In mid-January, less than ten days after the Spring Festival in 2008, Gan Tao, who had been lingering in the small town of Hallstatt under the Alps, had to say goodbye to the snow-capped mountains not far away, the blue lakes, the beautiful town, and the French director Patrice, who benefited a lot during this period, began to return home.

"West, do you think the indigenous people in the town of Halstadt are willing to leave their hometowns and go to big cities like Paris?" On the way to the Alps, Gan Tao asked Patrice's agent curiously.

"Do you have to understand that the French are not Americans who are corrupted by money, and not to mention that the entire Halstadt is a world cultural heritage, so don't make any decisions!"

He curled his lips, "I'm just asking!"

But in my heart, West had already lost all his complaints.

The reason why West was so happy to be a free driver for him during this period was because Patrice praised his performance in "Tengou" and believed that his future achievements would definitely be limitless!

He himself also made it clear that he would enter the three major European film festivals again in two years. Since he wanted to take the lead in acting as an agent for his European agency affairs, he would pretend to be like dirt! It's quite shameful!

"This is a world cultural heritage, and our family is very close to the world cultural heritage." Someone who said the grapes were sour when he couldn't eat the grapes, and turned his head and looked at the town that was gradually moving away. It was quiet and peaceful, with mountains and rivers and flowers every day. The scenery is different all year round, and he really likes it very much.

"Do, come back to China and consider the contract. You know, ICM can help you build a team and expand your international career! This is something I finally fought for." Before flying to Paris, West reminded him.

He nodded without comment and reached out and said, "Okay, thank you West!"

No actor in the world doesn't want to enter the international market. Even he can't even disdain these glorious moments such as the only spotlight hitting the winners of the three major film festivals, the handprints on the Avenue of Stars, and the attention of the Oscars.

But he also understood how much he was.

In 2005, he won the honor of Venice's best actor who has a certain influence abroad. It is a past honor, such as Golden Rooster, Huabiao, etc. Even domestic filmmakers and audiences are complaining, so how can he have any influence abroad?

He has neither a premier artistic film nor a commercial film that has achieved super high box office. How can he be qualified to enter the international market? If he is really bewitched by others and travels to Europe or America, he will probably lose even the domestic market that he has finally established.

The American IM brokerage company is to catch one rabbit, and there is no loss anyway. If you have luck, you can make it back. However, he has a lot of memories in the entertainment industry, but he will not bet. He knows that the road will be difficult, and it is not even more friendly to him, a yellow man.

The ten hours of flying to the capital in Paris ended in his sleep. Before he could walk out of the airport, Zhou Qing called a phone call that surprised him very much.

He was really confused. He had been in France for so long and had never received any news of becoming one of the judges of the 61st Cannes Film Festival.

Of course, his source of information is limited to Patrice. Since Patrice did not mention it, it is obvious that this matter has nothing to do with him. Gan Tao can only blame the good news. The films he has participated in in the past have left some impression on major directors, film critics, investors and other film subordinates in the world!

After all, several judges at the Cannes Film Festival every year are selected by these well-known figures.

After hearing the news, he said to Zhou Qing on the one end of the phone: "I'm going to talk tomorrow. I just got off the plane and took the opportunity to go home and have a sleep before dawn!"

"Wear more clothes, it will snow outside."

"What's so great about snowing? I've been living under the snow mountain for a few days!" He hung up the phone disapprovingly, but as soon as he left the airport, he suddenly made a furious sound and muttered: "It's too cold in Beijing, hurry up and go back to his hometown!"

The southerners say that the dry and cold in the north are the cold, and the northerners say that the wet and cold in the south are the real biting cold. Naturally, he also disliked the cold in the north. He trembled and trotted all the way into the car, and then ran to triumphantly.

When he was plucking the snowflakes on his head and stomping off the snow on his upper, Zhou Qing had already appeared in front of him.

"What's the urgent matter that needs to be so anxious?"

"You have fun in France, but your family has accumulated a lot of things!" Zhou Qing said dissatisfied.

Thinking that he had been staying for a long time this time and was in a good mood when he was having fun, he couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, "When I walked, I'll treat you to breakfast after dawn!"

"Which part do you want to listen to first?"

“What is the box office of The Vote now?”

"A little more than 200 million yuan, even after the Chinese New Year, the domestic box office will not exceed 300 million yuan. Loss is destined, and the investors are willing to give up! However, the global box office can exceed 300 million yuan, but that time is too long to recover!"

"How is the box office in Taipei, Xiangjiang?"

"Taipei's performance is pretty good, and it has been the champion all the time, but it is obviously not realistic to expect such a little bit of waves to make. Xiangjiang currently has a box office of more than 15 million yuan, and it will probably not exceed 20 million yuan until the film is drawn, but this is already very good!"

He was speechless, "Isn't that bad?" He knew that the current Hong Kong film market was in a downturn, but occasionally one or two popular movies would appear, such as "Kung Fu" in 2005, which seemed to have a box office of more than 50 million yuan.

Zhou Qing glanced at him, "If you knew that the box office of "Assembly" in Xiangjiang was only 680,000, you wouldn't have said that!"

"Is it so miserable?"

"Now, Hong Kong is like Taipei, and it is the back garden of Hollywood! Unless Hollywood blockbusters are screened or Zhou Xingxing's movies are shown, no one is willing to go to the cinema!"

After the living room light was turned on, he threw the bags in his hand onto the dining table, hung his coat to the cloakroom, then shrank his head and nodded, "Okay, the "Authority" has come to an end, and you will talk about other things next."

"The first thing is that the program team of "Kangxi is Coming" wants to find you to do a personal program. Don't be too busy talking. I will slowly refuse after I finish all the talk!"

"The second thing is that the program team of "Lu Yu Youyou" invites you to do an interview."

"The third thing is that you have to go to Milan to watch a show after the New Year. After this time, the spokesperson for Armani Asia will be basically stable. This matter is very important. Please consider it carefully!"

"The fourth thing is whether to perform "Very Perfect" or not, you have to give it a clear word and you can't delay it anymore!"

"The fifth thing is that the TV series "Magic Mobile" invested by Tongxin Film and Television Investment Company is officially scheduled to be released on the eighth set of the National Channel. The broadcast time is April 8. Several other investors asked you whether you should participate in the broadcast promotion. This matter must be explained in advance. After all, with you and without you are two propaganda concepts!"

"The sixth thing, yesterday the Xiangjiang Film Association announced the shortlisted film of the 27th Xiangjiang Film Awards. You were nominated for the Best Supporting Actor with "The Vote". The award ceremony will be held on April 13!"

"The seventh thing is that the later stage of "Painted Skin" has been done, and several investors want to sit down and discuss the release time and investment in early publicity!"

"The eighth thing is that after the New Year, Bubugao will have to book more than ten days to shoot the new mobile phone advertisement next year!"

"The ninth thing,..."

Before Zhou Qing's ninth incident could be discussed, Gan Tao, who had been lying on the sofa, hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Stop, stop, stop quickly, my head hurts!"

He has always claimed to be an actor, an actor who does not worry about external things and focuses on training his personal professional abilities, especially when he has unity and does not have to deal with those dirty things; after he has money, he does not have to worry about his personal financial situation, and even thinks that he can focus on polishing his acting skills, but now the development of things is obviously in the opposite direction from the original idea.

"The rest is basically the first half of the year. Let's do it one by one?" Zhou Qing sat down next to him with a smile on her face.

Unlike Gan Tao's sighing to the sky, Zhou Qing was very happy. An actor can be remembered by various brand owners and directors, which only means that this person is popular and can not be killed by the back waves on the beach.

"What else can I do? I won't go to interviews or something. I refuse to drop "Very Perfect". Milan takes time to go there. I don't participate in the promotion of "Magic Mobile". Bubugao has been working together for so many years. You have finalized the specific time to notify me. The release time of "Painted Skin" will be discussed by Tongxin. It is not my personal investment. As for the remaining endorsement invitations, I won't accept it!"

He spitted and flew across the water and cut the mess, and Zhou Qing's face turned blue.

"I'm sure not to participate in "Very Perfect"? The other party is very sincere! What's more, he is a partner with Zhang Ziyi!"

"I have finished reading the script of "Very Perfect". In my opinion, this script was written for Zhang Ziyi. The two male protagonists are all foils. We should also pay attention to the male lead. We can't always match them!"

"I didn't often match them!" Zhou Qing frowned and retorted.

"Come on, I'll do it for you. "Suzhou River" matches Zhou Xun, "Purple Butterfly" matches Zhang Ziyi, "The Legend of the Famous" matches Li and Liu, "Painted Skin" is fine, but it's just a fair relationship with Zhou and Zhao. We didn't have much fame before, and we didn't have any works, so forget it. Now I'm also a top male actor in the entertainment industry in the mainland. Is it a bit of a loss of points to match them?"

Lying on the sofa, he counted his fingers and taught Zhou Qing earnestly.

"What do you want to do? There is no good script, I don't like poor scripts, and I don't accept endorsements. I've only been a judge of the Cannes Film Festival in the first half of the year?"

"And, no one can find this matter with lanterns. What else do you want?"

"It's indeed a good thing, but you can't have no income for a year!"

"I'll talk about this later. If it's okay, I'll go to bed. I'm not allowed to call me during the day, take a day off, and go back to my hometown tomorrow!"

"Oh, yes, yes, go to bed!"

Looking at Zhou Qing with a little temper leaving, he was lying on the sofa and slowly turned over and sat up, then lamented, "Nian, if everything has not changed, what attitude should he use to face this 2008 year!"
