One week after the opening of Cannes Film Festival, all kinds of excitement and noise during the festival have nothing to do with cute people or Mai Xiaoyu.


    Meng people didn''t participate in the competition, and no artists came to rub the red carpet, and Mai Xiaoyu also brought his works to Cannes as a "Black family".


    The Chinese film Corps in Cannes is not as quiet as cute people. Film premiere, reception, party, XX night, etc. almost all Chinese filmmakers can be seen on various red carpets every day, and Chinese films have been shown in the screening Hall of Lumiere palace for many times.


    Tonight, at various cocktail parties, dinners, parties, grand ceremonies, XX night and other social activities, people suddenly found that the figure of Chinese filmmakers was suddenly much less


    May 22, night.


    Mbiwa bar.


    At Christine''s strong request, Martin had to come to the bar with her early.


    The sound of people in the bar is boiling, the laser flashes, and the music is booming.


    They were surprised to find that they didn''t come early. It was only more than 8 p.m. and many people had gathered in the bar, most of them Chinese.


    "Oh, has it been occupied by the Chinese?" Martin asked, pretending to be surprised.


    "Martin, you don''t know that Mai is their compatriots. They came for Mai''s film. Don''t say strange words. I think we should find a place first."


    The location is hard to find. The card seats are full, even the side cards are full, leaving only the scattered counter and the high counter next to the bar.


    Since there are obviously more people coming to the bar tonight than in the past, the scattered stations have become popular.


    It was very easy for Christine and, er, Martin to find a casual stage suitable for watching movies, sit down, drink fruit juice and drinks, eat fruit plates and nuts, chat and wait for the movie to play.


    Martin looked around drinking wine and recognized several Chinese filmmakers from many oriental faces.


    He saw these people at the cocktail party a few days ago. They looked quite famous and even appeared in the bar. He couldn''t help but wonder: "since when did the Chinese people become so united? Is the theme of tonight China night?"


    "Maybe this is the charm of Mai. Look over there."


    Looking in the direction indicated by Christine, Martin recognized some European and American filmmakers.


    Some less well-known actors, singers, stars, etc. either revel on the dance floor or drink freely. It seems that they simply come to the bar to enjoy hi PI; However, Martin recognized other people: some middle-level managers of small and medium-sized film companies and distributors in Europe and the United States, presumably for the film.


    "It seems that I need to take back my words. The Chinese people have a lot of energy."


    "Do you believe me now? See, before he came, so many people came for him..."


    Mai Xiaoyu''s face is not so big. It''s really that Christine and Martin think too much.


    In China''s entertainment circle, cute people have been in a stand-alone state for a long time. How can so many domestic peers come to support it?


    Tonight, they came to the bar for the same purpose as Christine and Martin. They mainly wanted to see what kind of conduct cute man is, a science fiction film with an investment of $20000.


    Although they are generally not optimistic about the film, the cute gold lettered signboard is too shiny in China.


    If tonight''s film is successful, they can also open their eyes. They can analyze the selling points of the film at the first time, find ways to learn from it and copy the elements of success; If they threw themselves into the street as they imagined, they would have witnessed the destruction of cute people''s invincible gold body, which was worth the ticket price.


    As for the middle managers of small and medium-sized film companies and distributors in Europe and America... During the Cannes Film Festival, they came to the bar almost every night to watch the film and wait to pick up the leak.


    Of course, you can pay a little more attention to the movies of Mengren film and television.


    The cute "deadly ID" a few years ago grossed more than 80 million overseas. This achievement can only be counted as medium, but for small and medium-sized distributors, it is cost-effective. Therefore, the middle managers of small and medium-sized film companies and distributors who came to the bar tonight are a little more than a few nights ago.


    In addition to these two reasons, there are other factors. For example, there are six or seven people sitting in the card seat where ye Chu is located, and other card seats are scattered. There are many new faces, resulting in a surge in the number of bars at more than 8 p.m., significantly more than in the past.


    Ye Chu has been here for nearly half an hour. I wanted to talk to Mai Xiaoyu and ask about the latter''s plan tonight. But he turned around and asked his old classmate mbiwa. Finally, he made sure that Mai Xiaoyu hadn''t appeared.


    Does this mean that he is confident?


    Mai Xiaoyu''s confidence is uncertain. Ye Chu is not sure. What he can be sure of is that the bar business is good enough tonight.


    Just now, when he went to talk to mbiva, he heard the bar staff report the good news to mbiva, saying that the business is much better tonight. He suggested to buy more drinks.


    But... It seems that mbiwa is not in high spirits and does not agree to buy more drinks. Why?


    ……


    The time for the movie in the bar is 11 o''clock every night.


    The night is getting dark. As time goes by, there are more and more guests in the bar.


    As soon as 10:30 pm, when Xue Xiaoning left a party early and came to the bar, she got a reply from the bar - full, please line up.


    I''ll go. Is business so good?


    Xue Xiaoning turned her head and looked, didn''t she.


    There is a long line at the door of the bar. There are at least 20 young people, all foreigners and strong male foreigners with tattoos.


    Some foreigners looked at her, and some others whistled at her. Whistling with that kind of eyes, unspeakable obscenity.


    Dafei''s face turned black and he wanted to take someone to teach him a lesson. He was stopped by Xue Xiaoning.


    This is Cannes. Now it''s Cannes Film Festival.


    Her bodyguard clashes with a foreigner. Even if the other party is rude first, she will suffer a lot because she is a star.


    Xue Xiaoning stopped Dafei and asked, "didn''t you book a seat in advance?"


    Yes!


    Before Dafei retired from the army, he served the leaders at the regiment level. How can such a small matter be neglected.


    He asked someone to protect Xue Xiaoning. He went to the receptionist Tom at the door of the bar and asked in English, "we booked a place yesterday."


    Tom said expressionless, "sorry, there are too many guests today. The reservation is invalid."


    "How can you do business like this? Do you have any credibility?"


    Tom gave him an idiot look.


    At this time, Mai Xiaoyu appeared from the other side with Ke Haoyi: "Tom, how''s the bar business tonight?"


    "Guests are full!" tom answered and hurried to meet him. "Here you are, Mr. Mai. According to your request, we have reserved a side card for you. Your friend has arrived."


    What''s going on!


    Big fly was furious and quickly took a few steps to catch Tom: "aren''t you full of lobbyists? Our reservation is invalid. Why reserve it for him?"


    "Hey, I warn you, you''d better let go quickly, or I''ll blow your head!"


    Mai Xiaoyu walked over and patted Dafei''s arm: "friend, talk well. Don''t do it."


    "Brother Fei, don''t do it." Xue Xiaoning came over surrounded by five or six bodyguards and attendants and looked at Mai Xiaoyu with great interest, "Mr. Mai, what a coincidence."


    "It''s you. It''s so beautiful tonight. Why don''t you go in?"


    "Thank you for your compliment. I''m late. There''s no place in the bar."


    "You''re lucky to meet me. I don''t know whether the beautiful lady will appreciate it and accompany me in for a drink?" Mai Xiaoyu went to xuexiaoning and stretched out his arm.


    Xue Xiaoning smiled and took his arm: "OK, I''m looking forward to the movie tonight."


    Dafei tried to stop it, but Tom interrupted: "if it weren''t for Mr. Mai''s face, I would have knocked out all your teeth tonight."


    "Well, Tom, they are all friends. Take this and calm your angry heart."


    Mai Xiaoyu took out 100 euros, and Tom happily accepted it: "Mr. Mai, you are the most generous guest I have ever seen."


    Tom accompanied Mai Xiaoyu and his party to the door of the bar. Mai Xiaoyu suddenly stopped and looked at the queue at the door.


    In the crowd, six or seven foreigners stared at him with a bad face.


    Mai Xiaoyu smiled and waved at them: "see you in the bar later."


    "Hum!"


    "Hum!"


    Several angry grunts rang out in the crowd.


    Mai Xiaoyu smiled in his heart: it seems that Ning Shirong didn''t disappoint me!


    Xue Xiaoning didn''t understand, but her good tutor made her suppress her curiosity, didn''t ask, took Mai Xiaoyu''s arm and walked into the bar together.


    As Tom said, the bar is really full!


    When entering the door, the heat waves mingled with music, wine and perfume, and the men and women along the walls were frantically kissing on the wall under the stimulation of alcohol.


    When Tom accompanied Mai Xiaoyu and others to the border card, there were already two people sitting inside, and there were a lot of wine on the table.


    Shi Hao and his assistant.


    "Mr. Mai, you''re here."


    "Sorry, Mr. Shi, I''m late. Let''s introduce Xue Xiaoning, Mr. Shi of Hualong film."


    Shi Hao''s eyes flashed a strange look, smiled and shook hands with Xue Xiaoning to say hello. The two sides even knew each other.


    Xue Xiaoning''s entourage is a little too many. The side card is a little small and can''t sit down. Dafei had to let two or three entourages guard at the door of the side card.


    Everyone took their seats. Tom brought the drinks again, and the table was full.


    Mai Xiaoyu asked, "where''s mbiwa?"


    "He said he didn''t want to see you until the movie was over."


    "Ha ha ha!"


    With the laughter of Mai Xiaoyu, Tom left.


    Xue Xiaoning asked, "Mr. Mai, do you still know French?"


    "A little understanding, a little understanding."


    Shi Hao was also slightly surprised, but he was more concerned about how Mai Xiaoyu planned to hype this man from the earth tonight.


    But with Xue Xiaoning around, he couldn''t ask.


    On the contrary, Xue Xiaoning took the initiative to shift the topic to the film.


    After having a drink with Mai Xiaoyu, she suggested that the side card was too biased. After the film was shown, the viewing effect was poor.


    "Miss, this position is very good," Dafei said first.


    The location is really good.


    Side card, side card, side card seat.


    It is located in the corner of the bar, adjacent to the aisle on one side and the side card next door on the other side. There are several men and women sitting. It looks like there is no threat.


    In case of a fight, he only needs to temporarily block the enemy attacking from the front. He can escort Xue Xiaoning away in the shortest time.


    Will it fight?


    The meaning of what President Han said on the phone last night has been very obvious; When he entered the door just now, he also found that the foreigners staring at Mai Xiaoyu in the queue at the door of the bar exuded hostility.


    If possible, he would prefer Xue Xiaoning not to sit with Mai Xiaoyu, so as not to be affected by fighting later.


    The old driver is experienced, not only the Han family, but also the Ye family.


    When ye Chu saw Mai Xiaoyu and Xue Xiaoning coming in together and wanted to say hello, he was stopped by his bodyguard.


    "Chu Shao, President Ye has specifically explained that you can''t meet President Mai tonight."


    "Why?"


    "For your safety."


    "Are you thinking too much? I came to the bar to see a movie, and you followed me with so many people; I went to say hello to my friends and said it was dangerous... This is Cannes, and now it''s Cannes Film Festival!"


    "Chu Shao, we also follow orders. Before I turned around, some guests didn''t have the right way..."


    ……


    There''s something wrong with some guests in the bar tonight.


    If ye Chu''s bodyguard is suspicious, the bar staff is sure.


    "Boss, something''s wrong tonight. I saw Joseph the wild cat and his friends. They''ve never been to our bar before."


    "Maybe our bar is too famous now. Who knows?"


    "But I also saw Mad Dog Bill and his friends..."


    "Who are you talking about?"


    "Mad dog bill!"


    Joseph the wild cat and bill the mad dog are the leaders of two groups of young people in Cannes. They are Cannes natives. They often bully outsiders who come to Cannes to make profits through illegal means such as cheating and stealing.


    But they never bully Cannes locals, so the locals don''t hate them, with one exception - they meet.


    Joseph and bill are at odds and dislike each other, as can be seen from their nicknames.


    Usually in Cannes, the two groups divide their sphere of influence and forbid each other to step half a step. If anyone dares to trample on the scope of others, or two people meet, it is often accompanied by a fierce conflict.


    Cannes police department has a headache, but there is nothing to do.


    Will there be a good time for two people to get together at the bar in mbiwa tonight?


    "Computainmerde!" mbiva cursed in French, "tell the guys that if the two madmen fight, they will hide far away..."


    ……


    At eleven in the evening, the film was shown on time.


    In this regard, the guests who come to the bar have already adapted. If you like watching, you can stay, order a glass of whisky and watch a movie; If you don''t like it, you can turn around and go to another bar to continue hi PI.


    "Bill, the movie begins."


    In a luxury card seat, Bill''s men warned.


    Bill frowned, looked at Joseph in the card seat in the distance, grinned and said, "who can tell me why that connord (silly Beep) came."


    "What are you afraid of? We''ll kill him with the yellow monkey!"


    "Fool, when was I afraid of him? But we haven''t all come in yet... Damn, why are there so many guests in the bar tonight!"


    The men who went to inquire about the situation came back with bad news: "bill, they seem to have more people than us."


    "That''s why I have to wait until all our people come in!"


    This condition is easy to reach.


    Not everyone likes to watch movies in bars. Although this man from earth is dressed in the coat of science fiction, the opening animation is very brilliant, but it can not change its essence. It is a soft science fiction that promotes and deduces drama style in the form of pure dialogue.


    Many guests come for science fiction movies, and science fiction in their eyes means laser, warship and metal.


    However, after the beginning of the film, they are greeted by the dull beginning, the dull process... In addition to the dull or dull!


    This is unacceptable to drinkers who still have active dryness and heat factors in their bodies.


    One, two, three... More and more drinkers left and transferred to other bars. The full bars gradually became empty. Bill''s men who were still waiting in line finally came in!


    "Bill, we''re in."


    "Boss, you can do it."


    "OK, I''ll assign tasks..."


    Bill was assigning tasks to his men when suddenly someone jumped out to rob them


    After a loud crash, Joseph the wild cat shouted, "what dog shit movie, smash it for me!"
