Walking up the long staircase to the Lumière Hall, Martin met a number of members of the jury.

Li Dongcang from South Korea was the first to come over to shake Martin's hand and seemed very enthusiastic.

Martin also responded enthusiastically.

Bruce reminded softly.

Martin turned around and John Travolta walked over, he took two steps forward and shook hands with the veteran movie star: "Hello, John. ”

Travolta said with a smile as if it was just a routine greeting, "Hubbard Sect Master asked me to say hello to you on his behalf." ”

"Thank you." Martin understood that Hubbard was definitely the leader of Scientology.

Travolta added, "Hubbard Sect Leader would like to be able to discuss with you in Los Angeles the joint development of Scientology and the Cult of Coke. ”

Martin appeared to be quite interested: "Please say hello to Hubbard Sect Master on my behalf, I have a lot of matters related to the development of the sect, and I would like to ask his experienced senior." ”

In other words, he is also a sect leader.

Travolta nodded, shook Martin's hand again, and quickly left the side.

Martin shook hands with the other judges, and everyone would have a few words.

When it came to Shu Qi, he changed to Mandarin: "Miss Shu is my favorite oriental female artist, and I have seen many of Miss Shu's works." ”

"You speak Chinese so well, it's so unexpected." Shu Qi shook hands with Martin and asked, "Have you really seen a lot of my works?" ”

Martin nodded, of course this is true, like the red light district and the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra and the like, I have read it many times in my previous life.

Especially the latter, a masterpiece in the field of art films.

Of course, he wouldn't say that: "I watched "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" last year. ”

Hearing the Chinese name of this movie, Shu Qi was sure that what Martin said was very likely to be true, the woman was more emotional, and she had a great impression of Martin.

In addition, she also thought of one thing, in the International Bartenders Association headquartered in Port City, an old friend called and asked her to pay more attention to "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and the actor Martin.

Shu Qi tried to ask, "Can we take a group photo together?" ”

"No problem." Martin stood beside her and beckoned to the photographer specially brought by the crew to take pictures of the two.

It is not easy for Shu Qi to get to the step of being a judge in Cannes.

After taking a group photo, Martin went to the other judges.

All the films participating in the competition have already been produced, and it is impossible for the film itself to do too much, and the competition for awards has naturally shifted from the film itself to other aspects.

Anyone who knows how film awards work knows that the real battleground is off the screen.

On Shu Qi's side, Louise Mayer had already greeted her through the International Bartender Association.

Martin can't be sure if he'll win, but whether he wins or not, he has to cripple his biggest competitor first.

He thinks his biggest competitor is Quentin's Inglourious Basterds.

Martin spoke to another judge, Italian actress Elsa Argento.

After meeting her in person, Martin discovers that this is the heroine of "Extreme Agent".

It also reminded him of some things he had read about Harvey in his previous life.

Martin didn't see Jury President Huppert, turned to Bruce and said, "Let people influence Aisha Argento in private, I seem to have heard somewhere that she is a victim of Harvey." ”

Bruce nodded, looked around at no one, and whispered, "It feels like we're about to become Harvey." ”

"It's normal, the dragon slayer boy will become an evil dragon one day." Martin considers himself a jerk, but compared to Harvey, he dares to say that he is a good person.

"We never do anything to force women," he said. ”

Bruce thought of the Kardashian sisters and said, "We're all forced by women!" ”

Martin glanced at the corner of the main entrance platform and saw that in the corner of the main entrance platform, Mene was taking a picture with Isabelle Huppert.

Bruce also saw it and said, "It's worthy of Mene, who got the photo with the goddess of literature and art so quickly." ”

While taking a photo with Huppert, Uncle Mene frantically complained about another Isabel, saying that when he met on the esplanade yesterday, the other party's face seemed to be shattered, which could scare people to death.

Yuppel, who seems to be a high literary and artistic person, likes to listen to these.

And Mene exudes a temperament and smell that is particularly appealing to older ladies, which Huppert liked after 2000.

Although the two didn't talk for long, they were both impressed.

Mene also had Huppert's contact details.

Martin chatted with Huppert before entering the Lumière Hall.

Bruce quietly gave Mene a thumbs up.

Mene smiled confidently, as if these were just trivialities and no big deal.

The 62nd Cannes Film Festival has officially kicked off.

The opening film of this year is Pixar's "Flying House".

Although it was only an animated film, it caused a sensation when it was released, especially at the beginning of the film, which was highly praised.

Disney has just swallowed Pixar Studios, and the impact on Pixar is not too big for the time being, and Pixar animated films are still synonymous with quality.

In less than ten years, Pixar will be homogenized by Disney.

After watching the opening video, returning to the hotel to take the elevator, Martin met Charlize Theron again, just in time to hear her complaining to her companions that she had been hungry for days on end in order to walk the red carpet.

As a good neighbor and true gentleman, Martin invites Charlize to go with him for supper.

And, of course, the rest of the two crews.

Charlize had a good impression of Martin, and he was going to go out to eat later, so he answered: "Go back and change clothes first, and let's meet in the lobby after changing?" ”

"Yes," Martin said. ”

The two went back to change into casual clothes, went downstairs to the lobby, and more than a dozen people went out to a nearby restaurant together.

Martin has already booked a spot.

The Cannes Film Festival has just begun, and it's a time when journalists go crazy.

From the time Martin and Charlize went out to the door of the restaurant, a large number of reporters were always taking pictures.

Many of them deliberately adjusted the camera, ignoring David Fincher and Jennifer Lawrence and others, and only filmed Martin and Charlize together.

Judging from the footage alone, it looks like the two are dating alone late at night and going to have supper alone.

Excellent entertainment reporters naturally understand the market demand, and they also know what the people like to eat melons, and use this to create news.

Ivan, under the influence of his partner Jodi, has also become a master in this area.

He and his assistant followed Elsa Argento into an Italian restaurant, and chose a table near Elsa.

Aisha absentmindedly ate her supper, considering the news that a middleman had turned her on.

Harvey wanted her to help push Inglourious Basterds to an award.

Aisha's heart was a little confused.

"I don't know who will be unlucky at this Cannes Film Festival." There was a voice in American English next to him, Aisha had gone to Hollywood to develop, and she could understand it: "Harvey Weinstein is here, Cannes will definitely not be calm, last year or the year before last, he locked people in a hotel room all day in order to buy a film from an overseas film company!" ”

Another said: "What is this, I saw him lock a well-known actress in a hotel room a few years ago." ”

"Harvey used what he did in Hollywood to Cannes again, and there are a lot of beautiful women this year, and there must be unlucky ones."

"Others pay attention to the exchange of interests, you and I are willing, it is really rare to use a strong person like Harvey."

"He's a big guy, a rich man, who can take him what?"

Listening to the faint words, Aisha remembered something she had deliberately forgotten, when she came to the Cannes Film Festival in 1997, she met Harvey Weinstein, who used the bait to help her move to Hollywood and fished her into a hotel room......

Aisha always thought that it was a temptation!

What Harvey promised her was not done at all, and she did not leave any evidence, plus she really wanted to go to Hollywood to develop, so she didn't dare to offend Harvey, so she could only selectively forget.

Aisha knew that she couldn't afford to mess with Harvey, and she didn't dare to say much about it, after all, it wasn't very glorious at the time.

She put down her knife and fork and slowly wiped her mouth clean, just like in a hotel room.

It's definitely not okay to do something openly, but you can do it quietly.

Aisha is now a jury member while Harvey's film is ready to compete for important awards.

When leaving the restaurant, Aisha made up her mind and bought Huppert's favorite dessert back to the hotel and delivered it to Huppert's room.

Huppert has a tough style and wants to push "The White Ribbon" to win the award, but she knows she needs to be strategic and win the support of the other judges.

Aisha took the initiative to come closer, and Huppert accepted her kindness.

…………

Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.

Stuart Townsend, who had nothing to do, got up in the morning, went to the door to pick up the newspaper, and came back to read it while eating breakfast.

Flipping to the entertainment page, he couldn't eat breakfast.

Stewart saw multiple pictures, all of which were pictures of Martin Davis with his girlfriend Charlize.

They get out of the hotel together, they press the road together, they go into the restaurant together, they go out of the restaurant together......

Intimate as if a couple.

The newspaper headlines were also terrifying.

"Martin Davis is suspected of sparking with Charlize Theron and making a double pair at Cannes! 》

Stewart has no appetite at all, these two bastards are actually cheating on him behind his back!

He took another newspaper from under the dining table, and in the photo of the newspaper, Martin and Charlize were standing on the beach, looking at each other, and their eyes seemed to be discharged!

"Damn neighbor!" Stewart roared, "Why would my neighbor be this kind of trash like Martin Davis!" ”

No one could answer him.

Stewart took out his phone, regardless of the time difference, dialed Charlize's number, waited for it to connect, and asked, "What did you do?" You shameless crazy woman dare to cheat! ”

Charlize wondered: "What are you crazy about!" ”

Stewart yelled, "I'll keep you away from Martin Davis!" Far away! Don't you understand? How dare you do this to me! ”

Charlize tries to keep his mind calm: "Martin and I are just neighbors and working relationships. “

Stewart didn't listen and warned, "If you don't stay away from that Martin Davis bastard, I'll burn down your house, and the Martin Davis house next door!" ”

Charlize was helpless and reassured: "When I go back, we can have a good talk." ”
