Every year, the Cannes Film Festival is the focus of attention of the entire world media industry.

From the announcement of the shortlist in the early stage, to the selection of the chairman of the jury, from the star director behind the film to the star-studded jury lineup, these are all places to be discussed.

The opening is enough to firmly occupy the headlines of the entertainment industry!

If it is opened, the news almost every day is that a certain star stepped on the red carpet to suppress anyone, or a certain work was well received, and the audience collectively stood up and applauded for half an hour, or the score of a certain shortlisted film was as high as or as low as how many points, and the voice of a certain actor was high after being crowned emperor.

Even people who don't pay attention to the entertainment industry probably know that having a Cannes Film Festival is very awesome.

This is the impression left by the press releases that have been washed away by the media.

Now Chinese films are becoming more and more powerful in business, and the annual box office list in the mainland every year can be on an equal footing with Hollywood blockbusters!

However, in the field of art cinema it is getting weaker and weaker.

There are fewer and fewer good movies, bad movies are in charge, and the audience can be described as miserable.

Not to mention the nominations for foreign language films at the Oscar or Golden Globe Awards, even the finalists and winners at the three major European film festivals are very scarce!

In the past, many Chinese works competed in the Cannes Film Festival together, and this time in the list of nominees, films from several surrounding countries have made great progress.

South Korea and Iran each have two works shortlisted, and the Philippines and Dongying also have excellent works!

If it weren't for "Farewell My Concubine" to support the scene, I am afraid that I would have been laughed out of my big teeth a long time ago.

Fortunately, Mr. Xu is still famous, and with the super high quality of the film, he successfully won the honor of the opening film, which can be regarded as a fig leaf.

For such a lone seedling, of course, the media must focus on reporting!

[The Cannes Film Festival announced the title, and Xu Ji's "Farewell My Concubine" was successfully shortlisted!]

["Farewell My Concubine" has become the only Chinese-language film in the main competition unit of Cannes!]

[The sword is not old, Director Xu's new work "Farewell My Concubine" will be the opening film of the Cannes Film Festival!]

[Golden lineup - Xu Ji + Zhang Guorong + Zhang Chu!]

[What is the story of "Farewell My Concubine", which is expected to win the highest honor at the Cannes Film Festival for the first time after the new millennium?]

[Adapted from Zhang Chu's original work, director Xu Ji's work "Farewell My Concubine" will participate in the main competition unit of this year's Cannes Film Festival. 】

[The hidden god in the Chinese film industry, Zhang Chu's three works gather in Cannes!]

[Do you really understand "Farewell My Concubine"?]

[The chairman of Cannes praised Director Xu's new work, saying that it has the potential to be a classic in film history!]

The number of comments and likes under these news is also very high, even if they are not fans of these main creators, they do not hesitate to give a like.

Only people in the film industry can better understand the difficulties and difficulties involved, and feel the shock brought by this nomination!

A filmmaker named Lin Haofeng commented: "While I am happy for "Farewell My Concubine", I am also a little sad. Chinese-language films are almost disconnected, and there are fewer and fewer excellent films. Where are our middle-aged directors and young directors? Now we still need Xu Lao to come out and save a little face for us. But after this movie, Xu Lao retired. What are we going to do next year, the year after next, the year after next? Who will stand up?"

"After watching the internal test screening of "Farewell My Concubine", I felt that this film was shortlisted steadily, continuing Director Xu's high standard as always. Zhang Guorong's acting skills in this have reached the peak of his life, and the story written by Zhang Chu is very tasteful, hoping to win the Palme d'Or back. ”

"What a surprise! Congratulations to Director Xu!"

"The light of Chinese movies!"

"Amazing, Director Xu is a person who strives for excellence, this movie about Peking Opera must be seen in the cinema!"

"Last time, I was fortunate enough to participate in Director Xu's movie, and I felt Director Xu's caution in every shot and every line. I hope Director Xu will not retire and continue to make movies!"

"Reconsideration reconsideration!"

This group of actors, directors, and screenwriters who have added red V certification have sent their blessings, and they sincerely hope that this work can achieve good results.

Ordinary netizens are not to be outdone, and one comment after another is praising it.

"The old man is really not old. I think it's better to continue filming after resting for two months, it just so happens that Zhang Chu still has so many works to shoot, old man, take care of your body, don't retire!"

"After reading it, I really think Cheng Dieyi is very charming, and I feel worthless for him. ”

"Looking forward to Zhang Guorong's version of Cheng Dieyi, I hope to perform the kind of energy that is not crazy and can't survive!"

"Can I say that I once watched a whole Peking Opera performance on the Internet for this one? I don't know if Zhang Guorong looked for a stand-in when they filmed the plot of the performance on the stage, anyway, it looks pretty good. ”

"I highly recommend everyone to read the original book, you will find that Cheng Dieyi is a very poor person. ”

"Last time, I remembered that Director Xu's "City Lights of Psychological Crime" was also included in the cannese, right? It seems to be Zhang Chu's work, but unfortunately it didn't win the award. I hope this one can make up for the regrets. ”

"What? This movie is an adaptation?"

"Anyway, the label of this book makes me a little afraid to read it, is this true or false for the same sex? Zhang Chu actually wrote this kind of book?"

Only a few stills from the movie have been released so far, and none of the trailers have been cut.

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is also going to be released in the summer, and there are a lot of pilot trailers, first trailers, and character trailers at this time, and I can't wait to announce all the content.

The media can't wait to report from different angles, not to mention Xu Ji, Zhang Guorong and other leading actors, and even the phone number of Zhang Chu, the original author, has been blown up!

Hanlin Culture Media has also received many interview calls from the media, and some people even want to contact Zhang Chu through his Weibo private message.

Compared with a writer and a successful director and actor, Starlight is indeed inferior.

But he also has something in him that the rest of the people don't have!

It's like now, how honored is it for a writer to have three adaptations of his work present at the Cannes Film Festival?

And the popularity of each movie is very high, not simply inferior to rub the popularity.

This probably strengthened the determination of film and television companies to get the copyright of Zhang Chu's works!

Instead of believing in the brand-new scripts that those screenwriters came up with, it is better to buy Zhang Chu's ready-made story.

This is not to say that the screenwriters' scripts are necessarily inferior to his works, but they feel that these scripts have not been recognized by the market, and the risks are much greater.

But it's too late to get ready to start!

The film and television rights of Zhang Chu's old books have been sold, and even many people want to pre-order his new books, even if they don't have a name.

This time, "The Lord of the Rings" has just announced its new book plan, and before it has time to say its name, countless film and television companies have contacted Hanlin Culture Media!

Even if Zhang Chu later said that this is a Western fantasy, this genre is obviously not very suitable for domestic film and television companies to shoot.

However, these applications have not decreased.

For them, what they buy is what they earn!

However, Ye Shumei and Zhou Kang are not ready to sell so easily, they know that Zhang Chu is depicting a huge movie world.

If this kind of work is given to a small company to produce, it is pure book destruction.

You have to find a big company with strength.

They plan to follow the example of "The Da Vinci Code" and find a top Hollywood studio to shoot it, and join the producers on their side.

If you want to have the right to speak, you can only wait for the "Lord of the Rings" book to become famous, otherwise you can't convince that group of capitalists.

Similarly, even if these domestic film and television companies can't buy Zhang Chu's film and television copyrights, they can use their co-investors to join those movies and TV series that have not yet been filmed.

So his work has become the best financing case in the film and television industry, and there are countless companies waving checks and wanting to participate in the investment.

……

drove the card to enter the campus, and Zhang Chu directly turned his mobile phone into airplane mode at this time, saving the trouble of text messages and calls.

Leave everything to the brokerage company to rectify, and I am still an honest student now.

He came to the school early to ask for leave from the teachers for the two days of May 8 and May 9.

If it's a little more formal, you need to go to the academic office and write a leave of absence, and then forward it to these teachers.

If you don't want to, you can send an email or text message directly.

However, for the sake of Zhang Chu's usual achievements, he had to ask for leave in person!

"You want to take a leave of absence?"

Professor Liang Yiming held up the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked, "Why do you want to take leave, you were still late for class last time." ”

It's "Foreign Literature" again!

Previously, Zhang Chu was asked to sing "Once Upon a Time" because he was late for class, but now he has found it in the hands of Professor Liang.

"No, no, Professor Liang, I don't mean to take a leave of absence, but to change the time. I had something to do on the 8th and I had to go abroad, and it happened that you were going to give this class to another class on the 11th, and I thought that I should come back at that time, so I changed to the 10th. ”

After all, the Cannes Film Festival is a grand event in the film industry, and Zhang Chu does not plan to stay there for too long.

After the opening ceremony, I will come back after helping "Ghost Blows the Lantern" and "The Da Vinci Code" as mascots.

Anyway, the 67th is a weekend, so you can go early.

For his famous student, Liang Yiming still likes it!

This kid usually seems to be down-to-earth, listens carefully to every class, and doesn't stop studying because of fame and money.

So after thinking about it, he readily agreed: "Then you must rush back on Friday the 11th, and then you will talk about the key points, if you miss it, you will have to spend a lot of effort to make up for it." ”

"Okay, thank you, Professor Leung. ”

"So what are you going to do this time abroad?"

"Well, the film "Farewell My Concubine" that I participated in the production was shortlisted for this Cannes Film Festival, and it was also the opening film. I'll have to go over there and help spread the word and broaden my horizons by the way. ”

Liang Yiming took off his glasses at this time, and said nostalgically in a melancholy tone: "Cannes Film Festival, I also went to the Cannes Film Festival a few times when I was studying in Europe in the 80s, but I went to be an audience. At that time, I couldn't see Chinese movies at all, but fortunately, there are still some today. ”

Although it was spread all over the Internet at this time, the old professor who didn't use new media much still didn't receive this message.

"yes, it's better now than it was then. Which director the professor likes about his work, if I meet him in Cannes, see if I can get an autograph. ”

"I don't have a favorite director. You can enjoy the art of film over there, because film and literature are two forms of artistic expression and are closely related. ”

"Okay, then Professor Liang, I'll go back to the classroom first. ”

"Go, go, go. ”

The temporary teacher's lounge was at both ends of the teaching building on this floor, and when Zhang Chu came out of it, Leng Buding was tapped on the shoulder, which made him shiver.

"Hey, what are you doing here? Anmi shook her head at the door of the lounge, wanting to hear something.

Zhang Chu pulled him over, "I'm asking Professor Liang for leave." ”

"What kind of leave?" asked Sun Ruiqi blankly.

Yang Ling guessed and said, "Could it be that you are going to participate in some event?"

"I'm going to the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival next month, so I'm taking a leave of absence. ”

"Next month, you asked for leave so early, and there are more than 20 days! Don't you know that you can take a week of leave in advance?" Anmi disdained, "I think you just want to show off to the professor, show off that you went to the Cannes Film Festival." ”

Zhang Chu snorted, "Am I that kind of person? It's just a matter of adjusting the class schedule in advance." ”

After listening to the conversation between the two of them, Sun Ruiqi grasped a little clue: "Are you going to the Cannes Film Festival? What are you going to do there? Walking the red carpet and watching movies?"

I had classes all morning, and I rushed over to class after eating at noon, Sun Ruiqi really didn't know the news on the Internet.

Yang Ling explained on the side: "Not long after the news, his "Farewell My Concubine" was selected by Cannes. ”

"Wow!

Sun Ruiqi lost her voice.

"It's just basic. Anmi looked very calm, "Unless you come back with a prize, I don't think there's anything surprising about it!"

"It's really nothing special, it's not me who made it, I didn't act in it, I just had a long time in the past, and by the way, I watched the rest of the movies. ”

The expressions of these three people were synchronized, and they looked at Zhang Chu with contempt together, pretending to be forced to look at the occasion!

TM: You wrote it!

Nothing special!

"The Da Vinci Code" is still not finished, and it is certainly impossible to expect to see the film at the Cannes Film Festival.

However, because "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is looking for overseas distribution partners, he will definitely have a screening party in Cannes, and at that time he wants to see if this movie is worth his help and publicity!

He didn't want to shout for a big bad movie.

Shame on the thief!

Zhang Chu was despised by his friends, and then changed the topic: "By the way, do you have time tomorrow morning? I finished writing my "Lord of the Rings", and I want to find someone to help me take a look at it and give some suggestions for revision. ”

Today, I redesigned the outline and outline, after all, it's already two million words.

However, after overthrowing and restarting, it was stuck, and it was very ecstatic.

Tomorrow the author fungus will start breaking out again!
