It is different from Gong Mingcheng, who is like a hyena hiding in the shadows, who is both greedy and afraid of his prey.
Ning Weimin, who was staring at him from afar, was extremely busy.
Ning Weimin, who is in Cannes, France, now flies up almost without touching the ground every day, keeps socializing, and frequently rushing around in various places.
He is different from Just Need to Lu, taking photos, dressing up beautifully every day, eating and drinking well, Ning Weimin, a husband who is already a little worried and tired, so he has to bear everything.
Business.
He needed to take people to the screening, exhibitions, exchange meetings on behalf of Matsumoto Kyoko, meet with the film company owner, negotiate copyright transactions with them, and sign a box office share contract with Yingoujiana Company...
He also needs to accompany all kinds of new and old friends to eat, drink, play, and sing and dance to achieve peace like an envoy.
He even opened up the situation for the first issue of "Mist PANCH", and personally went out to "catch" famous directors and actors, and brought heads to the reporters he brought to him for exclusive interviews.
It seems that he is in Cannes, France, and it seems that he is going to devote himself to his wife's career.
But then again, his hard work was not in vain, and he really created a miracle.
On the evening of May 24, 1988, the 41st Cannes International Film Festival held a grand award ceremony in Cannes.
On this night, although the film "Crazy Rich" invested by the Mist Studios failed to win the highest award of this film festival - the Palme d'Or, it was also because of the public relations of Alan Delong and Catherine Deneuve.
He won the grand prize in the main competition unit second only to the Palme d'Or - the jury award.
The evaluations given by the jury of the film festival took great painstakingly.
That's what I said specifically - although this movie has no amazing plot, it is just a popular love story, it is a plain and sincere movie full of humanity and hope!
It combines multiple elements such as love, family, culture and wealth, fully demonstrating the charm and complexity of Asian culture.
First of all, the film is impressive in visual presentation, creating a world full of luxury and dreams for the audience through luxurious scene design, exquisite costumes and rich exotic atmosphere.
Especially the two spectacular wedding scenes at the beginning and end of the film have become a highlight of the film.
It not only shows the designers' ingenuity, but also shows the interesting differences and differences between Eastern and Western cultures.
Secondly, it is also a rare thing that the heroine of this movie plays this role as the most prestigious female singer in Asia and uses her most famous musical works as the film's soundtrack.
In this movie, the heroine not only showed her excellent acting skills, but also presented her real live singing on the big screen.
Not used in previous musical movies, when characters sing loudly at critical moments, they always give people a artificial and deliberate feeling.
This movie uses music and songs as emotional carriers and is a direct expression of the character's inner world.
It is precisely because of this that the judges generally believe that the most unique advantage of this film is that it challenges the traditional paradigm of film musicals and incorporates music into every detail of the story.
So the film also won the Golden Camera Award and the Best Art Contribution Award.
In other words, the movie "Crazy Rich" can be said to have swept Cannes and won three more awards in one fell swoop.
Although in addition to the jury prize, the other two are just small prizes, this is also a reward that is enough to surprise the world.
After all, this is a game in the white circle. It is unprecedented for a movie produced in Asia to win three awards at the same time.
This is not only true for Chinese-language movies, but also from the perspective of Japanese-produced movies, it also refreshes history.
Especially for Oze-Fung, who directed a movie for the first time, this Golden Camera Award, which was awarded to the new director, is of great significance. It is an extremely important affirmation, just like it was tailor-made for him.
From then on, with this award, his identity as a director in the Japanese film industry has become really solid and he no longer has to work as an assistant director.
Even if you leave the Fog Studio and make another movie investment, someone will be scrambling to deliver it to the door.
The same is true for Teresa Teng.
Although the Best Art Contribution Award was not given to her personally.
But obviously, the main factor for Crazy Richmond to win this award was due to her personal artistic achievements in the Asian music scene and her musical works.
This is too important.
There is no doubt that the Asian queen crown she originally wore would add a shining pearl to it, which would make others lose their lust.
It also gave her a chance to go out of Asia with her personal music.
After all, this is an internationally renowned film award and will also increase her reputation and fame in the European and American markets. This is of course what she dreams of.
This is even more than that before she came to France, Japanese national treasure singer Mikawa Yunqiu fell in love with the song "The Stream of the Flowing" she sang, and she was happy that she took the initiative to invite her to perform on the same stage.
Of course Teresa Teng knew that it was the film "Crazy Legend" invested by Wu Studio that made her successful, and it was also the "Stirring" given to her by Ning Weimin that made her even more glorious in her career, so she was naturally full of gratitude.
Not to mention that the release of "Crazy Rich" in Cannes has also achieved box office success in addition to awards.
Due to the humor of this movie, the love element is an internationally common selling point, and it also has the ultimate expression of the life and class gap between the rich, which are all things that ordinary people like the most and care about the most.
So the screening hall they rented was almost full of viewers, and they never saw the audience exit halfway.
This not only made Ying Ou Jiana, who was acting in this movie, greatly increased her confidence, but decided to add another 87 screens to the movie based on the original 300 screens.
This also means that Teresa Teng has completely whitewashed her reputation as a "box office poison". She is enough to prove like those who have joked about her that she can also be competent for the heroine and be a good movie that sells the top spot.
According to the current situation, this movie not only sells well in Japan, but is even likely to continue to succeed in box office in France and Europe. This is something that no one can do in the movie industry that she has contacted in the past.
Son.
Ah, no, maybe there is someone.
But, so what?
Miss Deng doesn't care, it's better not to mention that person...
In short, this "Crazy Rich" has undoubtedly become the guarantee of everyone's honor and future because of Ning Weimin's successful calculation operation and award-winning operation.
Even the reporters he brought were inexplicably surprised, which was enough to be used as the interview material for the front page headlines, but no one expected it.
So it goes without saying that Ning Weimin, who was in Cannes, has become a god in the eyes of everyone at this time, and can finally be regarded as a idol of everyone and accept everyone's worship.
This is exactly what he deserves.
Of course, he had to spend a little money on this and held a celebration for the success of "Crazy Richness".
This is not only a show-up, but also a practice in the French film and production circles to unblock emotions, especially for women who love dances and banquets over everything.
If it is according to Alan Deron and Catherine Deneuve.
That is, after making a successful movie, you must celebrate its birthday politely, just like holding an adult dance for your children, and let it bloom in front of all the guests so that you can live up to your life.
"You will be glorious because of this." After Katherine Deneuve made this suggestion to Ning Weimin, he continued to add, "Ning, if you feel troublesome about this matter, you have to let Alan help you.
, it is best to book the next best club, high-end venue, novel programs, free high-end food and drinks. The more actors and directors gathered in Cannes, the better. For VIPs, you need to send a concierge car to pick them up and drop off...
…”
"This is for me, I like carnival the most, and I'm the most capable of doing this." Alan Delong did not shirk responsibility at all, but a little regretful, "It's a pity that it's not Saint-Tropez's film festival, otherwise ours
The castle hotel can come in handy and save a lot of money…”
He knew from his tone that the expenses of this matter must be very amazing. Ning Weimin really hesitated for a moment, beating, "Is this... just for the sake of glory?"
Catherine Deneuve smiled immediately. The French don’t want Chinese and have a good tradition of thrift.
Especially women like her, they are piled up with money.
"You will also gain the friendship and attention of many people. Of course, journalists will flock to you, which is equivalent to indirectly promoting your video in France, or even advertising in Europe."
However, her words convinced Ning Weimin, so in this way, the most luxurious carnival dance in Cannes in May was in preparation.
On the day of the dance, in a nightclub called "Paradise", there was another grand event that was no less than a gathering of celebrities. Whether Ning Weimin knew or not, new and old friends of all kinds of skin colors were excited.
Come here to support us.
They don’t have to bring any gifts, just come with a smile and a heart, even a false smile is OK.
The guests invited were also well-known figures and were treated with the most polite reception, especially many people came in with their beautiful women's waists, with a twinkling light on their faces.
No matter what, this is to give the owner face.
But to be honest, Ning Weimin actually doesn't like such activities because he thinks that form outweighs meaning.
What else can you do in such an event besides show and enjoyment?
There is not much meaning. It is enough for guests to support each other and gain face.
Of course, it can expand interpersonal relationships, but in such a noisy environment, it is not very suitable to talk about important things.
Especially when Matsumoto Keiko is pregnant, it is inevitable that it will be harmful to her health when she is everywhere in smoking and drinking.
In addition, he had to treat guests with a smile, and he was inevitably tired and troubled. Of course, he would also feel sorry for his wife.
But there is no way, you have to follow the customs when you enter the countryside. Who makes the French love this tone?
He didn't want his partners to think that he was an inhumane person, misunderstood that he was a stingy person, and he couldn't even afford to pay for a dance party.
Especially considering the future promotion and distribution of films in the European market and the cooperation in filming, we need to get familiar with some people first.
To put it bluntly, this is actually just like domestic businessmen who like to buy luxury cars to ride, it is a face-saving project.
As a Chinese, if you want to come to France to explore the market, this kind of dance party is a cost that you have to pay.
However, what Ning Weimin most unexpected was that what he thought was the most unlikely to happen.
At this day's dance, the boss of an Italian film studio who was interested in making copyright transactions with him, actually brought a special guest and introduced it to Ning Weimin.
This is a tall and thin middle-aged man who looks a little lonely and quirky, cold and frosty. His reserved calmness and pointed chin, and his cold and sensitive blue eyes on his face make people feel a little uncomfortable. I feel like he is
It seems to hate the world and beware of everything.
According to the boss of the Italian film studio, since he had heard that Ning Weimin had invested in LVMH and almost bought Dior clothing, this person really wanted to talk to Ning Weimin for his family business.
The business that involves the equity transactions in his hands.
As a result, when Ning Weimin was stunned after hearing the other party's own report, he could hardly believe his ears, "What, your surname is Gucci? Is it... the Gucci I've heard of?"
"Yes, it's that Gucci, you're not wrong." The other party said seriously, "My name is Paul Gucci, I am one of the third generation of the Gucci family."
He added, "I came to you because you are Asian and I heard you are rich. So you should be able to afford the equity in my hands and it will not have anything to do with my family.
I might as well tell you frankly, I don’t have a good impression of my family, I am very disappointed with my relatives, and I have been abandoned by the Gucci family and driven out of the company. Now I have only one in my hands
Five percent of Gucci shares. If you have enough money and are willing to buy it, you can guarantee me that these equity will never fall into the hands of any of my family members. I can sell it to you.
How about it? Interested?"
Lightning strike! Absolute lightning strike!
Ning Weimin never expected that the Gucci family, the most well-known Italian luxury brand, would take the initiative to find themselves and sell shares to him.
To be honest, his understanding of this family is limited to hearing that the family has rich stories of infighting.
In the end, Gucci almost went bankrupt and had to sell it to Kering Group.
It seems that the fierce internal struggle of the Gucci family is really true, otherwise the other party would not have come to him.
Ah, by the way, it seems that there is still a while since Gucci was almost acquired by Bernard Arno because of internal strife.
Why? I am already so famous in the European fashion circle?
It actually attracted the Gucci family to come to the door and sell shares?
If he succeeds in buying, he will really become a "famous brand king".
Think about it, Kering and LVMH’s elite brands are in your hands.
