In his previous life, the movie "The Raid" won the Best Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival, and it was at that film festival that the film won infinite scenery. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In this life, Chen Xueqian, a director who has been "famous for a long time", sent this film into the director's fortnight.
For this unit, which is parallel to the main unit of the Cannes Film Festival, the tolerance of Chen Xueqian is amazing, because Chen Xueqian's film actually violates the selection criteria of the Cannes Film Festival to some extent.
But standards have always been used to break, and there was a precedent before Chen Xueqian, which is not surprising.
For the Cannes Film Festival, which is completely operated by a fixed selection team to select films, Chen Xueqian wants to enter it.
Especially after he gave several of his company's films to the largest distribution company in France for distribution. Yes, this world is still the world of capital in the final analysis, and the rules of this world are always capital speaking.
Cannes is not exempt from vulgarity, and neither is the Oscars.
But unlike the Oscars' huge selection team and open lobbying rules. The Festival de Cannes is just a few words.
This is unfair to many directors who are looking forward to making a limelight with it, but it is very good for Chen Xueqian.
Initially, when Chen Xueqian first started to register for Cannes, he actually just wanted to screen it in the non-competition unit, but after the French side learned the news, they took the initiative to find Chen Xueqian. So after a series of consultations, Chen Xueqian's film inexplicably entered the director's fortnight.
Chen Xueqian doesn't know how to evaluate this, in short, if he was still a little in awe of these so-called international film festivals before this, then after this incident, those awe have disappeared completely.
With the pair of Korean sisters named Kim Xiulin and Kim Eun-gi, Chen Xueqian rushed to France to attend the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival.
When Chen Xueqian walked on the red carpet with a calm face, I don't know how many Chinese reporters in the audience recorded this moment with their cameras.
At the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, there were a lot of Chinese journalists.
Therefore, this year, Wong Kar-wai was elected president of the jury of the Cannes Film Festival, and Chinese director Wang Chao was also selected for a kind of attention unit with "Summer in Jiangcheng".
Coupled with Chen Xueqian, an unexpected dark horse, the Chinese media cannot afford not to pay attention to it.
It's just that although there are so many Chinese faces at this Cannes Film Festival, Chen Xueqian's appearance is still the most eye-catching. Because his fame in Europe and the United States is really a big cut off the other two.
You must know that Chen Xueqian's "Hurricane Rescue" was filmed in France and premiered in France. It can be said that his fame in France is by no means unknown.
Even because of the global success of the "Twilight" series of movies, Chen Xueqian is famous in the Western world. Such a person attending the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival will naturally receive countless attention, and this attention is more from foreign media.
Compared with Wong Kar-wai, he is undoubtedly more important in the global film industry, after all, he is also the chairman of the American Hollywood company Summit Entertainment. Although it seems that Wong Kar-wai has thrown Chen Xueqian a few streets away in the artistic achievements of the film, it is obvious that Chen Xueqian's previous ambition was not in the so-called awards at all.
Although Chen Xueqian once bragged that he would make more movies in the future, what happened to you when you immediately ran to make an action movie?
The production cost is 2 million US dollars, and the global box office has increased fivefold on the first day, are you still making movies to make money? Do those who are bent on earning money have to commit suicide?
That's right, when they saw Chen Xueqian, everyone's first thought of him was like this.
In the eyes of many people, he is here to stir up the situation. For a film award that has always been known for its artistry invited a box office harvester to participate in the exhibition, it is even more ironic that Chen Xueqian was invited by the director's fortnight, who had initiated a boycott of the commercialization of the Cannes Film Festival.
But that's the way it is nowadays, and you have to follow it if you want to have a good time.
The whole Cannes Film Festival was undoubtedly extremely boring for Chen Xueqian, but he always kept his composure, he knew that as long as he stayed here, then he would have the opportunity to get his hands on the award that others might not get in their lifetime.
Although he himself does not care about this award at all, it must be admitted that Chen Xueqian needs it very much now.
Because he has risen so fast, if there is no foreshadowing, he is likely to suffer Waterloo in the second half of the year when chasing the Oscars.
When a person's qualifications are too shallow, he will be looked down upon by others, which is undoubtedly unacceptable to Chen Xueqian.
And at this time, domestic public opinion is quite unfavorable to Chen Xueqian, although he is in line with the original intention of pointing out a new direction for Chinese kung fu films, but because of some malicious guidance with ulterior motives, many viewers faintly excluded him from Chinese culture.
For this matter, Chen Xueqian can naturally refute it, but he doesn't think it's nice to have a mouthful of hair with the other party's dog. So he decided to give those guys a nice riposte in another way.
The Cannes Film Festival opened on May 18, and as of May 29, all awards were awarded, and Chen Xueqian also won the Best Film Award of the Director's Fortnight.
When the news was transmitted back to China, the entire network was boiling in an instant.
Although the gold content of this award is far less than the Palme d'Or of "Farewell My Concubine", it is not as good as the countless scenery that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won at the Oscars.
But it was the first time that an action film, which China has always been proud of, won a world-class award.
That's what this award really means.
At the same time, all the voices on the Internet have changed, and all those who have questioned Chen Xueqian and used the legend to oppress people have also consciously silenced.
It's not that this award really makes Chen Xueqian above countless predecessors, but everyone is full of joy at this hard-won glory.
Yes, the Chinese have been absent on the world stage for too long, and the kung fu films that the Chinese are proud of have never been recognized by the mainstream of the world, and even seeing that other countries have a great posture of coming from behind, all the Chinese people are actually depressed in their hearts, but Chen Xueqian's victory is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Chinese people.
Although this award is a bit ambiguous, the Chinese people can't control it. All they cared about at this time was that the Cannes Film Festival was the first of the three major film festivals in Europe, and that Chinese kung fu films were recognized here.
The "Best Action Movie of the Decade" given by Cannes is undoubtedly equivalent to maintaining the dignity of Chinese kung fu films.
In this way, what Chen Xueqian represents is no longer him personally, but has cleverly become the spokesperson of Chinese kung fu films.
After this incident, Chen Xueqian suddenly swept away the domestic controversy against him in one fell swoop. and also paved the way for him to enter the Oscars.
With the Cannes Film Festival as a stepping stone, he will undoubtedly save a lot of doubts when he launches an offensive against the Oscars.
Isn't the real advantage for a reborn being that he can see farther than others?
While others make uncertain decisions about the immediate situation, the regenerate can point out the direction of the future with a far-sighted strategic vision.
And Chen Xueqian has taken this advantage to the extreme.
He knows very well that according to the original history, this year's Oscars should belong to "Infernal Affairs".
But to be honest, Chen Xueqian disagrees that this movie can win the Oscar for Best Picture.
If he makes the best Hollywood picture in his mind, he definitely has a good chance of winning the best picture from the movie "Infernal Affairs".
In addition to this "Infernal Affairs", there is also a chance that "Bomb Disposal Unit", the most discredited and worst-grossing Oscar best picture in history.
already had a plan in mind, Chen Xueqian directly took his sister flower assistant to the United States. In the coming period, Chen Xueqian will shoot a Hollywood textbook movie here.
Strictly speaking, there is hardly a real protagonist in this movie, he is more like a group movie, and everyone's acting skills are tepid and just right.
Many people even feel that the film is somewhat like a documentary. But it is such a movie, but it has accumulated a huge emotional package. When the last release came, all the viewers couldn't help but let off steam.
is such a movie, Chen Xueqian has great expectations for it.
When he flew to the United States and walked out of customs, Chen Xueqian was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.
Looking at the black and oppressive exit hall in front of him, Chen Xueqian really understood that he was really red at the moment.
This kind of red is completely different from the previous kind of red as an author and a director.
Nowadays, this kind of red is completely the kind of red of idol stars, and it is a kind of obsession. It's not that I love him for the joy of his work, but I like him completely.
This phenomenon has a bit of a taste of Justin Bieber.
