Chapter 385: Someone Treats You as a Wronged Boss!
Shen Mengxi is here to sell films, and by the way, congratulations to the young lady for winning the actress...
"Carol" is determined to win the movie, but she will take it!
has already said that Cate Blanchett's goal is the Oscars, and she doesn't care about the Cannes actress!
Of course, if Cannes is willing to issue a double-ring inductor, the crew will not have an opinion.
This year's Cannes jury is led by Tim Burton.
Hollywood eccentric director.
Shen Mengxi was worried that if he liked "Carol" very much, he would directly award a Palme d'Or, and the young lady's actress would be in vain...
......
"Painted Skin 2" brings the Cannes trading market, and it is understandable.
"Painted Skin" sold very well at the time.
"The Watchers", popcorn cop films, the market space is here.
The only thing I can't understand is that "My Girlhood" will bring Cannes to Mao?
It's simple, sell the adaptation rights!
The adaptation rights of "Those Years" have been bought from Japan, Thailand, Singapore, and Australia...
Youth films are really universal in the world!
Not only is the threshold low and the investment is small, there is no need for grand scenes and production costs, but also the shooting cycle is short, and the production difficulty is relatively small.
It's also easy to make a hit!
Even if it can't be a hit, selling it to a TV station can guarantee a return on investment.
Therefore, "My Girlhood" sold very well, and more than a dozen countries such as Italy, Spain, Germany, Finland, Argentina, and Russia bought the copyright...
The Russian version of "My Girlhood"...
Tsk, just think about it!
By the way, this trip to Cannes, Shen Mengxi and they already have a lot of experience, rented an office, and made an appointment with some film companies that had been contacted before, basically negotiated in five minutes, saving trouble and money...
I left the office on the third day.
Three films, no, four, plus "Heart Labyrinth", sold for nearly $40 million, the big head is of course "Painted Skin 2", and the overseas copyright was sold for $22 million...
This is not the final data, "Heart Labyrinth" has not been officially screened yet!
Although a unit of interest is not as good as the main competition unit, it can be regarded as an officially recognized screening channel in Cannes, second only to a competition unit of the main competition, with a separate jury!
And, to be honest, this year's kind of attention unit, basically there are no particularly excellent works, and the quality of "Heart Labyrinth" can be beaten!
Jia Zhangke brought a very mediocre "Legend of the Sea"...
The shortlisted is a kind of attention to the nano dollar...
"Legend of the Sea" is actually "Legend of Shanghai", which is really mediocre!
Shen Mengxi hates Lao Jia more and more...
The Shanghai in his lens is broken, and the people in the lens are all political!
His own explanation is: 'I'm photographing a certain side of Shanghai, in addition to Pudong and Huaihai Road, there are dense industrial areas on both sides of Suzhou Creek, and those small alleys in Nanshi, life is like this, Shanghai is like this. ’
Is that like that in Shanghai?
Record a big living person, walk over his handsome face, pat the black mud in his fingernails, ignore the fact that he has just finished his labor, make everyone think that he is red and panting every day, and cut his smooth speech, leaving only an unintentional fart...
Interesting?
If you want to say that it is not for foreigners, then what do you go to a foreign film festival to show?
Are there no film festivals in China?
The First Film Festival also filmed China's low-level voices, and it didn't say that it wouldn't be broadcast, right?
This horse is the pioneer of Wenqing...
Even Iranian films have begun to change the image of exports!
For decades, the external image has been fixed with the joint efforts of China and foreign countries, and it is easy to lose ideology and difficult to regain it!
Alas!
It's not one of those people!
......
"My character is Terese, a saleswoman at a Manhattan department store, who, at the age of twenty is looking forward to the future, when she meets Carol, an elegant married woman, and their lives change. ”
"Carol is a very three-dimensional character, and she has more life experience than another girl who is not well versed in the world, so she can predict that their relationship will not come to fruition. The film is set in the fifties of the last century, when people didn't know what homosexuality and transgender people were, and the pressure on the two heroines can be imagined. ”
After the release of "Carol", Liu Yifei was interviewed by mainland media.
"The original book is called 'The Price of Salt' and it's written from Terese's point of view, so I can feel strongly about her obsession with Carol. In fact, it is not fully expressed in the movie, and anyone who has had the experience of first love will know that feeling. You will care about every word the other person has said and capture his every movement and look. ”
"I've seen almost every film Kate has ever made, and she's one of the best actresses of our time, so I was terrified when I learned about the opportunity to work with her. But when she started working with her, everything became incredible, and for Terese, Kate was the perfect crush. ”
"Why do you take such a role? because I like the script very much... And I want to challenge myself!"
Of course, Mengxi talked to me about this, and he persuaded me to take it, and he said that it was right for actors to let go of their dull and boring lives and expand their understanding of the world. ”
"I think it's right, actors need to work hard to connect with the character, to present the character to the audience, not to their own real face. ”
“... It shouldn't be released, the subject matter of this movie is a bit sensitive. ”
The young lady is very busy, not only to give interviews, but also to attend some sponsor events...
No way, who made her the spokesperson!
Shen Mengxi was asked to meet by a director he liked very much, Luc Besson...
Luc Besson, known as the "French Spielberg", can be described as an outlier in the entire European film industry: he admires fast-paced American action movies, which are full of willfulness and subversion.
It was also through his efforts that Europa Pictures, which was once unknown, became famous in one fell swoop.
"This Killer Is Not Too Cold", even in 1994, when there were many good films, could be on the list!
Shen Mengxi went to see him with the psychology of chatting with him about movies, and then, he was almost angry!
Luc Besson actually wants to cooperate with him to develop the mainland market!
Sino-French co-production...
"Red Crisis", "Warrior's Gate", "Super Express", "Star Agent: City of a Thousand Planets", "24 Hours: Rebirth at the End", "God of War", six movies directly collapsed Jimei Pictures, which has a market value of nearly 30 billion!
No, why did he think Shen Mengxi would cooperate with him?
And also want Shen Mengxi to invest in the acquisition of Europa's shares, and take on debts by the way?
Up to 1.8 billion in debt!
There will always be people who will treat you as a wrongdoer, even if you have proven yourself to be a good one!
It's very unpleasant, "Super Body" Mengxi is going to be!
