Chapter 230: The Great Director (3/5)
The three major Asian countries, China, Japan and South Korea, each country has its own filmmakers.
Naomi Kawase and Hirokazu Kore-eda are the two most international directors in the Japanese film industry, and they are both descendants of Cannes - Takeshi Kitano is not, Takeshi Kitano is a descendant of Venice, and his firm, Marc Muller, has an investment...
Therefore, Zhang Weipin said that "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" took the Golden Lion because of Mark Muller's investment, although it is not accurate, but it is indeed an investment, and the investor of "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" is Takeshi Kitano Firm...
Naomi Kawase is the kind of director who puts a lot of effort into making small movies.
Her works always reveal a fresh and elegant, quiet and graceful feminine atmosphere, the content mostly discusses life and death, existing problems, and focuses on creating a sense of fantasy and experimentation in color and photography...
No story...
But her films always make it to Cannes...
This is a big temptation for Aragaki Yui.
......
You may not believe it, but in fact, Cannes attaches great importance to the Chinese-speaking market, you must know that the official website only has four languages: French, English, Chinese, Spanish...
No German, no Italian, no Japanese!
After all, it is the second largest film market.
If you've been to Cannes, you know that the only thing that can compete with Hollywood super blockbusters outside the Palais is Chinese Television!
The poster is a thief, a thief, and Hollywood can't even do it with the advertising on the front page of the house magazine.
Rich!
That's really rich!
Which movie is the biggest poster, guess what?
That's right, it's "New Police Story" - Brother Cheng Long occupies the C position!
In fact, in the past few days, Boss Lu has relaxed himself as much as possible, and looking at Lu Xiaoran's life, it can actually be summed up in one word: tired!
As a man with an assistive device, he knows that the Chinese film market is about to win a huge outlet.
Of course, you have to do something about it at this time!
So, I kept busy and busy, trying to catch up with such a major outlet, bring oranges on the right track, and at the same time hope to be able to drive the entire film industry in China...
But living like this is really no fun!
Not to mention high-level things such as skinny horses and golf, at least you should cultivate some love!
Even the matter of raising a dog, he was too late to send it back to his hometown...
Sometimes, in retrospect, what's the point of living like this?
But he also knew that once he returned to China, he would not be so idle...
......
Spielberg didn't come, presumably to avoid suspicion...
However, Lee Saddle is here, as well as Christian Mongi, Nicole Kidman, Naomi Kawase...
Li An mainly chatted with Ah Mou.
The content is probably:
Thank you Brother Amou for your appreciation-two of Ang Lee's four top three awards were won by Amou.
No kidding.
The judge of "The Wedding Banquet" was Ah Mou, and Xie Fei's "Fragrant Soul Girl" and Li An's "The Wedding Banquet" were both Golden Bear favorites at that time, and they were unable to hold each other in the jury voting.
It was Ah Mou who proposed to make the two films tied for the Golden Bear...
In the end, Li An's "The Wedding Banquet" and Xie Fei's "Fragrant Soul Girl" became a pair of yolks and won the Golden Bear Award, the highest award at the Berlin International Film Festival!
"Lust and Caution" won the Venice Golden Lion, and the chairman of the jury was Ah Mou, at that time, the media was still full of rumors that there was a lot of controversy within the jury, and Ah Mou overrode public opinion and gave the golden lion to "Lust and Caution"...
At the press conference afterwards, Li An's first sentence was, 'Thank you, Director Zhang Yimou!'
Aragaki Yui got her wish and talked to Naomi Kawase.
Lu Xiaoran is chatting with Nicole Kidman, she likes "The Dark Side" very much...
It is very likely that there is also a reason why "Latent" is a big hit in North America...
"Latent" cost $3 million and won $26 million at the box office in its opening weekend...
The industry predicts that it will be able to get at least $60 million at the box office, and at the same time, more than 100 countries and regions around the world will be launched...
Wen Ziren is awesome!
However, these are just Lu Xiaoran's speculations, no matter how Nicole Kidman is, Tom Cruise can hype up, so that he will not have the idea of playing a horror movie.
While chatting, Christian Monji walked over, and Lu Xiaoran hurriedly picked up the wine glass and touched it with him...
Christian Mongi is a very interesting director.
The Romanian director, who won the Palme d'Or, is the quintessential Cannes filmmaker!
Just mess around with Cannes, never go to Venice or Berlin...
And this person is very measured, and he never complains that his works can't be sold...
He has been to China and served as a film judge at the Shanghai Film Festival, and he is very envious of the Chinese film environment...
"Romania has a population of about 18 million, and 95% of the box office of 10 million, for example, is made by Hollywood movies. In fact, we lost the film market twenty years ago, and now there will not be too many Romanian films on the Romanian market that sell well. Romania is different from neighboring Poland, where genre films can be made because there are enough audiences. Many of their genre films are still very popular in Romania. ”
“... Or is it because the market is big enough!"
"Yes, so you can establish a star system, we can't do it, few people watch Romanian movies!"
Lu Xiaoran nodded, and then said: "Actually, movies like "Three Weeks and Two Days in April" and "Beyond the Mountain" should also have audiences willing to watch them in China. ”
"Really?"
"China has a population of 1.4 billion, of which more than 700 million are interested in films, and many of them are interested in overseas literary and feature films, if you have ideas, you can authorize us, we have nearly 100 cinemas in China, you can show them and try it. ”
"Well, I'll seriously consider it. ”
Well, that's Chiguo's bribe...
"Beyond the Mountain" and "Three Weeks and Two Days in April" are all works of Christian Mongi, and the copyright belongs to him at night, and the so-called authorization, of course, has to charge a licensing fee...
Of course, you can also understand it as a communication in the film...
......
Those who can be shortlisted for Cannes are basically considered author's films, and author's films are literary films.
In a sense, the reason for the decline of French cinema is the good work done by the New Wave - desperately advocating literary films!
In 1957, Bazin directly stated in the Handbook of Cinema that the so-called authorship theory is nothing more than the application of a theory that is widely recognized in other arts to film. It has directly established a number of "author films" and directly expanded its own team.
Truffaut and Godard waved their flags and shouted, and suddenly attracted a group of filmmakers, all of whom were full of spirits and began the road of free creation, each of them like fighters, setting off the "New Wave" movement in the history of cinema.
And then the French films, completely crushed by Hollywood...
Literary films and commercial films are originally the two ends of the flat shoulder.
Hollywood is not without independent literary films, but it is ultimately those commercial blockbusters that are relied on to conquer the city.
Touting a certain type of movie alone is a reflection of the immaturity of the film market.
For the cultural industry of a region or country, obscure elite literature cannot resist the invasion of foreign popular culture!
If we think back to our four famous works, we should understand that the influence of popular literature will obviously be greater, otherwise why are the four famous works not the Book of Changes?
Over there, Director Li Anda and Ah Mou were almost talking, and then walked over: "Director Lu!"
“... Hello, Director Lee. ”
Of course, Lu Xiaoran was flattered...
"I watched 'The Dark Side'... Are you interested in exploring human nature right now?"
“... No, this is a script I wrote a few years ago, and I thought it was very interesting, so I took it out and filmed it. ”
"A curious story that kills a cat?"
"Yes, because I didn't have much money at the time, all I thought about was how to save money and how to write..."
Li An nodded: "The creativity when you are poor is really amazing!"
“... Hehe. ”
Lu Xiaoran was a little strange, why did Li An look for him...
