Chapter 676: In France (4)

While Honoré was watching Rokai, Baptiste was also watching Rokai.

In the past life of this French film industry bigwig, he has seen all kinds of "Sho", and some young actors deliberately ran to him to make "shocking" actions in order to attract attention, and he can think of at least a dozen similar examples.

There are those who recite scripts in front of him, those who perform dramas in front of him, and even those who untie their clothes...

It all comes down to getting his attention.

As the helm of Senna Films, Baptiste has discovered many movie stars, several of whom have gone from France to Hollywood, so he can be regarded as a Bole in the circle.

What Luo Kai is doing now is undoubtedly a sho, but Baptiste is well aware that Luo Kai is different from those newcomers who are desperate to squeeze into the circle.

Luo Kai himself is an insider, and he is very successful in his own circle, not only a very popular Chinese star, but also a billionaire.

Baptiste has to admit that Rokai is qualified to be his equal.

So what is the purpose of his Sho?

Baptiste, who claimed to be well-informed, fell into deep thought, and he found that Rokai seemed to be shrouded in a fog that made it difficult for him to see clearly.

Time passed minute by minute, and about ten minutes after Luo Kai got the pen and paper, his sketch was completed.

"My level of painting is very ordinary..."

Luo Kai smiled and handed the manuscript in his hand to Baptiste, and said, "I can only draw so far." ”

Baptiste took it with some eagerness, and he was unimpressed by Luo Kai's "Huaxia-style modesty".

In the A4 size manuscript, a sketch jumps out of the paper, and at the center of the sketch are two figures, a tall man and a petite Lori.

Dressed in simple clothes, with a full beard, luggage in his hands, and sunglasses on his face, the image outlined by simple brushstrokes is clearly a copy of Honoré, and his eyes are staring at the girl next to him, and there is a light in his eyes.

And the little girl was carrying a schoolbag and holding a pot of evergreen, her eyes were a little dazed, and she leaned closely on the man.

What kind of story is this?

Baptiste's attention was instantly focused on it, and his intuition told him that there must be a story behind this drawing, perhaps wonderful, or vulgar.

But he wanted to know.

After staring at it for a moment, he quietly handed it to Honoré.

Honoré's eyes were much more complicated.

Luo Kai smiled slightly and said: "The protagonist of the story is called Leon, a top professional killer of French descent with a calm and introverted personality, he has been living alone in Paris, and only a potted plant of evergreen is his best friend.

"Although he has a special skill, he is very insecure in his heart, and he never even dares to sleep in bed, but sits on a chair and puts a gun in his hand..."

At this point, Rokai didn't continue, though he noticed that Honoré was listening.

Then Luo Kai began to talk about the other protagonist in the sketch.

"Matilda, a 12-year-old girl, stubborn, self-willed, independent, and with a maturity that is extremely inappropriate for her age, she was rescued by Leon and has a special affection for Leon, but she needs revenge..."

The introduction to Matilda's character is shorter than Leon's in front, and Luo Kai is very skillful "out of chapter".

Honoré took the bait: "What kind of hatred is she carrying, and what kind of emotions is she with Leon?"

Since the arrival of Rokai and his party, except for the introduction at the beginning, Honoré has always been silent, and his personality is like this rather than pretending to be arrogant.

But the sketch in his hand was deeply attracted to him, if ten minutes ago he had a deep doubt about Luo Kai's words, now this doubt has completely turned into interest.

I want to be the main character's interest!

A lone killer with a stunt, a relationship that may be taboo...

Honoré felt like he was about to sit still.

And seeing the appearance of his confidant at this moment, the cunning Baptiste secretly screamed badly.

Senna Film receives a lot of film script submissions every year, and Baptiste will let Honoré select some scripts that seem to be of good quality and have the right subject matter.

He had never seen Honoré so interested in a script, no, no, no, what Luo Kai had brought out was not a script at all, just a sketch of stills and a few vague character introductions.

At this time, Baptiste already had some understanding of Rokai's intentions, and the latter clearly wanted to use this story to "hook" his interest with Honoré, and then take the initiative in the subsequent negotiations.

Baptiste didn't think this was a clever trick, but it worked!

He couldn't help coughing, and said decisively: "Mr. Luo Kai, let's talk about this cooperation first, and for your story, let's talk about it later." ”

Baptiste will not allow himself to fall into the "trap" of Rokaib.

And Luo Kai was not surprised by this, and smiled: "Okay." ”

He was only a temporary idea, not a careful plan in advance, so whether it succeeded or failed was irrelevant.

But judging by the reactions of Baptiste and Honoré, the effect is definitely there.

It's a classic from another world!

The formal negotiations between the two sides took place in a conference room at the headquarters of Senna Films.

It should be said that both Dream Media and Senna Pictures are sincere in this cooperation, and it is also beneficial to both parties, but Senna Pictures has more ideas.

In recent years, the European film industry has been hit too hard by Hollywood, the market for literary films has been declining day by day, many film companies have been unable to support the closure one after another, and Senna Film has not had a good time.

As the founder of Senna Films, Baptiste certainly does not want to see the film company that has condensed his life's work end in his own hands, and he has been actively moving closer to the commercial market and increasing the production of commercial films.

Baptiste's efforts have paid off, and the box office results have at least kept Senna Film afloat, but he hopes to get more and let his films capture a wider market.

Dream Media took the initiative to come to the door, which was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for him.

The size of China's film market currently ranks second in the world, and it is just around the corner to surpass the United States, which ranks first, and the demand for more than one billion viewers is undoubtedly huge.

However, in this huge market, there is nothing to do with French films, and Baptiste inevitably had some ideas, and asking Honoré to play a cameo role in "Across the Seas" is one of his ideas.

Of course, he has other conditions.

The second one is sent.
