Chapter 150 Sophie Marceau(1/2)
Luc Besson is very heroic.
He held a reception for "Bad Guys" and directly spent 700,000 euros to book the backyard banquet hall of the majestic Baril Hotel.
There are also a lot of people invited, with a list of nearly 300 people.
The banquet mode is the simplest buffet. On the left are several long tables with exquisite pastries and food, and on the right are several salons, separated by bead curtains.
Soothing light music was playing at the scene, and people coming and going were communicating with each other; in an orderly scene, waiters were walking around among the crowd carrying wine trays, providing services.
"Hi, Director Lehmann, Mr. Luc Besson."
Not long after the banquet started, Luc Besson took him to greet a group of jury members, and then more people came to them.
Especially the film producers from all over the world are even more enthusiastic.
In the salon area, a group of people were surrounding them.
"Lehmann, this is Park Soo-hyun, from South Korea, this is Gremain Terry, from Chile, this is Saeed Ali Mohammed, from Kuwait..." Luc Bay
Song took the lead in introducing.
Upon hearing this, Lyman smiled and shook hands with these people one by one.
Luc Besson had told him before that in addition to introducing him to some connections, tonight their mission was also to sell films.
Um, something feels wrong. Selling movies?
No matter so much, maybe you have also discovered that none of the people just introduced has a formalized and prosperous film market in the country, so naturally, Europa Film's distribution channels cannot be established.
In fact, even if it can be established, it is still a thankless task.
After all, the film markets in these countries and regions are limited, and wasting manpower and material resources to establish offices will not be very effective.
Therefore, most film manufacturers use similar networking receptions to sell all distribution rights at once.
This is why so many film festivals such as Cannes, Berlin and later generations flourished.
They need a place like this for their transactions.
"Director Lehmann, your last film was very impressive, and the response from us was very good. I hope to cooperate with you again this time." Saeed Ali Mohammed from Kuwait said with a smile.
Characteristic regional style of English speaking.
"Thank you." Lyman said politely.
But it's not his business, he just came here to make a scene.
Upon hearing this, the marketing department staff of Europa Pictures on the side took people inside to discuss the details of selling the film in more detail.
"Everyone, excuse me, there are guests over there who need us to entertain." Luc Besson saw that everyone was willing and related matters needed to be discussed, so he took Lyman back outside. Naturally, someone has made arrangements here.
...
Halfway through the reception, Lehmann followed Luc Besson closely with a wine glass in hand, and he led him to make friends with industry practitioners one after another.
After finally dealing with it for another round, Lyman quickly left.
Luc Besson didn't say anything. He just expressed concern for him and then went back to his own business.
Looking at the field, Ryan and Thomas stood together and didn't know what they were talking about; James Wan was talking eagerly with a group of Australian film producers; Eva Green was sitting on a lounge chair,
I was admiring the sea view. There was a beach not far behind the banquet hall, and it was really beautiful with the lights at night.
Lyman walked towards Ryan and suddenly saw Lou Ye, followed by Zhang Ziyi.
Oh, by the way, he was also shortlisted for the main competition this year. The movie is called "Purple Butterfly", starring the international chapter next to him.
Lyman was quite interested in them.
Seeing this, he brought a glass of champagne from the passing waiter, walked over to them, and greeted them with a smile.
"Director Lou, hello."
Lou Ye was walking in when a ghost with chestnut hair and blue eyes suddenly popped out and smiled at him. He subconsciously stopped.
The international seal beside him reminded him that the person opposite was greeting him.
"hello, hello..."
Director Lou can still speak simple everyday spoken language.
"Congratulations on your film being shortlisted for competition."
"thinkyou..."
The two chatted casually for a few words, and Lyman took the initiative to leave.
He was not particularly interested in Lou Ye, but in the International Chapter next to him.
After all, this kind of sixth-generation director who always shoots sensitive subjects and claims to reveal the true features of China is really not looked down upon by him.
However, it is rare to see the relatively young Empress Zhang. If nothing else, looking at her from a distance, her temperament is quite gentle.
I don't know if it's an illusion.
...
"Hey, what are you two talking about?"
After parting ways with International Zhang, seeing Ryan and Thomas chatting eagerly, he also asked.
"Did you see that person?" Ryan hugged Lyman and pointed to a corner of the banquet hall.
Lyman followed his gaze and noticed a woman leaning alone on the railing.
Her long dark brown hair is slightly curly, and she wears a light blue dress that cannot hide her exquisite figure.
"Who is that?" Lyman asked doubtfully.
"Sophie Marceau." Thomas answered this time.
Oh, it turned out to be her. No wonder the two people kept discussing it.
When it comes to who the current goddess is in the hearts of the French people, Sophie Marceau is a candidate who absolutely cannot escape.
"Is it really her?"
"Of course, I saw the face. I can't be wrong about that appearance." Ryan said with certainty.
"You want to strike up a conversation?" Lyman asked, raising his eyebrows.
"I just tried it." Ryan said coldly.
Well, this looks like a failure.
Lyman was about to say something when Ryan asked, "Are you interested in her?"
"Well, I've always had a crush on her."
...
What Lehmann said is true. Unlike the French whose impression of her was based on the screen roles she created one after another, Lehmann's original intention was just a hormonal impulse when she was young, and she watched a few very good movies.
A distinctive film.
For this reason, he even went to find the DVD to buy it and collect it.
People are always superficial, not to mention that in my previous life, there were few channels for paying attention to and understanding foreign actors.
The only way is through the DVDs secretly hidden in those beautiful youth years.
Eva Green, Monica Bellucci, Sophie Marceau...he can name many names like this.
It is also the object of fantasy when adolescent hormones have nowhere to be released.
Men, it is easy for the lower body to control the brain.
They filled those hormonal years for us with the classic roles they played in adolescence.
Adolescence will pass soon, but the memories of youth will become more profound as we grow up.
In those years of ignorance and high desire, the impression of the goddess remained in my heart, which naturally brought about a good impression.
What's more, she is really beautiful.
It also proves to us that aesthetic differences can be defeated in the face of real beauty.
At this point, French men and Chinese men reached a united front for the first time.
Cheers to beauty control.
...
The three of them were chatting, a topic that belonged to men.
But someone interrupted their conversation.
"Hey, Lyman, I need to talk to you about something."
It was George who spoke.
He was also one of the people responsible for selling the film just now.
"What's up?"
To be continued...
