The trip to Cannes, "Farewell My Concubine" can be described as a full return.

A top award, the Cannes Palme d'Or, plus an actor, of course, the copyright fee has naturally sold a lot of money.

The film hasn't been released yet, but it's already profitable.

However, the North American distribution rights were eventually sold for $12 million.

This is the limit of the other party.

Although it only rose by $2 million, it can be regarded as the credit of the Cannes Palme d'Or.

The box office of Chinese-language films in North America is not very high, and it is good to be able to sell at such a price.

If it is released by itself, or the box office is shared, I am afraid it will be difficult to have so much.

Comparatively speaking, countries such as Europe, especially France, undoubtedly offer higher prices.

This kind of film has a lot of box office appeal in France, and now it has won the Palme d'Or, not to mention.

Of course, higher is only relatively speaking, and the actual price is naturally difficult to compare with North American copyright, after all, the size of the market is very different.

When "Farewell My Concubine" won the Cannes Palme d'Or, it was already past two o'clock in the morning in China.

But even so, there are countless people who cheer for it.

It's an honor.

The honor that belongs to the entire Chinese people.

Of course, the biggest shock is undoubtedly the film and television industry.

"What's wrong? It's so late, who called?" Zhang Koh frowned and asked Zhang Ke.

"Lao Jiang's old guy's film won a Palme d'Or at Cannes, and he also won a Cannes actor. Zhang Ke shook his head and said.

His words were a little sighing, a little surprised, and a little taken for granted.

Some are happy, and some are envious.

Zhang Ke's mood at this time was indeed a little complicated.

"Farewell My Concubine" entered the competition unit, and he was not surprised at all.

He has seen the film and knows whether it is good or bad.

Even, after reading the script, he knew that this film would definitely shine.

But I couldn't help but be a little surprised to learn that he won the Cannes Palme d'Or.

"So powerful?" said Zhang Koop.

She is not an insider, but she knows the weight of the Palme d'Or.

"Old Jiang called you to get sucky?"

Immediately afterward, Zhang Koop smiled.

Jiang Yun and Zhang Ke have been friends for so many years, how can Zhang Koh not know each other?

The two of them hit each other, always struggling in front of each other, and she was used to it.

"It's not him, Lao Han beat him. However, I guess the old guy will make this call as soon as the awards ceremony is over. Zhang Ke said with a smile, "You say, if I turn off the phone, the old guy can't get through, will he be suffocated?"

"Can you hide from the first year of junior high school, and you can avoid fifteen?" Zhang Kovren shook his head and said with a smile, "Then I will also turn off the phone, if he can't get through to your phone, he won't necessarily call my phone!"

When Zhang Ke heard this, he smiled.

Why did his wife turn off the phone, he naturally knew that it was not a husband and wife, nor was it to block Jiang Yun, it was purely because he was afraid that Jiang Yun's old guy's phone call would disturb his dreams.

It was destined to be a sleepless night.

The award ceremony ended, but the matter of Zhang Pu and others did not end.

Some socializing is essential.

"Teacher, are you calling Director Zhang to report the good news?" Zhang Pu said to Jiang Yun with a smile.

The words of the good news are pure ridicule.

How could Zhang Pu not know that Jiang Yun was going to be embarrassed in front of Zhang Ke.

"Are you so anxious to share your joy with Director Zhang? It's past three o'clock in the morning in China!" Zhang Pu then smiled, "Director Zhang, I'm afraid they're sleeping." ”

"Sleep a fart!" Jiang Yun said, "Didn't that old boy call me to 'report the good news' when he won the jury prize?"

When Zhang Pu heard this, he smiled dumbly.

Sure enough, it's "revenge"!

Is it really okay for you to hurt each other like this?

"When did the old boy go to bed and turn off his phone?" Jiang Yun snorted and said, "Do you think I can't do it?"

What's the solution?

Zhang Pu guessed a few points.

However, Director Zhang turned off his mobile phone, maybe it was just to prevent you.

How could he leave a flaw?

"This old boy must have gotten the news, and even turned off his wife's mobile phone. Jiang Yun said indignantly.

failed to avenge the "revenge with one arrow" in front of Zhang Ke for the first time, Jiang Yun's mood was somewhat depressed, and the excitement of winning the award was diluted a lot.

If you don't share this kind of good news with your good friends, you always feel that something is missing.

Could it be that the brocade clothes travel at night, and the rich do not return to their hometowns?

"Did you really call Sister Ting?" Cai Ya glanced at Jiang Yun and said, "You're not afraid of her scolding?" ”

The two families have been friends for many years, Zhang Ke and Jiang Yun often visit the door, and Cai Ya and Zhang Koh are naturally familiar with each other.

Jiang Yun smiled, it seemed that it was really possible to be scolded!

"Farewell My Concubine" became famous in Cannes, and the impact must have been great.

Some people can't sleep with excitement, while others toss and turn because they can't accept it.

Jiang Yun returned as the king and once again became one of the top directors in China.

Among the top directors in China, the only one who has not won an international award is Feng Jiashan.

In the past, he became one of the top directors entirely because of his amazing box office, which once occupied the top spot at the box office.

But now, he was first squeezed out of the box office list by Zhang Ke and others, and even left behind.

Films that break one billion have appeared again and again, but he has not been there for a long time, and the name of a top director also makes people question whether he is worthy of his name.

was forced to spend money to make a blockbuster, and the box office hit the billion mark, in order to maintain the face of top directors.

But who would have thought that "Qin Huang", a big production with an investment of more than 300 million, although it broke the one billion box office mark, the effect does not seem to be very ideal.

was given a small-budget movie by Zhang Pu, so he pressed it under him. Although the box office broke the billion mark, his face as a top director was not maintained.

Today, his title as a top director is still questioned by some people.

In this case, Jiang Yun returned with "Farewell My Concubine" and directly won the Cannes Palme d'Or and Cannes Best Actor.

This pushed him to the forefront.

He can already imagine that "Emperor Qin" will meet "Farewell My Concubine" on the Golden Dragon next year, and he will probably be beaten into scum.

The problem is that someone has put the two films together before.

Zhang Pu!

Feng Jiashan thought of this, and his teeth itched at Zhang Pu.

"The Nameless" is not afraid of "Emperor Qin", afraid of "Farewell My Concubine", and is unwilling to confront it, so he nominated for this year's Golden Dragon Award.

As soon as Zhang Pu's words came out, the media directly understood that Zhang Pu thought that "Emperor Qin" was not as good as "Farewell My Concubine".

Maybe it's really not as good, but if they are put together like this, does he Feng Jiashan still have face?

As soon as the news of the Cannes Film Festival came back, the winner was decided, and there was no need to wait until next year's Golden Dragon Awards.

I'm afraid that the doubts about his reputation as Feng Jiashan's top director are going to boil again.

A director who has been famous for many years, but when he is old, he has been repeatedly questioned about his unworthy name.

It's uncomfortable for anyone to do this.

Feng Jiashan expected that he would be questioned for winning the award for "Farewell My Concubine", so he tossed and turned.

But Huang Cheng thought about it a lot.

"Farewell My Concubine" is a joint investment of Oriental DreamWorks and Huaying, but the producer is Oriental DreamWorks. Huaying is only an investment and distribution.

When shooting, although most of them are people who use Huaying.

But this film is a film from Oriental DreamWorks, not Huaying.

Now, those people have followed Jiang Yun into the Oriental Dream Factory.

The development momentum of Oriental DreamWorks is a bit fierce!

"Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or, so Jiang Yun will definitely be among the top directors. Lin Mu, as a quasi-first-line director, even if he goes to Oriental DreamWorks, as long as he has a popular movie, he will immediately be promoted to the list of first-line directors.

And Zhang Pu is a little special.

Three movies with small and big movies, one of which also broke the box office of 1.2 billion. It may be a bit reluctant to say that he is a first-line director, but his popularity and popularity, as well as box office appeal, I am afraid that most first-line directors are much higher.

As long as his next movie doesn't hit the streets, the reputation is as good as ever, and no one will question the first-line directors anymore.

There are not many directors, but they are strong.

Even if it is a high hope for filming a TV series, it is definitely a first-line in the TV circle at this time.

Oriental DreamWorks' background in directing is probably incomparable to many big film and television companies.

What's more, he also has the support of the theater chain behind him.

We must try to contain the law, and if we allow it to develop, it will definitely be a big threat.

The relationship between the two companies is not very friendly.

Relying only on the suppression of Orange and Yellow Entertainment, I'm afraid it's a little too much!

Guangyun Film and Television?

I'm afraid not, they just had a lot of oil with "The Nameless", and when they heard about Zhang Pu's new film, they also participated.

Sino-Swiss Pictures?

It's hard to say.

Although they did not participate in "Nobody", the male number one Guo Ji is their artist.

What about light and shadow?

Huang Cheng still shook his head.

In the end, I had to sigh that Zhang Pu and Xu Jiadong both gave up their interests.

If they eat alone, it will be too easy to attack them.

But these days, there are only a few places where to start.

Huang Cheng knows very well that there is Han Shan behind Oriental DreamWorks, there is Huaying, and it is okay to suppress Oriental DreamWorks, but the means must be within the rules, if it is over the line, it will definitely be Orange and Yellow Entertainment that is unlucky.

Zhang Pu!

Oriental DreamWorks!

Also, "A Chinese Ghost Story" has picked up a big bargain.

Could it be that Zhang Pu expected that "Farewell My Concubine" would explode in advance?

Huang Cheng suddenly felt that his kid had provoked a great person.

If it is not provoked, perhaps with the relationship between the two alumni, Zhang Pu may not be able to be used by Orange Entertainment!

Are you too spoiled by him?

Huang Cheng thought a lot, and even finally reflected on his way of teaching his children.

The sky was getting brighter, Huang Cheng got up and prepared to go to the company, he knew very well that in the next few days, I am afraid it will be about Jiang Yun and the news about "Farewell My Concubine".

Sure enough, "Farewell My Concubine" won the Cannes Palme d'Or, and Su Sheng won the title of Emperor of Cannes with the role of Cheng Dieyi, which made the front page headlines of major domestic media.

And Zhang Pu naturally followed suit.

The reason why he is frequently mentioned by those media, in addition to being one of the screenwriters and investors of this film, is that Jiang Yun praised him fiercely at the award ceremony.

Has Jiang Yun made a big contribution to Chinese films?

Nature is great.

Putting aside his previous works, "Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, so as a director, his contribution to Chinese films is great.

But in his opinion, such a great contribution is far worse than teaching a Zhang Pu.

Seemingly, not without reason.

Without Zhang Pu, how could there be the movie "Farewell My Concubine"?

After all, there is no script, where did the film come from.

In this way, Zhang Pu's importance to "Farewell My Concubine" has increased a lot.

In China, major media have reported on it, and there are naturally many topics on the Internet.

And many parties are mostly asleep at this time.

Of course, there are people who are too excited to toss and turn and still can't sleep.

Among them, Su Sheng is the most.

Before him, he was not well-known and popular, and he was born in Peking Opera, but his acting skills were not recognized in the circle.

Now, a Cannes actor, all problems are solved.

He is well aware that his career will usher in an explosive period.

And just when he was so excited that he couldn't sleep, his agent called from China.

"There's a top company that offers you a top contract. As long as you sign, liquidated damages are out of them. A big production of no less than 200 million that will start filming in the second half of the year is your ......"

The agent's voice trembled a little, obviously not expecting that a company would offer such high conditions.

"Which company?"

Su Sheng couldn't help but ask. He was thrilled at this time, and it was not much better than when he won the award.

Are you going to turn over the salted fish?

It came so quickly.

"Orange Entertainment!"

The agent said hurriedly.

"Which company?!" Su Sheng said, "Orange Entertainment?"

In addition to the special Huaying, there are only four top companies in China. However, Su Sheng definitely didn't expect that it would be Orange Entertainment.

Why Orange Entertainment?

Su Sheng's excitement faded a lot, and he guessed a few points.

"I know what you're worried about?" said the agent, "Zhang Pu has a grudge against Huang Ze at most, and he doesn't have a good relationship with Orange Entertainment, but it's not incompatible." There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Isn't that the case in the circle? Zhang Pu cooperated with Orange Entertainment one day, and there is nothing strange about it. You go to Orange Entertainment, what else can he say? You're not an artist in their company. ”

"But I took on Director Zhang's new film. Su Sheng said.

"Are you still short of filming now?" Su Sheng's agent said, "Even if he knows that you went to Orange Entertainment, and the film will start soon, will he still be replaced? "Farewell My Concubine" is popular, and you also won the Cannes Best Actor, which has a great effect on his film. The current salary must have been doubled several times, but he signed you with the previous salary. ”

Su Sheng's heart was moved, and in the end, the worry was gone.

In the early morning of Cannes, the air is mixed with a hint of the freshness of the sea.

Zhang Pu has been sleeping well, getting up early in the morning, running and practicing boxing, refreshed.

"Haven't you calmed down yet?"

Seeing that Su Sheng's eyes were bloodshot and his dark circles were thick, he immediately said with a smile.

"It's like in a dream, and I have some insomnia. ”

Su Sheng smiled reluctantly and said.

He convinced himself.

What does it have to do with Zhang Pu when he goes to Orange Entertainment, and he doesn't owe Zhang Pu anything. Why should you care about Zhang Pu's feelings?

I signed a contract with "A Chinese Ghost Story" at my previous salary, who owes whom?

Su Sheng persuaded himself, without any guilt, and naturally looked as usual when he spoke.

Zhang Pu didn't notice it, and the two went to the restaurant for breakfast while talking and laughing.

When Jiang Yun, Xiao Xue and others met on the road, everyone was in an extremely good mood.

After eating sooner or later, they are also ready to return home!
