"Director Chen, do you know how many years it takes for the Oscars to be held? How many Oscars has it been this year? "Boss Jia asked suddenly.
"…" Director Chen looked at Boss Jia as if looking at an idiot. At the same time, he looked disdainful to answer.
"Answer me!" Boss Jia was so angry that Director Chen was startled. Then, he said angrily, "Isn't your question nonsense? Of course it's held once a year. This year is the 66th Oscars! "
"That's right!" Boss Jia smiled. "There's an Oscars every year. This is the 66th Oscars, which means that 66 movies have won the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar."
"However, the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar isn't the biggest award. The biggest award is the Best Picture Oscar. So far, 66 movies have won it!"
"In total, there are 132 movies. Farewell My Concubine is just one of the 132 movies. Do you really think that Farewell My Concubine is that great?"
"You … You …" Director Chen's face turned red. He looked at Boss Jia and took a few deep breaths before saying, "I'm not trying to prove how great I am, but Farewell My Concubine is the first movie in the country to win an Oscar. It's the best movie in the country!"
"No, in my heart, the best movie in the country is actually the 'Final Battle' series. Your 'Farewell My Concubine' is just some nonsense between a man and a woman. Compared to 'Final Battle', it's not even worth mentioning!" Boss Jia waved his hand.
"That kind of thing is worthy?" Director Chen looked at him with contempt.
"That's just my personal opinion. Does art not allow for personal opinions?" Boss Jia smiled and said, "Director Chen, I see that you're tired. Go back and rest!"
"I'm not leaving. Today, we have to make things clear!" Director Chen was really anxious. He suddenly realized that the Jia Yapeng in front of him didn't seem to be on the same side as him. There was a huge gap between them.
"Then what do you want to make clear?" Boss Jia asked calmly.
"Regarding the audit, you must support me! No one is allowed to touch him! " Director Chen said loudly, "Boss Jia, it doesn't matter if you don't dare to speak up. I just need you to remain silent. I naturally have a way to let them pass the review!"
Director Chen's speech wasn't wrong. In his previous life, before Farewell My Concubine had won an Oscar and had only won a series of international awards, the relevant departments had finally agreed to Director Chen's insistence on not cutting anything.
The only thing they requested was that they could not do any promotional activities or participate in any domestic awards.
It could be said that Director Chen and "Farewell My Concubine" were quite impressive to be able to force the relevant departments to make such a decision.
Now that "Farewell My Concubine" had won an Oscar in his previous life, things were naturally different. Therefore, Boss Jia believed that Director Chen would succeed in the end.
But was that really a good idea?
Boss Jia couldn't help but recall something that had happened when he was with Natasha in the United States.
That was when they attended the premiere ceremony. As his female companion, Natasha naturally attended the whole movie premiere ceremony. However, after the screening, Natasha instinctively sighed, "It turns out that you Huaxia people are still living in such deep water and scorching hot days without freedom!"
When Boss Jia had heard that, he had felt as if a thorn had pierced his heart. However, he had quickly forgotten about it.
Now that he thought about it, could such a movie really show the world the true Hua Xia?
Wasn't this equivalent to handing the world a knife that would hurt Hua Xia?
Also, are all the movies that can win awards at home and abroad, without exception, all of them have the taste of revealing the truth?
However, Boss Jia could also film the United States version of this so-called "truth reveal" from thousands of angles.
Thinking of this, Boss Jia felt that he had made a huge mistake.
"I can't do such things in the future. If I want to learn, I should learn from Hollywood. The United States will always be the great heroes that save the world!" During the conversation with Director Chen, Boss Jia gradually had a clear and definite idea in his heart.
Therefore, Boss Jia stood up and said, "You don't have to worry about the movie. I will negotiate with the relevant departments to deal with it!"
"Really?" Director Chen looked at Boss Jia doubtfully. Then, his expression became much better. "In that case, we have nothing to argue about. Boss Jia, you've also helped me in my hour of need. I'm preparing to shoot a movie called 'Wind and Moon'. Everything is already in the process of preparation. "
"I can give the Daqian 30% of the investment quota for this movie. The investment is about 20 million. Don't think it's too little. I have already reserved as much as possible for you because of our relationship. Many people want to invest 10% with 10 million, but I don't agree because there are too many people who want to invest. I have to give face to everyone …" Director Chen rambled. However, Boss Jia didn't understand that Director Chen was being kind. He just said lightly, "Since you have to give face to so many people, then I will forget about it. You don't have to look for me for this investment."
"You really don't want this rare investment opportunity?" Director Chen was shocked. He thought that Boss Jia would immediately be grateful and invest in him. He didn't expect that Jia Yapeng would actually refuse. Did he know how many people wanted to invest in Director Chen's new movie?
This was a sure-win deal!
"I have two movies that I have invested in that are about to be released. I am not in the mood to care about other movies. Director Chen, please do as you wish!" Boss Jia said.
"That shipwreck and the animated movie?" Director Chen seemed to have heard the funniest joke. He couldn't help but laugh. Then, he said, "If that's the case, then I won't force you. We will work together again in the future!"
Director Chen really had a lot of investors behind him who wanted to throw money at him. He was no longer the person who almost knelt down and begged Boss Jia to invest in him. Therefore, he didn't try to persuade him anymore.
"Okay!" Boss Jia snorted softly. It wasn't clear whether he agreed or refused.
The two of them parted just like that.
The next day, Boss Jia went to Uncle Zhou's office to see him.
"Xiao Jia, I asked you to come here today mainly because I have something to discuss with you!" Uncle Zhou sighed and said, "I heard that you are the one who invested in the movie 'Farewell My Concubine'. You are the producer and investor of this movie. You know that some things about this movie have caused quite a stir recently. We are also under a lot of pressure. Director Chen is not willing to do anything, but the public opinion is a little out of control. Therefore, I hope that you can help us and persuade Director Chen to make some changes …? "
It was obvious that Director Chen was under a lot of pressure, but so was Uncle Zhou. Both of them were under a lot of pressure.
In history, it seemed that Uncle Zhou failed and couldn't withstand the pressure. In the end, he could only nod and agree.
"Okay!" To Uncle Zhou's surprise, Boss Jia agreed without hesitation.
"You agreed to persuade Director Chen to act?" Uncle Zhou was instantly happy when he heard that.
"No!" Boss Jia shook his head. Uncle Zhou's face was about to turn black again.
"What I mean is that Director Chen doesn't need to persuade him. Just make some changes to 'Farewell My Concubine'. In the end, change the ending to Chen Dieyi being saved by the ZF. Then, the two of them live a normal life until today. They are already in their seventies and eighties, but they are still alive and enjoying their old age in a nursing home!" Boss Jia said.
"That's great!" Uncle Zhou smiled with satisfaction when he heard that. However, he was a little confused after that. "Xiao Jia, are you kidding me? Do you really have the ability to persuade Director Chen to make such changes? "
"I said that he doesn't need to persuade me because I am the producer and producer of this movie. I have the final editing and distribution rights of this movie. As long as I decide to make changes, I can make them. It has nothing to do with Director Chen. He can't change anything because I am the owner of this movie! "Boss Jia said.
"That's great! Xiao Jia, come to my house for dinner today. I will ask my auntie to cook some of her best dishes for you! " Uncle Zhou laughed heartily. His love for Boss Jia was genuine this time.
