"I can answer this question for you, because our Living Buddha has said that others cannot. Only you, Mr. Liu, are a special case! In fact, this Khenbu Phuntsok is the second master in Tibet. The first one has never advanced before. Me." Zhan Dui's words can also be understood to mean that he and the Sixth Gyamtso are already the only two innate masters in Tibet.
Liu Qingshan did not give up: "Can you make sure that there are no innate masters among the living Buddhas in other temples or sects?" Zhan Dui did not hide it this time: "In fact, the real masters only exist in the Dharma Protector Team, and living Buddhas are not necessarily innate masters." He has excellent martial arts qualifications. Our Gyamtso is an exception. There are very few living Buddhas who can practice both civil and martial arts like him!" They talked all the way and returned home.
Everyone paid all kinds of attention to the sudden appearance of a monk from the Western Regions dressed in lama attire.
Only the Taylor girl was the boldest. She not only dared to come forward, but also walked around the Zhandui without concealing her exclamation.
This guy really lived up to her familiarity. It didn't take long for him to answer Zhan Dui's questions. He even dared to tease him face to face that his accent was not as good as hers.
Zhandui did not stay in Tibet for most of his life and never saw the world as people imagined. On the contrary, he had traveled to many places in China when he was young.
Moreover, their TVs can receive most of the mainland signals, and the previous problem of relative occlusion has long been solved.
Therefore, he was not surprised that a blond foreigner appeared in Liu Qingshan's home, and he could also speak fluent Mandarin.
It's just that his accent is the same as Taylor's, always with a thick accent. In this regard, he is not as good as Taylor. Although Xiao Nizi has not studied for a long time, she started learning from the most basic Chinese Pinyin under the guidance of a Chinese teacher.
Therefore, although she does not speak Mandarin as fluently as Zhan Dui, her accent is indeed much less pronounced. Liu Qingshan was planning to stop Taylor's somewhat impolite behavior. After all, Zhan Dui was a Buddhist monk, and no matter how close the relationship was, he couldn't be as frivolous as ordinary people.
But before he could say anything, Shi Hui hurried over with his cell phone in hand. Liu Qingshan picked it up and took a look. To his surprise, it was Martin Scorsese from the distant United States.
"Uncle Martin, has something happened? It's still midnight over there. If there's nothing urgent, you wouldn't think of calling me, would you?" His worry was real, and perhaps he felt the concern in his voice. Martin Happy laughter immediately came from there.
"It's rare for you to ask such a question! But in our line of work, how many of us can guarantee a fixed schedule?"
"That's true, as long as there is no accident on your side!"
"You should respect the old and love the young, so I won't praise you! I need your help with something. At the end of this month, our movie Ocean's Thirteen will be released worldwide, including you in the mainland of course! How many of us are there? You are all old, so just travel around a few nearby countries, and you will be responsible for it, and you will help us host the premiere!"
"No, the post-production of The Irishman has been completed a long time ago? According to the order, that one has to be released first!"
"My decision was made on the spur of the moment. It came from the opinions of Hollywood, and it was your Aunt Tracy who personally came to lobby!"
"You shouldn't. Why would Aunt Tracy care about your works?"
"February 25 this year is the Oscar ceremony. Trish's Chicago and The King's Speech have the highest chance of winning, and they are also the two biggest market hot spots, so the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences suggested that we delay the release by one month. By changing the date to the awards ceremony, they will help us get more theatrical schedules!"
"Let me tell you, Chicago is Aunt Tracy's first producer, and it may very well be her last. She should pay special attention to it! And the quality of our Irish people is also not bad. If we can catch the last train of last year's election, it will be great. I will definitely not win the award unexpectedly!”
"So, they think we need to make some changes to the release date, but the problem is that Universal is not very willing!"
"They also have a film selected for nomination this year? But knowing that there are two big hits, their film is in a worrying situation!"
"They are indeed not very confident in winning the final prize, but there is a very sharp competitive relationship between several major film companies. Universal and several other companies do not want the grand prize to be won so easily by their competitors, so they want our Chicago to also Participating in the chaos will scare them to the point of sweating!"
"Is it because of this that you have conflicts with Universal? And the dispute continues to this point?"
"I can't hide anything from you! Yes, I called you just after I came out of that conference room."
"How do you always convince them?"
"It's easy, you!"
"Well, old man, it's a little bad to do this. I'm a disaster coming from the sky. How can I be your scapegoat from such a distance?"
"Don't come here! Do you dare to say that you are not part of the season film collaboration team?" The Chinese translation of season is season, which was jointly formed by Martin and four old Hollywood movie kings.
Their reputations are great and their status in the industry is extremely high, but the problem is that as they get older, they get fewer and fewer opportunities to be announced.
In addition, the five of them have been friends for many years. They have long discussed doing something together, and they even want to retire later.
The bigger problem is that the net worth of each of them is at the ceiling of the industry. If they co-star, the combined net worth will be a terrifying sky-high price, which no film company is willing to bear.
Furthermore, the mode of operation they adopt is to adhere to the cooperation method with several top Hollywood film companies, so they are collaborators with these super capital parties, not competitors.
In addition, their participation method is in the name of the studio and as a studio shareholding. Their notification fees do not need to occupy the investment share, but will be digested internally in the form of profit distribution in the later period.
Don’t forget that Liu Qingshan’s script is a golden brand with more market appeal. If those capitals join in, it will be an investment choice that everyone will be happy with.
Liu Qingshan smiled bitterly: "I was willing to invest in the script because of my personal friendship with you seniors. Besides, I don't have the right to share profits in your team, I just get some screenwriting fees!"
"What you said is a bit ungrateful! Will you come to us for development sooner or later in the future? When we get old, the season team will only be handed over to you. Is there anything wrong in asking you to pay earlier? Don't you think Are you on the same team as us?"
"Okay, okay, it's up to you what you think! But take me as an example, will they blame me for this? You know, I am so young and I am Chinese, they I can’t afford to offend any of them for the time being!”
"What do they think of you? Besides, they also have shares in Ireland, but their proportion is not as high as that of Warner! That movie has a high box office, which is only beneficial to them!"
"Then why did they choose to stick to the date?"
"It's not the idea of a few old guys on the board of directors of their companies. The older you get, the more you remember the past grudges. On the contrary, today's management pays more attention to the benefits! So I can only come up with You are a trump card. The old guys may have some opinions about you, but the management here will not think so. Instead, they will think that they can use this opportunity to get closer to you!" Liu Qingshan was actually annoyed by Martin's nagging. I already felt tired, so I simply stopped worrying about this topic.
"I still have a question. It's only more than a month before the premiere. How do you always enter our mainland market? As far as I know, our country has always been cautious in the introduction of this aspect, even if there is a willingness to introduce , this time is too short, so short that I don’t know anything about it!”
"You want to know? Then you have to promise me something!"
"Come on, I don't want to know anymore. I have no interest in standing up for your movie. Now this news is trying to trick me into agreeing to something. It's not like I don't know Mr. Han. I'll ask myself if there's any additional information. pay!"
"Why, are you angry? Well, let me tell you! The first major event after the establishment of season was to sign a cooperation agreement with Mr. Han's Huaying, and it is not restricted by your Chinese overseas film quota!" One sentence is convincing enough.
Liu Qingshan knew very well that China Film Group, the only company with the authority to introduce overseas cultural products into the mainland market, had great authority, and he also understood the necessity of forward-looking strategies by Martin and others.
Because the season team's film works only produce scripts provided by Liu Qingshan, this first eliminates the possibility that future works may contain content that is detrimental to China.
Moreover, this team is really too strong. If China wants to take the initiative to introduce it in the future, it may not suffer from Hollywood's unforeseen tricks, such as the conditions for matching and other unfair treatment issues.
For China Film and the domestic market, projects related to Liu Qingshan are worth introducing, and the film itself already has a terrifyingly powerful creative team.
Therefore, the works produced by season, apart from the limited introduction quota each year, are in line with the current extreme shortage of domestic entertainment regardless of market demand or the needs of the mainland's external cultural promotion.
Of course Mr. Han couldn't make the decision on his own. He must have consulted the superiors in advance. With policy permission, he and Huaying could sign a contract with Martin.
The primary factor here is of course Liu Qingshan, and Han Shanping, who has been in the industry for decades, knows that the political and cultural environment in the mainland still has great restrictions on the creation of cultural works.
