606 Good News!
Zhang Yi, who is forty-three this year, is a veteran movie fan.
Moreover, unlike young people, he is an old fan who admires Chinese movies, and Zhang Yi has never been very interested in Hollywood commercial blockbusters.
In this respect, Zhang Yi is an arrogant Chinese movie fan.
As a senior movie fan, Zhang Yi has always paid more attention to the selection of the four major international film festivals, or the three major international film festivals, without him, because of the xenophobia of the Oscars, the status of the Oscars in Zhang Yi's mind is ranked last.
Although, in terms of influence, the Oscars are the most powerful film festival in the world, according to statistics, about one billion people around the world will watch the Oscars on Oscar Night every year, which is incomparable to the other three major international film festivals.
The Oscars pay more attention to commerciality, while the three major European film festivals pay more attention to commerciality.
Of course, the reason why Zhang Yi likes the three major European film festivals is that the exclusivity of these three film festivals is not strong, even if it is a Chinese film, it can win the highest award in these three major film festivals.
In the Oscars, it is very difficult for Chinese films to win awards.
"By the way, it's already March, and at this time, the list of candidates for the Cannes Film Festival should be announced. Zhang Yi suddenly thought that in the past two days, it should be the time for the Cannes Film Festival to announce the list of selected films.
The Cannes Film Festival is usually held in mid-May every year, so she announces the shortlist two months in advance to get some people ready.
Subsequently, Zhang Yi immediately logged on to the official website of the Cannes Film Festival, ready to find the list of selected films.
Suddenly, Zhang Yi's eyes widened angrily, and he looked shocked.
"Is this "Three Kingdoms"?" Zhang Yi exclaimed in a low voice.
"Three Kingdoms", a Chinese phenomenal movie, Zhang Yi naturally knows that this is a movie that almost broke the box office of 2 billion.
Before "Three Kingdoms", Zhang Yi always thought that Hu Yu was just a pure commercial director, but after "Three Kingdoms", Zhang Yi had to admit that Hu Yu was still very powerful, in addition to commercial films, he would also shoot art films, and his attainments were not low.
""Three Kingdoms" was selected for the Cannes Film Festival, this is ......" Zhang Yi looked at "Three Kingdoms" on the webpage, and didn't know what to say for a while.
His current mood is very complicated, but more than that, it is excitement and excitement!
Without him, "Three Kingdoms" is a Chinese movie, Hu Yu is a Chinese person, and at the same time, Zhang Yi's psychology also swelled with a sense of expectation.
You must know that since ninety-seven years, no film in Huaxia has won the Palme d'Or, that is to say, until now, Huaxia has only one film at the Cannes Film Festival that won the Palme d'Or, and the name of this movie is "Farewell My Concubine"!
At the same time, at the Cannes Film Festival, there was only one best director in Huaxia.
The two most important awards, the Chinese people have only won once, and for a big country, such a performance is undoubtedly unqualified.
"Perhaps, "Three Kingdoms" can win the Palme d'Or, and perhaps, Hu Yu may win the Best Director!" This idea appeared very suddenly in Zhang Yi's mind.
It is no wonder that "Three Kingdoms" can be said to be the most outstanding film in China in the past ten years, and Hu Yu is the most outstanding director in China in recent years.
Therefore, Zhang Yi's expectations for Hu Yu are definitely the highest level.
What's more, "Three Kingdoms" is really great!
Abruptly, Zhang Yi became looking forward to the Cannes Film Festival.
At the same time, the magic capital, the headquarters building of Shuguang Entertainment, inside the office.
Hu Yu is arranging some matters with Zhao Zhonghua, after all, the audition for "In the Name of the People" has ended, and the actors are already familiar with the script, that is to say, Hu Yu does not have a few days of chic time.
A few days later, Hu Yu will officially join the crew of "In the Name of the People" and direct "In the Name of the People".
"Lao Zhao, these are the things, the summer file must be arranged, and this time under the "Three Kingdoms", it must be arranged to be put on the shelves simultaneously around the world!" Hu Yu advised.
In fact, Hu Yu has a deep obsession with the global synchronous shelf.
In fact, not only Hu Yu, but any director has an obsession with the global synchronous shelf, because it represents recognition of you.
This is a status symbol.
In the world, the number of directors is at least hundreds of thousands, millions, but how many directors can be put on the shelves around the world, there are only about 100 people.
These people are the Taishan of the director's circle!
There is a good saying that without a director who is on the shelves at the global synchronous, he cannot be called a big director at all.
"Boss, don't worry, "Three Kingdoms" will definitely be released globally simultaneously, if you can't do it, I will resign!" Zhao Zhonghua assured loudly.
"Don't, you resigned, I still have to find a general manager!" Hu Yu said with a smile, "How troublesome is this?"
Although Hu Yu said it in a mocking tone, Zhao Zhonghua still felt very good after hearing it, which was a feeling of respect.
"Knock knock!" suddenly sounded a sharp knock on the door.
Then, Zhang Kite ran in almost at a trot.
"Boss, something's wrong!" Zhang Yuan said.
"What's wrong?" asked Hu Yu aloud.
Seeing Hu Yu's expression, Zhang Yuan knew that Hu Yu had misunderstood what she meant, and she hurriedly said, "Boss, it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing, a good thing!"
"A great thing?"
"Well, boss, just now, the Cannes Film Festival announced the list of selected films, and our "Three Kingdoms" was selected!" Zhang Yuan said excitedly.
"Has "Three Kingdoms" been selected for the Cannes Film Festival?" Hearing this, Hu Yu subconsciously stood up, and then, a trace of excitement appeared on his face.
In fact, Hu Yu didn't have much hope that "Three Kingdoms" would be selected for the Cannes Film Festival, after all, although "Three Kingdoms" was a film produced in 2011, her schedule was 2012!
In terms of release time, this is a 12-year-old movie.
Generally speaking, international awards like this, the selected films, will be postponed by one year.
For example, "Three Kingdoms" did not make it to this year's Oscar selection, although "Three Kingdoms" performed perfectly in the North American market.
Therefore, the selection of "Three Kingdoms" to the Cannes Film Festival was a complete surprise.
"Boss, congratulations!" Zhao Zhonghua also shook his head when he heard Zhang Yuan's words, and then he said to Hu Yu with a smile.
"Three Kingdoms" was selected for the Cannes Film Festival, which is also a good thing for Zhao Zhonghua, after all, he is the general manager of Shuguang Entertainment, except for the second-in-command after Hu Yu.
