(Chapter 8)

On May 14th, Israel's National Day...

Don't ask me how I know, Baidu, you'll know...

Zhang Junsheng arrives in Cannes.

It was the first time he had seen the Temple of Cannes Cinema...

In my impression, the most famous thing in Cannes is, of course, the blue sky, white clouds, sandy beaches, tall palm trees, warm sea breezes, groups of bikini beauties, and rows of yachts in the marina...

There is also the black-and-white beach photo of the goddess Gongli.

V-neck white shirt with tight black mermaid skirt.

Soaring, light, graceful, graceful, graceful, graceful...

It's a pity, I didn't give birth to you, I was old, I hated not to be born at the same time, and I was good with you every day...

Later, I took a few similar photos, and then I was scolded for being Xiaofeng...

……

Coincidentally, when I got off the plane, I caught up with the French workers' march.

What started as a handful of people handing out leaflets eventually converged into demonstrations and demonstrations of several hundred people.

They held large black, white and colored flags with words of protest written on them in colored paints, and then beat drums, beat basins, played wind instruments similar to suona, and sang in unison to the effect that the palm trees have fallen asleep, and the opening ceremony has no meaning... After singing songs and shouting slogans, the protesters began to play all kinds of tricks: one man lay on the ground with a wooden sign covering his body, presumably meaning that there was no welfare for starving to death, and another man knelt beside the "dead man" and played a sad instrument, and after half an hour of tossing and turning, the demonstrators found that there was no way to get any closer to the studio palace and began to march north.

However, the whole process of the march was very peaceful, and no strong clashes broke out between the two sides.

It just attracted hundreds of police officers with helmets and riot shields - a very "dramatic" scene indeed.

It is said that the average working day of French workers is 7 hours, and they cannot work overtime!

The President of France, believing that the efficiency of work in France is too low, passed the Labor Code, demanding an extension of working hours!

The workers quit and went on strike in protest, demanding a five-hour workday, no more than 30 hours a week...

Alas, the French really have time, and it takes two hours for people to have lunch, and there are small pockets sewn into their socks, which can be stuffed with two sleeves...

"If the government has the money to run the film festival, they should consider the interests of more people, think about unemployment benefits, think about our welfare, think about social security and health care!"

Tang Ningyu was dumbfounded, Zhang Junsheng and Wang Bo also felt ridiculous, and there was a TV reporter next to him who said in French: "This time you finally met the French!"

Wang Bo couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: ", seven hours is too much?"

"In my country, I usually work eight hours... Five hours of overtime. ”

"This is one of the evils of democracy, which makes the people lazy!"

"Why don't you say it's because we have too many people?"

Zhang Junsheng took the initiative to stop: "Don't say it, let's go back to the hotel first, Lao Tang, Lao Li, let's go to the studio?"

Li Yang shook his head: "Don't go yet, I'll find someone to inquire about this year's situation!"

"Okay, touch the market first!"

……

The reason why Cannes ranks first among the three major film festivals in Europe is not only the art of cinema, but also its trading market!

According to public data, last year, in 2007, a total of 11,900 people from 118 countries participated in the Cannes Film Market, and 985 films were screened for a total of 1,426 screenings.

As a result, the Festival de Cannes can generate between 2.8 million and 4 million euros in revenue from the registration fee alone.

At the same time, more than 3,600 films were traded on the Marché du Film with sales of up to $800 million!

Cannes is already the world's largest film trading market in the first half of the year!

Participating in the film festival, in addition to directors and stars, all kinds of bigwigs in the circle who hold capital are also a beautiful landscape active in Cannes. Among them, some bought film copyrights, some cooperated to set up film funds, and some participated in screenings and sold films, and the liveliness of the transaction was not inferior to that of Cannes films.

Tang Ningyu has done international copyright marketing before, participated in Cannes films, and knows many people, on the contrary, Zhang Junsheng is a bit like Grandma Liu's Grand View Garden, and he feels novel...

After a while, Lao Tang and Li Yang came over, and Lao Tang explained: "This year, the prices of accommodation, transportation, food, tips, and booths in Cannes are all rising, and a team of more than five people will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for the whole journey. What do they say, the economic situation is very bad, there are fewer and fewer people willing to spend time in luxury hotels, and the overseas market is declining year by year, DVD sales in Russia, Spain and Brazil are almost stagnant, and even the auxiliary market for the TV industry is disappearing, so no one dares to take risks..."

"Are you sure the economic situation is not good?"

Zhang Junsheng was a little surprised.

are talking about the financial crisis, to be honest, Zhang Junsheng, including Yuehua's employees, don't feel it at all, but feel that the domestic situation is very good, especially in the film field...

Old Don spread his hands: "That's what Mike said anyway!"

“… Then let's buy a few more batches of films, and it will be regarded as international aid!"

"Well, it's better to pick a film that is not weaker than "The Queen Wears Plata"!"

Tang Ningyu whispered: "... I have a few goals, "When Happiness Knocks", "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "Changing Doubts" and "Bucket List"... By the way, and Marley and I!"

"No... It's not cheap, let's fight for five, and if there are too many bids, forget it!"

was chatting warmly, and met Li Mingze and Junqi Zhao...

Hehe, the road is narrow!

However, no matter how you say it, it can be regarded as a foreign acquaintance!

Junqi Zhao glanced at Li Yang, Tang Ningyu and Zhang Junsheng, and paused before saying, "Director Li, Mr. Tang, Director Zhang!"

"Yo, what a coincidence!"

Zhang Junsheng smiled all over his face, greeted him, and hugged him warmly.

Well, the boobs are ok...

Zhao Buffett Wei, life is not lost to others!

Really, even the most YY can't write about the ups and downs of Mr. Zhao's life!

It's so awesome, Little Swallow and Four Little Famous Dan are popular all over China, and of course they have also caused big controversy due to events such as the Japanese military flag uniform...

This is nothing, and then stepped into the capital market, and after getting close to Ma Yun and other bigwigs, he was like a fish in water, using his influence and capital to wash the money of leeks...

It's clear that you've done something wrong, but you have to think that if you have money, you haven't done anything wrong.

Even the most authoritative and true propaganda articles dare to wash, all kinds of use of network media...

Well, this is all a matter of the original time and space, the military flag at this time does not have the reputation of Buffett, but the actress who wants to prove that she has box office appeal is very simple.

Tang Ningyu also walked over: "How is "Red Cliff" selling?"

Li Mingze smiled: "At present, there are more than 30 film companies that have the intention of cooperating, including Miramax... In the evening, we will hold a viewing party, welcome Mr. Tang and Mr. Zhang to come when the time comes!"

"It must be, $120 million, the war scene must be grand!"

Zhang Junsheng smiled very sincerely...

Miramax, Harvey Weinstein?
