Due to the enthusiastic response to the premiere of "Falcon" last night, the members of the film delegation felt that there must be a lot of film dealers today, and a lot of business will be done. When they woke up the next morning, everyone was ready to do a great job. However, after Liu Jianfeng read several newspaper reports on "Falcon" for everyone, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on the head, extinguishing everyone's excitement.

Several newspapers have given "Falcon" a bad review, and the reasons for the bad review are mainly concentrated in two aspects, one is that the character creation is weak, except for the actor Yan Shuangying, everyone else is underportrayed, lacks personality, and makes it difficult to tell who is who; the second is that film critics think that "Falcon" sings praises for war, thinking that it will make the people feel that war is justified and killing people is justified, and even some media directly say that "Falcon" is a very disgusting movie.

The members of the delegation were stunned, when it premiered yesterday, both the media and the audience responded very well, why did the wind suddenly change today, and the media was all criticizing "Falcon"?

Hu Jian frowned and said, "How can this be, what is going on?"

Xu Wangqiu was not surprised by this: "Now that anti-war ideas are rampant in Europe, there is a very extreme view in the critics, excellent war films must be anti-war, and Vietnam was originally a French colony, and it is very normal for "Falcon" to be scolded, plus Truffaut and Chabrol were originally representatives of the New Wave, but now they are regarded as traitors by French critics, and they have received a lot of criticism, they come to our platform, and film critics are naturally more disgusted with "Falcon". ”

Zhang Yimou couldn't help but think that "The Mysterious Buddha" was almost not released because it was criticized by critics, and said worriedly: "When the film company sees a bad review from the media, will it not buy our film?"

Xu Wangqiu shook his head lightly: "These film companies all eat movies, they know what the audience likes and dislikes, and the evaluation of the media and film critics will have an impact on them, but it will not have much impact." "Falcon" may not please film critics, but the movie is hot and exciting, and it is a genre that the audience likes, so there is no need to worry about the film company. ”

Although Hu Jian has stayed overseas, he has never been to Cannes, and he has no experience in buying and selling commercial films, so he is suspicious of Xu Wangqiu's words. In order to reassure everyone, he still said to the members of the delegation: "Wangqiu's words make sense. Everyone still remembers "The Mysterious Buddha", this movie is full of bad reviews from experts, but the audience likes it very much. "Falcon" should be the same, and we will know when we get to the trading market. ”

The members of the delegation nodded slightly, but their hearts were always hanging.

At half past eight, Xu Wangqiu and the others left the apartment and walked towards the film trading market. When they were about to arrive at the Cinema Palace, they met the people of the Taiwan Film Delegation.

Qin Xianglin attended the premiere of "Falcon" yesterday, and after returning home, he did not say about the grand occasion of the premiere of "Falcon", let alone that the movie was good, but said that "Falcon" was a bad movie to promote the People's Liberation Army. After waking up in the morning, the newspapers were basically criticizing "Falcon", so the people in the Taiwan Film Delegation firmly believed that Qin Xianglin was right, and "Falcon" was a bad movie.

remembered Xu Wangqiu's arrogant claim a few days ago that the copyright of a movie "Falcon" sold more than all the films of the Taiwan delegation combined, and the people of the Taiwan delegation felt that the opportunity to slap their faces had come.

One of the thin men said in a loud voice: "A few days ago, there was an arrogant and ignorant person who actually said that the movies he made sold more rights than all our films combined. As a result, after the movie was released, the audience booed, and the media received a flood of bad reviews, which is called the fearlessness of the ignorant, right?"

"Mainlanders, they haven't seen much of the world, and when they see their films being popular in the mainland, they feel that they are amazing; what kind of place is this? This is Cannes, this is the first of the three major film festivals, and this is the temple of film art. How can a low-level film from the mainland be recognized in Cannes!"

"I heard that the director is actually not of any level, his first film evaluation is okay, but it's not how good he is, it's that the movie was made with other directors, and it's the director who is really powerful. He's just a big guy and robbed others of their credit. This film was made by himself, and the real level was exposed!"

"I'll just say that if someone doesn't have any artist cultivation at all, how can they make a good movie? So that's the case, it's just greedy for heaven, and it's shameless!"

Xu Wangqiu didn't take the words of the Taiwan delegation to heart, a group of clowns who jumped off the beam, and they couldn't get angry.

However, the faces of the rest of the delegation were very ugly, and the people of China Film Company complained in their hearts that Xu Wangqiu said big things, which caused everyone to be ridiculed by the Taiwan delegation.

Zhou Lijin saw that the Taiwan delegation said so ugly, the fire in his heart soared upward, and he said coldly: "A group of idiots who have never seen the world, even if "Falcon" is not good, at least there are film masters such as Truffaut and Polanski to cheer for it. The movies you make, Truffaut they don't look at, in their eyes are a pile of worthless garbage. ”

The delegation was speechless, and although the newspapers were critical of "Falcon", they all mentioned the sensation caused by Truffaut and Alain Delon when they reported on the premiere of "Falcon". Some media even said that the red carpet of "Falcon" is the most star-studded red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival in the past five years.

Some people in the delegation were not convinced, and retorted: "So what? At least our film has been sold." Unlike some delegations, the film was not cared for at all. When a movie is made, no one wants to buy it, and no one wants to watch it, that's worthless garbage. ”

Zhou Lijin was about to refute, when he suddenly heard Zhang Yimou shout in surprise: "Why are there so many people in the trading market today?"

Everyone looked up and found that there were many people standing at the entrance of the trading market, because the trading market opened at nine o'clock, and now there are still about ten minutes before the opening opens, and the people waiting to enter form a long queue, as many as one or two hundred people.

The two delegations came at this time recently, and there was a long queue at the entrance of the trading market, and everyone saw it for the first time, and they were all puzzled and didn't know what was going on.

At this moment, a fat man with a straight stomach in the crowd saw Xu Wangqiu, a string of green "$" flashed in his eyes, and he excitedly shouted "They are here", and after speaking, the fat man rushed towards Xu Wangqiu with his legs. As soon as the fat man shouted, the others also saw Xu Wangqiu and them, one by one, like hungry wolves who saw lambs, screaming and shouting, and rushed towards Xu Wangqiu and them.

Although the fat man in the lead is very fat, he runs and walks, and the fat on his stomach shakes and shakes, which looks quite funny, but his movements are not slow, and he is quite a bit of Sammo Hung style. A bunch of foreigners behind him, spreading their legs and running forward desperately, didn't even overtake him. I saw that the group of foreigners was excited, and they were screaming in their mouths, like wolves foraging for food, rushing towards Xu Wangqiu and them.

The people of the Taiwan delegation saw a large group of foreigners shouting something and rushing towards this side, thinking that there was some big star nearby, and these foreigners were preparing to find celebrities to sign autographs. They turned their heads to look, but the surroundings were empty, and there was no shadow of a big star. Just as they were feeling strange, they saw the group of foreigners rushing in front of the mainland delegation, surrounding the members of the mainland delegation, and shouting "Xu!" in their mouths, gesturing with their hands, as if they were afraid that Xu Wangqiu and they would not understand.

The delegation from Taiwan was dumbfounded, looking at this scene dumbfounded, thinking to themselves what was going on, didn't Qin Xianglin say that "Falcon" was a bad movie? Newspapers were also criticizing "Falcon", why were so many people surrounding them to buy a film?

The Taiwan delegation was shocked by the scene in front of them, and the mainland delegation was also exceptional, and they were also shocked by the situation in front of them, they did not expect that so many film companies would come to the door. But in addition to the shock, they were more surprised in their hearts. This time I came to Cannes to sell films, and now that so many filmmakers have come to the door, they will definitely return with a full load.

The big fat man in the crowd grabbed Xu Wangqiu's hand hard, shook it vigorously, and shouted loudly in his mouth: "Xu, we said okay! I will exchange Miramax's shares with you! You must be trustworthy! I know that you Chinese are the most trustworthy! You must give me the copyright of "Falcon"!"

Xu Wangqiu shook Harvey's fat hands hard, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone be quiet!

All the filmmakers at the scene were instantly quiet, staring at Xu Wangqiu like nails, wanting to hear what he said.

Xu Wangqiu saw that everyone was quiet, and said in a loud voice: "Because there are too many film companies and too many people who want to buy "Falcon", we will divide it into two groups to talk. If your country has a population of more than 30 million, then you come with me, and we will go to the Grand View Garden to talk. Others stay in the trading market, and when the trading market opens, everyone goes to the trading market to talk. ”

After finishing speaking, Xu Wangqiu said to Hu Jian: "Mr. Hu, let's talk in two groups, let's go to Daguanyuan to talk, and let Liu Jianfeng and them take a few people to talk in the trading market." ”

Hu Jian felt that it would save a lot of time to divide the conversation into two groups, so he said: "You bring some people to the Grand View Garden to talk, and I will talk with Liu Jianfeng and them in the trading market." ”

Xu Wangqiu shook his head and said: "Daguan Garden is a big business here, without you in charge, we have no bottom in our hearts, and I want to show the equipment in the afternoon, there is no way to talk, so you should come with us to Daguan Garden!"

Hu Jian felt that Xu Wangqiu's words made sense, so he said, "Then let's go to the Grand View Garden." ”

The delegation from Taiwan saw several filmmakers excitedly shouting, "Our country has a population of more than 30 million, I'll go with you", as if they were afraid that they would not be able to buy the copyright of "Falcon". They want to shout at the studios, "Don't you read the newspapers?" The media and critics say that "The Falcon" is a bad movie, are you blind? Why do you want to buy a bad movie? This is so sorry for the audience in your country, right?

Of course, I can only think about this in my heart, looking at the excitement of the filmmakers who are eager to grab "Falcon" immediately, if they shout it, I am afraid that these filmmakers will be regarded as a psychopath.

remembered that they had just laughed at Xu Wangqiu and said that "Falcon" was unpopular, and they felt hot on their faces, as if they had been slapped hard. Fortunately, Xu Wangqiu hasn't made trouble yet, otherwise their faces would have really been lost. They decided to leave this place of right and wrong while Xu Wangqiu was still in trouble, spread their legs one by one, and walked quickly towards the entrance of the trading market.

Xu Wangqiu was busy communicating with the filmmakers, and he didn't have time to take care of the Taiwan delegation. Zhou Lijin didn't know English, so he couldn't help much, and when he saw the people of the Taiwan delegation quietly slipping towards the entrance of the trading market, he immediately shouted: "Hey! The Taiwan delegation! Don't go! There are a lot of film dealers here, do you want me to introduce you to a few?"

The delegation of Taiwan only felt that Zhou Lijin's words were like a slap, and he suddenly slapped his face, turning his face red. However, they were powerless to refute, so they could only pretend not to hear and speed up their pace towards the entrance of the trading market.

Zhou Lijin didn't plan to let them go, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Hey, don't go! Everyone is a compatriot and a family, don't see the outside world like this! We really want to introduce you to the film company!"
