"Farewell My Concubine" returned home with honor.

Zhang Pu and others did not intend to hide it, and their whereabouts were naturally known to many media reporters.

As soon as I got off the plane, I was blocked by countless media reporters.

However, the company has already made arrangements, so it will not be at a loss.

"Old Han, you're exaggerating. Jiang Yun said to Han Shan with a smile.

A banner of "Farewell My Concubine" to win glory for the country is very conspicuous.

Not to mention that those reporters inquired about Zhang Pu's flight, even if they didn't, I'm afraid the news couldn't be hidden.

"It's not an exaggeration at all. You deserve it. Han Shan said with a smile, "How many sessions have the Cannes Film Festival been held, Chinese films compete every year, and the biggest award that can be won is only the Jury Prize." The highest award, the Palme d'Or, has not been able to get its wish for a long time, which is not a knot and a shame for Chinese filmmakers. And your "Farewell My Concubine" washes away this shame. ”

Han Shan is in a good mood.

"Farewell My Concubine" won the Cannes Palme d'Or, which is a progress in Chinese films.

This is one of his great achievements.

He is one of the participants in this film, and Huaying is not only one of the distributors, but also one of the investors.

At this time, Han Shan was no longer as excited and excited as when he first got the news.

But the mood is still a little excited.

When he got the news at that time, he couldn't help but call Zhang Ke in excitement.

He didn't even think about whether Zhang Ke would taste it.

Excited, I want to share it with others.

The first thing that came to mind was Zhang Ke.

A friend for many years, and an insider in the circle.

As a result, after Zhang Ke was woken up, he fell asleep for a long time.

"I'm embarrassed about what you said. Jiang Yun said with a smile.

The group walked out of the airport with laughter and laughter, and those reporters didn't have a chance to come forward to interview.

However, leaving the news of tomorrow's press conference made them feel a little less resentful.

"Farewell My Concubine" won the highest prize palm in Cannes.

Is this a big honor?

Let's see what is benevolent. To put it bigger, it is to win glory for the country. To put it mildly, it's just one award, and it's every year.

However, the impact is definitely not small.

After all, the film and television industry itself is the industry that attracts the most attention.

The news in the entertainment industry is already very topical.

This kind of award is inevitably hyped by the media.

If there are many influential and concerned people, then the honor will be amplified wirelessly.

That evening, the news network reported on the matter.

That's a sure.

"Strike while the iron is hot and arrange the release!" Xu Jiadong suggested.

"It's a pity, the May Day schedule must be out of play, it's too late. Jiang Xingwen said, "Next, the competition in the summer file is not small. And the time interval is long, and the heat will dissipate a lot. ”

The summer file has a long time span, but the competition is definitely not low, and it is not uncommon for Hollywood films to be released together.

Zhang Pu and Xu Jiadong smiled awkwardly, a little embarrassed.

There is no doubt that there is a mistake in them.

If it is arranged in advance, as soon as the award is won over there, it will be released here, and it can catch up with the good schedule of May Day.

With such popularity, the box office is definitely considerable.

Now, the release will be arranged immediately and the publicity will begin, and the enthusiasm for winning the award will dissipate a lot.

"Let's release it as soon as possible!" Zhang Pu said, "This film is more literary and artistic, even if it has the title of Cannes Palme d'Or, I am afraid it may not have much box office competitiveness, and there is no need to put it in the summer file." What's more, I'm still waiting for the two leading actors to start the film!"

"How about May 10th? The first weekend after the May Day holiday. Jiang Xingwen said, "It's just that it will be affected by the market potential of the May Day schedule." ”

Zhang Pu and Xu Jiadong both nodded. It may have some impact, but it's not huge. The "box office vacuum period" that appeared after May 1st may not be big, and the time may not be long.

Released at this time, it should be the best choice after the comprehensive pros and cons.

The schedule of "Farewell My Concubine" has been completed, and the preliminary publicity will naturally start immediately. Xiao Xue and Su Sheng naturally want to participate in the promotion of the film.

Xiao Xue is very popular, and her box office appeal is not weak, and her fans can contribute a lot of box office.

Su Sheng has just won a Cannes actor now, and among the topics of integrity, it is naturally the focus of publicity.

Of course, Jiang Yun and Zhang Pu are the focus of propaganda.

The promotion before the release of the film naturally does not require Zhang Pu's participation. Even if it was a press conference held after returning to China, Zhang Pu found a reason to shirk it.

He is the screenwriter of the film, but he has no sense of accomplishment.

If he directed, even if he referred to the original version, how could he have a sense of accomplishment, and he would not be so weak when facing the media.

Of course, he also deliberately avoided it.

"Farewell My Concubine" is Jiang Yun's work, and Zhang Pu appears too much, which is not good.

Zhang Pu and Jiang Yun stood in front of the media, and those reporters must have paid more attention to Zhang Pu.

This has nothing to do with the level of directing of the two.

Although Jiang Yun is the director of "Farewell My Concubine", he definitely does not have Zhang Pu to attract attention.

Zhang Pu's popularity is high and the topic is enough.

He was radiant, but Jiang Yun's radiance was restrained.

Stars, after all, are more attractive than directors.

Zhang Pu is a director and a star.

He felt that he didn't need to steal Jiang Yun's limelight, it was his honor, and the ministry belonged to him.

"Is Cannes fun?"

Xu Jiahui looked at Zhang Pu and Xiao Xue and asked.

For the promotion of "Farewell My Concubine", it is impossible for Zhang Pu not to participate in it completely.

He is not only the screenwriter and soundtrack of this film, but also one of the singers of the theme song of this film.

Film promotion, the theme song is naturally one of the means of publicity.

Not to mention anything else, Xu Jiahui sang the theme song of this film, and her fans willingly contributed some box office.

Of course, that's not the point of the propaganda.

Xu Jiahui will not keep running for publicity.

"We're not here to play!" Xiao Xue looked at Xu Jiahui and said with a smile.

Are you jealous?

We're going to make some movies next, wouldn't you be even more ......

"Some people are. Xu Jiahui pouted and said.

Xiao Xue and others have to attend some activities to promote the film or something when they go to Cannes.

That's also a kind of propaganda for yourself.

And these, Zhang Pu did not.

He was almost oblivious to these things.

"You just say I don't have it. Zhang Pu said, "Cannes is good, if you want to go, go in June or July, the scenery is the best." ”

Xu Jiahui seemed to be a little moved by Zhang Pu's suggestion, and then looked at Xiao Xue, as if asking what she meant.

"I don't have a schedule. Xiao Xue shook her head and said.

"Filming "A Chinese Ghost Story"!" Zhang Pu saw Xu Jiahui looking at him again, and then said.

"You've been busy all year round, so you haven't thought about giving yourself a vacation?" Xu Jiahui pouted and said, "I actually didn't think much about going to Cannes." I've always wanted to go to Egypt, see the pyramids, see the Sphinx. ”

"Holiday?" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "I'm sure I'll be fine." However, on Xiao Xue's side, I'm afraid it's a little difficult. She's popular, she's willing to rest, and their company probably doesn't want either!"

"As long as it's not long, it's okay to take a break for a while. Xiao Xue said, "However, it is estimated that it will not work this year." ”

"You're going to shoot until next year?" Xu Jiahui shook her head and said, "Your company will really squeeze employees." ”

"A lot of it wasn't arranged by the company. Xiao Xue shook her head and said, "After "A Chinese Ghost Story", I want to fight for the film directed by Zhang Ke. If you don't pass the audition, I'll take a break and accompany you to Egypt. ”

"How can I feel like I'm being used as a spare tire!" Xu Jiahui pouted.

"For the role of Jade Jiaolong, you still have a chance. Zhang Pu thought for a while and said.

Zhang Pu recommended Xiao Xue to audition for the role of Yu Jiaolong.

She has played "Dragon Gate Inn", and her performance is extremely good. Among the many young actresses, Xiao Xue is definitely the most competitive one.

Zhang Pu recommended her, not because the two had a good personal relationship, but because she was really suitable.

With Zhang Pu's recommendation, Zhang Ke is still somewhat biased. In addition, Xiao Xue is not low in popularity now, and has acted in martial arts films, and has experience in playing.

Of course, there is just a chance, and it may not fall on Xiao Xue's head in the end.

Zhang Ke's play, the actors compete, which time is not intense?

"What about you?"

Xu Jiahui looked at Zhang Pu and said seemingly casually, but there was a strong expectation in her eyes.

Xiao Xue also looked over, but her heart was tight.

She seemed afraid that Zhang Pu would agree.

"Me?" Zhang Pu was stunned for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it then!"

He didn't seem to be able to refuse, nor did he agree, so he gave a mock answer.

Xu Jiahui pursed her lips, her eyes flashed a hint of loss, and Xiao Xue seemed to be a little relieved.

The publicity of "Farewell My Concubine" is in full swing, and "A Chinese Ghost Story" has also attracted the attention of many media.

In this Zhang Pu's new film, the hero and heroine have been officially announced.

Xiao Xue, Su Sheng, and Yuan Hong, just these three names already make people want to watch movies.

On Friday, May 10th, "Farewell My Concubine" was released.

The next day, Saturday, Zhang Pu still went to the company.

He wanted to see the film's exact box office.

"There's something I think I need to tell you about. Xu Jiadong looked at Zhang Pu and said.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Pu asked curiously.

"Su Sheng jumped off the nest and went to Orange Entertainment. Xu Jiadong said.

"Where?"

When Zhang Pu heard this, he suddenly looked at Xu Jiadong, and he suspected that he had heard it wrong.

He has a good relationship with Su Sheng, maybe not as good as Guo Ji and Huang Ye, but he can barely be regarded as a friend.

Hearing the news at first glance, Zhang Pu was unwilling to accept it more than not to believe it.

There is a sense of immediacy as if a friend is thrown into the arms of an enemy.

"Orange Entertainment!" Xu Jiadong said again, "I heard that it is a top-level contract, and there is also a male number one with a big investment of 200 million." Orange Entertainment is a heavy code this time. ”

"Is he worth the price?"

Zhang Pu took a deep breath, a chuckle appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly.

Su Sheng went to Orange and Yellow Entertainment, and he Zhang Pu was not qualified to make irresponsible remarks.

But he was still a little unhappy in his heart.

Top contract, the treatment of the king and queen of the red line. Su Sheng is obviously not to that extent now, even if he wins a Cannes actor.

"It's not worth it now! But after "A Chinese Ghost Story", it's worth it. Xu Jiadong said.

Su Sheng used to be at most second-tier, but now that he has won a Cannes actor, can he be on the first line?

Apparently not yet!

The biggest use of the Cannes actor is to make his acting skills recognized.

Naturally, the popularity will increase a lot.

But if you say that there is any box office appeal, then I am afraid it is a bit far-fetched, unless the box office of "Farewell My Concubine" is amazing enough.

It is not uncommon for an actor to be unknown to everyone in the circle.

Su Sheng has the potential to be popular at most at this time, but at this time, he is definitely not popular, and it is not enough to rely on "Farewell My Concubine".

His background is too poor.

If he wants to be on the front line, he must have a popular movie to inherit this popularity. Otherwise, after the popularity of "Farewell My Concubine" dissipates, the attention of him, the Cannes actor, will naturally plummet.

If nothing else, he reappears in front of the public every year or two, who still knows who he is?

Su Sheng's popularity is only inflated now, and the risk of slipping is very high, and it still needs a popular movie to condense.

"I didn't expect that I, Zhang Pu, would make a wedding dress for Orange Entertainment!" Zhang Pu shook his head and said with some self-deprecation.

Is he angry?

Can you not be angry?

Before, I suddenly heard about it, and I was a little angry with Su Sheng.

Now, that bit of anger is gone, but the anger is hard to dissipate.

It's not that I'm angry that Su Sheng went to Orange Entertainment, but I'm angry at the thought of making a wedding dress for Orange Entertainment.

He can accept Su Sheng to go to Orange Entertainment, but he can't accept himself to make a wedding dress for Orange Entertainment.

The Cannes actor who won their company's film was picked by Orange and Yellow Entertainment.

didn't say anything about picking peaches, but he wanted to use his own movies to help him condense his popularity and completely sit on the front line.

What is this?

After picking Lao Tzu's peaches, why do you want Lao Tzu to wash them for you and feed them in your mouth?

That's too bullying, isn't it?

"I think it's necessary to discuss with Lao Jiang and get the brokerage business up. Xu Jiadong said.

The artists of Oriental DreamWorks are now Zhang Chu, and they are free-range at all, so they basically don't care. pays wages every month, but Zhang Chu has not brought a penny of benefits to the company, which is an absolute loss.

If the company's brokerage business was relatively perfect, I am afraid that Su Sheng would have been dug into the company a long time ago.

knew that Su Sheng might become popular with "Farewell My Concubine", but he was indifferent.

If Su Sheng went to other film and television companies, Zhang Pu probably wouldn't have much feeling.

But he went to Orange Entertainment.

This is like a slap in Zhang Pu's face.

Not to mention Zhang Pu, Xu Jiadong is a little difficult to accept.

At this time, Xu Jiadong suddenly sobered up.

If Su Sheng is signed to the company, even if he jumps out of the nest, he can earn some liquidated damages, which is somewhat comforting, unlike now making a wedding dress for Orange Entertainment, and he can only watch it.

Aggrieved!

"Huang Cheng is a powerful hand, worthy of being a veteran in the circle, and it will be difficult for you to ride a tiger. Xu Jiadong sighed and said.

He understands Zhang Pu's temper.

"Will I use the artists under Orange Entertainment?" Zhang Pu said lightly.

"You want to change people?" Xu Jiadong said, "Where is the time for you to change people at this time? What's more, do you think other film and television companies involved in the investment will agree?"

"Do you need their consent?" Zhang Pu said lightly.

It doesn't seem like they really need to agree.

Love to vote or not?

The relationship between primary and secondary is very clear, Zhang Pu's new film does not lack that investment, and he occupies the absolute initiative.

"Lao Jiang will not agree to the substitution. Xu Jiadong shook his head and said, "Pull a hair and move the whole body." You can't find a suitable candidate now! You don't have to get along with money, right? Su Sheng starred, full of gimmicks. What's more, now that it has been officially announced, it will be turned on soon, and suddenly there will be a change, what will the public think?"

Xu Jiadong obviously did not agree to the substitution.

He understands Zhang Pu, and he can understand it. Even if he doesn't understand movies, he knows that Su Sheng's appearance in "A Chinese Ghost Story" can maximize his benefits.

Zhang Pu was silent.

Replacing Su Sheng at this time has a great impact on "A Chinese Ghost Story".

"If you don't change, you won't be angry!"

After a moment, Zhang Pu spoke. Huang Cheng's hand really made him in a dilemma.

If you don't change it, you are unwilling and extremely unhappy.

In exchange, the loss is huge.

If he loses Zhang Pu's artist, then it's okay to say.

Unfortunately not!

"There's no urgency in this matter, you think about it first. Xu Jiadong seemed to see Zhang Pu's hesitation and spoke.

Zhang Pu nodded.

With his temper, he will definitely replace Su Sheng.

But he had to suppress his temper, he needed to take care of the overall situation. He can't let his temper hurt the interests of others.
