When Xu Xin was about to go to bed at night, he received a message from Georgia.

"Xu, my friend, I have arrived in Berlin. My colleagues and the head of your film company have made an appointment to meet in the cafe at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Do you have any plans tomorrow?"

"No, George, we'll meet at the café at ten o'clock."

"Okay, good night."

"Good night."

After replying to the message, Xu Xin handed the phone to his wife and took a look.

In the darkness, Yang Mi closed one eye tightly and half-opened the other. After taking a look, she said:

"George is indeed a very gentleman."

"Old money."

"Go to sleep, you have a tough battle tomorrow."

"It's not a tough battle. If we have a bottom line, let's talk."

"Speaking of which, you had been planning to discuss this matter with Jesse and the others before you discussed it?"

"Um."

"Why? Wouldn't it be better to discuss this kind of thing in advance?"

"What if their opinions are contrary to the factory's?"

"Well……"

In the darkness, when Yang Mi heard him use the term "factory" instead of "I", she understood what her husband meant and responded:

"That's right. Then... no matter what, the interests of friends must be guaranteed, right?"

"Yes."

Xu Xin turned around, hugged her and took a deep breath:

"Go to sleep. Will you come with me tomorrow?"

"No, I have a show tomorrow. But we can have dinner together at noon."

"Okay~"

…

February 12th.

Big Year.

Valentine's Day is approaching.

There are a lot of people coming today. Everyone from the "Scorching Sun" crew who is going to participate in the film festival will come today, including Lao Lang.

But the time is all at noon.

In the morning, when Xu Xin was having breakfast, he took a look at Zhong Changyou's movie viewing manual.

Not surprisingly, the prefix serial number of "Heart of the Burning Sun" is still "*1".

At the same time, he also brought over a stack of printed A4 papers.

"Director Xu, these are the reviews of each movie given by most film critics in five days... the more important thing is this list. This is the prediction of the winning list given by the Film Critics Association. But the list of

It’s hard to evaluate the accuracy, because sometimes it’s accurate and sometimes it’s not. But overall, our reputation in Berlin has improved!”

When saying this, Zhong Changyou tried his best to suppress his excitement.

After Xu Xin took over the list, he found that the content on it had been translated into Chinese.

Best Picture: "Heart of the Sun"

Jury Prize: "Baby Pose"

Best Director: "Heart of the Sun"*...

Seeing this, he raised his head in confusion:

"Why are we both the best picture and best director? And there's an asterisk?"

"In this film review prediction, the film critic does not cover all movies, but speculates on the film most likely to win in each position. If it is repeated, it will be marked with an asterisk. You can read on..."

Zhong Changyou pointed at the position on the paper, and Xu Xin saw that the name on [Best Script] was still "Scorching Sun".

But in the next column, which is Best Actor, a very interesting thing happened.

"Zhang Yi, Duan Yihong, Nazf Mujiqi, Paul Rudd"

"Does this mean that all four of them have a chance of winning the Best Actor Award?"

"Yes. Nazf Mujiqi is in "A Page", and Paul Rudd is in "Avalanche Prince". But I don't think the probability of "Avalanche Prince" is high. The film is adapted from last year's Icelandic film "The World".

"The Road Keeper at the End", I even looked for the original work to watch, and Paul Rudd's performance was not as good as Hilma Korgason's performance."

Xu Xin nodded slightly and looked at the next column.

Best Actress: "Yang Mi, Paulina Garcia"

When he saw his wife's name, his eyes moved and his heartbeat began to speed up for no reason.

I quickly took a deep breath and calmed down.

He just glanced at the next awards and passed them by.

Because in his eyes, these are the only valuable awards of the Golden Bear Award... If Best Newcomer had not been cancelled, then maybe he would still see if Shishi could be included... But these two awards were not included in the 51st Golden Bear Awards.

Then it was canceled directly. If Shishi is not nominated for Best Actress, it means there is no chance for the next awards.

After reading it, he didn't say anything.

As Zhong Changyou said, these are just predictions.

It’s not really a list of winners.

Putting the information aside, he said to Zhong Changyou:

"After the people from Paramount met with us today, Brother Zhong, come and talk to them. But there is an acquaintance of mine there. I will touch his bottom first and see what kind of style he is. You can talk normally, I

It depends."

"good."

Zhong Changyou responded and said:

"Then our bottom line remains unchanged?"

"Yeah, it won't change. The maximum split is still half and half, 26 per person. As for how many awards you are nominated for, how many are nominated for each award, how many awards you win, etc., it's up to you."

"Then if we can't reach an agreement..."

"If we can't agree, we'll go to another company. I told Director Zhang that the two companies that directed Zhang's "Jinling" are also good at it. Our biggest advantage is not the domestic box office, but the Italian box office. The Italian box office has already exceeded

55 million US dollars, this is the basis for our negotiation. They don’t have to recognize the Chinese market, but the Italian market, and the fact that the leading actors of this film are all Europeans, will be more popular in the North American market than Chinese films. You have to understand

, now we are not begging him, it is Paramount who wants to cooperate with us. Don’t they like to discuss business, so let’s do the same.”

"Okay, I understand."

Zhong Changyou nodded again.

Then, the two of them started to have breakfast.

After breakfast, Xu Xin returned to the room.

Yang Mi hadn't left yet. When she saw her husband coming back, she quickly said:

"You just happened to be back...here, take a look. You've caused trouble again."

"...?"

The expression on Xu Xin's face instantly became wonderful:

"What did I do again?... Isn't it the trouble caused by Xiao Zhou and the others?"

He subconsciously began to recall the content of his interview yesterday.

I'm trying to find where I am inappropriate.

But Yang Mi shook her head slightly:

"No, it's Korean...you are hated by Korean men."

"ah?"

At this time, Xu Xin was really confused.

The great cosmic powers have no grievances against me, so how come I am hated by them?

"why?"

"Here, see for yourself."

Yang Mi handed him the phone and then asked:
To be continued...
