Chapter 553: The Real Entertainment Tycoon
After the awards ceremony at the Cannes International Film Festival, Zhang Xiao and Yang Mi attended the Cannes dinner.
Celebrities and entertainers from various countries gathered together in small groups, drinking and drinking, and the atmosphere was very lively.
As a world-class director, Zhang Xiao has come together with Spielberg, Cameron, Zhang Yimou and others.
Cameron looked at Zhang Xiao and said: "Bruce Zhang, "Forrest Gump" is really great. It can be said to be my favorite movie in decades."
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "It must be one of them!"
Cameron said sternly: "There is no one. The best thing about this movie is that it is calm and not deliberately sensational. It is like a stream in a mountain stream. It can slowly flow into the heart, refreshing the heart and leaving endless aftertaste."
Zhang Xiao said: "Director Cameron, thank you very much for your appreciation of "Forrest Gump"."
At this time, Spielberg also asked: "Bruce Zhang, do you have any plans to make a movie after "Forrest Gump"?"
Zhang Xiao shook his head and said, "I want to rest for a while first."
"That's right!" Spielberg said: "Bruce Zhang, Universal Pictures is going to snipe your "Forrest Gump", you should know it!"
"Of course." Zhang Xiao nodded.
Spielberg said angrily: "Andrina must have done this. Do you need help?"
Zhang Xiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "The Golden Palm Award has already helped me a lot."
Cameron said: "'Forrest Gump' is the most perfect combination of business and literature. I don't think Universal Pictures' monsters will become a threat to Forrest Gump."
Spielberg nodded in agreement: "I feel the same way. I saw the trailer of "Thunder" and it was really not that good."
"Such old-fashioned stuff has almost zero appeal to me, and I believe movie fans won't be too interested either."
Zhang Xiaodao: "I have never taken "Thunderbolt" seriously. Even if this movie doesn't hit "Forrest Gump", I guess its box office won't be much better."
···
On the other side, Yang Mi and the crew of "The Party at Southern Station" were also having a lively chat together.
Yang Mi is very interested in this movie and wants to buy its online copyright.
Director Diao Nan said: "Mr. Yang, thank you for being so optimistic about this movie, but I'm sorry, I'm just a director, not an investor. If you are really interested, I can convey your intention to the investors."
"Thank you so much." Yang Mi said with a smile: "Please tell them that our Qingtian Video has just been launched and is in urgent need of excellent works to supplement. In terms of price, we will never be lower than other online video websites."
Diao Nandian nodded and said, "Okay, I will definitely convey it."
Seeing that the two of them had finished talking about business, Gu Yuege came over and said, "Mimi, I haven't seen you for more than two years. You really have the aura of an entertainment tycoon now!"
Yang Mi was stunned and said: "Entertainment tycoon? Lao Gu, you have read too many online novels, right? Where are the real entertainment tycoons?"
After speaking, Yang Mi raised her finger and pointed in the direction of Zhang Xiao and others.
Gu Yuege looked at Zhang Xiao, who was chatting and laughing with Spielberg, Cameron and others, and sighed: "Comparing people with each other is so annoying. I'm afraid no matter how hard we try, we can't reach Mr. Zhang's height."
Liao Bufan and others nodded in unison, expressing agreement.
Yang Mi smiled and said: "He is just a bastard. You don't have to envy him. By the way, Yanran, I heard that your contract is about to expire. How about joining us on a sunny day?"
Ye Yanran said: "Sister Mimi, thank you for your love. I already renewed my contract with the company before coming to Cannes."
Yang Mi still liked Ye Yanran, and said generously: "It doesn't matter if you renew the contract, as long as you are willing, I will pay the liquidated damages."
"Sorry!" Ye Yanran said apologetically: "The company has been kind to me, and I don't want to and can't leave."
Yang Mi was a little disappointed and said: "That's such a pity. What we in Qingtian need most now is an actor like you with reliable acting skills and personality. I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."
···
After the dinner, Zhang Xiao and Yang Mi returned to the hotel.
As soon as she entered the room, Reba's video was played on Yang Mi's mobile phone.
"Wow, I heard that my brother-in-law won the Palmetto d'Or. Congratulations. Now my brother-in-law is the second director to win the Palmetto d'Or at Cannes."
"You, just flatter me as hard as you can. I think you have become his little fan girl now." Yang Mi said angrily.
Then he said: "By the way, your brother-in-law and I are going to June tomorrow. Are my parents and children's things ready?"
After Zhang Xiao bought a manor in New York, he wanted to take his family there for a vacation.
Before coming to Cannes, Zhang Xiao had already asked someone to get his passport and everything else. It just depends on when they leave.
As for Reba, she heard that she was going to New York for a vacation. She happened to have time, so she took on the burden of taking care of her little niece at home, and then they went on vacation together.
Reba at the other end of the video said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, sister, we are all ready. The flight the day after tomorrow will arrive at the lighthouse country at around 11 o'clock local time. I will make the flight schedule later."
Sent to you."
Yang Mi nodded and said: "Okay, your brother-in-law and I will pick you up when the time comes. Where is my daughter?"
"Here!" Reba pointed the phone at Xiao Xinxin, who was crawling around like a curious baby outside the villa.
At this time, Zhang Xiao came over and saw Xiao Xinxin's appearance, and laughed loudly: "This little guy has the same demeanor as when I was a child."
Yang Mi tilted her phone and said angrily: "Please pull it down, Reba, I want to talk to Xiao Xinxin."
Reba put the phone close to Xiao Xinxin and said, "Okay, you say it!"
Yang Mi smiled and said: "Baby girl, do you miss your mother?"
Xiao Xinxin glanced at Yang Mi through the video, her dark eyes wandered twice, and then she turned around and continued playing.
"Ah~~" Yang Mi said angrily: "Xiao Xinxin, you heartless guy, you forgot about me so quickly!"
Zhang Xiao, who was next to him, made up his mind and said: "Now it's even. Anyway, she has forgotten about me as her father. You only care about making money all day long, so it's normal for her to forget about you."
Yang Mi rolled her eyes angrily and said, "Fuck you, wait until we get to New York and see how I deal with this little guy."
"You try?" Zhang Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Yang Mi.
Beat your own daughter?
That is absolutely not possible, not even for a biological mother.
···
The next day, Zhang Xiao and Yang Mi got on the plane to New York.
Both of them are busy people. In the past, Yang Mi could only stay for three days at most before returning to China to deal with the affairs of Qingtian Entertainment Company. Zhang Xiao was not much better.
"Forrest Gump" will have its world premiere in half a month. He has to take the crew all over the world to promote it, so he can only stay in New York for two days at most.
Six hours later, the two arrived at Holby Manor
Coming out of the car, Yang Mi looked at the luxurious manor as far as the eye could see, her eyes filled with shock.
Chapter completed!
