The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 47: The first encounter between the rich lady and the small rich lady!

……

Canon makes itself its spokesperson?
Lu Zhiyuan seemed a little surprised when he heard the news.

I'm not a star?
"Ayuan, you don't know this."

"I specifically asked someone to investigate Canon's situation... They have internally assessed that with the continuous iteration and development of smartphones, the demand for entry-level cameras among ordinary users will be greatly reduced."

"Next, Canon will adjust its product line internally, focusing on high-end series and developing new products for professional users, especially those lenses that cost tens of thousands of yuan."

"As a gold medal photographer, you've been shortlisted for an international award like Cannes, and you're famous for your portraits. If you win a major award... for those professional photographers, you'll be their idol."

Zhao Shanshan gave Lu Zhiyuan a brief analysis.

Lu Zhiyuan’s current situation is like that of a competitive game player who has won a world-class championship in an international competition.

In this way, wouldn’t the peripherals he uses be popular all over the world?

Ordinary people may not be able to perceive it.

But for those professional photographers, Lu Zhiyuan's award has served as a good role model for them.

Especially for those camera production studios (CPS), when purchasing, they just need to lean slightly towards Canon products.

This is a huge market.

As a director, Lu Zhiyuan’s endorsement does not necessarily require him to appear on screen like a star and shoot commercials.

Sometimes, using reputation as an endorsement can have the same effect.

——There is a landscape photographer in China named [Wang Jianjun], who has served as a brand ambassador for Hasselblad, Canon, Kodak, and Fuji, and has almost achieved success in the industry.

"Ayuan, don't worry. I'll find someone to help you get a big contract. I've seen their cards, and I won't let you suffer any loss."

While eating, Zhao Shanshan felt very pleased to have such a handsome and artistic man sitting opposite her.

The most important thing is that even though he has become internationally famous, Lu Zhiyuan remains calm.

Many people who become famous overnight or suddenly become rich will reveal the ugly face of a nouveau riche... For example, Xin Yukun, who was just nominated for the Cannes Film Festival, but he was already so proud of himself.

There hasn't been a single ghost in sight these past two days.

He didn't make this movie.

Director Lu Zhiyuan is doing preparatory work in the hotel every day, while Xin Yukun, who plays a supporting role, is out there having a good time?
Really abominable.

"Mr. Zhao, thank you for your trouble. I'll toast you a glass."

No matter what, getting some extra endorsement fees is something to be happy about.

At dinner, Lu Zhiyuan made an exception and had a few drinks.

This made Zhao Shanshan very happy.

Lu Zhiyuan never drinks alcohol, but today when he had dinner with her, he made an exception and toasted her.

She is so prestigious!

I'll tell Jingtian later that I really want to see her jealous!

……

In the next few days, Lu Zhiyuan wrote several more articles, attacking the weaknesses of "White Ribbon" and "The Prophet" respectively.

After Zhao Shanshan asked someone to translate these articles, she sent them to some professional film critics. She paid them some money to have them polish them before publishing them.

That's what film critics do.

Where there is controversy, there is traffic.

Film critics make money, newspapers sell well, the Cannes Film Festival is discussed, and tourists flock to it, driving the development of the local tourism economy.

Except for the two teams of "White Ribbon" and "Prophet", the performance was a bit depressing.

It can be said that everyone is happy in this war of public opinion.

Not to mention the spectators, these days are as lively as a festival.

……

——【The White Ribbon, a ridiculous emperor's new clothes! 【Haneke】has made no progress over the years. It also analyzes the darkness of human nature, but The White Ribbon is not even as good as his earlier work The Piano Teacher!】

——["The Prophet," a carefully packaged gangster myth! [O'Dea] portrays the prison ecosystem as a romanticized cradle of godfathers. This is not art, but an insult!]

……

Lu Zhiyuan watches the fun every day.

Some of these articles were written by him himself.

However, after he set the pace, he soon hid his achievements and fame.

Immediately afterwards, countless follow-up film review articles appeared in the media newspapers.

It is estimated that the teams of "White Ribbon" and "Prophet" suspected that the other side was unethical and acted shady, so they launched a fierce counterattack.

But he, the real mastermind behind the scenes, had already stopped his activities and disappeared in the crowd.

After successfully provoking a war of words, Lu Zhiyuan calmly came ashore, wearing a suit and tie every day, and attending private cocktail parties and celebrity parties with Zhao Shanshan.

During this period, he met many wealthy people and important figures in Europe.

Of course, there is no shortage of socialites and female stars who give him hotel room cards.

But the next second, he threw these things into the trash can.

because……

"hey-hey!"

"Sister Shanshan, I told you I wouldn't make the mistake. Ayuan doesn't like those coquettish female celebrities! Especially those European and American female celebrities, with their large pores and strong body odor."

On the third day after Lu Zhiyuan arrived in Cannes, Miss Jing Tian came. She used the excuse that she was bored at school and came to Cannes for a vacation to relax.

In the past few days, when Zhao Shanshan took Lu Zhiyuan to attend social dinners, Miss Jing Tian accompanied them throughout the whole process.

As Lu Zhiyuan's female companion. "Tiantian, if you like him, you should act quickly... I have an undercover agent on the set of "Heart Labyrinth," and he told me that Liu Shishi's enthusiasm for him is a bit too much."

Zhao Shanshan felt that Jing Tian seemed to be a little trapped.

The story made up by Lu Zhiyuan, about the girl he fell in love with at first sight on the Xi'an city wall, the girl he could never forget, Jing Tian seemed to have really believed it?
How could there be such a coincidence in this world?

He made up a story, sold her songs, and even filmed a music video for her.

It's clearly a routine!
However, since ancient times, true love cannot be retained, only routines can win people's hearts.

During this period of time, Lu Zhiyuan has already proved his talent... As for those little tricks before, Zhao Shanshan doesn't mind anyway.

From beginning to end, Lu Zhiyuan never showed any improper thoughts about Jing Tian.

On the contrary, the girl Jing Tian is particularly concerned about Lu Zhiyuan.

If other female stars looked at Lu Zhiyuan a few more times or chatted with him for a few more words, she would grit her teeth and she could smell the jealousy on her body even from a long distance away.

"Sister Shanshan, thank you for reminding me. I should find an opportunity to show my presence."

Jing Tian was secretly happy just now. Lu Zhiyuan was indifferent to everyone else, but was particularly considerate to her, which made her feel very happy.

As a result, Zhao Shanshan told her that she had a love rival.

Liu Shishi, right?

You dare to compete with me for my man? I want to see how capable you are.
……

Croisette Beach.

This one is located on the beach near Cannes.

In May every year, this beach is full of stars. In addition to tourists, you can occasionally run into many world-famous stars here.

The Cannes Awards Ceremony officially begins.

The war of words in the media has reached its peak, and finally in the past few days, the voice of "Maze of the Heart" has begun to grow louder.

It even gradually overshadowed "The Prophet" and "The White Ribbon".

The publicity for these two films has been oversaturated in the past half month, causing many people to develop a rebellious mentality.

"Maze of the Heart" came out at this time, bringing a lot of freshness and arousing people's interest.

As the person involved, director Lu Zhiyuan disappeared at this critical juncture.

This is the right way to open Cannes.

The closer it gets to the final moment, the more you need to remain calm and demonstrate composure and composure as if everything is under control.

To the French, this is more elegant.

Cannes loves this tone.

These award-winning strategies were tailor-made for them by the veteran James, and have long been verified by countless predecessors.

"Ayuan, when was the last time you walked on the beach with a girl?"

On the soft beach, a gentle breeze blew, curling up Jingtian's hair.

She tilted her head, narrowed her eyes slightly, glanced at Lu Zhiyuan secretly, and asked casually.

In fact, the ears are standing up high.

"It must have been in my previous life."

Lu Zhiyuan spoke the truth very frankly.

When Jing Tian heard this, she felt that this sentence showed Lu Zhiyuan's intentions.

He had never walked on the beach with another girl in his life.

Haha!

A single man since birth, a pure and innocent boy who only draws one person in his life!

Miss, I am super happy now!
Today, I will pay for all the consumption!
Get high for me!

"You are the most beautiful French girl I have ever seen. There are stars in your eyes. I want to take you back to China..."

not far away.

Xin Yukun was wearing the highest-grade [pink card] given by Cannes to important guests around her neck, and was chatting up a young French star.

Perhaps it was because the [Pink Card] was so effective that even though Xin Yukun used his half-baked English, he still made the girl giggle.

However, suddenly, Xin Yukun received a text message.

It was sent by Liu Shishi.

"Brother Kun, Teacher Li Jianyi and I are here. Where are you and Ayuan?"

Seeing this text message, Xin Yukun looked back.

Lu Zhiyuan and Miss Jing Tian were walking on the beach.

The golden sunset fell on Lu Zhiyuan and Jing Tian, ​​making them look like a pair of golden boy and jade girl.

Music was playing not far away, it was the kind of soothing dance music.

The atmosphere is just right.

Full of sweet love atmosphere.

However, Xin Yukun's eyelids twitched and he suddenly felt that the situation was not good.

Finished!

The big rich lady and the small rich lady are about to have a confrontation!

"Kun, I'm free tonight. Do you want to come to my room and eat oysters?"

"Baby, but I'm busy. I have to collect my brother's body tonight!"
