This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 290 My Big Brother Liu Furong (asking for monthly ticket)

Although Hao Yun, Luo Jingmin, and even Zhou Yun are all newcomers to the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival, Jiang Wen is a great director loved by Europeans and enjoys the same international status as Zhang Yimou and Wang Jiawei.

What's more, he had been married to a French woman before.

Divorce doesn’t mean anything. Zhang Manyu married a French man and then divorced him, but the French still loved her.

So, after they stepped onto the Avenue of Stars in Cannes, there were a lot of cheers from the crowds on both sides, and the enthusiasm was even higher than when Jiang Wen and his friends went to the Hong Kong Film Awards.

In comparison, the three major European film festivals are far more open than the Hong Kong Film Awards.

The Hong Kong Film Awards is like a private party held in a corner.

Well, the same goes for the Academy Awards.

You can't write two "Academy Awards" with one stroke, the style remains perfectly consistent.

Jiang Wen took Hao Yun and others to stop and take pictures.

There are media from all over the world here, including a lot from China. When they see Chinese stars appear, they will not hesitate to press the shutter button.

After filming for a while, Hao Yun took Luo Jingmin away first.

Give Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang a chance to appear on screen independently.

After all, Zhou Yun was dressed more beautifully than flowers today, making Jiang Wen look like a pile of cow dung.

Young handsome guys like Hao Yun have also attracted a lot of attention.

Most people thought he was an actor in Jiang Wen’s new movie.

After all, Jiang Wen likes to use this kind of new actors and can also promote new actors.

In 1994, at the Venice Film Festival, Jiang Wen won the title of International Film Actor for the 18-year-old Xia Yu with "Sunny Days".

This set a new record for the youngest actor to win the Venice Film Festival Best Actor Award, and no one has broken it to this day.

However, real film media people know that Jiang Wen did not bring any movies to the exhibition this time - he was still banned.

Instead, he participated in a movie called "The Heart Labyrinth" as a producer.

The young man in front of me is the nominal director and screenwriter of "The Heart Labyrinth".

You may suspect that this movie was written by Jiang Wen - it would be strange not to doubt it, especially since domestic media have been talking about it.

With Lu Yan in front and Chen Yifei in the back, it’s not surprising to have Hao Yun now.

However, you can say that the director was Jiang Wen, and Hao Yun was his shield and puppet to circumvent the five-year ban.

But what about the screenwriter?

Jiang Wen was banned only for not being able to be a director, but he has no problem doing jobs like acting, screenwriter, etc.

In other words, at least Hao Yun’s title of “screenwriter” is genuine.

For a competition film, to be able to participate in it as a screenwriter is considered to be very talented, not to mention that he is so young.

Probably the only person younger than him at the scene was the 14-year-old Japanese actor Yuya Yagira.

Seeing Jiang Wen and Zhou Yun coming over after taking photos, Hao Yun followed them into the main venue.

It was noisy inside, with people everywhere, and all kinds of languages ​​​​coming to the surface, mixed with the smell of sweat and perfume. It was really hard to describe.

Chinese people take a bath. Some take a bath every day, some take a bath two or three times a week, and at least once a week.

Especially those who are engaged in the profession of celebrity.

However, many European and American celebrities, both goddesses and gods, have the problem of not taking a bath.

They believe that this is in accordance with nature and will not disrupt the microbiome on the skin, which is important for maintaining health.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Jack Gyllenhaal, the actor who starred in Brokeback Mountain and Prisoners, said that he thought taking a bath was unnecessary - "Not taking a bath helps maintain the skin, and our body can automatically clean itself."

I don’t know whether their views are right or wrong.

But in this kind of enclosed space, you can only selectively ignore the stimulation brought by your sense of smell.

Fortunately, Cannes is a seaside town with many beautiful beaches. Going into the sea is like taking a bath.

Hao Yun followed Jiang Wen like a well-behaved quail.

He only started talking to others when Jiang Wen introduced him. Most of the time he stood beside Jiang Wen and listened quietly.

Well, let me pick up some attributes by the way.

There are countless great directors of art films here, and many of their attributes have been revealed.

Sometimes there is no way to deny it. Whether it is due to talent or the result of the creative environment, foreign directors are indeed better than domestic ones.

Jiang Wen took Hao Yun and his wife with him and made friends with people everywhere.

Hao Yun was quietly introduced to all the judges of this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Hao Yun is often able to make others ignore his handsome face and recognize his talent by pulling out his attributes.

This talent is extremely exaggerated, the kind that will burst with just a single poke.

But on an occasion like today, no one had the time to poke him.

Hao Yun also met the Chinese actors who were present.

"I didn't expect to meet you here. It's been a long time since we last met." Liang Chaowei smiled warmly, with a hint of sadness in his temperament.

I don’t know whether I’m sad about marrying the wrong wife or sad about the passing of time.

It seemed like in the blink of an eye, he was Canjian (Hero) one second and Zhou Muyun (2046) the next. The proof of all this is the guy in front of him, who was an extra before and has now become a distinguished guest on the Cannes red carpet.

Some people have said that he is a "little Liang Chaowei" before, and it seems that in a few years, he will become a "little Hao Yun". "I have seen it at the Academy Awards, but I was really crazy at that time." Hao Yun was talking about the small cards.

He didn't feel comfortable disturbing too many people at the party, so he just left Liang Jiahui alone. Anyway, at Liang Jiahui's level, he didn't have much need to socialize.

At worst, I can get a suitable script in the future and ask Liang Jiahui to play the role.

But Liang Chaowei is different. If Hao Yun had caught Liang Chaowei at that time, Liang Chaowei might not have given him face.

This is a selfish and heartless person.

After chatting for a few minutes, he went to socialize with other people.

Social phobia is bullshit.

Hao Yun met Zhang Manyu and Chen Huilin again, and only briefly greeted them.

There is another type of people who are very popular in today's occasion, that is, senior executives of various luxury brands. They are an important link in the world of fame and fortune, and female celebrities prefer to know these noble people.

That is Liu Furong, who is also a newcomer in Cannes. He chatted with Hao Yun for a longer time.

"Are you crazy to give that kind of gift?" Liu Furong pulled Hao Yun, and felt a little amused when he thought about the gift Hao Yun brought when he went to his house for dinner.

There shouldn't be such a custom in the mainland.

At most you can bring some fruit or red wine when you eat. Who the hell would give you a kilogram of gold?

Liu Furong almost suspected that Hao Yun had robbed the gold shop and grabbed a handful of gold from the robbery.
"It's a rare promotional price in a decade, so I couldn't resist buying it."

The current price of gold is less than HK$80 per gram. After the discount, the labor costs are almost completely eliminated. Hao Yun simply bought one kilogram of gold.

Although it cannot be eaten, it can be used.

And there is hope for appreciation.

"You really are..." Liu Furong resisted the urge to say something like "mental illness" or "brain problems". He thought for a moment and asked, "Next time you make a movie, if no one invests, you can come to me. I have set up a film company called Yingyi Entertainment, which has this kind of business."

He didn't know that Hao Yun was using Jiang Wen as a signboard to attract investment.

In his opinion, the biggest challenge for new directors is investment. Although Hao Yun has attracted the first investment, if he cannot help the investors make money, the next time will be more difficult than the first time.

Because of their friendship, he was willing to lend a helping hand.

He even plans to launch an "Asian Rising Star Director Program" to select six young directors across Asia and fund them to make films.

Give new directors the greatest room to perform, and investors will not interfere with the film's selection of materials, actors, etc.

It will only give the director certain cost guidelines and measure the feasibility of the script and study whether the shooting exceeds the budget.

It doesn't matter whether you make a profit or a loss, all risks are borne by the investor.

As long as you have ideas and potential, you can invest in future development.

"I don't lack investment..." Hao Yunting thanked Liu Furong for his kindness. This promise was more valuable than 80,000 yuan of gold.

He did not hide anything and told him how Dong Ping helped him operate "Heart Labyrinth".

Liu Furong was very surprised when he heard this. It turned out that Hao Yuncai had already figured out how to operate an art film with his first movie.

And the way she handled it with such ease, she is simply the second Wang Jiawei.

"We can cooperate if there is a chance. For example, you can invest in my movie. I have funds to invest in your project. If you produce a movie that is suitable for operation, I will introduce someone to help you operate it..."

Liu Furong's films are very competitive in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and he has very good relations with capital in both places.

He starred in as many as 80 movies in the 35s, 1000 of which had box office revenues exceeding 19 million. His box office appeal was second only to four big names: Xu Guanjie, Zhou Ruifa, Hong Jingbao and Fang Long.

In the 90s, among the top 13 best-selling movies, 14 films by Fang Long were selected, 13 by Li Lianjie, 4 by Zhou Xingxing, 3 by Liu Furong, 3 by Zhou Ruifa, and by Zhang Guorong.

Liu Furong still maintains a good momentum.

By the way, the actress with the greatest box office appeal is Lin Qingxia.

The most popular market for Liu Furong's movies is not Hong Kong, but Taiwan. His performance in the Taiwanese film market fully demonstrates the glory of Hong Kong films and his personal appeal.

The most crazy year was 90, with the annual cumulative box office exceeding 3 million, accounting for more than 20% of the total annual box office of Chinese-language films in Taipei and nearly % of the total annual box office in Taipei.

In Taiwan, there is no Chow Yun-fat, Stephen Chow and Yi Cheng, but instead, it is Fang Long who dominates the market, followed by Stephen Chow and Liu Furong.

Liu Furong’s problem is that most of the movies he invested in were not good. His previous Tianmu Film Company was ruined and he even lost a lawsuit.

If Hao Yun has a good project and finds a good operator, it will definitely be beneficial for both parties if they work together.

The so-called network of relationships does not only refer to people, but ultimately depends on resources and capital.

One kilogram of gold is not given for free.

There wasn't much going on on the first day of the film festival. Basically, there was just walking the red carpet, and various social events and interviews.

Hao Yun also received many interview invitations.

Coming to a place like this, it's impossible not to be interviewed.

After all, what Hao Yun wants is to sell movies and gain fame, not to admire himself.

For domestic entertainment media, Hao Yun chose "Entertainment Live"; for foreign media, he chose the Cannes Film Festival's program "Screen" and confirmed the time for the interview.

The interview with "Screen" will be held later, after the Cannes premiere of Hao Yun's "Labyrinth of the Heart".

"Entertainment Live" is waiting for Hao Yun to come back from the promotion of "New Police Story". He will go back to China tomorrow morning and then fly back.

There was no way. He had missed too many promotional activities and he had to give face to Brother Fang Long.
