    ?

    Yuan Qiaoqiao was stunned when she heard her aunt talking on the phone in Cantonese skillfully. She remembered that when she accompanied her to Hong Kong to film the movie "Sometimes to Dance", she didn't seem to be able to speak Cantonese. How long had it been?  It's really surprising that everything is said so well.

    After hanging up the phone, Gu Huxin looked at her niece's bright eyes staring at her. She subconsciously lowered her head and looked at herself. She didn't find anything worthy of her staring at so intently. She asked with a smile, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

    "I'm jealous right now. Auntie, you've only been in Xiangjiang for a short time, and you can speak Cantonese so well. I've been learning Cantonese since I came to the Imperial Capital two years ago, even though it was intermittent, but it's been almost two years, and although I can also  I said it, but compared with you, it¡¯s still a little bit behind. Your language talent is really good.¡±

    "What a good thing." Gu Huxin recalled: "The place where I went to the countryside was in Guangxi, and the people there spoke Cantonese.

    Not to mention that there are not many people who can speak Mandarin in the village. Even if you leave the village and go to the towns, there are still not many people who can speak Mandarin. It¡¯s hard to come across a few who can speak Mandarin. Their accent is similar to how people in Xiangjiang speak Mandarin now.  Not only does it sound difficult, but it is often misheard.

    There was no other way. In order not to be deaf or mute, I had no choice but to do as the locals do and learn how other people speak. It took me more than half a year to understand and speak.

    Later, when I returned to Shanghai, no one around me spoke Cantonese, so I threw it aside.  Now that I need to deal with Xiangjiang, I picked it up again.  "

    Knowing that her aunt learned Cantonese in her early years, Yuan Qiaoqiao asked in surprise: "But last time you went to Xiangjiang with me, I didn't seem to hear you speak Cantonese?"

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????: "Why didn't you say?"

    Zhu Guiyun came out with a pot of zucchini, snail, soybean and fan bone soup, which has the effects of clearing away heat, relieving heat, and reducing swelling. He happened to hear this and said with a smile: "I am learning Cantonese, but I am learning Cantonese slowly because I am older, but  Simple daily conversations are no problem, and you don¡¯t have to worry about me not being able to get home when you go out, so next time you go to Xiangjiang, I can go with you."

    Although Hong Kong is an international city, after Yuan Qiaoqiao went there, she felt that it was not an open city. On the contrary, it was actually quite closed. As Zhu Guiyun just said, if you don¡¯t know a few words in Cantonese, you may really  Can't find a home.  This point has not changed much even after more than 20 years of return.

    "But I really didn't speak Cantonese when I was on the crew." Gu Huxin said while serving soup: "The people in Hong Kong look down on mainlanders, and it has nothing to do with whether we can speak Cantonese. And my Cantonese, in the eyes of others,  If it¡¯s not authentic, even if they know I can speak it, they will still be laughed at. In this case, it¡¯s better to let them think that I don¡¯t understand Cantonese. This will not only save a lot of trouble, but also allow them to see their faces better and more clearly.¡±

    Thinking of her aunt on the set and being bossed around, Yuan Qiaoqiao knew that if the people on the set knew that she could speak Cantonese, they would probably leave her to do errands and other tasks.

    As for what she said about being laughed at because her Cantonese is not authentic, although it has not happened, Yuan Qiaoqiao knows that this is absolute.

    Later, after the rise of the mainland entertainment industry and no longer supporting artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan, Wang Ou, a Guangxi native, sang a Cantonese song on a variety show on Fruit Channel. As a result, several artists in Hong Kong criticized him with a sense of superiority.  Her Cantonese is accented and not correct.  At that time, it was no longer the time for Hong Kong and Taiwan artists to be superior in the Mainland. Artists in Hong Kong all behaved like this, let alone now.

    After swallowing the conch meat in her mouth, Yuan Qiaoqiao thought of the reason why she came out of the house, "Auntie, I just heard that you seemed to be on the phone with Peter Pan, asking him about the release of the movie "The Matchmaker".  Why did you think of asking about this? Why is Xinyuan planning to get involved in the film distribution business?"

    Gu Huxin glanced at her sideways and scolded: "Didn't I show you the business license? Didn't you pay attention to the business scope written on it? You are also the boss of the company after all. Can you give me some snacks?"

    "How can I remember so much business content? And I remember that the country does not seem to have opened up the film distribution policy to private enterprises yet, right?"

    Before the policy of opening up the country, the only domestic private enterprise with the ability to distribute was Bona. Bona had this qualification not only because its head, Yu Dong, was San Ye¡¯s right-hand man, but what he did at China Film  Release, and the result of his ex-wife¡¯s family joining in the effort.

    "Xinyuan does intend to start business in this area, but due to the fact that the country has not opened up the policy in this area, it has not been involved for the time being, but Xinyu is also yours."This company is in Hong Kong and is not restricted by mainland policies. Therefore, I plan to take its path for the time being and train people. When the national policy is liberalized, I will start again and I will not suffer because I have no one.  limit.  "

    ¡°My aunt thinks long-term, plans the long-term plan, and prepares for rainy days¡­¡±

    Gu Huxin interrupted her with a smile: "Okay, don't flatter me here. It's just the integration and complementation of resources between the two companies, and there's nothing far-sighted about it.

    I just had a phone call with Mr. Pan because the movie "Matchmaker" did not do very well at the box office after it was released. Even if it was sold to a movie channel, the money was not recovered.

    When the movie "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" was released, only one copy was sold, and the income from sales to other places and movie channels was not able to recover the original cost.  Xinyu won the distribution rights for it in Japan. It is said that the Japanese film studio is very optimistic about it and even signed a guaranteed distribution agreement with Xinyu.

    Investors have been keeping the movie "The Matchmaker" in their hands, hoping to recoup their capital by selling it to other places. They just contacted the Southeast Asian market, and the feedback was not very good. Wasn't this the end of the College Student Film Festival a while ago?  , I was thinking about whether I should win an award for the movie and then sell it to see if I could use this to increase the price.  "

    Before she could finish her words, Yuan Qiaoqiao shook her head and said, "The investor's plan is good, but it's just not feasible. In our country's film awards, except for the Golden Statue and the Golden Horse, no one recognizes any other awards.

    I think that instead of using awards to increase one's worth, it is better to take advantage of Huanzhu's success in selling movies in Southeast Asia. The male protagonist of this movie is Su Youpeng, the fifth elder brother of Huanzhu. When he was originally asked to play the male lead, this aspect should have been considered.  Already?  "

    Gu Huxin sighed, "If it weren't for him, this movie would hardly be able to sell. But even so, the selling price cannot be recovered, so the investors are thinking of seeing if they can find a way from other aspects.  , so as to increase the selling price.¡±

    Seeing Yuan Qiaoqiao drinking soup from a bowl with an indifferent look, she became anxious and said: "Why aren't you anxious at all? After all, this is a movie starring you, and you don't seem to be worried about losing money at the box office.  It will affect your film resources.¡±

    Putting down the bowl in his hand, Yuan Qiaoqiao said with a smile: "Auntie, don't be influenced by what Xiangjiang does. Currently, due to the weak film market in the Mainland, making movies does not focus on box office, but only on artistry. Therefore, I  Our film resources mainly depend on personal connections. After all, even if we are famous directors and famous actors, many of their films have failed miserably. Compared with them, I, an unknown person, really don¡¯t need to care about this.¡±

    When it comes to the box office of domestic films, it started after the release of the commercial blockbuster "Hero" in 2002.  At that time, the country had almost completed its film reform, and the market was beginning to take off, so before that, she really didn't need to worry about film resources.

    As for the future, even if the box office is concerned, in the eyes of people in the industry, it is still the male stars who are responsible for the box office, and the female stars are just flower arrangements.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
