After the car is done, there will be a long wait, let alone two months.

A few days later, Yang Meng, who was far away in Xiangjiang, called Lin Weimin again, saying that a French publishing company had contacted their company and asked Yang Meng if he could contact the author of the original novel of the movie "Lover".

Since "Lover" participated in the Cannes Film Festival in May this year and won two awards, the film has been exported to more than 30 countries around the world, making Yang Meng and her Jade Bird Company a lot of money.

"Lover" was released in local French theaters in late May and received very good reviews from both audience and film critics.

The film itself has many French elements, with French actors participating, and the tone and style of the story are in line with French values ​​and appreciation.

So not only is it excellent in terms of reputation, but it also reflects even better at the box office.

In the 1980s, Hollywood had not yet conquered cities all over the world, especially in Europe, where economic strength and cultural strength were side by side, the film industry was flourishing, and literary and artistic films could also achieve good box office results.

In France alone, "Lover" received more than 2 million box office tickets.

Before 2000, France calculated box office based on the number of moviegoers.

"Lover" has the three elements of being a foreign film, a low-budget film, and a literary film, so it is not easy to achieve such box office results.

However, such box office results have nothing to do with Yang Meng and Lin Weimin. The film's distribution rights in France had already been sold to a French film distribution company when they participated in the film festival, and it was a one-time deal.

In the opening credits of the movie, the words "Adapted from Lin Weimin's novel "Lover"" must be translated according to the contract, no matter which country holds the copyright.

Some time ago, "The Lover" was completely screened in French theaters.

Literary movies with millions of moviegoers have great influence. The characteristics of the audience of literary movies are die-hard fans. While these people like movies, most people also like literature.

A publishing house noticed this movie adapted from the novel of the same name and approached the production company Bluebird.

"So they want to publish the novel?"

"Yes. I just gave them your contact information and address. I think someone will contact you in two days. Please pay attention."

"Okay, thank you very much, Ms. Yang."

Two or three days after Yang Meng's call, Lin Weimin first received a call from France, and a few days later, he met someone from Gallimard Publishing House, which was going to publish "The Lover" this time.
