Entertainment: I treat you as my sister, but you want to pick on me?

Chapter 382 Are You Cold?
More than four hours?

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Lao Xiujie took a sip of the red wine in his hand.

"Did you think a Norris movie would be five hours long or longer?"

After Lao Xiujie finished speaking, he laughed.

Not to mention four hours, he wouldn't even watch a three-hour movie. If it wasn't for Norris, he would have accused the director of having cerebral palsy. If it wasn't for cerebral palsy, how could it be possible to make such a long movie? 10 minutes to 120 minutes is the most scientific film length recognized by Blue Star.

No matter how long it is, the audience will feel visual fatigue. This is also the main reason why "Life is Like a Play" hit the box office. Who would watch a four-hour movie? Wouldn't it be good to have this time to do other things?
"Jiang Yan's guess is not unreasonable. You must know that the movie "Life is Like a Play" is internationally renowned. The Italian national treasure director Norris has a luxurious cast, all of whom are Hollywood superstars. The global box office of 1000 million US dollars is really too low. , I'm afraid they don't even get one-fifth of the male lead's salary."

Xia Wanqing participated in the discussion, Lao Xiujie was from the perspective of a director, and she was from the perspective of a director of a theater.

"However, the matter is a foregone conclusion. At the age of 65, Norris, who has already achieved fame and retirement, has become the object of ridicule. No matter how brilliant his past is, what people remember most is his shame."

"It's not safe in old age." Lao Xiujie deeply agreed with Xia Wanqing's words.

"You guys talk first, and I won't bother you."

Lao Xiujie tactfully left, and before leaving, turned his back to Xia Wanqing and winked at Jiang Yan, with an expression of you kid doing it.

"Jiang Yan, the big boss is very optimistic about you."

The banquet was very lively, with all kinds of laughter and laughter, Jiang Yan casually found a sofa and sat down, Xia Wanqing also followed after seeing this.

The big boss should refer to Xi Ronghua, the chairman of Xitian Entertainment, but Jiang Yan knew that Xi Wenfu, Xi Ronghua's second brother, was mainly in charge of Xitian's overseas theaters.

Compared to Xi Ronghua, Xi Wenfu gave Jiang Yan the feeling that he was more like the person in charge of Xitian, who had been strategizing behind the scenes and rarely appeared in public view.

Xia Wanqing looked at the man in front of him who had only spent two years, and whose reputation in China was comparable to that of the king of actors and actresses.

Over the years, Emperor Cinemas has developed rapidly in European countries because of Xitian's secret support. Xitian mainly makes money from movies, and has a large number of directors and actors under its umbrella.

After opening up overseas channels, Xitian began to show its films in Emperor, but the effect was not satisfactory due to various reasons.

Any industry will have the pressure of competition. Compared with other theaters in European countries, Emperor Cinemas has no advantage, and has even been losing money and struggling to persist in these years.

The release of "Tuner" made Emperor Cinemas breathe a sigh of relief. The plot of this movie is complicated and confusing, and the reversal and reversal are deeply loved by the audience.

This made Emperor Cinemas make a lot of money, and it was from this time that Xia Wanqing noticed Jiang Yan.

In her opinion, the success of "The Tuner" lies in the script, and Jiang Yan is the screenwriter of this movie.

"Miss Xia, do you have the finished film of "Life is Like a Play"?"

Jiang Yan brought up the topic that was discussed at the banquet this time.

"You seem to be very interested in the films directed by Norris. Yes, but "Life is Like a Play" was taken off the shelves on the second day after its premiere, but if you want to watch it, you must go to the cinema."

"Is there a movie theater in Emperor Cinemas nearby?"

Jiang Yan asked.

"Of course, it's very close. It only takes ten minutes to drive." Xia Wanqing said with a smile.

"Then let's go now."

Jiang Yan got up and was about to leave. Compared to Norton's banquet, he was more interested in Norris' movies.

A four-hour movie, the global box office is only 1000 million US dollars, the most important thing is directed by the internationally renowned director Norris.

Jiang Yan has seen the bad movie, and watched a lot of it. If Norris wanted to make a bad movie, why bother to shoot it for four hours?

If he normally makes a bad movie, it wouldn't cause such a big discussion.

"Jiang Yan, I'm different from you. You come to the banquet to meet friends and broaden your network, but I'm working." Xia Wanqing glanced at the people at the banquet.

"Today, as long as I have a good relationship with the directors of the banquet, Emperor Cinemas will be able to gain an advantage in the competition with other cinemas. I left my business to work on my own. How are you going to compensate them?"

Xia Wanqing lightly touched the back of Jiang Yan's hand with her fingers, and the last sentence, how are you going to compensate him, was very similar to the tone of a girlfriend acting like a baby to her boyfriend.

"I owe you a favor." Jiang Yan said.

Xia Wanqing is different from Feng Lingyu, Feng Lingyu is simply addicted to playing green tea, at most it's just talking, Xia Wanqing is really hands-on!

And Jiang Yan keenly noticed that Xia Wanqing had been showing favor to her intentionally or unintentionally.

Is it simply because he is handsome?
Probably not, Xia Wanqing was able to gain Xi Wenfu's trust and become the person in charge of the Emperor Cinemas. This woman is by no means as simple as it appears on the surface.

"Then don't forget to owe me a favor." Xia Wanqing put on her coat, but it still couldn't hide her curvy figure.

In the car, Jiang Yan sat in the back row with his eyes closed and rested.

Before he left, he had already greeted Lao Xiujie, and Lao Xiujie said that he knew a very good love hotel with well-equipped facilities, so he would never forget to return.

Jiang Yan knew that an explanation was a cover-up, so he directly chose to ignore Lao Xiujie's words.

The car was very quiet, and there was a faint fragrance in the air, which smelled good. Jiang Yan opened his eyes and found Xia Wanqing next to him.

"Are you cold?"

Jiang Yan asked.

"Cold, my heart is cold." Xia Wanqing said with a smile.

Jiang Yan: "."

Which cadre can stand this kind of test?

However, the more proactive Xia Wanqing was, the more Jiang Yan felt something was wrong.

Through conversation, it was learned that Xia Wanqing's father was from China, and her mother was from the West.

Xia Wanqing was originally an employee of Xitian, but was later sent by Xi Wenfu to manage the Emperor Cinemas abroad. In two years, Xia Wanqing became the general manager, with full authority to manage everything in the Emperor Cinemas.

"Button your clothes when it's cold."

Xia Wanqing is very beautiful, and she is of mixed race, but Jiang Yan still thinks it's better to be cautious when she doesn't know the basics.

The car was parked at the entrance of a movie theater with a crown engraved on it. The surrounding area was bustling with pedestrians. This kind of place is indeed a very suitable place to open a movie theater.

Xia Wanqing led Jiang Yan into the familiar way. After a brief communication with the manager, Jiang Yan finally came to an empty screening room.

"Am I taking this as a charter?"

Jiang Yan sat in the middle, the most suitable position for watching movies.

"It can be understood in this way." Xia Wanqing was very considerate and brought popcorn and snacks.

The big screen slowly glowed with white light, and Jiang Yan sat upright.

What kind of movie can be shot for four hours?

Jiang Yan was puzzled and looked directly at the screen in front of him. "Life is like a play" started playing!
