2065 [Going through the back door]
Two hundred and fifty million East Demarks piled up there, to be honest, the scene was indeed very spectacular.
Being in the mountains of money makes everyone unrestrained. Even Monica Bellucci's face showed a fascination when he saw so much money.
Xia Tian stayed in the money treasury for nearly half an hour before he was reluctant to leave the money treasury.
"The money must be transferred to East Germany as soon as possible." He ordered Wang Bingkun, the head of the West German side, to say.
"Yes, boss." Wang Bingkun nodded immediately, "I am planning to collect 300 million Dongdemarks and then join them together."
"Okay, you are the front-line person in charge and you need to know more about the situation than me. You can take care of this matter yourself. But be careful, be cautious and be steady first." Xia Tian instructed.
"Yes, boss, I will definitely pay attention." Wang Bingkun nodded.
"That's it. According to my opinion, the general trend of the merger of East and West Germany has been completed, and the arrow is on the string will be a result this year. You should do it well! After finishing the work here, I will definitely use you after returning to Hong Kong!" Xia Tian encouraged again.
"Yes, boss." Wang Bingkun immediately responded with a smile when he heard this.
...
After visiting the East-West Germany trading company and confirming that his investment was safe, Xia Tiantian immediately left Berlin and returned to Hong Kong.
Before leaving, he introduced Monica Beluch to director Roberto Benini, hoping that he could arrange for her to play a role in the movie "Beautiful Life".
Faced with summer's request, Roberto Benini happily agreed but did not refuse.
In fact, the entertainment industry has always been concerned with connections. There are many examples of people who want roles through the back door, and even big directors and big stars cannot avoid the vulgarity.
Like Emma Roberts's first film star, she partnered with big star Johnny Depp and played his daughter; Jaycee Chan's first album debuted was the music godfather Lee Jun-sung as producer; Jayden Smith was able to collaborate with Will Smith as soon as she debuted, and she became the male lead at the age of fifteen...
The reason why these people are one step ahead of others at the beginning is not because of how outstanding they are, but because of their deep background.
Emma Roberts' aunt is Julia Roberts, one of the most well-known actresses in Hollywood; Jaycee Chan's father is an internationally renowned movie star, Cheng Long, the "big brother" of the Hong Kong entertainment industry; Jaden Smith's father is Will Smith, known as the "Shihuang Emperor", so when filming movies, he is given priority to filming with his son. They all go through the back door.
As an investor in "Beautiful Life" and the screenwriter of this movie, it is normal for Xia Tian to put someone in the crew now.
Roberto Bernini was able to direct and star in this movie, and he felt that he owed a lot of favor from Summer, so he was very happy to arrange Monica Bernic to play the role.
In fact, if he hadn't been used to working with his wife Nickletta Brasky, he would have been a famous couple in the film industry. In addition, Monica Bellucci was really young and his acting skills were not very good, so he would have been determined to let her play the heroine.
However, although Monica Bellucci failed to play the heroine, Roberto Bellini arranged for her to play a very important role, which was very outstanding. Of course, this is a story later.
Monique Bellucci was also very surprised to be able to work with Roberto Bellini.
Roberto Benini is an Italian national treasure actor and has the reputation of "The Chaplin of Italy". In terms of status analogy, it is equivalent to Mr. Ge from the mainland and Stephen Chow from Hong Kong.
As a newcomer who has just debuted, it is not an exaggeration to say that Monica Bellucci is lucky enough to work with such a big star.
She is also very grateful to Xia Tian for introducing this opportunity to her. Otherwise, she would like to cooperate with others, but she would not know that she would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.
"Mr. Xia, thank you so much." She said to Xia Tian sincerely.
"Don't be so polite to me. You are my woman. It's time to support you." Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled, "You must really express gratitude. Let's spend time with me this night before I leave."
After hearing what he said, Monica Bellucci immediately understood and smiled charmingly.
...
After a night of lingering feelings, Xia Tian led the team back to Hong Kong.
Therefore, the "Big Red Lantern" invested by him won two awards: Best Director Award and Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, which also made the Hong Kong people feel honored.
"It's summer after all, and the vision is good. The movies you invest in are so good, and you can win awards internationally. I don't know when it will be released in Hong Kong, so let us see it."
"I heard that the story of "The Big Red Lantern Hanging High" was written by Xia Tian. Since it was written by him, the quality was naturally undeniable. It must be a fine product for summer."
"Berlin is a blessed place in summer, much better than going to Cannes. The filming of "Raw Eat" was very satisfying, but I was shortlisted but couldn't win a single award. Unlike Berlin, I went there twice, and I won the highest award both times."
The Hong Kong people were talking and were happy for him to win the award. Therefore, when summer came back, it immediately became the focus of media pursuit. Not only Tianxia Media wanted to interview him, but even the Oriental Daily, Sing Tao Daily, South China Morning Post and other media wanted to interview him.
Xia Tiantian gave priority to taking care of his own media, accepted interviews with Tiantian Daily and Ming Pao, and shared some interesting stories encountered at film festivals, their mood when they won the award, etc. These gossips made both newspapers lose their sales after they were launched.
As for interview invitations from other media, Xia Tian refused without exception. These media swayed between him and the HSBC, and had slandered him. Now that these lawsuits have not been completed, he naturally refused to sell them for their face.
...
After two days of rest, Xia Tian returned to the company and there were two good news waiting for him.
First, "The Big Red Lantern Hanging High" was officially released in the mainland. Because the film just won two important awards: Best Director Award and Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, it has gained my country's popularity, so it has attracted national attention. It was popular as soon as it was released, and the box office was extremely good. It has only been less than five days since it was released, and the box office has exceeded 100 million, which is a box office miracle.
Second, the winning and popular screening of "The Big Red Lantern" also made the investor Tianxia Pictures (a mainland branch) the focus. Previously, Liu Xiaoqing and Tianxia Pictures broke the contract lawsuit, which scared many mainland artists so much that they did not dare to sign contracts with the company.
Chapter completed!
