Needless to say, "Farewell My Concubine" is a thoroughly art film.

The expectation of everyone, including Ye Shumei and Zhou Kang, is that it does not lose money in the domestic market.

As for overseas releases, I can look forward to it!

Because Peking Opera is regarded as the quintessence of China, and describing decades of history through Peking Opera is more in line with the appetite of that group of foreign people.

Although it tells the story between two men, it is more about human nature.

It has a great chance to become the Chinese version of "Gone with the Wind"!

If it can really be unveiled in Cannes, it will obviously have a huge impact on overseas promotion.

This year's festival will open on May 8 and close on May 19, during which thousands of film companies from around the world will gather here.

Hanlin Culture Media is not an investor, but because Zhang Chu handed over the script of "Farewell My Concubine" to Director Xu Ji's studio in order to reduce their upfront costs, he did not ask for cash, but all he wanted was dividends.

If the movie can achieve a high box office, then their 5% profit dividend will still have a lot of money.

This profit dividend is not only limited to the box office, but also the later website, TV broadcast, and overseas copyright!

In addition, this can also drive the sales of Zhang Chu's name, and Random House has been stepping up to translate into English by contacts, just to set up a booth at the Cannes Film Festival.

If you are an audience who really likes that movie, you will definitely not skimp on the money in your wallet to buy a book.

It's a whole thing.

To promote movies or promotional works, Zhang Chu himself needs to be present, and no one can help him shout.

As the world's most watched film festival, Cannes also releases posters and trailers here every year, and Zhou Kang doesn't know if Disney has any arrangements for this.

"The Da Vinci Code" may also be able to announce a pilot trailer or the first poster here, and at that time, it was really going to the film festival with a lot of works, instead of spending money to buy tickets and rub the red carpet yourself!

"Since the director of the Cannes Film Festival has already said that the film is very good, it should be said that it is more stable to enter the main competition unit, right?" Ye Shumei was more confused, "But there seems to be no news in China, it will be released in June, and I am not in a hurry to promote it now." ”

After all, Zhou Kang knew more about these things, and he said, "Because they are more cautious." There was such news last year, the film called "Baby I'm Sorry" released news very early that the word of mouth exploded, and it was favored by the Cannes Film Festival. ”

"That's right, it's not bad for the next few days, and I will publicize it after the list is really announced. Ye Shumei said with a straight face, "This should be our company's first appearance in Cannes, so we must be prepared." Especially when helping Zhang Chu publicize, you must be prepared for which activities to participate in first, what clothes to wear, what car to take, and where to live to participate in these activities. ”

The film and television adaptation rights of Zhang Chu's works don't need to be promoted, they are all crying and shouting to come and buy.

So if you participate in this event, you really don't need Zhang Chu to sell.

At this time, Zhou Kang suddenly patted his head, "I have to call Yida Film and Television to ask, I don't know what their plan is!"

"Why did you suddenly jump to Yida Film and Television again?"

Ye Shumei felt that she couldn't keep up with Zhou Kang's thinking, and she was talking to him about "Farewell My Concubine", but he jumped to Yida Film and Television.

"First of all, I have to communicate with them about the follow-up of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Zhang Chu insists on finishing the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy before he will start serializing the content behind "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". At the beginning, we had a verbal agreement with Yida Pictures, saying that Zhang Chu would resume the update when the movie was released in the summer vacation to help promote the movie, and this plan will never catch up with the changes!"

"That's the reason, I don't know how Zhang Chu is writing now, I don't dare to ask, for fear of disturbing him. ”

Zhou Kang also nodded, but he had a private connection with Blair, so Zhang Chu also understood the progress he told Blair a few days ago.

""Ghost Blows the Lantern" will be released in the summer, and they also need to find a distributor overseas, right, they can't miss Cannes? Then the films can be put together. ”

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is different from "Farewell My Concubine", it is a thorough commercial film!

So what it wants to do is not to sell the overseas exhibition rights, but to seek a distributor with a wide range of channels, so that "Ghost Blows the Lantern" can be released in other countries and regions.

Obviously, China is the main source of box office, and it is estimated that there has been feng shui in East Asia, but the rest of the country needs strong distributors to back it up.

Now Zhou Kang is getting closer and closer to a qualified agent, and he is very thoughtful in these things.

At present, Zhang Chu's works have almost reached the point of swiping the screen, and what they need is simple control and evaluation, rather than a number of accumulations.

Any more, it's too much.

……

A light rain fell on the pavilion, and the sudden rain trapped Zhang Chu in the park.

He had been out for a walk with matcha, but it didn't take long for it to start raining, and it didn't take long for the rain to get lighter until now!

It's wet outside, and matcha doesn't like water very much.

It nestled on Zhang Chu's body, curiously looking at the familiar and unfamiliar environment around it.

In the small pavilion, there are two old men sitting and playing Go.

Another anxious-looking aunt was pinned to her waist and said anxiously: "Oh, what can I do! It's almost time for my grandson to end from kindergarten, and I have to pick him up! When will the rain stop?"

No one could answer her question, Zhang Chu was not in a hurry to go home, he played with the meat pad on the paw of the matcha with his hand, thinking that he would cut his nails when he got home later, so as to save the nails from cracking or something.

Generally speaking, cats take care of their own nails, but there are always exceptions.

The misty water vapor gradually rises, and the melodious sound of erhu can be heard in the distance, and the whole park seems to be shrouded in a fairyland.

"What breed is this cat, young man, why do you want a black cat?"

The aunt, who was idle and had nothing to do, naturally cast her eyes on this young man, who made most of the park mostly elderly.

Zhang Chu was stunned, shook his head and said, "I don't know what breed it is, a friend gave it away." ”

Truth be told, matcha is extracted from the Savior system, and the system doesn't tell you about its variety.

It was the only living creature he had ever drawn so many times.

Zhang Chu strongly suspects that one day if matcha is sent into space, it is estimated that it will survive.

"It looks quite spiritual. But I can tell you, this black cat can see something unclean, so you'd better be careful......"

Once the aunt opened her mouth, she couldn't stop talking about the cats in their hometown before.

Soon the rest of the group joined in, chattering and discussing.

If matcha can understand, it is estimated that one person will have to scratch a paw.

At this time, Zhang Chu seemed to be listening to the stories of the older generation, but in fact, he had come to the savior system.

Just thought that matcha was a reminder of the lottery, it seems that his reputation in the savior system has reached 150 million points, and he can start the next lottery!

Now Zhang Chu only hopes to come to a template of a linguistics master, otherwise he really wants to die learning the language in "The Lord of the Rings"!

It's fun to write, but practicing the language inside, making a thesaurus for the language, and distilling everything out of the rules inside is complete torture.

The savior system obviously won't make Zhang Chu happy, and there are no prizes like elven language proficiency in it.

What kind of primary storytelling proficient, primary tea art, primary handicraft proficient and the like, this can be regarded as a skill to cultivate sentiment, anyway, Zhang Chu himself has no hobby in this area!

There are also some innocuous gadgets, but Zhang Chu basically doesn't need them now.

To be honest, he was a little disappointed with the draw.

Whatever is drawn, it won't help now.

"Let's draw a lottery. ”

The turntable spun rapidly, and for a while the words on it were completely invisible.

When it slows down, the pointer stops at "Beginner Storyteller Mastery"!

Zhang Chu in the consciousness space was already dumbfounded!

What are you doing with this thing?

Do you want to wear a long gown, a folding fan and a frightening wood to perform a storytelling for others?

It's funny to think about.

"Forget it, don't press with more skills, don't press with more skills!"

Zhang Chu could only reluctantly tell himself that this thing was probably still useful, just like the junior comic mastery and elementary Japanese proficiency that he drew at the beginning.

It may not have come in handy at the time, but Zhang Chu used his comic skills to present "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year" in front of the audience, and adapted Haruki Murakami's "Norwegian Wood" into a Chinese version with elementary Japanese proficiency.

When he came back to his senses, he found that the rain outside had basically stopped, and only the drizzle was still flying.

However, the aunt who was still yelling to pick up her grandson and was going to be late was not in a hurry at this time, and was setting up a dragon gate formation with a few old guys, talking about the supernatural events she had heard of, and she was so specific that she seemed to be at the scene!

Zhang Chu picked up the matcha, he smiled and said, "You talk slowly, now that the rain stops, I'll take a step first, goodbye everyone." ”

"You lad really don't have any patience. I haven't told you about the haunted cats in our building, why did you just run away!"

"Sister Xu, don't bother with him, continue to talk and talk, let's listen. ”

It is estimated that this aunt has the talent of a storyteller, and the system should hand over the mastery of primary storytelling to her!
