Support Chinese-language films, return ten times the losses

Chapter 107 A persistent ghost!

Gong Li expressed her gratitude to Tang Jinshan through action.

Regardless of whether he can make it in Hollywood in the future, at least he has this intention for me.

That's enough!

But when she thought of Hollywood, she thought of Tang Jinshan's 20 billion yuan investment in The Lord of the Rings!

That enormous sum of money is enough to make anyone's heart tremble.

I really can't help but worry.

She finally learned from Tang Jinshan why "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was able to secure two thousand theaters in North America!

So this was one of the conditions for investing in Lord of the Rings!

From this perspective, the new line is quite sincere.

She experienced the magic of money once again!

Even Hollywood, which is high and mighty, obediently kneels down in the face of money!

In truth, aren't I the same?

She never denied this.

If Tang Jinshan hadn't been so wealthy and invested so much in her, even with his superior circumstances, she wouldn't have achieved what he did for her.

On the contrary, Tang Jinshan was heartless and ignored the 20 billion yuan project.

Not content with just playing at the villa, he took her out to sea on a yacht.

I also bought her a bunch of swimsuits and bikinis —

You bastard! All you ever do is play around!

But then again, he's only 19, still a child.

Bah Bah!

It must be said that the Mediterranean scenery in May is captivating, and Gong Li was also enchanted by it.

Especially on a yacht, in this deserted world.

Do whatever you want, and cast aside all constraints.

She admitted that being with Tang Jinshan was the most relaxed and happiest time of her life.

Of course, it's also because he's very rich and has plenty of money.

Money can solve so many problems!

For example, the reason he's in Cannes now is because he invested in "Pretty Mom".

In fact, she has always had a connection with Cannes.

Winning the Best Actress award at Cannes has always been her dream.

She never hid this fact.

This is one of the reasons why Tang Jinshan helped her register for Cannes.

However, she didn't have high hopes for this trip to Cannes.

She really liked the character in "Pretty Mom," a film full of humanistic care.

She was also confident that she acted very well and was very engaged in the role.

However, its image is too positive, lacking the mainstream approach of film festivals that delve into the darker side.

Clearly, it will not be favored by the judging panel.

However, she didn't care anymore.

The fact that "Pretty Mom" ​​was shortlisted and seen by more people is already a success.

She wouldn't let Tang Jinshan down after spending so much money on her.

Now that we're in Cannes, let's enjoy the freedom here.

Once you return to China, there won't be as many opportunities.

By the way, I should give this guy a proper reward.

Tang Jinshan's eager gaze still pleased her.

I felt a surge of pride.

Tang Jinshan was even more moved by Gong Li's initiative and enthusiasm.

He once again spent lavishly, buying Gong Li a whole bunch of gifts.

Of course, some of them are things he likes himself.

For example, various stockings and innerwear.

I also bought Gong Li a lot of toys, continuing to let her natural instincts run wild.

With his help, Gong Huang's cultivation level improved significantly.

However, he also had to maintain a professional facade for other social engagements.

In addition to entertaining Gong Li, he also invited other people to the villa for fun and meals.

Poet Chen, Chen Hong, Chen, Zhou Xun, Liu Hua, Sun Zhou, Huo Jianqi, and others all treated us with great hospitality.

No one expected that Tang Jinshan had rented such a luxurious villa here!

It's still by the sea, with a private dock and yachts.

That's so luxurious!

No wonder Tang Jinshan doesn't live with them.

With places like this available, who would want to stay in a hotel?

People now have a more concrete understanding of Tang Jinshan's immense wealth and influence.

To attend a film festival, they chartered a plane, provided food and lodging, and even rented such a large villa.

Rich people really know how to enjoy life!

Chen's feelings were even more complicated.

If I had that much money, maybe my father's illness could be completely cured.

Tang Jinshan told everyone to relax, eat and drink well, and have fun.

Anyway, someone will come and clean up the mess.

In the evening, we'll have a bonfire party.

If there weren't any female lesbians present, he could have brought in a bunch of young models and beauties to liven things up.

"Mr. Tang, you're too generous!"

Poet Chen is also a worldly man.

However, Tang Jinshan's extravagance still shocked him.

"Are the yachts on that dock really allowed to operate?"

Liu Ye felt like she was dreaming.

"Of course you can. If you don't know how to drive, you can hire a professional. If you like, you can also find a time to go out to sea for a trip."

Tang Jinshan laughed.

You can go out to sea now, but I wasn't prepared, and there was nothing to do on the yacht.

"The rent must be very expensive in a place like this, right?"

Chen Hong's eyes also lit up.

in the country, she and the poet Chen are already considered a wealthy group.

However, who has ever experienced such a luxurious enjoyment?

"It's alright, prices are definitely a bit higher during the film festival."

While we were chatting, various dishes were served, and fine red wine was opened.

To entertain everyone, Tang Jinshan hired a team of chefs.

These services all cost extra, and the fees are quite high.

In Europe and America, service fees have always been high, and tipping is expected when dining out.

To Tang Jinshan's surprise, Robert Shea also came to Cannes.

This guy is relentlessly trying to get me to invest more!

"Tang, I've arrived in Cannes too. Where are you?"

Robert Shea sounded eager on the phone.

Such a generous benefactor deserves to be pursued to the ends of the earth.

"The project is still under review, is it really necessary for you to come all this way?"

"I'm not just doing this for you; I also want to help the company find some films with distribution potential for such a prestigious event as the Cannes Film Festival."

"Okay, you're lucky. I was just about to eat, come on over!"

Tang Jinshan simply gave him an address.

There's no way to avoid it.

Perhaps we can even leverage Robert Shea's connections?

"Tang, how could you come all the way to Cannes without showing any concern for our project!"

Not long after, Robert Shea arrived.

They would start complaining with a smile as soon as they met.

"Two of the films I've invested in have been nominated for the Cannes Film Festival. Why don't you consider buying the North American distribution rights?"

Tang Jinshan directly presented him with a difficult problem.

"Really? Then I definitely need to take a good look."

Robert Shay was surprised to find that Tang Jinshan was so talented, with two of his films nominated for the Cannes Film Festival.

It seems his investments in the East have been very successful.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is Poet Chen, the director of 'Farewell My Concubine'."

Upon entering the villa, Tang Jinshan made his introduction.

"Oh? The director of 'Farewell My Concubine'? Director Chen, hello, hello, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Robert Shea looked surprised.

So he always works with directors of this caliber!

"Mr. Tang, who is this?"

Poet Chen was puzzled.

Why is an old white man suddenly coming to find Tang Jinshan?

Judging by their demeanor, they're not simple at all.

"Robert Shea, president of New Line Cinema, said he's coming to the Cannes Film Festival to find some films to distribute. Now's a good opportunity to introduce him to some good directors and help promote Chinese-language films. You should definitely seize this chance!"

Tang Jinshan laughed.

"The president of New Line Cinema?"

Everyone was shocked.

New Line Cinema just co-starred with Jackie Chan in "Rush Hour" last year, how could they not know?

He is very famous in the country, especially in the film industry.

In an instant, directors Chen Shiren, Sun Zhou, and Huo Jianqi felt a surge of excitement.

Imagining all sorts of possibilities.

Unexpectedly, Tang Jinshan knew someone of this caliber!

And they look very familiar with each other!

They then recalled that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released in 2,000 theaters in North America, also in collaboration with New Line Cinema.

That relationship must be even more complicated!

The others were no exception, all looking at Robert Shay with eager expressions.

Tang Jinshan then introduced the two sides, especially the other two directors, Sun Zhou and Huo Jianqi.

"You have three films nominated for the main competition at the Cannes Film Festival? That's impressive!"

Robert Shea was also surprised.

Because of his background, he pays relatively more attention to Chinese-language films.

Chinese-language art films are very impressive, with a large number of directors emerging, and they have achieved remarkable success at the three major European film festivals.

However, it is rare for three films to be nominated at the same time.

That great Eastern power is not only experiencing economic growth, but also cultural revival!

It seems the direction of the new line will need to be adjusted.

And interacting more with these Chinese filmmakers would certainly not be a bad thing.
