Chapter 1026: Zhang Ziyi is hit hard
Zhang Ziyi was obviously stunned for a moment. Although everyone was wearing a mask, Li Mu was not wearing sunglasses, so he was actually easier to recognize.

Since they had met, it would be wrong not to say hello, so Zhang Ziyi hurried over and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, Director Li!"

"What a coincidence!"

Li Mu nodded, feeling that this was really a coincidence. However, it was normal that the other party also wanted to be a judge. If it was not a morning flight, it would be an afternoon flight. The number of flights has also decreased, so it is not surprising to meet him.

"Why didn't Iffy come?"

Zhang Ziyi asked curiously, her mind full of thoughts.

The main reason is that many judges will bring their families with them, especially if their family members are people in the industry.

What's more, Li Mu is the chairman of the jury this time. How can he not be accompanied by his family at such a highlight moment?

At this moment, Zhang Ziyi had already thought of countless possibilities in his mind.

Li Mu naturally didn't know that in just a few seconds, various versions of the story had already been generated in Zhang Ziyi's mind. If he knew, he could only sigh that this woman's ability to associate was too rich.

"Come over a few days later."

Li Mu said with a smile, without further explanation.

Zhang Ziyi came to her senses upon hearing this and smiled awkwardly.

Of course, Li Mu didn't hear the embarrassment in the laughter, and he just found a seat and sat down.

Zhang Ziyi randomly found a few topics, but seeing that Li Mu was not in the mood to chat, she found an excuse and returned to her original position.

It takes twelve hours to fly from the capital to Nice Airport in France, and Li Mu also had a good rest on the plane.

At this moment, there are already many media waiting at Nice Airport in France.

Since Cannes does not have its own international airport, the easiest way to get there is to fly to Nice Côte d'Azur Airport in the southern French city of Nice, which is the closest major international airport to Cannes.

Therefore, both Hollywood stars and various producers and directors have achieved this.

This is also the best opportunity for filming and interviewing.

After getting off the plane, the lively atmosphere of Nice Airport greeted us. The breeze from the south of France at the junction of spring and summer has a slightly salty taste, which makes people feel refreshed.

Li Mu had just taken two steps when he heard the sound of high heels and Zhang Ziyi's voice from behind.

"Director Li, do you want to go together? I have booked a car."

This is a good opportunity to get closer to Li Mu, so she certainly won't waste this opportunity. Moreover, with Li Mu together, the exposure will naturally be higher. This time, there should be no one who won't write their name in the news headlines.

Thinking of the headlines of major media outlets, Zhang Ziyi felt very depressed.

If it weren't for Li Mu, with her fame and status as a Cannes jury, it would have been easy for her to make a headline.

Before Li Mu opened his mouth to decline, he saw a group of reporters quickly surrounding him, their steps were so swift as if they were well-trained.

The two reporters rushing in the front were from Europe and America. Li Mu did not recognize them, but he was familiar with their logos because they were the logos of The Hollywood Reporter and Variety.

Following closely behind him was a well-known domestic entertainment reporter from Sina Media.

"Li! Welcome to France! How do you feel about serving as the chairman of the Cannes jury this year?" The female reporter from The Hollywood Reporter quickly handed the microphone to Li Mu, speaking quickly and a little excitedly.

"As the chairman of the jury, what do you think of the judging criteria? Will your personal aesthetic style affect the results?" The reporter from Variety seemed more professional.

"Director Li."

At this moment, the microphones of major media were all directed at Li Mu.

Zhang Ziyi stood aside, originally expecting a reporter to interview her, even if it was just a few words in passing.

However, she soon realized that all the media attention seemed to be focused on Li Mu.

Even if someone noticed her, they would just nod politely and then quickly turn their eyes back to Li Mu.

She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed by this treatment.

Fortunately, Li Mu was unable to cope with the situation, and some media finally decided to change their position and turned the interview microphone to Zhang Ziyi, which eased a lot of embarrassment.

Faced with a barrage of questions, Li Mu raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Thank you for your welcome." Li Mu smiled, "The Cannes Film Festival is one of the most influential film festivals in the world. It is my personal honor to serve as the chairman of the jury.

Regarding the judging criteria, we will evaluate each work with a fair and open attitude. I always believe that the core of a film is to tell a good story, and regardless of style and language, they should touch people's hearts. "

When Li Mu responded, many media outlets listened quietly.

Zhang Ziyi, who was standing aside, maintained a decent smile on the surface, but her heart was extremely complicated.

She was also a judge, although not from the main competition unit, and originally wanted to take this opportunity to gain some attention. However, faced with such a strong "Li Mu effect", she completely became a background board, which was really uncomfortable, and also mixed with a bit of helplessness and jealousy.

I originally thought that with all my international experience over the years, at least someone had noticed me.

Although someone noticed it in the end, it was all left over by "others".

Just as the reporters were about to ask further questions, a middle-aged man in a suit and wearing a Cannes Organizing Committee work badge walked over quickly.

He bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Li, the Cannes Organizing Committee has arranged a car for you. We will escort you to the hotel next."

As soon as he finished speaking, the reporters automatically made way for him. Not far away, a black Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan was quietly waiting, its body as shiny as a mirror.

Seeing this, Li Mu smiled and nodded. After nodding politely to the media, he walked straight towards the Mercedes-Benz.

The organizing committee staff helped him open the car door.

Zhang Ziyi felt a little bitter when she saw this scene. No wonder she felt that Li Mu wanted to refuse at that time. The treatment between the two was very different.

Li Mu's private car drove all the way to Cannes. The scenery of the coastline along the way was breathtaking. The charm of the Cote d'Azur was particularly moving in early summer.

But Li Mu didn't look at the scenery outside the window for long. It was not like he had seen this scenery before. Then he lowered his head to check the email on his mobile phone, which was sent by David.

In general, the investment team still recommends pledging first. If you eventually want to sell, you can wait until Google reaches a high point, and then sell in batches in time.

As for the repatriation of funds, Dream Capital itself happens to be registered in Hong Kong, which has a relatively relaxed international capital flow policy and is a high-quality transit station for funds to enter the country.

There are several options here. Mengying Media can sign an investment agreement with Dream Capital to clarify the investment amount and purpose, so as to achieve the goal of returning funds to China.

You can also report the source and purpose of funds directly to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of China to ensure that the funds enter the Chinese market legally.
The operation here is not that simple, and it also involves various issues such as taxation and foreign exchange compliance management. However, Li Mu only needs to determine which plan to adopt, and someone will naturally take care of the rest.
