After the press conference of "Her", the crew received advance payments from five or six film companies, some of which released discs, some bought network copyrights, some bought TV broadcast rights, and a small amount of theaters for distribution.

In short, the crew of "She" successfully completed the task on this trip, and the total number of zero and zero also collected three or four million US dollars in copyright fees.

Zhang Yuanjun's main task in Cannes has also been completed, and all he has to do now is to wait for his girlfriend to get off work and attend some events from time to time.

Therefore, reporters in Cannes can often photograph Zhang Yuanjun eating alone in a restaurant, or taking his assistant to watch a movie at a film festival and shop.

It is rare to photograph Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei in the same frame.

That night, Zhang Yuanjun watched a black-and-white silent film "The Artist" alone.

Zhang Yuanjun does not have the idea that sound must be better than silence in his heart, silence and sound are just two eras of movies, and the silent film era also has classics that have left a name in film history, and even silent films have their own unique charm in terms of artistic value.

Weinstein's "The Artist" certainly had a great speculative meaning—to please the old people who had the right to speak in the academic world.

But at the same time, I have to admit that the appearance of "The Artist" in the current film industry is also a rare and valuable tribute to movies. This is also the reason why Zhang Yuanjun is willing to watch it, and it seems quite emotional to watch a new black-and-white silent film at the Cannes Film Festival in 2011.

The structure of "The Artist" is very Hollywood, and the technique also borrows from the classics of film history, of course, these Cannes will not buy it, and the Palme d'Or is not to be considered, but the performance of the actor Jean Dujardin is impressive.

Zhang Yuanjun has forgotten the results of the Cannes selection, but he remembers that "The Artist" is the biggest winner of next year's Oscars.

After watching the movie, Zhang Yuanjun walked back to the hotel alone, and in the hotel lobby, he saw Zhang Ziyi and her assistant sitting on the sofa talking.

Zhang Yuanjun wanted to walk over quickly, but it was too late, her assistant saw Zhang Yuanjun and shouted in Chinese first: "Teacher Zhang." ”

There were not many people in the hotel lobby at night, Zhang Yuanjun couldn't help but pretend to be deaf, Zhang Ziyi saw his assistant shouting so loudly, and thought he had met someone, turned his head and saw that it was Zhang Yuanjun, and beckoned to him in surprise: "You also live in this hotel?!" ”

Zhang Yuanjun didn't answer, sat down opposite her, and asked, "Did you just arrive today?" ”

"Yes, I didn't want to come this year, but I was invited to a charity dinner." Zhang Ziyi then introduced her new film "Favorite", "This dinner is to raise funds for AIDS, and the theme of "Favorite" happens to be AIDS, so I brought the film over. What about you? How are you doing in Cannes these days? ”

"I only came on the 17th, and I will be fine after the press conference on the 18th." Zhang Yuanjun chatted, "The weather in Cannes is good these days, so I should give myself a holiday." ”

"What about Yifei? She's not with you? Zhang Ziyi said.

"She? She's busier than Jacob. I don't see her all day. ”

"Then you should be a good helper." Zhang Ziyi said with a smile.

"That's all it can be." Zhang Yuanjun smiled.

Zhang Ziyi also knew that Zhang Yuanjun's heart was not here, the two chatted a few words, and Zhang Ziyi got up first and said that he was going back to the room.

Zhang Yuanjun took the elevator with her, and the two were separated on different floors.

Zhang Yuanjun entered the room, and as soon as he took a sip of water, he saw Liu Yifei and her staff coming back, and the agent muttered: "I watch that film very good, there are so many big names, you can take it." ”

Liu Yifei said: "If it's really good, they won't find me until now?" Seeing Zhang Yuanjun, he smiled, "Are you back?" ”

When her agent saw that Zhang Yuanjun was there, she didn't say anything about the film: "You guys rest, I'm leaving." He said to Liu Yifei, "Don't forget tomorrow morning's event." ”

"Okay, you can go to rest early." Liu Yifei said.

After the agent left, Zhang Yuanjun said, "What did you just say?" What film, what big name? ”

"You help me unzip it off." Liu Yifei turned around, Zhang Yuanjun stepped forward and handed the cup to Liu Yifei, and changed her clothes with his free hand.

"I just met a producer from Warner at a dinner party, saying that Warner is working on a super blockbuster, what is it called "Cloud Atlas", Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent and Hugo Weaving, anyway, there are many big names, with an investment of 100 million US dollars, and the directors are the Wachowski sisters and brothers, saying that there is a shortage of Asian female characters now, and they want to ask me to play it." Liu Yifei took off her dress and changed into a big T-shirt at home, which was much easier.

"It's good," Zhang Yuanjun already knew which movie this was, "Look at the lineup to the ceiling." ”

"Later, when I heard him tell the story of "Cloud Atlas", I couldn't understand it, six story lines, entangled with each other, messy."

"Multi-line narrative, how hot." Zhang Yuanjun said.

"Two or three multi-line narratives are enough, and six story lines are not something that can be accommodated in one movie, and I have also been a producer, so I know a little bit."

"This is something that producers and producers should consider, they just ask you to play, such a lineup, which is very attractive to actors." Zhang Yuanjun said from the perspective of an actor.

"It's very attractive, but their start time is in September, and I don't have a schedule."

"Aren't you going to have a "Pacific Rim" in the second half of the year?" Zhang Yuanjun has calculated Liu Yifei's schedule, she should be able to coordinate "Cloud Atlas".

"Yes," Liu Yifei turned on the TV and watched some reports from the film festival, "but the start of "Pacific Rim" has been postponed, it will start in November, and I will enter the group training in September. ”

"Didn't you say that it would start in July, why did you postpone it?"

"I don't know the specifics, it seems to mean that some details of the cooperation between Warner and Legend have not been negotiated, and there are some problems with preparation. If you don't wash it, if you don't wash it, I'll wash it first. Liu Yifei pressed the remote control in her hand and turned on a cartoon.

Zhang Yuanjun washed and changed to Liu Yifei to wash, and when Liu Yifei came out after washing, Zhang Yuanjun had already laid down and was ready to sleep.

Liu Yifei got into the quilt, leaned on the bed, and couldn't sleep left and right.

"Don't move around, I'm almost asleep." Zhang Yuanjun complained.

"I've had several cups of coffee during the day, and I can't sleep now." Liu Yifei muttered.

"If you can't sleep, just toss me." Boss Zhang Yuanjun was dissatisfied.

Liu Yifei said: "You are really heartless, you are fine in Cannes again, eat, drink and have fun all day long, look here and there to wander around, you are still tired, sleep so soundly." Now I'm busy with this family. ”

"Okay," Zhang Yuanjun hugged his girlfriend's waist and kissed him through the nightdress, "You work hard, can you sleep?" ”

"Didn't you notice that I got a new nightgown today?" Liu Yifei said, "I bought it in Cannes two days ago. ”

"Well, it's good." Zhang Yuanjun touched the fabric of his girlfriend's thigh with his hand, and coped, but in fact, he didn't look at it at all.

Cartoons are still on TV.

Liu Yifei smiled: "I thought of a good way to help sleep, but I need your help." ”

"As long as you sleep, I'll help you with everything."

Liu Yifei blew in Zhang Yuanjun's ear and did not speak.

Zhang Yuanjun was not sleepy all of a sudden: "You ran for a day's activities, I feel sorry for you, don't you know what to do." ”

"I don't know what to do, what can you do to me." Liu Yifei has already done it.

"Okay, this time I'll lie down and move for you."

"Nasty."
