In May 1998, the small town of Cannes in southern France.

Bai Quinn was finally able to lie quietly on the beach and spend time. Looking back, he could only enjoy such leisurely time when he had just moved to Santa Monica and the period when "The Legend of the Wicked" had not been released.

Later, he earned more and more money, but his spare time was less and less. He was like a machine. If he hadn't come to participate in the Cannes Film Festival this time, he wouldn't have spared so much time to relax for himself.

On the recliner next to it is Eva Green, who acts as a translator. The light green bikini shows off her beautiful figure and covers her face with a sun hat. Judging from the steady breathing, the girl was tossed hard yesterday and was resting her sleep.

Bai Quinn knew that Hannah should be squatting not far behind him, curling into a ball, covering her body with a bath towel. The large amount of bare skin made Hannah feel uncomfortable, but it was impossible to wear a hoodie on the beach, so Hannah should be very uncomfortable at this time.

Lina also rarely had a vacation, and she might hook up with a little star or a model in a bar.

During the film festival, hundreds of thousands of people suddenly flocked to this small coastal town, and many young people from all over the world came here, hoping to get the opportunity to become famous overnight.

Lina's pass marked as "buyer" has become the key to her being able to do everything she can in love. Some girls who were originally straight girls don't mind trying it with her, and maybe they will have the chance to be attracted by the producers.

Not far away on the sea, Chris was performing a yacht in the daytime to test Dennis Richards' enlarged shock absorption system.

Not long ago, Bai Quinn helped Chris get the role of Dennis Richards in the latest 007 film through the relationship between Time Warner and MGM shareholders, retired media tycoon Ted Turner.

Mr. Ted Turner was very satisfied with the series of reforms carried out by Bai Quinn at the WCW, and believed that Bai Quinn was willing to help because the WCW had reinjected vitality.

As the largest individual shareholder of MGM Pictures, the producer of the 007 series, Ted Turner decided that a girl with a good appearance would become a Bon girl, which was a slight effort for him.

It was Chris who came back after a circle and accepted the thanks from the new Bon girl on the yacht.

Bai Quinn was too lazy to care about these things. As long as the two cousins ​​could manage the Wademark image together, the first task was to unite and beat Harvey!

This time, the core members of Wademark Image were dispatched collectively, Joe Drake, Casey Conrad, Azta Zander, the butler William, the gold medal screenwriter Sayed, and Kolov, who squeezed into the core with the successful online promotion of "The Walker", will serve as counselors to assist the Soprano cousins ​​in deciding which film to buy for which film to be screened.

At this time, these tools are scattered in various theaters in Cannes, as well as every small movie-watching event, searching for valuable targets.

The Cannes Film Festival opened with an allusion to the political black comedy "Original Color" of the Arkansas leader. It lasted for 11 days. The main film transactions are usually produced within the first eight or nine days. Of course, there are some unpopularity. It will not be popular until after the awards. However, such films are generally competitive with "a kind of attention" awards specifically targeting newcomers and young directors.

What Wademark Images need to buy is films that can achieve box office results in the North American market and even hit the Oscar for the best foreign language film. They will only appear in the main competition unit that competes for the "Palme d'Or".

Some people compare the Cannes Film Festival to the "Olympic Games" in the film industry, while the Oscars are a self-designed "model worker commendation meeting" in the American film industry.

Bai Quinn does not have the pride that is common to Americans and the illusion of being superior to other countries that "I am the best in the world" so he agrees with this sentence.

However, winning an Oscar can bring real box office benefits, and it is difficult for Cannes award-winning films to gain recognition from the US market unless the film is originally an American film, such as Quentin's "Pulp Novels" back then.

From the perspective of a businessman, he does not stand on Cannes or Oscars, he stands on the side of money.

If the Cannes awards can be converted into commercial interests in the future, he will definitely bring the film to the exhibition. At that time, his pass will no longer be the "movie market pass" representing the identity of "buyer", but a special pass for contestants.

Then I can walk the Cannes red carpet with justification.

Today is the third day of the opening. Bai Quinn is too lazy to run the exhibition and premiere anymore. Let his tools discover the target. He is lying on the beach in front of the temporary rented villa to enjoy the Mediterranean and the warm sunshine.

It would be a waste if you don’t enjoy a house you rented for tens of thousands of dollars a day.

Fortunately, there are enough rooms in the villa, so everyone who came to Wademark's image this time can stay.

There are gardens, beaches, swimming pools, specialized chefs and drivers. Even the yachts where Chris plays are provided by villas. It is said that this villa is a winter residence of a certain European royal family. During the film festival, it is rented for some maintenance costs. It is only rented in the whole company and not sold in stock. It must pass the qualification review before it can settle in.

This condition is much better than the majestic Baril Hotel at the entrance of the Film Festival Palace. Even Sofia Coppola, who put down the work on the set and came to participate in the film festival, immediately retired the booked hotel after seeing the conditions of the villa and ran to live in the house with shamelessness.

Bai Quinn straightened up slightly, picked up a French oyster from the small table next to him, and sucked it in one bite!

Ah, the smell of the sea...

Hannah suddenly appeared quietly next to him, bent over, and the bath towel draped off to cover most of her body, revealing only two white calves.

"Boss, Lina just said that Wes Anderson is also here in Cannes and wants to have a meal with you. Do you see him?"

After "The Legend of the Wicked", Wes Anderson came to France to learn painting. It has been more than a year since we met, so we can meet and chat. After all, we are old friends, and we are still friends who started a business together in the early stages of Wademark's image. We just happened to ask if he was interested in directing "The Legend of the Wicked 2", although this story has not been compiled yet.

"Lina will help me choose a spare time and have lunch..."

"Okay, Boss!"

Sofia Coppola's slightly hoarse voice came from afar.

"Hey! QB, I knew you were here! The damn housekeeper of this villa won't tell me your whereabouts, a rigid Frenchman!"

Eva Green was awakened by her. The sunglasses that could block half of her face could not cover her current anger. She had the attitude of being brave enough to insult us French people, and I would never end up with you today.

On one side is the favorite little daughter of the big director Francis Coppola, and on the other side is the secret girlfriend who is having a hot fight. If the two really quarrel, it will be difficult for Bai Quinn to be a human being in the middle.

So he had to take action first, jumped up from the recliner, faced Sophia's direction, blocked between her and Eva Green, and asked first: "What's the matter? Sophia? You'd better have a suitable reason to disturb my afternoon rest."

Sofia Coppola should have changed her swimsuit in advance in the villa, came to Bai Quinn, tore off the bath towel that wrapped around her body, shook it open, and spread it on another recliner. After adjusting her posture, she felt that she could fully show her figure, so she slowly said: "I watched "Beautiful Life", directed and starring Roberto Benini, which is definitely an excellent movie! I suggest you buy it. Isn't you here to buy a movie? Roberto Benini is our Italian, this is your advantage. Don't let that Jewish guy steal it."

"Which Jewish?"

"Have, oh, I forgot, he returned the money he owed you, you should be good friends again!"

"He also fell in love with the "Beautiful Life"? Do you hate him?" Bai Quinn asked carefully.

At least on the surface, after Miramax paid the arrears, he and Harvey had already made up and were still good partners who could jointly develop the movie.

"It's not annoying, it's just that I feel uncomfortable with the way he treats women."

Sofia Coppola's usual words and deeds are somewhat feminist, believing that women should be independent and should strive for more opportunities and voice. This is very similar to Lila, the producer of "The King of War", and the cooperation between the two is particularly tacit.

Bai Quinn estimated that she always had the opposite of Eva Green, and there was also the mentality of a woman who hated her and attached to men.
