"I have nothing to say to John."

"Oh, John worked with me on his debut film "Rainy Night Butcher". He was a rookie director at the time."

"Me? I'm alright. At that time, I had already filmed several films directed by 'Han Hsiang·Li', yes, Li, who was nominated for the Palme d'Or...Actor career? It's not too bad, I have won a few It's just a film king...it's hard to say that the future is limitless, but it's OK anyway..."

"Hey——this can't be considered supporting~ Everyone is helping each other and improving each other. They are all people who love movies. It's just that I am a little older than him. I always like to help talented directors..."

"Really? Hahahaha... Then I really helped him a lot...Of course. Our relationship is very, very good, that's for sure. He was eating at my house at the time...I have always regarded him as my own brother—— Calling him is just a phone call..."

Central, the peninsula hotel cafe, the big brother is on the table, choosing the power amplifier, Liang Jiahui is wearing a light beige suit with a light beige suit, with oily hair and powder noodles, leaning on the back of the chair with his legs crossed, his face is full of confidence.

"He just returned from Peiping, he may be resting...don't worry. Sometimes, it's really me who calls—"

Cloudberry, the old Mediterranean, nodded slightly to express his approval, and Jane March next to him also expressed his expectation.

Then, the dialogue at the end of the previous chapter comes along.

Suddenly, the BGM of "A Plum Blossom" rang out in the cafeteria of the Peninsula Hotel... The faint melody paired with Liang Jiahui, who straightened up with an embarrassed face, seemed to be possessed by the tide of the sea.

It was already March, and the scene was very warm, but for some reason, when this song played, I felt a chill inexplicably.

In a hurry, he pressed it again - the other party directly hung up.

Jane March bent her head and stirred the coffee.

Claudeberry, the old bastard, picked up the comb and cleaned his hair delicately, then turned to look at the diners next to him.

"That...Mr. Bailey, the signal may be a little bit bad...so..."

"Oh, it's okay, just—"

"Thank you."

Liang Jiahui ran towards the bathroom with his eldest brother and his buttocks in his hands.

"He looked unconfident just now, really like the rich young man 'Tony' in the "Lover" you showed me." Jane March shrugged her weakened shoulders, picked up the earphones and continued to listen to the song .

"Tony's sincerity touched me. He came to Paris to talk to me about the role some time ago. His understanding is very in line with my requirements. At the same time, his appearance is indeed very similar to Southeast Asians... as long as it is more tanned, it will be OK. Moreover, his cooperation with John is indeed very tacit.”

"Then, the final reason must be because he is cheaper than Zun Long, right?"

"Of course!" Claude smiled and kissed the other party, which was very inconsistent on the scene.

But this kind of situation abounds in literary and artistic film circles, especially in Europe... If there is any literary goddess who has not shown a little bit, she will be ashamed to say hello to people when she goes out.Including those masters of Hollywood literary and independent film circles, Spike Lee, Woody Allen, each of them has nothing to talk about in terms of character and personal morality...

In this regard, the literary independent film circle is more chaotic than the mainstream film circle!

Because big productions pay more attention to efficiency, whether it is a producer or a director, it is impossible to choose to ignore the investment because of the crotch... But how many people in the independent film circle will fully consider the market? ? ?

If you look at it this way, Wu Xiaozu is really a good boy.

He has a bottom line. . . . . .

...

In the bathroom, Liang Jiahui held his hands on his phone and leaned over the receiver.

"Brother Zu, Brother Zu... I'm Xiaohui, don't be too concerned..."

"A little gray duck?"

“………… Liang-ga-hui… ah…”

"Oh, Xiaohui...what's the matter?" The sound of gnawing an apple could be heard on the phone, and one could imagine the other party's laziness at the moment.

Convex.

With two middle fingers up in his heart, he nodded and bowed with a smile on his face: "Brother Zu, I have received Mr. Bailey from here. He came to Hong Kong Island, and I arranged for him to be in Central. Look... when is it convenient for you to come over? ?”

"Beep beep..."

Liang Jiahui bowed his waist, his face was full of confusion, and he screamed messily in the smell of shit.

bang bang-

"Dude, are you also constipated?? Come...use it—have you ever seen a dam flood? It will definitely satisfy you." Suddenly, the toilet partition was knocked, and a bottle of corkscrew glycerin was handed over from the gap below.

(ω)! ? ? ?
"Uh...thank you buddy, I don't need it." Liang Jiahui refused with a wry smile.

"It's okay. Sometimes, Chrysanthemum Mouth is like squeezing the subway... Be prepared for any danger. Life is blocked, and a bottle of Kaiserlu can solve it. If it doesn't work, then just two bottles... There is no obstacle... Others can't enlighten us, we ourselves You have to know how to guide yourself.”

The buddy next to him smiled, and his laughter seemed very calm, which inexplicably made Liang Jiahui feel that this f*cking blue boy had a story, but the taste was very sour.

"thank you."

Out of nowhere, he held a bottle of ketone in his hand, and walked out of the bathroom, feeling lost...

The phone rang suddenly.

Hearing Wu Xiaozu's faint voice, for some reason, Liang Jiahui's aura is in a rare balance... Life is blocked, there is nothing that can't be solved with a bottle... You must know how to enlighten yourself... That's really good.

By the time Wu Xiaozu came to Central, it was already 40 minutes later.

As soon as you walk into the Peninsula Hotel, someone will come to guide you.

VVIP.

"Oh, dear woo, I'm finally waiting for you. You know, in order to see you, I took a plane for nearly [-] hours, and I even experienced a connecting flight in the middle. I'm so happy to see you..."

Seeing Wu Xiaozu approaching, Claude Berry greeted him with a smile and gave him a bear hug.

"Sorry, I just flew back from another place." Wu Xiaozu also quickly expressed his apology.

"Tony has already spoken to me. Man, you have such a tight schedule... It's hard to believe that a director like you is still running around and working for a year."

Cloudberry said, and took the initiative to introduce the girl next to him to Wu Xiaozu, "This is Jane March, our heroine, I wonder if you are satisfied?"

"Of course, it fits the description in the novel. I don't even think that Mrs. Duras is as beautiful as Zhen." Wu Xiaozu is also an old mille-feuille, and the producers have designated the heroine, so why should he offend others?

"During this period of time, I chose a lot of suitable roles in Paris, and at the same time contacted the staff. I plan to start shooting as soon as possible."

"Where is Duras?"

"Woo, we respect her very much, but sometimes there is a specialization in art, isn't it?"

"of course."

Wu Xiaozu breathed a sigh of relief.

"I hope you and I can fly to South Korea as soon as possible. I have already contacted the French consulate and our company to communicate, and they will give us convenience. I hope to start work as soon as possible." Claude Berry asked: "Woo, Are you okay here?"

"No problem, my new play is under post-production, and a professional team will follow up."

"That's good."

"However..." Xiaozu Wu looked at Claudeberry and said proactively, "Maybe I will fly to Cannes in late May, you know..."

"Of course, I mean, of course I know." Claude Berry took the initiative to take the conversation, looking at Xiaozu Wu with sly eyes, "I heard that your work has a strong response... I think I can help, and say indefinite……

but……"

Seeing Wu Xiaozu listening attentively, Claude Berry smiled with satisfaction, and said: "The total investment of the film "Lover" is not sufficient."

"I can reduce my remuneration by half. At the same time, my company can also help attract some Asian sponsorship and investment, and can also be responsible for distribution in Asia." Wu Xiaozu took the words with a smile, and said with a smile: "I don't know if this can be done. How about alleviating the financial pressure of "Lover"?"

"If "Seven Sins" has a good result, I think it will also be a good help for "Lover." Claude Berry said with a smile.

Even if Wu Xiaozu didn't take the initiative to speak, he would still provide some help.But that help is limited...

However, since Wu Xiaozu is on the road like this, he is of course more willing to contribute.Ghosts have never been so realistic.

Don't think that the annual film festival awards are absolutely fair, each film festival has its own set of rules.Since you want to participate, then you have to take the initiative to understand...

Exposure, publicity, and judges' taste all influence the selection of awards.There was a good movie and a bad movie, of course he was not capable of picking up a bad movie.Isn't he Harvey Weinstein?
Even Harvey, that fat man, has such and such a reason for holding water...

Lobbying is very popular in the West, including politically.

The East likes to do things in private, and everything goes without saying... In comparison, the West likes to impose a so-called rule.

Actually the essence is the same.

Cloudberg was able to provide help, which made Wu Xiaozu feel more stable.

Next, let's talk about the specific details of the drama "Lover".

Including sponsorship and investment.

Wu Xiaozu did not participate in the details here, which requires the company's professionals to coordinate.

"I'll welcome you in the evening. I specially prepared a party for you. When the time comes, I will introduce some friends from Hong Kong Island to you."

"I will definitely come as promised."

Claude Berry smiled and took the coffee and clinked the cup with Wu Xiaozu lightly, without saying a word.

The tacit understanding between the two is also the basis for the deal to be concluded.

This is not a guarantee, no one can be strong enough to guarantee an award or something... It's just that Claude Berry can use his personal connections to make "Seven Sins" less of a hindrance in France and Cannes...

Controversy is not a bad thing for movies.

But excessive debate will undoubtedly damage the film's reputation, this is not a work aimed at the box office...so word of mouth is very important.

In any case, Cannes has a strong imprint of French films. If it is really compared, "Seven Sins" may be more suitable for Venice... But Wu Xiaozu, as the nominal leader of the current Chinese film award-winning army, cannot be compared with Will Xiao Mouzi go to compete together?

The latter's "Ju Dou" has been confirmed to participate in Venice or Berlin.It depends on the speed of Xiao Mouzi...

Wu Xiaozu led the award-winning gang in Wanwan with one hand, and the award-winning army in the mainland with the other, and Wang Jiawei and Gao Li...

Is it an exaggeration to say that you are the leader? ?
