If there is any film award that can compare to Olympic video, it can only be the Cannes Film Festival.

The rest, whether it is the Venice Film Festival or the Berlin Film Festival, are a little worse.

Although after entering the year 2000, the Cannes Film Festival has begun to flown itself and begin to move closer to business, becoming the world's largest film buying and selling trade conference, and there is also the king of sunglasses, who has given several actors, actresses, and Palme d'Or awards in one go, but before that, the Cannes Film Festival was still very public and very artistic.

The authority of the Cannes Film Festival is particularly recognized in China, and perhaps there is another reason for this, that is, Chinese filmmakers have never won the Hollywood Oscar.

You don't take me to play anymore, why do I keep sticking your cold cheeks with a hot face?

This is especially true after the development of the Chinese film market.

Anyway, it's enough to have a domestic market, and as for Hollywood or something, it's boring to covet this kind of thing, and it's easy to lose your old camp.

Such an idea is even more popular after "Wolf Warrior 2" hit a box office of more than 5 billion.

However, the Cannes Film Festival and other three major festivals in Europe are attended by many Chinese filmmakers every year, and this has always been the case.

No way.

Who called our major domestic film festivals, including TV festivals, miserable?

In his previous life and present life, Yin Jun had never been to France, after all, in such a lofty place, with Yin Jun's salary of several thousand yuan a month, it was quite difficult to come here.

Before Yin Jun crossed, he had been to a lot of domestic tourism, and Xiangjiang Aomen had also been there, and these were also places to spend money.

Now back to 42 years ago, after several years of hard work, Yin Jun is certainly not short of money, but he has been busy all the time and has not traveled anywhere.

It's their own women who often go out to travel, even Wen Bixia, a girl, took her mother to Huajing last year and let Aunt Zhang play for a few months?

Of course, Yin Jun didn't come out to play this time, although he was holding a little girl with one hand as soon as he got off the plane.

One is Li Zhi, and the other person who appeared unexpectedly is Qiu Doudou.

Originally, Yin Jun didn't think that Qiu Shuzhen was coming, who knew that the two little girls knew each other on the set, Li Zhi was excited to prepare for her trip to Cannes, she was seen by Qiu Doudou, and after curiously asking the reason, she immediately called Yin Jun, a cross-ocean call.

Under the cry of the little ancestor, Yin Jun had no choice, anyway, a child was also brought, and the two were the same, and they could also let each other have a companion, so Yin Jun asked Shi Shaoming and Zhou Yanfa to take them on the plane together and come over first.

Yin Jun himself and the crew of "The Shawshank Redemption" also came to Cannes in the first two days of the opening ceremony in advance.

The reason why we are in such a hurry is because "The Shawshank Redemption" has been set as the opening film of the main competition unit.

This is a very big honor, and at least it proves that the judges of the Cannes Film Festival are very fond of this film, and it is already ahead of others in the sequence of awards.

Yin Jun and the other crew have only arrived now, but the public relations team of Lianyi Film Company came to Cannes as early as the end of April, and Jason Tanya, general manager of the distribution department of Lianyi Film Company, personally led the team to carry out various public relations.

Although Hollywood has the biggest award that filmmakers all over the world dream of - the Oscars, this does not mean that they do not pay attention to European film awards.

From an artistic point of view, there is no way to compare Americans and Europeans.

Many of their aspiring actors, in addition to the Oscars, also like to be affirmed by the three major European film festivals.

As for film companies, if they want to sell their films to Europe, they must also make a name for themselves in Europe.

How do you make a name for yourself?

Isn't it just to win awards at major film festivals and then sell films at a high price?

Half of the reason why the three major European film festivals will become more and more popular in the future lies in the attack of the three camps of China, Japan and South Korea in Asia, and the other half is all from American films.

But for this kind of work, in fact, it is common to send a manager-level person to be in charge of one or two, two or three movies.

A high-level person like Jason Tanya actually doesn't have to come in person.

But who called the director of "The Shawshank Redemption" Yin Jun, and Yin Jun is the boss of United Arts Film Company?

So Jason Tanya was very active and began to run all kinds of PR, and the drinking parties did not stop all day long.

Hollywood has PR, and so do the three major film festivals.

Without these things, what do you think the judges would eat?

In fact, all kinds of transactions have always existed.

It's just that the basic bottom line of the Cannes Film Festival, Venice Film Festival and Berlin Film Festival is still there, and it is impossible for such a wonderful film festival in China to win awards for films and actors.

In fact, if "The Shawshank Redemption" is not good enough, even if you give more public relations money and find more relationships, it will be a "Jury Award" at the top, maybe it will be a little worse, and it will be an award for a youth film award, which will make people laugh and cry.

The fact now is that "The Shawshank Redemption" won the love of all the judges as soon as it appeared.

Among them was the current jury, Giorgio Strelle, a superstar of the Italian theater industry and one of Europe's top figures.

Also included in the jury, Jean-Jacques Arnaud, who just won the 7th French Film César Award for Best Director last year for "War of Fire".

This Jean-Jacques Arnaud has a good impression of China, and Liang Jiahui's "Lover", which became popular in Europe, was directed and filmed by him.

And 22 years after "Lover", he came to China to shoot a very beautiful and primitive film - "Wolf Totem".

After watching the movie, you know that this old man has a deep understanding of Chinese culture and grassland culture, if you don't like it, why should a Frenchman understand your Chinese culture?

Yin Jun's "The Shawshank Redemption", in essence, does not have any restrictions on race and country at all.

It can happen in the United States, it can happen in China, it can happen in the United States.

This is a story of freedom and self-redemption, and it is also a story that happens to you and me.

All the flavors of life in prison can be extended to the whole society.

Europeans love stories like this, stories of reality and exploration.

That's why they let "The Shawshank Redemption" serve as the opening film of the main competition unit.

In the past two days in Cannes, Yin Jun specially visited several bigwigs, talked with them about art films, and talked to them with those theories and opinions in the future, but Streller and Jacques were very interested, and felt that this young man must have a bright future in art films.

In addition to work, the boy also took the two girls to wander around the streets and alleys of Cannes to play, invited them to eat a lot of delicious food, took a lot of photos, and bought a lot of good things, so that the two girls, who had never been to such a far place, felt extremely happy and satisfied.

Compared with them who became famous in the future, Qiu Shuzhen and Li Zhi are still very simple and naïve.

They don't pay attention to any luxury enjoyment and shopping, as long as they can be with Yin Jun and play around, it is a great happiness for them.

Speaking of which, no matter how inflated the stars of China are, they are much more conservative than the exaggerated luxury of European and American stars.

At least they can't go abroad to perform, so they have to sign hundreds of pages of contract details with the performer, including time, car, meals, utensils, nanny assistant treatment, etc., all of which must be clear and clear, which can simply scare people to death.

Most of the stars in Xiangjiang are from ordinary families, and at most they bring a few assistants and bodyguards, so they will not be so hypocritical at all.

What's more, Li Zhi and Qiu Shuzhen have never played big names, and in essence, they are both good girls.

That's why Yin Juncai likes them so much.

In such a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, "The Shawshank Redemption" began its first day of screening.

Because of Yin Jun's fame, the first screening was full of people - nonsense, Jason took out Yin Jun's resume, with those comics, those books, with the screenwriters and directors of several classic movies, those Europeans, South Americans, Japanese and Koreans, all rushed over, wanting to see what literary movies this great talent had made.

Yin Jun also took the crew and sat inside to watch together.

Although Yin Jun has seen the first and final cuts, and he participated in the editing himself, the feeling of watching the editing in a small room, and a few people watching it in the screening room, is completely different from the feeling of watching hundreds of people in the cinema now.

I heard the audience sigh, exclaim, and regret from time to time...... and when Andy and Red hugged each other at the end, the cheers in the field were like winning the battle, and at the end of the movie, the three-minute standing ovation made not only the main creators, but also Yin Jun himself, who also felt a burst of relief and satisfaction.

"The Shawshank Redemption" is not the best movie made by Yin Jun, but it is a movie that Yin Jun made very hard and has a lot of feelings.

After filming "The Shawshank Redemption", he understood why Hollywood movies could dominate the world, but Xiangjiang movies could only leave the scene in the end.

It is precisely because Hollywood not only has commercial blockbusters, but also these literary films full of human care and various beautiful qualities, that the overall image of Hollywood will be so rich and three-dimensional.

What is Xiangjiang Movie?

Isn't it just a movie of, pee, and fart, just a bunch of movies of the same genre?

Excellent directors such as Xu Anhua and Zhang Wanting, although they also have the ability to make good movies, but due to the limitations of the overall market, and for various other reasons, they finally did not support another day of Xiangjiang films, and could only become a small wave in the sea - it was submerged in an instant.

Chinese movies actually have such hidden worries.

But the fate of Chinese domestic movies is good, they have caught up with the big market with a population of 1.5 billion, and they also have a rising enthusiasm for watching genuine movies, so it is a bit incredible that those crude and rotten movies can survive in the end.

However, in such chaos and impetuousness, it is not without good art films emerging.

For example, Xiaogang Cannon has made several good films, and "Fanghua" is a typical one.

There are also "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", "Return" and so on.

I believe that in the future, there will be more good movies in Huaguo that take into account the box office, connotation and word of mouth.

Only in this way will Chinese films not be lame, will they really expand outward, will they export their own culture and values, and one day compete with Hollywood!!
