"What's wrong?" Anxi hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

The phone just now is not speakerphone, Lao Chen's voice is not small, and the people around him may have listened to it half-mouthed, and it is difficult to listen to it all.

Turning his head to look at the others, sure enough, one of them was in a curious baby's state.

In these years, Chen Kaige's fame is still somewhat useful.

Nor does anyone have the courage and ability to despise or even ignore him.

I think that in a certain show in the future, Lao Chen's son Feiyu will participate in the show, and Huang Xiaochu has been caring for Lao Chen, which illustrates this.

That was 2019.

"Director Kaige asked me to go to Cannes, as if I might win an award. Gu Jun said that Chen Kaige's hand slipped.

Others don't know, but Anxi, who participated in the whole process of script creation, does.

Where is this slippery hand, this is definitely intentional.

The purpose is simple and clear, for a rookie like Gu Jun who has nothing to lose, this matter has all the benefits and no harm.

But Lao Chen didn't speak until he came to the door, and what kind of trouble was there: "What is Lao Chen making trouble, now it's only five or six days before the award ceremony, how can he get a visa." ”

"The visa is easy to say, I went to school in Deguo, and I happen to have a visa for Faguo. "Gu Jun has sorted out all the relevant things around the original owner.

This includes family members' names, ID cards, visas, and so on.

I even went to the bank to change all the passwords to those I was familiar with.

Although there is no money in it.

"Then the question is to take a leave of absence, right? I think you'd better go there. Anxi, who touched his chin, groaned.

Gu Jun, who crossed his hands, muttered: "I must go, I heard that the Cannes Organizing Committee has a support plan for new directors every year, I have to go and see it."

Besides, Lao Chen is a great director for many years, and he doesn't have any equipment at home, if he wins the award, watch me beg (knock) and beg (bamboo) him (bar).

Asking for leave shouldn't be a big problem. Tomorrow the crew will go to Qingdao to shoot. I didn't have my role in the early stage. I'll go talk to Director Kong. ”

Gu Jun got up and was about to go to find Kong Sheng, and as soon as he put his hand on the door, he heard a knock on the door.

Directly opened the door, and saw Kong Molong's hand knocking on the door still falling, "Damn, you stand behind the door and wait to scare me, are you boring or not." Let's go, go down and eat. ”

Wu Xiguo, who was in the house, looked at Kong Sheng, who was standing outside the door and was communicating with others, and greeted him directly: "Old Kong." ”

Maybe the tone of the voice was raised, and Kong Sheng, who was communicating with others, was frightened.

"Huh?"

Kong Sheng, who was interrupted, followed the voice and looked at Wu Xiguo in the room with a malicious smile on his face. reminds me of the twists and turns when Gu Jun auditioned.

Leave the next sentence "" and run away.

As soon as I started, I remembered that this was my own territory, and if I wanted to run, I had to be run by others.

Gu Jun didn't tell Wu Xiguo about the audition at that time, because Wu Xiguo was blinded.

He walked out the door and asked, "What are you running for?"

"I'm looking for something to smoke you. Let your old thing pit me. Eat together in the evening. Let's have a good fight. ”

Wu Xiguo, who nodded to Gu Jun, grabbed Kong Sheng's arm: "It's just right, I have something to do with you." ”

Gu Jun knew that it seemed that he didn't have to come forward himself, and Wu Xiguo should be able to deal with Kong Sheng.

After all, when he first auditioned, Kong Sheng... It's not very authentic.

——————

The three international film festivals of Cannes, Berlin and Venice are known as the three major international film festivals in Europe.

With the Oscars of Meiguo, it is known as one of the four major film festivals in the world.

But this statement is not very accurate, in terms of influence, the Oscars are undoubtedly the first echelon, and the three major European ones are the second echelon.

Further down is the Magic City International Film Festival, an international A-category film festival.

Further down are the domestic awards such as the Golden Rooster, the Golden Horse, and the Golden Statue.

Because of some reasons in the special era, domestic fifth-generation directors such as Lao Mouzi and Chen Kaige have the opportunity to contact foreign film festivals.

It should be said here that the fifth generation generally refers to young directors who graduated from Nortel in the 80s, the fourth generation is directors in the 60s, and the sixth generation is directors from the 80s to the early 90s.

There is no seventh-generation director, so I thought that a cat and a dog would be able to be a director by then.

Xiao Gangpao's age is the same generation as Lao Mouzi, but he is not a Nortel graduate, so he is not a fifth-generation director.

For Chinese filmmakers who bring Chinese film culture to the world, the foreign film and television industry is novel, and this period of time is almost the most glorious moment for the fifth and sixth generation of directors in China.

In such a long period of decades, the Palme d'Or, the highest award in Cannes, was won by Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine".

The Golden Bear, the highest award at the Berlin Film Festival, was Lao Mouzi's "Red Sorghum" in 1988.

In 1993, Li Press's "The Wedding Banquet" and Xie Fei's "Fragrant Soul Girl".

Li Press's "Sense and Sensibility" in 1996, and Wang Quanan's "Tuya's Marriage" in 2007

The Golden Lion, the highest award at the Venice Film Festival, was Hou Hsiao-hsien's "City of Sadness" in 1989 and Lao Mouzi's "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" in 1992.

Cai Mingliang's "Long Live Love" in 1994, Lao Mouzi's "No One is Missing" in 1999, Li Press's "Brokeback Mountain" in 2005, Section Chief Jia's "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" in 2006, and Li Press's "Lust Caution" in 2007.

The characteristics of these three major film festivals can also be seen from the number of awards won by Chinese directors.

The standards of the Venice Film Festival, which has won the most awards, do not require so much perfection in the film.

The Venice International Film Festival focuses more on film experimenters from all over the world, encouraging them to shoot films with novel forms and unique techniques, even if there are some flaws, as long as they are innovative, they can be accepted by the festival.

The Berlinale positions itself as a mirror of international film production, and at the same time takes into account strong political issues in the selection of films. Therapeutic factors.

As the highest award of the international film festival, the Cannes International Film Festival has nothing to do with politics, but only discusses the artistry of the film itself.

In general, the Venice International Film Festival is often the cradle of new film masters, and the Cannes Film Festival represents the crowning artistic achievement of a director's life.

As a product of the Cold War era, the Berlin Film Festival is a product of the political era. Zhizheng often debuts on an important stage in the international arena as a late-onset or late-developing modernity national director.

As the only Chinese director to take away a Palme d'Or from Cannes, Chen Kaige is very familiar with Cannes.

This familiarity is not cultivated by a "Farewell My Concubine", but accumulated over time.

Chen Kaige's "The Child King", "Singing While Walking", "Fengyue" and "Jing Ke Assassinating the King of Qin" have also been shortlisted for the Palme d'Or.

This is also the reason why he once again co-starred with new films to hit Cannes.

The last time I participated in the Cannes Film Festival was in 1999, and it has been thirteen years since then.

This is an adventure for Chen Kaige. In particular, the domestic media has always had a bearish attitude towards him.

In recent years, criticizing Chen Kaige has almost become a kind of politics... Treat it right.
