Originally, there weren't too many fans who liked Chu Qing.

To be exact, very few people will like an actor. Such as Liang Chaowei, such as Liu Qingyun, such as Zhang Zhen, no matter how good the drama is, no matter how low-key the style, fans will only see the side of him that belongs to the star.

Because the concept of actor is very pure, standing outside the flashiness.

Chu Qing originally developed in this area, but he didn't want to be reported by three consecutive issues of the field magazine, and the click-like flute gave him a little star temperament. "Anyang Baby" has the appetite of film critics, "This Summer" has pleased the audience, and "Lan Yu" has captured both groups. Not to mention anything else, just with that beautiful flesh * body, it is enough to circle a considerable number of fans and.

As a result, although he isolated himself from China, he was upgraded to a small influence in Cannes. In particular, he is from China, which surprised foreigners at first, and it is rare for them to see such a different style and full of performance personality of oriental filmmakers. First surprised, then exploratory, and by the end of the festival, it was fully accepted.

In this case, Fan Xiaoye is naturally very cheerful, especially as a girlfriend, he is quite sad to "follow him and finally get through". But what is even more exciting is Yuan Lei, she relied on the first hand to get acquainted with Chu Qing, and accompanied almost the whole process, each article is exclusive, and there are pictures and materials.

This is not like "Xiao Wu" in Berlin, how can the mainland still be in a state of ignorance, now the domestic ideology is gradually liberalized, coupled with the strong rise of online media, the trend of information sources flying around is becoming more and more obvious.

Even if Nandu can't slap the General Bureau in the face and poke Chu Qingming in the newspaper, there is no shortage of reports on "This Summer". The photos of Li Yu, Zhang Jingchu, and Fan Xiaoye are put all over the place, and by the way, they sneakily mention someone's name.

As for the first interview script, Yuan Lei didn't want to give it out at all, she was waiting until the day he lifted the ban.

Well, another one who is not afraid of big things when watching the excitement......

May 19th. Two days before the closing of the festival.

The drizzle continued, and in the small coffee shop near the main venue, Chu Qing put away his umbrella and shook the water droplets before he pushed the door sideways to let Cheng Ying advance.

The girl's face was a little tired, she had been busy with her, and she had not been much idle at all. Chu Qing is also quite ashamed, there is no way to compensate for other aspects, and it is still okay to go back and wrap a big red envelope.

The shop is quiet and there are not many customers. The tables and chairs are beautiful, and the cubicles are set up to be both secluded and comfortable.

He was looking for it, and the target had spotted him, smiling and waving his hand. It was a tall foreigner, decent and a businessman.

"Hello, Mr. Dutron!" He hurriedly leaned over to greet him.

"Nice to meet you, Chu!"

The two shook hands, and Cheng Ying greeted in French again. Take your seats.

It is said that Chu Qing's contact information left abroad is Cheng Ying's number, and he can't communicate in bad English, so he has to be relayed by the girl.

Just yesterday. Pierre Risian suddenly called, saying that a buddy wanted to meet him. didn't mention anything, but Reisan's face had to be given, so he hurriedly agreed.

As for the identity of the thing in front of you. He remembered the name, as if he was a senior executive of some kind of film company. It's all the same anyway, and it's not for the sake of buying a film. Which family is the house?

"How is Director Jia Zhangke's current situation?"

Chu Qing wanted to be polite, but the foreigner came up with a word, which made him a little confused, and asked: "He is filming a new film in China, do you know him?" ”

"Of course! I contacted him when I was on "Platform" to get the distribution rights of the film, but unfortunately he had already signed a contract with another French company. ”

Duteron's face was full of celebrities, and he smiled: "But I sue him, it's okay, I can wait for the next one." ”

After listening to Cheng Ying's translation, Chu Qing shrugged his shoulders slightly, if he changed the occasion, he would be in the mood to discuss Lao Jia's movie. But now it's a depressed stall, and I'm so worried about my own films, where is the time for small talk?

He asked directly: "Uh, I wonder what Mr. Dutron is looking for me this time?" ”

"Oh, that's right."

The foreigner seemed to see his impatience and said with a smile: "I am very interested in the movie "Anyang Baby", but I can't find the relevant person in charge, so I have to ask Mr. Risian to meet you." ”

“……”

Okay!

Look at me, the actor, and I have to take care of the distribution. Chu Qing was instantly interested, but he had to help, after all, Wang Chao is also a buddy, the film can be sold, and his face is bright.

He asked Cheng Ying for a pen and paper, wrote down two numbers with a brush, marked his name, and said: "This is the phone number of the director and the producer, if you can't get in touch, you can also find me." ”

"Chu, thank you so much!" Duteron exclaimed softly, slightly exaggeratedly.

"Heh, you're welcome."

Chu Qing pouted secretly, he also made an appointment with two film companies to meet, he was too lazy to bother here, Chong Cheng Ying signaled, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I still have a date, since there is nothing to do, I will leave." ”

As he spoke, he got up and was about to withdraw.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

The foreigner hurriedly stood up and stopped him, pressed down with both hands, and said, "Please sit, please sit, we still need to talk about your movie." Immediately, he pushed the small cup over and said with a smile: "The coffee here tastes good." ”

Chu Qing twitched the corner of his eye, and it was inconvenient to refuse, so he had to take a sip and wait for the other party to open his mouth.

Du Tron didn't go around the bend anymore, took out a business card and handed it over, and said, "Officially get acquainted." ”

Cheng Ying took a look and saw that the name of the line was marked on it: Vice President of the French MK2 Film Company, Lauren Dutron.

Yo! The girl couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth, she had heard of it.

MK2, which has the third largest cinema chain in France, has never made any secret of being an avid fan of arthouse cinema and has been uncompromising for decades.

These guys are extremely good at picking up the leaks in the leftover films that are not eye-catching by a big film dealer and popularizing them. He has been popular with Kieślowski's "Red", "White" and "Blue" trilogy, as well as David Lynch's "My Heart is Wild" and "Mulholland Drive". And he has a soft spot for Chinese films, and has maintained good cooperative relations with literary and artistic celebrities such as Hou Hsiao-hsien, Yang Dechang, and Wong Kar-wai.

It is precisely because of this attribute that it is fundamentally different from other film companies. How? Well, it seems like there's an extra sense of security.

Cheng Ying winked at Chu Qing and said OK, and the latter sat upright, revealing that he could communicate further.

"How's your release going?" The foreigner asked.

Cheng Ying didn't translate, so she answered directly, saying: "At present, more than a dozen companies have expressed their intentions, and we are still in contact. ”

Duteron smiled, ignoring her tricks, and said: "We felt that the film was a perfect fit for the French market and decided to buy the rights to its global distribution." ”

"Buyout or share?"

"No, it's neither." The foreigner shook his head and said, "We want to be an agent." ”

“……”

The two looked at each other, not because they didn't understand, but they didn't expect MK2 to be so optimistic about "This Summer".

The so-called agency is to entrust the other party with carte blanche to do it, how people want to trade, whether it is a buyout, whether it is a dividend, whether it is released in their own theaters, you can't control it. Then, from the gross profit, the other party deducts a certain percentage of the commission, which is counted as an agency fee, and the rest is given to the producer.

It can be said that the authority is the greatest and the degree of freedom is the greatest, all depending on the agent's ability to operate.

None of the previous companies proposed to cooperate in this way, either they were not strong enough, or they didn't believe in the box office prospects of the film, in short, they were all a one-shot deal, and they didn't want to bother with marketing.

The MK2 plan, regardless of other factors, is at least sincere.
