Chapter 1072 "The Dragon," is coming to Cannes!

Overall, the gathering was quite interesting, and Xiao He was still somewhat reluctant to leave when it ended.

Although he sat in Movens's small group, he was actually secretly observing the situation of the other people at the party, and soon he got some gossip about the ambiguous relationships between celebrities from various countries.

It's one thing for some young people to exchange ambiguous glances, but how come married women and married men are getting so intimate?

Don't think I didn't see your feet rubbing against each other under the table!

What happened to the organizers' supposedly strict rules?!

This is not your home, please don't do this!

Fortunately, just as things were about to escalate, the two men stood up and left one after the other.

However, the knowing looks on the other people's faces after they left were quite interesting.

It's as if this kind of thing is common even among married people, and everyone has already accepted this rule.

Fortunately, since Xiao He sat next to Liya throughout the party, many people assumed that they had already made arrangements and did not dare to directly steal someone from Liya. Therefore, most people were sensible and did not come up to him to chat.

So Xiao He was happy to have some peace and quiet, and frantically ate melons in the corner—that's how you use your photographic memory!

Not for any other reason than so that when I go back and chat with others, I can recount these gossips word for word.

However, before everyone left, Liya asked Xiao He rather tactfully if he would like to take her for a drive.

"Actually, the motorcycle filming back then was still very impressive."

Liya looked at Xiao He, tilted her head slightly, and said tentatively.

Foreigners can be quite direct in their expressions, but that doesn't mean they can't speak tactfully.

For example, right now, Liya does have a good impression of Xiao He, but she doesn't want to lose even the friendship with him, so she carefully restrains her words.

And the result was exactly as she expected.

Xiao He understood her implied meaning, but he just smiled and shook his head: "The film 'Mang' will be screened in the next few days, so I might not be able to drive."

They're all just excuses.

Liya wasn't angry and, as usual, hugged and said goodbye to Xiao He and Mo Wens.

"Then I wish you a successful screening. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely visit China someday."

Liya said with a smile.

Xiao He nodded and didn't say anything more.

The following day, "The Dragon" was officially screened at the Cannes Film Festival.

This was also the first official appearance of "Long", which could be considered a premiere ceremony. Many reporters, media, and distributors were present.

The trailer for "Long" garnered significant attention upon its release, generating considerable buzz both domestically and internationally. The long-absent Eastern metaphysics also sparked great anticipation.

Many overseas journalists came specifically for ?? (Original source) Xiao He and this subject matter; they all wanted to witness how a Chinese actor would bring their Eastern stories to the global stage.

The only regrettable thing is that "Long" was really too low-key beforehand. When its trailer and premiere news were released together, many people in China hadn't even realized it yet.

As a result, apart from the domestic media representatives invited in advance by the "Long" production team, almost everyone else waiting there was a foreigner.

This has also caused many people in China to feel regretful.

Many film and television review enthusiasts, in particular, couldn't help but complain after hearing the news: "Why did it take so long to announce this! If you had told us earlier, we would have found a way to watch it sooner!"

We are all fans of Brother Xiao!

However, as everyone knows, there's really no way around it. Let alone being released in China, even the trailer for "Long" is in a precarious position on major domestic platforms.

Leaving aside the trailers from Europe and America, they're so heavily censored that they practically can't be uploaded without heavy censorship.

Only trailers from other regions, taking into account local ratings and release rules, have toned down the level of horror and gore in "Long," with some content that was not convenient to show being temporarily cut, which also makes it easier for domestic netizens to share.

Therefore, the version of "尨" that can be seen on the Chinese internet now is the clean and censored version.

But as the saying goes, the more unattainable something is, the more it stirs up our desires.

The fact that they weren't among the first group of people to see Xiao Ge's movies has made netizens even more curious about the plot of "Long".

Unfortunately, after "The Dragon" finishes its Cannes run, it can only be seen in Hong Kong.

This has reignited the long-dormant fan base, sparking a renewed wave of group trips to Hong Kong.

【Qingtian Yunhe: Randomly selecting fans to form a group, covering airfare and accommodation, limited to ten group members only.】

【Hehe: Yay! Thank you, sponsor!】

【Group admin: I'm definitely going to win this time!】

Even Tiger, who has always benefited from Xiao Ge's popularity, posted his regret on his platform.

【Tiger: This is Xiao Ge's first supernatural/mystical film, and I couldn't even make it to the screening! I'm begging other viewers to give me feedback privately after the movie.】

【Tiger: I'm already rushing to catch my flight to Hong Kong. This time, I'm determined to take back everything that's rightfully mine!】

Inside the main theater, the crew of "The Dragon" were unaware that, because of them, a large number of fans were starting to consider a trip to Hong Kong.

The lights in the theater were turned off after everyone had entered and taken their seats.

Xiao He, Zhuang Hongyi, and the others naturally sat in the front row.

Even sitting nearby were the owners of the major issuers and other investors involved in this project.

Some of them had worked with them before, while others came because of Xiao He's current fame. What concerned Xiao He the most was that Manager El was not present at the scene.

As the representative of the shield, his absence would mean—

Taking advantage of the fact that the lights in the hall had been turned off, Xiao He quietly turned his head to look in other directions behind him in the darkness, and finally his gaze locked onto a corner in the last row.

The premiere of "Long" is quite well-known in Cannes. The screening hall was almost packed, with a group of media members sitting in the front row with their own small stools, which shows how popular "Long" was.

And now, there's actually one spot that isn't full.

At this moment, there was only one person quietly leaning back in the chair, the surrounding area seemingly a vacuum, completely empty, which was particularly conspicuous even in the already darkened hall.

Through the crowd, Xiao He saw those eyes.

This time, Xiao He finally saw what young Master Wilnien looked like without sunglasses.

Perhaps due to the good looks of his family and the addition of foreign-looking features, Willyon is actually quite handsome, almost comparable to a celebrity. This is one of the reasons why the Mercallier family pushed him to the forefront as their recognized heir.

Just for his handsome face, voters will be more patient with him in the future.

It's just a pity that such a handsome face has an ugly and vicious soul.

Tsk tsk.

Xiao He turned his head back.

And at this moment, the movie "The Dragon" officially begins.
