Gao Wen's Legend of the Lingzhu had been filmed and was immediately taken to Cannes to participate in the film festival by Bai Ji.
The main reason is that when she was filming in Hong Kong, she made a cameo appearance in a movie.
It's said to be a cameo, but in fact it's just a vase that only appeared for five minutes.
Now the producer invites Gao Wen to attend, which is considered as a favor to UC Media and Xu Chuan.
Gao Wen used to take photos and then send them back to China to publish a few drafts.
"Okay, it's perfect..."
The photographer put away the camera and gave an OK gesture to Gao Wen, who was posing.
Gao Wen, who had already changed several sets of clothes and taken hundreds of photos, was so tired that she collapsed on the chair.
"Get up, we're about to enter."
Zhong Miaomiao came over immediately without giving Gao Wen any time to rest.
They will immediately go to the Lumière Screening Hall, the main venue of the film festival. It is the largest screening hall in Cannes and can accommodate 2,000 people. The main competition premieres are held here every day.
And as long as you get a movie ticket here, it means you can walk on the red carpet.
However, there is a strict dress code for the premiere here. Men must wear evening gowns with black bows, and women must wear evening dresses and high heels.
Of course, what they have to attend today is the more important opening ceremony of the film festival.
The value of the red carpet at this time was much higher than it would be ten years later, and there were not yet a large number of professional red carpet stars.
Those who can walk on the red carpet of the opening ceremony are basically divided into three categories. The first category is invited by the film festival organizer, which is usually the most important.
The second type is invitations from sponsors, and the third type is contestants with works.
Gao Wen belongs to the last category. She came with the team of Hong Kong movie star Ji Peng.
Ji Peng's status in the world is equivalent to that of Brother Long in Xu Chuan's previous life.
He became famous through action movies and carved a niche in Hollywood.
It's just that what he made this time was not an action movie, but a drama.
"Xiaowen, long time no see."
Ji Peng, who is already in his early fifties, is wearing a Chinese Tang suit. He looks like an elder to Gao Wen, with a kind smile on his face.
"Hello, Brother Peng, long time no see." Gao Wen greeted the other party politely.
"Okay, by the way, Director Xu didn't come this time?"
Ji Peng looked at Gao Wen, who was surrounded by her own team. The mysterious Xu Chuan did not appear.
He had some doubts in his heart, maybe they all thought wrong, maybe this girl is not that important.
Gao Wen knew what the other party was thinking and felt a little helpless. This world is so realistic.
Just as she was about to answer, Zhong Miaomiao beside her had already spoken for her, "Director Xu has arrived in Cannes. He came with Mr. Zhou, Mr. Deng and Mr. Allen from Wayne Media Group."
Zhong Miaomiao also received the news when Gao Wen was taking photos.
She looked at the surprised Gao Wen and immediately explained, "Director Xu told me not to tell you first, but to give you a surprise."
Gao Wen's expression immediately turned from anger to joy, "Then where is he now?"
Zhong Miaomiao slandered Xu Chuan and then replied, "It should be on the way here."
Ji Peng's expression immediately beamed with joy, "That should be soon, why don't we wait for them?"
Ji Peng, of course, knows that these people, except Deng Cheng, are all very important figures in the entertainment industry.
The media group controlled by Allen Wayne's family has a very important influence in Hollywood.
Zhou Hao currently also plays a pivotal role in the Chinese entertainment industry.
As for Xu Chuan, not to mention, Ji Peng has a way to know the other party's identity.
It can be said that China's entertainment industry is just a toy for him.
"No, no, he will never walk on the red carpet."
Gao Wen waved her hands repeatedly. She knew Xu Chuan's character very well.
However, Ji Peng stopped Gao Wen and said, "We won't waste anything if we wait."
The matter was decided by Ji Peng.
Gao Wen had a headache, worried about how Xu Chuan would be able to smooth things over if he ignored Ji Peng's kindness.
Faced with this unexpected incident, Zhong Miaomiao quickly called Zhou Hao.
There is still enough time. With Ji Peng's status in the world, his appearance will definitely not be too high. There is still some time before their appearance.
Of course, the order of admission has been decided by the organizer in advance. If Ji Peng needs to adjust the order, the people behind him may be unhappy.
And the effects are likely to be cascading.
Fortunately, Xu Chuan and the others did not waste too much time.
Before Ji Peng entered, two Rolls-Royce Phantoms drove to the entrance and stopped under the guidance of the organizer.
Xu Chuan and four others got out of the car. Gao Wen squinted her short-sighted eyes and looked from a distance. It took a lot of effort to find Xu Chuan in formal clothes more than ten meters away.
This is really surprising.
"Look, look, I said you should wait for him."
Ji Peng was smiling happily at the side, and one could tell he was in a good mood.
It seems that I was right. This girl holds a very important position in Xu Chuan's heart.
Xu Chuan, who had just gotten off the car, tidied his clothes first. He had never felt comfortable wearing such clothes.
The other three people were dressed the same as him, and they stood together like the best men at a wedding.
Xu Chuan curled his lips. He really didn't like to participate in such activities. If it weren't for Gao Wen being here, he wouldn't have come.
Then he looked up and saw Gao Wen waving to him.
Haha, Xu Chuan finally had a smile on his face, and walked over without paying attention to the three people around him.
"This guy is heterosexual and inhumane."
The only person here who can complain about him like this is Deng Cheng.
Allen Wayne stood in the middle, put his arms around the shoulders of the other two people and said in English, "Brothers, let me show off the audience."
These three have been hanging out together a lot lately, and their relationship has grown by leaps and bounds and they have become very good fair-weather friends.
It was too easy for them to get invitations to the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival.
Xu Chuan walked towards Gao Wen, waved with a smile and opened his arms.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ji Peng, who was standing in front, thought that Xu Chuan's enthusiasm was for him, so he went up to him somewhat flattered.
Then he was pushed aside by Xu Chuan who looked puzzled.
Xu Chuan looked at him sideways, his eyes seeming to say, who the hell are you?
Gao Wen was excited, then quickly stepped forward and hugged Xu Chuan, and then quickly said before Xu Chuan opened his mouth, "This is Ji Peng, Brother Peng, didn't you say you often watch his movies before?"
Xu Chuan lowered his head and looked at Gao Wen, "When will I..."
Then I felt someone pinching me hard on my lower back.
"Hiss~"
"Yes, Brother Peng, I was watching your movie on the plane yesterday. I was so happy when I saw my girlfriend that I didn't notice it."
When it comes to talking nonsense, Xu Chuan really speaks up.
He knows Ji Peng is a ghost.
But his words made Gao Wen feel a little embarrassed.
Ji Peng looked at the other person's perfunctory expression and couldn't get angry even if he wanted to. He didn't even know him.
But at least it's decent.
Ji Peng took the initiative to reach out and shook Xu Chuan's hand, and the two of them officially got to know each other.
Actors who were born in Xiangjiang in the early days were very good at reading people's eyes, especially Ji Peng, who was able to succeed in Hollywood. His emotional intelligence was extremely high.
Without saying a few words, Xu Chuan and I seemed like old friends who had known each other for many years.
Young Master Xu, on the other hand, can only hold out his hand and not hit the smiling person. People are complimenting you with every word they say, so you can't really look down on them.
Their location is near the entrance of the red carpet, and there are many media gathered around. This is not a place for talking.
At this time, the organizer's staff came over and told them to prepare to enter.
The process was actually quite boring. Apart from Ji Peng, their group had no reputation abroad at all.
Oh, yes, and Bear Grylls.
Gao Wen wore a gray gauze skirt today. She was very low-key and did not dominate the show. Everyone's attention was also on Ji Peng.
Anyway, Gao Wen's main market is in China, so she can just show off her face here.
The route plan Bai Xuji made for her was very reasonable and did not mean to encourage others.
After that, the red carpet continued, and the opening ceremony followed for nearly two hours.
Well, Xu Chuan slept soundly, so he just thought he was jet lagged.
…
Cannes is quite lively at this time. Not only is there a film festival, but this year's boat show has also arrived at this time.
The organizers also want to see if this kind of exhibition, similar to the Haitian Feast, will have a chemical interaction with the Cannes Film Festival.
After all, the Cannes Film Festival attracts a large number of celebrities from the entertainment and fashion circles, as well as a large number of movie fans.
Many of these people are their target customers, and they are high-quality customers.
These two events brought countless tourists to the small city of Cannes, and prices in hotels, restaurants and other industries more than doubled.
There are various types of yachts and sailing boats docked in the harbor.
From time to time, several supercars and luxury cars worth millions of euros drove past on the coastal road. They parked in front of the best local nightclub, and Middle Eastern tycoons wearing white robes and waving cash came down from them.
Of course, another profession is indispensable for this grand occasion. China now calls these people peripheral women.
Thousands of girls flocked to France, mostly from Eastern Europe, Russia, Serbia and other regions.
The banquet held in Sanya last year was banned because some illegal gatherings were revealed.
But in fact, situations more serious than those in Sanya happen every year in Cannes. No, it's not just Cannes. It happens in any place filled with capital.
"Hey girls, let me tell you the rules again. No smoking here. You can't go near the host's room without permission. And most importantly, you will strictly harass guests without invitation."
In a local high-end hotel in Cannes, a tall, muscular, well-dressed and bearded man was talking to a dozen girls of different styles in front of him about precautions.
There was a girl standing next to him, it was the young Mama Sang whom Max Adams had found in those days.
What's it called? By the way, Amy.
"Sam, where are we going?"
Amy asked immediately after the other party finished speaking. These girls from her agency have been in Cannes for several days, and she still has to pay them even if they don't have a job.
The man named Sam looked at the other person, a hint of tenderness flashed across his originally serious face. It was obvious that he admired the mamasang in front of him.
"We're going to the yacht."
The boat show here attracts wealthy people from all over the world, and he is specifically looking for women for a certain royal family in the Middle East.
A pimp paired with a madam is perfect.
First of all, their work is definitely illegal, so the yacht will sail to the high seas, and no one will control how they play there.
"You still have twenty minutes to change clothes, and a car will pick you up later."
The girls rushed away in excitement and immediately went to change clothes and touch up their makeup.
Amy and Sam looked at each other. The two of them had cooperated several times and already had quite a tacit understanding.
"Hey Sam, what are you doing here?"
A sudden voice sounded at the door of the hotel, interrupting the affectionate conversation between the two people.
This is a white man in his fifties wearing formal attire.
Sam immediately looked away and looked at the visitor, then showed a commercial smile, "Hello, Mr. Epstein, are you here to attend the film festival?"
Amy also smiled, because this was also her client.
The three people chatted in the hotel, completely unaware of the other person who came in behind Mr. Ai Po.
Lynn Fiennes placed a lighter and cigarette case on the counter, and then slowly asked the hotel's front desk if there were any free rooms.
That lighter is actually a camera that can transmit high-definition images to a nearby workstation.
Yes, this Mr. Aibo was targeted by Nikita, who was investigating human trafficking and cultism.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! During this period, Nikita has been investigating the cult incident in the United States, and she has made considerable progress.
And this guy named Epstein is very important and high on her list.
It's just that the investigation revealed a lot of details, so she doesn't dare to alert others now.
Otherwise, she would have kidnapped people and tortured them to extract confessions.
The hotel room was already full, so Fiennes checked out without staying any longer.
However, his goal was achieved and the people in contact with the target were photographed.
Nikita was watching the video images on the computer in a nearby car.
Her boyfriend Michael sent the screenshot of the man and the woman to Umbrella's database, and immediately found the relevant information.
Especially for this woman named Amy, her selfie photos and short videos on Twitter can fully explain her career.
The occupation shown on Sam’s Twitter profile is photographer.
There are many photos of landscapes from all over the world in the space, and the second most popular photo is of him and that Amy.
There is a photography studio to his name.
The photos on this photography studio's website are not landscapes, but large-scale portraits.
Well, this man and this woman are both pimps.
Michael shook his head, "These two people should have nothing to do with what we are investigating."
Nikita, on the other hand, held her chin and thought for a while, "It's better not to jump to conclusions so quickly. Is it too much of a coincidence for Ai Po to see them here?"
Suspicions of spying began to spread. "And the girls in the hands of these two people are probably abducted."
Michael was noncommittal. It didn't matter if he confirmed it anyway. These two were not good people.
Just as he said that, Fiennes opened the door and sat in the car.
"They were organizing a party with at least fifteen girls, and it seemed to be on a yacht."
This news was overheard by Fiennes.
Nikita's eyes lit up, and she immediately took off her coat and got out of the car, "I'll go over and check out the situation."
