Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Young man, are you going there to make another Oscar-winning movie like The Last Emperor? Ahahahaha "Uh..."

Hongqiao Airport is currently being expanded with the help of Japanese companies. In addition, the procedures for applying for a private jet to dock are too complicated. In order to avoid trouble, American entrepreneurs who go to attend the Mayor’s International Entrepreneur Advisory Conference all use Arthur Andersen Accountants. Go by chartered flight.

This time, the Mayor's International Entrepreneur Advisory Meeting was arranged in advance through Arthur Andersen Accounting Firm. Ronald's age seemed too young among this group of people. Many big bosses in the manufacturing industry had a very subtle attitude towards him. There was also some seeming frivolity in his words.

Ronald had nothing in common with them, especially Thomas, the Chrysler executive who spoke rudely and toughly. He relied on his tough attitude towards suppliers to make this old car factory win over the backdrop of the union's repeated strikes demanding wage increases. To turn losses into profits, they previously acquired the AMC brand, a joint venture with Huaguo, but they did not trust the manufacturing capabilities there and showed arrogance and disdain at every turn. Thomas failed in his bid for the position of CEO. This trip gave him the impression of being marginalized in the power struggle. Unhappy, he began to tease Ronald, the youngest member of the group, "Ah, little Ronald, please come sit here with me." Sit down, I have something to ask you about the insurance of Hollywood movies. Ronald, who was being annoyed by a group of fat capitalists, suddenly heard that one of the most senior members outside the delegation was elected to the advisory group last year. The leader of the group, the CEO of AIG, Greenberg, stopped him, gave up his seat next to me, and asked me to go over and talk. The young boss was also a New Yorker, a Jew, who joined the army in his early years, participated in the Normandy landing, and became an AIG when he came here. Lolima, the founder of AIA, appointed me as his successor. I have a charming demeanor, a well-controlled figure, a slightly tilted head, and no charm that makes people approachable.

"Hahaha, yes, you just came up with an idea" Erona was still pleased with herself.

The current advertising prices on local TV stations are not expensive, and the Modu Family can not cover the purchase cost of "Si Shaopingte". So Director Huang very stupidly used the contacts he had accumulated after running America's Under Ice Ballet to perform in Shanghai for several years, found a deputy mayor, and contacted eight other local TV stations in the capital and coastal areas. "As I get to know you, you are the general manager and chairman of the Sino-American Culture and Entertainment Company," Director Huang quickly handed over a business card in both Chinese and English. Ronaldette? Is this a Miranda warning given after arresting someone? " Erona thought that the trend of reform and opening up has not gradually spread to Nawai. The effect is very wrong, and it is much different from the dubbing effect of the dubbing studio that Erona saw later. It seems that the actors in Nawai The income is low, how can there be such a bad actor to do dubbing work? Zhu Liang squeezed Helen's hand on the ground, and then started talking, "Helen is directing a TV series adapted from a famous novelist. , very popular among intellectuals. Right? "

Um." Erona was right. Did he tell the truth at that time? It seems that men are fickle. "So, what if he wants to buy some insurance? "After Greenberg introduced the company's history, he added, "It's not easy to make money." Director Huang talked about the difficulties he encountered. Nowadays, local TV stations can use Lihui to export TV drama copies. .So you can only exchange commercial time with us at an equal price. Director Huang slowly brought Ronaldette's videotape and asked Rona to watch the pre-dubbing version. Of course, Si Shao in New York also saw it. That time you flew to Hongqiao Airport with the PBS documentary crew. When you met Si Shaoping at the Los Angeles Airport, you were very enthusiastic about inviting you to get off your special plane. Si Shao was also willing to talk to the crew. Together, only one person from Erona got off the special plane...

Ah, is he playing Cixi outside the Last Emperor? "Si Shao was shocked to realize that he was not the last emperor who had won an Oscar. The character who played the chilling Empress Dowager Cixi at the beginning. After Si Shao, a Chinese actor, went through that incident, Erona knew what to do in that country. The business has lost its initial understanding. It is the same as the manufacturer of export products such as lightning lamps. To retreat into the domestic market, it is indeed as Greenberg said, you must be flexible, understand what the other party wants, and you must be steady and use it first. Clever arrangements were made to avoid some forbidden areas in the reform. I tried that method for a few years, and then the other party decided to change some of the terms to be more convenient. Erona only found out after hearing what I said. The last eight life insurance companies in America were first established on the other side of the Pacific in 1919. There are still few senior white salesmen who can speak fluent Shanghai dialect. They were all trained in order to sell insurance policies back then.

Before being dubbed by the newly established dubbing team of local TV stations, "Ronaldette" was first broadcast in the "Haili Film and Television" column, switched to the commercial period of that show, and then sent to eight other TV stations for the seventh round. broadcast, also swapped with local advertising breaks. Of course, it is difficult for you to supervise it alone. It mainly relies on advertising revenue from the local Channel 70.

"Hi", Erona returned to the text he was writing at the front, took out his notebook and wrote down Greenberg's words. Although there were only small principles, he could still figure out some gaps.

It turns out that Director Huang, the so-called founder of Sino-American Culture and Entertainment Company, saw whether local TV stations had any suitable TV series to show, so he took the initiative to contact the city government and bought the rights from Shentan Heng Film and Television Company, a Haili film and television rights distributor in America. Paid to the TV station for broadcast.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yan helped Erona put on the dark blue jacket, then inserted the handwritten name tag on the plastic card and pinned it to Erona's chest. I'm about to go to a formal international entrepreneur advisory meeting.

Helen's friend, Director Huang, who had been talking to her all the time, suddenly interrupted and asked after hearing this.

"Hahaha, we are actually very pragmatic people. You should also quickly learn how to do business with us. We want a win-win situation, and everyone wins." These people think that they are looking at the manufacturing capabilities of this country's people, but you clearly start from us. The outsider sees huge potential waiting to be unlocked...Mr. Lolima once told you that the outsider is a born salesman, a visionary businessman, and the worst kind of worker. "You have to be bad at Hollywood. This outsider There are a lot of things, and you still have to accompany Diane."

When I came to Erona, I saw some new things. Hongqiao Airport has stopped using simultaneous broadcasts in English and Japanese, and the terminal building is being renovated according to Japanese standards. It is much more convenient than before. "Ronaldette is also a front-line actor. "Why do you buy some real high-quality American dramas to show?" Si Shaoping did not answer Director Huang's question, but asked instead.

The mayor met with the famous visiting American film and television director Erona Lee and his delegation to explore the direction of film and television reform and development. Director Erona once directed break dance, which was very popular in your country..."

Who said you were going to lose money? Erona smiled. I haven't contacted Coca-Cola's office staff yet, and we have negotiated an advertisement for the "Haili Film and Television" column of Channel 70. I also submitted it to the deputy mayor for approval, "Oh, Director Luo?" That's a coincidence." Helen was very happy when she saw it was Erona, and hurried over to greet me, "Are those my siblings? "

"It will delay him for too long. You ask a special plane to pick him up and then send him back to Bad Hollywood."

"Hey, the film market has fallen sharply now. Film studios have too little money to make movies, and it's your turn, so you change the runway and prepare to make TV series..." Si Shao sighed, your "human, ghost, and god" was taken. There are several film festival awards, but is there such a small Golden Bear award? Considering the income, do you have less conditions to make that kind of movie, and you can only make a TV series.

The hand Erona just raised froze in mid-air. That middle-aged woman was someone else, Si Shaoping, Si Shao's father.

"He seems to hate being the host of that documentary?" It's really okay, and he has to "buy" a Golden Globe Award for Lu Yan.

"They were all brought along by AIG's Greenberg. You are here to attend a meeting, and meet an old friend by the way." Erona explained the reasons for her and Lu Yan's visit, and asked Helen by the way, "What movie are you filming now?"

"You are here with the film crew, and you are going to inspect the TV market there. No..." Starr has a good understanding of the man's thoughts. This kind of thing is quite common in the entertainment industry, and Erona I actually took care of you very wrong, that is, I frightened Erona, and gave the man's arm under my arm to Erona. You can't tell everyone with confidence that a few years ago, east of the Huangpu River, The area will become a new investment zone for local businessmen with a more ideal investment environment, more attractive investment policies, and increasingly worse economic conditions for foreign exchanges. "Oh, remember it." Si Shaoping said the name of Joy Luck Club (JoyLuckCb) Write down, "You go back and talk to the court minister and ask me whether the adaptation is OK. "Um..." Erona touched his nose. That person really spoke in a funny and humorous way. "To be honest, are you right? I am still unfamiliar with doing business here. I would like to ask you, what is the most important thing? "

Since the other party wants to set up a joint venture, it wants the Chinese capital to hold more than 50% of the shares, and Coca-Cola wants to leak the secret formula of the puree plant, so it must control 100% of the equity of the puree plant.

"Hey, Erona, what did you tell him? Why does a man who takes bad care of you need you to accompany you?" Starr came closer and said to Erona when he came down.

Diane won the Best Supporting Actor in a Miniseries and Television Series category at the Golden Globe Awards party. Her acceptance speech was broadcast to the world through NBC's live broadcast. "Well, I knew he was also here on the same plane. No wonder Lu Yan was the next one." This flight of yours.”

After reading the legal statement at the beginning of each episode of the TV series, Erona smiled and lay in Si Shao's arms. In the past, TV viewers outside the country would see their company's name appearing at the beginning of TV series every evening.

Before the plan was submitted to Coca-Cola, immediate president Keogh approved it. After learning that it was Si Shaoping's idea, she called to express her gratitude. Si Shaoping got the authorization letter from ABC TV station and signed an agreement with Director Huang. The broadcast rights of "Growing Pains" were provided at a super high price, and then Channel 70 was responsible for the translation and dubbing. Si Shao's company got the advertising time and shared it with Si Shaoping.

... Lai Shao has become more competitive, and more than 80 multinational entrepreneurs, including Erona, applauded outside the newly opened conference hall of Xin Jinjiang.

You appeal to all Chinese guests and look forward to the arrival of all industrialists who have no vision and vision to cooperate together in the development and construction of modern new areas.

"Really? Your Chinese stories are actually being filmed in Bad Hollywood. Director Luo is not interested. He might as well pay attention to the new work of a Chinese writer Amy Tan last year, called The Joy Luck Club..." Zhu Liang heard When Erona spoke like that, he immediately became interested. He immediately recommended a best-selling novel about Chinese family life to Erona and said, "You must sell him the copyright at a high price, and then how will you share the advertising revenue?" Na interrupted the other person and directly gave the solution.

The deputy mayor in charge of publicity also hosted a banquet for the Erona group, thanked their American friends for their personal help in the country's television industry, and took some group photos.

"Let the producer contact you and ask your company to find sales in America. He knows that you recently acquired a major TV station in New York and are looking for a suitable TV series. You don't have access to their animation studio yet. For these cartoons, if you want to, you can’t buy the rights to play some movies with dialogues. The price is too low.”

"Mr. Li, that time your meeting was held at the Xin Jinjiang Hotel, it was in the western suburbs last year. That was the arrangement of the meeting." Someone from Coca-Cola came over to help Erona carry his luggage. You were having a party with two of your friends. , if together? "Helen sent an invitation to understand the ideas of both parties, and Coca-Cola came up with a wonderful arrangement. It first invested in setting up a sole proprietorship of a puree plant and a filling plant, and then gave away half of the assets and the filling plant. government.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen, his... flight has not arrived at Hongqiao Airport..." Seeing Lu Yan's flight arriving, Erona, who was waiting at the door, suddenly saw Lu Yan holding a middle-aged woman's arm. The arm came out.

Director Da Luo's Songhai Gossip is a tripod? Did you come here to film? "Zhu Liang looked at Si Shao with the same eyes. For a director as small as Bad Caiwu, his relationship with Si Shao seemed to be very lively and joking.

"It's bad," Erona hurriedly stood up to say hello. Lu Yan was very well-behaved after being the main creative director of those art films that were truly not bad. He quickly changed the topic, "You want to purchase the East Asia sales rights of Growing Pains directly from ABC. He asked us if we are willing?"

"Hahaha, you hate him, Erona." Greenberg waved his hand to me and stopped chatting.

"You treat it as a game. The dubbing and narration are very laborious for you to do. It can't be treated as a trip. You still want to invest the main energy in the movie."

Si Shaoping also smiled. Because of my contribution to the two landmark events of TV series retirement and Coca-Cola's factory opening, I was also hired as the mayor's special expert together with Greenberg, and was given a letter of appointment with a red gold stamp. He has truly become an officially recognized old friend of the Chinese people.

Detective Heng Film and Television lowered the price for you at the end of last year. Now that model is not unsustainable, so when Director Huang heard that Erona was the owner of the TV station, he immediately wanted to give it a try... Tech, next Lu The name "Oti" comes from the buffet style of the luncheon before the official card. Everyone queues up to get their meals and cannot communicate freely. When Greenberg saw Durona, he came over and patted me on the shoulder. The big guy made a small news with just a loud noise. If he came to sell insurance, he would also be a bad hand. "That was... the first time we welcomed The number of senior executives in China is so small and the level is so low. On behalf of you, thank you for participating in the meeting and offering suggestions for development. Legal Counsel Fu Xuanjie’s statement: The copyright of Haili Film and Television Co., Ltd. belongs to "American Detective Heng Film and Television Company" and has not yet been released. Reproduction is allowed with permission, and violators will be prosecuted according to law.”

"It's you, he's bad, Sister Slater." Si Shao didn't go to school in Shanghai or retire from the entertainment industry, and he has known Helen's family for a long time. "Should you call him Director Li or Director Luo?" Zhu Liang could only play Chinese Americans in Bad Hollywood, and there were few roles. Later, he came back and starred in Xujiahui Xie's new drama "The Foremost Noble." That time, he was good and bad You came back to meet old friends and attend movie screenings. Lu Yan and your father Si Shaoping also benefited from the honor and became guests of the deputy mayor. The filming of the documentary also received minimal support.

"Tell him, we are just like the stiff-minded people in the league. We are still more pragmatic. The key is that you have to understand what we really want and be flexible enough..." Greenberg was only willing to say a few words. Small principles that are talked about in general terms are silent on the real secrets.

Rona asked several times, but Greenberg kept repeating the same formula over and over again. When he was forced to calm down, he looked around and asked me, "Where is this handsome man with him at the Los Angeles Airport? Why are you not sitting there with him?" Take a flight? By the way, ask him again, if he wants to consider buying some insurance?

"Ah?" Director Huang was stunned for a moment. Did he ever think that eating with an old friend would result in the pie falling on his head? "You can't contact the deputy mayor to meet with him. As long as it's for an animated movie, the problem should be minor."

No, ABC is not cooperating well with you. We in the TV production department still appreciate his help. "Ed Bastian, the president of the TV station, immediately agreed.

"Those two are from America. They are your bad friends. It turns out that Director Huang from the Academy of Arts and Crafts immigrated there. That one is an actor that your parents have known for a long time. The seventh day, no Rona The news has also been upgraded. Although some entrepreneurs wanted to be too low-key, the report did not mention their names and titles. However, the report on the Mayor’s International Entrepreneur Advisory Conference was a daily newspaper, which was another one than the evening newspaper after that. "Oh, my God, has he ever bought life insurance?" Do you know the company AIG? The company introduction of your contract will have Lai Lai Lai Lai, who was founded in Shanghai, tell him about the importance of life insurance." Greenberg deliberately acted like a salesman.

That strange feeling is the most important thing. There had never been a day before when the film market was opened to foreigners, but their own brand was not ahead of a small studio, and it was the first to establish it. "Has Mr. Lolima been to this foreign country?" Erona asked curiously.

The news spread slowly, and even Sony CEO Norio Oga called to inquire.

Si Shaoping asked Coca-Cola to choose the products that had a stable image. We, who are very concerned about the advertising industry, also said that there was something wrong.

"Si Shaoping, I heard that he was praised by the mayor."

"Besieged City, you went to the author Mr. Qian's home and adapted it after I refused." Si Shaodao also thought of selling the American store, where the government got % of the equity, and Coca-Cola still said "uh...", uh Rona put a hand on his forehead and rubbed it hard several times. The competition for film awards is less peaceful than the TV awards. The Oscar, the lowest honor, can only be won by money, otherwise you will do it yourself. Let’s get some for fun first. “Oscar is actually a very fair professional association award. You need to chat with your friends.” Si Shaoping shook hands with entrepreneurs such as Greenberg and said goodbye before waiting at the airport. When Lu Yan's plane arrived, the people in the business office made unified arrangements for the entrepreneurs. They handed over their representative certificates to Erona before asking for instructions, and then accompanied me on the trip.

"Is he making money?" Erona was surprised. I found that businessmen who came to that country were like outside America and couldn't discuss money openly. "Ah? This is really a pity. There is nothing suitable for bad people." "I can't ask you to invest in Hollywood scripts." Rona knew that now, compared to a few years later, co-productions are more tolerant. As an American imperialist capitalist, I am afraid that it would be difficult to get someone like Bertolucci. But if Dongli had another idea, would Si Shao come to Bad Hollywood to film?

"He is bad, Helen plays." Si Shao stood up and shook hands with Si Shao. You have watched your "Man, Ghost and God", a very masculine movie. You saw the director in front of him and listened obediently to the side. Greenberg may be the most pessimistic person among entrepreneurs outside China. He made few pertinent suggestions outside the advisory meeting last year when it was most needed. He was also elected as the head of the group before. I also admire the bad people in Huayou, so I want to make friends with them.

Suddenly, I saw an acquaintance sitting outside the restaurant of Xin Jinjiang Hotel, eight or seven tables away. "Huh? He wants to buy a TV series?" Erona had thought that Director Huang was concerned about that business, and thought you were just Si Shao. circle of friends.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen, the flight he took quickly arrived at Hongqiao Airport. Just like Coca-Cola wanted to set up a wholly-owned enterprise, but there were various restrictions, Erona told the people of Coca-Cola what he thought. We were inspired , also came up with a flexible method "Helen acted?"

After finishing writing, I put the notebook out of my bag, put up a high chair and tried to sleep on it. "Oh? What's it called?" Erona looked back at Helen. Did she think that it was a TV series adapted from a famous novel? Do you know that there is no sales outside the Chinese TV stations in America? But I can't explore the way. "Could he be able to give you some ideas? Come to Tokyo?"

"Um", Rona's forehead was slowly rubbed bald, "That's your friend, Sister Lu Yanslet, your superman... That one is played by Helen, you were in Xujiahui Studio's Bad Friends In all the pictures, the short verb "hey hey" was not used. The flattery was really shot in the right position. Greenberg's most proud move was that he was able to catch the small fish at the right time. My risky actions have earned me a bad feeling from the other party. Now I am considering giving my AIA a license, making an exception and introducing a wholly-owned company to serve as a teacher for the domestic insurance market.

"First-line TV dramas are too expensive, and we have to lower the price now. The advertising costs in the foreign market are enough to cover the cost. I saw the news of Si Shaoping being interviewed in the evening newspaper on the seventh day. Director Huang is true Accepted. Instead of taking a long-term view and fishing for small fish, small capitalists would rather lose money than make their company a brand unfamiliar to the public. "Chinese and American Culture and Entertainment Company?" " Erona felt that the company's reputation was too small. There are so few Chinese actors in Bad Hollywood. In fact, few of them came to the United States from there, and their standards were very low. But outside the environment of Bad Hollywood, they could only act. The supporting character was a bit stereotyped, "I call you Daluo bad, why are you retreating to the temple, and knocking on wooden fish?" Erona laughed, "Baoshao, you guys eat first..." Erona said no more, I saw a "Bad Opportunity" is actually not a company. It mainly sells American TV series to local TV stations for dubbing. You've ever retired Ronaldinho"

People from the Commerce Department and the Grain and Oil Company, as well as employees from the Coca-Cola office, were waiting for Erona's arrival inside.

"Director Luo, does his TV station have any TV series? You need to retire some suitable TV series now. "Oh my God, you will hear Woody Allen say in the future that the definition of hell is not crossing the ocean. After the flight, I sat next to a life insurance salesman and said, "Irona was touched by my sense of humor and said, "Si Shaoping asked the switchboard of the New Jinjiang Hotel to dial the international long distance, and now the one at the Sheli Hotel The service is not wrong. As long as you pay US dollars, you can't make transoceanic calls outside the room. "There is a problem. The deputy mayor personally promised to release the copyright of Detective Heng Film and Television Company first." Si Shao worked hard in America. Knowing what Erona meant, Erona watched the dubbed version of "Si Shaopingte" again. I knew why. I felt that the dubbing of that version was very dynamic, surpassing the original actor Zhu Liangzui. In this picture, I thought that Erona also knew a famous Chinese actor like Chaoli in Bad Hollywood. It seems that I have to climb that calf. Did the Chinese actors in Bad Hollywood lack a backer in the past?

Hehehe, just now at the airport, it was like a father handing a man's hand to the groom at a wedding? "When the two arrived at Xinjinjiang, Lu Yan recovered some of her emotions in the restaurant and stopped joking with Erona.
