Extra-twelve
At the beginning of May, "Donkey Gets Water" was completed.
That night, Xu Hui called the crew's own actors to the room.
"Go back and get ready, come with me to Cannes!"
"I'm going too?"
Fu Dalong was a little surprised.
"How fresh, of course you have to go, I'm going to bring all the actors in the company on this trip! Let's rent an island, so many rooms, it's a waste to put them up!"
Zhou Yiwei was a little embarrassed: "But... But we don't have a work..."
“… Go to the movies, there are a lot of good films to be screened at the Cannes Film Festival, by the way, you can also bring your families!"
After thinking about it, Xu Hui looked at Ren Suxi: "Suxi, do you have a sponsor for the dress?"
"Not yet..."
"It's okay, our company seems to have a partnership with Versace and Dior, and I'll ask your agent to call Chen Farong later, and she will arrange it for you." ”
“… Director, will we be criticized for having such a vast group of people?"
Besides, so many of us go to Cannes, eating, drinking, and Lazar are all driving the French economy, and the French people are living in dire straits, so it can be regarded as humanitarian poverty alleviation! Okay, disband, let's set off on the 13th and take the company's own plane!"
……
There is no doubt that Teiwen's move shocked the circle.
Throughout Huiwen, almost all the actors were empty, and many of the works that were being filmed had to accept the fact that the leading actors left.
No way, someone invited you to Cannes for free, do you want to go?
Eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling and smoking, the kind of all-inclusive one!
Nonsense, of course go, whoever doesn't go, who is the pen!
Yang Zi probably wanted to interact with fans intimately, and publicly said on Weibo, 'Our director said, let's go together to promote the friendship between the Chinese and French people, unite the third world countries, and save the French people in dire straits...'
The news was immediately reprinted by a bunch of websites!
The wisdom of netizens was quickly mobilized, and a bunch of jokes about France immediately appeared on the Internet.
"Why did it take Germany three days to conquer France in World War II?" replied: because it was raining.
"What's the best thing about being French?" A: You can surrender when the war starts and someone else will help you win it.
"France is really a rookie, we need Italian guns to show our swords!"
"After studying in France for three years, the biggest feeling is that French workers are so happy, working 30 hours a week, and they are not satisfied..."
"It's embarrassing to suddenly feel French plus or minus..."
Well, it is recognized that the French people are still brave and good at fighting, at least much better than Italy!
There have been Napoleon and Zidane, but one of them is Corsican and the other is Algerian...
Compared with Yang Zi, some of the company's little flowers are much more cautious, saying that the significance of being able to participate in the Cannes event is very profound and important - there is nothing more worthy of recognition than a young actor's continuous progress in his acting career and his reverence for the sacred art of film, not to mention the cultural exchange and collision of ideas between Chinese and Western films, which can make people learn a lot.
Well, they're not running the red carpet for the purpose.
It's true!
……
It's another year of Cannes.
Every May, whether it is in the entertainment industry or the fashion circle, they will gather in this small city in France to have a dream related to movies.
Many people don't know exactly what kind of people are eligible to step on the red carpet, and Pierre Lesquier, president of the Festival de Cannes, told the media: "The organizing committee will invite some stars to participate in the Cannes International Film Festival, but the main thing is that the producers and distributors of each film have applied for invitations from us, and then they themselves will distribute them to the stars." ”
That's what Huiwen did.
Applied for 50 invitations at once, and of course Cannes did not respond so much, only ten were given...
It doesn't matter, anyway, Huiwen has money, so it should be regarded as a team building and traveling abroad.
As we all know, the award-winning works of European film festivals have a certain relationship with the personal tastes of the judges, so sometimes the decision on whether a work can win the Palme d'Or depends mainly on the list of judges.
Xu Hui was desperate.
The chairman of the jury this year is Jane Campion, a New Zealand director, whose most famous work is called "The Piano Lesson", which is a love and music film!
By the way, "Piano Lesson" and "Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or together...
It is said that the reason is that she was pregnant at the time, and several other judges secretly helped, sympathy plus favor...
Nearly 20 years have passed since then, and Campion and Chen Kaige's situation is much the same, with repeated failures and lacklustreness.
I haven't been in Hollywood, a typical director from a third world country, I don't know much about her, Xu Hui just knows that this is a very feminist director...
The list of judges includes Jia Zhangke, Layla Khatami, Jeon Do-yeon, Gael Garcia Bernal, Nicholas Wending Refern, Sofia Coppola, and Willem Dafoe.
There is a festival between Xu Hui and the sixth generation, and Lao Jia, as the backbone of the sixth generation, there is no doubt that these two people have different paths.
Damn, "Beautiful Life" is probably going to say goodbye to the Palme d'Or...
……
Arriving in Cannes on the 13th, the festival has not yet officially opened, and the red carpet of the opening ceremony in front of the Palais du Cinémath is ready.
Movie posters for several of the year's blockbusters have seized prime locations near the Palais du Cinema, and the promotional offensive for blockbusters such as "Transformers 4" and "The Expendables 3" has begun.
Not only that, in terms of Chinese films, "Taiping Wheel" and "One Step Away" have put their own posters on the cover of the festival room program, in addition, the generosity of "The Legend of Rabbit Man 2" is worth mentioning. Not only has it become one of the largest Chinese-language film booths in the Marché du Film Market, but a large advertisement for the film has also taken up the façade of a hotel opposite the Palais du Cinema.
The Cannes Plus One market is already overcrowded.
A bunch of Chinese-language films appeared on the cover and inside pages of the Cannes house of Screen, the Market Guide of Screen and The Hollywood Reporter Cannes, all in the form of commercials, of course.
"One Step Away" even appeared on the cover of the "Screen" house magazine, the concept poster of "Journey to the West: Monkey King Three Fights the White Bone Spirit" appeared on the back cover of "The Screen"; the concept poster of the new 3D Chinese film "Tomb Robbery Notes" with an estimated investment of 200 million yuan was also unveiled; and the six-member poster of the film "Taiping Wheel" directed by Wu Baige appeared on the cover of the "Screen" market guide.
"Nie Yinniang", which has always remained mysterious, also revealed stills at the beginning of the "Screen" house magazine, and the female assassin of the Tang Dynasty played by Shu Qi showed a fierce look.
In addition, a number of Chinese-language films such as "Master of Hypnosis", "Victory", "Close Kill", "Golden Age" and "Little Reunion" have also been advertised in several major publications to attract major international buyers.
As a participating film in the main competition unit, "Beautiful Life" is not allowed to be promoted too much.
However, with the title of the latest work of the Oscar-winning director, "Life is Beautiful" will be presented in Cannes as the opening film!
