There is no shortage of Chinese-language films shortlisted for the main competition at the Cannes Film Festival, on the contrary, there are quite a few.

Europeans really like some of the tones in Chinese movies.

Although it is said that Hollywood movies have really conquered the world, the real strength of American films lies mainly in commercial films, and the achievements in literary films, the United States is really inferior to Europe, including American dramas, which are actually inferior to British dramas in terms of being really powerful.

This is a real situation.

And Chinese films, although their commercialization ability was very poor at the beginning, but in terms of humanistic care from a high vantage point and compassion for people in literary and artistic films, China inherited from the ancient Yanhuang and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in full bloom, and those Europeans inherited from the era of Plato Aristotle and other German and Greek sages, there will really be some places to find common ground.

Of course, Chen Xi's "Gravity" also quickly poked their nerves, and the evolutionary theory and religious sense in the middle made many people instantly interested in this movie.

Chen Xi had been preparing for a trip to Cannes a long time ago, and this year he wanted to win an award at Cannes...... This plays a very important role for Chen Xi personally, as well as for the entire deep space film and television.

At this point, Chen Xi will mediate through various means.

At the same time, this year's plan for deep space film and television is also unfolding.

This year, deep space film and television have shrunk in many places, and some of Chen Xi's future films have begun to be handed over to others to operate.

This includes the cooperation between Chen Xi and many directors, and many films such as "Chinese Partner" and "Heart Flower Road" are in preparation.

As the time gets closer and closer to 2016, the inventory in Chen Xi's head is getting smaller and smaller, so there are fewer things to build from a high position, and more real movie operations are needed. is no longer the state of Chen Xi before.

Having said that, this is the only way to make Deep Space Film and Television from a purely cherished company to a film company with strong vitality and its own box office sources.

This aspect is also what Chen Xi has always been worried about: he is worried that after he loses his future memory, he will be lost to everyone, and he will also take the entire deep space film and television to everyone.

But many things can only be carried out gradually, in fact, the current deep space film and television has a certain inertia in the movie, and this inertia will gradually promote the company to run slowly. And the current young director training program, although it is still in a state of losing money. And there are still a lot of losses, but there are also a few good young directors who will gradually promote the strategic future of deep space film and television, after all, many of their support plans are carefully selected, and those who stand out from them also have real talent and learning, as long as these people go through a period of training, they may not be able to shoot a blockbuster film, but they want to shoot a good box office. It's still possible to have a movie with a bit of word-of-mouth.

So, after these arrangements were roughly completed, Chen Xi also arranged for his new film shooting, which is also the second part of his so-called "space duology". It is also the end of this two-part series, which will be a much larger space world than "Gravity".

In this case, it is only natural that "Gravity" is now preparing for the Cannes Film Festival.

…… May is here.

The news that "Gravity" was included in the main competition unit in Cannes was quickly known by the Chinese media, and it was also hyped up for a while. Constantly reported.

"Cannes! It seems that Chen Xi's new movie will make achievements in true artistry! Some people think a little more far-reaching, and immediately think of the artistry of Chen Xi's films.

Indeed, although Chen Xi's movies have always had a good reputation. However, from "Border Storm" to "The Embarrassment of Thailand", there are not too many philosophical reflections about life and the world that can really be brought to you in the middle.

There are still many people who hope that Chen Xi will achieve something in real film artistry and make everyone think of more things because of his films, so now everyone hears that "Gravity" was shortlisted for Cannes, but there are really a lot of such remarks.

"The Cannes Film Festival! Chen Xi's "Gravity" will definitely be a pretty good movie, otherwise it shouldn't be possible to get to this place! ”

"Chen Xi's film seems to have come to a new height, the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival is not so simple, this is higher than any other competition unit, "Gravity" itself can get such a shortlist is enough to explain the problem, but no one can say for sure, "Gravity" can win any good awards in the end."

…… Among the many voices that "Gravity" is now gaining momentum at the Cannes Film Festival, mainly in China, of course.

In fact, even abroad, after "Gravity" was shortlisted for the main competition unit, it suddenly became even more powerful.

After all, the Cannes Film Festival is a truly global award, which also provides a platform for the films of many small film countries, many countries have no name and no one pays attention, but after the Cannes Film Festival, it will gradually become a world concern.

In fact, this is also a very significant significance in places like the Cannes Film Festival, just like the Oscars, as long as you get a random award, it can be converted into real global box office revenue, after the Cannes Film Festival, a film may get quite a lot of attention.

China is not a big film country in the world, of course, the influence of China's martial arts films is still very large, and some literary films also have a good position, which can be seen from the top ten of the overseas film box office list in the United States.

It's just that the box office of China's local films has been getting higher and higher in recent years, which has led to a decline in the attention of many directors to the overseas box office, and the influence of Chinese films themselves has gradually declined, so the overseas influence of Chinese films has been decreasing in recent years.

In this way, places like Cannes have become a good platform for Chinese films to showcase themselves.

Of course, for Chen Xi, his current fame is already very awesome after "Source Code", and being able to win an award at Cannes is his pursuit.

…… May 12th. In 2012, the 65th Cannes International Film Festival was officially held in Cannes.

Chen regrets that they came to Cannes to know how difficult it is here......

Because of the Cannes Film Festival, Cannes was originally an ordinary town with tens of thousands of people, but now it has suddenly become the focus and center of the world......

A town of tens of thousands of people can become overcrowded in an instant in May of a year.

Over here. Many of the world's biggest directors or movie stars may not really be able to find a place, and if they don't book in advance, they will really likely not be able to find a place to live.

On the contrary, many down-and-out celebrities want to find opportunities here, and some ** people are looking for some elegant rich people here, packaging their identities and making a lot of money...... All kinds of people with different purposes wait here for the start of the annual event.

That's when Cannes will change. state of prosperity.

Although Chen Xi and they booked in advance, they also encountered a temporary price increase from the boss at that time, which made it very embarrassing, and Chen Xi and their group also had more than a dozen. It took a lot of effort to settle down a room here, and it was not easy to get these things done.

Chen Xi and they were invited by the organizer to walk on the red carpet, of course, this is because of "Gravity", Chen Xi himself also wants to walk the red carpet to try. I agreed.

When Chen Xi and Liu Dehua and Liu Tianwang wrapped Zhang Ziyi in the middle and walked on the red carpet on the red carpet, the flash lights crackled, and there was no intention of stopping at all.

Many reporters focused their flashes on Chen. Chen Xi also felt his surging popularity here, it seems, after "Source Code". I have become more and more extraordinary.

Compared with Chen Xi, Zhang Ziyi's popularity in Europe naturally goes without saying, so she now begins to smile and wave her hand, letting the camera freeze her in the middle.

Liu Tianwang's popularity is a little lower, but there are also many people taking pictures of him.

Chen Xi and their group walked slowly.

After all, Cannes is still a place of restraint, and there will be no crazy star-chasing, but Chen Xi still sees his current popularity from the middle.

I also have more confidence in "Gravity".

This time, there are also many Chinese movie stars, including directors and actors, who came to Cannes.

There are two Chinese-language films shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival this year.

One is "Gravity" shortlisted for the main competition unit, and the other is "The Mystery of the Floating City" shortlisted for a kind of attention unit.

So there are also crew members of "The Mystery of the Floating City" on the red carpet today, and the director of this movie, Lou Hua, is also an old face in Europe, and then his "Tuina" has been evaluated very well in European and American countries.

These two crews were invited to the red carpet, so the specifications and treatment in this regard are relatively high, and the attention is relatively high.

"Gravity" is the main competition unit, so it has to be more superior in many places such as the order of the red carpet, of course, this is just superior, after all, they are all Chinese-language films, and it is a good thing to be shortlisted.

However......

At this year's Cannes Film Festival, it was not only the crew members of "Gravity" and "The Mystery of the Floating City" that appeared on it...... In fact, there are many Chinese movie stars who have come here.

This includes the blanket star Fan Binbing, who is now enjoying everyone's flash and camera...... Although it is not known how many of these cameras are actually coming at her.

Today's Fan Binbing is dressed quite uniquely, with heavy makeup, red lips and white face, and the shape on his head does not know whether he wants to follow the style of the Tang Dynasty or imitate the Japanese geisha.

Fan Binbing can be said to be an alternative Chinese movie star......

Later, the Chinese movie stars who have appeared on the red carpet in Cannes the most, one is called Fan Binbing, and the other is called Gong Li.

It is worth mentioning that Gong Li has been on the Cannes red carpet so many times because her films are too well-known in Europe.

She starred in "Red Sorghum" opened the golden age of China's fifth-generation directors, the film won the highest gold bear award at the 38th Berlin International Film Festival, "Ju Dou" won the Buñuel Special Award at the 43rd Cannes International Film Festival, "Hang the Red Lantern" won the Silver Lion Award at the 48th Venice International Film Festival, nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film...... "Qiu Ju Fights a Lawsuit" won the Venice Golden Lion Award.

In the most brilliant "Farewell My Concubine" starring Gong Li, this film won the 46th Cannes Palme d'Or, and "Alive" won the Jury Prize at the 47th Cannes Film Festival......

Although some of these are Venice or Berlin awards, but these are all European awards, and she has a lot of awards in Cannes (limited to space to show that everyone is interested in checking for themselves), she was also invited to serve as a judge of the main competition unit of the 50th Cannes International Film Festival in 1997, becoming the first Chinese to serve as a judge of the main unit of the Cannes Film Festival......

is such a Chinese movie star, she has walked on the Cannes red carpet five times......

Well, Fan Binbing also walked on the Cannes red carpet five times, so she and Gong Li tied for first place and became the Chinese movie star with the most appearances in Cannes.

It's just that every time Gong Li walks on the Cannes red carpet, she has heavy works and achievements as support, and Fan Binbing, who has walked on the Cannes red carpet five times, none of the film works she starred in can be on Cannes, even the most peripheral awards.

Therefore, there are some things that everyone tacitly knows, what blanket stars and the like, but they didn't wronged her.

Of course, if Fan Binbing still entered here because of various endorsements, then some other Chinese movie stars are even more embarrassed.

At the end of the red carpet, Cannes offers visitors and many fans of the festival a bonus: they can take photos on the red carpet and feel as if they have walked on the red carpet...... As a result, some Chinese celebrities walked on the red carpet at this link, and then posed as being photographed, and when they returned to China, they walked on the Cannes red carpet...... (I won't name who it is!) Anyway, this kind of thing has happened more than once, because the red carpet tourists take pictures and the normal red carpet is not the same, tourists will have a lot of people packing up their things in the photo session, and there will be a lot of people walking up, so to judge whether a person is really on the Cannes red carpet, you can judge whether a person is really on the Cannes red carpet, you can see from the background, there are more people in the background, that is very suspicious, if the background characters are very clean, then you can also make a positive judgment).

…… Chen Xi also knows that so many things are happening now, but he can't control it himself, he is now mainly preparing for the Cannes premiere of "Gravity"! (To be continued......)
