Although the main competition and awards of the Cannes Film Festival have ended, the journey of film companies from all over the world in Cannes is not over.

Investors from all over the world and filmmakers from all over the world are still shuttling through large and small drinking parties every day.

However, Ju Dou, who won an award, was very optimistic, and several interested filmmakers won the distribution rights at a price that was satisfactory to both parties.

Anyway, it's all a buyout, a one-shot sale, and there are no follow-up needs, so it's all over after signing the contract and paying for it.

The only thing that made Zhang Yimou sullen was the distribution rights in North America.

Because Harvey Weinstein, who was bound to pay a high price and promised an Oscar nomination, really missed the appointment as Qiao Feng said.

Although it was only a verbal agreement, it was also a no-show.

Not to mention the million dollars that can be described as a huge amount of money for domestic filmmakers, even the 400,000 dollars that were offered at the beginning are gone.

Because Harvey Weinstein never contacted Zhang Yimou again after that.

This performance is completely inconsistent with the previous inevitable posture.

Zhang Yimou can only know himself and does not know anyone, and he was almost deceived by the fat man in the United States.

Without Harvey Weinstein, Zhang Yimou could only reluctantly accept Qiao Feng's offer of 200,000 yuan.

The moment the agreement was reached, Qiao Feng had a feeling that he was similar to Harvey Weinstein's fat man, and he also opened a high price first, and then tore up the agreement to win the copyright after getting rid of the competitors.

But in fact, whether it is Qiao Feng or the unwilling Zhang Yimou, they have to admit that this is the normal way to buy films.

It's quite unusual to come up and offer high prices that don't match the market like Harvey Weinstein did.

And just when Qiao Feng, Gong Li and Zhang Yimou, who had completed their goal of selling films, left Cannes, a report about Harvey Weinstein's sexual assault and sexual harassment of actresses at the Cannes Film Festival also appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, New York Times and many other influential newspapers.

According to the report, Antonella Attilly, an Italian actress who won the Catholic Humanitarian Spirit Award at the Cannes Film Festival and said that she was lured to a hotel by Harvey Weinstein on the pretext of inviting her to discuss a partnership.

In addition to this, the report also mentions that the heroine of another film, The King's Prostitute, who was nominated for the main competition, was harassed and attacked by Harvey Weinstein at a public drinking party.

The report not only has a detailed text description but also pictures, including a series of photos of Antonella Attilly taking a car to the door of Harvey Weinstein's hotel, getting off the bus, entering and then coming out, looking ugly, and Valerie Golino being attacked in the chest and refusing to dodge with a face full of photos.

Although all the photos can be seen to have been taken from a candid angle, the content is clear.

There are pictures and truths, and the real hammer is absolutely forced.

The report exploded as soon as it came out.

This is a huge scandal in the film industry that makes people feel very mysterious, especially when it is reported by the top three newspapers in the United States in terms of influence and circulation.

Not only is the content strong but also the circulation is huge, so even those who are not interested will quickly know that there is such a person named Harvey Weinstein in the United States who has done such a shameless thing in faraway France.

In particular, the two actresses who were sexually assaulted, although Antonella Attilli is a small role that is not well-known, but the other actress Valerie Golino is quite well-known.

This is the queen of the Venice Film Festival, one of the three major film festivals in Europe, in 86.

Maybe in the eyes of the audience, this is not very familiar, but in the film industry, Valerie Golino, it has a huge reputation.

Such a movie-level figure was sexually harassed, and it was impossible not to cause a sensation.

Especially in the film industry, Harvey Weinstein, a name that has always been very famous in the independent film industry, took this opportunity to be considered famous at once.

However, this is the pinnacle of what this event can reach.

Because Harvey Weinstein carried out public relations as soon as possible, as Harvey Weinstein, who started with the promotion of movies, has a very strong ability to deal with crisis public relations.

In the fastest time, he used the natural advantage of his Jewish identity to contact many well-known Jewish power figures in the circle to stand up for himself.

On the other hand, through his connections, many media outlets covering his scandal have been silenced.

And with the two victims, Harvey also did enough work.

Not only did he quickly reach a compensation agreement with the two victims and signed a confidentiality treaty, but he also told Valerie Golino, one of the victims, to come forward for an interview with the New York Times, explaining that something fell on his chest at that time, and that Harvey Weinstein was helping to remove the thing out of kindness, but he misunderstood, and then he expressed his gratitude to Harvey.

At the end of the day, Valerie Golino also condemned the outrageous behavior of the photographers who deliberately induced the public and slandered Harvey Weinstein.

For such a result, Qiao Feng, who returned to Hong Kong, had already expected it.

Although he sent someone to follow and secretly film Harvey Weinstein's shameless acts, and also had people write articles and stab them in American newspapers, Qiao Feng knows very well that with the current situation in Hollywood or all the film circles and entertainment circles in the world, this kind of thing will at most make Harvey Weinstein a commotion, and he will be anxious for a while.

As for trying to trample Harvey Weinstein into the mud, you don't have to think about it.

Just like the sexual assault scandal of Harvey Weinstein in the original plane, why did the unethical behavior last for 30 years before it was made public?

A fact that has to be admitted is that this kind of thing that everyone claims to be "uninformed" and "intolerable" is originally part of Hollywood or all the entertainment and film circles in the world.

In the past, Hollywood's usual response when similar acts were exposed was silence. This kind of thing is the common rule in this kind of circle.

That's why Joe Summit anticipated that the sexual assault scandal over Harvey Weinstein in Cannes wouldn't bring Harvey Weinstein down.

Just like Lena Dunham, the director, writer and star of HBO's drama "City Girl", wrote publicly after the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal was exposed, saying that she was sexually harassed by a TV director.

But Hollywood pundits reacted by defending the male director and vehemently questioning her for being sexually harassed.

"This behavior is not based on his business ability, but on an ancient loyalty. In the article, Lena writes, "It is this kind of behavior that makes abuse of power the norm." ”

Because even without the aura of superiority, silence is a kind of inertia.

What's more, this is still the era of the big studio model, and the high-ranking and powerful people cover the sky with one hand.

This inertia of maintaining all the rules of the entire circle, including the rotten and dirty stuff, has melted into the blood of the entire entertainment industry.
