Compared with Fang Zhe's low profile, Marilyn's trip to China was extremely high-profile, for fear that others would not know about it.
Before arriving, I sent a fax to China Film, expressing Summit Pictures’ optimism about the potential of the Chinese market and proposing the incubation park plan.
To be honest, in this era, China is really looking up to the United States. Especially in the film, television, culture and entertainment circles, they have always been proud of being recognized by the West. If a director wins the Palme d'Or once, he will be considered a "great director" for the rest of his life.
"I have no worries about food and drink on my credit list. If I can win an Oscar, I will be at the pinnacle of my life."
Relevant domestic departments attach great importance to Marilyn's trip to China. All departments mobilized urgently and prepared to warmly receive the CEO of Pinnacle Pictures. It is not difficult to find information about Pinnacle Pictures. Although it is not one of the top six in Hollywood, it is
As a rising star, he is definitely a group of dark horses who can never be more dark. The total box office may not be the highest, but the profit margin is definitely the best.
In order to come to China, Marilyn made full preparations and brought a team of six people to China.
Wearing a windbreaker, sunglasses, big waves, and a whole entourage behind her, she is full of momentum.
This was the impression Marilyn made when she walked out of the airport.
The Imperial Capital also attaches great importance to it. Department officials and the boss of China Film and Television Leng came to the airport to greet him, but they couldn't do it, otherwise they could have a car drive to the airport to pick him up. After all, it's not the Big Six, so it feels like it's almost meaningless.
China Film Group still has a banner hanging at the exit.
When Marilyn stepped forward to speak, her attitude was fully prepared, neither arrogant nor reserved.
After the meeting, Mr. Leng asked Marilyn to get in the car. Unexpectedly, she stood still and looked around, as if she was looking for something?
A call came in. Marilyn looked at the number, apologized, and walked away to answer it.
"I see you, don't look around, don't neglect the big guys who are coming to greet you. Keep your posture low and leave enough goodwill so that you can make money in the future. This is different from the United States. Of course, interests are important, but friendship is more important.
important."
After talking on the phone, she hung up. Marilyn put away the phone and smiled. She knew that Fang Zhe was coming, but she just didn't show up.
"Sorry for the long wait." Marilyn took the initiative to speak with a smile. When Mr. Leng and others walked forward together, Marilyn controlled her position very well. She never meant to get ahead and kept parallel.
Due to jet lag, there was a dinner party after checking into the hotel. Although Marilyn was exhausted, she took a hot bath first and attended the dinner looking very energetic. The venue was in the hotel's Chinese restaurant downstairs.
It seems that I won't see Boss today. These officials are so annoying. They have to hold a welcome dinner and there is no way to rest. If Boss hadn't told me to lower my posture, I wouldn't have attended this shit.
Dinner.
Don't let Boss know what you are thinking. Even if you are impatient in your heart, you should keep a calm face.
Marilyn was thinking in her mind that she was going out. All her subordinates at the door were waiting to go downstairs together. Marilyn, who was walking in the front, instantly regained her momentum as a female president. The two headlights held her head high and her chest high, and the two headlights were under the influence of gravity.
There are obvious fluctuations in the lower amplitude.
The next moment, Marilyn suddenly stopped, with a smile on her face, and she swayed forward in small steps: "Boss! I miss you so much." Fang Zhe pretended not to hear her words, and pointed to the people around him and said: "
Ms. Jian Fanghua, Summit Pictures’ partner in China.”
"Hello!" the two women said in unison, reaching out to shake their hands at the same time, exchanging probing glances at each other.
Both of them seemed normal, but in fact Marilyn knew very well that the woman in front of her had the upper hand. The reason why she came to China was because of the woman in front of her, otherwise Boss would not have spent 10 million to do this.
What is the incubator plan?
"Now that we know each other, let's go down together." When Fang Zhe turned around, both of his hands were held.
"Don't hold hands when we get to the restaurant. I don't want to be the target of public criticism." Fang Zhe sighed helplessly, which was very hateful.
At the door of the restaurant on the second floor, Leng Shan was waiting with his entourage. The secretary beside him whispered: "Mr. Leng, you'd better go in and wait. I will be responsible for leading people in when they arrive."
Leng Shan looked at him indifferently: "The leaders above attach great importance to this reception task."
How do you say this? People of their generation are a bit superstitious about everything in the United States. Of course, as time goes by, trust in the United States is gradually declining. This decline began to accelerate after joining the WTO.
, until the subprime mortgage crisis, and then an epidemic.
The two crises fully exposed the weakness and incompetence of the United States.
Now, as one of the leaders of Chinese films, Leng Shan naturally takes the olive branch extended by Peak Films very seriously, and the leaders above also mean the same thing. How should I put it, at this point in time, China’s response to
Midi still has illusions. It's not time to give up his illusions and prepare for struggle.
Looking at Leng Shan at the elevator door, he was thinking about something. Intelligence showed that the largest shareholder of Summit Pictures was a Chinese. He was not familiar with this person, but he only knew some information that could be easily found.
When the elevator door opened, Fang Zhe was the first to walk out. Leng Shan did not recognize him and thought he was not the one waiting for him. Unexpectedly, Marilyn followed him out soon after, and when walking forward, he always seemed to be half a step behind Fang Zhe.
"Hello, Mr. Leng, I am Fang Zhe, Fang from Sifang, Zhe from Jingzhe." Fang Zhe took the initiative to reach out and introduced himself.
Marilyn followed her with a humble smile on her face, completely losing the momentum she had when leaving the airport.
How awesome is this guy? He can train an ocean horse like this? Leng Shan thought in his heart, with a smile on his face.
"Leng Shan, I didn't expect the rumors to be true."
Fang Zhe knew what he meant, smiled, and turned around to introduce: "Jian Fanghua, the general manager of Fanghua Entertainment, a partner of Summit Pictures in China. For this incubation park plan, Ms. Jian Fanghua is responsible for the execution and supervision of the project."
Except for Leng Shan, there was no need for Fang Zhe to know anyone else. He had this qualification. After being polite, he walked in side by side with Leng Shan. After entering the box and taking a seat, Leng Shan walked away from the slightly chaotic rhythm caused by the sudden attack.
come out.
"What Mr. Fang just said is that Ms. Jian Fanghua is responsible for the implementation and supervision of the project. How do you say this?"
"The incubator plan is intended to help China develop commercial films. Judging from the current atmosphere of Chinese films, most directors are still more interested in making so-called literary films and having them awarded in Europe. Frankly speaking, this type of film is not in the plan
.So, Fanghua Entertainment is responsible for reviewing the project and supervising the use of funds."
Fang Zhe spoke clearly and logically, and Leng Shan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It was not just about interfering in the director's work.
