Chapter 1243 You Have Made Contributions to Cultural Exchanges Between China and Foreign Countries

In fact, this is also the case. Historically, this film was jointly released by the Italian Yanke Film Company, the British Dao Film Company, and the China Film Co-production Company. "The Last Emperor" was able to enter the Forbidden City for live shooting. efforts are inseparable.

And Bertolucci seems to have not contacted China Film Group now, which is quite normal when you think about it. China has only been opened to the public for less than ten years now. Even in the era when Shen Long traveled over, foreigners are still full of prejudice against China. , let alone in this day and age.

"Actually, we have thought about it, but we haven't been able to find a suitable candidate, and we don't know the situation of film companies in China." Bertolucci asked Shen Long to help with the soundtrack, not only because of his talent, but because of his talent. It's not like there is no idea of ​​using Shen Long's relationship to reach a cooperation. It is of course happy to hear him take the initiative to speak now.

"If this is the case, you may need to discuss the profit sharing with other companies, but according to my idea, even if you share some with the Chinese film companies, you will not lose money; after all, many audiences are full of curiosity about China. Shooting on the spot can satisfy these curiosity and bring more box office." Shen Long wondered if he could help China Film Corporation win some profits by the way? It also helps to build a good relationship with them.

"This is what it should be." Bertolucci is a film director who tends to be more artistic, and he is not very attached to economic benefits. He is more concerned about completing the film, and he thinks Shen Long's words seem reasonable , since the Chinese film companies have helped them solve the problem, they should get a share.

"And after arriving in China, they can also provide you with convenience in various aspects such as crew, transportation, accommodation, etc., which can save you a lot of money and trouble." Shen Long also wanted to think about whether people from China Film Group could join the crew Among them, even if it is just playing the hands, it will help them increase their knowledge, right?

"You can list all the help you need, as well as the remuneration and share you are willing to pay, and I will negotiate with the relevant person in charge based on these." Shen Long finally said, and Bertolucci took notes one by one.

A few days later, Bertolucci signed the contract with Shen Long and Ang Lee, and then conveyed the results of his negotiations with other film companies. He persuaded these companies and offered corresponding conditions.

Then Shen Long took these things to the Consulate in New York, found the leader in charge of these things, explained the things, and then expounded his views, "I think this is a good thing that is conducive to cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. , It can also bring a considerable amount of foreign exchange to the country.”

"Bertolucci is a well-known director in Europe and the United States, and his works will definitely be appreciated by many audiences. After the film is broadcast, audiences in Europe, America and even the world will be able to see the Forbidden City on the big screen and see China's profound cultural heritage. Cultural heritage; it will definitely attract many foreign tourists to visit and travel in China.”

"After they arrive in China, they will naturally consume and let us earn foreign exchange; they can also see the rapid changes since China's reform and opening up, and thus have plans to invest in China..." Shen Long said a lot, from The benefits of this cooperation are explained from political, cultural and economical perspectives.

The leader nodded again and again, "Xiao Wang, what you said is very reasonable, how about this, you give me a copy of the script, and I will ask someone to read it for you. If there is no problem, I will apply to the country."

Once the leader pays attention to it, the progress of the matter will be much faster than before. Not long after, Shen Long received a notice from the consulate that the script is not a big problem, just change a few details. As for the specific cooperation,

Ask Shen Long to go back to China specifically to chat with the relevant departments.

So Shen Long told Bertrucci the good news, and then returned to China with an urgently revised script. This time he also brought Guo Yan and Ning Ning; Ning Ning has lived in the United States for more than two years. , I haven’t seen it back in China yet, so I just took this opportunity to take her back for a walk, and let her remember that she is still a Chinese.

Shen Long didn't want to raise an abc. According to his idea, after Ning Ning finished college, he would bring her back to China. At that time, he would first develop together in the United States and China, and then gradually shift the center back home.

In two years, the capital has undergone considerable changes. Shen Long continued to stay at the Great Wall Hotel, and then went home to meet Wang Qitian and the old man. Wang Qitian has done a good job in the unit, and now he has been promoted a little.

He happened to be in charge of work related to cultural exchanges. The purpose of Shen Long's return this time happened to be within his business scope. In this case, Shen Long would definitely not give up the benefits to others. Report to the leaders of the relevant departments first.

At first, the relevant departments had heard the news, but now that they heard that Shen Long had returned, China Film Company and other relevant departments immediately took action, bringing Wang Qitian to discuss with Shen Long.

"I have thought about it for you when I came here. From a general perspective, this matter is beneficial to all units; isn't the Forbidden City in short supply? The crew is willing to donate a sum of money for the restoration of the Forbidden City And daily maintenance, when filming, comrades from the Forbidden City will be invited to supervise on-site to avoid damage to cultural relics as much as possible.”

"If they don't destroy the cultural relics, it's not impossible to let them in to shoot." The staff of the Forbidden City thought about it and said that they really need funds now.

"China Film Company provides them with the convenience of filming, and by the way, it can also train a group of young film workers; in addition, after the film is released overseas, it will be divided into China Film Company according to the box office and video tape rental and sales. With the fame and the quality of this movie, this share will definitely not be less."

The movie box office of "The Last Emperor" is mediocre, but it has won several Oscars, and the income from video tapes is not bad.

"It is a good thing for the country to earn foreign exchange, but what we value more is to allow our young people to learn advanced foreign experience." said Xu Wangqiu, who is in charge of foreign cooperation at China Film Corporation.

"There will be many opportunities like this in the future. When I was chatting with people from Toei Co., Ltd. last time, I heard from them that the Japanese director Junya Sato made a movie related to Dunhuang, and I will definitely cooperate with you at that time!"

"Haha, Qiming, this time you have made great contributions to cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries!" The relevant leaders laughed.
