Chapter 708: It's Not What It Used To Be
The results of "Hurricane Rescue 2" are undoubted, creating a record for the total box office of Chinese films, with a global box office of 3.3 billion, which is undoubtedly the most eye-catching and dazzling pearl last year.
This year's Academy Awards, it's not that there are no tickets for this movie, Yang Yichen was shortlisted for Best Actor, but everyone knows that last year's first part failed to make him the actor but relied on "Dear" to defeat Liang Chaowei to win the actor, this year's face of Liang Jiahui, from the beginning of the selection, no one is very optimistic about Yang Yichen, and the facts have proved that he has not yet reached the point where the Academy Awards ignore everything and fully support him.
It's really too busy, it's impossible for the actors to arrive at the awards ceremony every time to support, some time ago, including the filming of the running man, had to be moved to LA, and let him return to Xiangjiang again, Lao Lu can't say it, this is the filming of "Twilight", if the filming is not finished, it means that Cannes is taking a few days off, in Hollywood, actors' leave is different from the art scene in Asia.
Hollywood gives you a super high salary for actors, what you want is for you to focus on filming, not to mention that after the start of filming, it is normal to get the role three or five months in advance before the start of filming, and then carefully craft the role, in this regard, we are indeed lagging behind, the actor and the star are not clear, always entangled because of the schedule, and the artist cannot be blamed, sometimes it is indeed very helpless, you need to make money and need to support the assistants around you, the star is not so popular, don't take this opportunity to make enough money, There is a good chance that you will regret it later. During the filming process, it is customary to take time off to participate in some activities.
Yang Yichen had to give up participating in the Academy Awards, and for this reason, he also called the responsible staff of the organizer to explain. Regardless of whether the other party is happy or willing, his attitude is not something ordinary people can have. If you don't come, at most, you will send your agent to inform him, he can do this, it is an explanation to himself, and he has a clear conscience.
On his side, the media will not miss any opportunity to attract the public's attention, you participated in Cannes, you did not participate in the Academy Awards, this is where the media criticized you, needless to say. A few words with a gun and a stick are enough for you to choke.
The main reason why the media is talking about this is because no one thinks there is any difference between going to the two awards, they are just lively and lively, you can't win the award at the Academy Awards, and Cannes is a war film made by a comedy director? People are international awards, so they naturally want to go, and the Academy Awards on our side are small awards, and if they don't come, they won't come, besides. Chen Tsai has already won the actor, and he doesn't have such a big luxury here, of course, he has to go to Cannes first and walk the red carpet over there. People are international superstars now, can they be the same?
There are not a few media outlets that speak in a similar tone, and the Internet is even more unscrupulous. There are many people who don't like you, and they will criticize you in various ways. As long as they can get you hacked, then they will be happy. Virtuous people are jealous, you are too good, the more people will question and oppose you, and the happier they will be to see you unlucky, I can't climb that high, don't climb up.
By the time Yang Yichen set foot on the passionate Cannes beach, similar news had been greatly fermented, the art world is such a place, the news that can attract people is good news, more and more media are doing everything to have gimmicks, they even began to care about the accuracy of the news, just to win more attention for themselves within the time limit, earn more benefits, hurt who or affect whom, even if there is guilt in the heart, it will not be expressed, dead friends do not die poor, If you want to survive better, someone must have to pay for your life.
As soon as he arrived, there was a media to track him, such a luxury behavior as a private jet, even in the world art scene, is considered a luxury thing, and there are only a few things that can be owned, and the goal is very big, plus the opening of the Cannes Film Festival in the past few days, "The Assembly" is also a film screened, and there is a lot of publicity, Yang Yichen was shortlisted for the final actor competition and added a lot of color to this film, in the past few days, the news from the jury, Yang Yichen's performance is very good, Now everyone has a little doubt that the film does not add much to his role.
After the news came out, Xiao Gang Cannon smiled helplessly with a little embarrassed embarrassment, and it was almost clear that the film "Assembly" did not have good feedback in the European market, most of it is understandable, war commercial films, in the relatively more literary Cannes are naturally not popular, but in any case, the actor is good enough but he lost the actor because the film did not give him extra points, it must be embarrassing for the director, so after Yang Yichen arrived, Xiao Gang Cannon frowned when he saw him: "I knew I wouldn't let you come." ”
"Dao'er, you're thinking too much, do you really think I'm here because I can get it? It's a good atmosphere, I have to come and participate, otherwise wouldn't it be a pity, I haven't been to Cannes yet, so it's a short vacation for myself. ”
Xiao Gangcang smiled bitterly: "You can really have fun in bitterness, but since you said so, I will take it seriously, so as not to be unable to sleep at night." ”
Yang Yichen smiled: "It's good to be serious, it's good to be serious." ”
The Cannes Film Festival is very lively, Yang Yichen made himself an ordinary audience, his mentality is very good, there is no sense of gain and loss, in addition to too many fans and media, he has been very comfortable in the past two days, watching movies every day, listening to discussions, watching some more jerky art films, inviting a few friends to chat about this year's films in the evening, and did not avoid suspicion, and the next day he publicly visited Wang Jiawei, who is also the chairman of the jury this time. The media gave crazy coverage to this incident, and Yang Yichen was also forced to accept an interview with the media this time.
"Mr. Yang, do you have any thoughts on this trip to Cannes?"
Yang Yichen smiled: "Then I won't pretend to be stupid, since you want to ask me if I have any thoughts about the actor, I don't deny it, no one can resist the temptation of the actor, but I hope you take a closer look at our movie, it is not a commercial film in the simple sense you think, maybe there is a cultural surprise that you can't understand, but this does not deny its status in my heart, even if it is not a great movie, it is by no means an ordinary movie." ”
"Chen Zai, can you tell the audience about your new movie? It is said that you have been busy for a long time and missed the Academy Awards, so now, have you finished filming? ”
Faced with this problem, Yang Yichen had already been mentally prepared, but he didn't expect that the current reporters are all sharp to such a point, perhaps because he learned that the opportunity to interview himself was not easy to get, so he had less scruples when he came up, and went straight to the point, with sharp words, pointing directly to the fact that he did not go to the Academy Awards but came to Cannes, obviously he was also playing a trick on him, and if he didn't answer correctly, he was likely to be caught by the media and write about it.
"It's all been filmed, and I won't disappoint you, so please look forward to it. I know what everyone wants to ask, I don't shy away from it, it's coming, there's nothing to explain, this is a new film, and as a member of the crew, I have the responsibility and obligation to help promote the new film, it's as simple as that. ”
The media didn't expect that Yang Yichen really dared to answer this question completely head-on, and originally planned to continue digging pits, expecting to dig out more things, but this time he was stunned by Yang Yichen's 'outspokenness', and was immediately preempted by foreign reporters who didn't care about this matter at all and didn't understand it, and asked two questions, after Yang Yichen answered, he nodded and smiled at everyone, and turned to leave.
Until the final awards ceremony, Yang Yichen did not accept any media interviews, and comfortably became a real filmmaker, participated in the Cannes Film Festival at their favorite film carnival, and felt the charm of the Cannes Film Festival as an audience.
During this period, he also read a few scripts and met a few directors, after all, one of his current identities is the helmsman of the brother group, a film investor with a certain reputation, known as the title of star-making helicopter, and the scripts flowing out of his hands are made into film and television dramas, so far, there has been no failure, although these names are only within the scope of China, but it does not prevent some low-cost film scripts from coming up, looking for people to invest, he will not care who invests, The important thing is that the funds are in place and you have as much control over the film as possible.
What happened to Huaxia?
It is no longer a weak country, we must admit that China's economy has begun to enter the world's eyeballs, and many Chinese businessmen and investors are gradually rising in the world, and the film branches of the Brother Group have opened in the United States, and they can acquire top special effects companies such as Y-Y-C, and find Yang Yichen in Europe to invest in films, which is undoubtedly a small trend at the Cannes Film Festival. Although the amount of investment in a stake in a brother cinema chain has not been announced or confirmed by anyone, it is known that the investment amount will not be less than 100 million euros.
In such a situation, Yang Yichen went to Cannes, not only as an actor nominated for the best actor, but also as an investor in the film company, so that he received several invitations, and he could be an audience and a participant at other times, but almost every night at dinner, he would rush to some dinners, and he refused all the bad, all he did was to reject the outside of the art industry, push Song Meiru out, and arrange Song Meiru's itinerary to Europe to discuss cooperation a few days later.
