939 Intention and Decision (2/3)
Jerome Hoyle and Sparky Snow are the chairman and vice-chairmen of the Cannes Awards, and they have high status in the European film industry. Naturally, they will not have nothing to do and come over to say hello to Yang Ming.
The few people did not say much in public, and soon sat down in a cafe above Buckingham Gate and ordered five cups of coffee.
On the way to the coffee shop, Niu Hua found out the identities of the two people in front of him through Manager Liang. A flush flashed across his face, and he was filled with great surprise. How could he not have thought that the other person turned out to be a Cannes Award-winning giant.
What a surprise.
As China's superstar, Niu Hua often attends the Golden Dragon Awards. If he had not felt much about the Cannes Awards before, being recognized by the Golden Dragon Awards would be enough to satisfy him.
But now that Niu Hua's career focus is gradually taking an international route, he naturally pays more attention to the Cannes Awards than before.
He couldn't help but wonder, could it be for "Transformers"?
If it is true, once the film wins at the Cannes Awards, then regardless of whether he wins or not, it will be a huge improvement and support for his international popularity.
Yang Ming also thought about it together like Niu Hua.
As soon as he took a sip of the coffee, Sparky Snow, who looked like a middle-aged scholar and wore gold-rimmed glasses, spoke out the reason for his visit.
Sure enough, the other party came to ask Oriental DreamWorks if it was interested in letting "Transformers" participate in the Cannes Awards two weeks later.
After hearing Spark Snow's words, Yang Ming couldn't help but fell into silence, with a solemn look on his face. He looked down at the coffee in the cup in his hand, thinking about the gains and losses, and the intention of the other party's move.
As a symbol of the European film industry, the Cannes Awards will definitely not take the initiative to invite others to participate in the judging just because they are optimistic about a certain movie, or because that movie swept the global box office market and achieved earth-shattering box office results.
Otherwise, where is the integrity of the world's three major film awards?
Yang Ming believed that whether the two giants of the Cannes Awards met him intentionally or accidentally, and then took the initiative to invite him to participate in the Cannes Awards review, it would definitely not be because of the incredible box office performance of "Transformers", and it would not be...
Because this movie has been praised by many celebrities in the film industry as the masterpiece that opened the curtain of 3D movies.
Since it is not for these reasons, then the other party must have his own purpose and demands to invite him.
Suddenly, something came to Yang Ming's mind, and he secretly moved in his mind. He guessed what the other party was thinking. What if the other party didn't come because of "Transformers", but came because of Yang Ming himself?
Does he deserve such attention from the Cannes Awards?
worth!!!
Yang Ming couldn't help but think of some things at the beginning of this year, and he had already guessed some of the plans and thoughts of the two people sitting in front of him.
He is a genius in China, and not just any ordinary genius. He is a double superstar in music and movies.
This year, it can be said that Yang Ming has become popular all over the world and his popularity is extremely hot.
Among them, he directed and acted in several movies this year, and held one solo concert in the United States and Europe, which are all important factors for his popularity. Of course, there is another reason why his name has been in the spotlight for a certain period of time.
It became the headlines and gained its current popularity and popularity.
That was the injustice he suffered at the Academy Awards at the beginning of the year, and the Academy Awards scandal that broke out later, causing this nearly century-old award to encounter the biggest crisis of credibility in history.
In the news about scandals and crises at the Academy Awards, his name, Yang Ming, has been mentioned countless times, which can be said to be the source of the scandals and crises at the Oscars.
Thinking of this, Yang Ming immediately guessed what the two men in front of him had planned. The other party's purpose was to attack the Academy Awards and raise the Cannes Awards!
The Cannes Award has reached its current stage, and its influence has spread to the global film industry. It can be said that its status has reached its peak, and it is simply impossible to improve it further.
Even more publicity will not substantially improve the impact of the Cannes Awards.
The same is true for China’s Golden Dragon Award.
But the scandals and crises that broke out at the Academy Awards this year obviously gave these two people a chance, and Yang Ming, who was the source, was this chance.
Once Yang Ming promotes "Transformers" to participate in the Cannes Awards instead of participating in the Academy Awards review, it will be another serious blow to the credibility of the Academy Awards. Yang Ming, a Chinese talent who has always appeared as a victim,
, refused to participate in the Academy Awards because of fear of suffering injustice again.
Perhaps this news cannot cause a devastating blow to the Academy Awards, but it is obvious that the reputation will continue to be damaged.
When it comes to the Cannes Awards, Golden Dragon Awards, and Academy Awards, every slight mistake will cause a gap in the influence of the three in the next few years.
Therefore, the chairman and vice chairman of the Cannes Awards met Yang Ming by chance, and this was his opportunity.
As Buckingham Gate is a high-end place, the cafe is naturally not bad, and the environment is very quiet.
After Yang Ming heard Spark Snow's words, he had been thinking deeply and considering the pros and cons, and neither Jerome Hoyle nor Spark Snow urged Yang Ming to answer immediately.
Decide.
The atmosphere among the five people couldn't help but seem a bit dull. They were each drinking coffee, waiting for Yang Ming's answer in their hearts.
Although Niu Hua and Manager Liang didn't know why Yang Ming didn't make an immediate decision at such a good opportunity, but instead frowned in thought and were curious and surprised, it was obvious that Yang Ming had thought of something they hadn't thought of.
When Jerome Hoyle and Spark Snow saw Yang Ming's expression, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both guessed that the young man in front of them might know their purpose.
After a long time, Yang Ming gently put down the tea cup in his hand, raised his head and looked at the two big guys from the Cannes Awards. His deep eyes revealed his sincerity, and he said slowly: "I am very honored that the Cannes Awards recognized "Transformers".
, this is also an honor that belongs to all members of our crew. I think I really can’t find any reason to refuse the invitation from the two of them.”
When Jerome Hoyle and Sparky Snow, who were sitting opposite, heard this, they couldn't help but smile and look relaxed on their faces.
But at this moment, when they heard Yang Ming's next words, they couldn't help but look stunned.
"However, I would like to apologize to both of you here first. Perhaps because of the style that the Cannes Awards have always adhered to, the company did not consider participating in the Cannes Awards review, but submitted the Golden Dragon Award and the Academy Award.
"
"What? Have you already submitted your Oscar?" Sparky Snow's face changed slightly and he asked uncontrollably.
On the other side, Jerome Hoyle, as an old man who has experienced all kinds of ups and downs, immediately guessed what Yang Ming was thinking, and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. This young man from China is like an old fox, he is so slippery.
