Chapter 229: Hesitation
Godard, probably with the attribute of group ridicule in his bones.
Among the world-class movie celebrities, this ability to pull hatred is unparalleled in the world. The old man in his seventies is still as brave and fierce as a little child, and he can't get used to the nouveau riche virtue of those Yankees who take money and smash people.
Since the opening of Cannes, Godard has not stopped, and after finishing "Moulin Rouge" and "Shrek", at the press conference of his new film set in World War II, he suddenly provoked Spielberg again, and gave a little thumbs up in righteous words.
Everyone knows the real purpose of the old guy, isn't it just to use propaganda from the beginning. Everyone also understands that after all, the era of the New Wave has long since disappeared, and Bai is struggling in the empty, lonely and cold modern society with the name of a master, and it is embarrassing to find someone to talk to.
Therefore, the media naturally gave face, slaughtered it with an almost sympathetic attitude, and properly blew up the major newspapers.
Chu Qing is actually quite grateful to this old man.
Because of his super combat effectiveness and incompetent brain hole, while disgusting a vote of ordinary fans, it also makes "This Summer" look so fresh.
"Brazil, give 1 star!"
"Denmark, uh, still 1 star!"
"Australia, oh, this high, 1.3!"
On the way to the film market, Cheng Ying held the latest "Daily Screen" and talked non-stop.
This journal usually invites film critics from all over the world to rate the films in the competition unit, with a full score of four stars, for reference only. Because it is not the same group as the jury, there are often high-scoring films that do not win the award.
"Okay, okay, you can tell me what the average score is, right?" Chu Qing interrupted her.
"I'll see, uh, 1.2." Cheng Ying was actually quite happy, and said with a smile: "Let's be the second-to-last." β
His head was full of black lines. Asked: "Eldest sister, what is there to be happy about in the penultimate place?" β
"Tsk, it's not worth being happy to be the first." She waved the magazine and comforted: "Oh, don't worry too much, the highest is only 2.4 at the moment, not even more than 3, and last year's "In the Mood for Love" was 3.2!" β
He said helplessly: "That can't be better than it at all, hey, is there any criticism?" β
The girl's arm stretched. showed the content of the small half version and said, "No, these are all curses." β
"It's okay, not too ruthless."
"Pull it down, I can't bear to translate it for you." Cheng Ying glanced at him and said, "But the audience likes it very much, and I interviewed a few of them, and they all said that they were good-looking." β
"That's fine, we're here to sell for money anyway." Chu Qing shrugged. Confidence has grown a lot.
They have just participated in a small event, led by the organizing committee, and they are all rookies in the independent film industry, communicating with each other. It's kind of official PR.
The rainy season in Cannes has not yet receded, and the temperature has dropped by a few degrees. Pedestrians no longer wore T-shirts and shorts, but added jackets. The lace news in the newspaper also lamented every day, hoping not to affect the human body of the closing ceremony.
The road was wet and cold, and Chu Qing was still wearing leather shoes and trousers. Cautiously slipping away, I especially envy Cheng Ying in casual clothes.
Not far ahead is the movie palace, Li Yu took the two girls to the platform early, she has good English and can cope with the scene. Zhang Jingchu's cram school was not given for nothing, and the oral language was still good, and Fan Xiaoye, who was only semi-literate, was purely a laborer.
βHEYοΌ Bag! β
As the two of them were walking, they heard a shout from across the road, and then a white girl ran up and down, opening her mouth and muttering a long string.
He scratched his head, he didn't know him, and asked, "What did she say?" β
Cheng Ying pursed her lips and said with a smile: "She said she likes you very much." β
"She said you have a sense of body."
"She said your acting skills were amazing."
"She decided to support you for the rest of her life."
"Well, then she wants to kiss you."
ββ¦β¦β
Chu Qing already knew something about Miss Cheng's belly and said suspiciously: "Are you sure?" β
"Of course!" She nodded very solemnly.
Cut! He didn't take the coat, just opened his arms and made a hugging gesture.
Unexpectedly, the foreign girl excitedly threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly, and then, Lisuo turned around and ran away.
"Hey, why do you lie without blinking?" He avoided a humiliation and couldn't help but ask.
"I blinked, you didn't pay attention?" She shook her eyelids.
Well, he really wants to complain about the old man in the next year, you are really an old rascal, so you can teach such a girl.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Xu is this year's Hong Kong films are too violent, and they scared Cannes enough by virtue of the numerical advantage, and the organizing committee specially set up two tiers of booths for the exhibition of the Hong Kong Pavilion.
Chu Qing has to go through these two floors to get to his booth, and the current film market is not like the first day, where the traffic has at least doubled, and it is the time when the transaction is the hottest.
He and Cheng Ying dodged around inside, not crowded, but it was also quite difficult, and it was easy to find a spacious place to catch their breath first.
"Hey, look at how magnificent people are!" Cheng Ying suddenly stabbed him and pointed to the side.
Chu Qing turned his head and saw an ultra-luxurious booth, there were five staff members alone, and the area was two circles larger than his own, in addition to posters and leaflets, there were also various souvenirs and peripheral delivery.
The two of them were envious and jealous of the past onlookers, first of all, the big poster of the whole wall, colorful, lined with two women's faces, Zhang Baizhi, and Zhang Ziyi, but it was Xu Laowei's work "The Legend of Shu Mountain".
In fact, classmate Zhang is a cameo, but he is famous in the West, which highlights his status, but it is the two male protagonists Louis Koo and Ekin Cheng, and the poor ones are only phantoms.
The effect is naturally obvious, and many foreigners stopped to stay, staring at Zhang's little face and whispering. Then, one of them inadvertently turned his head, caught a glimpse of someone at a glance, and said in surprise: "Chu! β
ββ¦β¦β
Thanks to Chu Qing, he was already very used to it, and he was not frightened, and said with a smile: "HI! β
However, there is only one sentence for this product, and he consciously gave up his position to Cheng Ying, and only after they finished speaking, did he say: "He won't kiss me too, right?" β
"He asked you if you acted in this film, and when I said no, he said it was a pity." Cheng Ying spread out her hands.
"Tsk!"
Chu Qing smashed his mouth, and for a while his mood was quite delicate, a little vain, a little proud, and a little embarrassed. just didn't want to stay longer, waved his hand at the buddy, and pulled Cheng Ying to flash people.
After passing through the Hong Kong Pavilion and going up to the third floor, I saw the friends working hard to solicit customers from a distance, and I couldn't help but pause, and suddenly I was inexplicably calm.
Li Yu was the first to see it, and Baba leaned over and complained: "Why did you come?" β
"No one has bought it yet?" He asked.
"Somebody buys it, but I'm not sure."
"What's going on?"
"There were three companies just now, European, North American, and South American."
Several people entered the booth and gathered into a small circle, and they heard Li Yu say: "They all want to buy out the global distribution rights, one for 300,000, one for 350,000, and one for 400,000." β
"Divide it?"
"Not to mention the split, I didn't talk about it for a long time."
Chu Qing was also entangled immediately, 400,000 US dollars, that is more than 2 million yuan, not only the cost is back, but you can also make some money, but if you really want to sell it......
He and Li Yu glanced at each other, their thoughts were the same, and they instinctively felt that they had not reached the limit.
This kind of overseas issuance is usually in the form of buyout and split. Those big film companies around the world will not buy them out at a very high price. Generally, a guaranteed price will be given, and it will fluctuate up and down according to the director's coffee position, for example, Lao Mouzi may be 200,000, while a rookie may only be 20,000.
Then, on this basis, the film company deducts all the expenses for publicity and distribution, and finally sees how much it can recover. If there is a surplus, then it can be divided, and if not, you can only get the guarantee.
Like later generations, there are many companies in China that say how much money a film sells, millions of dollars at every turn, that is pure bragging.
If a newcomer like Li Yu is divided, the guarantee must be extremely low, and how much they can earn, they don't have a score, what if they lose it?
Therefore, it is relatively safe to buy out, buy and sell with a hammer, and ensure income in drought and flood. But after all, the two of them are unwilling, they sold their biological children for 400,000 yuan, and they are especially global copyrights, so they are always a bit of a hurry.
(First of all, thank you to Lemon Tea, I'm flattered that there will be an alliance leader for an update like mine.) Lemon classmate, you will have a plus, well, the date is uncertain.
The chapter names of the first few chapters were too arbitrary, which is a problem and will have to be corrected later.
In other words, my recent state is very stable, which is a hangover hangover...... It will take a few days to adjust before it can feel good, so everyone is not surprised. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, there will be more. (To be continued......)
