Chapter 572 Cannes, Goddess
There was no rehearsal the next morning, so Xin Zhilei rarely slept in 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?”
I called several times, but there was no response. I picked up my phone and found that Reba had sent me a message.
“Why are you working so hard when you get up so early to exercise?”
After washing up, Xin Zhilei rubbed her sleepy eyes and met Reba in the hotel gym.
"It's getting late. Exercise more. It will help maintain the condition of your skin."
"Is it true?"
"It's scientifically based."
Reba Jogging on the treadmill, the ponytail on the back of her head swayed.
Wearing a sports short T-shirt on top and slightly tight sports pants on the bottom, it perfectly outlines her slim and long legs.
The most offensive thing is the curve of the hips, it's so murderous.
Even Xin Zhilei, a woman, looked straight at her and felt even more ashamed.
Compared to Sister Reba who works so hard, I am nothing more than a salted fish.
The movie market was slightly deserted in April.
After the release of three literary and artistic films with good reputations, the short and tight "My Deskmate" held its premiere simultaneously with "Rebirth: The Frozen Door" and "The Master of Hypnotism", and then in It will be released together 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 12.2 million, which was shocking.
Universe Dan is also an old unlucky guy. After the big-budget "Rebirth: The Frozen Gate" was released, its first-day box office was only 19.5 million, which was obviously not as good as expected.
On the contrary, Bald Xu's "The Master of Hypnosis" took in 22 million yuan at the box office on its first day of release.
“This year’s May 1st stall is too hip.”
During a break in filming, Zhou Yutang glanced at the box office data compiled by Ni Ni and threw it aside.
That is, taking advantage of the May Day holiday to hit the box office, there will be several imported blockbusters immediately, and there is a high probability that it will not be a match.
The time has entered May.
Qiong Yao wrote an open letter to Mr. Guang, accusing Yu Zheng of plagiarism, which shocked the entire entertainment industry.
This matter has nothing to do with Zhou Yutang. Should I eat more or not, should I film or film?
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 met, Loki agreed to star in the film's villain Angsa.
After signing the contract and finalizing the main cast, Guo Fan is gearing up to coordinate the schedules of all parties and only waits for filming to start in July or August.
Jiang Xuezhen arranged the crew in an orderly manner. 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, making people feel in a trance.
Ni Ni did her homework and even brought an umbrella. But the strange thing is that when Zhou Yutang came to Cannes this year, the weather was surprisingly good.
It was sunny all the time, and it rarely rained.
“Good sign!”
Li Shuang's eyebrows were beaming: "Yu Tang, before I came here, I consulted a very spiritual master, and he said that this time is a sign of good luck."
"Sister Shuang, when did you become so superstitious? "Zhou Yutang laughed dumbly.
“It’s better to believe that it exists than to believe that it doesn’t exist.”
Li Shuang smiled and said, “I think what he said is quite reasonable.”
Sister Shuang’s Very capable of doing 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 wall of the Carlton Hotel.
Wai Guoren’s understanding of China probably includes pandas and opera except kung fu.
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.
Now most of the filmmakers and production companies who buy and sell copyrights have come here.
I saw the poster of "Chi Ling", exchanged a few words with the people around me, and couldn't help but stop and watch.
They are all professionals in this circle. 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 Award for Best Director the year before last. He is also a top-tier commercial film director in Asia and enjoys a high reputation internationally.
“Everyone is thinking about missing some.”
Li Shuang was a little depressed: “The prices are not high.”
“No rush.”
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.
Excluding filmmakers and professional journalists from all over the world.
At least a thousand film companies gathered together. Last year, despite the impact of the European debt crisis, they still achieved a transaction volume of over US$1 billion in 11 days.
There are quite a few big fish this year and the number will only be higher.
Those guys are all old foxes who have become sophisticated. They deliberately lower the price and want to bet in advance.
La Peikang called. He still has several important meetings to hold, and he will not arrive until two days later.
I met many 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 are in a foreign land, they can't help but feel a little warm when they hear a familiar language, and they exchange a few pleasantries when they meet.
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 getting married.
It is 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 did not forget to say hello to Huang Xiaoming: "Hello, Xiaoming."
"Hello, Ms. Deng."
"What a coincidence."
Zhou Yutang looked calm.
The only person who can reach this position from poverty and poverty, and live up to the heroine template in female pornographic novels, is probably the only 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 it, If you need help, please contact me."
Deng Wendi's tone was so sincere that even Zhou Yutang couldn't help but feel warm, and chuckled: "Thank you, Ms. Deng, for your kindness."
This woman. His emotional intelligence was very high, so he did not continue to disturb the conversation between the two of them, and 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 what happened to 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 seeing the "Vanity Fair" magazine just exposed the overly explicit diary written by Wendi Deng to Blair, Zhou Yutang mourned for Murdoch in his heart. for three seconds.
No wonder Lao Deng announced the divorce without warning. He probably broke his defense and had to spend gold coins.
We have been fighting over the divorce property issue, and it was not settled until last month.
Deng Wendi acquired 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, so we have to wait and see.”
“Then you really have to be cautious.”
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 don’t recognize me?
Bring your own photographer and take whatever photos you want. When the time comes, the photos will be sent back to China and cooperate with the team’s press releases to create 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.
Jiangdong’s first sister 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 finishing filming Renyi.
I didn’t have all the fun, so I flew back and joined 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 is the day after tomorrow, and there is nothing to do here. Zhou Yutang simply gave Ni Ni a day off and asked her to accompany Zeng Li around.
How do you say something?
Not stealing is not Italy, not robbing is not France.
The people in France are simple and simple. As a precaution, Zhou Yutang assigned security personnel to them.
He himself is very busy.
There is a time difference between the two parties, 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 the 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 starring role in "The Taiping Wheel" and this time she came to Cannes with Wu Baige for promotion.
“Yami.”
“Hmm?”
“It feels like your skin is in great condition.”
Song Hye Kyo, who was in the same crew, saw Masami Nagasawa who came back looking particularly radiant after disappearing all afternoon, and said with envy: "How do you usually take care of yourself?"
"Thank you."
Nagazawa Yamei smoothed her hair and showed her signature smile:
"Actually, it's just an ordinary skin care routine. Maybe she's in a good mood, so she looks in good condition."
Speaking of skin care. topic, the relationship between the two quickly became closer, and Song Hye Kyo suddenly asked:
"Are you familiar with Director Zhou Yutang?"
"We are good friends."
Masami Nagasawa smiled and said, "We have worked together in "Now You See Me"."< br>
“Wow, this movie is taking Asia by storm, it’s very powerful.”
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 in the sequel will be larger than the first one, and Hollywood stars will be invited."
"The first part had a high box office in Asia and performed well at the North American box office. Maybe the sequel will require more Released worldwide.”
"Maybe."
Masami Nagasawa shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "With his ability, he can sell well even in North America."
"Masami."
“Huh?”
“That’s right.”
Song Hye Kyo said: "If possible, could you please introduce me to Director Zhou?"
"Eh?"
Masami Nagasawa was slightly stunned: "What are you doing? Do you suddenly want to get to know him? "
She asked instead without agreeing.
“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?"
After receiving the message from Masami Nagasawa, Ni Ni was a little curious.
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, no 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 only a few minutes of the scene and two lines were filmed, and I was filmed vomiting blood.
She probably also learned about the cooperation project between Zhou Yutang and SHOWBOX from some channels, and had the idea of taking advantage of it and taking a back door.
“That’s right.”
Zhou Yutang nodded: "This drama is a cake left for Zhien."
For this movie called "Broken Tomb", the flat floor of Jiangdong Creative Center led a screenwriting team according to Zhou Yutang's ideas The script has been written.
Different from the approach of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", this story follows the path of Feng Shui tombs, with elements of horror, thriller, and suspense.
The script is not outstanding, but it is also a qualified commercial film.
Last year, "The Secret of the Dragon" became a big hit in South Korea. Many stickmen 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 had sharp eyes, saw Zhou Yutang, and smiled at him.
Reporters frequently looked in the direction of Zhou Yutang.
Some people didn’t know why, but some 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.
This year Teacher Fan is still filming on the set, but unfortunately he is absent, and only Ji Ji Zhang and Gong Li are the only ones to support the scene.
“I’m here.”
Patted the back of Zeng Li’s hand, the two looked at each other, and Zeng Li suddenly felt inexplicably relieved.
After adjusting her posture, she held the arm of the man next to her. Zeng Li, dressed in an elegant black dress, looked beautiful with oriental charm.
Zhou Yutang held the beauty's waist as thin as a willow, and her aura was in full swing.
Many reporters on the scene looked straight.
