As the negotiation time grows, the box office of "Dark Journey to the West" is also constantly being just right. Now the box office of China has reached 3.5 billion. Although there are some signs of slowing down, it is not very obvious.

Overseas box office is also rising steadily, especially as the box office in Asia increases rapidly, the overseas box office data is increasing.

At the same time, this also brought an advantage to Xu Shi and his friends' negotiations.

William also knew that the longer the negotiation time, the more unfavorable the conditions would be for them.

So on that day, William decided to temporarily suspend the negotiations, and he needed to ask the company's board of directors.

Xu Shi is naturally not in a hurry. In fact, other film companies in Europe and the United States have contacted him, but Xu Shi cannot confirm the sincerity of those companies.

But these can also put a lot of pressure on William and the others.

Cooperation with Xu Shi is likely to open up the Chinese market for their company, which is what they value the most.

That night, William didn't know what he said to the head office. Anyway, William regained confidence on his face the next day.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, your conditions are indeed a bit harsh, so we will not sign such terms." William said firmly as soon as he came up.

Xu Shi and Xu Mei were both stunned for a moment. Is there a new partner?

Xu Shi smiled and said, "Mr. William is not ready to cooperate?"

William quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, cooperation still requires cooperation, but our company has re-established conditions."

Xu Shi asked curiously: "What are the conditions?"

He really didn't know why William had such confidence to say this. You have to know that they have the upper hand until now.

William said seriously: "This movie cooperation is led by our company. As the director of the movie, I am also the highest person in charge of the crew."

Xu Shi and Xu Mei were a little surprised to hear his conditions, because two days ago, William and the others reduced their conditions to being able to work with Xu Shi to produce the movie. Why do they have to completely control the crew now?

What is the confidence that allows him to get this condition?

Xu Shi and Xu Mei were not in a hurry. Just looking at William quietly made William feel a little discouraged. He was still preparing to ask these two people to ask.

"Okay, our condition is to fully support "Dark Journey to the West" to compete for the Oscar for the Best Foreign Language Film next year." William said his trump card with a confident look. He believed that this condition would definitely make Xu Shi and the others excited.

No filmmaker will not be interested in the Oscars.

The Best Foreign Language Film Award has long been renamed the Best International Film Award, but everyone is used to saying that.

Xu Shi and Xu Mei were also shocked after hearing William's words, but compared to that, they were not as excited as William imagined.

What Xu Mei thought was that if she could really win this award, what would be the benefit for Jingwu Sect?

Xu Shiying is that although such an award is attractive to him, it is far from enough to make such a big concession.

Seeing that Xu Shi and the other two seemed to be in a hurry, William became anxious instead.

"We are all from this industry. In fact, everyone understands the rules in it. No matter what awards are, they are not so open and transparent, but they are relatively fair.

This is especially true in our capital society. It has become public. Every time we make a selection, we need to conduct some public relations.

Our company is willing to conduct the public relations for you on this Oscar for the best foreign language film. I believe our strength. The popularity of this movie is now here, and the box office results and reputation are very good.

Our company is confident that it will be the throne of Oscar foreign language films." William thought Xu Shi and the others didn't understand it very much, so he explained the matters in it clearly.

In fact, Xu Shi and the others understand that as industry insiders, how could they not know these things?

No matter which country it is, it is the same, but because it is capitalism abroad, it is more relaxed.

And this will not make these awards detrimental.

After all, they have reached the last step. It can be said that the nominated movies basically have their own reasons for winning the award.

"We need to consider this, and your conditions are too outrageous. The reason why our Jingwumen movies are so successful is that we have our own unique style.

If everything has to be done according to your wishes, then we cannot guarantee the quality of the movie. And for Xu Shi, if this movie fails, his losses will be too huge, and this is not something we can afford." Xu Mei shook her head and said.

After some consideration, Xu Mei admitted that she was moved. After all, once she won the Oscar, the reputation of Jingwu Sect will usher in a big explosion in China.

At that time, it will be very beneficial to the development of Jingwu Sect.

But Xu Mei also needs to admit that the company can now have such a scale, and most of the reason why Xu Shi is here to be in charge and can also provide very excellent movies.

Xu Shicai is the foundation of the company, and Xu Mei can't forget this.

Even if Xu Mei does not take the interests of the company into consideration, she must consider it for her younger brother.

Perhaps this is one of the disadvantages of family members serving as senior executives in the company. They always need to consider some of their family’s ideas rather than follow the business rules completely.

But Xu Shi likes this feeling. How could he not know the disadvantages of a family business?

Although Xu Shi is a business novice, he also understands these principles, but he just likes such a warm feeling rather than a cold and ruthless business rule.

This negotiation has come to an end for the time being. Xu Shi and Xu Mei also need to consider what conditions should be given for the Oscar foreign language film award.

William also needs to consider other aspects to see if he can start from others.

And William also chose someone, that is Cheng Guochao.

As the director of "Dark Journey to the West", although Cheng Guochao has actually become a director because of some reasons why he worked with Xu Shi in the past, his fame is not as great as he imagined.

However, once "Dark Journey to the West" wins the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, it will be like a step towards Cheng Guochao!

So far, China has only won the Best Foreign Language Film Award once, and that was the case twenty years ago.

Now as long as Cheng Guochao has the hope of winning this honor, William believes that Cheng Guochao will definitely do his best.

Judging from the specific understanding, only director Cheng Guochao, the entire Jingwu Sect, can carry the banner.

Some other directors are not able to fully direct a blockbuster.

So in William's eyes, Cheng Guochao's status in the Jingwu Sect should be quite high. Xu Shi and Xu Mei must consider carefully what he said.

...........

In the evening, William and Cheng Guochao had dinner together.

William also followed the local customs, so he started to talk about things with Cheng Guochao at the dinner table.

"Director Cheng, you also know the strength of our company. As long as our company is willing to do its best to help this time, there will be basically no surprises for those who win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film." William said confidently.

Sure enough, when he said these things, Cheng Guochao's face began to change drastically, excited and unbelievable...

Cheng Guochao first took a sip of wine, and the hot feeling made him know that he was not dreaming at this time.

The movie he made really hopes to win the Best Oscar for Foreign Language Film?

If he succeeds, he will have no regrets in his life!

Guochao was not blinded by such surprises. He knew that since William came to him, it proved that this incident did not pass directly with Xu Shi and Xu Mei.

And this must contain great benefits.

Thinking of this, Cheng Guochao gradually calmed down. Although he was extremely eager to win this award, he was not stupid either. He knew that some things were not something he could decide.

Cheng Guochao calmed down and said, "You can just talk about these things with Mr. Xu, why do you tell me about these things?"

William said helplessly: "I also thought this condition would make Xu Xin excited, but who thought he didn't seem to care much about this."

William was also helpless. He didn't expect Xu Shi to be so calm.

William didn't know the reason, but Cheng Guochao knew it. When Cheng Guochao heard him say this, he immediately smiled bitterly.

If William had stated the conditions that would be beneficial to a person who practiced martial arts, Xu Shi might have agreed.

"William, it's useless to find me. I don't have any say in this matter. To put it bluntly, I'm just a worker in the company." Cheng Guochao said helplessly.

He had already figured it out completely. William had definitely attached a lot of things to this condition, otherwise Xu Mei would not have been confused.

From the perspective of the overall situation, Cheng Guochao still believes in Xu Mei. After all, Xu Mei made an indelible contribution to the development of Jingwu Sect so quickly.

Especially some of her operations in the past two years have expanded the Jingwu Sect more than doubled.

When William heard Cheng Guochao say this, he immediately laughed, "Director Cheng, you are a little self-confident. I know that you are the biggest director in Jingwu Sect and have a lot of say in Jingwu Sect. If you make your own opinions, I believe that they will definitely consider it solemnly."

After saying that, William immediately began to increase his bargaining chips, "And if you can help us once, our company will definitely remember your favors. If there is any place to cooperate with, we will definitely not refuse."

Is Cheng Guochao tempted?

Of course I was moved!

This is an Oscar!

And it is also a top film and television company in the United States!

Resources and energy are not comparable to ordinary film and television companies.

But will Cheng Guochao agree?

The answer is yes, no!

In fact, Cheng Guochao does not have much ambitions or ambitions, or his ambitions are all in the movies.

But dreams are dreams, Cheng Guochao will not harm the interests of others just because he wants to realize his dreams, especially Xu Shi's interests.

Over the years, the friendship between Cheng Guochao and Xu Shi has long been indestructible.

Moreover, Cheng Guochao knew that Xu Shi was a person who valued feelings and could be seen from some of the company's operations.

In order to repay his previous help, Xu Shi took him to make money and helped him stand in the company.
