For Chen Xi's fans, their hearts are really excited.

Chen Xi really did not disappoint them, and the fact that his film can now receive such high praise at a film event like Cannes is enough to show the quality of "Gravity", which makes a group of people like them look forward to Chen Xi's next films even more.

It's just that it will take them two or three months before they can see "Gravity" on the movie screen in Chinese mainland.

…… Not to mention domestic fans, Chen Xi has been waiting for the awards after Cannes for the past two days, and their public relations team has been working hard.

If it is the previous Cannes Film Festival, public relations is not very useful, the biggest possibility is that although a lot of money is spent, but in the end it is useless.

But these two years have really been different......

The financial crisis in Europe and the United States in the past two years has seriously affected the film industry, and there is a lot of copper smell in a seemingly spotless film festival like Cannes, which makes people feel the risks and crises hidden in it.

For example, Chen Xi and they now have a certain possibility of operation, and Chinese films still have a certain amount of energy in this regard, so Chen Xi has done a lot of things that their public relations can do so far, and the next thing is to see the final result.

After all, these things are not as good as heaven.

If he can get the Cannes award, it will be a very important thing for Chen Xi now, and it will also be of great help to him.

…… During these days, Chen Xi and they faced a lot of things, including a lot of chats and conversations with some European filmmakers.

It is also very important to expand the network in this regard, although these countries and regions are not a humane society, but if you can have more roads and meet more people, you really can't say that you will be able to use it one day, and if you take 10,000 steps back, even if you really can't use it at all. It can also broaden your horizons.

Chen Xi also attended several cocktail parties.

It's a bit of a pity that in these places, Chen Xi's language may still face obstacles at times, but Chen Xi has no problem conversing in English, and his pronunciation is quite standard.

If it was Chen Xi in the past, although his English was good, it was only above the level, but after the fusion of the two souls, Chen Xi's English level improved by leaps and bounds, almost the same as a native native, and there was no problem with many film professional dialogues for him.

But now in Cannes many people speak in French......

There are quite a few people in the world who know French. Especially for some people who are a little upper-level, Chen Xi can only see if there is time in the future, after all, it is still very tiring to re-master a language, and it also requires a lot of objective conditions.

Of course, Chen Xi still knows a lot of people, and also lets many European filmmakers know themselves or know themselves better.

In addition, the thing that Chen Xi faces the most these days is that many overseas filmmakers want to buy the copyright of "Gravity" in the country and region.

This matter is really not small, and there are many filmmakers who come to buy the copyright.

In fact, Chinese films still sell well in some overseas places, especially if they can appear at some film festivals. Many Chinese-language films just hope to be shown at European film festivals, and then some film companies buy the rights to recover the costs, and if they can, they can make a small profit.

This model, even in the era when the box office in Chinese mainland has reached tens of billions of dollars, is still like this, after all. Not every Chinese-language movie can really get a piece of the box office of tens of billions.

Chen regrets that they still insist on cooperating in some countries and regions where the cinema system is relatively complete and the box office capacity is not small, but in some other small countries. Just sell the copyright and sell the copy.

And so, within ten days. Chen Xi: They have sold the rights to "Gravity" to 39 countries and regions......

This kind of selling volume is still quite terrifying, after all, this is close to forty, and you know that this is a relatively terrifying number when you think about it.

And these are all small film countries, of course, at this point, it shows the current influence of "Gravity", but it has to be said that for this reason, even if the copyright of 39 countries and regions is sold, it only brings 10 million US dollars to Deep Space Film and Television.

However, these things are better than nothing, and you can't even use such an idiom, after all, such a lot of money is actually a lot of money.

If it is changed to other movies, so much money is enough to recover the cost.

…… However, for Chen Xi, selling overseas rights is just icing on the cake, and what he is most looking forward to now is whether "Gravity" can finally get a good award from Cannes, although it is already a pretty good thing that the film itself is shortlisted for the main competition unit, but Chen Xi still wants to get an award directly.

It's finally time for the awards!

During this time, in addition to the premiere in which Chen Xi participated, "Gravity" was also played four times, and the frequency of such broadcasts was also relatively high, and every broadcast of this movie brought a lot of excitement and endless applause.

It is precisely because of these later screenings that "Gravity" is now valued by so many overseas film companies, and because of these screenings, "Gravity" has accumulated more word-of-mouth fire, and these people will return to their own countries and regions to spread the viewing experience brought to them by "Gravity", and within the next time, "Gravity" will open up a smooth road to a certain extent.

The day...... Awards Ceremony!

Today, May 27, is the closing ceremony of Cannes, and it is also the time for the official award ceremony.

Chen Xi, Liu Dehua and Zhang Ziyi appeared on the red carpet again, although today is already the closing ceremony, and Chen Xi and they have also appeared once or twice, but there are still so many cameras aimed at them.

The smiles on the faces of Liu Dehua and Zhang Ziyi today are from the heart, and they are the real feelings of their hearts, after all, the word of mouth brought by "Gravity" now makes them smell that some movies are about to copy "Source Code" in the world and even go beyond it.

Zhang Ziyi's international influence has declined a lot in the past two years, while Liu Dehua. He has not been well-known internationally, and his popularity is more concentrated in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

As a result, the two are also a little happy about the reputation of "Gravity", and they also have more respect for the director Chen Xi, and they may still have some admiration and surprise in their hearts.

After the red carpet ceremony, everyone was seated, and this year, the jury will award seven awards: the Palme d'Or, the Grand Jury Prize, the Best Director, the Best Screenplay, the Best Actor and Actress and the Jury Prize, out of 19 films in competition......

The huge scene was filled with black crowds......

Most of the film award ceremonies in the world actually have the same thing, and the core is almost like that.

Chen Xi has participated in several film festivals before, and they all have this feeling now.

Chen Xi and Zhang Ziyi found a suitable place to sit down.

Things on the red carpet have finally come to an end.

This year's Cannes is really lively. Even for the Chinese entertainment industry, let's not talk about Fan Binbing's matter (if you say more, everyone will think that I am hacking her), this year's Cannes is really a place of right and wrong, many Chinese stars have come here, some are rubbing, and some are purely cheating.

And this year, there is also an incident here, which makes people feel a little ashamed, that is, Yang Mi was ejected by the security guards on the red carpet, of course, their official response is that this is not the case. The security guard just reminded her that she should go over there to take pictures, but the truth of the facts, the eyes of the crowd are also bright......

Not to mention these bad things, this year's "Gravity" was shortlisted for the main competition unit, which means that they are very competitive for these awards. There is a good chance that you will get several.

Chen Xi's goal is also unclear...... But he still hopes that "Gravity" will get awards for director, screenplay, jury, Palme d'Or and so on. And not the actor and actress...... There is a bit of selfishness here, but I have to say that Liu Dehua and Zhang Ziyi are acting very well here. Especially Zhang Ziyi, even more.

Zhang Ziyi is also a strong contender for Best Actress.

After a long wait, the award ceremony officially began......

This year's Best Actor went to Danish actor Hannibal Mikkelsen, who won the award for "The Hunt," where Liu Dehua has dropped out of the competition.

There is no point in this result.

Chen Xi also watched the film "Hunting", which was well made, a typical Nordic film, but this movie's description of human nature, the cost and consequences of lies have a detailed performance, and the fate of the male protagonist brought about by a little girl's lying makes people shudder.

Why do people not hesitate to believe in children? A multifaceted mirror of society brought by a lie...... A lot of things have been explored in this movie, and the actor is also very good, and he deserves to win this award.

The person who presented the trophy to the actor was Gong Li, she was a special guest, and she said a few words of Mandarin on the stage, which attracted a round of applause from the audience, and the last French kiss ceremony was also familiar.

The other one or two awards that followed had nothing to do with Gravity.

All the way up to Best Actress...... It's a pity that Zhang Ziyi's neck was stretched and she still found that they didn't get this award, and the movie that won the best actress was the Romanian film "Beyond the Mountain", and among the awards for best actress here, there was also a double yolk egg: the two little-known actresses Smina and Christina both won the "Actress" trophy......

Chen Xi could feel Zhang Ziyi's loss, but there was no way to ......

In fact, Chen Xi felt that Zhang Ziyi acted much better than the two actresses in that movie, but there was no way to ...... Maybe it's for the sake of balance, maybe there's some big prize waiting for Gravity?

Afterwards...... to the Grand Jury Prize.

The Grand Jury Prize is the second most valuable award after the Palme d'Or...... For this award, Chen Xi is also looking forward to it.

The award presenters on stage deliberately sold a pass: "The film that won the Grand Jury Award is ......"

At this time, the creators of movies such as "Reality" and "Angel's Portion" are all looking at the guest on the stage, hoping to hear the name he reads.

"Chinese movie, "Gravity"!"

"Whew!"

Hearing this, Chen Xi felt that the heart he had just been lifted fell to the ground in an instant, and he finally won the award! And it is also a golden award such as the Grand Jury Prize, but compared to the Palme d'Or, Chen Xi is still a little disappointed.

After all, if you win the Grand Jury Prize, you will not be able to win the Palme d'Or.

At this moment, Chen Xi walked directly onto the stage, and his steps were not slow.

Today, Chen Xi is dressed in a black suit, with a bow tie on the shirt inside, and the dress is decent, but his face is not only super handsome in China, but in the eyes of Westerners, but also because of his three-dimensional and beautiful eyes with a little ethnic minority style, I think this person is really handsome!

And Chen Xi's figure is not terrifyingly tall, but he is not short, his figure is just right, he is seven or eight meters tall, and he is deliberately wearing a 5CM inner height today, which makes his whole person look very tall.

The moment Chen Xi received the trophy, the flash was shining everywhere, freezing Chen Xi's face in their photo...... Those who know Chen Xi because of "Source Code" will be reminded of his existence again through this, and many fans will know Chen Xi better.

His appearance and somewhat legendary experience, coupled with the past of directing and acting in the world of "Source Code", are destined to make Chen Xi one of the most discussed directors in the film circle recently.

Chen Xi looked at so many reporters at this moment, saw so many foreign faces, different skin tones and different hair colors...... There are also different faces, all staring at themselves at this time, and a kind of pride can't help but arise spontaneously......

…… When Chen Xi returned to his seat after speaking, many people were still watching him, but, further down, the Best Director and the Palme d'Or had nothing to do with "Gravity".

"Gravity" also ended the Cannes journey with a position in the Grand Jury Prize.

Soon, the news has spread to China, and some people saw it in the live broadcast, and all of a sudden, the Chinese film industry was almost boiling, and all kinds of voices emerged one after another.

Moreover, Chen Xi's photos and his "Gravity" and many other things are also spreading rapidly around the world. (To be continued......)
