Huayu, can you be called the best actor if you don’t indulge yourself?

A burst of French coming out of the loudspeaker woke Li Luo up from his sleep.

Before he opened his eyes.

I smelled a strong scent of perfume.

"gentlemen."

As my eyelashes fluttered, a gentle voice rang in my ears: "The plane will land soon, please be ready to get off the plane, thank you!"

"Ah."

Rubbing his face, Li Luo looked at the stewardess with sleepy eyes: "Excuse me, what time is it now?"

"Seven fifteen in the morning, local time."

The stewardess gave the answer with a smile, looked at the handsome face, then stood up and went to the next cabin. Her waist swayed as she walked, causing her plump and round butt to twist gently.

Li Luo quickly looked away and noticed the small note left by the other party.

The name of the hotel and a series of numbers.

Just looking at this uniform and the French language still floating in the cabin, it is hard not to be reminded of Woodpecker's stewardess series.

That's a classic!

Crumpling the note in his hand with emotion, he subconsciously raised his hand to look at his watch.

Li Luo was surprised to find that the time above was actually afternoon, not seven in the morning as the flight attendant had said. However, he quickly realized that there was such a thing as jet lag.

Adjust the time quickly.

He opened the porthole and looked at the scenery outside.

A large urban cluster suddenly came into view. There were no tall buildings standing in a row. Instead, various gray and white low-rise buildings were planned in an orderly manner and spread all the way to the end of the horizon.

This place is the heart of France.

Paris!

After more than ten hours of long-distance flight, we finally arrived at the transit point of this journey.

This time attending the Cannes Film Festival.

It can be said that he set out from the capital alone.

This was not just an award ceremony, but a film festival that lasted for more than ten days. Lin Yue wanted to come to France with him and stay for such a long time, but if she did that, the company's affairs would be paralyzed.

Liu Wan is also looking forward to spending ten days in the coastal city in southern France.

But I was happy to receive a leave notice.

Even if you are shortlisted for the film festival, the organizing committee will only provide two or three places for air-conditioned accommodation.

The rest was paid out of personal pockets.

Huang Baiming told Li Luo very honestly that if he was not really short of money, he was advised to bring as few entourage as possible, or even no entourage at all, because Oriental Entertainment already had the corresponding personnel anyway.

Actually, there is no other reason.

Just because the prices in Cannes are extremely expensive during the film festival.

Unlike Hong Kong Island, Cannes is just a small seaside city.

Change to domestic terms.

Its size is almost like a small town.

During the film festival, tens of thousands of people flocked to this seaside town, making food, accommodation and transportation astronomical.

There are so many tourists suddenly.

In exchange for.

It’s hard to find a room.

When supply and demand become unbalanced, the cost of food and accommodation also rises.

Not to mention hotels with sea views, even ordinary hotels cost hundreds of Euros, which is thousands of RMB per night, equivalent to a five-star hotel!

Although Li Luo was not short of money, he was not so rich that he would not mind spending several thousand dollars a day on his entourage.

Round trip airfare plus accommodation and meals.

All the mess added up is enough to pay a year’s salary!

He decided to spend and save as he saw fit, and simply let Liu Wan take paid leave while he went there alone.

Been an actor for a few years.

It’s not to the point where you don’t know how to take care of yourself.

While his thoughts were wandering, the plane slowly landed at Charles de Gaulle International Airport. After a series of formalities, Li Luo strolled through the airport dragging his suitcase. He was not worried at all about being recognized when he came to a foreign country.

There were brown, white and black people everywhere. It was the first time he saw so many foreigners.

Come to this so-called romantic city.

The first feeling is that it stinks.

Every foreigner was filled with a strong smell of perfume, which came over one after another, and when it reached its extreme, it turned into a stench.

I rubbed my nose hard and finally managed to adapt.

"Stupid pig."

Just as he took a step forward, a loud shout was heard and the Asian man sitting not far in front stood up excitedly.

"Stupid ass!!!"

Li Luo immediately returned the friendly greeting without any hesitation.

A loud laugh was heard.

He and the eldest son of the Hong family hugged each other tightly.

Hong Tianming was so excited that he patted Li Luo on the back. He almost went crazy with joy when he learned that "Raging Fire" was shortlisted for Cannes. He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to show his face abroad.

The pain and suffering I went through in losing weight has now become something I can brag about to my friends.

Even the old man became kind-hearted.

Since you are shortlisted.

With his personality, of course he wants to be in the spotlight.

Li Luo was bombarded with phone calls and finally got a spot on a government-funded tour. He was so happy that he was even more excited when trying to pick up girls.

"Mr. Huang."

After letting go of the eldest son of the Hong family, Li Luo happily hugged the man with glasses again.

"Arlo."

Huang Baiming laughed out loud.

Patting him on the back with equal glee.

I invested five million at that time hoping to get some good luck, and now it seems that it was a good idea. Although I didn't make any money from purchasing the copyright of "Crazy Stone", "Raging Fire" will definitely make me a fortune.

I now feel that there is nothing wrong with the casting of "Ip Man".

As Huang Baiming continued to introduce, Li Luo greeted several people who stood up one after another.

Even if the number of people is further reduced, it still involves team leaders, business affairs, translators, stylists, publicity, assistants and other staff.

We should save what we should save and spend what we should spend.

There is no such thing as a small team.

There is no way to carry out various film promotions and business negotiations at all.

Many of the staff are shared by everyone, such as translators and stylists. The publicists are also responsible for filming, writing and liaising with the media, and assistants also have multiple duties.

This is normal.

Only top celebrities or Hollywood superstars can afford to bring a team with them.

In fact, as the owner of a veteran film company.

Huang Baiming is certainly not without money.

But a businessman must be careful with his money when doing things. He clearly realizes that he is here to make money, not to spend money on show.

After receiving the connecting flight to Nice, Li Luo started to transfer with everyone else.

According to funding availability.

The crew could only invite a few main creators to attend the premiere.

However, only these few people went to Cannes first, and the rest arrived one after another according to their own itineraries.

Some people are so busy that they have no time to spare.

"Want to visit Paris?"

Noticing that he was looking outside the airport, Hong Tianming put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Don't be fooled by the media's filter. The Eiffel Tower is just a broken tower."

"The city of romance is just like that. Many places smell like urine."

"There are so many pickpockets and scammers, keep an eye on your passport!"

"Is it that exaggerated?"

As the crowd moved forward, Li Luo expressed strong doubts.

France is a long-established capitalist power.

Although the knees are a bit soft, it’s not to the extent of being dirty and messy!
“There are good and bad things.”

Huang Baiming slowed down his pace and said with a smile: "Anyway, it won't be what you imagine. The real French style is actually in the countryside and in those beautiful towns."

"Anyway, I prefer Cannes to Paris."

Cannes is Cannes.

There are some differences in the names of foreign places and people in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong. Huang Baiming sometimes takes Li Luo's habits into consideration, and sometimes follows his own habits.

Li Luo didn't have any yearning for it, he just felt it would be a pity if he didn't take a look when passing by.

A few people talking.

Then boarded the flight to Nice.

Because Cannes was about to open, the plane was packed.

Forget about first class.

It’s good to be able to buy a seat at this time.

Most of the people on the plane at this time are movie lovers, media reporters or related practitioners. Even if they look tired from traveling, it cannot conceal their excitement.

Whenever our eyes meet, we always smile knowingly as one of the people we like.

We haven’t even reached Cannes yet!
I can already feel the atmosphere brought by the film festival.

What was not lacking was handsome men and beautiful women. Looking at the white girls sitting together, Hong Tianming's eyes lit up.

All of them are long legs and high heels.

While playing and frolicking, the colorful skin underneath the denim miniskirt was faintly visible.

even
No color at all.

Hong Tianming swore that he definitely didn't look at it on purpose, but he couldn't stand the other person's heroic attitude of not caring at all.

"hi~"

One of the girls with a high nose noticed Hong Tianming's gaze and immediately greeted him by shaking her slender fingers, with a bright and charming smile on her face.

"Hi!"

Hong Tianming was so amused by the foreign horse's laughter that his bones went soft, and he quickly responded.

Every time I walk with Li Luo.

They were all suppressed.

It was the first time a beautiful girl greeted him first. Hong Tianming quickly straightened his chest to make himself look more manly.

"this is my name card."

The blonde girl gave him a wink and held out the card between her fingers: "You can call me anytime."

Hong Tianming's bones became even softer, and he raised his eyebrows at Li Luo proudly.

Look at my luck with women!

"Ah."

The blonde girl's voice had not yet stopped, and her eyes fell on Li Luo with great appreciation: "If your friend is willing to come, I can give you a nine."

After hesitating for a moment, she gestured against her professional code:
"30% off~"

"It can't go any lower!"

Li Luo has a good foundation, and the improvement in his physical fitness and charm has caused some subtle changes in him over the years.

In fact, the person is still the same person, but his childhood playmates see his current appearance.

You will definitely be amazed.

Li Luo's skin is the envy of all his sisters and friends. It exudes a vital luster, so much so that many people keep asking him what skin care products he uses.

His eyes were exceptionally bright, like a deep spring.

He has a high nose bridge, an angular and handsome face, and exudes youthful vitality all over his body.

It can be said that it is popular in both the East and the West.

So much so that the blonde girl would rather take a discount just to try out how he feels.

"Uh~"

Hong Tianming was stunned at this time.

What’s the matter? It’s okay for special workers!
I actually have to rely on my brothers to get discounts. Do I look like someone who needs those small things?

How insulting!!!
With his neck stiff, Hong Tianming wanted to have a good talk.

Li Luo grabbed him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and pushed him to the narrow seat amid the flirtatious glances of several foreign girls. He then let Huang Baiming sit in the seat and sat in the middle seat himself.

The flight took just over an hour, and Huang Baiming was too lazy to continue adjusting to the jet lag.

He happily introduced the situation in Cannes to Li Luo.

In this extravagant event.

It is not just filmmakers and related practitioners who flock here, but also special practitioners from several surrounding countries who have their own advantages.

Cannes is not only an art festival and a huge copyright trading market.

During these ten-odd days of bustle, the gorgeous and bustling seaside town will be filled with celebration banquets, cocktail parties, villa parties, yacht parties and other crazy celebrations all the time.

Whether it is the brand, famous Hollywood movie stars, singers or those financially strong distributors.

Even the boss of a movie company.

Many of these people are big spenders.

When money is flying and champagne is overflowing, women are of course indispensable to add some glitz and glamour.

They only accept a few small bills, but use their beautiful bodies to make the late-night parties in Cannes full of passion. They are an indispensable part of the film festival.

"correct."

Huang Baiming thought about it, then hesitated and said, "Those foreigners are crazy when they play, Luo, if you are invited to some parties."

"something."

"Ah."

He didn't know whether he should say it or not, so he could only smile:

"Just pay attention to yourself anyway!"

"Thank you."

Li Luo smiled and nodded, then put on his sunglasses calmly: "I'm not interested in that stuff."

In a place full of money and material desires, that thing is always indispensable.

Due to the extremely strict domestic supervision, it is difficult for normal people to touch that kind of thing, but it is another matter abroad, especially in the film art circle which claims to be the most free and open.

Smoking two pockmarks is considered extremely common.

There are even some who play it more ruthlessly.

Many foreigners regard this kind of thing as something extremely fashionable, and indulge in it in various ways.

Huang Baiming was also worried that Li Luo had never seen that kind of thing.

Afraid that he might make a mistake.

In fact, Xu Qing also reminded people of these things before setting off. They must not touch various pills or hand-rolled cigarettes out of curiosity. If they are detected when they come back, they will be doomed!

Li Luo is not that crazy. There are some things he will never touch.

The plane roared.

Landed soon at Nice Airport.

Everyone carried various luggage and followed the crowd out of the airport.

Next, there is more than an hour of journey ahead.

To finally reach the destination.

Coming here immediately gave me the feeling of attending a film festival. A large number of reporters gathered outside the exit, and their sharp eyes were constantly searching the passengers who were walking out.

Trying to capture some well-known public figures.

There are generally two ways to get to Cannes.

It is quite easy for reporters to stop people by transferring from Paris to Nice and then taking a car, or taking a train directly from Paris.

However, these foreigners did not find any familiar faces and put down their cameras in disappointment.

"Brother Luo."

Just as everyone continued to move forward, shouts stopped them.

"Hi~"

Taking off his sunglasses, Li Luo looked at Zhao Jun in surprise: "Brother Jun, why did you come to Cannes too?"

I realized I was asking a stupid question.

He smiled and waved again.

"Work."

Zhao Jun responded with a smile, and then asked with great interest while holding the camera: "How do you feel about coming to Cannes, Luo Ge? Can you take a photo with our Xin Lang doll?"

"I don't know how I feel. I'll tell you when I get to Cannes."

Amidst a burst of laughter, Li Luo took the promotional doll handed to him by the other party's assistant.

Xin Lang's influence is still very good. They can be seen at various entertainment festivals. It is considered a relatively important online publicity channel.

Regardless of other people's curious looks.

Under the surprised gaze of those coolly dressed European female Bodhisattvas.

Li Luo held Huang Baiming and Hong Tianming on his left and right, and everyone took a few happy photos in front of the camera.

He also agreed to the request for an exclusive interview.

They boarded the reserved minibus and drove towards Cannes.

White clouds float in the azure sky, rows of tall, green palm trees sway gently in the sea breeze, huge movie posters posted on low buildings pass by one after another, and the sunshine makes everything look extremely brilliant.

Those leisurely pedestrians, with excited faces.

Cameras everywhere.

Everything before his eyes made Li Luo finally feel the atmosphere of Cannes clearly.

My heart couldn't help but beat faster.

Although he did not have any special feelings towards the three major film festivals, deep down he felt that he was only here to take a vacation and sell films, but who would not be excited in such an environment?

He looked at Hong Tianming and their fists bumped together in joy.

It's no different from what Huang Baiming said.

All of Cannes.

It's a small town at best.

The narrow streets and the crowded crowds, if it weren't for the French and English chattering in the air, would have given him the same feeling as a country market.

However, as the driver turned the steering wheel, everything suddenly became clear.

The golden sand beach stretches to the end of the sight.

The blue water.

It is almost the same color as the sky.

The occasional white waves and the yachts of various styles floating on the sea completely drew him into the holiday atmosphere of the seaside.

The sight of tourists lying on the beach and sunbathing comfortably made him want to get off the car immediately and enjoy the seaside scenery.

But the most urgent thing is to settle down first.

The entourage was accommodated in a small hotel in the inner city.

Then, under the guidance of the team leader and translator, they rushed to the designated location of the organizing committee to sign in, receive identity certificates and listen to precautions. After a busy period, they completed the registration.

"Get it!"

Weighing the tag in his hand, Wong Jing said with emotion: "Do you want to enjoy the respect and envy of others?"

"Just wear this."

"As long as you wear this white badge, everyone will know that you are the filmmakers who have been shortlisted."

"Within the past ten days."

"You are the most popular presence in Cannes."

"There are no restrictions on watching movies. You can watch whatever movies you want. You don't need to queue up like others. You can enter the theater directly through the VIP channel and choose your favorite viewing seat first."

"Generally speaking."

Huang Baiming slapped the white tag on Li Luo's hand, with a very strong smile on his face: "We are all VIPs!!!"

There were also many practitioners handling the procedures on site.

After getting the ID cards, the foreigners couldn't wait to put them on.

everyone's face.

They all have a somewhat arrogant look on their faces.

Of course, this also included Hong Tianming. This guy hung up the tag excitedly, leaned close to Li Luo's ear and whispered with a chuckle: "What's so good about the movie? I have this main creator certificate on me."

"Wouldn't it be nice to have a few more big foreign horses?"

Looking at the guy with a smirk on his face, Li Luo pushed him away, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

In fact, it’s true that the name badge that Hong Tianming wears really makes him look very impressive in front of movie lovers. He can probably hook up with girls from film academies with ease!

Li Luo estimated.

This is probably why the Cannes organizing committee designed the color levels for invitations and identity cards.

This is true for all military ranks and noble hierarchies.

Enviable.

Everyone will work hard for it.

While enjoying the glory, we will also regard this film festival as an honor.

After completing the formalities here, they followed their team leader to the official hotel of the Cannes Organizing Committee to check in. From a distance, they could see the words "Martin Nez" above the hotel's veranda and a large group of reporters gathered outside.

Their vehicle slowly stopped.

Reporters raised their cameras one after another, but quickly put them down again.

These Asians.

No one is familiar.

Li Luo didn't care and walked inside dragging his suitcase.

Except for those international stars who are popular all over the world, it is very common to receive such treatment. In their own country, they are big stars who are admired by everyone, but when they come here, they are just small shrimps at best.

I want to be in the spotlight and have people scream my name like crazy.

You can only find ways to work hard.

The extremely luxurious lobby is bustling with people.

Some were dressed casually like them, while others were formally dressed, and there was an endless stream of gorgeous women swaying in exquisite gowns.

Take a closer look.

But I couldn't find any familiar faces.

Li Luo quickly withdrew his attention from the white thunders, took out his ID and invitation letter and started to check in, and took all three rooms provided by the organizing committee.

Don't even think about business suites, they're just single rooms.

He also felt bad about spending one or two thousand euros.

It is impossible for the organizing committee to be so generous. It’s good enough to have a place to stay!
As for the crew members who arrived later, they could only stay in high-priced rooms.

And it’s by reservation only.

The situation is so tight now that there is no room available for temporary stay.

"Please, I'm American."

When Li Luo was signing, a rough voice complained next to him: "I need sunshine. Do you French people understand English? Balcony, I need a room with a balcony."

“My skin needs some sunshine!”

"Feel sorry."

The hotel receptionist kept smiling and said firmly, "Mr. Dillon, there are no rooms available for exchange right now."

Out of curiosity, Li Luo turned his head to look over.

Whoops!

Black shirt, jeans, mustache, and that very funny horse face.

The image of the other party.

It made Li Luo once again feel the absurdity of his dream becoming reality.

"What is the problem?"

The horse-faced man noticed his gaze and opened his arms with a little dissatisfaction.

"Drama?"

Li Luo thought about it and asked a question out of curiosity.

"it is me!"

Unexpectedly, the horse-faced man heard his character's nickname. His dissatisfaction quickly faded. "But you can just call me Kevin Dillon. Have you seen Entourage?"

"of course."

Li Luo smiled and said with a slightly strange mood: "Your performance in it was very good. I was deeply impressed."

The other party mentioned "Entourage".

Li Luo has another name.

"Entourage"!
It tells the story of a big star and his three followers struggling in the world of fame and fortune. Many Hollywood stars make guest appearances in it. It is a small-scale American drama that is suitable for all ages and suitable for the whole family to watch.

I didn’t expect to meet one of the protagonists here.

After hearing Li Luo's words, Kevin Dillon, who had been somewhat dissatisfied just now, was delighted.

"Tsk."

Li Luo raised his eyebrows and happily extended his hand: "I just didn't expect to meet you in Cannes."

“Shooting on location.”

Kevin Dillon wiped his mustache and shook his hand happily: "We are filming the plot of the fourth season, about Vincent going to the Cannes Film Festival. Let's not talk about this. You need to come with me."

When he saw the white sign hanging on Li Luo’s chest, the guy stopped talking abruptly.

Blinking eyes.

Damn, I luckily didn’t mention the photo.

I came here to film the movie, and I could even be considered a fake, but the guy in front of me is the real nominated main creator.

"Okay~"

Li Luo eased the embarrassment for the other party and immediately handed the camera on his back to Hong Tianming: "If you don't mind, let's take a photo together!"

I had the impression that the fourth season actually included a trip to Cannes to screen a movie, but I didn't expect it to be filmed at this time.

Despite being a star in a TV series.

But the other party can also be considered a star!
This American TV series was filmed for a total of eight seasons, and even a movie version was made later. If the ratings were not good, it would never have achieved such success. American TV series will not be lenient when it comes to cancellations.

"You're a good guy."

Kevin Dillon habitually gave the camera a standard smile and looked at this strange fan curiously.

"I'm Li Luo, a film director."

Li Luo introduced himself knowingly and casually invited, "At midnight on the 19th, there will be a midnight screening of "Rage". If you are interested in action movies, you are welcome to come and watch it."

"no problem!"

Kevin Dillon was stunned at first, then he agreed readily.

I thought he was an actor like me, but I didn't expect this guy to be a director.

Asian face, and he's in an action movie.

To be honest, he was really interested.

It was not convenient to continue the conversation at the front desk, and there were people waiting, so Li Luo quickly said goodbye and left. The few of them continued to walk towards the elevator with the rack pushed by the porter.

Facing Hong Tianming's inquiring gaze, he just smiled and shrugged.

"Ding~"

The elevator door opens.

"Miss."

The porter nodded respectfully and made way for the guests inside.

There were two people standing in the elevator.

The person hiding in the corner is obviously an assistant. The woman standing in the middle of the elevator has an extremely strong aura, as if wherever she goes is her home court, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

And the opponent's pressure is indeed strong.

In Curse of the Golden Flower, it is so imposing and breathtaking.

Sister Qiuxiang.

I didn't expect to meet each other here.

His eyes swept across the towering breasts and fixed on that very familiar face, and Li Luo immediately maintained a faint smile.

A very decent, yet definitely handsome smile!

this woman.

Tsk!
The charm is still there!!!
