Frederick returned to the hotel, found his assistant and asked them to contact the official staff of Cannes Film Festival to ask for the list of all the films participating in the exhibition.
After I got the list, I searched according to the initials and found no fatal ID.
Friedrich was angry.
How is that possible?
Are you not working hard?
Search again!
By the way, this is an oriental film from China.
The assistants were confused.
Oriental films from China?
Is it necessary to pay so much attention?
Anyway, the words "from China" greatly reduced the search scope, but the assistants searched it three times and still couldn''t find the film.
Seeing that Frederick''s face was ugly, an assistant boldly guessed, "Mr. director, did you not sign up for the film festival?"
This is unlikely
Frederick was speechless.
Another assistant carefully verified, found the official staff, tossed for more than an hour, and finally got the news from the official. It was determined that none of the films registered for the exhibition had a Chinese film called fatal ID.
Now the long-standing frendrich circle.
I didn''t sign up for the exhibition... This routine is new!
Why don''t you sign up for Cannes?
"George, go to the Chinese and ask them about the deadly ID."
"Paul, you go to the bar and ask the bar owner about the fatal ID they show tonight and the contact information of the producer."
After arranging this, Frederick found MacDonald who had just returned from the reception.
MacDonald is fox''s manager. "Little ghost thief" was invested and filmed by fox. He was one of the leaders of this trip to Cannes.
"You mean, you watched a Chinese film in the bar tonight and thought the idea was wonderful, so you suggested that the company buy the adaptation right and let you shoot it?" McDonald was unbelievable. He was sober because of this cold joke.
"That''s right." Friedrich nodded seriously, and the tone of the other party made him very unhappy.
"We can''t make that kind of Kung Fu film, and we''re not interested in making it. All Hollywood film companies are not interested."
"It''s not a kung fu movie, but a suspense thriller that reflects human nature."
"I only know about Japanese horror films in the East. As for human nature, I don''t think Chinese films that reflect backwardness, poverty, ignorance and distort human nature are worth adapting."
"I can forgive your prejudice, but I can''t tolerate you trampling on my professional judgment! Please remember, I''m not only a director, but also a senior screenwriter!"
"Well, you calm down first." McDonald stepped back temporarily. "Maybe you tell me the plot of that film, which will help change my view..."
……
The show in the bar is over and it''s closing time.
Finally, the appearance of mlgb band and imitators made the bar lively again. Unfortunately, the number was not as large as yesterday.
In this regard, mbiwa did not complain any more. He returned the laptop with fatal ID to Mai Xiaoyu and asked the employees to clean up.
Stewart came backstage to look for Mai Xiaoyu.
An employee stopped her, pointed to the bathroom at the back door and said, "Hey, wildcat, this is not the place you should come. If you want to cheat, you can go there and I''ll meet you."
"I''ll kick your balls!"
"You won''t, because you will love it, ha ha."
Mai Xiaoyu heard the voice and came out: "she is my friend!"
"Well, I apologize. Your girlfriend is beautiful."
Stewart came to Mai Xiaoyu. The latter asked, "do you need me to make him apologize to you?"
"Hasn''t he apologized?" Stewart didn''t care, and such disturbing words were common in the bar. "I invited Mr. Friedrich to the bar as requested tonight. But you''re late. He left after watching the film. I can''t blame me."
"I don''t blame you. Come in." Mai Xiaoyu took Stewart into the lounge. "Did he say anything before he left?"
"He said he had seen the best. He had a good time at the bar tonight."
"So he was watching the movie all the time?"
"Yes, from beginning to end... What are you laughing at?"
Mai Xiaoyu opened the circle this time. There is no clear lamb. The ultimate goal is the publisher to make fatal ID released overseas.
Frederick is a director. In Mai Xiaoyu''s opinion, even if he likes this product, he should recommend it to his friends before it can be transmitted to the publisher. Whether the publisher will go to the bar to watch the film because of the recommendation of this product is still between May and may.
Therefore, it doesn''t matter if the lamb is not much or less. He asked Stewart to invite him to the bar. The main purpose was to cultivate Stewart''s obedience habit.
"What do you think of the film?"
"I didn''t see it."
Very single answer, Mai Xiaoyu is not happy.
"Dead rabbit..."
"It''s Stewart!"
"It''s all the same. It''s a film made by our company. How can you deepen our mutual understanding if you don''t watch it?"
"Made by your company?"
Stuart was stunned.
Remembering what Friedrich said before she left, she realized something and looked at Mai Xiaoyu differently.
Mai Xiaoyu was a thief. Seeing the changes in her heart, he smiled and said, "do you want to see my novel?"
Twilight City twilight!
After a day''s efforts, Mai Xiaoyu has "copied" about a quarter of the content, which is enough for Stewart to understand the main framework of the novel and tell the romantic love story between high school student Bella and the handsome young vampire Edward.
Vampire themes are very popular in the United States, and romantic love stories are popular in most countries.
Sitting in front of Mai Xiaoyu''s laptop and reading the content he had just "copied", Stewart asked suspiciously, "did you really write this?"
"Does it look good?"
Stewart thought for a moment, took out the prepared ten thousand dollars from his bag and handed it to Mai Xiaoyu.
"So happy?"
"I''m willing to bet."
"Aren''t you afraid I''ll lie to you?"
"I believe my eyes. You''re not a liar."
I''m really a liar!
Ten thousand dollars or ten thousand Chinese dollars is not money for Mai Xiaoyu. The reason why we adhere to this rule is mainly to leave a thought for the scattered lambs, so that the time is ripe and the "seamless connection" can be realized smoothly in the future.
The next day, the news of the Chinese film "deadly ID" broadcast in the mbiwa bar began to spread in Cannes. This move looked wonderful in the eyes of many foreigners and became a talk after dinner.
After Huang Lei heard about it, he contacted Mai Xiaoyu and asked, "are you playing too fast? There are so many screens in Cannes, do you have to play in the bar?"
"Can you contact the cinema for me?"
"Well, that''s true. You started too late."
"Is that all you want me to do?"
"No, I want to ask, is it still playing tonight? I heard a foreigner say that the film is good..."
