Chapter 654 Take the initiative to enter the pit
(Audacity to order!)

After the awards ceremony was over, there was a customary farewell reception. Fu Luo also came to attend and left after preparing to show his face.

Is he afraid that others will say that he can't afford to lose? The main reason is to give Li An a face. After all, the two will soon work together on "Manchester by the Sea". This time the Golden Horse Award was also invited twice by the other party. I just squeezed out time.

"Mr. Fu, I'm a little sorry. In fact, there are many awards I'm optimistic about "Havoc in Heaven". It's rare to have such a Chinese-language film that is on par with Hollywood, but... oh!"

At the end, Li An could only let out a long sigh.

"Director Li, please don't say that. If you win a prize, you will lose, but you don't have to say sorry."

Fu Luo didn't expect Li An to say such words as soon as they met.

He naturally understood the meaning of the other party's words. Obviously, this time, the movie "Havoc in Heaven" should have an influence other than "ethics". After all, in the hearts of many people in Wanwan, it is always...

Speaking of the final judging panel this time, it is composed of Li An, Cai Kangyong, Li Bingbing, Lin Ruomu, Zhang Jialu, and Zhang Zhan.

In addition to Li An, there are three people from Wanwan, one from Xiangjiang and half from the mainland. Even if the former maintains a fair and impartial attitude, this vote will not have an advantage at all.

Not to mention that half of the mainlanders will definitely not vote for Fu Luo's movie. Who told him to offend the other party to death? Just enjoy the pleasure of "revenge".

Well, this may be a bit too fanciful, but Ms. Li Bingbing must be very happy to smear him while following the trend.

Moreover, Li An's personal temperament is relatively mellow, so he can't become a strong jury chairman at all. The result of "people's cooking" is that there are many people in Bay Bay, so naturally he can vote as he pleases.

In addition, although Fu Luo has never watched the movie "Outing", it seems to have won an award at this year's Venice Film Festival. When the Golden Horse Awards is [-] years old, how can we not work hard to be eccentric?

"Hey, then I won't talk!"

In fact, the reason why Li An said this was mainly because Fu Luo had made two phone calls in person before finally inviting Fu Luo over from his busy schedule.

But what happened this time is probably a bit like he invited a friend to his house as a guest, but because of some unexplainable reasons, he had to embarrassingly bring out a plate of pickled vegetables to entertain the guest.

Not to mention other things, "Havoc in Heaven" definitely has the upper hand in many technical awards, but in the end it only got a plate of "pickles", or a plate of "pickles" that can't be given.

After all, in terms of production standards and visual effects, anyone who is not blind knows that it should belong to Havoc in Heaven.

After saying a word, Li An quickly changed the topic and continued: "By the way, Mr. Fu, I have almost gotten used to the script of "Manchester by the Sea". When do you think it would be better to start operation?"

"Is that so? It seems that it's time to start this project. I'll ask Adam West, the person in charge of Dune in the United States, to contact you. Let's do the preparatory work first. My side will basically start the project before January. It will be able to free up the schedule, but I personally hope that it is best to start it after the Spring Festival.”

In fact, Fu Luo had been waiting for news from Li An's side, and now that the other party had brought it up, he naturally agreed.

"I think it's similar. After all, preparations take time, so let's set it in February for the time being!"

As a Chinese, Li An naturally understands the meaning of the Spring Festival very well, and there is nothing to discuss about this.

After it was over, he continued to bring up another matter: "Mr. Fu, I have one more thing to discuss with you. I have an old friend named James Shams, who is the focus He also likes the story of "Manchester by the Sea" very much, so he also wants to join this film project, I don't know where you are?"

"Focus Pictures? It seems to be the film company Director Li has been working with in Hollywood?"

Not to mention, when Li An said the names of Focus Pictures and James Shams, Fu Luo really had a little memory.

The CEO of Focus Pictures, James Shams, has always had the title of "the man behind Li An". The latter can achieve today's achievements, and the former is definitely the biggest contributor and promoter.

"Yes, I've made it this far. James is the person I'm most grateful for, and with the addition of Focus Pictures, I believe it will be beneficial to the promotion of the film in the United States."

Hearing this, Li An admitted this without any scruples.

Then, he especially believed that the reason why Fu Luo invested in and operated the movie "Manchester by the Sea" was definitely because he wanted to make a difference in the awards.

And Dune is just an outsider in Hollywood, and it can even be said that it only has an office in the United States. Finding a partner in the United States is almost the only way out.

Now that his old friend James Shams knows about the film and has some ideas for cooperation, Li An naturally doesn't mind pulling the strings in the middle.

"Okay, I have no problem here. Anyway, Director Li and Focus Pictures are very familiar, and they are familiar with each other!"

In fact, Li An didn't say anything, Fu Luo would also find a partner in the six major universities in the United States. I believe this is not a difficult thing.

After all, Dune has no roots in the United States, so as long as there are benefits, the six natures are willing to cooperate with him. After all, there is no such fool in a capitalist country who would struggle with money and benefits.

Now that Focus Pictures is willing to take the initiative to enter the pit, Fu Luo will definitely not object to anything, and it will save him from bargaining with the six majors. In addition, Li An can get mixed up to this level, which shows that Focus Pictures still has some skills.

An actor who doesn't want to win an award is not a good actor. Fu Luo worked so hard to prepare for the filming of "Manchester by the Sea". The risk is still very high.

It's good that he has money, but he doesn't have a fever, so he throws money into the hole for no reason.

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Fu on behalf of James. I hope that the two companies can cooperate happily!"

"Of course, happy cooperation!"

After each of them said a word, Fu Luo and Li An raised their wine glasses and bumped each other.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while before they parted, and Fu Luo was about to leave, but he still didn't leave in the end, because Liu Dehua came over to say hello again, so naturally he couldn't leave like this and forgive Liu Tianwang .

When Liu Dehua took the lead, it was like opening a Pandora's box. Soon after another, famous stars from all walks of life came to say hello to him.

For example, Cheng Long, Guo Fucheng, Liang Jiahui, Liu Nuoying, Huang Bo, Zhao Wei, etc., even Viagra, who has always been "shy", was "led" by Liu Jialing.

Just like that, he, who didn't win the award, became the focus of the audience instead, which was absolutely unexpected.
