Chapter 787 Some people say he's henpecked.
"Raise the Red Lantern has already grossed over seven million dollars in the US, making it the highest-grossing film among the Best Foreign Language Film nominees so far," said Darren Wilson. "This means that the film has likely been seen by the most Academy members, and it has a very good chance of winning Best Foreign Language Film this year. Yan He, are you really not coming to participate in the later stages of the awards season? Many people have been asking me about your whereabouts?"
Lu Yanhe: "Darren, my schedule has been nonstop for the past year. In the last few months, I've not only filmed two movies, but also attended so many events. Next, I'll be attending the Oscars, right? Before that, I need to take a break."
Darren Wilson: "Okay."
His tone was full of regret.
Lu Yanhe ignored his regrets.
He didn't want this to become a regret for him.
After returning to his home country, many people asked to meet with him, mainly about the Jose Film Festival.
Lu Yanhe politely declined all offers of service. However, at the same time, he also instructed Chen Yin to tell those in the industry who inquired that if a piece was of good quality, they could send over a copy, and he would try his best to take a look.
If there are truly good films, his responsibility as chairman of the selection committee is to select them and present them on the stage of the Jose Film Festival so that everyone can see them.
After returning, Lu Yanhe essentially shut himself away at Ziyuan Bridge. He didn't even go to the headquarters of "Jump Up" in Lingyang District.
Yan Liang and Li Zhibai returned two days after Lu Yanhe returned to China.
Chen Siqi left an hour before they entered.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Zhibai was startled as soon as he entered the door.
Upon hearing the noise, Yan Liang quickly entered the room. "What's wrong?"
They went into the living room.
Lu Yanhe lay on the sofa, curled up, eyes closed, brows slightly furrowed, looking somewhat uncomfortable.
Li Zhibai immediately touched Lu Yanhe's forehead.
"It seems like he has a fever," Li Zhibai said to Yan Liang. "Feel it, does he have a fever?"
Yan Liang touched it. "It's a little hot. We have a thermometer. Let's take your temperature."
“Okay, take the measurements. I’ll call my doctor and have him come over,” Li Zhibai said.
An hour later, Chen Siqi returned after hearing the news and saw Lu Yanhe lying on the bed with an IV drip next to him.
Chen Siqi looked surprised.
Yan Liang explained to her, "He has a slight fever, 39 degrees Celsius, and we are currently working to bring it down."
Chen Siqi said, "What happened? He was fine when I left an hour ago."
“I guess he hadn’t had a seizure yet at that time,” Yan Liang said. “The doctor said his blood sugar level was also a bit low. I guess he was too tired recently and hadn’t been eating properly. When he came back and relaxed, he collapsed.”
Chen Siqi looked worried.
"Don't worry too much, it's not a big problem." Li Zhibai came over too. "He's too fragile."
Chen Siqi came to the bedside.
The doctor is still performing some tests on him.
She could only stand on the other side, watching Lu Yanhe lying on the bed. She had seen Lu Yanhe asleep many times, but he rarely seemed weak in this state. Lu Yanhe was almost never one to show weakness, even in front of her.
An hour ago, when she left, he was smiling warmly, saying that he would be fully recovered after a few days of rest. Right, since he said that, he must have realized that something was wrong with his health. But what was she thinking then? She thought Lu Yanhe meant that he was too tired from work recently and needed some peace and quiet.
At that moment, Chen Siqi felt very guilty and annoyed.
Why didn't she notice Lu Yanhe's fever in time?
If Li Zhibai and Yan Liang hadn't happened to come back today, would Lu Yanhe have been alone at home with a fever until it subsided?
Chen Siqi felt tears welling up in her eyes and immediately turned away.
She didn't want anyone to see it.
-
"Lu Yanhe is really arrogant now; he won't come out no matter who asks him to." Wu Meng, vice president of the China Film Association, said with a hint of dissatisfaction.
"How did he get out of there now?" Wen Shengming glanced at Wu Meng and said, "Everyone is trying to get his hands on him, wanting to get their films into the Jose Film Festival. He meets with whoever he wants to meet, and if the film isn't good, it's still a bad result. As the chairman of the selection committee, he's offended the entire Chinese film industry. It's a thankless task."
Wu Meng: "That's not quite right. This is the first time the Jose Film Festival has appointed a Chinese filmmaker as the chairman of its selection committee, and it's being held in China, so of course we have to say what needs to be said, just in case—"
"President Wu, what should be said?" Wen Shengming interrupted Wu Meng calmly. "And what shouldn't be said? Do you know?"
Wu Meng was taken aback.
"As one of the four major international film festivals, the Jose Film Festival is coming to China for the first time, being held in Yuming. According to statistics from various hotels in Yuming, the number of overseas bookings for this year's Jose Film Festival has already exceeded 10,000. Before this, had any film festival in China achieved such global influence?"
"This is also the influence of the Jose Film Festival."
"You're right, this is the influence of the José International Film Festival, but the fact that the José International Film Festival was able to be brought to China in the first place was precisely because of Lu Yanhe's connections," Wen Shengming said bluntly. "Without him, there would be no José International Film Festival held in China this year, nor would there be this opportunity to showcase the Chinese film industry to the world. Under these circumstances, are you allowing Lu Yanhe to openly engage in favoritism and cheating, showing some low-quality Chinese films and making a fool of himself in front of the world?"
Wen Shengming's voice was authoritative without being angry. He didn't get angry or raise his voice, but every word he spoke struck the hearts of everyone present.
After a while, another person spoke up, saying, "The Jose Film Festival is only held once in China, so this is truly a rare opportunity—"
"Shortsighted!" Wen Shengming suddenly raised his voice, his eyes flashing with a menacing light. "How did someone as short-sighted as you get into the association's board of directors?!"
The person who had just spoken turned pale instantly.
Wu Meng was also furious.
"Wen Shengming, don't start blurring the lines between inside and outside just because you collaborated on a movie with Lu Yanhe!"
"What is internal, and what is external?" Wen Shengming finally spoke to Wu Meng with a hint of reproach in his tone. "Is the Film Association internal, and the face of Chinese cinema external?"
Wu Meng's face turned pale and then flushed.
“Teacher Wen, please don’t be angry,” Chen Pinhe said. “Actually, everyone hopes to seize this opportunity.”
Wen Shengming's temper then subsided.
He said earnestly, "Everyone, the more you try to hold onto what you have, the less you can hold onto other things. Look further ahead and show more care for young people. This world is vast, and the Chinese film industry is vast too. Don't let the dozen or so people sitting here ruin it."
Wu Meng was so angry that his face turned green, but he couldn't say anything.
“Actually, Yan He didn’t intentionally avoid meeting with others.” At this moment, a young man sitting in the corner suddenly spoke up. “I know Yan He’s executive agent. Yan He had a high fever of nearly 40 degrees yesterday and has been unconscious ever since.”
The speaker's name is Li Qingbing.
If Lu Yanhe were here, he would recognize him as the young director from the Spring Festival Gala production team who was in charge of his segment when he appeared on the Gala before.
Lu Yanhe would probably ask, "How did you end up here?"
Of course, that's a long story.
A collective gasp of surprise rippled through the room.
Wen Shengming asked anxiously, "Fever? Unconscious? What's wrong?"
Li Qingbing immediately said, "Teacher Wen, don't worry, his fever has gone down. He must have been too busy with work recently, so he collapsed as soon as he got back."
Wen Shengming: "I told this kid a long time ago not to push himself so hard; his health is his own responsibility!"
After that, no one said anything more.
-
When Luo Yuzhong and Chen Lingling came to Ziyuan Bridge to visit Lu Yanhe, Lu Yanhe had already woken up and was sitting on the bed. He looked quite healthy, but Chen Siqi still ordered him to act like a "patient" and obediently stay on the bed to recuperate.
In front of Lu Yanhe, Chen Siqi instructed Wang Biao: "From now on, unless he is particularly busy with work, he must work out and exercise. Wang Biao, you take pictures of me, or even videos. You need to keep a record and send them to me every day. You are not allowed to lie or make excuses for him!"
Wang Biao's eyes darted around, trying to look at Lu Yanhe.
"Don't go see him, it won't do you any good!" Chen Siqi threatened. "If you don't listen to me, I'll have Lu Yanhe send you here to be my assistant, and I'll have my assistant supervise him."
Lu Yanhe: "..."
Wang Biao, looking embarrassed, said, "Brother Lu, I have no choice now. Sister Siqi has spoken, and I have to listen to her."
"Also, I'll find you a nutritionist!" Chen Siqi added. "Three meals a day, not a single one can be missed!"
Lu Yanhe: "...I can find it myself."
"Stop talking nonsense." Chen Siqi directly gestured for Lu Yanhe to mute.
Li Zhibai heard Chen Siqi's voice in the living room and complained to Yan Liang, "So Chen Siqi is this assertive."
"Old Lu falls for that," Yan Liang said.
"Wow, he's henpecked!" Li Zhibai exclaimed in amazement.
Yan Liang: "Haven't you noticed? Lao Lu likes people who care about him in a clear and unequivocal way. If you're too subtle, he won't listen. He only responds to forceful concern."
Li Zhibai: "Heh."
Yan Liang: "Just like how you fall for your sister's tricks."
Li Zhibai glanced at him sideways, "So which one do you like? The demure, submissive type?"
"Get out of here," Yan Liang cursed.
The doorbell rang at that moment.
Luo Yuzhong and Chen Lingling came together.
Carrying some health supplements in their hands, and without any assistants or drivers behind them, they looked like two elders visiting, their demeanor relaxed and leisurely.
Lu Yanhe was taken aback and hurriedly tried to get up.
Luo Yuzhong glared at him, "glaring" him back onto the bed.
"You take advantage of your young age and don't take care of your health," Luo Yuzhong scolded as soon as he opened his mouth.
Chen Lingling: "You really worried your teacher this time. When she heard that you had fainted, she was so anxious that she even canceled the meeting."
Lu Yanhe: "...In a coma? How did this get reported?"
“You were just unconscious, weren’t you?” Chen Siqi said. “If Li Zhibai and Yan Liang hadn’t come back, you don’t know how long you would have been burning up, and you wouldn’t have said anything when you were feeling unwell.”
"I don't feel unwell. I just feel a little tired, and I don't think I have a fever," Lu Yanhe defended himself.
"Do you think... do you think you're a doctor or a nurse? Do you think this will work?" Luo Yuzhong scolded again.
Lu Yanhe: "..."
Luo Yuzhong wanted to continue.
Lu Yanhe spoke up: "Teacher, I am a patient now. Your voice is as loud as a bell, it's giving me a headache."
Luo Yuzhong: "..."
Chen Lingling burst out laughing.
Chen Siqi rolled her eyes at Lu Yanhe, "You don't know what's good for you."
Lu Yanhe made a face.
Chen Siqi said with a smile, "Director Luo, Director Chen, he's lost his mind from the fever, don't argue with an idiot."
Luo Yuzhong shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, I'm the one who took in these students, I have to bear with it. What else can I do?"
Chen Lingling rolled her eyes at him. "Heh, keep pretending. You're always casually mentioning your students, as if you're afraid people won't know you're this kid's teacher. You're getting the benefits and then acting innocent."
Luo Yuzhong said with a smile, "Don't be jealous."
Chen Lingling really wasn't jealous.
Of course, Luo Yuzhong only joked like that because Chen Lingling wasn't jealous at all.
-
Chen Siqi led Wang Biao out of the room and poured them tea.
Luo Yuzhong and Chen Lingling sat down in the room.
After the joke, Luo Yuzhong said, "You have to take care of your own health. You're always traveling to different places, experiencing hot and cold weather all the time. If you don't take care of yourself, the health problems will come out when you get older."
Chen Lingling added, "These are all the hard-earned lessons from your teacher's years of experience."
Lu Yanhe was too embarrassed to make another foolish move.
He said, "I understand, teacher, I will be careful."
Upon hearing this, Luo Yuzhong nodded in satisfaction.
-
Lu Yanhe was deeply moved by Luo Yuzhong and Chen Lingling's visit.
After everyone left, Lu Yanhe realized how the two of them had found out.
When asked, Li Zhibai replied, "It's not just those two who know; the whole country knows."
The news leaked from somewhere, and Lu Yanhe's high fever and coma even became a trending topic.
Lu Yanhe was dumbfounded.
Such a small thing, and it even made it to the trending topics? That's just too much.
Most importantly, it alarmed so many people.
Lu Yanhe felt inexplicably ashamed.
This sense of shame also made him inexplicably embarrassed.
However, Chen Ziyan said that the sudden high fever actually saved him a lot of trouble.
Lu Yanhe then realized what had happened outside while he was sick with a fever.
The story of Wen Shengming's "verbal battle with Wu Meng" at a meeting of the China Film Association has been leaked by someone and has become known to some people in the industry.
Fortunately, this embarrassing incident did not spread online.
Otherwise, given the current speed of news dissemination, it would truly be a disgrace to the nation.
Chen Ziyan asked, "The Lunar New Year is just around the corner. What are your plans for this year's celebration?"
“Me?” Lu Yanhe said, “I’m going to Siqi’s grandparents’ house for the New Year, and then… and then I don’t have any plans.”
Chen Ziyan said, "Okay, take a good rest. That's good. Although you had a fever this time, I want to praise you for knowing you weren't feeling well and saying you needed to rest. But I also want to criticize you. If you're not feeling well, you should just say so. You earn so much money and hire so many assistants, not so you can be self-reliant at times like this. If you're going to be self-reliant when you're sick, you might as well go live on a desert island."
Lu Yanhe: "...Sister Ziyan, I told you, I really didn't feel unwell. I just felt that I was too busy recently, so I said I needed to take a break. You see, I was with Siqi before I got a fever, and I didn't feel unwell at the time."
"You still have the nerve to say that? Chen Siqi is blaming herself to death because of this. Let me tell you, when you get sick, everyone around you blames themselves. Your illness isn't just your problem, and your discomfort isn't just your problem. Don't always find it troublesome and keep quiet about everything," Chen Ziyan admonished.
Lu Yanhe was completely numb.
Why doesn't Chen Ziyan believe anything he says?
Big head.
Lu Yanhe sighed.
"I know, I know, I'll definitely be more careful in the future." He honestly admitted his mistake and that was that.
This is the answer Chen Ziyan wanted to hear.
She nodded in satisfaction.
Lu Yanhe asked, "Has anything happened lately?"
“Recently? No, nothing much has happened.” Chen Ziyan shook her head. “Who would be so tactless as to cause you trouble at this time? After all, the whole country knows you have a fever, are unconscious, and are extremely fragile.”
"..." Lu Yanhe.
"Is this what it feels like to be humiliated in front of the whole country?" Lu Yanhe said helplessly.
After a while, Lu Yanhe suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, Sister Ziyan, I actually have another idea these past few days."
"Hmm?" Chen Ziyan asked, "What are you thinking? You're sick, how can you still have thoughts?"
“I’m just sick, not mentally impaired. I’ve been thinking about how to make this year’s José International Film Festival a success, since it’s a rare opportunity for the festival to be held in China. I want to make sure the festival wants to stay in China, or even if it doesn’t, I want to make sure it’s held in a Chinese city in the future,” Lu Yanhe said enthusiastically. “I thought that since the José International Film Festival is an audience award, and especially in terms of film trading, it has always been among the top of the four major international film festivals, I wanted to discuss with Wu Yang some improvements to the José International Film Festival’s trading market.”
"What improvements?"
“We will add a section for TV series trading at the Jose Film Festival,” said Lu Yanhe. “Both remake rights and TV series broadcasting rights can be included. The festival is already inviting TV series starring famous directors or big-name actors to be screened. Adding a section for TV series trading would be a new growth point.”
Chen Ziyan: "Isn't this... a bit difficult to handle?"
“I think it would be very difficult to do it from scratch. But I was thinking, what if we created a themed trading market based on actors, directors, or screenwriters?” Lu Yanhe said. “For example, I could open a trading market called the Lu Yanhe Screening Unit, which would not only feature my TV series but also my movies. As long as there are still films available for sale, they would be placed in this unit and screened for both audiences and distributors. We could use media and audience ratings and viewing reactions to promote the trading of old and new films. This kind of packaged screening and trading unit can integrate different copyright holders, allowing buyers to choose at the same time. In short, it is to maximize the star effect and use hit films to promote less popular films and facilitate transactions.”
Chen Ziyan understood Lu Yanhe's thoughts.
She considered it carefully.
"Although it sounds like there are still some operational issues, it seems like a good idea, provided that we can invite the stars of this theme," Chen Ziyan said. "Whether it's the director or the actors, we need stars who have appeal to film companies and are willing to come and support us in order for this segment to go on."
Lu Yanhe nodded.
“Yes, that’s precisely why this part is so difficult to do, and that’s what makes it our secret weapon for keeping the Jose Film Festival going,” Lu Yanhe said. “If we can make this trading section very successful, so that film distributors from all over the world are willing to pay for it, after one successful edition, both film companies and distributors will be willing to come back to this section, and they will actively want to come back. For the Jose Film Festival, if they want to keep this trading section going, then they need to find someone who can afford to run this trading section.”
Chen Ziyan understood.
"The Western film industry is not lacking in people like this."
"Who would be willing to do something so thankless and exhausting? Except for me, who hopes to keep the Jose Film Festival in China as much as possible through this method," said Lu Yanhe.
Chen Ziyan: "Free is the most priceless thing."
"It's not that free things are the most priceless, but rather that free things that everyone wants are the most priceless," Lu Yanhe said.
Chen Ziyan: "I think your idea is feasible. Do you need me to communicate with Wu Yang in advance?"
“Hmm.” Lu Yanhe nodded. “It’s not convenient for me to bring this up directly. You can go and discuss it with Chen Yin. In particular, isn’t Soren also interested in developing a strategic partnership with me? At least I can open the trading market for the [Lu Yanhe Screening Unit]. I can’t think of any reason why he would be unwilling.”
Chen Ziyan: "Yes, for Wu Yang, this is also the first time that the Jose Film Festival has been held in another place. How well it is held will affect the status of the Jose Film Festival among film festivals and its future influence. It is of great importance. If film companies and distributors no longer regard the Jose Film Festival as one of the best choices, the film festival will inevitably decline."
"Mm." Lu Yanhe nodded.
-
Just as they thought, Wu Yang had no reason to refuse Lu Yanhe's offer to create such a trading unit.
Even when Chen Ziyan suggested that Lu Yanhe could invite a few of his friends to contact various copyright holders to work together on this transaction, Wu Yang was shocked. Why would Lu Yanhe take the initiative to do this?
Chen Ziyan said, "Because this year's Jose Film Festival is being held in Yuming, he, like you, hopes that this year's Jose Film Festival will be a great success, no worse than any previous one."
Wu Yang did not doubt Chen Ziyan's statement.
Lu Yanhe certainly doesn't want to see this year's Jose Film Festival fail.
With Wu Yang's consent, the Jose Film Festival announced the news before the Chinese New Year.
This year’s Jose Film Festival will add a “Screening and Trading Market” and has officially announced the first screening and trading unit – the “Lu Yanhe Screening and Trading Unit”.
Lu Yanhe's films *The Squid Game*, *Raise the Red Lantern*, *Lost in Thailand*, *Love Letter*, *Dragon Inn*, and *2 Broke Girls* will be screened in this section. Meanwhile, Lu Yanhe's new film *Flypaper*, written by Lu Yanhe and produced by Linghe Films, will also have its world premiere in this section and will be traded at the Jose Film Festival's film market. At the same time, two of Lu Yanhe's newly written English screenplays, *The Notebook* and *The Fault in Our Stars*, will also be seeking buyers in this section.
This was nothing short of a bombshell.
The dramas that have already been broadcast or released are one thing, but "Flypaper" is a highly anticipated project. Lu Yanhe even got it to premiere at the Jose Film Festival.
But if you examine these projects closely, you'll find that Lu Yanhe himself holds the copyright to all of them.
Shows like Friends can't be included here.
However, even so, it is already a great many.
This is because there wasn't much time to coordinate with other copyright holders this time. The newly added screening and trading market, José Cinema River, needs to come up with a mature and publicly available plan immediately to let everyone know what it is, so as to invite major film companies and distributors to pay attention to this section.
With the emergence of the "Flypaper" project, there's no shortage of attention from film studios.
Wu Yang and his group of executive committee members of the Jose Film Festival were overjoyed.
"Flypaper" was not selected for any official competition section, but was directly placed in an additional non-competitive section and premiered at the Jose Film Festival. Lu Yanhe's sincerity left no room for doubt.
Shortly after, on the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, the Jose Film Festival officially announced the second section of its screening and trading market: Jiang Yuqian.
Among them are "The Golden Era" and "Telephone," both collaborations she made with Lu Yanhe. In addition to these two films, there are also two TV series she previously starred in, as well as the Hollywood film "Red Eye," which she starred in and Lu Yanhe wrote, making a total of five films. "Red Eye" will also have its world premiere in this section.
In such a short time, Jiang Yuqian, Lu Yanhe, Luo Yuzhong, and others worked hard behind the scenes to get the copyright holders of those dramas to complete the process so quickly and agree to be included in this trading unit. Of course, in fact, this is a good thing in itself, as it's clear that several older dramas can sell some overseas distribution rights in this unit, generating revenue for them again.
The problem isn't their attitude, but their speed—we need to keep up with the pace.
There needs to be a steady pace of official announcements to ensure that this newly established screening and trading unit can capture attention and get off to a great start.
To be honest, if it can't be done on a large scale, then all the work Lu Yanhe has done is of little significance.
It has to be a big deal, and it can't just be a random bunch of people; they have to be celebrities who are famous all over the world.
In fact, since the announcement, several film and television companies have been willing to join the event. However, their participation is not very meaningful for this section because overseas film distributors do not know them.
At that moment, Lu Yanhe suddenly felt that it was fortunate to have Jiang Yuqian—
Many people say that she has been struggling overseas for so long, but in reality, she still has to rely on Lu Yanhe to get good roles and projects.
Now, when Lu Yanhe needs globally renowned stars for this segment, looking across the entire Chinese-language entertainment industry, apart from Jiang Yuqian, there is no one who can compete in terms of fame. Even Shang Yongzhou is not good enough; his overseas fame is entirely in the field of art films.
When "The Squid Game" first aired, Jiang Jun might have been able to do it, or perhaps he could have done it after "Doomsday" was released, but now, Jiang Jun has been "disappeared" for a long time.
Oh, of course, Huang Feng could too, however, Huang Feng doesn't have any "stock" right now.
It's obviously not enough to only invite two Chinese actors, Lu Yanhe and Jiang Yuqian, to this segment. If an added segment can't be internationalized, then it becomes a "China-exclusive" segment.
Lu Yanhe approached Darren Wilson to see if he had any clients or suitable friends who could join the film screening market.
The difficulty of this task lies in communicating with the individual characters involved to ensure their willingness to act as a "spokesperson," and also communicating with the copyright holders of each of their film and television works to secure competitive film and television projects that are willing to participate.
Therefore, this requires someone who can truly get things done.
Lu Yanhe couldn't possibly place all his hopes on Darren Wilson.
Fortunately, he had also made connections with some people in Hollywood and built up some personal networks.
The first person he contacted was Muken Sorge.
This horror film director had directed other films before "The Mist".
If he were to join this screening and trading section, his influence in media coverage might not be significant, but his appeal to film distributors would be immense.
When Murken Sorge received the call, his first reaction was, "But my film's distribution rights have basically all been sold, and there's still a lot of time left before they expire."
Lu Yanhe said, "This market is not just about the trading of distribution rights, but also includes remakes and other derivative copyrights. The simplest examples are books, comics, games, etc., while more complex examples include offline themed games such as escape rooms, and so on."
Upon hearing this, Murken Sorge immediately understood the value behind this trading market, but he still had concerns: "Are there any relevant production companies involved?"
“Yes, I can’t speak for other things, but at least in China, we will invite representatives from various companies.” Lu Yanhe said, “Your film cannot be released in mainland China because of some horror and ghost elements, but after some adaptation and processing, it can meet Chinese fans in another form.”
Muken Sorge understood.
He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, if you can get D19 on board—the copyrights to all my films are with them—I'll come over and be your mascot."
“Heh, you actually know how to use the word ‘mascot’ now. Marrying a Chinese wife really makes a difference.” Lu Yanhe laughed. “But, Muken, I need you to help me deal with D19. Your attitude is very important to D19. And you know, you actually benefit from every transaction. You’re not here to be a mascot; you’re here to genuinely increase your profits.”
Muken Sorge sighed.
"Okay, what do you need me to do? Tell me."
-
Lu Yanhe's second target was not an old acquaintance, but rather someone he had just met.
—He spoke with Sandra Weevil, the legendary American actress, at the BiCarlo Film Festival.
This actress has starred in more than fifty films since her debut and enjoys immense fame worldwide.
If we could invite her, commercially, her work might not be as appealing to buyers as Muken Sorge's, but she represents "classic," "legendary," and "quality" in the film industry, which is another kind of significance.
However, he wasn't sure if Sandra Vickers would agree.
