Qi Yukun was interviewed by the media on stage, and Shen Mengxi and Liu Yifei bid farewell to the guests.

Kate Beckinsale smiled and said goodbye to the two...

Shen Mengxi looked at her face and couldn't help but whisper to Liu Yifei: "Tsk, Kate Beckinsale is really old!"

“... She's 37 years old!"

"37 years old... What an awkward laugh!"

"European and American actresses have the habit of injecting botulinum toxin, and they will be injected with botulinum toxin two weeks before each important event..."

"Can't you naturally face getting old?"

“... Who knows!"

The young lady spreads her hands...

She's only 23 years old, and that's too far away for her...

A domestic reporter found Shen Mengxi and asked him what he thought.

"I must like it, otherwise I wouldn't have invested in production!"

"Why do you look at this film differently?"

"I talked to Qi Yukun, he attaches great importance to the audience, not the kind of director who I just like to watch or not. He took the project and said to me for the first time: I think a good suspense film must bring in the positive and negative characters and the audience, and the audience needs to participate, which is very important! I feel that this is the director I need!"

"Most actors get paid very little, in fact, actors who love movies are happy to give up their salary for a good work..."

"I think it's going to be released in August. ”

......

In fact, the biggest influence of the 63rd Cannes is not Fan Xiaopang's dragon robe, nor "Carol", nor Shen Mengxi...

It's a political event.

A month before the opening of the Cannes Film Festival, Iranian director Jafar Panahi was suddenly added to the jury of the main competition.

The director, who was secretly arrested by Iranian government agents in early March, sent a letter to the festival's organizers on the eve of the opening to say yes to the invitation.

Then, the president of the festival, Jill Jacob, testified to Jafar Panahi's artistic prowess about the international awards he had won, which, by the way, was also a humanitarian expression of solidarity with the artist's freedom.

So, if you win the prize, you can do whatever you want?

And that's not even counting, Polanski's joint petition letter ...

Shortly after the opening of the festival, the famous French directors Jean Luc Godard and Mathieu Amalek, as well as Xavier Bivos, Oliver Assayas and others signed a statement saying that the US authorities' request for the extradition of director Polanski was a "real lie" and that their intention was to bring Polanski into disrepute, and they also signed a "petition" asking the Swiss authorities to refuse the US extradition of Polanski.

Director Woody Allen, who brought "Encounter with a Stranger" to Cannes, said that Polanski has been punished as he deserves, and that the U.S. prosecutor's office should not continue to dwell on this old story.

What is the old past?

In 1977, Polanski promised to make 13-year-old actress Samanta Gemmer popular, tricked her into taking fruit photos for several months, fed her a large amount of sedatives, and then molested her and raped her.

The U.S. police pursued the case for 30 years.

Woody Allen is definitely rooting for Polanski...

He's not a good bird himself!

In addition to his official wife and girlfriend, there are countless one-night stands, publicly accused by his ex-girlfriend Mia Farrow and his daughter Dylan Farrow, when Dylan Farrow was 7 years old, Woody Allen molested him, an out-and-out "pedophile"...

He said publicly: I am very open about sex. If people found out tomorrow that I was living in the love nest with 15 or 12-year-old girls, they would say, well, I knew he was like that.

Why are you embarrassed to say such a thing?

Art, art, how many sins in the name of you!

To be honest, compared with the above masters, the old past and romantic affairs of the two great directors in the Chinese film industry are nothing more than abandoning their wives and marrying a new love, which is really trivial.

At most, it is a loss of personal morality...

I'm talking about the big director, the pants are not a big director!

These two things can be regarded as appetizers, "Outlaw" unveils the scars of France, and the people march in protest!

That's a big deal!

Thousands of people marched in protest, and the Cannes government dispatched a large number of riot police to block the main road in front of the Palais du Cinémath.

The reason why "Outlaw" provoked a fierce reaction from the government and the people was that it touched a still unspeakable past between the French and Algeria.

The main protest of the public is that director Lacid Pochala has taken the investment of the French Film Fund, but it distorts history and misleads the younger generation.

Therefore, the relationship between film and politics has never been pure...

Of course, these have little to do with Shen Mengxi, so he eats melons honestly.

What kind of freedom, democracy, has nothing to do with him?

Is the history of France and Algeria something he should be concerned about?

......

Hotel, open-air terrace.

Shen Mengxi's whole body was nested in the recliner, holding "The Hollywood Reporter" in his hand, and he was reading the evaluation of "Heart Labyrinth":

The evaluation is quite pertinent:

"The old-fashioned multi-line narrative tells a slightly absurd story, not black or white, with a very simple ending;"

"Human nature and human life, the contradictory but inevitable connection between various crimes, saving people and crimes, redemption and punishment, etc., are not expressed, there is a structure but no backbone, and the whole movie cannot stand. ”

The overall score of "Heart Labyrinth" is 2.9 points, which is a good score!

In the past few days, many filmmakers have come to inquire about the price...

Shen Mengxi has also sold the copyrights of several countries, and he wants to keep it after winning the award!

Liu Yifei walked over while wearing lipstick: "... Why didn't you get out?"

"What am I going out for?"

"It's the same, it's so messy outside!"

“... Where are you going?"

"Woody Allen's 'Encounter with Strangers' premiered, and they invited me..."

"The old pervert's movie... Don't go, there's a drinking party later, come with me!"

The young lady thought about it for a moment, and then nodded: "Whose cocktail party?"

""Rizhao Chongqing", Han Xiaoxi of Tianbao Huaying specially organized a cocktail party, it should be to sell films!"

The young lady nodded, and then asked him in a low voice: "I heard that "Rizhao Chongqing" is not selling well?"

"Well, it sold very badly, Han Xiaoxi couldn't do it anymore, last year's "My Tang Dynasty Brothers" lost more than 10 million, and "Rizhao Chongqing" I heard that it cost 35 million, and now it has only recovered less than 5 million copyright income..."

"Doesn't it mean that Wang Xiaoshuai's movies are very popular in Europe?"

“... That was ten years ago, and in recent years, there have been many similar themes in films from Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Israel, and these directors always insist on a certain way of shooting, and the audience has long been tired of it, and they are even willing to watch works from small countries because of the freshness. ”

The young lady was thoughtful.

What Shen Mengxi said is true!

In recent years, it has been difficult for domestic literary films to sell overseas copyrights.

The reason is simple: the film industry is developing in various countries.

Overseas promotion of non-Hollywood and non-English films is difficult to do...

"Painted Skin 2" is mainly because the first part sold well, so the second part followed suit.

......

The cocktail party was held on the beach of Cannes, and the cost was not large, not as big as Shen Mengxi's generosity back then...

Shen Mengxi briefly exchanged a few words with Wang Xiaoshuai, and then went to eat.

Oysters, very fresh, are freshly tapped, after eating one, the waiter knocks one...

Probably because Shen Mengxi's efficiency was too fast, far exceeding the speed of the waiter, he said, "Sir, can you eat a little slower?"

“... Well..."

Shen Mengxi was also a little embarrassed, and after eating one, he simply wandered around with a wine glass.

"What is Boss Shen looking at?"

“... Nothing..."

It's Fan Xiaopang, wearing a long white dress...

To be honest, she is not very suitable for passing light colors, because there is too much meat, especially the buttocks, bulging, and a good slim long skirt is worn out of the plump feeling!

Shen Mengxi politely raised his glass: "Congratulations, the photo of you wearing a dragon robe has attracted national attention!"

Fan Xiaopang smiled bitterly: "I'd rather rely on my works to attract attention!"

Shen Mengxi was embarrassed...

She added: ""Rizhao Chongqing" has a very poor reputation..."

"Well, it's a not-so-successful attempt by director Wang Xiaoshuai..."
