The Liar Who Invaded the Entertainment Industry
Chapter 679: Cat and dog fight
One week after the opening of the Cannes Film Festival, all the excitement and noise during the period have nothing to do with cute people and Mai Xiaoyu.
Moe Ren has no works to participate in the competition, and no artists come to rub the red carpet, and Mai Xiaoyu also brings works to Cannes as a "black house".
The Chinese film troupe going to Cannes is not as quiet as the cute people. Film premieres, cocktail parties, parties, XX nights, etc., almost all Chinese filmmakers can be seen on various red carpets every day, and Chinese-language films have also been in the projection hall of Lumiere Palace many times. Released.
Tonight, at various receptions, dinners, parties, grand ceremonies, XX nights and other social events, people suddenly discovered that the Chinese filmmakers were suddenly less visible...
May 22, night.
Mbiwa Bar.
At Christine's strong request, Martin had to come to the bar with her early.
The vocals in the bar and the laser flashing music are explosive.
The two were surprised to find that they had arrived not too early. It was only after eight o'clock in the evening. Many people had gathered in the bar, most of them Chinese.
"Oh, is this place occupied by Chinese people?" Martin asked pretendingly in surprise.
"Martin, don't you know that Mai is their compatriot, they are here for Mai's movie. Stop talking strange things, I think we should find a place first."
The location is not easy to find, the deck is full, even the side cards are full, only the scattered table and the high table next to the bar are left.
Since there are obviously more people coming to the bar tonight than in the past, the scattered stations have become popular.
It was so easy for Kristen and Martin to find a suitable stand for watching movies. They sat down, drank juice, wine, ate fruit plates and nuts, and chatted while waiting for the movie to be played.
Martin drank the wine and looked around, and recognized several Chinese filmmakers from among the many Eastern faces.
He saw these people at the reception party a few days ago. They seemed to be more famous, but they also appeared in the bar. He couldn't help but wondered: "When did the Chinese people become so united? Is the theme of tonight Chinese? Night?"
"Maybe this is Mai's charm, look over there again."
Looking in the direction indicated by Christine, Martin recognized some European and American filmmakers.
There are some less well-known actors, singers, and football stars, or they are partying on the dance floor or drinking a toast. It seems that they are simply going to clubbing; but Martin recognizes other people: some European and American small and medium film companies, The middle management of the distributor is probably for the movie.
"It seems that I need to take back my words, the energy of that Chinese man is not small."
"You believe me now? You see, he hasn't come, so many people have come for him..."
Mai Xiaoyu's face is not that big, it is really because Christine and Martin think too much.
In the Chinese entertainment industry, Mengren has been in a stand-alone state for a long time. How could so many domestic counterparts come to join us?
They came to the bar tonight for the same purpose as Christine and Martin. They mainly wanted to see the behavior of this sci-fi movie with an investment of 20,000 US dollars.
Although they are generally not optimistic about this movie, but the golden sign of Mengren is too shining in China.
If the movie is successful tonight, they can also be regarded as an eye-opener. They can analyze the selling points of the movie at the first time, find ways to learn from, and copy the elements of success. The defeat of the golden body is worth the fare.
As for the middle-level managers of small and medium-sized film companies and distributors in Europe and the United States...During the Cannes Film Festival, they would come to the bar to watch movies almost every night, waiting to find out.
Of course, you can pay more attention to Mengren's movies.
In the past few years, Moe Ren's "Fatal ID" has an overseas box office of more than 80 million. This result can only be considered upper-middle, but for small and medium-sized distributors, the price-performance ratio is very high. Therefore, the middle-level management staff of small and medium film companies and distributors who came to the bar tonight are a little bit more than the previous nights.
In addition to these two reasons, there are other factors. For example, there were six or seven people sitting in the deck where Ye Chu was located, and other decks were scattered, and there were a lot of new faces. As a result, the number of people in the bar increased sharply after eight o'clock in the evening, which was obviously more than before.
Ye Chu has been here for almost half an hour. He wanted to talk to Mai Xiaoyu and ask him about his plan tonight. But he turned around and asked his old classmate Mbiwa again, and finally he was sure that Mai Xiaoyu hadn't appeared yet.
Does this mean that he is confident?
Ye Chu is not sure about Mai Xiaoyu's confidence. What he can be sure of is that the bar business is so good tonight.
He went to chat with Mbiwa just now, and he heard the bar staff confessing to Mbiwa, saying that there is a lot of business tonight, and it is recommended to have more drinks.
But... Mbiwa doesn't seem to be very interested, and he doesn't agree to drink more. Why is that?
...
The movie show time in the bar is 11 o'clock every night.
The night is getting deeper, and as time goes by, there are more and more guests in the bar.
It was almost half past ten in the evening, when Xue Xiaoning left a party early and came to the bar, he got the answer from the bar-full, please line up.
I'll go, should business be so good?
Xue Xiaoning turned his head to look, isn't it?
There was a long line at the entrance of the bar, at least twenty people, all foreigners, and sturdy male foreigners with tattoos.
Some foreigners looked around her, and some people even whistled at her. The sound of the whistle matched that look, which was indescribable.
Da Fei's face turned dark, and he was about to lead someone to teach him, but Xue Xiaoning stopped him.
This is Cannes, now the Cannes Film Festival.
Her bodyguard clashed with the foreigner, even if the other party was rude first, it would be her who caused the trouble, because she was a star.
Xue Xiaoning stopped Dafei and asked, "You didn't make a reservation in advance?"
Booked it!
Before Da Fei retired from the army, he was serving regiment-level leaders. How could this kind of trivial matter be negligent.
He asked him to protect Xue Xiaoning. He went to the receptionist Tom at the entrance of the bar and asked in English: "We booked a place yesterday."
Tom said blankly: "Sorry, there are too many guests today and the reservation is invalid."
"How can you do this business, do you have any credibility?"
Tom gave him an idiotic look directly.
At this time, Mai Xiaoyu took Ke Haoyi and strolled out from the other side: "Tom, how is business in the bar tonight?"
"Full of guests!" Tom answered and greeted him quickly. "Mr. Mai, you are here. According to your request, we have reserved a side card for you. Your friend has arrived."
What's happening here!
Furious, he took a few steps and grabbed Tom: "Didn't you say that it is full? Our reservation is invalid. Why do you reserve it for him?"
"Hey, I warn you, you'd better let go quickly, otherwise I will blow your head!"
Mai Xiaoyu walked over and patted Dafei's arm: "Friend, if you have something to say, don't do it."
"Brother Fei, don't do it." Xue Xiaoning walked over, surrounded by five or six bodyguards and attendants, and looked at Mai Xiaoyu with interest, "Mr. Mai, what a coincidence."
"It's you, it's so beautiful tonight. Why don't you go in?"
"Thank you for the compliment, I'm late and there is no place in the bar."
"You are lucky and met me. I don't know if the beautiful young lady is willing to give a reward and go in with me for a drink?" Mai Xiaoyu walked up to Xue Xiaoning and stretched out his arm.
Xue Xiaoning smiled and took his arm: "Okay, I am looking forward to tonight's movie."
Da Fei wanted to stop, but was interrupted by Tom: "If it weren't for Mr. Mai's face, I would knock all your teeth out tonight."
"Okay, Tom, they are all friends. Take this, and soothe your angry heart."
Mai Xiaoyu put out one hundred euros, and Tom happily took it: "Mr. Mai, you are the most generous guest I have ever seen."
Tom accompanied Mai Xiaoyu and his party to the door of the bar. Mai Xiaoyu suddenly stopped and looked at the crowd at the door.
In the crowd, six or seven foreigners stared at him, looking bad.
Mai Xiaoyu smiled and waved at them: "See you in the bar later."
"Humph!"
"Humph!"
There were several angry snorts from the crowd.
Mai Xiaoyu smiled in his heart: It seems that Ning Shirong did not disappoint me!
Xue Xiaoning was puzzled, but the good tutoring made her suppress the curiosity in her heart. Without asking, she took Mai Xiaoyu's arm and walked into the bar together.
As Tom said, the bar is really full and overcrowded!
As soon as I walked in, a heat wave mingled with music, wine, and perfume scents, and along the way, under the stimulation of alcohol, men and women leaned against the wall and kissed wildly.
When Tom accompanied Mai Xiaoyu and the others to Bianca, there were already two people sitting inside, and there was a lot of wine on the table.
Shi Hao and his assistant.
"Mr. Mai, you are here."
"Sorry President Shi, I'm late. Let me introduce you, this Xue Xiaoning, this President Shi from Hualong Pictures."
A strange look flashed in Shi Hao's eyes, and he smiled and greeted Xue Xiaoning with a handshake, and the two sides knew each other.
Xue Xiaoning's entourage was a bit too large, and Bianka was a bit small and couldn't sit down, so Dafei had to let two or three entourage guard the door of Bianka.
When everyone was seated, Tom brought drinks again, and the table was full.
Mai Xiaoyu asked, "Where is Mbiwa?"
"He said he didn't want to see you until the movie ended."
"Hahaha!"
Amidst Mai Xiaoyu's laughter, Tom said goodbye and left.
Xue Xiaoning asked, "Mr. Mai, do you still know French?"
"Understand a little bit."
Shi Hao was also a little surprised, but he was more concerned about how Mai Xiaoyu planned to hype "This Man From Earth" tonight.
But Xue Xiaoning is by his side, so he can't ask.
On the contrary, Xue Xiaoning took the initiative to shift the topic to the film.
After having a drink with Mai Xiaoyu, she suggested that this side card was too biased, and the viewing effect was not good after the movie was shown.
"Miss, this position is very good." Da Fei said first.
The location is really good.
Side card side card, side card holder.
Located in the corner of the bar, one side is adjacent to the aisle, and the other side is the side card next door. There are several men and women sitting there, and they don't seem threatening.
In case of a fight, you only need to temporarily block the frontal incoming enemy, and he can **** Xue Xiaoning away in the shortest time.
Will it fight?
The meaning of what Mr. Han said on the phone last night was already obvious; and when he entered the door just now, he also found that the foreigners staring at Mai Xiaoyu among the crowd in line at the bar were hostile.
If possible, he even hoped that Xue Xiaoning would not sit with Mai Xiaoyu, so as not to get caught in a fight.
The veteran driver has rich experience, not only from the Han family, but also from the Ye family.
When Ye Chu saw Mai Xiaoyu and Xue Xiaoning coming in together and wanted to say hello in the past, he was stopped by his bodyguard.
"Young Master Chu, President Ye has specifically confessed that you can't meet President Mai tonight."
"why?"
"For your safety."
"Do you think too much? I came to the bar to watch a movie, and you brought so many people to follow me; I used to say hello to my friends and said it was dangerous... This is Cannes, now it is the Cannes Film Festival!"
"Young Master Chu, we also listened to orders. I turned around before, and some of the guests were not at the right number..."
...
At the bar tonight, some guests were wrong.
If Ye Chu's bodyguard is suspicious, then the bar staff is affirmative.
"Boss, it doesn't seem to be right tonight. I saw Joseph the Wildcat and his friends. They have never been to our bar before."
"Maybe our bar is too famous now, who knows?"
"But I also saw Mad Dog Bill and his friends..."
"Who are you talking about?"
"Bill the mad dog!"
Joseph the Wildcat and Bill the Mad Dog are the leaders of two groups of local young people in Cannes. They are natives of Cannes. They often bully foreigners who come to Cannes to visit, and make money through illegal means such as kidnapping, kidnapping, and stealing.
But they never bully the locals in Cannes, so the locals don't hate them. There is only one exception-the two meet.
Joseph and Bill were at odds and couldn't understand each other, as you can see from their nicknames.
Usually in Cannes, the two groups have divided their spheres of influence, and the other party is not allowed to step in half a step. If anyone dares to trample on the scope of others, or if two people meet, it is often accompanied by a fierce conflict.
The Cannes Police Department has a headache for this, but there is no alternative.
Tonight, the two will gather in Mbiwa’s bar, can there be anything else?
"!" Mbiwa cursed bitterly in French, "Go and tell guys, if those two lunatics fight, they will hide away..."
...
At eleven o'clock in the evening, the movie was screened on time.
In this regard, the guests who come to the bar have long been used to it. If you like to watch, you can stay and order a glass of whiskey to watch a movie; if you don’t like it, you can also turn around and leave, go to another bar and continue to cheer~www.wuxiaspot.com~Bill, the movie begins. "
In a luxurious deck, Bill's men reminded.
Bill frowned, looked at Joseph in the seat in the distance, gritted his teeth and said: "Who can tell me why that Connard (silly beep) is here."
"What are you afraid of, let's kill him with the yellow-skinned monkey!"
"Idiot, when have I been afraid of him? But, we haven't all come in... Damn, why are there so many guests in the bar tonight!"
The men who went to investigate the situation came back with a bad news: "Bill, they seem to have more people than us."
"That's why I have to wait for all of our people to come in before I do it!"
This condition is easy to achieve.
Not everyone likes to watch movies in bars, and although "This Man Comes From Earth" is dressed in science fiction, the opening animation is very brilliant, and it cannot change its essence. It is a soft drama that advances and interprets in the form of pure dialogue. Science fiction.
Many guests come for science fiction movies, and science fiction in their eyes means lasers, battleships and metal.
However, after the movie started, they were greeted by the dull beginning, dull process...except dull or dull!
This makes it unacceptable for alcoholics whose body heat factor is still active.
One, two, three...More and more drinkers left the venue and moved to other bars. The full bar gradually became empty, and Bill's subordinates who were still in line finally came in!
"Bill, we're here."
"Boss, you can do it."
"Okay, let me assign a task..."
While Bill was assigning tasks to his subordinates, someone suddenly jumped out to get alive...
After a loud crash, Joseph the Wildcat shouted loudly: "What a dog **** movie, smash me!"
