An hour was not long, but Lin Hao felt that he had achieved his propaganda purpose.

Because as Ju Wenpei asked before, this movie cannot be released in China, and it is the same in other countries - the domestic "Memories of Murder" does not have restricted scenes in it, such as various corpses and so on, even if it is willing to be exposed to the public

Heck, the current twenty shares are still out of reach. Overseas, the only way to sell films is through Lin Hao, which is probably a buyout.

So there is no need for commercial promotion.

He took on this movie just because he liked it and didn't think much about commercial matters.

As for Ju Wenpei’s question about why he came to Cannes...

I sent it to Cannes because I am familiar with it here:

After all, he had already won the Best Actor Award at Cannes last term and could not be re-elected. This time he came to this place more for publicity and to build relationships.

But of course Lin Hao wouldn't give these to Ju Wenpei, and he wouldn't be so stupid as to get to the bottom of it. At this moment, her interview was about to come to an end: "...Since you have achieved quite a lot in Cannes in the past two years, this time

What are your expectations for the performance of this movie?"

Lin Hao answered honestly:

"Of course I hope to achieve good results, and if possible, I hope it will also have a good box office in South Korea."

"I think so too. Everyone thinks your movies have always been a guarantee of quality."

"Thanks."

"Then finally..." Ju Wenpei thought for a while and then added: "This time director Lou Ye has also been shortlisted for Cannes, and your classmate Zhang Ziyi, have you made an appointment to meet him?"

Not many people may have watched the "Suzhou River" back then, but now that the two leading actors and the director have become famous, it has naturally caused some splashes.

"Of course I have an appointment to meet you."

Lin Hao drank the last sip of tea before saying: "We have an appointment with Director Lou Ye. Zi Yi is still filming "Jasmine Blooms" and can't leave, so maybe we'll see you later."

...

The interview is over. This interview will not be the first at this film festival, nor will it be the last.

The difference is that in the past, Lin Hao basically had to be interviewed by all the media that might come to him, and he was not qualified to make changes to some of the reporters' things. But now he can only accept interviews from some media that he likes or is well-known, and he can reject the rest.

This saves a lot of time at once, and you can do...

"The next lot is from the private collection of Mr. James Wilson. It comes from the early works of contemporary artist Avigdor Alica..."

Yes, not a break.

Instead, I went to attend some so-called high-end social gatherings, including this kind of charity auction. The money raised this time was used for a charity fund for African children.

emmm, that’s it.

Lin Hao casually took a photo of a Bulgari necklace. He was not particularly interested in other items such as paintings, and the same was true for this auction.

But you know that sometimes people just have to do things that are relatively involuntary: this time it was a charity dinner invited by Colombia's senior officials to attend. It was considered as a way of giving each other face and maybe cooperation in the future, so I still had to come.

Moreover, for this kind of charity party, if you are invited by the organizer instead of being brought along by an invitee like Lin Hao, you may need to donate something.

Generally, celebrities will donate an item from a brand they endorse as an auction item, and then pay a relatively higher price to buy it. If someone else takes the best photo, if no one else takes the photo, it is equivalent to donating so much money.

Hey, that's it anyway.

He came mainly to socialize.

The reason why the senior executive asked Lin Hao to come tonight was mainly because the movie "The Grudge" is in Japan? Colombia hopes to make an American version, and at this time, Lin Hao came to mind...

Lin Hao was also sweating. He might really become a horror film professional. He politely inquired about this project and invested 10 million. This would be a great development plan for Lin Hao in 2004...

The decision is still to think about it temporarily.

The other party didn't say much, and everyone dispersed.

...

"Hello, Teacher Lin. I've wanted to meet you for a long time! It's not easy to meet you!" Back at the hotel, Lin Hao just got off the elevator and opened the door when he heard someone's teasing voice.

Look up, who else could it be?

Lou Ye.

"...Of course, there are several people queuing up before you, just wait!" Lin Hao said with a black look on his face, and then emphasized again seriously: "Go downstairs to the lobby to fill out a form, and then look for 3

The supervisor of the building will stamp it, then go to the hotel management department on Dongjie Street to sign, then come back for approval, and then you can queue up your number."

"Fuck you, you're fat and you're out of breath!"

Lou Ye really stopped pretending now, so the two of them laughed and stopped pretending.

"Hey, stop me, you are so fat!"

"Shit, I'm still the same even if I lose weight."

"Really? That's right, there are no fat artistic young people."

"lead"

It's really rare for these two to meet each other. After "Suzhou River", they were fine for a while, but then they became busy, especially recently, so there has been less contact.

Lin Hao is no longer what he used to be, and Lou Ye also made a splash with "Suzhou River", but the meeting was still not that roundabout. After a long chat, we arrived at the terrace.

It was already very late at this time. Lin Hao was fiddling with his phone to reply to text messages and said with a smile:

"How's it going? Where's the premiere? I'll come and watch it."

"No. 22, where are you?" Lou Ye was a little proud. The further back he got, the more hopeful he became.

"Well, it's almost the same as you, number 23."

"It's not bad. Hey, how about cooperating with Koreans in a movie? Have you eaten kimchi?"

"...It's not bad, I really took a lot of bubbles."

The two have known each other for a long time, so they didn't have any worries when they got up. Lou Ye also raised his eyebrows directly: "That's good, I thought you went to Korea to pick up girls."

"..."

...

Friends who haven't seen each other for a long time can last a long time, and Lin Hao can be regarded as meeting an old friend in a foreign country. Unknowingly, it was already very late, and now it was even late at night.

There was really nothing to talk about. Looking back, it was just about the recent situation. Lou Ye finished filming in September last year and has been busy until now. What I remember most in the end is that the two of them agreed that Feng Yuanzheng is a good actor.

He also appeared in "Purple Butterfly" this time.

Also, he didn't really want to make "Purple Butterfly" before. In fact, he had already written a script that he wanted to make more, "Jiao Summer Palace", but the movie is not just about the script, it also requires money...

In short, Lou Ye listened more, and Lin Hao listened more.

Before leaving, Lin Hao saw Lou Ye to the door.

At this time, Lou Ye stopped and looked, and Lin Hao followed him and looked. The summer night sky in Cannes was not dim, but it was not very bright, and it was even a bit ordinary.

A bit like that night.

At that time...when was it?

It was 1998, five years ago. Around this time, they collaborated on a movie called "Suzhou River".

Lou Ye spoke: "Hao'er, remember it was also night when Xun and I came to find you."

"certainly."

Lin Hao seemed to hear something and laughed twice: "At that time, I was on the set of "No One Less" directed by Zhang, and was the principal of a kindergarten. You don't know how you got the news and came all the way here, and then tricked me into entering.

group, and even tricked me into investing."

"Um, how do you remember it so clearly?"

It was so clear that I was a little embarrassed. Lou Ye sweated violently: "You also made a lot of money later, so don't lie about it. You are serious."

"Okay, no nonsense."

Then the two of them became quiet again. Even though it was late at night, there were still people coming in and out of the door occasionally. Some people seemed to recognize Lin Hao, holding a camera and excitedly wanting to take pictures. Here, Lou Ye took a long time to continue speaking.

"Alas...we are not what we used to be."
