Chapter 436: Fanatic Dream

"Two six million dollars!"

With the emergence of this price, Victoria's Secret's sky-high lingerie "Fever Dream" launched this year has a new owner, and the atmosphere on Cannes Beach has reached its peak today.

Before the opening of the Cannes Film Festival, the most eye-catching thing was not any film that started screening in advance, nor any star who arrived in Cannes, but the Victoria's Secret Angels staged this catwalk in the name of charity on the beach less than 100 meters away from the Palazzo de Festival.

"Why don't they choose tomorrow? That's going to be more interesting."

Ryan sat in the front chair and chatted with Leonardo and Harvey Weinstein beside him, "If Victoria's Secret walks the show at the opening of the Film Festival tomorrow, I don't know what the organizing committee will react."

"Not everyone is as bored as you." The fat on Harvey Weinstein's face was shaking obviously. "Don't forget, Ryan, you don't fit the identity of a member of the festival's judges now."

"I'm even more curious who bought that fantasy." Leonardo suddenly changed the subject, "I originally wanted to buy it and give it to Giselle..."

"For love, Zheng Qianjin, Leon, you are so generous." Ryan patted his shoulder, and Harvey Weinstein on the other side lowered his face and joked, "How can Leon compare to you, Ryan..."

After giving Ryan a clear look, he continued, "Ranai Island, that is the sixth largest island in the Hawaiian Islands, and you bought it in your hands."

In fact, Ryan also knew that the old friends he made in his early years had some of his relationship with Nicole. Although he never made it clear, if he seized the opportunity, these guys would still make a few jokes in a vague way.

As for Lanai Island, facing a negotiation team composed of four women, Nicole Kidman, Judy Foster, Cate Blanchett and Antonia Kidman, Larry Ellison, who was dealing with the stock market crash, made a very wise choice to give in. After all, Ryan is not his old rival Bill Gates, so there is no need to fight with a bayonet. Stabilizing Oracle's stock price is his most urgent job.

"Then we have a good place to go on vacation in the future." Leonardo had already calculated, "Can I borrow your new yacht after "Gladiator" is finished? It is indeed a good choice to sail from Los Angeles to Lanai."

"You can also summon more angels to have a swimsuit party on it." Harvey Weinstein looked at the long-legged beauties who were thanking the surroundings on the stand. "Leon, remember to count me."

"Two, I want to remind you."

Ryan couldn't help but look at two people who had a more common language in this regard. "The pier of Lanai is about to be expanded, otherwise it will not be able to accommodate large ships."

This island is not just about buying it. After Ryan contacted Nicole, he had found a professional team and prepared to update the island's facilities.

"Ryan, this seems to have nothing to do with swimsuit parties, right?" Leonardo pointed to a model on the stage who was nearly six feet tall. "I saw that the model is from Brazil like Giselle. It is said to be well educated..."

"Come on, Leon." Harvey Weinstein interrupted him. "If Ryan really wants to attend our party, believe me, he will die very badly!"

What kind of personality is Nicole Kidman? These old friends are not sure where they are.

"Okay, okay." Ryan really didn't want to continue to linger with these two people in language, and immediately said, "Whether it's Lanai or a yacht, if you want to use it, just say hello to George in advance."

He also pretended to be a serious reminder, "Remember, the maintenance fee is yours!"

After the charity auction, it is a routine donation activity. There is no mandatory requirement here, and no one will interfere if they don't donate. However, all those who can be invited by Victoria's Secret are rich and famous people. These people are all "enthusiastic" people who are charitable.

Ryan and the other two were no exception. They had experienced too many such occasions in Hollywood. After each of them left a six-digit check, they were ready to leave.

"What a pity, fantasy." Leonardo also felt regretful. After more than 15 million US dollars in the previous bidding, he chose to withdraw voluntarily.

"If you can date fewer blonde and long-legged models, I think Giselle will be happier." Ryan shook his head, put his shoulders on his shoulders, and walked towards the hotel with a celebration party behind him.

Leonardo shrugged and made a gesture you understand.

After all, this is someone else's private matter, and Ryan is too lazy to say anything. He talked about the movies with Harvey Weinstein while walking.

"Have, you've been here for almost a week. Do you have any works you like?"

"Not yet." The fat man shook his head, noticed several Chinese faces in front of him, pointed and said, "Ryan, I have watched the internal preview of Jenkins Films. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has the potential to sell well."

"Harvey, how do you have a relationship with the film festival organizing committee?" Ryan said in a voice that only three of them heard. "If the movie can get the Palme d'Or, I think it will definitely be of great help to the box office revenue..."

"Ryan." Harvey Weinstein reminded very seriously, "This is France, not our territory."

"Okay, it depends on the situation." Ryan smiled indifferently.

There are also many inside stories about the three major European film festivals. Their meaning of sharing cakes is more obvious than that of the Oscars. It’s just that who can get the most delicious piece. If you want to sell a movie like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with all Chinese actors, you must work hard on publicity. The Palme drew a good headshot.

The emergence of so many celebrities and celebrities will definitely attract a large number of reporters. Before entering the hotel, Ryan was stopped by reporters from French media such as Le Figaro.

"Mr. Jenkins, how do you feel about being a judge at the festival?"

"It's a privilege, it's both an honor and a responsibility." Ryan's answer was completely formulaic.

"You have been in contact with Luc Besson. Will you still cooperate?" asked another reporter.

"Mr. Besson is a very good director. If you have the chance, you will definitely do it." Ryan signaled to George and was about to leave. The reporter of Le Figaro suddenly asked another question. "Mr. Jenkins, I know that "Qingren" revealed that the original plan of director Roman Polansky was to bring "Pianist" to participate in the competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival, but your film company insisted on letting the film premiere in North America, which led to the breakdown of the relationship with director Polansky. Is this true? Don't you think it's a pity to be absent from the Cannes Film Festival for such an excellent work?"

"This is totally nonsense." Ryan still kept smiling and said pure clichés. "The cooperation between Jenkins Film and Director Polansky is very pleasant. "The Pianist" won the Oscar for Best Picture because Director Polansky made great efforts."

"Ryan..."

Although another problem came, Ryan ignored it and walked into the hotel under the protection of the bodyguard.

Leonardo and Harvey Weinstein were waiting in the hotel lobby. After seeing him, Leonardo led the way, while the fat man took a few steps and said, "In the eyes of French media, Roman Polanski is a director who is better than James Cameron and Stephen Spielberg."

"So, I've been praising him." Ryan smiled slightly.

No matter what the French and Poles think, Roman Polansky's status in his mind is not even as good as Michael Bed.

Ryan’s standard for measuring directors is very simple. A director who cannot make money for himself is definitely not a good director.

The hotel's largest banquet hall is decorated in a grand manner. Victoria's Secret's senior executives and angels shuttle around the crowd, showing their superb communication methods with their natural advantages.

After the senior executives of Victoria's Secret came to say hello, Ryan and the other two separated. Most of the people who appeared in the banquet hall were from Europe, and some guests from all over the world who attended the Cannes Film Festival. In Ryan's eyes, they were all strangers.

But he is different. In terms of fame alone, no one in the entire banquet hall can match it.

As a result, people came one after another to say hello. Faced with those awkward accents, Ryan scratched his head and could only smile politely.

Perhaps among these people, there are famous directors and actors from a certain country and region.

Despite this speculation, Ryan maintained a polite manner because he didn't need them and made friends with him.

Victoria's Secret has developed rapidly over the years, and even many film crews who did not participate in the afternoon beach catwalk were invited by them to attend the celebration party.

"Hello, Mr. Wang." Ryan nodded politely in the face of the guy wearing sunglasses introduced by Harvey Weinstein.

No matter whether it is a movie or a person, he doesn't catch a cold.

After a few simple words, the two found that there was a huge difference in cognition of the movie. This guy, marked by sunglasses, left quickly.

Ryan just came to support Leonardo for his sake. After looking at the time, he was about to say goodbye. Unexpectedly, Ang Lee brought the crew members of "The Dragon and Hidden Dragon" to come over.

"Long time no see, Lee."

After shaking hands, Ryan smiled and said, "I heard from Julius that the film was very well made."

"That's because of your financial support." Ang Lee is very good at being a human being.

"Don't you introduce it?" Ryan looked at the actor.

"This is Mr. Zhou, this is Mr. Zhang, this is Miss Yang, and this is Ms. Zheng." Ang Lee cooperated and introduced one by one, "This is..."
