At the end of the film screening, there was applause for about five minutes...

As is customary in Cannes, Lao Jia has more popularity in Cannes than ordinary domestic filmmakers!

"A Tale of Twenty-Four Cities", if it is handed over to Yuehua for distribution, how should it be promoted?

It's not easy to do...

Lao Jia's name naturally carries a box office curse, even with a koi body, the box office still stops at 70 million, and the filmmaker's account is only 23.75 million...

Forget it, some filmmakers may really not fit the market.

After thinking about it secretly, Zhang Junsheng got up, congratulated Jia Zhangke with a smile, and then left the screening hall...

Natalie asked, "Zhang, what do you think of this movie?"

Zhang Junsheng replied seriously: "... It's hard to say, I don't really like it anyway!"

"I don't like it either, I can reveal a little secret to you. ”

"What's the secret?"

"In the first round of voting, we passed five films, including "A Tale of Twenty-Four Cities"!"

“… Really? What about Crazy Stone?"

Natalie struggled for a moment, but still told the truth: "Sean Penn, Alfonso Cuarón and I all like it, but Racid Pochala and Jeanne Bariba want to push "Between the Walls"..."

"Between the Walls?"

"It's a French film. ”

"Hehe..."

Zhang Junsheng instantly understood that all film festivals are the same, local protection...

At the door of the hotel, Natalie suddenly thought of something: "... Are you free tomorrow?"

""Tengu" will be released tomorrow, and there will be a drinking party..."

"It's okay, I'll introduce you to someone when the time comes!"

“… Who's so mysterious?"

"Midnight in Barcelona..."

"Woody Allen?"

"No, it's Scarlett Johansson!"

“… Great!"

Is this going to be three skins?

……

Hotel, lobby, window location.

Zhang Junsheng and Lele sat across the table, the waiter brought two cups of coffee, Zhang Junsheng took a sip, the taste was okay, looked at the host, and reminded: "You can start." ”

“OK！”

The photographer has long set up the machine, no makeup, no shading, and the coastline of Cannes is behind him...

"Mr. Zhang..."

"Don't, you still call me Director Zhang, I'm also an artist!"

"Okay, Director Zhang, this year should be your first time participating in the film festival, do you have any special feelings?"

“… I don't have any special feelings, but I feel that holding a large-scale film festival does require a certain amount of appeal, and a mature film festival does need commercial intervention. As far as I know, each Cannes will cost at least 20 million euros, and the French government will only sponsor 2 million to 5 million euros a year, and the rest will depend on the sponsorship of the main committee and the booth of the trading market!"

After a pause, Zhang Junsheng continued: "There is only one A-class film festival in our country, but the political axe is too deeply involved, and it is difficult to establish a real appeal that belongs to itself!"

“…”

Lele was a little speechless, what she wanted to ask was the feeling of "Crazy Stone" being shortlisted for the main competition unit, Zhang Junsheng actually talked about the operation of the film festival...

is really worthy of being a big man, from a high vantage point, and he looks at things differently!

So, let's be straightforward: "What kind of movie do you think Crazy Stone is?"

“… An entertainment commercial film, I don't want to quarrel with those experts who look down on commercial films, just make a commercial film and see if I can win an award, if I win an award, it will definitely be their biggest blow!"

"Would you love to win a prize?"

"Of course, why would I come to Cannes otherwise?"

Zhang Junsheng looked at Lele with an idiotic look...

Can you ask a little bit of a deeper question?

Who doesn't want to win an award in Cannes?

Those who say that being shortlisted is the best reward are either not confident or lying.

"I hope that when foreigners talk about Chinese films, in addition to the fifth and sixth generations, they will also talk about the new generation to the director group!"

"Let's talk about the festival, Sean Penn is the president of the jury this year, how do you feel about him?"

“… No matter how good I feel about him, it's useless, I don't know him at all!"

"And what about Natalie Portman?"

Zhang Junsheng was succinct: "... I admire her as a self-disciplined actress, she is very strong and can talk to each other. ”

"However, the scandal between you and her has been spreading in China for the past few days..."

"Yes? I thought it was only the French paparazzi who was so boring! I can clearly say that I don't have the idea of finding a girlfriend for the time being, and my career is the priority!"

……

"Crazy Stone" will continue to be screened during the Cannes Film Festival, but the number of screenings is extremely limited, except for the opening screening, and in the next ten days, there will be only six screenings.

There will be a second screening tonight.

Tang Ningyu hung up the phone excitedly: "Junsheng, the organizing committee called me just now, and they suggested that we hold four more shows!"

“… Why?"

"The one just now was packed with more than 2,000 spectators, and only a third of them were admitted at the end, so the organizing committee suggested that we increase the number of screenings. ”

Zhang Junsheng frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then said, "Maintain the current scale of screening, and also, find a few trustworthy media to report on the scene and spread it to China!"

Although increasing the number of screenings can ease the mood of Cannes audiences who want to watch movies, there may not be such a grand scene of queuing to enter the venue...

Hunger marketing!

Moreover, the Cannes screening, the share of one is less than 100,000 euros, there is no need to ruin 'the whole people want to watch "Crazy Stone" for such a small amount of money'...

The biggest show of "Crazy Stone" must be in the country!

Mobilize the enthusiasm of domestic audiences...

For him, beating "Red Cliff" head-on is what should be considered now...

The Cannes screening of Hu Zongming's "Red Cliff" has ended, and sure enough, the overseas copyright was only sold for $22 million, and the North American copyright was not sold at all...

Tang Ningyu instantly understood what Zhang Junsheng meant and nodded.

After he finished calling, Zhang Junsheng greeted: "Let's go!"

They're going to a drinking party hosted by A Tale of Twenty-Four Cities...

They are all domestic filmmakers, and it is what they should do to help each other support the scene.

"..."Tale of Twenty-Four Cities" has a low rating in the house magazine, and it is generally believed that the rhythm of this movie is very problematic, and peripheral filmmakers do not dare to offer prices casually, and the copyright sales are not smooth!"

"It's normal, but Lao Jia still has face, and the French box office of "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" is said to have broken the record of Chinese films!"

The two chatted while walking, and Tang Ningyu said the latest news: "Lionsgate wants our global distribution rights!"

“… Does Lionsgate have global distribution capabilities?" questioned Zhang.

“… This, there should be, their "Chainsaw" is not bad at the global box office..."

"That's exporting overseas rights to Fox!"
