Hollywood legendary director

Luc Besson is very proud.

The "Bad Guy" cocktail party was held, directly at a cost of 700,000 euros, to cover the backyard banquet hall of the majestic Barrier Hotel.

The number of invitations is also quite large, and the list is close to more than 300 people.

The banquet mode is the simplest buffet, with exquisite pastries and food on the long tables on the left, and salons on the right, separated by bead curtains.

Soothing light music was played on the scene, and the people who came and went were communicating with each other; in the orderly scene, the waiter walked around the crowd with a plate of wine and provided service.

"Hi, Director Lehmann, Mr. Luc Besson."

Not long after the banquet began, Luc Besson took him to greet a group of jury members, and then more people came to them.

Especially film producers from all over the world are more enthusiastic.

A group of people circled them in the salon area.

"Lyman, this is Park Soo Hyun, from South Korea, this is Griman Terry, from Chile, this is Said Ali Mohamed, from Kuwait..." Song first introduced.

Lehman smiled and shook hands with these people one by one.

Earlier, Luc Besson told him that in addition to taking him to get to know some contacts, tonight, their task is to sell movies.

Uh, how do you feel something is wrong.Selling films?

Regardless of this, perhaps you have also discovered that none of the people just introduced has a regularized and prosperous film market in a country, so naturally, Europa Pictures' distribution channels cannot be established.

In fact, even if it can be established, it is thankless.

After all, the film market in these countries and regions is limited, and it is not very effective to waste manpower and material resources to establish offices.

Therefore, most film makers use similar exchange cocktail parties to sell all the distribution rights at once.

This is why so many film festivals such as Cannes, Berlin and later generations flourish.

They need a place for them to trade.

"Director Lehman, your last film was impressive, and the response was particularly good with us. I hope I can still work with you this time." Said Ali Muhammad from Kuwait said Speaking in English in characteristic areas.

"Thank you." Lyman said politely.

But this matter is not in his control, he just came over and stood there.

The marketing staff of Europa Films on the side heard this and took them to discuss the details of selling the film in more detail.

"Everyone, let's get out of business. There are also guests over there who need us to entertain." Luc Besson saw that everyone was willing and related matters needed to be wrangling. He also brought Lehman back outside. Here, someone naturally arranged it.

......

Halfway through the reception, Lehmann followed Luc Besson closely with his glass, leading him to make friends with industry practitioners one after another.

After finally coping with another round, Lehman also hurriedly left.

Luc Besson didn't say anything, he only cared about him, and then went on friendship.

Looking at the court, Ryan and Thomas stood together and didn’t know what they were talking about; Wen Ziren followed a group of Australian filmmakers talking eagerly; Eva Green sat in a lounge chair, Enjoying the sea view.There is a sandy beach not far from the back of the banquet hall. The lights are shining at night and it is really beautiful.

Lyman walked towards Ryan and suddenly saw Lou Ye, with Zhang Ziyi next to him.

Oh, yes, he was also shortlisted for the main unit of the competition this year. The movie is called "Purple Butterfly" and the international chapter starring next to him.

Lehman is quite interested in them.

Seeing this, he brought a glass of champagne from the passing waiter, walked over and greeted them with a smile.

"Director Lou, hello."

Lou Ye was walking in, suddenly a ghost with chestnut hair and blue eyes smiled at him, and he stopped subconsciously.

The international stamp next to him reminded him that the person on the opposite side was greeting him.

"Hello, hello..."

Director Lou still knows simple daily oral English.

"Congratulations on your film being shortlisted for the competition."

"Thinkyou..."

The two chatted casually, and Lyman took the initiative to resign.

He is not particularly interested in Lou Ye, but in the international chapter next to him.

After all, this kind of sixth-generation director who always shoots sensitive subjects and claims to expose the true outlook of China is really not in his eyes.

However, the young Zhang Niangniang is rarely seen.Not to mention anything else, looking from a distance, the temperament is fairly gentle.

I don't know if it is an illusion.

......

"Hey, what are you two talking about?"

After parting with the International Chapter, seeing Ryan and Thomas chatting eagerly, they also asked.

"Did you see that person?" Ryan said with his arms around Lyman, pointing to a corner of the banquet hall.

Lyman looked down and noticed a woman leaning on the railing alone.

The slightly curly dark brown hair was scattered, and a light blue dress could not hide the exquisite figure.

"Who is that?" Lehman asked suspiciously.

"Sophie Marceau." Thomas answered this time.

Oh, it turned out to be her, no wonder these two people have been discussing.

Regarding who is the goddess in the hearts of the French people, Sophie Marceau is a candidate who will never escape.

"Is it really her?"

"Of course, I saw the front face. I can't read it wrong." Ryan said with a positive face.

"You want to strike up a conversation?" Lehman raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I just tried it." Ryan said happily.

Well, this looks like a failure.

Lehman was about to say something, Ryan asked, "Are you interested in her?"

"Well, I have always been very fond of her."

......

Lehman said this is true. It is different from the French people’s impression of her that was created by her on screen characters. Lehman’s original intention was just hormonal impulse when he was young. A distinctive film.

For this reason, he also went to find a DVD to buy and collect.

People are always superficial, not to mention that in previous lives, there were no channels for attention and understanding of foreign actors.

The only way is to secretly hide the video discs in those beautiful youth years.

Eva Green, Monica Bellucci, Sophie Marceau... such names, he can say a lot.

It is also the object of fantasy when the hormones of adolescence are nowhere to be released.

Male compatriots, it is easy to be manipulated by the lower body.

They relied on the classic roles played during adolescence to fill us with that period of hormonal flying.

Adolescence will pass soon, but the memory of youth will become more and more profound along with growth.

In those years of ignorance and high desire, the impression of the goddess stayed in the heart, and it naturally brought good feelings.

What's more, she is really beautiful.

It also proves to us that things like aesthetic differences can be defeated in the face of true beauty.

At this point, French men and Chinese men reached a united front for the first time.

Cheers to Yan control.

......

The three of them chatted, which is a topic for men.

But someone interrupted their conversation.

"Hey, Lyman, I have something to look for you."

George is talking.

He was just one of the candidates responsible for selling the film.

"what's up?"

"follow me."

George took Lyman to the salon area, and while walking, he also reported the record of selling movies just now.

"You can't imagine what happened to me just now?"

"What?" Lyman asked in cooperation.

"Kuwait sold 250,000 euros, Lizhi sold 270,000 euros, South Korea..." George looked very pleased. "A total of more than 4.3 million euros of copyright distribution fees have been sold. ."

"so much?"

"Of course." George took a look at Lehman and explained: "South Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East have many small countries, and their local film industry is very weak. They are not willing to spend money to make movies. For them, It’s also a very cost-effective business to buy the regional distribution rights for movies with a small amount of money."

This is indeed the case. The domestic film is in a recession. Compared with the effort to reclaim the wasteland, it is better to go shopping for movies around the world. Anyway, it is not very expensive to buy out the screening rights in a certain area, and it is easy to get good profits income.

Of course, those popular movie markets probably have nothing to talk about, just like the United States has always been exclusive, and different distribution strategies require the right medicine.

"Awesome," Lehman said with emotion.

It seems that the saying that Shuye specializes in it is right. Compared with those who sell films professionally, he is really suitable to be a director.

However, if you think about it in this way, Europa Pictures will be able to get back some of it by relying on export copyright.

It can only be said that he needs to know a lot about the issue of film distribution.

"Then why are you looking for me."

"Some film dealers want to see you, and Luc Besson helped you promote the film's reputation. Those people also need to meet."

No way, after all, I have participated in Cannes, so I have to make some achievements.

Europa Pictures is quite concerned about this, not only came over a few days in advance, but also kept meeting with many judges to establish relations.

It is estimated that only waiting for the premiere of tomorrow's film, it will directly start large-scale operations and build momentum.

After all, after the screening, can we achieve good results?It's always good to do it this way.

"Hello there......"

"Thank you......"

"Okay, cheers..."

For a round of entertainment that could not be avoided, Lyman had to pretend to be enthusiastic and hypocritical.

After pushing the cup and changing the cup, the group of people drank happily after three rounds of wine.

It was getting late, and the reception was coming to an end.

Lehman went to the toilet on the excuse and left the circle of "businessmen".

Looking around, the number of people in the banquet hall in the backyard is sparse.

But the familiar figure still did not leave.

She was still leaning on the railing quietly, not knowing what kind of scenery she was enjoying.

Maybe it's wine and courage. He has never seen each other before, but Lyman walked over there...
