Chapter 45: A Short Break
After all, the Palme d'Or represents the highest honor of the Cannes Film Festival.
Cannes' influence can be said to be the most dazzling except for the Oscars!
According to the original plan, the award strategy of "Cinema Paradiso" should be like this: first Yang Wei Cannes, using the influence of Cannes to feed back the awards season...
Well, now that the first step fails, it means that everything has to be re-planned...
In fact, in the original time and space, "Cinema Paradiso" did not win the Palme d'Or and lost to "Sex, Lies, and Videotapes".
The movie lost to the pioneer and bold, and it seems that there is also a tradition!
However, no matter how unhappy Xu Hui is, he can only hold back, after all, it is Cannes, not like Jinma, he can scare casually!
The credibility of Cannes is there, and Mr. Bi was ridiculed for forcibly touching porcelain, and Xu Hui didn't dare to be the first person.
forcibly opened, it will only be thought that Xu Hui can't afford to lose, sour...
Besides, the reputation of "Adele's Life" is not bad, and it is suitable for the occasion, and there are still many media who praise the long-awaited...
In fact, for most fans, after watching the opening red carpet and closing red carpet, it is unexpected that the film festival has ended, and it doesn't matter who won the award...
……
Compared with Jia Zhangke's "Destined", "Paradise Cinema" is more like a Chinese movie, talking about the attention of the mainland!
After all, the latter is Xu Hui's movie!
The Cannes Film Festival was not supposed to attract a lot of attention.
Even a bunch of media in the mainland only reported it roughly, except for the red carpet link of the female stars that must be worn every year, few people pay attention to the film festival itself, Xu Hui's Cannes trip has brought countless attention to the film festival, after all, the number of his fans and fans is enough to circle the earth four times!
From time to time, I took a picture of the scenery of Cannes and showed it on Weibo, and immediately there were a bunch of fan comments.
"Paradise Cinema" naturally attracts much attention.
It's not bad to have an actor...
And it's Al Pacino, Al Pacino has won awards at major film festivals around the world, but he lacks a Cannes actor.
The old man has a lot of fans in the mainland, after all, his status in the rivers and lakes is here!
When we talk about the golden age of Hollywood, we are talking about the 70s and 80s, and the actors of that generation can be called superstars.
Al Pacino, one of Hollywood's four great film and television geniuses (Robert's Ronnie, Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman)...
The actors of that generation have left us with too many memories, "The Godfather", "Bloody Queen", "Loyal Adulterer", "The Line of Fire"...
In terms of popularity and influence, Al Pacino is above the other three in China, and his influence on a global scale should not be underestimated!
Even with it, the popularity of "Cinema Paradiso" has also been hyped!
And, don't forget, there's Matt Silly in there!
By the way, on Zhihu, someone actually asked, 'Why is Al Pacino, a man who is not tall and not handsome at first glance, so attractive?'
(* ́艸'*)
Heng Mei coldly pointed at Qianfu!
You're so blind, if I look like that, I don't do anything, I take selfies every day!
……
Throughout May, the box office market in the mainland was particularly active.
Probably because of the 51st gear...
"To Youth" took the lead and won 600 million box office;
"Iron Man 3" fully demonstrates the appeal of Marvel's popular king;
Marvel is really working steadily step by step, developing big IPs one by one...
On May 17, after the release of "Chinese Partner", it has been firmly in the position of single-day box office champion, and as of the 27th, it has won a box office score of 350 million.
To be honest, it has been a long time since there has been a work in the market like "Chinese Partner" that has both word-of-mouth and box office, and has a lot of discussion.
After all, it's a startup boom...
However, compared to "To Youth", the box office of "Chinese Partner" seems to be a bit under-watched...
You must know that "To Youth" directly swiped 500 million box office within ten days of its release!
Or is it a natural limitation of the subject matter!
The entrepreneurial boom does not mean that the movies with entrepreneurial themes are also hot.
In fact, many people think that "Chinese Partner" is a work with a speech and inspirational theme...
Yes, although "Chinese Partner" also has a depiction of youth, it has shifted more ink to entrepreneurship and to the depiction of that background;
Reminiscing about love is much more popular than reminiscing about the era!
Chen Kexin said in an interview that "Chinese Partner" wants to express "the fate of youth and the great era", while the theme of "To Youth" only intercepts one "point" of youth - love, but it is the most shining and most people's memory.
However, Xu Hui is already very satisfied, the production cost of "Chinese Partner" is about 80 million, and it has paid off, and overseas sales are not bad, so far, the export copyright of "Partner" has reached 5 million US dollars...
In recent years, it has become more and more difficult to export Chinese films, and in the past, as long as there was Andy Lau or other well-known actors in any movie, it was very likely to be sold, and the price was not bad.
"Chinese Partner" also screened a few on a small scale in North America, and the box office... It's not too good, the single museum is not 8,000 dollars, and it is estimated that it is difficult to want a large-scale screening...
……
Dusk, study.
The season is close to midsummer, the sun is getting closer and closer to the north, and the daylight time is extended.
Xu Hui sat at his desk, on which a notebook was placed.
On the opposite side is the window, and the slightly dim light shines in, making the whole room glow with a faint faint halo...
He's thinking about the characters, about a couple of characters in Life is Beautiful.
"Qiao Duo, Wang Qianyuan, Qin Aili, Qin Hailu, Second Lieutenant Panasonic, find a Japanese, anyway, they are cheap, Qiao Duo's friend, Wang Haisheng, you can find Lei Jiayin to make a cameo, this Chen Ling, who to find?"
According to the script, Chen Ling is Qin Aili's best friend and her matchmaker, and it is with her encouragement that Qin Aili confesses to Qiao Duo, there are quite a lot of scenes in this role, and she is considered the second female lead...
originally wanted the company's actresses to be on top, but after thinking about it, it was not suitable, damn it, all the traffic Hua Dan, mixed in "Beautiful Life", I always feel a little abrupt...
What about the harem group?
It's quite suitable, but she recently took over a TV series called "The Woman of the Swordsman Family", and she is not only the female number one but also the producer, so she can't leave at all;
Sisi, Tangtang, Yang Xiaohu...
Don't make a fuss, it's more abrupt!
It seems that not only does the company need a few big Tsing Yi to support the façade, but Xu Hui's harem troupe also needs an acting role!
has acting skills, a good image, and it is important to be able to get started with Qin Hailu...
picked up the pen and wrote a few names on the notebook in front of him: Xiao Song Jia is quite good, Tang Wei is also good, and Yuanquan is also very good...
Hao Lei, Yan Bingyan...
There are a lot of good actors, but I don't know if these people have a schedule?
“… Can't you take two days off? Just come back from Cannes and sit in your study? Don't you need jet lag?"
Sisi walked in, holding a plate of cut watermelon in her hand.
“… What a jet lag, I didn't even fly back for half a day..."
took the watermelon, sucked it and nibbled on it, then looked at Sisi who was sitting in his place, and explained, "Oh, that's me casting for a new play!"
“… Why not find someone new?"
