On the 17th, in the early morning, Jiang Nan led Zhang Hanyun and Zhao Liying to Cannes...

Why come?

They are also actors in the crew of "Painted Skin"!

Why can't you come?

By the way, I also brought a girl who was newly signed...

Four people.

Plus makeup artists, costume artists, and translators, a total of eight people.

Jiang Nan is very tough, it's a big deal that the old lady pays for the room by herself!

The back is a joke, no matter how much Shen Mengxi hates her, it is impossible for her to pay out of her own pocket, and Zhao Liying and Zhang Hanyun are indeed the main creators of "Painted Skin" - the TV series version, and they are still counting on them.

......

The film festival is actually quite boring, especially in this year's main competition unit, and it seems that there is no film worth writing about!

Cannes now wants to go mainstream, and even the midnight section of has been canceled!

A lot less fun.

Shen Mengxi didn't sleep very well, and the beach not far from the hotel had a bonfire party all night...

During the film festival, a bunch of film pilgrims came with backpacks, sleeping bags...

There was no place to sleep - the hotels were all full.

Then get together and huddle together to keep warm, talk about movies all night, talk about "The Mirror", "Ivan Childhood", "Sacrifice", "Homesickness", talk about Bergman, Godard, talk about "Citizen Kane", from the lens language to the onion-like narrative structure...

Let's talk about Xing, let's have a collision between spirit and flesh!

Completely ignoring the sleeping tourists in the hotel...

In such an environment, how good can Shen Mengxi's sleep quality be?

Hearing the knock on the door in a daze, he opened the door in pajamas and pajamas, Jiang Nan looked excited: "We're here!"

“... Let's arrange accommodation as soon as possible..."

"I signed a new actress, I'm only 16 years old this year..."

Shen Mengxi ignored her, walked back to the bedroom, and continued to sleep...

It's 4 a.m.!

Jiang Nan explained a little embarrassed: "... He's too sleepy, let's rest first, and then talk about it during the day..."

This is the first time Nazha has seen Shen Mengxi, and his impression is that he is quite an ordinary man, and he doesn't think there is anything remarkable!

Jiang Nan's newly signed actress is talking about her...

......

At eight o'clock, Jiang Nan took the three actors downstairs and arrived at the hall, and then found that Shen Mengxi had already chatted with a few foreigners...

Jiang Nan couldn't quite understand what they were talking about, but he could see that the situation was intense.

I just saw Zhao Jinsong standing on the side, and hurriedly asked, "Old Zhao, what did they say?"

“... Talking about the layout of tonight's cocktail party, they are a public relations organization specializing in cocktail parties and banquets..."

"Is it a drinking party tonight?"

"Well, tomorrow we will return home..."

"Is it so urgent?"

"If you stay here for a day, you will have to spend more than 80,000 euros just on food, drink and accommodation, and you can't stay any longer..."

Jiang Nan muttered: "I still want to play for half a month..."

Zhao Jinsong pretended not to hear what she said.

Otherwise, how would he answer?

Do you like to play or not, spend your own money, let alone visit Cannes, you just go all over France and Europe, and no one cares about you!

It's really not Zhao Jinsong's search, it's really too expensive, far more than expected, during the film festival, the price of everything is rising, even Coke has risen from two euros to eight euros, like a robbery.

Over there, Shen Mengxi finally finished communicating with the person in charge, they discussed the style of the cocktail party, according to Shen Mengxi's meaning, just simply hold a buffet form of exchange cocktail party, there probably thought that he had met a local tyrant, and he had to Amway what castle...

Director Chen Da is to blame for this thing, "Wu Ji" sold overseas films that year, spent 2.5 million euros, chartered the castle, and caused a sensation in the entire Cannes!

The environment is not good this year, and it is rare to meet the big guys, of course they want to slaughter them!

By the way, the overseas failure of "Wu Ji" only trapped Chen Kaige's own credibility on the surface, but in fact, it brought the entire Chinese costume action film into an embarrassing situation in the overseas market, and even affected Ah Mou!

The Chinese-made blockbuster of "costume + action" is not a box office panacea in the eyes of overseas filmmakers, who do not trust costume action martial arts films, and dare not shoot just by watching the film, which is in an embarrassing situation.

The U.S. rights to "A City Full of Golden Armor" sold for only $20 million — you must know that his last film, "Ambush on All Sides," sold for $35 million in North America!

This is also the reason why Shen Mengxi is not too optimistic about the overseas sales of "Painted Skin" - only set a sales volume of 6 million US dollars...

It's twice as bad as the previous $10 million!

Back to the topic, Shen Mengxi and Li Yiping talked badly, so they set the cost at 600,000 euros, plus the hotel venue usage fee, equipment, personnel, wine, and food prices, totaling about 800,000 euros...

That's 200,000 less than the previous estimate of 1 million...

Li Yiping was a little regretful: "Actually, if we make it a beach party, the price can be reduced by half!"

“... Next time, the beach is contracted out for the past few days!"

Shen Mengxi is also quite like that...

It's not a lack of experience!

Turning his head and seeing Jiang Nan and his group, Shen Mengxi nodded: "Sister Nan!"

"You've finally seen me!"

Shen Mengxi didn't care about this resentful tone, and changed the topic: "... Li Ying and Han Yun's dress, did you prepare it yourself?"

"Well, we brought it from the country!"

"That's good, arrange for them to appear with Buffett Zhao and Zhou Xun in the evening!"

"Okay... Can you add one more?"

"Add one more?"

"One of my new signings is an actress named Naza... Nazha, this is our Shen producer, this is Brother Zhao and Sister Li..."

Nazha quickly got up and said hello...

Shen Mengxi looked at Nazha thoughtfully...

This Jiang Nan has a hole in his brain, not counting the conflicts between the two dramas of Zhao Liying and Zhang Hanyun, and the signing of Tong Yali and Nazha, two actors with obvious exotic styles, Obviously, there are also resource conflicts...

Aren't you afraid of tearing up in private?

As an artist, what I am most afraid of is to be two artists with similar styles, which can easily lead to conflicts between the two sides...

I used to think that she had vision and was very talented as an artist, but now it seems that she really has no plan!

Shen Mengxi shook her head very dryly: "Let her appear in the cast of "Painted Skin"... Not suitable..."

"What's wrong with this..."

"If I say it's not suitable, it's not suitable!"

Jiang Nan was choked up, but he still persevered: "Mengxi, Nazha is your loyal book lover..."

Nazha was a little nervous and stammered, "... Right... That's right, I treasure every one of your books!"

"Thank you... Let's eat," Shen Mengxi has seen a sea of book lovers in the past few years, and it is impossible to treat her differently because of this...

looked at Zhao Liying and Zhang Hanyun, who were eating obediently next to them, and Shen Mengxi admonished: "Liying, Hanyun, there will be reporters to interview you two later, no spoilers are allowed in the script!"

"So what are we talking about?"

"Let's talk about the expectations for the movie, or talk about the crew's observations, such as the relationship between Chen Kun and Buffett Zhao, the relationship between Huang Xiaoming and Buffett Zhao..."

"Oh..."

Zhang Hanyun nodded, and then continued to eat...

Jiang Nan glanced at Shen Mengxi, and no longer bothered with Naza's question: "Let's eat too..."

Nazha looked at Shen Mengxi cautiously, he was a little scary - this was Naza's second impression!
