When he arrived in Cannes, Zhang Pu was purely playing soy sauce.

Cannes Film Festival, for nearly half a month before and after, Zhang Pu didn't pay much attention to the movie, and went to Cannes with Xiao Xue and others.

Although he will be in Cannes for many years, Jiang Yun is still very familiar with Cannes and the Cannes Film Festival. What's more, Jiang Xingwen also came with him, with the two of them, Zhang Pu was naturally relieved, and there was no need to ask.

"I didn't call you to Cannes, I didn't call you to play. ”

When Jiang Yun found Zhang Pu, the guy was basking in the sun on the beach.

It's rare to be leisurely, Zhang Pu likes such days.

Soak up the sun and look at the beauties... Well, look at the sea, it's a beautiful day.

Once people relax, they tend to breed inertia.

"With you and Mr. Jiang here, what's the matter with me?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

"Why is it none of your business? "Farewell My Concubine" has entered the main competition unit. Jiang Yun said, "You forget, you are the screenwriter of this film." By the way, you're still the soundtrack for this film. ”

"Isn't it expected to enter the main competition unit?" Zhang Pu said lightly.

The original version won the Palme d'Or, Jiang Yun's version Zhang Pu doesn't think it's worse than the original, if it can't even enter the main competition unit, it will be surprising.

Of course, entering the main competition unit does not mean that you will be able to win a prize.

This still has a lot to do with competitors.

However, the odds of "Farewell My Concubine" are high.

Although Zhang Pu traveled around, he participated in the first and first screenings of the film.

Especially at the premiere, the audience applauded for at least ten minutes.

This kind of film is very popular in Cannes.

"Is there a best soundtrack in Cannes?" Zhang Pu then asked.

"There is the best screenwriter!" Jiang Yun said angrily.

Zhang Pu shook his head, he didn't think he could win this best screenplay. I don't think I can even get a nomination.

If it is the Golden Dragon Award, it may still be possible. After all, Cannes attracts filmmakers from all over the world.

The stage is different, and the competitors are not the same.

"Teacher, haven't you been interviewed by reporters today?" Zhang Pu asked with a smile.

"Farewell My Concubine" caused a great sensation in Cannes, and media reporters in Europe, North America and other places also paid great attention, not to mention Asian and domestic media.

During this time, Jiang Yun was constantly interviewed, and the major leading actors were no exception.

Otherwise, Zhang Pu would not have gone to the beach alone to bask in the sun.

"You're going to hide. Jiang Yun said, "Lao Jiang has opinions about you, but you are the boss of the company, and you don't care at all." Besides, since you're here, it's better to communicate with foreign filmmakers!"

Zhang Pu smiled awkwardly.

He really went to watch a few movies, some by himself, and some with Xiao Xue and them.

Those movies are naturally good movies, but Zhang Pu really doesn't love them.

He doesn't like movies that are more literary and artistic, not to mention that those are still foreign language films.

The Cannes Film Festival attracted global attention, and domestic media naturally came, and the news that "Farewell My Concubine" entered the main competition unit is also the only work in China to enter the main competition unit.

Naturally, this was passed back in the first place.

"Farewell My Concubine" has once again entered the public's field of vision.

This movie, which makes Zhang Pu's "Nobody" reluctant to meet him at the Golden Dragon Awards, seems to be really an excellent movie.

Chinese filmmakers have not performed well at the Cannes Film Festival for a long time.

Will "Farewell My Concubine" surprise you?

"Teacher, calm down!" Zhang Pu looked at Jiang Yun, who was a little restless, and said with a smile, "Do you have to face the media reporters later?"

"Humph!"

Jiang Yun glared at Zhang Pu, snorted, and said.

"If you receive a call in advance for tonight's awards, then you have a better chance of winning the award. But if you don't get a call, it's hard to say. Jiang Xingwen said.

This seems to explain why Jiang Yun couldn't sit still at this time.

"Can this be revealed in advance?" Zhang Pu said with some surprise.

"Winners of awards usually get a phone call suggesting that you must be present in the evening. Jiang Yun said, "If this film returns empty-handed, you kid will wait for the box office to hit the streets!"

He can see that Zhang Pu doesn't have much desire for awards. He cares about the box office.

"Can't pounce!" Zhang Pu said lightly.

The film has a great impact in Cannes, and many film companies have come to the door, and the price is not low.

In some countries, the copyright has been sold.

Of course, most of them remain.

If you win the prize, the rest of the price will definitely go up a lot.

Zhang Puchu made a rough estimate that only foreign copyrights are used, and the film has a profit of at least hundreds of millions.

This is still a case where you didn't win the prize.

If you win a prize, it is possible to double it.

This does not include Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions.

The price of the North American copyright is 10 million US dollars, which is converted into Chinese dollars, which is more than 60 million.

However, Zhang Pu thought that the offer was too low, and after discussing with Jiang Xingwen, he politely refused.

Jiang Xingwen estimates that if he wins a grand prize, not to mention 20 million, it is estimated that 15 million US dollars is still possible.

Of course, it's only possible.

After all, the highest box office in North America is only about $40 million.

The cradle of commercial cinema in the North American market.

"Farewell My Concubine", a film that is more literary and artistic, is very risky at the box office.

All morning, there was no movement.

Jiang Yun and Jiang Xingwen's eyes were a little complicated, they seemed to be lost, they seemed to be a little unconvinced, and they seemed to have some expectations.

Zhang Pu frowned.

Is there no harvest of grains?

"Eat first!" Zhang Pu said, "Isn't it still early in the evening?"

"Eat!" Jiang Yun nodded, and then got up.

Xiao Xue sighed and got up as well.

She knows that her chances of winning the award are very small, and there is no difference between actress and supporting actress in Cannes, only best actress.

If it is divided, she may still have some opportunities with the role of Juxian.

But if you don't divide it, the odds are much smaller.

After all, that character suffers somewhat compared to other film characters.

Zhang Pu said that Su Sheng had a chance.

That's what she believes. However, nowadays......

Everyone got up and was about to go out, but the phone remembered it.

"Telephone number of the Department of General Assembly Services. Jiang Yun looked at it and said with some excitement.

When everyone heard this, they immediately came to their senses.

"How?"

Seeing Jiang Yun hang up the phone, Jiang Xingwen couldn't wait to ask.

"It should be stable. Jiang Yun smiled, then looked at Su Sheng, and said, "They asked if they needed to arrange a car, and they also mentioned Su Sheng." ”

"Me?" Su Sheng was taken aback and said.

"Perhaps, Chinese filmmakers are going to produce another Cannes actor again. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

The weight of the Cannes actor is still extremely heavy.

At least in the eyes of people in China, it has more weight than the Golden Dragon Award actor.

Naturally, there have been Cannes actor stars in China, and the most famous one is naturally Zhou Chaohua.

"I, I ......"

Even if it was just possible, Su Sheng was a little incoherent with excitement at this time.

"I don't know at night. Jiang Yun said.

Zhang Pu also smiled and said, "This meal at noon should be much more fragrant, right?"

Whether Su Sheng will be crowned emperor or not, Zhang Pu is not clear.

The original actor was deliberately voted for Best Actress by the judges, resulting in missing out on the actor, Su Sheng should not be so unlucky.

If you don't get noticed, you don't necessarily win the prize.

Those who are notified may not be rewarded for their prizes.

Everything, all got in the evening.

At half past seven in the evening, it was already half past one in the morning in Yanjing.

The Cannes Awards Ceremony was held.

Zhang Pu naturally also participated with the crew of "Farewell My Concubine".

Among the Cannes Prizes, the Palme d'Or, which has the most weight, should be followed by the Grand Jury Prize, which is the Grand Jury Prize.

The first award was the Grand Jury Prize, which was beyond Zhang Pu's expectations.

Isn't it usually the first way to get smaller awards?

The Palme d'Or should be the last one awarded.

One end and the other, they are all heavyweight and highly watched awards. So, it seems to be good.

The best screenwriter did not have his share as Zhang Pu himself expected.

"Oh, yes. Director Zhang Ke's new film is a collaboration with Oriental DreamWorks. There's a role in it, and if you're interested, I recommend you audition. Zhang Pu whispered to Xiao Xue next to him.

"Huh?"

Xiao Xue was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zhang Pu with some surprise.

At this time, he still had the heart to recommend himself to audition?

Didn't you see that your teacher was very nervous at this time?

"Not interested?" Zhang Pu said suspiciously.

Zhang Ke's play, she is not interested, it can't be that she filmed a "Farewell My Concubine", right?

"Yes!" Xiao Xue came back to her senses and said, "Director Zhang's play, who is not interested." I'm just surprised that you're still interested in mentioning this at this time. Aren't you nervous?"

"I'll be nervous when my movie comes to Cannes one day!"

Zhang Pu followed Xiao Xue's gaze and glanced at Jiang Yun and said with a smile.

He's really not nervous?

No!

It's just not as nervous as Jiang Yun.

Maybe it's a bit of a "it's none of your business".

In this film, he is just a porter. Even if this film is awarded, it will not give him any sense of achievement.

Of course, he also wants to win the prize.

So, he's nervous too.

As soon as Xiao Xue mentioned Zhang Ke's new film, he actually had some thoughts about relieving tension.

Alleviate his, and also relieve Xiao Xue's.

"Wow!"

Jiang Yun, Jiang Xingwen and others next to him suddenly cheered, while Su Sheng was stunned.

"Su Sheng has won the award!"

Xiao Xue also shouted in some surprise.

Zhang Pu smiled indifferently.

Well, this one is a bit pretended, and he can't help but cheer.

"Lao Tzu has seen the world!"

"That's to be expected, there's nothing to be surprised about. Calm, calm!"

"Calm down a bird!"

In the end, he couldn't help but stand up, and then hugged Su Sheng who was passing by.

"Teacher, is it rare for a film to win more than one award in Cannes?"

Watching Su Sheng come to the stage, Zhang Pu asked Jiang Yun next to him in a low voice.

Jiang Yun nodded.

He feels that the best director and the Palme d'Or are getting farther and farther away from "Farewell My Concubine".

"You kid picked up a bargain. Jiang Yun smiled reluctantly and said.

Zhang Pu also smiled, he did pick up a bargain.

Su Sheng was crowned emperor in Cannes, not to mention the skyrocketing salary, it will definitely rise a lot.

But Zhang Pu signed him in advance, and the salary has been paid.

Su Sheng won the Cannes actor, and his popularity will definitely skyrocket, which will definitely greatly promote the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

In addition, the heroine of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is still Xiao Xue, who also participated in "Farewell My Concubine".

If "Farewell My Concubine" is a classic, "A Chinese Ghost Story" can completely gain popularity.

Su Sheng was crowned emperor, and this trip to Cannes was not in vain.

However, for Oriental DreamWorks, it is inevitable that there will be some regrets.

After all, Su Sheng is not an artist under the company.

The best director failed to win as expected, and a trace of loss flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes.

However, Zhang Pu knows very well that what Jiang Yun wants most is not the best director, but the Palme d'Or.

Is it just possible?

Life is full of surprises.

Everyone who was mentally prepared, but they didn't want to usher in a surprise.

"Wow!"

This time, even Zhang Pu couldn't help but stand up with cheers.

"Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or.

This is also the first time that a Chinese film has won the Cannes Palme d'Or!

This award is very significant.

Before this, Huaxia films had only won the Grand Jury Prize.

The Palme d'Or, the highest award at the Cannes Film Festival.

Jiang Yun is the king.

Zhang Pu was relieved.

The original version also won the award, but this time it was unique and not tied with another film like the original.

"I know very well how difficult it is for me to stand on the podium in Cannes today. This is the most important moment of my life......" Jiang Yun said his testimonial to the audience.

At this time, he was a little excited, and his words were a little trembling.

No one laughed at him, not everyone on stage.

Many couldn't even speak, just burst into tears.

"Finally, I have to thank one person. That is Zhang Pu, the screenwriter of this film. Needless to say, domestic friends are not clear, and foreign friends are estimated to be unclear. He is also a director, an extremely good young director. He is also my student, my pride. Perhaps, my Jiang Yun's biggest contribution to Chinese films is not how many good films he has made and how many awards he has won, but how many Zhang Pu he has taught!"

When Jiang Yun mentioned himself, Zhang Pu clearly felt that there were many cameras aimed at him.

Smiling at the camera, but the smile is inevitably a little embarrassing.

He wanted to say, "Teacher, is it really good that you praise me like this?"

Zhang Pu felt that the eyes of many people around him were looking at him, which made him uncomfortable.

"Teacher, you praise me so much, and you are not afraid that I will be proud?"

When Jiang Yun came back, Zhang Pu couldn't help but say.

"Will you?" Jiang Yun said with a smile, "Your kid's heart is bigger than mine." ”

After winning the award, Jiang Yun couldn't be in a bad mood.

Do I have a big heart?

Perhaps!

Zhang Pu shook his head, and then asked: "Teacher, is there a director in Cannes who has won two consecutive Palme d'Or?"

Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Pu, and his eyes flashed with heat!

Have it?

It doesn't seem to be!

If he wins the Palme d'Or for the second time in a row......

Does "Parasite" have a chance?

Whether he had the chance or not, he was going to give it a try.

Next year, with "Parasite", I will fight for the Palme d'Or again.

Is there a chance?

Zhang Pu thinks there are still some. Didn't the original version of "Parasite" win the Palme d'Or?

proves that the film itself has the possibility of competing for this award.

Jiang Yun's director level is naturally undoubted, so it depends on the competitors.
