Chapter 40: Returning Home
During this time, the hottest news in the country was not Cannes.
It's not news like a box office hit of a certain movie.
Although Zhang Xinyu relied on the Northeast quilt to occupy the hot search for a whole day, she was still pretending to be on the red carpet in Cannes after all, so the first day of Cannes caused a sensation.
But she only occupied the hot search for one day, and then it was Yang Mi's news, and the video clip of 'Yang Mi's drunkenness was suddenly exposed on the Internet.
Who is Yang Mi?
One of the most popular traffic flowers, although she is already a child's mother, she is still synonymous with hot searches, and the goddess of many people's dreams.
The on-demand rate and spread rate of such a small video on the Internet are amazing, and when you search for Yang Mi on the Internet, there will be a pop-up box in an instant.
Soon, Yang Mi's small video suppressed the news of Cannes.
In addition, Da Mimi was very calm, and directly put a piece of paper at the Chaoyang District Police Station, and the matter quickly became big.
But no matter how big the matter is, it has something to do with Shen Lin winning the Palme d'Or, why ask such a question at such a time?
"Didn't I already say it, that's not Yang Mi, to be honest, I'm disgusted with this kind of thing, why do you want to hype up things that are obviously crimes?"
Shen Lin looked at the reporter in front of him angrily, it was a reporter from "Star Weekly".
I really don't understand that such a gossip media has also appeared on the stage of Cannes in a grand manner!
"However, many people said that it was Yang Mi..."
"Next question!"
Xiao Xu, who has been standing next to him as a public relations, directly stopped this 'reporter' who wanted to continue to investigate.
"Director Shen, do you have anything you want to say to the fans who support you in China when you win the Palme d'Or?"
"Thank you for your continued support, and don't forget to come to the cinema to support my Operation Mekong!"
Although he said witty words, Shen Lin didn't have any funny ideas at all.
A good press conference was immediately given by such a topic and almost went astray!
Fortunately, Gong Li and Zhao Liying won the Cannes Film at the same time, and the reporters saw that Shen Lin had no interest in continuing to answer, so they quickly shifted the target and aimed the microphone in their hands at the two people.
β¦β¦
In any case, the news of Shen Lin's victory in the Palme d'Or quickly dominated all the entertainment and current affairs news headlines in China.
This time it is definitely considered to win glory for the country, especially since he also won two Cannes actresses!
As the director with the widest fan base in the circle, this news quickly occupied the first search of the day.
That's the Palme d'Or, the highest award in Cannes, the top of the three major European film festivals.
Think about last year's "Fireworks in the Day", and think about what Liao was praised for.
In addition, many people know that the reason why Shen Lin filmed "Carol" was because he helped Gong Li out of a bad breath.
You Golden Horse look down on me, look down on Gong Li, and now Cannes has awarded the award to Gong Li and to "Carol", this time it's up to you what you say!
As for Hou Xiaoxian, who also won the best director, it was ignored as a matter of course.
By the way, there are still many netizens @ιζΊε₯ who want to know what this big guy thinks.
In fact, since 1993's "Farewell My Concubine", it is difficult for Chen Kaige to make a new breakthrough, although he has been trying to fight in Cannes again, and has been shortlisted for several films, "Fengyue", "Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin" and so on have been shortlisted for the main competition unit, but unfortunately they can no longer achieve the glory of the year!
After all, Brother Chen Kai is a senior, and his status in the circle is outrageously high, and when he learned that Shen Lin's movie won the Palme d'Or, he wrote directly on Weibo: 'There are talented people in the country, and they have been leading the way for hundreds of years;
Feng Xiaogang, who hadn't interacted with Shen Lin for a long time, also @Shen Lin immediately congratulated: 'Congratulations to Xiao Shen, winning the Palme d'Or, Chinese movies belong to your generation after all!'
It is said that there is nothing wrong with this passage, but the majority of netizens still interpret the jealousy contained in it!
Some netizens even responded: "Why don't you say it this time, 'It's all called that?'"
Zhang Yimou did not open Weibo, but a reporter immediately contacted him and asked him for his opinion, and Zhang Yimou congratulated him very sincerely.
The reporter asked very provocatively, "How many do you think Director Shen Lin can currently rank first in the Chinese director industry?" Zhang Yimou thought for a while and replied: "Whether it is commercial or literary and artistic, Shen Lin's works are more in line with the requirements of this era, and I think he can be called the first person in the Chinese director industry!"
Well, even Zhang Yimou praised him so much, so you can imagine how much Shen Lin's reputation has risen now.
Shen Lin already has a lot of fans, and this wave of powerful fans has completely gained a firm foothold in the director circle!
Many actors have been pursuing the recognition of awards all their lives, in order to be recognized by the public, don't look at everyone's enthusiasm for the popular Xiaohuadan and Xiaosheng, without awards, mentioning that you will always be a traffic Xiaohua or a traffic Xiaosheng.
If you want to be respected, you can only prove yourself with your strength, and the strength of an actor is your acting skills, and the best way to express your acting skills is to win awards.
In the same way, the best way to evaluate a director, in addition to box office results, is of course more intuitive to win awards!
β¦β¦
Bona and Light are very optimistic about Shen Lin's trip to Cannes this time, not only because Shen Lin said before that he will definitely have some gains, but also because the biggest enemy in May, "Avengers 2", has a bad reputation in North America!
"Women's Federation 2" did not premiere at the same time in the world, and Disney for marketing reasons, perhaps because "Women's Federation 1" was too successful, making Disney's publicity team too confident.
"Women's Federation 2" has been released around the world since April 22, of which HK received 64.17 million Hong Kong dollars in 3 days, and the number of moviegoers in South Korea, an important filming location of the film, exceeded 4 million, setting a number of records. As of May 5, "Avengers 2" has achieved about $1.5 billion at the global box office, and breaking the $100 million box office performance of "The Avengers" seems to be just around the corner.
"Women's Federation 2" officially opened in North America on May 1, and won a beautiful result of 97 million US dollars on the first day, becoming the first premiere result in film history, and it won 8.7 billion US dollars in the first three days of the first weekend!
Disney's promotional slogan is $2 billion!
But the producer never imagined that the audience would dislike this movie so much, you must know that sequel movies have always been Hollywood's favorites, especially "Women's Federation 1" exceeded 600 million US dollars at the local box office in North America, second only to Kashen's two movies - "Titanic" and "Avatar", and there are a bunch of Women's Federation fans all over the world.
Marvel's influence has become more and more in recent years, and judging from the box office alone, the box office of "Iron Man 4" exceeded 1 billion US dollars!
The cost of "Women's Federation 2" reached 500 million US dollars, and it is a strong collection of Marvel superheroes, everything should develop in a better direction, and then, dumb fire!
As of May 12, the opening day of the Cannes Film Festival, the North American box office of "Women's Federation 2" has reached 200 million, and the global box office has reached 300 million US dollars!
Obviously, Joss Whedon, the director of the "Women's Federation" series, messed up this time.
