Chapter 953: It's a Matter of Course
The gap in the history of Chinese films for so many years has been filled at this moment!
The persistent efforts of many generations of filmmakers have finally not been in vain, and at this moment, whether they like the works of directors Zhang Chu and Xu Ji or not, they are celebrating from the bottom of their hearts.
Netizens who stayed up late to watch the live broadcast almost fell into madness!
"Congratulations to the overlord and my concubine, congratulations to all the crew members!"
"I almost cried, I haven't seen this movie yet, but this is definitely a must-see this year. ”
"A thousand words, only two words can describe it!"
"It's a pity to miss out on the actress, but the performance of the two of them definitely deserves the award. But it is impossible for Cannes to give all the awards to Farewell My Concubine, and in addition to giving the best Palme d'Or, that is, to give the best screenwriter the best as a consolation. ”
"This Cannes Film Festival is so perfect, it is simply a blessed land for Chinese films!"
"Originally, I watched Zhang Chu, and I thought that this movie would definitely not look good after being adapted into film and television, but I found that the director was actually Mr. Xu, and the actors were all real powerful and acting skills, and I strongly called on the managers of various theaters to give it more films!"
[Farewell My Concubine won the Palme d'Or] This topic directly landed on the first place on the real-time hot search list of Weibo and Qiandu, and even ranked fifth on Twitter's global trends, and many foreigners are brushing this topic.
If only Chinese can enjoy this movie, then it is simply impossible to get the love and support of so many people.
As a well-known American film critic said, "Farewell My Concubine may not be the best movie in China, but it is definitely one of the best!"
This sentence sounds a bit winding, but it's actually quite easy to understand.
Everyone's appreciation tendency is different, and no work can be recognized by everyone as the best movie.
But one of the best movies can have many!
Zhang Chu didn't know what to say, but the film finally lived up to his expectations and successfully won the first place at the Cannes Film Festival.
The success of the previous life, after the change in this life, is not 100% restored, and it should have its own merits from the original movie.
It seems that even if it is a different world, a good story will always stand out!
"It's good that I didn't shoot it, but I didn't expect that I would get an award because of this compensation mentality, which is really rare. ”
It is impossible for the organizing committee of Cannes to give the Palme d'Or to "Farewell My Concubine" and then take out the jury prize or the best actor and actress, and more than 20 excellent films are all birds waiting to be fed, and it is rare for a film to win 12 or 3 awards like the Oscars.
Before the excitement passed, he immediately found a picture of Mr. Xu holding the Palme d'Or trophy and posted it on his Weibo: "It's a pity that I didn't witness history with the crew, thank you to all the people who have contributed to "Farewell My Concubine", without you, such an excellent movie would not have been born." Our quintessence and our history are well known to foreign people at this moment, and I hope that there will be more and better Chinese films to lead our culture out of the country in the future!"
When most people are still asleep, the P picture god in a small number of night owls who stay up late has already started working silently, and the first popular comment of Zhang Chu's Weibo is a picture.
In the picture, the god put Zhang Chu's grinning smile on the group photo of the crew of "Farewell My Concubine" collectively taking the stage to receive the Palme d'Or, "Help you realize your wish, thank you." ”
This picture looks very funny, Zhang Chu's head seems out of place, just like many students who missed the photo in their graduation photos were P, only one head floated in the air.
Nanhai Publishing Company certainly will not miss this opportunity to promote the work, "Congratulations to "Farewell My Concubine" for becoming the first Chinese-language film to win the Palme d'Or, and congratulations to the original author Zhang Chu for successfully winning the Best Screenplay Award. Forward this Weibo now, and 10 lucky readers will be selected to give away a hardcover version and a ticket to the premiere!"
As publishers, of course, they want the movie to be as popular as possible, and the more classic it is, the better.
In this way, the original book can complement the movie, and as long as it still has a name in film history, then it will not be drowned in the vast sea of books.
If you don't pay attention to propaganda at this time, when will you wait?
It's a godsend, you can directly announce the reprinting, otherwise various bookstores and online bookstores will definitely replenish the stock quickly.
The fastest speed is Dangdang.com, the original slogan of "Farewell My Concubine" was "Zhang Chu's masterpiece", but now the suffix was immediately changed to "Cannes Palme d'Or Award movie original", so that it can quickly gain popularity.
As early as in the emotional classification, "Farewell My Concubine" has risen, and now the physical stores are closed in the middle of the night, and those who want to buy books are, of course, to go to the online bookstore to place an order to buy physical books, and those who are in a hurry can simply buy e-books!
Similarly, now in the category of "film and television originals", the sales of "Farewell My Concubine" this week have also successfully surpassed the rest of Zhang Chu's works.
You must know that "Ghost Blows the Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" has begun to bombard and bombard before the release, with stills, trailers, and behind-the-scenes footage of filming taking turns to play, and the actors have also worked tirelessly to appear in various variety shows to promote.
Originally, it firmly occupied the first place in the classification of original film and television works, but it was surpassed by "Farewell My Concubine"!
The Cannes Film Festival is too powerful.
There's a big difference between going there for a screening and going there and winning the top prize.
Even people who don't know about the entertainment industry know that the gold content of the Cannes Film Festival should be about the same level as the Oscars.
Of course, Nanhai Publishing Company is very happy, the original works of the two movies are produced by their company, whoever is the first is not the first, anyway, they can quickly sell out!
Gu Xinxue knows very well in his heart that although this year has not made a good start, the sales of Zhang Chu's "Norwegian Wood" are not particularly strong, but fortunately, "In the Name of the People" and "The Lord of the Rings" will stop the decline.
Now there are two more old books that continue to resurge, and the sales in the first half of the year are higher than the blessings of last year's "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Sou Shen Ji"!
What's more, now that Zhang Chu has written "The Lord of the Rings 2" and "The Lord of the Rings 3", and the follow-up content of "Ghost Blows the Lantern" will be published in the second half of the year, the sales of a single film may not be as good as "The Da Vinci Code", but there is obviously a great chance of winning in a group fight.
This year's year-end bonus will definitely be generous, and the employees are much more enthusiastic about their work.
Chris has been following the Cannes Film Festival in the hotel, but when he saw Zhang Chu and his films winning awards, he was obviously relaxed.
He muttered to himself: "It seems that this young man still has a set of scripts, and he is about to get the screenwriter slam at a young age, and when the time comes, you have to find him as a reference when writing the script of "The Lord of the Rings"!"
Hollywood studios are not small domestic studios, and it is impossible to let an original author who has not mastered a commercial blockbuster be the screenwriter, and Warner's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" series of movies is to let the original author JK Rowling be the screenwriter, and as a result, the box office and reputation of each movie are declining.
It turns out that she is a good writer, but not a good screenwriter.
If you rashly let the original author be the screenwriter, it is very likely that you will have a situation where you want to talk about everything, but you don't say anything well.
When many companies buy film and television copyrights, they will especially restrain the author, and in the negotiation with Hanlin Culture, Chris noticed that Zhang Chu only asked for a decision-making power, only the power to make decisions, and did not ask to participate in it personally.
Now that he's decided to accept those terms, Chris is now completely unfazed and ready to enjoy the beauty of life.
As a gold producer at Universal Pictures, he has actresses in any country who take the initiative to give him a hug, just for the opportunity to play a small role in a Hollywood movie.
Normally, Chris wouldn't say no to this kind of trade.
However, now that the Metoo movement is in full swing, he doesn't want to affect the rest of his life because of this night's romance.
So he was not going to look for Chinese actresses, he was wary of these actresses, but he was going to go to the bar to find them himself, and his friend Rodney had specially taught him about this, and he would be accosted by beautiful women if he didn't do anything.
……
The sound of the mobile phone vibrating kept coming from his ears, Zhang Chu closed his eyes and stretched out his hand to fum, unplugged the charging cable of the mobile phone, and then skillfully found the lock screen button and pressed it.
The world cleared up suddenly, and he quickly retracted his hand back into the quilt and went back to sleep.
The live broadcast of last night's Cannes Film Festival didn't end until 2 o'clock in the morning, and after that, he was scrolling through domestic and foreign news and replying to his friends' congratulations and delayed his bedtime.
He used to get up before the alarm went off, and sometimes he went out for a jog along Houhai in the early morning.
After an interval of five minutes, the vibration started again!
I tossed it back and forth several times.
Zhang Chu felt that it was probably due to lack of sleep, his eyes were a little puffy, and he forcibly opened his eyes to turn off the alarm clock instead of postponing it, he half sat on the bed, and scratched the hair that had become a chicken nest.
"It's almost eight o'clock!"
Lying down at four o'clock in the morning, less than four hours of sleep is completely insufficient.
Seeing that he was about to be late, Zhang Chu hurriedly changed his clothes, then casually shaved his hair twice with a comb, and went out with the bag on the sofa.
The first class is at half past eight in the morning, and it only takes less than eight minutes to get from the courtyard to the Yan University campus without traffic jams, but the problem is that it is now the morning rush hour!
"It's over, it's over, it's really going to be late. ”
He didn't need to look at the map on his mobile phone to know that the traffic arteries must be red and black, so he didn't plan to drive over, but walked quickly to the door of Ya'er Hutong, found a shared bicycle and stepped on it quickly.
Fortunately, I am still relatively young, and I can continue to exercise despite lack of sleep.
Now there are a lot of private cars and buses, but there are also a lot of bicycles, he desperately pedals forward, his eyes pay attention to the surroundings, and from time to time he overtakes others.
Except for the time to wait for the traffic light, I finally arrived at the teaching building before the class bell rang, but my hair and the back of my clothes were already wet with sweat!
The disadvantage of living off-campus is this, if you are in the dormitory, half an hour is more than enough, and you can even go to breakfast in time.
"What the hell did you do last night?" Anmi quipped in a low voice, and the evil smile looked.
This is probably what the rest of the people around think, although Zhang Chu is not the kind of fashionable trendsetter, but he is usually handsome and handsome, but today he looks a little messy, his clothes are a little untidy, his face is haggard, and he is enjoying the nightlife at first glance!
Zhang Chu wiped the sweat on his forehead with a tissue: "Yesterday, I watched the live broadcast of the Cannes Awards Ceremony until late and late, and the alarm clock didn't wake me up in the morning, so I really rode a bicycle all the way." No, give me your glass of water to drink, my throat and eyes are about to smoke. ”
He didn't pay attention to anything, he picked up the glass of water that Anmi handed over, poured it into his mouth, and swallowed it in a big gulp.
"I thought you weren't coming to school today, and your work won the Palme d'Or, why don't you celebrate?"
The professor above was looking for today's courseware in his USB flash drive, and Zhang Chu explained after breathing evenly: "There is a celebration party, probably after the crew came back from Cannes, otherwise there are no trophies, how to celebrate." ”
In any sense, there must be a celebration party, which is an excellent promotional opportunity for the film.
Anmi wanted to ask something more, but the teacher had already started lecturing, so he had to keep the question in his heart.
Zhang Chu, a pseudo-school bully, quietly took out the mobile phone in his backpack, and felt a vibration when he was riding just now, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it.
Now I found that there were a few calls and WeChat from the agent Zhou Kang, probably after finding that no one answered the phone, he sent > "The global side has relented, Chris is sure that the main body of the contract is fine, and now we are discussing more detailed content." You can come to the company directly after class later, and we will let the legal counsel start reviewing the details of the contract. ”
Not surprisingly, the end of the Cannes Film Festival also made people at Universal Pictures nervous, originally Zhang Chu was already a dazzling jade, and now the Cannes Film Festival has polished it more and more exquisitely.
Although the winner was "Farewell My Concubine", anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is based on Zhang Chu's original work.
Since this book can win the Palme d'Or, the rest of the quality is obviously not too bad, not to mention that Disney and Warner Bros. have already filmed the other two, and now "The Lord of the Rings" is still famous!
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Chris still has enough energy to deal with the content of the contract after a night of romance, which is indeed a bit powerful.
Both Universal and Hanlin Culture Media want to cut through the mess quickly, and both parties want to finalize the contract quickly, so they cooperate very tacitly, and they send this party who is still in class to come over to sign the contract!
