Cannes is a tourist destination in the south of France, and in 1957 the highest award in Cannes, the "Golden Duck", was changed to the "Palme d'Or" because the whole city is full of palms. The Cannes Film Festival was founded in 1946 in rebellion against the fascist Venice Film Festival, but was suspended twice due to financial difficulties.

But that's all the gossip history of the early years. Now Cannes is one of the three major film festivals. This is because of the characteristics of Cannes, Venice is too art-oriented, while Berlin takes the ******** route, only Cannes can be regarded as a commercial and artistic compatibility, and naturally it will attract a large number of commercial and art films to participate.

The 67th edition of Cannes has also attracted publishers from all over the world in search of prey that will make them a lot of money. It is undeniable that no matter how literary and artistic the film is, there will always be a certain market, as long as its commercial value can be correctly grasped, it will definitely be profitable.

Hong Kong is a bit far from Cannes, so that the time is a little tight, but Yin Tianyou still rushed to Hong Kong in time by plane and did not miss this grand ceremony.

Long before Yoon Tianwoo left for Cannes, he had already received news from Park Jin-young and lived up to his expectations, "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" was successfully shortlisted for many awards including Best Actor, Best Director, Best Picture and other important awards. It's a pity that because of the outstanding performances of several actresses this year, Ha Ji Won did not get the final nomination for Best Actress.

However, for this regret, Ha Ji Won himself actually doesn't care very much, through the filming of this film. She has confirmed her status among Korean actresses, not to mention that this drama is also the first work directed by Yoon Tianyou. can make him always remember himself and be grateful to himself. This is already her unexpected joy, and whether she can win the award or not has become a very insignificant matter.

Because of this, Ha Ji Won, as the heroine of this play, arrived in Cannes, France early in the morning with the crew, not for anything else, just to have a good time and get together with Yoon Tianyou.

When Yoon Tian-woo arrived in Cannes, Park Jin-young. Ha Ji Won, Ha Jung Woo, and Choi Dong Hoon, they're already waiting for him. As soon as he saw Yoon Tianyou, Park Jin-young immediately danced with his eyebrows and talked endlessly.

Not to mention anything else, just seeing Yoon Tianyou has made Park Zhenying overjoyed, Yin Tianyou has been flying around in Hong Kong and inside for a while, without him in South Korea, Park Zhenying is tired to death. This time I was invited to Cannes. Park Jin-young didn't plan to carry it alone, so he called Yoon Tian-woo early in the morning and asked him to come quickly, according to Park Jin-young's meaning, the joy should be shared together. Of course, the fatigue also has to be borne together.

In short, Yin Tianyou arrived on time. made Park Jinying relaxed, it seems that since he has Yoon Tianyou. Park Jin-young didn't worry about anything anymore, and it has become a habit invisibly. As long as he can't see Yoon Tianwoo when he encounters a major event, Park Jin-young feels unsteady. So seeing that Yin Tianyou finally came on time to be invited, the excitement in his heart was really hard to describe.

In addition to people like Yoon Tianyou, Park Jin-young, Choi Dongxun, Ha Jung-woo, Ha Ji-won and others who were officially invited by Cannes, some other Korean entertainment companies also shamelessly spent their own air tickets to come over, and said: "Watching the game", but in fact, they want to show off in this world-class event. Of course, the limelight is still secondary, like S-M Company, Xiu BOX Company, Xijie Entertainment Company, etc., the most important thing is to participate in the film transaction behind the scenes in Cannes, after all, making money is the last word.

However, for the curious people in South Korea, what they care about is undoubtedly the regular troops led by Yoon Tianyou to fight in Cannes, after all, Korean films have not been invited to Cannes many times, which is definitely a great honor.

Although Korean films are rising in Asia, they are still inferior to Chinese films in the international market, except for the export of a few dramas "Old Boy" and "Empty House", which can be called "Old Boy" and "Empty House", basically Korean films do not have much influence.

Therefore, the appearance of Korean films in Cannes this time is obviously a relatively new thing. So when Yin Tianyou and his entourage appeared, many foreign reporters took pictures with cameras.

As the so-called starry star, Cannes definitely deserves the word. Compared with Cannes, South Korea's Blue Dragon Award is simply a small thing. There are countless foreign filmmakers gathered here, and of course, for the locals, Yin Tianyou is also a foreign filmmaker.

However, for Yin Tianyou, it is possible to see the director of "Mr. Turner", Mike . Lee, and the actor Timothy? Spo, this is a lucky thing. The reason is that Yin Tianyou likes this drama very much, especially Timothy? Spo's performance, in Yin Tianyou's opinion, this big-bellied and simple-looking actor is a bit like Hong Kong actor Zheng Zeshi, especially the "fat cat" expression, which makes him feel even more godlike. But this is not what Yin Tianyou is most concerned about, he is concerned about Timothy? Spo was shortlisted for Best Actor this time, and the demand is very high, and there is a trend of winning it.

In the face of his favorite directors and actors, Yoon Tianyou didn't plan to go up and talk indiscriminately, and now he is more interested in technicians than actors and directors.

The most important thing is that Yin Tianyou didn't plan to go around the Cannes Film Festival all the time in the beginning of this period, so it is better to accompany Ha Ji Won and others to walk around more. So in the next few days, South Korean reporters couldn't find any trace of Yoon Tianwoo and Ha Jiwon.

Of course, Yoon Cheon-woo rented a yacht and took Ha Ji Won, Ha Jung-woo, and Choi Dong-hoon to play, and Park Jin-young, who is the president of JYP, was also quite helpless about this, Yoon Cheon-woo threw everything to him, and it was difficult for him to get out, so he could only complain to Yoon Cheon-woo every night.

However, is Yoon Tianyou really just playing?

No, in fact Wan Tianyou is copying the same way that he expanded his business in Hong Kong, where he bought a yacht with great pride, but here he chartered the yacht and invited the most famous French director, Luc. Besson as his guest of honor.

Speaking of the great director Luc. Besonna is definitely super famous in the European film industry, and his films have always been popular and exciting, such as the "Taxi Express" series. Similar movies make Hollywood movies unmatched. So much so that he was hailed by the media as the Spielberg of France.

However, this time Yin Tianyou invited Luc. Besson didn't do it for small talk, but for his company, Europa Films.

Is Europa Films Luc? Besson founded a French production company with friends in September 2000. The company was founded to produce feature films and distribute them at the same time. Europa was founded with a capital of more than 5 million euros. At present, the office has been moved to the "Cine-City-State", located in Saint-Denis, in the Seine-Saint-Denis department, a northern suburb of Paris.

However, Yoon Tianyou is not interested in the company's geographical location, but because Europa is known for producing high-quality action movies, and is the only film company in European commercial films that can compete with Hollywood.

Unlike Yin Tianyou's foray into Chinese mainland, Yin Tianyou is well aware that foreigners' xenophobia is the most serious. Although France claims to be liberal and democratic, racial discrimination and xenophobia have been rampant in recent years. Especially when it comes to film entertainment. If you want to enter the European market, it is impossible to start a film company here, and even if you really open it, it is estimated that you will not be able to shoot any good films, because there are no resources for you to use.

After thinking about it, Yin Tianyou had the idea of acquiring Obaro, in fact, after Yin Tianyou had this bold idea, he began to manipulate the KING fund to quietly acquire Obarro's shares, and now the shareholding has reached 13%.

"Thirteen". It seems to be a very unlucky number in the West, but it is a lucky number for Yin Tianyou. When Yin Tianyou and Luc Besson officially met and showed their hole cards, he became a strongman in the European film industry. Luc Besson also raised his champagne glass helplessly and said: "You are very good, it seems that you are not here to compete for the grand prize in France this time." Instead, they came to compete with me for the company. ”

Yin Tianyou's answer is also very simple: "I don't dare to fight, I just want to cooperate with you." ”

Luc. Besson smiled. For his part, he did not believe that a young man from Asia could have the strong ability to shake his position. I don't believe that the other party can control his own Obaro company in such a short period of time.

So Luc. Besson said very contemptuously: "Then let me see what real strength you have." ”

Real strength?

Yin Tianyou's understanding of strength is very simple, in a society like the West, where money is evil, money is strength, and money has the right to speak.

Therefore, Yin Tianyou unceremoniously continued to manipulate the fund and launched a brutal conquest of O'Barro.

Since it was Luc. Besson saw through the intention, and if the acquisition could not be successful, then suppress it, suppress it fiercely. smashed it with the money in his hand, even though France has a very complete stock trading system and regulations to prevent vicious takeovers and malicious attacks, it still can't resist Yin Tianyou's pervasive and ubiquitous clutches.

If it was an ordinary person who manipulated the fund, it would be fine, but who is Yin Tianyou, relying on that kind of superhuman ability, quickly suppressed Obaro's stock and made people fall off their teeth.

This time, Luc. Besson had a big head.

Of course, Yin Tianyou knows very well what he wants to do and how far he wants to go. So on the evening of the fifth day, Yin Tianyou finally received good news: he has won enough controlling stake in Obaro and will officially announce the news of Tianyi Media's acquisition of Obaro tomorrow.

Yoon Tianyou couldn't help laughing, hugged Ha Ji Won, who didn't know why, and turned around, and looked at Ha Jung-woo and Choi Dong-hoon beside him dumbfounded.

Yin Tianyou knew that his behavior was a little excessive, so he explained to them: "I have now controlled Obarro, and Tianyi Media's first step into the European market has finally walked away!" ”

"Really?" Ha Ji Won didn't understand what this meant before, but now she clearly understands that this represents Yoon Tianwoo's first step to impact the global film market. This is a very crucial step, and being able to win this company means that the ******** that Yin Tianyou wants to build from now on has become a solid triangular model from South Korea, to China, and then to France.

As for Ha Jung-woo and Choi Dong-hoon, they have a deeper understanding of this, because they are both filmmakers, and they understand better Yoon Tianyou's urgent heart to dominate the world film market.

Facing the joyful Yoon Tianyou, everyone couldn't help but congratulate, when Yoon Tianyou wanted to tell Park Zhenying the news, the door was pushed open, but Park Zhenying broke in inquiringly: "Alas, you have been happy these days, and I am tired and half dead." Then seeing the big guy's strange expression, he said again: "Why, is it not surprising to see me, and I am afraid that I will count you down, so don't leave me alone outside-"

Yoon Cheon-woo and Ha Ji Won looked at each other, and then said to Park Jin-young in unison, "We are developed, President Park." “

"You guys hide and be lazy every day, what's the point?" Park Jin-young is obviously making fun of them: "If you don't tell me a reason, I'll ......be in a hurry with you."

"Today I have officially taken control of the French company Obarro!" Yin Tianyou restrained his smile and said to Park Zhenying with a serious expression: "Brother Zhenying, what do you think about this!" ”

Park Jin-young's head hasn't turned for a while-

"French Obarro?" Park Jin-young muttered and repeated. Suddenly, he understood, and pointed at Yin Tianyou in surprise: "Tianyou, are you planning to ......?"

"That's right, I'm planning to enter the European market!" Yoon Tianyou stared at Park Jin-young with a smile, stood up and came to the window and said slowly: "I want not only Europe, but also North America and the whole world!" ”

Staring at Yoon Tianwoo's back, Park Jin-young really felt that his brain was not enough at this moment. When I first met Yoon Tianyou, he was just an artist who could write a few songs but did not make his debut, and now Yoon Tianyou has not only become the first Chinese-American king in South Korea's history, but also a superstar, screenwriter, director, and producer - with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars.

He sometimes really feels that the world is changing too fast, but in just four or five years, Yin Tianyou has changed and made today's achievements. This made Park Jinying feel unimaginable, but the facts were placed in front of him like this, and he couldn't help but admit that Yoon Tianyou was indeed a genius.

"So......" Yoon Tianyou suddenly turned around and stared at Park Jin-young, and then at Ha Ji Won, Ha Jung-woo and them: "You must help me and help me create a new ******** together." ”

Park Jin-young They look at me, I look at you, the big guy swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and finally said: "Work together!" “

The tone is firm and full of fighting spirit. (To be continued.) )
