In Hu Zhenlong's opinion, he has a clear conscience about the results of the main competition unit of this year's Cannes International Film Festival!

According to him, he really did not mean to deliberately target and suppress Zhao Zhenghao.

The award of the "Jury Award" to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can be said to be the result of the unanimous decision of all the judges in the jury, although Hu Zhenlong is the chairman of the jury, but he can only play a role when there is obvious polarization in the voting results, and he can only choose to respect the results when the voting results are clear.

After all, the chairman of the jury of the main competition unit of this year's Cannes International Film Festival, although it is Hu Zhenlong, there is another person from Long Guo Zhao Tianyi in the jury list, but the other 23 people have nothing to do with Long Guo and Zhao Zhenghao, and Hu Zhenlong and Zhao Tianyi alone cannot control the entire jury.

The results have been announced, and no matter how much discussion there is, it will not mean anything to Zhao Zhenghao, so after returning from Cannes, although the relevant news about this Cannes Film Festival is still flooding the entire network, Zhao Zhenghao, the party, did not say anything about it.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was originally scheduled to be released globally on June 18th, exactly one month after the closing of this year's Cannes International Film Festival.

Originally, the controversy brought back from Cannes could be put to good use, but now the discussion about this time has obviously been distorted, and the focus of the audience of the melon-eating masses is not Zhao Zhenghao and his "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Most of the brushwork and contradictions and conflicts are concentrated on the two great directors Zhao Zhenghao and Hu Zhenlong.

Hu Zhenlong is a senior in the circle, a leader among the fifth generation of directors, a leader, with a high status and outstanding prestige in the circle.

Zhao Zhenghao is a backward junior in the circle, if divided by era, he can only barely enter the seventh generation of directors, although after his debut as a director, he is menacing and has achieved remarkable results, and can be called the most powerful and fastest rising new generation of directors in recent years, but his status and prestige in the circle are still far inferior to Hu Zhenlong.

Popularity and popularity, and status and prestige, are sometimes not equal.

In terms of popularity and popularity, Zhao Zhenghao is second to none in the Dragon Kingdom entertainment circle, and no one can match it.

Even many young fresh meat who have just debuted and sell their faces have a much higher recognition than old dishes like Hu Zhenlong.

However, if you want to talk about status and prestige, don't talk about those little fresh meat that can only be regarded as playthings, even Zhao Zhenghao, in front of a senior boss like Hu Zhenlong, who has the right to speak in the circle, even if he doesn't have to grovel, he has to lose a smile.

With Zhao Zhenghao's development momentum, sooner or later, his status and prestige in the circle can reach or even surpass Hu Zhenlong, but that is not something that can be done in a moment, nor is it that he can speed up this process if he has more fans, more money, and more popularity.

In terms of seniority, this is an unspoken rule that must be observed in any industry.

In the entertainment industry, the phenomenon of seniority is actually better than that of other industries, because here, it is about real ability and hard power.

However, the specific director profession, in terms of seniority, is more serious than that of singers, actors and other circles.

However, Zhao Zhenghao himself does not attach so much importance to things such as the right to speak and prestige.

In my previous life, I was not qualified to expect these things, and now, I am qualified not to need these things!

In the current Dragon Kingdom film circle, the main form of publicity before the release of the film is to participate in various variety shows, and Zhao Zhenghao has some convenient conditions in this regard, compared with others, because he has two programs with the highest ratings in the same period.

The "Challenger Alliance" can't participate because the schedule is not right, but the "Voice of the Dragon Kingdom" is just in time and can serve as the main front for publicity.

In order to cooperate with the promotion of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the second season of this year's "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom" started a few days earlier than the previous season, setting June 14, and the date was changed to the prime time on Friday night.

The release date of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was also fine-tuned, postponed by four days, and confirmed to be June 22, which is a Saturday.

On the evening of June 21, the day before, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will also hold a grand global release ceremony in Beijing - because of the participation in the Cannes Film Festival, the premiere has been dedicated, and it can only be celebrated.

In this way, a week before the release of the film, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can completely beat the name through the national variety show "The Voice of the Dragon Country", especially for the main group of moviegoers, young people between the ages of 18 and 30, there should be no one who has not heard of this movie by then.

Although he did not win the "Palme d'Or" at the Cannes Film Festival and was missing a publicity gimmick, the "Best Director" award won by Zhao Zhenghao was not bad enough to be used as a publicity point.

Cannes International Film Festival, as one of the film festivals with the longest history in the international film industry, is slightly better than the three major international film festivals in the Dragon Country in terms of grade, specifications, and status in the circle.

Moreover, because of its tenet of "combining business and art", it has slightly ahead of the Venice International Film Festival and the Berlin International Film Festival of the same level in terms of influence in recent years, becoming second only to the Academy Awards.

Therefore, the "Best Director" it selected is still full of gold.

Dragon Kingdom films have risen in an all-round way in recent years, not only the domestic market is booming and booming, but also in the international arena, but so far there are no more directors with the "Best Director" trophy in hand, including the Cannes International Film Festival, and there are no more than the number of hands.

Among them, Zhao Zhenghao is not only the youngest winner of the "Best Director" award at the Cannes International Film Festival, but also the youngest when compared to Venice and Berlin.

Although being young means having shallow qualifications, it also means that there is infinite potential!

Even now, no one calls Zhao Zhenghao a "leader of young directors", he has achieved the grand slam of "Best Director" at the three major international film festivals in Longguo, and holds the "Best Director" trophy at the Cannes International Film Festival, he has gone beyond the category of "young director", which is enough to be compared with the fifth generation of directors such as Hu Zhenlong, Li Cheng, and Tian Genqi.

Especially in the eyes of young people, Zhao Zhenghao has more appeal than those old gang dishes!

……

Because he had such a propaganda weapon as "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom" at hand, Zhao Zhenghao decided not to participate in other variety show promotional activities, but pushed those invitations to Yi Ping, Xiang Yazhen, Xie Xin and others, and they had nothing to say.

Moreover, this time, it is really not that Zhao Zhenghao deliberately shirks his responsibility, but there is a legitimate reason - he needs to free up time for the recording of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom".

In fact, before Zhao Zhenghao went to Cannes, the audition for the second season of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom" had been completed.

Before going to Cannes, Zhao Zhenghao also visited the students in the hotel where they stayed, and encouraged them to train hard, and strive to have a good performance when they were officially recording, and were selected by the four mentor teams to step up the ladder of success.

This batch of students, because the base of registration has increased significantly compared with the first season, after careful selection, the overall quality is stronger than the first season.

Among the students who were finally selected for the list of 100 people, there are more than 30 students who are students of professional conservatories or graduates, and there are more than 30 people who have been in the music circle for many years, bar singers and wandering singers, these two types of people account for more than half of the list of 100 people.

Those who have a professional music academy background, solid basic skills, and skilled singing skills, while those bar singers and wandering singers have a lot of experience in performing and can face any situation calmly.

In both respects, they have an advantage over those students selected from among the common people.

However, those students who stand out from the crowd of ordinary people are not without their own advantages, and in general, their advantages are even greater, because their advantages lie in their talents!

has no professional learning experience, and I don't have much acting experience, so I can stand out from millions of people only by talent!

Zhao Zhenghao has not had an in-depth understanding of these students, so he doesn't know how strong their strength is, but according to Wang Yulan and others, among this batch of students, there are several students whose comprehensive quality is not inferior to Wang Zhou, the champion of the first season.

You must know that Wang Zhou has debuted less than a year now, and with her excellent strength and the support of the studio, she is about to sit in the position of a first-line singer.

In the current Dragon Country, although the performance market is active and hot, solo concert tours are not something that can be started casually.

Platter concerts and commercial performances rely on many stars to gather together to attract audiences, and personal concerts can only rely on personal appeal to sell tickets.

Therefore, successfully holding a solo tour is a hard condition for promoting first-line singers! If this condition cannot be met, then the so-called first-line cannot be talked about.

Although here, there are no hard requirements for the scale of the concert, 10,000 people in a concert is not too much, and 3,000 people is not small, but it is still not difficult to successfully hold one or several concerts in major cities in a few months.

Anyone can hold a concert, the key is to sell tickets!

A concert of 10,000 people, only three or five thousand tickets were sold, after the concert opened, what the singer saw on the stage was that there were large and large empty seats under the stage, such a concert, it is better not to open it!

"Zhenghao Studio" decided to hold a solo concert for Wang Zhou, not without a purpose, but after careful market research, the decision was made.

Wang Zhou's first EP after her debut, the sales volume reached the standard of first-line singers, and the market price of subsequent commercial performances was also close to that of first-line singers, which all reflected her popularity and had reached a certain level.

Not long ago, "Zhenghao Studio" helped her release a regular album, although Zhao Zhenghao only dedicated a title song, the other songs of the album were slowly collected by the "Zhenghao Studio" music library in recent years, including two Wang Zhou's personal originals.

The quality of the songs bought from other songwriters is naturally incomparable with the title song taken out by Zhao Zhenghao, and Wang Zhou has just started on the road in terms of originality, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

All in all, this album, except for Zhao Zhenghao's title song, the other songs are just a few of them.

Even so, the music sales of this album still reached 2 million, and it won the first place on the album hot list of the Golden Melody Chart, and the title song dedicated by Zhao Zhenghao sold as much as 200 million in the first week of the single sound source, which is even higher than the weekly sales of the first main track of Yabin's personal original album, and it undoubtedly won the first place on the Golden Melody Chart.

Driven by the title song, the other songs on this album have also sold more than 10 million singles, which is relatively good.

It is precisely because of the hot sales of this album that "Zhenghao Studio" has confirmed Wang Zhou's popularity and has a foundation for landing, so it put forward a plan to hold a solo concert tour for her.

After the plan was proposed, it went quite smoothly, and concert organizers around the country responded positively.

On the company's official website, "Zhenghao Studio" tried to pre-sell tickets for several concerts that had been finalized, and the response of fans was also relatively ideal, and the enthusiasm for buying tickets was quite high.

Judging from the current situation, Wang Zhou's solo tour has a chance of being successfully held more than eighty percent!

If the current "Four Heavenly Kings" of "Zhenghao Studio" - Zhao Zhenghao, Yu Yabin, Feng Xiaojing, and the "Heroic Spirit" band can interact well with Wang Zhou, then the probability of success can rise by another ten points.

Zhao Zhenghao personally cheered Wang Zhou for the stage, which seems a bit too exaggerated, but Yu Yabin, Feng Xiaojing and the "Heroic" band can be Wang Zhou's mysterious guests in one or several concerts!

In addition, the other people in the top ten contestants of the first season of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom", who debuted at the same time as Wang Zhou, although the upward momentum is not as rapid as Wang Zhou, has gradually become the backbone of the Dragon Country song scene, and is an active member of the current commercial performance market of the Dragon Kingdom.
