Chapter 617: May is busy
Travel from Yanjing to Frankfurt, then Marseille and finally take the train to Cannes. The Mediterranean resort, which has a bit of a cold feeling in May, is a little unfriendly to the group from Yanjing. Zhao Danfeng handed the coat to Cai Yinong, in May in Yanjing, the girls had already changed into short skirts. Cannes, with an average temperature of more than ten degrees, is not so friendly to actresses. It doesn't matter to men, it won't be too hot in a suit, that's a great gift.
Every May, the hotels in Cannes enter the mode of loving and living in, and there is no money to get out. Fortunately, Zhao Danfeng no longer has to live wherever the organizing committee assigned, not to mention that the Japanese pay for the amount of food and clothing, even if he pays for it himself. In addition, he is also responsible for showing the princess the great cause of the house, of course, this matter is handled by Shen Bing.
went to the hotel to meet Chen Kexin, and the group held a press conference first. This treatment is not available in "In the Mood for Love". Why, "Evening Mother" sells well in other cities, in the same way, the best selling is Nagisa Oshima's film. It can be seen that as long as it has something to do with shame, if it is a human being, it is very interested, and this thing knows no borders. They are all innate, because they don't have to think with their brains, so the convergence is still very strong.
The Japanese are very happy, they can make a lot of money just by returning to their capital in other cities, and they are all making money when they are released in Asia. As a small boss, Zhao Danfeng is also very cool, of course he doesn't care about making more money, so he worked hard at the press conference. There are a lot of Chinese and foreign media, and most foreigners come to shoot Chen Xiaoxuan. Recently, this woman has been known as the Oriental Venus, or Asian Bellucci, which shows where everyone's main focus is.
The Chinese-language media can do a little more to interview. What taboo topics are brought to the screen. What underage or something like that. Full of topics. Compared with "In the Mood for Love", which is staying in the same hotel, I am also in an interview, or an exclusive interview, except for asking if I have the confidence to win the award this year, I don't know what to ask. Alas, there's no topic, it's hard to ask how much the king of glasses overspent on this film? Guaranteed not to kill you.
There is no laid-back and laid-back last time I went to Berlin, and this year's Cannes. Zhao Danfeng is very busy. The next day was the premiere of "The Evening Mother". Jiang Wei, who came to the exhibition with "The Devil is Coming", also came to cheer. Gong Li came, Shu Qi also came, and they came to participate in the event. Nagisa Oshima also came, happily saying that the film was going to be filmed in Japan, and the director was going to write his name in the column. This kind of scene of Asian filmmakers gathering together was immediately discovered by foreigners. The enthusiasm is very high, this year, Asian films, especially Chinese-language films, are strong, and some people who didn't plan to report on this scene have come.
Jiang Wei looked at the scene between Zhao Danfeng and Chen Xiaoxuan, and sneered. Zhao Danfeng was curious. "What are you sneering at?"
"You belong to only allowing the state officials to set fires and not allowing the people to light the lights, so it doesn't matter if you shoot like this. I shoot. And be anxious with me. Jiang Wei also made a joke.
Zhao Danfeng was happy, "That's different, my film is going to this aspect, your theme is different, don't change the concept." If it is really this kind of film, Yuan Yang will definitely not be allowed to shoot it. ”
Jiang Wei smiled, "By the way, recently I was communicating with a young director, I have a plan for a new film, are you interested?" ”
"Aren't you Chinese?" Zhao Danfeng asked rhetorically, Jiang Wei understood, and nodded, "You just have no potential." ”
"There are a few people in their early twenties who are worth me, and they will stay in the line and see each other in the future. Besides, the dividends won't be a dime less, and when the time comes, there will be female characters, so I'll introduce you to two trials. Zhao Danfeng chatted with Jiang Wei, and he didn't care much about the film on the screen.
"You invited him to the premiere?" Jiang Wei pointed to the beam of his eyes not far from the front row.
Zhao Danfeng nodded, "They are all actors, they don't see anyone who looks down and looks up, they are still seniors, and the place that should be respected should be in place." What's more, I still want to collaborate with him on a film in the future, this is a secret, don't talk about it everywhere. ”
"I can't knock you to death." Jiang Wei was happy, "What kind of film, tell me?" ”
"The script hasn't been written yet, it's probably an undercover story." Zhao Danfeng is talking about "Infernal Affairs", Cai Yinong has been busy with this matter recently, and he has been trying to invest. Of course, it is also to prepare for Zhao Danfeng to participate.
Jiang Wei sighed, not too interested, and refocused on the screen, looking at the changes in Zhao Danfeng in the past few years.
Although there were no large-scale activities the day after, Zhao Danfeng accepted three interviews in one day, and there was a dinner party in the evening, which was not easier than the day of the premiere. And the premiere was a success, and the consequence was that everyone wanted to see what this guy who took advantage of the goddess looked like. Curiosity can't be satisfied, because it's endless.
finally survived the awards ceremony on the last day, Chen Kexin, Zhao Danfeng, and Chen Xiaoxuan walked the red carpet together, of course, the focus of the flash was the goddess. A Chinese actress that even foreigners like so much, and she is not an ugly star, so rare, Chen Xiaoxuan is almost the first time.
Chen Xiaoxuan, who has been in a state of excitement and can't calm down, even when he arrives at the award ceremony, he is always holding the appearance of being photographed, which makes Zhao Danfeng feel tired when he looks at it. Alas, this fame seems to have come too easily. No wonder it's a shortcut, as long as a woman dares to show it, there is no shortage of highlights, which is not false at all.
The Japanese are basically satisfied, the money is earned, the eyeballs are earned, and the topic is also there, then it is basically perfect. If you can still win the award, it really has nothing to do with you. Speaking of which, the Japanese are really fearless, and it has nothing to do with them when they win awards, and they never talk about things all day long because the film they invested in won an award. Unlike sticks, as long as you get a little bit of edge with yourself, you have to say that you made it yourself. From beginning to end, the Japanese said that this is a pure Hong Kong film, at most, it can be regarded as attracting foreign investment and cooperating in development.
So the two Japanese producers were smiling from ear to ear, looking happy, and they were purely here to enjoy the holiday. Zhao Danfeng looked envious, he was also a people, and Cai Yinong was about to vomit blood in the past few days. Cannes is not just a film festival, it's also a trade fair, as long as you shoot something on camera, you can sell it if you have a way to come. Not only movies can be sold, but TV series can also be sold. "Daming Palace Ci" has been sold, although the price is not high, but it has really been sold, and it is the first time that this drama has seen money back.
Cai Yinong is also busy selling dramas, as long as he sells it, he will pick up the money for nothing, so he doesn't have to worry about it. So although he was busy, Cai Yinong was happy and happy to death.
caught up with Cannes, which was full of Chinese films, Zhao Danfeng really had the illusion of being in the Golden Horse back then, and his heart became hot inexplicably. Maybe this year, there is really hope. (To be continued......)
