Chapter 184: Should I Focus on Participation?

Their travelers did not choose to fly directly to Cannes, but arrived in Paris first.

Just last year, Dingzun Group opened a large store on the Dingshe shopping street in Paris. It also attracted several famous design masters in the industry and opened a European design center with high salaries.

Although we are going to build a top luxury brand in China, Europe and the United States are still international fashion centers. Even after Tao Qingran’s introduction, their Dingzun Group also opened a cosmetics research institute in Japan to develop a series of herbal cosmetics suitable for oriental skin. From the beginning, it has been internationalized and has begun a global layout.

Tao Qingran must have a company business to deal with. As soon as he arrived in Paris, he started to be busy with his team.

Huo Dong and Tao Xue were also very busy, busy trying on the red carpet dresses prepared by Dingzun Group. To be fair, those clothing designers did make extraordinary moves. They did not make subversive changes like Huafu. Otherwise, they would be like two opera singers in such a formal occasion.

Huo Dong's men's clothing is based on a Western-style dress, but it has many Chinese elements. Tao Xue is easier. She has a long streamer on the palace skirt and a small diamond crown on her hair bun. She has a combination of Chinese and Western styles, which is also quite outstanding.

In addition to dresses, Dingzun Group has prepared a lot of casual wear for daily wear. Tao Qingran adopts a multi-brand strategy. In the future, in addition to the several brands of Tingxu, Light Hide also has a series of brands. At that time, various endorsements may be classified. But now it is the initial stage and it does not need to be clearly divided. For the time being, all of them will be endorsed by Huo Dong and Tao Xue.

After staying in Paris for a day, most of the team left behind. Tao Qingran, Huo Dong and others set off for Cannes.

The person who came to pick him up was named Wang Qi. He is the person in charge of Huaying Overseas, mainly responsible for distributing domestic films overseas.

A first-class film festival like the Cannes Film Festival is not only for awards, but also for the main film trading market. Therefore, Wang Qi will lead the team this time.

"Hello, Mr. Tao. Dongzi is right? Miss Tao is so beautiful. Haha."

As soon as they met, Wang Qi was very enthusiastic and even seemed a little too excited. As soon as he got on the bus, he explained the reason. It turned out that Chinese-language films achieved great success at this Cannes Film Festival and their results were quite impressive.

There are as many as five Chinese films exhibited this time. Three of them entered the main competition unit, and one of them was also invited to the closing ceremony although they did not enter. According to the convention of the film festival, they should have won awards in the non-contest unit. Therefore, Chinese filmmakers such as Wang Qi were very proud and were about to turn this film festival into the Chinese New Year.

Since they have entered the final competition unit and said that Huo Dong has no idea at all, it is impossible. So he was going to ask Wang Qi, how likely is there to win the award? There is definitely no hope for the grand prize, but it is also good to win a few small prizes?

Unexpectedly, before Huo Dong could speak, Tao Qingran became even more anxious: "Xiao Wang, do you have any news? Do we have any chance?"

Wang Qi's smile froze, and then said tactfully: "Mr. Tao, let's talk about the Chinese-language film that entered the main competition unit. The critics of "Dream of Hometown" are second to last, and the audience score is relatively higher, ranking around ten. The most promising one is director Xie Yun's "Begging Alchemy", which is one of the most popular awards. There are also "Dream of Hometown" by young Hong Kong director He Jiuyue, which is also highly praised and has a high artistic quality. With these two fates, "Dream of Hometown"...it's more to participate!"

Seeing Tao Qingran frowning slightly, Huo Dong and Tao Xue were also calm, Wang Qi smiled and comforted: "Actually, this is nothing. Being able to enter the main competition unit means that the film and actors have been recognized by international filmmakers. This qualification is also rare. Dongzi and Miss Tao are still young and have great potential in the future. And I also heard that the judges in the jury are controversial about the entry of "Dream of Hometown" into the main competition unit. It is this time that the chairman, Mr. Adelman, insisted on it and finally put it on the list. So..."

Huo Dong was a little disappointed, and he was also a little relieved. Sure enough, there was a certain amount of luck in it, not that his own video was particularly outstanding.

Moreover, this year is the Little Year of the Film Festival, and there are almost no international famous directors participating in the exhibition. That's why I succeeded in stealing the chicken, which is already considered a good luck.

But even so, compared with an unknown person like himself, the directors of other films are even more famous. For example, Xie Yun, his films have won small awards at three major film festivals several times. Although there are no major awards, they are completely different from themselves in terms of fame.

Huo Dong had completely given up, but Tao Qingran began to roll his eyes. He suddenly said, "Xiao Wang, thank you for your hard work this time. We will find a place to have a meal later. I just want to ask for some advice."

Wang Qi was stunned, and then he smiled with understanding: "Mr. Tao, then I'm better obey my orders than respect!"

"hehe."

Huo Dong almost burst into laughter. Seeing Tao Qingran's appearance, he must have wanted to use some small means. For his precious daughter, this tiger father can be said to have fought hard. Don't think that the three major film festivals are very fair and just. There are still many public relations methods. The key is whether you are willing to spend money!

Thinking of this, Huo Dong remembered himself again. If he were in his previous life, he might have been exactly the same as Tao Qingran. He would really do whatever he wanted to succeed. There would be no psychological barriers, because businessmen do this.

But now I am actually considering the quality of the film first. I am really at a disadvantage and give up like that. It seems that my mentality has become completely different. Is this the difference between businessmen and art?

Tao Qingran glanced at Huo Dong and understood that he had seen through his intentions. He patted Huo Dong: "The opportunity is rare, and you have to do your best every time!"

In fact, Huo Dong doesn't hate Tao Qingran's approach. He won't have such moral cleanliness: "Uncle Tao, we young people are more frivolous in doing things, and we still need your elders to care more about it."

"Yes." Tao Qingran nodded with satisfaction.

But Tao Xue was confused: "Dad, I'm not frigid? Although I only have one in ten thousand chances, I also need ten thousand efforts. Besides, there are only fifteen videos, so we have at least 15% chance?"

"ha?"

Huo Dong almost knelt down for Tao Xue. Just like your math, is it embarrassing to come out?

Seeing Huo Dong's expression, the eldest lady was immediately dissatisfied. She threw the napkin in her hand at Huo Dong: "Smelly winter melon, why are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"

"Yes, yes! Hahaha!"
