Chapter 52: The First Person in Film History (Fourth Update)
"I'm sorry..."
Returning to his seat, Shen Ming smiled apologetically at Todd Phillips, "Your chances of getting the Palme d'Or have become smaller." ”
"It's okay, at least not empty-handed. ”
Todd Phillips replied nonchalantly.
As for whether he really cares or not, no one knows...
North American filmmakers should still have some fantasies about Cannes, otherwise, Quentin would not have exploded his liver for four months and caught the last train to Cannes...
The awards ceremony in Cannes is not as cumbersome and entertaining as the Oscars, and the pace is relatively fast, and soon only the last suspense is left - the ownership of the Palme d'Or.
Most people, including Shen Ming, have focused their attention on the crew of "Parasite"...
So far, the only one who has been invited to the table is the "Parasite" award, and the ownership of the Palme d'Or is self-evident!
Sure enough, Alejandro González Iñárritu opened the envelope and announced: "The belonging of this year's Palme d'Or, Bong Joon-ho, Parasite!"
The audience was suddenly boiling, especially the filmmakers and media in Asia, who were honored for a while.
The reporter crackled all kinds of photos, and he was blinded.
Once Koreans win any international honor, all Koreans will be like crazy, and the whole country will celebrate!
Take a look at "Please Answer 1994", there is an episode of the Japan and South Korea World Cup, the South Korean team entered the semifinals, that scene, the red flag was displayed, and the crowd was crowded...
And this year is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Korean cinema...
Shen Ming also gave a standing ovation.
To be honest, he used to look down on Korean movies, thinking that they were wild places, and Chinese movies were king.
However, the experience in Hollywood in the past few years, coupled with the fact that some domestic works do lack the combination of depth and entertainment...
Just thinking about it makes me feel cold...
Last year's "Thief Family", this year's "Parasite", the three East Asian countries, only China remains...
Lao Jia, give me some strength!
……
"Give me a pet of your baby!"
“?”
"Trophy!"
"Ahem, here you go!"
Shen Ming casually took the actor trophy to Cheng Xiao.
The Cannes trophies are mostly in the form of palms, and so are the actors, the silver palm trophies.
Milk Xiao felt the industrial trophy for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Will you look down on me?"
Shen Ming was still editing Weibo, and replied very casually: "As long as you don't dislike me, I will rely on you for the rest of my life!"
“… Shall we get married?"
"Huh?"
I was unprepared, and the two of them had to go to a drinking party later—a party between award-winning films and big studios from all over the world...
"Don't want to get married, then forget it!"
Cheng Xiao pretended to be nothing, turned his head to look out the window...
“… Are you ready to give me a baby?"
"No, I'm just talking casually. ”
"You just said, don't be laipi!"
"You just don't want to wear a condom!"
“… Nonsense, I like children!"
Seeing the two arguing, they changed their clothes and touched up their makeup in the mirror.
"Let's go!"
"Wait a minute, I'll finish posting Weibo..."
Re-edited it a bit, and then sent: "Thank you, thank you really for your blessings, I'm still working hard, this is not the end..."
I really want to post 'everything is just the beginning', for fear of being reported...
……
It can be said that in the past 20 years, countless Chinese filmmakers have taken the three major exhibitions as their lifelong goals.
It's very simple, from "Red Sorghum" to "Farewell My Concubine", from "City of Sadness" to "In the Mood for Love", the international influence of Chinese films has been picked up little by little by relying on them.
Why did the young woman Yang star in "Baby"?
Could it be that she likes to appear without makeup?
It's because "Baby" has the potential to win international awards!
And it's only a B-grade international award, the three major European film festivals undoubtedly belong to the A grade, and Cannes is the most awesome of them.
Chinese filmmakers, so far, there are no more than ten people who have won European actor awards: Gong Li, Ge You, Xia Yu, Liang Chaowei, Zhang Manyu, Liao Fu, Wang Jingchun, Yongmei and Shen Ming...
Among them, after Man Shen won the double film in Berlin and Cannes, he won "Ruan Lingyu" and "Clean" respectively...
By the way, Gonghuang Manshen has never cooperated, and what they have in common is probably that they crushed Zhang Ziyi in different plays, one is "Hero", and the other is "Memoirs of a Geisha", but at that time, the international chapter had not yet been baptized by "The Grandmaster"...
Now Shen Ming has also completed the Venice and Cannes double actors.
This can be recorded in film history!
It's just a little embarrassing, whether it's "Burst Drummer" or "Joker", it's a foreign language film...
However, he is only 23 years old this year, and the possibilities for the future are endless!
With the current situation of Chinese films, it can definitely support a world-class actor!
……
""Joker" should not pass the review, and there is no regret, I know the approximate scale of this movie when I read the script!"
When I got out of the hotel, I was immediately intercepted by a bunch of reporters...
"Don't attack censorship, I think it's good, at least it gives an excuse to many directors who make bad movies!"
“… And I always think that whether movies are good or not really has little to do with censorship, some people are just not good at making movies, don't listen to those film critics bragging!"
These people directly regard censorship as the biggest obstacle to the progress of films, and then take action themselves, "The Dangerous Road to Treasure from the Broken Piece"...
Just that broken film, give you a relaxed scale, what can you shoot?
One by one, there are eloquent words: I didn't show all my strength because of the censorship!
The reporter then asked: "Who do you want to thank for your friends in China in the first place?"
"There are too many, the first ones to thank should be Brother Huang Lei, Brother Huang Bo and Brother Sun Honglei, when I was hesitant to take "Joker", they gave me a lot of advice. ”
"Do you have any plans for the future? will you go to Hollywood or stay in China?"
"I have several film contracts in hand, and I shouldn't be going to Hollywood for the time being..."
After a brief chat, under the protection of the security personnel, Shen Ming and Cheng Xiao finally walked into the hotel lobby.
At this time, the hall was already crowded with people.
"Congratulations, Shen!"
A middle-aged man whose name Shen Ming couldn't name came over and said with a smile: "I watched "Joker", it is incomparable. ”
"Thank you!"
Dante reminded in a whisper: "The head of DCM, Tom Linya. Top 3 publishers in the UK!"
"Thank you for the compliment, I think it's incredible!"
It is said that since the dinner party, he has been like a robot, constantly responding to those messy greetings and temptations.
From EMI to Europa, from Constantine to Gaumon, all the powerful production companies in Europe know everything.
The purpose, of course, is to sell films!
"Joker" doesn't have to worry about him, Warner Bros. has distribution points all over the world, but Minghui's own works, especially "Flag Guard"...
The egg hurts, and I knew that I would have brought "Flag Guard" over for screening-I didn't finish the post-production.
So far, the best-selling is "Nezha", which has sold the copyrights of more than 30 countries, "Sherlock on the Plains" and "Five Boys Splashing in the Water" have also sold more than 20 countries, "Flag Protection" is too localized, and "The Youth and the Sea" has never been sold, and the movie has also sold the copyrights of 18 countries and regions!
As for Zhang Ziyi's blessing of "Time and Space Traveler", it has been decided to hand over to Warner Bros. for distribution, why not choose Universal - you can't put all your eggs in the same basket.
