Chapter Forty-Six: A Day in the Life of Cannon Light

Xu Hui walked along the coastal road.

This wide, uncluttered promenade on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, with sandy bays on one side and luxurious resorts on the other, is a mix of ancient buildings from the last century and modern high-rises.

In the middle of the street is a green belt of palm trees, where flowers bloom all year round and come alive in the sun.

But it's night, and Xu Hui isn't stupid enough to go shopping alone.

Beside him is Tong Liya.

Yaya's trip to Cannes is also very busy, this girl quietly got the L'Oreal platform person qualification, in addition to this thing, she also participated in the "China Night" and "Huayi Night" various activities under the leadership of the agent...

Therefore, even Xu Hui didn't have much chance to meet her.

Today is the fifth day of the opening of the Cannes Film Festival, and although various activities are still in full swing, neither of them wants to participate.

I made an appointment to go around Cannes together...

It can also be regarded as promoting "Once Upon a Time"...

As for Wu Jing, this product is now very popular, and he is busy every day, participating in various drinking parties...

"Alas!"

The sea breeze gently brushed Xu Hui's cheeks with a hint of tide, which was very comfortable, but Pao Hui thought of something and sighed.

"What's wrong?"

Tong Liya has been holding Xu Hui's big hand and secretly observing the neighborhood, and there are indeed media secretly filming...

β€œβ€¦ I'm just thinking about how I should pay you for the next two movies!"

Xu Hui asked with a smile.

β€œβ€¦ Salary?"

Tong Liya was entangled for a moment: "I don't care, but my agent's side..."

"Brother Wu Jing has to raise the price to at least 10 million, you..."

"What about me?"

"No two million, I don't think so!"

"Huh, so tall?"

Tong Liya was a little surprised.

took over the filming of "Huang Feihong", the remuneration given by Huiwen Tianxia according to the market price, Wu Jing 3.8 million, Tong Liya 600,000...

In one movie, the salary of these two people has increased several times!

"What do you think?"

Xu Hui was not angry, and the white-eyed girl.

"But... But I'm only 60,000 for one episode of a TV series..."

"In the future, you will receive fewer TV series, you are also an international superstar!"

"What kind of international superstar am I..."

"Hehe, you'll know when you return to China this time!"

Xu Hui smiled mysteriously and looked around: "Let's go, I'll take you to eat something." ”

"Okay!"

……

Rue Ménardière, the main thoroughfare connecting Cannes New Town to the Old Town, is popular and has the atmosphere of a pedestrian street in the south of France.

It is a more down-to-earth place in Cannes.

"You put away your wallet, there are a lot of thieves here!"

Xu Hui advised.

The security environment abroad can sometimes be really speechless, especially in France and Italy!

"Really?"

Tong Liya looked around, although she didn't see the thief, she still obediently clenched her bag tightly.

"This is it, the lobsters here are famous all over France!"

Xu Hui led Tong Liya to the ERNEST deli and asked for two seafood platters and two glasses of red wine.

"How about tasting it?"

"Hmm... Tastes good!"

It's obviously not the first time that Yaya has skillfully cut a piece with a knife and fork, stuffed it into her mouth, and then a rich delicious taste fills the base of her tongue...

"That's good, I'm going too!"

Pao Hui's eyes lit up, and he picked up his knife and fork and began to enjoy the food...

"You haven't been here?"

"It's also my first time in Cannes... Wow, it's delicious!"

Xu Hui chewed heavily.

β€œβ€¦ So how do you know the lobster here is delicious?"

"Oh, there's a food book here, see for yourself!"

Xu Hui took out a leaflet from his arms, and it was written 'Cannes Food Recommendation'...

Paralyzed, then you still pretend to be an old driver?

……

The two walked around the rue de la Menadier, which was not interesting.

To be honest, French folklore is not comparable to our China, we have a history of more than 5,000 years, and the cultural relics alone are several times more than theirs!

Cannes is still too small, 20 square kilometers of islands...

"It's back!"

Walking to the hotel, Chen Farong looked at the two with a smile.

β€œβ€¦ I went up first. ”

Tong Liya is very sensible, and when Chen Farong appeared, it was unexpected that Xu Hui must have something to do.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

followed Chen Farong to the corner of the hall, sat down, and asked for a cup of coffee.

"That's what the media field gave us!"

Chen Farong took out two magazines in her bag.

"Variety" and "Hollywood Reporter", these two official media in Cannes, although they cannot affect the choice of the judges, they definitely represent the most intuitive cognition of the media and the audience.

Xu Hui opened two magazines.

"Variety" - this movie can be called a classic!

Xu Hui's "Huang Feihong" vividly shows the image of a chivalrous man in the background of modern Chinese people's poor life, which is not only because the film is born with the foundation of the family and country feelings, but also because the director Xu Hui uses the contradiction between tradition and modernity, through the shaping of various character details, so that the audience can find the epitome of the times in change in this character, so that the image of a generation of grandmasters played by Wu Jing is truly deeply rooted in human nature.

It's hard to imagine that the director of Once Upon a Time is only 26 years old, and compared to Robin Hood, this is perhaps the right way to open an epic!

Looking at the media scores, Xu Hui himself couldn't believe it, and the North American media gave a high score of 4.8 points, after all, "Once Upon a Time" is a very market-oriented movie, but the European media have also shown high scores of 4.5 and 4.9, which is incredible!

Is it the movie that is too good, or is the whole world in chaos?

The media, especially the official media, are not film critics, and their commentary and coverage can have a very powerful influence on public opinion and the public!

"Once Upon a Time" was unanimously touted by these media, and it is not a problem to attract fans to watch it at all, if the fan response is good enough, the media will in turn tout it even more!

"Tell me, is it out that Colombia's offer has come out?"

Closing the magazine, Xu Hui probably had a bottom in his heart.

"The Colombian side proposed two plans, one is that they directly buy out the distribution rights in North America for $6 million..."

"Impossible!"

Before she finished speaking, Xu Hui had already flatly refused.

Lao Tzu still expects this movie to lay golden eggs!

β€œβ€¦ There is also a plan, the distribution rights in North America will be handed over to them, but we will only get a quarter of the profits..."

"Including DVD sales profits?"

"Well, included. ”

β€œβ€¦ It's too little, we're going to divide at least a third. ”

Xu Hui waved his hand, a little dissatisfied.

The bulk of North America is DVD sales, and you only give a quarter, isn't it too much?

β€œβ€¦ We'll keep following up. ”

Chen Farong nodded.

"It's really not possible, you can contact other companies to try, and we can't only work with Colombia. ”

"Okay, by the way, I just got the news, Tim Burton likes this "Once Upon a Time" very much"
