After Barber contacted Phyllis, he arranged for some people to start planning Aphra's comeback. However, Barber strictly ordered no information about Aphra's comeback to be leaked to the outside world.

Even if he doesn't sing, he has become a blockbuster. He must make Aphra's comeback have a huge impact, return to the top, and tell the world that a queen will always be a queen. Even if the years go by, the memory that Aphra brings to the fans will not be concealed.

Of course, this also has a certain impact on the fact that Barber is also a loyal fan of Aphra.

Another point is that when Barbour was planning Aphra's comeback plan, he also secretly investigated all cAA information through his own connections.

He knew that Aphra would switch to Oriental DreamWorks, and it would be okay if it failed. Once Aphra made a perfect comeback and achieved great success, it would undoubtedly be a severe slap in the face for CAA. Based on his understanding of CAA, the other party would definitely not

I will tolerate this tone.

Yang Ming didn't ask too much about Barber's arrangements. He believed that with Barber's ability, he could handle Aphra's comeback.

After all, the ability known as Hollywood's Midas Touch is not just a boast.

After he arrived in Huacheng, the capital of Luzon, the hotel he stayed in this time was not the Datang Hotel, but the Huaxia Hotel.

In the capital of a Chinese country in East Asia and Nanyang, the most famous hotel is called Hua Xia Hotel. From here, you can know the relationship between this Chinese country and Hua Xia. It goes without saying.

To put it nicely, it is an independent Chinese country. In fact, other countries in the world know that Luzon is actually a relatively special autonomous region of China.

Arriving at the room he had already reserved at the Huaxia Hotel, Yang Ming put down his luggage and stood on the balcony, curiously looking at the scenery of Huacheng, the capital of the Chinese nation.

At this moment, a movie promotional video suddenly appeared on a huge outdoor advertising screen in the building opposite. It was "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff".

Seeing this scene, Yang Ming nodded. It seemed that the company's publicity work had been implemented.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the Donghai Cinema expansion plan that Li Dongyang mentioned to him this year.

In addition to the step-by-step domestic expansion and increasing the number of new theaters, there is also the expansion and acquisition of theater chains abroad to expand the scale of the Donghai Cinema Line.

Among them, the two Chinese countries of Luzon and Xinhua are the film markets that Li Dongyang focuses on.

I don’t know how far the progress is on Li Dongyang’s side.

——Ding dong.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

Yang Ming immediately went to open the door. He guessed that Zheng Mengsheng and the others knew that he had arrived and came to ask him about when they would go to the concert to rehearse.

However, when he opened the door and saw the person coming, he couldn't help but be startled.

"Mr. Yang!"

"Director Yang!"

Wang Qidong and Lu Taidong stood outside the door and greeted Yang Ming with a smile.

Yang Ming really didn't expect that it was the two of them coming, so he couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Why are you here?"

"Mr. Yang, "Dragon Agent" is filming on location in Luzon." Lu Taidong said.

Yang Ming led the two of them into the room and sat down. Hearing this answer, he immediately patted his head. He couldn't help but remember that according to the company's plan, Lu Taidong should be filming the second part of "Dragon Agent" right now.

Dragon Team 007: Tomorrow Never Dies".

Since the first "GoldenEye" of "Dragon 007" became a huge success two years ago, it has attracted a lot of fans.

Especially the alternative portrayal of the agent in this movie, handsome and handsome, beautiful woman wearing a car, it has completely subverted everyone's previous impression of the agent. It is very enjoyable to watch, and the big scenes in it are also very visually impactful.

Therefore, the success of the first part of "Dragon Agent 007" is natural.

At that time, Lu Taidong, the director of this film, also became a rising star under Oriental DreamWorks.

Two years ago, this movie had a domestic box office of 300 million yuan, an East Asian box office of 400 million yuan, and a box office of about 300 million yuan in Europe and the United States. The total box office was about 1 billion yuan, which greatly shocked the domestic entertainment industry.

Circle it.

This time, Oriental DreamWorks also attaches great importance to the second part of "Dragon 007" and cannot help but increase the scale of investment. It also invited two popular female stars at home and abroad to join the crew, and its momentum is not inferior to those of Hollywood blockbusters.

After Wang Qidong and Lu Taidong came in, they didn't say much about the filming of "Dragon Agent 007".

Instead, he conveyed an invitation to Yang Ming.

"Chinese Film Development Conference?" Yang Ming was stunned when he heard the invitation, and looked at Wang Qidong in confusion.

Wang Qidong saw the doubt in Yang Ming's eyes and immediately explained to him what this film conference was about.

Lu Taidong was filming an outdoor scene in Luzon and was invited by chance, but he came here specially to attend this conference.

"This Chinese Film Development Conference is not actually a formal conference, but it has some history. It is mainly an event held by the three Chinese countries of China, Luzon, and Xinhua East Asia. The original purpose is mainly for everyone to interact and interact.

, to connect with each other, but with the strength of Hollywood blockbusters in recent years, the market for Chinese-language films has been shrinking day by day, and the Chinese-language Film Development Conference has also focused more on discussing the future development direction of Chinese-language films."...

After listening to Wang Qidong's introduction, Yang Ming couldn't help but understand what this Chinese film development conference was about. He asked: "Both Minister Guo and Mr. Tao are here?"

"Well!" Wang Qidong nodded, "It was the two of them who asked me and Lao Lu to come over and invite you to attend this conference. I didn't plan to invite you, but you happened to be in Luzon, so the two big guys

I am going to pull you over and say that I want to introduce you to people from the film industry in Luzon and Xinhua."

Yang Ming didn't care about the previous words, but at the end, when he heard Wang Qidong mention that Minister Guo and Mr. Tao wanted to introduce him to some people in the film industry of Luzon and Xinhua, his heart suddenly moved.

He was just thinking about Donghai Cinema's expansion in Nanyang, and there would be an opportunity here.

Perhaps the people from the film industry of the two countries who come here will not have the bosses of the theater companies of the two countries, but through them, I may be able to understand the real situation of the theaters of the two countries. If possible, when the time comes, the Donghai Cinema Line will really

For acquisitions, you can also pull strings through them.

It's easy to get things done with acquaintances.

This is a tradition that has been passed down in China for thousands of years.

Yang Ming thought for a while and then agreed.

Then he confirmed with Wang Qidong the start time of the conference, which was at 9:30 tomorrow morning at a convention and exhibition center not far from the Huaxia Hotel.

Seeing Yang Ming agree, Wang Qidong immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call to who was probably the person in charge of the conference. After telling Yang Ming that he would attend, he hung up the phone.

"Both Minister Guo and Mr. Tao are accompanying cultural figures from both countries, so they will not come over tonight. They will probably have time to find you after the meeting is over tomorrow. They asked you that if you decide to attend this meeting,

You'd better prepare your speech in the evening, you will definitely have to give a speech then." Wang Qidong thought of something again and reminded Yang Ming.

"Yeah!" Yang Ming nodded.

Alas, I didn't expect that his whim would bring him trouble again.

It seems that he won't be able to sleep until late tonight.

After Yang Ming chatted with Wang Qidong and Lu Taidong for a while about the crew of "Agent 007", the two of them said goodbye and left. Yang Ming did not hold back. After seeing them off, he returned to the room and immediately began to prepare.

Speech.

When he sat down and faced the laptop, he didn't know what to write.

It's not that he can't write it, it's that he wants to write too much.

As a filmmaker, especially one whose soul is that of a filmmaker from a previous life, deep in his soul, there are too many ideals that need to be realized for the development of Chinese-language films.

Whenever he thinks about the persistence of countless Chinese-language filmmakers in his previous life to revitalize Chinese-language films, and how countless filmmakers have suffered repeated setbacks in the materialistic entertainment industry but still tirelessly explored the development of Chinese-language films, he feels countless excitements in his heart.

And emotions should be expressed to the outside world.

Maybe, this time is an opportunity.

He wants to tell the Chinese filmmakers of the present generation the dreams of Chinese-speaking filmmakers in the past life. He hopes that the ideals that could not be realized in the previous life can be achieved by Chinese-speaking films of the present generation.

Thinking of this, the theme of his speech tomorrow suddenly became extremely clear.

He immediately typed a title in the computer document: "How Chinese Films Influence the World."

When he started writing his speech, he lost track of time. Even when Zheng Mengsheng and others came in and found Yang Ming immersed in writing, they did not dare to disturb him and left quietly.

When a person devotes himself wholeheartedly to one thing, he will forget everything else. This is the case with Yang Ming now.

After Yang Ming finished writing, he realized that it was already dark outside. He looked at the time and saw that it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

In other words, he sat here from afternoon to evening, and three hours passed unknowingly.

However, the written speech may still need some modifications, but at this time Yang Ming could already feel his stomach growling, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that he had to solve the problem of food and clothing first.

He went to the hotel restaurant below to have dinner alone. After returning to the room, he called Su Susu again. After chatting for a while, he was ready to revise the speech.

The next day, when Yang Ming got up and washed up, Wang Qidong was already in the lobby below the hotel, ready to pick him up and set off together.

After breakfast, it was already past nine o'clock when he met Wang Qidong and set off to the convention and exhibition center.

At this time, a hall in the convention and exhibition center where the conference was to be held was almost full, and most people had already arrived.

The conference hall is not very big. It is estimated that there are only about two hundred people in it. When Yang Ming arrived at the conference hall, he was a little disappointed with the so-called Chinese Film Development Conference. The scale was too small. Anyway, he had

I stayed up late to write out the speech!

However, when he recognized some of the filmmakers attending the conference, he was shocked. The scale may indeed be a bit small, but these people are not ordinary people.

At first glance, at least one-third of the people are old men over fifty, not counting those with dyed hair.

He even listened to some people's classes. After all, Yang Ming's current status is still a student of Yanjing Film Academy, and he has not graduated yet!

These people include not only several teachers from the academy, but also highly respected film industry seniors who have been invited by the academy to give lectures in their directing department.

Feng Xiaodan is the only remaining Chinese "first generation" filmmaker who has shot silent films. At his 100th birthday, he has witnessed a century of Chinese cinema.

Zheng Ji - an old-timer who is known as the one responsible for most of the history of Chinese cinema. This senior was unanimously evaluated by the Chinese media as 'a filmmaker associated with half a century of Chinese cinema.'
