Chapter 42 I’m so ashamed
May 13th finally ushered in the opening of the Cannes Film Festival, and the whole Cannes suddenly became excited.
A certain couple went crazy these days and even went to Marseille for a day of fun. Fortunately, they didn't forget the opening ceremony and showed up on the red carpet in time today.
"Liar, why don't you rent a car? Do you want me to carry my skirt and walk such a long way?"
"It's too expensive to rent a luxury car, so why don't we really take a taxi? We are the people of the motherland, and we must not lose our status in front of foreigners."
"Go, don't I know you? You are just a stingy person."
"Haha. Being diligent and thrifty is the virtue of our Chinese nation."
"Do you still have virtue? Who spent more than a thousand dollars to go on a yacht? That's more than a thousand dollars!"
"Isn't that an island tour? And that, that...this...?"
"Rong Guang, I'm suing you, if you dare to mention that place again, I'm not done with you!"
"Quanquan, that's called celestial bathing! Why are your thoughts so messed up? You should give up your restraints and embrace nature! Hahaha... Okay! I surrender. Hahaha!"
Glancing at Yuan Quan's pair of a's, Rong Guang quickly introduced some rules for walking on the red carpet before she noticed: "You will follow me later. Be careful not to stand for too long, and give it to those behind you.
The crew of the main competition unit. Also, you are responsible for being as beautiful as a flower. I will prepare photos, promotional materials, etc. for you. After you return to China, find a better agent and he will help you buy the space.
."
"Buy layout?" Yuan Quan heard another new term.
"It means buying a page with a big color photo for you in the newspaper."
"You can buy these? Is that a national newspaper?" Yuan Quan opened his innocent eyes wide.
"..." Rong Guang squinted his eyes. This silly girl can already give up on treatment.
It happened to be their turn at this time. Under the signal of the staff, the two held hands and walked towards the red carpet with a smile.
After walking a few steps, Rong Guang suddenly discovered that a reporter was gesturing to him, and the camera lens was already pointed here. Rong Guang quickly hugged Yuan Quan's waist and quietly made a hint with his hand. Yuan Quan understood, and the two of them immediately faced each other.
The camera, struck a pose.
While smiling, Rong Guang secretly gave the little French man from LV a thumbs up. This is what was agreed in the agreement. LV will be responsible for taking photos of Rong Guang and Yuan Quan, and will also provide them with negatives to choose from. Of course, LV also owns these.
Photo usage rights.
After taking photos, walk on the red carpet and sign in.
It is impossible for the media and fans present to know Rong Guang and Yuan Quan. Moreover, in this era, mainland media rarely appear in Cannes. Not to mention, there are no famous mainland films participating in the exhibition this year, and maybe not even a mainland reporter
None!
I really miss the Cannes red carpet in the future. There are endless monsters and monsters, but at least it is quite lively.
Thinking of himself bravely going to Cannes alone, Rong Guang lamented in his heart: "Heroes are lonely!"
With sighs, the two continued walking on the red carpet. However, after walking a few steps, Rong Guang couldn't help but be startled, and another reporter actually raised his hand?
pretty good.
The two stopped and struck a pose again...
After walking a few more steps, I found a reporter waving, and Rong Guang felt a little strange. But this is not the place to answer questions.
Nothing to say, just keep posing...
Immediately afterwards, the entire press corps seemed to be in a commotion, with various media outlets shouting and signaling. In an instant, the first round of red carpet climax actually started?
(⊙.⊙)(⊙.⊙)
After being shocked, Yuan Quan was almost ecstatic: "I didn't expect us to be so popular!"
Rong Guang was confused: "Did they admit the wrong person?"
Seeing the reporters getting more and more excited, Rong Guang shook his head helplessly. Anyway, it was already like this, so he hugged Yuan Quan and continued to pose...
…
Rong Guang and Yuan Quan didn't know how popular the news of "30,000 US dollars for 3 million US dollars" was. After several days of fermentation, the entire film festival almost went crazy.
In fact, Rong Guang was inspired to come up with such a publicity method after experiencing the baptism of the future - the era of crazy hype without any lower limit.
But for the same reason, the baptism had already made my whole body numb. Compared with the various unlimited and shocking things in the future, Rong Guang didn’t think there was anything special about such publicity?
He never expected that in this era, such propaganda methods would cause such a big stir!
Rong Guang was confused and finally led Yuan Quan to the end of the red carpet. Unexpectedly, there were official reporters waiting at the end of the red carpet.
"Director Rong, welcome to the Cannes Film Festival."
"Well, it's my pleasure."
"We have a question that we are very curious about. Did you really complete the filming with only 30,000 US dollars?"
"It's a little off, it's a little more than 30,000 US dollars. But there are many friends who are helping out. Including Ms. Yuanquan next to me, and many other colleagues and seniors. For example, in the last shot, those passers-by acted, it's our domestic
A famous actor in a very famous drama group."
Rong Guang also wanted to talk about the spirit of the contract. He agreed with Harvey Weinstein on US$30,000, so it was US$30,000. Anyway, he was right. In the end, he used the remaining 170,000 soft girl coins to complete the deal, which was more or less
30,000 US dollars. As for the 268,000 US dollars spent earlier? Do you understand the rounding?
However, such a number is indeed too exaggerated. In order to plug the loopholes, let’s push everything to the friendly help of friends!
"So you ended up selling it for $3 million? Is that true?"
"Our contract has been registered with the organizing committee. You can definitely check it. Thank you!"
"Then let me ask you, Director Rong, do you think this film is worth such a high price?"
"Haha. Our film will be screened at the film festival. You are welcome to come and watch it."
"I definitely will. Thank you! And I wish you a nice stay at the festival."
"Thanks!"
Rong Guang almost guessed the reason for the reporters' sudden excitement.
"What a bunch of strange and stupid people!" Rong Guang finally felt relieved.
It’s just hype anyway. As long as you don’t feel ashamed, then others will be ashamed!
Rong Guang was secretly proud when he suddenly felt Yuan Quan pulling him: "Wow! Who do you think is here? Those are Liang Chaowei, Liu Jialing, and Li Jiaxin. They are all big stars in Hong Kong! Wow wow!"
Rong Guang looked back and saw at a glance a short old man with southern Fujian appearance - Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-hsien.
After searching the film library in his mind, Rong Guang recalled that such a combination should be the crew of "Flowers of the Sea". Unexpectedly, they also participated in this year's Cannes Film Festival. With tears in his eyes, he was finally not the only one in Chinese films.
.
"Wow! Liar." Yuan Quan almost jumped with excitement, "Can you wait for them? I want their autographs!"
Chapter completed!
