Hollywood Domination Chapter 398: Carrots, carrots.

Olympic officials? In terms of Beijing's emphasis on the Olympics, this level is definitely not low, and almost all politicians are excited: it is very simple, if Jennifer and the other party have had an ambiguous relationship with each other many times—or not , old friend relationship, or interest transfer relationship, it is normal for the other party to give Jennifer’s movie a privilege, which does not mean that others can easily copy this treatment, unless other manufacturers also use similar means to form competition, but no matter How, these are scarce resources, which can only form a competitive relationship within Hollywood, and have little meaning to the Secretary of State, but if there is no benefit transfer in this kind of treatment, or if the benefit component is very weak and the emotional tendency is stronger, it means that this is the case. A senior official...

"From the conversation, I can feel that he is full of affection for American culture, but it is limited by the surrounding environment and cannot be fully expressed—" Jenny took a sip of water, admiring everyone listening to the senior officials With the gossip in her eyes, she tried her best to stop her urge to laugh wildly, "So I think he doesn't approve of censorship and this disguised suppression—maybe you don't know, China's film and television drama market is It’s very messy. I’ve heard that some people have always advocated opening up the market, introducing competition, and completely allowing the market to control the sculpture industry, but this radical idea has been suppressed internally—this is what my Chinese director friend told me .”

"Are you talking about Zhang?" Jeff Robin, who has been listening intently, does not want China to open its market, just like Shaolin Fangzhang Enterprise, born in the 1980s. "

“But they also want to avoid censorship, which you know has very vague criteria, and there’s a lot of room for privileged rent-seeking, not even for money, but for some of the rarer resources — and subject to Great influence from the upper echelon." Jenny explained authentically, and by the way, she popularized science for her colleagues. "So if these two things are to be tied together, domestic directors may have mixed feelings, but really good directors will hold an anticipatory attitude, because even director Zhang cannot escape censorship."

She opened her eyes and talked nonsense, "The tricky point of this system is that it takes a lot of effort to solve it from the bottom up, and the result may not be ideal, because while you are working hard, your colleagues Competitors are also working hard, and their connections must be better than yours, because supporting domestic production is a banner of political correctness in any country. Only top-down pressure can be exerted to suppress the same file Competitors, and strive for the treatment of simultaneous release."

"You're absolutely right," Christopher Dodd here, playing the role of a hotheaded questioner, asks from the perspective of the industry as a whole, "so you think your fan has the ability to push foreign films to a higher level?" Divide into and open the market? Or, is he capable of meeting our requirements? Or do you think he can only provide convenience to you—speaking of which, who is he?”

"I've already found out." A think tank of the Secretary of State said, it was he who hinted that Jenny might have an affair with that person just now, but now, he gave Jennifer a complicated look, raised his phone and said a name , "This is the person in charge of the Olympics..."

This familiar name made both the Secretary of State and the Senator speechless at the same time, and Bewkes, who is not so sensitive to politics, asked, "Who is that?"

Regardless of previous suspicions, Robert whispered to Bewkes, and Bewkes also fell into a state of speechlessness—well, this one is capable of promoting changes in the Chinese film market, and he is definitely capable of saying hello Just let Jennifer enjoy the privilege, but...an official of this level is not accessible to ordinary interest groups, let alone impress him to make an exchange. The Secretary of State will not be able to get in touch unless the President is asked to come forward in the future... Not to mention whether this is possible, but if the President is allowed to mention this issue in the talks, it is already a state matter, even if the other party also agrees with the request of the United States, But it must also include a series of strategic interest exchanges, which are part of political activities. Even if you know his personal tendencies, what's the point?

Hmm...maybe there is still meaning, at least for politicians, all information is meaningful, who knows if China will produce a Gorbachev? If the next person has a good opinion of American culture... and in the negotiation between countries, even such a small information can reduce a lot of unnecessary work. The idea is full of disgust and absolutely unacceptable. Then the US can target and effectively allocate the focus of the negotiation during the negotiation. Therefore, neither the Secretary of State nor the Senator showed any signs of disappointment. Instead, they asked Jenny carefully about the details of the meeting at that time. ——On the other hand, Jeff Bewkes, after a few words of explanation from Dodd, soon showed dismay: Beijing's change of office was in 2013, and there are still three years away from now, although this He will definitely have great influence in the future, but it is conceivable that, given Beijing's political environment, he would never push such a sensitive matter before that. So even if this line is useful, it will be at least 13 years later, and... To be honest, it is hard to say whether Jennifer's personal understanding is useful at the other party's level. Basically, this information is important for the film company. It's trash.

"He looks commanding, but also very open-minded and charming..."

Based on real impressions, Jenny played a bunch of compliments, and succeeded in making the meeting with a group of people in less than five minutes, and the polite "I like your movies very much" sound full. It has endless meaning-technically speaking, she is not lying, all misleading information is preceded by "I feel", and as far as she remembers, Beijing has made concessions on the share and increased the number of imported movies. It is indeed something that will happen in the next few years, so it can be inferred that at least that person is not very disgusted with the idea of ​​increasing the degree of openness of the film market, at least it is better than the idea of ​​allowing Google to re-enter China-it can still be discussed. But as for saying that he has a good impression of American culture, it is purely nonsense, but this is "my feeling" anyway, a movie star, who is favored by the future head of state, will boast more and play a little bit proudly, Is there still a crime? I didn't see Rodman and Kim Jong-un becoming good buddies, and even defending Kim with open eyes and nonsense on talk shows, and no one took him for granted. Regardless of the political consequences of her words, she will not be able to harm herself anyway. Besides, this candidate does limit the possibility of the lie being exposed. It's easy to expose, but blatantly lying will attract the anger of both the political circles and the guild, and she will definitely die very ugly by then.

Now, the political circles feel that they have obtained valuable information, and they are already full, and even a little happy, while the film industry...

If what Jenny said is true, then this problem is indeed expected to be resolved within 4 or 5 years. For veteran politician Dodd, this has made him quite satisfied, and he feels that he has seen the light: any political event They are all tortuous, lengthy and full of repetitions. Four or five years is really not a long time for an industry, and he certainly can afford to wait. But Bewkes looked a little disappointed: such a high-end resource that he couldn't compete with made him feel a bit empty-headed, and this information couldn't be realized quickly, and it couldn't let Warner **** away the advantages of Big Dream, so he ran away specially. After a trip, he inevitably felt a sense of stepping into the void.

As for Robert, his expression is also a little subtle-although he should be satisfied that Dameng has such a strong fan favorite and can always enjoy the privilege, but it can be seen that he is indeed only limited to Dameng's privileges. Meng felt slightly sour, even sitting next to Warner's senior executives, this sourness could not be completely concealed, but a trace of it was revealed in his tone. “I finally understand—to be honest, Jennifer, you solved one of my big mysteries tonight: you know, when Disney and the Shanghai government signed the Disneyland construction contract, they listed the guarantee of movie introduction and synchronization on the table One of the conditions under the conditions - this is one of the reasons why we chose Shanghai, they are the economic center, and the relationship with Beijing is closer..."

He shook his head and said nothing further, and Bewkes couldn't help asking, "But it's not going well, is it?"

"Our friends in Shanghai have made a lot of efforts, but in their terms." Robert shrugged, "This is an area that the upper echelons attach great importance to, and their level and energy are not enough-to be honest, Before tonight, I really didn't understand that it was she who created a miracle again—"

He pointed to Jenny, "Our friend is still lying to me."

Although Jenny is proud, she doesn't want to show off much. She just smiled implicitly, but there was still a lingering sense of superiority in her smile. She and Robert looked at each other, and then quickly restrained her face With a smile, he lowered his head and drank his drink...

This somewhat awkward atmosphere made the two Jeffs look at each other, and their expressions became more cheerful, but of course there was no difference between their actions and words. Robinov took care of Cesare who had not spoken much. , and Bix discussed with Robert the experience of dealing with the Chinese government and enterprises, and thoughtfully let the embarrassment disappear and restore harmony. In order to attach great importance to the entry of movies into China...

Very good... the carrot has been hung up, and when I told Warner Marvel that they had taken away the "Code Shero" comic book adaptation contract, they should get a positive response, and it would not affect the treatment of Dameng in the future cooperation.

Seeing the reactions of the two Jeffs, Jenny secretly let out a sigh of relief: she is good at playing stupid and superficial, and she also has strong confidence in this. The strongest insult to Robert. Using the peripheral development of "Codename Shero" in exchange for his cooperation and performance tonight, this deal is barely worthwhile. ——Of course, if she hadn't been convinced that Robert had won the synchronization rights for a certain period of time through the Shanghai Disney contract, she might not have been happy to see the other five players enjoy the ride-hailing effect and use similar means to exchange the synchronization rights, which would then cause competition. Instead, all If everyone returns to the same starting line again, it will be difficult for her to come up with this solution under the premise that Director Zhang's privileged treatment cannot be shared.

Sweeping at the big people on the table (Jenny is also snobbish and doesn't care about those small feelings), Jenny's eyes are full of carrots—the secretary of state and the senator saw the distant view, and Warner saw the prying eyes Dodd sees a bright future for the industry... This time, she paid for the adaptation rights that she had planned to give away, in exchange for a happy ending, and did not offend anyone she could not afford to offend—that is, at the dining table. almost everyone.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a little sad: Damn, it's really not easy for a small company to develop. Even if it's just a little bit of an advantage, the big guys in front think about it, and they don't hesitate to send the Secretary of State to grab it. When will the days when you fight over each other and intrigue against each other end?

Everyone had a carrot hanging in front of their eyes, looking forward to the future. The atmosphere was relaxed and lively. Everyone really enjoyed this dinner.
