"Brother, the Cannes Film Festival, haha...... How nice, that, if you go, please take me with you, okay? ”

"Don't come, you guy, tell me about it, who the hell told you that?"

"Brother Kuan, of course. ”

"Fujimoto Kan?"

"yes, he once talked to us about it. ”

"I don't know, can he know?"

"No, my brother doesn't know, no?"

"You guy!"

......

"Oh, young master, come to me today for this ......"

"What did you say before? What Cannes?"

"Well, wait a minute...... Don't you know, young master? ”

"Ah Kuan, don't learn from Sakai Masato, you guy!"

"No, I really don't, by the way, let's talk about Cannes, this matter, but...... When I think about it, by the way, Mr. Muranishi, it should be what he said. ”

"Sure enough, it's him!"

......

In order to figure out the Cannes Film Festival, Yuki Kusano seems to have experienced a wonderful adventure, of course, he doesn't have as many muscles as Jojo, and he doesn't have any stand-ins, but it's still amazing.

First found Sakai Masato, to Kusano's surprise, this guy also heard from Fujimoto Kan, and then, found Fujimoto Kan, and finally verified his conjecture, and sure enough, it was Mr. Muranishi.

So, go find him!

Outcome...

"You're here, the ...... Wait a minute, I'll make you tea. ”

The reception of Kusano Yuki and Sakai Masato and Fujimoto Kuan was actually Kurokika.

Moreover, it was a dark wood fragrance wearing pajamas, with a little tiredness and satisfaction on her face, and it was completely possible to imagine what happened to her last night.

Yuki Kusano didn't say anything, and the other two had a little red on their faces, which was really ......

Ahem.

Cough twice to remind them that the woman in front of them is not ordinary.

The three of them sat down at this time, but they didn't know how to say it, but fortunately, the west of the village came out very quickly.

"Great! Luck, you're finally here, and Dad still wants to find you!"

Mr. Muranishi looks like he has made a great contribution, and he is basically a real hammer.

Yuki Kusano frowned, "You really made the Cannes thing?"

"Well, well, there's nothing wrong with that. When Mr. Muranishi said this, he gave Kuroki Xiang a flying kiss in the kitchen.

Kusano Yuki couldn't help but give a big roll of his eyes, "What the hell is going on, you can tell me a good story!"

Only then did Mr. Muranishi feel that something was wrong, could it be that he did something bad with his own good intentions?

However, this thing is actually quite simple.

Basically, it's just as Yuki Kusano predicted.

Mr. Muranishi took the overseas videotape distribution rights of the American version of "Midnight Bell", and of course the Japanese version, plus several other films, which made him a favorite in the world.

You know, the performance of Yuki Kusano's movies in South Korea is simply impossible to say, "Love Letter" and "Midnight Bell", which are quite successful, and "The Eraser in My Mind" was released as soon as it was released.

It's directly phenomenal!

The fire is very hot, the number of moviegoers is millions, this is not news, recently Zhongshan Shinobu has been constantly invited to South Korea, and many advertisers in South Korea have asked her to shoot advertisements.

As for the actor of this movie, Masato Sakai, he has also been to South Korea before, but unfortunately, the advertising is much worse.

This made Sakai Masato a little uncomfortable, although he was sure that Nakayama Shinobu was a bit from the beginning, but his performance was not bad, was he?

What an affectionate and good man he portrayed Tetsuya.

It's a pity that it's still beautiful women who are more impressive in romance movies.

Maybe it's because of this that he generously made a month of substitution.

And these are the basics.

Boss Kim knows a lot of people, and South Korea has recently been formulating a plan, that is, to promote the development of South Korea's cultural industry to the world.

Any TV series and movie has to go abroad.

In fact, Korean cinema is really average now, and the country had a very late start in this area, and in the mid-80s, there was only one film that became slightly famous internationally, and it was about a woman who had lost her footing.

Therefore, this boss Jin has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he naturally came into contact with many people who have a relationship with international film festivals.

International A-level film festivals like Cannes, they actually need films, but the current requirements are quite high, that is, at the Cannes Film Festival, the film must be a new film.

That's right, as long as it's been released before, then, they don't want it!

Because of this request, I was scolded last year.

In 1994, too many good films were really born, but only because of this regulation, movies like "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Forrest Gump" that were in the limelight had nothing to do with Cannes.

Of course, there are a lot of good films, but at the moment, the momentum of the Oscars is too strong, and without these two films, Cannes is really criticized a lot.

This rule has actually been changed by some other film festivals later, that is, not only new films can also be on the international A level, for example, the Tokyo Film Festival in Japan, and the Eurasian Film Festival in Kazakhstan, etc.

However, the three major European film festivals are still very strict about this principle, especially in recent years.

Of course, Yuki Kusano is very clear about this, that is to say, the three major international film festivals in Europe are still very arrogant.

So, how did it get involved with yourself?

Mr. Muranishi is very clear.

"There's a new film, right?"

"That's right. ”

"Yuki is now a well-known overseer in Japan, right?"

"This ......"

"Brother, don't be modest!"

"Exactly, the young master is currently the most famous young overseer in all of Japan, no one can compare!"

When Mr. Muranishi heard this, how could he not laugh?

Anyway, I've already talked to the Asian filmmakers in Cannes, and of course, what they said is simple, that is, they are interested in you, and nothing else is sure, but, in my opinion, it is no problem!"

No problem?

Actually, Yuki Kusano also understood, as if he did have a good chance of going to Cannes.

However, about winning awards at international film festivals, Yuki Kusano also knows in his heart that there are many ways to do this.

Specifically, it is also necessary to look at the relationship and talk about human feelings, especially Asian films should go to Europe and the United States.

If no one introduces you, who knows who you are?

Although it is known as an international film festival, there are not many film selectors, especially in Asia, the work of film selectors is only a side hustle, and they don't even pay at all, how many movies can they watch a year?

It's more about starting with fame and looking at relationships.

Or just say it straight and ask for money.

This is called PR expenses.

Regarding giving money, it is also quite complicated, for example, if it is like the old man in "The White Tower", this will definitely not work, and it will be directly stuffed with millions, which is easy to have accidents.

In addition, you have to be able to build momentum.

Let's put it this way, a film that can win this kind of international award must have a team that can operate.

Yuki Kusano remembers very well that the "Parasite" that later came into the limelight, ordinary people don't know how much money this movie spent on public relations in the United States, not to mention the invisible ones, which can be seen, that is, the public operation actions.

First of all, I signed a contract with a company that specializes in the Oscar awards, and that company has successfully operated "Green Book" before, which is invested by Chinese capital.

Soon, "Parasite" became very exposed in the United States, with topics in various media and on Twitter, and Bong Joon-ho frequently appeared on talk shows before winning the award.

Of course, the film does deserve an Oscar in itself, but it won 4 at once, and that's the credit of PR.

To put it mildly, if a director wants to win awards at film festivals and Oscars like this, he must first be able to run himself.

The simplest and the least expensive are some of our Chinese directors in recent years.

When making a movie, you will find a poor place to shoot, and in the countryside, the countryside, or a big city, you will find a corner, and when you go abroad, you will look like you are bitter and hateful, and you will be severely suppressed by a certain department.

What is this?

You Americans are too powerful!

You France are amazing!

You Germany is so good!

Is there any difference?

This part of the director really mastered the wealth code in advance.

Yuki Kusano is not speculating on these things, because those directors almost exclusively pick the regulations of certain departments to select materials, or they want to arch the fire and cause a kind of persecution.

The reason why I say this is because there are counterexamples.

For example, Mr. Cao Baoping, Yuki Kusano also took his class. The film made by this teacher was also banned, he was really unlucky, it was not a sensitive subject when he was filmed, and he found that it was not good after filming.

But what did he say? Talked to foreign journalists?

If it weren't for his continuous good films, it is estimated that no one would know his story at all.

It must be said that there are indeed some regulations that affect artistic creation very much, but there are some things related to conscience, which may be able to be met for a while, but not for a lifetime.

It's like the well-known Vs who originally danced very the Internet, as if they were asking for their lives for the people, weren't they slapped in the face by a collective in 2020?

These are just flashes in Kusano's mind, and they have nothing to do with him now.

So...

"Mr. Muranishi. Yuki Kusano still called it, "I do have a new film, but this movie is very, very simple. I didn't make this film to win an international award, which means it probably came home empty-handed. ”

Mr. Muranishi laughed after hearing this, "If you don't win the award, you won't take it, what's the big deal." ”

Is it so open-minded?

Both Sakai Masato and Fujimoto Kan couldn't help but want to be 'amazing', but they listened to Mr. Muranishi continue.

"As long as you can go to the world, then the Kusano Superintendent will have an international reputation, and the rest is uncertain, but at least those videos will definitely have better sales. ”

It turns out that this guy had such an idea.

Sakai Masato and Fujimoto still felt that they were too young, but Yuki Kusano smiled, he knew early on that this old fox in Muranishi was anything but simple.

"Well, let's go to Cannes, but I'm still on the same principle, I'm not going to give interviews or show up in public. ”

This...

Muranishi actually wants to take this opportunity to let Yuki Kusano be exposed, because this is the Cannes Film Festival, a powerful enough film festival.

But in the face of Kusano's fierce gaze, Muranishi quickly gave a smile.

"I'll take care of that. ”

However, Masato Sakai raised questions.

"Brother, haven't you already played the leading role in this "April Story"?"

As soon as these words came out, the other two, even Heimuxiang, who had just brought the tea, were interested.

So, haven't you Yuki Kusano already shown her face in the movie?

But when Kusano Yuki faced everyone's eyes, he just smiled, "You will understand after the Cannes premiere." ”

This...... That's right, if the new film "April Story" can participate in the Cannes Film Festival, it will definitely have its premiere there!
