Chapter 550 A 4,000-word chapter on anecdotes in Cannes

Zhao Hong and Jiang Zhiqiang went to Cannes on April 13th. The main reason was that the movie "The Bridge of Lost Dreams" participated by DreamWorks was entered into the main competition of Cannes.

Haha, actually these are not the main purpose. The purpose is to go on a date with Sophie. He made an appointment with her to meet in Cannes last year.

So after he came to Cannes, he didn't care about anything. Apart from surfing on the sea, he spent the rest of the time surfing in the hotel. This feeling was really enjoyable.

This can be regarded as a little bit of craziness before filming "The Wind"!

"Hong, I didn't expect you to actually come. I thought you didn't have time to come?" When Sophie saw Zhao Hong for the first time, she was a little unbelievable.

She has been filming in Hollywood during this time, and it is the movie "Die Hard" that Zhao Hong created for Big Nose. The filming of this movie started last year, and the investment was made by DreamWorks, MGM, United Artists and Golden Harvest.

Produced (although Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and United Artists were acquired by DreamWorks, they are not affiliated with DreamWorks Pictures).

Among them, Jiahe is only qualified to share the box office and nothing else. However, Zou Daheng is also very satisfied. This project is much better than the projects he invested in Hollywood before. He believes that this is a gold mine.

Cheng Long also got his wish and was cast as a male pig trotter in a Hollywood A-level production. Many Hong Kong artists were envious of this news. Some actors from DreamWorks also appeared in this movie.

In fact, in the past two years, movies produced by MGM and United Artists have occasionally featured several Chinese Americans. Zhao Hong likes to slowly penetrate them in this way, so that Chinese Americans can become more natural in Hollywood movies.

After the millennium of the original time and space, many Hollywood movies added many Chinese characters in order to enter the vast mainland market, but they felt a bit nondescript.

Many characters were forced in. Even if the movie does not have this character, there is no problem at all. It is a special edition. This thing is only released in mainland China and is cut out in other places.

This shows from the side how discriminatory they are against Chinese people in Hollywood.

Many films originally needed yellow people, but they always replaced them with black people.

Very sad!

Besides, the roles of yellow people are generally occupied by Japanese, and their influence in Hollywood is also quite large. They will make a big move this year and acquire Columbia from the Coca-Cola Company.

The current Japanese capital is quite crazy. Since September 1985, the finance ministers of the United States, Germany, Japan, France, and the United Kingdom signed the "Plaza Accord" and decided to agree to the devaluation of the U.S. dollar.

In order to stimulate the development of the Japanese economy, the Central Bank of Japan adopted very loose financial policies to encourage the inflow of funds into the real estate and stock markets, causing real estate prices to skyrocket.

After the depreciation of the U.S. dollar (a large amount of additional U.S. dollars was issued), a large amount of international capital entered Japan's real estate industry, further stimulating the rise in housing prices. Tempted by the sudden increase in housing prices, many Japanese began to lose patience.

They found that they could make money faster by speculating in stocks and real estate, so they took out their bank savings to speculate.

As of this year, real estate prices in Japan have soared to ridiculous levels.

According to statistics from relevant organizations, Japan, which has a land area equivalent to the state of California in the United States, has a total land value equivalent to four times that of the entire United States.

Zhao Hong knew that next year it would be even worse, and the land price in Tokyo alone would be equivalent to the total land price in the United States.

They once boasted that they would buy the entire United States.

It can be said that the Japanese are currently synonymous with wealthy people in the world. As long as they travel abroad, they will be shopping for goods in the streets and buying all kinds of things.

But this is also the end of their madness. Zhao Hong is currently arranging for the real estate projects developed by DreamWorks and Su's Real Estate to begin to be completed, and Zengqi will all withdraw next year.

As for the investment in Japan's financial sector, it will also be slowly withdrawn. It can be said that DreamWorks has made a huge profit from Japan's Plaza Accord.

In order not to become the last leek, Zhao Hong came out more than a year in advance, so that it would not affect the hot market at all. At present, Japan's economy is optimistic about everything, and many people are willing to pay with banknotes.

In fact, there are already many financial giants in the current Japanese financial market, and the water inside is very deep. Zhao Hong does not want to escape at the last moment, because he will not know how he will die by then.

Leaving the scene early is the wisest choice. As the saying goes, "When the devil enters the village, the one who shoots will not be there."

Isn’t it nice to make money without even realizing it?

Furthermore, if I leave the market after making the last copper, this will make the Japanese government resentful. They may be helpless with the capital that has a big backing in the United States, but it is still suspicious to want to cause some pain to DreamWorks.

When their interests are not involved, these capitalist countries are all gentlemen. If their interests are violated, they will instantly turn into wolves and cheetahs.

He expressed great fear!

One of the reasons why Zhao Hong has been able to develop steadily since he has been in business is the word "stable". Even though he has such good resources as his own bank, he has not used them. He has developed them entirely by his own company. In this way, although there are no big experts

He did all kinds of things and became the richest man in the world in a few years, but the advantage was comfort and stability.

It’s not that there are no other capitals that want to cause trouble, but as the saying goes, ‘The fly won’t bite the seamless egg.’ If you have achieved Hunyuanruyi, no matter how they try to make trouble, it won’t help!

Zhao Hong estimates that DreamWorks will not be short of funds in the next two or three years. It is easy to operate tens of billions of dollars in this wave of operations in Japan. This will be helpful for the current increase in hotel investment and the construction of many large-scale projects in Tianshuiwei.

DreamWorks is so important.

He found that it was better to develop on his own when he was rich. This way, his own foundation would be very solid. Only in this way would the development of DreamWorks become more and more advantageous.

Furthermore, DreamWorks' shipping company is also currently in a state of expansion. Taking advantage of the fact that shipping is still at a low point, it is vigorously arming itself. It is currently planning to customize 20 or 30 ships in batches at some shipyards in the mainland. There are also plans to

Many places invest in freight terminals, which require large amounts of capital investment.

Zhao Hong still remembered that Li Chaoren was aggressively planning the shipping industry in the original time and space. His approach was to build docks aggressively, and in the end he made a lot of money.

He also has this opportunity now and of course he won't let it go.

It can be said that although we made a lot of money on the Plaza Accord, not a single penny was redundant!

The industries currently deployed are all industries that require huge investments, but they are not like light-duty projects such as games, comics, toys, etc., but are projects that require large sums of money to bear fruit.

As long as the layout of these projects is completed, DreamWorks can breathe a sigh of relief.

By the turn of the millennium, we can start to establish jewelry companies and invest in the mainland's Internet industry, as well as lay out the mainland's cinema lines. After completion, the DreamWorks empire will be basically formed.

Zhao Hong hugged her in his arms and said, "Wow, how is that possible! As long as I promise, I will definitely implement it."

"Well, this is what you Chinese call 'a promise of a thousand gold'?" Sophie said happily.

"Okay, Sophie, your Chinese really impresses me." Zhao Hong said exaggeratedly.

"Well, of course, I found that my language talent had been buried before." Sophie said very arrogantly, not forgetting to give her a kiss when she said it.

"Did you miss me?" After the two exchanged a few words, they became inseparable. Zhao Hong blew a breath into her ear gently and then said.

Sophie trembled, and then murmured: "Think about it, think about it every day, think about it every night...shall we go to bed?"

"OK!"

A princess walked firmly towards the bedroom.

"The wind is rustling and the water is cold. Once the strong man is gone, he will never return. The sound of the feathers will be generous again, and the men will all be angry, and their hair will reach the top of their fingertips."



Zhao Hong felt a wild charm in Sophie that he could not feel in other places. He liked Sophie so much that her development in Hollywood was well protected.

There is no nonsense. She can choose movie roles from the two giants of Hollywood, MGM and United Artists, and there are more than a dozen bodyguards to protect her at any time, either openly or covertly.

"..., Hong, you don't know that the directors and producers in Hollywood are very kind to me. You are so awesome!"

"..., Hong, you don't know that I met an actor in Hollywood. During the intimate scene, he wanted me to appear in real life. In the end, he didn't come to the set the next day to report. You are so powerful!"



When Zhao Hong saw Sophie's adoring eyes and her mouth filled with words of admiration, he felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart and felt so full of energy that they didn't go to bed until three o'clock every night.

Sophie was listless during the daytime promotions, which made Mr. Godard very depressed and a little envious in his heart. It's great to be young!

Regarding the situation of Zhao Hong coming to Cannes, Jiang Zhiqiang knew very well that he had to handle many things by himself. Seeing the life of his boss, he was envious and jealous!

But he had no choice but to continue with the promotion. He had to communicate with various film producers, hold DreamWorks dinners and other events, which kept him busy.

Even holding a girl's card, he was powerless.

At this time, many beautiful girls who came to Cannes had no room to stay in, mainly because it was too expensive and they couldn't afford it, so there were many off-site offers.

They live in the same room. As long as you want a girl, it's easy. They can stay with you for a few days and play whatever you want.

Every year, many wealthy people come here to hunt for adventure, which is also a highlight of Cannes.

Mr. Godard is getting older and stronger. He is almost sixty years old now, but he is still very energetic in making movies and his thinking is also very active.

He likes to communicate with Zhao Hong very much. Although the two people have different shooting styles, they can still discuss many techniques.

It is said that the film "The Bridge of Lost Dreams" has a good screening score of 3.2. Among them, Sophie is highly praised as the best actress in Cannes and she is very famous in France.

After the movie "The Bridge of Lost Dreams" was released, fans came to watch it in an endless stream, and Sophie's acting skills were also recognized by everyone.

Started to transition from a vase to an actor.

Sophie subscribes to relevant newspapers every day. Whenever she sees comments that praise her, she jumps with excitement. Sometimes she gets inexplicably excited. Only when she vents can she be honest.

Zhao Hong became a vent, he was so sad, he was so sad!

He was so impressed that he turned into an inflatable tool. How could he bear it? He could only return it twice as much!

"...The winner of the Best Actress award is Meryl Streep in "Cries in the Dark"..."

This was the situation at the closing ceremony of Cannes, when the Best Actress was awarded. Zhao Hong was very worried around Sophie that she would not be able to withstand this blow.

True to the saying, if you are popular, you will die. In her previous situation, she was extremely hot, but it is normal that she could not win the award, because generally judges will not follow the crowd unless your own performance has become incompetent.

Can be picky.

Furthermore, Sophie's acting skills in "The Bridge of Dreams" were only passable, and many of them were budding in places where the French thought they should be exposed, which made them quite critical. A number of other factors combined, and the actress was not awarded the award.

It's also very understandable.

Sophie felt that all the energy and energy in her body had been drained away. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and did not show any signs of rudeness, but her heart was filled with panic. Fortunately, Zhao Hong was holding her hand tightly.

, she felt much better.

Finally, when the Palme d'Or was announced, "The Bridge of Dreams" successfully won this important award. Mr. Godard was very excited and gave a speech of thanks on the stage, in which Zhao Hong was mentioned, thanking him for such a wonderful work.

Leave the subject matter to your own direction.

Zhao Hong kept smiling throughout the whole process.

It is true that it is not easy for a good director to find a good subject. Sometimes good screenwriters are even rarer than good directors, and high-quality content is always the target of competition in the market.

The whole crew is happy and excited, the Palme d'Or belongs to the whole crew, they all feel honored, and it is also of great benefit to their own development.

As for the film "Sex, Lies and Videotape" that won the Palme d'Or in the original space, this time it only won a jury award and shared the fruit with "Cinema Paradiso".

In fact, it is understandable. "Sex, Lies and Videotape" is a Hollywood movie, and being a little discriminatory about it is politically correct in Europe.

"Why, are you still sad that you didn't get the Best Actress?" After Zhao Hong and the others attended the Cannes dinner, they returned to the room at twelve o'clock in the evening.

Sophie seemed even more crazy during the interaction between the two. After turning into a puddle of mud, the two were dependent on each other.

"No, it's just a little sad that we have to be separated again." She has to report to the Hollywood crew tomorrow, and it will take more than a month for "Die Hard" to be completed.
Chapter completed!
