As soon as Fan Xiaoye's crane costume was sent back to China, it immediately swept all the major entertainment versions, and immediately after, a so-called expert black jumped out, saying that the crane was regarded as a vicious bird by the French, and this word is a symbol of stupidity and lewdness in French.

Sister Wang immediately fought back, saying that the French also like cranes, and even thought that seeing cranes in a dream would indicate that they would meet kind people and that happy things would happen.

This kind of brain-dead remarks is nothing more than a small trick by other companies, and Sister Wang's combat effectiveness is bursting, and it is settled in minutes.

On the other side, the two of them led a large group of people to move in Cannes, and all parties were in contact. In a blink of an eye, it was the 18th, which was the day of the "Painted Skin" promotional reception.

Cocktail parties are a tradition in Cannes, with more than 100 parties, big and small, taking place from the opening to the closing. In addition to the luxury hotel on the opposite side of the Movie Palace, there is also a lot of fun on the beach next to it.

Every morning, the streets of the town are full of garbage and vomit, which shows the madness of last night.

In addition to the fashion theme, the organizers of the party are mostly film producers, with relatively fixed names, such as: "Chinese Movie Night", "Taiwan Night", "Hong Kong Night", "Red Cliff" Night" and so on.

The two of them studied it very carefully, and felt that "The Night of "Painted Skin" was too lacking in heart, and "The Night of the Two of Us" was a little ashamed, so they conveniently used English grammar and printed the big word "Ournight" on the invitation.

The list is nearly 500 people, including domestic and foreign film businessmen and media, domestic counterparts who come to the red carpet, good personal friends, and official personnel of the film festival. Don't be too much, in Cannes, a place with more trenches, it can only be regarded as mid-range.

In fact, foreigners do not like to participate in Chinese drinking parties, you can guess with your knees, the procedure must be: the host announces the start, the leader and the main creator speak. Then the host waved his hand, let's eat! So the reporter was busy interviewing, the main creator was busy being photographed, and the leader was busy talking about business with the partner...... Particularly familiar with the wood! If you attend a reception in the country, you are so virtuous!

Foreigners are different, the two have been there many times, people are just playing, the music is loud, and a group of people are dancing with champagne - even if there is business, it will not be on the surface.

Night, Carlton Hotel.

The two of them chartered the largest hall. It takes the form of self-service, with a long table on the left and several salons on the right, separated by beaded curtains. Light music was played, soothing and beautiful, the scale of hundreds of people was not crowded or deserted, and waiters walked around the crowd with plates.

The foreign guests were dressed very ceremoniously, and even the reporters wore suits and bow ties. China's is more LOWB, there is no dress to speak of, and the female reporter is a little more particular and can wear some light makeup.

However, both sides are satisfied. Foreigners are glad that there are no strange pre-dinner ceremonies and speeches, but the reporter is warm for the intimate preparation of the post-conference meal. Because in the previous cocktail party, they could only interview while seeing two meat skewers to satisfy their hunger.

And at this time. In the salon area, Chu Qing and Xu Kezheng were chatting with the heads of the five companies.

"Chu, with all due respect. I can't read the trailer you gave me. ”

This man's name is Mulligan, he wears glasses, and he looks very Sven. Behind him is the third-largest publisher in the United States, and he also has a wide network in Europe, which should not be underestimated.

"I can understand the goblins becoming humans, but I think the contradictions between them are very confused, it was the era of polygamy, and the male protagonist was not dedicated, why could he resist the temptation and kill you?" He was very frank.

"In traditional Chinese society, the code of ethics is often extremely important, and the main wife and concubine are completely two different concepts. Although the actor likes the demon, he doesn't want to wronged the other party and just be a concubine. ”

“So……”

Mulligan spread his hands and said innocently, "Does this have anything to do with him not sleeping with that goblin?" ”

"Well, because he has etiquette in his heart and has his own sense of morality......" Xu Laowei tried his best to explain, but unfortunately the effect was not good. He was a guy who was not a vulgar person, and he could talk about movies, but he was a little short of convincing a businessman.

Chu Qing has a lot of contact with these foreigners, and he can be a little stronger, so he smiled: "It's easy to understand if you see it as a story of failure." ”

"Oh, how?" Mulligan found the angle fresh, and the other four listened intently.

"Fairies become human beings and come to the world, including falling in love with the male protagonist, this is a kind of practice. Because humans and demons are hierarchical, very vague, very subtle kind of thing......"

"For example, demons are animals, and humans are humans." A buddy in the UK interjected.

"Correct! The demon wants to be a human, everything she does is for this purpose, and the male protagonist is the way she chooses to practice. She learns secular habits, social etiquette, and relationships and love. When she felt that she had learned everything, she wanted to verify the results, but she found that she looked down on human nature. Human nature is the foundation of human beings, she only simulates human nature through artifact civilization and philosophical theories, in fact, there are still the most primitive animal desires. ”

Chu Qing took a sip of champagne and said with a smile: "So to put it simply, this is the story of a demon who wanted to learn to be a man and finally failed." ”

“……”

There was silence during the banquet, and even Xu Ke was quite surprised, he really didn't expect that Ya's understanding of "Painted Skin" could reach this level.

After half a ring, Mulligan lifted his glasses and said, "The idea of simulating human nature is simply amazing!" Although we have "Artificial Intelligence" and "Machine Butler", we have never seen an oriental interpretation. Okay, Chu, I'll admit that you make me very excited, but I have to remind you that the market and tastes in North America have long been ingrained, and it's hard for audiences to pay for this type of movie. And they are tired of the style of "Heroes", they don't want to watch another boring landscape film. ”

said it as if it was the truth, but Chu Qing and Xu Ke glanced at each other: This product is lowering the price!

That's enough, from the intention to buy to the specific price procedure, the two of them are also considered meritorious. The rest is not their involvement, and the negotiators leave everything to the negotiators.

So after chatting a few more words, Chu Qing said: "I'm not accompanied, I'll go over there to have a look." ”

"It's okay, you're the star tonight." Several foreigners also tacitly agreed.

The whole exchange process was only more than half an hour, and the cocktail party had just warmed up, and it had not yet entered the climax. He poked it and looked, Fan Xiaoye pulled Zhou Xun to chat with some friends in the fashion industry; Donnie Yen was surrounded by two black men. It seems to be discussing kung fu; Zhao Liying's small vote is completely in a state of stupidity, and she only knows how to eat and eat.

He raised his feet and walked to Fan Xiaoye's side, and his daughter-in-law also happened to see it, so he said goodbye and got out. As soon as I arrived in the center of the venue, I suddenly saw a hairy thing pop out of my eyes.

“……”

Chu Qing looked at this halfway interceptor: female, I don't know, dressed in the explosive dress of the second-hand fur city at the junction of urban and rural areas, and there is air conditioning in the room. Otherwise, you will have to suffocate to death.

"Mr. Chu, I'm your fan, can I take a photo with you?" The girl accosted her with an indescribable, slimy, warm smell that came out of her stomach.

"Uh, yes." He can't refuse.

"Ah, thank you!"

The girl immediately put her arms around him, clinging to his side, and a guy popped out of nowhere. I took five or six photos with the click of the camera.

"Thank you, Mr. Chu!"

The girl bowed, didn't ask for anything else, and flashed.

Fan Xiaoye and Zhou Xun waited next to them for a while, and then came over at this time. Qi said: "Who is she?" ”

"I don't know!"

He shook his head, not bothering to explore. But the daughter-in-law is very sensitive to these things, so she pondered it and said with a smile: "Yo." Now this routine is very strange! ”

"What do you mean?" Zhou Gongzi was also curious.

"I used to rub the red carpet, but this is starting to rub the cocktail party." Fan Xiaoye threw out a sentence, and the two of them understood in seconds.

It is said that Cannes has three or four red carpets a day. Each performance lasted 40 minutes, more than 2,000 people walked, and the entire film festival went down, no less than 70,000 people. Except for big names, those third, fourth, fifth and sixth-tier stars want to be exposed in the crowd, and the difficulty coefficient is very high.

But the party is different, the number is relatively small, the format is very free, and the most important thing is: you can take a group photo! Take a group photo! Take a group photo!

Big stars usually don't refuse such requests, and even deliberately show a friendly attitude. Just like the little star just now, from approaching Chu Qing to taking a photo, the whole process took less than ten seconds, but the effect was extremely amazing.

You want to! If Tom Cruise and Chen Chichi have a good time, and Angelina Jolie and Zhang Xinyu are like sisters, tsk, what an exciting thing it is!

What's more, with the influence of big stars, your photos have a great chance to be noticed by overseas media, and then sent back to China from overseas, instantly creating a lofty international vision.

Thinking about this, Chu Qing couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, now is really the era of creativity!" ”

Fan Xiaoye didn't have so much sentimentality as him, just listening to the music that had changed from light rhythm to ballroom dance music, he grabbed her husband's arm and said, "Go, dance with me!" ”

"Oops......"

He was tied away with one arm slanted, and Zhou Gongzi laughed in place, indicating that he could not do anything.

Everyone had drunk enough, and it was time for the event to be active, and a large dance floor had been set up in the venue, and many people were hugging and hugging inside. Chu Qinghui is one kind, commonly known as "slow three steps", and it is also the favorite of middle-aged and elderly women.

He wrapped his right hand around his daughter-in-law's waist, his left hand clenched, and Fan Xiaoye put his arm on his shoulder and raised his head slightly. One in black and one in a white dress, the two of them are slow, the rhythm is connected, the steps are tacit, and even each other's breathing is entangled.

Zhou Gongzi unconsciously stood on the edge of the dance floor, holding a long glass with amber champagne inside. The wine shook lightly, and it stained her eyes.

Xu is atmosphere was too relaxed, Xu is Fan Xiaoye was so kind that he allowed the two of them to dance. Just when the domestic media was frightened, Gao * Chao came: Fan Xiaoye hugged Zhou Gongzi's waist, and the two girls jumped again.

The tall and fat jumping male step, the short and thin jumping female step, how to look at it and how to match the face!

Okay!

The journalists are all blown up!

What else to promote, what to interview? These three people are together, which is the biggest selling point, the national audience likes to see it, scratches their hearts and lungs, wants to die, and looks forward to it!

……

The group did not stay until the end, and returned to the capital before the closing.

The commercial negotiations for "Painted Skin" were very fast, perhaps because of the same cultural origin, the interest of Japanese and Korean filmmakers was extremely high, and the price was also pleasantly surprised. In recent years, the West has been stingy and has squirming for the distribution rights in Europe and North America.

On May 25, the Cannes Film Festival closed.

European cinema won the Palme d'Or, the Italian film Gomorrah won the Grand Jury Prize, and Jia Zhangke's Tale of Twenty-Four Cities won nothing.

Chu Qing went to see this movie specifically, to be honest, he has never liked Lao Jia's works very much, but he respects that gesture of concern very much.

For example, in "Tale of Twenty-Four Cities", Lao Jia said that the biggest problem in his interview was the communication with the workers: they were always telling other people's stories and big events, but the "I" as a personal memory was completely blank. "I" is not important, "I" has no story, not enough to write into the image.

In the past, Chu Qing liked to learn from the road because he had a problem-solving attitude; Now, I think it's important to pay attention.

He still didn't like the film's presentation and long shots, but he understood the bones of the working class that were harder than the intellectuals, and the character that only those of that era had.

It's a good movie. (To be continued.) )
