Full-time actor

“Hello Chan”.

Just as everyone was raising their glasses in celebration, a man's voice came from behind them.

Jiang Wen was the first to turn around and look over, only then noticing that Laurent Dutron, the international sales director of the French film company MK 2, had already appeared beside them.

Lauren Dutron's gaze fell on Chen Yu's position, her eyes filled with surprise.

It was not surprising that MK 2, as one of the largest distributors in France, was present at the Cannes Film Festival's welcome dinner.

Clearly, he had a very high interest in Chen Yu.

To know.

Acquiring the distribution rights to "Better Days" made MK 2 a fortune.

This time, we will definitely not miss this opportunity to cooperate.

I heard—

"You're planning to hold a 'Bullet Night' event on the 18th."

This matter has already been widely discussed.

The main reason is that Jiang Wen's actions are too high-profile, which once overshadowed the Cannes Film Festival.

"Yes."

"If you're interested, you can go there in person."

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow.

The collaboration with MK 2 went very smoothly in the past two years.

However, whether a cooperation agreement can be reached for "Let the Bullets Fly" remains to be seen.

After all, MK 2 primarily promotes art films, while "Let the Bullets Fly" ultimately carries the guise of a commercial blockbuster.

Whether a collaboration can be achieved depends not only on MK 2's willingness to cooperate, but also on whether Jiang Wen is satisfied.
As for Jiang Wen, he was completely open to all comers.

In his mind, if you want to make money while standing tall, then the highest bidder wins.

Besides MK 2, many overseas publishers have also expressed their intention to collaborate.

The film "Let the Bullets Fly" boasts a cast of international superstars from China.

In terms of fame, Chen Yu would definitely be the first to be mentioned.

Secondly, Chow Yun-fat had already established himself in Hollywood.

As for Ge You, when people mention him, they mostly think of him winning the Best Actor award at Cannes in 1994 for his role in Zhang Yimou's "To Live".

In general.

These three individuals each possess their own unique impact, and with the addition of the director of "Devils on the Doorstep," everyone has high hopes for this film.

Jiang Wen was happy to see this situation.

The more anticipation the film generates, the more it proves its value.

The people present raised their glasses in toasts.

The topics of conversation were nothing more than recent works and films that were shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival.

Chen Yu and Jiang Wen raised their wine glasses.

They have achieved their goal this time: making an appearance at the Cannes Film Festival's welcome dinner undoubtedly served as a form of publicity.

I don't know how much time passed.

The moonlight grew stronger.

Chen Yu greeted the people he knew present and then prepared to return to the hotel first.

The main creators of "Let the Bullets Fly" were not the type to just join in the fun, so much so that after getting a little tipsy, they all prepared to go back with Chen Yu.

after all.

They weren't the main focus this time; they were just using the Cannes Film Festival as a pretext for publicity.

Click till.

"Director Chen, I'm so happy today!"

"Did I tell you to do it? This time I really did make money standing up."

Jiang Wen hooked his arm around Chen Yu's shoulder; all his previous efforts had not been in vain.

A successful first battle in Cannes.

Many people have already expressed their intention to cooperate, and once the trailer is released at "Bullet Night," they are guaranteed to make a fortune.

"Haha, there's no doubt that Brother Wen will take action."

It was clear that Jiang Wen was genuinely happy; someone who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk was now showing signs of intoxication.

"look."

"I just told you to drink less; if you drink too much, you'll be the one who feels bad."

Zhou Yun pulled Jiang Wen over.

Although there was a hint of complaint in her tone, her eyes didn't lie.

"Everyone should get some rest early."

"I'll probably be busy with 'Bullet Night' these next few days."

After Zhou Yun's words, everyone present nodded, said goodnight, and returned to their rooms.

I spent the entire day on the plane.

In the afternoon, I attended a welcome dinner. It would be a lie to say I wasn't tired.

especially.

Chen Yu was the only person in the huge room.

Even with the best mindset, Chen Yu couldn't help but think of the time when Liu Yifei was around.

I was just thinking about it.

The phone rang at just the right moment; at this hour, the only person calling him was probably Liu Yifei.

as predicted.

After Chen Yu answered the call, Liu Yifei's bright voice came from the other end of the line.

The two seemed to have returned to the time when they were separated.

"Hehe, did you miss me today, honey?"

Liu Yifei lowered her voice, her tone clearly carrying a hint of coquetry.

Although the two haven't been apart for long, they've grown accustomed to being together and now miss each other a little.

"Yes, I was just thinking about you."

"And here comes your call."

Upon hearing Chen Yu's words, Liu Yifei couldn't help but giggle.

"If that's the case, then we really are on the same wavelength."

The two chatted on the phone for about half an hour.

Unfortunately, Liu Yifei had to go to film a movie, so she had to hang up the phone.

Chen Yu looked at his phone, casually dialed a number, and before long, a voice came from the other end of the line as the phone rang.

"Hey Chan?"

Mark Muller was somewhat surprised by Chen Yu's phone call.

The two had not been in contact for a long time since that Venice Film Festival.

On the contrary, Marc Muller often sees news about Chen Yu online.

One thing that made Marc Muller give a thumbs up was Chen Yu's acquisition of Disney's shares.

"It's been such a long time since we last met."

Upon hearing Marco Müller's words, Chen Yu instinctively responded with a smile.

"Now there's a perfect opportunity to meet."

Ok?
Chen Yu's words clearly piqued Marx Muller's interest.

To be honest, Marc Muller has seen the recent news that Jiang Wen chartered a private jet to go to the Cannes Film Festival in a high-profile manner to promote the movie "Let the Bullets Fly".

If I'm not mistaken, Chen Yu's visit to him is probably related to this matter.

"I'm formally inviting you to 'Bullet Night,' how about it?"

Chen Yu and Marco Müller were already close friends. Others might not understand the bond between them, but Marco Müller held Chen Yu in high regard.

If it weren't for Chen Yu, the Venice Film Festival would probably be in a state of decline.

"Bullet Night? To Cannes?"

"Ah."

For Chen Yu, "Let the Bullets Fly" was not only a film he acted in, but also an investor in.

He should do his job properly.

Chen Yu had his own ideas.

Inviting Marco Müller was not just about him appearing as a guest; his position as president of the Venice Film Festival undoubtedly gave "Let the Bullets Fly" a pass to the festival.

Marco Müller's influence, coupled with his love for Chinese culture, will likely play a greater role in the "Bullet Night" event.

After listening to Chen Yu finish speaking.

Marco Müller paused briefly to think, but quickly gave a definite answer. The film *Let the Bullets Fly* featured a deep friendship between Marco Müller and many of the directors and actors.

Furthermore,

The film "Let the Bullets Fly" is currently in post-production and may be eligible to participate in the Venice Film Festival.

With such a star-studded cast, this movie is bound to generate a huge buzz.

"Of course!"

"I'd love to."

Marco Müller would naturally not refuse this invitation. Not to mention the great potential of the film "Let the Bullets Fly," his personal friendship with Chen Yu alone made it a must for him to accept the invitation.

"OK."

"Wait for you."

The conversation between the two ended there.

In conclusion, having Marc Muller participate in "Bullet Night" was clearly a win-win situation.

I was just thinking about it.

Chen Yu lay down directly on the bed.

I'm feeling a bit tired today, and with the added alcohol, I have absolutely no desire to continue.

I drifted off to sleep.

***
domestic.

Xiangyang.

Liu Yifei, dressed in a red dress, sheathed the sword in her hand.

Just as she finished filming and was about to call Chen Yu, she abruptly stopped herself.

It should be close to midnight in Cannes by now.

Chen Yu was already exhausted from the journey, so he must have fallen asleep by now.

Thinking this, Liu Yifei couldn't help but feel a little melancholy as she held her phone.

I casually flipped through today's news, and it's already being shared in real time with other countries.

present.

The entire internet is filled with news about the cast and crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" arriving at the Cannes Film Festival.

In addition, there was the welcome dinner for Chen Yu and others at the Cannes Film Festival.

[A star-studded cast including Chen Yu and Jiang Wen, along with the film "Let the Bullets Fly," made a high-profile appearance at the welcome dinner in Cannes!]

[Cannes experiences a "bullet moment" as four industry giants—Chen Yu, Jiang Wen, Ge You, and Chow Yun-fat—ignite the film festival!]

[“Bullet Night,” Jiang Wen’s new film, has already secured overseas distribution rights from numerous publishers!]

[Spending a fortune! Jiang Wen spent 500 million yuan to charter a plane directly to Cannes; "Let the Bullets Fly" may become a dark horse!]

【…】

The internet is almost entirely filled with photos of Chen Yu and others, all gathered at the Cannes Film Festival welcome dinner.

What is noticeable is that he was surrounded by Hollywood stars and directors.

This lineup is indeed impossible to ignore.

Liu Yifei clicked on the webpage; she didn't want to miss any news about Chen Yu.

There was really no other way this time. If it weren't for the need to rush the filming schedule, she really hoped to go to Cannes with Chen Yu.

"That's so cool! Our Brother Yu is just like a dragon among men when he stands there."

"Sure enough, once you become famous, you're surrounded by kind people."

"I can't wait! This is a top-notch film created by four award-winning actors."

"Chartering a private jet for 500 million? Such a grand gesture. If it flops like 'The Sun Also Rises,' it will be a laughing stock."

"Don't worry, with Brother Yu and the others as a safety net, it won't be bad at all, okay?"

Netizens are discussing it animatedly.

Everyone is discussing today's news, feeling shocked and expectant, yet also filled with mixed emotions.

While they were making fun of it, they also harbored a secret expectation for what would happen next in "Let the Bullets Fly".

After all, these are works created by people from China and exported abroad. Their innate sense of national pride makes it impossible for them not to care.

"What are you looking at?"

"The assistant director has called you several times."

Gong Li's voice rang out from above, which made Liu Yifei look up.

Seeing that Liu Yifei's face had turned blush, Gong Li was naturally well aware of the situation.

News from both domestic and international sources is largely consistent; the story of Jiang Wen chartering a private jet to Cannes yesterday has already spread.

Industry insiders are extremely curious about this work.

after all.

The fact that Jiang Wen is willing to invest so much and declare that he will definitely make money with dignity this time is enough to predict what kind of success "Let the Bullets Fly" will achieve.

Furthermore, there are Chen Yu, Ge You, Zhou Runfa, and Jiang Wen.

Any one of these four individuals would be a force to be reckoned with in the Chinese film industry.

Watching them act is an absolute treat.

"I'll be right there."

Liu Yifei blushed and put her phone back in her pocket. After chatting with Gong Li for a few minutes, she walked over to where the assistant director was.

buzzing-

When the bell rang again, Chen Yu subconsciously squinted his eyes.

When he subconsciously looked over, the soft lighting in the room made him feel a little awkward for a moment.

It took him a moment to realize what was happening.

He is currently at the Carlton Hotel near the Cannes Film Festival venue, without Liu Yifei by his side.

Just then, the ever-present cell phone rang again.

Chen Yu wiped his face, forcing himself to look refreshed.

When I looked at the time displayed on my phone, I realized it was already the next morning.

It seems I was really too exhausted after coming back last night, so I fell asleep fully clothed.

He casually pressed the answer button.

Jiang Wen's voice was already coming from the other end of the phone.

"Director Chen!"

"The venue is all set up, would you like to go take a look?"

This time, thanks to Chen Yu, who single-handedly carried the entire crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" to success.

Whether it's chartering a plane or the expenses of a series of subsequent activities.

It was all paid for by Chen Yu out of his own pocket.

The previous life.

Jiang Wen signed a lucrative sponsorship agreement with Red Bull Group.

All subsequent expenses, including venue and hospitality costs, were covered by Red Bull Group.

However, in this life, Chen Yu did not like to entrust these matters to others.

Furthermore, he has his own ideas about the follow-up activities for "Let the Bullets Fly".

"can."

Chen Yu answered Jiang Wen first, saying "See you in a bit," and then the two hung up the phone.

My thoughts drifted away.

The Cannes Film Festival has officially begun, and films will be screened here today.

Unfortunately, they have more important things to do now.

With that in mind, Chen Yu went straight to the bathroom and quickly washed up.

After changing into more comfortable clothes, I went straight out of the hotel.

The venue they chose was not far from the hotel.

Chen Yu and Jiang Wen discussed the matter and ultimately chose a location directly opposite the Palais des Festivals in Cannes.

A restaurant that can only accommodate about 100 people.

This was precisely Chen Yu's idea.

By highlighting the issue of venue availability, a sense of urgency is created, suggesting that "a seat is hard to find."

This will greatly attract the attention of media reporters and publishers.

Next, they just need to wait for May 18th to arrive.

At that time.

"Let the Bullets Fly" will kick off "Bullet Night"! (End of Chapter)
