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

Chapter 366: French Beach
It was just the moment when the few people looked at each other.

Gong Li's aura quickly gathered. The woman walked out of the elevator in a charming manner and extended her hand to Huang Baiming with a smile: "Boss Huang, long time no see. Are you staying in this hotel too?"

"Ms. Gong Li."

Huang Baiming also held the other person's hand with a smile on his face.

I exchanged a few polite words with Gong Li.

The circle of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau is so small that there will be more or less some intersections after reaching a certain position.

Once upon a time, Gong Li also went to Hong Kong Island alone to gild herself, but as she grew stronger with one acclaimed work after another and won many awards, she has now become a world-renowned superstar.

In the international film industry, his status and influence are extraordinary.

At least in Cannes.

Far beyond Wong Pak Ming.

Gong Li smiled and nodded to Li Luo and the others, then walked out wearing sunglasses.

Wherever he went, eyes gathered around him.

When walking out the door.

The group of reporters who had been indifferent to Li Luo and the others just now suddenly became agitated. The sound of shutter clicks rang out, and snow-like light swept over Gong Li.

Popularity can’t be boasted about. You can only see the real results by taking it out for practice.

Of course you can say it with a tough mouth.

There's nothing special about being liked by foreigners.

But some things will actually be realized in terms of film pay and commercial endorsements.

In later generations, those traffic stars in the mainland seem to be at their peak of popularity. If they really want to make a splash in the international market, they may not even make a small bubble and reap tens of millions of dollars for a TV series in the domestic entertainment industry.

If I were to go out there, I probably wouldn’t even be able to get a pay of one or two million.

You can only be a bully at home.

Why can Fang Long still star in movies one after another when he is in his sixties or seventies, and why do people keep investing in him even when he makes bad movies?

They even chase after and hold it for investment.

No other reason.

As long as your name is on the poster, you can make money in the international market.

This is the real strength!
Li Luo actually recognizes this kind of strength very much. In his opinion, being able to successfully enter the international market and reap the wallets of foreigners is much better than those traffic stars who are fighting for the ranking in the mainland.

"Let's go!"

Watching Gong Li's figure disappear in the nanny car, he turned and walked into the elevator.

We have never met each other before.

It's normal to nod and smile.

Li Luo is not so narcissistic as to think that his legs would go weak as soon as the other person sees him. He greets the other person frantically as if he had met him too late. This kind of nodding greeting that maintains social propriety is the norm.

Arrive at the check-in floor.

He looked around with great interest again.

It’s no wonder that this hotel officially designated by Cannes is of quite good standard.

It is said that it has a history of 78 years. The entire interior decoration is extremely exquisite. Various statues, oil paintings and potted plants embellish the environment with a Mediterranean style. Of course, women are indispensable!
Following the well-dressed waiters, Li Luo was dazzled by the various foreign girls.

The people who can live here are basically actors, models, singers and women working in related fields.

In other words.

The looks are all above average.

Moreover, when they came to the Mediterranean coast, the romantic south of France, the foreign girls started to dress very coolly. Even inside the hotel, sexy bikinis could be seen everywhere.

The fragrance of the wind flashes.

The black-haired white girl walked past him, twisting her waist.

Da Lei, who was wrapped in a bra, was about to burst out, swaying with the stepping of high heels.

The waist and hips are wrapped in tulle.

As her graceful waist swayed from side to side, her plump buttocks with the green scarf fluttered in the wind, and the bikini pants that were faintly visible inside made people confused.

Fortunately, everyone here is experienced, and Li Luo and Hong Tianming managed to control their gaze.

Stop staring.

How to say~
There is another one waiting for you to see!

Li Luo was almost dizzy from happily looking at the bikini beauties one after another, when he finally arrived at the room where they were staying.

Even though it's just a single room.

But the treatment for the shortlisted creators is still pretty good.

Each room has a balcony, directly facing the golden beach and the blue Mediterranean Sea.

The sky blue patterned railings and the azure sea complement each other, and the curtains flutter in the sea breeze. Although the room is small, it has everything, including a bathtub, a small refrigerator, and a TV.

As a finalist.

The organizing committee also thoughtfully presented gifts provided by sponsors.

Flowers, champagne, chocolates, and a variety of cosmetics and trinkets that are not too expensive but unique.

The Cannes Film Festival certainly has no shortage of sponsors.

Not up to a certain level.

Can't even get sponsorship.

Most of the guests and nominees attending the film festival are wealthy people, and nine out of ten are potential customers of the brands, so they are not stingy when it comes to giving them small gifts.

Li Luo picked up a watch and tossed it, then casually threw it into the gift basket.

"I'll give you the tip later."

Huang Baiming waved his hand to stop him from reaching into his trouser pocket, and then gestured to the balcony: "Although Cannes will not officially open until tomorrow, I still have a lot of things to do, and I have something to tell you."

"Before the movie is officially released, you don't know if any film producers will contact you privately."

"You can drink wine and pick up women."

"But there is one thing."

"You can't just promise anything out there. As you say, you're just eating the sugar-coated food and then hitting back with the cannonball."

nodded.

Li Luo leaned on the guardrail indifferently.

Although he was the main controller, he was a layman in dealing with international film producers.

At this time, of course, we should listen to the experience of those who have experienced it.

He was also surprised to find that there were quite a few women dressed in fancy dresses also standing on the small balcony within his sight. These women were posing in various sexy postures and taking photos with the Mediterranean Sea as the background.

"In addition, the production cost."

Huang Baiming thought about it and then earnestly said, "Let's agree on 20 million, but the currency must be converted into US dollars."

"what?"

Li Luo blinked rapidly.

"Just $20 million."

Huang Baiming adjusted his glasses, his expression very serious: "This is very important. Do you want to advertise to others that you only spent more than three million US dollars to make this movie? In this way, will the film company still offer you a high price?"

"First, blow up the production cost, no matter if others believe it or not."

"When they make their offer, they're probably embarrassed to quote a few hundred thousand, right?"

When it comes to this.

Huang Baiming smiled like an old fox.

Although the film producers will only bid based on the audience response at the time of release and their own analysis and judgment, it is impossible for the producer to say how much, and it is also clear that there is a possibility of inflated costs.

But having such a number here will more or less affect their judgment.

If it can have any impact at all.

The producers can get a lot of benefits here.

The sale of copyright is originally a process of mutual bargaining between two parties. Of course, the cards must be kept hidden, but in the final analysis, they are just some small tricks. The most important thing is to make a good movie.

If it could attract film producers to chase after it.

Don’t be afraid that others won’t quote a high price!
After a detailed discussion, the team leader handed Li Luo and Hong Tianming the local phone numbers for maintaining communication, and Huang Baiming and others left in a hurry as they did not live in the same place.

They still had to settle down quickly.

Although "Raging Fire" is the top priority, Eastern Entertainment has other things to do.

I don't have time to talk about this for a long time.

The novelty of arriving in Cannes wore off, and Li Luo was in no mood to look at the models or actors who were still taking photos. Instead, he frowned slightly and stared at the calm ocean and the yachts that were making waves.

Others thought he was relaxed, but he was always overwhelmed by pressure during this period.

The first film he directed was released on such a big stage.

To say there is no pressure.

That is absolutely impossible.

If it is released in China, even if there are some negative reviews, we can find a way to guide them, but these international film critics will not hold back when they criticize it.

Not to mention that during the premiere, there were probably nearly two thousand people watching with me.

The men booed.

I won't be polite at all.

For any director, this is a mountain of pressure.

This place is not just about glamour and glitz. There are also many people who fail because of poor premiere responses. Success will always belong to only a small number of people!

"don’t worry."

Hong Tianming took out the cigar he had just bought at the airport and strode to the balcony: "Our movie will definitely be a success. Everyone should put their heart and soul into it during the filming."

“All the sweat and torture.”

At this point, he gritted his teeth and said, "All the hard work will not be in vain!"

“We didn’t mess with the movie.”

Thinking of how he was tied to a chair for hours and how he was so anxious that he could hardly hold his urine, Hong Tianming swallowed his saliva and said, "The movie will definitely not fool us."

"Ah."

Taking the cigar, Li Luo bit it hard.

at this point.

Just accept it calmly.

Of course, the pressure will not disappear because of two words from the other party, but you do need to face it with a better attitude.

"Go back and pack your things."

Li Luo cut off the cigar with a click, shook his head and strode into the room: "Don't think too much, we should hurry up and go out to see foreign girls. By the way, you bought so many condoms, aren't you a little too confident?"

"You're a talent for buying condoms right after you got off the plane."

"Hahaha."

Hong Tianming laughed while biting a cigar, and walked out of the room with a shiver: "You talk as if you didn't buy it. Just wait and see, I'll show you my true charm." Giving a middle finger, Li Luo smiled and lit the cigar.

He opened the suitcase swiftly.

There are several sets of suits prepared here, for walking the red carpet, attending press conferences, and attending movie premieres. The styles are generally the same, but there are some differences in the details.

It is worth mentioning that he was not wearing any tie.

Instead, there's a bow tie.

It's not customary to wear ties in Cannes. Any casual outfit is acceptable in private, but in formal occasions, you must observe the relevant dress etiquette, and even Hollywood stars are no exception.

Female guests can be sexy or dignified.

Just don’t take off all your clothes!
If a male guest walks onto the red carpet wearing a tie, he is very likely to be stopped by security personnel.

Finish packing the clothes.

Li Luo changed into shorts and a white T-shirt, put on a pair of sunglasses and went out excitedly.

Hong Tianming, who lived next door, also walked out of the room at the same time. This guy was dressed even more flashily, in beach pants, a floral shirt, and a pair of flip-flops, looking like a tourist.

But the same is true for me.

The two of them bumped fists, and Li Luo happily walked into the elevator in flip-flops.

No matter whether it’s stressful or not, just find a way to have some fun first.

"Where to go?"

Get out of the hotel.

Hong Tianming pushed his sunglasses to the top of his head.

"nonsense."

Li Luo simply ignored the reporters at the hotel entrance and strolled across the street.

Come to the coastal city.

It would be inappropriate not to go to the beach!

It is not surprising that they look like this. People wear all kinds of outfits on the street. Girls wearing bikinis can be seen everywhere. Some of them even have photographers following them to take pictures while they walk.

The entire Cannes is now a huge stage.

Famous.

Being chased and photographed by reporters from all walks of life.

Those who are not famous will find ways to spend some money to find someone to take pictures of them. It doesn’t matter whether they are really popular or not. What matters is that people see that they are popular in Cannes. It doesn’t matter whether the popularity is real or fake.

Take some photos and videos, then go back to China and try to buy press releases to brag about it.

Now it has an international style!
The domestic country mentioned here does not refer to China.

Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him who was surrounded by several staff members, and listening to the Korean dialect floating in the air, Li Luo instantly realized that riding on the popularity of Cannes is not exclusive to domestic actors.

It's all just imitation!
Cross the road.

The two were about to walk down the steps to the beach when an arm suddenly stretched out and stopped them firmly.

Black suit and sunglasses.

The burly security guard stopped Li Luo with a smile and said in a very firm tone: "Sorry, sir, this is the private beach of the Martinez Hotel and only hotel customers are accepted here."

"Please show relevant proof."

After looking at each other, Li Luo and Hong Tianming took out their room cards at the same time.

"Thank you."

The security personnel noticed the white badge on Hong Tianming's body and stepped aside with a smile: "Welcome two distinguished guests to Cannes. Please enjoy the sunshine and beaches of France."

After expressing his gratitude to the other party, Li Luo looked at the eldest son of the Hong family with contempt:
"Do you want to be so ostentatious?"

"want!"

Hong Tianming walked down the stairs proudly, and said calmly: "Don't be polite to foreigners. Since they have designed the levels of guests, it would be a bastard not to take advantage of the opportunity."

"If you hide it, no one will look at you with respect."

“Better than humans.”

“It has to show.”

He paused for a moment and said with great emotion: "Especially the Americans. My eldest brother told us that when he went to Hollywood to make his living, he always modestly said that he was not good enough at the beginning."

"I later discovered that people don't take your words as a courtesy."

"Not only do they think you are incompetent, but they will also try to get ahead of you. Exclusion and bullying are deeply rooted in the American bones."

"In a place like that."

Shrugging his shoulders, Hong Tianming pouted and said, "They only believe in the strong."

Fang Long’s words are quite credible, after all, he is the most successful Chinese actor in Hollywood.

The two of them walked quickly down the stairs while chatting.

What comes into view is a restaurant with a Mediterranean style.

In front of the restaurant, a long wooden pier extends far into the sea, with outdoor dining tables on it, parasols open, and bikini girls lying on cushioned outdoor lounge chairs.

Enjoying the Mediterranean sunshine.

Order two glasses of lemonade.

The two of them walked onto the wooden pier excitedly, letting the sea breeze blow their clothes.

“Oh~.”

After looking around, Li Luo stopped.

He had just discovered some clues upstairs, and now when he walked in and took a look, he couldn't help but be surprised.

“With money and without money.”

Taking a sip of lemonade, Hong Tianming smiled and said, "Sometimes it's just so obvious."

It's not very obvious from a distance.

Now standing on the wooden pier extending into the sea, some things can be seen clearly when you get closer. The public beach on the left is densely packed with people, so crowded that there is a person every few steps.

On the hotel beach on the right, it looks a bit sparse.

Every guest of the hotel.

Everyone can enjoy ample private space.

Although Hong Tianming was too direct, the current situation easily proved that the resources one can enjoy are completely different if one is rich or poor.

"Ha~"

Li Luo smiled and raised his chin to the front: "Compared to those people, we are just paupers!"

There are mountain high mountain.

On the sea in the distance, yachts are shining with white light.

Compared to those things.

The hotel beach is obviously inferior.

“Just compare yourself to yourself.”

Hong Tianming raised the lemonade in his hand and said gratefully: "Only those who are content can be happy. I am very happy to have the current treatment. Thank you, Luo Ge, thank you!"

"It would allow me to come to Cannes with my swagger."

"Why are you so polite!"

With a hearty laugh, Li Luo clinked glasses with him crisply.

The sea breeze howled.

The wind made Li Luo's short hair flutter.

After taking a big gulp of lemonade, he looked happily at the yacht in the distance.

One day.

It may not be impossible for me to replace it.

There is still a lot of time!

After standing there and enjoying the sea breeze for a while, the two walked back leisurely, followed the escalator next to the pier to the golden beach, and strolled forward talking and laughing.

The hotel's private beach is in a great location.

The dense palm trees completely blocked the cameras of reporters and paparazzi above, allowing many people to enjoy some peace and quiet.

Then he is a public figure.

No one wants to be open 24 hours a day.

Proper relaxation is very necessary.

"I rely on!!!"

Walking forward a distance, Li Luo's eyes suddenly widened.

I couldn't help but swear.

Not far ahead, several tall foreign girls were lying or crouching on towels spread on the beach. Some of them were only wearing a pair of bikini pants, and their slender breasts were shining with a layer of sunscreen under the bright sunshine.

And some girls.

Even stripping himself naked.

Try to let the sun tan your skin all over your body.

The big and small breasts were rising and falling in front of his eyes. The waistline on their flat bellies was extremely sexy. Glancing down, all the foreign girls had shaved their heads clean.

As the figure turned over, some doors and windows appeared briefly.

"France!"

Hong Tianming's voice was trembling as he spoke, and he swallowed a mouthful of lemonade with great excitement: "Nude bathing is nothing big, you just get used to it. Don't stare at others all the time, be more natural."

Even so.

But his eyes were so bright!
"hey-hey."

Looking at Li Luo, the eldest son of the Hong family raised his hand excitedly: "I find myself a little in love with Cannes. This place is really nice."

"Yeah~~~"

Looking into the distance, Li Luo bumped his fist with emotion.

The girls in front.

Not an isolated case!

On this golden beach in front of us, there are girls everywhere who are naked and enjoying the sun. Of course, their body shapes are different, but those who can stay in high-end hotels basically pay attention to body management.

Most of the people who come at this time are actors and models.

All foreign girls.

Most of them are young and beautiful.

The charming Mediterranean breeze made Li Luo unable to suppress the smile on his face.

Life in Cannes.

He couldn't wait any longer!
