New York 1988
Chapter 113 Sophie Marceau
Chapter 113 Sophie Marceau
What Woody Allen asked Han Sheng to talk about was the film censorship system.
Well, this is the most important reason why big names like Woody Allen and Francisco Coppola appeared in Cannes.
Then, this year's Cannes will hold the first edition of the "Film Freedom" forum.
And the purpose of this forum is to protest against all forms of censorship that still exist in the world.
Note, yes all forms of censorship.
You know, the United States also had a hierarchical review system in 68.
But what is its real purpose?It's very simple, not for the American mainland, but for the film market of other countries.
The most fundamental purpose is to pave the way for the United States to unscrupulously export various values through movies.
This was not guessed by Han Sheng himself, but when Reagan retired and returned to California, when he went to a dinner party, Reagan accidentally mentioned it to him, and asked him to cooperate with Woody Allen and others.
That being the case, Han Sheng naturally had nothing to say.
He was very impassioned, saying that he would use his popularity and charisma to go all out for this task.
……
After chatting for more than half an hour, communicating about the relevant schedule and the work to be done by each of them, Han Sheng left first.
After he returned to the hotel where he was staying, he planned to see what Jennifer Aniston had planned for shopping or fun, but who knew that this place was already empty.
That being the case, he was going to go to Cindy Crawford.
This goblin lives in a luxury villa rented out by the sea.
As soon as he thought of the villa by the sea, he could think of all the surprises Cindy Crawford had prepared for him, and suddenly his heart was about to move, and he subconsciously quickened his pace.
As soon as he left the hotel, he came to the street and was about to walk towards the seaside villa. When he met a beautiful woman, he was taken aback for a while and greeted him with a smile, "Hi, Vincent, what a coincidence?"
Han Sheng also pretended to be taken aback, although he recognized this pink beauty as Sophie Marceau, "Uh, you are?"
"Ah," Sophie Marceau felt a little embarrassed. She was quite famous in Europe, so she meant that Han Sheng should know her.
Then I realized that being famous in Europe does not mean being famous in the United States.
What's more, Han Sheng hasn't been in the film industry for long, and I'm afraid that the beauties in the American film industry don't know too well.
So, I introduced myself: "Well, my name is Sophie Marceau, and I am a film actor in France!"
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Han Sheng patted his forehead, "I thought you were my female fan or something!"
"Hahaha, actually it counts!" Sophie Marceau giggled, "You are quite famous here, your song "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)" won our French The leaderboard here has been champion for several weeks!"
"Everything I Do (I Do It For You)" is much more popular than "I Will Always Love You" in Europe. It is also because of this that it has driven the sales of Han Sheng's other records in Europe. Therefore, in March this year At the time of the settlement, Han Sheng received a huge sum of over 4000 million from the European side.
"Um, are you here to participate in the film festival?" Han Sheng asked.
"No, we don't have any films to participate in, I'm here to learn!" Sophie Marceau shook her head, "This is a big day for us French filmmakers, so we naturally have to come over to watch and learn!"
"By the way, what about you, why are you?"
"I have a movie to participate in!" Han Sheng said.
"Ah, have you made a new movie yet?" Sophie Marceau seemed to be somewhat familiar with him.
"No," Han Sheng shook his head, "It's a movie I bought at the Saint Denis Film Festival!"
"What's the name, am I lucky enough to see it?" Sophie Marceau asked.
"Of course, it's called Surnames, Lies, and Videotapes," Han Sheng said.
"Wow, listening to this name, I feel very vigorous!" Sophie Marceau said playfully without any embarrassment.
She really deserves to be a French woman.
Then, she asked, "Where are you going now?"
Naturally, Han Sheng couldn't say that I was going to go to the seaside villa to receive the gifts from the beauty preparation account, so he changed his mind, "This is my first time here, and I'm going to go shopping...!"
Sophie Marceau smiled, "In this case, let me, the landlord, entertain you. I am quite familiar with this place!"
Then, she came up to hold his arm in a slightly intimate way, "Is this okay?"
"It's my honor!" Han Sheng also smiled.
If there is a beautiful woman who is willing to put your arms around you, then why not.
The weather is fine today. It looks like 26 degrees in the afternoon. Sophie Marceau is wearing a simple white shirt and a pair of off-white jeans. She is very casual and everyday. She is also very clean and refreshing, making her look more natural and beautiful.
Well, the main thing is to look good, so it’s over if you look good in whatever you wear.
While walking forward and chatting, Han Sheng asked casually: "How long have you been an actor, and how many works have you acted in?"
"Um, I started out as a commercial shooter, and then I became an actor when I was 14 years old. The works are not bad, more than a dozen, and I have won a few awards...!" Sophie Marceau seemed to be interviewing It's the same as your resume, and it's very detailed.
And, obviously, a little proud of his own success.
Of course, she also has the qualifications to be proud. Not only did she shoot various commercials and movies very early, she also won several awards last year, officially becoming a well-known and popular female star in Europe.
And she's only 22 now.
"Wow, I didn't expect you to be so good. I was really rude just now!" Han Sheng praised half-truthfully.
Then he took advantage of the situation and said: "I think your image and temperament are pretty good. Have you considered developing in the past in the United States?"
Isn't Sophie Marceau waiting for such words?
When she introduced herself like that before, she naturally wanted to attract Han Sheng's attention, and then hugged this super thigh.
As for why Han Sheng is said to be a super thigh, he is still so famous.
It's very simple. Isabelle Adjani's Oscar winner and best foreign language film awards just won are the best and most powerful proof.
Originally, Europe thought Isabel Adjani was hopeless.
After all, it was Oscar, and it was run by the Americans, so it was natural that they should take care of their own people.
Who knew it was an upset.
Then everyone knew that it was Han Sheng who gave her public relations.
As for why they helped her with public relations, few people cared. What most people cared about was that Han Sheng had that ability.
That's amazing.
Can write a good script, can produce a super blockbuster movie, and then win an Oscar in public relations, good guy, isn't this a super thigh in the film industry.
For European female stars who yearn for Hollywood, it is even more fatally attractive.
Sophie Marceau is also a normal person, she naturally hopes to sit on the throne of Oscar's best actress, and then enjoy the infinite scenery on top of the world.
Look at Isabel Adjani's high-spiritedness now, the kind that is touted in various ways, it is simply a national treasure of France.
Therefore, don't say that Han Sheng took the initiative to mention it, if he didn't mention it, she was going to recommend herself later.
Of course, she took the initiative to mention it, and she was a little more reserved, bit her lip, and put on the cutest and attractive look, "Can I?"
"Of course you can, especially your English is fluent!" Han Sheng is telling the truth. Sophie Marceau is proficient in French and English, unlike some European actresses, even if she can speak, if it is not too strong accent, Or it's not good to say.
Well, except for the British accent.
People in the United States think that the British accent is noble.
……
The Croisette Avenue, where the Palais des Nations, the main venue of Cannes, is the most famous seaside boulevard in Cannes. It stretches for two kilometers, is extremely wide and very clean.
On one side of the road is the blue and wide sea of the Mediterranean Sea and the beautiful silver-white sandy beach. Uh, in fact, the most eye-catching men are some bold beauties with bare bodies on the beach, and some even get very excited after seeing him. He raised his lantern to greet him.
On the other side of the road, there are green belts and tall palm trees, and then there are various commercial areas such as high-end hotels, apartments, restaurants, luxury brand stores and so on.
The afternoon was sunny and refreshing, and Sophie Marceau looked very excited, especially when some reporters came up to Han Sheng and asked him if this was his new girlfriend or something.
Han Sheng didn't deny or admit it, but this kind of attitude satisfied the reporter the most, because he could make up whatever he wanted, and it seemed that Han Sheng didn't care at all.
Uh, Han Sheng has always let go of scandals, unless some guys want to frame him.
Han Sheng is a big star, and he is well-known all over the world. As soon as his news came out, then, wouldn't she, Sophie Marceau, take advantage of the trend and occupy the media pages all over the world? As a star, the most important thing is exposure.
Only with exposure can you become popular, and with popularity, you can slowly enjoy various benefits, such as various opportunities to make movies, such as crazy commercials, all kinds of money to earn hand cramps and so on.
Leslie Cheung once said that for a woman in the entertainment industry, no matter how noble she pretends to be, her vanity is absolutely out of bounds.
Han Sheng felt that this was quite reasonable.
For a while, when Sophie Marceau was introducing, there was a sudden pause, next to Chanel's store, in the store window, there was a model wearing an off-white floral skirt, well, mainly the skirt .
It looks like an ordinary off-white floral style, but its texture is surprisingly delicate. It looks much more upscale than others of the same style, even at least as much as a few streets away.
It's really beautiful, even in Han Sheng's eyes.
"Do you like it?" Han Sheng smiled.
"Ah, no!" Sophie Marceau shook her head immediately after being taken aback.
However, Han Sheng grabbed her and walked in, and smiled at the beautiful waitress who came out, "Bring me the one in the window, uh, it's suitable for this beautiful lady!" A guide to Sophie Marceau.
"Ah, no more!" After all, it was the first time we met, so she would be embarrassed to accept a gift even if Han Sheng was generous.
Even if she doesn't mind having a friendly match with Han Sheng at all.
She is the kind of beauty whose old lady is greedy for your body.
"Try it," Han Sheng smiled slightly, and pointed to a very fashionable sun visor on the wall. He said to the shopping guide, "Bring that too!" Then he said to Sophie Marceau: "That dress should look pretty good, and the sun just happens to be a little bit hot now...!"
Seeing that he was serious, Sophie Marceau stopped being pretentious, took the skirt and changed it freely.
After a while, I changed it out, and then put on the hat, oh, what a fashionable and beautiful Xia RI girl, it really feels like a new look.
How should I put it, I used to have a delicate and pleasant appearance, but in front of my eyes are fashionable and beautiful shapes, different styles, but if the appearance is off the charts, each has its own style, which makes people drool.
"Bring another pair of shoes!" Han Sheng then asked the waiter to bring over a pair of sandals studded with diamonds.
It fits so well. After Sophie Marceau tried it, her eyes lit up, and she sincerely praised, "I didn't expect you to know fashion so well!"
The female shopping guide next to him seemed no stranger to Han Sheng, and said with a smile: "It should be said that Vincent really understands women, and he knows every style to death!"
Han Sheng was delighted, and he pinched the face of this playful female shopping guide, "Honey, you can really talk!"
The female shopping guide in the luxury store has an online beauty, and she gave him a flirtatious look, her eyes were hot, it was so simple, it was almost like asking if we could find a place to have a friendly match or something.
After going out, Sophie Marceau was giggling, "In France, if you flirt with someone and then leave, that would be very rude!"
"I didn't tease her, I just praised her!" Han Sheng laughed.
Sophie Marceau also smiled, but stopped talking about this, but looked at the beautiful skirt and shoes on her body, "By the way, I haven't said thank you yet. By the way, this is too precious...!"
The clothes, shoes and sun hat cost less than [-] knives in total.
According to the current exchange rate between the US dollar and the French franc of about 1:6, it is equivalent to more than one hundred thousand francs.
Sophie Marceau has just become a little popular in France, but this is Europe, or France. If she is a little popular in this kind of place, it is not worth mentioning. For example, the salary of one of her films is only 50 francs.
This is also the reason why she took a fancy to the skirt but was reluctant to buy it.
This is also the reason why she wanted to go to Hollywood to become famous.
In the past, even if Isabelle Adjani was popular in France and Europe, the salary for a film was 600 million to 800 million francs, which is about 100 million US dollars.
Now, at least $300 million is required.
Twenty thousand dollars is a lot for Sophie Marceau, but it is nothing to Han Sheng who has almost hundreds of millions of dollars in cash.
"Just count it as the tour guide fee I paid you!" Han Sheng smiled.
"Can I still do this?" Sophie Marceau is not hypocritical, "Is that why I will be your tour guide for the next few days?"
This has obvious hints, Han Shengyile, "If you have time, it's my honor!"
When Sophie Marceau heard this, she gave him a sneaky look, then hugged his arm a little harder, and her footsteps were even more joyful.
……
During the Cannes Film Festival, there were many people on Croisette Avenue, especially journalists. Even if Han Sheng and Sophie Marceulant had concubines, they couldn't just sneak there for a friendly match or something.
Besides, Cindy Crawford has been waiting there.
If you wait too long, you will get angry.
So, seeing that the time was almost up, Han Sheng first found an excuse to say goodbye to Sophie Marceau.
Sophie Marceau secretly glanced at the few reporters and a large group of fans who were still following, and knew that the situation was not allowed. When saying goodbye, she hugged him and whispered in his ear: "I live in the Marriott Hotel The 9th floor...!"
Marriott Hotel, that's where I live.
Oh, isn't this a god-sent opportunity, close to the water.
Han Sheng grinned all of a sudden, and then secretly hinted that he would go there when he had time.
……
The seaside villa rented by Cindy Crawford is not far from the Croisette Avenue. It was originally rented out to wealthy celebrities. The villa is just like a hotel, and the facilities are very complete. It is really Twist the bag to move in, from food and drink to use, the kind that you don't have to worry about anything.
Han Sheng followed Cindy Crawford's prompt, and when he arrived at the villa, it was just getting dark, but the villa was brightly lit, and there were many mermaids playing in the big swimming pool outside the villa.
Especially the various headlights and small lights, which are extraordinarily dazzling.
When they first saw Han Sheng appear, the girls were startled, thinking it was a stranger, and then they all giggled.
They were all from Cindy Crawford's new modeling agency.
By the way, this modeling agency is newly opened by Han Sheng and Cindy Crawford.
Among them, Han Sheng paid 1000 million knives, and then seven or eight wealthy children like Daniel and William spent a total of 1000 million knives. Cindy Crawford didn't pay a penny, but still accounted for 20.00% of the shares.
However, Han Sheng took 1000% of the 40.00 million shares in her hands, so she actually holds a total of 60.00% of the shares in the new model agency.
Because of Han Sheng and Daniel and other rich sons as backers, although it only started in January this year, Cindy Crawford has completely pulled up the facade. In the four major fashion weeks in February and March, she won the major Luxury brands made a lot of catwalk orders and made a lot of money.
In addition to her own rising net worth of nearly 500 million, more than 30 newcomers under her banner also earned almost 300 million.
"Come down and play...!" When he got to the pool, two mischievous people grabbed his hand and pulled him into the pool.
The others were also excited to catch him.
If you really went in, it would really be a bit like Rouchi Roulin.
Uh, although it seems that he is not without absurdity.
But when he saw Cindy Crawford appearing at the gate of the villa, he resolutely refused.
Cindy Crawford was also there laughing and cursing, "Bichi, let go of your hands!" Then she stepped forward and pulled him away.
At the entrance of the villa, a beautiful woman came out: Monica Bellucci.
This is an acquaintance, uh, no, someone I know.
Cindy Crawford didn't know, so she took the initiative to introduce: "This is a new model signed by our company," and then said to Han Sheng meaningfully: "However, she prefers acting or something!"
Well, in the original time and space, Monica Bellucci left the law school of the University of Perugia last year and became a model, and this year, she will start studying acting in New York.
Unexpectedly, it is now in the hands of Cindy Crawford.
Judging by what the goblin meant, this was probably a surprise gift.
In other words, the wild beauty of Monica Bellucci, known as Italy's national treasure beauty, can really arouse men's desire to conquer, not to mention the figure, how many men are coveted.
"Hi, Vincent!" Monica Bellucci was a little excited to see him, and she was a little eager to try. Like many Western women expressing intimacy, she put her hand on his arm.
Looking at the shining eyes, Han Sheng was also happy, "Hello, Monica!"
Cindy Crawford next to him smiled and winked at him, and then said: "What do you drink, oh, you should be hungry at this point, why don't we go to the lawn to have a barbecue and eat, I'm here to prepare A lot!"
Sure enough, she is a woman who understands him and is considerate.
Han Sheng really liked her so much, he put his arms around her and kissed her, then patted her buttocks, "Then prepare to eat first!"
"That's right, otherwise I won't have the energy to wait a while!" Cindy Crawford giggled.
"Who do you look down on?" Han Sheng squeezed her hard.
Cindy Crawford was a little bit on fire because of him, but she restrained herself and said to Monica Bellucci, "You stay with him first, I'll get someone to prepare food!"
……
"When did you arrive in New York?" Han Sheng asked casually when he took a glass of red wine from Monica Bellucci.
"In March!" Monica Bellucci sat on his lap naturally, her eyes were still looking at his extremely strong muscles with interest, and she wanted to reach out and feel it carefully.
"Why do you suddenly want to be an actor? Have you ever done this before?"
"No, but, I understand the modeling industry very well. Even if you become a supermodel like Cindy, it is difficult to survive for a long time. I mean, the modeling industry really eats youthful food...! "
As expected of a talented student who has studied in law school, Monica Bellucci not only has beauty and body, but also brains.
Moreover, she is obviously an ambitious woman who knows what she wants.
After chatting for a while, Cindy Crawford brought out all kinds of food and drink. Han Sheng patted Monica Bellucci who was sitting on his lap, telling her to get up first, and he followed suit. Help everyone set up the grill together, and then turn on the fire and start roasting.
It was past six o'clock, and the girls were all hungry.
The girls in the swimming pool also went ashore, but they were still very frank.
This is a very common situation for them.
For example, the backstage of every catwalk, not to mention the above, this era still pays attention not to affect the shape of the whole clothes because of the small pants, so, many times, they are completely honest.
Han Sheng is not surprised.
While grilling, eating, and casually chatting with the big guys.
When it was almost eight o'clock, it was finally considered full of wine and food, and a large group of girls who came for vacation also ran away, some went to the beach to play, some went into the house and so on.
Cindy Crawford was the only one around him, and even Monica Bellucci went into the house to change into her bathing suit.
"It's tiring to start a company," Cindy Crawford said while eating the mangoes he fed, "I don't plan to recruit new people for the time being, that's all, train them to maturity first, and then make a few good ones." The seedlings came out...!"
"That's right!" Han Sheng nodded in approval.
"Consolidate the foundation first, and when the time is right, we can hold a supermodel contest or something," Han Sheng even took into account the Victoria's Secret show, and is ready to wait for the right time to start.
"Supermodel contest, wow, that's not a joke!" Cindy Crawford said, but visibly excited.
It's very simple, for the supermodel contest, how big is that? Even with Han Sheng's contacts and energy, maybe it can be auditioned all over the world, and then various live TV broadcasts and the like will be available at that time. worldwide influence.
Then her company is not yet able to dominate the fashion industry.
People, who doesn't have ambitions.
However, she didn't know that Han Sheng thought more about her than her, and his ambition was greater than hers. Not only auditions around the world, live TV broadcasts, etc., but he also had more influence in the fashion circle.
Of course, you can't just say it casually right now, lest Cindy Crawford's expectations are too high and her attitude is too eager, which will cause bad things instead.
……
When Monica Bellucci changed into her swimsuit and came out, the three of them went to the beach to play together.
Those who arrived early are now playing cards, swimming in the sea, simply piling up sand, and even sitting there looking at the sea. Even at night, there are only a few lights on the sea, but there is still a sense of open sea and sky. It feels like it can open up people's minds and relax their spirits.
Especially for those who see the sea for the first time.
Even if Han Sheng was poor before, because he lived in lower Manhattan, next to the bay, it was easy to see the sea, which is not surprising.
However, swimming at night was also good. Seeing many beauties in the sea, he also jumped in, swam for a while, and then played with them for a while.
When he came ashore again, Cindy Crawford handed him a glass of red wine and joked, "It's finished digesting!"
Monica Bellucci next to her couldn't help but burst out laughing, not only spouted the wine from her mouth, but even spilled the wine in the glass in her hand.
She was about to wipe it off, when a smelly and shameless wineman next to her lowered his head and started to help her.
Monica Bellucci blushed all of a sudden, but hugged his head tightly, as if afraid that he would run away.
Cindy Crawford's eyes lit up.
So, when Han Sheng was full for the time being, she poured some red wine with a smile... The good ones do not imitate the bad ones!
Good guy.
……
From the 11th to the 23rd, within two weeks, Han Sheng really seemed to be on vacation. Except for going back for two days in the middle and attending the premiere of "Leaping Innocence", the rest of the time was spent Here, I had a wonderful and absurd day for a while.
On Sunday, the 23rd, the closing day of the Cannes Film Festival.
First of all, at ten o'clock in the morning, more than 100 famous directors from all over the world, led by Woody Allen and Francis Coppola, signed and published a manifesto with the theme of protesting all film censorship systems in the world.By the way, it also specifically marked one point, that is, the so-called "freedom of speech", uh, it smells very familiar, doesn't it?
As for Han Sheng, he also had to help others, and joined in the name of the film producer, signing his "anger and dissatisfaction". Of course, others must not know what his anger and dissatisfaction was aimed at.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the awards ceremony began.
Although "Xing, Lies and Videotapes" received unanimous praise when it was screened, the audience also recognized it, especially the European filmmakers also showed enthusiasm for buying, in short, everything is good, but, as the boss Jennifer Aniston still has more extravagant hopes.
It's very simple, once she wins the Palme d'Or, the film "Xing, Lies and Videotape" will instantly increase her value, and she will naturally be able to earn more.
Before, Han Sheng told her that this film should earn 400 million dollars, and she was already very satisfied at that time, but these days, after enthusiastic inquiries from film producers from all over the world, she has roughly figured out the way.
Just now, once she is willing to sell it, she can sell it for at least 600 million knives. Note that this is the copyright of other places outside of North America, which means that just these, excluding the cost of 250 million knives, She could earn $350 million.
In the United States, with the help of Han Sheng, if the Palme d'Or is won and Warner helps release it, it will have a box office of 3000 million, and then she will be able to share several million or even 1000 million knives.
In short, it will definitely make a profit.
So, after the award ceremony started, she was always nervous, holding onto Han Sheng's hand tightly, and kept muttering, "Do you think we can win the award? Do you think Woody Allen's hint is true? Is it?"
"Without a gun, you can earn at least tens of millions!" Han Sheng laughed, deliberately teasing her.
"Bah, bah, you must win a prize!" Jennifer Aniston pouted cutely, "Please, stop talking!"
"Then you can just cover my mouth with your mouth!" Han Sheng laughed.
Jennifer Aniston really ignored the eyes around her, hugged him and kissed him fiercely, and then said while slapping his tricky hand, "Don't make trouble, I will go up to receive the award later, It would be embarrassing if the skirt gets messed up!"
Only then did Han Sheng comfort her, or tell her the real secret.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take it!" Han Sheng said, almost biting her ear: "Uncle Woody told me specifically during lunch, how can I say that this time Cannes has a lot of colleagues from the United States, so , this session is basically up to us Americans to call the shots.
It just so happens that "Xing, Lies, and Videotape" is indeed a very good movie, so it's logical to give it to someone else, right?
Besides, my relationship with Uncle Woody is very good! "
"Really!" Jennifer Aniston was overjoyed, then pouted and thumped him, and said coquettishly, "Then you didn't say it earlier, and I'm so distracted today that I can't even eat! "
"Heh, you ate too much in the afternoon!" Han Sheng teased.
"Bah, scoundrel!" Jennifer Aniston blushed immediately, this stinking shameless person still had the face to say that it was him who was shameless.
But what about wanting to kiss him?
Han Sheng saw that her eyeballs were watery, enough was enough, but he still teased her, "Remember, after you win the prize, you have to give me a little bit of the big money!"
"No, don't think about it!" Jennifer Aniston also coquettishly told him, and then said, "Do you still remember that you kissed me before, I said 100 million knives, and you still owe me hundreds of millions now, no , more than [-] billion...!"
"So, I can only sell myself to you!" Han Sheng laughed.
"Well, that's about the same," Jennifer Aniston smiled, "Then it's settled, you will belong to me from now on, remember to obey me obediently!"
……
Nearly 09:30, the final grand prize, the Palme d'Or, began to be awarded, and the award was presented by Woody Allen, an old acquaintance.
Han Sheng was happy when he saw him.
Because he knew that meant the Palme d'Or was secure.
But Jennifer Aniston was nervous again at this time, she grabbed his hand and her face was tense, which is a typical concern and disorder.
Fortunately, Woody Allen didn't tease her, he briefly commented on the result:
"Although the director is a newcomer, he doesn't have too many immature aspects, but instead shows his maturity beyond his age and his understanding and mastery of film art.
And the theme of the movie, from a unique but realistic perspective, critically shows the subtle but fruitful situation of human beings between love, betrayal and the most primitive XING behavior... Finally, congratulations to Steven Director Soderbergh, tonight's Palme d'Or belongs to "Xing, Lies and Videotapes"...! "
"Yeah, yay, yay!" Jennifer Aniston jumped up and danced happily as if she had just heard the good news.
Han Sheng smiled, that's good, lest everyone find out that they already knew.
Then, when Jennifer Aniston had to pull him, he had to follow her on the podium. However, the protagonist at this time was mainly director Steven Soderbergh.
He's also super excited.
It's very simple. Compared with the Cannes in front of the previous Saint Denis Film Festival, it is scum. In this era, Cannes is only second to the Oscars, and it is a truly awesome existence.
And being able to win the Palme d'Or, the highest award in Cannes, proves that he is really popular, popular, and truly famous overnight.
Even though he was a bit regretful that he sold the movie for $250 million.
However, think about it, if there is no big brother Vincent, I am afraid that he will not even have the chance to come to Cannes, let alone the honor in front of him.
So, regrets are regrets, he still thanked Han Sheng emphatically in his acceptance speech.
That is, without Han Sheng, he would not be as good as he is now.
On the stage, Han Sheng and the others were full of beauty and smiling.
Under the stage, the fat Harvey in a certain corner slapped his thigh depressedly.
You know, he also took a fancy to this movie at the beginning.
Even, at that time, his psychological price was around $250 million.
It's just that he was still thinking about bargaining and bargaining, but who knows, he was bought by others later.
Then, recently, he found out that it was Han Sheng's little lover Jennifer Aniston who bought it.
What the hell, this time it's a big loss.
He had already inquired about it before. Except for North America, the film studios in other places have already paid a total price of 600 million knives.
Then, now that the Palme d'Or has been obtained, any fool knows that it is worth at least 1000 million knives or more.
This is not the North American box office.
Good guy, it really feels like losing [-] million all at once.
Fatty Harvey touched his heart, it hurt so much, he felt like he was going crazy.
But then, his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.
Uh, that's right, he finally thought of it, that is to buy various low-cost films all over the world, and then use them to win prizes.Then, after winning the awards, these films will be released under the title of various awards.
The prices with and without awards are one heaven and one hell.
Even with awards, some films that seem to be uninterested can be sold, but without awards, those films that no one cares about can really only be left in the warehouse.
Take "Xing, Lies, and Videotapes" in front of me as an example. Before winning the prize, 600 million was not bad, but after winning the prize, 1000 million was scrambling for it.
So Harvey was excited again, feeling that he had finally thought of a way to make a fortune.
Uh, historically, this guy has gone on a road of no return for infinite prizes because of the success of "Xing, Lies and Videotapes" in Cannes.
Well, the point of no return has little to do with the prize.
That should have something to do with the fat man's culture of liking red sofas.
It doesn't even have anything to do with the red sofa.
How to put it, his character is too scumbag, the culture of the red sofa emphasizes that after playing, you have to honor it.
But most of the time, after playing this product, it's nothing.
Therefore, many women hated him to the bone.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be deserted in the end.
Well, it's a wall that everyone pushes.
……
It was not worse than what Harvey expected. After winning the Palme d'Or, the value of "Xing, Lies and Videotapes" skyrocketed instantly. Filmmakers from all over the world became more enthusiastic when they raised the price.
French filmmakers directly increased from 50 to 150 million.
With this example, other filmmakers had to raise prices in various ways, and finally, in regions other than North America, the film "Xing, Lies and Videotapes" sold a total of 1329 million dollars.
After removing the cost of 250 million knives, the net profit has been tens of millions.
After returning, Jennifer Aniston screamed excitedly, but she was still very smart when she was excited, she suddenly put her arms around his neck, "Darling, did that French filmmaker cheat on you! "
Han Sheng smiled, but he didn't hide it from her. He nodded and boasted, "Baby, you are really smart!"
After a pause, he continued: "His original wish was to increase it to 100 million, so I told him that you can directly increase it to 150 million, but in the final settlement, I only want you to add 80!"
"Excellent...!" Jennifer Aniston immediately understood the trick.
Find someone to raise the price!
Especially in this kind of time when just winning an award, the big guys are all stimulated, and then someone suddenly shows up, and it is easy to be tempted.
The reality is like this, the film dealers in France doubled directly, and other film dealers had to follow suit.
In the end, even though the French film studio only received 80 knives in the end, they charged at least 300 million more.
"Well, when the time comes, you can settle the share after the release in North America!" Jennifer Aniston sat in his arms and looked at him affectionately.
She felt she had taken too much.
She really did almost nothing, just arranged for someone to buy the movie according to what he said.
So, she really has no more extravagant hopes.
Han Sheng smiled and shook his head, put his head into her arms, sniffed her fragrant breath, and said softly, "Baby, do you know how precious you are in my heart!"
Jennifer Aniston was really touched.
She hugged him tightly, almost exhausting all her strength.
Kissing him, whispering, "Bad guy, why are you so nice to me...!"
(End of this chapter)
What Woody Allen asked Han Sheng to talk about was the film censorship system.
Well, this is the most important reason why big names like Woody Allen and Francisco Coppola appeared in Cannes.
Then, this year's Cannes will hold the first edition of the "Film Freedom" forum.
And the purpose of this forum is to protest against all forms of censorship that still exist in the world.
Note, yes all forms of censorship.
You know, the United States also had a hierarchical review system in 68.
But what is its real purpose?It's very simple, not for the American mainland, but for the film market of other countries.
The most fundamental purpose is to pave the way for the United States to unscrupulously export various values through movies.
This was not guessed by Han Sheng himself, but when Reagan retired and returned to California, when he went to a dinner party, Reagan accidentally mentioned it to him, and asked him to cooperate with Woody Allen and others.
That being the case, Han Sheng naturally had nothing to say.
He was very impassioned, saying that he would use his popularity and charisma to go all out for this task.
……
After chatting for more than half an hour, communicating about the relevant schedule and the work to be done by each of them, Han Sheng left first.
After he returned to the hotel where he was staying, he planned to see what Jennifer Aniston had planned for shopping or fun, but who knew that this place was already empty.
That being the case, he was going to go to Cindy Crawford.
This goblin lives in a luxury villa rented out by the sea.
As soon as he thought of the villa by the sea, he could think of all the surprises Cindy Crawford had prepared for him, and suddenly his heart was about to move, and he subconsciously quickened his pace.
As soon as he left the hotel, he came to the street and was about to walk towards the seaside villa. When he met a beautiful woman, he was taken aback for a while and greeted him with a smile, "Hi, Vincent, what a coincidence?"
Han Sheng also pretended to be taken aback, although he recognized this pink beauty as Sophie Marceau, "Uh, you are?"
"Ah," Sophie Marceau felt a little embarrassed. She was quite famous in Europe, so she meant that Han Sheng should know her.
Then I realized that being famous in Europe does not mean being famous in the United States.
What's more, Han Sheng hasn't been in the film industry for long, and I'm afraid that the beauties in the American film industry don't know too well.
So, I introduced myself: "Well, my name is Sophie Marceau, and I am a film actor in France!"
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Han Sheng patted his forehead, "I thought you were my female fan or something!"
"Hahaha, actually it counts!" Sophie Marceau giggled, "You are quite famous here, your song "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)" won our French The leaderboard here has been champion for several weeks!"
"Everything I Do (I Do It For You)" is much more popular than "I Will Always Love You" in Europe. It is also because of this that it has driven the sales of Han Sheng's other records in Europe. Therefore, in March this year At the time of the settlement, Han Sheng received a huge sum of over 4000 million from the European side.
"Um, are you here to participate in the film festival?" Han Sheng asked.
"No, we don't have any films to participate in, I'm here to learn!" Sophie Marceau shook her head, "This is a big day for us French filmmakers, so we naturally have to come over to watch and learn!"
"By the way, what about you, why are you?"
"I have a movie to participate in!" Han Sheng said.
"Ah, have you made a new movie yet?" Sophie Marceau seemed to be somewhat familiar with him.
"No," Han Sheng shook his head, "It's a movie I bought at the Saint Denis Film Festival!"
"What's the name, am I lucky enough to see it?" Sophie Marceau asked.
"Of course, it's called Surnames, Lies, and Videotapes," Han Sheng said.
"Wow, listening to this name, I feel very vigorous!" Sophie Marceau said playfully without any embarrassment.
She really deserves to be a French woman.
Then, she asked, "Where are you going now?"
Naturally, Han Sheng couldn't say that I was going to go to the seaside villa to receive the gifts from the beauty preparation account, so he changed his mind, "This is my first time here, and I'm going to go shopping...!"
Sophie Marceau smiled, "In this case, let me, the landlord, entertain you. I am quite familiar with this place!"
Then, she came up to hold his arm in a slightly intimate way, "Is this okay?"
"It's my honor!" Han Sheng also smiled.
If there is a beautiful woman who is willing to put your arms around you, then why not.
The weather is fine today. It looks like 26 degrees in the afternoon. Sophie Marceau is wearing a simple white shirt and a pair of off-white jeans. She is very casual and everyday. She is also very clean and refreshing, making her look more natural and beautiful.
Well, the main thing is to look good, so it’s over if you look good in whatever you wear.
While walking forward and chatting, Han Sheng asked casually: "How long have you been an actor, and how many works have you acted in?"
"Um, I started out as a commercial shooter, and then I became an actor when I was 14 years old. The works are not bad, more than a dozen, and I have won a few awards...!" Sophie Marceau seemed to be interviewing It's the same as your resume, and it's very detailed.
And, obviously, a little proud of his own success.
Of course, she also has the qualifications to be proud. Not only did she shoot various commercials and movies very early, she also won several awards last year, officially becoming a well-known and popular female star in Europe.
And she's only 22 now.
"Wow, I didn't expect you to be so good. I was really rude just now!" Han Sheng praised half-truthfully.
Then he took advantage of the situation and said: "I think your image and temperament are pretty good. Have you considered developing in the past in the United States?"
Isn't Sophie Marceau waiting for such words?
When she introduced herself like that before, she naturally wanted to attract Han Sheng's attention, and then hugged this super thigh.
As for why Han Sheng is said to be a super thigh, he is still so famous.
It's very simple. Isabelle Adjani's Oscar winner and best foreign language film awards just won are the best and most powerful proof.
Originally, Europe thought Isabel Adjani was hopeless.
After all, it was Oscar, and it was run by the Americans, so it was natural that they should take care of their own people.
Who knew it was an upset.
Then everyone knew that it was Han Sheng who gave her public relations.
As for why they helped her with public relations, few people cared. What most people cared about was that Han Sheng had that ability.
That's amazing.
Can write a good script, can produce a super blockbuster movie, and then win an Oscar in public relations, good guy, isn't this a super thigh in the film industry.
For European female stars who yearn for Hollywood, it is even more fatally attractive.
Sophie Marceau is also a normal person, she naturally hopes to sit on the throne of Oscar's best actress, and then enjoy the infinite scenery on top of the world.
Look at Isabel Adjani's high-spiritedness now, the kind that is touted in various ways, it is simply a national treasure of France.
Therefore, don't say that Han Sheng took the initiative to mention it, if he didn't mention it, she was going to recommend herself later.
Of course, she took the initiative to mention it, and she was a little more reserved, bit her lip, and put on the cutest and attractive look, "Can I?"
"Of course you can, especially your English is fluent!" Han Sheng is telling the truth. Sophie Marceau is proficient in French and English, unlike some European actresses, even if she can speak, if it is not too strong accent, Or it's not good to say.
Well, except for the British accent.
People in the United States think that the British accent is noble.
……
The Croisette Avenue, where the Palais des Nations, the main venue of Cannes, is the most famous seaside boulevard in Cannes. It stretches for two kilometers, is extremely wide and very clean.
On one side of the road is the blue and wide sea of the Mediterranean Sea and the beautiful silver-white sandy beach. Uh, in fact, the most eye-catching men are some bold beauties with bare bodies on the beach, and some even get very excited after seeing him. He raised his lantern to greet him.
On the other side of the road, there are green belts and tall palm trees, and then there are various commercial areas such as high-end hotels, apartments, restaurants, luxury brand stores and so on.
The afternoon was sunny and refreshing, and Sophie Marceau looked very excited, especially when some reporters came up to Han Sheng and asked him if this was his new girlfriend or something.
Han Sheng didn't deny or admit it, but this kind of attitude satisfied the reporter the most, because he could make up whatever he wanted, and it seemed that Han Sheng didn't care at all.
Uh, Han Sheng has always let go of scandals, unless some guys want to frame him.
Han Sheng is a big star, and he is well-known all over the world. As soon as his news came out, then, wouldn't she, Sophie Marceau, take advantage of the trend and occupy the media pages all over the world? As a star, the most important thing is exposure.
Only with exposure can you become popular, and with popularity, you can slowly enjoy various benefits, such as various opportunities to make movies, such as crazy commercials, all kinds of money to earn hand cramps and so on.
Leslie Cheung once said that for a woman in the entertainment industry, no matter how noble she pretends to be, her vanity is absolutely out of bounds.
Han Sheng felt that this was quite reasonable.
For a while, when Sophie Marceau was introducing, there was a sudden pause, next to Chanel's store, in the store window, there was a model wearing an off-white floral skirt, well, mainly the skirt .
It looks like an ordinary off-white floral style, but its texture is surprisingly delicate. It looks much more upscale than others of the same style, even at least as much as a few streets away.
It's really beautiful, even in Han Sheng's eyes.
"Do you like it?" Han Sheng smiled.
"Ah, no!" Sophie Marceau shook her head immediately after being taken aback.
However, Han Sheng grabbed her and walked in, and smiled at the beautiful waitress who came out, "Bring me the one in the window, uh, it's suitable for this beautiful lady!" A guide to Sophie Marceau.
"Ah, no more!" After all, it was the first time we met, so she would be embarrassed to accept a gift even if Han Sheng was generous.
Even if she doesn't mind having a friendly match with Han Sheng at all.
She is the kind of beauty whose old lady is greedy for your body.
"Try it," Han Sheng smiled slightly, and pointed to a very fashionable sun visor on the wall. He said to the shopping guide, "Bring that too!" Then he said to Sophie Marceau: "That dress should look pretty good, and the sun just happens to be a little bit hot now...!"
Seeing that he was serious, Sophie Marceau stopped being pretentious, took the skirt and changed it freely.
After a while, I changed it out, and then put on the hat, oh, what a fashionable and beautiful Xia RI girl, it really feels like a new look.
How should I put it, I used to have a delicate and pleasant appearance, but in front of my eyes are fashionable and beautiful shapes, different styles, but if the appearance is off the charts, each has its own style, which makes people drool.
"Bring another pair of shoes!" Han Sheng then asked the waiter to bring over a pair of sandals studded with diamonds.
It fits so well. After Sophie Marceau tried it, her eyes lit up, and she sincerely praised, "I didn't expect you to know fashion so well!"
The female shopping guide next to him seemed no stranger to Han Sheng, and said with a smile: "It should be said that Vincent really understands women, and he knows every style to death!"
Han Sheng was delighted, and he pinched the face of this playful female shopping guide, "Honey, you can really talk!"
The female shopping guide in the luxury store has an online beauty, and she gave him a flirtatious look, her eyes were hot, it was so simple, it was almost like asking if we could find a place to have a friendly match or something.
After going out, Sophie Marceau was giggling, "In France, if you flirt with someone and then leave, that would be very rude!"
"I didn't tease her, I just praised her!" Han Sheng laughed.
Sophie Marceau also smiled, but stopped talking about this, but looked at the beautiful skirt and shoes on her body, "By the way, I haven't said thank you yet. By the way, this is too precious...!"
The clothes, shoes and sun hat cost less than [-] knives in total.
According to the current exchange rate between the US dollar and the French franc of about 1:6, it is equivalent to more than one hundred thousand francs.
Sophie Marceau has just become a little popular in France, but this is Europe, or France. If she is a little popular in this kind of place, it is not worth mentioning. For example, the salary of one of her films is only 50 francs.
This is also the reason why she took a fancy to the skirt but was reluctant to buy it.
This is also the reason why she wanted to go to Hollywood to become famous.
In the past, even if Isabelle Adjani was popular in France and Europe, the salary for a film was 600 million to 800 million francs, which is about 100 million US dollars.
Now, at least $300 million is required.
Twenty thousand dollars is a lot for Sophie Marceau, but it is nothing to Han Sheng who has almost hundreds of millions of dollars in cash.
"Just count it as the tour guide fee I paid you!" Han Sheng smiled.
"Can I still do this?" Sophie Marceau is not hypocritical, "Is that why I will be your tour guide for the next few days?"
This has obvious hints, Han Shengyile, "If you have time, it's my honor!"
When Sophie Marceau heard this, she gave him a sneaky look, then hugged his arm a little harder, and her footsteps were even more joyful.
……
During the Cannes Film Festival, there were many people on Croisette Avenue, especially journalists. Even if Han Sheng and Sophie Marceulant had concubines, they couldn't just sneak there for a friendly match or something.
Besides, Cindy Crawford has been waiting there.
If you wait too long, you will get angry.
So, seeing that the time was almost up, Han Sheng first found an excuse to say goodbye to Sophie Marceau.
Sophie Marceau secretly glanced at the few reporters and a large group of fans who were still following, and knew that the situation was not allowed. When saying goodbye, she hugged him and whispered in his ear: "I live in the Marriott Hotel The 9th floor...!"
Marriott Hotel, that's where I live.
Oh, isn't this a god-sent opportunity, close to the water.
Han Sheng grinned all of a sudden, and then secretly hinted that he would go there when he had time.
……
The seaside villa rented by Cindy Crawford is not far from the Croisette Avenue. It was originally rented out to wealthy celebrities. The villa is just like a hotel, and the facilities are very complete. It is really Twist the bag to move in, from food and drink to use, the kind that you don't have to worry about anything.
Han Sheng followed Cindy Crawford's prompt, and when he arrived at the villa, it was just getting dark, but the villa was brightly lit, and there were many mermaids playing in the big swimming pool outside the villa.
Especially the various headlights and small lights, which are extraordinarily dazzling.
When they first saw Han Sheng appear, the girls were startled, thinking it was a stranger, and then they all giggled.
They were all from Cindy Crawford's new modeling agency.
By the way, this modeling agency is newly opened by Han Sheng and Cindy Crawford.
Among them, Han Sheng paid 1000 million knives, and then seven or eight wealthy children like Daniel and William spent a total of 1000 million knives. Cindy Crawford didn't pay a penny, but still accounted for 20.00% of the shares.
However, Han Sheng took 1000% of the 40.00 million shares in her hands, so she actually holds a total of 60.00% of the shares in the new model agency.
Because of Han Sheng and Daniel and other rich sons as backers, although it only started in January this year, Cindy Crawford has completely pulled up the facade. In the four major fashion weeks in February and March, she won the major Luxury brands made a lot of catwalk orders and made a lot of money.
In addition to her own rising net worth of nearly 500 million, more than 30 newcomers under her banner also earned almost 300 million.
"Come down and play...!" When he got to the pool, two mischievous people grabbed his hand and pulled him into the pool.
The others were also excited to catch him.
If you really went in, it would really be a bit like Rouchi Roulin.
Uh, although it seems that he is not without absurdity.
But when he saw Cindy Crawford appearing at the gate of the villa, he resolutely refused.
Cindy Crawford was also there laughing and cursing, "Bichi, let go of your hands!" Then she stepped forward and pulled him away.
At the entrance of the villa, a beautiful woman came out: Monica Bellucci.
This is an acquaintance, uh, no, someone I know.
Cindy Crawford didn't know, so she took the initiative to introduce: "This is a new model signed by our company," and then said to Han Sheng meaningfully: "However, she prefers acting or something!"
Well, in the original time and space, Monica Bellucci left the law school of the University of Perugia last year and became a model, and this year, she will start studying acting in New York.
Unexpectedly, it is now in the hands of Cindy Crawford.
Judging by what the goblin meant, this was probably a surprise gift.
In other words, the wild beauty of Monica Bellucci, known as Italy's national treasure beauty, can really arouse men's desire to conquer, not to mention the figure, how many men are coveted.
"Hi, Vincent!" Monica Bellucci was a little excited to see him, and she was a little eager to try. Like many Western women expressing intimacy, she put her hand on his arm.
Looking at the shining eyes, Han Sheng was also happy, "Hello, Monica!"
Cindy Crawford next to him smiled and winked at him, and then said: "What do you drink, oh, you should be hungry at this point, why don't we go to the lawn to have a barbecue and eat, I'm here to prepare A lot!"
Sure enough, she is a woman who understands him and is considerate.
Han Sheng really liked her so much, he put his arms around her and kissed her, then patted her buttocks, "Then prepare to eat first!"
"That's right, otherwise I won't have the energy to wait a while!" Cindy Crawford giggled.
"Who do you look down on?" Han Sheng squeezed her hard.
Cindy Crawford was a little bit on fire because of him, but she restrained herself and said to Monica Bellucci, "You stay with him first, I'll get someone to prepare food!"
……
"When did you arrive in New York?" Han Sheng asked casually when he took a glass of red wine from Monica Bellucci.
"In March!" Monica Bellucci sat on his lap naturally, her eyes were still looking at his extremely strong muscles with interest, and she wanted to reach out and feel it carefully.
"Why do you suddenly want to be an actor? Have you ever done this before?"
"No, but, I understand the modeling industry very well. Even if you become a supermodel like Cindy, it is difficult to survive for a long time. I mean, the modeling industry really eats youthful food...! "
As expected of a talented student who has studied in law school, Monica Bellucci not only has beauty and body, but also brains.
Moreover, she is obviously an ambitious woman who knows what she wants.
After chatting for a while, Cindy Crawford brought out all kinds of food and drink. Han Sheng patted Monica Bellucci who was sitting on his lap, telling her to get up first, and he followed suit. Help everyone set up the grill together, and then turn on the fire and start roasting.
It was past six o'clock, and the girls were all hungry.
The girls in the swimming pool also went ashore, but they were still very frank.
This is a very common situation for them.
For example, the backstage of every catwalk, not to mention the above, this era still pays attention not to affect the shape of the whole clothes because of the small pants, so, many times, they are completely honest.
Han Sheng is not surprised.
While grilling, eating, and casually chatting with the big guys.
When it was almost eight o'clock, it was finally considered full of wine and food, and a large group of girls who came for vacation also ran away, some went to the beach to play, some went into the house and so on.
Cindy Crawford was the only one around him, and even Monica Bellucci went into the house to change into her bathing suit.
"It's tiring to start a company," Cindy Crawford said while eating the mangoes he fed, "I don't plan to recruit new people for the time being, that's all, train them to maturity first, and then make a few good ones." The seedlings came out...!"
"That's right!" Han Sheng nodded in approval.
"Consolidate the foundation first, and when the time is right, we can hold a supermodel contest or something," Han Sheng even took into account the Victoria's Secret show, and is ready to wait for the right time to start.
"Supermodel contest, wow, that's not a joke!" Cindy Crawford said, but visibly excited.
It's very simple, for the supermodel contest, how big is that? Even with Han Sheng's contacts and energy, maybe it can be auditioned all over the world, and then various live TV broadcasts and the like will be available at that time. worldwide influence.
Then her company is not yet able to dominate the fashion industry.
People, who doesn't have ambitions.
However, she didn't know that Han Sheng thought more about her than her, and his ambition was greater than hers. Not only auditions around the world, live TV broadcasts, etc., but he also had more influence in the fashion circle.
Of course, you can't just say it casually right now, lest Cindy Crawford's expectations are too high and her attitude is too eager, which will cause bad things instead.
……
When Monica Bellucci changed into her swimsuit and came out, the three of them went to the beach to play together.
Those who arrived early are now playing cards, swimming in the sea, simply piling up sand, and even sitting there looking at the sea. Even at night, there are only a few lights on the sea, but there is still a sense of open sea and sky. It feels like it can open up people's minds and relax their spirits.
Especially for those who see the sea for the first time.
Even if Han Sheng was poor before, because he lived in lower Manhattan, next to the bay, it was easy to see the sea, which is not surprising.
However, swimming at night was also good. Seeing many beauties in the sea, he also jumped in, swam for a while, and then played with them for a while.
When he came ashore again, Cindy Crawford handed him a glass of red wine and joked, "It's finished digesting!"
Monica Bellucci next to her couldn't help but burst out laughing, not only spouted the wine from her mouth, but even spilled the wine in the glass in her hand.
She was about to wipe it off, when a smelly and shameless wineman next to her lowered his head and started to help her.
Monica Bellucci blushed all of a sudden, but hugged his head tightly, as if afraid that he would run away.
Cindy Crawford's eyes lit up.
So, when Han Sheng was full for the time being, she poured some red wine with a smile... The good ones do not imitate the bad ones!
Good guy.
……
From the 11th to the 23rd, within two weeks, Han Sheng really seemed to be on vacation. Except for going back for two days in the middle and attending the premiere of "Leaping Innocence", the rest of the time was spent Here, I had a wonderful and absurd day for a while.
On Sunday, the 23rd, the closing day of the Cannes Film Festival.
First of all, at ten o'clock in the morning, more than 100 famous directors from all over the world, led by Woody Allen and Francis Coppola, signed and published a manifesto with the theme of protesting all film censorship systems in the world.By the way, it also specifically marked one point, that is, the so-called "freedom of speech", uh, it smells very familiar, doesn't it?
As for Han Sheng, he also had to help others, and joined in the name of the film producer, signing his "anger and dissatisfaction". Of course, others must not know what his anger and dissatisfaction was aimed at.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the awards ceremony began.
Although "Xing, Lies and Videotapes" received unanimous praise when it was screened, the audience also recognized it, especially the European filmmakers also showed enthusiasm for buying, in short, everything is good, but, as the boss Jennifer Aniston still has more extravagant hopes.
It's very simple, once she wins the Palme d'Or, the film "Xing, Lies and Videotape" will instantly increase her value, and she will naturally be able to earn more.
Before, Han Sheng told her that this film should earn 400 million dollars, and she was already very satisfied at that time, but these days, after enthusiastic inquiries from film producers from all over the world, she has roughly figured out the way.
Just now, once she is willing to sell it, she can sell it for at least 600 million knives. Note that this is the copyright of other places outside of North America, which means that just these, excluding the cost of 250 million knives, She could earn $350 million.
In the United States, with the help of Han Sheng, if the Palme d'Or is won and Warner helps release it, it will have a box office of 3000 million, and then she will be able to share several million or even 1000 million knives.
In short, it will definitely make a profit.
So, after the award ceremony started, she was always nervous, holding onto Han Sheng's hand tightly, and kept muttering, "Do you think we can win the award? Do you think Woody Allen's hint is true? Is it?"
"Without a gun, you can earn at least tens of millions!" Han Sheng laughed, deliberately teasing her.
"Bah, bah, you must win a prize!" Jennifer Aniston pouted cutely, "Please, stop talking!"
"Then you can just cover my mouth with your mouth!" Han Sheng laughed.
Jennifer Aniston really ignored the eyes around her, hugged him and kissed him fiercely, and then said while slapping his tricky hand, "Don't make trouble, I will go up to receive the award later, It would be embarrassing if the skirt gets messed up!"
Only then did Han Sheng comfort her, or tell her the real secret.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take it!" Han Sheng said, almost biting her ear: "Uncle Woody told me specifically during lunch, how can I say that this time Cannes has a lot of colleagues from the United States, so , this session is basically up to us Americans to call the shots.
It just so happens that "Xing, Lies, and Videotape" is indeed a very good movie, so it's logical to give it to someone else, right?
Besides, my relationship with Uncle Woody is very good! "
"Really!" Jennifer Aniston was overjoyed, then pouted and thumped him, and said coquettishly, "Then you didn't say it earlier, and I'm so distracted today that I can't even eat! "
"Heh, you ate too much in the afternoon!" Han Sheng teased.
"Bah, scoundrel!" Jennifer Aniston blushed immediately, this stinking shameless person still had the face to say that it was him who was shameless.
But what about wanting to kiss him?
Han Sheng saw that her eyeballs were watery, enough was enough, but he still teased her, "Remember, after you win the prize, you have to give me a little bit of the big money!"
"No, don't think about it!" Jennifer Aniston also coquettishly told him, and then said, "Do you still remember that you kissed me before, I said 100 million knives, and you still owe me hundreds of millions now, no , more than [-] billion...!"
"So, I can only sell myself to you!" Han Sheng laughed.
"Well, that's about the same," Jennifer Aniston smiled, "Then it's settled, you will belong to me from now on, remember to obey me obediently!"
……
Nearly 09:30, the final grand prize, the Palme d'Or, began to be awarded, and the award was presented by Woody Allen, an old acquaintance.
Han Sheng was happy when he saw him.
Because he knew that meant the Palme d'Or was secure.
But Jennifer Aniston was nervous again at this time, she grabbed his hand and her face was tense, which is a typical concern and disorder.
Fortunately, Woody Allen didn't tease her, he briefly commented on the result:
"Although the director is a newcomer, he doesn't have too many immature aspects, but instead shows his maturity beyond his age and his understanding and mastery of film art.
And the theme of the movie, from a unique but realistic perspective, critically shows the subtle but fruitful situation of human beings between love, betrayal and the most primitive XING behavior... Finally, congratulations to Steven Director Soderbergh, tonight's Palme d'Or belongs to "Xing, Lies and Videotapes"...! "
"Yeah, yay, yay!" Jennifer Aniston jumped up and danced happily as if she had just heard the good news.
Han Sheng smiled, that's good, lest everyone find out that they already knew.
Then, when Jennifer Aniston had to pull him, he had to follow her on the podium. However, the protagonist at this time was mainly director Steven Soderbergh.
He's also super excited.
It's very simple. Compared with the Cannes in front of the previous Saint Denis Film Festival, it is scum. In this era, Cannes is only second to the Oscars, and it is a truly awesome existence.
And being able to win the Palme d'Or, the highest award in Cannes, proves that he is really popular, popular, and truly famous overnight.
Even though he was a bit regretful that he sold the movie for $250 million.
However, think about it, if there is no big brother Vincent, I am afraid that he will not even have the chance to come to Cannes, let alone the honor in front of him.
So, regrets are regrets, he still thanked Han Sheng emphatically in his acceptance speech.
That is, without Han Sheng, he would not be as good as he is now.
On the stage, Han Sheng and the others were full of beauty and smiling.
Under the stage, the fat Harvey in a certain corner slapped his thigh depressedly.
You know, he also took a fancy to this movie at the beginning.
Even, at that time, his psychological price was around $250 million.
It's just that he was still thinking about bargaining and bargaining, but who knows, he was bought by others later.
Then, recently, he found out that it was Han Sheng's little lover Jennifer Aniston who bought it.
What the hell, this time it's a big loss.
He had already inquired about it before. Except for North America, the film studios in other places have already paid a total price of 600 million knives.
Then, now that the Palme d'Or has been obtained, any fool knows that it is worth at least 1000 million knives or more.
This is not the North American box office.
Good guy, it really feels like losing [-] million all at once.
Fatty Harvey touched his heart, it hurt so much, he felt like he was going crazy.
But then, his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.
Uh, that's right, he finally thought of it, that is to buy various low-cost films all over the world, and then use them to win prizes.Then, after winning the awards, these films will be released under the title of various awards.
The prices with and without awards are one heaven and one hell.
Even with awards, some films that seem to be uninterested can be sold, but without awards, those films that no one cares about can really only be left in the warehouse.
Take "Xing, Lies, and Videotapes" in front of me as an example. Before winning the prize, 600 million was not bad, but after winning the prize, 1000 million was scrambling for it.
So Harvey was excited again, feeling that he had finally thought of a way to make a fortune.
Uh, historically, this guy has gone on a road of no return for infinite prizes because of the success of "Xing, Lies and Videotapes" in Cannes.
Well, the point of no return has little to do with the prize.
That should have something to do with the fat man's culture of liking red sofas.
It doesn't even have anything to do with the red sofa.
How to put it, his character is too scumbag, the culture of the red sofa emphasizes that after playing, you have to honor it.
But most of the time, after playing this product, it's nothing.
Therefore, many women hated him to the bone.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be deserted in the end.
Well, it's a wall that everyone pushes.
……
It was not worse than what Harvey expected. After winning the Palme d'Or, the value of "Xing, Lies and Videotapes" skyrocketed instantly. Filmmakers from all over the world became more enthusiastic when they raised the price.
French filmmakers directly increased from 50 to 150 million.
With this example, other filmmakers had to raise prices in various ways, and finally, in regions other than North America, the film "Xing, Lies and Videotapes" sold a total of 1329 million dollars.
After removing the cost of 250 million knives, the net profit has been tens of millions.
After returning, Jennifer Aniston screamed excitedly, but she was still very smart when she was excited, she suddenly put her arms around his neck, "Darling, did that French filmmaker cheat on you! "
Han Sheng smiled, but he didn't hide it from her. He nodded and boasted, "Baby, you are really smart!"
After a pause, he continued: "His original wish was to increase it to 100 million, so I told him that you can directly increase it to 150 million, but in the final settlement, I only want you to add 80!"
"Excellent...!" Jennifer Aniston immediately understood the trick.
Find someone to raise the price!
Especially in this kind of time when just winning an award, the big guys are all stimulated, and then someone suddenly shows up, and it is easy to be tempted.
The reality is like this, the film dealers in France doubled directly, and other film dealers had to follow suit.
In the end, even though the French film studio only received 80 knives in the end, they charged at least 300 million more.
"Well, when the time comes, you can settle the share after the release in North America!" Jennifer Aniston sat in his arms and looked at him affectionately.
She felt she had taken too much.
She really did almost nothing, just arranged for someone to buy the movie according to what he said.
So, she really has no more extravagant hopes.
Han Sheng smiled and shook his head, put his head into her arms, sniffed her fragrant breath, and said softly, "Baby, do you know how precious you are in my heart!"
Jennifer Aniston was really touched.
She hugged him tightly, almost exhausting all her strength.
Kissing him, whispering, "Bad guy, why are you so nice to me...!"
