Just when Higgins was struggling to find an opportunity to hint to Zuo Jiang, the opportunity came unexpectedly. (Qianzai Chinese network provides the latest chapter reading> This night, when Higgins and Rigel May were drinking and chatting in the small bar, Zuo Jiang and Taufei walked in, Higgins looked up and saw them with a burst of surprise in his heart, this is a godsend!

"Mr. Harry Potter!" Higgins immediately stood up and waved to Zuo Jiang.

When Zuo Jiang heard the prestige, he saw Higgins at the table in front of the window in front of the station, and at the same time saw Mr. Rigelme sitting opposite him. Zuo Jiang looked slightly stunned, and then he knew what was going on, pulled Tao Fei, and walked over to Higgins with a smile with Tao Fei.

Higgins said enthusiastically, "Mr. Harry Potter, beautiful Lady Tauphy, it was a pleasure to meet you in such a small bar, it was a lovely evening! ”

Zuo Jiang smiled and said, "Yes! It was indeed an enjoyable evening! ”

Higgins said, "Come, I'll introduce you." He gestured to Rigelme and said, "This is my old friend, Mr. Rigelme, chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Cannes Film Festival and a famous French director!" ”

Rigel saw that Higgins was very enthusiastic about Zuo Jiang and Taufei, the young men and women of the Eastern face, although it was not clear, but it was rare to see Higgins so enthusiastic, he was a French socialite, and he paid great attention to etiquette, and when he saw Higgins introduce himself to the two, he stood up very politely. Higgins introduced Rigelme: "Mr. Harry Potter, the chairman of Harry Potter Financial Investment Company in the United States, and this is Ms. Tao Fei, the president of Harry Potter China. They are our Accor partners! ”

Although Riegelme had never heard of Harry Potter Financial Investment Company, the ones that could cooperate with Accor Group were all large companies with strong economic strength, otherwise Higgins would not have introduced him so solemnly, so he shook hands with Zuo Jiang and Tao Fei with a smile on his face, and made a cold noise.

Things have come to this point, no matter how stupid Zuo Jiang is, he understands that everything in this is secretly promoted by Mr. Higgins, as for what method he used, Zuo Jiang would not ask Higgins, and there is no need to know. Just admit it to him in his heart, but he has to admit that Accor Group is still very influential in France!

Higgins said, "Mr. Harry Potter and Ms. Tauphy, why don't you sit down and have a drink together!" "Higgins' purpose has been achieved. The tone of his voice became relaxed.

Zuo Jiang smiled and said: "Mr. Higgins, it is not easy for you old friends to meet together, we will not bother you and old friends to catch up, I will invite you to have a drink another day when I have time!" ”

Higgins knew that Zuo Jiang and Taufei would not sit down on such an occasion. But invitations are a must. It's etiquette. Seeing Zuo Jiang's euphemism, he refused. He smiled and said, "In that case." I can't force it. Wishing you and Ms. Tao a happy and enjoyable evening! ”

Zuo Jiang and Taufei politely apologized to Rigelme. Walked to a corner and sat down at the dining table. After I asked for a drink. We chatted as we drank. Zuo Jiang and Tao Fei were discussing some issues of the company while taking a walk. After seeing this small bar, I decided to sit here for a while. Unexpectedly, I met Higgins and Rigelme.

In the past few days, Rigelme has been trying to build momentum for the movie "Eternal Red Face". One is to lobby the committee members to vote for "Eternal Red Face" at that time. Of course. He could not have persuaded all the commissioners. It is to lobby some heavyweight members in a focused manner. Because he knows. These heavyweights are a small nucleus. There are several commissioners behind them who support them.

The Riegel Medi lobby was fruitful. Several French heavyweights after watching the movie "Eternal Beauty". I feel that this movie is excellent both artistically and aesthetically. It would make sense if it won the award. In addition, it is considered that the film festival will strive for the major interests of the French president. all expressed their support for him. Rigelme did the math. He's got enough votes now. The pro-American foreign commissioners gave up lobbying.

Dick, the famous American director, has been very depressed recently. This time, he brought his $30 million blockbuster "Galaxy Fleet" to the Cannes Film Festival. It's the Palme d'Or. And before the opening of the film festival. Everything went as smoothly as he thought it would be. The award seems to be expected. However. Half an hour before the opening of the festival. The committee informed him that "Galactic Fleet" would be rescheduled for 8 p.m. after the screening. And the calamity began. He knows exactly what the 8 p.m. screening is like. On the opening day of the festival, two films from the participating regions will be screened. The film is shown at 5 p.m. The 8 p.m. screening venue is undoubtedly canceling the right to screen films in other places. Although it is still a day screening. But the importance is the difference between heaven and earth.

Dick learned about it through an American commissioner with whom he was close. This decision was made in order to welcome the French president's visit to China. The decision was made in the last night's vote. It's for political reasons. Since the Cannes Film Festival is a French member of the world. Dick knew it was useless to argue on this issue. I could only endure this sulking.

Dick watched the movie "Eternal Beauty" at the screening, and after returning to the hotel where he lived, he dropped the cup, in his eyes, this movie is garbage, a total of less than $2 million in garbage movies, how can it be compared with his investment of 30 million dollars in a big production, these damn French, actually let it press on their heads.

However, things that made him even more depressed followed, after the screening of the film "Eternal Beauty", Rigelme personally wrote a review article praising the film, followed by the French media even more applause, "Eternal Beauty" was screened one after another, the audience's enthusiasm continued unabated, and even, some French media publicly said that the film "Eternal Beauty" will win several important awards at this film festival.

Compared with the fiery scene of "Eternal Beauty", Dick's "Galaxy Fleet" is much more deserted, and there is no hot scene that overshadows the momentum of "Eternal Beauty" as he expected, and the media has little enthusiasm for its coverage, and some media even openly criticize "Galaxy Fleet" for being flashy, just relying on high-tech productions to attract the audience's attention.

Day by day, Dick saw that his general trend was gone, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, moving up and down. However, feedback from all sides indicates that "Eternal Beauty" will be the favorite for the Palme d'Or at this year's festival. When the American commissioners who were close to him told him that those French commissioners would support "Eternal Red" to win the award, Dick finally broke out!

Before Dick came to participate in this year's Cannes Film Festival, he had already boasted in front of his American counterparts that if his "Galactic Fleet" did not win the Palme d'Or, he would never touch a film again. It's a bet he can't afford to lose, and if he doesn't win the Palme d'Or, he'll have to find a fig leaf for himself if he returns to see his American counterparts and leaves forever the movies that have earned him so much accolades and money.

After some hard thinking, Dick finally came up with a "good way", he submitted a complaint to the organizing committee of the film festival on the grounds that there was artificial manipulation of this film festival, which caused his film "Galaxy Fleet" to be treated unfairly, and threatened that if the organizing committee did not publicly apologize to him to save the impact, he would withdraw from this film festival and never participate in the Cannes Film Festival in the future.

After this withdrawal incident, the film industry in Cannes and even the world immediately caused an uproar, and the mainstream media in France and influential film and entertainment media around the world reported and commented on the incident. Most of the French media reported on Dick in order to maintain the image of the Cannes Film Festival, and some French media even directly accused Dick of this stupid thing when he saw that there was no hope of winning the award.

The mainstream film media in the United States have supported Dick, accusing the organizing committee of the Cannes Film Festival of operating in the dark, and saying fiercely that if the situation cannot be improved, then American films will reject Cannes in the future. For a time, the two camps fought each other and launched a fierce debate. It has attracted the attention of the film industry all over the world.

The Organizing Committee of the Cannes Film Festival is facing tremendous pressure from all sides, in order to calm down the incident as soon as possible, the Organizing Committee has the right to make a decision on the issue of the screening of the films participating in the Film Festival, which is in line with the rules of the Film Festival, and the films screened at the Film Festival are also voted by all members of the Organizing Committee, which can withstand any test, and no one has the right to interfere in the work of the Organizing Committee of the Film Festival, and anyone who tries to put pressure on the Organizing Committee is invalid. We will resolutely defend the dignity of the Cannes Film Festival. As soon as the theme statement was made, the mainstream media in France reproduced the statement in full in a prominent position, with comments praising the film organizing committee for adhering to principles and adhering to the spirit of justice, accusing the mainstream film media in the United States of grossly interfering in the film festival, and resolutely supporting the decision of the film festival organizing committee.

Faced with this situation, the mainstream film media in the United States fought back weakly for a while, and then dropped a few cruel words and died down.

This situation is exactly what Dick wants to see, he knows that it is impossible for the main committee of the film festival to publicly apologize to him, so he submitted such a strongly worded appeal to the main committee, in order to give himself a step and save some face for himself in front of his American counterparts, and the support of the mainstream film media in the United States is beyond his expectations.
