Wu Jianye was naturally in no mood to care about the glass hearts of those French men, and even he didn't know that Isabel Adjani was coming to attend the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival.

With the end of the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival, Wu Jianye, Louis Mahler and others began to select each film!

In fact, being a judge of a film festival is a very boring thing, and it is a very exhausting thing to watch more than 20 films and dozens of short films at the same time in just two weeks.

In addition to the films in the main competition unit, the Cannes Film Festival also has other films, as well as the selection of short films, which is a very large system.

It's just that only the movies in the main competition unit are more attractive!

As for the relationship between Wu Jianye and Sophie Marceau, it is also very different from what those reporters described, and the relationship between the two is actually no different from the relationship between Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani.

It's nothing more than playing on the spot and finding yourself a temporary partner here!

A few days after the opening ceremony, Wu Jianye was almost a two-o'clock one-line job, watching the film, and going back to the hotel!

Even Judy Davis and Emir Tus Kulika didn't go out to sing again during this time, everyone was watching every movie dutifully, and everyone even took notes for each movie.

This is also to make it easier to vote after watching all the films!

In fact, the judges only watch two movies a day, but the rest of the time is for everyone to discuss with each other.

Louis Maller is also telling the judges that as a jury member of the Cannes Film Festival, when selecting a film, it should not be considered whether it is political or commercial, but the most important thing is the quality of the film itself, to see whether he communicates with the audience through the "language of cinema", and whether he interprets it with heart and passion.

It should be pointed out that film is an art with personality, and each film should show its characteristics, and each judge will also score according to the characteristics of the film itself.

As for the selection method, it will not be told until the last day whether the award will be judged by majority voting or other means.

In fact, as a judge, Wu Jianye also learned a lot of experience in the process of this time, and the nine judges present are all the most well-known directors or actors in the world, and everyone has their own understanding of the movie.

The communication between everyone also made Wu Jianye's understanding of movies have a deeper change!

At this time, Wu Jianye was extremely glad that he came to Cannes as a judge of the film festival this time!

Just when Wu Jianye watched the film, the Cannes Film Festival was also very lively.

With the release of each film, the audience who came to the Cannes Film Festival also saw their favorite films.

During this time, if there is anyone who is the most beautiful at the Cannes Film Festival, it is not those Hollywood or European actors, but Zhang Guoqi from Xiangjiang.

"Farewell My Concubine" was screened at the Cannes Film Festival the next day, and Louis Mahler, as the chairman of the jury, attended the premiere in person.

When Wu Jianye was chatting with the major judges, Gary Oldman also said to Wu Jianye: "Wu, Leslie's performance is so exciting!"

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Leslie has always been a very good actor in Xiangjiang, for this movie, Leslie arrived in Yanjing a few months in advance, in order to be able to better understand Chinese drama!"

Gary Oldman smiled: "When the conference is over, you must have a good chat with Leslie, Wu, you must help introduce it when the time comes!"

Wu Jianye smiled: "No problem!"

At the same time, the Cannes Film Festival has also come out, and the highest-rated ones so far are Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" and Jane Campion's "The Piano Lesson"!

By the way, among the actors of the movie "Piano Lessons" is Wu Jianye's old friend, who starred in Sam Neil in "Jurassic Park"!

The two exchanged a few words at the opening ceremony and then separated.

Chen Kaige is also in high spirits now, looking very proud, and after the score of the house book came out, the smile on Chen Kaige's face has not disappeared.

Wu Jianye won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film with "The World of Chu Xing", which put Chen Kaige under pressure, and now the movie "Farewell My Concubine" got the highest score in the Cannes Film Festival, which finally made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the score of the house magazine does not represent the final award-winning selection, it at least gives Chen Kaige greater hope.

Jiang Zhiqiang came to France, because there is no airport in Cannes, Jiang Zhiqiang first arrived in Nice by plane, and then took a car from Nice to Cannes!

However, after Jiang Zhiqiang came to Cannes, he did not go directly to see Chen Kaige and others, nor did he go to see Wu Jianye, but made an appointment with a sturdy Frenchman in a café.

Jivin Harris, the president of Lingzhi Global, has been anxious for a period of time, because his Lingzhi Global has been targeted by Fengge Media in Xiangjiang!

Now you can actually take a good look at the business map of Fengge Media and Phantom Media in Europe!

When the two media groups were just starting to expand their business in Europe, they actually came from different entry points.

Phantom Media first adopted the way of cooperation, cooperating with European cinema companies, relying on the excellent films of Phantom Pictures in the early stage, and then grasping a certain initiative, so as to achieve the effect of entering the European film market, and later Phantom Media became, acquiring ABC TV Network, HBO, ESPN and other TV stations, and then officially entered the European TV industry through these TV stations.

Fengge Media is different, because the European film market is not so receptive to the Xiangjiang Film Market, and it is impossible to get the treatment of Phantom Pictures.

In addition, Wu Jianye wants to set up his own cinema company in Europe, and then balance Phantom Media.

Therefore, Fengge Cinema Line chose the rough way of setting up its own cinema company in Europe.

To put it bluntly, now for Phantom Media, their focus of development has changed from the film industry to the TV industry, while Fengge Media has taken a fancy to the European film market.

Prior to this, Wu Jianye took a tough management stance and classified the distribution rights of Phantom Pictures' films in Europe under the banner of Fengge Cinemas.

Similarly, all the films of Fengge Pictures have also been handed over to Oceanwide Cinemas in North America, and the two sides check and balance each other and contain each other, which is the safest management method for Wu Jianye.

Although it seems that Fengge Pictures has obtained the film distribution rights of Phantom Pictures in Europe and has made a big bargain, because of Fengge Media's cinema layout in Asia, Phantom Pictures' films can have unimpeded release channels in Asia, and at the same time, Phantom Pictures has also contracted the business that North American film companies want to distribute in Asia by virtue of its cooperation with Fengge Media.

It has invisibly improved the voice of Phantom Pictures in Hollywood!

This is a series of developments after the two sides reached a strategic partnership.......

After completing the layout of the cinema chain in Asia, Fengge Cinema Line has set its sights on the European market, after two years of development, the total number of theaters in Europe is already the largest, but the average to each country, it is not the case!

This time, Jiang Zhiqiang came to France, one is to participate in this year's Cannes Film Festival, and the other purpose is to acquire an influential local film company in the center of the European film market, and then use his influence to become the leading big brand in Europe!

Lingzhi Global is actually an advertising agency, and in the process of its subsequent development, it will even become one of the six major advertising companies in the world.

Of course, there are other factors in this, such as if there is no Wu Jianye, in a few years, Lingzhi Global will be renamed Havas Advertising Company, and then they will be acquired by the French water company CGE 30% of the shares, as for CGE, you may not be familiar with it, but I believe that everyone should be clear when it comes to Vivendi, that is, Vivendi took over the big burden of Universal Pictures in the hands of RB Panasonic!

Although Lingzhi Global is not as powerful as later generations, it is also a large consortium with a market value of more than $2 billion!

As for why Jiang Zhiqiang is eyeing Lingzhi Global, it is because Lingzhi Global has a Gaumont Film Company, one of the three major French film companies!

Gaumont Film Company and Baidai Film Company, Lightning Film Company are the three major film companies in France at this time!

The acquisition of Lingzhi Global is also the acquisition of Gaumont Film Company in disguise!

Gaumont Film Company is not only one of the largest film companies in France, but also controls a part of the cinema chain in France, in the current development route of Fengge Media, it is no longer simply on the cinema line, they hope to be able to fully enter the European film market, and Gaumont Film Company is their best springboard!

"Mr. Harris, as we said before, $1 billion is a very good offer, and I don't think any company can afford this price except for us at Phantom Media!"

Jiang Zhiqiang said calmly in the face of Govin Harris.

Prior to this, Phantom Media had contacted Lingzhi Global several times and made a request to acquire Harris and the shares in the hands of the management!

Given-Harris shook his head and said, "Mr. Jiang, I think you have also received our reply, Lingzhi Global was created by me, and I don't want this company to be sold in my hands!"

Lingzhi Global is not a company fully controlled by Given-Harris, at the beginning it was held by the French government part-of-the shares, at that time they were not called Lingzhi Global, but called Hawass Company, after a series of mergers and reorganizations became the current Lingzhi Global, but later renamed Havas Advertising Company!

Govin Harris is nothing more than the largest shareholder and CEO of this company!

Jiang Zhiqiang smiled and said, " Mr. Harris, I have always believed that there is no business that cannot be done in this world, even Lingzhi Global is no exception, this time I came with sincerity, to put it bluntly, you should also know that our acquisition of Lingzhi Global this time is nothing more than for the Gaomeng Film Company in your hands, and now Fengge Media's strength in Europe, I think you also know, according to our investigation, now one of the three largest film companies in France, Lightning Pictures is facing its own financial crisis, if we can't acquire your company this time, we will target Lightning Films, I think they will be very happyAnd I'm not afraid to tell you, we have already contacted Director Wu Jianye, and the other party is willing to provide three film scripts for our company, in order to seize the French film market, I wonder if your company can bear such consequences?"

"By the way, if we can't acquire your company, all the theaters of our Fengge Cinema Line in Europe will ban all the films of Gaomeng Film Company, and at the same time, we will join forces with Oceanwide Cinema in North America and the Asian Department of Fengge Cinema Line to jointly ban the films of Gaomeng Film Company!"

Jiang Zhiqiang, this is completely oppressive with power!

After listening to this, Jivin Harris showed an angry expression on his face, and he was very dissatisfied with Jiang Zhiqiang's condescending attitude.

Now Gaumont Film Company is the fist company of Lingzhi Global, providing the highest profits, and now if it faces the suppression of the other party, it will definitely face huge losses!

"Mr. Jiang, in the global film market, your company can't cover the sky with one hand, and Wu Jianye's movie script is not a global catch, the European market has the laws of the European market!" At this time, Gilvin Harris's anger was a little uncontrollable!

Jiang Zhiqiang smiled and said: "Of course, even if we Fengge Media and Phantom Media combined, it is impossible to truly control the global film market, but I think it is enough to deal with Gaomeng Film Company!"

"By the way, I remember if your company is cooperating with director Luc Besson recently, preparing to shoot a movie, I don't know if director Luc Besson has informed you that he has signed a contract with Hera Agent of Phantom Media and has become a contracted director of Hera's agent, that is to say, whether Director Luc Besson can shoot movies for your company anymore is up to Hera's agent!"

"I think the allure of French cinema is completely different from that of Hollywood!"

Luc Besson debuted in 83, after all these years of hard work, he has already become one of the most well-known directors in France, and he is the chief co-director of Gaumont Film Company.

Under such successive blows, Gilvin Harris's confidence is no longer so sufficient, and the anger still exists, but it is useless!

This is the consequence of the strong pressure of capital, and it will not change in any way because of a person's attitude.

Just as Jiang Zhiqiang is facing Gilvin Harris now, I am more powerful than you, and at the same time, part of your economic lifeline is in my hands, and now you just don't want to sell it!
