"Bang bang——"

Zhang Qian first knocked on the door of his boss's office, then realized that he might not be heard if he knocked on the door, so he rang the doorbell.

"Please come in." Huang Baiyou's voice came.

Why can the doorbell be heard? Because when the small desk lamp is pressed, the red light will flash, and Huang Baiyou can see it.

Regarding this design, Wu Xiaoxiao also suggested it.

Zhang Qian, the head of the commercial department, handed over an endorsement invitation, and the other party offered a generous offer.

"With 20 million yuan in endorsement fees in half a year, Lotte's snack department is really generous." Huang Baiyou raised his head and said.

The endorsement ceiling for domestic male stars is about 32 million a year, and those who can reach the ceiling are top traffic stars.

"So are we refusing?" Zhang Qian asked.

"Refuse, don't give them this opportunity." Huang Baiyou said.

Zhang Qian expected that he didn't like the South Korean brand either, but such a high quotation still needed to be reported.

Brands seek celebrity endorsements for two core purposes: “let more people know” and “increase word-of-mouth.”

Lotte is willing to spend so much money, it must be for the latter. From bear biscuits, chocolate, ice cream to gummy candies, sales in China continue to decline.

Huang Baiyou was popular and had a good reputation, so he made this idea.

In fact, Huang Baiyou doesn't need to worry too much about the affairs of the studio. Chu Yuan's abilities are quite sufficient and he only needs to make decisions at key points.

After resting for another half month, his condition was getting better and better. Huang Baiyou's hearing had basically recovered to some extent.

The sound of wind, rain, morning exercises, even the noisy kindergarten noise in the early morning sounded pleasant to Huang Baiyou, and the sound of chirping disappeared.

"You can only know it when you experience it. It's such a blessing to have hearing and vision." Huang Baiyou went to Tie Lao to express his gratitude that day.

He brought several bags of fruit to his door. He originally wanted to buy a fruit basket, but Huang Baiyou remembered that the quality of the fruit baskets given to him by others was uneven, so he gave up decisively.

Another half month has passed, and iQiyi, which bought "A String of Life", is not broadcasting it. It is waiting for the Cannes Film Festival, or to be precise, waiting for the reviews of Huang Baiyou's new work.

If the reviews are not good, Huang Baiyou will serve as the producer of "A String of Life", "Huang Baiyou's first film behind the scenes of transformation."

If the reviews are very good, you can immediately follow the trend, and iQiyi will be successful.

Summer is passing and autumn is coming, and September is here before you know it. September is not an ordinary day for filmmakers. The crews of dozens of shortlisted films come from all over the world.

To explain, there are only 21 films in the main competition section. After all, the film festival has more than one section.

Huang Baiyou and the crew of "The Truman Show" flew to Cannes, located in Nice, France.

The cool breeze greeted you as soon as you got off the plane. The weather in Cannes in September is moderate, with the average daytime temperature only in the teens.

"It's our first time to attend the Cannes Film Festival. I hope we come back with a full harvest." Huang Baiyou said with a smile.

"Don't be too excited. Your acting skills will definitely show up a lot in the future. You will get used to it if you come a few times." Cen He is very familiar with it. After all, he has won the Palme d'Or, the highest award.

"The last time I came to Cannes was to participate in the advertising festival here." Lihuangnan said, "The advertising festival here is also very famous."

"The main thing is to promote the film festival." Cen He said, "The advertisement is too short and is destined not to become art."

Cen He was very decisive in his words, but no one would refute the director over the topic of whether advertising is art or not. It was not worth it.

As the third male and second female, Tavis and Uehashi Madou didn't have to come, but they came anyway, mainly to see the world.

"Did you bring a dress?" Cen He asked everyone. When everyone nodded, he said, "We have a red carpet show in the afternoon, so change your clothes in advance."

Cen He said this in front of people, but privately he said to Huang Baiyou, "Don't care too much about walking on the red carpet. The European and American media will not be interested in Chinese people until you show your strength."

"It's better to look forward to the movies being screened." Cen He said.

The Truman crew had a very busy schedule, mainly because of the director's own schedule, and he couldn't even get to the hotel to settle in first.

The group had a simple meal and then were taken there by a special car.

The opening ceremony of the film festival is held at the Alfred Hitchcock Theater. On the long red carpet, the shortlisted crew will appear one by one.

But Cen He was wrong about one thing. Huang Baiyou is quite popular...

"That's him. I heard that there is a Chinese actor who is hearing-impaired."

"May God bless him for suffering such misfortune at such a young age."

"Is he playing a deaf person? If it wasn't director Cen He, why would he choose him?"

"What movie is he starring in?"

Wait, yes, the big news caused by the announcement was not only circulated in Asia. The European media also got the news, but they didn't report it extensively.

After all, if a Chinese star is hearing-impaired, few Europeans would click on it.

But now that I am attending the Cannes Film Festival, the situation is different. It’s a small piece of news, not a big meal. “Hearing-impaired actor’s Cannes catwalk” is also a dessert.

"Is he the Asian actor in "M. Butterfly"?" Director Alex sighed. "He is a good actor. His acting skills in the role of a man disguised as a woman are outstanding. It's a pity."

"No wonder it looks familiar." The actor Powell next to him didn't care. He didn't look familiar either, because he hadn't seen M. Butterfly either. He just echoed the director's words.

The film Alex shot was "Black Friday", which was also in the main competition, and Powell was the protagonist of the film.

"I don't know what they are so proud of. When the screening starts tomorrow, you will know what a performance is." Lihuangnan was angry.

The reason why he was angry was that the people around him looked at him with "pity" and "curiosity". Lihuangnan must know who the eyes were looking at, but when a crew stands together, the crew becomes a whole.

"Oppa Huang Baiyou, there is no need to be angry, your performance is outstanding." Jin Yan comforted.

Ever since Huang Baiyou spent time playing against her every day, Jin Yan was conquered by Huang Baiyou's hard work.

As for Oppa Kim Ki Chan...

I'm sorry, Oppa Kim Ki-chan, don't come to me. I'm worried that Oppa Hwang Baek-you will be angry.

This is probably the reaction. Jin Yan is particularly obsessed with people who work hard, especially those who work harder than her.

After the opening ceremony, there was a movie screening, which took place in the middle of the Cinema Palace, the beach and the yacht area.

It covers an area of ​​approximately 44,000 square meters and includes 25 cinemas and screening rooms.

The screening lasts for ten days, and there are many movies shown every day. A quarter of the movies are world premieres, and you need a "guide book" to get there.

In order for tourists to have fun, there is also a casino in the movie palace area to ensure that money is flowing smoothly.

Huang Baiyou was about to go upstairs. After all, the Lumière Hall, Bazin Hall, and Debussy Hall upstairs were specially used to screen the main competition and Un Certain Regard unit finalists.

"There are no good movies during the day, and good movies are only broadcast at night." Cen Hemenqing persuaded Huang Bai, "Go and watch the International Film Critics Week section during the day. It is more interesting than the main competition section."

The International Film Critics Week section is the eldest son of the Cannes Film Festival. Huang Baiyou listened to the advice and went to see it.

It should be mentioned that "The Truman Show" will be broadcast at night...
