Chapter 393: Least Important
"Hey, little tomato, Dad didn't come to see you, and he didn't come to pick you up, because something was really wrong, didn't he come to see you now?" In the hotel suite, Li Xu chased the little girl around. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Don't listen, don't listen, Wang Ba recites the scriptures." Annabelle shook her head like a rattle, refusing to forgive her father.
Although the tone was a little strange, the meaning of Chinese could still be heard, so Hu Yinmeng and Zhang Aijia, who were sitting not far away, couldn't help but twitch their shoulders. And Isabel, who came out further, continued to talk to Sophie after taking a look at Li Xu? Marceau spoke, but Sophie had a cold face and looked like she was ignoring her.
The reason why Li Xu came to Cannes at this time, instead of going to Damo to deal with the matter of nomination, was because he hadn't seen his daughter for nearly two months.
Anyway, the name matter has to wait for the result on the father's side, instead of waiting there, it is better to go to Cannes to cheer and meet the little guy casually.
Although he wants to run all over the world, if he can get along with his children as much as possible, he will try to get along with them as much as possible, which is good for his children's growth.
Normally, Annabelle stays with her mom for a while and then with her dad for a while. And because Dad has to run around, he spends a lot less time with Dad than on Mom's side.
So as long as the eldest daughter is around, Li Xu will always find time to play with her, and the little guy can still accept this model.
Only this time, he had to retreat for a period of time to graduate successfully, except for the necessary documents and information processing, he hardly had too much contact with the outside world, and basically stayed in Cambridge City, at most in a villa in Boston.
He even planned to abstain from sex, but it was a shameful failure, a housekeeper and two maids by his side, plus a secretary, who were either smart or beautiful, and ate as much as he wanted. Although the other beautiful secretary hasn't eaten yet, it's very simple to eat.
In addition, there were three women at Harvard alone, and they couldn't go to Yale, so they insisted on it for two days.
However, he has a hard time, it doesn't mean that the little guy has to understand, Annabelle, who is almost five years old, is the time to understand the world very emotionally, so he refuses to forgive himself for his father, who lived with his grandparents in San Francisco for two months and didn't come to see him.
Of course, since it was emotional, refusing to forgive was just talking, so after the father and daughter ran back and forth in the suite for a dozen laps, the little one finally giggled and rode back to the living room on his father's neck.
And, when Isabel couldn't see it, clapped her hands, called "Anna", and tried her to return to her arms, she still failed.
"Don't, I want Dad." Annabelle shouted, and grabbed her father's head tightly, making Isabel glare at Li Xu, who was snickering.
talked about movies as usual at dinner, and this year's Cannes has not yet ended, but Li Xu has basically never seen the films participating in the exhibition, so he can't interject in the discussion between Isabel and Sophie.
The two of them are also quite interesting, at the beginning Sophie was called Little Adjani because of her debut, so she was very bad with Isabel, and she often carried a gun and a stick when she spoke.
According to Isabel's previous temper, it must have to be scolded, but being chained by Li Xu's side for a few years has changed a lot, at least in the shadow of Michiko, she knows the importance of nurturing her qi, and knows that if she goes back quietly, she can make the other party suffer a bigger blow.
What's more, Li Xu once joked that she will be your maid in the future.
So in the past year, Sophie has been very hurt, and every time she provokes a conversation, Isabel blocks her back with an understatement of "You are Adjani second", and she almost vomits blood.
So in bed, she never gave up until she was exhausted, just to make Li Xu admit that she always had a place better than Isabel.
To be honest, she can be so obedient now, Isabel has half of the credit, and the other half is Li Xu who made anyone who tried to get close to her and get involved with her far away.
But when it comes to movies that don't involve the movies they starred in, there is still some common language, and of course, the communication is still not too pleasant.
"What about you? What's next? Don't tell me you're going to take this film to the Venice Film Festival in a few months. Li Xu had no choice but to shift his attention to Hu Yinmeng and Zhang Aijia.
It wasn't enough to participate in the Berlin Film Festival in February, they brought the main creators of "The Wrong Car" to Cannes again, but to participate in the exhibition instead of competing.
Although the Festival de Cannes is nowhere near as commercialized today as it was 30 years later, buying films that look like highlights at the festival is something that every studio that comes to the festival does.
But it is precisely because of the lack of commercialization that the crew of "The Wrong Car" will run from one film festival to another, trying hard to sell it. Who let the wealthy West Germans spend $100,000 to buy the rights to West Germany, and the Wanwan Press Bureau also said that it hoped that the film would achieve greater success after helping to blow a wave.
In addition, when the movie was released in early May, all kinds of green lights were opened, and the whole island rolled up NT$60 million, so Zhang Aijia still brought people to Cannes to see if it could be sold to the Iberian Peninsula again.
"No, I only earned about $100,000 at the Cannes Film Festival, and it's not interesting to go to Venice again, and I also donated a sum to the press office, which is enough." Zhang Aijia replied, "As for the future, Mr. Yang Dechang has a book over there, I want to see it, there should be more funds that can be used this year, right?" ”
"Of course - not to continue working with Inmeng." Li Xu looked at Hu Yinmeng.
"I still have a lot to learn when it comes to writing scripts." Hu Yinmeng replied flatly.
"You can learn from it," Li Xu smiled, "When I came, I took a look at the copy sent by Lao Xu, and the performances of Qingxia and Huizhong were very eye-catching." As you know, this script evolved from "The True and False Monkey King", and as long as you work hard, so many stories in history can be moved to the present. ”
"That's so easy," Hu Yinmeng couldn't help but mutter, "You explain, naturally there are a lot of screenwriters to help you write the script, and I am only one person." ”
"Really?" Li Xu smiled, looked carefully, and looked at Hu Yinmeng and couldn't help lowering his head.
Well, when the two of them flew last night, they looked at them like this at first.
"Well, give you two years to practice writing, and then I'll give you an idea, and if you can meet my requirements before the fifth draft, I'll let you play the heroine, and if you meet my requirements before the eighth draft, I'll let you play the supporting actress." Li Xu said.
Then he pointed at Zhang Aijia: "You too, two years, practicing the guide, if you can meet my requirements, you will be in charge of this movie, but you can't reach it...... At least be able to shoot an erotic scene. ”
"Erotic play?" Both women had strange looks.
"Don't worry," Li Xu waved his hand, "It's an erotic scene between two women." ”
Hu Yinmeng and Zhang Aijia suddenly rolled their eyes together, revealing a gaze like "sure enough".
"Come on, if you do well, it's very possible to win the Palme d'Or." Li Xu said with a smile.
"Palme d'Or?!" A look of disbelief flashed across the faces of the two women.
Then Isabel's voice came, and deliberately in English: "Do you mean, buy a Palme d'Or?" ”
There was a hint of contempt in his blue eyes, and a hint of annoyance, as if he were ...... Something important was offended.
"Of course, two, I'm not targeting you." She immediately said to Hu Yinmeng and Zhang Aijia, with her chin slightly raised, she looked very arrogant, and she was in control of everything.
Well, I learned the posture of my mother ten times.
Zhang Aijia and Hu Yinmeng just nodded slightly, and didn't say anything, even if they were all Li Xu's women, there was still a gap between them, if Li Xu hadn't pulled them over, they wouldn't have appeared in front of Isabel.
"Why, don't you think I can do it with my strength?" Li Xu raised his eyebrows.
"You're just playing, Edward," Isabel said politely, "you're not sincere about movies at all, you're just making a few movies that aren't too many." ”
Sophie didn't say anything beside her, but her eager expression was clearly approving.
"That's the case with each of my films?" Li Xu showed an interested look.
"It's basically a commercial movie, even the most praised "Memory Fragments", it only uses novel techniques in editing." Isabel continued, "What's more, without the efforts and cooperation of the director and actors, with your approach of not caring about the result, it would not have been possible to have these works now. ”
It seems to be to hit Li Xu's arrogance, Isabel has been using English, and Zhang Aijia and Hu Yinmeng also showed a look of approval
"In other words, you've minimized my own effect?" Li Xu was not annoyed at all, and asked with a smile.
Isabel frowned: "I just think you're exaggerating your role too much, after all, you can buy everything you want with money." ”
"So do you think," Li Xu then lengthened his voice, "You also intentionally or unintentionally suppressed the role of the director and the people behind the scenes?" ”
Without waiting for her to speak, he stretched out his hand and pointed at them: "Frankly speaking, in a movie, in any movie, the actor is the least important. ”
"You!" Isabel's eyes immediately widened, with a hint of anger.
"Don't worry, Isa," Li Xu waved his hand, "That's it, anyway, there are still a few days before the closing of Cannes, let me do some preparations, and if I have time the day after tomorrow, let's have a formal discussion, how about it?" ”
Isabel hesitated, and then saw Li Xu teasing her daughter: "Anna, dad is going to quarrel with mom, who do you think can win?" ”
The blue eyes swirled, and then the little guy clapped his hands: "I win!" ”
This sentence was said with a reasonable attitude, and there was a chuckle immediately, and even Isabel couldn't help it.
"Then the day after tomorrow." She said.
