Maybe it was because I didn't sleep well for two days, plus I traveled a long distance, plus I returned to a familiar environment at home. In addition, although the problem was not completely solved, the trend was very good, and the pressure was suddenly relieved.
The alarm clock was set to 8:30, but when I woke up, I found that I had forgotten to charge it and had turned it off.
Quickly plug in the power and take this time to finish washing up. Oh, it's already half past ten.
I'm still sleepy, but I can't sleep anymore. I need to adjust to the jet lag.
There were a lot of missed calls, many of them from artist friends, and the first one to reply was definitely Liu Minghua.
"I'm really sorry, I overslept."
"It's okay, just asking, do I need to ask Xiaoming to pick you up?"
"No, I'll just take a taxi there. What's going on?" Qin Xiaobao held his mobile phone on his shoulder and sat there wearing socks.
"Well, don't be too anxious. You haven't had breakfast yet. I'll prepare it."
"OK."
When we walked out of the building, the sun was in the sky, and it was very warm and comfortable. Many elderly people in the community were sitting there chatting and basking in the sun, which was quite comfortable.
Qin Xiaobao's originally hurried pace also slowed down a bit. He arrived five minutes earlier and arrived late, which made no difference.
After walking out of the community, I was lucky. Someone got out of the car and wandered to the office. It was past eleven o'clock.
"Good lunch, Xiao Qian."
"Oh, Mr. Qin is back." The lady at the front desk waved happily: "Mr. Liu and the others are in the conference room 2."
"OK."
"Hello, Mr. Qin."
"Long time no see, Mr. Qin."
Entering the company, employees greeted me one after another.
"Hello everyone, you've been working hard these days. It's Friday, right? Well, I'll treat you tonight."
"yeah!!!"
Entering the conference room, there were still a few more people than yesterday, mostly from the publishing company.
"What a coincidence, we actually have food to eat tonight." Mr. Huang smiled and stood up to shake hands with him.
"Mr. Huang is in good spirits. I didn't wake up until after ten o'clock." Qin Xiaobao handed the phone to Xiaoming and asked him to help charge it.
"As I get older, I don't sleep much. I still envy you young people." Mr. Huang said politely.
Qin Xiaobao is not in a hurry to eat. Hasn't everyone been in the office for a while and is being asked to wait? It's not very appropriate.
"Let's talk about it. What's going on now?"
"Actually, it's almost the same as last night. Is it midnight in Europe? Is it the United States? South Korea has posted a lot of comments, or is it still like that? Good or bad, we take seven points." Liu Minghua was the one who spoke.
"More and more directors and media are participating in the discussion. Our film was posted on Twitter for 20 hours, with more than 30 million views and hundreds of thousands of comments.
A small number of comments are very extreme? Maybe they are trolls, or they are just watching the excitement and don't take it too seriously.
But in general, the general direction of public opinion remains unchanged.
Director Spielberg also stood up."
"Yo? What did the old man say?"
"Is it dangerous for a director to go to Berlin now?"
"It's amazing enough," Qin Xiaobao said happily: "This is murder and heart-breaking."
"Who says it's not? He has said so. It is estimated that in a few hours, the organizers will take action." Liu Minghua naturally knows what the international director means by saying this: "It is worth mentioning, because it looks like
There are a lot of people watching the movie. The Rotten Tomatoes index of the movie is 93%, and the IMBA score is 8.4. If it is released in the United States, it will probably do well at the box office!"
"Forget it!" Mr. Huang shook his head: "High ratings don't mean we make money. If there are no theaters now, movies used to give away money. It doesn't matter if they can sell two million. They just drink soup and can't finish it.
The trouble is not worth the loss, it’s too dark!”
"Mr. Huang has suffered losses before?"
"More than once, I have worked on a film directed by Zhang Yimou. Anyway, I was busy for three months, and the box office was not bad, with more than 30 million US dollars. At the end of the day, Mader did not earn even 1 million, and it was still RMB." Huang.
The president waved his hand: "Don't mention it, unless you have the opportunity to cooperate with American investors in the future. In addition to the director's salary, there is also a share. If you are a top director, you can get 20%. It's terrible."
"Thank you for your good words, I hope there will be such a day." Everyone likes to hear good things, and Qin Xiaobao is no exception: "What's the situation at home?"
"The official media have come out to support the show, and other media must be cooperating. No matter what, this will be a good face, and it is a bit like losing something and reaping the benefits." Liu Minghua did not prepare any extra information. Most of the news
It's all a matter of changing the soup without changing the medicine: "The General Administration called me this morning and gave instructions.
As long as you are reasonable, don’t be afraid and deal with it head-on with confidence and boldness.”
What he said is no longer subtle, just let Kiwi, Qin Xiaobao, and the official media come to an end. If you suddenly fall off the chain, it will definitely not work.
"Okay, you can discuss what to do. I'm not good at publicity or anything like that." Qin Xiaobao patted the table a few times: "The boss has already taken care of it, so don't be cowardly. Foreign parties have to trouble Mr. Huang to pay more attention to it.
If you need our cooperation, just ask."
"No problem, I'll take care of it. I've been making movies for so many years, and this is the first time I've competed with an international film festival. When I retire in a few years, I can still have money to talk to. No loss, no loss." Mr. Huang took the photo.
Patting his chest: "It's just a pity. If this happened during the release period, the box office would have been at least 100 million more.
Don't get me wrong, I mean you can't avoid the situation." Realizing that what he said was a bit inappropriate, Mr. Huang quickly explained.
"It's okay, I understand." Qin Xiaobao didn't care.
"Director Qin, what if Berlin apologizes in the afternoon? What are you going to do?"
Qin Xiaobao thought about this issue after learning the format last night.
"Now, we are riding a tiger and have no choice but to go down the road. Without the intervention of CCTV and state media, it would be a big deal. But now, even if the other party apologizes and allows the film to be exhibited as needed, it still cannot agree.
Whatever you say is what you say, and it's definitely fine for individuals. It's okay to bow your head occasionally, but the country is in trouble, and individuals and companies are no longer important.
You persist, I continue to argue, you apologize and I accept it, but do you want to go back?
impossible!
I am also a person with a temper. You didn't say a word at first, but now that the situation is not good, you just want to be soft and try to expose it. The cost is too low.
Although it is not the organizer who caused the trouble at all, there is something wrong with your tolerance and connivance. Otherwise, why would so many directors from all over the world come out to complain about me?"
Qin Xiaobao may have been too aggrieved before, but now he speaks freely. If he doesn't vent his anger in his own territory, it will be bad for his health.
After chatting for a while, under Liu Minghua's hint, they found an excuse to leave the conference room and went to Xiang Yang's office.
The big dog didn't sleep all night and hasn't come to work yet.
"Mr. Qin, let me report to you on Hu Ge's progress!"
