In this world, the most famous A-class international film festivals are naturally the three largest in Europe.

Cannes, Venice and Berlin are the highest film festivals.

The competition films of these three film festivals only accept films that have not yet been officially released.

And any movie can only participate in one of the three, not two.

Some mainland self-media are nonsense, saying that a certain film has swept the three major European film festivals at every turn.

Such a statement is undoubtedly false.

If you go to the Cannes Film Festival, you can't go to the Berlin and Venice Film Festival.

If you go to the Berlinale, you can't go to Venice and Cannes.

In addition to these three, the prestige and authority of other international film festivals are much worse.

For example, Dongjing and Shanghai Film Festival are A-class international film festivals, but there are many fewer participating films.

And in addition to the three major European film festivals, other international A-category film festivals, any film can participate, and films that have been released can also participate.

These film festivals have a low status internationally.

Generally speaking, in addition to the three major film festivals in Europe, the most famous film festival is the Toronto Film Festival.

The Toronto Film Festival is not actually a category A film festival, but a category C film festival.

But people are backed by the North American market, and many films want to compete at the Toronto Film Festival, want to become famous in one fell swoop, and then enter the North American market.

The Toronto Film Festival, like the three major European ones, cannot be screened in any of the participating films, and they only accept films that have not yet been released, as a way to reflect the compulsion.

On October 9, 2007, on the twelfth day of the release of "The Hangover", Lee Shengyao was invited to the Toronto Film Festival Awards Ceremony.

As an award presenter, he presented the best short film at the film festival.

After the award ceremony, Li Shengyao naturally stayed to participate in the celebration banquet.

He didn't know many people, but there were a lot of people who came to congratulate him.

They all congratulate Director Li on the success of "The Hangover".

The box office of "The Hangover" was 35 million on the third day and 83 million in the first week.

Without exception, he became the weekly box office champion, and left the second place far behind.

In the second week, the word-of-mouth of "The Hangover" further fermented, attracting more people to watch it in theaters, and it got a total box office of 120 million seven days a week.

In other words, there are a total of 200 million and 3 million box office in ten days.

This achievement shocked Hollywood.

saw the box office in the first week, and everyone thought that the final box office of "The Hangover" in North America could break 200 million US dollars.

I never expected it to be completed in the second week.

In this way, the total box office in North America may be able to make tens of millions of dollars.

At a cost of 30 million, the North American box office has more than 200 million, making a lot of money.

At the same time, there is good news for the European market.

In Great Britain, France, Italy, Spanish Duck, and German and Italian moles, "The Hangover" all topped the local box office charts.

You can get a lot of money every day.

"Li is our friend, and in the future, we will give high-ranking films to his films."

"He's the world's best director of commercial films, and his films deserve to be watched."

"I'm really looking forward to the sequels to 'Hurricane Rescue' and 'The Hangover' right now."

Distributors and theater managers in Europe all expressed their recognition of Li Dadao's ability.

The box office forecasters on Rotten Tomatoes continued to push the global box office for "The Hangover," and eventually they felt that the film had a chance of reaching $470 million at the global box office.

With an investment of only 30 million US dollars, the box office has increased fifteen times, and it is definitely the most cost-effective movie in 2007.

Li Shengyao is only 27 years old, and such achievements are naturally worthy of praise and praise.

In addition, Las Vegas also presented Lee with an honorary citizen award.

In the past few days, Li Dadao can be said to be infinitely beautiful.

At this time, the celebration banquet is brightly lit, the cups are staggered, and there are many handsome men and beautiful women, which looks very lively.

The banquet here is much more casual than in the mainland.

There was a band playing all the time, and sometimes they played some light dance music, and the guests jumped straight up.

Lee Shengyao can't dance, so he naturally sits on the sidelines.

Just as he was holding a glass of water and smiling at the beauties in the hall, a burst of high heels sounded, and he saw a blonde with red lips and big waves coming.

"Lee, congratulations."

The blonde woman is not very tall, at most one meter in her early sixties.

However, the body is well proportioned, the chest is the chest, the waist is the waist, and the legs are the legs, she has very significant feminine characteristics.

And there is a charming and natural temperament, just like Monroe.

She is none other than Durant's goddess - the widowed sister Scarlett. Johnson.

Sister Widow is a Hollywood child star, she has been in the industry for a long time.

However, in the early days, it was mainly acting in literary films, even if it was a commercial movie, it was mainly a thriller.

At this time, her commercial film resources were not very good.

It's like acting in "The End of the Race" in '05 and "Black Dahlia" in '06, both of which are thriller movies, and both of them are relatively bad at the box office.

The widow's team is clearly aware of the problem.

She herself also wants to be famous and wants better commercial film resources.

Especially in 07, she acted in a comedy movie - "Nanny Diary", which grossed 25 million US dollars.

This box office is not very good in Hollywood, but it is much better than the thriller movies she acted in before.

The widow sister obviously felt that she acted in "Nanny Diary", her exposure was much higher than before, and she was even more eager to appear in better commercial films.

At this time, the widow sister came to Li Shengyao, she was wearing a blue dress, looking sexy and atmospheric.

Li Shengyao nodded, "Thank you, Scarlett." ”

"You know my name?"

The widow sister's eyes showed joy, and she looked forward to Director Li.

"Of course, I've seen a lot of your movies."

Seeing Li Shengyao's eyes open and natural, the widow sister nodded happily.

At this time, the band was playing a soft song, and her eyes lit up a little, "Lee, do you want to dance?" ”

"I won't."

"It's okay, it's easy."

The widow put down her wine glass, and then stepped forward.

Seeing this, Li Shengyao naturally put down the glass, and then gently hugged the widow's waist.

"That's it, just move naturally with the music."

There are no special dance steps, just random one after the other.

However, the widow sister is in good shape, Li Shengyao gently hugs her, and she can still feel the softness through the suit.

And the neckline of the widow's skirt is very low, and he can see two mountains when he looks down slightly.

The two of them were jumping and chatting at the same time.

In his two lives, Director Li knew almost everything about the entertainment industry, and easily gained the admiration of the widow sister.

The end of the song.

"Dah."

The widow sister's slender and well-proportioned fingers swept through Li Shengyao's trousers, and the corners of her mouth had a meaningful smile, and her eyes were also looking straight at him.

Li Dadao's crotch shook suddenly.

"Li, can I know your phone number?"

"Of course."

Li Shengyao and the widow sister then exchanged phone calls with each other.

"I'll go first, do you want to come along?"

"You go first, I'll go back later."

When the widow sister heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, she didn't expect Li Dadao to be able to hold back.

"Okay, remember to call me."

"No problem."

The widow sister really left then, and Li Shengyao watched the widow sister leave, and smiled secretly in his heart.

Scarlett. Johnson is not an ordinary girl, the person who can plan the elevator door at the age of nineteen, Li Dadao goes out with her, and tomorrow newspapers all over the United States will report that he is dating Scarlett.

And this is not in line with Li Dadao's consistent low-key style.

He didn't want to be taken advantage of.

Even if the little brother wants to eat meat, he will not act.

He's not Durant, for Scarlett. Johnson, he didn't want to touch it at all.

"Lee, what do you want?"

A nice voice sounded.

Li Dadao turned his head to look over, and it was a tall beauty with long hair and big eyes.

She is about 1.7 meters long, fair-skinned, with long hair and a shawl, like a princess.

In fact, she has played a princess, not a fairy tale princess, but a princess of modern themes.

This woman is Catwoman Anne Hathaway.

At this time, Anne Hathaway is at the peak of her appearance, she can still hold meat on her face, and her mouth doesn't look very big.

When Li Shengyao saw her, he couldn't help but think of her Catwoman's appearance.

Anne Hathaway, dressed in leather pants and leather jacket, was lying on a motorcycle, and no man could refuse.

"Hi, Annie."

The two met before at the premiere of Cheng Long's "Rush Hour 3" and chatted a few words.

"Congratulations, you're getting hotter and hotter in Hollywood."

Compared to Scarlett. Johnson, Anne Hathaway should be in a better situation, she acted in more commercial films.

For example, "The Princess Diaries" has been played twice.

And "The Queen Wears Prada" has a global box office of more than 300 million. Johnson didn't have a record at this time.

Anne Hathaway's goal is very clear, mainly commercial films, supplemented by literary films.

She acted in a literary film this year, called "Becoming Jane. Austin", this movie is not high at the box office, but it has a good reputation.

Lee raised his glass and touched Anne Hathaway.

"Thank you."

"What did you just talk to Scarlett?"

Lee looked over and met Anne Hathaway's big beautiful eyes.

She had a boyfriend at this time, a businessman who was a fool, and later her boyfriend was arrested on suspicion of tax evasion, and the two broke up.

"She wants to sleep with me."

Li Shengyao looked left and right and whispered.

"Did you say yes?"

"Of course not."

Anne Hathaway raised her glass and took a sip, "Why, isn't she beautiful?" ”

"I don't like to do publicity, you know, she's the kind of person who will spread everything, but I don't like that, my private affairs, I will take it to heart."

Anne Hathaway nodded, with appreciation in her eyes, "You're a steady person. ”

"What about you?"

"I ...... I agree with you. ”

Li Shengyao smiled and looked into her eyes, "Is there any arrangement for the evening?" ”

Anne Hathaway was originally an intellectual character, but later the big girl like the eldest cousin became popular, and the audience in the beautiful country began to think that Anne Hathaway was too fake.

She was scolded very badly, and she began to follow the character of the big girl of the magnesium country, swearing, and pointing fingers when she spoke.

But the audience in the beautiful country is still not satisfied and thinks she is pretending.

Li Shengyao felt that Anne Hathaway's personality should be relatively quiet, and her intellectual personality at the beginning was more similar to her original character.

Of course, this doesn't mean that she is a good girl, although compared to Scarlett. Johnson said she had far fewer scandals.

But she wasn't the kind of flamboyant person in the first place.

Even if she plays with flowers, she will do a good job of secrecy.

Lee Shengyao likes such an actress who knows how to advance and retreat, of course, the main thing is that he really wants to try Catwoman.

That's the woman Batman likes.

Anne Hathaway's face remained unchanged when she heard this, she looked out the window, then put down her glass and left directly.

Li Dadao smiled, put down the glass, and walked out.

For some reason, he was especially excited at this time, even more excited than he was to see Lively Ly.

It should be a big hit of "The Hangover".
