After reuniting with the giant bamboo horse, I became popular [entertainment circle]

In the past few days, Director Huang and Assistant Yang have been negotiating with film producers from various countries.

Although "Summer" was nominated as a finalist, both parties are in a wait-and-see attitude because the final awards have not yet been announced.

After all, award-winning films and non-award-winning films are not the same price.

The contacts in the past few days are not all fruitless. "Summer" more or less sold the screening rights to several small countries, and received hundreds of thousands of euros back, as well as the follow-up share agreed in the contract. good head.

This amount of money may not seem large, but it can basically cover the cost of general literary films - of course "Summer" is not among them. The cost of "Summer" may be comparable to that of small-produced Hollywood commercial films.

But after careful calculation, Huang Anguo realized with joy that the movie would definitely pay off.

After all, recently, he has actively contacted not only several traditional big film studios in Europe, but also Hollywood brokers in the United States, and even film studios in Asia and South America.

Currently the highest offer is from a Japanese publisher.

There are quite a lot of requests from the other party, one of which is to hope that the two leading actors can come to Japan to cooperate with the promotion when it is screened in Japan.

Maybe they naturally like this kind of subject matter?Director Huang guessed.

Li Huai was easy to talk to, but Boss He Da just fell ill and didn't even care about the film festival, let alone agree to such a request.

Anyway, "Summer" is not worried about selling now, so Director Huang put those people aside for the time being, and will talk about it after the awards ceremony.

In addition to contacting the film studio, everyone in the "Summer" crew also dealt with official or private dinner parties.

Assistant Yang and Huang Anguo attended the most banquets, and they had no time to relax almost every night. Business cards were sent out and picked up, and they were all calculated by box.

After all, this is networking.

Li Huai also went to a private banquet held by one or two directors and famous actors, and chatted with a director he liked very much, but he didn't like this kind of atmosphere.

He also visited the city of Berlin once, the exotic scenery is quite interesting, but that's all.

Afterwards, Li Huai either stayed in the movie theater to watch the movies he was interested in, or simply returned to the manor early to see the scenery and read a book, but he felt much more comfortable.

In the past few days, because he stayed in the manor for a long time, he gradually got acquainted with the screenwriter who lived next door.

Yan Binbai, the screenwriter of "Summer", was more taciturn than Li Huai. He never took the initiative to participate in any banquets. Even on the day of the premiere, he was like a silent shadow beside him, not saying a word.

After Li Huai got acquainted with him, he realized that this person was actually quite interesting.

Yan Binbai is in his forties, but maybe because he is too thin, he looks like he is in his early thirties at most. He lives abroad all year round, earns his living by writing, and likes to drink a little wine in his spare time. Usually a little more.

Li Huai knew before that the script of "Summer" had character prototypes, but unexpectedly, one of them was Yan Binbai himself.

That day, he probably drank a few more sips in his hand, looked at Li Huai in a daze, and suddenly smiled at him: "Your Shu Cheng acted very well, I saw him again these few nights."

Then suddenly burst into tears.

But there is something good about this person. He woke up after crying and drinking, and returned to his taciturn appearance.

On the contrary, when Li Huai faced Yan Binbai again, he was at a loss.

Yan Binbai doesn't like to talk, but every sentence hits the nail on the head. He probably sensed that Li Huai's attitude was wrong, so he raised his eyebrows: "Why, do you think I'm a weird homosexual, or do you sympathize with me?"

Li Huai hurriedly shook his head: "No, it's just...it feels like the characters in the book suddenly came to life."

Yan Binbai raised his eyebrows: "So seeing me is like seeing He Xijing? It's a pity, I don't have his pleasing face."

Obviously didn't say anything, Li Huai still felt a little blushing: "No, of course not..."

Yan Binbai sneered: "You young people, you don't know what you're thinking. If you like it, you can go for it. If you don't like it, you can change it. It's annoying to see it procrastinating."

Then he waved his hand and went back to drinking.

Li Huai scratched his head, a little dazed, thought for a while, and went back to his room to read.

Recently, he saw a good book and thought it would be interesting to adapt it into a movie, so he was addicted to it for a while.

Two days later, an unexpected person came to Berlin.

When he received the call, Li Huai thought that his manager had something to do. Unexpectedly, Sister Lan said at the beginning: "I'm in Berlin, see you in an hour."

Sister Lan has always been a vigorous and strong woman, but Li Huai did not expect that she would come directly to find him on an ocean-going flight.

At first, I thought that Sister Lan came here with some serious event, but she asked immediately, "Have you thought about the future development path?"

Li Huai blinked.

He just wanted to continue filming, and he really didn't think much about the rest.

Sister Lan snorted as expected.

"The old man couldn't hold on anymore, so he handed over the company to his son," Sister Lan said, "I just went to the hospital before I came here, and I chatted with the old man, and when you return to China, go see him too. "

"Of course." Li Huai nodded hurriedly.

If it wasn't for his father's care, it would be difficult for him to stay in the showbiz for so many years.

"The old man means, don't delay in the company any longer. Before I left, he took the initiative to sign a contract termination statement with you." Sister Lan's next sentence directly dropped a bombshell.

"Isn't there still half a year left?" Li Huai was a little silly.

Although the eldest young master was difficult to deal with, after all, Father Fu had taken care of him for so many years. He originally thought that even for this favor, he would renew the contract for two more years—if the company wanted it.

Unexpectedly, it was the other side who took the initiative to terminate the contract.

"I know you value love and righteousness," Sister Lan said, but it didn't sound like a compliment. "Don't worry, everyone is smart, and there won't be any disadvantages."

She quickly changed the subject: "I also terminated the contract with the company, how about it? Will you continue to pay me?"

Li Huai nodded stupidly.

I always feel that everything has suddenly changed drastically in places he doesn't know.

"By the way, you are also popular in China now, so be prepared when you go back," Sister Lan said, "In short, the most important thing now is to think about what you will do next, whether it is a variety show, a TV series, or a movie?"

Li Huai asked back, "Sister Lan, what suggestion do you have?"

"Originally, I couldn't..." She coughed, "I shouldn't interfere with your decision, but I can still briefly introduce the current situation to you."

After "Summer" was confirmed to be nominated, two variety shows took the initiative to contact them, and one of them was pried into a corner by Young Master Fu before.

There were also three TV dramas that handed over their notebooks, and the best character among them was the male lead, with a very good character design.

Only, the film industry is silent and still watching.

"Please show me the script," Li Huai said, "Let me think about it."

"Alright, you should think about it carefully. After all, after "Summer", how you take the first step is related to your future career layout." Sister Lan nodded, put down the script, and told Li Huai that she would live in the movie theater for a few days. In the hotel next to the palace, help him make more international contacts.

"The focus of our business in the future will definitely be in China, but we can never have too many contacts. Maybe we will use them at any time." She said, and then stepped on eight-inch high heels and walked away like a queen.

Just like when we came here, it was in a hurry, non-stop.

Looking at the three scripts on his desktop, Li Huai always felt that everything was fantastic.

Coming out of the private estate, Lan Xiaoli just got into the car and made a phone call: "I've arrived in Berlin, and I just talked to Li Huai, he hasn't figured out how to leave in the future."

"When he decides for himself, you will fully support him, and you don't have to worry about resource issues." There was a cold male voice on the other end of the phone.

"Don't worry, boss," Lan Xiaoli replied bluntly, "I've been taking care of Li Huai for so many years, when did something go wrong?"

The phone was hung up quickly, and Lan Xiaoli let out a sigh of relief.

She has known for a long time that Li Huai has a secret sponsor, and that person has set up a silent protective cover for Li Huai in the messy entertainment circle through Father Fu. for so many years.

Only a few months ago, she found out that the secret sponsor turned out to be the investor who she thought was stupid and rich, He Xijing.

Sometimes she is really envious of Li Huai's good luck, and sometimes she feels that this luck is actually not so good.

After being silently guarded by one person for so many years, the surroundings are densely packed with threads laid by him, but the person concerned still doesn't know anything about it.

Thinking about it carefully, Lan Xiaoli thought it was quite scary.

I don't know how Li Huai would react if he knew the truth.

She shook her head, as one of the minions, she decided it was better not to think too much.

Keep it a secret for as long as you can.

Lan Xiaoli cheered up, and soon joined Assistant Yang and Director Huang's team, and began to contact and arrange various contacts for her nominal boss Li Huai.

Thankfully, she finally came out of that cramped small company, and she also had a chance to show her talents.

Lan Xiaoli showed a perfect professional smile, fluent in English, German and French, wandering in the upper class film circle in Europe.

At this time, just like Lan Xiaoli said before, the country has already been exploded by "Summer".

All kinds of sporadic movie clips, posters, short video interviews, exaggerated praises from abroad, and high-score evaluations from the judges have continuously detonated one hot search after another.

Although some people questioned that this was a grand and false hype, there is no doubt that Li Huai, He Xijing, and Huang Anguo, who was shortlisted on the basis of his debut, have all become hot spots on the Internet recently.
