The Best Entertainment Era

The latest website: The person standing opposite Ronan is tall and tall, with a blond hair shawl and a retro black one-shoulder dress, which not only highlights the snow-white skin, but also has both classic and modern beauty.

Although Carmen Kath is far away from the fashion world, she is still called the god of cards by countless people and the media.

It is also the first and possibly the only ex-girlfriend that Ronan has ever had a serious relationship with after he came to this world.

The two haven't seen each other for many years, and they are somewhat unfamiliar.

Ronan smiled and said, It's a surprise to meet you here.

Carmen-Case said generously: I'm not surprised, because I came here specifically to find you.

Ronan looked around at the people coming and going, as well as the constant gazes of attention, and suggested: This is not a place to talk, let's talk somewhere else?

Carmen-Case smiled and said, Okay.

Ronan has participated in the Cannes Film Festival many times, and he is familiar with the surroundings of the Palais des Festivals. Considering the possible impact, he did not choose a place with too much privacy, but took Carmen-Case to the coffee shop on the first floor, where There are special decks.

After ordering coffee for Carmen Kath, Ronan asked, Why didn't you call me?

Carmen-Kath smiled: I lost your contact information.

This sentence contains too much content, perhaps also on purpose.

Ronan knew very well that the two gradually became indifferent back then, but in the end there was no contact, the main reason was him.

Maybe Carmen-Kath has been waiting for a formal commitment or admission, but what about him? After all, he made a single-minded choice similar to Leonardo.

I met your former agent some time ago. Ronan said: She talked about your situation.

Carmen-Kath added: When I quit fashion, she was disappointed and took another model.

Ronan smiled: I've seen her, her vision is as good as ever.

Really? Carmen Kath suddenly asked deliberately: Have you seen the new model she brought?

Ronan immediately heard the narrow meaning of these words,

Waving his hand: What I saw at a party was not what you thought.

Carmen-Case couldn't help laughing: I don't mean anything else, we also broke up peacefully back then, and I never complained about you.

This kind of words, if you say it openly, it will make people get along more harmoniously, Ronan also laughed, and asked deliberately: Really?

The strangeness between the two gradually disappeared, as if they were back in the past, Carmen-Case said solemnly: Speaking of which, I still want to thank you for giving up back then, otherwise...

Ronan pointed at her: Is it necessary to accuse me like this?

Carmen-Case smiled until her eyes narrowed into a long line: I've seen a lot of Hollywood gossip over the years.

Well, I admit it. Ronan was also frank: Hollywood was too tempting to me at that time, and I didn't want to give up a forest just because of a tree.

Carmen-Case picked up the coffee cup and took a sip: The past is finally the past.

Ronan said: I hope we will still be friends in the future.

Carmen-Case put down the coffee cup suddenly, opened the business card holder, took out a business card, and handed it to Ronan: To be honest, I came here specially to find you this time.

Ronan looked down at the business card: Chairman of the Estonian Tourism Association, Vice-Chairman of the Estonian Chess Association, Vice-Chairman of the Estonian Film Association...

This series of titles is even more unexpected than Ronan seeing Carmen Kath here.

Carmen-Case said: I quit the fashion industry to do business. My hometown, my country, many places are not satisfactory, and the development speed has become slower and slower in recent years. I have succeeded, and I hope to have a positive impact on my motherland. help.

Ronan didn't know much about Estonia, but he generally knew that in these countries that had undergone drastic changes back then, few of them had a good economic situation.

It seems that Estonia is well developed among these countries.

Ronan put away the business card and handed his personal business card to Carmen Kath: This is my contact information. I won't be staying in France for long. You can contact me when you go to Los Angeles.

Carmen-Case looked at it, and there was only Ronan's name and phone number on it.

She put it away solemnly: I saw the news this morning and knew you were coming to Cannes. I thought you would come to the premiere of The Departed Walker, so I came here specially to wait for you.

Ronan asked: Is there anything I can do for you? I will do my best for your business.

As long as it's Carmen-Case's private matter, he will help no matter how much he can.

Carmen-Case shook her head: Actually, I have done well in the past few years. Ronan, do you still remember what I said back then?

Ronan frowned first, then remembered: The richest man?

Probably I learned a lot from you in those years. Carmen Kath said with a little pride: I am not only the richest woman in Estonia, but also the richest man.

Ronan laughed: Congratulations.

I have always hoped to make a fortune while doing something for my country. Carmen Kath is just like back then, full of love for Estonia. The world's top supermodel like her, even if she quits the fashion circle, she can stay in Estonia. In the prosperous Western Europe or the United States, live the life you want to live. But she chose to return to Estonia after all.

This is not only unique but also extremely rare among supermodels born in Eastern Europe, Southern Europe and Russia.

Models from these areas, as long as they can make a little fame, they always leave like an escape.

Ronan said: Carmen, you are still the Carmen I know. You always have a lot of shining points in your body, and you do things beyond expectations.

Carmen Kath said modestly: Compared to what you have achieved, I am far behind.

Tell me. Ronan asked directly, What do you want me to do for you?

After all, Carmen-Case knew Ronan to a certain extent, and knew that this could be discussed, but whether she agreed or not would depend on the specific matter.

This is not her private matter, and it is impossible to force others to do so.

I have been to Bulgaria and Romania some time ago. Carmen Kath said solemnly: I learned from the film associations of these two countries that Relativity Entertainment is negotiating with them to discuss the establishment of overseas filming bases.

Ronan nodded slightly: There is such a thing.

In the beginning, Uwe Ball was the one who made the bridge and was responsible for the initial contact. After the two parties entered into formal negotiations, the official negotiation team of Relativity Entertainment intervened, and Uwe Ball returned to Los Angeles to continue to be the director of his dream.

Carmen-Case said: Can Estonia join it? Compared with Bulgaria and Romania, Estonia is no less inferior. You can send people to visit on the spot and then make a decision.

This can bring not only economic effects, but also effectively promote Estonia.

Ronan said: Carmen, this is not a private matter between you and me, but a group company, a country, I can't make any promises to you.

Carmen-Case answered, I understand.

Ronan would not make a decision rashly just because he was looking for an old lover. After thinking for a while, he said, I will send someone to Estonia to investigate later, and we will discuss the specific matters after the investigation.

Okay. Carmen-Case was already very satisfied with the result, but she asked again tentatively, Aren't you going there yourself?

Ronan refused without hesitation: I don't have time, so I won't go. He turned and said, When you come to Los Angeles again, you must notify me.

Carmen Kath said with a smile: If Relativity Entertainment and Estonia reach a cooperation, I will definitely go to Los Angeles.

Ronan knows very well that Carmen Kath and Estonia can be said to be the epitome of how European countries treat Hollywood today.

Today, European countries are competing to welcome the arrival of Hollywood, and the Hollywood team is happy to go.

Going to Europe to shoot films, Hollywood personnel can enjoy a bit of vacation experience, and the greater motivation comes from financial considerations.

In particular, Central and Eastern European countries are very attractive due to the film and television support projects opened in recent years and cheap labor costs.

The logic of European countries is that Hollywood’s local production of film and television dramas will create local employment and drive local consumption. It can also play a role in publicity around the world and increase its popularity, thereby stimulating tourism. Running these projects will help promote domestic The economy is worth the investment.

It’s not cost-effective if it’s just filming. During the conversation with Carmen-Case, Ronan has already begun to consider whether he can win generous tax rebates or other financial support terms in the contact with Estonia.

Ronan did not return to the premiere of The Departed, invited Carmen - Keith had dinner together, and then returned to the hotel alone.

That night, he contacted Robert Iger and asked him to send a professional team to Estonia for inspection.

Early the next morning, Ronan flew to England, dealt with some matters related to Manchester United, and returned directly to Los Angeles.

The Departed attracted a lot of attention at the Cannes Film Festival, especially the number of times Tom Cruise's character said F in the film, which is almost breaking the record.

Although this is an American gangster movie, the evaluation in Europe is not bad, and even many professional media believe that this is one of the best movies of Martin Scorsese's directorial career so far.

Of course, Ronan still appreciates the Hong Kong version more, but he also knows that the realistic style of the US version is more suitable for the Western market.

This is the inevitable result of cultural differences.

As for The Departed wants to win the Palme d'Or, the probability is so small that it can be ignored. Tom Cruise and Will Smith basically missed the performance awards.

Most likely, The Departed only received a few consolation prizes.

If he had known earlier that the chairman of the jury was the king of sunglasses, Ronan might have asked The Departed to cancel the trip to Cannes.

But this year, it was not until one and a half months before the film festival that Cannes announced the list of candidates for the jury.

Fortunately, the goal of The Departed is the North American awards season at the end of the year, and the Cannes Film Festival is just one of the many awards-winning schedules.
