Chapter 501

"Of course, no problem, Ms. Deng, please sit."

"Let me introduce you. This is Excited Reba, Zhao Liying, and this lady is Ms. Deng Wendi, the CEO of Fox."

Seeing this, Excited Reba and Zhao Liying were instantly filled with awe.

They had heard of Deng Wendi.

The wife of news tycoon Murdoch, a woman hailed as a legend.

Even if they didn't know her, they would know 21st Century Fox, one of the eight major Hollywood companies.

She is the CEO.

"Hello, Ms. Deng."

"Hello, Ms. Deng."

"……"

Deng Wendi chatted with Excited Reba for a bit, then looked at Qin Yu and said.

"Qin, *The Chumen World* was filmed very well."

"The transparent light in the glass bottle pours out all the secrets, and the butterfly in the bottle shows its beauty in the laboratory."

"All the real light and shadow around him just shine in through a layer of glass bottle."

"The beauty of the outside world is a temptation to him, or a cruelty."

"……"

Qin Yu smiled and didn't speak. He wasn't surprised that Deng Wendi could see the elegy of *The Chumen World*.

After all, if she didn't have some skills, she wouldn't be able to hold onto the position of CEO of Fox.

Even if she was Murdoch's wife.

"Just filmed it for fun."

"……"

"Qin, that's a bit hurtful. Filming for fun and you can still get nominated for eight Cannes awards."

"And I heard the buzz for the Palm Tree is quite high too."

Qin Yu shrugged and said.

"That's just hearsay."

Qin Yu wasn't stupid; he was clear-headed. Trying to feed me sweet talk? Is Qin Yu someone so easily fooled?

Whether he wins an award or not doesn't matter.

Anyway, he's just playing this one time.

Deng Wendi was also a bit depressed; this guy Qin Yu was indeed slippery.

"How about this, Qin, why don't we make a bet."

"Bet on what?"

Qin Yu asked while taking a sip of wine.

"Let's bet on whether *The Chumen World* can win the Palm Tree. I bet it can."

"What are the conditions?"

"Very simple. If I win, Fox has priority global distribution rights for *The Chumen World*, excluding China."

"And if you can't?"

"If I can't, I'll personally lose you three million US dollars, how about that?"

Qin Yu laughed when he heard this. Is she here to send me warmth, or is she really that confident?

"I don't need the money. I accept this bet, but if you lose, you just need to advertise my new movie on Fox TV News."

"Are you talking about this movie, *The Chumen World*?"

"No, the next one!"

"……"

"No problem!"

"Happy cooperation~"

The two chatted for a while longer, and Deng Wendi got up to say goodbye.

A smile appeared on Qin Yu's face; this time there might really be a chance.

Fox seemed to have some influence in Cannes.

"Brother Yu, are you stupid? Three million US dollars, that's twenty million RMB, why didn't you take it?"

"Idiot."

"You little round face!"

"……"

"Talking about money is so vulgar." Qin Yu touched Excited Reba's little face.

"Besides, one advertisement might not even be worth three million."

Excited Reba puffed her cheeks; she still thought money was better, three million.

And in US dollars.

After strolling around some more, Qin Yu took the two back to the hotel.

And on the other side.

The word-of-mouth for *The Chumen World* was gradually spreading.

"Wow, bro, you're in Cannes too."

"Yeah, Charles, how is it? Which movie is better to watch?"

"Naturally *The Chumen World*. I suggest you go take a look; it's a very interesting movie, very interesting director."

"Qin?"

"That's right, I like Qin, *The Chumen World* is very good."

"Okay, then I'll go take a look."

"……"

Soon, some local reporters also finished watching *The Chumen World*, their faces full of surprise.

"Joseph, I've decided to go back and write a special report for *The Chumen World*. Wow, *The Chumen World* is really good."

"It's very wonderful, but I don't know why, it's clearly just a normal plot, why do I feel so deeply after watching it?"

"……"

"It's very simple, sir, because this is a movie that satirizes reality. Don't you think you and I and many people are Chumen?"

"Didn't you have some distant dreams that were defeated by reality when you were young?"

"Perhaps we like Chumen because he did what we couldn't do."

"That makes sense."

"……"

"Brother Liu, the movie~"

"Let's go, this guy Qin is really hateful." Brother Liu sighed.

After watching *The Chumen World*, his feeling was the same as Michael's; he didn't feel happy.

Instead, he felt very sad.

"What are we going to do?"

"Go back to the hotel, write a draft, brag, and earn miserable money!"

Xiao Li: "……"

At night.

Qin Yu also learned about the explosive scene from Liao Fan, Zhang Yimou, and others.

"Director Qin, you have to be careful. Being a big hit is not a good thing for a movie that wants to win an award."

Several men were drinking outside and talking.

"It's fine, it doesn't matter. If we don't win an award, getting more box office is also good."

Although everyone says big hits are doomed.

But Qin Yu felt it was okay; a big hit can at least earn more money.

It's better than those that aren't hits and didn't win an award.

"Qin Yu, your mentality is good. Even if you don't win, there will be opportunities later."
