Seeing Sun Li's envious look, looking at Zhang Manyu, who was radiant like a goddess on the stage, Zhang Guorong whispered a smile and comforted him:

"Don't envy her, this is not your stage now, Maggie didn't understand anything when you were so old, as long as Director Li keeps making works, one day, you will also stand there."

"Brother, don't be kidding." Sun Li smiled, not taking it seriously at all.

"Cannes is not an Oscar, but likes Chinese elements very much." Zhang Guorong explained with a smile that he had experienced such a scene when "Farewell My Concubine" won the best picture in 1995, and he didn't think it was impossible to win an award here in Cannes.

In Hollywood, Americans are accustomed to discriminating against filmmakers from all other countries, while filmmakers in all countries in Cannes discriminate against Hollywood people.

And the real biggest climax is in the suspense left in Zuihou, the moment when the new Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron took the stage, everyone snorted, everyone knew that this year's Palme d'Or was going to come out, and among the tens of thousands of films in Shijie, the king of the highest artistic achievement was about to be crowned.

In the minds of most people, the biggest hit this year is Wang Jiawei's "2046", Cannes likes the director's literary atmosphere the most, but this time it surprised everyone.

"The winner of this year's Palme d'Or is......Fahrenheit 911" ~Michael Moore director~"

The big American fat man rushed to the stage with a stubble on his face, and when he received the trophy from Charlize Theron, the audience stood up and applauded.

Most of the people present have seen this documentary film and believe that Wang Jiawei's "2046" is far more artistic than other films, but this is the film award, which is awarded to the best work of this period at the most opportune time.

This is a documentary that reflects reality, reflecting the crimes of the US government military during the Iraq War, and the damage done to the American people in 911, and this film has been banned in the United States, the United Kingdom.

On stage, Michael Moore excitedly took the trophy of the Palme d'Or set in the crystal and kissed it affectionately: "A few weeks ago, we still encountered a lot of difficulties, and now all Shijie can see this movie." ”

In the thunderous applause at the scene, Li Xiaole walked to the side of Wang Jiawei and Liang Chaowei, who were smiling stiffly, shook hands with them and said:

"2046 is the most haode this year, and I like to watch it very much." made Wang Jiawei stunned, why didn't he win the award, this Li Xiaole was even more depressed.

A group of Chinese were amused by his serious expression, and the atmosphere of disappointment was diluted a lot.

At the press conference of the award ceremony, Quentin Tarantino, as the chairman of the jury, was asked by a reporter from New York in an interview:

"Fahrenheit 911 was crudely made, not at all like a movie and more like a TV movie, and it didn't even match the quality of the selected Chinese films."

After Quentin heard this, he said with displeasure on his face:

"What I want to see is not a film with a perfect picture, but a film that can express a point of view and give me an impact, this year's Chinese film films are all very good, I suggest you go and watch "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", although this Chinese film still has a lot of shortcomings, but please take a look at his picture, look at the rhythm of his shots, feel the talent of those who put in the effort behind the camera, and then think about what you just said."

The New York Times reporter who asked the question was also very embarrassed, he actually wanted to talk about the same documentary "Journey", but Quentin misunderstood it as "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb".

Everyone suddenly had a strange feeling, although at this film festival, "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb" did not win a single award, but at this year's awards ceremony, it seems to be the most mentioned Chinese film......

After the award ceremony, the domestic news was flying all over the sky, and many people had already expected the ending of "Do Not Disturb" that did not win the award, but what everyone didn't expect was that even the internationally renowned director Wang Jiawei's "2046" was not received, and now Li Xiaole and Wang Jiawei were discussed together.

"Chinese films are defeated, and Zhang Manyu hugs French films and wins the queen." The big headline of "Southern Entertainment News" made domestic fans sigh, it seems that Li Crazy is still very immature in the world, far from reaching the height of Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, and he can still only be on par with Feng Xiaogang.

And the average movie fan doesn't know that the day after the award ceremony in Cannes is really the most lively day of the entire film festival, and the real most exciting moment for filmmakers, on this day, reporters will not see any stars, directors, or producers in Cannes beaches, hotels, restaurants, and casinos.

Because on this day, all these people gathered on the first basement floor of the movie palace to participate in the largest film trade fair in Shijie.

The film fair has been operating since the opening ceremony, but until today, there have been no major transactions in the past ten days, because all the producers who participated in Cannes are waiting, expecting their works to win an award on the day of the Cannes awards ceremony, as long as any award can multiply the film's overseas market revenue.

Every producer encouraged himself with Ang Lee's originally unknown "Pusher" deeds, thinking that when Ang Lee directed this film with almost negligible cost and no one was interested in it, after winning the Berlin Golden Bear in one fell swoop, he signed a $31 million contract in the snow outside the awards hall.

We don't want 31 million, as long as it's 310,000 US dollars, it's already a fortune.

With this mentality, the day after the end of the awards ceremony, on the basement floor of the Movie Palace, hundreds of display tables built by the crew were densely packed next to each other in the trading area, and everyone was waiting for the buyers of all shijie to make a big purchase here.

The market is full of frowning, serious talking buyers and sellers, from Europe, South America, and Asia.

And with several giant companies in the United States, the largest area of the site, such as "Troy", "Shark Story" and other films can be seen everywhere, these film companies with distribution capabilities, both buyers and sellers, are the target of everyone here.

Unlike in the movie palace, where everyone despises the atmosphere of Hollywood, in the basement, the Americans are the real masters, and their film managers are all bullish here, and the producers of all the films expect to be valued by American studios and become famous, after all, North America is the largest film market in the whole Shijie.

You must know that the local film market in many countries is simply not enough to recover the cost of the film, and almost all of them rely on the support of the North American and European markets.

Even many Chinese films, such as Jia Zhangke and Wang Xiaoshuai, often claim before the film is released in China: "I don't worry about the box office at all, because it has been recycled in overseas markets." "It's because they're often favored by European buyers.

For example, last year's "Hero" sold 58 million US dollars in overseas sales miracles, and the net profit alone was higher than the domestic box office, and Weishenme Zhang Yimou filmed a number of costume films later, it was because producer Zhang Weiping tasted the sweetness in "Hero", so Zhang Yimou finally filmed his costume trilogy.

It also makes sense to think about it, the domestic exhaustion and exhaustion, anti-piracy, propaganda, zuihou sold 200 million box office, and less than 100 million yuan was distributed in his own hands, and he didn't have to deal with any bad things when he went around overseas, so he came back with 400 million yuan, who cares about the domestic market.

However, not every company has an internationally renowned director like Zhang Yimou, and more than a dozen Chinese crews are all in the four corners of a giant booth, all of which are managed by the "China Film Overseas Promotion Company", which is also one of the subsidiaries of China Film Group.

This team of more than 100 people needs to bring films produced by more than 30 film companies in the mainland to participate in the transaction, except for the reception desk of the largest "Ambush on All Sides", where a group of people gathered there to ask the price, the other reception desks were not there at all, and the slightly better one was the reception desk of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", and about 20 people came in the morning to negotiate the price of the film......

At this time, Li Xiaole sat in the small corner on the right, leaning on the cross poster of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", chatting with a group of colleagues from the mainland film industry.

"The fat man named Harvey Weinstein just now is absolutely not credible, did he tell you that he wanted to buy your movie for $200,000 North American rights buyout?"

A group of filmmakers who are much older than Li Xiaole all nodded like garlic, wondering in their hearts how could this director of China Film Xiao Li know? They all asked curiously:

"That Harvey Weishenme can't be trusted?"

"Harvey, he's a liar~!" Li Xiaole sneered disapprovingly: "He must have given you a deposit of $5,000 each, right?" "This insidious fat man doesn't know how many foreign filmmakers he has fooled, and his tricks are tried and tested.

A group of domestic studios opened their mouths slightly, and then looked at each other and said, "You too?" ”

Other North American companies are only willing to pay a maximum of $350,000 for a buyout, but this Harvey, who has a kind smile, offers to buy the North American rights for $100,000 as soon as he comes over, and a group of producers think they have met a good guy.

"He uses this technique in every Cannes Film Festival, first he says that he wants to buy it for 100,000 US dollars, give you a deposit of 5,000 US dollars, and then when you reject all the other film companies, and then after a while he will call and tell you that he thinks it is too expensive, you can not need the 5,000 US dollar deposit, at that time you have no chance to promote it in the overseas market, you can only sell it to him, and then he will open a price of 20,000 US dollars, do you say you can sell it?"
