China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 396 The last dance, the ceiling of romance movies

Maybe it's God's fault.

It had been raining all day in southern France, and it was indescribably damp and cold.

According to the weather forecast here, it will rain continuously from today until the closing ceremony.

Zhou Yutang directly acted as a hands-off shopkeeper and left the copyright matter to Li Shuang and his team to discuss it. He was not shy or impatient with Liu Yifei in the hotel.

It feels really different to do it in a hotel in the capital than to do it in Cannes, which is tens of thousands of miles away from the capital.

There is a rare sense of freshness and excitement.

Liu Yifei also seems to be more open-minded and is willing to try even postures that she usually wouldn't agree to.

Nor was he obsessed with cultivating immortality.

There was a lot of entertainment at this glitzy event.

As soon as Zhou Yutang arrived in Cannes, he received an invitation to take Liu Yifei to attend the press conference of Jackie Chan's movie "Zodiac".

Jackie Chan's movie is also scheduled to be released during the Lunar New Year this year, and it chose to promote it in Cannes.

“This year’s Lunar New Year festival is very lively.”

After Zhou Yutang and Liu Yifei finished dealing with the media, they looked at the first trailer with a slight smile on their lips.

The King of Sunglasses, who has been sharpening his sword for several years, is waiting to become a blockbuster in "The Grandmaster".

With Bona's big investment in "Big Shanghai", Fa Ge and Huang Xiaoming, these two generations of Xu Wenqiang come together and can be called a luxury cast.

There is also the action movie Jackie Chan. When he was interviewed by foreign media, he said that "Twelve Zodiac Signs" will be his last dance:

"I'm so old that I can no longer jump up and down and fight and kill. My movies are not Batman or Superman, they are about real combat."

"This routine is possible"

Seeing Jackie Chan's passionate speech, which caused a sensation in the media, Zhou Yutang muttered to himself, but Miss Liu heard it and asked curiously: "Xiao Zhou, what's the trick?"

She suspected that Zhou Yutang had thought of something so embarrassing that he could come up with such a shameful gesture.

Zhou Yutang chuckled softly: "I mean, propaganda routine."

"Oh."

Liu Yifei responded lightly, blushing a little.

I must have been led astray by Xiao Zhou to think about this in broad daylight.

Zhou Yutang thought she was a little confused and explained to her: "Brother Jackie Chan hasn't realized yet. In fact, people of our generation grew up watching his action movies. If the last action movie is regarded as a publicity stunt. "

"It will definitely attract more viewers to the cinema."

Liu Yifei suddenly nodded and asked: "Then what does the promotion routine of our movie have to do with this?"

"When the time comes, I can say that this is the last romance film I will make."

Zhou Yutang smiled leisurely and said: "Of course, doing this will definitely stimulate the box office to a certain extent, but if we make this type of movie again in the future, we will be scolded by the audience."

"Then you really won't make romance movies in the future?"

"The company's projects should still be done, after all, they can make money..."

Zhou Yutang didn’t take it seriously and said, “But I will definitely stop filming.”

The road of youth and love has come to an end for him.

From "Those Years" to "Love Like a Bouquet", from the beautiful love in youth campus to the love in social reality.

It was enough for him to become invincible in this field.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhou Yutang has become a youth memory for a generation.

Making this kind of love movie is not challenging at all for him.

As long as this face appears in front of the camera, it can make the hearts of young girls and aunties flutter.

But Zhou Yutang didn't want to stay in his comfort zone. He was still the same young man who wanted to make progress, without any change.

"Xiao Zhou, you are so awesome."

Liu Yifei couldn't hide the love in her eyes.

Zhou Yutang's unabashed ambition and proactive attitude made her a little admired.

"Does it still hurt?"

"."

Liu Yifei understood instantly and responded with a lovely eye roll.

If Jackie Chan's movie conference wasn't so crowded, she would have really wanted to give Zhou Yutang an elbow.

The two of them were talking here, but the press conference was extremely lively.

After all, Jackie Chan is still the same international superstar.

The organizing committee of the Cannes Film Festival even set up a red carpet specifically for Jackie Chan and screened "Plan A" shot in 1983 at the Beach Cinema.

This is also the only Chinese movie shown so far in Beach Cinema.

After Jackie Chan finished the interview, he saw Zhou Yutang entering the venue. His face was full of joy, and he came over and put his arms around his shoulders: "Ah Tang, congratulations on the sale of your copyright. Yifei is becoming more and more beautiful."

It’s no secret that the film rights to “Bouquet” are very popular in Cannes, and film producers from all over the world flock to it.

"Compared to big brother Jackie Chan, it's just a small fight."

"Little House, come here and call Director Zhou."

Jackie Chan waved to his son.

"Hello, Director Zhou."

The little house was having a passionate exchange with a pretty girl, making the girl tremble.

He looked a little unhappy after being summoned by his father, but he still walked over obediently and said hello politely.

As the son of Jackie Chan, his birth point is directly at the end of many people.

Growing up with a silver spoon in his mouth, life has always been simple. No matter how powerful Zhou Yutang is, he doesn't need to fawn over because his father is Jackie Chan.

"Are you polite?" Brother Jackie Chan scolded him with a sullen face.

"Brother Long, forget it."

Zhou Yutang smiled: "Don't disturb Brother Xiaofang's art exchange with the beauty."

The little house grinned, feeling that Zhou Yutang was very angry with him. He also waved his beautiful girl over and introduced him proactively: "This is my friend Su Zixian, a very powerful female model."

"This is Director Zhou. If you want to develop in the mainland entertainment industry in the future, you can get to know him."

"Hello, Director Zhou."

This female model, with a face full of surprise and an attitude as respectful as possible, took the initiative to extend her hands to shake hands with Zhou Yutang: "I am your fan."

"Ah hello."

Zhou Yutang nodded slightly as a greeting.

Wanwan’s unique whiny accent.

He doesn't look very old, but at least he has the strength of 32D. Although his appearance is exquisite, it has a bit of technology.

Little House is worthy of Jackie Chan's bloodline, he really knows how to play.

It is impossible to take care of him. This kind of ordinary things in nightclubs have no appeal to Zhou Yutang.

Today's protagonist is Jackie Chan, and the two of them didn't chat for long. Zhou Yutang found an excuse and took Liu Yifei to chat with an acquaintance.

Jackie Chan glanced at the back of Zhou Yutang leaving with Liu Yifei, and looked at the small house where he was still chatting and laughing with the female model. He really hated the iron.

He sighed secretly in his mind.

I can't even tell what other people are saying to each other.

This large number is considered useless.

It would be great if the little house was one-tenth as good as Zhou Yutang.

"Yu Tang, are you familiar with Jackie Chan?"

Liu Yifei followed Zhou Yutang and found a corner to hide in peace.

"It's not too familiar."

"Then he's so enthusiastic about you."

Liu Yifei's starry eyes flashed with light.

Although an international superstar like Jackie Chan is usually very easy-going, I have never seen him treat others with such an attitude.

"I want to pave the way for my son."

Zhou Yutang smiled nonchalantly.

Brother Jackie Chan just said that he hopes Little House can take over from him.

Of course, he would use his connections and influence to pave the way for Prince Long.

In the mainland entertainment industry, as long as Zhou Yutang nods, there is a high probability that Prince Long will become an instant hit.

"Then are you going to support him?"

"He is not my son."

Zhou Yutang asked with a strange look on his face: "Why should I praise him?"

During the following period, before the closing ceremony of Cannes, Zhou Yutang not only negotiated copyrights with film producers from various countries in the exhibition area, but also met many old friends.

Chief Jia, Jiang Wen, Huo Wenxi, the vice president of China Film Group, Mr. Zhou, Wang Zhonglei, Xu Ke and others all arrived.

There are also many female celebrities who were not invited but came just to be on the red carpet of the closing ceremony.

There have been a lot of cocktail parties and socializing these days. Zhou Yutang attended a cocktail party here in Yinghuang, and then was pulled over by Jia Qi, the deputy director of the program center of the movie channel, and said: "Yu Tang, the movie channel has organized a Chinese movie festival here. Ye, you have to come over.”

"Sister Jia, can you not go?"

"This is a grand event for China's films to integrate with international standards, realize the common prosperity of Chinese and foreign films, and more effectively promote China's films to go global, effectively realize the great prosperity and development of China's films, and accelerate the transformation of my country from a major film production country to a powerful film country. Target."

The female deputy director of the program center of the movie channel had dealt with Zhou Yutang many times before, and the two of them were quite familiar with each other. She began to explain to him: "You are now a star in the mainland entertainment industry, so you must come here."

"Sister, I'm going."

When it came to this point, Zhou Yutang couldn't bear it anymore and had no choice but to agree.

People in the arena involuntarily.

Standing in this position, favors are inevitable, and some face must be given.

The event venue was located on the beach of the Majestic Hotel in Cannes, and the night was star-studded.

Many senior officials from the Guangzhou General Administration also came, including Pei Kang, as well as several leaders from the movie channel program center.

Everyone knew that Zhou Yutang was the one who alerted the top leaders, so everyone looked kind-hearted after meeting.

BAYAD, Chairman and Executive Director of the Marketing Department of the Cannes Film Festival, also came over to support the event.

When he saw Zhou Yutang, this fat middle-aged white man came up and gave her a warm hug: "Zhou, your movie "Love Like a Bouquet" was great."

"Thank you."

Zhou Yutang endured the strong perfume on the foreigner's body and looked around for Teacher Fan.

Liu Yifei and Mr. Zhou had been having a heated fight over the past two days, and they had arranged to go shopping, and now they were sitting and chatting together.

He planned to manage his time and discuss art with Teacher Fan.

Teacher Fan also wore a formal dress today and found Zhou Yutang in the crowd. The two of them met Xu Ke somewhat unexpectedly, but the person accompanying him was not his wife Shi Nansheng, but a young and beautiful girl.

Zhou Yutang only glanced at it and then didn't care much. He and Teacher Fan entered a VIP lounge and put up the "Do Not Disturb" sign.

There is a fireworks show outside.

Brilliant fireworks crackled, lighting up the night in Cannes.
