"I heard from someone I knew well, and she told me that Gaumont Film Company had said hello to other companies and hoped they wouldn't use me." Sophie. Marceau said with a sad face.

Gaumon Films, a giant of the French film industry, was founded in July 1895, five months before the official birth of cinema. Since its founding, Gaumon Film has been the most important production and distribution company in France, and it also has its own cinema chain.

So a giant company with a long history and strong connections wants to ban Sophie. Marceau's newcomer couldn't be easier.

Especially Sophie. Marceau's last movie "Wild Love" failed at the box office and word of mouth, even if she was still interested in her, she was not afraid of offending Gaumont's film company, and now she is also on the fence.

"They are really domineering, you have already terminated the contract with them, why do they still do this?" Zeng Huaqian was also indignant.

"Probably they want to use me to establish their authority, but not many people dared to resist them before." Sophie. Marceau sighed.

"Is it a good example to kill chickens and monkeys?" Zeng Huaqian nodded, "Okay, don't be sad, wait for Ah Jin to come back, let him help you think of a way." Ah Jin has the most ghost ideas, and nothing can be difficult for him. ”

"Really?" Sophie. Marceau's eyes lit up, as if a drowning man had seen a lifebuoy.

"Yes." Zeng Huaqian nodded vigorously, she had a hundred confidence in Han Jin.

……

"It's not going to be easy." After the performance ended, after Han Jin returned, he listened to Zeng Huaqian's relay, but he couldn't help frowning.

Zeng Huaqian suddenly felt a little embarrassed, he had just said too much, and he thought that Han Jin would solve it without much effort. I didn't expect him to feel stunned.

"Ah Jin, help me think of a way, you don't want to see Sophie unlucky." She shook Han Jin's arm and said.

Sophie. Marceau also looked at Han Jin expectantly.

"Don't worry, let me feel the situation first." Han Jin waved his hand, and then asked Sophie. Marceau asked a few questions.

"There are several important film companies in France; There are several more important cinema chains, which companies are in the hands of; What are the characters in the film industry who are highly respected. You can do things without looking at the film company......"

After asking this series of questions, Han Jin has some understanding of the French film industry, although it is not detailed, but it is basically enough.

The French film companies, the most important of which are the three, Gaumont, Baidai and Wanguo, all have both production and distribution, and all have their own cinema chains.

Although French cinema originated earlier, it was even more developed than American Hollywood in the early days. But in recent years, it has been very lonely. The public's interest in watching movies is not high, with an average of 2.8 movies per person per year, which is far less than that of Hong Kong. Hong Kong people watch movies 32 million times a year, with an average of five movies per person a year.

The contraction of the market has led French film companies to take a relatively cautious approach to investment. In terms of subject matter, action movies and science fiction films with large investments are easily missing, while low-cost literary films, comedies, and erotic films are popular.

The decrease in investment is reflected in the selection of actors, that is, actors who fail at the box office generally dare not use them again. Like Sophie. Marceau's last movie lost both box office and word-of-mouth. made the film company lose confidence in her.

Therefore, if you want to solve her troubles, you have to provide her with another chance. Let her make a blockbuster movie, Salted Fish Turnover. But the point is that no one wants to give her another chance, so she is stuck here and unable to move.

However, this is difficult for Han Jin, and he creates opportunities without a chance. In order to win the corner, those coal bosses also invested hundreds of millions of dollars to make blockbusters and arranged their lovers to be the protagonists. Now for Sophie. Marceau, of course, it's worth investing in filmmaking.

I'm looking for a company. I heard Zeng Huaqian suggest, "Ah Jin, if you have come up with an idea, why don't you go and help Sophie intercede." ”

Han Jin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. "Who am I going to intercede, I don't know anyone in France."

"Then why don't you take Sophie back to Hong Kong, we have our own film company, and we can feed thousands of people, is there still Sophie alone?" Zeng Huaqian smiled again, "Besides, when making movies in Hong Kong now, don't they all like to invite foreign aid, Sophie is so beautiful, she must be very popular in Hong Kong." ”

Sophie. Marceau was also quite moved when she heard her say this.

She knows that Hong Kong films are also very developed, and every year at the Cannes Film Festival, Hong Kong film companies come to participate in the exhibition, and it is said that the reputation is still very good.

And she just wants to film now, just want to have a good time, as long as someone is willing to invite her, as for whether the filming location is in Hong Kong or Papua. New Guinea, no difference at all.

Han Jin waved his hand, "This method is even more useless." Hong Kong movies invite foreign aid, and they are generally able to fight well, like Kurata Yasuaki, Luo Flo, and Binny. Yuquidez and the like, this kind of movie is an action movie, the investment is relatively large, and foreign aid can also be afforded. But Sophie can't fight, even if it's just for show, she has to practice for a few months before she can endure that kind of hardship. ”

"Besides, they usually play supporting roles, or even villains, and let Sophie play that kind of role, isn't that a tyrannical thing." Han Jin continued.

In fact, he did not say one of the most important reasons, and that is that the company already has Catherine. Zeta Jones, all the plays that need foreign beauties, sending her alone is almost enough. Another Sophie. Marceau, that's really a mountain with no room for two tigers.

Zeng Huaqian listened to his analysis and nodded, knowing that he was thinking too naïvely.

Sophie. Seeing Han Jin shaking his head, Marceau couldn't help but feel very disappointed knowing that people didn't fancy him.

"Forget it, I'll look for a chance tomorrow." She stood up and said.

"Don't, don't, you wait, Ah Jin will have a way." Zeng Huaqian hurriedly grabbed her and said, and then kicked Han Jin, "You have an idea, don't you always brag about your strength." ”

"Losers~" Han Jin scolded with a smile, "Okay, you don't have to think too much about this matter, it's just a trivial matter." ”

"Really?! Do you have an idea? Zeng Huaqian heard him say this, and hurriedly asked in surprise.

Han Jin nodded.

"I hate it, if you have an idea, don't say it sooner, and become anxious." Zeng Huaqian said angrily, and then turned to Sophie. Marceau smiled, "Well, I'll just say that Ah Jin must have a way." ”

Sophie. Marceau's eyes also lit up, "Han, do you really have a way?" ”

"Don't worry, the mountain people have their own tricks." Han Jin said confidently. (To be continued......)
