"Mr. Kang, congratulations!"

"Miss Marceau, your appearance in Fang Fang is truly amazing."

"Mr. Liang, my new film is missing an Asian male number two, I wonder if you have a schedule?"

“……”

At the Cannes dinner, many insiders attending the banquet came and went, holding wine glasses and communicating frequently.

Kang Jianfei is not familiar with these people, but there are still many guys who come up to talk, and he can only patiently talk nonsense with these strange gringos.

After sending off a few waves of peers, Kang Jianfei suddenly saw two guys coming over. The French Prime Minister Jacques, who spoke at the beginning of the dinner, walked in front of him? Chirac, behind whom he is mostly bodyguards.

Prime Minister Chirac obviously didn't fly to Kangjian, and he came up directly with Sophie? Marceau accosted her, and she took the initiative to pull Sophie? Marceau's hand, and then a semi-forced kiss came to the hand.

Seeing this scene, Kang Jianfei was unhappy at the same time, and suddenly remembered who the French prime minister was.

The famous pervert president, this thing can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman, whether it is the wife of a politician or a movie actress, Chirac never has to shake hands, but directly grabs and gnaws the back of his hand. Once, German Chancellor Angela Merkel was given a long kiss by Chirac's hand kiss, and the head of a country was kissed crimson in public, and was photographed by a reporter -- I don't know if Chirac used the tip of his tongue when he kissed the back of her hand.

Later generations circulated a lot of photos of Chirac and Gong Li after becoming president, he not only attended the Cannes Film Festival and met Gong Li, but once took a plane to Cannes to meet Gong Li. also set up a banquet for her.

Well, thinking of this, Kang Jianfei thought of another pervert president of France, Sarkozy. How can the leaders of France be like this?

Although Kang Jianfei has many women, compared with these two presidents, they are really trivial, and they are ashamed!

"Flatfoosie, it's nice to meet you, you're more beautiful and charming than on screen!" Chirac pretended to be personable, and this thing actually called Sophie by a nickname when they met for the first time? Marceau.

Sophie? Marceau had a look of disgust. Forcefully withdrew the hand that was held by Chirac, and reluctantly smiled: "Hello, Mr. Prime Minister." ”

Chirac to see Sophie? Marceau's expression was stiff. Obviously not interested in having a romantic relationship with him. In public, he couldn't do anything out of the ordinary, so he had to put away his lust and turn his attention to Kang Jianfei and Leung Jiahui: "Congratulations on your film winning the award, I heard many people say that this is a wonderful movie." I'll definitely go to the cinema when it's released. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister, for your kind words. It is a great honor. Kang Jianfei said the scene, wishing that this guy would get out of the house early. France is not Chinese mainland and Taiwan, Kang Jianfei does not need to make friends with the dignitaries here, and Chirac does not give him much benefit.

Of course, being able to make friends with a head of state, whether in France or back in Hong Kong, can improve one's own qualifications.

Everyone chatted a few words. Chirac feeling Sophie? Marceau, who was bored with him, was ready to withdraw. He called a photographer before leaving. Said he wanted to take a group photo.

Kang Jianfei went to Sophie when he saw Chirac for a group photo? Marceau's side, apparently trying to hug Sophie? Marceau's waist photographed. He quietly stepped in first, standing Chirac and Sophie? In the middle, Marceau smiled at Chirac: "Mr. Prime Minister, I am very happy to take a photo with you, and I hope to get closer to you." ”

Chirac could only smile back: "It's an honor." France is a country of art, and I really like to communicate with artists, especially good directors like Mr. Kang. ”

So, Kang Jianfei and Chirac stood in the middle, Leung Jiahui and Sophie? Marceau stood on either side and took a group photo.

I didn't expect Chirac, the perverted prime minister, to be a thief, and actually took a group photo with Kang Jianfei and the three of them alone, and finally let him take Sophie? Marceau's fragrant shoulder took a picture.

After Chirac left, Leung Kam-fai sighed: "I can't imagine that the French leader is so close to the common people, and the shelf of Hong Kong officials is much bigger." ”

Kang Jianfei complained: "A pervert." ”

Sophie? Marceau wiped the back of his hands disgustingly and said, "That's right, it's a pervert." When he kissed his hand, he actually sniffed with his nose, and the hot breath from his nostrils was so disgusting that my hairs stood on end. ”

"Uh......" Leung Ka-fai didn't know what to say, and Prime Minister Chirac's tall image in his mind collapsed in an instant.

In fact, Prime Minister Chirac is tall and strong, although he is not handsome, but he is very temperamental. With his identity as the head of state, he hooked up casually, and I don't know how many women are willing to sleep with him.

Not long after Chirac left, another director took the initiative to come over, and after shaking hands with Kang Jianfei, he greeted him in stiff Mandarin: "Hello Mr. Kang, I'm Bernardo?" Beirutocchi. ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Berrutocchi, and I'm glad I am!" Kang Jianfei reacted instantly, this guy is the director of "The Last Emperor".

Just two months ago, "The Last Emperor" swept the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars in the United States. In particular, "The Last Emperor" won nine Oscar nominations, and the last nine nominations were all awarded, which can be regarded as unprecedented in the history of the Oscars.

Last month, "The Last Emperor", which won an award in the United States, won the Best Foreign Language Film Award at the César Awards, known as the French Oscars, which made Bernardo's reputation in France even louder.

"The Last Emperor" did not participate in the Cannes Film Festival, Bernardo? Bertolucci, like Prime Minister Jacques Chirac, came to the Cannes Film Festival's 40th birthday dinner as an invited guest.

"You speak really well in Chinese." Kang Jianfei began to open his eyes and talk nonsense, praising Bernardo's strangely pronounced Chinese.

"Thanks to the compliment, I stayed in China for three years because of the filming of 'The Last Emperor', and the daily communication language is no longer a problem." Bernardo? Bertolucci said a little proudly, but changed to English as he spoke.

Kang Jianfei shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "I have been to Beijing/Beijing a few times in the past two years, and I wanted to visit your crew. It's a pity that you closed the crew completely. ”

Bernardo? Bertolucci sighed: "There is no way, if you don't close the crew, you will be disturbed too much." ”

Kang Jianfei said: "A good movie requires more thought. ”

Bernardo? Bertolucci and Sophie? After Marceau shook hands. He smiled at Liang Jiahui again: "Hello, Mr. Liang, we meet again." ”

"You know?" Sophie? Marceau looked at the two in surprise.

Liang Jiahui smiled a little unnaturally and said: "There has been a relationship. ”

Bernardo? Bertolucci pointed at Liang Jiahui and smiled: "Pu Yi, the actor of "The Last Emperor", was supposed to play Mr. Liang, but he refused my invitation. ”

Kang Jianfei has heard about this, but he doesn't know the details. Also asked, "What's going on?" ”

Bernardo? Bertolucci said: "Mr. Liang played Pu Yi very well in "Fire Dragon", so when I was casting "The Last Emperor", I first thought of Mr. Liang. But first he agreed. Later, he called again and refused. ”

Leung Ka-fai explained: "Because director Li Hanxiang is also preparing to shoot "The Last Emperor", but the copyright was bought by Bertolucci first......"

After a simple explanation, Kang Jianfei and Sophie? Marceau figured out that Li Hanxiang and Bernardo both wanted to remake Pu Yi's "The First Half of My Life" into a movie. As a result, Bernardo started faster. Be the first to buy the film rights to this autobiography.

Li Hanxiang could only save the country, and in the name of filming TV series and movies, he filmed "Fire Dragon", which also tells Pu Yi. This is obviously an act of playing a side game, strictly speaking, it has infringed Bernardo's film copyright, and Bernardo also protested to Li Hanxiang because of this.

Li Hanxiang had a conflict with Bernardo on this matter, and Li Hanxiang was Leung Ka-fai's mentor. When Leung Jiahui first accepted Bernardo's invitation, he agreed, and after figuring out the inside story, he resolutely chose to refuse to appear in "The Last Imperial Belt". Gave up a great opportunity to make a name for yourself internationally.

Kang Jianfei is a utilitarian, otherwise he will definitely agree to Bernardo's invitation. As for Li Hanxiang's side, it's not a big deal, it's purely a matter of face. However, for a person like Liang Jiahui, Kang Jianfei still appreciates it - although he thinks it is stupid to do so.

Sophie? Marceau listened to the whole thing, and couldn't help but be impressed by Leung Jiahui and regarded him as a trusted friend.

"I came to Cannes the day before yesterday, and I went to see the screening of "Fang Fang", and the director handled the details very delicately, "Bernardo? Halfway through speaking, Bertolucci smiled and looked at Leung and Sophie? Marceau, "Mr. Leung and Miss Sophie's performances in the film are also wonderful. ”

Affirmation from famous directors, compared with praise from national dignitaries, the former seems to be more weighty, Leung Ka Fai and Sophie? Marceau was quite complacent after hearing it, because they did have a breakthrough in acting when they made this movie.

After chatting for a while, Bernardo? Bertolucci talked about the purpose of his visit: "After seeing Mr. Leung's wonderful performance in "Fang Fang", I suddenly had an idea to ask Mr. Leung to be the leading actor in my new film. ”

"Me?" Leung Jiahui was taken aback, he thought that Bernardo would be dissatisfied with him because of his refusal to appear in "The Last Emperor".

"Mr. Liang, although I am very helpless that you refuse to appear in "The Last Emperor", I appreciate your principles very much," Bernardo? Bertolucci smiled, "And your acting skills are really good, and it was because of your performance in "Fang Fang" that I had the idea of making a new film." ”

Since "The Last Emperor" has won awards everywhere in Europe and the United States, today's Bernardo? Bertolucci was in full swing, and Leung Kam-fai was naturally overjoyed when he suddenly received an invitation from a great director, and he asked, "What kind of movie is it?" ”

"Duras's Lover," Bernardo said, "I had a phone call with Ms. Duras yesterday and she agreed to sell me the rights to the film and that she would write the screenplay herself. ”

"It's actually "Lover"! Mr. Bertolucci, can I play the lead lady? "Sophie? Marceau exclaimed, Duras's novels have a rebellious, iconoclastic flavor and are often award-winning. The path of a rebellious literary girl like Marceau. And the novel "Lover" only won the grand prize in France three years ago, Sophie? As soon as Marceau heard that she was going to shoot "Lover", she immediately couldn't wait to be the heroine.

Kang Jianfei was also surprised, because in another time and space, the director of the movie "Lover" was not Bernardo. Let's make it a few years later? When Arnold was preparing to shoot "Lover", he needed an Asian actor with excellent acting skills, and it was Bernardo who recommended Leung Ka-fai to Jean? Arnaud, it was this movie that made Leung Jiahui's sexy buttocks famous all over the world, and became the "most popular Asian actor" for French women.

Unexpectedly, because of the early birth of "Fang Fang", Bernardo actually started the idea of filming "Lover", and still chose Leung Jiahui as the leading actor, which is too much of a coincidence.

According to the original trajectory, Bernardo will next go to the Sahara Desert to shoot a disgusting movie about the relationship crisis of a middle-aged couple, the cheating of a male prostitute, and finally realizing that they are in love with each other, but the man hangs up on the woman's loneliness.

It seems that in this time and space, Bernardo's art film that has received rave reviews in Europe will not appear again.

Looking at Sophie? Marceau's expectant eyes, Bernardo shook his head ruthlessly and said, "No, Miss Marceau, I don't think you're the right person. ”

Sophie? Marceau asked reluctantly, "Why?" I'm going to take it very seriously, and I believe I'm up to it. ”

"It's not a matter of acting," Bernardo said, "You've just worked with Mr. Liang on Fang Fang, and if you play Lover again, it will have a preconceived negative impact on the characters in Lover." For the selection of the heroine, I am going to choose the newcomer through the guò audition. ”

Sophie? Marceau was a little disappointed, but still managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "That's a shame." ”

Bernardo? Bertolucci said: "Hopefully we will have the opportunity to work together in the future. ”

Sophie? Marceau nodded, "Very willingly." ”

In the following time, Bernardo and Leung Jiahui ran to the corner and talked about some things about the new film.

Kang Jianfei saw Sophie? Marceau had a faint sense of loss on his face and said, "It's just a movie, don't care so much." ”

Sophie? Marceau sighed: "That's "The Lover", which Duras wrote the script himself, and if I can play the heroine, I am willing to pay for it." ”

Kang Jianfei couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, don't think about "Lover" anymore, it's not interesting to make romance movies all the time. ”

Sophie? Marceau asked rhetorically, "Then what do you think is interesting to make, a detective film or a horror movie?" ”

"How's the historical action scene?" Kang Jianfei said.

Sophie? Marceau shook his head and said, "I don't understand." ”

Kang Jianfei asked, "D'Artagnan knows, right?" ”

"Of course I know, the great swordsman d'Artagnan, I watched "The Three Musketeers" when I was a child, and Armagnac still has a statue of d'Artagnan." Sophie? Marceau asked, "Did you want me to play d'Artagnan's girlfriend?" ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "No, it's the daughter of d'Artagnan, a skilled female swordsman." ”

Although "Rose Pride" was filmed decently, there was nothing too eye-catching, but Sophie? Marceau's idea of playing the daughter of the great French swordsman d'Artagnan is very interesting. As for the script, Kang Jianfei naturally had to ask someone to overturn the rewrite, at least it had to be a few levels more interesting and enjoyable than the original film. And Kang Jianfei is just investing, and he doesn't plan to be a director himself. (To be continued......)
