Chapter 323 You are the most generous film investor in history

After seeing Qiu Qing away, Gu Ao began to make arrangements with both hands.

First, when Qiu Qing returned, he would report to the provincial leaders in charge and explain his intention to invest in the development of the cultural tourism industry. When the department officially has a trend, he would immediately take it.

At the same time, Gu Ao himself began to contact Monaco and asked Bettorucci, who was filming in Beijing, to sit down and talk about the addition of the show.

Qiu Qing was not just for the sake of repaying Gu Ao's favor. He also had great political achievements in this kind of thing, and it would benefit both sides of the relationship, so the motivation was not a problem. The subsequent mediation of officialdom may not be very harmonious. Since Gu Ao did not need to come forward, I will not repeat it again.

Let’s just talk about Gu Ao’s operations in the business world.

The next day, he first made an international long distance for Princess Caroline, which was considered as a plea and accusation.

Some people may think that he only calls if he has something to do, but he does not maintain his friendship in advance, and is suspected of being temporarily cramming.

But Gu Ao had no choice but to have just started in early August. It has only been more than two months since the Battle of the Horse Island.

The Monacos were stared at by the British and vented their anger by the French. They were nervous and angry. Gu Ao, who was well versed in diplomatic rules, knew that he could not explain too diligently at that time, so it would be better to let go completely.

Because Gu Ao knew that the British could not do anything, they were just scared. Gu Ao explained too early, and the Monacos were still in shock and did not know what the outcome would be, so he could easily react too aggressively to him.

It would be better to wait for the British paper tiger to be seen clearly by Monaco and find out that "it turns out that the British are only good at verbalizing and are unable to stand up for it." Then their dissatisfaction with Gu Ao will also be reduced by a level.

Now two months have passed, and the "slow truth" has emerged, which is a good opportunity to repair the relationship. Gu Ao's investment will give the other party some benefits, and he will get the best of bothering the rain and dew. What can't be overcome?

In addition, there are some considerations for Gu Ao to call Princess Caroline rather than Princess Kelly. Princess Kelly has a greater face, but the overall situation is wider. When doing things, you have to take care of all aspects.

Due to her age, her eldest daughter Princess Caroline doesn't care much about the losses that Giuseppe suffered. She only hopes that Monaco's film investment industry can develop well and will not be too sensitive to those things that "teammates suffer and benefit themselves."

As for the contact information between the princess and the prince, it was of course what Gu Ao had come by taking advantage of the opportunity to discuss the business of blocking ships and reclamation of land to develop real estate before retreating from Monaco.

"Sister Caroline, I've taken the liberty to bother you. I haven't contacted you for a long time, so I won't blame me." As soon as Gu Ao answered the phone, he first used his unfamiliar French to salivate his face.

This cannot be blamed on him for being shameless, because it is just tactical shameless.

"Stop making friends with me, call me princess! Who asked you to call me sister?" Caroline's voice was very cold and business-oriented.

"Yeah, I'm like Tiffany... shouldn't I call you sister?"

"Don't think I didn't see your essence clearly. You are a scumbag who plays with my sister in order to make money and climb up! She still wants to study in New York next month."

Gu Ao was indignant and pitiful tone: "Are you talking about Argentina? That was a real surprise, how could I predict history? It took so many coincidences to make it happen. You don't think about it. Actually, I was also used by the state. It should be said that the state suddenly discovered that I was valuable and temporarily decided to requisition my channels. I have lost even the official position now!

Do you know that I was the youngest deputy department cadre in China in recent years, and after studying for Kissinger's doctorate, I was only 22 years old. If I go on a career, how high can I climb to in the future? Can this be exchanged for money? Even if I want to continue doing business, I won't change to a close relative's white gloves to support me. Am I hiding behind the scenes? Do I have to give up my career?

So, I was killed by someone, just like Qin Guogang, and was used to calm the British people's unwillingness and suspicion, so that they believed that our side was indeed a temporary intention and illegal operation. I am also a victim! I am very unfair!"

A car of crying and robbing the earth and complaining about wrongedness is omitted later.

Then, relying on Gu Ao's ingenious words learned from the Diplomacy Academy, he really convinced his sister-in-law Princess Caroline.

The key is that Gu Ao's evidence is relatively solid. So promising officials suddenly decided not to become officials. Why is this for? Obviously, they were also exploited.

"It turns out that you are also a victim, so I will forgive you first and observe. Your life in the United States is not bad for Tiffany! Do you understand?" Caroline's tone was a little slow, "Tell me, what's wrong this time?"

"Good thing! Although I am also a victim, I, Gu Ao, have always been righteous to my friends, so I will never let your Monaco royal family suffer a loss. I talked to director Bettorucci about the film project "The Last Emperor" invested by Lingtang. In order to ensure that I won the award and increase the film's expression, he decided to add some dramas.

However, this scene may require at least millions of dollars in additional investment, and it will be equipped with a lot of antique building landscaping…”

When Gu Ao said this, he was immediately interrupted by Caroline: "You have to go through your mother's extra investment, I don't understand."

Gu Ao quickly explained: "Of course I didn't ask you to invest additionally. I mean, I will pay for this money. We will set up a project company. I will basically have wholly owned it. You will make a little symbolic. Then, after the landscaping is built in China, you will invest the symbolic part of the investment, and use the rent of this site when shooting this film to obtain the right to use the site for three years.

In the past three years, whether you make your own movies or sublease them, all the benefits will belong to you. After the three-year period expires, the subsequent property rights will be taken to the project company, and that is, I will be taken to me."

Caroline obviously didn't understand China's national conditions and said in surprise: "I don't understand very much. If you don't need our money, why don't you do it alone?"

Gu Ao was speechless for a while.

The other party certainly doesn't know that in this land of China, even domestic investors will go out to swim and pretend to be foreign investors in the future.

"This is the national situation. Without you, I can't call this matter myself." Gu Ao explained helplessly.

Caroline thought for a while: "If so, I can help you deal with it, but I hope to confirm the intention of director Bettorucci himself. This kind of addition is indeed necessary."

"Of course it's necessary. Besides, no matter whether "The Last Emperor" can be used or not, the income from renting it to others for filming in the next three years will belong to you, and you will definitely make it." Gu Ao quickly gave the other party a reassurance.

Caroline was very cautious: "Let's say this later. Now I don't even know what your landscaping plan is. I have no idea what it comes out. You can take out the detailed plan to evaluate it."

"That's right. Then I'll check it out and take out the detailed plan and talk to you about the implementation."

Gu Ao finally reluctantly made a fuss and said hello to Prince Albert, and finally maintained the relationship between Monaco.

...

After completing the symbolic investment intention of the Monaco royal family, Gu Ao immediately acted decisively and called director Bettorucci to Qiantang with a phone call.

Originally, when Gu Ao first returned to China, he thought about talking to Bettorucci when he was reporting work in the capital. However, after he went to the relevant cultural department to ask, he realized that with the current filming progress of "The Last Emperor", the filming of the Forbidden City had been completed, and the 20,000 extras had also been disbanded.

The subsequent dramas were not all filmed in the capital, so Bettorucci was not there.

Since this is the case, Gu Ao would rather fight at home and invite Betoruc to take good interests.

He asked Qiu Qing to borrow the best secret guesthouse in Huagang to watch fish, as a place where Betorucci came to Qiantang for two days to visit.

As the director of the Tourism Bureau, Qiu Qing could certainly take out the hospitality authority, and he even came together to listen to the talks.

The participants also included Gu Ao's girlfriend Xiao Sui.

Gu Ao asked Qiu Qing to seal a small park, which was nothing more than the place where the filming was sealed when he filmed "Shaolin Temple" two years ago. Bettorucci was invited to visit the lake.

In the evening of that day, the heat gradually faded. On the south side of Sudi, Gu Ao personally poured tea for Bettorucci, this year's Mingqian Longjing.

Gu Ao smiled and said, "Mr. Bettorucci, what is the scenery of Qiantang? Is it comfortable to come here to have fun?"

Betorucci's short hair was sweating all over his head: "It's very beautiful, it's so beautiful. Director Qiu said when introducing it, "When I was staying in a hotel that hosted President Nixon ten years ago? It's very historical."

"Well, that's a must. Let's talk about the play." Gu Ao led the topic, "I have read the script written by Suizi many times. I heard that at present, the part of the plays in the Forbidden City in my childhood have been filmed, right?"

"The filming was finished. It just ended last month. We spent a total of 5 months, and we focused on filming the scenes that needed to be used in the Forbidden City." Bettorucci answered questions and answers.

Although the direct support from the Ministry of Culture made him the first and only foreign director in history to film a commercial film in the Forbidden City, it was not easy to occupy the Forbidden City without restrictions.

Even as it is now, the Palace Museum has been closed for several months for movies, so centralized shooting is a must.

Gu Ao nodded: "In other words, the Ministry of Culture means that all plots that still exist in China are shot with real scenes in history, and there is no need for additional landscape creation?"

Betorucci was a little embarrassed: "Gu, maybe you are a nationalist, but I was only invited. The competent department is full of enthusiasm, and I can't help but feel good about it."

Gu Ao smiled and waved his hand: "No, you misunderstood me. I have no intention of being dissatisfied. I just review their decisions. In this case, if there is a scene that no longer exists in the play and the foreign party hopes to invest in the landscape, there is no problem, right?"
