The red carpet in Cannes was not watched by the entire crew.

But when you come to someone else's territory, it's not good to not give face at all. In the end, producer Alan Ball, director Sam Mendes and actress Nicole Kidman barely walked the red carpet.

Without a doubt, Nicole Kidman became the biggest highlight of the entire red carpet show. Oh yes, and big star George Clooney.

George Clooney starred in Disney's films, a comedy revue.

I really don't know what kind of wind is pumping in the brains of Disney's production department, it's just a song and dance film, or a comedy, come to the Cannes Film Festival, are you here to make a joke?

Even if it's a black-box operation, it has to be basically in line with the theme of the Cannes Film Festival, just like that.

Such a jumpy song and dance comedy, coming to the Cannes Film Festival, Disney wants to win an award and is crazy, right?

Don took Natalie, who was unwell, directly into the main venue.

According to the prompts of the staff and posters, you can choose to go to different theaters to watch the exhibited films.

Don has no interest in these foreign films, his mind is full of question marks, where is Jonathan Demmy?

After looking around, Don saw British actor Kristen Thomas first.

"Director Walker, what a coincidence, I met you here. Hello, Miss Portman. Kristen Thomas's eyes lit up when he saw Donn, apologized to his friend, and took the initiative to come over.

Natalie was not feeling well, she was in a bad mood, and she muffled back "hello" and didn't want to speak.

Facing an actress, Don doesn't need to be as complicated as dealing with Luc Besson, and gets straight to the point, "Christine, I think you should go and see it." Oh, it's going to premiere in the afternoon, the movie is great, and Nat's performance is amazing, I think it's going to win the award!"

Kristen Thomas was slightly stunned, then returned to her senses and said with a smile: "Okay, when it premieres, I will definitely go to see it." ”

Don wasn't quite satisfied with her subtlety, staring into her eyes, "Do you think the film will win an award?"

"Huh?"

Kristen Thomas was stunned for a moment, she really didn't expect the famous Donn Walker to be so domineering! Fortunately, she dealt with the more domineering, outrageous, and excessive Harvey Weinstein during filming, otherwise it would be really easy to lose her temper.

At the time of filming, producer Harvey Weinstein had asked her to come to a hotel and asked her to have sex or break off her contract.

At that time, Christine accepted it for the sake of the movie role.

This time, too, she couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Donn's energy is too great, and everyone in the circle knows that Disney and Fox are teaming up to deal with Donn, but what is the result? Wall Street, Comcast, Time Warner, Viacom, and even the White House are secretly working hard to maintain Donn's personal image.

Disney and Fox's series of tactics not only failed to defeat Donn, but also pushed him to an unprecedented new height.

Even Harvey Weinstein's bastard order, Christine agreed, and Donn's small request, of course, she had no reason to refuse.

"Of course, the movie you personally produced must be very good! As for Miss Portman, her acting skills are proof enough, she is so good!" Christine Thomas secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled a little reluctantly.

Tang En showed a smile and stretched out his right hand, "If there is a suitable opportunity, Tang En Pictures will cooperate with you." ”

"Thank you. ”

Now Christine Thomas's smile is much more natural. Regardless of whether Donne's words were promised or not, at least she got a favor from Donne.

After the separation, Natalie whispered, "You have such a bad attitude, aren't you afraid that she will vote against you?"

Don shook his head, "She's not an American, if she doesn't have a dim sum machine and means, how can she be in Hollywood? Don't worry, Cannes is not an anonymous vote, she doesn't dare to risk her future." ”

"It turns out that you all operate like this, and I feel that this award is quite boring whether to win it or not. Natalie's mood fell.

Tang En was a little angry, but seeing her tired face and slightly frowning eyebrows, his heart softened again, "How is it?

"It hurts, it hurts to walk. Natalie pursed her lips, tears in her eyes.

Tang En said distressedly: "Didn't I say it, let you stay in the hotel to rest." ”

"That's boring. Natalie rolled her eyes.

Don sighed, "Forget it, when I find Jonathan and explain what he says, I'll take you away." ”

"Where are you going?"

"England, Germany, Italy, Paris are also a trip. It's not publicity, we're on vacation. ”

Natalie blinked coquettishly, "But it's the premiere in the afternoon, aren't we going to participate? There are still ten days left in the film festival, don't we promote it?"

Don waved his hand, "There's no need! Let the people of third world countries join in the fun, this kind of down-and-out film festival is not interesting." After the black-box operation, let's withdraw. ”

Natalie was both lost and disappointed. Cannes, France, was once the mecca of Hollywood, and it is synonymous with film art.

Unexpectedly, today has become a place to sell films and thighs.

It's a little disgusting to think that the suspender of a European female star's dress on the red carpet just now "accidentally" fell off, and the entire upper body was completely exposed.

Of course, there is no shortage of hype on the Oscar red carpet, but the means are usually a competition in costumes, a hundred schools of thought in hairstyles, and at most "accidentally" fall on your heels.

This act of undressing in public is simply a shame for women for the traditionally conservative Natalie.

Actresses, can they only earn popularity by taking off their clothes?

"Then let's go, this kind of film festival is a complete waste of time. Natalie pursed her lips with an indifferent expression, "By the way, what about the Venice Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival?

Donn shrugged, "It depends on how many of the judges are from Hollywood." But if I were to give every judge a movie, guess how many would turn it down?"

The corners of Natalie's mouth trembled, and her expression sneered, "You're so generous!"

Don sighed and shook his head, "I don't want to operate in the dark, I also want the art of film to be more pure, but ...... I care more about you. ”

Natalie, of course, understood what Donn meant, and pursed her lips, "Thank you." I'm confident now, Harvard isn't a big deal, and my boyfriend didn't even finish high school, isn't he also a famous big guy?"

Don laughed and was in a good mood.

……

Outside the movie's exhibition hall, Don finally found Jonathan Demmy, who was having a speculative conversation with the director Jiang.

But as soon as he saw Donn, Jonathan Demmy immediately forgot about Director Jiang, "Don, what a coincidence! It's a pity, I should have accepted your invitation to shoot in the first place." ”

Don smiled and went with the flow, "yes, this movie is really good, maybe it can win the big prize!"

"The grand prize?"

Jonathan Demmi was stunned for a moment.

"yes. Don made no secret of his thoughts, "At least I can win the Best Actress award, Nat's performance is fantastic, you must go to see the movie when it is shown." ”

Jonathan Demmy said with a smile: "Of course, I am the judge, and we will watch all the entries and make an objective and fair judgment." ”

Don said directly: "Can you give all your tickets to Natalie?"

Jonathan Demmi froze.

When he participated in the Oscars that year, he also made a public relations to the college judges, which was never so direct. Such a blunt and cheeky request for votes is basically something that only Harvey Weinstein can do.

Natalie was embarrassed to find a crack in the ground to get into, and quietly ran to the side, pretending to look at the poster.

Don didn't blush, his heart didn't beat, "Jonathan, I need your vote." Your ticket is able to decide the fate. ”

"This ......"

Jonathan Demmi is a veteran director with some basic ethics, and he can't accept such an undisguised black-box operation.

Don smiled and said, "Even if I owe you a favor." Why don't I have the opportunity to invest in a film and you will direct it? Down Pictures has a lot of good projects. ”

This is not a lie.

Tang En has several suspense scripts in his hands, all of which were written by the screenwriting department, and the investment is not much, one or two million is enough. And in Donn's mind, there are also many classic movie blueprints.

Jonathan Demmi is good at thriller and suspense films, as long as the reputation is not bad, there is basically no possibility of losing money.

"No...... No, I'm working on a story. Jonathan Demmi waved his hand, but seeing that Donne's face suddenly sank, his tone immediately changed, "But the matter of voting, if it is really not bad, I will definitely support Hollywood." ”

Don laughed, "Thank you so much, trust me, Jonathan, excellent!"

It's just a smile.

He really didn't expect that he killed Jon Landau first, then killed Bruce Willis, and then argued with Disney and Fox, leaving such a terrifying impression that even Jonathan Demmy was a little noisy.

Sure enough, it's infamous!

"Done?"

After Jonathan Demi left, Natalie's voice came softly from behind her.

Don smiled, "Of course, it's easy. The most difficult thing to do is Luc Besson, the other two Hollywood filmmakers, coercion and lure are too simple. ”

Natalie stared into Donn's eyes, looking deeply, "I found you to be really good. ”

Don laughed, hugged her in his arms, lowered his voice, and said evilly, "I was careful last night, for fear of hurting you, I have something worse." ”

"You!" Natalie's pretty face turned crimson, and a hint of unconvinced coquettishness flashed in her eyes, "When I recover, I look good with you!"

"Haha!"

Dear Nat, very interesting.
