Lu Meili was dumbfounded by Yuan Qiaoqiao's revelations. She didn't think about it at all. She sighed subconsciously and sat there in a daze, seeming to be thinking about something, but also as if she was not thinking about anything.
Yuan Qiaoqiao ignored her and ate the meal she brought back. After eating, she cleaned up and sat there slowly drinking lemon soda.
After being stunned for a long time, Lu Meili finally came to her senses and said hurriedly: "Qiaoqiao, this circle is so chaotic, then you"
With her mouth full of words, she suddenly couldn't speak when she saw Yuan Qiaoqiao's eyes that understood everything. It wasn't that she couldn't speak, but that she didn't know how to say it.
"Okay, cousin, you don't need to say anything. I understand what you mean. In fact, what I'm talking to you about is the life of some people in the industry. In fact, it's not just the entertainment industry, but also the financial industry, the second and third generation circles, Many circles are very chaotic, but the entertainment industry is highly exposed and the public pays more attention to it, so it seems that this circle is chaotic.
In fact, this circle is the same as people in society. There are good people and bad people, but most of them are ordinary people. They just regard filming as the same job as ordinary people working from 9 to 5, with irregular working hours. The place of work is uncertain, the colleagues are uncertain, a job that can make money and support the family.
They all still want to live a good life down-to-earth, so they won¡¯t make so many troubles. Of course, what I told you is actually the same as there are always people who do bad things in society, but that¡¯s just one thing. A small group, but because of their special status and influence, they have the effect of "one mouse ruins the pot of porridge". However, we cannot think that public security is not good just because someone commits a crime. "
After a pause, she smiled again: "What's more, my mother was with me on the set, and she loved me so much. I might be a little aggrieved because of the lack of cast, but I definitely can't bear the loss. Besides, , as well as the two film and television companies Xinyu and Xinyuan, as well as the personal connections that originated from real estate and other industries, do you really think that they are tiger skins, just for good looks?"
After hearing what she said, Lu Meili lowered her head and thought about it, and felt it made sense. She breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "I feel relieved now.
" Otherwise, I would like to persuade you to leave the circle, but it's not like my uncle and the others have tried to persuade you, but you are still unmoved and will not leave. If this circle is really so chaotic, it will be really worrying. "
Yuan Qiaoqiao, who has lived in two lifetimes, has seen through a lot of things and is relatively open-minded, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. I know what I can and cannot do. I know what to do. I don't know how to do it." You are on the wrong track."
While talking, Gu Huxin came back from outside and saw the two of them in the house. She asked with a smile: "With such good weather and such beautiful scenery, what are you two doing in the house? Why don't you go out for a walk?
Qiaoqiao, there are so many movies at this film festival, why don¡¯t you go and watch them? "
¡°I¡¯ve watched a few movies, and except for some of the more famous ones, the others are of average quality. The quality of the movies at this film festival is not very high, so I don¡¯t want to watch them.¡±
"It doesn't matter if you don't watch other movies, but you have to go to "Lan Yu" which will be shown on the 18th. Also, the Taiwanese movie "The Name of the Rose" which will be shown on the 19th has also sent invitations to you and me. You Do you want to attend?"
After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Qiaoqiao sighed and said: "Although I don't really want to go, if I don't go, I will definitely be talked about by Sister Kuan later. No matter what, why my family is at odds with each other at home and how much trouble there is. If you have a good relationship, it will represent the family¡¯s face outside, so you¡¯d better go ahead.¡±
Lu Meili rolled her eyes and complained: "Looking at you, you look more helpless and uncomfortable than eating Coptis chinensis. Isn't it just a movie?"
"It's not like you don't know that I'm not good at socializing, so I don't have the patience for this either.
¡°You have also seen Shu Qi¡¯s attitude towards me, and although Director Hou is an internationally renowned director, he is a very narrow-minded Taiwanese director.
Except for the past few years, because the film market in Taiwan was too poor, he was unable to invest. Due to the attitude of investors, he reluctantly used three Hong Kong artists, Tony Leung, Carina Lau, and Li Jiaxin, all of his films used Taiwanese artist.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????It is useless to be friends with him, and I don't want to have much contact with people like him, so the pain of being forced to do business suddenly increased several times. "
Seeing that she was already feeling uncomfortable even before she left, Gu Huxin smiled and said, "That's not some kind of dragon's den or tiger's den. Why are you acting like this?"
"You don't want to deal with them anymore, and Sister Kuan is not here, and no one will force you, so just treat yourself as an ordinary movie-goer. After you go, just follow the crowd and say hello to the creators."yes. "
Although Xinyuan also invested in director Guan's film "Lanyu", it only invested a small part with the help of Xinyu, and Xinyu took the majority. Therefore, Gu Huxin did not do anything after coming to Cannes this time. Ask about his crew. But not caring doesn't mean that you don't know. On the contrary, because Xinyu and Xinyuan are actually the same family, they know a lot.
Because of the subject matter and the fact that the film also touches on the sensitive event of the August 9th riots, it was impossible for this film to get approval from the beginning and it was impossible to be released in the mainland. Moreover, it is a literary film. , therefore, producer Zhang Yongning read the original novel in early 1999 and decided to make it into a movie. It took nearly two years to raise funds, find a director, appoint actors, and gather a crew.
Even so, the budget is still not generous. According to the original history, it was Guan Jinpeng, the director, who subsidized part of it from his own pocket, and then reluctantly established the group.
But in this world, because of Yuan Qiaoqiao, Xinyu invested part of it, and pulled Xinyuan to invest part of it, but even though she knew that "Lanyu" had won many awards, she didn't know whether it made money. Therefore, the investment amount It is still relatively conservative, so the crew's budget is not very sufficient.
Therefore, when selecting actors, Director Guan could only choose cheap and high-quality actors, so he gave up his original idea of ??inviting Xiangjiang artists to star, went round and round, and still settled on the two mainland actors originally scheduled in history - Hu Jun. and Liu Ye.
I don¡¯t know if it was because the story resonated with Director Guan, or because his lover was a man and he was touched after reading the story, or for other reasons, in short, he was very interested in this movie.
During the filming, Liu Ye, who visited the crew, often complained to Yuan Qiaoqiao about the director's harshness and pursuit of perfection. After the filming was completed, this year's Berlin Film Festival invited Director Guan and his "Lan Yu", but was rejected. He refused on the excuse that the later stages of the film were not finished yet.
This sounds like a good excuse, but Yuan Qiaoqiao knows that when the Sunglasses King's movie "In the Mood for Love" was invited to participate in the Cannes Film Festival last year, the post-production was not finished at that time. He brought the movie with him At Cannes, it didn't even have a name. It wasn't until the last moment of the screening that the Sunglasses King gave it a name.
So after hearing what Peter Pan conveyed about similar operations between Director Guan and Sunglasses King, she couldn¡¯t help but sigh: These willful filmmakers!
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it¡¯s the day when the movie "Lan Yu" is screened in Cannes.
Between the Riviera, the Palais du Cinema, and Cannes, there are many screening halls for screenings. As a director with a certain degree of international fame, Guan Jinpeng generously rented one of the richest ones and invited many colleagues and Journalists come to a film screening. In addition, many movie fans came here.
The day had been cloudy since the morning, and in the evening it began to rain lightly. The rain is not heavy, but you will still get wet after walking in the rain for a few minutes, and the temperature has also dropped, with a slight chill.
Yuan Qiaoqiao, who originally planned to wear a skirt, changed into trousers, held an umbrella, and came to the screening hall with her aunt and cousin. Director Guan personally stood at the open door, shaking hands and thanking everyone who came to the screening.
Seeing this scene, Lu Meili couldn't help but sigh: "This director Guan is really amazing. He actually knows everyone who came to the screening. He has a wide range of contacts and has a good memory. He can remember so many things." name."
"How is it possible that he knows everyone?" Yuan Qiaoqiao smiled and said: "Except for the colleagues who came to the screening, even the reporters may not know them all, let alone the fans.
??????????????????????????????????????????????? No matter whether we know each other or not, it¡¯s not wrong to call a man ¡®Mr.¡¯ and a woman to call ¡®Ms.
"However, judging from the people walking in in twos and threes, in addition to colleagues and reporters, it seems that there are many movie fans who come. Director Guan still has a certain status in the world and is quite popular.
Of course, it is also related to the fact that the French prefer this type of subject matter. "
Arriving in front of them, Gu Huxin and Yuan Qiaoqiao greeted Director Guan respectively, exchanged a few words, and entered the theater without stopping. There were about 600 seats inside, and they were already seated. It was mostly full, dim lights were on the walls, and the audience was relatively quiet.
As a good friend of Director Guan, Chen Guo knew that Director Guan was busy greeting the guests and had little time to do, so she helped arrange seats for the important guests. When she saw Yuan Qiaoqiao, she was not polite and said very simply: "Third row or fourth row" Sit anywhere in the row.¡±
Because he didn¡¯t know the relationship between Gu Huxin and her, he thought they met by chance outside, so he welcomed Gu Huxin and Lu Meili, who was following her, into the first row.
When the staff sent by Xinyu saw this scene, they hurried over to help Yuan Qiaoqiao change her seat.
Yuan Qiaoqiao considered that the people sitting in the first row were not only film producers who were interested in buying films, but also bosses or executives of film and television companies. She didn't want to reveal her identity as a film and television boss yet, so she discussed it with her aunt. Compromise with each other and choose to sit in the middle of the second row.
