Not only him, but every nominated artist, within ten days, it is impossible to sleep peacefully.

In the main competition unit, there are dozens of films nominated, and the monster is in the main competition unit, yes, but there are more awards in the main competition unit, the best director, the best screenplay, and the best music are all in the main competition unit, and it is really unknown whether he can be nominated for the best actor.

Therefore, he can only keep himself busy, busy, so that he doesn't think about these things, just wait quietly for it to come.

The next day, after he got up, he put all these thoughts in his heart, and before the shortlist was announced, the biggest thing was to visit the off-site market exhibition.

When Lin Xiao and his entourage walked to the periphery of the Paris Opera House, where Cannes was held, everyone was taken aback.

A sea of people!

People of all colors form a paradise of colors here, and around the periphery of the opera house are dozens of booths built against the backs of the opera house, where the world's major film and television and distribution companies are located. Outside, there are more smaller companies that can't set up booths.

At the outermost level, there are young directors and actors who dream of stardom, and there is only one language here, and that is fluent English. The police also put in 12 percent effort to maintain order at the side market where transactions took place every minute.

Passing past a group of burgers, cokes, popcorn vendors, and walking under the wings of the dove of peace, he looked more clearly at what is known as the most vibrant place in Cannes.

To put it bluntly, it's a vegetable market, but it's a movie market.

"Sir, would you be interested in watching our movie?" As soon as he walked in, four or five people immediately surrounded him, all of them were twenty-three or four-year-old, blonde and blue-eyed, and two of them were taller than Lin Xiao. They didn't have the financial resources to build a booth, so they could only use the form of a stall, holding a movie poster, and asked with expectant eyes.

"Oh, I know you!" As soon as he walked in, one of the young men immediately covered his mouth and exclaimed, "You are Lin!" Batman Mentor, Generalissimo of Stormwind! ”

One of the entourage, Christina, had a suspicious look in her eyes, Batman Mentor she knew, what is this and what is the Generalissimo?

"Did you bring a script and tidbits that you thought were outstanding?" Lin Xiao asked with a smile.

"Bring it!" Several young people's eyes lit up, and they immediately took out a stack of materials and stuffed them together with the business cards that had been prepared a long time ago.

"Well, I'll let you know if I'm interested."

After walking more than ten meters, they had been intercepted by three or four groups of people, Lin Xiao went from the joy at the beginning to the annoyance later, and patiently accepted all the business cards before walking to his booth.

It is said that it is the booth of Dawn, but in fact, it is not exactly, in detail, it is the booth of Dawn and SHOWBOX, one of the top publishing companies in South Korea, and China's cutting-edge, at this moment, a huge poster is hung together, three or four meters high, and the monster is particularly eye-catching.

On the left, there is a row of Chinese films, and on the right, there are Korean films, as if it was agreed that the well water does not interfere with the river water.

And Cui Rongpei is being interviewed at the moment, and his white and fat face is so smiling that he can't close his mouth.

Naturally, he couldn't hide, Cui Rongpei pulled him into the water with a smile, and the two kept talking about dry mouths, and the reporter let them go. And Cui Rongpei, who was full of smiles, turned his face and said to the person next to him with a black face, "Don't you want to do it here?" How many times have I said don't let these mane dogs come, next time let them find me, and you can go back to Korea yourself. ”

After a lecture, Cui Rongpei shook hands with Lin Xiao with a smile, and the two chatted while walking, Cui Rongpei looked around and lowered his voice with a smile, "Mr. Lin, are you sure?" ”

Lin Xiao pressed his temples with a headache, "I just forced myself not to think about it, and you brought it up again." Mr. Choi, Freemason, could you please not mention this. ”

"Shh Cui Rongpei glanced at him and said softly, "Be quiet, I'm not the only member of Cannes this time." ”

"I'm not sure." Lin Xiao shrugged his shoulders, "I have self-knowledge, and it is best to be shortlisted." As for the actor award, I'm afraid I won't be able to take it away. Although I'm also eager for it. ”

"Oh? Mr. Lin's performance in the monster can be described as amazing, which can't satisfy the attention of these judges? ”

Lin Xiao shook his head and sighed, "Cannes...... Who wouldn't want to be amazing in my performance and not amazing in others? Which one can win the Cannes Best Actor is Yi Biao? I don't think I won the award because of the monster's genre, and the number of times the ghost house movie won almost zero. To win the award, it is also the strange fish that wins. This is a rebuttal. ”

"What is a refutation?" Cui Rongpei became interested and walked back with Lin Xiao. Taiwan, someone immediately served tea, Cui Rongpei asked for a glass of white water, and asked with interest.

Lin Xiao smiled bitterly, "The ghost house type, the protagonist is actually not me, if you really want to care about the protagonist award, I am not the protagonist, this kind of award, how much importance is the name, this is one of the reasons why the ghost house cannot win the award, in addition, there are not many places to show acting skills in the film, no matter how good I act, everyone does not remember much in the end, the third is that the award has to take care of the reputation of the niche of literary films, the ghost house has won awards, and those literary film directors and artists must not fall out? ”

Cui Rongpei nodded and said with a smile, "Then why are you coming to Cannes?" As far as I know, China does not have the distribution rights of foreign language films except for China Film Huaxia, and you have obtained the Chinese distribution of monsters, and everyone is jealous of the money, China Film is no longer easy to do, right? Is it just to hang out? ”

Lin Xiao smiled, "I'm here to see you." It's a pity that everyone called me yesterday, but Mr. Cui's call didn't wait. ”

"Me?" Cui Rongpei raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, the Freemasons have no plans to absorb you now." I know that Queen Mucia has given you a recommendation, and her recommendation is much more useful than mine. But your identity is not enough to join the middle level. ”

"I'm not here for this." Lin Xiao shook his head, waved his hand, and let everyone out, Cui Rongpei watched all this quietly.

"Are you interested in having a game?"

"What to play?"

"Jackpot." Lin Xiao said solemnly: "An award that affects the Asia-Pacific region. ”

Cui Rongpei smiled.

He is a careerist, and it can be seen from his attempt to control the confrontation between the Yingxing Association and the South Korean government, maybe he doesn't need any results, but he is happy to enjoy the process, although the current situation in South Korea, hundreds of artists have jointly written to the government to ignore it at all, and the Yingxing Association is basically doomed, but he does not feel depressed.

"Tell me about it?"

"Next year, I'm going to hold the highest impact award in the Asia-Pacific region. I don't know if the Shadow Club is interested in participating. Lin Xiao said lightly.

Cui Rongpei took a sip of water, rubbed his round chin, and thought for a while before he spoke, "China, Japan and South Korea Tripartite Award? China has you in the lead, it shouldn't be difficult, South Korea thought of the film club, what about Japan? Ken Watanabe? ”

"No, Zhou Fang Yuxiong."

Cui Rongpei was slightly stunned: "The underground emperor of the Japanese entertainment industry? Can you reach him? ”

Lin Xiao did not tell Cui Rongpei that Zhou Fang Yuxiong had something to do with Sony, Japan is a consortium economy, and Yasuichi Hamada, who accepted Sony's support, is destined to be inseparable from Sony.

He nodded, "Each of the three companies will contribute one-third, and the profits will be divided equally according to the shares." ”

He doesn't know Cui Rongpei's identity, but he can serve as a senior executive in the Yingxing Club, and the power behind him is definitely not bad, and Sony has long wanted to enter the Chinese market, and this opportunity will definitely not be missed.

Although there is no contact yet, it is not unlikely, after all, this road is the way of the last Asia-Pacific Film and Television Awards.

Cui Rongpei thought for a while and shook his head, "Dawn is not enough. ”

To put it succinctly, if the film will be held, Sony and Dawn will join forces, it will be to surrender their identity, or to raise the identity of Dawn, both parties are giants who dominate a country's film and television industry, and Dawn is not comparable to them.

"It's not dawn, it's the Guangying Department." Lin Xiao smiled treacherously.

"Guangying Department?" Cui Rongpei is now upright.

It's too much of a cat. The awards ceremony makes money, and if it is done well, it will definitely make money, and it has made a reputation, this kind of purely commercial operation, Sony is probably the three leaders. But the involvement of the Guangying Department is completely different.

He originally guessed that Dawn was planning to use this ceremony to make money and gain fame, but with the addition of the Guangzhou Film Department, it shows that the other party really wants to make this award a film festival that attracts attention in the Asia-Pacific region!

The gap is not calculated in thousands of miles, but in 100,000 miles and millions of miles. If you simply make money, and even the places can be auctioned, who is not convinced by the awards of the Yingxing Club and Sony? However, with the participation of a national department like the Ministry of Film and Television, there will never be such a situation, and it must be a film event like the Golden Horse, the Green Dragon, and the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers, rather than a pure money-making behavior.

And in doing so, a new problem arises, that is, this kind of jackpot must be difficult to make money at first, and it is possible to lose money for a year or two. Sony has a lot of money and is eager to break into the Chinese market, and they are likely to be willing to give up this money, but the film club is different, in the final analysis, it is a non-governmental organization, even if it can confront the government, it is not officially authorized, and every penny is very important to the movie club.

After a long time, Cui Rongpei said, "That's why you want to interview me?" ”

Without waiting for Lin Xiao to answer, he sighed, "Mr. Lin, this is not easy, I know it, you want to make it an Oriental Oscar, indeed, there is no award in the Asia-Pacific region that can be held, which hinders the exchange of films from various countries, but what is the result?" Who can guarantee that countries will buy it? Once the influence of the awards in various countries is especially higher than that of the Asia-Pacific Film and Television Awards, what is the need for it to exist? ”

Lin Xiao smiled, this one is his killer feature.

Everything needs Wang Guohui's contract!

"I can guarantee that any film that wins an award at the Asia-Pacific Film and Television Awards will be given the best cinema chain, the greatest publicity, and try to ensure that it will not be cut and released in China!"

With the market, there is popularity! This is an unbreakable truth! Once the award-winning films can be screened, instead of being ignored as in previous lives, then the influence of the Asia-Pacific Film and Television Awards will become higher and higher.

If the three major Asian powers join in the screening of the winning blockbuster, it is likely to rise in power.

The Guangying Department will not release it, but once Chibi succeeds, Dawn can be released!
