The Grand Duchess of Valois was a woman over half a hundred years old, but if she did not say her age, no one thought she was only thirty years old.

White and tender with ruddy skin, big watery eyes, high nose bridge, deep contours, and tall figure, typical European and American. If it weren't for the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes when she laughed and betrayed her, I'm afraid no one would associate her with half a hundred years old.

"Mr. Lin." Raising the champagne in her hand, Madame Valois smiled and touched a glass with Lin Xiao, "I really feel honored to have you here." ”

"Where, I feel honored to be a guest at the Grand Duchess's house, and may Madame be as beautiful as an iris forever." Lin Xiao gently took Madame Valois' jade-like hand and kissed it on the other party's ring.

"Mr. Lin, last time at the Paris Fashion Week, I was very amazed by your set of bones, but unfortunately, Ms. Muccia is determined to get it, but next time if you have a good idea, you must remember to come to me first, I will give you a satisfactory price, for money, the Valois family is never stingy." The Grand Duchess smiled, exchanged a few words with Lin Xiao, and left.

Full of glitz, crystal chandeliers, I don't know if the surroundings are painted with gold paint, everywhere is the color of magnificence, a picture of the Virgin Mary on the ceiling, in the reflection of the candles around it comes to life, it can really be said that the sun and the moon are shining on the seat, and the front of the hall is dark and smoky.

Lin Xiao looked at this aristocratic gathering with great interest, and his heart was full of emotion, once upon a time, for this kind of game of opening up contacts, he had only seen it on the news, and scoffed at the real content, but now looking at it, in the whole hall, the soft piano sound fluttered, and the precious Persian carpet could even pass people's ankles when stepped on it, as if walking in the clouds, and the famous wines produced by the five major wineries were drunk casually, compared to what they saw on the Internet, only high and not low.

“MR. LIN。 As soon as he turned around, he saw a black man who was more than 1.85 meters tall, blinking his big double eyelids and smiling at him.

There is almost no one in the world who does not know him, and if it weren't for Star Wars that pioneered Star Wars, his Independence Day would definitely be the first sci-fi war movie in history.

Will. Smith, one of Hollywood's 20 million box office plus dividends, is one of the Club of Ten.

Lin Xiao smiled happily, this person can be described as one of his idols, who said that celebrities can't have idols? Just like him, now I don't know how many male and female artists in China regard him as an idol.

"Good evening, Mr. Will."

"Haha, good evening, but I'm certainly not as good as you, Cannes actor, toast to our first meeting."

Will Smith is just like his image on the screen, humorous and friendly, the two took a sip of wine, and the other laughed and said, "Hey, Mr. Lin, what are you waiting for?" Hollywood has opened its doors and is ready to welcome you, and the reputation of the monster in the United States is not bad, but it is a pity that the Korean company does not have the strength to let the Big Six release, otherwise I am afraid that it will be able to kill a dark horse. Emperor of Cannes, this film should arouse the curiosity of many European and American audiences, come on! Come to the paradise of film and television! ”

Lin Xiao blinked, "Could it be that Mr. Will has a good role for me?" ”

"Nope." Will Smith shrugged his shoulders, "I just heard Director Nolan say that Chinese food is very tasty, much better than Chinatown, so I just want to find a chance to have a meal." ”

The two laughed, and just as they were about to continue, a smiling voice came from behind them, "Did I disturb the two of you?" ”

A Chinese man of about 1.75 meters, bowed slightly politely, about fifty years old, his hair was already a little gray, his lips were mean, his nose was hooked, and his eyes were slightly dim, indicating that this person was old.

Will Smith was very knowledgeable, and left after saying a few words, while the man behind him walked up with a smile, "Connect with the world's top superstars, Mr. Lin is very sorry that I disturbed this opportunity, but I am willing to make corresponding compensation." ”

"It doesn't matter." Lin Xiao turned around and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?" ”

"Qiu Sheng, vice president of Chengdu Pacific." When the old man laughed, his eyes almost narrowed into a line, "Mr. Lin, it's the first time we met." ”

Lin Xiao was smiling on his face, and the alarm bell was already ringing in his heart.

The five major cinema chains, next year at the latest, will definitely have a life-and-death fight with the national film and television circles, and they will be enemies sooner or later.

"I didn't expect Mr. Qiu to be here."

"Hehe, it's also one of China's five major cinema chains, and it's not this time to be invited to Cannes to pan for gold." Qiu Sheng said casually, "Mr. Lin's time is expensive, so I'll save a little time for Mr. Lin, let's make a long story short." Mr. Lin cannes is the emperor, the country is already boiling, and the Pacific Ocean plans to release the Han River monster again for a month, I don't know if Mr. Lin has any ideas for cooperation. ”

"Why don't you look for Zhongying?"

Qiu Sheng laughed, "Mr. Lin, China Film told us that the distribution power of the Hanjiang Monster is in your hands. ”

Every movie, when it wins the highest honor, will basically be turned out and made money again, and those literary films are counting on this second spring life, otherwise the box office of literary films will not even be able to recover half of the investment.

Lin Xiao's eyes flashed with a complicated light, and sitting opposite was not only a Chengdu Pacific, but also one of the members of the Far East Group, or in other words, China's largest and most decadent film aristocratic alliance.

The smell of decay on his body, the pungent desire for money, sat like a snake coiled across from him at the moment.

The two of them had already sat on the chairs, drinking wine quietly, and after saying this, Qiu Sheng no longer spoke, but quietly observed Lin Xiao.

Even if he is not famous, but in the entire Chinese film and television industry, no one dares to ignore him, Pacific Cinema is the overlord of the west, no matter who comes in, he will be bitten to pieces, he doesn't think Lin Xiao will be despised because he heard his name for the first time, this is a stupid behavior.

In fact, it is only when he reaches a certain status that his name can be known.

The flawless platinum ring on the ring finger drew a charming halo in the intoxicating light, and the brilliant emerald in the center reflected the soul-soothing glow, and he stretched out his hand to pour a third glass of champagne before hearing Lin Xiao's words.

"By the 43% vs. 57%?"

Qiu Sheng smiled, "Of course." ”

"It's too low." Lin Xiao quietly probed: "It's upside down, I can accept it." ”

"Mr. Lin." Qiu Sheng lifted the dandy's tie and smiled, "Greed is one of the seven deadly sins. ”

"So, wouldn't it be better if we didn't sin?"

The two looked at each other, and both smiled knowingly.

That's right, both parties are too greedy.

"Well, 50% to 50%." Qiu Sheng smiled: "How about handing it over to Pacific Cinemas?" As a rule, proposals for private distribution must not be published, otherwise Dawn will compensate the Pacific for ten times the loss. ”

"When you painted these films, I remember that Wanda approached you and privately raised the rate. But Wanda was strangled by several major theaters afterwards, otherwise why do you think he was in such a hurry to join forces with Warner? Privately, we can increase the distribution of the box office for Mr. Lin, not only you, Feng Xiaogang, and Zhang Yimou have this discount, but these terms will not be leaked except for the parties. Those of you who have negotiated with Wanda a few times should be clear. ”

Lin Xiao finally couldn't help but ask, "What about other movies?" ”

Qiu Sheng clasped his hands, blew slightly, and said with a faint smile, "Mr. Lin, everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and doesn't care about the frost on the tiles." ”

Lin Xiao smiled and picked up the wine glass and touched it lightly with the other party.

Qiu Sheng bowed slightly and left satisfied. As soon as he left, Lin Xiao's face turned cold.

No wonder Wang Guohui's character is eager to do this immediately, and even does not hesitate to tempt him with a super heavyweight contract such as the release of foreign language films, these high-ranking officials in the theater chain have reached a point where they only care about other people's lives and deaths for money!

Lin Xiao is an outlier, he was reborn and thought like this, he fought his way out of the layers of unspoken rules and clear rules, and became the emperor of Cannes, which has the qualifications to make the five major cinema chains pay more attention, so what about the others? It is extremely difficult to attract investment, coupled with the cinema chain, the layers of distribution are stripped down, and the investment and production can't make much money at all, and the less you earn, the more you dare not shoot. The more you dare to shoot, the more you don't have a movie, the more you can only watch the few big names who can get discounts in theaters to support the scene. The production can't live, the distribution can't live, and then the entire film and television industry is a stagnant pool. But the theater chain is not afraid at all, and others still have foreign language films to play.

For a long time, China's film and television will never be able to be used in the world.

Zhang Yimou fell out with the theater at the beginning, the key is not that he didn't get the discount, but that he went to court, which is equivalent to a public discount, which is completely different from giving him a discount in private, for the theater, this kind of precedent must not be opened!

"Whew......" He let out a long breath, looked at the figure of Qiu Sheng and the other knight raising a glass and drinking, and secretly clenched his fist.

The party is very lively, from time to time someone will toast him and invite him to drink, such as a superstar like Tom Hanks, for the new actor, who can guarantee whether he will be a new Hollywood star in the future? What are you waiting for not dating when others aren't really famous?

Lin Xiao was basically perfunctory, and Qiu Sheng's appearance made his heart no longer calm.

It is not difficult to feel the superiority in the bones of Hollywood artists, and he is eager to carry out a major change in China's film and television industry, so that the spring of the film and television industry will really come.

All this is built on the red cliff, and in China, the construction of this giant ship is already in full swing.

The next day, he booked a plane for the evening almost without thinking about it. Cannes has no intention of planting willows in the willows, he doesn't want to stay longer for a moment, there are more important things waiting for him to do in the country.

I'm sorry for the past two days, these few are free,
