Chapter 193: Cannes Film Awards (2)
The lights illuminate Charles de Gaulle Airport as if it were daytime.
It's strange that there are not so many people at Paris Fashion Week, but they involve the basic life of people, and the spiritual film exhibition is crowded.
This is the charm of idols, when Lin Xiao and his party walked out of the airport, the deafening cheers on both sides, the crazy shutter sound, had reflected this place into a sea of white.
"This is China's Dawn Company!" A reporter with a "CCTV" logo on his chest excitedly said to the camera: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Paris, this is Charles de Gaulle Airport, and the 59th Cannes Film Festival will be held in Paris the day after tomorrow!" Lin Xiao, general manager of Dawn Company, led Dawn's team out of the airport. In this Cannes Film Festival, Mr. Lin's monster and Mr. Lou Ye's Summer Palace entered the main competition unit together......"
Not only him, but when every team came out of the airport, they were greeted by crazy flashing lights.
"Mr. Lin." Choi Young-bae walked over with four or five bodyguards on his face smiling separately from the crowd, and Bong Joon-ho stood in the same row as him. I haven't seen him for a long time, and Cui Rongpei seems to be whiter and more tender. And Bong Joon-ho's face was full of pride, a monster of the Han River, and he was completely sent to the altar.
"We've been waiting for a long time. Welcome to Paris. Shaking hands warmly, Cui Rongpei didn't look at the dozens of people behind Lin Xiao, and said as if nothing was there, "The hotel crew has been booked, and I will take Mr. Lin to settle in." ”
The others looked at everything in front of them with hot eyes, but they also understood that there was no place for them to speak, and Cui Rongpei could not help them book a hotel too, but they all booked it themselves in advance.
"The audience in Paris, now there is a monster crew co-produced by China and South Korea, monsters, breaking almost all records in South Korea, and this time it has entered the main competition unit ......"Mortar-like camera, film is like water, and the reporters who broadcast on the scene have explained to the camera.
When he returned to the hotel, the first thing he had to do was to reverse the jet lag, Cui Rongpei understood very well, and did not immediately bother them, so they had a good night's rest.
The next day, at eleven o'clock in the morning Paris time, Lin Xiao just got up and found that the hotel's phone was about to explode with messages.
Flipping through the record, the corners of his mouth quickly curled, without it, there were not many acquaintances on it.
Huayi Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zhonglei invited him to lunch, but it was not one of their companies, Dasheng, Huayi, Guangguang, Western Film, Poly Bona, Huaxia, Chengtian, the top ten film and television companies in addition to the real back. Jing's China Film sent an invitation together, which is equivalent to a mobilization meeting of Chinese film and television companies before the Cannes Film Festival.
No matter how the interests of the country are tilted, but when it comes to foreign countries, it is unanimously affirmed to the outside world, and now there is still a Zhongying here, if there is something ugly to do, Han Sanping is afraid that he will pick their skin on the spot.
followed by the invitation of China Film, and the message sent by Han Sanping's secretary also invited Lin Xiao to lunch.
followed by Zhang Ziyi, who was enthusiastic on the surface but arrogantly left a message, hoping to talk to Lin Xiao for a while.
Lin Xiao sneered, directly deleted the message, and chose to ignore it. Thinking it's great to be a Cannes judge? Last year, the memoir of a geisha who participated in Spielberg was banned by the Ministry of Films, and many Chinese did not even know that she acted in this film, and really thought that walking the red carpet in Cannes was equivalent to walking on the international model.
Which one of the WMAs is not better than him? Heisei Sanji alone regarded her as nothing, and Lin Xiao helped her at the beginning, who would have thought that the first thing this Zhongshan wolf had to do when he was a little famous was not to repay her, but to show off in front of his benefactor, no wonder Zhao Xingyu wanted to turn his face with her in the future, and splashed ink to deceive her to death.
I was not in a good mood, but when I saw the third message, it was cloudy and clear.
It's a message from Prada, just like the big stars at the fashion festival who want to get the attention of the top luxury goods at the fashion festival in order to get free clothes that can never be worn out, or sky-high endorsements. The festival also gathers countless big names in the fashion industry, looking for the Hamlet in their hearts.
For the rest, some foreign film companies, as well as some small companies and newcomers who volunteered to know the name of Dawn somehow, planned to promote their own films, and he chose to ignore them.
After thinking about it, I decided to meet with the representative of China Film first, Han Sanping's face will be given, and the other party will be a powerful boss next year, and if the favor is not sold now, it will be too late to sell it in the future. In the afternoon, I met with the top ten film and television companies, and in the evening, I made an appointment with Prada's messenger.
The idea is certain, immediately let the makeup artist of his team come over to help him put on the makeup, it is now half past eleven, I am afraid that others are tired of waiting for his reply, how busy is Cannes? Everyone is waiting to go to the out-of-town market to pan for gold, or recommend themselves, and every minute is wasted.
The meeting with Zhongying was in a three-star French kitchen restaurant, and it was Han Sanping who led the team.
"Mr. Lin, the national key film has been approved." Han Sanping was eating a filet mignon, as if he was saying a trivial matter, "The country hasn't approved a key movie for several years, if it weren't for the theme of the Three Kingdoms this time, plus the face of so many old actors, I'm afraid I wouldn't approve it." ”
"The focus is on support funds, right?" This is what Lin Xiao cares about.
"100 million." Han Sanping said with a smile, "Don't be too little, the state is supporting, and don't share dividends, when you return 100 million to the country, others can't ask for it." The most important thing is not money, but the propaganda offensive of CCTV. ”
"The central station, as well as the sub-station, will spare no effort to promote Chibi, on the contrary, your review system is the highest and strictest, even a sentence must be scrutinized. I'm afraid you haven't been impressed by the life-and-death decision of 2000, but you should have a deep impression this time. Han Sanping picked up a piece of fatty foie gras and said, "The national focus, only the victory is said, if you shoot badly, what the result is, I don't need to say more." ”
After the country nodded, there were naturally old scholars to help Chibi refer to things like customs, and there was no need to rely on the teachers of Peking University and Tsinghua University.
After Han Sanping finished his last sentence, when he gently put down the knife and fork that was shiny, lunch was just over, not only was the steak and foie gras roast pigeon clean, but even the mushroom cream soup was not left.
After eating, Lin Xiao did not leave, and the party with the top ten film and television companies in the afternoon was in the clubhouse next door.
Unexpectedly, he saw a familiar and nostalgic figure.
Xu Ziyao, several years of prison life has made his hair much paler, and the smug and ambitious look disappeared from his face, replaced by a respectful dog-legged look.
Seeing Lin Xiao, a panicked look instantly appeared in his eyes, his mouth trembled several times, and finally he bowed respectfully, "Mr. Lin is good." ”
Lin Xiao glanced at him, this investment back then didn't make a lot of trouble for him, but he was sent in by Qin Zhong in a rage.
When was he released from prison? He didn't care too much, and it had been four or five years. I didn't expect to meet here, and I couldn't help but sigh where I wouldn't meet in life.
"You know?" A wealthy man in his fifties shook hands with Lin Xiao with a smile on his face and glanced at Xu Ziyao beside him.
"I've seen it a few times." Lin Xiao's answer was very vague, but Xu Ziyao didn't dare to say a word.
"Hehe, he was recommended by an old friend of mine, if you have any holiday with Mr. Lin, everyone give face, don't take it to heart." The man saw at a glance that the relationship between the two was not harmonious, and hurriedly mediated.
Lin Xiao smiled, "It's all over, I can't remember, if I hadn't met here, I'm afraid I wouldn't have remembered." ”
The party was a good conversation, it was just a simple party, and most importantly, Daybreak had been recognized by these established companies.
At dinner in the evening, I had a meal with the Prada representative, and the other party didn't say anything, but implicitly said that the 3D ready-to-wear was very successful, and it was far faster and more convenient than expected, which made Her Majesty the Queen of Muccia overjoyed, but she did not choose to promote it, but further raised the level of secrecy of the matter.
The representative implicitly asked how long it would take Lin Xiao to make a film. He immediately understood that the 3D revolution back then was with the help of Avatar's east wind, and Muccia knew how much significance this thing represented, and she would never take it out without 100% certainty.
She is waiting, waiting for Lin Xiao's rumored Chibi to be released, and when this shareholder wind blows, it will be the time when Prada opens the curtain of this fashion revolution.
Chibi is going on all the time, from ancient times to the present, and now, he himself has to play the role of Zhuge Liang.
Within a year, this was Lin Xiao's reply. For a year, Prada can afford to wait, and it will not be good for a long time, 3D clothing, nearly a billion dollars have been invested, and the acquisition of Weta alone is 800 million, Prada is eager to see the results.
The busy day finally passed, and when Lin Xiao took the camera to take photos of the Place de la Concorde, the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, the Sacred Heart Church of the Stone Chamber and other attractions, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.
Lying on the bed, his heart began to fluctuate.
Why is it so busy?
Because I am busy, I will suppress the expectations in my heart that grow like weeds.
Best actor in Cannes! These four words weighed down on his heart like a mountain.
No one doesn't want to be honored, and it's an honor worthy of an Oscar. And this honor will be produced in the next ten days!
Now, I'm afraid that Master Wong Kar-wai and others have begun the final review.
As soon as I let myself stop, the anticipation in my heart spreads like fire.
This is the best evaluation of an artist, just like the Grammys are to singers. Countless singers wept bitterly after winning the award, which was the biggest monument in their lives.
The excitement of the Golden Horse Awards is still in his heart, how can he be calm?
¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥
Still in Kavin, both of these were desperately written......
