As one of the three major film festivals in Europe, Cannes' status in the hearts of filmmakers around the world and its popularity need not be overstated.

Speaking of this year's edition alone, no Chinese films were shortlisted for the main competition unit. However, there are more than 400 executives of Chinese film companies who come to sell films, a record high. Many new films have come to Cannes to expand overseas markets, and it has become a "supermarket" for Chinese filmmakers.

The executives of film and television companies are generally unfamiliar to the general public, and the actresses who are talked about are generally in attendance. Cannes regular Fan Baibai, who was absent this year because of his participation in the "X-Men" global promotional event, did not arrive.

The slightly famous domestic actresses who are currently in Cannes are Zhang Liangying and Jin Qiaoqiao. The former will attend as a singer and will sing the theme song of "Dragon Nest". The latter is the proprietress of Bona, who was present with Yu Dong.

On the evening of May 15, local time, the Chinese Movie Night hosted by the Movie Channel Program Center was held on the beach of the Majestic Hotel in Cannes, and the opening fireworks were spectacular.

Lu Lin, Gao Hongze, Zhang Yishan and others appeared at the scene in casual clothes and wandered around. Not long after meeting Yu Dong, who was present with his wife, Lu Lin smiled and said, "You came here early!"

Yu Dong stepped forward and hugged Lu Lin, patted the latter on the back, and said with a smile: "Of course you have to be active when you come to sell films!"

Lu Lin smiled: "Yes!" He came over this time, just to use the platform of Cannes to promote "The Heroic Company" and expand its influence in Europe.

The two talked while walking, and listened to Yu Dong say: "I heard that Zhang Yimu's "Return" was not shortlisted for the main competition unit?"

Lu Lin said: "Yes, like "Male Soldier Company", they all participate in non-competition screenings. ”

At a film festival like Cannes, my favorite is the film about "human nature". It is normal for a popcorn blockbuster like "Company of Soldiers" not to be shortlisted for the main competition unit, and it is strange to be shortlisted! But Lao Muzi's "Return" should be a big talk on the topic of human nature, and it is too strange that it was not shortlisted.

According to the boss of Lux, Cannes has an unwritten rule that the films in the main competition must have their world premieres at the festival. But they don't want to modify the schedule, they want the domestic audience to see it first, and this reason is really "touching" and powerful!

Yu Dong said with a smile: "Non-competition screening, you two are going to fight in the ring at the film festival!"

Lu Lin laughed: "It's not a fight, he is a literary film, and I am a commercial film." In terms of box office or popularity, that's me bullying him. Let's talk about winning awards, neither of us was shortlisted, and there is nothing to fight for, but we are just doing our own publicity! By the way, how is your "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" selling?"

Yu Dong smiled: "It's not bad, I have recovered a lot of investment." By the way, this movie and your "Nuwa Mending the Sky" are both scheduled for the New Year, and when the time comes, let's study and study it together!"

Lu Lin smiled, "Of course, we must not kill each other!"

The two were talking, and they saw Wu Baige coming over with his daughter. He first shook hands with Yu Dong, and then shook hands with Lu Lin and greeted: "I heard that there is a great young director in China, but when I see it today, I am younger than I imagined!"

Lu Lin smiled slightly, "Director Wu is also more energetic than I imagined!"

The two of them have nothing to talk about, their age, background, thoughts, and style, there are too many differences. Wu Baige was a good director, and "The True Color of Heroes" is indeed inspiring, but his time has long passed. If you can't keep up with the trend and don't retreat, you will only lose the night.

A "Wind Whisperer", MGM finally went bankrupt. After Hollywood couldn't get along and returned to China, the reputation of "Red Cliff" was a mess, and "Taiping Wheel" suffered a huge loss. Speaking of the New Year's stalls at the end of the year, there is his "Taiping Wheel"!

Wu Baige is very interested in Lu Lin, the king of Chinese film business, because he can't feel the pulse of the market anymore, and he doesn't understand why Lu Lin can make a film and make a profit.

""League of Legends: Company of Heroes" will be screened on the 18th, if Director Wu is free, you might as well go over and take a look!" Lu Lin was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he invited directly.

Wu Baige smiled quite honestly, and said, "Oh, okay, I will definitely go that day!"

Separated from Yu Dong and Wu Baige, Lu Lin, Gao Hongze and Zhang Yishan went to the beach blindly. Zhang Yishan was the most excited, especially when he saw some beautiful swimsuit women greeting him and squeezing his eyebrows.

Gao Hongze said: "Don't be foolish with this, many of them here are peripherals!"

Zhang Yishan was surprised, "Is there a periphery here?"

Gao Hongze said with a smile: "Little friend, you don't understand this! Those who come here are either rich or expensive, either big stars or big directors." Some want to make money, some want to climb high branches, and some may just want to steal a sum from you!"

Zhang Yishan was much more honest in an instant, and even Lu Lin was relieved, and said secretly: "I knew that I should have brought a girl over, and I went to the beach with the two old men, it was really a bad scenery!"

For the next two days, Lu Lin took it with him in the hotel and did not go out to participate in the event. All kinds of screenings and promotions are busy with Gao Hongze, Zhang Yishan and the accompanying assistants and staff.

said that on the 18th, it was the turn of "The Male Company" to be screened. There are a total of four films scheduled for today, "The Messenger", "Miracle", "His and Her Lonely Affair" and "The Soldier Company".

Because the other three are low-cost and literary films, the organizers gave "Male Soldier Company" a large theater that can seat 2,000 people. Although I don't recognize the value of art, I may feel that I don't have it at all. But in terms of popularity with ordinary audiences, the organizers' judgment is still very correct. They also don't want to adjust the theater halfway, which will only be more troublesome.

Early in the morning, many student-like people arrived early, and the theater of 2,000 people was quickly filled. Among these people, there are Chinese students in France, as well as local French students and students from other countries, almost without exception, who come to the name of "League of Legends". And a lot of students who failed to buy tickets for the first movie are complaining to each other!

"Damn, I said I wanted to come early, you're grinding over there!" a Chinese boy complained in the long ticket line.

The little Chinese fat man who was with him yawned and said, "Besides, it's not that you pulled me last night, opening black plate after plate, and I couldn't sleep enough for eight hours." I'll tell you that if I don't sleep enough for eight hours at night, I'll be sleepy during the day!"

The boy was a little irritable, "How long does this have to be scheduled, it's so hard to watch a movie, and I don't want to say that it will be released early!"

The little fat man squinted his eyes and said, "Oh, I'm very happy to be able to shoot it!"

A black buddy behind him said in French: "Indeed, I heard that this kind of live-action movie is very difficult to make." Fortunately, there is that director of the deer, it's really great, our "Black King Kong team" is going to come over today to cheer for Director Deer!"

The little fat man squinted his eyes and said, "Which district are you, why don't you wait to find a place to make a plate?"

"Noxus, what about you?"

"Demacia!"
