Lionsgate is very interested in the Chinese market, and uh, I should say that the Big Six Hollywood have tried to meddle in the domestic film market.

As early as 1995, Colombia set up a representative office in Beijing, and invested in "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Big Names"...

Then, "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" ended up with $6 million at the global box office, which should have lost $17 million based on the announced $20 million investment.

It was the highest loss of Chinese films that year.

It is said that after the Columbia company saw the movie, it wailed and announced the dismissal of director He Ping.

Then there was no plan to release this movie at all, and in 04, after the success of "Hero" in the United States, Columbia hurriedly took it out and released it in the United States, but in the end the box office was only $80,000...

Since then, Colombia no longer dares to invest heavily in Chinese-language films...

Warner directly established a joint venture with China Film and Hengdian to establish China Film Warner Hengdian Film and Television Co., Ltd., and invested in "Jade Warrior", "Veil", "1421", "Vote for Fame"...

None of them made money, and finally realized the horror of the mainland market, learned from Colombia, and no longer did the wrongs!

Lionsgate has taken on the role of the new wrongdoer!

The investors of "The King of Kung Fu" are Lionsgate and Dongyang Media, and the production cost is more than 70 million US dollars, which is really bold!

However, Lionsgate has not established a global distribution channel, and the global distribution of "Crazy Stone" it says is impossible to talk about, probably because it wants to be a second-class dealer!

……

On the third day of Cannes, the premiere of "Tengu"...

The story of "Tengu" is very simple, and it can be told clearly in one sentence: the disabled veteran Li Tiangu and the entire village, especially the rural underworld forces, around the "war" of cutting down and protecting the country's forests, and finally Li Tiangu defended the law with his body, defended the country's property, and adhered to justice...

A return to the cinematic technique of realism!

Comparatively, the propaganda apparatus has much more control over the film, because the effect of the film on the population is much greater.

In contrast, the standard for a public film is: not too many people died.

For example, "Alive" has fewer deaths than Yu Hua's "Alive";

"Tengu" has two fewer deaths than "The Murderer";

Except, of course, war films such as "Three Great Battles".

There is also an invisible rule that the scolding officials cannot be too big.

Uncle Benshirt once said that CCTV sketches can only scold the township chief at most.

It is estimated that the movie is also this standard.

"Murderers", whether it is the township head, the deputy secretary of the county party committee, the deputy county magistrate, the director of the county public security bureau, and the director of the county forestry bureau, are all the benefits of the village tyrant after reselling the woods, they deliberately obstructed the local police station to investigate the truth when investigating the case, appeased the noisy wife of Li Tiangu, the gourd monk judged the gourd case, and finally Li Tiangu was judged by the "law" as a "murderer" and died unjustly and sadly in the hospital. Leaving behind the old director of the township police station, who is also a demobilized soldier, is ready to go to the Provincial Public Security Department to avenge Li Tiangu's grievances...

Is it possible to shoot like this?

"Tengu" must get the dragon mark!

Otherwise, Qi Jianlai will be disobedient to participate in Cannes - it is clearly stipulated that all films participating in the film festival must get a public screening permit!

Therefore, the whole village is like a paradise, and there is no official above the township chief to intervene;

Also, in the end, although Li Tiangu died, two reporters were set up, and they reported the whole thing, and then, Li Tiangu died as he deserved...

Although it failed to show 100% of the original work, the sincerity, faith, perseverance, fierceness, and anger in the movie are about to overflow!

On the big screen, Wang Bo dragged his seriously injured body and climbed to the Kong family's mansion step by step, at this time, Li Tiangu was not Jesus who was hung on the cross, he was going to kill people, no one could tell right from wrong, he was just for his own justice and right and wrong.

Ambush, set up guns, aimed, and roared from the chest socket: "You dog bastard, get out of here!"

This momentum, the long-suppressed pleasure made the entire screening hall burst into applause...

Zhang Junsheng applauded and whispered to Tang Ningyu: "... This one shot, Bo Ge is definitely qualified to win the best actor!"

“… Well, indeed. ”

Tang Ningyu is also a little excited, a good movie and a good actor can make the audience empathize.

"Tengu should sell very well, give you a task, $5 million in overseas copyrights, is there a problem?"

"All right!"

……

Zhang Junsheng expected that night's cocktail party, there were many figures around Tang Ningyu, not only European filmmakers, but also South American and African filmmakers...

As a rough estimate, at least more than $8 million could be credited!

If Tengu wins one or two awards, the price will go up.

Director Qi Jian's book can be regarded as famous and known all over the world!

However, Director Qi is a director in the system, and "Tiangu" is already his pinnacle work, and the reason why it can be filmed like now is that Yuehua's screenwriting team has given great help.

If you want to surpass it, it's hard!

Don't feel ashamed to sell films in Cannes, originally, the reason why everyone gathers in Cannes is that in addition to movies, it is a deal!

"Zhang!"

Natalie came over with a girl in her arms: "This is Scarlett!"

“… Hello, I'm Zhang Junsheng!"

Zhang Junsheng glanced at Scarlett, and his eyes quickly skipped the big murderer...

Confirmed, at least D, ding, congratulations on finding the perfect turret...

It's up to you, Scarlett!

Natalie came over and grabbed his arm, showing that the relationship between the two was not simple, probably because... Flaunt?

Glancing at her slightly, it was obvious that she had been carefully dressed, a black short skirt dress, collarbones... Brute waist, chest... Skip it,

Her legs are straight and smooth, though.

Of course, the strength wrapped around the waist is very strong, and it is worthy of being the master of regular exercise!

Scarlett seemed a little surprised, and opened her mouth slightly: "You are..."

The lips are seductive, and they open slightly enough to shog a thing...

"It's not that relationship yet, but I appreciate him!"

Natalie introduced with a little pride...

"Congratulations, Natalie, Chang is the most talented young director I've ever met!"

Scarlett looked at Zhang Junsheng with a little jealousy...

it, why do you feel this way?

Could it be that these two girls have some unknown past?

After chatting with the two girls for a while, Natalie suddenly leaned into Zhang Junsheng's ear and said, "Scarlett wants to try your skills!"

"Walter?"

The Son of the Plane was a little confused, did he hear him right?

“… I told her you're amazing..."

"So?"

"She doesn't believe it!"

Zhang Junsheng swallowed his saliva, are Hollywood female stars so truth-seeking?

Does Natalie recognize Anne Hathaway, Emma Roberts, Megan Fox?

Zhang Junsheng raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to come along?"

"As long as you don't mind!"

Natalie doesn't show any weakness...

Zhang Junsheng really wanted to say, of course I don't mind, the more the merrier, he wants to fight ten!

Then I thought, this is a game, right?

Definitely yes, how can a woman be so generous?

So, he looked at Natalie very affectionately: "It's enough for me to have you!"
