For most people, Chris is a complete stranger and has no idea what he's here for.

The reporters couldn't guess the identity of the white man at once, so they silently sent the photo back to see if the editorial office could find relevant information by comparing pictures with a picture comparison search.

But this kind of celebration must be related to the film industry, and it is natural to work hard in this direction.

Zhang Chu was not going to announce this matter at the celebration banquet of "Farewell My Concubine", which would make a noise and turn the celebration party into a press conference.

"Director Xu, you've worked hard, sit down and rest!"

"I'm almost tired of my old bones, but luckily I'll be able to retire soon. "Old man Xu is wearing a Tang costume, and his face looks ruddy, which should be in good spirits on happy occasions.

Zhang Chu smiled and introduced to Xu Ji: "This is Chris from Universal Pictures, and he happened to have a cooperative relationship with them and came over together. ”

Although Chris could not understand Chinese, he knew that this should be introducing himself, so he took the initiative to reach out and said: "Very happy to meet you, "Farewell to the Overlord" is a very good film, congratulations on winning the Palme d'Or." ”

Even if he is not familiar with Xu Ji at all, it is still no problem to behave, what Hollywood values most is personal ability, and the director who can win the Palme d'Or is by no means an ordinary person, worthy of respect.

Xu Ji was a little surprised, the person in front of him turned out to be from Universal Pictures, and it seemed that Zhang Chu had reached a deal with Universal again, but since he didn't say anything, he wouldn't ask.

Now several major Hollywood film companies have cooperative relations with Zhang Chu, and several of his works belong to different companies, which is quite rare!

Generally speaking, most writers are fixed to cooperate with a film company, which is equivalent to being tied up.

However, Zhang Chu's works were launched a bit quickly, and if it was just a cooperation with one company, it would be impossible to start shooting three movies at the same time.

Generally speaking, you have to wait for the release of the first film before preparing for subsequent films, and if "Life of Pi" is not released, "The Da Vinci Code" may only stay in the project preliminary list.

Now the grand occasion of several movies being released in a year is not something that every writer can achieve, it is simply a gluttonous feast for readers, and they will not stop until they empty their wallets!

For fans, they are very happy to pay for it, and they can't wait for Zhang Chu to post new works every month to make money.

It's not scary to circle money, it's scary not to circle money!

Just like many fans who like European and American singers, they have saved enough money and want to listen to the concerts of Taylor or Ed Sheeran and Mu Ye, but people don't come here to hold concerts at all, and they can't help if they want to be circled for money.

Fans are in such a state of mind, spending money for their idols and being willing.

Although Peng Nan had already guessed in his heart that Zhang Chu had reached a deal with Universal Pictures, he couldn't help but go over and test it now.

"Xiao Zhang, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Peng, the person in charge of Paramount China, and he is here specifically for your face today!" The person in charge of the publisher introduced Peng Nan and said with interest: "You two talk slowly, I'll go and see the media." ”

Zhang Chu still didn't know Paramount's plan, but he had already signed the contract before coming to the celebration, and now he couldn't regret it.

Peng Nan praised: "After reading you, I know what it means to be famous, we old guys are about to be photographed to death on the beach, your writing is very good, and readers from different cultural backgrounds can like it, which is really rare." ”

"Everywhere, it's all a fluke, I write it casually. Zhang Chu said casually and modestly, he really didn't have much credit, most of the credit was brought by these books himself.

"I heard that you've finished the Lord of the Rings series, I wonder if I'll have the opportunity to read it in advance? I like this story so much that not only me, but even the U.S. headquarters have praised you, saying that they want to get to know you. ”

Zhang Chu nodded, the news that had been written had been spread through the media, and he didn't need to keep it a secret.

Peng Nan's meaning is actually very clear, and now he just wants to get an exact news from Zhang Chu's mouth, what is the copyright of "The Lord of the Rings". If it is not in his hands, then there is no need to waste time, just report directly to the headquarters.

If it's still there, then it's definitely going to continue to be active and try to take it down.

"It's a very graphic story, and we're all curious about what difficulties Frodo and his party will encounter in the course of their adventures, and if it were made into a movie, it would be particularly shocking. Do you have any plans for this? Our Paramount has a lot of money and is a long-established production company, so you can consider us and open it on any given terms!"

Zhang Chu laughed secretly in his heart, now the conditions are casual, and the producers of Paramount didn't say that when they were on the island of Cannes.

If he had said this earlier, maybe he would really choose Paramount, if the derivatives and the box office dividends of the movie were all set at more than 10%, the boss of the other party's head office would not have scolded himself as a vampire in front of the media, right?

However, this occasion is by no means suitable for publicity, Zhang Chu never expected that so many people from the production company would be present when he brought Chris over, he just wanted to put the truth in front of the reporters, and let the reporters find the truth themselves.

Now if the news of "The Lord of the Rings" comes out, it will definitely steal the attention of "Farewell My Concubine", and cannibalism will really outweigh the losses.

The news of the film and television adaptation of "The Lord of the Rings" can be postponed a little, anyway, the movie has not started filming yet, and there is no need to grab the popularity of an upcoming film.

"I can't admit it, I can't deny it. ”

This classic Glomar quote from the CIA has always been famous, and it couldn't be more appropriate here.

Peng Nan smiled, knowing from it what Zhang Chu didn't want to make public.

"It's a shame. But your writing career has just begun, and we definitely have opportunities to work together in the future, and I hope you will consider us next time. Paramount can now concentrate all its efforts on a movie in a way that the rest of the companies can't. ”

He maintained his demeanor very well, and did not show a different look because of the news of missing the copyright of "The Lord of the Rings", in the end, he was just the person in charge of the China region, and this matter itself should not be done by him.

Chris has already started chatting with the rest of the people at this time, as a Hollywood gold medal producer, of course, he is at home on this occasion, most of them can speak some English, and they are not strangers to communication.

Zhang Chu looked around and looked around Chris, who was surrounded by stars, and couldn't help but shake his head, these people didn't have any domineering feeling in order to get the opportunity to be on camera in Hollywood movies!

It's just that it's all in vain.

At least they won't be able to get a role in "The Lord of the Rings", unless they are willing to make a cameo appearance as an orc.

The movie must respect the original work, and in fantasy works, they are basically white, and there will be no Asians and blacks, unless they are going to play some makeup that makes them look invisible.

Ringwraiths, orcs, and Sauron are almost all like this, or they can play the dragon Smaug in The Hobbit yet.

Zhang Chu secretly thought in his heart, maybe he could change the later works to let more Chinese characters appear, just like "The Da Vinci Code" adapted Professor Robert Langdon into Professor Yang Xuan, the overall storyline has not changed much, and it is still popular in countries around the world.

But such a situation is hard to come by, and it doesn't work every time, and it depends on luck.

"I don't seem to have a chance to try the next book, so next time I try it, I have to create a little opportunity for Asian actors!"

Of course, he is not a virgin either, and this attempt must be based on the premise that it does not undermine the integrity of the work.

It's like he can't shoehorn an Asian character into "The Lord of the Rings", and the sense of disobedience is too strong.

If it is simply to write a work in which Chinese are the protagonists, then if it is detached from the plot, there will definitely not be too many readers, and it is still a question whether it can be adapted into a movie at that time.

Just as he was standing in front of the food and thinking, Xu Ji walked over, holding a golden trophy in his hand and said: "Don't forget your things with me, take them back and put them away, don't lose them, you are the best screenwriter who first won the trophy." ”

Zhang Chu was stunned, and couldn't help asking: "The first to get the trophy? Isn't it dozens of times? How did I get a first place?"

"Because you're lucky to have a good time. In the past, the Cannes Film Festival was very picky, except for the Palme d'Or, which issued a gold leaf, the rest of the awards were issued with a certificate of award. When I won the Best Director Award that year, I only had a bare, rolled-up certificate, how could this trophy be conspicuous. ”

Xu Ji was still a little worried about this matter, like a child.

"This year, they don't know what's going on, but they have trophies for each award, and they are all gold leaves, but the size of the gold leaves is different!"

The appearance of the trophy is the shape of a palm tree leaf, but it is plated with a layer of gold, and it looks like it should have found a big sponsor, otherwise it would not be so confident.

Before this Cannes Film Festival, the gold leaf was only awarded to the biggest awards, but now Zhang Chu looked at the reduced version of the gold leaf in Mr. Xu's hand, and couldn't help but smile: "So that's the case, it seems that I will leave some traces in the history of the Cannes Film Festival!"

He is a bookwriter, even if he was shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival for the first time, he was so lucky to get the gold leaf trophy, no wonder Mr. Xu is also envious.

Although "Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or this time, this award is for the producer, and not for one person to occupy alone. Zhang Chu's best screenwriter is different, you can take it back and put it in your own hands, and if you don't have money in the future, maybe you can sell it for a high price if you put it up for auction!

"Although you kid is young now, you have to accumulate well and lay a good foundation. Don't blindly try to be fast, it will overdraw your creative ability, and sometimes it's good to stop and rest. ”

Xu Ji left a word of advice and turned away, as the protagonist of today, he was really busy.

But Zhang Chu sighed, if his current behavior is turned into creation, those real writers are estimated to have to travel through time and space, at best, it can only be called a secondary creation, which is still gold on the face.

With the help of the savior system, Kavin is impossible, not in this life!

The freshly arrived trophy looked particularly cute, and the certificate was written in French that he couldn't read.

"I'll have to scan it with my phone later, and if there's any oolong, I'll have to go to the Cannes organizing committee for trouble. ”

Zhang Chu, who rarely takes selfies, couldn't help but hold his mobile phone in his right hand, take a selfie with the trophy and certificate in his left hand, and then send it to his Weibo.

It's totally okay to waste them!

At this time, the celebration scene can be said to be a grand event in the entertainment industry, almost all entertainment media are reporting on this matter, from the red carpet outside to the parties of various stars in the infield, almost every infield photo that is exposed will be watched by the people who eat melons.

Who is in the same frame with whom, and whoever takes a selfie with whom is actually a scheming hiding behind.

Zhang Chu was good here, and posted a photo of himself and the trophy, which made fans give a thumbs up and praise.

"The trophy is a bit small, and the Cannes organizing committee is really picky. ”

"Congratulations to Zhang Chuda for winning another award!"

"Actually, I think Zhang Chu is the typical protagonist's life, and he has had so much luck all the way, it's not an exaggeration to say that he is a humanoid koi. ”

"What about the burden of a good idol, I didn't give myself a picture, and a pimple came out on my forehead. ”

"It's commendable and praiseworthy! I'm so happy to have written all of the Lord of the Rings trilogy so quickly, and I haven't even finished the first part yet!"

"Please, make your debut quickly, this is Yan Fan's victory!"

"Movie tickets are ready, everyone will make an appointment when the time comes!"

"Look at this narcissistic appearance, isn't it just a compliment? I gave it!"

Their focus is not actually on the movie, but in Zhang Chu's two unreleased works, who made him a serious author, fans are almost all book lovers.

This group of fans praised people or made Zhang Chu very useful, and they were no longer anxiously urging to change.

Because they know that the Lord of the Rings series will definitely be published soon.

Zhang Chu has never broken his promise in this regard, saying that after it is written, it will definitely be sent within a month or two, and it will not be like some authors, who finish the manuscript, but it will still be completed for a year or two!

Fans don't care about movie rights at all when they don't see the content, and that's a bit far away from them.

Usually, Zhang Chu's Weibo can easily have hundreds of thousands of likes, but this time it is a Cannes trophy and a selfie from a straight male angle, and the number of likes is even more, and it soon exceeded one million.

Many people are reluctant to forward to their Weibo, but it doesn't take much effort to like it, and they all use this way to express their support and congratulations.
