Chapter 561 A bad news and a good news
“It’s the chairman of the film festival!”
“Mark Mueller.”
Recognize walking in with a smile Wu Baige and Xu Ke looked at each other.
In the film industry, Mark Muller is very famous.
Not only has he served as the chairman of many famous European film festivals, but in the Chinese film circle, it is almost impossible to say that a famous director has not dealt with him.
Even though, he has a closer relationship with filmmakers from the mainland.
It must have special meaning for such an important and sensitive person to visit the hotel before the film festival.
The other foreigner standing next to them, in a suit and leather shoes, seemed to be the protagonist.
We just met in the morning to have lunch and go through the process. Mark Muller, who had a dinner to attend, had no choice.
Red Bigland, the CEO of the main sponsor, personally called him again to invite him over, still to prepare for the meeting with Hermès.
No matter how important it was to meet all the members of the jury, he had to come back again.
"Let's go say hello?" Wu Baige stood up and tidied his clothes, believing he was a bit thin-faced.
While inviting director Xu Ke, he looked at the actors present.
It is important to decide who to take and who not to take.
Needless to say, Liang Jiahui and Liu Dehua, but the others are really worth thinking about.
First, not too many people go.
Second, this can be regarded as affirming their status in their own minds.
Third
All the actors also stopped their exchanges and focused their attention on Wu Baige who stood up.
This is a rare opportunity.
Mark Muller walked in while communicating with Red Bigland, looking past the reporters in front of him, he also noticed the group of people on the sofa in the lobby bar.
No way, their combined number is more than the reporters in front of them.
They all have yellow skin.
It’s really strange that you can’t see it.
Seeing that they came over to say hello, Mark Muller whispered to the assistant next to him with a smile.
Everyone carried the sedan chair.
But this is not the time and occasion to enjoy the excitement.
The assistant nodded slightly and turned his gaze over. He planned to walk over quickly to explain the situation, but he saw Li Bingbing's figure.
“Mr. Chairman, that lady is one of the cast members of The Social Network.”
"Who?" Mark Muller frowned.
"That's the one sitting next to you." The assistant reminded in a low voice, "I've seen her on the poster."
"Are you sure?"
" OK."
After receiving the assistant's affirmative reply, Mark Mueller thought for a while and said, "Then please come over."
After he finished speaking, he explained to Red Bigland with a smile: "There is a film actor here who participated in the production of Hermès Film Investment Company. She happens to be a Chinese. Think about her relationship with Mr. Xiang and Ms. Liu. It should be good, I know their preferences better.”
Red Bigland nodded.
As a host, of course, you must try your best to cater to the tastes of your guests when hosting dinners in person.
You can’t treat someone to spaghetti and pizza.
"Thank you, Mr. Mueller." He said with a smile and looked at the reporters in front of him.
Just smile and don't speak.
His assistant is telling these reporters who are holding cameras endlessly that they will not accept any form of interviews today.
He just came here to choose a restaurant that is more in line with Chinese tastes.
Moreover, after seeing Wu Baige and the others, he felt that Mark Muller had a good vision.
The two of them walked directly inside under the guidance of the hotel staff.
Seeing that they had no intention of staying, Wu Baige, who was about to leave, had already selected the actor representatives for his two movies.
Xu Ke has also chosen.
Before they could start together, the assistant who came quickly was already in front of them.
"Excuse me, Director Wu."
As he prepared to take Li Bingbing away directly, he was not unambiguous and said directly to Wu Baige, whom he had recognized for a long time:
"The chairman is accompanying important sponsor representatives, so he can't take time to come over and say hello to a few of them."
Wu Baige was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
He said with a pity: "So that's it, then we can't bother you."
"Are you BingbingLi from the crew of "The Social Network"?" The assistant nodded. , and looked at Li Bingbing for confirmation.
He was not sure whether he pronounced his name correctly.
"Well, I am."
Li Bingbing, who was a little confused, nodded in confusion.
His sister Li He quickly came to her side and said to Mark Muller's assistant in English:
"Hello sir, I am her agent."
"Can you spare the time? The chairman would like to consult with you on something."
Amid the exclamations of everyone who could understand English, Li Bingbing said with confusion and surprise:
"Can you ask me something?"
"We need to receive two important guests"< br>
Seeing Li Bingbing being taken away accompanied by Li He, almost everyone present did not react.
My mind is constantly trying to guess who the important guest mentioned by others is.
It’s not like I’ve never seen a big scene before.
The film festival is a celebration dedicated to people in the film industry. It is common to attend some important banquets and exchange a few words with international superstars.
But the chairman and sponsors of the film festival must treat VIPs with caution.
That really has a lot of background.
But no matter what, Li Bingbing is lucky!
This is what surprised them even more.
What kind of distinguished guest actually wants to consult her.
Looking at Li Bingbing’s disappearing back, before others could react, Deng Chao suddenly patted his thigh and said to Huang Bo beside him:
“Brother Bo, I know Who is it?"
He is not good at English, but he is not stupid, especially the name of the movie "The Social Network", which he remembers very well.
Because during the filming of "Detective Dee: The Great Empire", he often saw Li Bingbing holding the English script of the film. Because of my strong curiosity, I wanted to see the difference between Hollywood scripts and Chinese scripts, so I borrowed them many times.
《TheSocialNetwork》
He didn’t remember anything else, but he was very impressed with the pronunciation of Net and Work.
“Who is it?” Huang Bo put away his surprised lips and looked at Deng Chao.
"I guess it's Liu Qianqian and Xiang Yang."
Maybe it was because of excitement that the voice was a little loud.
After he finished speaking, several actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan surrounding Wu Baige and Xu Ke heard it clearly.
"Blow water without wiping your mouth." Huang Qiusheng said sarcastically: "E know and Qin Gang."
Watching him want to say more, Wu Baige glared at him.
Liu Jialing, who was standing next to him, also touched him gently and reminded him not to say too much.
"Be great." The unwilling Huang Qiusheng had to stop talking, but he still muttered mercilessly.
Deng Chao might not understand his first sentence.
But in the last two sentences, he still roughly knew what Huang Qiusheng was talking about.
It’s just that he’s bragging.
Bragging for whom?
Firstly, he did not know Xiangyang and Liu Qianqian, secondly, his analysis was reasonable and well-founded, and thirdly, he also felt that this matter was of honor.
Why do you Huang Qiusheng call me bragging?
Deng Chao was about to explain, but Huang Bo, who had quick eyes and quick hands, also pulled his arm.
“Brother Bo, me.”
Huang Bo, who usually greeted people with a smile, frowned and shook his head, then signaled Deng Chao to stop talking with his eyes.
Following his gaze and taking a peek at Wu Baige, whose face darkened, Deng Chaocai reacted
He actually forgot that the design director named Xiang Yang was at odds with people in the Hong Kong circle. .
The posters at this Venice Film Festival, as long as they are films from China, all have a unified format.
For people like Wu Baige, there is no chance of using his commonly used English name John.
Without standard annotation, posters cannot be posted.
This made him feel a little regretful for what he had just said.
Directors who offend Hong Kong circles will have a hard time in today's environment where directors from Hong Kong Island move north.
"Okay, who is it? Let's just wait for Bingbing to come back."
Liang Jiahui saw that the situation was a bit embarrassing. As an actor with higher qualifications than Andy Lau, He said something to lighten the atmosphere.
Liu Dehua also laughed out loud.
When the two of them spoke, Xu Ke also smiled to signal Wu Baige not to be frozen in this matter.
He is not as worried about phonetic notation as Wu Baige.
In fact, he was still hoping that it would really be Xiang Yang and Liu Qianqian.
“I am a new wave director.”
He had always paid attention to the inclusion of CC standards. When he saw that Wu Baige was not moving, he came to sit next to Deng Chao and pulled him to chat.
Deng Chao is an actor in my crew, but he can’t say a word?
With his leadership, the group of actors sitting in circles soon changed.
The CEOs of Maserati and Alfa Romeo wanted to receive them personally.
This news also gave Xiangyang some relief for several seconds.
Yes, in just a few seconds, this happened to him.
Occasionally, I even let ‘Dai Malong’ pick up balls, pass water, and open bottles of beer for me. I’m used to it. For a small CEO, I only have so many feelings.
But when it comes to feelings, Xiangyang also has them.
"It would be great if Little John was here, just let him go to socialize."
The smile on Bea Shaffer's face froze, and she looked a little dissatisfied.
Can't I go out to socialize on your behalf?
"Stop showing such a face to me." Xiangyang warned: "I'll leave the rest to you. I'm leaving first."
"I got it. "Bea Shaffer nodded sadly and muttered: "That's what you said."
"What did you say?"
"I said you were late and left early." br>
"Then you are wrong." Xiangyang stretched out his wrist, tapped the Hermès watch he was carrying with his fingertips, and said with a smile:
"I arrived at the company after 7 o'clock today. ”
After that, he walked out of the office with his neck held high.
But after taking two steps, Xiangyang hurriedly walked back. After a busy day, he finally remembered that he hadn't had time to look at the stocks yet.
As expected, Huayi issued an announcement.
After the stock price fell today, it turned red by less than 1 point.
But this announcement is really interesting. It turns out to be the confirmation announcement that "Detective Dee: Empire of Heaven" will premiere at the Venice Film Festival and the domestic release date.
“It seems that I don’t have much time left.”
Looking at the content on the announcement, Xiang Yang clicked his tongue.
A cast such as Liu Dehua, Liang Jiahui, Li Bingbing, and Deng Chao, plus the blessings of Xu Ke and Hong Jinbao.
There's definitely nothing to say about the box office.
Otherwise, the market will not change.
Xiang Yang, who had no intention of messing with the movie, took out his cell phone and dialed Little John's number.
"Xiang, what do you want from me?"
"There is good news and there is bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Let's talk about the bad news first."
"The bad news is that if you don't hurry up, half of your life savings will be gone."
"What about the good news?"
< br>“The good news is that the CEO of Maserati came to the airport to greet me personally.”
“Xiang! You damn guy!”
"Dududu"
