Wang Ping was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect that this foreign man who was not well-known and unknown would be the winner of the Oscar for Best Director. Although she had never seen the name of the movie "Chicago", she had also heard of it.

She couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow, my God! Sorry, I was really disrespectful just now."

rob shook his head: "No, I'm the one who should say this. I didn't expect that Jane was the female model in the promotional photo." He paused and looked at Wang Ping seriously and asked, "By the way, my new movie requires a lot of fresh Asian faces. Are you interested in trying it?"

Wang Ping was stunned when she heard this. Even Lin Qiao might as well make such a request.

Lin Qiao first glanced at Wang Ping, then said in surprise at rob: "You don't want her to act in that movie we are talking about, right?"

rob nodded and looked at Wang Ping: "Since you are John's friend, I'll tell the truth. I'm telling him to invest in my new film, adapted from Arthur Gordon's best-selling novel of the same name in the United States in 1997. In order to make this film Steven Spielberg for four years, our investors have been changing. He retired to the second line last year and became the producer of the film, and the company asked me to be the director of the film. I'm very optimistic about this film. Although it's very difficult to direct, I'm confident that it will become my second time to enter the Oscars. Now I have selected several major actresses, all of you Chinese big stars. I still need a few young girls to play a few supporting roles. I wonder if you are interested in trying it?"

Wang Ping suddenly heard rob say such a suggestion. She couldn't help but feel moved. But after thinking about it, she asked, "Don't know what movie it is?"

I am reborn from the future. If it is an Oscar-winning film or a Hollywood production starring a Chinese actress, I must have heard of it. Then I can judge whether she wants to try it.

rob said, "Yes..." Just as he was about to speak, a man called him came from behind: "Mr. Marshall, Mr. Marshall!"

Rob turned around with a little displeasure because his words were interrupted, and saw a young man wearing glasses running out of the corridor inside. He walked to Rob and smiled and said, "Mr. Marshall. Are you okay? You haven't been back for so long. Director Dong asked me to come out and take a look."

rob shook his head impatiently: "I'm fine, I just met two friends."

The young man should be the translator of rob. His pronunciation is indeed a bit strange, full of strong Chinese accents. Although Wang Ping can understand what he expressed, he could stand by. But as rob said, it sounded quite laborious, he didn't seem to have any confidence in his speech, and his pronunciation was not very accurate. This made Wang Ping a little doubtful, isn't the great emperor full of talents? How could he send such a person to be the translator of an internationally renowned director? Although the director himself has never heard of it. But winning the Oscar is a big sign, which is enough to attract attention.

When rob said this, he suddenly remembered it and turned to Wang Ping and asked, "jane, by the way, I heard John talk about the competition you participated in. Is it necessary to broadcast the largest TV channel here? Tonight, the boss of their largest TV channel is also here. Should I go over and sit together?"

Wang Ping was slightly stunned when she heard this. She looked at Lin Qiao and was about to talk when she saw several extremely powerful middle-aged men coming up from behind. Seeing Robert standing there, she came over and talked to him.

The group of them walked up to Wang Ping and Lin Qiao and glanced at them in surprise. It was extremely rare for them to speak to rob to be his admitted friend or Chinese. Therefore, Director Dong couldn't help but take a few more glances.

It was the first guest behind him to recognize Lin Qiao's identity and quickly introduced to them: "This is Lin Qiao, chairman of Qiantai Group Company, and an outstanding representative of Chinese businessmen in the world. In recent years, he has made great contributions to the country in investing."

He is worthy of being from the officialdom and has made a big fuss after a few words. Not to mention how rich Lin Qiao is, but only said that he has made great contributions to the country. Everyone immediately understood that this is a big name in the business world. Besides, Qiantai Jewelry's famous name is well-known. After hearing his introduction, the people present suddenly saw Lin Qiao's eyes full of enthusiasm.

"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to be so destined. Since I could meet Mr. Lin here, why not go in and have a drink together? We just opened a bottle of Latu for 1982. I wonder if Mr. Lin and this lady would like to appreciate the glory?" Director Dong saw Wang Ping standing between Lin Qiao and rob, with a natural and generous expression, and was not a charming look. He knew that Wang Ping was probably not just a simple female companion. He even greeted them very politely. "Lin Qiao couldn't help but exclaim when she heard this, turned back to Wang Ping and asked, "Are you interested? Latu for 1982 is rare? Oh, by the way, you'd better not drink."

When Wang Ping heard Lin Qiao say this, she suddenly remembered that she lost her composure after drinking and smashed the hotel after eating a little drunk chicken. She suddenly turned red and felt embarrassed.

Director Dong didn't know that story. Seeing Wang Ping lowered her head and smiled embarrassedly, she thought she couldn't drink, so she smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't drink. I'll let them squeeze two pieces of freshly squeezed juice to raise it? The pomegranate juice here is pretty good, and the sour and sweet thing is just right for you young girls to drink."

Rob on the side also greeted them, "Let's sit together for a while, just talk to you about investment."

Lin Qiao was so kind that she looked at Wang Ping with inquiring eyes. Wang Ping nodded at him and said with a smile: "Okay."

The group of people walked to the box on the other side together. At the dinner party, Wang Ping heard them talk for a while before she realized that everyone present was the big names in the China Radio and Television Media: Dong Gang, Director of the China Radio and Television Bureau, and Han Wuping, Chairman of China Film Group, were both present, as well as senior executives of state-owned and private film companies in China, including Xiao Ma Pentium, DMG, Light, Huashi and other Chinese state-owned and private film companies. The most talked with them was how to make his new movies enter the Chinese market by making Sino-US co-production films.

Lin Qiao was afraid that Wang Ping would be bored, so she explained to her softly in English: "If rob's new film enters China as an imported film, the producer will eventually get a box office ratio of 13%, but if he can get the "co-production film", the film company can enjoy the same 43% share ratio as domestic films. Taking a movie that gets a box office of 1 billion yuan as an example, based on imported films, the American film company will get 13% or 130 million yuan; and if calculating on co-production films, the American square can get 430 million yuan.

There is a gap of 300 million yuan when it goes back and forth, so no wonder Americans are tempted. This time, the three protagonists of the new rob film have been used by the Chinese, so I want to talk about this matter."

When Wang Ping heard Lin Qiao say that, a strong curiosity surged in her heart. Which Hollywood blockbuster is starring in three Chinese people?

The answer seemed to be about to come out, and there was a little idea in my mind, but I couldn't remember the exact name.

The project was approved in 2004, and it will probably not be released in 2005 or 2006... Could it be...

Wang Ping was just about to ask if it was the film, but Lin Qiao continued to talk. Wang Ping felt that it was impolite to interrupt someone else's words, so she moved her mouth and refused to ask first.

Lin Qiao said: "However, in the eyes of the United States, as long as the filmmakers of China and the United States have in-depth cooperation in the investment and production of a film, then this film can be called "China-US co-production film". However, China has its own definition of "co-production film". In the first half of this year, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television of your country issued the "Regulations on the Management of Sino-Foreign Cooperative Film Production". "Co-production film" is defined as three forms, namely joint filming: jointly invested by both China and foreign countries and jointly produced; collaborative filming: that is, foreign parties contributed, and China provides equipment, venues, and labor for a fee; commissioned filming: that is, foreign parties only use the form of entrusting China to film on their behalf in China. In short,

It’s not enough to have Chinese actors alone to participate, but they are also filmed in China. The story must be related to China. If the Chinese are the protagonists.”

Wang Ping couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "How do you understand so clearly? Is your jewelry company going to change careers and enter the movie entertainment industry?"

Lin Qiao shook her head and smiled, "You know, our company's group business is very wide, and we have always cooperated with the film and entertainment industry. The jewelry in the previous movie of rob were also sponsored by our company. This time he came to me to discuss cooperation and investment. Although this movie was adapted from the best-selling American book, it describes a Japanese geisha. The main actors he appointed were Chinese. If one of these mixed-match films is not good, it will be thankless. They cannot please the audience everywhere, and they will become a four-dimensional person."

So Lin Qiao was extremely careful and has not officially made a commitment to continue investing in rob so far.

One of the big reasons why he agreed to come in and sit together today is that he also wanted to know how big the concept of a Sino-US co-production film between Rob and China is.

To this day, the cake in the Chinese market is getting bigger and bigger, and they all want to come in and take a bite.
