"Chen Fang."

As soon as Nan Yi walked out of the screening hall, he saw Chen Fang from the Gunners' Company.

When Chen Fang heard Nan Yi's cry, he walked to Nan Yi and said, "Boss, why are you here?"

"Come with Sophie, where are you?"

The script of "Joan of Arc" was originally written by Chen Fang, who was responsible for leading the work. The script was written according to the characteristics of an unknown woman. It would be strange if Chen Fang didn't know the special relationship between Sophie Marso and Nan Yi, so Nan Yi would answer directly and honestly.

"Boss, you know, the company has signed many copyrights for novels. It's okay to have a best-selling book, but there is no need to worry about selling it. Some bad-selling books are about to expire in two years. I want to hurry up and sell them."

"Oh, is it going well?"

"It's OK, I've already talked about a few intentions." Chen Fang looked at his watch and said apologetically: "Boss, I've made an appointment with someone to discuss copyright, and the time is coming."

“Which novel is copyrighted?”

"Winston Grum's "Forrest Gump" has been in his hands for a long time, and it's been very easy for someone to be interested."

"Oh, don't stop me, go and do it..." Nan Yi just raised his hand and suddenly realized what the title of Chen Fang meant, "Wait a minute, Forrest Gump? Forrest Gump?"

"Boss, are there any problems?" Chen Fang asked confused.

"Did you carry this book on your body?"

"have."

Chen Fang took out the book from his briefcase and handed it to Nan Yi.

Nan Yi took the book and turned directly to the beginning of the first chapter, "I want to say: Being an idiot doesn't taste like chocolate. Others will laugh at you, be impatient with you, and treat you with bad attitude. Well, people say, treat unfortunate people well, but I tell you, the facts may not always be like this...

To be honest, I know a little about idiots. This is probably the only knowledge I know, but I have really read this - from the idiot written by the guy named Dostoevsky, to the fool of King Lear, and Faulkner's idiots, Bangui, and even Kill a Mockingbird."

Seeing this, Nan Yi had already confirmed that the book he was holding was what he thought was "Forrest Gump". However, he did not put the book down, but called Chen Fang to the corner. He continued to read it backwards. He ignored Chen Fang's repeated urging, and he finished reading the book in a hurry.

After a long time, Nan Yi closed the book and looked at Chen Fang who was already anxious, "Don't need this behavior, tell me, who are you having an appointment?"

"Wendy Findman." Chen Fang said with a look of dislodge.

"Producer?"

"right."

“Which company is from?”

“Paramount.”

“How many times did you contact me?”

“Third time.”

“Where were the first two times?”

“Los Angeles.”

“How long does it take?”

"The first time was a year and a half ago, and the second time was seven months ago." Chen Fang thought for a moment.

"Who takes the initiative?"

"First, I, the second time, the other party."

"What about this time?"

"It happened to be met, Wendy Findman asked to talk about it again."

Nan Yi thought for a moment and said, "Don't you feel like a fish being walked by her?"

"Walking the fish?"

"Yes, walk the fish when fishing and lifting the rod, and walk your patience and strength."

Chen Fang glared, "Boss, are you saying Paramount is actually optimistic about this book?"

Nan Yi asked replies without answering, “What year will be next?”

"In 1994, the 100th anniversary of the movie, most companies in Hollywood are preparing to launch good works next year."

Nan Yi patted the book in his hand, "1. Time is right. The people who have experienced the events described in the book are the main consumer force of movie tickets. As you said, the 100th anniversary of the birth of the movie, next year is the year of the movie, and the box office performance will definitely not be bad; 2. If you extract this book, you can summarize three words - the American Dream, which is very politically correct.

Two things, I hope to exchange the copyright of this book for $20 million. After the contract is confirmed, I will say hello to the author and half of the income I get belongs to him. When the money is officially obtained, all screenwriters from the screenwriters association, all writers in the United States and even Europe, know the benevolence and ability of our Gunners."

"Boss, $20 million is too much, Paramount may not agree."

"It's okay, let's talk slowly. When Paramount doesn't agree to it in mid-July, we don't need to talk about it any further. We will do this project ourselves."

"Okay." Chen Fang nodded reluctantly, "Out of politeness, I should still go to see Wendy Findman, although I have been late for a long time."

"Well, you can just look at Paramount's attitude. If the other person was still there when you were in the past, I think some things will be clearer."

"OK."

After Chen Fang left, Nan Yi returned to the entrance of the Film Festival Palace, and Sophie Marso was already waiting in a slightly remote corner.

Nan Yi walked up and said, "How are you talking about flat shoes?"

"It's not very good. Chen has no plans to make a new film yet." Sophie Marso was a little depressed.

"Did he not recognize you?"

"I recognized it, he didn't treat me perfunctorily."

"It's okay, don't be frustrated. You will definitely find a good video investment. If you are not afraid that I am a newcomer, you can invest in my videos." Nan Yi comforted.

"Your video? Are you going to be a producer?"

"No, I want to be a director."

"Adam, don't joke, you don't know how to be a director at all."

"Okay, no kidding."

Nan Yi originally wanted to say that there was nothing difficult about being a director. As long as he was willing to spend money, he found a capable director to be his deputy director. He just needed to sit behind the camera and pretend to behave. However, when he thought of Sophie Marso's love for movies, this was not a joke or not.

"Adam, we go to the Majestic Bachry Hotel, I want to go there and try my luck."

Nan Yi was surprised by the vigorous career aspiration that Sophie Marso suddenly ignited. Sophie Marso has been idle for many years and has never shown career aspiration. It seems that Sophie Marso is not just a love for movies, but may be considered a sincere heart.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

The Majestic Bachry Hotel is a designated hotel of the Cannes Film Festival Organizing Committee. Almost all the people invited to participate stay in this hotel. If there are 50% of the diners in the Palme d'Or Restaurant at noon are people in the film and television industry, then 80% of the hotel are.

Sophie Masso threw Nanyi in the open-air bar by the sea, and went to various public places in the hotel to find investment goals.

Nan Yilei saw this situation. He didn't want to see Sophie Marso live like a canary. He didn't expect her to make a lot of money. It's better to do something than to wander around every day and eat space and think about things.

I ordered a drink and two more magazines. Nan Yi fell into the back of the chair and flirted with freely.

On the other hand, the pretender, Gu Junhao, was the more he thought about what happened in the restaurant at noon. The Gu family became more and more angry. The Gu family was a big Chinese family that redeveloped after the change of life in Laos in 1975. The wealthy Chinese businessman returned to poverty. The Isala Group established by his father Gu Zhenghe is a commercial body in Vientiane, Laos. Gu Junhao always walked sideways in Vientiane, but unexpectedly, he was frustrated when he came to France.

After venting for a while, Gu Junhao drove away the young actor introduced by the middleman, picked up the phone at the head of the bed and called to Paris.

The Gu family had a family official in Paris. After the change of Laos, Chinese were forced to abandon business and join farmers. Two monetary reforms severely cracked down on Chinese people and confiscated their assets in disguise. Many Chinese who were panicked and tried every means to escape became refugees. At that time, as long as they could get a ticket to go abroad, many people would give up their assets they had accumulated with great effort.

Indochina wars were everywhere, disrupting the peaceful and prosperous life of the officials. All careers in Laos fell into a crisis that turned into nothing overnight. "Trees are moved to die, people are moved to live", and waiting is no longer possible, and the difficult choice faced is to abandon Laos' second hot land, migrate to a foreign land, and explore new worlds.

It is said to be migration, but it is actually a difficult self-exile. Guan Keqin, the second son of the official family, was born in Thailand in his early years. He went to Thailand. He is the founder and chairman of the Keqin Group. He is involved in processing, international trade, plantation, power generation, logistics and other industries, and has become a business giant in Thailand, especially in infrastructure construction, which has a greater impact.

The third old official was self-reliant. He graduated from the Business Department of New South Wales University in Sydney in 1968. In 1975, after the major changes in the Indochina regime, he took his parents, wife, daughter, and two sisters to Australia to start a new life.

He successively founded food production and trading companies in France, Thailand, the United States, Australia and other places, and founded the "Official and Trading Company" of Xianglu in 1981. At Xianglu is one of the companies that have made food exports relatively large.

In 1971, his fourth brother, Guan Kerong, was sent to France to study and studied electrical engineering at the National Polytechnic Institute of Lyon. In 1975, his eldest brother, Guan Kejian, who had just passed his forties, bid farewell to Laos and brought his sister, a sister, a wife and a son, and a child, to France empty-handed to meet his younger brother who was in college.

Since then, after the four Guan brothers fled Laos, they completed a strategic transfer of family cross-border migration, and each moved from the history of refugees to the era of second-generation family entrepreneurship.

When they first arrived in France, the Guan Kejian and the Guan Kerong brothers originally wanted to open a restaurant in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, but because of insufficient experience, they rented a store without gas, so they did not open it.

In 1976, the two rented a 30-square-meter small shop to do wholesale business on an inconspicuous street in the 12th district of Paris, and founded the "French Guan Brothers Company", and began the entrepreneurial process from small to large, from weak to strong.

Today, this company has become the largest import and wholesale retailer in France and the largest Chinese business enterprise in Western Europe. The two brothers Guan Kejian and Guan Kerong have also become the richest Chinese in France.

When Guan Kejian's brothers company was newly opened, there were no festive firecrackers or congratulations. The hard work in Laos that year had been wasted, so there was no working capital to support long-term operations.

If you want to survive in a strange and difficult foreign environment, you can rely on a spirit of self-improvement and the diligence and business skills that overseas Chinese and Chinese have. At the beginning of your business, Guan Kerong was both the general manager of the company, the coachman, and the porter.

In the second half of the 1970s, as Southeast Asian refugees poured into France one after another, more and more Asians gathered in the 13th district of Paris, specializing in Asian food imports and wholesale business. The official brothers moved the company from the 12th district to the 13th district on the other side of the Seine, and the company's business area continued to expand.

At this time, the Guan brothers keenly felt that imported and wholesale food alone could no longer adapt to market demand and changes. They had to set up a chain supermarket to sell goods directly before they could embark on the road of sustainable business. So they made a bold and practical decision: to build a modern supermarket.

On August 15, 1981, the Asian food chain supermarket "Guan's Department Store" transformed from an abandoned train freight station in the 13th district of Paris opened in the Ivry neighborhood of Paris. It is the first Asian food chain supermarket run by Chinese in Paris. It specializes in selling specialty foods from Thailand, China, South Korea, Japan, Lijiapo and other places in Asia.

The opening of Guanshi Department Store was a major turning point in the business of Guanshi brothers. Since then, the business has expanded rapidly and the turnover has flourished.

In 1987, the turnover of Guan Brothers Company exceeded 270 million francs, and it was listed on the list of famous French companies. It has already achieved good strength in Paris. After six years of development, the government's strength in Paris has become stronger, and it is a figure who shakes three times in the business world.

Of course, you need to add a small bracket and fill in the two words "Chinese".

Guan Kejian's son is Guan Weijie, and he is a child playmate with Gu Junhao. Gu Junhao's phone number was called. On the phone, Gu Junhao said that he was bullied in Cannes and wanted Guan Weijie to help him.

Guan Weijie, who received the call, did not dare to neglect, so he hurried to Guan Kejian's office. But when he knocked on the door and entered Guan Kejian's office, Guan Weijie found that Guan Kejian had guests, and was not ordinary guests.

The Chinatown in Paris is composed of Ivry Street, Choisy Street and Tolbiac Street. There is a saying in Chinatown that "double officials and two Xians" is about the Guan brothers who have a relatively large business in Ivry Street, the Wenchang Commodity Store on Choisy Street, and the owners of these companies - Guan Kejian, Guan Kerong, Xian Hongyu, and Xian Dingshan.
