No one thought that this year's Cannes Film Festival would end in such a chaotic way, and the battle between the two Isabel will be remembered in the annals of film history.

Martin soon returned to the hotel, and the relevant news continued to spread, and the Cannes organizing committee spent a lot of effort to reassure Adjani, and the matter did not reach the level of the police.

Adjani was actually not injured, and eighty percent of the female head of the demon sect was pretending to be at that time.

Martin waited until late at night, when Mane returned to the hotel, before he was relieved.

The next morning, he specially called Mene to have breakfast together.

At the table, Martin peeled the egg and asked, "Are you alright?" ”

Mene smiled embarrassedly: "It's just ruined a piece of clothing, nothing else." ”

Bruce said, "You were a hero last night. ”

Facing Martin and Lao Bu, Mene did not hide it, and said directly: "Actually, I can pull away from Huppert, but I want to leave a deeper impression on Huppert, so I blocked it in the middle." ”

Martin gave Mene a thumbs up: "Awesome." ”

Bruce said, "I didn't expect you to be a scumbag too!" ”

Mene scratched his head: "I learned from you, last time you said you went to find the Kardashian sisters......"

"Shut up!" Bruce was annoyed.

Martin looked at Lao Bu: "Sister? What did you say in the first place, old man? Only one Kohler. ”

"Kim forced his way in, and Khloe was worried that her sister would be sad and couldn't refuse." Bruce's face was full of grievances after being wronged: "What can I do?" ”

He stiffly forced a reversal of the subject: "Huppert didn't say anything to you?" You've done so much. ”

"She was going to take me to meet the French director Jeanne LaBrune in the afternoon and recommend me to play the lead role in her new film," Mene said. ”

Martin asked with concern, "Are you ready next?" “

"Anyway, he's also a male protagonist." Mene smiled: "Huppert's kindness, I can't refuse it." ”

He took a sip of milk and said, "Huppert thinks that my play with her is very in line with the current social situation in France, white women and black men." ”

Martin nodded: "Literary films? ”

Mene said simply: "Huppert's heroine is a bohemian high-level call-up, who originally loved her job very much, but then suddenly felt bored, she wanted to reawaken her love for her work, and found the male protagonist as a psychiatrist." “

For this year's Cannes Film Festival, Bruce learned more about Pell and said: "The role played by your goddess of literature and art is not a normal person." ”

When Martin heard Mene's description, he could imagine the final appearance of the film, the style and tone of European literary films.

Mene said: "This film will only start filming in the second half of the year, and it does not conflict with the schedule of Nolan's new film, I think it is okay to try it next, with Huppert in the crew, I can get to know more European filmmakers." ”

Martin doesn't intervene in this regard: "You make your own decisions. ”

Bruce debunked Mene's old bottom: "You want to know more European goddesses of literature and art, right?" ”

Mene showed two rows of big white teeth, and smiled hehehehe: "Lao Bu, I'll introduce you then!" ”

Thomas hurried into the dining room and came to Martin: "There is an urgency." ”

Martin gestured to the chair across from him, "Sit down." ”

Bruce poured him a glass of water.

Thomas sat down and said, "There's a call from the company, Chanel has just contacted them, and Karl Lagerfeld wants to see you." “

He came over in a hurry, took a sip of the water glass, and said: "I contacted the Chanel headquarters according to the contact information provided by the company, and confirmed that the caller was Karl Lagerfeld's assistant, and Karl Lagerfeld is currently in Cannes, and he wants to see you in the afternoon." ”

Martin asked, "Why are you seeing me?" ”

Thomas said: "Advertising endorsement! He intends for you to be the face of Chanel No. 5. ”

"Wait!" Martin asked the question in his mind: "Isn't Chanel No. 5 a women's perfume?" Why find a male spokesperson? ”

Thomas was equally puzzled: "I don't know. ”

Martin frowned and thought about it, saying in his heart that he wouldn't be favored by Karl Lagerfeld, right? After all, what kind of man Lafayette has not seen and experienced?

Thomas said, "You'll know when you meet. ”

Martin asked again: "Has Chanel No. 5 had a male spokesperson in the past?" “

"No, never before." Thomas can be sure of this: "After Nicole Kidman's contract with Chanel No. 5 expired, Chanel refused to renew her contract, like box office poison, and her endorsements did not work well. ”

After he made the call, he asked about a lot of things: "This time, Chanel plans to hire a male and female spokesperson, and the female spokesperson is said to be Audrey Tautou, who played Coco Chanel in the movie "Fashion Pioneer Chanel". ”

Martin is a little unfamiliar with the name Audrey Tatu: "She has starred in other famous films? ”

Thomas said, "'Emily,' also known as 'Emily the Angel'. ”

The latter name reminded Martin of the corresponding movie, which should be "Angel Amelie".

Martin said, "Well, I'll see him in the afternoon." ”

Thomas got up: "I'll go talk back to them." ”

At half past two in the afternoon, Martin arrived at the marina in Cannes and boarded a white luxury yacht.

Beneath the awning on the top deck, Karl Lagerfeld and his boyfriend, Baptiste Jabicorni, rose to greet him.

Martin shook Lagerfeld's hand and nodded slightly at Jabiconi.

The latter was a little-known model last year, and after a chance encounter with Lagerfeld, he is now a hot male model in Europe.

Good words don't cost money, Martin looked at Lagerfeld's iconic sunglasses and gray hair, and said, "I didn't expect to have the honor of meeting Julius Caesar in fashion at Cannes." ”

Lagerfeld smiled: "The first post-80s actor in Hollywood, worthy of the name!" ”

He said: "Congratulations on winning the Oscar and Best Actor in Cannes. Martin, there are very few young actors like you who have achieved great things in both art and business. “

Martin also set off his own style with words in front of Lagerfeld, who was very high-spirited: "God has given me an outstanding gift, and my efforts have made it fulfill, and that's it." ”

Lagerfeld nodded slightly and asked, "What do you think of Chanel No. 5?" “

"One of the most iconic fragrances for women." Martin is like an artist: "It awakens their soul rather than abstract emotion or beauty." ”

He synthesized some of his previous lives, when many girls sold their souls and bodies for Chanel No. 5.

Martin directly asked the doubts in his heart: "Chanel No. 5 has never had a male spokesperson in the past, why do you want to choose me for Lagerfeld?" ”

Lagerfeld said calmly: "It seems strange and absurd for a man to interpret the most classic women's fragrance. ”

Martin waited for him to continue.

"But the definition of Chanel No. 5 is revolution, a break with the conventions of the world," Lagerfeld said. You are a dynamic young man, and time has precipitated a special mature charm in you, and the two temperaments of youth and maturity are perfectly integrated in you! ”

He looked Martin up and down carefully: "I can see that under the charming appearance, you hide a wild and unrestrained heart, and the masculinity you exude will make countless women tempted." ”

When these words came out of the mouth of a man who had a boyfriend, Martin felt uncomfortable all over his body, and even got goosebumps.

But he sat like a mountain, only showing a faint smile, looking extremely confident.

Lagerfeld's words continued: "A wonderful man like you who has been dumped by Chanel No. 5 will send a belief that everyone will be dumped for Chanel No. 5!" ”

He highlighted the last sentence: "This will make Chanel No. 5 even more legendary." ”

Hearing this, Martin grasped the key, in this era of information super-explosion, even Chanel No. 5 needs to create a topic.

According to his understanding of many contacts with Cartier, luxury requires more advanced marketing.

Martin said politely: "I am very honored by your favor." ”

Lagerfeld nodded slightly at him.

Martin didn't say anything: "Carl, I can't give you a definite reply right now, my agency and team need to weigh the pros and cons comprehensively. ”

He has always paid attention to taking money to do things, and the five major sponsors have just paid $6 million for the Cannes actor: "I am currently working with a number of brands, and I also want to say hello to them. ”

There are many aspects to this matter, and Karl Lagerfeld did not expect Martin to give an immediate answer.

"Alright, we're done talking about business, we can talk about something else." Lagerfeld asked, "Interested in going fishing at sea together?" ”

Martin glanced at Bruce and Thomas without a trace, and said, "Of course, I haven't fished on a luxury cruise yet." “

Soon, the yacht slowly started and sailed out of the dock area.

There was a rod on the boat, and Martin went fishing when he was in Los Angeles, and although he wasn't a good angler, he used a rod as well.

Before dark, the yacht returned to the dock and Martin said goodbye.

Coming down the long trestle, Martin got into the car and said to Thomas, "You go back to Los Angeles and go through this with the agency, and I'm not sure what the impact will be." “

Thomas didn't encounter it either, saying: "Once you sign with Chanel No. 5, the influence must be huge, and you are worried about the negative impact? ”

"If it's not suitable, I'd rather push it off," Martin said. ”

Thomas said: "I don't need to reply for the time being, we'll see the situation." ”

Martin reminded: "All the sponsors there, say hello. ”

The three of them returned to the Wuyang Hotel, and Mene called, not coming back tonight, and when they checked out tomorrow, they would meet at the front desk in the lobby.

Early the next morning, Martin and his party separated from David Fincher and Thomas and took a flight to Paris and from there to Morocco, where they met up with the Nolan crew.
