Stop it, boss, I’ve never seen a movie made like this.

Chapter 90 90. Invitation from a world-class director

Chen Li originally planned to leave the next day, but someone sent an invitation early in the morning and wanted to invite them to a cocktail party tonight.

Chen Li didn't really want to go, but he couldn't stand it. Others were very excited and wanted to see it. Besides, they couldn't buy a return ticket for the time being, so he just went to take part.

eight pm.

A limousine parked downstairs of the hotel, and Chen Li got into the car with Liu Wanxin, Wang Anrou, Li Tian and Allen.

After seeing Chen Li, the driver quickly opened the door to let everyone in.

The meeting was held in a villa on the beach. After Chen Li and the others entered, they saw an upper-class cocktail party that they had only seen in movies before.

The classic villa garden is decorated with low-key luxury. Next to the swimming pool, brightly dressed men and women are holding wine glasses and talking together. Waiters are passing by with wine trays.

There is also a band playing in the corner, and the atmosphere is lively and elegant.

"Oh, Li, you're here? Welcome!" A bearded man in a suit came over laughing, and behind him, also followed a blond man.

The two of them hugged Chen Li familiarly as soon as they came up.

Chen Li almost fainted from the strong smell of perfume and escaped without leaving a trace.

"Introduce yourself, I'm David, and this blond guy is Billy!" David smiled.

Billy also brought wine glasses to several people.

Chen Li was a little confused. He didn't know who it was, but Liu Wanxin who was beside him explained it in his ear.

It turns out that David is actually the head of the jury of this Cannes Film Festival, and Billy is also one of the important judges.

Both are world-class directors with global renown.

Chen Li suddenly realized and said with a smile: "So, is it because of the two of you that my movie can be an exception?"

"You don't need to thank us, we just don't want this Cannes to be as boring as before, and your film is definitely qualified to be shortlisted. As for winning the award, it is the result of the approval of most of us." David raised his glass and touched it with Chen Li. .

"Li, you are a genius. I have seen several of your previous works. They are very pioneering and creative. Do you want me to invest in you and continue to develop in Hollywood? That is a paradise for filmmakers!!" Bi Lee invited.

Unexpectedly, the world-class director admired Chen Li so much that even Billy wanted to invest in him. The people around him who had been eavesdropping were a little envious.

This is an olive branch from a great director. Although Chen Li is very popular now, he can only be regarded as a second-level director in Hollywood, not even a top-notch director.

They can be top-notch, and they all have people who have won several world awards, and they usually direct Hollywood A-level blockbusters.

After all, Chen Li's qualifications are still not enough, and his movies so far are a bit minor. They can't even be called B-level productions, and can only be regarded as independent films.

Now he is short of opportunities!
Allen also looked at Chen Li with bright eyes. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he agreed, he would also be able to benefit from it. With Billy's recommendation, he would be in Hollywood!
Others are also jealous.

But Chen Li was not carried away, and even lost interest. He shook his head: "Thank you both for your appreciation. I will seriously consider your suggestions."

These words did not directly refuse, nor did they agree. They could advance, attack, retreat or defend. However, Billy and David couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

They also discover some young directors every year, and these people have long been excited to dance when they hear such conditions.

Unlike this young Xia man, he is very calm and good! !

"Tch, you can't seize such a good opportunity." Liu Hui, who was invited in the corner, couldn't help but said with disdain.

Lu Ruifang admired Chen Li very much: "Maybe Director Chen has greater ambitions."

Liu Hui was silent.

With the introductions from David and Billy, everyone present became very interested in Chen Li and gathered around to talk to him.

Basically, it’s all about cooperation.On such an occasion, all you have access to are the world's top resources, and it is a project that many people can't even ask for. Even the quiet Liu Wanxin couldn't help breathing heavier after hearing this.

Wang Anrou also turned slightly red with excitement.

But tonight they are supporting roles, and everything has to go according to Chen Li's footsteps.

As for Chen Li, he still lacks interest. He likes to have all the power in making movies, and everything must be obeyed by him.

But in Hollywood, the producers are the boss. They select the script, contact the director, actors and investors, until the preparation and filming are completed. During this period, the director is just a tool.

Even the final editing rights are not in the hands of the director. The director does not have this right.

Compromise with them with Chen Li's character?

Don't be kidding, he would rather not shoot!
Therefore, when facing these projects, he was very plain, which made many people he talked to think he was arrogant.

Seeing that Chen Li was helpless, Allen quickly stepped in to help him deal with these problems. Only then could Chen Li breathe a sigh of relief.

"We won't be able to come to this kind of drinking party in the future." Chen Li complained.

Liu Wanxin and Wang Anrou both laughed: "Brother, if others hear what you say, they will probably hate you to death. There are many people who can't even think about it."

Chen Li shook his head and laughed. Just as he was about to speak, a familiar figure came over. It was Norma, the Hollywood first-line actress who had previously presented the award to Chen Li.

Her figure is already sexy and plump, and the dress with a deep V to her navel makes her look even more feminine.

Norma looked at Chen Li with charming eyes: "Li, I like your movies very much, can we talk about them?"

The meaning of these words is a bit ambiguous, and the atmosphere becomes charming.

Chen Li smiled brightly, but before he could speak, he was blocked by two slightly hostile women.

"I'm sorry, Miss Norma, Chen Li has a bad stomach, so it might be inconvenient." Wang Anrou smiled lightly, lying without blinking an eye.

Although Liu Wanxin said nothing, her expression was obviously unhappy.

Norma was stunned, then giggled, her eyes wandering over the two women, and then she nodded generously and left, giving Chen Li a subtle wink before leaving.

Chen Li felt a little regretful.

"Brother, these are not good women, we can't be deceived by her!" Wang Anrou said seriously.

Liu Wanxin pulled her hair back from her ears and agreed: "Many people in the circle come with a purpose, so be careful to distinguish them."

Chen Li: "."

He coughed and chose Urine Escape.

The villa was quite big. Chen Li came back from his escape and felt bored. He was about to go back when he suddenly heard some noise at the reception, as if someone was quarreling.

And the sound sounds a bit familiar!
When he got closer, he discovered that a blond middle-aged man was drunk and was yelling at Liu Wanxin and his group!

"You reject me? Do you know who I am?!"

"What are you Xia people so proud of? It's just opportunism. Do you really think your level is world-class? Bah!"

"What can you produce with your weak film industry in Xia State?"

"Haha, apart from literary and artistic films, do you have anything good to offer? Can you make an A-level blockbuster? Don't be kidding. Even a science fiction film can only be linked to literary and artistic films. What qualifications do you have to win?"
