Chapter 56: Don’t listen, don’t listen, the bastard chants sutras
Although many artists who appeared on the red carpet had already returned home after the opening ceremony, not all domestic filmmakers who came here were here just to walk the red carpet.
A considerable part of it is for selling copyrights and promoting movies.
It's not just the films that have been shortlisted that come to sell copyrights. Even Chief Zheng's films are not the most prominent domestic films in the market.
Those films that are willing to spend money on large-scale publicity are all commercial films.
As for whether they can get back the money they invested by selling the copyright, only God knows.
Their purpose may not necessarily be to sell copyrights, they may just want to publish a press release saying that "the copyright of a certain movie is selling well in Cannes."
So, this is Cannes.
It is a temple of art, but also a feast of money and capital.
The reason why Lu Wenyuan appeared here was mainly because the movie he starred in came to Cannes for promotion.
These are the domestic films that have caused the biggest stir in the entire film market.
It seems to be a magical commercial film about tomb robbery.
This guy seems to have some shame. He didn't even step foot on the red carpet, and the only photos he released were some street shots and photos of the beach.
He appeared in front of Bai Youlou again, actually to support him.
But the interesting thing about this matter is that this guy didn't know at first that he was here to support Bai Youlou.
Bai Youlou himself used to be an idol, and he knows that when he was more popular, many of his schedules were arranged directly by his agent.
Lu Wenyuan himself might not really know what movie he was going to watch.
The last time they met, this guy wanted to show off in front of An Luning and verbally attack Bai Youlou, the morally corrupt scum.
Unfortunately it failed.
Because Bai Youlou didn't take any verbal attacks, and when he tried to escalate the conflict directly into a physical fight, Lu Wenyuan retreated in a hurry.
This time, this guy still didn't come up with anything new.
He still despised Bai Youlou, but at least he had learned his lesson from last time.
This time I just spit at him with my eyes.
Then she pulled Hu Manyin aside to whisper to her, continued to spit at Bai Youlou with her eyes, and then continued to whisper to Hu Manyin.
Damn it, Bai Youlou knew with his butt that this guy was saying bad things about him.
But when he tried to get closer to listen to what this guy was talking about, he immediately became alert and pulled Hu Manyin away.
You know what, it's quite a dog!
Hu Manyin, who was caught in the middle, was extremely embarrassed and even looked at Bai Youlou for help.
Save me, save me!
Fortunately, Lu Wenyuan’s eloquence was average, and after speaking for a while, he ran out of words.
He glared at Bai Youlou fiercely!
Bai Youlou: Finally here~
He was ready to teach this boy a lesson, and wanted to contribute to the lively Cannes scene of a man beating up his compatriot in front of the Film Palace.
As a result, I saw the other person walk away after glaring at me.
he's gone? !
Bai Youlou's mind was full of question marks. He couldn't help but look at Hu Manyin and tapped his temple gently, "Does he have any problem too?"
and also?
Hu Manyin was stunned for a moment, then her face was full of embarrassment, "Brother Lu is quite enthusiastic, Director Bai, have you really hit him?"
"Well, he doesn't admit it?" Bai Youlou just lied.
".I didn't dare to ask. He is a bit childish."
Her words were a little dry, perhaps because she really didn't know how to reconcile the conflict between the two people.
Fortunately, Bai Youlou doesn’t care much about this. That guy is like an NPC in front of him.
Now he even felt it was a bit magical, and felt that the other party might suddenly appear in front of him and look down on him next time.
A man who can flash, even if he is an opponent, will always be fun to watch.
It just doesn't work.
"Okay, the audience has almost arrived, let's go in and watch the movie. Do you want to take a pee?"
Just after sending out the invitation to form a team to pee, Bai Youlou realized that Hu Manyin was a girl. There was no need to form a team.
Besides, we were just casual acquaintances, so forget about the weapons display.
He waved his hand and went to drain the water first.
As a result, just one minute after he left, Hu Manyin was about to go in when she saw Lu Wenyuan coming back in a somewhat embarrassed manner. "Brother Lu, what's wrong with you?"
"My agent forced me to come back." Lu Wenyuan hesitated and couldn't speak clearly.
However, Hu Manyin understood it immediately this time. After all, as an artist of Star Entertainment, she was very clear about her company's style.
If it was the idol Bai Youlou who had his scandals, then they would definitely be told to stay away from him.
But if it was the new director Bai Youlou, who was shortlisted for Cannes, then the reaction of Hu Manyin’s agent would not be much different from that of Lu Wenyuan’s agent.
This is the transformation that identity brings!
"Then hurry up and go in, the movie is about to start." Hu Manyin was considerate of the other party's face and did not bring up the issue further.
As a result, Lu Wenyuan was a little disdainful, "Bai Youlou was just lucky to be shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival. What good movie can he make?"
Hu Manyin's face fell, "Brother, I also participated in the performance."
"Why do you want to act in his movie? Manman, let me tell you, Bai Youlou is a bad person."
Don't listen, don't listen, the bastard chants sutras.
Hu Manyin now felt that Lu Wenyuan deserved to be beaten for his mouth.
Why are you still targeting Bai Youlou? Who hasn't done something wrong?
What hatred do you two have? You are not Zhen Dongjun, so why do you put yourself in the shoes of the victim?
Lu Wenyuan: Actually, it’s about the same.
But he was also too embarrassed to say that he had shown his kindness to An Luning, but was messed up by Bai Youlou.
After entering, Hu Manyin pretended not to see Lu Wenyuan and wanted her to change seat and sit next to her.
He ran straight to Bai Youlou and sat down.
Seeing this scene, Lu Wenyuan felt helpless and could only mutter to himself again. As expected, he was still cursing Bai Youlou.
The muttering was so intense that even Section Chief Zheng next to him could not stand it anymore.
I have never heard of any conflict between Bai Youlou, the former half-step top star, and the current top star Lu Wenyuan.
You wouldn't curse like that at someone else's premiere in Cannes, right?
The scolding was so uncreative that it almost gave Chief Zheng's eardrums calluses.
Because Lu Wenyuan kept repeating the same old things like "he is morally corrupt and not a good person".
He was speechless and wanted to laugh, but in the end he couldn't help but give a reminder.
"Xiao Lu, the movie is about to start"
"Hey? Director Zheng?!"
Suppressed by the famous conductor's aura, Lu Wenyuan finally became obedient. He sat like a primary school student with his hands on his legs, looking very straight.
It was not until this time that he finally took a look at the entire screening venue and was stunned.
It's full?!
Why is Bai Youlou still so popular in Cannes?
And Bai Youlou naturally wouldn't answer his questions or solve his doubts.
Don't ask, the answer is that it cost money.
We spent so much money and put so many brochures on the program. You know, there was a media screening before the official screening.
Some film critics and media have already seen the movie in advance.
Then the money brought by Bai Youlou and Lao Zhou will be put to good use.
The two were so stingy that they couldn't even afford to stay in a hotel near the Film Palace, but they were willing to spend money on this.
The two million extorted from Zhen Dongjun played its due role.
Is Bai Youlou famous in Cannes?
There wasn't any originally, but now there is a little bit.
The main relationship between him and the audience here is: We have no fate, it's all thanks to me spending money.
Lu Wenyuan, who didn't know the truth, became a little angry and originally wanted to leave after a while.
But now, he wanted to see what Bai Youlou had filmed!
