"Hello, Director Rosenberg."

"Hello, Mr. Han."

Just after passing the red carpet, he walked into the VIP waiting area and met alone. The two had a formal meeting yesterday. Duke held it lightly and heavily in the hands that Zuoshan Diao reached out. He was a person who valued etiquette and would not be too rude or too enthusiastic.

The two shook hands, and Zuo Shan Diao took the initiative to introduce the guests here to Duke, who were basically the people he once needed to look up to. Now that Duke is also very touched when he sees them politely shook hands with him.

But it was once very far away. People with Duke's personality could not have any other expressions. Just like attending the Hollywood premiere and the red carpet, he just faced these people with his usual attitude.

Compared with these directors and producers, the stars who came here are much more enthusiastic.

In fact, the actors here are not stupid at all and know that they can't really enter Hollywood. For example, Miss Zhang, the reason why they are sharp-headed and sucked into Hollywood is that if they can get opportunities in Hollywood, they will have a big increase in their value and status after returning to China. In the entertainment industry here, exports to domestic sales are quite marketable.

Unfortunately, before the theater chains here really developed, Duke had no intention of using Asian actors to play heavy roles, and some villains were not suitable for people here to play, otherwise, like the former Dark Knight, they would probably fall to the point where they could not pass the trial.

As for taking the actors and movie circles here to rush into Hollywood and the whole world, Duke is not stupid and has not forgotten his current identity.

Moreover, if a country's movies want to spread all over the world, it is never a problem that the movie itself can decide.

In just over twenty minutes, Duke couldn't remember how many people he had greeted. Unlike the ones hello to ordinary movie fans in Chinese on the red carpet, in such a formal occasion that was close to the official, he used all in English, very polite and polite, while maintaining a necessary distance.

Showing Chinese requires different occasions. It makes no sense to show Chinese with these people who are almost all good at showing them. They will never feel close to Duke like ordinary audiences. Even if he speaks Chinese as fluent as Dashan, he will always be an outsider in front of people like Zuoshan Diao.

What kind of identity and position often determines what kind of occasion a person must take, what attitude and what kind of words he or she must say.

If Zuoshan Diao could increase the box office of his movie by 50%, it would be fine for Duke to speak Chinese in the next few days, but this is absolutely impossible. Firstly, Duke would not be so mentally retarded that he thought Zuoshan Diao would do this, and secondly, Zuoshan Diao did not have such power at all.

The share ratio of Hollywood movies here is part of the World Trade Agreement signed by China and the United States. The ten mountain sculptures combined together have no right to modify them.

How naive and stupid should Duke be if he thinks that Zuoshan Diao or China Film Group can determine the proportion of the movie?

He greeted the judges of this film festival. Duke walked into the interview area as agreed in advance and accepted an interview with the film festival's cooperative media.

"Director Rosenberg..."

The female reporter opposite obviously didn't seem to be pretending. She was able to interview Duke, and she looked really excited, "I'm very happy to see you."

Like all those who work in this industry, Duke is certainly a different look in the media, he said with a smile. "I'm happy to see you."

The female reporter immediately showed a surprise expression, "You...you know Chinese."

“There is no problem with listening to or speaking Mandarin.”

The corner of his eyes swept across the faces of the reporters around him. These people were a little surprised, but Duke didn't care at all. There were too many language geniuses in this world, and there were countless ghosts who could say things here smoothly. The surprise on these people's faces was nothing more than his reputation and status.

Just like Zuoshan Diao, those who can enter the film festival interview area are not the kind of people with shallow experience. Their surprise only lasted for a few seconds and soon returned to normal.

However, the female reporter asked, "When did you learn Chinese?"

"It's been a long time ago. It's been more than ten years. I took Chinese when I was studying, and I'm still a little talented in this regard."

Facing these media reporters, Duke knew very well how to say it would be the most beneficial to him. "I like the culture and history of the East very much. I have studied it specifically and read some famous works."

"Can you know what you have seen?" the female reporter asked immediately.

Duke still kept smiling, "For example, "The Art of War", have you seen "The Brave of the Deadly Island"?"

"I have seen every video of you." The female reporter smiled embarrassedly. Some of Duke's videos were not introduced, and what she saw was pirated.

"Do you remember? In the video, Agent Mason walked out of prison, there was an English version of "The Art of War" in his cell." Duke knew the national conditions here and didn't mind at all. "That's a book I like very much, so I specially added it to the video."

"So you are a Chinese culture enthusiast?"

Hearing the female reporter's words, Duke nodded slightly, "I really like the culture of this country."

"Is it possible for you to make a film about Chinese themes in the future?" asked another reporter.

"It's possible," Duke turned to look at him and said, "but my plans for the past few years have been full. I may not have time in a short period of time, and I also need appropriate subject matter and scripts."

The reporter suddenly turned the problem away from the film side, "Mr. Rosenberg, it is said that it is in the United States..."

"Sorry..." Duke didn't give the other party a chance to finish asking. After interrupting him, he pointed to the direction at the entrance of the cinema, "Mr. Han is waving to me."

After saying that, he did not give these people any chance to ask sensitive questions and went directly to the entrance of the cinema where the opening ceremony was held.

There is no appropriate answer to some questions at all. The best way is to not listen or answer. Otherwise, even if the other party asks, even if it doesn’t answer, it will cause some trouble.

"What do they want to ask?"

When he walked into the interview area, Tina Fee followed Duke, who whispered as he walked, "About politics."

Tina Fei nodded in a clear way.

In fact, she is also very clear that movies are entertainment products, but movies have never been separated from political influence, and it is impossible to be separated from political influence.

This is the opening ceremony of the film festival. Although it is the halo of Oscar-best director, Duke is not the protagonist. The jury and opening film of the protagonist are also what attract the media and fans. He is very conscious and neither wants nor needs to steal the limelight of such occasions.

With his current identity and status in the film industry around the world, there is no such need.

Afterwards, Duke followed the entourage specially sent by China Film Academy to enter the large theater of Shanghai Cinema and prepare to watch the opening movie.

As for the opening movie, it is a relatively unfamiliar film, starring Zunlong, who has won the Broadway Obie Award and Taiwan's female singer Coco Lee. The movie is called "Self-Entertainment". For Chinese movies that have just transformed into commercial movies, such a movie is not as good as Duke, and most of the audience present are actually very dissatisfied.

To put it bluntly, the name of this movie is very good, and it is indeed the entertainment of this crew.

This opening video can only be said to be very ordinary.

Of course, for a country whose film industry has just become market-oriented, nothing is easy.

Anyone who has a little understanding of the film industry knows that the film industry does not develop rapidly as long as it has excellent scripts, directors and even crews. In today's world, film has long become an industry, and each industry is composed of countless upstream or downstream manufacturers.

It is impossible to just rely on a few movies or directors to lead a country's film industry to seize the world market without developing the interlocking entire industrial chain.

Although the road is difficult, many people here have seen the potential and future of the market, and the entire industry is developing in a good direction.

Just like Hollywood, the film industry cannot be achieved in a short period of time. How many years has it taken Hollywood to completely overwhelm European movies and become a world film factory?

If the film industry wants to develop, theaters can be said to be one of the most basic facilities. After Duke attended the opening ceremony of the film festival, he returned to the hotel and met Phil, the head of Warner Bros. Greater China, who seemed to be waiting for him specifically.

"That's right, Duke."

When he came to the reception room of the suite, Phil tried his best to say, "I asked me if it is possible in recent years that one of your movies was filmed in China."

"Film in China?" Duke frowned.

Batman mainly takes place in the fictional Gotham City. The plot related to the outside is basically about the villain and is not suitable for filming here, otherwise it will definitely not be able to pass the review.

Duke thought for a while and said, "Let's find the right opportunity in the future."

Looking at Phil, Duke asked strangely, "Is there something going on?"

"China Film Group wants to cooperate more deeply with us."

Phil knew Duke's status in Warner Bros. and did not hide it. "They wanted to jointly invest in the theater market with Warner, and they also wanted to win our support in film resources."

The so-called support for film resources certainly does not refer to the film as a whole, but to all the elements of making the film.

"What do the company thinks?" Duke asked.

"The group is very optimistic about the future prospects here," Phil replied, "and wants to establish a closer cooperative relationship with them."

He smiled at Duke, "Especially you, Duke. Your work has unparalleled influence here and is the trump card of Warner promotion."

Duke shrugged and said nothing.

The market here has just started and has not yet entered the stage of rapid development. Duke is very clear that the videos brought this time cannot actually exchange for much actual returns. This is just an investment in the future. (To be continued.)
