During his short trip to Cannes, Simon came quietly and left quietly, leaving behind a cloud.
It was not the confrontation with a newspaper reporter who wanted to gain fame at the LVMH charity party. Even if Simon was the winner of that verbal confrontation, he would naturally have no idea about the limelight, so the news afterwards was only It was spread in a very limited small circle, and there was no information in the media.
As for Princess Diana who attended the charity party that night, she disappeared without a trace for several days, and her interaction with a certain man during the period was even less likely to be reported.
The only thing that was made public was that Simon attended the premiere of The Devil Is Coming.
However, the news only goes so far. Simon did not comment on the film, and the media did not dare to make up any comments out of thin air. However, as before, the movie was not less hotly debated and controversial this time. Instead, Simon added fuel to the fire, making it even more eye-catching.
The extremely high popularity made the film the most potential contender for this year's Palme d'Or. At the same time, China and Japan also exploded. On the one hand, the government directly sent people to ask the film to withdraw from the film festival, and on the other hand, there was a collective protest against the content of the film by the government and the public, which was very lively.
Of course, Cannes officials are happy to see this excitement. At the same time, the main creator did not raise the request to withdraw from the competition, and the film festival organizing committee naturally turned a blind eye. Not only that, they also deliberately increased the number of screenings of the film.
As for the Palme d'Or.
According to a certain law of film festivals, which is generally popular, Simon, at least after leaving Cannes, is not very optimistic about it. Speaking of which, due to changes in history, if Simon had not come to this film, the possibility of the film winning an award is actually quite high. However, it is precisely because of Simon's attention that the jury may have a rebellious mentality and have to give the award. However, Why should we give you a big prize if you, Simon Westeros, are optimistic about it
Therefore, the second-place Jury Prize is the most likely.
Same as ever.
Of course, Simon is also happy to see his own mistakes in judgment.
If it really wins the Palme d'Or, even if it is still unable to be released in China, the film's attention will reach a higher level, and because of the Palme d'Or halo, it will definitely be a lasting attention.
Even if Simon is not that interested in the content of the film, it is still a film that can make people think.
However, Simon also knows that even when thinking, it is probably difficult to turn to certain aspects that he personally prefers. What's more, it may be reflection, ridicule, or even self-deprecation.
I need to examine myself three times a day.
However, some people are just too good at introspection. Even as victims, they will always think about whether they have done something wrong.
However, what Simon hopes to see more is a kind of understanding.
Basically what I told Lao Jiang at that time.
The main thing is that sometimes, people really can't be too human, nor can they treat their opponents too much. If everyone inspires some species instincts, the world will be a better place.
Violent talk
Of course it’s a violent argument!
The fact is that if you don’t even have this extreme awareness, maybe one day, someone will penetrate you all the way from north to south again.
Rivni.
This was the third day after Simon and his party arrived in Ukraine. When Delphine Arnault woke up in the morning, she still felt a little crazy. She followed a guy to a strange country that she had never been to before. city, and, of course, everything that was supposed to happen happened.
It is currently in a villa on the bank of Basf Lake in the south of Rivni City.
The man was not here last night. According to Li Fuzhen, who came with him of course, he was fooling around. After all, we only saw him in the past two days. The women here were really more beautiful than the other. Delphine felt that if it weren't for her After hooking up with Miss Li, maybe she wouldn't even be able to get into his bed.
It's a little frustrating just thinking about it.
Li Fuzhen was in high spirits. He was fully dressed and sitting in front of the dressing table, letting his two "girlfriends" help him comb his hair.
Delphine looked over from the bed and first noticed the two girls next to Miss Li. We were together the night before yesterday. However, she still doesn't know the names of the two women. Li Fuzhen didn't introduce them. It seems that he wants them to remain nameless in front of a certain man, which is a very simple woman's mentality. However, they are also two very outstanding girls. They have acted as their translators in recent days. They are very proficient in English, French, Russian, Chinese and Italian. They are also very proficient in various languages. Moreover, they are so beautiful.
Miss Li saw Delphine waking up in the dressing mirror, said good morning, and said: "Get dressed quickly, we are leaving today."
Delphine felt that she was crazy enough, and the man left them here last night, and she already wanted to go back to France.
I can't let myself sink any longer.
So he said: "I want to go back to Paris. Li, you can come with me. There is no need to stay here. That guy" paused before finding an adjective: "So carefree."
"I won't leave," Miss Li was very determined, and added: "I still want to go to the United States with him."
Delphine could only roll her eyes.
Hopeless.
However, after thinking about what happened in the past few days, Delphine somewhat understood.
Not to mention the dazzling multiple identities of a certain guy, as a man himself, he is really full of many things that attract women. Even if Delphine planned to escape in time, she still felt that it would not be bad to get along with him occasionally if she had another chance in the future.
Thinking like this, Delphine certainly wouldn't say it out loud, but said with some sincerity, "Li, don't you need to work?"
"Yes," Miss Li nodded, and added, "However, the company employs so many people, it is impossible for the company to be unable to operate if I leave for a few days."
After saying that, he saw his assistant tied up his hair. After looking at the mirror for a moment, he felt that he looked old again, so he signaled to turn it on again, and angrily scolded the two women around him. Finally, he decided to leave it loose, got up and came to the bedside. Fina got out of bed.
There was no rush for a certain meeting, and Simon's next stop was Odessa.
After breakfast, they boarded the plane again. Li Fuzhen continued to accompany him, but Delphine did not leave after all.
Inside the front cabin of a Boeing 767.
Taking the coffee from the hand of the tall Ukrainian girl, Delphine sent her away unceremoniously and carried the tray all the way to the forward cabin study.
Simon was leaning on the leather chair behind the desk and talking on the phone, holding the annoying eldest princess in his arms, while occasionally operating the mouse.
Delphine couldn't understand the conversation in Russian, so she helped pour the coffee, then sat down on the sofa next to her, picked up a magazine and read through it. After waiting for a moment, the man hung up the phone, and then she heard Li Fuzhen ask: "What's the matter? ?”
Simon straightened up slightly while holding the girl in his arms. He quickly opened a page by tapping on the keyboard and explained: "Over in Africa, Angola, the matter is over."
Of course Li Fuzhen knew about this, after all, it was the cause of the fight at the party a few days ago. Delphine also reacted and couldn't help but stand up and come over, looking at the computer screen together: "Savimbi, um, was shot dead by his subordinates?"
"yes."
Simon quickly browsed the press release just released by the Ygrit portal.
Faced with the dual oppression of the Angolan government forces and the Weijia private army, after several failed battles, one of Savimbi's subordinates suddenly rebelled, shot his boss to death, and then surrendered to the government forces.
According to the phone call Simon just received, the Angolan government forces have completely taken over Savimbi's remaining troops, and the warlord power that has dominated Angola for decades has disappeared.
After reading the English draft together, Li Fuzhen leaned towards the man behind him again and asked: "Simon, what are you going to do next?"
Simon caressed the slender waist of the girl in his arms and said succinctly: "Invest, penetrate, and control."
Li Fuzhen hummed, feeling very domineering.
Delphine rolled her eyes.
Bah, black hands, capitalists, evil oligarchs!
