At the beginning of the film, it is the scene of Hongcun in Anhui Province.

followed to the dart game, and a dragon set shouted: "Li Ye is here!"

The picture turns again, Zhou Runfa, wearing a simple robe, is leading a horse and walking on a small stone embankment in the south of the Yangtze River, with farmers carrying hoes and cattle behind him......

That's where the director's skill lies.

Some costume dramas are the same as baba, the stars are all cold white skin, the dust is not clean, and the water is not wet, it is an ancient shell.

But some costume films can put people into it at once. Like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Nie Yinniang", "Nie Yinniang" has a long shot in which the heroine follows a path into a village.

It was like that in ancient times.

Then Gong Li appeared.

Michelle Yeoh is 165, she is 169, her style has completely changed, she looks more slender and neat, and her accent is not so stiff.

In a few words, the background was introduced, Yu Xiulian entered Beijing, handed over the Qingying Sword to Bei Leye, and met Yu Jiaolong again. At night, Yujiao Dragon stole the sword and started the first fight.

"Knock knock, knock......"

In the rhythmic soundtrack, in the capital at night, Yu Xiulian and Yu Jiaolong staged a chase scene.

Li Yu was a little sweaty, looking back from time to time, not sure if the audience liked it or not. And the audience was quiet and terrible, there was no commotion at all, and it was impossible to see clearly in the dark.

However, the reporters in the front row were attentive, for fear of missing a second.

“......”

Xu Fei is also very serious, because it is different from the original.

Yuan Baye is worthy of being Yuan Baye, and according to Gong Li's body characteristics, he designed a more rigid style of play, which contrasts sharply with Zhang Ziyi's lightness and femininity.

"You have the potential to be a star. ”

"Half a year, I've been practicing for half a year!"

Gong Li roared in a low voice, "I don't want to shoot this kind of scene anymore, the old arms and legs can't stand it......"

She paused, also worried: "Hey, do you think the audience will like it? Why didn't there be any reaction?"

"I'm stunned. ”

"I'm serious!"

"I'm serious, too. ”

"You ...... man"

As he spoke, the fight was over. I heard a sudden "bang" in the dark, as if a person stood up suddenly, and then ran out with a bang.

It was quiet in the film, and then I heard a shout outside: "The movie in hall 9 is amazing!!"

"Hahaha!"

I couldn't help but laugh at this time.

Gong Li didn't hear clearly, and asked, "What is he shouting?"

"The movie in Hall 9 is amazing!" Xu Fei translated.

Poof!

Gong Li is also happy.

Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and he had a bottom in his heart.

In 1990, Xu Guanjie's version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" went abroad to be screened, and Wu Ma and Lin Zhengying played the piano and sang on the boat, which made foreigners stunned.

They may be for this form and this technique, but they never understand the meaning of "smiling proudly".

And the biggest success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", as Li Yu said, is to make a martial arts film that Westerners can understand.

There is an active guy in front of him, and the atmosphere is extremely warm next, and every scene will usher in a burst of cheers, and the drama is also focused.

At the end of the day, the hall lights up.

"Whoa!"

"Whoa!"

The tide of applause hit, the audience stood up, Li Yu and his party came to the stage, and the host couldn't stop saying it several times.

"Whoa!"

"Whoa!"

Zhang Ziyi had goosebumps crawling all over her body, and she felt a more eager atmosphere than in Berlin. Gong Li was also a little surprised that the audience liked it so much.

“......”

Yasuda and Seo Young-so clapped their hands, envious and jealous.

This piece is invested by Sunshine's main force, and the chips are one point heavier. They could imagine that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" would be successful, but no one could have predicted how successful it would be.

............

That night, the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" party.

Almost all the studios in Cannes flocked over, Xu Fei, Lao Song, Allen, Bernard and Buck, dealing with these people all night.

At the end of the meeting.

"Asian studios are not as eager as European and American studios, so how about releasing in Asia first if the strategy needs to be adjusted a little?"

"Where?"

"The mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan that were previously determined are now Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and South Korea. ”

"Reunification will be released in July?"

"Yes. ”

"The Toronto Film Festival in September, although not as well-known as the Big Three, is specifically aimed at the North American market, and we will go there next. ”

"You are experts in this area, and we trust both of you. ”

"Hahaha, it's the movie itself that gives us confidence!"

Bernard was in a very happy mood and said with a smile: "Just now the boss of Sony Pictures called me and said that the head of another studio called him and said that we should take this movie back from Cannes, with English subtitles, and immediately release it on a large scale in 2,500 theaters across the United States!"

"Of course, we still went as planned, and we waited until the heat was enough before we made our debut in North America. Oh yes, we're going to have to punch the Oscars!" Buck said.

"Oscar?"

Zhang Ziyi didn't speak English well, so she only understood the word, and said strangely: "The Oscars of the United States, can we really go?"

"Of course, why else would I invite them to come?"

After Mr. Xu finished talking about things, he walked around with a wine glass, and occasionally saw Zhang Manyu sitting alone in a trance.

"Why?"

"Nothing, think about something. ”

She is not in a good state, and she will be haggard compared to "The Wind".

"I guess, you're thinking about retiring at 40. ”

"How do you know?"

Zhang Manyu's eyes widened, and she always felt that the other party was very godly, like Wong Tai Sin in Hong Kong, the White Dragon King in Thailand, and the King Kong gourd baby in the Seven Colors Peak, the kind that changed his life against the sky.

"Intuition, my instinct is accurate. ”

Xu Fei touched a glass with her and said with a smile: "I don't advise you, but I just regret that such an actress is missing." ”

"A new generation replaces the old, and there are new people on top. ”

"Don't make a fuss, your trophies can be wholesaled, who do you want to top?

Although I don't advise you, but before you retire, you should make a few more films for me, the mainland is called to exert residual heat, which is especially suitable for an old fairy like you who is idle and wild. ”

"Are you serious?"

Zhang Manyu was speechless, and the goods replied: "I'll tell you the truth." ”

............

After the premiere of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", it was warmly praised by Western media, and the response from Chinese reporters was mediocre.

Xu Fei didn't deliberately let people publicize, and the manuscripts sent by Sohu were all decent. Because in China, this is really not a popular movie.

If there is too much publicity, it will be released when the time comes.

That's it? That's it?

I have to wait until I finish winning the Oscars before I can have a wave of hype.

On the 22nd, Cannes closed.

The Palme d'Or was won by "Dancer in the Dark", and "The Devil is Coming" won the Grand Jury Prize.

Tony Leung won the best actor with "In the Mood for Love" and became the second person after Ge You.

Venice has the summer rain of "Sunny Day", and Berlin is the green boy of "Blind Well", ......ahh Berlin hasn't gotten it yet.

"Yiyi" won the Best Director Award.

None of the three Chinese films failed, and it was also extremely rare in terms of quality. Lao Jiang was very unhappy when he received the award, he felt that he should win the Palme d'Or.

And with the end of the film festival, he was also mentally prepared to go back to meet the severe punishment.
