Rebirth of the Entertainment Master

"Emperor Yun is right. Comedy films exist to make people laugh."

"It's no wonder that the films made by Yunhuang can get such a good box office. Because his perspective on issues is the same as ours, success is naturally easy."

Not only the audience, Lai Changping was also lost in thought.

He suddenly thought of his son's words, although they were slightly different from Xiao Yunhai's words, they both had the same meaning.

Could it be that Xiao Yunhai's point of view is correct?

This suddenly caused a gap in Lai Changping's confidence.

"Mr. Xiao, according to your opinion, everyone can make commercial films, so why make art films?" Shen Qingyan said.

"Of course not." Without even thinking about it, Xiao Yunhai said, "I didn't belittle art films. What I want to express is that the four words are both refined and popular. We should not only value those films with strong artistic colors, but also value Look at those films with strong commercial elements from a fair perspective. If you want to promote Chinese culture, it is absolutely impossible to blindly follow the literary route. Why are art films generally not as good as commercial films at the box office? Our directors should ponder this question. It is strange that a movie that even domestic fans can’t understand is screened abroad, and the box office can do well.”

Jiao Fangtao nodded, expressing his deep agreement, and said: "When I was filming "Xiao Cui", the most difficult part was how to let foreign audiences understand the meaning of my film. A familiar idiom, Putting it abroad, no movie fans can understand it at all. They can’t even understand the movie, so how can we promote Chinese culture. Including our current "Sword Fairy", more than 20 Chinese and foreign experts were invited to translate it. It took a month to finish. Even so, I can't guarantee that "Sword Immortal" will achieve good results."

Shen Qingyan said: "Mr. Xiao, Director Jiao, are we digressing?"

Xiao Yunhai said with a chuckle: "It is indeed a little bit, then let's turn back. Teachers, I think a truly excellent film critic should not be too high-minded like many literati, but should look at a film from the perspective of an audience. Movies. Because your movie reviews are written for the audience to help them understand the pros and cons of the movie for them to choose. To put it seriously, the meaning of existence of directors, actors and film critics is ultimately for the public. With The public has the same vision, that is good movies, good movie reviews. On the contrary, we are nothing.”

Ingratiating, blatantly ingratiating, Xiao Yunhai's words lifted the audience to the highest position, and immediately aroused the sympathy of the audience, and overwhelming applause resounded throughout the live broadcast room.

Chapter 1605 Oil Tycoon

The Internet is even more lively because of this.

"Emperor Yun is Emperor Yun. Even if he participates in the debate, he is still confident and neither arrogant nor impetuous."

"Yunhuang's speech is indeed very convincing. The movie is for our fans, and we are really good only if we say it is good. Other people's praise is nothing."

"I stopped reading critics' reviews of movies two years ago, especially commercial movies, because the score of this kind of movie will never be higher than eight."

"What is an art film? I didn't understand it before. Only later did I realize that all films that we can't understand are called art films."

"Why can Emperor Yun become the world's number one director? It's because he always directs from the perspective of a movie fan, so even if he shoots a movie with strong artistic color like "The Grandmaster", we can still understand it. You can still feel how wonderful it is.”

"Yunhuang is right. The Film Critics Association should make some changes and place commercial films on the same level as art films. Otherwise, Chinese films will only be trapped in the local area and will never break out of the world."

On TV, Xiao Yunhai gave full play to his eloquence, quoting from many sources, and unreservedly expressed his understanding of movies over the years. Liang Hui and others, who had never interrupted, also had room to use their own actual experience. To prove Xiao Yunhai's words, everyone nodded frequently.

Half an hour later, the discussion came to an end, Xiao Yunhai declined the TV station's invitation to dinner, and drove back home.

"Husband, you offended those film critics very badly. I saw the faces of those teachers were very ugly after the show was over."

Zhao Wanqing, who watched the live broadcast, said while putting Xiao Yunhai's coat on the hanger.

Xiao Yunhai shrugged his shoulders, and said: "If you offend, you can offend. Anyway, I don't make movies and TV series for them to watch."

Zhao Wanqing said: "But they are the mouthpiece of the movie. If they deal with you together, you will be in big trouble."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "Don't worry, haven't you heard a word? A gentleman can be deceived. These few are all traditional literati, very noble, and don't bother to act like a villain."

Zhao Wanqing said: "You, you are so cunning. But I still agree with you very much. Zhang Yuan and Linger will be back at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, do you want to pick up the plane?"

Xiao Yunhai shook his head, and said: "Tomorrow I'm going to the government office to talk about the Ghawal oil field again. Hehe, I'm the favorite of the government now. Uncle and the others always want to get some money from me. Good thing, I regretted setting up this Yunqing Petroleum and Natural Gas Company.”

Zhao Wanqing gave him a hard look with her beautiful eyes, and said angrily, "You don't want to take advantage here and act like a good boy. Oil is the lifeblood of a country, can the government not be nervous? Come back for lunch tomorrow?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "It's hard to say. I heard from the staff member that the government is determined to take over the Ghawal oil field this time. Besides me as a shareholder, it also invited several other shareholders and more than a dozen oil tycoons. They are big local tyrants. These people have been in Yanjing for three days, and I heard that they are very difficult to serve, all of them have their eyes above the top, and they don’t even look at the officials who accompany them, and the negotiations have reached a deadlock."

Zhao Wanqing asked in confusion: "Why is the government so spoiled by them? You can't buy them here, at worst you can buy them from other parties."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "Honey, didn't I tell you? These people are big local tyrants, each of whom controls many oil fields, and the government cannot afford to offend them. There is no way, the Arab countries have already begun to restrict oil exports. Get enough oil and it's the only ones that can get their attention."

Zhao Wanqing said: "Then what are you going to do?"

Xiao Yunhai said: "Maybe let me be a bridge in the middle. Anyway, I am also the richest man in the world on the surface. The oil reserves of Yunqing Petroleum and Natural Gas Company are now ranked second. Everyone should give me some face." .”

In fact, Xiao Yunhai didn't want to get involved in this matter at all.

Government officials called him several times, but Xiao Yunhai declined them all.

But the last call was made by Xiao Chongyang himself, Xiao Yunhai had no choice but to agree.

Huaxia Government Office

Liao Shengzhi, Minister of Resources, Wang Qihong, Minister of Finance, and Tian Weiqi, CEO of Huaxia Petroleum Company, gathered in Xiao Chongyang's office to report today's situation to him.

"Boss, these oil tycoons are too self-willed. They are all arrogant, and they don't have the sincerity to negotiate at all." Liao Shengzhi said angrily.

Today, Liao Shengzhi didn't do any work. He spent a day talking with more than a dozen oil tycoons, but he couldn't negotiate anything, which made Liao Shengzhi very angry.

Wang Qihong smiled and said, "Minister Liao, it seems that your feelings are similar to mine."

He was the person in charge of the reception two days ago, and he was also annoyed by these people. Accompanying them to climb the Great Wall and visit the Forbidden City not only delayed work, but was also exhausting.

Seeing Liao Shengzhi doing the same, he felt a little gloating about his misfortune.

Liao Shengzhi sighed, and said, "These people...forget it, I don't even know what to say about them."

Xiao Chongyang said: "Don't say such depressing words. Countries in the Middle East have locked down oil exports, which provides these private oil fields with a chance to make a fortune. Since they have come, I absolutely don't believe that they are just traveling around. "

A week ago, major oil exporting countries such as Iraq and Iran officially announced to the world that they would reduce the export of crude oil by 500 billion barrels per year, which immediately triggered a series of chemical reactions.

The price of oil has soared in a straight line, from the original 105 billion barrels to 148.5 US dollars a barrel. The stock prices of major oil companies have also risen one after another. For example, Xiao Yunhai's Yunqing Oil and Gas Company has directly risen to 20 trillion US dollars, and TMC Energy Company It even broke [-] trillion US dollars, which is a mess.

The hardest hit is Huaxia.

Most of their oil imports come from the Middle East. In this way, the domestic oil production can't keep up immediately, and they have to turn to these Arab oil tycoons for help.

To be able to invite them here, the Huaxia government also paid a huge price.

Liao Shengzhi is well aware of the current situation, and just complained a few words, and said: "Chief, they are waiting for a price. I heard that European and American countries have also accelerated the pace of wooing private oil companies. Someone met them."

Xiao Chongyang nodded, looked at Tian Weiqi, the boss of the oil company, and said, "What's the current situation in Tahe Oilfield? When will we be able to officially supply refined oil?"

Tian Weiqi said: "The construction of our oil refinery is very complicated, and the pipeline is also being laid. It will take four months to complete at the earliest. However, the railway should be opened to traffic within two months. By then we can use Yunqing Oil and Gas Crude oil produced by the company is shipped to refineries in other regions.”

Xiao Chongyang nodded, and said: "We must speed up and finish with quality and quantity. I called Yunhai an hour ago, and he will also participate in the negotiation tomorrow, which should be useful. My request is not high, first Give me that Ghawar field."

"Yes, Chief."

Chapter 1606 Difficult Negotiations

At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Xiao Yunhai drove to the government office.

As soon as he got out of the car, he bumped into the Abud who gambled with him last time.
