Although he came here once last year, when Lin Nan was in the town of Cannes again, he was still very touched.

It is a grand event for filmmakers from all over the world, and everywhere you look, you can see movie posters, and most of them are new films within the past year.

"Director Lin, Director Ning, it is estimated that it will not be long before someone will come to invite you."

"Huh? Who are you talking about? ”

Lin Nan looked at Jiang Yurou and asked puzzled.

"There are more directors from China this year, and I heard that director Chen Kaige intends to organize a party. Well, the team of Chinese filmmakers, and the Chinese movie night after that. ”

"He is worthy of being a great director who holds the Palme d'Or, and when he comes to Cannes, he naturally becomes a leader!"

Ning Hao looked surprised, a little yin and yang.

"Okay, we'll talk about it then. Let's go fill our stomachs first. ”

Lin Nan is not disgusted with Chen Kaige's party, it is a good thing for domestic filmmakers to unite outside.

"I've already booked the restaurant, Chinese food, let's go over now."

"Well, let's go."

The arrival of every well-known director can't escape the attention of the media.

Soon, a part of the people received the news. The director of the Golden Lion and the winner of last year's Jury Prize, Lin Nan, has arrived.

"Later, invite Director Lin to attend the press conference of "Zodiac......"

"At the press conference of the new film, call them two."

…………

During a meal, Lin Nan realized how much Chinese filmmakers accounted for in this festival.

In the restaurant, they all met several Chinese film crews.

"Director Lin, didn't you notify me of "Space Traveler"?" Liu Dehao smiled.

"It's just a copyright transaction, and it doesn't need to be so laborious."

"That's not good, after the opening ceremony, I will definitely find time to help at the booth, how to say that I am also the leading actor."

Liu De said as a matter of course, very formally.

He came with the crew of "Blind Detective" this time, and the film was shortlisted for the screening unit.

"That's fine. By the way, I would like to congratulate Brother Da and the joy of making tiles. ”

"Haha, thank you Director Lin."

When he mentioned this, the smile on Liu Dehao's face was even bigger, and it was about to overflow.

Soon, the group parted ways.

Ning Hao went to meet Zhong Lifang, and Lin Nan went to find someone from Zhongying.

He still has to see the publicity of the film, but the screening of the film still has to wait until after the opening ceremony.

The background of "Genius Gunman" is the SAT exam, Lin Nan feels that the copyright in North America this time should not be low, and he is looking forward to those big companies.

As Jiang Yurou said, in the afternoon, Chen Kaige's call came.

"Lin Nan, don't forget the Chinese movie night after the opening ceremony.

Our domestic production companies, crews, directors, actors and artists, without exception, will all attend. ”

"I know Director Chen, when the time comes, I will attend on time."

Lin Nan chatted with Chen Kaige for a few words, and then hung up.

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Long's invitation, Jiang Wen's phone call, and Jia Zhangke's greetings...... A swarm of people came.

"I haven't started to do business yet, but I'm lining up one by one for the entertainment, hehe......"

Lin Nan shook his head with a smile and muttered.

That is, everyone knew that he came alone, and there was not much to do, so they all invited him.

But if Lin Nan takes Liu Yifei, in addition to his own business, the rest of the time will definitely accompany Miss Liu. How can there be so much interest in attending these dispensable events.

…………

Lin Nan stayed in the film exhibition area for half an afternoon and came into contact with many film companies.

It can be seen that many studios are very interested in "Space Traveler" and "Genius Gunman", and take the initiative to ask for tickets for the screening.

The fireworks display in the evening makes the sky over Cannes exceptionally bright.

Lin Nan was idle, so he was invited to attend Jiang Wen's drinking party.

"Director Lin is here, applaud and welcome!"

As soon as I entered the door, I heard Jiang Wen roaring, looking at it like that, he was obviously full of fun.

A group of people greeted each other with a smile and a smile, and Ning Hao raised his glass from afar.

Lin Nan glanced at it slightly, there are really a lot of people in China, Wang Zhonglei, Yu Dong, Zhang Ziyi and others are here, and there are also some filmmakers from Hong Kong Island.

"I heard that Director Jiang is going to announce the new film plan tomorrow, is this a script made quietly?"

Lin Nan nodded with the people around him, approached him, and quipped.

"Hey, yes, the script is ready, I did it myself. Tomorrow, together with the concept poster, it will be announced. This stall is bigger than "Let the Bullets Fly"! ”

Jiang Wen handed Lin Nan a glass of red wine and said with a hiccup.

"But I estimate that it will take a year to prepare, half a year, before I can start the ......."

Lin Nan knew Jiang Wen's habit of making a movie, which was called an investor, and it took more time and money.

"The actors, those are decided?"

When Lin Nan asked this, many people on the side pricked up their ears.

It's not that no one has asked before, and they are all making up their minds, but Jiang Wen doesn't eat oil and salt from beginning to end.

"Are you coming? If you come, I can change the script, haha......"

Hearing this, Lin Nan understood, it is estimated that Jiang Wen already has a plan in mind when it comes to casting.

"I'm not cheap......"

"It's expensive, so I don't have to change the script." Jiang Wen borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said with a smile.

Many actors on the side also heard the meaning of the two people's words, and they no longer had hope for Jiang Wen's movie.

As for investment? Wang Zhonglei and Yu Dong both knew that Jiang Wen would not give them this opportunity.

The latter has its own production company, as well as Yinghuang, an ally, which outsiders can't plug in.

……

…………

The next morning, the atmosphere in Cannes reached its peak, because today, the festival officially opened.

"The film screening can start, inform China Film that the number of screenings of "Space Traveler" must not exceed five, and someone must be watching the scene, don't be stolen."

"In addition, the screening of "Genius Gunslinger" and "Space Traveler" are staggered, with only one show a day and only one movie, so that our people can also stare at ......"

Lin Nan carefully admonished Jiang Yurou, who nodded in response.

"Well, I'll have someone do it later."

……

When the crews, actors and stars were preparing for the red carpet in the afternoon, Lin Nan was attending the press conference of Jiang Wenxin's movie.

On the huge concept poster, there are two upside-down top hats, and between the top hats are two flying golden bullet coins.

"Jiang Wen's film work: "One Step Away"!"

……

Cheng Chan's movies never seem to lack beauties.

The trailer press conference of "Zodiac" is also an event that has attracted much attention in Cannes, just because of Cheng Long's huge influence in the international film industry.

"I'm not retiring, but this is really my last big, pure action movie, and I'll cut back on action scenes in the future, after all, I'm getting older......"

Regardless of whether Cheng Long's words are true or not, whether they are hype or not, anyway, after saying it, the impact is not small, and the media is a little restless. Cheng Long is a famous international superstar, an action movie superstar!

……

"My movie has already set a New Year's file, and it will be announced when I return to China."

"Lunar New Year?"

Hearing Cheng Long's words, Lin Nan nodded, there are many opponents in "Thai Embarrassment". This year, Huayi's movies in the Chinese New Year file seem to be a bit much.

The opening ceremony was being held over there, but Lin Nan was scanning movies in the exhibition area.

It's all here, at least we have to see if there are any good movies that I can buy.

"Gongli red carpet, white dress and backless ......"

"Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Baizhi, the red carpet is gorgeous, and the two refute the rumors of discord......"

"Huayi team made a high-profile appearance, Wang Zhonglei announced that director Feng Xiaogang is preparing the next movie and will return to comedy again......"

…………

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Lin Nan received a lot of offers about "Space Traveler" and "Genius Gunman".

As he expected, the copyright offer for "Space Traveler" was expected, which was very good, but it was far inferior to "Genius Gunslinger".

The latter is more attractive because of its infinite closeness to reality, and the plot rhythm is tense and exciting, and the bidding of the filmmakers is fierce.

"At present, in the past four days of the opening ceremony, the highest price in several regions of China Film has exceeded 50 million dollars, and the deputy director is asking, do you want to make a move?"

"Europe and the United States combined for more than 50 million dollars?" Lin Nan asked softly.

"Yes."

"The 5 games haven't been finished yet, what's the hurry? China Film is responsible for the copyright of "Space Traveler", and they have a lot of things to do, so they have to wait until after the closing ceremony to go back.

They just sign the contract before they return home, so they can wait a little longer to see if there is a higher price. ”

Jiang Yurou nodded, "That's what I mean, they're a little excited." ”

That's right, China Film is the leader in China, but in the external copyright trading market, there are few gorgeous records, and a few times they have something to do with Lin Nan.

Compared with "Space Traveler", Lin Nan cares more about himself and Liu Yifei's movies.

"What about Genius Gunslinger?"

As soon as Lin Nan asked this sentence, he saw Jiang Yurou couldn't suppress his excited smile.

"Okay, very good, it's already over 70 million dollars, and there are still many filmmakers who are constantly bidding......"

"Seventy million dollars?"

Lin Nan muttered quietly, this number has set a new record for the copyright transaction of his film.

"Yes, especially the bidding of North American studios is the most intense."

"Keep waiting. Looks like I'm going to be there again this time for the closing ceremony, but it's worth it! ”

Lin Nan's tone of voice was also a little excited.

There are only two producers of "Genius Gunman", he and Liu Yifei, and there are no outsiders!

…………

Cannes Film Festival, a night of Chinese cinema.

This is an event that has made an official name at the festival.

Chen Kaige is the host, officially recognized in China, who let others have the Palme d'Or.

Just like what he said when he called Lin Nan before, the filmmakers and actors and stars from China are all here, and there is no shortage of them.

……

"Director Chen's "Search" has sold for a lot of money."

As soon as Lin Nan finished greeting Gong Li and dealt with Zhang Ziyi, Gao Yuanyuan and others, Ning Hao came over.

"How much?"

Lin Nan asked with some curiosity.

No wonder tonight, Chen Kaige and Chen Hong are completely approachable, and their relationship is in a good mood!

"More than 10 million US dollars, it should be less than 15 million...... The big director still has to sell the copyright! ”

Ning Hao said sourly. This was asked just now, and Chen Hong said it happily for a while.

"That's really earned! A realistic theme, not a commercial film. ”

Lin Nan remembered that the cost of "Search" in China was only 40 million, which was equivalent to less than 7 million US dollars.

"What about you? You and Zhong Lifang should have met a lot of filmmakers in the past few days, right? ”

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Ning Hao instantly hung his head a little depressed, "People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away." ”

"And suddenly became sentimental. Say it quickly, how much? ”

"$3.11 million, your name makes a big difference."

Ning Hao raised his eyelids and said with a sigh.

"It's good to earn it, and when you get a big prize, it's going to be mixed up."

"I'm in my dreams, and I often win awards."

After Ning Hao finished speaking, he suddenly reacted and stared at Lin Nan.

"You still seem to be showing those two films? With your character, you are definitely waiting for a higher price! Tell me, how many are now? ”

Looking at Ning Hao's desperate look, Lin Nan shook his head.

"You'd better not ask."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm afraid I'll hit you."

"Holy!"
