The opening dinner is a large-scale social event, and the attention of the guests is not to eat but to get to know as many people as possible, after all, it is Vanity Fair!

At the beginning, Zhou Xun was still looking for various delicacies with Li Tang with great interest, but after a while, he was pulled by Li Xiaowan to follow Dai Sijie to deal with all kinds of foreigners.

In fact, French food is as broad and profound as Chinese food, but the cooking techniques and seasonings are different.

"Hey, this mussel is good."

Mussels are called Haihong in China, which is a relatively cheap shellfish ingredient, which is generally boiled directly fresh or soaked after drying and then used to stir-fry pickles or stewed soup.

The mussels in French cuisine are fresh, stir-fried in butter, topped with white wine and celery foam, and sprinkled with black pepper, making the soup thick and delicious.

Zeng Jia is also rare to wear a black evening dress today, she is tall and has a good figure, she doesn't dare to say that she is glamorous with a little bit of it, but it is enough to attract a lot of heads.

It's just that after all, it was the first time for her to participate in such an occasion, and she seemed very restrained. Seeing Li Tang tasting all kinds of delicacies with great interest, I wanted to remind him, but I was afraid of disturbing the boss's interest. But his own boss is too unmotivated, and he can't ask for anything else on this occasion, so he still has the leisure to eat.

But Li Tang didn't think at all, or didn't care at all. As a Chinese actor, he deeply feels that the stage on which he can play is in China. What goes abroad and develops towards Hollywood and the like is pure nonsense.

Of course, people like Cheng Long and Li Lian who can gain a firm foothold in Hollywood are special cases, and the movie itself has great limitations on their setting, which is nothing more than showing Chinese kung fu, and to put it mildly, they are special actors.

Today, when I came to this kind of occasion, in addition to selling films, it was nothing more than brushing the brush, holding on to foreign self-respect, or creating a character with flowers inside the wall and fragrance outside the wall, after all, in these years, the domestic officials and nobles, down to the ordinary people, recognize this.

has been weak for a long time, and it is still the same sentence: what is lacking is what you care. Even if you brush a small award abroad, in the eyes of the Chinese people, it is to win glory for the country. I am particularly proud to be recognized by foreigners.

"Hey, Jiajia, eat quickly, don't hold it, no one knows you here." Li Tang saw Zeng Jia standing beside him stunned, and couldn't help but tease.

"Brother......

Zeng Jia looked at his boss and was speechless.

Li Tang didn't care and pointed to the red wine beef stew he had just tasted: "This beef is not bad, try it!" When I go back, let Bingbing try to make it, I am tired of eating braised beef and sauced beef all the time. ”

The boss warmly invited, Zeng Jia had to try to taste it, the taste was really good, the beef was very soft, and there was an aftertaste of red wine, a different taste.

In fact, she was hungry for a long time, but she was always excited and didn't feel it. I have to say that it is also one of the three major film festivals in Europe, and the star content of the stars is far greater than that of the Venice Film Festival she participated in last year.

May is the most beautiful season in the Mediterranean, with blue seas and blue skies, climate adaptation, and the beginning of the summer season, which is a good time for film promotion and release.

Unlike the Berlinale in February, which coincides with the Montreal and Toronto Film Festivals in North America, Hollywood stars prefer to go to nearby Gama University rather than the transatlantic city of Venice.

Therefore, it has to be said that the Cannes Film Festival occupies the right time and place, and it is not difficult to understand that it can become the first of the three major in Europe, and the gold content of the Palme d'Or is also the highest.

After Zeng Jia tasted it, he aroused the cravings in his stomach. Forget it, anyway, my boss doesn't want to be motivated, and besides, the opening dinner of the Cannes Film Festival is not something that anyone can eat. Maybe the usual dishes are the same, but the meaning is different, just looking at it and not eating it will make you panic.

So Zeng Jia stopped pretending, and followed the boss to start feasting.

But after a while, I saw a blonde beauty coming over, and when I saw the two of them just cares about eating, I couldn't help laughing: "Hey, Li Tang!" ”

The two turned around when they heard the sound, and coincidentally, they finally met an acquaintance.

Zeng Jia hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth, tidied up his appearance, and showed a professional smile: "Hello, Ms. Schlamaker!" ”

"Mud Hao!"

One in English, one in broken Chinese, a bit of chicken and duck speaking.

Li Tang opened his arms to the visitor and said with a smile: "Hi, Juliet! I said, when I came to your territory, why didn't I see you? ”

Juliet. Schlamaker hugged him warmly and kissed him twice with the French kiss on the face.

I have to say that the success of "The Third Man" is a win-win for the two, Schlamaker further consolidated his position in MK2, and Li Tang dug up the first pot of gold.

"I just came from Paris and didn't make it to the opening ceremony, but I was lucky to make it to dinner."

Juliet. Schlamaker raised the champagne in his hand as he spoke, this time Zeng Jia was very clever and had already brought the champagne to the boss. Li Tang took it and touched Juliet's wine glass lightly.

"I heard that you recently invested in and starred in a new movie?"

"Yes, it's just finished, and it's currently in post-production."

Li Tang was not surprised at all that Juliet was well-informed. The two have just collaborated on a blockbuster movie, and it would be strange if the other party didn't pay any attention to their own dynamics.

In fact, Li Tang came this time to find an opportunity to explore the tone of MK2, of course, in the end, he still relied on the quality of the film.

Sure enough, Juliet continued, "I'm looking forward to seeing us work together again." ”

"Of course!"

Li Tang Dynasty raised her glass and said with a smile, "If time permits, I want to participate in this year's Venice Film Festival." ”

"Oh, Li Tang, it's not polite for you to talk about wanting to attend the Venice Film Festival at the opening dinner of the Cannes Film Festival." Juliet joked with a smile.

Li Tang shrugged: "No way, time doesn't allow it." Otherwise, I would definitely prefer to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, even if it is an exhibition unit! ”

Everyone is a smart person, and when she heard Li Tang's words, Juliet suddenly understood in her heart, it seems that this new movie, which is in the late stage, will definitely not be as good as the previous "The Third Man". She was a little disappointed in her heart, after all, her appetite was too high for the first time.

However, she also understands that it is impossible to expect a film company to be able to produce high-quality products all the time, and the big film companies like Hollywood often go to the wheat city.

So she wants to maintain a good relationship, even if the quality of the movie is not ideal, she is willing to help, just like her top boss, MK2's vice president Dutron is extremely optimistic about Chief Jia, this time Chief Jia's "Ren Yao" can be shortlisted for the main competition unit as the only seedling of Chinese films, Mk2 has made great efforts and got the distribution rights of this movie as he wished.

Juliet paused for a moment and then nodded neatly: "No problem, if you don't have time, you can also participate in the Paris International Film Festival." ”

There are two meanings for this time, one is literal, and the other is that the quality of the film may not be shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival even if the back door is opened, so the second best thing to do is to choose the Paris International Film Festival.

Although the Paris International Film Festival is not one of the 12 A-category film festivals, Paris is a big city after all, and it still has a great influence at least in Europe. At the beginning, Lou Ye's "Suzhou River" failed to sign up for Cannes, and finally chose the Paris International Film Festival. No, the Paris actress is poking not far ahead.

Now that a verbal agreement has been reached, the atmosphere is relaxed. Li Tang also learned from Juliet's mouth that MK2 was originally very optimistic about the movie "The Little Tailor", but unfortunately the distribution rights were taken by the French BAC film company.

A good movie is definitely a seller's market, and the competition for distribution agents is fierce. "The Little Tailor" benefits from a huge readership in France, and generally speaking, the box office is certainly not bad.

Whether it is the American superhero series, or the Lord of the Rings series, including the Harry Potter series, the massive box office generated by the future generations is all based on a huge readership.

Just like Lin Weimin's "Farewell My Concubine" and Li Bihua's "Farewell My Concubine", they are completely two levels.

Li Tang and Juliet chatted for a while, and then saw a group of people coming over, and the two did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to meet them.

"This is Mr. Dutron, the vice president of MK2!" Juliet introduces Li Tang.

Li Tang hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake hands with the smiling little white man: "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Dutron!" ”

"NoNoNo, it's me who should say it's honored, Lee!"

The French are very similar to the Italians, and the kind words are often set in one way, provided that you can bring them benefits. And Li Tang, who has already proven himself, is obviously fragrant and sweet at present.

Dutron naturally replaced Juliet and introduced the middle-aged yellow man next to Li Tang who looked kind but was a little restrained: "This is Mr. Ichiyama San, the producer of "Let It Go"! ”

In fact, without Du Teron's introduction, Li Tang can roughly guess it. The same yellow race, the appearance is almost the same, but the Chinese, sticks, and devils are very recognizable, and the temperament is different.

"Hello, Mr. Ichiyama!" Li Tang shook hands with him very politely.

"Li Tangjun, please take care of me!"

Ichiyama held his hand with three hands and bowed deeply.

Then Dutron smiled and pointed to the embarrassment of a small man next to him and a tall but average-looking woman and said, "These two must not be introduced." ”

"Of course!"

Li Tang also greeted the two with a smile on his face: "Director Jia, Sister Zhao Tao, hello!" ”

"Li Tang, hello!"

Section Chief Jia was a little restrained, but the person next to him seemed to be very comfortable and enjoying the atmosphere here, holding Li Tang's hand, and actually spit out a greeting in French.

Li Tang is a face-seeker, and he will definitely be the "Yan Dog" in everyone's mouth in the future generations. So even though the person in front of him was born in dance and maintained a pretty good figure and shape, the mediocre and earthy face was greatly reduced on his side. actually showed off French with himself, how do you say it......

Although he tried his best to avoid associating those discriminatory and offensive words, the words "ugly people do more weird" still popped up in his mind.

In fact, this is not to blame him, as Chief Jia became famous, he heard a lot of rumors about Chief Jia from Xiaoteng and them, they are all from Nortel, and there is a lot of gossip. And for Chief Jia, after all, there are many popular people!

For example, at the beginning of Chief Jia's fame, he originally had a girlfriend, the senior sister of Nortel's recording department. When Chief Jia was filming "Little Mountain Comes Home" and "Xiao Wu", this senior sister provided a lot of help to Section Chief Jia.

As the saying goes: when a man is rich, he becomes bad, and when a woman becomes bad, he is rich. Chief Jia is also not exempt from vulgarity, and quickly rolled with the heroine he personally selected during the filming of "Platform".

As a rising director star at that time, it stands to reason that there are beautiful girls waiting for Section Chief Jia to choose, but he just chose Zhao Tao, who was mediocre.

If you want to analyze the reason, from the perspective of Chief Jia, it may be that the taste is unique; And from Zhao Tao's point of view, it is easy to think that this woman is not ordinary, very scheming, etc.

It is precisely because he has heard too many of these rumors, coupled with the fact that he is Yan Gou's attributes, that it is difficult for Li Tang to have a good impression of this sorrowful Mrs. Jia.

The second watch, cheekily ask for votes!
