Cannes is a tourist destination in southern France. Because palms are everywhere in the city, the highest award in Cannes, the "Golden Duck Award" was changed to the "Golden Palme d'Or" in 1957. The Cannes Film Festival resisted the Venetian Film Festival, which was controlled by fascists.

It was founded in 1946, and it was suspended twice due to financial difficulties.

However, that is the history of gossip in the early years. Cannes is now the first of the three major film festivals. This is determined by the characteristics of Cannes. Venice is too focused on art, while Berlin takes the ideological route, only Cannes can

It is considered to be compatible with business and art, so it is inevitable that a large number of commercial and art films can be attracted to participate.

The 41st Cannes has attracted publishers around the world to find prey that can make a lot of money for them. It is undeniable that no matter how literary and artistic the film is, it always has a certain market. As long as the business can be correctly grasped, it is a good idea.

Value will definitely be profitable.

There are quite a few people participating in the 10-day tour of Cannes by Phantom. As the manager of the distribution department, Ge Wenqiu attached great importance to this film festival under Xiao Ran's instructions and specially brought his subordinates to the Cannes Fair.

However, for citizens in Hong Kong who are very curious, they are undoubtedly the stars in this team. Xiao Ran naturally needs to be said. Who doesn’t know this diamond fifth in the city? Of course, Fa Ge and Lin Qingxia are also

The focus of concern.

The Hong Kong media found it strange. They didn't quite understand why Lin Qingxia went to Cannes. Originally, there was basically no share in this movie. However, a newspaper randomly speculated that Lin Qingxia was trying to cheer up for "fucking her brother" Xiao Ran, so she only had one.

Past.

Zhang Manyu, Liu Hua and Wang Jiawei's team "Mong Kok Carmen", plus the short film director Yang Chaoqun, the charm of the combined addition is obviously not as strong as the "Dark Flower" team. This time, in order to promote Su Renyao and Feng Fei'er, Xiao Ran gave them

They also brought it with them. However, they are all the protagonists.

Su Renyao is fine, but Feng Feier and Xiao Ran are very optimistic. He always thinks that this woman's performance is great, and it is very suitable to play a very bad or tough woman, but it is also suitable to play a very beautiful and charming one.

Women feel hopeful to compete with Zhang Manyu.

Don’t think that Zhang Manyu is from Jiahe. Her film contract with Jiahe has ended. In fact, a newcomer often needs to sign several drama contracts with a film company. Zhang Manyu filmed in Jiahe with this identity. The drama contract is over.

Then you will naturally be free. Once you are free, you can take movies from other companies at will.

This era of Chinese-language movies appearing in Cannes, which is obviously a relatively new thing. Therefore, when Xiao Ran and his group appeared, many foreign journalists took their cameras to shoot hard.

As the saying goes, the stars are shining, and Cannes is definitely worthy of this word. Compared with Cannes, the Academy Awards are simply a witch. There are countless foreign filmmakers gathered here. Of course, for the locals, Xiao Ran and others are also foreign films.

people.

However, for Xiao Ran, it was a very lucky thing to see Murray Abraham, the director of "Mozart", and Meryl Streep in "Sophie's Choice".

He didn't plan to go up and chat with him randomly. Now he is more interested in technicians than actors and directors.

The most important thing is that he didn't plan to keep going around the Cannes Film Festival for the first time. With this time, it would be better to accompany Lin Qingxia for more walks. So, in the next few days

In the Hong Kong and Taiwan journalists could not find traces of Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia.

That's of course. Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia rented a yacht and were playing. Although Brother Fa was quite helpless about it, he still couldn't take off his body and went for a walk. He could only complain to Xiao Ran every night.

On the third day, Cannes began to screen every shortlisted film. There were quite a lot of viewers who came to enjoy "Dark Flower". I think it was because the shortlisted works of Orientals made them curious. Xiao Ran and the others were still too lazy to go to the cinema to see the situation.

Anyway, there will be no international joke about standing up and applauding for fifteen minutes.

There were quite a lot of viewers who went to the cinema to enjoy "Dark Flower" that day, probably because France has always been interested in Chinese movies. On the screen, the audience saw a strange and stunning blood flower in the dark.

A seamless trap, two pieces whose destiny is not controlled by themselves. A gloomy and deep atmosphere, a violent but not bloody scene. When the audience saw Su Renyao throwing the ball out as if no one was around, they finally went in the dusty cell.

Bounced back into his hand.

The audience admired the passionate gunfight scene that was venting with all their hearts. The high-speed alternating pictures clearly created a strong sense of contrast and layering. When they thought that Achen could finally escape from the sky, a sound from behind

The indifferent gunshot brutally shattered the only hope of existence in the hearts of every audience.

At this moment, the entire cinema was as calm as the bottom of the sea. People could not calm down the feeling of being manipulated for a long time, and they could not get rid of the stunning feeling of entanglement. In less than a moment, the audience burst into applause and burst into pieces.

Brother and the others even felt that the applause was more enthusiastic than in Hong Kong cinemas.

Of course, Xiao Ran was not very aware of the numerous praises that "Dark Flower" received in the city. On the fifth night, Xiao Ran finally received good news from Paris: he had already acquired enough controlling stake in Leo, and it will be officially launched tomorrow

Announced the news that the Phantom took over Leo Company.

Xiao Ran couldn't help laughing, hugged Lin Qingxia, who was unknown, and said to her happily: "Now I have controlled Leo Company, the first step of the Phantom's intervention in the overseas market has finally gone away!"

"Really?" Lin Qingxia didn't quite understand what this meant before, but she now clearly understood that this represents the first step for the Phantom to step out of the global film empire. This is a very critical step, and she can win it.

This distribution company means that several Hong Kong films will impact the overseas market.

"Of course it's true!" Xiao Ran was excited for a moment, and soon calmed down and looked at Lin Qingxia with a smile: "Do we want to celebrate now? Maybe we can use some special methods?"

Lin Qingxia certainly knew what Xiao Ran meant and said slightly, "What are you talking nonsense? How can you do it here?"

At this moment, Brother Fa pushed the door and came in. Seeing the two of them embracing each other affectionately, he couldn't help but smile: "If you want to be intimate, you should wait until you go back to Hong Kong. It's still a bit inconvenient here!

”

Xiao Ran and Lin Qingxia were embarrassed for a moment, and Lin Qingxia even rolled her eyes to celebrate Xiao Ran's success. After each sat down, Xiao Ran pondered for a moment. He thought that some of his plans might be time for Brother Fa to know for convenience.

Your own plan.

"You are hiding and being lazy every day, this is not a solution!" Brother Fa smiled strangely, obviously joking with them: "Now Ayu and I are suffering outside every day, you don't know how uncomfortable it is!"

"Today, I have officially taken control of the French Leo Issuance Company!" Xiao Ran curled his smile and said to Fa Ge with a serious expression: "Brother Fa Ge, what do you think!"

"French Rio Distribution Company?" Fa Ge was surprised and couldn't react to Xiao Ran's expression changing quickly, and murmured and repeated. Suddenly, he understood and pointed at Xiao Ran in surprise: "Aran,

Are you planning to…”

"That's right, I'm indeed planning to enter the European market!" Xiao Ran stared at Brother Fa with a smile, stood up and went to the window and said slowly: "What I want is not only Europe, but North America and the whole world!"

Staring at Xiao Ran's back, Zhou Runfa really felt that his brain was not enough at this moment. When he first met Xiao Ran, he was just a small screenwriter who was not valued. Now Xiao Ran has not only changed the status of the screenwriter, but also

He became the number one screenwriter in Hong Kong and the owner of four major Hong Kong film companies, with a net worth of billions.

Sometimes he really felt that the world was changing too fast. In just over two years, Xiao Ran actually transformed and made today's achievements. This made Brother Fa feel unimaginable, but the facts were just naked.

In front of him, he could not help but admit that Xiao Ran was indeed a genius.

"So..." Xiao Ran suddenly turned around and stared at Brother Fa, and then looked at Lin Qingxia: "You must learn English, at least understand English, otherwise it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the international film industry in the future."

"I want to learn too?" Lin Qingxia was surprised and pointed her finger at the round nose and asked, "I don't need it anymore, I rarely take on roles!"

"No, you must learn!" Xiao Ran's tone was firm and there was no room for resistance. Now the two most powerful actors in his hands are Fa Ge and Lin Qingxia. No matter what, he must praise them as international.

Movie Star. To become a big star in the international film industry, English is essential, otherwise there will be something that Fa Ge made a mess in Hollywood more than ten years later because of English issues.

"I have never touched a foreign language in my whole life, and I still have to learn it now. It's really..." Fa Ge was very depressed. Xiao Ran was just a rush to put it on the shelves. It's okay, and it's okay if it doesn't work.

Xiao Ran rubbed his nose and thought that Brother Fa was really not very cold in English. Thinking of this, he thought it was necessary to enlighten him: "Brother Fa, now the company has mastered the mainstream theaters in France, but French is not

I force you to learn, but English is to help you become famous internationally."

"Okay, I understand!" No matter how much I complained, how could Brother Fa not know that Xiao Ran was for his own good?

"Besides..." Xiao Ran smiled, showing his cunning meaning: "From the end, the company's artists must go through the test of mastering Mandarin and a foreign language before they can graduate. If you don't want to be dragged down by the times, the best

The way is to walk in front of it!”

"However, I really don't understand why you want to acquire that company!" Fa Ge took the red wine handed over by Lin Qingxia, took a sip, and walked to Xiao Ran and looked at the scenery outside the window: "Just develop Southeast Asia

Isn’t it great? If you interfere in Europe, you will definitely not be able to fight Hollywood!”

Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment. Brother Fa didn't know his general development direction, and even didn't know how great his ambition was, so it was naturally difficult to understand. At this time, Lin Qingxia handed a cup of clear water to Xiao Ran, and was surprised: "Fazi still

Don’t know your ideals and ambitions?”

When Fa Ge was stunned and thinking about what Xiao Ran's ambition meant, Xiao Ran shook his head slightly. He had always thought that there was no need to mention these things to Fa Ge, and even Lin Qingxia was not very clear. Perhaps, the only way to truly understand

The only one who knows about Wei Dongling.

Maybe tell them to know! What Xiao Ran wants to say at this time actually needs only one sentence to cover everything. He stared at Brother Fa, and told him in a faint tone but affirmative manner: "Brother Fa, I want to speak Chinese

Movies are brought to the world and replaced Hollywood movies or English movies.”

Is Brother Fa a careful person? He was shocked by Xiao Ran's ambition or ambition and couldn't help but confirm: "Are you referring to Chinese movies instead of Hong Kong movies?"

Xiao Ran glanced at the two of them and sighed slightly, thinking that they finally had some doubts about the mainland newspaper, otherwise why bother with this word? Hesitated for a moment, Xiao Ran did not fully express his position, but said lightly: "Chinese language."

Isn’t movies equal to Hong Kong films now?”

The next day, in a commercial building in Paris, France, Wei Dongling smiled and asked a question to reporters. Among them, there were also Hong Kong reporters with a keen sense of smell and stopped hearing the news, such as Liang Jiabao, who is one of them.

"Mr. Wei Dongling, I think Phantom Company may be the first company to acquire an issuing company in Europe. Can you tell us why we did this!" A French reporter asked Wei Dongling in French.

After understanding this question through translation, Wei Dongling calmly replied: "I haven't investigated it or not, but I think it's true. We need a distribution company that faces European audiences, so,

We acquired the company with great potential!”

"What will you bring to Leo, which is facing a crisis? What can it bring to France?" Another French reporter asked in English. They were all very impressed by the Phantom Company, which suddenly acquired Leo Company.

Interest: "And now is the time when the Cannes Film Festival is underway. Are you trying to choose this time to acquire it?"

"Of course not, it's just a coincidence!" I have to admit that Wei Dongling is becoming more and more handsome now, but these are all skills that have been slowly developed. He smiled slightly and continued: "It was produced in France.

The video is one of the best in the world. While the Phantom Company delivers excellent Chinese-language videos to French audiences, it will also bring excellent French videos to the East."

The reporter from Oriental Daily couldn't help but asked anxiously: "Mr. Wei, why didn't Mr. Xiao come here this time?"

"He? He is enjoying the sunshine in Cannes now. If it were you, you might not want to come here!" Wei Dongling laughed. At this time, Hong Kong reporters always seemed particularly friendly. He was not very careful when answering questions.

.

When a French reporter learned that the owner of the Phantom Company was the director of this Cannes official competition film, he was even more surprised. The boss of a large company was able to direct the film himself and was able to participate in the Cannes Competition, which is definitely very interesting news.

Of course, Wei Dongling completely didn't realize how many reporters he had brought to Xiao Ran that he had a headache. Even if he knew, it might not be possible that Wei Dongling would do more vigorously. In short, Xiao Ran is definitely rare now.

It's relaxed.
