Chapter 261 (1/2)
”I'm trying to buy a New Zealand director Jane Campion's film called” sweet sister ”, which is a black comedy with a very small structure and focuses on family dysfunction and female sexual psychology. However, the director has a lot of ideas on the soundtrack and composition of the film. The most important thing is that the film is highly completed and the story is very smooth. Even the audience who are not interested in artistic films will not feel bored in the process of watching the film. ”
The hilltop villa in Le canet.
When Ella doichman and Robert REM arrived, they went into the dining room and chatted about recent events over lunch.
As early as the Cannes Film Festival's main competition unit film has just been determined, Simon got the film list for the first time. Besides ”my left foot” and ”sex, lies and videos”, Simon's other two movies are Giuseppe tonadore's ”cinema in heaven” and Jane Campion's ”sweet sister”.
Needless to say, ”Cinema Paradise” is the best foreign language film Oscar in 1990.
As for ”sweet sister”, Simon has not seen the film. He is interested in its director, Jane Campion. Another film directed by Campion, farewell to the piano, is one of Simon's favorite films. Of course, the film originally released in 1993 has not appeared yet.
In this film festival, Simon's plan is to let Ella doechman play freely first, and then decide whether to intervene or not according to the result.
At this time, Simon was very satisfied to hear that doechman also saw Jane Campion's film, especially the commercial consideration of the film in doechman's words. It's a business philosophy that Simon has been instilling into doichman to operate art films as commercial films.
In the dining room.
Simon listened to doichman and asked, ”can I have a copy? I'll see for myself these days. ”
Ella doechman thought for a moment, nodded and said, ”I'll try. It's no problem”
the servant served another dish to the public.
After a pause, Simon picked up the tableware, tasted the red wine stewed beef in front of him, and asked, ”is there any other good movie besides sweet sister?”
”Bertrand brier's” too beautiful, ”Giuseppe tonadore's” cinema in heaven ”and Dennis arcante's” Jesus in Montreal ”are all hot awards, as well as our” my left foot ”and Columbia's” sex, lies and videos. ”. However, this year, many film companies in North America are focusing on Cannes, especially the films we see. So, I'm not sure I can get these movies. ”
Simon's ”Lola Run” in 1987 won the jury award of Sundance Film Festival and became the box office champion of that year. In 1988, ”vulgar novel” won the Golden Palm Award of Cannes Film Festival and almost became the annual champion of last year. Although there is no direct causal relationship between the box office success of these two films and the corresponding film festival, they have successfully aroused the attention of film dealers in various countries to the award-winning films of the film festival.
Last year, a series of box office outbursts of Denise Entertainment's films also made the whole Hollywood keep an eye on every move of the film company. This kind of gaze has made danelis entertainment miss many projects, including sex, lies and videos, but it's obviously not over yet.
”If you can't get the film, you can try to sign some directors' next film contracts ahead of time, which should be easier,” Simon told doichman
Ella doechman agreed and said, ”I've always been using the” ultimatum ”strategy. Gaomen film will not easily fight with other film makers.”
Simon nodded, looked at Robert REM and asked, ”Bob, where's your side?”
”I've established contacts with some film dealers in Eastern Europe these days. The situation there has been a bit turbulent in the past two years, but at the same time, I've also deregulated the film market,” Robert REM said. He seemed to have no intention of complaining: ”Simon, I've been on international business trips for more than 10 years in recent months. I'm leaving Cannes next week, and I'm going to fly to Brazil right away. Maybe Hollywood will come back No studio distribution executive is busier than I am. ”
Simon took a look at REM and said with a smile: ”the company is in the stage of rapid expansion. We are not all the same. I wish we had been busy for two years. However, if you are not satisfied with the company's business aircraft, I can approve renting a better one. ”
Robert REM laughs in agreement. He is disappointed. He doesn't know if Simon really doesn't understand his subtext, but he also changes the topic wisely.
Lunch ends at one o'clock in the afternoon.
Ella doichman and Robert REM leave and return to the hotel. Sophia leaves to make final preparations for Gucci night tonight.
Everyone was busy with their own affairs, and the servants were sent away, so the villa was quiet.
Simon has no work schedule in the afternoon, so he seldom has leisure time. He stays alone under the eaves of the living room upstairs to read all kinds of technical information about computer network that Jennifer has recently collected. His female assistant helps him to redefine his schedule for the next few days downstairs.It's more than two o'clock.
In the Mediterranean afternoon, the sun is shining from the open eaves. Simon is leaning against the sun chair, most of his body immersed in the sun, reading a paper on HTTP protocol. Natasha Kinski comes silently behind him.
Simon saw the woman squatting down beside his reclining chair. She had changed into a red suspender dress. She looked at him like a cat and asked, ”are you going out?”
”The film I was in, spring of the rapids, has a show at three o'clock.”
Simon nodded, ”Oh.”
He knew about the film.
At the beginning, Valerie Gallino almost played the leading role in this new film, which was prepared by the famous Polish director Jez skolimovsky for several years. Only because of the role invitation of cat girl, did she choose to give up. The film had its premiere on the 15th. Although it is a film that Jez skolimovsky has carefully prepared for many years, compared with the director's other films, the media evaluation of ”spring of the rapids” is very low.
Natasha Kinsky saw Simon react coldly and said directly, ”you go with me.”
Simon saw some films that will be shown in the film festival this afternoon after lunch, including ”spring of the rapids”. None of them interested him, so he preferred to stay at home. When Natasha Kinsky said this, he shook his head and said, ”No
Natasha Kinsky thought, squatting close to him, and said, ”I told Jennie you slept with me.”
Simon turned a page of his paper and said casually, ”if you do this, there will be only one result. Either I will drive you out of here, or Jenny will drive you out of here.”
Natasha Kinsky frowned, as if in distress, then moved closer to Simon and said, ”well, I can't tell her.”
Simon felt a pair of lip flaps almost close to his ear, reached out and pinched the woman's chin, said: ”other people's entrustment is completed, accompany me to bask in the sun for a while.”
With this woman's aloofness, if it wasn't for other people's request, she didn't bother to invite Simon to watch any films, even those starring her own. Just like last year's Cannes main competition, Simon thought that this woman would vote for vulgar novel, but she just came to her liking.
Natasha Kinsky shook her head and shook Simon's hand, but instead of going to the side reclining chair, she got up and stepped on Simon, leaned down, put her head on the man's chest, moved to find a comfortable position, so she lay down on him and narrowed her eyes.
The soft and cool girl is considerate to herself, blocking the warm sunshine. Simon just smiles and says, ”sleep. I'll take you to the party in the evening.”
Then he continued to look at the paper in his hand.
The woman on her body was just quiet for a moment, then she raised her head again, grabbed a button in the middle of Simon's shirt and pulled: ”uncomfortable.”
Simon reached over, lifted the button with two fingers, and the white button flew out.
Natasha Kinsky's eyes fell not far away with the flying button, looked up at Simon, and then pasted it again with satisfaction.
When I wake up, the figure of the man is no longer around.
The sun is setting.
She is still sleeping posture, close to the recliner, breathing to feel a familiar and strange breath, eyes patrol, not far from the ground is still lying on the button.
The corner of the mouth can't help but gently lift up a touch of radian.
Living here for a year, she felt a kind of relief she had never felt before.
You can live the most comfortable life without any effort.
