Chapter 131: Cannes, This Is Just the Beginning

Chapter 131 Cannes, this is just the beginning

Zhang Le soon gave Wu Xiaoyong a sample of the two songs, as for whether he would get what he wanted with the song, it was not what Zhang Le had to consider.

And Zhang Le didn't dare to mention this matter to Yang Xin'er at all. just said that he wrote two songs to Wu Xiaoyong.

Wu Xiaoyong, Yang Xin'er naturally knows about it, and she also knows that although Zhang Le's relationship with him is not as good as Feng Lei and Tang Xiao, he is also one of Zhang Le's few friends.

Wu Xiaoyong's reputation is not very good, especially as a girl, she has no good impression of his flowery heart. However, the man was not without merit. At least, he is still extremely righteous towards his friends, and he does not have the domineering of the average rich second generation.

"It's a pity that it's a good song." Yang Xin'er listened to the sample of Zhang Le's song and said with some regret.

"The song "Itch" is not for you to sing!" Zhang Le smiled and said.

"I'm talking about 'The White Fox.'" Yang Xin'er smiled and said.

"Itch" is naturally a good song, and Yang Xin'er can also hear it, but she doesn't like this type of song, and she can't sing the kind of taste expressed in the song, so it's not an exaggeration to say that it's not suitable.

"Itch" is a very special word.

In the world, materialistic desires are rampant, and everyone will inevitably be more or less "itchy" in their hearts, and the sentence in this song: "Think more and think more about who knows how to appreciate, just wait for someone to share with you", but it is really for everyone to break the mystery and scratch the itch.

"Come on, be happy, there's a lot of time anyway; Come on, wandering, there is a lot of direction anyway", this is how free, but also how lonely, a person is afraid of loneliness, two people get along hard, modern people often "itch" because of this.

In the light and smooth melody, the erhu and Xiao, guzheng, and pipa are graceful and beautiful, and the music rhyme seems to be frozen in the untraceable notes.

This song fully meets Wu Xiaoyong's requirements for songs. As for Wu Xiaoyong himself or Huang Fei himself, it is unknown.

However, it is quite appropriate for Huang Fei to sing such a song.

"White Fox" is undoubtedly a touching boutique song, but it is not a classic. However, it fits the theme song of that movie better than many classic songs.

"'White Fox' is the theme song of a movie." Zhang Le said.

When Yang Xin'er heard this, she nodded and didn't say anything more. Zhang Le wrote the theme song of the movie and is very famous in the circle. The theme song written for a movie, the song is sung to others, and naturally there is nothing to say. What's more, Yang Xin'er is not the kind of person who will be jealous because Zhang Le writes songs for others.

Time enters May, the opening of the Cannes International Film Festival is imminent, Zhang Le and Yang Xiner took the film's creator to Cannes in a low-key manner, and the premiere of the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is also coming.

If the Oscar is the ultimate goal of the world's commercial films, then the Cannes Film Palme d'Or symbolizes the top laurels of the world's art films.

It is not the first time that Yang Xin'er has participated in the Cannes Film Festival, but Zhang Le is. However, the specific operation does not require Zhang Le to do it himself. Although Xinle Film and Television has not been established for a long time, it has developed rapidly. Moreover, Yang Xiner has dug up a lot of experienced talents in other film and television companies.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a martial arts film, at least in the garb of martial arts. Whether it is Cannes in the previous life or Cannes in this life, no director has won this type of award by relying on a martial arts film or a kung fu film.

In fact, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" even withdrew from the competition directly for fear of not winning the award and affecting the film's distribution abroad, and changed it to an exhibitor film.

Before Ang Lee filmed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he was already very famous abroad. What's more, the investors of the film are Hollywood studios, and for those companies, I am afraid that they pay more attention to the global box office. The Palme d'Or in Cannes doesn't necessarily matter. Exiting the competition unit, Ang Lee may not be able to influence it.

But it is an indisputable fact that this film caused a sensation at the film festival.

Zhang Le does not have the pressure of producers and investors like Ang Lee, nor does he have such big international box office ambitions. is not as famous as him, and there is not much pressure at all if he wins the lottery or not.

When Zhang Le, Yang Xin'er and Yang Liu, another star of the film, got off the plane in Paris, the company's early-arrived staff were already waiting outside the airport.

"Brother Jie hasn't come to Cannes yet?"

Coming to the apartment rented by the company, Yang Liu asked Zhang Le. The entire crew, who is somewhat famous in the international arena is undoubtedly Li Jie. If he comes, he will definitely attract a lot of media attention, and it will definitely be an excellent thing for the promotion of the movie.

"It should arrive tomorrow!" Zhang Le smiled and said.

He thought that Li Jie would be absent from Cannes like the protagonist in his previous life. However, what Zhang Le didn't expect was that Li Jie seemed to be quite interested in this film festival.

The Cannes Film Festival is extremely impartial, and it does not need to spend money to open up joints and create public opinion like the Oscars. After the film is handed in, just wait for the news. Perhaps, this is because he and Oscar are fundamentally different in artistry.

The next day, Li Jie arrived, which immediately attracted the attention of countless media, among which the most concerned was naturally the major media in China.

This kung fu superstar, who has been criticized by countless people for his acting skills, appeared at the Cannes Film Festival, and it is difficult not to attract attention.

Of course, Zhang Le didn't know that when he, Yang Xin'er and others arrived in Cannes, the domestic media had already quarreled. For Zhang Le to participate in the Cannes Film Festival with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", many people were still stunned.

Since Zhang Le's debut, he has shot two films that are commercial. No one can associate Zhang Le with an artistic film festival like Cannes. Moreover, the leading actor is still Li Jie, who has been criticized for his poor acting skills. What makes them even more unimaginable is that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is still a martial arts film.

Shame on yourself!

This is the evaluation given by countless media to Zhang Le to participate in the Cannes Film Festival with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

They don't believe that Zhang Le has any attainments in art films, and they don't believe that the acting skills of Li Jie and Yang Xin'er and other leading actors will be favored by Cannes, let alone that a martial arts film can be loved by Cannes.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not for exhibitions, but for competitions. There is a lot of singing and declining in China, and no media, or even many people think that Zhang Le's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can enter the competition unit of Cannes.

However, there are many different voices on the Internet. Especially when Cannes sent back "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" into the competition unit, countless netizens made bold statements and sat back to watch Zhang Le slap his face.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a martial arts film, which did not attract much attention from foreign media at the beginning, and even the appearance of Li Jie on the promotional poster was ridiculed by some media who are familiar with him.

Li Jie's acting skills have been criticized, not only at home, but also abroad. Even many people know that Li Jie's development in Hollywood, acting skills are the biggest obstacle to his further development.

And when it entered the competition unit, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" really entered the eyes of everyone, but it became popular in an unexpected instant.
