Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 745 Harvey's Heresy

Draguignan, Provence, France.

As night fell, the town became sparsely populated.

The stone-paved path was washed by the afternoon rain. Under the illumination of the few street lamps, it was clean, dim, quiet, and had a hint of ancient artistic conception.

Hideki Hanyu, who had just said goodbye to Mr. Tolkien, was walking on the road in the town holding the hand of Christiana Yeri.

When the two passed a stone bridge under a street lamp, Hanyu Hideki suddenly seemed to remember something and laughed softly.

"what happened?"

Hearing Hideki Hanyu's laughter, Christiana Yeri asked curiously.

Hideki Hanyu stopped and looked at Christiana Yeri, looking at that beautiful face and said.

"Mr. Tolkien just told me that if I were to make a movie about The Lord of the Rings, I'd like you to play Arwen, the princess of the Noldor."

And just as Hideki Hanyu was speaking, Christiana Yeri happened to look at Hideki Hanyu.

At this time, Hideki Hanyu was leaning against a street lamp, and the orange-yellow light dotted a circle of outlines around him, and the surrounding area was shrouded in mist rising from the river surface.

Dreamy, hazy, beautiful...

Coupled with the man's already handsome appearance and handsome figure.

Let Christiana Yeri blurt out.

"In fact, you are more like an elf."

Hanyu Hideki smiled and said, "Really? It's a pity that in The Lord of the Rings, it was Aragorn, the Human King, who married Arwen. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind being your Elf Prince."

"I understand. Are you confessing to me?" Christiana Yeri asked playfully.

Hanyu Hideki reached out and gently stroked the beauty's face and said, "I thought I had already confessed my feelings."

After saying that, the scumbag didn't seem to want to go too deep into this topic, and immediately changed the subject, "Unfortunately, I have no plans to bring The Lord of the Rings to the screen for the time being, otherwise I would really consider inviting you to star in it."

Christiana Yeri, however, showed no interest and said, "Forget it. I'm busy enough with my current job."

"If I remember correctly, you wanted to be an actor at first."

Hanyu Hideki said as he held Christiana Yeri's hand again and walked towards the hotel where they were staying.

“Now I feel like it’s not bad to be behind the scenes.”

Christiana Yeri replied
After several films, with the support of Hideki Hanyu, Christiane Yerry has gradually become a senior executive of the French branch of Cloud Pictures. After tasting the power at the top, how could she give up everything and return to the bottom of the industry food chain?

Hanyu Hideki said, "As long as you like it."

"I like you better."

The beauty's sudden enthusiasm did not surprise Hideki Hanyu.

Because they had arrived at their residence.

Obviously, tonight's night in the small town is destined to be full of love and passion for the two of them, and it will not be too peaceful.

……

May 18th.

The Cannes International Film Festival on the French Riviera has kicked off.

As the most successful film festival in creating a commercial atmosphere among the three major European film festivals in later generations, Cannes today displays an extraordinary and bustling temperament.

Here you will find not only huge Hollywood movie posters, movie stars everywhere, but also film companies setting up booths for promotion.

There are also tourists from all over the world who come here to see the city, journalists who come here for news, and all kinds of other people.

Everything is telling everyone that a grand event has begun.

And on the water near the Cote d'Azur, a huge yacht had just left the dock.

In fact, to be more precise, it should be called a small cruise ship.

The ship is over 60 meters long and has three decks. It not only comes with a dedicated helicopter, but also has an infinity pool on the open platform on the top floor.

And this is what Hideki Hanyu has prepared for his visit to Cannes.

If things go as expected, we will even be resting on the yacht for many days.

And for this yacht, he needs to pay more than $200,000 a day.

Add to that the crew provided by the service company, as well as yacht waiters, chefs and other personnel, and the cost will increase significantly.

However, these monetary figures are meaningless to Hideki Hanyu.

As one of the richest men on the planet, he can enjoy anything without any scruples as long as it can be bought with money.

At 7pm, the Cannes Film Festival will host the opening ceremony of the festival at the Cannes Film Palace.

But before that, Hideki Hanyu entertained friends who came from afar on the yacht.

In the restaurant on the second floor, as the waiters placed various delicacies and drinks on the table, the lunch party organized by Hideki Hanyu officially began.

There were many guests, and their identities were also different.

A friend of Hideki Hanyu.

For example, Shinsuke Ito and his wife came from America to attend the Cannes International Film Festival with the crew of "Sex, Lies, and Videotape".

There are also subordinates in his company.

For example, the main leaders of Hollywood Cloud Pictures, Neon Cloud Cinema, Cloud Entertainment Asia Branch, and Cloud Pictures Europe Branch, which invested in and produced the films participating in the exhibition.

Of course, in addition to our own people, there are also some partners.

For example, the fat bearded boss of Miramax Films in Hollywood, Harvey Weinstein.

In his previous life, this guy brought "Cinema Paradiso" from Cannes to America this year, and won the 1990 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Although Hideki Hanyu is not very interested in intercepting the company, he is indeed very interested in cooperating with the other party to add some award-winning resume and film library to Yunshang Pictures.

After all, this time, the Europa Films in which he holds shares is the investor of "Cinema Paradiso", so Harvey has to go around him if he wants to get the agency rights.

At this time, Shinsuke Ito was chatting with Hideki Hanyu.

"Yoshioka-san was supposed to arrive today. Storm Advertising has also developed some advertising business at the Cannes Film Festival, but he said that something happened to the Singapore branch, so he will probably arrive a few days later."

Hanyu Hideki said, "It's okay, we can get together when he arrives. It's a pity that Asako-san can't come, otherwise the four of us would be together in France."

"Is Asako-san busy lately?" Ito Shinsuke asked curiously.

Since announcing his withdrawal from the management of Yunshang Entertainment, Shinsuke Ito has completely stopped caring about the group's affairs and devoted himself to his favorite movies, so he basically doesn't know what has happened to Yunshang Entertainment recently.

"Masatsugu Kobayashi is in the process of restructuring the Asian business, so she might be worried," Hanyu Hideki explained.

Actually, it was he who arranged this matter, so he was the one who gave the top management of the group a lot of things to do.

"Kobayashi Masatake's business ability is pretty good, there's nothing to worry about."

Ito Shinsuke does not have a strong desire to control the power in the company, so he often cannot understand Hirohashi Asako's actions.

But he also didn't care much about this matter, so after saying this, his eyes saw Benedetta who was talking to his wife Nana Okada not far away.

He decisively poked Hanyu Hideki with his arm and asked, "Why is Benedetta here?" When several people jointly established a power generation company, he was also one of the investors. Even Nana Okada helped in the restaurant for a while.

So naturally, the couple were no strangers to Benedetta.

Hanyu Hideki pointed to Christiana Yeri next to Benedetta and said, "Didn't I tell you last time in France that she is Yeri's aunt?"

Ito Shinsuke said, "I'm sure you didn't tell me."

Hanyu Hideki spread his hands and said, "Okay, now you know."

Ito Shinsuke hurriedly said, "If Yoshioka-san comes, we can't let them meet."

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

Hanyu Hideki thought, even if Yoshioka Shota wanted to, he didn't want to yet.

Even if no one knows it yet, it is already in his shape.

The two chatted for a while and then went their separate ways.

Shinsuke Ito went to see Oki Kurokawa, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, while Hideki Hanyu was entangled by Harvey who was holding a wine glass.

This guy is so domineering and arrogant when working in Hollywood that even the managers of the six major film companies criticize him and scold him whenever they want.

But when facing Hideki Hanyu, he showed the unique courtesy and hypocritical enthusiasm of the Jews, even a little bit of flattery.

After meeting and greeting each other, Xavi asked Hanyu Hideki mysteriously.

"How come there isn't a single pretty girl on Mr. Hanyu's yacht except for the waiters? If you need help, I can help you. After all, I've been to Cannes so many times and I know a lot of people."

How could Hideki Hanyu not understand what Harvey meant?

What is the saying about the Cannes International Film Festival in later generations?

All the beauties who can't walk on the red carpet in Cannes end up on the yachts of the rich.

As one of the most famous events in the world's entertainment industry, how can there be a lack of women looking for opportunities and wealth?

In fact, when Hideki Hanyu rented a yacht, the service company had already asked him if he had any needs for this kind of service.

The list provided by the service company includes not only well-known beautiful models from Europe and around the world, but even famous female celebrities.

There are many different ways to cooperate with them.

You can sign a contract for a certain number of days of filming, or simply charge by the hour, ranging from a few hundred dollars to several thousand.

As long as you agree, you can wait for the beauties to come to your door, whether it is on a yacht on the Cote d'Azur or in a casino in Monaco, they will meet all your requirements.

However, Hanyu Hideki refused.

The reason was the same as the one he told Harvey now.

"Harvey, I might not need your help this time."

Then he pointed to Christiane Yeri in the distance, "Because I came to Cannes with a female companion."

Xavi looked in the direction he was pointed, and the moment he saw Christiana Yeri, his eyes lit up, "What a beautiful lady, is she the actress you discovered in Europe?"

Hanyu Hideki introduced, "She is the head of the production department of Cloud Pictures Europe."

Harvey said with regret, "It's such a shame to be behind the scenes with such a look."

After saying that, this guy gave Hanyu Hideki a long lecture.

"Mr. Hanyu, people like us who have power and influence in the entertainment industry should discover and cultivate more beautiful and talented girls who have no background.

Although these girls have to pay something to express their gratitude, in my opinion, it is all worth it and it is a mutual agreement.

Because without people like us, this world would be a mess.

A girl without a background, even if she is beautiful and talented, cannot compete with those guys with connections and background.

Just think about how bad that situation is..."

Looking at Harvey who has a righteous look on his face.

Even though Hideki Hanyu knew that what this guy said was heresy, he somehow felt that there was some truth in it.

At least later, whether in Hollywood or other entertainment circles, the situation was just as Harvey said.

Most of the good opportunities have been snatched away by the second generation or those with backgrounds.

Even though everyone knows that these people have no talent and are not good-looking, they are still forced to feed shit by capital.

Of course, Harvey is just trying to flatter himself and find an excuse to comfort himself for his actions.

To this fat Jewish man, as long as there is something to gain, anything he has ever said is like fart.

This guy has a lot of women, but few of them give him a chance.

Finally, those who use it the most are not those who have connections.

After finding a reason to send away the chattering Harvey, Hideki Hanyu began to deal with other people who came to say hello.

After a while, seeing that everyone was chatting, Hanyu Hideki quietly left the restaurant and walked to the top deck to get some fresh air alone.

But he didn't stay there for long before he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Are you hiding here just to avoid talking to me?"

Along with the sound, Benedetta's figure appeared next to Hanyu Hideki.

Hanyu Hideki looked at the beauty beside him. He hadn't seen her for a while. The elegant and mature charm of her became more and more alluring.

Unconsciously, it aroused Hanyu Hideki's excitement.

Seeing that Hanyu Hideki did not answer, Benedetta moved closer and asked with her big watery eyes.

"Is it because of Yeli that you don't dare to look for me, worried that your thoughts will be exposed?"

Benedetta's affirmative tone seemed to be able to see through what Hanyu Hideki was thinking.

"my thoughts."

Hanyu Hideki pretended to be confused and silently took half a step back.

But Benedetta followed and continued.

"Yes, your idea, you..."

Benedetta said this, tiptoeing gently, and slowly approached with her charming and beautiful face, whispering seductively in Hanyu Hideki's ear.

"…You miss me."

boom!
Hideki Hanyu, who had been unsatisfied recently, was completely ignited by Benedetta.

Looking down, he caught a glimpse of Benedetta's red lips.

A warm, uninhibited start.

"Go to my room on the third floor. Yeri is discussing the exhibition this afternoon. There is definitely enough time."

At Benedetta's reminder, Hideki Hanyu picked her up by the waist and strode towards the third floor.
