The exhibition area of the animation festival is very large, and the town has set aside a special area to support the animation festival, and the location of "Tokyo Godfather" is quite good.

Tourists and film critics come and go, and Chu Shun's booth is obviously one of the largest.

"The most special thing about the animation exhibition is the work of director Chu Shun. ”

"The global box office is over $150 million. ”

"I haven't been to the cinema for a while, so I just watched it. ”

Contrary to Chu Shun's expectations, the best selling around was actually the cross that bought the box, and the merchants in Thailand and South Korea ordered a large number of goods and paid the intention money.

In addition, the French video company also has to act as an agent for the DVD of "Tokyo Godfather".

"The Annecy International Animation Festival, no wonder it is called the Oscars of the animation festival, has a high probability of commercial sales. "Chu Shun has seen a lot of movie transactions in the past few days, especially European and American films, and the turnover rate is particularly high.

The exhibition lasted for seven days, and at first Gu Bu was full of energy, and they felt that it was the first time for a company to come to the world's top animation festival.

Chu Shun thought about it, this picture was the same as his previous intermittent "complacent" period, with a lot of "I want to get up in the morning and go for a morning run, and then read fifteen books a month", insisting on three days at most.

Gu Bu and the others insisted on it for four days, because they found it really boring, and kept playing "Tokyo Godfather", or someone was interested in the surroundings and made a statement to introduce it.

Jiang Zhao worked as a real estate salesman when he graduated, and he felt that this job was a bit similar to sales, and it was not difficult to sell, so he stopped in the next three days, but he didn't look lazy, but his motivation was gone

The eighth day is the time of the exchange meeting, similar to the Oscar dinner, except that the Annecy Animation Festival is a pre-award banquet, and naturally only Chu Shun goes alone on this occasion.

Chu Shun also met an acquaintance at the exchange meeting, Ms. Lin Wenxiao, the previous character design of Shangmei, participated in the production of the image design of many works, such as "Nezha and the Sea", the first cartoon under the guidance of the first is "Snow Child", Ms. Lin is the group of people who pioneered and developed Chinese animation.

The reason why I met was because Chu Shun went to visit before and chatted about Huaxia animation.

"Xiao Chu met again. ”

Ms. Lin greeted with a smile, although she is over 80 years old, she is still in good spirits, at least she can fly to France to serve as the chairman of the jury of the Annecy Animation Festival.

Seriously, it's not a lie that Huaxia Animation has stood at the world's first-line level, otherwise Ms. Lin would not have been invited to be the chairman of the jury, do you think it really has no prestige, and the other members agreed?

To give a realistic example, invite Liu Ye, Xia Yu, Jin Shijie, Li Xuejian and others as members of the jury.

"Grandma Lin. Chu Shun greeted with a smile, it was good to meet and communicate before, so I called Grandma Lin.

Chu Shun had an idea to make a magnificent animation of ancient times like Game of Thrones, to be precise, to be precise, to shoot movies and animate.

It's not the set of the flood wilderness, but it's an ancient legend in itself, don't think that "Romance of the Gods" has finished writing the ancient mythology, there are more stories.

On the ninth day, the awards were announced, and the awards ceremony was similar to that of all countries, except for the difference between grand and sloppy.

The Cannes Film Festival is the smallest of the three major film festivals, as an event that is all French, the awards ceremony of the Annecy Animation Festival is quite bright, the Animation Palace is quite bright and magnanimous, and Chu Shun is most impressed by the "Historical Corridor".

The corridor connecting the animation palace and the back garden has photo exhibitions of award-winning works on the left and right sides, and because they are all asymmetrical quadrilaterals, the floor tiles are also irregular shapes, so it really feels like walking in a dream.

There are only three awards for animated features: the Crystal Award, the Grand Jury Prize, the Audience Choice Award, and most importantly, of course, the Crystal Award.

"Tokyo Godfather" finally won the Grand Jury Prize, and the highest award, the Crystal Award, was won by the British animated film "Fei Lian".

"Concubine Lian" is adapted from Wilde's short fairy tale "The Selfish Giant", Chu Shun understood that this was not wrong, France liked Oscar Wilde too much.

Unless Chu Shun can come up with "Spirited Away" in Hengdao Europe, it will be difficult for other animations to win.

"Can the boss show me the trophy. Gu Bu said.

Chu Shun handed the trophy to Gu Bu and the others, and they looked back and forth cautiously, looking even more excited than Chu Shun himself.

The on-site media clicked and took pictures, and if Chu Shun won the highest award in Annecy, it was actually not big news for Europe.

Although it is true that it is the first time to do animation to be recognized by professional awards, which is very successful, Chu Shun is too successful in the film field.

Compared with "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" to win the Venice Film Festival, "Cinema Paradiso" went to Cannes to win the championship, which is much weaker.

The sense of anticipation is different.

The most important thing is that the news is hot, so for a while, the European media reported that Chu Shun did not win the Crystal Award.

"At the Annecy International Animation Festival, Chu Shun missed the top award for the first time, and the jury prize is enough to prove that the work is excellent, but director Chu Shun has extremely high requirements for himself, and he seems depressed after the ceremony. —The Paris Times

also attached a photo, in the picture, Chu Shun's face was expressionless, and then the angle was well chosen, and the people in the surrounding background were smiling, so under such support, it seemed that his mood was indeed not high.

In fact, Chu Shun was tired at the time, there were only three awards for long-form animation, but there were more than a dozen awards for short film animation, as well as TV animation and student works, and at the end there were a series of special awards, and the whole process was longer than the program of the film festival.

"The Tokyo Godfather" was a dismal box office in Europe, and it won the Grand Jury Prize at the Annecy Animation Festival, which proves that director Chu Shun's talent can be more reflected in live-action films. - Rome Evening News

"From live-action movies to animated films, director Chu Shun has shown people what a true all-round genius is. - Munich Morning Post

In fact, it's all okay, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden and other countries are all with regretful emotions, and the most conspicuous thing is that the British newspaper is a little excited, because it is the director of their country who won the crystal award, so they hype it.

"Tokyo Godfather" lost to "Fei Lian", and director Chu Shun lost to director Wilson. - The Worker, UK

Director Wilson's fourth work, "Fei Lian", won the Crystal Award, the highest award at the Annecy International Animation Festival, and was attended by the famous director Chu Shun and the famous animation director Konosuke Kurabo. —The Guardian

Chu Shun saw it silently written down in a small notebook, and he still remembered that the British media also said that they would never like a British movie shot by a foreigner.

"Yes, there is the pride that the sun never sets. "Be careful, Chu Shun doesn't know what idea he is playing.

"System, do you like the four movies "The Grand Budapest Hotel", "Hachiko the Loyal Dog", "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas", and "Braveheart"?" asked Chu Shun.

System answers: [Like.] ］

Very good, no problem, Chu Shun nodded.

Compared with the United Kingdom, Asia is full of praise, and the domestic and island country media have been popular, of course, they have not made any waves in China.

"I don't have any opinion about the Liver Emperor winning the award or anything now. ”

"When will Chu Zhu take the golden bear together, there is only one strange one left. ”

"Oh, it's won again. ”

"One thing to say,The first time the Liver Emperor did animation, he was so dicked.,It's really awesome.,I remember someone said before that the Liver Emperor would fail.。 ”

"Some people, he's not human...... Don't judge by the moral bottom line of human beings!"

......

Gu Bu and others flew back to China after the animation festival, while Chu Shun stayed in France to do another thing, buying copyrights.

The appointment with Philip was the time for the Smurfs - oh no, Jeff the editor-in-chief of Le Monde who looked a lot like the Smurfs.

Sensei said that it is really easy to do things with connections, Chu Shun is now also a famous director who is famous all over the world, and it is not difficult to contact the rich Philip, but the trouble is ironclad, and you only need to say it when you know Jeff, and the time and place of appointment are properly arranged.

Le Monde is a well-known newspaper in the European market, and its audience is art practitioners, government officials, and social elites, and it is normal for Jeff to be able to arrange it in a short time.

And not only was it arranged, but when he learned that he was going to shoot a French-themed movie, he also took the initiative to accompany Chu Shun to see Philip, and he could act as a translator.

Jeff doesn't speak Chinese, but can translate French into English.

Philippe stayed in Paris for a long time, because the family business needed to be dealt with, although the high paraplegia only the brain can understand, but still the actual controller of the large company, only two years ago to retire and hand over to his nephew to take care of.

Since Philippe was so inconvenient, he met at his villa in the 5th arrondissement, which is nicknamed the Pantheon because most of the churches are located in this arrondissement.

"Welcome Mr. Jeff and Mr. Chu Shun, I can't get up, so I can only 'look up'. ”

Philip greeted the guests at the door, compared to the movie, in reality, Philip looked less gentlemanly, much more festive, and was a strong man, with a bare head and basically no hair.

Jeff said: "Mr. Philip, this is Director Chu Shun, you also recognize it, you don't need me to introduce it." ”

"Mr. Philip. Chu Shun greeted, then looked at the white nurse standing behind him, and said, "The one behind is Mr. Aberdale." ”

Perhaps because they had been together for a long time, Aberdale and Philip laughed similarly.

"Sir. Aberdell greeted, his voice lower.

"Let's go into the house and talk, I asked the chef to prepare refreshments, I don't know if it is to the taste of Mr. Chu Shun and Mr. Jeff. Philip said.

It is clear that the villa has been specially renovated and the road through the front garden is very flat and wheelchair accessible to push through.

The living room of the villa is elegantly decorated, and there is a picture of "The Cottage of Ngawang Bridge", and I don't know if it is a genuine work by Gauguin.

"Cinema Paradiso is the best movie I've seen since 2000. "Especially at the end, I also found the movies 'Hard Rice,' 'Girlfriend's Friday,' 'Outlaw', 'Carmela', 'Angel on the Road'......"

Philip actually said all the movies at the end in one breath, this- it's so idle, Chu Shun sighed in his heart.

There are all kinds of dim sum on the table, Chu Shun wants to come to black tea, French dim sum is actually very greasy, and drinking tea is largely to relieve greasy.

For example, macarons are usually eaten together for an afternoon, and Chu Shun is used to eating seven or eight at a time, so it's strange that he doesn't get tired.

"Is it appetizing?" asked Philip, who usually does not eat in front of guests, and who needs to be fed because he cannot move his hands.

"After watching 'Second Breath', I wanted to make it into a movie. Chu Shun got straight to the point and didn't say too much to greet.

"If Mr. Philip is interested, I have already written the script here, so I can read it first. Chu Shun took out a stack of scripts from his bag and placed them in front of Philip.

In fact, Chu Shun felt that Philip should have a great desire to talk, because he not only published "The Second Breath", but also the sequel "The Talisman Devil".

Because the word count is not enough, the talisman devil will generally increase to the first book.

So more strictly speaking, the movie "Untouchable" is adapted from "The Talisman Devil".

"It's also an honor to be able to see the script of a great director. Philip's words meant that he was interested, and Aberdell in the back tacitly adjusted the wheelchair, and the head cushion behind him was moved forward, so that Philip was not so tired from reading.

Of course, ordinary wheelchairs do not have this function, this is a customized model, Aberdell helps Philip turn the book, almost without reminding, Philip will turn to the next page after reading one page.

Chu Shun noticed a detail, Aberdell flipped but he didn't look at it himself, probably because he developed a liking when flipping the contract.

Of course, he wrote the script in Chinese, and before he came, he had it translated into French.

Jeff sat next to him and didn't speak, because he found himself an ornament, Philip started to communicate in English, and he really wanted to read the script, but it was not easy to speak from his standpoint.

About forty minutes later, Philip finished reading it and said, "I was moved by my own story, and I have a question. ”

Chu Shun said, "Mr. Philip, excuse me." ”

"Why write Aberdale as a black immigrant. Philip asked.

Hearing the black immigration, Jeff next to him looked moved, is he coming?

"Because when I came to receive the César Award before, I saw something and wanted to show it in the movie. Chu Shun said: "So about this change, Mr. Aberdale, I'm sorry. ”

For no reason, the family has changed, and it is time to apologize, Aberdale shook his head and said that it was nothing, and he was looking forward to being able to shoot it.

The parties didn't care, Philip had no reason to refuse, he also read the script, and the world's great directors were all satisfied, Chu Shun and Philip didn't discuss it for long, and they set a price that both parties were quite satisfied with.

The reason why Chu Shun was satisfied was that Philip, as a successful businessman, definitely needed to pursue profits, and he didn't propose to invest anything.

As for spending money to buy copyrights, Chu Shun feels that the movie "Untouchable" is even more touching with a real prototype, because after watching it, I also hope that there is really such a thing.

Philip Liuchushun and Jeff have dinner, rich people are luxury, and the private chef specially invited is an apprentice of a Michelin-starred chef.

"The capitalist class is corrupt. Chu Shun said silently in his heart, thinking about whether he should invite one too.
