Chapter 723: Devil's Heart

Under normal circumstances, Duke seldom acts disrespectfully in public. When he saw the actor surnamed Fan, he planned to ask the bodyguards to let her come over, but then he saw a few photographers who also came from the East not far away. The teacher is pointing the camera at this side, as if waiting to capture the picture of him talking with the other party at any time.

The other party came to Cannes to rub the red carpet, and in Duke's little impression of her, this can be said to be an iconic figure who rubs the red carpet of various film festivals.

Although he doesn't particularly mind the media using him to hype him, Duke definitely doesn't like it, perhaps because of the habit of looking at the world with a bad eye that he has developed over the years. He said to Tina Fey, Send her away. Walk.

Maybe he was thinking too much, but Duke didn't want to be the target of this topical actress.

According to his speculation, if the photographers hired by her take pictures of the other party talking with him and send them back to China, it is very likely that it will become A certain actress is appreciated by Duke Rosenberg and will soon star in him. new film', even 'Duke?

Based on the other party's past style, this may evolve into a fact.

Tina Fey walked over, casually said a few excuses such as Duke didn't want to be disturbed, and dismissed the actress.

She seems a little reluctant. Tina? Fey said after returning.

Duke shook his head, Don't worry about her.

After speaking, he continued to walk forward, not taking this matter to heart at all, and there was no need to take it to heart.

Along the Corniche, Duke came to the marina area of ​​Cannes, which was just a small pier in the shallow sea, and all the yachts parked here were small yachts. If a big guy like the Duke came over, he could only park in the open sea.

Now that I'm here. Duke was also going to visit the pier area, but just as he stepped onto the long pier bridge, a tall woman approaching him slowed down, and a face that would not blush on the red carpet appeared Kind of embarrassed and scared.

She stopped and stood on the side of the trestle, a little at a loss. He wanted to turn back, but hesitating, wanted to ignore Duke and walked over, but he couldn't do it at all.

Of course Duke saw this, and couldn't help but wonder when did he become a devil in the eyes of others?

Hey, Sophie. He walked over and stopped four feet away. He took the initiative to stretch out his hand, Don't you know me?

Hi, Duke. Sophie Marceau greeted cautiously, then shook his hand quickly, I...I just didn't expect to see you here.

Not far ahead is a small bar converted from a yacht. Sophie Marceau seemed to be walking over there. Duke looked at the empty yacht bar, pointed and said, Would you like to sit over there?

Sophie Marceau hesitated for a while. Still nodded, I can't stay too long.

Perhaps the whole world is buzzing about the director's talent and reputation. They all praised him for his kindness in actively participating in charity and social welfare activities, but Sophie Marceau knew very well that under the peaceful appearance of the other party, there was a devil's heart hidden!

Sat at a table on the yacht. She just asked for a glass of soda and looked at Duke opposite. It was this famous director who single-handedly cut off her career in Hollywood.

Sophie Marceau sipped soda water without saying a word. Although this is France, she still felt insecure.

Even though the other party didn't do much after she left Hollywood back then, and she gradually forgot about that memory, and cut off the idea of ​​going to Hollywood to develop, when she sat across from him at this moment, she was still a little terrified.

After all, the other party has been holding something that can ruin her reputation.

Thinking of this, Sophie Marceau put down the soda and asked in a low voice, Duke, some things have passed for many years, and I don't think there is anything involved between us.

I said... Duke tapped on the oak table lightly, As long as you don't come to Hollywood, there will be no grievances between us. You have always kept your promises, which is very good.

Sophie Marceau gritted her teeth and said, Then can you return the video tape to me?

Video tape? Duke was stunned for a moment, then thought about it, and couldn't help shaking his head, Sophie, I'm also a person who keeps my promises. After so many years, have you seen any related things spread out?

Frankly speaking, he had already forgotten about the video tape. If Sophie Marceau hadn't reminded him, he didn't know when he would remember the absurd things he had done.

It's just...just... Sophie Marceau was still worried.

After all, this kind of thing can only be guaranteed if it is held in one's own hands.

Duke has never been the kind of person who is paranoid to the point of insanity, otherwise he wouldn't just let Sophie Marceau out of Hollywood after helping him deal with Mel Gibson, but again, he It's not the kind of bad guy who can fly a plane in his chest, and he won't be so stupid to believe that people like Sophie Marceau will keep their promises after something is missing.

You keep your promise... Duke picked up his soda water and raised his hand to Sophie Marceau, I keep my promise too.

After taking a sip, Duke signaled Tina Fey to pay the bill, stood up and prepared to leave.

Sophie Marceau didn't give up yet, she looked up at him and said, What if I can help you get the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival?

Duke looked down at Sophie Marceau and said, Thank you very much, but you don't have to!

Compared with the popularity among the audience, Sophie Marceau is not very popular in the European film circle, and the road has become narrower and narrower over the years.

After getting off the yacht, Duke waited for a while, and Tina Fey quickly followed.

The two walked along the long trestle bridge, and Duke asked as he walked, Do you still remember the tape I gave you more than ten years ago?

I put it away. Tina Fey frowned and recalled for a while before saying, I put it in the underground vault of the manor that night, and it hasn't been touched since then, so it should still be inside.

She asked again, Do I need to find it when I go back?

Duke shook his head, Put it in.

Although he doesn't have a moral obsession, he doesn't want to do something too disrespectful when it's not necessary.

Some people in the North American film circle have always wanted to bring Mel Gibson back to Hollywood. Maybe he can bring Sophie Marceau back and continue to put on a good show?

It might also be a good idea to use the love of a French man against an Australian savage.

Now that he is staying in Cannes for the time being, Duke has also attended some Hollywood screenings. In this world, cultural products including movies do have commonalities, but regional differences are also an objective reality.

To a certain extent, Hollywood filmmakers, unless they have brain problems, will naturally protect the reputation and interests of this big circle.

Just like Martin Scorsese, despite the European media's touting, he still firmly calls himself a Hollywood director.

Duke was no exception, so Quentin Tastineau was at the Cannes premiere of Inglourious Basterds after being invited by Quentin Tastineau.

The screening of Inglourious Basterds created many firsts during the film festival. When it was screened in the media field for the first time, when the opening title Quentin was typed out, people began to applaud; When the names of Ting and Pete appeared, there was another round of applause. Fifteen minutes before the end of the movie, people began to leave the stage one after another, but it was not because the movie was not good, but because they were rushing to occupy seats at the press conference.

It's a very interesting movie about one gang of thugs taking out another bunch of jerks.

For Quentin fans, Inglourious Basterds is a movie that makes them very happy.

The film inherits Quentin's usual cold humor, sudden killing scenes, and bloody scenes that Quentin likes very much, all of which can be found in this movie.

What's interesting is that all the stories in the movie were fabricated by Quentin himself. For this reason, he also arranged a very special ending for Hitler-letting him die under the machine gun of angry Jews.

In addition to Brad Pitt and the biggest villain, other characters were arranged by Quentin to die role.

In the film, the scene of the theater fire is impressive. The Germans were locked in the theater like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, enduring the double torture of the fire and machine gun fire, and finally they were all killed by bombs.

This scene is completely opposite to the massacre scenes in the previous World War II movies, and Quentin's humor can be seen here.

Those reporters who insisted on watching the movie were blocked at the entrance of the news center and could not enter. This time, the photojournalists all flocked to the side of the press center by the aisle. When Pete and Quentin walked by, the entire press center was in a commotion. This is also the most grand event since the opening of the Cannes Film Festival, except for Fury Road. scene.

The European film industry rejects Hollywood films, but they have to face the reality that whether it is the media or the audience, during the three major film festivals, Hollywood films are the most pursued and craziest.

Some realities in these worlds will not be transferred by individual will or the ideas of a small group. European movies focus on the core idea if they sound good, but they are inexplicable if they sound bad.

As we all know, a good story is one of the foundations of a movie, but how many good movies in the European film circle can tell a good story?

Also, a good story can still attract people into the cinema, but a profound core idea will never be able to do so. The reason is not that audiences don’t like to think, but that if they want to think, there will be far more suitable choices than movies—Philosophy , history, psychology, society...

As a result, a very strange phenomenon appeared. European filmmakers considered themselves extremely high-end and disdain other types of films. However, the scope of their films was extremely narrow, and led to the continuous decline of the entire European film industry, and lost the past early. The location of the world cinema center.

Any movie has its reason. These people may dislike commercial movies with wider spread, greater influence, and larger audience, or they may hate them, but it is precisely because of them that the movie industry can grow and become popular in the world. Only by becoming a leader among numerous cultural industries can it survive and be further expanded and passed on. (to be continued ~^~)
