Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

Hearing Su Yun's doubts, Zou Yunhua was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at the photo, explaining with a look of nostalgia for the past: "Of course you don't know him——his name is Zhao Liying, and he was a member of the Zhao Brothers Company back then. general manager."

"The position of the general manager of Zhao Brothers Company back then was not just a vacant position with a false name, but a real and important position. And in this position was Zhao Liying, the most promising nephew of Zhao Rifu back then."

"Don't underestimate him just because he is so much younger than me. Someone like Zhao Liying who has talent in this field since childhood and is in this industry at home, and the experience he has acquired since childhood is comparable to an old employee with more than ten years. It’s definitely much better than someone like me who joined this industry after finishing school.”

"Back then, I could only be regarded as a 'newcomer' brought out by him."

"Because the Zhao family's training of children and grandchildren followed the traditional habits of big families in the old days, and cultivated the next generation in the way of 'pair raising' in which brothers raised their children interchangeably. Therefore, Zhao Liying, born to Zhao Rifu's second brother, was handed over to the family. It was trained by Zhao Rifu in Xiangjiang, and Zhao Rifu's son Zhao Liming was trained by the third brother in Singapore."

"Zhao Rifu attached great importance to Zhao Liying, and once regarded him as the successor of the Zhao family. At that time, I was the deputy. With him, I couldn't get past it." Zou Yunhua smiled, "Of course, I also understand A family business like Zhao’s would only be passed on to his own people, so he didn’t think much about it at the time.”

"What I didn't expect was that after Zhao Rifu had a falling out with his second brother, his second brother would actually force Zhao Liying to resign, so that he went away to Dongying."

"Dongying?" Catching this key word, Su Yun settled down and continued to listen.

"Yes, because he can't stay in Xiangjiang, and he can't go back to Singapore. There are no people on both sides, so he can only go to other places." Zou Yunhua was immersed in the memory, and did not pay attention to Su Yun's strangeness, and continued on his own He continued, "Actually, nearly half of the theaters in the Jiahe theater chain also benefited from the struggle between Zhao Rifu and his brothers, and they were bought from Zhao's Father and Son Films owned by Zhao Rifu's second brother-for this reason, Zhao Rifu is dissatisfied with both his second brother and his most promising nephew."

"However, at that time, I didn't actually think about the long-term. I just thought that if Zhao Liying left, would it be possible for me to become a regular?" Zou Yunhua sighed, "In order to win the position of general manager, I have done a lot. Don't work too hard, it's a pity that the Zhao family has already defeated all the previous opponents with the help of us people, and the family is so dominant that it has lost its previous fighting spirit and enlightenment..."

"So after Zhao Rifu arranged that Ms. Fang into the company, I knew - no matter how hard you work as a wage earner, you will not become the boss's own person."

"So I created Jiahe."

Su Yun nodded with deep feeling: Indeed, a worker will basically be a worker for a lifetime. If you want to be a boss, the easiest and hardest way to go is to abandon the past and build a new one.

"But the newly born Jiahe was actually struggling to survive under the attack of the Zhao family. It was not until your master came back from the United States and joined in that Jiahe gradually got on the right track." Zou Yunhua said here , looked at Su Yun with complicated eyes, "Shaolong's original wish was to enter Hollywood, but now he looks like this..."

"You are his apprentice, and I don't know whether it's luck or strength, you have become the second person in Xiangjiang who can occupy a place in Hollywood, even though you are still so young." Thinking of the past Zou Yunhua rarely opened his heart to this child Su Yun about Jiahe’s difficulties in starting a business and his friendship with Lv Shaolong, “The reason why I support you so much in competing for the Oscar is not only for Jiahe, but also For Shaolong."

"I understand." Su Yun nodded again.

"If you understand what I mean, that would be the best." Zou Yunhua also nodded, and then greeted Su Yun, "Before we set off, you go visit Shaolong and his family, this time there may be Stay in America for a while."

"I know." Su Yun replied, and then asked again, "By the way, I asked you to help install an overseas phone in my house. When will it be finished?"

"I have already negotiated with the telephone company. In about a week, I should be able to install the overseas phone for you. Then you can call Xiangjiang's home at any time, and you don't have to worry about it all the time." Zou Yunhua replied.

These days, overseas calls are not only loaded and unloaded, but also expensive to use.Jiahe will install it mainly for the convenience of negotiating work with foreign countries, such as Su Yun's outfit for family use, it can almost be called a waste of money.

But she is still so young, and she and her family can make money, so when you think about it, it's not a bad problem.

So Zou Yunhua agreed to help Su Yun with this favor, and by the way, it was also convenient for Jiahe to have an extra way to contact her if he needed to find someone occasionally.

After receiving the guarantee from the rear, Su Yun felt relieved again. After visiting the home of her master Lu Shaolong and Qi Ye Xu Gujie, she told her family to call her overseas if they needed anything.

In the end, Su Yun, who was busy with everything, got on the plane to the United States again.

On the plane, Zou Yunhua who was sitting next to him suddenly remembered something, and turned to look at Su Yun: "By the way, do you need my help to prepare the gown for the award ceremony?"

Even if it's just a nomination, it's still at the level of a global live broadcast.

Then, no matter how beautiful Su Yun is naturally, she needs the blessing of foreign objects to fight against those who have put in a lot of effort to prepare for this awards ceremony.

As for children's dresses, it is difficult to buy them. Generally speaking, Xiangjiang's custom is to find old tailors with good craftsmanship and reputation in advance to customize them.

Those wealthy and upper-class people often find people to customize dresses and jewelry of various sizes for their wives and young ladies to wear before holding parties of one kind or another every year.

"My neighbor's home is a garment factory, and my aunt is an old tailor. When I came back this time, I drew a design sketch and asked her to do it for me." Su Yun said and took a small notebook with her. Open it and show Zou Yunhua a look at the picture on it, "They are all my own people, they will prepare the materials for me."

Seeing the several small dresses marked with various keywords above, each with several styles such as dark and light, classical and modern, Zou Yunhua hummed: "Then I will ask someone to prepare some for you." Matching jewelry, then ask them to send it to the United States together with the clothes."

Seeing his heartbroken old father's appearance, Su Yun responded with a smile.

After arriving in the United States and staying in a hotel, Su Yun searched for the previous awards ceremony from the system to see the situation before it was time to negotiate with Warner.

It’s okay not to look at it, but I almost didn’t get startled when I saw it: at that time, the venue’s makeup and so on were regarded as high-end from the perspective of this era, but for Su Yun who has been baptized by various beautiful stage effects in later generations , it's... quite simple.

But the simplicity is not the main problem!

I don't know which ghost's idea it is, maybe in order to show off the split-screen live broadcast technology that has been put into use in recent years, when the awards are presented, the nominees will have a personal small screen to record their live reactions.

The nominees who were not present will be replaced with a photo.

Seeing one or two static black-and-white photos that looked like posthumous photos sandwiched between several moving dynamic color screens on the screen, Su Yun was terrified: Fortunately, she chose to fight hard and attend the ceremony.

Otherwise, when the best supporting actress is rebroadcasted, a "posthumous photo" of her will be put on the TV screen, maybe there will be some media who are unconscionable for the sake of gimmicks, making her look like a car accident hero Nagano-san or a certain Ms. Zhuo, like Miss Zhuo, was surprised by all kinds of rumors...

On the second day, Su Yun and Zou Yunhua came to Warner's New York headquarters and began to negotiate on the issue of winning the Oscar.

However, when he heard that these two Xiangjiang people actually wanted Warner to help them fight for the Best Supporting Actress award, the face of the person in charge across the conference table changed on the spot.

"Do you know that at the Golden Globe Awards in January, Linda Blair of "The Exorcist" has already won a Best Supporting Actress?" Now the Golden Globe Awards are generally regarded as the wind vane of Oscars, so the person in charge tsk tsk two The voice, obviously feeling extremely ridiculous at their whimsy, "Even without Linda Blair, Tatum O'Neal of "Paper Moon" won the best newcomer... and "AI Artificial Intelligence" has a lot of box office, but Here at the Ballon d'Or it's nothing."

I don't know how this child Su Yun got an Oscar nomination, but for a yellow-skinned child like her, isn't one Oscar nomination not enough? !

If she was a fair-skinned child... no, even if it was just a black-skinned child, given her age and acting skills, maybe Warner might consider concentrating resources on her.

But the world is not always what people want, even if everyone admits that her acting skills are not inferior to other competitors and even her appearance is far superior, but this one identity issue can make her win the Golden Globe Award. The halberd fell to the sand there.

"We, Jiahe, can offer 200 million US dollars." Zou Yunhua put forward the conditions on his side even in a humble manner.

Now is not the time for future public relations wars to be filled with money. The price of 200 million US dollars for a best female supporting role is also "fortunate" that Su Yun is Chinese.

Otherwise, if you change to other nominees, someone will accept half of the discount.

"It's not a question of money, but... I can't explain it too clearly, do you understand?" Warner has never been short of money, but in this year's Oscars, they chose to spend a lot of money and use their contacts to give "Driver". Devilman, it is absolutely impossible to divert energy to another movie.

"Even if we don't choose Linda Blair, it's impossible to choose your Mary." Seeing Su Yun's lonely expression on the opposite side, the person in charge couldn't bear it, "Oscars need votes, and your opponent Tato Tom O'Neill, her parents are well-known actors in Hollywood, well-connected... Do you understand?"

When Su Yun came out with the sullen Zou Yunhua, she also happened to meet Linda Blair who came here with her mother.

Su Yun had helped "The Exorcist" with the post-production special effects before, and the two were good friends who had met, so Blair waved his hand to Su Yun to say hello.

There is a bit of pity in the eyes, but it is not the show off of the winner.

On the contrary, it is the helplessness of the same "weak".

This girl who was a few years older than her also knew that she had little chance of winning, but because the movie was selected, she got on the ride of being promoted by Warner.

After getting nothing from Warner, Zou Yunhua did not give up, and took Su Yun to the old brokerage company WMA without stopping.

They have plenty of money, but their connections cannot be compared with these companies and people who were born here, so they can only turn to these old big companies that are deeply rooted in Hollywood.

The ending is of course also obvious, hitting a wall again.

However, it is strange that someone found them based on their information.

"You said, you are not in the name of WMA, but you will use your personal and friends' abilities to take our business?" Zou Yunhua, who was full of joy when he saw the position of assistant president on his business card, heard that When the man expressed his true intentions, his face sank again immediately.

Even if it is an assistant to the president, how high is the success rate of taking private jobs?

Zou Yunhua, who was about to walk away, was suddenly grabbed by Su Yun: "Don't leave, I think he can be trusted."

While saying this, she couldn't help but glanced at the business card on the table again.

Michael Ovitz...

The founder of CAA, which can rival WMA in the future.
