Chapter 201 The drama begins

Jiang Liu's stern refusal made Weinstein and Lundberg leave with resentment in their eyes.

Before they left, Lao Mouzi waved to Jiang Liu and said hello, and Jiang Liu responded politely.

The "war" between "Pirates" and "Heroes" in movie theaters is a commercial competition between the companies behind the movies. The two directors have no grudges in the past and have no grudges in private these days.

As for Zhang Weiping, Jiang Liu would never let him go.

Who knows, we will see the outcome this summer. "Monster" will face "House of Flying Daggers" again. Jiang Liu has prepared a cruel move for Zhang Weiping. Zhang Weiping will definitely cry for his father.

"Mr. Jiang, I will be the heroine for you in the next film!"

"The next film hasn't been released yet. There will definitely be opportunities for cooperation in the future." Jiang Liu felt the itching in his palms and politely rejected Zhang Ziyi.

He rarely attends domestic and foreign film awards events, and this was the first time he met Zhang Ziyi up close.

Zhang Ziyi has an average appearance, a bit dark and thin.

In recent years, she has frequently appeared in international film festivals and gained a good reputation. The domestic media and audiences also love to praise her and Gong Li, and they have a good temperament.

But Jiang Liu has no hobby of collecting stamps. He is a member of the Standard Appearance Association and has no interest in Zhang Ziyi.

"Zhang Weiping's plan is probably the same as ours. "House of Flying Daggers" will tour in Cannes and then return to China for promotion and marketing." He Jing speculated with a frown.

"Don't worry about him, Lionsgate will send important people to Cannes?"

"Definitely. Lionsgate relies on picking up underground films to maintain its livelihood and will not miss the annual Cannes Film Festival."

"The people are here, arrange for us to meet."

After Jiang Liu finished speaking, he called He Jing and the others to walk outside the movie palace.

Nothing to do, just buy a pair of swimming trunks, sunbathe on the beach in the afternoon, and enjoy the beauty of Western beauties.

At night, he lay down on the beach chair again, covered his body with a thin blanket, and enjoyed the unique free outdoor beach movie.

"Damn it, foreigners do know how to enjoy it. It's all a waste of time making and watching movies." Jiang Wen sighed with emotion as he took a sip of beer.

"This is called enjoying life. After the film festival, I have to look into buying an apartment nearby. From now on, when I get old, I can just drink wine and watch movies, listening to the waves, and the beauties in bikinis are so eye-catching."

Jiang Wen said in surprise: "You want to immigrate?"

"Forget it about immigrating, otherwise my father can jump out of the grave and strangle me to death. As long as you have money, you can't settle down anywhere in the world."

"Awesome, let's go. It's easy to get corrupted if I stay with you. Quentin, the chairman of the jury for this year's film festival, wants to find someone to brag about. You can meet him some other time."

"What's the big deal with him? If you meet him, you'll see him. If you don't, you'll pull him down."

As Jiang Liu was talking, a straight beautiful leg appeared in his sight. He looked up and saw a bikini girl holding a red wine glass and said, "Handsome man, can you buy me a drink?"

Jiang Liu happily picked up the Romanee-Conti on the beach and urged Lao Jiang: "Old Jiang, don't you want to leave? Hurry up and give up your seat."

"Have you forgotten your friends because of sex?"

"It's not that, it's not that, mainly because I spent more than 3000 US dollars on this bottle of red wine, and finally caught a mermaid. Our good brothers, you can at least let me recover some losses and taste some sweetness."

"rough."

Jiang Wen stood up depressed while holding a beer. Jiang Liu quickly invited the beautiful woman to sit aside.

The beauty with flaming red lips naturally sat on the beach chair: "Are you Japanese?"

"The Japanese are so stingy, how can I be Japanese? I am Chinese."

"So it comes from a mysterious ancient country in the East? I thought only Japanese people would walk around on the beach carrying a bottle of Romanee-Conti from Burgundy, cheers."

"clang"

After clinking glasses, Jiang Liu poured the wine for him in a gentlemanly manner, and took the opportunity to ask: "Are you a native of France?" "Yes, an actor. What about you, a film producer? Not too young, an actor?"

Hearing that the other party was an actor, Jiang Liu looked at the other party carefully. After recognizing the young French rose Eva Green from the brows of the other party, he said: "She is a film producer, producer and director, but she is not an actor."

"Am I looking like a fool?"

"Do I look like a liar?"

"You're funny, but let's just enjoy the movie."

Jiang Liu's narrow gaze made Eva Green chuckle, and she pointed at the big screen.

On the screen, Tony Leung Ka Fai's character Kuo Shaocheng and the French actress Jean March staged a provocative kiss in the movie called "Lover".

"Next time I see you, I can tell you my name."

Eva Green decisively left after the movie screening. Jiang Liu felt as uncomfortable as a cat's paw. They said that France's roses are unrestrained. Who knew that this girl liked hide-and-seek games.

"What a waste of my good wine."

Jiang Liu muttered unhappily and returned to his residence.

After not meeting Eva Green for two days in a row, Jiang Liu had no time to go to the beach or play hide and seek.

On May 5, the 13th Cannes Film Festival officially opened, and "Monster" ushered in its first audience trial.

"Pirates" did well at the box office in Europe.

But Jiang Liu has so far received countless awards at the three major European film festivals.

He is not a well-known director from Hollywood. Naturally, the organizing committee of this year will not give special treatment and provided a small screening room for "Monster" with a few hundred people.

"Director Park Chan-wook of 'Oldboy'."

In front of the screening room, after Li Meijing introduced the guests, Jiang Liu immediately extended his hand and said, "Hello, thank you for your support."

"Director Jiang, I have been looking forward to "The Han River Monster" since last year."

"Thank you, please."

After sending Park Chan-wook into the screening room, He Jing whispered: "Boss, Carina Lau and the princess are here, but "2046" director Wang Jiawei and other actors are nowhere to be seen."

Jiang Liu raised his eyebrows, thinking that it would be great to have two people on the "2046" crew.

He and Wang Jiawei also had a little feud.

Dong Jie is an artist from Wang Jiawei's Zhengdong Company. Qin Lan and Dong Jie failed in their competition for the role in "Golden Pink Family" because Zhengdong Company spent more than 100 million more to buy Dong Jie's role. Yi Xin was one of the beneficiaries. .

Let's look at the actors in "2046", including Tony Leung, Gong Li, Wang Fei, Takuya Kimura, Zhang Ziyi, Liu Jialing, Zhang Chen, Dong Jie, and Maggie Cheung.

Jiang Liu was mostly offended. He had a quarrel with Gong Li in 2000.

Zhang Ziyi had just been rejected by him.

Not to mention Dong Jie, Wang Jiawei is Dong Jie’s boss.

The relationship between Tony Leung and Dong Jie is unclear.

Looking at it this way, it is already a great honor for Liu Jialing and the princess to come.

After chatting with the two for a few words, Jiang Liuli escorted them into the screening room. When they came out, Zhang Yimou and Maggie Cheung came unexpectedly.

Jiang Liu recited the names of several people silently in his mind, and walked into the screening room with Zhang Yimou, Maggie Cheung, He Jing, Li Meijing and others.

The projectionist didn't let everyone chat for a while. When the time came, the lights in the hall went out and the big screen came on.

Several English letters floated out - "The Host"!
