The global actor starts with the villain

Xu Nuo was really surprised that he would meet this famous director, screenwriter, producer and actor here.

You must know that Rob Cohen is mentioned in the American film and television industry, which is also well known.

He has directed three very famous films.

Fast & Furious!

Xtreme Agent!

Top secret flight!

Each of these three films grossed more than $[-] million worldwide, making them genuine blockbusters.

After a brief introduction, they started chatting.

Promise's English level is top-notch, and he is very comfortable in such conversations, and he chats easily and casually.

Since they are here to participate in the film festival, they will naturally talk about the parasite that is sweeping the world.

"Xu, I heard that you are the lead actor and sole investor of this movie, right?"

Cohen asked.

"Yes!"

Xu Nuo nodded, without any intention of denying it, and said casually: "I was the director Bong Joon-ho I met at the Busan Film Festival in South Korea."

"After chatting, I think the selling point and storyline of this movie are good, so I invested in it and acted as the leading role by the way."

"Well, your vision is very sharp. This film now has a good reputation all over the world, and I dare say that this film festival will definitely win something!"

Cohen nodded.

After chatting for a few words, Lin Zhizhi suddenly said: "Cohen, didn't you say that you have always wanted to find someone to play the role of the Chinese emperor in your script? There is a ready-made one in front of you."

"How about it? Do you want to talk about the script with Xu Nuo?"

"Yup!"

Cohen actually wanted to talk about this a long time ago, but he kept talking about the topic, but he couldn't talk about it.

Now that Lin Zhizhi said it, he would naturally not miss it again.

"Xu, have you watched The Mummy Part [-] and Part [-]?"

mummy?

Xu Nuo nodded subconsciously after being slightly stunned, "Of course I know, I have seen these two movies, they are very good!"

"What? Could it be Director Cohen, do you want to shoot the third part?"

"That's right, I just want to shoot the third part, and the idea of ​​my shooting is to live forever, which is to tell the story of your Huaxia. The content of the story is like this"

"So, what I need is a Chinese actor to play the emperor. I thought about contacting you before, but I didn't have a chance. I didn't expect that we would meet here."

"Xu, are you interested in acting?" Cohen offered an olive branch just like that.

Xu Nuo bowed his head and pondered for a moment.

He didn't have much impression of this movie, and if he didn't have an impression, it meant that his previous world hadn't been shown, at least it hadn't been shown before he traveled here.

But does it matter?

unimportant.

Because the first and second parts of the mummy series are very classic, with the first two as the basis, even if the third part is bad, how bad can it be?

What's more, Rob Cohen's golden signboard is there.

I have time on my side, so I agreed.

"Director Cohen, since you have said so, I am naturally willing to participate, but I also need to read the script."

"Great!"

Cohen said happily: "Well, if you say you have time now, let's go back to the hotel and I'll talk to you about the movie script."

"no problem!"

Just like that, Xu Nuo followed Lin Zhizhi and the others back to the hotel.

Lin Zhizhi didn't follow, he just acted as an intermediary to recommend this kind of thing, if he said that he continued to stay, he would be uninterested.

But before leaving, he told Xu Nuo: "Xu Xu, Cohen is a very rare director. If you cooperate with him, you will definitely increase your influence in Hollywood, so I hope you can cooperate successfully."

"If the script is okay, then I will definitely not refuse!"

Xu Nuo smiled.

after an hour.

Promise and Cohen officially signed on the film.

Xu promised to play the role of the villain Dragon Emperor in The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.

Chapter 440 Palme d'Or Best Film Award

Farewell to Cohen, back to the hotel by night,

After entering the room, Xu Nuo was still quite excited.

At this moment, Han Xiao didn't sleep, and was still waiting here. His heart was also full of anticipation, looking forward to the letter of intent that he promised to cooperate with Rob Cohen.

After all, if you continue to participate in this kind of international blockbuster, it will be of great benefit to enhance the promised international influence.

So when he saw Xu Nuo walking in with a smile on his face, Han Xiao rushed forward and asked excitedly.

"Brother, is it done?"

"Well, it's done!"

Xu Nuo nodded and replied with a smile.

"Oye!"

Han Xiao immediately smiled, knowing that there was no problem!

Brother Xu will definitely be able to finalize the cooperation of this blockbuster movie!

"Han Xiao, keep this matter a secret for now!"

Xu Nuo followed and exhorted.

"understand!"

Han Xiao said eagerly, "Brother, it's really the right time to come to the Cannes Film Festival this time. Even if we don't win an award, it will be no loss for us."

"Yeah, it's good to be able to win this role."

After reading the script, Xu Nuo is also quite satisfied.

"Brother, have you discovered that these large and small film festivals are your blessings, and you can always get something at these film festivals."

Han Xiao followed suit.

"Well, don't say it, it's really the case."

After thinking about the promise, it is indeed the case.

"Brother, how about, let's celebrate and go drink something?"

"Okay, let's have a midnight snack!"

The next day was the awards ceremony at the Cannes Film Festival.

As a world-renowned film festival, when the awards ceremony started, everyone who came over was dressed in Chinese costumes, smiling, and looking straight ahead.

They are all the crews of the shortlisted films, and they all came here with great hopes.

"Who do you think will win the Palme d'Or this time?"

"The films that participated in the selection are all very strong. It's really hard to be sure."

"I think the Korean movie Parasite is still very promising."

"Oh, yes, I thought so too!"

In the midst of this discussion, Xu promised that they would sit quietly.

Although the Parasite crew said they were looking forward to it, they acted very calmly. After all, being able to participate in such a big award ceremony has already earned them.

With the host's speech, the awards ceremony began.

Soon, it was time to present the best picture award.

"Congratulations to Parasite for winning!"

When the award presenter opened the envelope and read out the name, the audience erupted.

Bursts of thunderous applause began to ring out one after another, and the parasite crew was even more upset in an instant.

accident?

Surprise?

Very unexpected, very pleasantly surprised.

Even if Feng Junhao and the others had hope in their hearts, not everyone dared to say that it would definitely be able to accomplish this.But now it's really done, and it's so smooth and natural.

Parasite crushed all the shortlisted films with an absolute attitude, and successfully won the Palme d'Or for best film.

"Haha, let's go!"

Xu Nuo and Feng Junhao hugged, then pointed to the stage and said.

Bong Joon-ho stood up, straightened his clothes, and strode towards the podium.

He is the director of this movie, and he deserves that honor now.

At this moment, his whole brain is actually blank. At this moment, he doesn't even think about fame and wealth at all. He only knows that he has succeeded and won an award.

After receiving the trophy, Bong Joon-ho stood in front of the microphone.

After scanning the audience, he began to give his acceptance speech, and after the very formulaic speech, he finally looked in the direction of the parasite crew, and then said with emotion.

"The last person I want to thank is Mr. Xu from Huaxia. He is not only the leading actor of our movie, but also the sole investor of the movie."

"If it wasn't for him, this movie wouldn't have come out, thank you for his trust in me, thank you!"

After finishing speaking, Feng Junhao bent down and bowed towards Xu Nuo.

"Clap!"

Everyone who saw this scene applauded excitedly.

At this time, the camera was also aimed at Xu Xu.

Looking at Bong Joon Ho who was bowing and bowing, Xu Nuo was a little surprised, he would thank himself.

The promise is conceivable, but I didn't expect the way of thanks to be so grand.

There is really no need for this.

But since Feng Junhao did it, Xu Nuo naturally accepted it with a smile.

"Ouba, our movie won an award, and it was the best picture award. I really can't believe it!"

Pu Sudan felt quite dreamy until this time, his eyes were faintly shining.

"It's normal for a movie we shot with our heart to have such results."

Xu Nuo nodded.

"It's so exciting."

Pu Sudan laughed.

"Hey, I'll treat you to a big meal after the awards are over!"

"Okay!"

As Bong Joon Ho bent down and bowed to thank him, Rob Cohen, who saw this scene, also felt lucky for himself, glad that he was able to find a promise to play the role of Dragon Emperor in the movie.

"Xu Nuo is a very interesting actor. His investment vision is very precise. Not only the films invested in China have not failed, but also in South Korea."

"As you can see, a film called Parasite not only exploded in box office and word-of-mouth, he even won the Palme d'Or."
