Chapter 204: The more actresses, the better

The news of Li Qian's arrival in the United States has aroused a wave of concern in the United States.

Li Qian alone does not have so much influence in the United States, and his identity as the lead singer of the four major beauty bands, to be honest, is not even as powerful as Liao Liao's identity as a "lover", but he, plus Liao Liao, especially their relationship between men and women, which is somewhat "distorted" and "backward" in the eyes of the American people, is extremely interesting and concerned to the American people.

Therefore, the paparazzi secretly filmed and followed, but at the beginning, Sun Meimei began to receive invitations to some TV programs - Li Qian's number of visits to the United States is really limited, and many TV programs want to take the opportunity to invite Li Qian and Liao Liao to go on a show together to talk about their feelings and artistic creations.

Of course, Sun Meimei is more willing, after all, this is an excellent means of propaganda for Liao Liao or the four major beauty bands, but whether it is Li Qian or John Dyce, they directly denied it.

Li Qian is because he has already arranged the itinerary in advance, and he is not interested in running to the TV station at all - he doesn't want to be on it in China, let alone the United States.

As for John Days - compared to the rapid progress in recent years, but largely relying on the huge influence formed by Liao Liao's success in music, John Days has started from a small assistant step by step.

For production, publicity, and the entertainment industry, his insight and ability to control the heat are definitely not beyond Sun Meimei's ability in the short term.

In the face of these invitations, he was very happy at first, but when Sun Meimei suggested that Li Qian and Liao Liao choose the most famous and highest-rated programs to pick up two, he spoke no before Li Qian.

Moreover, in just a few words, he was speechless and could only nod in agreement-

"Now it seems to be good for Liao and Qian, both of them can increase their popularity and popularity, but this popularity cannot be converted into market consumption power, because Liao's next new album is in October, and there are still five months before now, and our "Matrix" will not be released until next year, so go to the show now and use up a good publicity point, which is a great waste!"

So, Li Qian didn't have to talk nonsense.

stayed in Los Angeles for most of the day, and that afternoon, John Days stayed in charge of continuous communication with a series of actors on the American side to deal with related matters, Sun Yuting flew back to China with people, and Li Qian himself flew directly from Los Angeles to Cannes.

The annual Cannes International Film Festival is about to begin.

And this time, Minghu Culture's "Peacock" is coming to participate in the main competition unit.

On the domestic side, Jin Han personally led the team, and Qin Nuo, Li Qian's administrative assistant, flew over with him, just like the last time he went to Berlin, and was responsible for taking care of the living and logistics of the company's group, but with the addition of them, a total of six people came over this time.

They landed just a few hours before Li Qian's flight landed, and when Li Qian's flight landed, Qin Nuo had already taken the rented car to the airport pick-up hall and waited.

In the end, everyone met in the hotel, and the crew of "Peacock" received the notice and rushed over as soon as possible to say hello to the company's big boss.

This is a small team of Kingham's own.

Well, yes, if Han Shunzhang, as the manager of the Minghu Culture Film and Television Department, has been sorting out everything and cultivating everything for the film and television department without distraction, then, in fact, in Li Qian's view, Jin Han, the film and television director, has basically not made any contribution to the construction of the film and television department in recent years.

The people brought out by Han Shunzhang's hands, after a film is finished, they will be broken up directly, this drama and that drama will be dismantled at will, and the number of people will be pulled, and two new crews can be formed casually, and they can also cooperate tacitly. But Jin Han's side has always insisted on using the group of people he carried, and the group of people under him, his friends, and his descendants, have always been mostly reluctant to integrate into the system of Minghu culture as soon as possible - only one Liu Ming is an exception, with the start of filming of "Never Look Away", from Li Qian, Qi Jie and Han Shunzhang, they have all included him in the circle of the Minghu Culture Film and Television Department.

But the few people who are now following Jin Han are not considered at present.

Or, in fact, Jin Han has always been reluctant to integrate into a company completely and unreservedly, so the small team he brings will be like this.

Anyway, he now shoots two dramas a year and one TV series to the company, he and his team shoot in accordance with Li Qian's requirements and scripts with quality and quantity, creating a lot of profits and influence for the company, and then, the company invests in his new movie, and he and his team play beautifully.

"Peacock" is played like this.

Han Meilin, before filming "Full House of Romance", she was already Jin Han's girlfriend, when choosing an actor, Li Qian turned a blind eye and defaulted to Jin Han pulling her into the crew and got the role of female number three.

This girl graduated from the Performance Department of Songjiang Drama Academy, and is Zhou Zhiyu's little sister, she is very beautiful, very thin, and she is more shrewd at first glance.

At present, she only takes on a few plays a year outside, and she is not busy, and her main energy is still on Jin Han's boyfriend, this time in Cannes, the girl came as Jin Han's personal assistant.

Yang Luan, assistant director and director of photography of "Peacock".

Zhao Yingying, the heroine of "Peacock", is currently studying in the Performance Department of Huaxia Drama Academy, a junior.

Kong Peiyan, Jin Han's best friend, the art director of "Peacock".

Li Qian shook hands one by one.

In fact, I have seen it all, before the start of "Peacock", Jin Han took his small team to the company to order it, but there was an additional assistant director Liu Ming at that time, but now, Liu Ming is filming and can't come over.

This group of people is very arrogant.

At the beginning of the Ming Lake culture, when Li Qian asked Jin Han to shoot the MV for Liao Liao and He Runqing, he already knew that Jin Han was very arrogant, and later gradually contacted the people around him and found that they were all the same arrogant - it has been much better in recent years, the key is that Li Qian has taken out a series of blockbuster achievements in TV series, especially movies, even if Jin Han has to take it, not to mention that they eat with Jin Han.

"Once Upon a Time" came out, the box office was there, and their attitude was already a big change, after all, even if you think that you are extremely awesome at playing art, for a commercial film like "Once Upon a Time" that has won such a high box office, that is, a few words of contempt in private, and openly speaking, everyone knows that it is pantothenic acid - a good, commercially popular commercial film with an excellent reputation, may not pursue the ultimate artistic achievement and artistry, but his film art will definitely not be too bad!

This is like a literary film that can really make art out of the public's aesthetic style, and the box office has always been not too bad, which is a truth.

Business and art are not an either/or contradiction in film, but few people can control the balance between the two smoothly and freely.

In fact, the story of "Once Upon a Time" is very strong, the drama is exquisite, original and groundbreaking, and its cinematography, sets, and performances are also quite commendable.

A group of people who have never proven themselves to be outstanding in art are not qualified and qualified to criticize how "Once Upon a Time" is not artistic - it is not convincing to criticize it.

As soon as "Red Sorghum" comes out, no matter how big you are, you have to stop cooking!

The domestic art film circle has always admired Europe and belittled the United States, believing that European films are extremely artistic, and American films, especially Hollywood films, have the smell of money flowing in every shot.

Therefore, the three major European film festivals have great influence and prestige in this niche literary film circle in China. Because of this, Qin Wei was able to win the award in Venice, so he was praised by everyone overnight to such a high position - the forced qualification of the Berlin Film Festival is the same level as Venice.

And "Red Sorghum" directly swept the Berlin Film Festival!

Therefore, this time when they met in Cannes, Jin Han's small team, the attitude towards Li Qian was obviously much more polite and restrained than every previous meeting.

In the past, even if Li Qian was here, people should smoke and smoke, brag and brag, and even deliberately show themselves in front of the "powerful".

But this time, it's all honest.

Especially Zhao Yingying.

This girl is not particularly beautiful, but she has an indescribable clear temperament, in Jin Han's original words, "I think she has a clean smell like mountain spring water, so my sister must be her!"

For Zhao Yingying, Li Qian is the boss, but also an idol, and a master.

Li Qian's songs, Li Qian's TV series, Li Qian's movies, and later Li Qian's poetry collection, all of which she particularly likes. When we met before the filming of "Peacock" started, she was so excited that she was almost speechless, but now she is much better, but her hands are shaking with excitement.

She is not known yet, just an ordinary student in the acting department, when she signed the contract, Minghu Culture also asked her what she meant, she was a little hesitant, so the company did not force her to sign under the company's banner - to be honest, Minghu Culture is really not short of Xiaohuadan now, so a newcomer, it is best if you are willing to sign, and if you don't want to sign, it doesn't affect anything.

But this time she had obviously thought about it, or rather saw it clearly.

After Jin Han and Yang Luan chatted for a while, they said goodbye and left together, and after a while, Qin Nuo knocked on the door again and came back, telling Li Qian that after getting off the plane and staying in the hotel, Zhao Yingying took the initiative to find her, saying that she hoped to sign the brokerage contract to Minghu Culture.

Li Qian certainly welcomes this.

So she arranged for her to tell Zhao Yingying that when she returned to China, she could go to the brokerage department to negotiate a specific contract - and even, if "Peacock" and her personally could win something at the Cannes Film Festival, Li Qian didn't mind giving her a higher contract level.

Although there are already quite a few actresses, the more the merrier.

…………

Because it was late at night when he came to Cannes, Li Qian casually took a few bites of food, took a shower and went to sleep, and woke up the next morning before going to the hotel's restaurant for breakfast with Qin Nuo and Zhao Yingying, who was in a daze.

As for Kim Han's gang - they're still asleep!

This trip to Cannes, for Li Qian, is purely to help his company's new works stand on the platform - a few months ago the Berlin actor, after "Red Sorghum" was released in Europe, the word-of-mouth box office was also quite good, whether he is a director or an actor, he has a certain influence in the European film circle, at least he can come over to help "Peacock" attract some attention.

But that's about it.

At the beginning of the film festival, how to do publicity at the film festival, how to spend money to do a few interviews to increase popularity, by the way, use newspapers to brag about it, and how to arrange the screening hall to complete the screening specified by the film festival, etc., this is all planned by the company in advance, and it was John Days who was responsible for directing it, Qin Nuo came over, and he was also responsible for running this, and Jin Han and they were busy with it.

After breakfast, I rested in the hotel for a while, drank a cup of coffee, and then Li Qian got up, no matter how busy their crew was with work and preparation, he went out for a spin by himself, and met a few reporters halfway, and he also smiled and gave people a pose for them to take pictures. Then he came back at noon and invited the crew of "Peacock" to have a meal, for him, the trip to Cannes was waiting for the opening of the film festival.

As a result, just after lunch, he returned to the hotel, and Li Qian received a call from Ming Xiaojing.

Huafei Film and Television also organized a group to brush up on the Cannes Film Festival, and a vice president personally led the team to participate in the film festival, which was Ming Xiaojing's first directorial work, "Unfinished Love".

On the phone, Ming Xiaojing said that he knew that Li Qian was also coming to Cannes and wanted to ask him to meet, even if it was to have a cup of coffee together - Li Qian had the heart to refuse, but after hesitating, he still agreed.

Yes, everyone's previous friendship, because last year she stupidly ran out to stand in line, can basically be regarded as ruined - no matter how generous Li Qian is, it is impossible to tolerate this kind of thing.

You're all in line!

However, seeing that Ming Xiaojing and the two of them are quite open-minded in doing things, from the refund of the crew of "Unfinished Love" at the beginning, to the fact that after Zhu Qiang withdrew, they still insisted on giving all the remuneration according to the contract, etc., he can feel that Ming Xiaojing has a sense of guilt for himself and Minghu culture.

Therefore, just meet and have a cup of coffee, but you don't really have to give this little face.

How to say that everyone is mixed in the film industry, and you can't see you when you look up.

You can't have any friendships, but you can't be enemies.

So, the two made an appointment to meet at the café inside the hotel where Li Qian lived.

And when Li Qian passed according to the agreed time, as soon as they met, he noticed for the first time that the eyes of Ming Xiaojing looking at him and the expression on her face were really a little complicated and inexplicable.
