The hotel's cigar room.

A standing lamp with a hanging lampshade is erected between two brown leather single sofas. On the wooden cabinets on both sides are bottles of red wine. Warm spotlights shine on it, creating a soft halo.

The dim light and shadow above the head shines on the face, creating a top-light effect.

A black porcelain cigar ashtray with the Hermès logo is placed on a solid wood table between the two sofas, with a few bottles of champagne and white and red wine in an iron ice bucket next to it.

"I didn't expect that you guys actually know each other?"

On the sofa, Stallone, who has broad shoulders and a broad back, is wearing a vest and has two exposed arms. His muscles are knotted like fine steel, his blood vessels are bulging, showing the beauty of strength, and his chest is bulging.

He looks like a big-muscled guy, although this big-muscled guy is only 178CM... He can't stand the bigness!

The stout-looking Director Wu sat next to him, obviously a size smaller.

Fortunately, Wu Xiaozu is really handsome. He can dim the luster of Stallone, a muscular tycoon, by just using his face. As he has matured for several years, his charm has greatly increased. Coupled with his Qi and body,

The entire popularity has also changed drastically.

With his semi-long hair and stubble, he looks like an enhanced version of ‘Old Li’.

Well, this 'Lee' is the 'Lee' of Keanu Reeves and Leonardo DiCaprio, definitely not the Lee of 'Brother Li'...

The name of the beautiful ancestor is well-deserved.

The half-bald strongman Kai Huang... Nicolas Cage sat on the sofa opposite, holding a long mound between his fingers, with two or three centimeters of eggplant ash remaining. He pursed his lips, showing a very friendly smile, and two deep nasolabial folds.

With a deep and magnetic voice, she smiled and said: "Sylvie, John and I have known each other for a long time. You may not know that the movie "Sex, Lies and Videotape" I acted in before was invested and produced by John.

of……"

"John has been active in North America for a long time (he founded a company in Chapter 802). He even had his own small production company in Burbank very early." Harvey Weinstein slumped on the sofa, his shirt buttoned

It was forcibly pulled open, exposing the fat on the belly.

Zhang Jiazhen politely opened a bottle of red wine with a seahorse knife. When he heard Harvey's words, he glanced at Mr. Wu intentionally or unintentionally.

Although they all know that this Jew is ambitious, the words just now really show that they are familiar with "Emotional Intelligence".

Another way to put the sentence just now is: Although John is an Asian director, he is actually half-Hollywood.

Being a member of your own family is extremely important to a foreigner.

Not to mention working across the country, you may still encounter vague barriers from the locals when you go to work in a different place, right? What’s more, going to someone else’s territory to seek to enter a circle?

Why was Wu Zhagou qualified to negotiate terms with Cai Songlin, the capital of Wanwan, and then become the "leading party"?

A big reason for this is because Wu Xiaozu was a member of the Hong Kong community at the time.

These three words are of little use to our own people, but to outsiders... they are so important!!!!

Everyone who goes to Hollywood, from European directors to Mexican heroes, everyone is trying their best to integrate into the mainstream circle of Hollywood.

For example, Li Min, if he was not a Hollywood insider, would he be so successful?

No, that's for sure.

Regardless of the purpose of Harvey's words, or whether this person will receive a lot of bad reviews in later generations, the fact that he can stand in the Hollywood circle with his independent films is enough to show that he is not just a rude, irritable, brainless, and emotionally intelligent bastard.

!

If this later villain had not come into contact with the interests of the Big Six in Hollywood, and if the political correctness of the affirmative action movement was gaining momentum in Hollywood... Harvey might have been able to continue on his path.

Stallone took a puff of his cigar, and the dark light hit his face, making him confused.

This big-muscled tyrant is not a simple-minded guy with well-developed limbs. Otherwise, if Hollywood is full of muscular guys, why would he be able to stand out?

This is a talented muscular tyrant with an IQ of 160 who can write and act on his own!

Was it really a chance encounter between him and Wu Xiaozu today?

Just look at the live lineup and you will understand.

This guy is definitely prepared.

"Hmm -" Zhang Jiazhen smiled and pulled out the cork and poured it into the decanter, "This 45-year-old red wine is really rare."

"I know that John has collected a lot of red wine from good vintages at his estate in Santa Barbara, but I didn't expect that you can drink such excellent wine in Cannes." Harvey helped with a smile, and the flesh in the gap in his shirt trembled with a smile.

He is not yet the "Red Sofa Boss" of later generations. He is just on the road to success. In fact, he is still thinking about Wu Xiaozu's "capital". After all, when making movies in Hollywood, financing channels is also a science.

"Oh? You also live in Santa Barbara?" Stallone twitched the corner of his left eye and looked at Wu Xiaozu with a cold smile.

It’s no wonder those film critics have always disliked him.

The movies he starred in have never been nominated for mainstream American film awards. The most glorious experience may be that he won two Golden Globe Award nominations for "Rocky" in 1977. However, the Golden Globe Awards do not represent the mainstream views of American films...

That was hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association…

"It's a nice place. I like the quiet atmosphere very much." Wu Xiaozu rolled the cigar in his hand and chuckled. "After all, there are far fewer paparazzi there than in Beverly and Santa Monica..."

"Okay, I agree with you."

Stallone shrugged, glanced at the sincere face of the other party, lowered his head and took a puff of the cigar. In the smoke, his face flickered, "But, forgive me for being offended, I rarely watch Asian movies...Before this, it wasn't too much."

Getting to know you..."

"John is a great director and producer."

Cage smiled and said: "I didn't expect to meet him in Cannes before. To be honest...had I known, I might have reminded David that there is a strong enemy here."

Everyone knows that David Fincher's "Wild at Heart" is the seed candidate for this Palme d'Or.

However, it is understandable that Wu Xiaozu's reputation in Cannes is not small.

"Of course, the several screenings of "Seven Sins" have been very good. It has received praise from many film critics. It received a high score of 3.0 in the program hosted by "Daily Screen", which is higher than that of "My Heart Is Crazy" in the same period last year.

"Wild"'s score of 2.6 is even slightly higher." Harvey smiled and took a sip of the red wine in his glass.

The scoring review team for the Cannes program comes from France, Italy, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States, and most of them come from professional media such as Time Magazine, Daily Mail, Los Angeles Times, Sight & Sound, and Feature Film.

In fact, under the premise of a full score of 4.0, the screening scores of the two movies "Seven Sins" and "Wild at Heart" are considered very excellent. After all, in the history of screenings, a few points, a few points, a few points,

It's everywhere.

"The score for the program does not count."

Wu Xiaozu shook his head with a smile, "This score can only represent the personal tastes of these invited film critics. It does not represent the quality of the film, nor can it be an element in predicting whether the film will win an award..."

He smiled and poured a third of the red wine for Stallone and joked: "There is a 'non-linear relationship' between the venue score and the final award. Besides, I also like Cage starring in "Wild at Heart"

》.”

"I think I should go see one tomorrow." Stallone smiled, nodded his thanks, and had a drink with him.

"That's my honor." Wu Xiaozu nodded slightly and didn't say much else.

He really wants to integrate into the circle, especially the American independent film circle.

Don’t think that Stallone, the muscular tyrant in front of you, is just an ordinary action star.

He actually has a very wide network of contacts in the American independent film circle. As for Nicolas Cage, he was still hanging around in the independent film circle at this time and had not really fully entered the eyes of mainstream audiences. Not to mention Harvey, an old pervert.

Still the same sentence.

Wu Xiaozu intends to build his own network, but he still needs to prove himself to Big Seven for the time being.

In the 1990s, the independent film industry in the United States was a blue ocean. Before that, old guys like Woody Allen only regarded independent films as a place for self-pleasure, which was quite niche... In the early 1990s, independent films really began to make their fortune and show their talents.

Bring out your own unique potential of 'small but big'.

This led to the emergence of Good Machine (the predecessor of Focus Films), Lakeshore Pictures, Lionsgate Pictures, Summit Entertainment, New Line Cinema, Relativity Entertainment and the famous DreamWorks!

Although they could not escape the clutches of giants later, they also proved the potential of independent films in the 1990s.

This time I met Stallone, which meant that we all formed a good relationship.

At the same time, this guy has good relations with Italian and French filmmakers, but at the same time, he is not so distinct.

The Australian gang and the British gang in Hollywood are all things that happened a few years ago.

At this time, the Italian Gang, the Maple Leaf Gang and the Jewish Gang were considered the mainstream.

"How was the filming of "The Lover" in Vietnam?" Nicolas Cage, a literary young man, asked excitedly, "I love this novel by Duras so much."

"I just received a call from Mr. Claude Berry, urging me to return to Saigon as soon as possible." Wu Xiaozu asked knowingly: "Sylvie, your "Rambo 2" was in..."

"Oh, I've never been to Vietnam. My movie was filmed in Canada... You know, it's not a good idea for us to go to Vietnam." Stallone said with a shrug.

A few people chatted for a few words, and each had their own arrangements.

Even the 1945 bottle of red wine went away without drinking.

"I'll say hello to Sylvie for you." Harvey took the initiative and whispered.

"Thank you, Harvey."

"We are partners, aren't we?" Harvey smiled very seriously.

All right.

In fact, the U.S. distribution of "Seven Sins" was handed over to Miramax Pictures.
