The crew of "Three Billboards" settled down in Amphawa, and three days later, they opened an open recruitment of talents in Thai, English and Chinese to be translators.

Wang Haomin saw the notice and immediately passed with swollen eyes.

Dapeng, who was in charge of recruitment, saw Wang Haomin and asked puzzledly: "Brother, what's the matter, you beat someone?"

Wang Haomin nodded, "Yesterday, I met a few drunkards who were riding horses and littering, and I couldn't help but say a few words, so I beat them up." ”

"You...... Do you want to take a break, can you work like this? ”

Wang Haomin tried his best to keep his eyes open, and although it hurt, he still said: "It's a small meaning, a manly man, this little injury is nothing." ”

"Where's your homestay?"

When it comes to homestays, Wang Haomin is a little sad, mainland tourists are more generous, and there are many people, but they generally live in hotels, and few people live in homestays.

Some old white men, poor ghosts in Europe and the United States like to live in homestays.

These people are very economical, they can't wait to spend every penny, and they steal toothbrushes and slippers to seduce his wife.

After a month, the B&B barely made ends meet, saving a few thousand yuan, and couldn't make a lot of money at all.

If he hadn't owed millions in the bend, he would have left here a long time ago.

The bitterness poured into my heart, tears slipped down unconsciously, and my swollen eyes hurt even more.

Dapeng of the dog day, why did you mention this.

Dapeng didn't know Wang Haomin's thoughts, and was very sympathetic when he saw this, "Brother, it's okay, we know that you are a talent, the crew of "Three Billboards" agreed that you should be the translator, come, sign the contract." ”

After signing the contract, Dapeng asked Wang Haomin to wait, and soon there were five people, three boys and two girls, all of whom were talents who knew three languages, Thai, and English.

Dapeng then said: "Now there are three jobs, one is to follow us as a director, and when he is his personal translator, he needs a person.

The second is in the crew, responsible for communicating with the local group performance, which requires four people.

The third is to help the crew to operate in Bangkok, we need to apply for some filming permits, as well as contact local government agencies, we need a person.

What do you guys think? You can say it. ”

Wang Haomin's eyes rolled.

Following Li Shengyao, it should be the busiest, not only to shout on the set, but also to socialize.

As a bent person, he hated Chinese entertainment very much and felt that it was feudal dross.

He didn't want to toast some messy people.

It's quite free to go to Bangkok, but I can't take care of the homestay business.

It's better to be a translator in the crew, command those local group performances, and maybe be a middleman to make money.

So Wang Haomin stood up, "I want to stay in the crew and do things." ”

Dapeng sighed that Wang Haomin was a good man, he was injured and still working, and he had the heart to help, he blinked, "Have you thought it through?" ”

Wang Haomin's eyes were swollen, his vision was not very clear, and he squinted for a while before realizing that Dapeng was winking at him.

What does that mean, does it imply that you choose another position?

He thought about it for a while, and thought that crooked variety shows often appeared to remind simple villagers to be careful of the fake kindness in the mainland, so he ignored it and chose to ignore it.

So one girl became Lee Shengyao's personal translator, another girl chose to go to Bangkok to deal with those permit issues, and four boys contacted the local group performers in the crew.

After the distribution, Dapeng gave Wang Haomin a cigarette, "Brother, I just gave you a look, didn't you see it?" ”

"No, I thought you had uncomfortable eyes."

Wang Haomin engaged in telephone fraud at the bend, and when he lied, he didn't move a single hair on his body.

Dapeng naturally couldn't see it, and nodded, "It must be better to follow my master as a personal translator, and you can learn a lot of knowledge." ”

Bullshit, who wants to learn knowledge.

Sure enough, it was fake kindness, and Lao Gong was uneasy and kind.

Wang Haomin happily became the translator in the crew, and the crew of "Three Billboards" quickly recruited Tyrande to perform in the group, and found a total of 80 people, four of them translators, each in charge of 20 people.

This made Wang Haomin very proud and felt very majestic, and reminded him of the glorious years when he was the leader of the crooked fraud team a few years ago, pretending to be Hu Jianren, and calling the people in the mainland to commit fraud.

Soon after, "Three Billboards" was officially launched, and Zhang Manyu, as well as Ren Dahua, as well as Song Zuer, and William Chan were present.

Zhang Manyu is the female number one.

There is no male protagonist in this movie, and Ren Dahua plays the chief of the town's police department, which is the most important supporting role.

Song Zuer and William Chan are both actors who have brought money into the group, playing the sons and daughters of the heroine respectively.

Song Zuer's play is only one minute, and William Chan's play is about three minutes.

Wang Haomin knows Zhang Manyu and Ren Dahua, but he has no impression of Song Zuer and William Chan, he pouted, thinking that this drama is not very good, there is no Liu Dehua, and there is no Lin Qingxia.

He then stretched his neck and waited for Li Shengyao to send out the red envelope.

After a burst of firecrackers, Wang Haomin received the red envelope and found that there were 300 baht inside, about 60 yuan.

Stepping on a horse, he is really stingy, with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars, giving such a small red envelope.

Wang Haomin then asked about the red envelopes of those local group performances, and found that they were all 300 baht, and he was even more angry.

Riding a horse, what else do you say about a family, don't give a little more to your own people, do you have a conscience?

Wang Haomin then noticed that Li Shengyao was quite good at buying people's hearts, and chatted with local group performers, and couldn't help laughing.

"It's tiring to follow this stingy ghost, but fortunately I didn't choose to be his personal translator that day.

If you are as smart as I am, you can't afford to lose. ”

After the start of "Three Billboards", Wang Haomin's work became busy, and most of Tyrande's local group performers came from Bangkok, and they all had acting experience, so they can still be qualified for performance work.

The performance style of Thai drama is very exaggerated and exaggerated.

However, Tyrande movies are a normal way of acting, and these group performances can also be performed.

Just like Wang Haomin predicted, following Lee Shengyao's personal translator is obviously busier than others, in addition to delivering Lee Shengyao's words on the set, he is also responsible for receiving stars from Tyrande.

On the morning of this day, TAE, a star of Tyrande, who had filmed TV series in Wanwan and the mainland, came to the crew and visited Li Shengyao.

Wang Haomin felt that this guy was a little familiar, and then remembered that TAE had acted in TV series in Wanwan and the mainland.

When TAE was leaving, he also gave gifts, not only Li Shengyao, Zhang Manyu, and Ren Dahua, several assistant directors, and the female translator.

The gift is in the gift bag, and I don't know what it is.

Wang Haomin felt that it was quite heavy, and his eyes were about to pop out.

A day later, Tyrande actress Pichaya. Wattana Mondiri came to the set of "Three Billboards", visited Lee Shengyao, and took a photo with Lee Shengyao.

Another day passed, and Tyrande actress Kamani. Jemmicon came to the set of "Three Billboards", visited the crew, and had lunch with Li Shengyao, Zhang Manyu and others.

In the following filming period, Tyrande's stars came to visit in an endless stream, at least one a day, and at most three or four a day. Song Ticha, the hottest actor Jesse Dabang. Fuldy has come to visit.

Tyrande's kung fu star Tony Jia has also been on set.

At the beginning, Wang Haomin saw a graceful figure, and the charming and cute female stars would scold in a low voice.

"Li Shengyao, will this dog sleep with them, it's so cool, damn, I'm not as good as Li Shengyao."

Later, too many celebrities came, and most of them would bring small gifts, and Wang Haomin's heart was completely occupied by envy and jealousy.

The unknown female translator with a mediocre appearance and a useless figure followed Li Shengyao to get a lot of gifts and group photos.

Many fans bought these gifts at a high price on the Internet and took photos.

Wang Haomin went home and checked, if the female translator was willing to sell all those group photo gifts, she could earn at least 10,000 US dollars.

Who would have thought that Lee Shengyao would be so popular?

These Tyrande stars are too, too flattering!

Don't kneel, stand up, two Palme d'Or only.

In a twilight when the sky was full of light and birds were singing, Wang Haomin ignored his wife's flirting with an old white man, closed the door and hid in the toilet, he thought of the hint that Dapeng had given him, but he didn't cherish it, and couldn't help but shed tears of remorse.

……

One afternoon in late April, Li Shengyao was lying in the lounge, he didn't sleep, he just closed his eyes and thought about things.

Last night his assistant received a phone call that Apichatpong would come to visit the class today, and he had just received a message from Apichatpong that he was coming soon.

Apichatpong is Tyrande's best director, having won the Grand Jury Prize and the Palme d'Or at Cannes.

Lee Shengyao won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, and the two of them met back in Cannes, and they both now have labels and are considered film directors of the Cannes faction.

It makes sense that Apichatpong came to visit the class.

Lee Shengyao didn't think about Apichatpong, he was thinking about another thing.

The Cannes Film Festival officially sent him an invitation to participate in this year's Cannes Film Festival as the guest of honor for Best Actress.

They're working on Three Billboards, and everything is going very well.

The actors were so good that he wasn't sure if he would make time to go to Cannes.

Just when Li Shengyao was thinking, Apichatpong came over, he once went to study in a beautiful country, his English is very good, and the two of them don't need a translator to communicate.

"Lee, I'm so glad you're here to film in Tyrande."

"When you have time, you must go to Bangkok, I will take you to experience the fun places in Bangkok."

"I'm going to Cannes next month, are you going?"

Apichatpong is 43 years old this year, he doesn't care much about accidents, he wears a pair of glasses, thin, about 1.7 meters, and a little lost.

Watching his movies, you will feel that this person should be the image of Wenqing.

In fact, Apichatpong is very broken and talks a lot, he opens the chatterbox, then he is like a Yanjing girl, he can talk for three days and three nights.

Li Shengyao smiled and poured tea for Apichatpong, invited Apichatpong to a seat, and then chatted with him.

In addition to the two of them, there are also assistants, translators, and assistant directors who also came.

Apichatpong is a homosexual, and Tyrande's media is also very gossipy, and if Lee Shengyao had met with Apichatpong alone, the scandal about the two men would have appeared in Tyrande's newspaper the next day.

If someone else is present, it's fine.

It's still very comfortable to chat with Apichatpong.

Apichatpong longed for freedom, he openly said that he hated the obedience of the Tyrandes, and he did not have a good impression of the three East Asian countries, after all, all three countries valued dignity and inferiority.

However, when Apichatpong was young, the movie had a great influence on him.

He publicly said that the first movie in his heart is Cai Mingming's "Not Scattered", and the second place is Yang Dechang's "Kuling Street Juvenile Homicide".

Li Shengyao chatted with Apichatpong about good movies, and they could talk all afternoon.

They talked about next month's Cannes Film Festival, and Apichatpong made it clear that he would go.

Li Shengyao said his thoughts, "I'm not sure, my movie is being filmed. ”

Apichatpong stopped talking, he couldn't hold back his words, and quickly said: "Lee, Tyrande's film is so bad, I need to stand on the top stage of world cinema."

I've always been obsessed with Cannes in the past, and this year I'll be at the Venice Film Festival.

I'm going to send a message to people in other countries that Tyrande is working hard so that the judges don't think Tyrande is a cinematic desert.

Again, I want to give an example and confidence to other Tyrande filmmakers.

I need to show up in Cannes, in Venice. ”

Li Shengyao paused slightly, he didn't expect Apichatpong to have such an idea.

Mainland movies don't need him to stand on the platform, after all, there are many mainland film talents, and they can win awards every once in a while.

However, he often appears, which can indeed give more impression points to the judges and the audience, so that Chinese films may be able to participate in the competition in the future.

He looked at Apichatpong and thought about next month's trip to Cannes.

……

The 2013 Cannes Film Festival was much like previous years, with star directors from all over the world gathering to walk the red carpet and promote their films.

However, in the hearts of mainland audiences, this year's film festival is extraordinarily lively.

In the past few years, with her Cannes red carpet photos, Zhu Bingbing has overwhelmed all female stars, and has been hyped in the mainland, gaining extremely high topics and traffic.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and mainland actresses quickly know the routines of Zhu Bingbing.

So more actresses went to Cannes to walk the red carpet.

At this year's Cannes Film Festival, the Red Carpet Legion of China Entertainment was very grand, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Shu Qi, Tang Wei, Zhang Yuqi, Zhu Bingbing, Baoqiang, Ma Rong, Chen Kun, Li Yuxuan, Zhou Xun, Zhao Yanzi, and Da Mi Mi and so on.

Among them, Zhang Yuqi took the lead, wearing a fruit green dress, known as stunning Cannes, and took the lead in the mainland Internet.

When Li Shengyao took the plane to Cannes, he saw Zhang Yuqi's announcement, looking at the two big basketballs exposed in the photo, Director Li was slightly moved, this woman is boxing and boxing, it is indeed expected.

Zhang Manyu will also participate in this year's Cannes Film Festival awards gala, and the two will fly on the same plane.

She had a lot of friends here in France, so she got off the plane and went to visit them.

She also invited Li Shengyao, but Li Shengyao refused.

Li Shengyao got off the plane, and then went directly to the hotel he booked, and just put his things away, he received a call from Da Mi Mi, and then the two met in the hotel restaurant.

Da Mi Mi usually doesn't wear long skirts, just a simple openwork white shirt, with light blue jeans and white sneakers, she is at the peak of her appearance at this time, but she is very good-looking.

"Brother, why are you wearing a mask?"

Li Shengyao went out and subconsciously put on a mask.

He heard the disgusted tone in Da Mi Mi's voice, rolled his eyes and said: "You little rookie doesn't have any popularity overseas, I'm different, I have fans." ”

Da Mi Mi chuckled.

"I'm going to die laughing if I have any popularity."

In the past few days, she has seen the influence of Chinese stars in Cannes, except for Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, the others are basically nothing.

Zhang Yuqi and Bingbing competed for beauty, but local fans and the star directors who participated in the competition did not know them at all.

Li Shengyao smiled, "That's because you haven't seen my brother's charm." ”

He then ordered two servings of rice, ordered three dishes and one soup, and Da Mi Mi sat down opposite Li Shengyao, and then while eating, he told interesting stories about the past few days in Cannes, giggling from time to time.

I have to say that the stars of China Entertainment are really showing, and Zhang Yuqi and Zhu Bingbing are glamorous to each other.

Baoqiang and Ma Rong also want to rub the heat, when walking the red carpet, Baoqiang Ma Rong suddenly stopped, and then Baoqiang half-knelt on the ground, Ma Rong smiled shyly, with affection.

Da Mi Mi laughed after speaking.

Li Shengyao picked up the bowl, took a sip of soup, and then said: "It should be on the hot search, the task of the brand." ”

Da Mi Mi nodded, "It's definitely on." ”

She paused, and there was envy in her tone, "So many celebrities are all here to be funny, only Li Yuying is different, she came with Lafayette, and her fashion resources are good." ”

Li Yuxuan's fashion resources are indeed very good, those in the fashion circle in Europe and the United States like this one, and they like neutral stars.

Perhaps except for Zhang Manyu, other international brand endorsements of actresses in the Chinese entertainment industry are not as many as Li Yuyu.

Like Da Mi Mi, Liu Shishi, these little flowers have almost no luxury endorsements.

However, Li Shengyao knows that this batch of small flowers after the 85th generation is actually more or less a little.

In another ten years, the post-90s and post-00s flowers will be really miserable, the endorsement will be weaker, and going to Cannes on the red carpet is like stealing her mother's clothes, one by one without aura.

Da Mi Mi said while eating, his feet were not honest, and he always touched Li Shengyao's shoes.

He glanced at Da Mi Mi, and then said, "Do you want to follow me around and see my influence." ”

"Cut."

"You little rookie still don't believe it, follow me later, let you understand what an international director is."

After a while, the two of them had eaten and went out together.

Li Shengyao took off his mask, "Look at it, fans will soon find you." ”

In Da Mi Mi's eyes, in less than five minutes, some fans stepped forward to ask if it was Li Shengyao himself, and then hoped that he would sign a group photo.

This is just the beginning, and soon some actors and artists from other countries recognized Li Shengyao and stepped forward excitedly, saying that they were fans and hoped that Director Li would remember them.

"Lee, I really like your movies, I'm from Sweden and my name is Sussan. Doronte, I'm an actor, please remember me. ”

One starlet from Sweden was particularly excited.

Then they also saw a photo of Li Shengyao on the big screen in the square in the center of Cannes, and on the scrolling electronic display, they saw the news of Li Shengyao's arrival in Cannes broadcast on the local TV station.

Da Mi Mi was stunned, "Brother, why are you like a big star?" ”

"I said I'm hot, do you think you're joking?"

Da Mi nodded and gave a thumbs up in admiration.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps behind the two people, but it was two strong men in suits and leather shoes running over.

Da Mi Mi was startled, shrunk to the side and didn't dare to speak, she regretted not bringing the assistant out.

"Lee, can you wait?"

These two strong men are the bodyguards of the one-way combination of the British Idol boy group, and when they heard that Lee Shengyao was here, they hoped that Lee Shengyao would wait and let the one-way group come over and take a photo with Lee Shengyao.

The one-way group only debuted in 2010 and is very popular.

As far as Li Shengyao's aesthetics are concerned, he really doesn't think these handsome people are far from the backstreet boys and Xicheng boys he heard about when he was a child.

But people are fire, and it's a mess of fire, and it's very hot in a beautiful country.

It's like this all over the world, aesthetic downgrade.

Not long after, a few little brothers trotted over, looking at their sincerity with admiration and sweat on their foreheads, Li Shengyao took a photo with a few people in the one-way group, and gave them autographs, then chatted for a while, patted the little brothers on the shoulder, and then left with Da Mi Mi.

"I'll go, brother, you...... Why are you so hot? I feel that this group is more enthusiastic than the fans. ”

Li Shengyao smiled, "This group will be disbanded in six or seven years at most, and maybe they will be actors and act in movies at that time, and taking photos with me can improve their qualifications."

And the chief jury seal of this year's Cannes is Spielberg, Lao Mouzi, Wong Kar-wai, and Ang Lee have all served as the chief jury seal of the film festival.

As long as I don't die early, sooner or later I will be the chief seal of the jury, this is power.

You haven't participated in the Cannes Film Festival competition, you can't understand how difficult it is to win a prize, hundreds of new films that have not been released before, choose 20 and put them in the final selection, and count the number of hands that can win the award.

Think about Brother Kai Zi, a Palme d'Or, who has been the second director in the mainland for 20 years. ”

He paused, then smiled: "And I am now second only to Lao Mouzi, the second director in the mainland." ”

When Da Mi Mi heard this, the fox laughed and blinked, thinking about whether to give some benefits and rub the glory of an international director.
