Chapter 43: Arrival in Cannes
The plane was flying in the sky, and Han Ziguang began to bow his head and draw comics.
"Hey! Boss! Your manga is really good, I especially like Saint Seiya, it's amazing. Lu Falan rarely spent time alone with Han Ziguang, so he naturally wanted to get closer, and said with a smile: "I especially like Zilong, Lushan Shenglongba!" It's so handsome! ”
"Really? Lu Falan, what do you think are the chances of us winning the prize this time? Han Ziguang asked with a disapproving smile.
"Boss! To be honest, I don't study much about film, but I don't think it's very likely. Lu Falan shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.
"I think so. Why do you think so? Han Ziguang looked at Lu Falan and continued to ask.
"Boss! Are you testing me? Lu Falan smiled and said: "Boss, your script is really good, but European international film festivals have always been biased towards art films, but boss, yours is a funny film, it is already very good to be shortlisted, and it is impossible to win an award." ”
Lu Falan glanced at Han Ziguang and didn't seem to be angry, and listened with relish, and didn't continue: "What's more, this time the boss just took me and a copy of the volume, to be honest, there is no expectation of winning the award at all!" ”
"Alright! You're right, I went to Cannes this time to get to know some international directors and actors, and maybe there is also the possibility of cooperation. Han Ziguang glanced at Lu Falan, and had to say that this crooked nut was really very devastating, worthy of being a talent recruited by He Chaoqiong, and worthy of the price of the annual salary of three million Hong Kong dollars, and said with a smile: "Lu Falan, this matter must be handed over to you, after all, my foreign language is really not comparable to yours." ”
Han Ziguang said this, but also to give himself a long face, whether he was in his previous life or in this life, there is only one word to describe in English, that is, rotten. The main reason why Han Ziguang brought Lu Falan this time was to allow himself to broaden the distribution channels, and at the same time, to let Lu Falan serve as the translator, and if he could take this opportunity to make "Night. The Shop" could not be better if it sold at a good price at the Cannes International Film Festival.
The plane slowly landed on such a romantic capital as France, Lu Falan seemed very adaptable, but Han Ziguang felt very uncomfortable, unlike Xiangjiang, this is not a yellow-haired and black-eyed person, but a blond and blue-eyed person on the street.
"Hey! Boss! You see, it was supposed to be the Cannes Film Festival staff who came to pick us up. Lu Falan pointed to a person who picked up the airport and couldn't help but shout.
"Oh!? All right! Han Ziguang looked at it and couldn't help but look at it curiously, nodded and said, "Let's go over and have a look!" ”
Han Ziguang and Lu Falan came to the person who picked up the airport together, of course, the communication was completely discussed by Lu Falan, and he was looking at the surrounding scenery, and at this time it was May 2nd, filmmakers from all over the world gathered in Cannes, after all, May 7th is the official start of the Cannes International Film Festival.
This time is a grand event for filmmakers, countless people want to take advantage of this opportunity, and countless people want to be appreciated by some people, and Han Ziguang is still very surprised to appear here as an Asian, especially knowing that he is a young man who has been shortlisted for the Best Screenplay Award, he is even more surprised.
Most importantly, Night. The movie "Shop", with an investment of 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to more than 30,000 US dollars, is simply too low to be lower, but it was favored by the jury of the Cannes International Film Festival, which is a very surprising thing.
Han Ziguang is also quite emotional, investing in "Night. Who would have thought that he would come to Cannes with $80 million? It's just that although the investment in the nightclub is very small, the picture is very exquisite, after all, the scene is very small, the actors' remuneration is low, and the natural cost is not much.
"Hey! Boss! France is really a great place, you look at those beautiful women, it's really beautiful. Lu Falan looked at those beauties and said inappropriately.
Han Ziguang rolled his eyes at this, Lu Falan is a Canadian citizen, works in Xiangjiang, has the kind of open personality of crooked nuts, and works strictly and seriously, but in the time outside of work, he is simply a big playboy who has no integrity.
In fact, Han Ziguang doesn't hate Lu Falan's character of separating work from private, although it is said that if you are not crazy, you can't live, but people must also know how to enjoy it, after all, the body is the capital of the revolution, otherwise no matter how much money you make, it is unnecessary to collapse the body.
"Lu Falan, on the premise that you want to play, I have to say, you have to do your job well and then think about other things." Han Ziguang assigned a task to Lu Falan this time, after all, Lu Falan, as the CEO of the distribution company and the theater chain, must do his job well.
"Boss! Don't worry! Lu Falan couldn't help but smile and said: "I have never felt that I am so suitable for a job, I will definitely not let you down." ”
"Of course! I believe that one day we will surprise the world. Han Ziguang smiled slightly: "But now your task is to sell our films, such as this "Night. If the shop is sold, I will give you a 5% profit dividend. ”
Han Ziguang said that the profit dividend of 5% is naturally the profit of the theater chain and the entertainment company after half of the split, but if it is sold at a good price, 5% is a lot, after all, the money earned here is US dollars, and 10,000 US dollars is 60,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Lu Falan usually seems to be not serious, but he is absolutely unambiguous in doing things, his work experience, let him see people is also very accurate, he is currently the executive president of a company, although it is only a company in Xiangjiang, but it is very promising, and he also believes that Han Ziguang can create brilliance, which is also the reason why he is willing to leave Hutchison Whampoa and join Han Ziguang's company.
The car moved forward slowly, and while Han Ziguang was enjoying the scenery along the way, he was watching Lu Falan chatting with the staff in Cannes, he could barely understand a little, so now he can only learn about the situation from Lu Falan later. And I have to say that Lu Farlan is indeed powerful, no matter who he is with, he can quickly become good friends, and even talk about everything, which is also an enviable ability.
The staff arranged for Han Ziguang and Lu Falan to stay in a hotel, because he only came with two people, to be honest, it is still very rare, after all, no matter which crew is shortlisted, basically I can't wait for everyone to come and get wet.
In fact, it is exactly like this, but now that filming has begun between various crews, Han Ziguang rejected Guan Zhilin's request, after all, there is no male protagonist or heroine at all this time, and he is acting as a "Night. The screenwriter of "Shop" came to Cannes.
