On the 17th, in the early morning, Jiang Nan led Zhang Hanyun and Zhao Liying to Cannes...

Why come here?

They are also actors in the crew of "Painted Skin"!

Why can't you come?

By the way, I also brought a newly signed girl...

Four people.

Including makeup artists, dressmakers, and translators, there were a total of eight people.

Jiang Nan is very tough, but at worst I can pay the room fee myself!

It was just a joke later. No matter how much Chen Mengxi hates her, she would never let her pay for it out of her own pocket. Moreover, Zhao Liying and Zhang Hanyun are indeed the main creators of "Painted Skin" - the TV version, and they still count on them.

...

The film festival is actually quite boring, especially this year's main competition unit, there seems to be no movie worth writing about!

Cannes is now trying to go mainstream, and even the midnight porn unit has been cancelled!

Lots of fun.

Chen Mengxi didn’t sleep very well. There were bonfire parties all night on the beach not far from the hotel…

During the film festival, a bunch of movie pilgrims carrying backpacks and sleeping bags came...

There is no place to sleep – the hotel is full.

Then get together to keep warm, talk about movies all night, talk about "Mirror", "Ivan Childhood", "Sacrifice" and "Nomesickness", talk about Bergman, Godard, talk about "Citizen Kane", talk about the language of the camera to the onion-like narrative structure...

When we talk about the fun, we will have a collision between spirit and flesh!

It completely ignored the tourists who were still sleeping soundly in the hotel...

Just like you said, how good is the sleep quality of Chen Mengxi in such an environment?

He heard the knock on the door in a daze and opened the door in pajamas and pants. Jiang Nan looked excited: "We are here!"

“…Then arrange accommodation quickly…”

"I signed a new actress, I'm only 16 years old this year..."

Chen Mengxi ignored her, walked back to the bedroom, and continued to sleep...

It's 4 a.m. now!

Jiang Nan explained a little embarrassedly: "...He is too sleepy, let's take a break first and talk about it during the day..."

This is the first time Nazha has seen Chen Mengxi. The impression is that a very ordinary man doesn’t think there is anything extraordinary!

Jiang Nan's newly signed actress is talking about her...

...

At eight o'clock, Jiang Nan took three actors downstairs and arrived at the hall. Then he found that Chen Mengxi had already talked with a few foreigners...

Jiang Nan didn't quite understand what they were talking about, but he could tell that the situation was very intense.

I happened to see Zhao Jinsong standing beside me and asked quickly: "Old Zhao, what are they talking about?"

"…Talking about the layout of the cocktail party tonight, they are a public relations organization specializing in the cocktail party and banquet..."

"A cocktail party? Is it a cocktail party tonight?"

"Well, we will go back to China tomorrow..."

"Is it so urgent?"

"It costs more than 80,000 euros to stay here for one day, just eating, drinking and lodging, so I can't stay..."

Jiang Nan muttered: "I want to play for half a month..."

Zhao Jinsong pretended not to hear what she said.

Otherwise, how would he answer?

Do you like to play or not, spend your own money, let alone traveling to Cannes, even if you travel around France and Europe, no one cares about you!

It’s really not that Zhao Jinsong is stingy. The expenses are too high, far exceeding expectations. During the film festival, everything is rising, and even Coke has risen from two euros to eight euros, which is like a robbery.

On the other side, Chen Mengxi finally finished communicating with the person in charge. They discussed the style of the cocktail party. According to Chen Mengxi's intention, they just wanted to hold a buffet exchange party. On the other side, they probably thought they had met a rich man and insisted on recommending a castle...

This thing is blamed by Director Chen. The overseas sales film "The Promise" cost 2.5 million euros to buy a castle, which caused a sensation throughout Cannes!

The environment this year is not good, and it is rare to meet a big boss. Of course they want to kill him!

By the way, the overseas failure of "The Promise" only trapped Chen Kaige's own credibility on the surface, but in fact it brought the entire Chinese costume action movie into an embarrassing situation in the overseas market, and even affected Ah Mou!

The "cosmetic + action" blockbusters made in China are not a box office panacea in the eyes of overseas film manufacturers. They do not trust costume action martial arts films and dare not take action just by watching the film. They are in an awkward situation.

The copyright of "The Golden Armor in the City" was sold for only $20 million - you should know that his previous film "The Ambush" sold for $35 million in North America!

This is also the reason why Chen Mengxi and others dare not be optimistic about overseas sales of "Painted Skin" - they only set a sales of 6 million US dollars...

It's twice as big as the previous ten million US dollars!

Back to the topic, Chen Mengxi and Li Yiping were very persuasive, and the cost was set at 600,000 euros. In addition to the hotel site usage fee, equipment, personnel, alcohol and food prices, the total price is around 800,000 euros...

200,000 less than the previous estimate of 1 million...

Li Yiping was a little regretful: "Actually, if we set up a beach party, the price could be reduced by half!"

"...Next time, the beach has been contracted these days!"

Chen Mengxi is also very good...

Isn’t this lack of experience?

Turning his head and seeing Jiang Nan and his group, Chen Mengxi nodded: "Sister Nan!"

"You finally saw me!"

Chen Mengxi didn't care about this resentful tone and changed the topic: "...Did you prepare your own dress with Liying and Han Yun?"

"Well, we brought it from the country!"

"That's good. Let's arrange for them to appear together with Buffett Zhao and Zhou Xun tonight!"

"Okay...can you add another person?"

"Add one?"

"A new actress I signed is named Nazha... Nazha, this is our sunken producer, this is Brother Zhao, Sister Li..."

Naza quickly got up and said hello...

Chen Mengxi looked at Nazha, thinking about something...

This Jiang Nan is simply a trick. He signed Zhao Liying and Zhang Hanyun's two drama conflicts, but he signed Tong Yali, two actors with obvious exotic styles. Obviously, there is also a conflict of resources...

Are you not afraid of private fights?

What you are most afraid of when being an artist is to be two artists with similar styles, which can easily lead to conflicts between the two parties...

I used to think that she had vision and was very talented in being an artist, but now it seems that she really has no plans!

Chen Mengxi shook her head straightforwardly: "It's not appropriate to let her appear in the cast of "Painted Skin"..."

“What’s wrong with this…”

"I said it was inappropriate, it was inappropriate!"

Jiang Nan was choked, but still persisted: "Mengxi, Nazha is your loyal book fan..."

Nazha was a little nervous and stuttered: "...Yes...Yes, I know every book of you!"

"Thank you... Let's have a meal," Chen Mengxi has seen a sea of ​​book fans in recent years. It is impossible to treat her differently because of this...

Looking at Zhao Liying who was eating obediently next to her, Zhang Hanyun, and Chen Mengxi reminded him: "Liying, Hanyun, there will be a reporter to interview you two later, and no spoiler of the script!"

"Then what are we talking about?"

"Just talk about your expectations for the movie, or the crew's experience, for example, the relationship between Chen Kun and Buffett-Zhao, and the relationship between Huang Xiaoming and Buffett-Zhao..."

"oh…"

Zhang Hanyun nodded and continued to eat...

Jiang Nan looked at Chen Mengxi and no longer worried about Nazha's problem: "Let's have a meal too..."
Chapter completed!
