"Whoosh!"
Shi Nansheng took a bath and came out of the bathroom to see that Tsui Hark had not caught up on his sleep, but was sitting on the sofa drinking wine in a daze.
She came over and poured a little. The ice cubes and lemon juice softened the pungent taste of the whiskey and made her mind clearer. She said, "Actually, we don't have to go to Cannes. We can wait for the news in Hong Kong."
If the response is good, we will join, if not, then we will see you again."
"I have made several films, and this is the first time I have been shortlisted for a European film festival. As a director, how can I be willing to not go to the scene? I can't see the reactions of those foreigners with my own eyes, and I am even more unwilling."
"You are the Best Director at the Golden Horse Awards. Once you are photographed in Cannes, there is basically no room for relaxation."
Tsui Hark's "The Stranger" won the Best Director Award at the 1981 Golden Horse Awards.
"I know, that's why I went secretly, not with them."
Tsui Hark looked very confident. Shi Nansheng sighed, getting used to the other person's temper like a child sometimes, and said: "Okay then, I will stay in Hong Kong to cover you. You must be careful not to be photographed.
It will be a big problem if it is sent back to Hong Kong.
If the response to "Orphan" is not good, then we will lose more than we gain, and we are not human beings."
"I understand!"
Tsui Hark nodded repeatedly.
Shi Nansheng was very worried about him, but he had no choice but to marry a chicken, follow a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog.
On the second day, the discussion in the struggle room continued.
On the third day, it was still the same.
On the fourth day, the five people discovered that Shi Nansheng had arrived, and asked curiously: "Butler, why are you the only one here?"
"He was filming two movies in a row. He was a little tired and felt uncomfortable."
"Oh, let him have a good rest!"
"If you can't find a doctor, please recover quickly. We will also start a business together!"
After a passionate night, during the day, Mai Jia suddenly remembered this incident and wanted to call Tsui Hark to express condolences, but no one answered the call for a long time.
"Did you really go to the hospital? You are younger than me and your health is very poor."
Mai Jia shrugged and didn't care.
Another day passed, and the script for "The Best Partner 2" was finalized and handed over to director Eric Tsang.
Mai Jiaben wanted to talk to Tsui Hark to see what new movies he could film for the company, but he couldn't find anyone. He asked Shi Nansheng, but Shi Nansheng only said he was going on vacation to relax, which made him a little suspicious.
Just in time, "Wen Wei Po" reported the news that "Orphan" will go to Cannes.
Accompanied by a large picture: Chen Qi, led by Fu Qi, with Qiu Shuzhen and Liu Xuehua... Although Tsui Hark was not mentioned, Mai Jia had a very bad premonition, put down the newspaper, and murmured uneasily:
"No - it will -!"
…………
Charles de Gaulle, the last tough guy in France, passed away in 1970.
France performed so well during World War II that it was even able to join the five permanent members, and de Gaulle was indispensable. The man who created the Fifth Republic has spent his life doing two things: getting rid of American control and making France the leader of Europe.
After he died, well, everyone understood it, and then it gradually became the Shang San Chang and the Xia Li Chang...
From the late 1970s to the early 1980s, the entire capitalist world fell into economic stagnation. However, Nice was a prime tourist area with beautiful Mediterranean scenery, and the food, drink, and entertainment never went down.
Chen Qi and his party first flew from Hong Kong to Nice, France, which is more than 20 kilometers away from Cannes, and then took a bus there.
What you see along the way are all luxury yachts, villas, prosperous shopping malls and hotels, as well as sexy bikini girls sunbathing. Compared with Hong Kong, it is a different story.
Chen Qi has a very good impression of France. There are Adjani, Sophie Marceau, Eva Green, and Woodpecker. French women are very beautiful.
When we arrived at the hotel arranged by the organizer, the room was very small, only two people per room.
Qiu Shuzhen naturally lives in the same room as Liu Xuehua.
After tidying up, Qiu Shuzhen suddenly took out a small wallet with 200 Hong Kong dollars in it. She gave 100 Hong Kong dollars for her guest appearance in "Tai Chi 2" and another 100 Hong Kong dollars for her role as an evil ghost in "The Last Love".
The remuneration was paid directly to her mother's account.
"Sister Xuehua, where can I exchange francs?"
"what are you up to?"
"I want to buy some small gifts to go back to, look, I have 200 yuan!"
Seeing her showing off the Hong Kong dollar banknotes, Liu Xuehua said with a smile: "I don't know how to change them. The francs should be quite valuable, but you can't exchange them for much. There are souvenirs for participating in the film festival, so you bring souvenirs."
Just go back."
"But I finally went abroad, and I want to buy some souvenirs myself."
"Just keep the money. When you grow up and look back, these 200 yuan will be a souvenir."
"That's true, then I'll keep it!"
Qiu Shuzhen listened to the advice and went out to find Chen Qi again.
Chen Qi was reading the brochure issued by the organizer, which contained detailed itinerary and screening times for many movies. "Orphan" was scheduled for the 18th, "The True Story of Ah Q" was scheduled for the 17th, and ended on the 26th.
He glanced at the film list, 90% of which were art films, and the remaining 10% were not purely commercial films, at most they had commercial elements.
In the 1980s, the European film industry was not afraid of the United States at all, unlike in the 1990s when they all rushed to Hollywood.
The characteristic of European movies is the pursuit of artistry, especially the preference for female nudity. If the heroine does not reveal anything, she is not qualified to talk about art at all, and I don’t know where it started.
"Master!"
Qiu Shuzhen ran in and said, "Can you take me shopping when you have time?"
"I'll be very busy, so I probably won't have time. Just stay in the hotel and practice your manners more."
"Well, I'll stay then!"
Qiu Shuzhen ran away again.
Fu Qi was amused and said: "You take this apprentice like a daughter."
"I can't help it, I'm handsome and talented, and I'm naturally popular with children."
"The main thing is that you can play with them and understand what they are thinking. Zhizhi is very clinging to you. As a father, I am worse. Sometimes I really can't communicate."
Fu Qi shook his head and said, "Shall we visit our colleagues?"
"Um!"
As they talked, they went out and found the crew of "The True Story of Ah Q." Compared with the scale of Hong Kong, the mainland was much shabbier. There were only three people: director Cen Fan, lead actor Yan Shunkai, and an accompanying person from China Film Group who also served as translator.
Because one more person means more funds, and the funds are all provided by the government.
In Hong Kong, it is at one's own expense.
Yan Shunkai was very happy to see Chen Qi and chatted a lot, saying: "I am now fully focused on preparing for "Beautiful Life". I hope the filming of this drama can start soon!"
"I'm sure, I'm trying my best to make arrangements."
Chen Qi turned his head and stared at the guy from China Film.
The other party was very vigilant. The grievances between the two parties were well known throughout the country. Just when he was debating whether to speak or not, Chen Qi took the initiative to come over, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, comrade, it's really cordial to see you in a foreign country!"
Dear daddy!
The China Film Group representative secretly scolded his mother for selling the film, but smiled on the outside and shook hands.
"I heard that your person in charge has changed. It seems to be a general manager named Sun Jianmin?"
"right!"
"Oh, I will definitely visit you when I have the opportunity. Both of our families are fighting for the cause of Chinese literature and art. Don't act like enemies, but be closer to each other."
Chen Qi laughed, and the other party was worried, who is the one who wants to get close to you? We don’t want to get close to you!!
Chapter completed!
