Chapter Forty-Eight: The Beach
At eight o'clock in the morning, Pao Hui woke up and called room service to clean up the room, and he opened the curtains.
In later generations, there are so many celebrities who have caused a lot of privacy exposure because they didn't pull the curtains.
Fan Ye is in the limelight now, and there is a stock market crash of a convoy staring at her!
Xu Hui will never underestimate the paparazzi, as long as he lives in a hotel, the curtains in his room must be closed, unless he is sure that there is nothing unsightly in the room!
The hotel where Fan Bingbing left at four o'clock in the morning - people are going to dress up to attend the LV new product launch today.
With a glass of milk in hand, stand on the balcony and look out over the town of Cannes.
Cannes in May is indeed beautiful, with blue seas and blue skies, sandy beaches, good food, beautiful women, and a bunch of the world's most famous filmmakers.
It's a pity that Xu Hui is a guest after all.
Tomorrow the festival should be over...
……
The Cannes Chinese Night is a big party for all the Chinese filmmakers who participated in the Cannes Film Festival.
Filmmakers from across the Taiwan Strait and three places gathered together to speak freely, and of course, a bunch of foreign media, including film companies, were definitely in attendance.
At the beginning of this event, everyone was very enthusiastic, until the official participated.
directly raised the original private film business to the level of a gala...
Then, there is no then.
Having participated in all sorts of galas in the country is not enough?
Finally came to Cannes and still had to attend that kind of decent party?
It's embarrassing.
Without a big-name party, it will not attract the media, without the media, there will be no small stars to join, without small stars, the periphery will not participate, a vicious circle, the original good 'Cannes China Night' is getting more and more deserted...
This year, I probably gave a death order, and I had to find a few people to support the field.
Then Xu Hui was invited to participate in...
It was easy to stay up for two hours, and the rest of the time was finally not officially involved - bonfires plus beach barbecues!
Pao Hui changed into beach pants and chatted shirtless.
"Mr. Xu's trip to Cannes this time has gained a lot. ”
"Eating with a mouthful of food, compared with Mr. Yu, and Bona. ”
That's right, he was chatting with Yu Dong.
It is said that Bona should hate Pao Hui and his Huiwen world, and most of the talents in Huiwen Tianxia's film and television department are poached from Huayi Brothers and Bona.
Including Huiwen's money bags, Xu Liang was a senior talent in Bona before.
“… Mr. Xu is too funny, who doesn't know that your "Once Upon a Time" sold for $30 million just for the overseas copyright, and we can't make so much money in a year. ”
"30 million? Who did you listen to? So far, we have only signed a sales agreement with the Southeast Asian side, and the amount of income is only less than 4 million US dollars, and other parties are still discussing, how can there be such a big profit!"
“… Well, that's probably when I misheard. ”
Yu Dong snorted, and the topic forcibly shifted to the current situation of Chinese films...
"In short, I believe that our market will continue to expand and, one day, surpass North America to become the largest box office market in the world..."
"Then we look forward to that day together. ”
"By the way, Director Xu, I heard that you are going to make a 3D version of a martial arts movie?"
"Well, there's an idea for that. ”
"I don't know if we have the opportunity to participate in this project? I have always liked martial arts movies since I was a child..."
"Mr. Yu is interested? That's great, after returning to China, we'll talk about it in detail..."
After Yu Dong left, Xu Hui frowned slightly.
"Once Upon a Time" made a big profit of $30 million, it's!
Xu Hui knows very well that the buyout copyright of "Once Upon a Time" has been sold for almost $9 million, and the rest is a book-sharing box office.
The movie hasn't been released yet, who knows how much it will be at the box office?
And now that number has drifted to $30 million...
It is clear that someone deliberately put out fake news.
The reason is very simple, I don't want Xu Hui to win the award in Cannes, in addition, once the news reaches China, Huiwen World will really become a piece of fragrant bread!
The more profitable a film is, the less likely it is to win awards at film festivals, especially in Europe.
originally had the support of Tim Burton, even if "Once Upon a Time" could not win the Palme d'Or, at least it could win a jury prize or something, and now, Cannes will never allow the film hall to be tarnished by a commercial film!
As for Huiwen World.
In the past two years, although Huiwen Tianxia has not performed badly, many people regard it as a variety show production company, even if there are occasional masterpieces, they are all Xu Hui's movies, at most it is the second new picture, which is not comparable to the traditional major film and television production companies.
Many companies don't take Huiwen World too seriously!
However, once the news of "Huang Feihong" selling $30 million of foreign copyrights reaches China, it is conceivable how many companies will be interested in Huiwen World?
In fact, there are already Internet companies that want to buy shares in Huiwen World...
Xu Hui accounts for 43 percent, Huang Wen accounts for 18 percent, Xu Liang and Chen Farong each account for 8 percent, the remaining Huayi Brothers account for 7 percent of the shares, Guangguang Media accounts for 8 percent of the shares, and 5 percent are scattered on the company's senior management.
Even if Xu Hui can grit his teeth...
However, business matters are not something you can decide by gritting your teeth!
Moreover, Huiwen seeks to go public, and it must attract capital to enter the market, and at that time, it is difficult to say that Huiwen is still not Xu Hui's company...
Yes, Pao Hui's brain is not naturally suitable for business...
It's not Huiwen Tianxia that people fancie, it's him!
……
Chen Jingshen held the grilled lobster in his hand, tore open the lobster's thigh, broke the shell, and ate it happily, and then Xu Hui walked over with a solemn face.
"The news is coming from Cannes!"
"I knew it was from Cannes, and then what?"
"What is there to follow?"
"You don't have to worry about someone deliberately trying to frame me!"
“… Said your movie was a big hit or did you frame you?"
"I..."
"Don't think about it so much, come, try the authentic Mediterranean lobster, it tastes good!"
Xu Hui was a little bored, but he still took the half-foot-long lobster.
"Are you Xu Hui?"
“… Yes, I am, may I ask you?"
Pao Hui smelled a smell of perfume, turned his head and looked, I'll go!
It's too vulgar!
How can it be so simple?
"Eva, my name is Eva, Eva Chen!"
didn't wait for Xu Hui to speak, this one had already hugged Xu Hui excitedly.
Pao Hui obviously felt that he was being eaten tofu.
Also, just listen to this girl's accent and know that this is a standard Northeasterner!
A Chinese, with such a name...
"I'm your fan, can we take a picture?"
"Of course..."
Pao Hui kept a smiling face, the two took a group photo, and then the girl walked away...
Less than ten seconds before and after.
What does it do?
"Tsk..."
Chen Jingshen couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Xu Hui take out a business card from his pocket.
"What are you talking about, I didn't want to contact her!"
Xu Hui was a little regretful, the woman just now was indeed a good cannon rack, and judging from her skillful brushing over her own big bang, that woman was definitely a very good person!
It's a pity that he doesn't have much idea about the pros...
