Chapter 166 Crowds of people

In the hotel suite, Finn and several LV staff members were trying on clothes for Rong Guang.

"Dear Mr. Finn, if my memory is correct, my endorsement contract with LV has expired, right?" Rong Guang sneered in his heart.

"Dear Mr. Rong, this is a free service that our LV provides to you as an exception. You should feel extremely honored." Finn counterattacked politely.

"What about the endorsement fee? Do you think that the proud Gallic rooster wants to have sex for nothing? Will he bully an honest man like me? Do you still have the nerve to see His Majesty Emperor Napoleon?"

"Sir, I'm Austrian!" Finn didn't want to pay attention to this Chinese scoundrel at all. How can he be such an honest person?

If "Parasite" hadn't been about to premiere in Cannes, and if LV headquarters hadn't issued a direct order, would Phin possibly have gotten in the way? He just wanted to throw the measuring tape directly in the face of this Chinese scoundrel.

In fact, Rong Guang didn't care about the endorsement fee, nor would he refuse LV's free services. He just couldn't stand the capitalist's face, so he took the opportunity to make some sarcastic remarks.

Of course, it would also be fun to tease this little old Austrian man.

It should be said that the current market value of Rongguang is a worldwide mathematical problem!

If Rong Guang simply chooses to go abroad, whether to develop in Hollywood or in Hong Kong and Taiwan, then it will be easier. The only thing is to estimate his commercial value according to the existing formula.

But Rong Guang just said no! He was an iron-headed boy and wanted to stay in China and develop.

Since there is no way to promote domestically and Rong Guang's films cannot be released, generally speaking, the commercial value is approximately zero.

But the factor of piracy is not considered at all here. Lightning is very famous in China. Not to mention Rong Guang is a national star, right? At least he has become one of the first and second-tier stars in the mainland.

In addition, overseas factors need to be considered. It is no exaggeration to say that Rong Guang, the most famous Chinese director and star in the world, can be ranked among the top five.

However, what makes people vomit blood even more is that the "most famous" is half a genius and half a notorious person; half is sought after by action movie enthusiasts, and the other half is the collective smear campaign by European, American, Hong Kong and Taiwan media?

How to estimate such commercial value? Therefore, for top luxury brands like LV, they simply put it in cold storage for the time being. They would rather delay it than take risks!



At the premiere, there was a huge crowd of moviegoers, most of whom were female fans holding Leonardo posters high.

Interestingly, DiCaprio will not appear at all today. After attending the opening ceremony, he immediately rushed around to participate in business activities in various European countries. He will not return to Cannes again until the closing ceremony of the film festival.

On such an occasion, Harvey Weinstein would not steal the spotlight. He had already accompanied some heavyweights and entered the premiere in advance.

The person standing at the door to welcome him was the creator of the show. Oliver Stone was beaming with joy and waved around frequently. But there was a trace of uneasiness between his eyebrows. Although the internal test screening was successful, it still depends on whether the premiere will be successful.

success.

On the side, Rong Guang hugged Theron, and the two of them were chatting.

Rong Guang actually doesn't care about such an occasion. He doesn't even want to participate in the film festival. Today is definitely Oliver Stone's festival, and the media's focus will definitely be on him. He is nothing more than a background, which will become boring.

.

If it weren't for the clause in the contract that Rong Guang needed to cooperate with the promotion of the film, he wouldn't have come at all.

"Theron, how does it feel to be in Cannes?"

"Leonardo is a nuclear warhead. All the women are going crazy." Theron said with a sweet smile. She was still a little nervous, after all, this was her first major film.

"Don't worry. You will also be popular tomorrow morning."

"Really? Will "Parasite" really be a success?" Theron's eyes flickered, but he was still a little worried, "I heard that Europe has discrimination against Hollywood movies!"

"Haha. I'm the screenwriter!"

"Yes! I hope you are right. If we succeed, I will... kiss you in public when we walk on the red carpet at the closing ceremony! Hahaha."

Rong Guang rolled his eyes. The blond Yangma is so open-minded that he even dares to raise such a flag? If it really happens then...? It seems like I have no problem, right?

It's just a joke anyway.

Finally, when the premiere started, Oliver Stone was still very popular, and the venue was already crowded with reporters from various countries.

The video officially begins:

William (starring Leonardo) and his family live in a slum in the city. The semi-basement is their home. The so-called semi-basement is higher than the real basement. Therefore, it has windows and is flush with the road.

The security management here must be very chaotic. You can often see prostitutes, drug addicts, and even illegal transactions. Especially every night, when the homeless people passing by stand outside the window to urinate, the William family sitting at home feels like someone is there.

The illusion of peeing on the head.

William's family is a standard white red-neck family. His father is a Marine Corps veteran, and his mother is a former shot put player. They also have a son and a daughter. Their parents have been unemployed for a long time, and their children can't find jobs either. The family of four can only do odd jobs to support themselves.

born.

In the dialogue of the characters in the film, the hardships of the lower class white people in the United States are explained.

Veterans are equal to unemployment, ordinary athletes are equal to unemployment when they retire, and they have no skills at all. And the son and daughter are ordinary college students, they are also equal to unemployment after graduation, and they cannot find a long-term and stable job.

It should be admitted here that Oliver Stone is indeed quite powerful. In just a few shots, the relationship between the characters is clearly explained, and a certain despair is also expressed - the lower-class white families are facing never-ending unemployment!

I can't find a way out.

And the localized adaptation was also very successful. It was also in line with the social conditions in Europe and the United States - the solidification of classes!

Therefore, as soon as the film started, it immediately caught the attention of all viewers!

The video continues:

However, there is no end to the road, and suddenly there is a turning point.

William has a college best friend, Mike, who likes to collect stones. There are so many stones in his home that he can't even put them down. This shows that Mike's family is relatively well off.

Mike was originally a tutor for Mr. Li (Rong Guang)'s family, responsible for tutoring Mr. Li's daughter. But because Mike was going to New York to study for graduate school, he fell in love with Mr. Li's daughter. So he chose to trust his best friend William to take care of him on his behalf.

My future girlfriend.
