down on his industry and make it give up Desheng Gaohua's shares."
Levistan smiled, "don't worry, Mr. Wen! There is an old Chinese saying that rice should be eaten one mouthful at a time."
Manager Wen, "is there such a sentence?"
Levistan, "aren't you Chinese? Don't you know?"
Manager Wen smiled, "my father left here 20 years ago. I'm of rice nationality."
"Oh."
Levistan nodded. "In short, I don't think this Mr. Qi is terrible. He may be a commercial genius, but from the strategic level, he is a layman after all, and Desheng is a master of strategy!"
"In terms of strategic vision, he can never compare with us."
Well, fortunately, the door was closed, the two said.

Stay up all night and try to finish this paragraph.
Don't wait. It doesn't have to be. We'll see it tomorrow morning.
