That's right, compared to Akina, Takeshi Iwata's communication with Xu Feng is all in Chinese.

But this praise, it is impossible for Iwata Takeshi to lose anything, he said with a smile: "This is unacceptable."

"No, Mr. Iwata definitely deserves it. Well, let me tell you the real reason for coming this time."

This woman Xu Feng changed her mind, there is no way... Why is Takeshi Iwata so scary?

Yeah, laughing, it's like trying to kill someone, it's too scary.

Sometimes it is a good thing for a person to look too fierce.

So, what is the purpose of this woman?

It's also very simple.

"I believe that Mr. Iwata is also very clear that the film "Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or, which is already very successful, but it is only a success in awards. Such a successful film should also have Great box office, right?"

Takeshi Iwata nodded. He actually guessed it early in the morning, but he didn't want to take the initiative to say it. Right now, he can continue to point to this woman.

"So, you came to me just to help you with the box office? Let's just say it, I hope I can help you with some work in the North American film market, right?"

These words have been completely made clear, Xu Feng is very happy, but still a little shy.

"Mr. Iwata, that's true. However, I also know that many things require a price, so..."

"Well, it's good that you know."

Takeshi Iwata interrupted her, this woman actually wanted to wink at him, hum!

Xu Feng understood that he had to tell the conditions.

"If it is released, then, in terms of box office, we can share with Mr. Iwata."

into?

Takeshi Iwata smiled after hearing this, "The North American film market, as far as Chinese films are concerned, is really difficult to succeed. North America is actually the United States. The 'circle' created by this country in terms of culture is very strong. I also have to make American movies, so that I can get a certain amount of box office, and "Farewell My Concubine"..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Feng became impatient, "I believe this movie will definitely get a good box office. Mr. Iwata is the recommender of this movie. Are you so unconfident?"

Takeshi Iwata laughed again, "This has nothing to do with self-confidence, but a problem of cultural barriers, especially in movies, as far as the world is concerned at the moment, Hollywood movies are indeed top-notch.

So, let me ask you, if you were an American movie fan and you had Hollywood movies on one side and Chinese movies on the other, how would they choose? "

Xu Feng was stunned by the question, why didn't she understand?

However, I am really not reconciled!

If this film can be successfully operated, then my childhood dream will come true.

Xu Feng, she is the best female producer in Asia, no, the best filmmaker!

Regardless of how it is now, the cultural industry will definitely make money in the future.

Moreover, the main business of the family is now real estate, and they are doing well in all aspects, so they don't worry about money.

If we can find a way in the cultural industry, that would be great!

It can not only realize one's dream, but also help the family, so as not to make her husband's family feel that she is just a housewife material.

This meant a lot to Xu Feng.

Ever since, I gritted my teeth.

"Mr. Iwata, let's be honest, what kind of conditions do you want?"

Takeshi Iwata was a little helpless. He actually didn't want to operate this film. After all, from his perspective, there are too few Chinese films that can succeed in the United States.

This "Farewell My Concubine" is very good, but this movie does not have a very high commercial value.

It is more of a literary film, and many film critics also see it this way.

Especially in the North American market.

What kind of Chinese films can be successful in North America?

"hero".

Yes, it must be this kind, martial arts, and the production is beautiful, the camera and many scenes are not lost to Hollywood blockbusters.

Even Lao Mouzi's shot of the rain of arrows was later borrowed by many Hollywood blockbusters.

That was a special effect, and it was also made in the United States, but it was really different from before.

"Farewell My Concubine" did not earn more than 1000 million at the box office in Hong Kong, but it was very successful in our mainland because of that...

Not much to say.

So, this is a film that is difficult to succeed, how much will Takeshi Iwata get?

Moreover, if you want to work, you have to find some ways.

"Sister Xu, do you think that this movie can be successful as long as there is a wave of publicity and then a large-scale release?"

"???"

Xu Feng was a little dazed, couldn't this be successful?

Takeshi Iwata knew what this woman was thinking, she was still too young for the operation of the film.

Just look at her many failed cases later.

"Director Chen is not a particularly famous director in the United States, but the actors in this movie have the most appeal in the United States. I dare say that Gong Li is the strongest.

It is really difficult to sell a block. "

"Then, does Mr. Iwata have a good solution?"

"You must be thinking too, right?"

"Huh? What?"

"Take advantage of the Golden Globes and Oscars."

Takeshi Iwata wasn't even asking, Xu Feng was struck by lightning.

This man is not only fierce, but also too powerful!

Iwata continued: "If Farewell My Concubine wins an Oscar, Best Picture or Best Foreign Language Film, that would help, but, do you think it's easy?"

Of course Xu Feng had such an idea, but she has absolutely no ability in this area!

"Mr. Iwata, do you have any conditions? If I can do it?"

Xu Feng is now tantamount to surrendering.

Iwata Takeshi said something that Xu Feng hadn't thought of at all.

"Hainan in mainland China doesn't seem to be having a good time recently, does it?"

Xu Feng was immediately stunned.

How did this suddenly involve Hainan?

However, what Takeshi Iwata said was true.

It should be said that last year, Hainan's real estate collapsed.

This is the first real estate bubble to burst in the history of Hainan, probably since the housing reform.

And there are two people who became very famous later, one is Feng Lun and the other is Pan Shiyi.

These two guys were speculating on Hainan's real estate. The speculation collapsed, and they left the mess and ran to the capital.

A famous telegram was also sent.

Stupid people, rich money, hurry up.

That's right, it's in the capital, and it's starting to stir up speculation again.

So, how did Hainan get rid of this mess?

Takeshi Iwata is very clear, because at this time the head of Hainan is from the Northeast, and the people in the Northeast still have money at this time, so just go back and ask for help.

Ever since, this is how the four eastern provinces came.

At that time, many people in the Northeast were fooled into buying houses, but then the housing prices rose, so some people must be jealous.

Takeshi Iwata now, he wants to save this 'crash' too.

However, he is Japanese, so it is difficult to deal with it. Xu Feng's family happens to be in real estate business.

Takeshi Iwata's layout is not small. He plans to build a large-scale tourism, hotel, film and television shooting in Hainan, such a big project!

Xu Feng said go back and think about it, of course Iwata Takeshi is not good at forcing him.

He believed that this woman's ambition would make her agree.

As for the next meal, of course I will talk to Mingcai's wife about this matter, but after eating...

"Mr. Iwata, we have a plan."

"What plan?"

The Weinstein brothers called, which made Takeshi Iwata curious, what is the plan?

"It's about next year's Oscars."

Chapter 388 Hollywood, the volume is flying

"We can't guarantee 100 percent."

"However, the success rate should still be high."

"Someone has developed a mathematical model, maybe you can try it."

"This matter seems to be rather weird, but mathematics is actually just a help to us, and it doesn't really mean that we can win after calculating."

"However, the success rate is really high."

"Mr. Iwata, you can try it."

It's interesting, when Takeshi Iwata and the Weinstein brothers met, it was as if they had joined an MLM organization. It was a good promotion for Takeshi Iwata, oh yes, it was to explain this 'mathematical model'.

In fact, this so-called "mathematical model" was created by a math teacher. As for why you believe this guy, according to the two Weinstein brothers, they have seen the "evidence" with their own eyes.

What is the evidence?

It was these two guys who followed this math teacher, and the three of them went to Las Vegas.

We all know what Las Vegas is for.

We all know that casinos never lose.

Unless it was driven by that guy Trump.

However, on that day, the three of them kept winning, well, they just lost a few games sporadically, but it didn't matter.

This simply shocked the two brothers, they have never seen it before.

They just play blackjack, how can they still do this?

They didn't choose to leave with the fruits of victory until they realized that something was wrong with the eyes of the casino security guard.

After that, the two of them completely believed everything the math teacher said.

Yes, anyone who has seen such a miracle will believe it.

And, it's also true.

Takeshi Iwata remembered that there was a movie called "Blackjack", probably with this name, and it had such a plot in it, and it was adapted from real events.

There is a novel, and the author of the novel seems to be that guy.

In addition, there is a mathematician of Chinese descent in the United States who is also very good. He has accurately predicted the NBA draft many times, and later he simply started the business of general election probability.

It is true that Americans are not good at mathematics. Most of them don't even know how to count without a calculator, but some people are really good at it.

This country is like that.

So what's up with the current model?

"Well, let's elaborate."

The Weinstein brothers were delighted by Iwata's interest.

Now as long as Takeshi Iwata can be made happy, the two of them will be happy.
