The Gambino family's reaction was much faster than Wu Jianye imagined, and when Wu Jianye was about to leave for France the next day, Esther found Wu Jianye again.

"Wu, my father has agreed to your request and made it clear that you will always be the best friend of the Gambino family!" said Este Gambino excitedly.

Wu Jianye looked at Aster's expression and said with a smile: "It seems that I should also congratulate you!"

"Thank you!" said Esther with a smile.

She naturally has reason to be happy, the old Gambino agreed to cooperate with Wu Jianye, which means that her status in the family will completely change dramatically, and from now on, Esther Gambino will no longer be just a princess within the Gambino family, simply loved by everyone, but will be one of the most important people in power in the Gambino family!

Thinking back to the rich expressions on her brothers' faces yesterday after hearing about their father's decision, she was very satisfied.

"But my dad has some ideas on equity and would like to have a good chat with you!" Esther said.

Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm going to France soon, and the Standard Chartered Bank will come over to negotiate with you at that time!"

Wu Jianye will naturally not participate in the specific negotiations, since the Gambino family has agreed to the cooperation between them, the rest can be handed over to the professional negotiation team of Standard Chartered Bank!

Now Yaoguang, Yiwang, Fengge Media, Phantom Media, and Far Eastern Group all have their own professional negotiation teams, and the people in them are also all-inclusive, lawyers, psychological experts, negotiation experts, etc., all kinds of people, etc., are making contributions to their negotiation teams.

After rejecting Esther's invitation, Wu Jianye directly took his own publicity team to France to promote "The World of Chu Xing".

France is now a very obsessed country, shouting every day that commercial films have ruined the art of cinema, and they want to see more pure art films, not boring popcorn movies.

But "Jurassic Park", a purely commercial film, was the best box office in France during its European release.......

The body of the French is still very honest.

But no matter what, the name Wu Jianye now has a very high influence in France, thanks to the fact that every movie of Wu Jianye can poke the G-spot of French audiences!

The French who like romance see the love they yearn for in "The Love of People and Ghosts".

Like independent movies, "The Red Lantern Hangs High", "The Last Emperor", "New Dragon Gate Inn" are their favorites, especially "The Last Emperor" makes the French audience seem to have opened a new world, and until now the French audience still thinks that "The Last Emperor" is a great personal biographical film!

And "Jurassic Park", which made them say they didn't like it, but their bodies were extremely honest, were even more fans of Wu Jianye's circle.

So when Wu Jianye came to Paris, it immediately caused quite a stir.

The box office of the movie "The World of Chu Xing" in France still exceeds that of other countries in Europe, which shows that here, Wu Jianye has formed his own box office appeal.

That night, Wu Jianye led a team to participate in an exclusive interview with a French TV station and talked about his experience in the creative process.

After recording the show, Wu Jianye looked at He Qing, Chen Hong and others, who were a little tired, and said with a smile: "I'll give you a day off tomorrow, take a good rest, Paris is the fashion capital, you can take a good look here!"

Women are very strange animals, if you say let them continue to work tomorrow, maybe they will show some reluctance because of physical exhaustion, but if you say let them go shopping tomorrow, then for them, it is equivalent to a Red Bull, instantly full of blood!

"Really?"

Even He Qing was a little excited, now Paris can indeed be called the international fashion capital, which obviously has a great attraction to He Qing and others.

Chen Hong on the side also looked at Wu Jianye with excitement on her face, now if you want to talk about pure financial strength, Chen Hong is definitely the first female movie star in China, after all, she once had a period of ups and downs with Wu Jianye.

I also got the fruits of my own efforts.

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Yes, tomorrow is a holiday for you, there will be a professional tour guide to come to you, or that sentence, if you encounter any trouble, remember to call!"

"Okay!"

Both of them said excitedly.

"Wu!" At this time, a powerful voice came from Wu Jianye's side.

Wu Jianye turned around and saw that it was the old man Jacob of the Cannes Film Festival.

Jacob, who is in his sixties, is very strong and does not show a trace of old age.

"Mr. Jacob!" Wu Jianye also smiled and shook hands with Jacob.

For Jacob's arrival, Wu Jianye is not much apart, the Berlin Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival, have already found themselves, how can the Cannes Film Festival let it go.

When He Qing and the others saw that someone was coming to Wu Jianye, they didn't say anything, they directly talked to Wu Jianye, and they went back to the room first.

This kind of thing, in this trip to Europe, I have seen countless times, and now in the eyes of He Qing and others, Wu Jianye's friends seem to be all over the world, no matter where they go, they can see Wu Jianye's friends.

However, after all, He Qing had participated in the Berlin Film Festival with Wu Jianye, and she knew more about several major European film festivals than Chen Hong, so when she saw Jacob, she couldn't help but be surprised, and at the same time a little proud.

"Who is this?" asked Chen Hong curiously.

At this time, He Qing was already Wu Jianye's sister, and she actually had no competitiveness for Chen Hong, so Chen Hong was no longer hostile to He Qing, what really made Chen Hong dissatisfied was Zhou Huimin, who had been following Wu Jianye during this time.

He Qing said with a smile: "This is Mr. Jacob, the director of the Cannes Film Festival, who has a pivotal position at the Cannes Film Festival, and this time I came to Angkor, and I must have invited "The World of Chu Xing" to participate in the Cannes Film Festival!"

Chen Hong said with some envy: "Director Wu is really amazing, the Berlin Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival have come to invite Director Wu before, and now even the director of the Cannes Film Festival has come over." ”

He Qing said: "Actually, I can understand that Angkor is so influential now, and the film festival invited Angkor, which will definitely improve their influence, I heard that even if it is the three major film festivals, there is competition between them, and they all want to make their influence the highest!"

The two chatted as they returned to their room.

At this time, Wu Jianye and Jacob came to the hotel's café.

Zhou Huimin has also returned to his room.

"Wu, I'm sure you must have guessed what I was trying to do!" said Jacob.

Wu Jianye nodded and said with a smile: "It should be, but Mr. Jacob, I'm sorry, it's not for me to let the movie "Chu Xing's World" participate in that film festival, and I can't give you an accurate answer to this matter now!"

It's still the official answer.

Jacob didn't show a disappointed expression because of Wu Jianye's refusal, and said with a smile: "Wu, in fact, I came here this time, there is another matter!"

Wu Jianye looked at Jacob in some surprise and asked, "What else is going on?"

Jacob said with a smile: "Actually, this is the case, I know that Wu, after finishing the publicity in Europe, will return to China, I believe that when the time comes, I will be able to participate in that film festival, it should be certain, if, I mean, if your country decides to send the film "The World of Chu Xing" to other film festivals to participate in the war, on behalf of the Cannes Film Festival, I invite Wu you to participate in the grand film event of the Cannes Film Festival as a judge of the Cannes Film Festival next year!"

For Jacob's invitation, Wu Jianye really didn't expect it, but he didn't expect the other party to invite him to become a judge of the Cannes Film Festival!

If Wu Jianye is not mistaken, if he agrees to Jacob's invitation, then he will become the first Chinese judge of the Cannes Film Festival!

In fact, later, many Chinese directors or actors became judges of the Cannes Film Festival, and Wang Sunglasses once served as the chairman of the jury, but that Wang Sunglasses made the Cannes Film Festival miserable.......

As for the domestic directors and actors, there are also many who have served as judges of the Cannes Film Festival, such as Chen Kaige, Gong Li, International Zhang, Jiang Qian, etc., who have served as judges of the Cannes Film Festival.

"Wu, our Cannes Film Festival is very sincere, I hope you can seriously consider our suggestion!" Jacob saw that Wu Jianye did not speak, and continued to persuade.

In fact, Jacob has no choice, and now the three major European film festivals are staring at Wu Jianye's "The World of Chu Xing", hoping to bring this film to their own film festivals.

Wu Jianye won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival and the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, but he was absent from the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

Jacob, who is familiar with Chinese culture, also has some understanding of such things as friendship.

So in the competition for Wu Jianye's films, the Cannes Film Festival did not have any advantages, so it had to find another way.

And Wu Jianye has won countless honors, not to mention letting Wu Jianye serve as a judge, even if he is the chairman of the jury, it is more than enough, but unfortunately the Cannes Film Festival has decided on the chairman of the jury next year, and at the same time, because it is necessary to determine whether Wu Jianye will bring "The World of Chu Xing" to the Cannes Film Festival, so he can only be a judge!

Wu Jianye thought for a moment and said: "If I can become a judge of the Cannes Film Festival, I think it will be a very good experience, and if I can, I think no one will refuse!"

Jacob smiled and said, "Then let's decide, Wu, if your country doesn't send the movie "The World of Chu Xing" to the Cannes Film Festival, then you will be the judge of our Cannes Film Festival!"

Wu Jianye smiled: "It's an honor!"

It has been twelve years since he was reborn, and Wu Jianye has participated in almost any work in the film, but he has never been a judge of a film festival, and it seems that it is also a good experience to be able to become a judge of the Cannes Film Festival this time.

As for letting the movie "The World of Chu Xing" participate in that film festival, it is not important to Wu Jianye, for him, the European film festival has lost a great advantage for him.

That's the sale of overseas copyrights!

The three major European film festivals are not only a film awards ceremony, but also a huge film market, where film companies from all over the world come to find suitable films and buy and sell.

If other films want to go out of their home countries, the festival is a great way to make it visible to studios around the world.

But now that the theaters of Fengge Cinema and Phantom Pictures have spread all over the world, Wu Jianye's movies no longer need these studios!

At this time, Wu Jianye has completed his own closed-loop ecological chain of the film industry.

No matter which link it is, it has its own company involved, so the three major film festivals in Europe have lost their biggest attraction to Wu Jianye.

However, it cannot be said that the three major film festivals have no use for them, first of all, there must be a sense of honor, and if "The World of Chu Xing" can win awards at a certain film festival, there will still be some impetus for their sales in the video tape market!

After chatting with Jacob for more than an hour, he smiled and said, "I heard that Chen's movie has also been filmed and is ready to be released in the near future, is that so?"

Wu Jianye knew that Jacob was asking about Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine", and said with a smile: "Yes, this movie is scheduled to be released in Xiangjiang on January 1 next year!"

Jacob was slightly stunned, "Why Xiangjiang?"

Wu Jianye smiled, what can he say, do you want to tell Jacob, because the movie "Farewell My Concubine" does not meet the requirements for release and has not been reviewed!

The fate of the movie "Farewell My Concubine" is no different from another time and space, after the filming, Chen Kaige sent the movie for review, and the result was not passed.

However, this movie is different from the movie in Grange, and there is still a glimmer of life, that is, this movie is invested by Xiangjiang Fengge Pictures, so as long as this film can participate in the European Film Festival and win the award, it can use such influence to increase capital for domestic release!

Jacob admired Chen Kaige very much, "Wu, you and Chen are good friends, can I ask you do you know how Chen planned to handle his film?"

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Chen Kaige's new film is participating in the Cannes Film Festival, and the film will be sent to you when the time comes!"

Although it is not possible to determine that "The World of Chu Xing" will participate in that film festival, Wu Jianye can be sure that "Farewell My Concubine" will participate in that film festival!

As a film invested by Fengge Pictures, "Farewell My Concubine" does not need to pass China Film to participate in overseas film festivals.

In fact, Wu Jianye in "The World of Chu Xing" can also be determined, but sometimes the benefits are to be touched by everyone, so that the benefits can be maximized!

And "The World of Chu Xing" is a big gift from Tangting Culture to China Film!
