Zhao Hong went to Cannes with Jiang Zhiqiang on April No.13, mainly because the film "The Bridge of Madison County", which DreamWorks participated in, entered the main competition unit of Cannes.

Hehe, in fact, these are not the main purpose, the purpose is to date Sophie, and he made an appointment with her 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 crazy before filming "The Wind"!

"Hong, I didn't expect you to come here. I thought you didn't have time to come?" Sophie couldn't believe it the moment she saw Zhao Hong for the first time.

She has been filming in Hollywood during this time, which is the movie "Die Hard" created by Zhao Hong for Big Nose. This movie started shooting last year, and the investment is made by DreamWorks, MGM, United Artists and Golden Harvest. Produced (MGM and United Artists were acquired by DreamWorks, but they are not affiliated with DreamWorks Films).

Among them, Golden Harvest is only eligible for the box office, and nothing else, but 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 fulfilled his wish to act as a pig's foot in a major Hollywood A-level production. I don't know how many Xiangjiang artists are envious of this news. Some actors from DreamWorks also played soy sauce 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 a lot of Chinese characters in order to enter the vast market of the mainland, but it felt a bit nondescript.

Many characters are forced in, and 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 much they discriminate against Chinese in Hollywood.

In many films, people of yellow race were originally needed, but they were all replaced by black people.

Very sad!

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

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 a very loose financial policy to encourage capital to flow into the real estate and stock markets, causing real estate prices to skyrocket.

After the depreciation of the U.S. dollar (a large number of U.S. dollars were issued), a large amount of international capital entered Japan's real estate industry, which further stimulated the rise of housing prices.Tempted by the sudden rise in housing prices, many Japanese are beginning to lose patience.

They found that it was faster to make money by speculating in stocks and real estate, so they took out their bank savings for speculation.

By this year, real estate prices in Japan had soared to ridiculous levels.

According to the statistics of relevant agencies, the land area is equivalent to that of California, USA, and the total market value of its land value is equivalent to four times the total land value of the entire United States.

Zhao Hong knows that next year will be even more fierce, and the land price in Tokyo alone is equivalent to the total land price in the United States.

They once made wild claims to buy the entire United States.

It can be said that the Japanese are currently synonymous with rich people in the world. As long as they travel abroad, they will sweep the streets and buy all kinds of goods.

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

As for the investment in Japan's financial sector, it will also be withdrawn slowly. It can be said that DreamWorks has already made a lot of money in this Plaza Accord in Japan.

In order not to become the last leek, Zhao Hong came out more than a year in advance, which did not affect the hot market at all. At present, Japan's economy is optimistic in various ways, and many people are willing to pay with money.

In fact, there are already many financial tycoons in the current Japanese financial market, and the water inside is very deep. Zhao Hong doesn't want to escape at the last moment, and she doesn't know how she will die when the time comes.

Leaving early is the wisest choice. As the saying goes, "When devils enter the village, don't shoot them."

Isn't it nice to make money without anyone noticing it?

Also, if I leave after earning the last copper coin, it will make the Japanese government hate it. They may have nothing to do with the capital of the United States, but it is suspicious to want to give DreamWorks some pain.

When these capitalist countries are not involved in their interests, they are all gentlemen with tender feelings. If their interests are violated, they will instantly become wolves and cheetahs.

He expressed great fear!

Since Zhao Hong has been in business, one of the reasons why he has been able to develop steadily along the way is the word "stable". Even if he has such good resources as his own bank, he still does not use them. He develops completely by his own company. After doing all kinds of things, he became the world's richest man in a few years, but the victory lies in ease and stability.

It's not that they don't have other capital to want to do things, but there is a saying, 'flies don't bite seamless eggs', and they have achieved the same consistency, no matter how they do things, it will be useless!

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 had money. In this way, his own foundation would be very solid. Only in this way would the development of DreamWorks become more and more advantageous.

Furthermore, the shipping company of DreamWorks is currently expanding. While the shipping is still in the low period, they are vigorously arming themselves. They are currently planning to order [-] or [-] ships in batches at some shipyards in the Mainland. Many places invest in freight terminals, which require large capital investments.

Zhao Hong still remembers that Li Chaoren made a lot of arrangements for the shipping industry in the original time and space. What he did was to build wharfs arbitrarily, and in the end he made a lot of money.

He also has this opportunity now, of course he will not let it go.

It can be said that although a wave of money has been made on the Plaza Accord, none of it is superfluous!

The industries currently deployed are all industries that cost huge sums of money, but unlike light projects such as games, comics, and toys, they are all projects that require a large amount of money to be sprinkled 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, you can start to set up jewelry companies and invest in the Internet industry in the Mainland, and then deploy the theaters in the Mainland. After the completion, the DreamWorks empire will be basically formed.

Zhao Hong hugged her in her arms at once, "Boom, how is it possible! As long as I promise, I must do it."

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

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

"Boom, of course, I found that my language talent was buried before that." Sophie said very arrogantly, and she didn't forget to kiss her when she said it.

"Did you miss me?" Zhao Hong blew softly into her ear and said after the two exchanged a few words.

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

"Row!"

A princess walked firmly towards the bedroom.

"The wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone."Again the sound of feathers of generosity, all the scholars were angry, and all their fingers were crowned. '

……

Zhao Hong feels a kind of wild charm from Sophie, which cannot be felt in other places. He likes Sophie very closely, and her development in Hollywood is also well protected.

There is no such thing as nonsense, she is free to choose the film roles of the two giants of Hollywood, MGM and United Artists, and there are more than a dozen bodyguards at any time to protect her openly or secretly.

"... Hong, you don't know that those directors and producers in Hollywood treat me very well, you are so amazing!"

"..., Hong, you don't know that I met an actor in Hollywood, and he wanted me to appear in real life during the intimate scene, and in the end he didn't report to the crew the next day, you are so amazing!"

……

When Zhao Hong saw Sophie's adoring gaze and her words of admiration, he felt a burst of satisfaction in his heart, and he 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's coming to Cannes, Jiang Zhiqiang is very clear. He handles many things by himself. Seeing the life of his boss, he is envious, jealous and hateful!

But there is no way to continue the promotion, communication with various film producers, DreamWorks dinner and other activities fell on him, which kept him busy.

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

At this time, many beautiful girls who came to Cannes had no room to live in. The main reason was that it was too expensive and they couldn’t afford it, so there were many out-of-the-box tricks.

They live in the room, as long as you want a girl, it's very easy, they can accompany you for a few days, just play casually.

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

Mr. Godard is also considered to be old and strong. He is almost 60 years old now, but he is still very energetic in making movies and his thinking is very active.

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

Speaking of which, the film "Bridges of Madison County" has a good score of 3.2 in the show book, among which Sophie is very popular as a Cannes actress, and she is very famous in France.

After the movie "The Bridge of Madison County" was released, there was an endless stream of fans who came to see this movie, and Sophie's acting skills were also recognized by everyone.

Start transitioning from a vase to an acting school.

Sophie subscribes to relevant newspapers every day. As long as she sees comments that praise her, she jumps up excitedly, sometimes inexplicably excited, and she can only be honest when she vents.

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

Admiring himself, he turned into an inflatable tool, how could he bear it, he had to pay back twice as much!

"...The winner of Best Actress is~Meryl Streep "Cry in the Night"..."

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 the blow.

I really complied with the saying that if you are hot, you will die. She was so hot before, but it is normal not to win the award, because the general judges will not follow the crowd, unless your own performance has become useless. Can be picky.

What's more, Sophie's acting skills in "Bridges of Madison County" are just passable, and many places that the French think are about to be exposed have become budding, which makes them quite critical, and so on. It is also very excusable.

Sophie felt that all the energy in her body was taken away. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and did not show any gaffes, but her heart was panicked. Fortunately, Zhao Hong was holding her hand tightly. , she felt much better.

Finally, when the Palme d'Or was announced, "The Bridge of Madison County" got this important award as it wished. Mr. Godard was very excited and gave a thank you speech on stage, which mentioned Zhao Hong, thanking him for such a good performance. Let him direct the subject matter.

Zhao Hong kept smiling the whole time.

It is true that it is really not easy for a good director to find a good theme. Sometimes good screenwriters are even rarer than good directors. High-quality content is always the object of competition in the market.

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

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

In fact, it is also understandable. "Sex, Lies and Videotape" is a Hollywood movie, and a little discrimination against it is politically correct in Europe.

"Why, are you still sad that you didn't get the actress?" Zhao Hong and the others didn't return to the room until twelve o'clock in the evening after attending the Cannes dinner.

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

"No, it's just a little sad that we have to part again.", she has to report to the Hollywood crew tomorrow, and "Die Hard" will take more than a month to finish filming.

Originally, he wanted to direct this movie himself but didn’t have time!
