Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

Chapter 208 Louis-Meyer

"I know that I am very poor now, but please believe me, I can do this job well. I have many ideals. For example, I can make Spanish movies truly develop into a world-class movie kingdom."

“Isn’t that what’s happening in Spanish cinema right now?”

"No, absolutely not. Now, I watched the world-shaking movie "The Life of a Merchant in Madrid" which was released in Spain this year. It's a very touching story and a very profitable model. That's the operating model I want, too. I have already given a name to the type of movie I have always wanted to create, and it is called commercial movie."

"It's a very good idea, but do you think I will believe what you say? I will find a random person and listen to him, hello, I can accept the work of building a commercial film kingdom in your country, and then I just reflected to us that this young man who is only 24 years old this year is worthy of trust. Please give him a chance. He will do a good job and realize our dreams, because his dreams are the same as ours. You Say, if I say this, will I get the understanding above, sir?" [

When Meyer heard this, he immediately felt uncomfortable in his heart. Yes, even he himself felt that his thoughts were very idiotic. Why should he think that he was qualified for such a job? Could it be that his confidence was really inflated? Has it reached that point? But why do people use so many resources to conduct experiments on themselves?

No, your confidence comes from your trust in yourself. If you even start to doubt yourself now, then who will provide you with the opportunity to realize your dream.

"Sir, I think you misunderstood me." After thinking of this, Meyer's face regained its confidence.

The man looked at the man named Meyer with some confusion. He lowered his head just now and looked regretful after being told a few words by him. Now he recovered so quickly. Not to mention other things, but this kind of strong quality. He has already scored 50 points out of 100, and the remaining 50 points will depend on his real qualities.

"Misunderstood you? Then I would like to hear your opinion."

"I know that Spanish film is now officially at an important stage of development. It is also the country that attaches most importance to film in the world. Although before that, due to the inventions of Edison and the French brothers, those two countries were also developing the film industry.

However, in my opinion, Spain provides the most powerful conditions and surrounding environment for the development of film. "

Seeing that the man was still unmoved, Meyer certainly knew that just a few words could not impress him, so he did not feel relieved.

"I think I can provide a plan to your superiors. If your superiors approve my plan, I think we will be able to see each other many times in the future. If you don't accept it, then I think I will You can give up on leaving the United States and go to Spain to develop."

"Well, I will submit it. Of course, at this time, the plan you provide will not be too bad at least. You know, I may also be fired, so please forgive me. I can only do this." many"

Meyer looked at the other person gratefully and said, "Thank you very much for your adventure."

"Oh, I wish it were the opposite"

"Anyway, I'm grateful. Now I'd better tell you my opinion."

"Yeah, I'm listening."

"Actually, I started to have this idea a long time ago. Yes, you may not believe it, but I did come here. After I took refuge in the United States from Ukraine for some reasons, I finally found a job. I worked as a photographer in a film company owned by Edison, but the good times did not last long. Edison liked to be so self-righteous. Oh, please forgive me for saying bad things about others here. I couldn't help but do this."

"I'll keep it a secret, but I think maybe next time I won't."

"Thank you. He likes to be arbitrarily involved in all aspects, which brings a lot of trouble to us people. In the end, our crew was disbanded."

"Is this what it is like now?"

"Yes, even so, I don't regret it, because I know where I am, I am just a tool, a tool that can only be operated by others, the kind without thoughts, I think I am Ke Yu's participation Designers, especially those related to film, are very grateful to Barcelona Film Company for coming to the United States to launch a film talent recruitment fair. This opportunity is rare, and I think I will cherish it."[

"So your plan is, you know, this is what I need, even though you said it brilliantly"

Upon hearing this, Meyer immediately cursed secretly that he had gone off topic again. He quickly revealed his plan.

"Are you saying that in your plan, you think Spain should support a large number of private film industries to participate in the development of Spanish films?"

"Yes, I think it would be difficult for the government to take into account all aspects if it relied solely on the government. After all, everyone likes to do different things, and everyone likes to watch different movies. In this way, the government Film companies often have to shrink their hands sometimes for some reasons. I see this from a political perspective. For example, the current situation in Europe is tense, and the relationship between the United States and Spain is not too stable. Under such premise, if Spanish domestically produced If the movie is made, I think that if it wants to influence the United States, the Spanish film must not have elements that are against the United States. Otherwise, it will definitely face resistance. The same is true in other countries, but private film companies are different. Well, it can be said that this is a private behavior and has nothing to do with the country. This is a good way to handle the relationship between Spain and the citizens and government of the host country.

Of course, the most important point is that I think this financial problem must also be bothering the Spanish government. If the two were private, then there would be no such headache. Even because of tax reasons, the government would still make a profit without losing money. Get money to supplement fiscal revenue. "

"However, you should know that a strong country needs cultural transmission. If it is like what you said now, then what will happen if it does not make money or the tone escapes the control of the government? This is a big public opinion issue. .I think with your intelligence, you should know what I want to say."

"So I prepared a second supplementary plan"

"Replenish?"

Although Meyer still looked more serious there, the great confidence in his eyes gave the people opposite him a lot of hope in him.

"So, I think the government should establish a cinema school in Barcelona at that time. This school was specially established to train filmmakers. It can allow filmmakers to develop more professionally and provide a steady stream of talents to the society. In this case, the society will then be filled with talents from Spanish film schools. At that time, I believe that they who are grateful to Spain will not do anything that violates morals. And even if they do, I will still There are other ways to prevent them from making such an impulse." Meyer's proud smile fell into the eyes of the man opposite. Although he didn't like the sudden proud and complacent smile of the other party, he still chose to ask about the information revealed by the connection now that he was itchy.

"If the government is really worried about public opinion issues, I think we can do one more thing here at home, and that is to establish an award,"

"Award?"

"Yes, a professional organized by the Academy will evaluate Spanish films, hold a grand awards ceremony, and then use Spain's strength in the media industry to vigorously promote these award-winning films to every Spanish film. Corner, then the number of viewers of these movies will definitely be greatly affected by this. The combination of government, media, awards, and these data can put all kinds of pressure on filmmakers for profits and honors. I think , as a private filmmaker, he will definitely give up that idea for the sake of these profits and honors. If by then this film festival has established a solid influence in Spain, it can counterattack in foreign countries and set up a follow-up of foreign films. Many awards, in this way, everything will be based on Spanish films, so for the sake of profit and honor, foreign film companies will implement the same standards that are best for Spain like Spanish film companies."

Their films are generally shown in their countries, and films that are not biased against Spain or even have a favorable impression of Spain are formed without us having to say much, and we are just like a transit station to let them come to us. We just go back after a round trip. Of course, there are good movies that are played here and transfer our money, but since it is a good movie, it is good for the people to enjoy it, which will increase the enthusiasm of foreign film companies. "

"Oh, very good." Although the person opposite said this, he was actually completely stunned. What a close chain this is. He believed that even a person who didn't understand movies very well could operate this design method. , then, this matter is definitely very feasible. He has thought about finding someone to implement it on his behalf. After all, if it is done, the benefits will definitely be great, but this is just his thought. As a member of Colson Hunter Company, , naturally understand the cruel consequences of their profession.

"What specific awards are you talking about?"

Meyer was certain in his heart that he knew that he had succeeded more than 90% of the time, and he felt very excited. "Actresses, actors, directors, screenwriters, photographers, and producers"

"By the way, what's your full name?"

"Louis Meyer"

Spain, Barcelona Royal Palace.

Alfonso admits that he has always paid great attention to the spread of culture. Therefore, as long as he follows relevant things, he will try his best to lay a good foundation. Newspapers and media that already exist widely in the world, as well as radio broadcasts that are still popular in Europe . Plus the films that are just beginning to develop in France and the United States. So this is what he cares about most. He has always wanted to find a like-minded person to help him develop his Spanish film career. However, he found few that matched his ideas. Especially this time on my way back north to Copenhagen, I deliberately visited Barcelona, ​​the only movie-like place in Spain. Take another look before deciding. But I didn't expect that I would gain something as soon as I arrived. The headhunting company began to provide lists again, but I didn't know whether the candidates this time were in line with my wishes.

"This man, what's his name?"[
