Chapter 231: Movie Night (4/5)
The house magazine score of "The Dark Side" is quite high: 3.1 points, ranking behind "Adele's Life", "Venus in Fur", "Nebraska", "Like Father Like Son"...
It's Hirokazu Kore-eda who does have the ability, "Like Father and Son" is actually a bloody story of holding the wrong child, this thing can be filmed by him without shock, and then it is hidden turbulent!
Like a particularly warm hug...
Lu Xiaoran was really embarrassed, he didn't realize how good "The Dark Side" was...
But the media sought after and said what looked directly at human nature ...
This Nima is just a tragedy caused by not taking the key!
Maybe in the past few years, I'm used to watching a straightforward 'Adele's Sex and Life' film like "Adele's Life", and I think it's quite interesting to express it as implicitly as "The Dark Side"...
Of course, it is inseparable from the strong recommendation of ML2!
Orange Images is an important partner of MK2 in recent years, and Lu Xiaoran will provide about ten films every year...
The quality is not bad!
Anyway, in the past few years, MK2 will pay close to 10 million euros...
It's a fixed income!
You must know that MK2 will deduct its own issuance fee, publicity fee and 10% profit...
Lu Xiaoran is a big customer in the absolute sense for them!
And it is a big customer who can cooperate for a long time.
However, Li An definitely doesn't look down on Lu Xiaoran...
He once said publicly, 'There are no really good films in the mainland yet!'
Hanging explosion!
Therefore, he served as the chairman of the Golden Horse Awards and awarded the award to the Singaporean film "Mom and Dad Didn't Come Home"...
He looked for Lu Xiaoran, mainly to invite him to participate in this year's Golden Horse:
“... Fifty years of Golden Horse, is it a big party in the Chinese film industry, or I hope you can come..."
Lu Xiaoran politely refused: "Forget it, it's not appropriate for me to go!"
"Why isn't it appropriate, you are also a Chinese filmmaker!"
“... I'm afraid of being beaten!"
"Beaten?"
"Professor Zhang Mingqing was beaten to the waist and bruised his waist, an old man with a sixtieth birthday can be attacked, I can't guarantee that I'm okay!"
Li An shut up in embarrassment...
......
Most of the organizers of the cocktail party are film producers, with relatively fixed names, such as: "Chinese Movie Night", "Taiwan Night", "Hong Kong Night", "Huayi Night" and so on.
Orange just made an 'orange night'...
It's not a shame to sell films!
The list is nearly 500 people, including domestic and foreign film businessmen and media, domestic counterparts who come to the red carpet, good personal friends, and official personnel of the film festival.
Chartered a lobby of the Carlton Hotel.
Looks so proud!
can only be regarded as mid-range, Lao Chen's "Wu Ji" has bought a castle in Cannes with a lot of money to sell films!
Among this year's Chinese movies, the most sold are "Di Renjie's Divine Dragon King", "Tai Chi Man", "Fuji Detective"...
"Tai Chi Man" has Keanu Reeves personally went to the Cannes store platform and sold it in more than 30 countries and regions;
"Shendu Dragon King" has sold in 32 countries and regions with just 8 minutes of film...
"Fuji Detective" has been successfully sold to 23 countries and regions around the world, and from the perspective of distribution, Li Lianjie is still very capable of forming a situation of comprehensive coverage in Asia and even distribution in the international region!
Orange mainly promotes "Embroidered Spring Knife" and "Treasure Raiders" this time, as for "Return", "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart", "Dark Side" and the like, they belong to literary films, and MK2 is responsible for copyright trading...
The screening effect of "Embroidered Spring Knife" is not bad, and there are many filmmakers who are interested in buying copyrights.
But what Lu Xiaoran wants is to cover all of Asia - in fact, the most worry-free way to cover all of Asia is to invite Li Lianjie and Cheng Long to star...
Something like Jinyiwei always feels like a specialty of the Ming Dynasty, and outsiders may not understand it.
The reception will be in the form of a buffet.
On the left is a long table, and on the right are several salons, separated by beaded curtains.
Light music was played, soothing and beautiful, the scale of hundreds of people was not crowded or deserted, and waiters walked around the crowd with plates.
At this time, in the salon area, Lu Xiaoran was chatting with several large filmmakers.
"'Brotherhood of Blades', I feel that this film is too unique, not quite like Chinese martial arts!"
"Yes, this one is a costume action movie, and his story is closer to ordinary people. ”
"Chinese costume action films have been depicting the rivers and lakes for a long time, focusing on the concept of 'chivalry', such as "Knife" to show happiness and revenge, or "Seven Swords" to show chivalry and righteousness, or "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to show the love of children. The rivers and lakes and chivalrous people depicted in this kind of costume action movie are often freehand and imaginary worlds. ”
"What "Embroidered Spring Knife" wants to show is a real world..."
"Sorry, Lu, I don't think the North American audience is interested in history!"
"I know, so, we set up a lot of action scenes, and I think North American audiences should be interested in Chinese action movies..."
"I don't think so, in fact, North American audiences prefer movies like 'Heroes'..."
This man's name is Hartings, and behind him is the fourth largest publisher in the United States...
In fact, he just wants to lower the price and buy out the issuance...
Lu Xiaoran chatted with him for a while, then got up to leave.
......
The whole exchange process was only more than half an hour, and the cocktail party had just warmed up.
Lu Xiaoran held the wine glass and glanced at the hall, Tang Tang, Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi and a few models were chatting, probably talking about fashion or something;
Ah Mou was dragged by film festival officials to talk about movies;
The others are either eating, or they are getting together in twos and threes...
It's kind of interesting.
"Director..."
“... Gakki?”
"Let's take a picture!"
“... Great!"
Yui Aragaki immediately put her arms around him and clinged to his side, and then, her assistant took a few photos with her mobile phone.
“... What are you doing here?"
"I want to upload Weibo!"
“... Weibo? Not Twitter?"
"I have 3 million followers in China!"
Yui Aragaki pointed to Weibo on her phone, looking proud...
What's so proud about more than 3 million?
I have 30 million, and I haven't said a word!
"I'm keeping an eye on you..."
“... Thank you!"
After chatting for a while, there was a voice behind him: "Xiaoran!"
Lu Xiaoran turned her head, it was Wen Zhang...
"Wen Zhang... You're here too?"
"I accompanied Mr. Cui to Cannes to sell films!"
"Teacher Cui?"
"Teacher Cui Mingzhu, she is my agent in Hong Kong!"
"Congratulations, you have entered the Hong Kong film industry!"
Wen Zhang waved his hand: "Where, it's far worse than you!"
Damn, this guy is crazy!
The last time we met, Director Han Lu Xiaoran Lu, now I call my name directly!
Of course, from his point of view, it is difficult not to be crazy, "Journey to the West" sold 1.246 billion, he is the absolute male lead, I heard that he signed a three-film contract with Zhou Xingchi;
As a director for the first time, "Little Dad" was bought by four satellite TV stations, and the ratings were good...
Let's put it this way, he is very arrogant now!
It's just that in front of Lu Xiaoran, is it appropriate to be so crazy?
"Let me introduce you, this is Yui Aragaki!"
“... Yui Aragaki ?Japanese actor?
"Yes, she's famous in Japan..."
