Lin Youlun said this to Gong Li, purely to say the troubles in his heart, and he didn't expect Gong Li to give any ideas for help.

Before getting out of the car, Gong Li suddenly said to Lin Youlun that she had a way to help Lin Youlun solve the trouble, but in exchange, Lin Youlun wanted to help her deal with this group of reporters.

Gong Li's English level is enough to even give an acceptance speech, let alone be interviewed by reporters, even if Gong Li doesn't make such a request, Lin Youlun can't leave her alone to deal with these reporters.

As soon as the two got out of the car, the reporters immediately surrounded them, and Lin Youlun hurriedly explained loudly to the reporters in English: "Don't worry, everyone, we are about to negotiate with the hotel to arrange a conference room for everyone's interview, please wait for a while, okay?" ”

pulled Gong Li out of the crowd, and then walked to the front of the service desk, and a waitress standing inside poked her head out and asked, "I'm sorry, may I ask if you are Mr. Lin Youlun from room 6011?" In half an hour, a lot of phone calls came in to find Mr. Lin, ......," she said, handing over a blank piece of paper full of phone numbers. After the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival, the results of the award spread as quickly as possible, Lin Youlun and they left the venue directly by car, and did not return to the hotel directly after coming out, but asked the driver to drive around Cannes City, and came back so late.

The hotel service desk didn't know what was going on in the road, and so many reporters came to the hotel, which soon alarmed the hotel manager. After just coming over to understand the situation. He said apologetically to Lin Youlun, "Mr. Lin." Please allow me to apologize for the hotel's previous negligence, and we are willing to provide you with the best meeting room to use free of charge. "Knowing that the winner of the Palme d'Or and Best Actress at this year's Cannes Film Festival was standing in front of him, the hotel manager immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime promotional opportunity, and if he didn't know how to take advantage of it, then he wouldn't have to be the manager." From now on, the two of you are the most distinguished guests of our hotel, and we will do our best to satisfy them with any need; If Mr. Lin agrees. We can now help you arrange a venue for your interview. ”

The film festival is an annual event in Cannes and an important means of stimulating the local tourism economy, from which the hotel industry is the most profitable, but also the most competitive, each year each hotel launches a variety of activities to attract tourists, and the hotels where the festival winners have stayed in the past will use it as a sign to attract tourists.

This year, the Chinese-language film "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" has sprung up, winning both the Palme d'Or and the Best Actress award for the first time in history. It saved Lin Youlun the trouble of negotiating, and he nodded in agreement. He smiled and said to the manager, "Then I'll trouble you." ”

"It's our pleasure!" The hotel manager immediately instructed someone to set up the interview scene, and at the same time did not forget to arrange for someone to hang a welcome banner at the door of the hotel, for fear that others would not know that the winner of the Palme d'Or and the Best Actress award at this year's Cannes Film Festival was staying in their hotel.

——

According to the previous itinerary, Lin Youlun and Gong Li will leave for Hong Kong the day after the end of the film festival, leaving few opportunities for media interviews, so this press conference is also very long, which lasts almost until midnight.

After coming out of the conference room, Lin Youlun and Gong Li were already exhausted, and they returned to their rooms after getting out of the elevator, and naturally they didn't mention the incident that they had said in the car before.

The news of the award for "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" was transmitted back to China, which is also a major international news, and the relevant departments can still sit still after receiving the news? In this era, winning an award overseas can be regarded as winning glory for the country, let alone a highly influential film event like the Cannes Film Festival, but "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" cannot be released in China now, and Lin Youlun will certainly not take the initiative to contact the mainland officials.

The most stressful is of course Guang. In the telecommunications department, they never thought that a banned film would be such a huge success overseas, and many leaders of the central government called to inquire about it, making them very passive.

Wide. The State Administration of Electricity urgently contacted Xie Jin, who was the director of the film, but he returned to China early because of the illness of his young son and did not attend the closing ceremony, and of course he did not know the news that the film won the award. At the end of the 80s, the telephone was still a luxury for ordinary families, and international calls were far less convenient than in later generations.

Fortunately, Xie Jin had just returned from France, and he had the contact information of Lin Youlun and Gong Li's hotel. The Chinese News Agency correspondent in France got in touch with Lin Youlun and arranged to conduct an exclusive interview with them the next morning, just before they boarded the plane and returned to Hong Kong.

"The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" has caused a lot of controversy in China. The Chinese news agency reporter in France also knows this, so when interviewing Lin Youlun and Gong Li in the airport café, the focus has always been on Lin Youlun, but Gong Li, the new actress, was deliberately ignored by them.

On the plane, Lin Youlun and Gong Li talked about the interview just now, "They are worried about domestic public opinion, so they don't dare to ask you questions, but "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" is an exhibition in the name of Hong Kong films. ”

"Do you want me to go back?" Gong Li suddenly asked.

"It's up to you." Lin Youlun shrugged, "With the title of Cannes actress, your development in Hong Kong will not be as difficult as before, of course, even if you stay in Hong Kong, I suggest that you do not cut off contact with the mainland." No matter how prosperous Hong Kong is, after all, it is only a city, and if you want to achieve greater international development in the future, it will be more advantageous to rely on the mainland! ”

Gong Li's bright eyes looked at Lin Youlun, in fact, since winning the award, she has been hesitant to return to the mainland, Lin Youlun's words finally made her determined to stay in Hong Kong to develop, but she will also consider cooperating with mainland directors if she has the opportunity.

After the same thing, Gong Li's mood suddenly relaxed a lot, and then she remembered what she promised to help Lin Youlun come up with ideas yesterday.

"Do you really have a way?" If it weren't for Gong Li's reminder, Lin Youlun would have forgotten about it.

"It's just an idea, not necessarily useful." Gong Li was a little embarrassed by Lin Youlun, and whispered in defense.

Lin Youlun became interested, so he encouraged Gong Li to continue with his eyes.

"I don't think the solution to this matter is Xu Ke, even if you force him to apologize to Director Hu, can Director Hu really restore his reputation? Director Hu quit halfway, according to what you said, it is estimated that there are not a few shots left in the movie "Smiling Proud Jianghu" that are really shot according to his ideas, if the box office is not satisfactory after the release, it will be forgotten, if the box office is okay, isn't Xu Ke's apology slapping Director Hu's face? ”

Lin Youlun had never thought about it in this regard, and when she heard Gong Li say this, this is indeed the truth. Although the movie "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is 2 years earlier than he remembers, the director and actors have not changed, and even Xu Ke and Hu Jinquan turned their faces the same as later generations. Lin Youlun remembered that the box office of this film was good, otherwise Xu Ke would not have started filming a sequel.

"Smiling Proud Jianghu" has a good box office, which is equivalent to telling everyone that Xu Ke's original approach of squeezing Hu Jinquan away was correct, even if Xu Ke apologized to Hu Jinquan before this, the final result will only make Hu Jinquan even more embarrassed.

Lin Youlun couldn't help but get up, and asked Gong Li a little eagerly: "Xu Kedao apologizes, don't you think, is there any way to make Director Hu retain his dignity?" ”

Gong Li said proudly: "Of course, where you fall, you will get up from there." ”

Lin Youlun pinched his chin, he seemed to have seen the way things were decided perfectly, and asked more eagerly, "What good ideas do you have?" ”

Gong Li had already learned from Lin Youlun that Hu Jinquan has the ability to make good movies, but he can't make money-making movies, these words have actually exposed Hu Jinquan's biggest shortcomings, in order to stick to creation, Hu Jinquan often ignores the market, the production cost is out of control, and the result of the long shooting time is that the investment is indefinite, and he doesn't know how to appease the boss's emotions, so that no one is willing to invest in him to make a film. Now if Lin Youlun can help him make a popular and popular movie, not only can he earn back the face he lost from Xu Ke, but his situation can also be greatly improved.

When Lin Youlun heard Gong Li's suggestion, he couldn't help but be shocked: Hu Jinquan has no lack of ability, if he is born a few decades later, he can make films in the mainland, or he has foreign financial support, his achievements should be more than that. You can help Hu Jin for a while, but you can't help him for a lifetime, in the final analysis, it's still a sentence, the fame is given by everyone, but the face has to be earned by yourself!

Thinking of this, Lin Youlun couldn't sit still anymore, he excitedly grabbed Gong Li's hand and hurriedly kissed the back of her hand, ignoring Gong Li's shy and angry eyes, Ha Luha smiled and said: "It seems that I brought you to Hong Kong is really a very correct choice, you have helped me a lot this time!" ”

Hu Jinquan is best at martial arts films, and if you want to help him regain his popularity, he can only start with martial arts films.
