Qiqi had been sleeping in the room at noon, so she was very excited at night. She was very dishonest in the quilt, which made Zhao Hong uncomfortable.

In the end, there was really no choice but to give her an injection, and now she lay in Zhao Hong's arms and slept.

After some operations, Zhao Hong was really confused. He thought of the person he met today. This person will be the future chairman of the Cannes Film Festival. He is Gilles Jacob.

He has served as the film selection director of the Cannes Film Festival since 1980. He is fully responsible for the film selection and has the final say on the shortlisted films for each unit.

Therefore, he was the first person Jiang Zhiqiang introduced to him today. Zhao Hong knew that he was a great person, and he would train a number of world-class directors during his later term as Cannes chairman.

While at the helm of the Cannes Film Festival, Jacobs focused his efforts on discovering world-class directors.

Angelopoulos of Greece, Quentin Tarantino of the United States, Jane Campion of Australia, Hou Hsiao-hsien of China, and Abbas of Iran have all benefited from his talents.

It can be said that he dedicated his whole life to Cannes, and Cannes should also become the most dazzling jewel among the three major European film festivals for his efforts. He provided a fairer platform for filmmakers around the world and gave the third

It is an opportunity for filmmakers from all over the world to express themselves, and he has made a great contribution to Chinese-language films.

This time, some of the ideas of the chairman of the jury, Sidney Pollack, were conveyed to him. He looks to be in his fifties, but has bright eyes and a very friendly manner.

He was very happy to see Zhao Hong. After the exchange, the two people felt a sense of mutual sympathy. He bluntly said why he didn't meet Zhao Hong earlier.

Zhao Hong feels that this old man is very interesting. He speaks very honestly, without the high-mindedness or pretentiousness of ordinary filmmakers. He likes to laugh when talking, and he conveys some of his ideas without even realizing it.

Not obtrusive.

It can be said that he is very good at dealing with people and sophistication, but it is inevitable that some French people are proud, and a proud Gallic chicken can't go wrong.

The French have a romantic sentiment. They have been a major country in the world in modern times and have been glorious in the past, so they have a somewhat contemptuous attitude towards them.

Of course, this is when facing strangers, and most people can't feel it. Only people with careful observation like Zhao Hong will find it, and it feels like this kind of pride is engraved in their bones.

Of course, after getting to know each other, he will not hesitate to communicate with you with a harmonious smile.

Jacob felt that the young man from Xiangjiang had great ideas. During the communication process, he talked eloquently, and many of his ideas on movies were consistent with his own.

He felt as if he had met a confidant. He had also watched Zhao Hong's movies. He felt that they were all very good, especially the handling of details, but the artistry was just a little bit behind.

This time he heard through some channels that Zhao Hong was going to make an art film, so he strongly suggested to the jury chairman Sidney Pollack that Zhao Hong's film should participate in the film festival.

Another thing to say is that he also likes Zhao Hong's novels, especially "Life of Pi", "The Butterfly Effect" and "The Bridge of Lost Dreams" are all novels he likes very much.

There is also a relatively national novel "Farewell My Concubine" which is also one of his favorite novels. You must know that Zhao Hong is quite famous in Europe.

In terms of novels alone, he has won many awards here, including the British Booker Prize, the German National Book Award and 6 international awards. These awards were all announced last year, and there were invitations this year, but many Pheasant Awards were rejected.

.

With the publication of novels one after another, Zhao Hong's reputation in Europe is quite good. Besides, many of DreamWorks' products are now selling well in Europe. At this time, the author of several comics is Hongye, so his pen name is also popular in Europe.

This side is familiar to the public.

And Zhao Hong's movies are not without any influence this year. His movies are also very popular here, and the video tapes of his old movies are very popular here.

Besides, "The Butterfly Effect" released last year opened the eyes of many European filmmakers, and now many people are following this movie.

It is conservatively estimated that in the past year or so, there have been at least dozens of movies about the Butterfly Effect, and even more TV series have cited it. It can be said that this single movie has made Zhao Hong famous internationally.

He is not a newbie in the world, he is a young and promising director, especially his influence in Asia is terrifying.

This is why Jacob strongly recommended that his film be included in the film festival, and it was also selected as the opening film of the film festival. He did not watch this film.

He told Zhao Hong that he must come to see it first tomorrow.

Zhao Hong was thinking back on every detail of her meeting with Jacob. She really didn't expect that she would have such a great influence after the European Conference. She really only heard about him but never saw him. It was him she was talking about.

The main reason is that he is very low-key. If he often attends many banquets, award ceremonies, symposiums, schools, etc. and is invited, his reputation will rise to a higher level.

It's just that Zhao Hong doesn't want to do this. He doesn't attach much importance to his reputation. Now he writes novels and makes movies mainly for his own interests. As long as he sees book fans and movie fans smiling happily when they see his works, he will

Feel satisfied.

As for money, is he short of money?

Besides, as long as you do things well, fame and fortune will come instantly.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be a handsome man quietly?

Besides, if he wants to make money, DreamWorks Group may have to more than double it. The entire group should not be too simple in finding a good project, but he doesn't interfere too much.

Take comics as an example, can't he come up with a few more good ideas? Of course it's feasible.

But what’s the point?

It's just a little more numbers on his account, nothing surprising. Besides, he still likes the comic team to create wonderful stories.

This is also the reason why he has stepped up efforts to cultivate talents. If he is not allowed to do so, he will have to think of ideas or provide creative ideas for everything. I think such a company will not last long.

The time of my rebirth was only a few decades ahead of schedule. Even at the point when I traveled through the original time and space, I was only in my fifties or sixties at that time.

Since I have boxing skills, I have to live for at least one hundred and twenty years. By then, I will not be halfway through my life yet?

Of course, the system itself will never become outdated. Even with one’s own directing skills, one can produce a good film even with an original script, but one company cannot.

Without the ability to innovate, a company is close to bankruptcy.

Zhao Hong fell into a deep sleep amid random thoughts. When he got up the next day, it was six o'clock in the morning. After doing some exercise, he woke Qiqi up.

After the two had breakfast in the hotel, Qiqi felt a little tired, so Zhao Hong asked her to rest in the hotel while he and Jiang Xhiqiang headed towards the film festival.

When Zhao Hong and the others arrived, they had already seen people arriving in twos and threes. He felt that they arrived a bit early, mainly because the film festival opened at eight o'clock.

Both Zhao Hong and Jiang Zhiqiang felt it was a bit early, but it was impossible to go back.

Zhao Hong felt bored and casually greeted some strange filmmakers. This surprised those people, but they all exchanged a few words with him politely.

At this time, the advantage of the Prophecy Emperor came to light. Zhao Hong himself was chatting enthusiastically with some people, but Jiang Zhiqiang just followed Zhao Hong blankly. This made him determined to learn more foreign languages ​​after he made up his mind.

Not long after, Zhao Hong saw Jacob and he came up to say hello to him. The two of them continued talking about the topic they had not finished talking about yesterday. The old man was an angry young man and was not interested in Hollywood conventions.
