The beach reception of "Night Banquet" had a good effect, and Zhang contributed a lot.

Internationally, Zhang Ziyi is obviously much tougher than Feng Xiao, so there is a scene where she leads the director to get acquainted with European and American stars and film dealers everywhere.

Chu Qing also went, but he didn't mix, so he had to talk to the goods.

"The City Full of Golden Armor" claims to have an investment of 300 million, and "Night Banquet" claims to have an investment of 200 million, which are all. Feng Xiaogang told him that the investment in "Night Banquet" was 13 million US dollars, that is, more than 100 million.

This thing is just like "Asian Singer Zhang Runtu" and "Asian Dance King Lao Gan Ma", all of them are blowing good faces.

Because if you want to go to the international market, you have to boast to death, Feng Xiaogang led the team this time, and directly soared the cost to 40 million US dollars. Fool at this price first, and then settle the account and buy it after watching it, it is nothing more than a joke, and people are not stupid, it is impossible to spend more than 20 million US dollars to buy distribution rights.

However, according to Wang Zhonglei, the copyright of "Night Banquet" has been sold for $9 million, and coming to Cannes is deeply gilded. Whether this is true or false, Feng Xiaogang refused to reveal it.

And Chu Qing pinched his fingers, the cost of 13 million US dollars + 2 million US dollars in publicity expenses, the domestic box office must be at least 100 million 3, and Huayi can guarantee to make money.

Tsk, the pressure is great! I can't afford to play it myself, so it's better to make a small-budget movie.

But in response to this idea, Feng Xiaogang gave deep contempt and ridicule, and he asked: If "Crazy Stone" is a box office hit, then the next time Ning Hao makes another film, will you still give people millions of funds?

Make sure to make a fool of you!

You have to give 15 million to others, and then toss and toss, it will become 30 million, 50 million, or even 100 million. Even if Ning Hao said it himself, no. I insist on taking millions of films! In those two years, there will be basically nothing else to do in the film industry...... No way, society is so realistic.

The other party was reasonable, so Chu Qing went happily and forced back. Of course. He didn't dare to see Zhou Xun or Lin Jiaxin from the crew of "Silk".

……

Wang Chao's "Jiangcheng Summer" premiered, Chu Qing took Wang Tong and others to the show, originally to take care of friends, but I didn't think about it, this film is not bad.

After the accumulation of "Anyang Baby" and "Day and Night", his style has become quite proficient, although there is still some personal YY and hypocrisy, but the emotions are resonant.

The media also has a relatively high rating. It means that you can hit the top prize of the "Un Certain Regard" unit.

In a blink of an eye, on the 24th, the festival schedule is more than halfway, and 12 of the 21 main competition films have been released.

There are too few Asian films and no one pays attention to them, and American films have been sprayed all the way since "The Da Vinci Code", which makes those Hollywood celebrities very embarrassed.

In contrast, European films shined, with Almodovar's "The Return" leading the way. The British's "Red Road" and the Turks' "Currents of Thought" were equally popular, not to mention Kenroch's "The Wind Blows the Rice Waves" and Kaurismäki's "Lights at Dusk". The rating is consistently in the top 10.

Even if "Summer Palace" passed, it set off some waves, and was immediately drowned in the sea of stars of Europa Xueba. There is no hanging at home at all, and the evaluation abroad is not good, Guo Xiaodong and Hao Lei are very depressed. The sacrifice made by the two of them was so great, but they were not rewarded as expected.

It turns out. Not everyone who takes off their clothes is a green elf, and not everyone who fools someone into taking off their clothes is Bertolucci.

Lou Ye's Taoism is still too far away.

…………

25th, morning.

Chu Qing received the standard treatment this year, which is the highest in the history and can mix in Europe. There are only a few of them: Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, Jia Zhangke, Gong Li, Chu Qing, Zhang Ziyi, gone.

Now the two of them are here at once, and they are still the only remaining representatives of the Asian region, and Chairman Jacob has given quite a lot of face.

"Murdere" had a small media preview last night, and today it is in full swing, and audiences can see the film from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.

At the premiere, the stars were naturally bright, Jacob and Reisan were the official representatives, Zhang Ziyi and Tim Ross were the representatives of the jury, Feng Xiaogang and Wu Yan were the representatives of friends, and Zhou Xun and Lin Jiaxin were the representatives of the rumored girlfriend......

Fan Xiaoye has completely changed his appearance, from the dress to the eye makeup, from the drop-shaped jade pendant to the subtle curvature of the corners of his mouth, he is simply impeccable. I have to say that there is such a big fat daughter-in-law who pokes at her side, who she loves!

European fans have high expectations for Chu Qing, although he has sent a lot of films to the film festival, it is the first time that he is the leading actor in a competition.

In fact, it is quite interesting, as the male and female top names of young actors in the mainland, Zhang cheered everywhere he went, and he was completely an international celebrity. Chu Qing is very low-key, or not popular enough, but when it comes to seeing the real chapter, it shows the great influence of his use of works to brush his face.

The theater has not yet opened, and there is already a long queue outside, and all tickets for the first show are sold out. When the audience entered, Huang Bo and Wang Qianyuan were still stupid and chirping, but in the blink of an eye, the hall of thousands of people was full.

The two of them looked very nervous, and took out the suits at the bottom of the box, but when they wore them, they were as cold as if they weren't wearing them. It didn't take long for Jacob to go up and say a few opening words, and then the curtain lit up, and the premiere of "Murdere" officially began.

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound like a hammer smashing flesh inside, and then a vague picture appeared, but it was a violent panning.

There seem to be people, there seems to be loess, and there seems to be someone in the gray madness under the loess. Then, a body fell to the ground, covered in thick and bright blood.

This scene is followed by a few seconds of close-up of the village: following a dirt road zigzag upwards, the eyes are full of dense caves, without trees and greenery, so lifeless, as if they have existed for thousands of years.

As the camera walked, there was a sudden tremor and a quick approach to a wooden door.

With a "bang", the door was pushed open, and I saw the thin Huang Bo sitting on the kang, drunk and hazy shouting: "That doll can't live!" The intestines have been poked out, how can they still live? It's good to die there! Whoever stabs the knife, who collects the corpse! ”

"Do you know who stabbed the knife?"

His eyes widened sharply and he angrily spat out a word: "Me! ”

“……”

Huang Bo stared at the screen expressionlessly, but his hands were already clenched into fists. It's like pulling your heart out a little bit. Wang Qianyuan understood and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"Did you notice?"

"Of course, that change was awesome!"

The audience couldn't help but whisper, and sure enough, the combination of Jiang Wen + Chu Qing finally let them see a different Chinese movie.

Briefly. is to jump from the empty mirror to the subjective lens, that is: the scene → people.

This kind of shooting technique is rare in Europe, let alone the mainland, that is, Lao Jiang dares to play. He used the most indifferent angle to observe Kong Qinghe, Old Seventh Uncle, and thick glasses These cowardly and deformed villagers. Through their exaggerated performances and narrations, the relationship between the killer and the killed is slowly revealed.

These techniques make the first half of the film seem cumbersome, but it's actually quite simple. It is divided into two lines: one is a subjective lens, which is used to highlight and lead to the plot; One is normal shooting, which is the content of tengu.

Fortunately, the reception of movies in Europe is very high, and there are no unpleasant comments.

And when it was seven or eight minutes later, Chu Qing appeared for the first time, with his daughter-in-law and baby. The villagers were noisy and enthusiastically celebrated. The boss also sang a strange mountain song, which was completely different from the previous painting style.

Subsequently. It is the shot of Tengu and Peach Blossom bathing.

I saw that the narrow wooden door tightly encircled Chu Qing's naked body, and the hot water droplets flowed down his back, every muscle, every bone. It seems to be alive, writhing inch by inch.

“OH！”

The female audience was very excited, and the male audience was very envious, and kept whispering praise:

"It's so tempting!"

"Ha, he's burning like fire!"

Fan Xiaoye listened half-incomprehensibly. couldn't help pouting, if someone else was playing, she would definitely be jealous, sister, forget it.

However, she still had to ask, "Sister, did you really see it?" ”

Wang Tong leaned over and said with a smile: "Well, it's almost two and a half catties." ”

My sister used a very magical measure word, and Fan Xiaoye seemed to have a convulsion in his head, but he actually responded: "He is indeed quite big." ”

“……”

“……”

After the two women finished playing hooligans, they became shy and turned their heads silently.

On the screen, as the plot develops, the contradictions and conflicts of the story are also revealed one by one. Jiang Wen no longer shows off his skills, but uses a very thick technique to show it.

The people in the village wanted to steal wood, and the tengu had to guard it, so that the house was cut off from water and electricity, and had to pay a high price to buy Coke, and then make unpalatable steamed buns.

He never gave in, until the child's lamb was slaughtered and his daughter-in-law was almost raped, that he realized the serious threat and forced his family to leave.

And he himself, still firmly rooted in the forest protection point on the mountainside, is like a lonely city trapped.

Western audiences do not understand the concept of "desperately protecting national property", preferring to see the tengu as a lone traveler who wants to prove his worth and ideals.

If you want to be an honest person, people will bully you. If you give in generously, people will infringe on you. If you don't want to fight with others, you have to maintain your strength and be prepared to resist. If you want to live peacefully with people, you must first deal with them, and you must be prepared to suffer at any time.

But when all of this fails, there's only one way left: to fight!

It is precisely because of the common denominator of these human natures that they understand the tengu and the perseverance, the generosity and heroism that thousands of people have hoped for.

So the night was bleak, the village was deserted, and Chu Qing fell to the ground covered in blood, not an inch intact from head to toe.

So he panted, carried the gun on his back, crawled little by little, and dragged out all the blood marks.

So he was in pain, convulsive, but kept moving forward, forward...... Everyone stared at the screen without blinking, grief and indignation, agitation, all moving forward with him, forward!

The tengu is not Jesus who was hung on the cross, he is going to kill people, no one distinguishes between right and wrong, he is only for his own righteousness and right and wrong.

Finally, he climbed to the Kong family's mansion, ambushed, set up a gun, aimed, and roared from his chest: "You dog mongrel, get out of here!" ”

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Everyone had forgotten to breathe, and only felt the heaviness and sadness that pressed on their hearts, as if a gap had been pierced by the sound of gunfire, and the darkness was rushing wildly to meet the blood-stained light. (To be continued......)
