How come it was my turn to speak?
You have to kill someone and destroy their heart, right?
He was just an investor, not even a member of the crew, and he was just a bystander on stage. How come he spoke directly after just a few words?
Not to mention that he didn't prepare a speech, he didn't even prepare his speech.
But the microphone had already been handed to him, and Yan Jinyu had walked over to him, ready to translate at any time. Yang Ruoqian was a respectable man after all, so it was impossible for him to remain silent.
Yang Ruoqian coughed lightly and cleared his throat: "First of all, I would like to thank the crew and the jury..."
"Everyone seems to be very curious about my mentality when I invested in this movie. In fact, there is a huge misunderstanding here, which is also a misunderstanding of me by many people now."
"Many people think that I am very confident in myself and have a very accurate grasp of the market, but that is not the case."
Yang Ruoqian took a deep breath and decided to take this opportunity to stand on the international award stage to explain his true situation.
Once a misunderstanding begins, it will only get worse if it is not resolved.
It just so happens that the three major international film festivals have a strong influence, and my words can reach more people's ears.
“It’s not that I don’t believe in market feedback. On the contrary, I believe in it very much. As a creator, I should avoid arrogant thoughts like ‘this audience’ is not good enough.”
“But sometimes, there is a certain conflict between catering to the market and creating the works you want.”
"At that time, I just wanted to make a movie according to my own ideas and in line with my personal values. As for its commercial potential, I didn't actually consider it."
"Employees who are familiar with me in the company actually know that when making decisions, I prefer those that are more adventurous, more novel, and rarely appear in the current market."
"For example, if there are two projects in front of me, one can ensure that I can make 10 million, and the other is completely shrouded in fog. I may make 10 million, or I may only make 100,000, or even lose 10 million... Then my choice must be the latter."
"In fact, I have rejected many projects, many companies, and many invitations from celebrities to cooperate... I want to say here that I rejected them not because they were too bad, but because I personally prefer to put limited resources into areas that have not been explored by predecessors."
"To be honest, I didn't expect that The Boys would have such a good box office performance and such a good reputation..."
"'The Black Robe Inspection Team' is an experimental product of this kind of thinking. Please don't over-mythologize the impact I brought to this film. The crew and actors deserve the greatest credit."
"At the same time, I also welcome anyone with creative ideas to contact Kuiguang Group. I promise that I will never miss any interesting ideas!"
After saying all the words that were in his heart out in front of so many people at once, Yang Ruoqian immediately felt relieved.
The group is now so big that it can easily launch a hit product, which scares away many inferior products and makes them take a detour.
Under normal circumstances, even if Yang Ruoqian took the initiative to post a message or update to clarify, most people would probably regard these words as the group boss's modesty and Versailles, and no one would take them seriously.
But now, since these remarks can be made on the international stage, they will surely be seen by many people!
Not only can it dissuade the powerful, but it can also bring back the evildoers who have already become disloyal.
While others were giving acceptance speeches, Yang Ruoqian gave his bold acceptance speech!
Just as Yang Ruoqian expected, after hearing his shocking speech, the audience and the host fell silent.
Just when Yang Ruoqian was about to smile, thunderous applause suddenly broke out from the audience. Even several judges on the podium behind him stood up and applauded.
Some of them even had their faces flushed with excitement.
Yang Ruoqian was confused again.
What's wrong with these people? Why are they suddenly so excited?
"Mr. Yang Ruoqian, our entire jury is very grateful for your speech. Thank you very much." The chairman of the jury stood up from his chair. "You are a truly pure creator. Your spirit will be remembered forever by everyone present!"
Seeing Yang Ruoqian's bewildered look, translator Yan Jinyu also put down the microphone and smiled softly, "Mr. Yang, film festivals are non-profit activities, and film selection and awards are not entirely based on box office. Your words are a great recognition and encouragement to them."
"Especially, the box office of "The Black Robe Inspection Team" was obviously very high, but you didn't mention it once..."
“That’s why they’re so excited.”
Yang Ruoqian: “…”
Is it possible that he didn't mention the box office reasons just because he didn't want to expose his own scars? The other things are just too much of the judges' own imagination.
“…”
After the prolonged applause, the acceptance speeches came to an end. As the producer and core figure of the film, after Cheng Fei finished his finale speech, the Water City Film Festival finally came to a successful conclusion.
Everyone returned to the hotel excitedly, booked an entire room, and celebrated until midnight.
When the photo was taken, except for Yang Ruoqian who was sitting in the middle with lifeless eyes, everyone else, even older people like An Zhou, showed ecstasy.
Even in the next few days, Cheng Fei forcibly took over the heavy responsibility from Yang Ruoqian and paid for the entire crew to go on a luxury cruise ship for two days.
This is what it means to lose both fame and fortune.
…
After two days of crazy fun, it’s finally the last day and I will be returning home tomorrow.
Mr. Yang sat alone on a chair on the spacious balcony and sighed, "Ah, it's finally over...home is still the best."
"It just so happens that tomorrow is the last day of this quarter. Let's see how much money we can collect."
After being depressed for so long, I always need some good news to numb my heart.
Thinking about this, Yang Ruoqian opened the system panel and scrolled down directly to the company's quarterly profit and loss statistics table.
[Company profit and loss this quarter: -120935410.51]
Yang Ruoqian was not surprised to see that the number was negative. He nodded with satisfaction and prepared to go back to his room to sleep.
"Hmm? Wait a minute." Just as he was about to close the system panel, "Why did the number become so small?"
How come in just a few days, the loss dropped from 600-700 million to just over 100 million? !
What the hell?
More than 500 million evaporated out of thin air?! The company made an extra 500 million out of thin air in the past few days? Yang Ruoqian immediately began to sweat.
What went wrong? How could General He be so brave that he could earn back the investment of a high-priced movie and the cost of a private jet in just a few days? He could earn 500 million out of thin air in the past few days, and it would definitely not be a problem to earn more than 100 million tomorrow. Now this deficit reserve seems a bit unstable.
Yang Ruoqian clicked on the details, trying to find the culprit.
"The box office revenue of "The Wandering Blue Planet"?! What the hell?"
"The first day's box office exceeded 100 million, and within a week the box office will undoubtedly exceed 1 billion?!"
"Ah? My movie, which is a challenge to "The Fortress of Devil City", has surpassed the entire box office of "The Boys" in just one week? Ah, is this true?"
By this calculation, there is a high possibility that the money earned tomorrow will exceed 120 million.
no!
We must not let this happen! At this moment, Chang Zhiqing came over barefoot in loose pajamas: "Why are you still outside? Go to bed. You have a flight to catch tomorrow afternoon."
As she spoke, she rubbed her heavy eyelids, obviously feeling sleepy as well.
"You go to sleep first. I'll take care of some work. It'll be quick." Yang Ruoqian was in no mood to sleep at this moment. He took out his laptop and quickly supplemented tomorrow's arrangements on it.
Make sure to lose money this quarter!
This is the most promising and most expensive quarter, and Yang Ruoqian even resorted to the unique killer move of purchasing a private jet.
You must not miss this opportunity.
We must find a way to fix it! The next morning.
Yang Ruoqian, who was busy until the early morning before going to bed, did not feel sleepy at all. He got up on time at 7:30 and brushed his teeth and washed his face in one go.
"Why are you so excited all of a sudden?" Chang Zhiqing was woken up by such a big movement and yawned. "I have a flight in the afternoon, so I can still sleep a little longer."
"It's the last day. How can I not take this opportunity to have more fun and do more shopping?" Yang Ruoqian changed into casual clothes and said generously, "If I don't buy some local specialties and souvenirs, how can I say that I have been to Italy?"
Chang Zhiqing yawned as she changed her clothes: "You should save some money..."
Yang Ruoqian immediately found an excuse: "It's very difficult for a person to win an international film award like this again in his lifetime. How can we not celebrate it properly?"
"Were you the least enthusiastic during the celebrations these past two days? Why are you suddenly celebrating again today?" Chang Zhiqing looked over suspiciously, "You're not going to have your period, are you?"
You can tell from this? Women are very observant...
Yang Ruoqian chose to ignore this soul-searching question: "You'd better not wear high heels when going out today. You have to run a lot today."
"Don't raise your heels to me." Chang Zhiqing changed into sneakers obediently, but she couldn't help complaining, "When you say that, I think of the incident with my hand that night."
"……Ha ha."
Yang Ruoqian laughed awkwardly. When he saw that his affairs were almost dealt with, he picked up the phone and called Qi Mu.
After a few busy tones, Qi Mu answered the call.
"Good morning, Mr. Yang. What can I do for you?"
Yang Ruoqian looked at the memo that was rushed out overnight and instructed, "This month's salary will be paid one day in advance, that is, today. And all employees will be given a bonus of 10% on top of their respective salaries to celebrate our film winning an international award."
"Okay, Mr. Yang, I'll notify the finance department later."
Yang Ruoqian continued, "Also, give each person accompanying you a personal quota of 50,000 euros so that they can buy souvenirs or luxury goods at will. Add a few shopping spots to today's itinerary."
As someone who would also receive 50,000 euros, Qi Mu was stunned for a moment: "Ah, OK... Mr. Yang, please send me the arrangements, and I will contact the driver and others."
If Qi Mu was not a secretary, but treated Yang Ruoqian as a normal friend or colleague, she would definitely refuse the money firmly and urge him to remain calm.
This is really too much, and I feel guilty about it.
Qi Mu had just been working for less than three months and had only received salary for two months when he went on a business trip with his boss and enjoyed the most luxurious trip.
After the trip, she was still able to get a 50,000 yuan spending limit? She had only been working for a short time, but she had already felt a sense of belonging to Kuiguang Group. Qi Mu felt bad that her boss wasted the company's money like this.
But now, as a secretary, she could only endure the pain, pretend that she didn't care, and firmly carry out Yang Ruoqian's orders.
Yang Ruoqian nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, you should also get ready, we will set off on time at nine o'clock!"
…
At the same time, the news of "The Black Robe Inspection Team" winning the award quickly spread online, sparking a lot of discussion.
Even in the rating section of the Leopard platform, "Water City Film Festival" appeared directly, and almost everyone gave it a full score of 10 points.
Many netizens are also discussing related issues in other forums.
"A domestic film won a big award again after 9 years!"
#The biggest winner is Shang Qianyu# #The boss and his wife of Kuiguang Group have amazing looks# #Yang Ruoqian gives his acceptance speech# “…”
"I told you this movie could win an award! Check it out."
“It’s really beautiful and has depth.”
"I think your focus is not right. This award is just an honor. It doesn't have much impact on a company, but it has a huge impact on the leading actor! Especially since this leading actor is the leading actor of "Wandering Blue Star"!"
"Sister Shang is really an expert at winning without doing anything."
"The acting is excellent. How can you say you won without doing anything? Don't play the role of a villain here."
"Let me make a statement first. I am a long-time fan of Shang Qianyu, but I think everyone should look at this matter rationally. This is only her second movie, and it is hard to say what the future holds. Please don't flatter her and let her develop well."
"Yeah, I don't want to see her peak right after her debut."
"Don't you think the couple from Kuiguang Group are also very good-looking? They're no worse than celebrities."
"For a moment I didn't know whether I should envy the boss or the boss's wife..."
"Tsk tsk, this crew is full of good-looking people at a glance. Anyone who is not good-looking will be embarrassed."
"Why don't you just report Director An Zhou's ID card to the person upstairs?"
"Can you guys stop being so vulgar? Listen carefully to what Boss Yang is saying. Did you hear what he said? As long as you are creative and imaginative enough, the group is willing to give you a chance!"
"I just had an idea in my mind. I will sort it out and submit it to Kuiguang Group today. Everyone wait for my good news."
"That's enough... He was just being polite to you during his speech, did you take it seriously? Don't other people's companies need to make money or eat?"
“…”
