Chapter 286
After Qiu Ming thought for a while, he said to Cao Yun: "Brother, please tell me carefully what is going on."
After a slight pause, Qiu Ming said with a wry smile: "This matter is too big. If it's my own business, forget it. I can take responsibility for whatever I do. But it concerns Zhuo Lan's future. I can't mess around. I must protect it."
she."
Although he also won an award, Qiu Ming certainly knew the difference between Zhuo Lan appearing at the film festival in person or not.
Appearing at a film festival in person gives you a completely different level of exposure.
It can be said that Zhuo Lan will suddenly get the attention of the world's media. The spotlight will make her shine instantly. Zhuo Lan's fame will explode in a short period of time.
Let’s not talk about it here in China. For an actor, especially an actress, such an honor is simply equivalent to a coronation.
Internationally, Zhuo Lan will also shine, allowing filmmakers and audiences who follow film festivals to recognize this actress from China.
But if Zhuo Lan hadn't gone, even though the matter would have spread, this great opportunity to appear in the spotlight would have been wasted.
As an agent, Qiu Ming certainly hopes that Zhuo Lan can gain attention, but if he has to risk being banned to do this, then he definitely can't agree.
Cao Yun understood what Qiu Ming meant. He pondered for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then said: "I was called to a dinner two days ago. There were several big shots related to Zong Ju at the table. They mainly wanted to
Ask me about some situations and situations in the foreign film market, and I would like to have a better understanding.
You know, I don’t dare to brag about anything else, but when it comes to foreign matters, no one in China knows it better than me, so I can only express a few of my opinions.
When I spoke that day, I was quite nervous. I was afraid that if I said something wrong, I would get into trouble, so I didn't dare to say too much.
However, one of the big shots must have noticed my little thoughts, and told me very bluntly that during this period, Zongju wanted to make adjustments to the "positive test" of domestic independent film supervision...
Well, to put it simply, movies like "Innocent" will be given priority.
After all, your film actually doesn't have any big problems, it mainly reflects some social phenomena... Well, if it can win an award at the international level this time, it will do more good than harm to Zongju."
Qiu Ming understood a little bit, but he was also a little confused.
What I understand is that Cao Yun got the news from a "reliable" channel, and this matter may turn around.
What is confusing is that Cao Yun is not sure about this news. After all, he has just heard about it, and there are risks in the matter.
In any case, Cao Yun was able to make this call to him. This is friendship. Qiu Ming thought for a while and said: "Thank you, brother, I will consider this matter carefully."
After that, he asked Cao Yun how his recent business of selling movies abroad was going.
Upon hearing this, Cao Yun immediately started chatting excitedly again.
Several scripts and films that Qiu Ming had recommended to him before were very good. Those scripts have basically been approved and produced, and those films have been directly sent abroad and received very good feedback.
Although it is still too early to tell about the benefits, those few films can basically be sold at a good price. This has made Cao Yun full of confidence in Qiu Ming's "vision".
Therefore, at the end of the conversation, Cao Yun said again: "I am collecting the films at the moment. When the collection is almost complete, I will send them to you. You can help me take a look and help me choose some good ones."
"
For Qiu Ming, this was just a matter of system props. He agreed casually without thinking too much.
Cao Yun was very happy when he heard this. Qiu Ming's attitude was exactly what he wanted. He smiled on the phone and said, "Okay, I'll see you when I get back to Sijiu City. Then we'll call Daaxe and have dinner together."
Qiu Ming agreed again, and the two ended the call.
After this phone call, Qiu Ming thought quietly for a long time, thinking about what Cao Yun said on the phone.
As for whether Zhuo Lan should go to the Bailin Film Festival, he had been undecided before, mainly because he didn't know how big the risk factor was.
But if combined with what Cao Yun said, and when he thought of the future return value given by the previous "plot prediction", he felt that he could go.
It’s not like he doesn’t know the effects of system props.
In his opinion, the extremely exaggerated future return value that Zhuo Lan received should be here.
In this way, something that seems risky should actually be very safe.
After thinking for a while, Qiu Ming made more sense and felt that he really should take Zhuo Lan on this trip to Europa.
Immediately, Qiu Ming sent a message to Lin Xiaoxiao, saying that he was taking Zhuo Lan to the Bailin Film Festival.
Lin Xiaoxiao's phone call came quickly: "Are you kidding me, going to the Bailin Film Festival at this time? Let alone whether I can really win an award, even if I do win, so what? Wait for Zhuo next.
Lan's only option is to ban... You don't know how popular Zhuo Lan is now. Even without this award, she can still do well. Why take risks for this award? I know that this award is very important and can make Zhuo Lan move forward.
There are many steps to climb, but the risks are also high, you can’t do this..."
Lin Xiaoxiao was talking on the phone repeatedly, her tone was fast and urgent, as if she was afraid that if she explained her meaning incoherently, Qiu Ming would take Zhuo Lan away on his own initiative.
Qiu Ming actually had some expectations of Lin Xiaoxiao's attitude. After hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't finish what he said, so he started talking about his own thoughts. He mainly revealed to Lin Xiaoxiao the "news" Cao Yun told him.
During this process, Qiu Ming deliberately made Cao Yun's "news" more accurate and true, in order to make Lin Xiaoxiao believe that it was true.
The main reason is that Cao Yun's statement is a bit vague. Even with Qiu Ming's relationship with him, it is a bit inaccurate.
If Qiu Ming had not been supported by the system, he would not have been able to rely on this news to make a decision.
Therefore, in order to convince Lin Xiaoxiao, he could only add more information to the news himself.
After Lin Xiaoxiao listened, he asked a few more details. Qiu Ming answered everything that he could. If he couldn't, he said that Cao Yun didn't explain clearly.
After pondering for a while, Lin Xiaoxiao said: "Okay, although I still think it's a bit risky, but you are Zhuo Lan's agent, you make the decision, and if anything happens in the future, you will have to bear the responsibility.
responsible."
After a slight pause, she added: "Some things must be experienced before you can understand... Well, I can't emphasize to you how much impact this incident has on Zhuo Lan. I just hope that you can tell Zhuo Lan well that if in the future
If you encounter difficulties because of this, you can bear them together and your relationship will not be affected by this."
Qiu Ming agreed and turned to Zhuo Lan to talk about the matter.
Zhuo Lan was very calm. After listening to Qiu Ming's words, he agreed immediately. It was as simple as two people calling each other to eat.
Qiu Ming thought for a moment and then said: "This matter is of great importance. If something goes wrong, you will be banned. Aren't you worried?"
"do not worry!"
Zhuo Lan blinked and said, "Originally, I wanted to learn to dance, and then go back to the county art troupe to be a dancer, or go back to the county school to apply for a music teacher, etc. Now this is already very good.
I have made a lot of money during this period, and even if I lose my job immediately, I don’t have to worry about money, so I’m not worried.”
After a slight pause, she stared at Qiu Ming and said seriously: "Besides, if I am really banned, you have to take responsibility, right? You can write songs, and you are a college student, so you should be able to make money.
, you will support me when the time comes, right?"
"No, don't be kidding. This matter is related to your future. It's not a matter of making money or not. You should make your own decision. If you don't want to take risks, then we won't take risks..."
Qiu Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He could only try to explain to Zhuo Lan again so that she could realize the seriousness of the problem and then think carefully and make a choice.
But Zhuo Lan didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and asked again: "Tell me first that you will support me when the time comes, right?"
"Um……"
"What, you don't want to take responsibility? If I'm banned, are you going to abandon me?"
"What do you mean by abandoning or not abandoning? It feels weird to hear your words..."
Qiu Ming shook his head helplessly and said seriously: "I am your agent, and I will definitely be responsible for your future. What I mean is that you must have your own ideas."
"Then you will be responsible for me and make money to support me, right?"
"Yeah……"
Qiu Ming felt that he couldn't understand what he was talking about. Where did this topic go?
But when Zhuo Lan heard this, he was very happy and said with a smile: "That's enough. With your words, of course I will go. What else is there to say?"
Qiu Ming felt that Zhuo Lan was a bit funny, but he didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, he could only start arranging his own time and see how to get to Europa.
Zhuo Lan happily sat down next to Qiu Ming and looked at his phone with him.
From behind, the assistant looked at the two people sitting side by side in front of him with extremely complicated psychology.
She heard the entire conversation between the two people just now, and she knew very well what they were thinking.
It was precisely because of this that she felt complicated in her heart.
Zhuo Lan looked like he was determined to stick to Qiu Ming, and he didn't even care about his future or stardom.
You must know that Zhuo Lan is very popular outside now, and she is a goddess in the eyes of many movie fans.
If people knew that she was so devoted to Qiu Ming, her manager, I really don’t know how many people would be heartbroken.
But more importantly, Qiu Ming seems to be unable to accept his affection for Zhuo Lan.
Even though people say things like "support me" and "take responsibility for me" so clearly, he is still "insensitive", which makes people speechless.
It can only be said that one thing brings down another thing. This kind of thing is really not something that an outsider can have a say in.
