During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 92 Trip to Cannes
  "Xiao Jin, what do you think of this skirt?"

"Sister Li, you look good no matter what you wear."

"How about this one?"

"It's beautiful too."

"Huh, you just know how to deal with me."

Wei Jin looked speechlessly at Sister Li who was trying on clothes in front of the full-length mirror. This was the countless times that Sister Li had asked his opinion, but unfortunately she never heard it.

"Forget it, the color of this one is too bright, it still looks better than the previous one."

Zeng Li turned around twice and took back the piece just now.

Wei Jin was also puzzled, how could Zeng Li, a woman with a calm temperament, shop just like any other woman? Could it be that at such a time, women would be stimulated to have some hidden attributes?
  Wei Jin took a sip of the coffee brought by the waiter and ignored the shopping woman, it was too much trouble.

This is a clothing store on the Champs Elysées in Paris. It is not a well-known domestic brand, but it is said that the designer is well-known in the Paris fashion circle. From Wei Jin's perspective, the designs of some clothes are quite good. .

Seeing that Zeng Li was still having trouble choosing, Wei Jin used his money skills and directly confessed that he had bought them all. Only children had to do multiple-choice questions, and of course adults had to do it.

However, Sister Li complained for a while. Wei Jin could see that what women want when buying things is the pleasure of "finding their favorite thing in a difficult choice", and he couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead. .

After paying the bill, the two went to the hotel.

"Our flight is around four o'clock in the afternoon?"

"Yes, so we will meet Lao Zhu and the others later, and we will set off for Cannes."

Today is May 5th. Wei Jin and Zeng Li arrived in Paris five days ago, and the opening ceremony of the film festival will not be held until the evening of the 16th.

The main reason for coming so early was to have fun. Zeng Li was so popular in China that he never had the chance to hang out with Wei and Jin. It was rare to come to Europe together this time, and no one knew them, so they had to spend some time outside to enjoy themselves.

Wei Jin also hoped to take this opportunity to spend more time with Sister Li. In the past five days, the two of them visited many well-known local attractions, such as the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, and the Arc de Triomphe. They just walked around like ordinary couples. It's a lot of fun to visit here and see there, and it can be regarded as a proper way to relax and take a vacation.

Soon the two returned to the hotel to clean up. As soon as they arrived in the lobby, they saw Liu Yan and Zhu Wei who were already prepared.

"Mr. Wei, did you have fun?"

Liu Yan asked with a smile. She knew her position very well and would not have any inexplicable ideas.

"It's okay. I bought you something. I'll see if you like it later. Sister Li chose it all."

This time, Wei Jin brought his assistant Liu Yan with him. She will be a program host in the second half of the year. She may also develop in this direction in the future. She will not have much time to stay with him.

"Thank you boss, thank you Sister Li."

Liu Yan was a little surprised. She thought she would be targeted by Zeng Li.

Zeng Li just nodded, not particularly friendly.

Zeng Li has also learned about the affairs between Wei Jin and Liu Yan in the past few days, but since the knot in her heart has been opened, she no longer has to worry about it. Moreover, as an assistant, something happened between Liu Yan and her boss. In the entertainment industry It's normal. I'm just a little annoyed. Wei Jin actually wanted to have a threesome. At least he didn't succeed, but he was no match for him, and he didn't know how long he could hold on.
  "Okay, let's check our things, we're going to the airport soon."

Wei Jin finally exchanged a few words with a few people.

The four of them are not all members participating in the Cannes Film Festival this time. Producer Chen Zhiming, photographer Zhao Rui, actor Wu Lei's family and other staff will not arrive in Cannes until tomorrow. Wu Lei, who is less than 7 years old this year, was very popular with Wei Jin and Zeng Li during the filming. This time, the company paid for their family to spend a week in Cannes, which can be considered a small benefit.

After an hour and a half of flight, everyone finally landed at Nice Airport. Soon everyone saw the sign held by the official staff of the film festival.

"Hi Wei, I'm Ally Fumao, we're on the phone. Welcome to Cannes."

A middle-aged man in his forties, wearing glasses and somewhat capable, walked up to greet Wei Jin and his party.

"Oh, Mr. Fu Mao, hello, we finally meet."

Wei Jin knew this person, a well-known French film critic and film activist. He had been the artistic director of the Cannes Film Festival since 2001 and was considered a diplomat of the Cannes Film Festival.

This time "Room" was able to enter the main competition section. In addition to Wei Jin's reputation, this guy's recommendation also helped. The two talked on the phone before.

The Cannes Film Festival usually has three film selection groups, one group is responsible for selecting French films, one group is responsible for selecting foreign films, and the last group is responsible for discovering potential filmmakers around the world.

There are four to five people in each group. In addition to the film festival chairman, artistic director, film selection committee chairman, etc., there will also be some film critics, reporters, film lovers, etc.

However, the film selection team is very busy, and a person has to watch at least more than a thousand movies a year, so few people will watch the movie from beginning to end.

Therefore, if you are an award-winning director at the three major European film festivals, the submitted films will be prioritized for viewing. If you can get recommendations from relevant industry insiders, it will be easier to be shortlisted.

After everyone got acquainted with each other, the car quickly drove to the seaside town of Cannes, and finally stopped in front of a seven-story white luxury building on the world-famous Croisette Avenue in Cannes.

Wei Jin knew that this was the Martinez Hotel, the official partner hotel of Cannes, where he was going to stay this time.

This hotel is one of the best hotels in the area, with the largest private beach in the area and a two-star Michelin restaurant.

The hotel rooms and suites have viewing terraces with a bird's-eye view of the Mediterranean Sea, Mount Estrel and the city of Cannes.

However, not everyone in the "Room" crew is eligible to live here. The Cannes Organizing Committee has provided the crew with 5 free accommodations and reimbursed round-trip air tickets.

But Wei Jin is the only one living here, and the other four places are in the nearby Majestic Hotel.

In addition, for the extra personnel, the company has already arranged for the nearby Wuyang Hotel, which is also very close, only a ten-minute walk.

It must be said here that the three major film festivals are very powerful. Before Wei Jin was shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, only one person's air tickets and accommodation were reimbursed, and only economy class was reimbursed for the round trip.

This time Wei Jin was shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival. He was no longer a newcomer, but a young director with a reputation all over the world. Only then were five free places given, and the air tickets were reimbursed for round-trip first class. In this way, the Martinez Hotel also He was the only one to be accommodated, but there was no other way. This place was reserved for big names in the film festival.

After gathering his mood, Wei Jin quickly completed the check-in procedures and came to his room. It was a suite with a living room of 20 square meters, which was not bad.

Outside the balcony, you can see the blue Mediterranean Sea at a glance, which is refreshing.

After mentally thanking the Cannes Organizing Committee for the arrangement, Wei Jin tidied up a little and prepared to check on Zeng Li and their accommodation.

But as soon as he came downstairs, he heard someone greeting him, still in Chinese.

"Director Wei, it's really you, long time no see!"
