Chapter 688 Is it a wealthy family
The man who walked towards the side of the path was Luc Bessen.
He is also the one who is waiting for Bian Xuedao.
Although Bian Xuedao has watched many foreign movies, he, like most people, rarely remembers the names of foreign actors, let alone directors.
Over here...... Europe...... Cannes, France......
Bian Xuedao only remembers the name of a French director, which is Luc Bessen.
Because his movie "This Killer" is extremely famous.
Because Bian Xuedao likes parkour in "Violent Block".
Also because Luc Beson is the owner of Obaro Films.
Obaro Pictures is the only studio in Europe that can compete with Hollywood in some genres.
Youdao Film and Television Media Company, which is learning from Bian Xuedao, needs a partner like Obaro Films.
From the very beginning, Bian Xuedao has focused the strategic development of Youdao Film and Television Media Company on the mainland, East Asia and Europe. As for Hollywood, the water is too deep, and it is not enough to see that Bian Xuedao has invested so much capital in it.
In Bian Xuedao's strategic planning, he first invested in co-produced films, extended the tentacles of Youdao Film and Television Media Company into Europe, and then sold the copyright of the "Voice" model to European countries after the launch of "The Voice", and made "The Voice of Britain", "The Voice of Germany", "The Voice of France", "The Voice of the Netherlands", ......
It's not just "The Voice".
Bian Xuedao has a winery and an airport in Europe, and when the variety show of Youdao Film and Television Media Company becomes popular in the future, he can come to Europe to shoot and shoot. European countries have different historical and cultural customs, and they are much thicker than those of the United States.
In Bian Xuedao's heart, he has a prophet a few years ahead of his time, and can basically accurately predict the market box office prospects of a movie script, while Luc Bessen's film company has a group of experienced "professional brothers". These "little brothers" can be limited by Luc Bessen's vow of "only making ten films in his life", and take the helm of the director, making a series of films with a strong personal style, which can be said to have two hits.
Therefore, the prophet + professional - Youdao Film and Television Media + Obaro Pictures - can definitely burst out the energy and effect of 1+1>2.
Of course, there are difficulties.
Obaro Films is a professional film company that has become famous, Youdao Film and Television Media has just been established, and the two are very different from each other in terms of brand, strength and influence.
The one qiē depends on whether Bian Xuedao's contact with Luc Bessen is smooth, and whether Bian Xuedao can convince Luc Bessen.
………………
Luc Bessen is a very reckless man with a big hand.
When he walked the red carpet and played a birthday video, he didn't see Luc Besson, and the drinking party had been going on for a long time before he was late.
His hair was messy, his beard was unkempt, his black dress was ordinary, and his bow tie was a little crooked, but none of that mattered, the important thing was that he was Luc Besson.
Mixed with Luc Bessen's Cheng dù today, he has the capital to "be spontaneous".
Luc Bessen walked to the side to learn the Tao, there was a matter of asking for something.
O'Barro Pictures has a movie that has just started, and the script has two scenes of the vineyard and the castle. There are many French estates, but Luc Besson fell in love with the Hongyan estate.
In the hearts of the French, Château de la Château de la Roug is considered to be one of the most romantic, beautiful and elegant of the Château de Bordeaux.
The Castle of Rouge Manor is the most suitable for the movie that Obaro is filming, so as soon as he heard that the owner of Rouge Winery was at the reception, Luc Beson said a few words to his old friend and walked over directly.
Luc Bessen is reckless, but he is not stupid.
It didn't take long for him to realize that it was a bit rude for him to ask an Asian owner he was meeting for the first time, after all, once the crew moved into the manor, it would break the tranquility of the manor.
So, when he was still about five meters away from Bian Xuedao, Luc Beson thought of an idea-
Three days later, Luc Bessen and the president of Cartier and the president of the Society of French Artists will host a dinner for all the celebrities who are eligible to receive them.
Luc Bessen decided to invite Bian Xuedao to a dinner three days later, and then mention the matter of borrowing the manor for filming at the dinner.
It's only three days, not a delay.
Besides, although Luc Besson is not bad for money, he must not rely on his own money to make movies, which is too risky and unrealistic. As the owner of Obaro Films, Luc Beson has never been averse to getting to know more rich people, and when the cash flow is not open, he uses a good script to lure them in.
Bian Xuedao's first contact with Luc Bessen was very smooth.
A Chinese man and a French man talked happily in English, laughing and laughing, and clinking glasses from time to time, and a few actresses who secretly paid attention to Bian Xuedao were secretly surprised.
After chatting for a while, Luc Bessen officially sent an invitation to Bian Xuedao for a dinner.
I couldn't ask for it, so I readily agreed.
Connecting with Luc Bessen, the purpose of this trip to Cannes was more than half achieved, and he was in a good mood while learning Taoism, and he let go a lot in the second half of the reception, chatting, drinking, and taking photos.
After only a while, he received seven invitations, including four banquets, two film preparation and press conferences, and a Chinese and foreign film forum jointly organized by China Film Shangying Changying Bayi and other companies.
There is no doubt that in people's hearts, inviting a Chinese owner with the title of vice president of the Bordeaux Classified Grandeur Federation can greatly enhance the "gold content" of banquets, press conferences, and forums, increase the topicality of media reports, and immediately raise the level of activities.
Because, celebrities are fake celebrities, and the owners of top wineries are real celebrities.
At this time, Bian Xuedao really understood Zhu Haishan's good intentions in sending him a top winery.
Just like Zhu Haishan once told him - winery, don't just think about how much you want to spend in the future, but think about how much wealth it will make you and how much fame it will bring. This is no ordinary cat and dog winery, this is one of the top five wineries since it was classified in 1855.
Zhu Haishan also told him that the reputation of individuals and families who own the five major wineries is world-wide, and if you bear the name of the owner of the five major wineries, your social level will be raised by several levels, and at the same time, you can absorb the century-old cultural precipitation of the winery into yourself and get out of the nouveau riche category.
At the 60th anniversary reception of the Cannes Film Festival, Bian Xuedao found that every qiē was said by Zhu Haishan.
With a top winery under his feet, he has directly risen to the international social fame. If there is no Zhu Haishan and let Bian Xuedao struggle by himself, even if he can finally enter the circle in front of him, he will definitely not have the honor at this time.
To put it bluntly, if the winery were to be turned into a $1 billion deposit in a Swiss bank, or into a stake in a large international company, it would be difficult for Bian Xuedao to have the courtesy it has today. You know, the first row of the film festival is not simply to see who has the money to let whoever sit.
If you want to sit in the first row, either you have noble blood, or you have achieved convincing excellence, or you have considerable fame.
None of these three are the same as Bian Xuedao, but he owns a top winery with a history of hundreds of years.
The century-old fame of the top winery was absorbed by Bian Xuedao.
Money is easy to earn, but fame is hard to maintain.
Zhu Haishan, a time traveler who is also "a stranger in a foreign land" like Bian Xuedao, used a winery worth 1 billion US dollars to lift Bian Xuedao to a height that a reviewer could not imagine at all, allowing him to enter the international circle more than ten years or even decades early, experience the wonders of fame early, and help him recognize the importance of fame and fortune, which can be described as painstaking.
When I wished Haishan $1 billion to buy a winery, Bian Xuedao once wondered in his heart whether the premium was too much?
I wish Haishan spent $1 billion to buy not only the winery, but also the fame.
He buys the prestige of a top winery that has been built up over hundreds of years, and then puts a glittering "$1 billion" label on it to reinforce the value of the winery and the financial resources of the owner. This is also the reason why Zhu Haishan obviously bought two wineries, but only made one public.
Zhu Haishan, who has passed away, used the winery to teach Bian Xuedao the last lesson - whether it is an individual or a family, when it has developed to a certain extent, fame is more important than wealth.
………………
Returning to the hotel from the Festival Palace, Bian Xuedao's mood was a little complicated.
On the terrace of the hotel, he found Hong Chengfu, Pei Tong, and Dong Xue.
sat down next to Dong Xue, asked for a glass of water, and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Hong Chengfu said: "Talk about diamonds!"
"Diamonds?"
Hong Chengfu said: "There are luxury stores all over the place, and I can only talk about this. ”
Bian Xuedao turned his head and asked Dong Xue, "Did you see your favorite diamond jewelry in the afternoon?"
Dong Xue smiled and shook her head.
Hong Chengfu listened and said, "Asking a woman about diamonds is the right question." ”
Bian Xuedao asked, "Why?"
Hong Chengfu said: "In 1953, Twentieth Century Fox invested in the filming of "How to Marry a Millionaire", which tells the story of three beautiful models who plan to hook up the golden beetle. The film became a hit with Marilyn Monroe, whose 'Diamonds-are-a-girl's-best-friend' (diamonds are a woman's best friend') not only spoke the hearts of women all over the world, but has since been regarded as a classic. ”
Diamonds are a woman's best friend!
Bian Xuedao leaned back in his chair and said, "Not today, I'll accompany you to go shopping tomorrow." ”
Hong Chengfu looked at Bian Xuedao and asked, "Attending a drinking party, how do you look tired?"
"For me, speaking English and French is an individual life. ”
Hong Chengfu suddenly smiled and asked, "Are there any female celebrities who want to marry into a wealthy family like you?"
Pei Tong listened and pushed Hong Chengfu: "What are you talking nonsense!"
Bian Xuedao moved the chair to Dong Xue's side, grabbed Dong Xue's hand and said, "Wealthy? ”
Hong Chengfu said: "You are a wealthy family. ”
Bian Xuedao took a sip of water: "Don't make trouble." ”
Hong Chengfu said: "I am very serious. ”
Bian Xuedao: "......"
Hong Chengfu rubbed his hands and asked, "Do you know Forbes magazine, which is tinkering with the rich list?"
Bian Xuedao nodded: "I know." ”
Hong Chengfu asked again: "Do you know what the threshold for being on the Forbes Global Rich List is?"
Bian Xuedao shook his head: "I don't know." ”
Hong Chengfu crossed a "10" in the air with his finger and said: "The threshold for being on the list is $1 billion." ”
Hong Chengfu continued: "On March 8 this year, Forbes magazine announced the list of the world's richest people worth more than $1 billion, and in 2007 there were 946 billionaires worth more than $1 billion in the world, including 20 mainland billionaires, 21 Hong Kong billionaires and 8 TW billionaires. ”
After speaking, under the gaze of Dong Xue and Pei Tong, Hong Chengfu said: "I have read the list, you are the fish that slipped through the net this year, but this time I participated in the film festival, I estimate that you will definitely be on the list next year." ”
"The total wealth is on the list of 1,000 people in the world, okay, count the invisible rich, double the number of people on the list, and you are also one of the 2,000 richest people in the world, do you think you are considered a wealthy family?"
