China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 572 Cannes, goddess

There was no rehearsal the next morning, so Xin Zhilei rarely slept for a while.

When she wakes up.

Everyone was confused.

I touched the edge, but it was empty.

Where did a living person like Reba go?

"Reba?"

After shouting several times, there was no response. He picked up the phone and found that Reba had sent him a message.

"Why do you work so hard when you wake up so early to exercise?"

After washing up, Xin Zhilei, who was rubbing her sleepy eyes, met Reba in the hotel gym.

"It's getting late, exercise more, it will help maintain the condition of your skin."

"real or fake?"

"It's scientifically based."

Reba was trotting on the treadmill, her ponytail swaying on the back of her head.

Wearing a sports short T-shirt on top and slightly tight sports pants on the bottom, they perfectly outline her slim and long legs.

The most offensive thing is the curve of the hips, it's so murderous.

Even Xin Zhilei, who was a woman, looked straight at her and felt even more ashamed.

Compared to sister Reba who worked so hard, I was just like a salted fish.

The film market was slightly deserted in April.

After three well-received literary films were released, the short and tight "My Deskmate" held its premiere simultaneously with "Rebirth: The Frozen Gate" and "The Master of Hypnotism", and then was released on May 1st.

"My Deskmate" had previously used Little Yellow Duck and Lin Gengxin to hype up the scandal, plus overwhelming publicity releases.

The box office revenue on the first day of release was only 1220 million, which was shocking.

Universe Dan is also an old unlucky guy. After the release of the so-called big-budget "Rebirth: The Frozen Gate", the box office on the first day was only 1950 million, which was obviously not as good as expected.

On the contrary, Xu Guangtou's "The Hypnotist" took in 2200 million yuan at the box office on its first day of release.

“This year’s May 1st stall is too hip-reaching.”

During a break in filming, Zhou Yutang glanced at the box office data compiled by Ni Ni and threw it aside.

In other words, if it can hit the box office during the May Day holiday, there will be several imported blockbusters soon, and it will most likely not be a match.

Time has entered May.

Qiong Yao wrote an open letter to General Manager Guang, accusing Yu Zheng of plagiarism, which shocked the entire entertainment industry.

This matter has nothing to do with Zhou Yutang. It should be filmed or filmed.

Xu Ke's "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" has finally reached the final stage. It is expected to be completed in May, and the later stage will be handled by Vision Media.

The casting process for "Now You See Me 2" is also going very smoothly.

After the two parties contacted each other, Loki agreed to star in the film's villain Angsa.

After signing the contract, the main cast was finalized, and Guo Fan was gearing up to coordinate the schedules of all parties, waiting for filming to start in July or August.

Jiang Xuezhen arranged the crew in an orderly manner, and Zhou Yutang and Zeng Li took leave in advance and flew directly to France.

Every year during the Cannes Film Festival, the weather is always very unpleasant.

Either it rains continuously during the red carpet, embarrassing all the beauties vying for beauty, or it can be cloudy and sunny for several days in a row, leaving people in a trance.

Ni Ni had done her homework and even brought an umbrella, but the strange thing was that when Zhou Yutang came to Cannes this year, the weather was surprisingly good.

It was always sunny and rarely rained.

"good sign!"

Li Shuang's eyebrows were beaming: "Yu Tang, before I came here, I consulted a very good master, and he said that this time is a good omen."

"Sister Shuang, when did you become so superstitious?" Zhou Yutang laughed dumbly.

“I would rather believe that something exists than something that doesn’t exist.”

Li Shuang smiled and said: "I think what he said is quite reasonable."

Sister Shuang has a strong ability to do things.

Let her bring her team here in advance, rent a venue, and do publicity.

When Zhou Yutang arrived, he could already see posters of "Chi Ling" hanging on the outer walls of the Carlton Hotel.

Wai Guoren’s understanding of China probably excludes kung fu and includes pandas and opera.

Zhou Yutang was not idle either and went to his own stall.

His positioning for "Chi Ling" is very clear.

The domestic box office is worth looking forward to.

As for copyrights in other regions, we can negotiate as long as the price is right.

At present, most of the filmmakers and production companies who buy and sell copyrights have come over.

I saw the poster of "Chi Ling" and exchanged a few words with the people around me. I couldn't help but stop and watch.

They are all professionals in this circle, and they have already targeted films in the main competition before Cannes begins.

There are many big fish this year, and Zhou Yutang is one of them.

He just won the Berlin Silver Bear for Best Director the year before last, and he is a top-tier commercial film director in Asia and enjoys a high reputation internationally.

"Everyone is thinking about picking up some."

Li Shuang was a little depressed: "The price is not high."

"Not urgent."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed: "Let's wait and see first."

During the annual Cannes Film Festival, the film trading market is unprecedentedly hot.

Except for filmmakers and professional journalists from all over the world.

At least a thousand film companies gathered together, and despite the impact of the European debt crisis last year, they still achieved a transaction volume of over US$11 billion in 10 days.

There are quite a few big fish this year and the numbers are only going to be higher.

Those guys are all old foxes who have become sophisticated, deliberately lowering the price and wanting to bet in advance.

La Peikang called. He still had several important meetings to hold, and he would probably not come back for another two days.

Met a lot of acquaintances at the hotel.

Li Yuchun, who was invited by the brand, and Zhang Ziyi, who had just won the Best Actress Award at the 4th Beijing International Film Festival.

When people in a foreign land hear a familiar language, they can't help but feel a little warm and greet each other.

Huang Xiaoming and Qin Lan had just traveled to Switzerland with their parents and made headlines in the entertainment industry. Then they took Qin Lan to Cannes.

The two looked intimate at the airport and became a hot topic again.

It would be really difficult to end this without marriage.

It's rare to meet an old friend in a foreign country. Zhou Yutang was chatting with Huang Xiaoming when suddenly a woman came over with a smile on her face: "Director Zhou, I didn't expect to meet you here."

She didn't forget to say hello to Huang Xiaoming: "Hello, Xiaoming."

"Hello, Ms. Deng."

"What a coincidence."

Zhou Yutang looked calm.

The only one who could go from poverty to current position and live up to the heroine template in female pornographic novels is the one in front of me.

"I heard from a friend that you are planning to acquire a Premier League team recently?"

"Ms. Deng is really well-informed."

Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly: "But we still need to evaluate and discuss it again."

"I have many friends in the UK. If you need help, please feel free to contact me."

Deng Wendi's tone was so sincere that even Zhou Yutang couldn't help but feel warm. She chuckled and said, "Thank you, Ms. Deng, for your kindness."

This woman had a high emotional intelligence and did not continue to disturb the conversation between the two. She found an excuse to leave first.

Zhou Yutang has met many women, but when it comes to rank, Deng Wendi is definitely the strongest.

You will feel very comfortable getting along with this woman. This has nothing to do with appearance, but perfect compatibility driven by dual quotients.

of course.

The premise is that you must have the value to make her feel that she should do that.

That's the case with Murdoch.

Now it has been revealed that the same is true for the British politician and celebrity Blair.

Some time ago, the divorce lawsuit between Wendi Deng and Rupert Murdoch was in full swing. After reading Vanity Fair magazine's exposure of the overly explicit diary written by Wendi Deng to Blair, Zhou Yutang mourned three seconds of silence for the old man, Rupert Murdoch.

No wonder Lao Deng announced the divorce without any warning. He probably broke his defense and had to expend gold coins.

They have been fighting over the divorce property issue, and it was not settled until last month.

Deng Wendi got a courtyard house with a total value of at least over 100 million.

"Yu Tang, do you really want to buy a team?" Huang Xiaoming was obviously more interested in Zhou Yutang's ideas than Deng Wendi.

"There is this idea, but it will require a lot of funds. We have to wait and see."

"Then you really have to be careful."

There are many activities throughout the festival.

Every event is a rare opportunity to appear, and actresses from all walks of life prepare for this day long in advance.

Some exaggerated female celebrities can even prepare more than a dozen sets of dresses to increase their presence in various ways.

What should I do if the foreign media doesn’t recognize me?
If you bring your own photographer, you can shoot whatever you want. When the time comes, you can send it back to China and cooperate with the team to do a wave of publicity. Then you will be an international celebrity.

Zhou Yutang is not very interested in walking on the red carpet and only participates in the opening and closing ceremonies.

Ni Ni had already arranged a dress for him.

The same goes for Zeng Li.

Sister Jiangdong came here just to accompany Zhou Yutang, and she was in a very relaxed state.

She always felt that her vacation was not long enough, so she took a trip to Europe after filming Renyi.

But I didn't have all the fun, so I flew back to join the group to join "Celebrating More Than Years 2".

This time, following Zhou Yutang's leave from the crew, it was like taking a long vacation, not to mention how comfortable it was.

The opening ceremony was the day after tomorrow, and there was nothing to do while staying here. Zhou Yutang simply gave Ni Ni a day off and asked her to accompany Zeng Li around.

What is there to say?

Not stealing is not Italy, not robbing is not France.

The people in France are simple and simple, so Zhou Yutang assigned security personnel to them just in case.

He himself is very busy.

There is a time difference between the two sides, but they have not forgotten to pay attention to the operation of the crew of "Celebrating More Than Years 2". Jiang Xuerou will report the latest filming progress of the crew every day.

Xu Ke's "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" has also entered its final stage.

Li Shuang has already arranged the evaluation process, screening plan and a series of publicity activities with his team.

I collected a lot of business cards.

I also took the time to meet with Masami Nagasawa.

Yamei is the star of "The Wheel", and this time she came to Cannes with Wu Baige for promotion.

"Yami."

"uh-huh?"

"It feels like your skin is in great condition."

Song Hye Kyo, who was in the same crew, saw Masami Nagasawa who was looking extremely radiant after disappearing all afternoon, and said with envy: "How do you usually take care of yourself?"

"Thank you."

Nagasawa Masami smoothed her hair and showed her signature smile:
"Actually, it's just a normal skin care routine. Maybe I'm in a good mood, so I look in good condition."

When the topic of skin care came up, the relationship between the two quickly became closer. Song Hye Kyo suddenly asked:
"Are you familiar with Director Zhou Yutang?"

"we are good friends."

Nagasawa Masami smiled and said: "We have collaborated in "Now You See Me"."

"Wow, this movie is taking Asia by storm. It's amazing."

Song Hye Kyo's eyes changed slightly.

"Yes, Director Zhou Yutang is a very powerful man."

"I heard that a sequel is going to be made. Are you participating?"

"no."

Masami Nagasawa shook his head: "The investment for the sequel will be larger than the first one, and Hollywood stars will be invited."

"The first film had a high box office in Asia and performed well at the North American box office. Maybe the sequel will be released globally."

"Maybe."

Nagasawa Masami shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "With his ability, he can sell the movie even in North America."

"Yami."

"Ok?"

"That's it."

Song Hye Kyo said: "If possible, could you please introduce me to Director Zhou?"

"Eh?"

Nagasawa Masami was slightly stunned: "Why do you suddenly want to know him?"

She didn't agree and asked instead.

"He is preparing to make a movie with our Korean entertainment company."

Song Hye Kyo said earnestly: "If nothing else happens, this will be the most anticipated big production this year."

……

"Boss, Song Hye Kyo wants to treat you to dinner?"

Ni Ni was a little curious after receiving the message from Masami Nagasawa.

At her age, she had watched "Blue Lives Matter" and "Full House" in elementary school. Song Hye Kyo was the Hallyu goddess popular in Asia at that time.

In recent years, we haven’t seen any blockbuster film and television works from Song Hye Kyo.

But in terms of celebrity status, she is undoubtedly the first-line female star in the South Korean entertainment industry.

"Boss, what's the answer?"

"I'm very busy, so I won't make an appointment."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and said with a smile: "She came here for that movie."

"Boss, you are talking about the movie "Broken Tomb"." Ni Ni suddenly said.

Song Hye Kyo has been developing towards the Chinese entertainment industry in recent years.

I participated in Wang Jiawei's "The Grandmaster", but it only took a few minutes of the scene and two lines, and I was filmed vomiting blood.

She probably also learned about Zhou Yutang's cooperation project with SHOWBOX from some channels, and had the idea of ​​taking advantage of it and taking a back door.

"Yes."

Zhou Yutang nodded: "This drama is a cake left for Zhien."

For this movie called "Broken Tomb", the flat floor of Jiangdong Creative Center has developed the script according to Zhou Yutang's ideas and led a team of screenwriters.

Different from the approach of "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp", this story follows the path of Feng Shui Tombs, with some elements of horror, thriller, and suspense.

The script isn't that great, but it's still a qualified commercial film.

Last year, "The Secret of the Dragon" became a big hit in South Korea. Many fans highly praised the theory of Feng Shui tombs, and the market prospects are quite optimistic.

Although the Korean won is not as fragrant as the US dollar, it is nothing if you don’t make money.

On the 14th, it was still sunny.

evening.

The 67th Cannes International Film Festival officially kicked off.

On both sides of the red carpet, there was a sea of ​​media.

All of them were wearing suits and ties, holding long guns and short cannons, and kept snapping pictures.

Kendall Jenner looked charming in a black and white color-blocked appliquéd suspender dress, and Blake Lively looked stunning in a Gucci haute couture dress.

The latter's sharp eyes saw Zhou Yutang and smiled at him.

Reporters frequently looked in the direction of Zhou Yutang.

Some people were confused, while others recognized Zhou Yutang and excitedly whispered to their colleagues.

"Sister Li, are you nervous?"

Suddenly he felt his arms tighten, and Zhou Yutang seemed to be able to feel Zeng Li's emotions.

"A little."

Zeng Li nodded.

In front of Zhou Yutang, she didn't need to pretend at all.

After so many years since her debut, this is the first time that the Tsing Yi beauty has walked on the three major red carpets in Europe.

Teacher Fan is still filming on the set this year, but unfortunately he is absent, and only Ji Ji Zhang and Gong Li are there to support the scene.

"I am here."

Patting the back of Zeng Li's hand, the two looked at each other, and Zeng Li suddenly felt inexplicably relieved.

After adjusting her posture, Zeng Li held the arm of the man next to her. Dressed in an elegant black dress, Zeng Li looked beautiful with oriental charm.

Zhou Yutang held the beauty's waist as thin as a willow, and his aura was in full swing.

Many reporters at the scene stared straight-eyed.
