Chapter 820 Don't Turn Over Chen Qi waited downstairs for a while and an old acquaintance came, his former boss. Liu Zhigu of the Foreign Cultural Exchange Bureau. The two of them were not polite. Liu Zhigu dragged him into the inner room and whispered instructions: "The crew of "The Last Emperor" has temporarily suspended work. Lao Bei and Thomas were invited back to the Beijing Hotel, and the relevant personnel are asking questions." "What are you asking?" "The evidence is conclusive!" "You can't ask, everyone talks about art," said Chen Qi. "Don't be smiling. Now you are fully responsible because you are familiar with the Western movie environment. The key is how to do this properly..." Liu Zhigu's dog opened the door and glanced at it. The dog came back sneakily, lowering his voice: "The master agreed to this drama, and he can't just bombard people. Lao Bei is an international director at least. Europe says that China is so, it will damage our image.” "Oh yo~"
"Don't imitate your wife's words!" "Oh, what should I do?" "I'm asking you!" Liu Zhigu was anxious. Chen Qi thought for a moment and said, "You can't knock them away, you can't ban them from filming, and you don't want them to say bad things about us... It's simple, just let them change the show?" "Change the show?" Liu Zhigu frowned and said, "Even if Lao Bei agreed, he would still say whatever he wanted to say when he went back to Europe?" "Lao Bei was ridiculed in Europe. He did not make any splashes in several consecutive works, saying that he was at the end of his life, and that he was treated for mental illness. "The Last Emperor" was his gambling movie, so he was counting on this drama to turn over. The shots and intentions inside either came out of thin air, he was deliberately catering to Western public opinion. " Chen Qi said, "Then let him not turn over! Let's go and let's take a look." "good!" As they said that, the two went out to get into the car and headed straight to the Beijing Hotel. ... Beijing Hotel is naturally the top foreign-related hotel in the 1980s, and most people cannot live in it even if they have money. These foreigners come here, and the ordinary room is about $30 a day and the suite is more than $50 a day. However, "The Last Emperor" has a long cycle and will definitely have discounts, which is a lot of money. At this moment, in the room. The Chinese personnel were asking questions very politely, but Bettorucci and Thomas were very irritable. Lao Beidu was almost in a brain congested, holding the spoiler articles from Hong Kong media, and his tongue cursed like a spring of 12 seconds, "A group of shameless thieves! Bandits! Where did they get the scripts and photos... It must be If the Chinese personnel on the crew are bribed, you will all go to hell!” "You are simply unprofessional! I am extremely disappointed with you. You ruined a classic that is famous for the history of film!" Thomas also scolded. But I have to say that foreigners have poor skills in cursing, which is far less crazy, ruthless and fun than Chinese cursing. No matter what they said, the Chinese personnel remained unchanged and asked politely: "So Mr. Bettorucci, why did you shoot like this? This is inconsistent with the attitude of the documentary you claimed, and you distort a lot of facts."
“This is art!” "We hope you can modify it, such as Puyi was beaten in the management office..." "I won't change it, no one dares to change my film. Not only that, I also want to compensate you. You actually blocked the crew and forced me back to the hotel for interrogation like a prisoner! I'm too disappointed with everything about China. I will tell my European friends that China has no open attitude at all!” After hearing this, the questioning staff was slightly moved. This is what I worry about now. At this moment, one of them came over and muttered a few words, and was immediately overjoyed. As soon as the door opened, Chen Qi and Liu Zhigu came in. "Comrade Chen Qi!" "Thank you for your hard work, leave it to me!" After shook hands, the few people went out, but only four people were left. When Bettoruc saw his eyes twitching, the other party hated him the most was not the award he won, but the European and American rules were well aware of, and hummed, "I will not accept whatever you say, I ask to rework immediately, everyone Apologize to me, especially you!” "Don't pretend to behave at this time, it's a waste of time." Chen Qi sat opposite, took out a wrinkled piece of paper written in the car, and said, "Let me tell me how to deal with it. The original story of "The Last Emperor" is invalid. You have to take a picture of a real Puyi according to historical facts. I will provide you with an expert group and provide guidance, focusing on the content of Puyi's acceptance of socialist transformation in the management office and turning from a feudal emperor into an ordinary citizen. If you have no idea about rewriting the script, I can provide you with a script of a TV series with the same name that our TV station is filming for your reference. I sent a few people to the group to supervise. Once you find that you are making small moves, it will not just stop work. You agree with the above and we will continue to work happily. ” "You! You!" Betoruc was all angry, his fingers trembled at him, his throat felt like he was covered in phlegm and could not speak. Seeing this, Thomas said, "Chan! You are too much. Are you going to forcefully take over our shooting rights? I'm going to treat you China..." "Okay, okay!" Chen Qi waved his hand and stood up and said, "I will not restrict your freedom, I can still shoot. But because you are not friendly first, I decided to withdraw all Chinese staff! I admire your toughness very much. I hope you can continue to be tough. When you go bankrupt, I will also give you a bouquet of flowers. No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading! Okay, I have to leave, I asked James for a drink. ” Bang! He threw the door out, Liu Zhigu didn't say a word, but he was very happy and returned to the days when he used to work together. And in the room, when they heard James' name, they both felt like they had eaten shit. In fact, they are not afraid of Chen Qi, nor are they afraid of the government, but only fear of the iron fist of capitalism represented by James. Insurance companies, they are very powerful! ... On the way back, Chen Qi explained to Liu Zhigu. "The Last Emperor borrowed $25 million from a European bank, sold the pre-authorization in exchange for insurance companies."
"The good result is that this film was completed successfully, with a big reputation and box office. I paid off my loan and made money by myself. The insurance company didn't have to spend money. Everyone was happy!" "The bad result is that this film has been filmed but the grades are very poor, and the money earned is not enough to repay the loan, so they will go bankrupt." "There is another result. This film is due to force majeure factors, such as spending all the money while filming and the film has not been completed yet, so the insurance company has the right to check the accounts and seal the crew... Lao Bei is also going bankrupt and still has a lot of debts. ” "What should I do if the movie?" "After all, the movie is still valuable. It may be completed under the supervision of all parties. The proceeds will be used to repay the loan first. It depends on how they agree." "Oh yo~" "Don't imitate my wife!" "Oh, it turns out that there are so many things hidden in it and said? Then I'm not worried that Lao Bei will rebel." Chen Qi smiled and said like an evil god: "The most important thing is that the movie can be completed according to the budget. I am going to let them shoot first. When there is a little left, it will cause trouble and overspending. James will seal the crew. We will take over the movie. Completed, get the OEM fee and put it in Bettorucci's name to be released in Europe. The West dislikes our narrative the most. This film will not be good at box office. They are ruined and still have a lot of debts. From then on, they disappear into the film industry. This is called a failure to turn over! ” Liu Zhigu sorted out for a long time. First of all, the top leaders agreed to "The Last Emperor" and can't slap the leader in the face! So this film cannot be left out, Bettorucci has to continue shooting. Then the content needs to be changed to positively express China. Finally, I have to deal with Bettorucci himself. “Luckily we are friends…” Liu Zhigu sighed sincerely and asked, "I thought you were going to take over this drama?" "How can I have this free time? I have to go to the United States to promote "Black Man" in August, and "Happy Death Day" in October, that's the main thing!" Chen Qi also scratched his head and took "The Last Emperor" off track. Is "The Last Emperor" about socialist transformation a nonsense box office in Europe and the United States? Can you still get a bad Oscar? (End of this chapter)
