Chapter 714: One Night in Paris [Three Watches]
"There are two Chinese in the Cannes jury this time, and the only Chinese film shortlisted for the main competition unit is the one starring Jiang Wen "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", in addition to the location, the time, people and people are available, it can be said that the hope of winning the award is very large, but the key is what award to win!"
Xie Jin put down the teacup, looked at Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqin, and said with a serious expression: "The Palme d'Or and the best actor, you can only choose one, and the choice is not up to me, nor you, the key is to see what Mr. Lin thinks." ”
The meaning of Xie Jin's words, Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqin can understand it, Xie Jin is okay to say, but the vote in Gong Li's hand will definitely vote for one of the awards according to Lin Youlun's intentions, the key is that the situation of "This Killer is Not Too Cold" winning this time is so good, no one dares to guarantee that Lin Youlun will not sacrifice Jiang Wen and go all out to hit the top award.
"I think that Mr. Lin may choose to give up the top prize and then fulfill Jiang Wen!"
Xie Jin's words made Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqin, who were a little unhappy, see hope again.
"If you look at this matter from Mr. Lin's point of view, you will find that "This Killer is Not Too Cold" won the Palme d'Or, but it was not as valuable as Jiang Wen winning the Best Actor Award. You think, Mr. Lin is not an ordinary film investor, he is the chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards and the organizer of the Hong Kong International Film Festival, a Palme d'Or trophy really doesn't mean much to him, and "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" has already won the Palme d'Or once, and another one will definitely not be as valuable as the first one for him. And if you give up the Palme d'Or, it seems a little unworthy on the surface, but if Jiang Wen can win the best actor. That is China's first Cannes actor. Mr. Lin after helping Gong Li become the queen of Cannes. brought out another Cannes actor, which is even more glorious for him. ”
——
Paris, France.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel's restaurant is the brightly lit Eiffel Tower, with melodious violin music wafting in her ears and red wine in a goblet, reflecting Gong Li's slightly misty eyes.
"Why do you want me to meet in Paris?"
"Don't you think that the city of Paris has a romantic atmosphere in its bones?" Lin Youlun picked up the goblet in front of him, and looked through the transparent wine glass as he drank. glanced at Gong Li.
Today, Gong Li wore a green lace V-neck long-sleeved silk shirt, a pair of proud twin peaks looming under the neckline, and a simple decorative wide belt around the waist.
Gong Li noticed that Lin Youlun's gaze stayed on her chest for a while, and glared at him angrily.
"I really can't believe what a man says, I obviously want to ask someone for something, but I made up such an excuse, you really think I am a little girl, and I can be coaxed by you in a few words?"
Lin Youlun took his gaze back. He put down his glass and said, "It's a bit of a shame to discuss something else on such a romantic occasion. ”
"Who came here with you for a romance?" Gong Li replied with some embarrassment, "If you don't say it." Then I'll go! ”
As soon as Lin Youlun raised his hand, the waiter who was waiting on the side immediately stepped forward and helped the two of them refill the wine glasses.
As soon as the people left, Gong Li immediately said, "Enough, I've already drunk a lot today!" ”
Lin Youlun picked up the wine glass and took a sip of it himself.
"It's good to be drunk, and if you're drunk, you won't have troubles!"
Gong Li's eyes stared at Lin Youlun, and asked curiously, "How do you know that I have troubles?" ”
"You have all your emotions written on your eyes, I don't think it's even difficult to do it!"
"Guess what, I'm bothered?" Gong Li shook the wine glass in her hand, "If you guess correctly, I will accompany you to get drunk today!" ”
"Then I'll have to take it seriously." Lin Youlun pinched his chin and thought about it, "Is it that the family is urging you to find a partner to marry again?" ”
Gong Li's mouth closed in surprise, and she looked at Lin Youlun as if she knew him for the first time.
"How did you know the Dao? That's not what I have in my eyes! ”
"Your recent career can be said to be smooth sailing, the only setback may be the Venice Film Festival last year and the Best Actress Award missed, once this problem is eliminated, it can only be a problem in life." Lin Youlun explained.
"No, I mentioned this to Lizhi, did she tell you?" Gong Li asked.
Lin Youlun spread his hands and said: "During this time, I first went to the United States because of the release of "Monster City", and then went to the United Kingdom because of the selection of actors for the new film. ”
"It's not that you don't have time, it's that you need to contact too many women to take care of, right?" Gong Li told the truth in one sentence.
Lin Youlun smiled awkwardly with a cheeky face, "You're not too young, you should almost have to think about this problem!" ”
Gong Li drank the wine in the goblet, "You're still embarrassed to talk about me, aren't you the same?" ”
"Okay, let's change the subject."
Lin Youlun is also most afraid of being asked about marriage, of course, his situation is different from Gong Li, Gong Li has no suitable person and has no choice; And Lin Youlun is too suitable for too many people to choose.
When the waiter came over to pour the wine, Gong Li asked the other party to leave the wine bottle directly, so that it was convenient to pour the wine after drinking.
"You are so good, there must be people around you who are pursuing you, right?"
"Didn't you say a different subject? How did you talk about it again? Gong Li glared at Lin Youlun with some drunkenness in her eyes.
"It's pure curiosity, if you don't want to say it, forget it."
Lin Youlun didn't want to be forced, but Gong Li took the initiative to speak.
"You're really not mistaken, someone did express this to me, but he has a family and a daughter, and I don't want to be a wicked woman who destroys other people's marriages!"
Lin Youlun looked at Gong Li, "I guess that's not the main reason, right?" ”
"For what?"
"I thought if I were the man, I was talking about what if...... I will definitely tell you how unhappy my marriage with my wife is, and I can divorce her for you, but it may be for some reasons in reality, I can't leave immediately, I hope you can wait for me for a while. If you really have feelings for him, you should agree to him, but if you don't do so, it means that you don't have feelings for him. ”
The expression in Gong Li's eyes had changed from surprise to disbelief, "Are you sure you really didn't ask Lizhi about me?" ”
"And did you tell Lizzie about these things?"
Gong Li shook her head.
Lin Youlun shrugged, "You haven't even talked to Lizhi, even if I ask her, it's useless!" ”
Gong Li nodded, and then concluded: "Men really don't have a good thing!" ”
After Gong Li finished speaking, she picked up the wine bottle and poured herself half a glass of wine, but Lin Youlun did not stop it.
"Why, don't you care who that man is?"
Seeing Lin Youlun shaking his head without hesitation, Gong Li laughed out loud.
"I almost forgot, you are the chairman of "Ming Pao", and you can't look down on this kind of gossip news."
Lin Youlun took the wine bottle in Gong Li's hand and added wine to his glass, in fact, he had already guessed who the person Gong Li was talking about, but he didn't want to say it on this occasion.
Gong Li didn't continue to dwell on this topic: "By the way, what is the matter with you asking me to Paris?" ”
"For the Festival de Cannes, one of the films I invested in was shortlisted for the main competition."
Gong Li was very smart and immediately understood what Lin Youlun meant.
"You want me to help you when you vote?"
Lin Youlun nodded, "The most likely is the Best Actor Award and the Palme d'Or, and then I want you to vote for this movie when you are Best Actor." ”
"The Palme d'Or is the highest prize, don't you think it's a pity to give it up?" Gong Li asked a little puzzled.
"That's for others, winning the Palme d'Or is just an honor for me, but if Jiang Wen becomes an actor this time, to put it mildly, I will have one more actor to choose from when shooting some international films in the future, and in the big picture, this will help to enhance the image of the entire Chinese film in the international film industry."
Lin Youlun's answer did not completely solve Gong Li's doubts.
"Won't winning the Palme d'Or be more beneficial to improving the image of Chinese films?"
"No matter how well a movie is made, the influence is not only a few years, but launching an actor is different, he can continue to produce new works and continue to win awards, so in the long run, it is actually more valuable to praise people than to praise movies."
"Marx was right, you capitalists are all about how to squeeze other people's values."
Regarding Gong Li's joke, Lin Youlun just smiled and did not make an evaluation.
"By the way, when "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" was shortlisted that year, if you were faced with the situation like this, what would you choose?" Gong Li then asked.
"Of course, I will still choose you to be the actress."
"For what?"
"Because the benefits of this are obvious now, you will be invited to become a judge of the Cannes Film Festival after you get the Cannes Film Festival, and you will be a judge, and then you can help me push Jiang Wen to that position."
Gong Li glanced at Lin Youlun meaningfully, "It turns out that you have a premeditated plan. ”
Lin Youlun picked up the wine glass, "When we go to Cannes, we can no longer sit together without scruples like now, so I will salute you first for this glass of wine!" ”
"You want to get me drunk?" Gong Li glanced at Lin Youlun with a slightly drunken look, "Tell you secretly, my alcohol consumption is very good, don't be drunk by me after the worst!" (To be continued......)
