On the night when the first trial transaction was officially finalized, Gu Ao took the opportunity to communicate with Tiffany about the latest situation.

In order to avoid people's eyes, he once again asked Tiffany to practice singing with karaoke.

Then the girl used the reason that she didn't want to be heard by someone to be heard, hoping to surprise her mother after practicing, and lure her tiger away from the mountain to the bodyguards around her.

"You are so bad! You keep telling me not to tell my mother that you want to do business with her, but afterwards, you go to show off again! Aren't you fooling me, uh?"

Tiffany, whose IQ is not enough to understand Gu Ao's layout, couldn't help complaining.

Gu Ao explained breathlessly: "Can this be the same? Telling her will only make her doubt why you spoke for me, and it will be different if I say it myself.

Besides, I am not in a hurry to prove to you: the business I negotiated with your mother is really beneficial to both sides. It will benefit China and Monaco, and everyone will make a fortune.

You think, your mother has seen the world. The business she agreed to without knowing that I have extra friendship with you can be a bad thing. Now I know, even if I have nothing to do with you, I will cooperate with you for the purpose of benefiting everyone. From now on, you will listen to me, that's right. I'll read a lot and will not lie to you."

It is really not an easy job to combine vocabulary language and body language to deceive people. Gu Ao almost lacks blood supply to his brain.

"Woo... I'm too lazy to use my brain, okay, I just believe you..."

Gu Ao lay weakly on the side of the sofa: "What are your follow-up schedules? When will you go back to France?"

Tiffany's eyes, which had already narrowed slightly, suddenly opened wide again: "Drive me away?"

Gu: "What are you thinking? I just signed up for cooperation, and the superiors approved me the authority. In the future, whenever you receive your Monaco royal family, you can just ask for it. So if you want to play until the end of the summer vacation, I can accompany you, and no one will doubt it."

Tiffany pouted: "This is almost the same. Well, my mother will definitely not allow me to delay the school starts. At most, travel in China for another week. But there is nothing fun in Beijing, and I'm tired of it. Can you take me to other cities?"

Gu Ao carefully helped plan: "Where do you want to go? Moreover, Mr. Bettorucci is currently being stung by cultural people and is inspecting and collecting folks every day. If the director doesn't let anyone go, will it be okay for you to divide it into two groups?"

Director Bettorucci was originally just covering up Princess Kelly's team, but this smoke bomb itself attracted the attention of the culture and now it can't be escaped.

Tiffany thought for a while: "Then let's act according to the opportunity. Tomorrow I will ask my mother to confirm the situation with Mr. Bettorucci. If necessary, you can negotiate with them.

As for where to go to play in the future... I want to go to the south to see it, maybe it's more interesting. Gu, where is your home? Is it fun there?"

Gu Ao told frankly: "My home is very dilapidated. Ten years ago, my mentor said: The beautiful West Lake, the dilapidated city. I'm afraid you will not adapt. If you are willing to see the gardens in Jiangnan, there is no problem.

Also, it’s very hot in the south, and all hotels do not have air conditioning, so I’m afraid it will be out of tune. You’d better explain all the difficulties to your mother when asking for instructions.”

After being trained by Gu Ao, Tiffany finally became a little mature director a little bit, and the degree of unreasonableness was reduced a lot. In the end, she listened to Gu Ao's unpleasant advice and decided to communicate with the princess first, instead of crying, making a fuss or hanging herself.

...

The next day, Gu Ao, who had already completed his main task, went to the private office and ordered Mao after confirming that there was no urgent matter to be dealt with.

He said hello to his colleague, called his former classmate Lu Jianjun to confirm his itinerary, and then drove out.

He kicked the accelerator and rushed to the Cultural External Liaison Bureau. Lu Jianjun and the female translator who knew Italian last time heard the sound of cars, he went downstairs to pick him up, and then the group went up to the reception room.

Lu Jianjun has been here all these days, and it seems that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs attaches great importance to this matter. At least he is willing to send a section chief in the Concierge Department to cooperate with the itinerary with the culture side throughout the journey.

While climbing the stairs, Lu Jianjun literate with Gu Ao: "Mr. Bettorucci has visited the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and other things these days. The director got the instructions from above and showed Mr. Bettorucci a lot of modern historical materials, as well as some recent scripts from CTV.

Finally, he decided to instigate him to film "The Last Emperor", and used Puyi's "My First Half of Life" as the source of the story. I heard that documentaries of tragic figures in modern history are easier to win awards, and they have a sense of heaviness. I heard that Europeans are not all good at this, and they must have tragedy to get awards.

The director and other leaders are not here today. Today, the people from China Film Co-production Company are lobbying with Mr. Bettorucci, who should be discussing some details. At present, Mr. Bettorucci is still very interested. You can also help mediate later."

When Gu Ao heard this, he couldn't help laughing in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the relevant departments finally took out the draft script that had only been written for a few months and sold the TV series "The Last Emperor" in history. However, it took three years to write it, from 1981 to 1984, and then started filming in 1985. After the filming, Bettorucci was invited to record the art film.

Unexpectedly, the script has not yet been recorded, and the relevant departments have not tried it themselves. Just because Bettorucci came to China in advance, he hurriedly took it out and showed it.

The two chatted and soon arrived at the reception room.

Gu Ao saw Betorucci with an Italian assistant at first sight, and two Chinese people in suits were sitting on the other side, with big backs combed, probably the executives of the Co-Photo Company.

"Oh, Gu, I'm very happy to see you. How I'm talking to someone like you who knows things." When Bettorucci saw Gu Ao for the first time, he gave Gu Ao a straightforward question.

If you say this, the leader will have an objection to me!

Gu Ao complained in his mind.

Do Italians are so casual and disrespectful to administrative leadership?

He could only smile awkwardly and politely at the two men in suits with big backs.

Fortunately, the other party recognized Gu Ao and knew that everyone was not in the same system, so they didn't mind.

"Comrade Xiao Gu, right? I have been revered for a long time. Let me introduce myself. I, Qiao Yinghua, is the deputy general manager of China Film Co-Photographer. This is Xiao Hu from our business department.

I heard that Comrade Xiao Gu has many friends who speak in Xiangjiang and Hollywood. In the future, I will hope that you will introduce more foreign resources to our co-production company. This time, Mr. Bettorucci is so big, so Comrade Xiao Gu invited him to China?”

When Gu Ao thought about it, he knew that his face was remembered. Other domestic units may not care about him, but foreign-related film institutions must have specifically learned about what Chinese backgrounds have become popular in foreign countries.

It is difficult for Gu Ao to avoid being noticed by Sir Shao and Cameron's cooperation.

Alas, it’s not good to be famous. Others respect you very much as soon as they meet. There is no chance of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

Gu Ao shook hands with a serious look on his face and greeted him: "Mr. Qiao, you are polite. I am ashamed. I was not familiar with Mr. Betorucci at first. This time, a friend of mine came to China for a trip. I didn't want to attract attention, so I asked Mr. Betorucci to cover him. I didn't expect you to jump out and intercept him."

While he exchanged greetings, he calculated the other party's administrative level in his mind.

The Hepai Company should be a department-level unit, with a high-end half-pack at most. Then Qiao Yinghua should be the department official, and there is not much difference between Gu Ao.

The so-called "co-production company" is just a common name, and its official scientific name is "China Film Cooperative Production Company". It is an English abbreviation. It is a central enterprise established in 1979 according to the documents of the National Wu Academy. Now it has exclusive operating rights for filming overseas films in China.

When Gu Ao was working on "Hujiangtan" with Shaw Brothers two years ago, because it was just a TV series, not a movie. And after filming, he did not intend to introduce the playback as soon as possible, so he bypassed it and it was not a mistake.

Last year, when he cooperated with Great Wall Pictures of Hong Kong, the procedures of the domestic side were all formal. However, Gu Ao only helped to contact a protagonist and martial arts coach, and did not participate in shares or distribute interests, so these were not his business.

In general, Gu Ao doesn't like dealing with him or even taking a stake in co-production films.

This policy is too risky and attracts hatred. At the same time, the ticket price of movies in China is destined to make no profit in the domestic box office, and it is all a pork rib business. Even if you have a good opportunity, choosing to buy a reputation and implant it in soft and broadband is much better than the idea of ​​a joint venture.

Unless Gu Ao directly plays the role of a foreign investment party, that is an exception.

After a while of greeting, Gu Ao roughly understood Betoruc's current position and how far the negotiations between the two sides have progressed.

What surprised Gu Ao was that Bettorucci had no resistance to taking on this job and was already willing to do it.

The current differences are reflected in the protection of independent creative rights. Betoruc was very surprised that China was willing to give the highest level of preferential treatment in hardware cooperation, but in terms of the final script review rights, he was reluctant to let go.

During the mediation process of the three parties, Gu Ao heard Qiao Yinghua emphasize again:

"Mr. Bettorucci, please respect our laws. According to my country's current policies and relevant documents, whether all Chinese and foreign co-production scripts are harmonious must be sent to the General Administration for review of whether they are harmonious, and then a filming license is issued. It is allowed to formally sign a co-production contract with the foreign party and issue a letter of appointment to the director.

Before the review, we can only sign a 'cooperation intention agreement' instead of a formal joint shooting contract. However, this is just a legal form. I believe that a famous director like Mr. Bettorucci will definitely bring you a bunch of production companies to take the program for you."

Betorucci: "What are you talking about now? You should first approve the script and give it to me for review. If I am willing to shoot this script, I will naturally accept it. If there is no script, do you have any intention of finalizing it with me! As a great artist, we will not succumb to a script that distorts the facts! This is my professional ethics!"

Qiao Yinghua was helpless: "Isn't this the script far from being written? Anyway, you just believe us. We will not use scripts that distort history to deceive your industry reputation."
Chapter completed!
