Hollywood New Century

Paris is the romantic capital of the world, but Simon doesn't like it much. It's not so much the pride of the French to live in romance, but in Simon's view, France is almost a black country!

Moreover, the filth of Paris is indeed true, and the bustling neighborhoods also cover up the filth of the place.

Accompanied by Eva Green, Simon, who visited Paris for three days, also lost his sense of the city, especially after the Beijing Olympic Torch Relay was blocked and protested in Paris in April, Simon wanted to help France. Have some fun.

In the evening, in the hotel bathroom, Simon Pike and Eva Green lay in the bathtub.

"By the way, the filming of "Crack" will start around October, and the filming will take place in the United Kingdom. I have to prepare well," Eva Green said, leaning against Simon's arms,

"How long are you going to stay in France?"

"We won't be here for a few days," Simon originally planned to buy a seaside holiday villa in France, but in June the European Cup between Austria and Switzerland will be held, and Simon still wants to take time to go there to see Spain win the championship, and The NBA lottery has also ended. The Nets have no luck at all. They haven't drawn a good lottery. The draft at the end of June should also be paid attention to.

"Well, the Woody Allen-directed feature film "Midnight in Barcelona" that was screened at the previous Cannes Film Festival felt very good, Simon, what do you think?" Eva Green felt that the screened film It's really high level.

"It's a good collection of Penelope Cruz, Scarlett Johansson, Rebecca Hall, Javier Bardem, and Woody Allen's best literary romance," Simon said of this The movie doesn't have much idea, but it can't be denied that the movie is really good. As for Woody Allen, who is now affected by Bill Cosby's sexual assault case, his character is not good, but his ability is still there.

"Now there are fewer and fewer films by independent directors, alas," Eva Green prefers European literary films, but in the general environment, especially the commercial nature and influence of Hollywood, literary films are becoming more and more It's hard to get the investment you need.

Simon stretched out his hand and squeezed the chest of the girl in his arms, and said with a smile: "These issues are not yours to consider. Movies are just an industry!"

"However, when I came to France this time, I did have some interest in the luxury brands here, Moët Hennessy-Louis Vuitton Group and Bino Spring Raydos Group, the luxury brands under the two fashion groups this year. Sales don't seem to be that great!"

Bino Spring Leidu (PPR) Group has not changed its name to Kering Group, and its most important brand is Gucci.

"Luxury brand?" Eva Green really didn't understand how Simon was interested in fashion brands again.

"Forget it, I don't have time now, I'll talk about it later when I have a chance," Simon said, standing up from the bathtub, and continued:

"Also, in the upcoming European Cup in Austria and Switzerland, I see that there are so many black football players in your French team. Does your country like black people very much?"

Eva Green shook her head, stood up and wiped Simon's back with a towel, while explaining: "I don't know, I'm not very interested in football, but now the proportion of blacks in France is indeed very high!"

"It's about to turn black anyway!" Simon said, picking up the girl and leaving the bathroom.

Half-lying on the bed, Simon was flipping through the French entertainment newspapers. "Welcome to the North" is a low-cost French comedy that has no market overseas, so he didn't pay much attention!

"Oh, never thought Sophie Marceau and Monica Bellucci were going to star in a feature film "Don't Look Back"?" Simon turned to a board, "French Rose" plus "Italian Flower", European The two most dazzling goddesses are going to play against each other on the same stage.

Eva Green lay on her side and hugged Simon's waist, smiling, "Are you interested in this movie, or are you interested in these two goddesses?"

"Hey, what do you think?" Simon smiled and said, "Hey, Sophie Marceau released a war-themed movie "Super Female Agent" in March this year, with an investment of $50 million, but the box office was a mess!"

"Don't forget, I'm from Hollywood, and I'm pursuing film business. In France, the best business is Europa Films!"

"The film company directed by Luc Besson, aren't we going to a party on the outskirts of Paris tomorrow? We will definitely meet a lot of people from the French entertainment industry," Eva Green raised her head and reminded.

"Indeed, Europa Pictures' slogan is to become the leader of European commercial films. Luc Besson wants to resist Hollywood business. Many of Europa Pictures' films are English-language films, and they are also for external distribution," Simon added. Not to mention, the reason why I am going to that party tomorrow is indeed for a movie from Europa Pictures.

The action film "Hurricane Rescue" starring Liam Neeson and produced by Europa Pictures, was released in France in February. The production cost was 25 million US dollars, and it is currently released in a few countries such as France, China, Belgium, and South Korea.

The domestic box office is also average, and the French box office is only seven or eight million euros. The largest North American market is still looking for distributors. After all, the big director Luc Besson is the producer and screenwriter of "Hurricane Rescue", and the director of the film is also Violent Neighborhoods: 13 director Pierre Morel.

Therefore, "Hurricane Rescue" does not lack North American distributors, but Europa Pictures is still choosing and negotiating.

Simon is of course aware that the North American box office of this small-budget film is very good, and it is a lucrative series that must not be missed.

"Ms. Sophie Marceau is mainly filming in France now, and Hollywood is not attractive to her anymore!" Eva Green heard Simon say that it was not for Sophie Marceau and Monica Bellou If I am interested in the movie "Don't Look Back" that Qi will star in, it must be that I am interested in people.

"Hehe, she's your French kiss, and I'm her fan too," Simon said, reaching out and touching Eva Green's face.

She stroked her finger on the girl's lips and said with a smile, "When I met you at the time, it seemed that Sophie Marceau introduced it!"

Eva Green nodded, then opened her mouth and bit Simon's finger lightly.

Feeling the softness of the girl's tongue, Simon thought about Sophie Marceau. At the age of 42, she still seems to be very attractive to men.

As for Monica Bellucci, despite being 44 years old, the **** label is still on her.
