Chapter 627 - Who Blows More Badly
(Order!)
"Director Li, take the liberty of asking, do you have any other ongoing film projects in hand right now? It doesn't mean anything else, that is, I just have a good script in my hand, and I want to invite you to take a look, and if I have the opportunity, I would like to work with you. ”
The next day, taking advantage of the interval between voting, Fu Luo took the initiative to find Li Yu and chat.
In fact, he has had such an idea for a long time, and the reason why he has waited until now to say it is because he wants to be a little familiar with it before opening this mouth, and today's opportunity is just right.
After getting along these days, the two who are both Chinese still have a good chat, at least much better than other people who are polite on the surface.
"Fu Luo, you are too polite, I don't know what type of story you are talking about, and then it is a Chinese film?"
Although he was very surprised to hear Fu Luo's words, he was idle, and he really didn't have any confirmed projects in his hands, so Li Yu was also a little curious in his heart.
As for the special question whether it was a Chinese film, he didn't mean anything else, but he felt that the system in the mainland might be different, and there would be many creative factors and restrictions.
He has filmed "Lust and Caution" before, so he is deeply touched by this aspect, if the script that Fu Luo said is a Chinese film, Li Yu naturally has to think more about it.
"It's not a Chinese film, it's a drama film about an American story, probably about a middle-aged man who fell into a depressed life for a long time because of the unexpected death of his daughter, until one day his brother also died of illness, leaving only a nephew who needs guardianship, and then there are many stories between the two. ”
Hearing this, he didn't say anything, Fu Luo directly gave Li Yu a brief description of the general main plot.
"Well, is there a detailed script?"
After hearing Fu Luo's words, Li Yu really became very interested in it, and this story sounded like a story that was very attractive to him as a whole.
"Yes, by the way, Director Li, do you usually use your e-mail? If you use it, I can send it to your e-mail when I go back, so that it will also be done. ”
In fact, in his memory, Li Yu has expressed his admiration for "Manchester by the Sea", so Fu Luo had the idea of finding the other party to direct.
And that's right, the script he said was "Manchester by the Sea", he had already written the script and registered the copyright a year ago, he originally had the idea of making it into a Chinese film, and even had the idea of looking for Zhang Yi to direct.
But it has not been implemented, it is really that there are too many restrictions in the domestic environment, and Lao Mouzi's "superbirth" incident has suddenly erupted recently, which must have made him very annoying, and even affected his personal state.
And this time, he was able to serve as a judge at Cannes with Li Yu, and Fu Luo thought about it again.
As we all know, Li Yan is a director who studied in the United States, and he has an American mindset, and if the other party directs "Manchester by the Sea", he will definitely be the best candidate.
"Yes, then I'll tell you your email address, it's ......"
Hearing Fu Luo's words, Li Yu agreed in one bite, and when he encountered an interesting story, he finally wanted to find out.
"Okay, I'll send the script to Director Li when I go back to the shop in the evening. ”
Li Eucalyptus's email address is also very easy to remember, that is, ang-lee plus the email suffix, Fu Luo can easily remember it.
At about this time, the vote was about to take place again, and the two ended chatting and returned to the "round table" to continue another round of arguments.
It is said that at this time, it won the Best Screenplay Award, and several rounds have been conducted, and Fu Luo has always voted for "The Ballad of the Drunken Country" directed by the Coen brothers in the United States, a story about loser.
The charm of this movie lies not only in the charm of the folk songs in the movie, but also in the fact that the plot of the film serves the music while also allowing the dream to be sublimated.
It's not an inspirational movie, and the story itself doesn't have many complicated twists and turns, just a biography that depicts the male protagonist of a folk singer on a life journey in 1961.
The confusion, confusion, and helplessness of the male protagonist in the movie are rendered through the music, making it more sincere and resonant, and the perfect combination of light and shadow and music makes the movie very touching at the final ending.
This story is really good, there are not too many erotic ~ erotic and violent content that Fu Luo doesn't like very much, anyway, it is very in line with his taste, so he insisted on voting for the best screenplay for "Drunken Country Folk".
Like him, it was Nicole's sister who voted for this movie, and four of the others voted for "Destined", which was very large, and it was only one vote away from finalizing.
It's just that Fu Luo was a little hesitant, if he could fight for a more heavyweight award for "Destined", he would naturally be more willing, but looking at the current posture, there shouldn't be too many opportunities, after thinking about it, he finally decided to vote for "Destined".
In my memory, this movie seems to have won this award, and it seems that the judges have changed him, but he still can't change too many things.
"Ahem, OK, let's start a new round of voting by show of hands!"
Spielberg, as the chairman of the jury, saw that everyone had expressed their opinions and discussed for a while, so he cleared his throat and presided over the vote again.
"I voted for "Heaven is Destined"!"
Soon, when it was his turn, Fu Luo did not hesitate to vote for "Destined", it is estimated that he will vote for others if he does not vote in this round, fortunately, it is so decided, it is better to win a prize than to return empty-handed.
Anyway, Lao Si, the old Jewish man, except for the occasional brain pump, is still a kind personality on the whole, if he changes to a stronger person, just like the bastard, he would have messed up according to his own mind.
For example, if you give all the heavyweight awards to the person you want to give, the selfishness is almost overflowing, and the appearance of eating is exactly the same as that of Mixed Ting, which is ugly.
"I also voted for "Heaven is Destined"!"
With Li Huan's last vote for "Destined", the best editor award was decided.
Next, everyone voted for the best director, best actor, and best actress three awards one after another, which were won by Amat Iscarrat, director of the Mexican film "Haley", Belgenis Beccio, the heroine of the French movie "The Past", and Bruce Dern, the actor of the American movie "Nebraska".
It is said that none of these three people Fu Luoke know, he also just followed the wind in order to save time, and he voted for whoever had more votes, anyway, the result of "Heaven is Destined" is really "destined", so whoever wins the grand prize can do it.
I wonder if other people would give him a "like" if they knew that he voted like this?
…………
When Fu Luo returned to the hotel after a day's work, he immediately heard Jiang Xiaoyu bring him some of the latest news from the Cannes Film Festival.
Among them, the most harmful news he heard was the news that the copyright of "Fuji Detective" and "Di Renjie's Divine Dragon King" and "Frozen Man" were sold.
The former is really a disaster, selling the trading rights of twenty-three countries, the situation is hot, I just don't know how much I can cash in the end, after all, people here like to shoot empty cannons the most, don't make it so embarrassing that only twenty-three countries have asked.
And it's a "god" film like "Fuji Detective", is there really a foreigner watching it?
Even if there is an extra Li Lianjie, it is not very useful, the "Kung Fu Emperor" has really reached the point where he can spend his old age in peace, and he is dedicated to my Buddha, and he can try to become a monk.
It can be said that Lao Li's life is really not as good as Lao Long, he is obviously nine years younger, but he is even more virtual than Cheng Long...... This is probably the life of the individual.
In addition, "Di Renjie's Divine Dragon King" did not have announced and specific information, only said that the copyright was sold in many Asian countries, which sounds quite reliable.
After all, there is still a bit of a market for Chinese films in Southeast Asian countries, especially with the first "Tongtian Empire" as the foundation, "Shendu Dragon King" also has certain advantages.
The last "Frozen Man" also did not release specific information, only saying that 30% of the cost has been recovered, which is really awesome.
You must know that the investment in the promotion of this movie is 200 million Hong Kong dollars, and 30% is just 60 million Hong Kong dollars, which seems to be more harmful than "Fuji Detective", I don't know who blows it more painfully.
It is estimated that it is just an intention, after all, the current movie has not been filmed yet, and when the finished film comes out, it will be "hey, hey, hey".
It's just that there has always been talk about making a sequel in the future, and it is difficult to make a total box office of less than 150 million yuan, and there is still a profit, so there is only one truth...... 1.
