In the courtyard!

Wu Jianye, Zhou Tao, and Zhao Lei sat together.

"The sales volume of Jianlibao is almost negligible now. Customers still trust the beverages produced by state-owned factories even more. Even in Shanghai, the situation has not opened up yet. Adding in the US$30 we sponsored by the Olympic team, if we If you can’t open the market anymore, you will have to invest more!”

Zhou Tao is worried recently, seeing the money go out like running water, but he can't see any return. The three of them jointly invested 300 million US dollars before, and they are almost spent in the past half a year. Zhou Tao, as a cold water The general manager of Beverage has been so worried recently that he has no time to deal with his wife.

According to the exchange rate issued by the central bank this year, the exchange rate between RMB and US dollar is 1:1.9573.

In other words, the cold water drink has lost nearly 600 million yuan. In 1983, when ten thousand yuan households were still a rarity, talking about it could scare a lot of people to death.

Wu Jianye was also scratching his head for a while. Jianlibao's real strength will have to wait until the end of next year's Olympic Games and the women's volleyball team will reach the highest podium, but there is still more than a year before that time. Been waiting.

"After we go back, we must first open up the Shanghai market, let Jianlibao enter the major department stores in Shanghai, and at the same time recruit distributors in major cities in China, and give them a certain amount of profit."

Wu Jianye began to tell Zhou Tao about the development strategies of some beverage companies in later generations.

Nouns such as distributors, as early as when they founded Jinxiu Garment, Wu Jianye had already explained these nouns to Zhou Tao
"Okay, I see!" Zhou Tao nodded.

The three discussed some details again. Zhou Tao talked about some problems encountered by the cold water beverage company, while Zhao Lei made some suggestions based on his years of struggle in the front line of sales. Finally, Wu Jianye summarized and analyzed them.

A conversation lasted for more than four hours before it came to an end.

In Yanjing in May, the weather has begun to warm up, and the sun shines on the yard, making people feel lazy.

The three of Wu Jianye walked out of the room and saw Dai Zhen lying on the recliner, taking a nap with his eyes squinted, and seemed to be enjoying himself very much.

"Is this kid really a master?" Looking at Dai Zhen's image, Zhou Tao couldn't help asking.

"If it's just a simple competition, Awen is no match for Dai Zhen!" Wu Jianye said.

Yanwen's skill belongs to the wild way, and he is stronger in fighting wild beasts all the year round, while Dai Zhen practices routine boxing. If restricted by the rules, Yanwen is indeed not Dai Zhen's opponent.

"Oh!" Zhou Tao nodded.

"Is there anything else going on in Yanjing? If there's nothing else, I'll go back to Shanghai. There's still a lot of things going on in Shanghai!" Zhou Tao said.

"Go back!" Wu Jianye also knew the pressure on Zhou Tao. He knew the development of history, so he naturally understood what kind of existence Jianlibao would be in the future. However, the cold water drink gathered most of Zhou Tao's net worth, so it was impossible not to be in a hurry.

Zhou Tao didn't even have a meal with Wu Jianye in Yanjing, so he hurried back to Shanghai.

"Brother, I thank you on behalf of Chen Ming!"

At the dinner table, Zhao Lei picked up his wine glass and said to Wu Jianye seriously.

"Yeah!" Wu Jianye was not hypocritical, "How is he inside?"

"It's okay, the mentality has almost eased up, I just went to see him two days ago!" Zhao Lei said.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Lei remembered the situation when he saw Chen Ming inside. The high-spirited Chen Ming in the past disappeared, replaced by the low-key and restrained Chen Ming.

"I regret it!" This is what Chen Ming said the most.

At the beginning Zhao Lei persuaded him to leave Yanjing and go to Pengcheng to push the limelight, but he was confident that he had friends all over the world.

"Leizi, do you know that at the beginning I really thought that I could be regarded as the number one person in Yanjing. No matter when I went to the public toilet in Yanjing, someone would pass me the toilet paper. But people, I still have to After the accident, you will know who are the people around you!"

"When you see Angkor, thank Angkor for me, I don't have the face to see him!"

After Wu Jianye listened to Zhao Lei's description, he smiled and said, "Next time you go to see Chen Ming, tell him that there is nothing to be ashamed of, they are all my brothers, and you will be offended if you say these things!"

In the evening, Wu Jianye went to Zhu Juan's house as a guest again. Now Wu Jianye was not as resistant to going to Zhu Juan's house as before, mainly because he couldn't avoid it.

A real warrior dares to face the life of a scumbag!

On the second day, Wu Jianye officially brought Tian Zhuangzhuang and Zhao Fei into the Youth Studio, and started the post-production of "Raise the Red Lantern".

In order to be able to catch up with the registration for the Venice Film Festival, the three of Wu Jianye worked almost day and night. Zhu Juan visited them several times during this period, and Wu Jianye also asked Zhao Lei to come to the producer There are some things that need to be done by Zhao Lei.

July NO.12!
"It's finally over!"

Zhao Fei stretched and leaned on the sofa. His eyes were red and his beard was unshaven. It was obvious that he hadn't had a good rest during this time!

"Old Wu, do you think our film can really win an award at an international film festival?"

Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "How dare you be sure about this, I can only say that the possibility is very high!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang obviously knew more: "Did China Film Group reply to the report?"

Wu Jianye sighed: "I don't know, I haven't gone to the dean recently, how about this, you clean up, I will go to the dean now!"

Recently, Wu Jianye has been busy with the post-production work, and has not contacted the academy at all. It can be said that he is not too confident. Now that he has completed all 99 steps, if something goes wrong in the last step, Wu Jianye was really speechless to ask the sky.

"Okay then, go quickly!" Tian Zhuangzhuang said.

Wu Jianye didn't delay either, left the studio and went straight to Zhu Xinzhuang.

"Is the post-production finished?" Cheng Yin was taken aback after hearing Wu Jianye's words, "Xiao Wu, you must not save trouble in post-production in order to hurry! To know the success of a movie, post-production But it accounts for quite a large proportion!"

"Dean, don't worry, this is my first work, and the problem you mentioned will never happen!" Wu Jianye said, patting his chest.

Cheng Yin thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll contact the people from China Film Group right now, and you should go back and prepare, and try to watch the film within two days!"

"Thank you, Dean!" Wu Jianye thanked.

"Shooting a good work is the greatest thank you to me!" Cheng Yin said with a smile.

The screening of "Raise the Red Lantern" was completed at the Youth Film Studio. Not only the Dean of the Academy of Film, Cheng Yin, the director of the Youth Film Studio, but also the leadership and output of China Film The leadership of the company.

"Xiao Wu, this is Liu Jianshe, the director of China Film Group. These two are the manager Lu Ming and the manager Sun Jiarui of the I/O company!" Cheng Yin introduced to Wu Jianye.

"Director Liu, Manager Lu, and Manager Sun!" Wu Jianye hurriedly shook hands with the three of them. In the domestic film and television industry, they are the real bosses.

Sun Jiarui shook hands with Wu Jianye lightly, and said, "Xiao Wu, you still have to be down-to-earth when doing things, take your time, and don't be in a hurry!"

Wu Jianye was slightly taken aback, but then he understood that this Manager Sun should be the one who didn't want the film to be exhibited.

"What Manager Sun said is true, but since I am the director of this movie, if I don't even have confidence in him, how can the audience like it!"

Liu Jianshe smiled and said, "I think we should watch a movie first!"

"That's right, watch a movie, watch a movie!" Lu Ming also said beside him.

Sun Jiarui glanced at Wu Jianye and said nothing.
The black screen and the bright red opening title seemed a bit abrupt.

"Hmph, grandstanding!" Sun Jiarui muttered dissatisfied.

But soon, when Song Lian played by Fang Shu appeared in front of the camera, everyone's eyes lit up. The voice-over of Song Lian's stepmother, the symmetrical windows behind Song Lian, and Song Lian's stubborn and wronged eyes, immediately Let everyone shine.

"Not bad!" Liu Jianshe nodded.

The plot of the movie is slowly advancing, and soon everyone watching the film will be attracted by the content, pictures and various metaphors of the movie. Apart from the sound of the movie, there is no other sound in the screening hall.

Two hours of screen time passed quickly.

With the end of the film, the lights in the auditorium were turned on again.

At this time, Sun Jiarui's face was not as ugly as it was at the beginning. In his previous knowledge, what kind of movies could a student who had just graduated from a film school make.

But after watching this movie, Sun Jiarui has to admit that it is a good movie, whether it is the color of the movie or the story content of the movie, it is very good.

but
"This movie is indeed a good movie, but I still stick to my previous opinion. This movie does not meet the requirements for going abroad to participate in film festivals!" Sun Jiarui said firmly.

"There are so many excellent directors in China, and the excellent films they have made cannot win awards in international A-category film festivals. Now we send a film that is the first time a director to go out to participate in the exhibition. How can it win?"

"Since this is the case, it is better to let the works of some old directors go out to participate in the exhibition. I think it is more hopeful!"

Wu Jianye stared blankly at Sun Jiarui, is he the chairman of the judges of the film festival?

Just because I am young, because I am making a film for the first time, and then with him, I think I am not qualified to go out to participate in the film festival?
At this time, Wu Jianye was more and more grateful that he chose to stay in school to teach. If the major studios were full of such people, he would have to wait at least a few years before he could be a director.

"That's not what I said. There is a sequence of hearings, and those who are masters are teachers. We have all watched Xiao Wu's work. Whether it is content, shooting techniques, or use of color, they are all very good. We can't because of Xiao Wu's age, let’s deny the excellence of this movie, shall we?”

Wu Jianye had to take into account Sun Jiarui's identity, but Cheng Yin didn't need to take it into consideration. He had a lot of peaches and plums in the country, and many of his students were leaders of China Film Corporation, so he didn't have to worry about Sun Jiarui's identity at all.

"I also agree with Dean Cheng's opinion. We can't deny the excellence of this film just because Xiao Wu is making a film for the first time. Since it is an excellent film, I can take it to the international film festival for exhibition. This is also a manifestation of letting the international community know our country!"

Liu Jianshe is Cheng Yin's student, and he is also very optimistic about this movie.

"Of course, whether or not to recommend this movie to participate in the Venice Film Festival is still up to your I/O company to decide!"

Sun Jiarui said with some dissatisfaction: "I'm not saying that this movie is not good enough, but I think that our country's movie industry has just started to develop, and there is still a big gap with foreign movies. If we recommend this movie to Venice Film Festival, when the time comes, if we don't win any prizes, shouldn't we be the ones who are ashamed?"

Wu Jianye suddenly whispered beside him: "What if I win the award?"

Sun Jiarui smiled "hehe", and looked at Wu Jianye contemptuously. In his opinion, Wu Jianye, like many young people, felt that making a movie would be great, and dreamed of becoming famous all over the place.

But he didn't think about it, so many film directors in the country didn't win awards, why should he, at this time, his impression of Wu Jianye can be said to have dropped to the extreme.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "How about this film, let's discuss it at the party meeting of the company, and give Dean Cheng an answer when the time comes, how about it?"

Cheng Yin smiled and said, "That's good!"

Looking at the backs of Lu Ming and Sun Jiarui, Wu Jianye once again cast a shadow over his heart. The feeling that this kind of thing is out of his control is very uncomfortable.

But he can't do anything about it, the level is not enough, and he can't meet a big guy of this level, so he can only wait for the news.

Liu Jianshe looked at Wu Jianye from the side, smiled, patted Wu Jianye on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I just chatted with Lu Ming, he is also very optimistic about this movie, when the time comes, let the teacher I’m helping you talk, it shouldn’t be a big problem!”

"Thank you Director Liu!" Wu Jianye said hastily.

Cheng Yin also smiled and said: "You brothers, sell me now."

"Xiao Liu, you have also watched this movie. It is indeed an excellent movie. No matter what happens, there is a first time. We can't bury such a good work!" Now there are no outsiders, Cheng Yin The title of Liu Jianshe will also be changed from Director Liu to Xiao Liu.

"Teacher, don't worry, I will keep an eye on this matter when I go back. After all, Xiao Wu has also contributed to our domestic film industry!" Liu Jianshe said with a smile.

Wu Jianye was slightly taken aback, wondering what contribution Liu Jianshe was talking about.

"Last year, our domestic inspection team went to Xiangjiang!" Cheng Yin laughed beside him.
