Cannes.

During the film festival, in addition to a large number of film industry professionals, many film enthusiasts also come to visit.

At that moment, a film school tour group was on the beach.

Leading the group was an older actor named James Best, 54 years old this year. In his youth, he served in the military and even worked as a member of parliament in Germany. He was introduced to theatrical performance by chance. After returning to the United States, he was scouted by Universal Pictures and officially began his acting career.

Although he never played leading roles, he appeared in numerous films and television series between the 50s and 60s, becoming an actor whose face was familiar to many viewers but whose name they couldn't quite place. Among his more well-known works were the 1955 television series "A Fistful of Dollars" and "The Hitchcock Stories," in which he played supporting roles.

He probably felt that his acting talent pool was limited, so he settled for second best and started his own film company, which produced low-budget films and television dramas while also running acting classes to train aspiring actors for a fee.

Coming to the Cannes Film Festival this time was purely accidental. The company's deputy manager, Micah, told him that the company's financial situation was worrying recently, and if they didn't find a way to make some money, they might not be able to pay their taxes next month.

Best was also anxious, but his company was too small, and sometimes the movies he made couldn't even be shown in theaters.

Just then, Micah gave him an idea: to take their company's film to the Cannes Film Festival.

At first, Best thought the idea was ridiculous; how could Cannes possibly be interested in their company's work?

Micah's answer was that as long as they went to Cannes and then promoted the film afterward that it had won the approval of the Cannes judges, the audience wouldn't care whether it was true or not.

Best agreed wholeheartedly, but felt the travel expenses were too high, not to mention accommodation and food; a trip there would probably cost them several months' worth of earnings.

It has to be said that Micah is indeed a genius of ideas, and he came up with another suggestion for him.

The company has hired many child actors, so we told them that the company had secured an opportunity to study at the Cannes Film Festival. Each person only needed to pay between $500 and $1,000 to participate in this study tour. For future company films, those who signed up will be given priority.

Best's company currently has over twenty students. Even if each student only pays five hundred dollars, that's over ten thousand dollars, more than his film earnings. Families that can afford to send their kids to study film are generally quite well-off.

Of course, there is one exception, and that is a little rascal named Quentin.

This kid just graduated from high school and dreams of becoming a big star like Marlon Brando.

Moreover, this kid is extremely narcissistic, thinking he's a performing genius. He's quite disrespectful to the acting class teacher, always pointing fingers and giving orders, which makes the teacher and classmates dislike him.

But this kid is indeed talented. Several scripts for Best Pictures were written by him.

What's even more remarkable is that this kid didn't ask for a screenwriting fee; he only wanted to act in a big-budget movie.

Best certainly promised him a lot, saying that he would definitely include him when big productions came knocking.

Quentin knew perfectly well that his boss was talking nonsense, but he had nowhere else to go, so he had no choice but to stay in the acting class.

Quentin immediately saw through the charade of this so-called study group, so he refused it from the start.

To everyone's surprise, Best took pity on him and waived his fees, but on the condition that he be completely obedient during that time.

Quentin, upon hearing that it was free, naturally followed along.

As soon as he arrived in Cannes, he began to regret his decision.

Because Best really treated him like an animal, not only making him responsible for his daily food, clothing, and shelter, but also assigning him all sorts of errands.

Everyone else went to the beach to swim and play, but he had to stay on the shore and watch over things.

There are also quite a few petty thieves in Cannes.

"Hey buddy, wanna go to the movies?"

Just then, a beautiful woman, almost naked from the waist up, walked up to him with a flyer in her hand.

He first noticed the beautiful woman's pair of white breasts, then quickly looked down without lingering, at her slender waist, exaggerated hips—until finally, he saw a pair of rather rounded jade feet.

"Of course, I'm from film school." From the moment Quentin saw those feet, he was determined to have a good chat with this woman: "Nobody loves movies more than me."

"Later, the holiday theater next door is showing a Chinese movie," the papaya-skinned beauty said with a smile, her body pressed against Quentin. "Want to go check it out?"

Quentin paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up immediately: "Chinese movies? Like Bruce Lee's?"

Actually, the papaya beauty didn't know what movie it was either, and replied, "Right? Want to go see it?"

"Of course!" Quentin stared at the beautiful woman's bare feet, his face beaming with excitement. "After the movie, how about we grab some coffee?"

Drinking coffee is also a hint that you want to develop a relationship beyond friendship.

"You're still young, let's talk about it later." The papaya beauty didn't agree immediately.

Quentin stared longingly at the other person's feet and exclaimed, "Truly a work of art."

"What did you say?" The papaya beauty was taken aback.

"It's nothing." Quentin quickly suppressed his quirks and followed behind the papaya beauty: "Come on, let's go see a movie."

The papaya-shaped beauty pointed to a pile of things on the ground: "These must be your companions' things, right? Is it alright to leave them here?"

"It's alright." Quentin was now preoccupied with how to get the other person to allow him to touch her feet. "It's nothing valuable, no one will steal it."

The two walked together towards the movie theater.

The papaya beauty led Quentin to the middle of the screening room, and her companions also hooked up with their male partners.

Seeing the beautiful woman from Papaya brought Kunjiang, they couldn't help but tease her.

"Oh, Tina, your taste hasn't changed. You still like ugly little kids."

"Judging by his appearance, he's probably not even 18 yet. Has he grown hair?"

Quentin, who was never known for his good temper, immediately flew into a rage upon hearing these sarcastic remarks, and retorted, "Hey, bitch, if you can't speak properly, shut your mouth. I have far more experience than you, and my Big Dick can shut your damn mouths up."

The women immediately started commotion: "Oh, she's got quite a temper. Tina probably likes her even more now."

"Alright, everyone shut up, the movie's about to start." The papaya beauty was still a bit curious about the movie, after all, she'd been helping promote it for two days.

Moreover, the Chinese guy who invited them to help was also to her liking. If he weren't so handsome and already had a girlfriend, she would definitely have tried to seduce him.

Tina's preferences are quite peculiar. Her first priority is youth; she has no interest in men over twenty. Secondly, they must be ugly; she loses interest in men who are too handsome.

Because of this quirk, she was often mocked by her companions as the witch Tina.

The lights in the screening room dimmed.

Quentin was in a bad mood, crossed his arms, and looked at the screen.

In fact, many viewers are not very interested in Chinese films; they were simply lured in by those bikini-clad women.

They also don't think China can produce any good movies.

Even in Hong Kong, they only produced one Bruce Lee, and he's already passed away.

On the black screen, a rather old yet deep voice rang out: "At the end of the Ming Dynasty, natural disasters occurred frequently."

Furthermore, the eunuchs held power and persecuted loyal officials, leading to widespread suffering among the people.

Righteous figures from the martial arts world, using the Shaolin Temple as their banner, launched a vigorous resistance movement.

Wang Cheng, the director of the Eastern Depot, learned that Shaolin Temple possessed a treasure called the Cotton Kasaya, which contained a divine skill that could regenerate severed limbs and grant immortality.

Thus, a grand conspiracy was hatched in his mind to seize the opportunity to wipe out Shaolin, steal their divine skills, and thus dominate the world.
