What was true fame?

The true eminence was not the place where you sat at the core of the crowd, nor was it the place where you wore the most expensive clothes and wore the most exquisite jewelry. The real eminence was when you sat at the edge of the crowd even though you wore ordinary clothes.

Xu Taiping was only thirty years old. It was said that the people of Jiang Yuan City knew about him, and it hadn't been half a year since then.

What kind of effort would an ordinary person have to put in in order to be able to go from being known to becoming famous in less than half a year?

While chatting with Guo Yunpeng, Xu Taiping greeted the people from the upper echelons that he couldn't even identify.

From sitting down until now, Xu Taiping had received at least ten business cards. They were all the bosses of various companies, powerful people in all walks of life.

As long as someone gave a name card to him, Xu Taiping would accept it with a smile. However, Xu Taiping only accepted the name card and did not give the name card because Xu Taiping did not have the habit of printing his name cards. Everyone would write down their own impressive things on the name card. Blood Wolf? The world's strongest assassin? Or Xu Taiping, head of security? Or could it be Xu Taiping, the big brother of Jiang Yuan city?

These were not easy to write. Other than this, there seemed to be something else that was incomparably handsome, something that happened seven or eight times a night. Although Xu Taiping possessed all of these, but if it was written on a name card, it wouldn't seem very steady.

Soon, all the participants had entered the auction venue.

There were at least a thousand people in the hall. Directly in front of them was a stage, where the items were being auctioned tonight.

"Boss Xu, look over there, Martin!" Guo Yunpeng suddenly pointed to an entrance at the side.

Xu Taiping turned around and saw Martin and his sister walk in through the entrance and take a seat in the middle of the first row.

"Your seats are still not set yet!" Xu Taiping asked.

"Martin is a world-renowned collector who often participates in various auctions. Adding on his identity as a director, he naturally wouldn't be able to get close to me." Guo Yunpeng explained.

"So that's how it is!" Xu Taiping realized and said, "If we find a director in the country, can we beat this Martin?"

"Difficult." Guo Yunpeng pondered for a moment before replying.

"Why? Is our talent not as good as theirs? " Xu Taiping asked.

"It's not like that. There are many famous directors in China, and even international directors, but because of the differences between China and the social systems and histories of the western countries, the films we produce can be considered to be very well sold at home. Even if we take out foreign films, it would be difficult to gain recognition." Guo Yunpeng said.

"It seems like no matter how interesting your explanation of our crosstalk is, only Chinese people can understand many of it. No matter how well the foreigners learn, they might not be able to understand it. Is that what you mean?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Yes, that's what I mean, but the situation has improved a bit in recent years, after all we had a few decades ago, we were directors that shook the world, although we were unable to receive any of them, but with China exporting to the whole world, the recognition level of Chinese movies in the Western world is also increasing, but if you really want to compare China's top directors with the top directors in the Western world, there is no point in doing so, our investment of a few billion is already incredible, they are even investing a few hundred million dollars, that's just a normal investment." Putting all these aside, the production teams abroad are also stronger at home and abroad. " Guo Yunpeng said.

"Isn't there any place in the country that is overpowered by foreign powers?" Xu Taiping asked in dissatisfaction. As a person, he still had some nationalistic thoughts. He couldn't afford to see strong Chinese people everywhere in other countries.

"Of course there is. The depth of some domestic films are beyond the ability of foreign countries, and it is also the same for those that have a solid foundation. Of course, in terms of actors, there are many foreign actors who are dedicated to their work. The key point is that it is cheap." Guo Yunpeng said.

"How long has it been since a Chinese movie got an Oscar?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Thirty years. Since the death of Director Zhang, no Chinese director has been able to get an Oscar." Guo Yunpeng said.

"Then let's make a movie that can beat Oscar this time!" Xu Taiping said seriously.

"To make a movie with Oscar? This is almost impossible. " Guo Yunpeng shook his head.

"Why?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Ever since Director Zhang died, the talented directors of our country, such as Director Zhang, have disappeared. With the current level of first-rate directors, there is still a gap between us and the first-rate directors abroad, moreover, the Western countries are still on guard against our export, our movies and music can be sold to their countries, but to win the prize is very difficult, because as long as you win the award, it means that the Western countries recognize you, it will cause more people to accept our China's transformation!" Even if our movie was made at Oscar level, it would never win an Oscar. " Guo Yunpeng said.

"Then why is that Zhang * * ing available?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Because he is a genius, whether it is artistic or entertaining, his movies are all top-notch and rich in depth, every movie has a milestone in the history of Chinese movies, he can be considered in the western countries, his movies can also get a lot of recognition, and right now, of the top ten movies in the IMBD movie rankings, four are all his. He has the Oscar, which is what everyone wants, and who doesn't want to give him that. That's why he was able to win so many Academy Awards while he was still alive." Guo Yunpeng explained.

"So that's how it is, I still want to do it!" Xu Taiping said.

Guo Yunpeng held his forehead helplessly and said, "If you really want to do it, then you'll have to do it in an art or a movie. When the time comes, you'll have to go to the Mi Kingdom and build relationships. That way, you can get the best prize for a foreign language film."

"I want the Best Picture Award!" Xu Taiping said.

"That's impossible." Guo Yunpeng firmly shook his head.

"That's also possible!" Xu Taiping said seriously.

"Impossible, really, Boss Xu, this isn't a joke." Guo Yunpeng said.

"As long as you can get it, how much will you need? How much will I give you?" Xu Taiping said.

"This is not something that can be solved with money." Guo Yunpeng said.

"Money can't solve movies, but money can solve directors and Oscar reviews." Xu Taiping smiled and said, "I don't think that this world's money is omnipotent, but in many cases, money can solve a lot of problems. The key lies in how you use it, you claim that it's worth tens of billions of dollars to make movies, but don't you want to prove your artistic taste?" I think if you can win an Oscar for the best film, you will become the number one producer in the country in the last 30 years! "

Guo Yunpeng swallowed hard. He admitted that he was moved by Xu Taiping's words.

His films had produced tens of billions of dollars at the box office, and in a way he was successful, but he was also unsuccessful in that he had made films that didn't win any of the Best Picture Awards, both nationally and internationally.

Therefore, behind Guo Yunpeng's nickname of "Ten billion Producer", there was actually some hidden meaning of ridicule. Many people said that Guo Yunpeng only knew how to make money and didn't have the slightest bit of artistic taste.

He was just like a noob in the novels of Luo. He was selling very well, but he did not have any depth, nor any sense of beauty.

Guo Yunpeng definitely wouldn't admit that he had no artistic aesthetic sense, just like how he felt that there was a deep aesthetic depth to the label. It was just that people were used to labelling him with such labels, and these labels were often unfair to him.

His films were all good at the box office, but once they won a prize, the first round would be written off. This was the effect of the label, because for many film critics, having a good box office meant that you were a commercial fast food movie. What was the aesthetic quality of a movie like this?

When one person looked at another with colored eyes, the other person would be greatly reduced in whatever they did.

Guo Yunpeng wanted to prove himself very much, but in the country, his label was too big. And now, Xu Taiping's words had suddenly given Guo Yunpeng another path.

Since everyone in the country had given him a label, why didn't he take the foreign route?

There were not many people abroad who knew about him, so there was naturally no label to describe him. Xu Taiping was rich and well-connected. If he operated his technique well, he might really be able to come up with a movie that could win an Oscar.

Even if this movie only received the award of the best foreign language film, that would be enough for him, Guo Yunpeng, to go back to China and prove himself. That would be enough for him, Guo Yunpeng, to tear himself apart!

"About this, I'll do it properly!" Guo Yunpeng pondered for a moment before nodding and saying. Actually, he didn't even dare to think about the best movie, Guo Yunpeng thought. As long as he could win an Oscar, then whatever was fine!

"That's right. Humans must have dreams. Otherwise, what's the difference between them and salted fish?" Xu Taiping laughed.

Guo Yunpeng smiled and nodded.

At this moment, all the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed.

Soon after, beams of light gathered together and shone on the center of the stage.

An elevator slowly rose from the bottom of the stage.

On the lift, the host stood at the center with a microphone in his hand. When the lift reached the top and stopped, the host said in a calm and forceful voice, "Honored guests, welcome to our Mercedes-Benz and participate in this auction organized by our Qiusi Auction House. I believe you have been waiting for a long time, so I won't say much.
