Chapter 932： Estonia

Latest website: The man standing opposite Ronan has a long body, a blond shawl, and a retro black one-shoulder dress, which not only highlights the snow-white skin, but also has both classic and modern beauty.

Carmen Case, although far away from the fashion industry, is still called the **** of card by countless people and the media.

At the same time, Ronan was the first and possibly the only ex-girlfriend to have a serious relationship since he came to this world.

The two hadn't seen each other for many years, and they were a bit strange.

Ronan smiled and said, "I was so surprised to meet you here."

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

Ronan looked at the people coming and going around, as well as the constant attention paid, and suggested: "This is not a place to talk. Let's talk to another place?"

Carmen Case smiled and said, "Okay."

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

Ordering coffee for Carmen Case, Ronan asked, "Why don't you call me."

Carmen Case smiled: "I lost your contact information."

This sentence contains too much content, perhaps deliberately.

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

Maybe Carmen Case has been waiting for a formal promise or admission, but what about him? After all, he made a specific choice similar to Leonardo.

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

Carmen Cass continued his words and said: "After I quit the fashion circle, she was disappointed and took another model."

Ronan smiled: "I have seen it, and her vision is as good as ever."

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

Ronan immediately heard the urgency of these words and waved his hand: "What I saw at a party is not what you think."

Carmen Cass couldn't help laughing: "I didn't mean anything else. We broke up peacefully back then, and I never complained about you."

This kind of remarks made people get along more harmoniously. Ronan also laughed and asked deliberately: "Really not?"

The strangeness between the two gradually disappeared, as if returning to the year, Carmen Cass said seriously: "Speaking of which, I also want to thank you for giving up that year, otherwise..."

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

Carmen Cass smiled so that his eyes narrowed into a long line: "I have seen a lot of Hollywood gossip news these years."

"Well, I admit it." Ronan was also calm: "Hollywood was too tempting to me at that time. 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: "After all, the past is over."

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

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

Ronan looked down at his business card: "The chairman of the Estonian Tourism Association, the vice chairman of the Estonian Chess Association, the vice chairman of the Estonian Film Association..."

This series of titles is even more surprising than Ronan seeing Carmen Case here.

Carmen-Cass said: "I have quit the fashion circle and started business. My hometown, my country, and many places are not satisfactory. In recent years, the speed of development has been slower and slower. I succeeded, and I hope that my homeland Helped."

Ronan doesn't know Estonia, he just knows roughly that the economic situation of these countries that changed drastically in those years is not good.

It seems that Estonia is developing well in these countries.

Ronan collected the business card and gave his personal business card to Carmen Case: "This is my contact information. I will not stay in France for long. You can contact me when I go to Los Angeles."

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

She put it away solemnly: "I saw the news this morning and knew that you were in Cannes, thinking that you should come to the premiere of "Infinite Walker", and came here to wait for you."

Ronan asked, "Is there something I want to help? I will try my best for you."

As long as it's Carmen Case's personal matter, he will help whatever he can.

Carmen Case shook his head: "Actually, I have done a good job these years. Ronan, do you remember what I said back then?"

Ronan frowned first, then remembered: "The richest man?"

"Probably I learned a lot from you in those few years." Carmen Case was somewhat proud: "I am not only the richest woman in Estonia, but also the richest."

Ronan laughed: "Congratulations."

"I have always hoped that I can do something for my motherland while making a fortune." Carmen Case is full of love for Estonia, just like she did in the past. The world's top supermodels like her can stay in Prosperous Western Europe or the United States, live the life you want. But she eventually chose to return to Estonia.

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

Models from these regions, as long as they can make a little bit of fame, they always flee.

Ronan said, "Carmen, you are the same Carmen I know. You always have a lot of shining points on your body, and you do things unexpectedly."

Carmen Cass said modestly: "Compared with the results you have made, I am far behind."

"Let's talk about it." Ronan asked directly: "What are you going to let me do for help."

Carmen Case knows Ronan to a certain extent, knowing that it can be discussed, but if he agrees or not, it depends on the specifics.

This is not her private business, and it is impossible to force others.

"I've been to Bulgaria and Romania some time ago." Carmen Case 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."

This matter was initially matched by Uvi Bauer and was responsible for the initial contact. After the two parties entered the formal negotiation, the formal negotiation team of Relativity Entertainment stepped in, and Uvi Bauer returned to Los Angeles to continue to be the director of his dreams.

Carmen Keys said: "Can Estonia join in? Compared to Bulgaria and Romania, Estonia is not inferior. You can send people to investigate and then make a decision."

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

Ronan said: "Carmen, this is not a personal matter between you and me, but a group company, a country. I can't give you any promise."

Carmen Kath answered, "I understand."

Ronan would not make a decision just because he was an old lover. After thinking for a while, he said: "I will send someone to visit Estonia later. I will talk about specific matters after the inspection."

"Yes." Carmen Case was already satisfied with the result, but she tentatively asked: "Don't you go there yourself?"

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

Carmen Keith smiled and said: "If Relativity Entertainment and Estonia reach a cooperation, I will definitely go to Los Angeles."

Ronan knows very well that Carmen Case and Estonia can be said to be the epitome of European countries' treatment of Hollywood.

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

When filming in Europe, Hollywood personnel can enjoy a somewhat vacation experience, and the greater motivation comes from financial considerations.

In particular, Central and Eastern European countries have been very attractive in recent years with the support of film and television projects and cheap labor costs.

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

If it is a mere framing, it is actually not worthwhile. Ronan has already begun to consider whether he can obtain generous tax rebates or other financial support clauses in his contact with Estonia during his conversation with Carmen Case.

Ronan did not return to the premiere of "The Infinite Walker" and invited Carmen Case to have dinner with him, and then returned to the hotel alone.

That evening, he contacted Robert Iger and asked him to send a professional team to study in Estonia.

Early the next morning, Ronan flew to the UK, handled some matters about Manchester United, and returned directly to Los Angeles.

"Infernal Walker" attracted widespread attention at the Cannes Film Festival, especially the number of times that Tom Cruise's character said F in the film, almost breaking the record.

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

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 "Infinite Walkers" who want to get Palme d'Or, the odds are so small that they are negligible, and Tom Cruise and Will Smith are basically out of the performance awards.

Most likely, "Infinite Walker" only received a few consolation prizes.

If it was known earlier that the chairman of the jury was the king of sunglasses, Ronan might have let "Infinite Walker" cancel the tour of Cannes.

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

Fortunately, the goal of Infinite Walker is the North American awards season at the end of the year, and the Cannes Film Festival is just one of many award-winning itineraries.
