American Scandal King

Chapter 239 Documentary Planning (Part )
The negotiations that day were very pleasant.

The two sides quickly reached a consensus on various matters. China will try its best to help Ian Carr expand his overseas business and provide all possible support, and Carr Media will also report on China's information as positively as possible.

In addition, there is military-industrial cooperation.

Hua Ziruo introduced Ian to a domestic military-industrial group. Ian would directly open a company in China to purchase Chinese weapons and equipment, but the whereabouts of these equipment must be reported to China.

Ian said that this was no problem, and he had no intention of hiding it. After all, his interests were now in sync with China's, and they both achieved their own success by bleeding the United States.

Finally, there was one more cooperation, but it was proposed by Hua Ziruo.

He hopes Ian can shoot a documentary in China to record the changes in China over the years and everything the Chinese government has done for the people's livelihood.

This is actually a request - Carl Media's simple neutral reporting is not enough, it should at least provide some better reports, such as documentaries produced by Chinese people themselves.

Honestly, this is a bit difficult for Ian.

A documentary produced by the Chinese themselves will definitely speak well of China in all aspects. Its political tendency is too obvious and does not conform to Ian Carr's position of being "orderly neutral" on the surface but "chaotic neutral" in reality.

If LANN broadcasts this documentary, his political leanings will be directly questioned by the American people, which will be detrimental to future developments.

But if you don’t even dare to release a documentary, China will also doubt how far you can go?
This is not conducive to subsequent cooperation.

The United States is a capital-oriented country. Unless capital controls the entire country, it is impossible to make all Americans serve it - not to mention that it cannot be done now, it will not be possible even after another 20 years of development!

The bigger a company grows, the more wary the government will be of it. The way Microsoft was almost split up is still fresh in our memory. As Ian's company continues to expand in the future, he will have to deal with attacks from all angles.

Now he is advancing with all his strength.

In the future, we may have to devote half of our energy to defense, and in the end it may be full-time defense. Maintaining our size is victory!
But China is different. It's a policy-oriented country. They're willing to help me, and the benefits of riding this wave are huge! Moreover, for China, no matter how much Ian's business develops in the United States, it poses no threat to them. After Ian showed enough goodwill, they even hoped that Ian could grow strong enough.

We welcome people like you to become Chinese citizens!
So this job must be done!

After pondering this question, Ian replied to Hua Ziruo: "A documentary can be made and released, but the content must be cautious. It shouldn't overtly promote China, but rather be relatively subtle. The best approach would be to create an Ian Carr travelogue about China."

This plan caught the Chinese side's attention.

feasible!

Ian Carr came to China and took the opportunity to tour around the country.

He doesn't need to say anything good about the country, he just needs to present a realistic picture.

An excellent director can express anything he wants to express through camera language and images.

For example, you want to promote the security of China.

You don't need to say that China's nights are safe and that you go to the night market every night for a late-night snack. You can just say, "It's twelve o'clock in the evening. I came to a night market in a certain place to eat. There are a lot of people here. Everyone is very happy. Some of them know me and are very enthusiastic to invite me to dinner."

There's no need to flatter, just speak the facts, that's enough!
Ian Carr is a master at using himself to make news, and he's a celebrity. It's only natural for him to make a travel documentary when he comes to China for business, right? And with the added bonus of being a celebrity, the effect will be great and the coverage will be widespread!

Ian even promised that he would never use any hellish filters. He would show whatever you filmed - but he had to have the right to review and edit. This documentary was to be done quietly, not publicly promoted.

Anyway, the documentary was made by a Chinese. I just spent one dollar to buy it and play it. If there are any problems, you can't find me.

Under such circumstances, China quickly made arrangements.

The radio and television department directly found Zhao Xiaoding for Ian. He is Zhang Yimou's personal photographer and a director himself. At the same time, Zhang Yimou was also asked to help as the chief director. China had just successfully bid for the Olympic Games last year, and Zhang Yimou became the chief director. However, the documentary does not take long, so it is not a big problem for him to distract himself to help. The main task is art direction.

Zhang Yimou’s camera language and picture skills are absolutely amazing!

In addition, the Radio, Film and Television Bureau also arranged a number of actors and crew members to come, all of whom are the best people in the country.

Actors aren't there to disguise themselves, but to showcase their true beauty—even now, squinty eyes are still a popular trend in Hollywood. This documentary can help to counteract the perception of squinty eyes to a certain extent, but it's hard to say whether it will be of any use to the Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts.

The crew quickly prepared and started to plan an itinerary for Ian, which was called "Ian Carr's Trip to China".

The content design is that Ian Carr comes to China to negotiate investment in China with major companies, walks along the mountains and rivers of China, and appreciates the local customs and culture.

It really is a good balance between work and life.

Under the powerful state machinery, the crew quickly completed preparations. At the end of November, they started filming the first stop, BJ.

That evening, the crew prepared a dinner at the hotel.

Tomorrow is the start day, so everyone will get together for dinner today.

Important figures from radio and television arrived one after another, and Ian was naturally the host.

Along the way, he communicated freely with various bosses, including Zhang Yimou, and his kind words and fluent Chinese made all Chinese people praise him.

At this moment, Lao Mouzi raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "Mr. Karl, have you lived in China before? Your Chinese is so standard that it surprises me."

Ian smiled and said, "Chinese is a beautiful language. It can express the most perfect meaning with the fewest characters, and it can even convey artistic conception. Any language can express content, but most languages ​​lack the ability to convey artistic conception."

As he spoke, Ian recited: "A horse with five-colored furs, a fur coat worth a thousand gold, I'll call my son to go out and exchange it for fine wine, so that we can share our eternal sorrows... This poem by Mr. Du Fu is simply wonderful."

A voice nearby laughed and said, "Mr. Karl is wrong. This is a poem by Li Bai."

Ian deliberately said something wrong. He always had to appear a little inadequate to make it seem real and to make it easier to build closer relationships.

At this moment, Ian looked back and saw a beautiful woman standing there.

Zhang Ziyi.

Zhang Ziyi, now 23 years old, is in the prime of her youth. She has already gained considerable fame, and thanks to her connections with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, she has begun to expand her reputation overseas - a typical example of a flower blooming inside the wall but smelling good outside.

The reason why she appeared here was not because of the invitation from the Radio and Television Bureau, but because she wanted to come here on her own.

Although Ian Carr is not a famous director in Hollywood, his status in Hollywood is unquestionable - the support from Ian Carr is more effective than the support from those Hollywood film and television giants, which is very important for Miss Zhang who wants to go the international route!

Lao Mouzi was somewhat dissatisfied and glared at Zhang Ziyi.

You talk too much, do you need to point out the guests' mistakes? You don't know any etiquette!

Ian smiled at Zhang Ziyi and said, "Ah, so it's Mr. Li Bai. I'm so ignorant. Thank you Miss Zhang for your guidance."

Zhang Ziyi pretended not to notice Lao Mouzi's dissatisfied look and asked excitedly, "Mr. Karl knows me?"

Ian nodded: "My Parents is a good movie, and Jade Fox in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is also very good. I like it very much."

With just one sentence, he flattered both Zhang Yimou and Zhang Ziyi, which made everyone like him very much.

Ian said, "It seems my Chinese still has many shortcomings and lacks depth. I hope Miss Zhang can give me more guidance in the future."

Zhang Ziyi smiled: "Okay!"

In the other person's eyes, Ian saw the desire he had been looking forward to!

I have learned Korean, and I can learn Chinese... I can also learn Chinese.
