"I've watched "Crazy Stone" twice, did you set up four clues in advance and then put them together?"

"Yes. ”

"Oh my God, how did you come up with that?"

"A lot of things can make characters appear or disappear as the narrative requires, but the director never does that? ”

Forget it, she is a talented girl in Hollywood, there is no need to give her arms to an Asian director, let's talk about movies.

"In fact, I learned a lot of director's techniques, the first shot, three angles of a crash, described from the perspective of three groups of people, and finally focused on them. In Kubrick's "The Killer", George is ready to shoot after hearing the radio, and regresses four times, from the perspective of four people, time freezes, instantaneously and emerges, entering the level of spatial narrative, expanding and extending the capacity of time. Separately describing the actions at that time cross-section, the real world is synchronic, and the story can only be told in traditional linearity, which breaks through the barrier of storytelling!"

“… So, what do you like Kubrick?"

"Of course, I know all the works of the film masters!"

“… It's no wonder that after filming "A Chinese Ghost Story", you can also shoot "Crazy Stone"!"

Natalie Portman nodded: "... Multiple main lines go hand in hand at the same time, complex but not cumbersome, seemingly unrelated but closely connected, the story is compact, the rhythm is bright, you will become a master of the movie!"

“… Hehe. ”

With the identity of a master, you want whoever you love, anyway, Zhang Junsheng is not interested.

In fact, this year's Cannes is full of masters.

Matteo Galloni with his "Gomorrah", Nuri Bigg Ceylon with "The Three Monkeys" and, of course, Steven Soderbergh's "Che Guevara"!

French director Lauren Gonté's "Classroom Storm" is also an award-winning favorite...

No way, it's been twenty years since French cinema won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, it's time to go back!

……

Li Mingze has seen the world, and he knows that foreigners hate Chinese-style drinking parties.

The so-called Chinese-style cocktail party is: the host announces the start, the leader and the creator speak, and then the host announces the free time, so the reporter is busy interviewing, the main creator is busy being photographed, and the leader is busy talking about business with the partner...

I don't understand why there must be time for leaders to speak...

Foreigners hold a cocktail party, just playing, a group of people walking around with champagne, chatting casually, even if there is business, it will not be put on the surface.

Huayang takes the form of self-service, and the whole hall is separated by a long table on the left and several salons on the right.

The scene was played with melodious light music, soothing and beautiful, there were many participants, but it was not crowded, and the waiters walked around the crowd with plates.

Zhang Junsheng walked up to Hu Zongming with a cup: "Director Hu, hello! I have wanted to visit you for a long time, but unfortunately I have never had the opportunity!"

After all, they are all Chinese filmmakers, whether the other party admits it or not, Zhang Junsheng is recognized anyway!

The issue of "one country, two systems" and sovereignty cannot be ambiguous!

"You're welcome. Hu Zongming smiled: "I have watched your "A Chinese Ghost Story", and it was very well filmed. I've been looking forward to meeting you, but unfortunately I didn't get a chance!"

"Haha, it's far worse than you!"

"I won't accompany you, there are still filmmakers over there..."

"You're busy, you're the protagonist tonight!"

Hu Zongming is indeed the protagonist.

After a drinking party, the overseas rights of "Red Cliff" have been sold for nearly 20 million US dollars...

However, far from the $120 million investment, North America is the largest market, and Li Mingze is negotiating North American rights with Harvey.

According to Tang Ningyu, Harvey was only willing to offer $6 million, not a dime, and the advance payment was only 600,000...

Tsk, Harvey couldn't have imagined it, let alone 6 million, even 600,000 to buy "Red Cliff" is a huge loss!

……

At half past nine in the evening, Zhang Junsheng and Tang Ningyu left the reception.

The overseas copyright of "Red Cliff" can be sold for up to 30 million US dollars, which is already Hu Zongming's overdraft of his reputation.

Of course, he has always held the copyright of South Korea and Japan in his hands, and the theme of the Three Kingdoms, whether "Red Cliff" can be profitable mainly depends on the performance of the Japanese and Korean markets!

North America...

Hu Zongming is not a fool, the two movies "Wind Whisperer" and "Memory Rift" failed at the box office, and his so-called North American recognition is almost zero...

Because of these two films, Hu Zongming was directly on the blacklist of many Hollywood companies...

That's why he will return to China for development.

Walking along the Corniche, the promenade is wide and tidy, with a sandy bay on one side and an elegant hotel on the other, the buildings of the hotel range from ancient buildings of the last century to very modern buildings, and the green belt in the middle of the street, where flowers bloom all year round, and palm trees that are vibrant in the sun add an element of charm to the town.

Every year during the Cannes Film Festival, the Corniche is full of celebrities and of course paparazzi reporters.

However, Zhang Junsheng's current low popularity in France is pitiful, although "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released in France last year and also won 4 million euros at the box office, but Zhang Junsheng is the director...

Except for a very small number of fans, no one cares about the director of a foreign film!

lit a cigarette and looked at the lively crowd on the beach not far away, Zhang Junsheng smiled...

In fact, for many 'literary and artistic youths', they come to Cannes on the grounds of worshipping the temple of cinema, but what they actually do is to bubble everywhere...

I suddenly remembered that a philosopher said: As long as a man has a big body, he is not afraid of the loneliness of the journey!

"Hey, Zhang, you're here too?"

Zhang Junsheng turned his head, and it was a pair of brown eyes...

Natalie Portman...

"Natalie, don't you have to watch the movie?"

Cannes judges so laid-back?

I remember Gong Li said that when she was a judge, she spent her time watching films every day, and she couldn't squeeze out time to eat...

“… The film has been almost watched, and there will be a preliminary vote the day after tomorrow, and a final vote. ”

After a brief introduction to the process, Natalie Portman invited with a smile: "There are a lot of local delicacies on Menadier Street over there, do you want to eat some?"

“… Aren't you a vegetarian?"

"Vegetarianism is not about skipping meals!"

That's right, Bajie is also a vegetarian, and I haven't seen him lose weight at all, probably because he is easy to gain weight!

……

Menadier Street.

In Cannes, a narrow old pedestrian street, between the new town and the old town, is flanked by small and sophisticated shops selling some local products and food that are characteristic of the south of France.

Of course, there are also some local fly restaurants, oh, and they call them specialities!

Two strangers in this place, there is really a feeling of being alone in a foreign land as strangers, especially Zhang Junsheng doesn't know French...

Basically, Natalie was introducing, and Zhang Junsheng nodded.

They didn't know that there were at least three paparazzi behind them...

The tracking level of foreigners is very high!

In other words, Zhang Junsheng was obsessed with women, and he didn't turn on the detection function at all...

In short, when he woke up the next day, Zhang Junsheng was famous...
