Hollywood New Century

In Paris in April, the temperature is not high, accompanied by frequent rainy weather, it is impossible to play as recklessly as Los Angeles when the temperature is around 10°C.

When Simon came to Paris, he participated in the film literature and art forum held at the Grand Palais in Paris to strengthen the cooperation and exchanges between Hollywood and French and European films.

A large number of French film dealers and filmmakers such as Gaumont Films, EMI Films and Europa Films participated in the forum.

French media such as Les Echos and Le Monde also participated as media guests. Of course, there were reports in the United States about the late actor Marlon Brando and director Bernardo Bertolucci's love for the late actress Marco Leah Schneider's bad injury incident is also a bit of an uproar in France.

"My thoughts? I think actresses should be respected. One or two people can't change them. We need everyone to work together!" Simon was also casual and muddy when he was interviewed.

The European entertainment industry is even more indescribable than Hollywood in this regard. European films have a deep pursuit of art, unlike Hollywood, which is basically a commercial pursuit.

What is film art? There is a lot of love between men and women in literary films. Europe is more open and bold than Hollywood. Directors and actors don't care about this at all.

Simon participated in the two-day film forum exchange meeting. After all, France is the birthplace of movies. Gaumont Films and EMI are the two earliest film companies in the world. It is more than ten or twenty years earlier than the oldest Paramount in Hollywood!

"Simon, go back and have a good rest! "Hurricane Rescue 2" is being prepared and will be released next year," Luc Besson said when he parted from Simon in front of the car.

Simon nodded, then got in the car and went back to his hotel, and then called Sophie Marceau to meet for the evening.

The Haute-Seine province in the west of Paris, as one of the provinces under the jurisdiction of the Greater Paris area, continues to move forward to the Yvelines province. The city of Versailles is the capital of the Yvelines province, and the famous Versailles Palace is in the town of Versailles.

As a famous wealthy area in France, whether it is public security or the environment, it is much better than the crowded and dirty Paris.

Sophie Marceau is located in the Haute-Seine department, a small town in Neuilly-sur-Seine, north of the beautiful and quiet Bois de Boulogne.

"Paris, to be honest, I don't really like it here, the streets are so messy when we pass the 16th arrondissement, there's **** and homeless everywhere," Simon is now standing with Sophie Marceau upstairs in her mansion, admiring Senna River scenery.

As the westernmost and largest district in Paris, the 16th district can be chaotic, just like the urban slums in Los Angeles.

"Don't people only see the prosperity and luxury of Paris? The evil side will not be known to everyone." As a person born in the suburbs of Paris, Sophie Marceau's understanding of the Paris region very profound.

"By the way, many people attended the Paris Film Forum meeting this time. You are a top French actress, why didn't you participate?" Simon asked, she must have been invited.

Sophie Marceau shook her head indifferently and said: "Many filmmakers in France don't like me very much. They blame me for speaking too directly. I often criticize some filmmakers."

Simon nodded. Before Hollywood, she had the disadvantage of speaking too straight, and smiled: "Not only you, Luc Besson, as a top French commercial film director, also has a lot of grievances;"

"He blames the French Film Fund for not supporting him enough, preferring to use the funds to support films that are losing money rather than supporting him."

Sophie Marceau frowned. After entering the entertainment industry for so many years, without commercial support, it would definitely not work. However, Sophie Marceau is also a traditional French literary stream in her bones, and the vase in commercial movies is really enough.

"Hey, I don't understand, Europa Pictures was originally designed to integrate European films against your Hollywood," Sophie Marceau sighed,

"However, neither market nor resources can be compared with Hollywood. Europa Pictures is also applying Hollywood's business model!"

"Unfortunately, French capital still likes commercial movies, isn't Gao Meng, EMI the leader in this area?" Simon said and took a sip of the red wine in his hand.

Gao Meng and EMI jointly established Gao Meng EMI Cinemas and Gao Meng EMI Film Archives to integrate resources to **** the European market.

"That's not the same. Whether it's France, Germany, Italy or other European countries, the support for art films is much greater than that of your Hollywood. It's not a purely commercial film industry." Sophie Marceau has a very bad feeling about Hollywood. Yes, although her experience in Hollywood has made her famous all over the world, she only exists as a beautiful vase.

pure movie? Simon was a little disdainful in his heart. Are there still pure movies in this world?

"Anyway, our 'Untouchable' was a huge success, and almost a quarter of the French population went to watch the film," Simon said, putting down his glass and wrapping his arms around the girl's waist.

Sophie Marceau is 45 years old, older than when she first met, and there should be no communication in the future.

"Well, this is your way of thanking?" Sophie Marceau laughed,

"You have to work hard that night!"

"Of course, the French kiss, who can resist this kind of charm?" He hugged the girl and kissed him.

"Well, how long were you in Paris?" Sophie Marceau asked after a while.

"How long, it's time to leave Paris soon, what should be celebrated is celebrated, and what should be discussed is finished," Simon thought for a while, then smiled again,

"Then I'll go to London, I have a Premier League club, and now there are only a few rounds left in the league! Then I'll go to St. De Ropez, which is a holiday, and take a yacht along the resorts around the Mediterranean."

"What, are you interested in going to Spain or Italy together?"

Sophie Marceau shook her head. Simon Pike's "Polaris" is known to be docked near the ports of Marseille and San Depero all year round.

"I still have work, movies, commercials and some product promotions." Sophie Marceau is indeed busy now, after all, she is not only an actor, but also a producer, director and so on.

"Okay, then I'll give you an unforgettable night," said Sophie Marceau and squatted down.

"This is indeed a bit unforgettable!" While admiring the night view of the Seine River, Simon has given up thinking, his brain is full of hormones that need to be released.

Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger, the ancients will not deceive me!
