Chapter 572 Cannes, Goddess

Chapter 572 Cannes, Goddess

The next morning, there was no rehearsal, so Xin Zhilei slept in for a rare time.

When she woke up.

She was completely confused.

She touched the side, but it was empty.

Where did Reba go?

"Reba?"

She called a few times, but there was no response. She picked up her phone and found that Reba had sent her a message.

"Why are you working so hard to get up so early to exercise?"

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

"It's not early anymore. Exercising more helps maintain your skin condition."

"Is it true?"

"There is a scientific basis for it."

Reba trotted on the treadmill, with her ponytail swaying behind her head.

She wore a short sports T-shirt on top and slightly tight sports pants on the bottom, which perfectly outlined her slender and long legs.

The most foul thing was the curve of her hips, which was simply bloodless.

Even Xin Zhilei, a woman, stared at her and felt even more ashamed.

Compared with Reba, who works so hard, I am just a nobody.

The movie market in April was a little quiet.

After three well-received art films were released, Ai Dajin's "My Deskmate" held its premiere at the same time as "Rebirth: The Ice Gate" and "Hypnotist", and then they were released together during the May Day holiday.

"My Deskmate" previously hyped up the scandal with Little Yellow Duck and Lin Gengxin, plus the overwhelming publicity press releases.

The box office on the first day of release was only 12.2 million, which was shocking.

Yuzhou Dan was also an old unlucky guy. After the release of "Rebirth: The Ice Gate", which was known as a big production, the box office on the first day was only 19.5 million, which was obviously not as expected.

On the contrary, Xu Guangtou's "Hypnotist" won 22 million yuan in box office on the first day of release.

"This year's May Day holiday is too bad."

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

That is to say, they can take advantage of the May Day holiday to rush the box office. Then there will be several imported blockbusters, and they are likely to be no match.

Time entered May.

Qiong Yao wrote an open letter to Guang Zong, suing Yu Zheng for plagiarism, which shocked the entire entertainment industry.

This matter has nothing to do with Zhou Yutang. He should eat melons and film movies.

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

The casting of "Now You See Me 2" also went smoothly.

After the two sides met, Loki agreed to play the villain of the film, Ansa.

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

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

During the Cannes Film Festival every year, the weather is always very unkind.

Either it rained on the red carpet, embarrassing the beauties who were competing for beauty, or it was cloudy and sunny for several days, making people confused.

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

It was sunny all the time, and it was rare that it didn't rain.

"Good omen!"

Li Shuang was beaming with joy: "Yutang, before I came here, I consulted a very spiritual master, and he said that this time it was a good omen."

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

"It's better to believe it than not to believe it."

Li Shuang smiled and said, "I think what he said makes sense."

Sister Shuang is very capable in doing things.

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

When Zhou Yutang arrived, she could already see the posters of "Red Ling" hanging on the exterior wall of the Carlton Hotel.

Foreigners' understanding of China, apart from kung fu, is probably pandas and opera.

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

He had a clear positioning for "Red Ling".

The domestic box office is worth looking forward to.

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

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

After seeing the poster of "Red Ling", I exchanged a few words with the people around me and couldn't help but stop to watch.

They are all professionals in this circle. Long before the start of Cannes, they had already set their sights on the films in the main competition unit.

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

He won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director in Berlin the year before last, and he is a top-tier commercial film director in Asia, and he is also well-known internationally.

"One by one, they all want to pick up some bargains."

Li Shuang was a little depressed: "The prices are not high."

"No hurry."

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

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

In addition to filmmakers and professional journalists from all over the world.

At least thousands of film companies gathered together. Last year, despite the impact of the European debt crisis, the transaction volume still reached over 1 billion US dollars in 11 days.

There are many big fish this year, and the number will only be higher.

Those guys are old foxes who have become smart. They deliberately lower the price and want to bet in advance.

La Peikang called and said that he had several important meetings to attend and would probably come in two days.

I met many acquaintances in the hotel.

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

When people are in a foreign land, they can't help but feel a little cordial when they hear familiar language. They exchanged a few words when they met.

Huang Xiaoming had just accompanied his parents on a tour in Switzerland with Qin Lan, which made the headlines of the entertainment industry. Then he brought Qin Lan to Cannes.

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

It would be difficult to end this without getting married.

It was rare to meet an old friend in a foreign land. 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 greet Huang Xiaoming: "Xiaoming, hello."

"Hello, Ms. Deng."

"What a coincidence."

Zhou Yutang looked calm.

The only person who could go from being penniless to being in this position and living like the heroine template in female-oriented novels is probably the one in front of him.

"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 need to evaluate and discuss it further."

"I know a lot of friends in the UK. If you need any help, feel free to contact me."

Deng Wendi's tone was very sincere, and even Zhou Yutang felt warm unconsciously. He smiled softly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Ms. Deng."

This woman has a high EQ, and she didn't continue to interrupt the conversation between the two. She found an excuse to leave first.

Zhou Yutang has met many women, but in terms of rank, Deng Wendi is the strongest king.

You will feel very comfortable when you get along with this woman. This has nothing to do with appearance, but the perfect compatibility driven by dual EQ and external compatibility.

Of course.

The premise is that you have to have the value that makes her feel that she should do so.

This is the case with Murdoch.

This is also the case with the British politician and celebrity Blair who is now exposed.

Some time ago, the divorce lawsuit between Wendi Deng and Murdoch was in full swing. After reading the "Vanity Fair" magazine that just exposed the diary that Wendi Deng wrote to Blair, which was too explicit, Zhou Yutang mourned for Murdoch for three seconds in his heart.

No wonder Murdoch announced the divorce without any warning. It was probably because he broke the big defense and had to explode the gold coins.

They had been arguing about the divorce property issue until last month.

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

"Yutang, do you really want to buy a team?"

Compared with Wendi Deng, Huang Xiaoming was obviously more interested in Zhou Yutang's idea.

"I have this idea, but it will cost a lot of money, and I have to see."

"That really needs to be cautious."

There are many activities during the entire film festival.

Each event is a rare opportunity to show up, and all kinds of female stars have prepared for this day long in advance.

Some exaggerated female stars can even prepare more than a dozen dresses and use various methods to show their presence.

What if the foreign media don't know them?

Bring your own photographer, shoot whatever you want, and then send it back to China, cooperate with the team's press release to do a wave of publicity, then you will be an international celebrity.

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

Ni Ni has already arranged a dress for him.

Zeng Li is the same.

Jiangdong's No. 1 sister came here to accompany Zhou Yutang, and she was in a very relaxed state.

She always felt that the vacation time was not long enough, so she went to Europe after filming Ren Yi.

But she didn't have enough fun, so she flew back and joined the crew of "Celebrating Yu Nian 2".

This time, I asked for leave from the crew with Zhou Yutang, which was equivalent to a small long vacation, not to mention how comfortable it was.

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

What's the saying?

If you don't steal, it's not Italy, and if you don't rob, it's not France.

The people in France are simple and honest. Just in case, Zhou Yutang equipped them with security personnel.

He is also very busy.

Despite the time difference between the two sides, he has not forgotten to pay attention to the operation of the crew of "Joy of Life 2". Jiang Xueruo reports the crew's latest shooting progress every day.

Xu Ke's "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" has also entered the final stage.

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

Received a lot of business cards.

He also took the time to meet with Nagasawa Masami.

Masami is the leading actress of "The Crossing", and this time she came to Cannes with Wu Baige to promote it.

"Yami."

"Hmm?"

"Your skin looks great."

Song Hye Kyo, who was in the same crew, saw Nagasawa Masami, who was radiant after disappearing for an afternoon, and asked with some envy: "How do you usually take care of yourself?"

"Thank you."

Nagasawa Masami gathered her hair and showed her signature smile:

"It's just a normal skin care routine. Maybe I'm in a good mood, so I look good."

When it comes to the topic of skin care, the two of them 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 worked together in "Now You See Me."

"Wow, this movie is sweeping across Asia, it's amazing."

Song Hye Kyo's eyes changed slightly.

"Yes, Director Zhou Yutang is an amazing man."

"I heard that there will be a sequel. Are you participating?"

"No."

Nagasawa Masami shook her head: "The sequel will be invested more than the first one, and Hollywood stars will be invited."

"The first movie had a high box office in Asia and performed very well in North America. The sequel may be released worldwide."

"Maybe."

Masami Nagasawa shrugged and smiled: "With his ability, he can be a hit even in North America."

"Masami."

"Hmm?"

"That's right."

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

"Huh?"

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

She did not agree, but asked back.

"He and our Korean entertainment company are preparing to make a movie."

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

...

"Boss, Song Hye Kyo wants to treat you to a meal?"

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

At her age, she had watched "Autumn in My Heart" and "Full House" in elementary school. At that time, Song Hye Kyo was a Korean goddess who was popular in Asia.

In recent years, I haven't seen any hit film and television works by Song Hye Kyo.

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

"Boss, what's up?"

"I'm very busy, no appointment."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and laughed, "She came for that movie."

"Boss, you mean the movie "Broken Tomb." Ni Ni suddenly realized.

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

She participated in Wang Jiawei's "The Grandmaster", but she only had a few minutes of scenes and two lines, and she was filmed to the point of vomiting blood.

She probably also learned about Zhou Yutang's cooperation project with SHOWBOX from some channels, and had the idea of ​​hugging thighs and taking backdoors.

"That's right."

Zhou Yutang nodded: "This play is a cake for Ji Eun."

For this movie called "Broken Tomb", the flat floor of Jiangdong Creative Center has already written the script with the screenwriter team according to Zhou Yutang's idea.

Unlike "Ghost Blowing Light", this story follows the path of Feng Shui tombs, with some horror, thriller, and suspense elements.

The script is not very colorful, but it is also a qualified commercial film.

Last year, "The Lost Tomb" was a big hit in South Korea. Many Koreans highly praise the Feng Shui burial theory, and the market prospects are quite optimistic.

Although the Korean won is not as popular as the US dollar, it is a good thing to make money.

On the 14th, it was still sunny.

In the evening.

The 67th Cannes International Film Festival officially kicked off.

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

They were all in suits and bow ties, holding long guns and short guns, snapping and snapping non-stop.

Kendall Jenner was charming in a black and white patchwork suspender dress, and Blake Lively was beautiful in a Gucci haute couture dress.

The latter was sharp-eyed and smiled at Zhou Yutang when she saw him.

Reporters frequently looked in Zhou Yutang's direction.

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

"Sister Li, are you nervous?"

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

"A little bit." Zeng Li nodded.

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

After so many years of debut, this is the first time that the beauty in blue has walked the three major red carpets in Europe.

This year, Teacher Fan is still filming in the crew, so it's a pity that she is absent. Only Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li are there to support the show.

"I'm here."

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

Adjusting her state, holding the arm of the man next to her, Zeng Li, in an elegant black dress, has an oriental charm.

Zhou Yutang held the beauty's willow-like waist, and her aura was fully open.

Many reporters at the scene stared straight at her.
