Hello, 1983

Liu Qingshan originally wanted to stay at the Spring City Automobile Factory for two more days, but the phone calls came one after another, just like a reminder.

He had no choice but to settle Gromov and others, and then return to Jiapigou.

As for Gromov and others, there is no phenomenon of being unaccustomed to the soil and water. On the contrary, they are eating and drinking here, and they are simply overjoyed.

Liu Qingshan returned home, picked up Wu Tong, went to the capital together, and then flew to the United States to be invited to attend the Oscars ceremony.

This year's awards ceremony was held on the 30th of this month.

In Longteng Film and Television City, Wang Zhan's office, Liu Qingshan saw Director Zhang who was full of spring breeze.

The red lantern shot by Director Zhang was nominated for the best foreign language film, so he was also invited to attend the ceremony.

Of course, the heroine of this movie is also indispensable. Actor Gong is also with Director Zhang.

However, Liu Qingshan knew that the two would soon part ways.

Liu Qingshan was invited because of his status as the boss of Columbia Pictures.

And the company's film Forrest Gump has won a number of nominations.

There is also Wu Tong, not as a foil for Liu Qingshan, the cartoon Lion King, also won a nomination: Best Original Music Award.

At present, the Oscars have not yet established the award for feature-length animation.

That's why those cartoons work hard on music. That's why.

Several people gathered together and chatted while drinking tea.

Wu Tong was not here, but went to the company under the big tree.

It's been a long time since she went to work, and she still misses that Kung Fu Panda.

"Brother Qingshan, I'm very nervous right now. I don't know if the red lantern will win the award?" Director Zhang is still looking forward to this movie.

Although this film was invested by the film and television city, Liu Qingshan did not expect much at the domestic box office. It is better to count on the North American box office.

Until next year, in 1993, the reform of the film industry will officially begin.

And the real release, that is already something after 2002.

In Liu Qingshan's memory, the box office of the Big Red Lantern in North America was more than 2.6 million.

at that time,

This box office has been quite good, and it can basically pay back.

It is also the highest-grossing Chinese-language film in North America so far.

Seeing that Director Zhang also looked like a student facing the college entrance examination, Liu Qingshan smiled and comforted: "Director Zhang, we must first have confidence in ourselves."

"That's the reason." Director Zhang nodded, "But in my heart, it still doesn't come to the fore."

There is no way to do this. Liu Qingshan can only change the subject and talk about other things: "Director Zhang, I heard that the Olympic bid committee invited you to send a promotional video?"

Director Zhang nodded. After successfully hosting the Asian Games in 1990, in 1991, he started the plan to bid for the 2000 Olympic Games.

Following the last Asian Games fever, a more vigorous Olympic fever has emerged nationwide.

But in the next year, the result will be known, and in the end it will be lost by two votes.

It seems to be the difference between two votes, but in fact, it is the gap between national strength and international influence.

You haven't gotten to that point yet, you just can't.

After a painful remorse, he finally successfully won the right to host the 2008 Olympic Games.

In fact, this failed experience is also very good. It makes the Chinese people face the reality correctly and know more clearly who is a friend in the end.

In fact, this is the same as interpersonal relationships: see you later.

Director Zhang in front of him was the chief director of the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games. Liu Qingshan was still deeply impressed by that opening ceremony.

After chatting for a while, we finished eating at the film and television city, and made an appointment to leave together tomorrow. Director Zhang and the others said their goodbyes.

The next day, Liu Qingshan took Li Tieniu and others by plane and flew to Los Angeles.

It was another long flight, but Liu Qingshan and Wu Tong were okay. After all, they were young, but Director Zhang felt a little tired physically and mentally.

After finally landing at the airport in Los Angeles, he was surrounded by a large group of entertainment reporters.

The Oscars ceremony is just around the corner, and many reporters are waiting at the airport.

Especially when they saw Mr. Mountain, the darling of the media, reporters from all walks of life flocked to him.

In dealing with reporters, Liu Qingshan has always been calm and calm. Faced with reporters' questions, he will answer them lightly.

The most frequently asked question by reporters is whether Forrest Gump can win the grand prize.

Among the various Oscar awards, such as best director, best actor and actress, etc., the weight is of course the heaviest.

Liu Qingshan didn't dare to pull too full, it would be troublesome if he slapped his face.

The reporters couldn't help but feel a little resentful. Although Forrest Gump's movie was excellent, last year, there was another classic movie, and the reputation was not inferior to Forrest Gump.

This movie is Silence of the Lambs.

In the film, the classic image of Dr. Hannibal was created. In Liu Qingshan's memory, the film won almost all awards such as best picture, best actor and actress, best director and so on.

Now Forrest Gump is two years ahead of schedule, just in the same year as Lamb, so there is naturally fierce competition.

At the box office, The Silence of the Lambs also entered the billion-dollar club, and the North American box office was more than 130 million.

In this respect, it is still a little worse than Forrest Gump.

The reporters were waiting for Liu Qingshan to make a big noise, and finally they were slapped in the face by the silent lamb, but unfortunately they did not get their wish.

On the contrary, Liu Qingshan focused on introducing Director Zhang and his masterpiece at his peak: the red lantern hanging high.

The film, which has been handed over to Columbia Pictures for distribution, will soon be released in North America, in the form of Chinese original sound and English subtitles.

In fact, if the dubbing is used, the box office will be better.

But Director Zhang felt that it would lose its original charm, and Liu Qingshan also felt that it was true, so he didn't bother.

And Wu Tong, who was also pushed to the front by Liu Qingshan, was also interviewed.

The Lion King is so hot here, if it wasn't for an animated movie, there's hope to compete with Forrest Gump and the Lamb for the grand prize.

However, because the original music in it was written by Liu Qingshan and integrated into the classic music of the musical The Lion King, it is almost a sure thing to win the Best Music Award.

After responding to the reporter, Liu Qingshan and his party joined Xiao Li and others who came to pick up the plane, entered the city, and checked into the hotel.

After taking a bath and taking a rest, Liu Qingshan completely eliminated the fatigue of the journey.

Xiao Li has been waiting for a long time. On the one hand, he is eager to make achievements in this Oscar, on the other hand, it is about the investment of the family.

Although there are many representatives sent by the family on Maozi's side, Xiao Li believes in Liu Qingshan more, especially Liu Qingshan has just returned from Maozi's side.

Xiao Li also brought another major investor, Lao Ba, along with Professor Peter.

"Teacher, your complexion looks very good." Liu Qingshan and Professor Peter hugged first.

Then Laoba: "Mr. Warren, you too, is it because of the effect of drinking tiger bone wine?"

Several people laughed together, Lao Ba said: "If you don't say tiger bone wine, I almost forgot, that wine is almost drunk, and when your master comes back, you have to trouble yourself and give it another dip. vice."

The one in his mouth is, of course, a complete pair of tiger bones.

Liu Qingshan couldn't help smacking his lips: "Hundreds of kilograms of tiger bone wine are enough even for bathing."

"Haha, mainly because some old friends heard the news and came to ask for it, and I couldn't refuse." Laoba shrugged helplessly.

"It's not that you show off to others." Liu Qingshan is actually very happy. Medicinal wine is also an important branch of traditional Chinese medicine, and it also has promotion significance.

If foreigners are addicted to drinking it, it would be good.

Let’s chat a few words and get to the point.

Professor Peter took out a journal first, which was last year's "Review of Economics".

Turning to Liu Qingshan's paper, Professor Peter's eyes showed a look of great relief: "Liu, congratulations, another successful prediction."

This is a predictive paper on the economic situation in Maozi. At the beginning of its publication, it was questioned and ridiculed by many economists.

But with the development of time, facts have proved everything. Those who had the most trouble in the early stage had their faces swollen.

Lao Ba also interjected with a smile: "Liu, now you have a new nickname on Wall Street, and they all call you the Prophet of the East."

"Someone has studied your papers over the years, from predicting major stock market disasters, to predicting the collapse of the bubble economy in island countries, to the crazy devaluation of the ruble, all of which are very accurate."

"The people on Wall Street are now waiting for your baton. Wherever your baton points, they will rush to wherever they are."

Liu Qingshan said twice: "Mr. Warren, you are trying to kill my junior."

Laoba shook his head solemnly: "No, this is the most fair evaluation of you, Liu, thank you."

Of course, he would like to thank Liu Qingshan, because the investment of him and Xiao Li and others has been determined to have a huge return.

Now it depends on whether the return is ten times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times.

As for those investors on Wall Street, if they want to go there now, they will definitely not be able to eat meat, and at most they will drink some soup.

The first is the strongest, and the same applies in the economic field.

Xiao Li also said with a smile: "Mr. Prophet, I think you should predict how much profit we can get?"

Liu Qingshan shook his head: "I can only tell you frankly, it is still uncertain, and there is even a risk of losing everything. If the government over there really does not recognize the value of bonds, our money will be lost. already."

This is of course the worst possibility, and the probability of occurrence is very low.

However, Liu Qingshan still has to beat Xiao Li, so as not to lift his tail before things are successful, which is very undesirable.

Xiao Li shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, if you lose everyone, you are the biggest investor anyway."

Hahaha, everyone laughed together.

After Liu Qingshan finished talking about the operation strategy on Maozi's side, Laoba and Xiao Li naturally had no objection. They knew that Liu Qingshan had the most say in this regard.

At the end of the exchange, Xiao Li said excitedly again: "Liu, my friend, there is good news, which makes me very envious, do you want to hear it?"

Liu Qingshan spread his hands, indicating that it doesn't matter.

Xiao Li also rejoiced: "That's great, I'll get rid of ti's reporters now, and I'll tell them, Mr. Mountain, that he's not interested at all about the cover of Times Magazine last time!"
