During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 93 Transaction with International Chapter

"Director Wei, it's really you, long time no see!"

There was a smile on Zhang Ziyi's face. As a judge at the Cannes Film Festival this time, it can be said that he has shown his face internationally and domestically. His status has distanced himself from the big stars in the country, and he is naturally in a good mood.

"Congratulations, you have been shortlisted for the film festival."

"Hello, Miss Zhang, thank you."

Wei Jin behaved a little politely. In fact, the two of them had no friendship at all. On the contrary, Wei Jin rejected Zhang Ziyi more than once. They were all in the same circle, and they didn't meet when they looked up. At this time, meeting Wei Jin was a little awkward.

"Don't be so polite, Director Wei. I have always wanted to cooperate with you. By the way, where is Lizi?"

Zhang Ziyi acted calmly and generously, as if he didn't mind.

"There must be a chance. In fact, I admire Miss Zhang's acting skills."

Wei Jin also adjusted his mentality. In fact, in the entertainment industry, as a director and capital, it is normal to reject actors. Cooperation is called fate.

"Sister Li doesn't live here. I'm on my way to her right now. Can I come with Miss Zhang?"

"Thank you, Director Wei, for your recognition of my acting skills. It just so happens that Lizi and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's get together."

Zhang Ziyi didn't care whether Wei Jin was being polite or not. She wanted to establish a relationship first. Even though she was already an internationally renowned actress, she still had to keep her head down in front of a big director.

Then the two of them walked together to the Majestic Hotel where Zeng Li was staying.

"Ziyi, why are you here too?"

Zeng Li was very surprised when she saw Zhang Ziyi and Wei Jin sitting in the hall waiting together. After all, they were classmates for more than ten years, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Lizi, long time no see, you are getting more and more beautiful, and your skin is also good. I really envy you."

Zhang Ziyi's words were full of envy, and her words were also a pun. She couldn't believe that Zeng Li had nothing to do with Wei Jin.

"It's not as good as you said. By the way, let's go to dinner together and chat while eating. How about that?"

When Zeng Li extended the invitation, Wei Jin would naturally not stop him. Zhang Ziyi also had this intention, otherwise why would he come here so eagerly? Is it really just a classmate reminiscing about old times?

The three of them soon arrived at a restaurant, sat down and called the waiter, and they started ordering.

Looking at the two people sitting side by side, Wei Jin was surprised to find that Sister Li actually looked younger than Zhang Ziyi. You know, there was a three-year age difference between them.

"Lizi, you've become famous so quickly. Last year you were only popular in China, but this year you've reached Cannes."

Zhang Ziyi really sighed. Among the 96 Golden Flowers of Class 7, Zeng Li has always been a tepid and transparent person. Unexpectedly, in less than two years, he has become famous to the level of a first-line star. If this time If she can win the award in Cannes, she will be the second Chinese actress to be awarded the title in the years of Cannes. The previous one was Man Shen.

"It's also luck. Director Wei values ​​​​it, but it can't be compared to you, who has already entered Hollywood."

Zeng Li naturally looked humble and complimented his old classmate.

It's a pity that Zeng Li's praise did not make Zhang Ziyi happy. Last year's "Memoirs of a Geisha" made her reputation plummet, and Hollywood is not as easy to break into as imagined. So far, she has not starred in an A-level blockbuster. , she can still brag about herself in China, but in Hollywood she is actually just a small role.

However, the old classmate's praise had to continue, and Zhang Ziyi also knew that Zeng Li had no other meaning.

"Return to Director Wei, who is to blame for your affairs?"

There was a hint of amusement on Zhang Ziyi's face. Although he had little contact with his classmates at the Chinese Opera, it did not mean that he had no information channels. The entertainment industry was not a place where secrets could be kept.

Thinking of this, I started to envy Zeng Li's luck. Why did he fall in Wei Jin's eyes? My thoughts wandered for a moment.

"But don't worry, I will definitely vote for you this time. Who gave us ten years of friendship?"

Zhang Ziyi's words were very arrogant, but Wei Jin didn't take it to heart. What he cared about at the moment was why Sister Li would rub her feet against him on such an occasion.

"Thank you in advance. Let's eat first. I'm a little hungry." Watching the waiter serve the food, Zeng Li quickly greeted her old classmates, and the two chatted about their school days. For a moment, they really looked like best friends.

After the meal, Zeng Li apologized and got up to go to the bathroom, but the friction under her feet did not disappear.

How could Wei Jin not know that the culprit was Zhang Ziyi in front of him, and thought that this woman was so brave.

"Miss Zhang, what are you doing?"

"Director Wei, I can give you whatever Li Zi can give you, but I don't know if Director Wei is willing to give him a chance?"

Seeing that there was no interruption from Zeng Li, Zhang Ziyi made no secret of her purpose and looked at Wei Jin with swaying eyes. She believed in her own charm.

"Ms. Zhang, you are joking. How virtuous and capable is Mr. Wei that he can fall into Miss Zhang's eyes?"

Wei Jin didn't want anything to happen with this woman. This woman was not as rational as Fan Bingbing. Once they had a relationship, it wouldn't take long for the entire circle to know about it.

Seeing that Wei Jin really had no idea about him, Zhang Ziyi felt a little angry.

"Is Director Wei fully confident about winning the award this time?"

Wei Jin could naturally hear the meaning of these words, but he couldn't sell meat, but normal transactions were fine. Thinking of this, Wei Jin had an idea:
  "Ms. Zhang, I have a project in Hollywood at the end of the year. Is it suitable for your schedule?"

"Oh? What project? How much investment?"

As expected, Zhang Ziyi took the bait thrown by Wei Jin and no longer stared at Wei Jin himself.

"It's a feature film, the investment is not big, but I'm going to invite Leon to participate. Of course, if you don't like it, I can promise you a Hollywood A-level blockbuster."

As soon as Wei Jin said this, Zhang Ziyi's eyes widened. You must know that Hollywood A-level blockbusters are not just casual. Only projects with a production cost of more than 8000 million US dollars can be called A-level blockbusters. Wei Jin actually Can you do this for Zeng Li? For a moment, I wanted to get close to this man again.

Of course, Wei Jin didn't just talk nonsense. He was originally going to make an A-level blockbuster, and it was nothing more than giving him a medium-sized role. It was far less costly than Zhang Ziyi imagined.

"My only request is that at this film festival, use all your connections to help me and help Zeng Li win the award."

After hearing Wei Jin's words, Zhang Ziyi calmed down a little. Although he was a judge, he did not have as much power as he imagined.

This year's Cannes Film Festival, including the chairman of the Sunglasses King, has a total of 9 judges, but Zhang Ziyi is not that capable of convincing everyone.

"I can't guarantee this. I can only say that I will try my best, and I guarantee that I will vote for you."

"That's enough. I also hired a professional public relations team."

Wei Jin also knew that Zhang Ziyi did not have as big a role as imagined, but even so, he could at least influence the Sunglasses King and even more people. There is also an idiom called "If there is not enough success, there is more than enough failure." That's all. Judges.

"That's good. Don't worry. Since it's a fair transaction, I will keep my word. After all, Lizi is also an old classmate of mine."

Seeing that the deal was reached, Zhang Ziyi played the emotional card again, not wanting to leave a bad impression on Wei Jin.

"What are you talking about?"

Zeng Li came back from the bathroom and saw that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between the two.

"It's nothing, I'm just talking about you. I really envy you, Lizi."

Zhang Ziyi's words were true. She truly envied Zeng Li for having such a man who was willing to pay for her.

Afterwards, they chatted for a while and then returned to the hotel. It was not easy for Wei Jin to live with Zeng Li. To be on the safe side, it was best not to have any scandals with Zeng Li during the film festival. Of course, he had to ask his assistant Liu Yan to come over in the evening. Go to bed.

Chen Zhiming rushed to Cannes with the rest of the crew early the next morning. It was Wu Lei's first time going abroad. When the little guy came to a foreign country, he was not nervous as expected, but full of excitement.

The group quickly checked in and after a short rest, the opening ceremony of the film festival was approaching.
