"We memorized every line of "Red Detachment of Women"." Han Sanpin's face looked very excited under the light, and he smiled and recalled the past time, and then looked at the fans on the street, a couple who quarreled, all using the lines in "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", and shook his head with a smile: "Now is the era of your young people." ”

"No, it's the age of filmmakers." Li Xiaole smiled and raised his beer glass happily.

"That's a good point~" Han Sanpin and Father Li glanced at each other, and they were all happy, Han Sanpin didn't know how long he hadn't been so happy, he only felt that the heavy shackles he had been carrying on his body before were gone.

Under the night sky, at the noisy dinner table, a CEO who went to the countryside after the Cultural Revolution and became the CEO of China's largest film company from the grassroots level, an ordinary worker who had a dream of a film but could only sit in the factory and work boringly and repeatedly, and a martial arts stand-in in the film and television industry who experienced countless failures and finally became a director, different three people with the same dream, sitting together and enjoying a peaceful time.

Although the identity is different, the age is different, but the hot feelings in their hearts are the same, dreams, is looking forward to doing those unattainable things, at the beginning will always be ridiculed, failure, but one day, people will understand, these are not important, the important thing is that we have this unattainable dream, and then with enthusiasm to do, full of enthusiasm to live, this is the meaning of the dream, and not about whether the dream itself can be completed.

Two weeks later, after the coordination of all parties, under the premise that Han Sanpin decided to take over as chairman of China Film Group at the end of the year, Li Xiaole went through a simple interview process and officially assumed the position of director of the second studio, the 21-year-old director of the studio, which is unique in the history of Chinese film, but what makes people feel unbelievable is that there is almost no opposition within the group, and it can even be described as the return of the people.

But Director Li promoted Director Li Xiaole, who did not have time to enjoy the pleasure of this great increase in power, but had to deal with more and more miscellaneous affairs, such as personnel transfers, project arrangements, and even he had to write a five-year Jihua book for the second production, but fortunately, after becoming the director, it was not all a headache for him, and he was able to access more comprehensive information about the film.

When he looked through the information, he found that the number of screens in China has increased beyond his expectations, and the eight major theaters in China have accelerated the construction of the number of theaters, and many theaters that were originally completed at the end of the year have been newly built in the near future, and more theaters are also under construction.

At present, the number of screens has increased from 2437 to 2730, this explosive growth was originally something that made Li Xiaole happy, but he was a little unhappy, because his titular subordinate Jiang Wen's movie "The Sun Also Rises" has finally completed the post-editing and is about to be officially released.

Of course, he hopes that Jiang Wen's movie can succeed, but he also hopes that the box office will fail, or his "Let the Bullets Fly" will be yellow, the film market is mature, and he can finally finance and share the spoils by himself, Li Xiaole can finally shoot "Let the Bullets Fly", which he has been dreaming of for a long time.

And just when he was the initial plan of Jihua's "Let the Bullets Fly", the annual festival of all shijie filmmakers was about to open, and on May 15, the Cannes Film Festival was about to open.

And "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb" was also sent to the jury by China Film Company, and under Li Xiaole's complete hopelessness, he was unexpectedly finally selected for the qualification of the competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival, although everyone generally thinks that the film has little chance of winning the award, but it is also quite exciting to be qualified to be screened at Shijie's highest film festival.

On the other hand, the Cannes Film Festival is also the world's largest film trading market, and Han Sanpin's meaning is also to let Li Xiaole take "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" to Cannes to try his luck and see if he can open up more overseas markets.

Under such circumstances, Li Xiaole also reluctantly got a chance to relax, and on Monday, he took Sun Li, Zhang Guorong, Lei Ting and several staff members to fly to the beautiful southern town of Cannes in France.

As soon as he got off the plane, he was invited by the organizing committee to the Barijermátice Hotel on La Croixette Boulevard, and when the white staff entered the hotel gate to check in, Li Xiaole saw the stars dressed in haute couture and ready to walk to the Festival Palace in a few days.

In just ten minutes of checking in at the hotel service desk, Li Xiaole saw the great American actor Tom Hanks in a black suit, chatting and laughing with the radiant actress Sharon Stone in a red dress.

Next to Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, Hollywood's golden boys and girls, are looking for their luggage in the midst of a bickering.

Looking up again and seeing Sean Pan walking on the huge circular escalator, preparing to go to his room, Li Xiaole felt that he was a little dazed, looking at Zhang Guorong, Lei Ting, and Sun Li beside him, but his face was calm.

"Eh, aren't you nervous?" Li Xiaole tugged on Sun Li's sleeve, Lei Ting and Zhang Guorong forget it, are you Sun Li better than me in terms of quality, and you don't have this little excitement when you see these Hollywood actors? These are the top actors on shijie.

"......" Sun Li was silent, looked back at Li Xiaole suddenly, and only after a long time did she widen her eyes and react: "Where is this?" Why am I here, oh my God~ Is that foreigner Brad Pitt? ”

Hearing this, not only Li Xiaole laughed dumbly, but even Zhang Guorong and Lei Ting couldn't help laughing, it turned out that Sun Li was not calm, but stupid.

After everyone entered their hotel room under the leadership of the hotel waiter, Li Xiaole finally felt that he had found the organization, almost all the rooms on the 3rd floor of the hotel were Chinese areas, Zhang Yimou's "Ambush on All Sides" crew, as well as Wang Jiawei's "2046" crew, and one of the judges, Hong Kong director Xu Ke, all lived on this floor.

Li Xiaole was just about to leave to visit Zhang Yimou, when there was a knock on the door, and it turned out to be Liu Dehua, who had a relationship in Hong Kong, and the handsome guy Jin Chengwu behind him.

"Hello, Director Li, I heard that you are here, let's say hello."

"Hello, Brother Hua." Li Xiaole was a little surprised, big names like Liu Dehua took the initiative to greet him?

But what Li Xiaole didn't expect was still to come, this morning, this kind of strange thing happened not only once, but many times, Zhang Ziyi, Yang Ziqiong, and Liang Chaowei all took the initiative to come to greet him, and talked about it, Zhang Ziyi even sat in his room for a while, chatting for almost half an hour before leaving.

Now Li Xiaole's status in the minds of Chinese actors has exceeded his own expectations, looking at the beautiful scenery of France outside the window, his mood at this moment feels very amazing, in short, it feels very unreal.

And this magical journey has just begun, as the Barijel Majestik Hotel is built along the coast and has a picturesque beach behind it, where all the stars of the festival will enjoy a relaxing moment.

Nowadays, there are three major international film festivals in Shijie, which are held in Berlin, Venice and Cannes, but only Cannes can attract the most stars and directors, and the most important thing is because of the picturesque beauty of Cannes, a beautiful "Côte d'Azur" with the Mediterranean.

This laid-back atmosphere in the south of France enchants everyone.

After getting up in the morning, affected by the lazy atmosphere of the French town, Li Xiaole also wore big shorts with a relaxed mood, walked to the beach to find a place to bask in the sun, and looked at the whole beach with beautiful women and handsome guys, as if entering a fairy tale shijie, looking forward, the British elf prince Orlando Bloom, who was shirtless and wearing a pair of big pants, was playing beach volleyball with the blonde actress Cameron Diaz in a bikini.

While Xiangyou looked, in the bright sunshine, the French goddess Sophie Marceau and Fujiwara Norika, Maggie Cheung wore sunglasses, lying on the white beach sunbathing, and not far away Angelina Jolie squatted with a few white children laughing and laughing sand sculptures.

In the distance, South Korean actor Choi Min-sik was lying awkwardly on a surfboard and was knocked over by a wave, triggering laughter from his companions.

But the fresh impact of this scene in front of Li Xiaole did not last long, and he soon integrated into this wonderful environment of the blue sea and tall verdant palm trees.

walked to the side of the commissary, took a piece of fried lobster millet from the hand of a French beauty clerk who was a head taller than him, and lay on a recliner facing the bright sea breeze and sunshine, enjoying the delicious lobster meat, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is fucking life, and the feeling of not having to think about anything in such a daze is also quite haode.

However, lying on the beach chair, in such a comfortable state, his mind still automatically generated all kinds of jihua about making "Bullets Fly".

His current worry is how to improve the quality of "Let the Bullets Fly", this movie is probably the most romantic and the most negative legend of all types of films in the mainland, the plot line setting has almost reached a perfect level, and the production is also excellent, the temperament of this film is Jiang Wen's domineering, hearty, and freehand.

If you want to talk about the problem, in Li Xiaole's opinion, I am afraid that there are two obvious problems, the first is the only female character in it, the county magistrate's wife played by Liu Jialin seems too mature, the county magistrate marries a little wife or a kiln sister, how can he marry a young and beautiful woman, it is unreasonable to take a star in his 40s.
