Cannes in May, the world's cinema extravaganza!

The most prestigious of the four major film festivals, which will kick off in May every year, is no less influential than the Oscars.

With the final appearance of the list of major units, the entire world film industry has emitted a scorching energy.

Especially in China, this Cannes has brought an artist into everyone's sight.

Zhang Ziyi, this Mou girl, actually served as a judge at the 59th Cannes Film Festival!

The most important thing is that director Wong Kar-wai served as the chairman of the jury, which is what makes all Chinese people excited.

Hanging up Bong Junhao's phone, Lin Xiao's heart was not calm.

He had long known that the Han River Monster would definitely report to Cannes, and now on April 25, Cannes finally announced the shortlist for this major unit.

......Before he could calm down, his phone was already ringing wildly.

"Xiaolinzi, you can! One string went to Cannes, and it was still the main competition unit! Do you know that there are few Chinese who enter the main competition unit this time! It's just you, Ang Lee, Jia Zhangke. Lao Mouzi's thousands of miles of walking alone was not chosen! ”

"Lao Feng, your message is so fast? I just received a notice from the South Korean side here, and you know all about it? Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Hehe, every year in Cannes, how many pairs of eyes are watching? That atmosphere is definitely not comparable to the Golden Horse, it is a film festival at the same level as the Oscars! Once recognized in Cannes, that person's international standing will immediately rise. Who isn't in a hurry? Feng Xiaogang laughed, but there was a hint of loneliness in his voice, "Xiaolinzi, congratulations, entering the main competition unit, even if it is a nomination, it is worth congratulating." ”

As soon as he hung up the phone, it rang again.

"Brother Xiao! Congratulations! Cannes Grand Prix! Tut-tut, that's amazing! Li Hao's exaggerated voice came from the phone.

"It's just a finalist, the best actor has to wait for the review, and the review has to wait for the final review, congratulations." Lin Xiao smiled and quipped, "Your brother and I are going to Paris again, let's go together for the next play." ”

"Show off! Definitely a show! By the way, Sister Zhao and Sister Zhou are also next to me, and I helped them congratulate them together. ”

The sound of congratulations one after another took almost twenty minutes to stop after answering the phone, and the last call made him unexpected.

"Mr. Lin." Zhang Ziyi's beautiful voice rang on the phone, "Congratulations on being shortlisted for the main competition unit, rest assured, I will actively cheer for Mr. Lin's movie." ”

Thinking of this sentence, he couldn't help sneering in his heart, people are precious in self-knowledge, although he knows that since 06 years, Chinese female artists will usher in a rapid development, Zhang Ziyi has officially started the international model from this year, this Cannes is the springboard for Chinese divas in the future, and Fan Binbin, Li Binbin, will also be favored by the four major fashion festivals such as Paris and Milan next year, and end their not brilliant six years in the fashion industry, and set foot on the international Avenue of Stars.

But why did she Zhang Ziyi make a look of "I will help you"? Everyone is an artist, her status is far from Lin Xiao's now, what about Mou Girl? Even the national teacher above her didn't dare to say that she suppressed Lin Xiao in film and television.

is just a judge, Zhang Ziyi, who has lived under the shadow of Zhang Yimou for six years, is already impatient to show her style to the world, and she got carried away and had problems speaking.

"Well, that's troublesome for the judges." After saying a word, he hung up the phone.

The Cannes notice was released all over the world, and the film and television circles around the world moved.

Christina personally took Lin Xiao to Beijing, and she knew that Cannes was not just an award ceremony.

Lin Xiao was extremely reluctant to hold the two children, kissed their faces with saliva, took several photos, put them in his wallet, and then embarked on the journey to Beijing.

On the plane, the two people are sitting in the first class, and Christina is imparting some necessary knowledge to each other.

"Mr. Turtle, have you ever been to Cannes?"

“…… No. ”

"So, Mr. Turtle, do you know what kind of awards ceremony Cannes is?"

“…… I don't know, I think you can just say it, and remove the previous title. ”

"Okay, Mr. Turtle." Christina cleared her throat, "These things, you have to know. First of all, you have to understand that Cannes is not just an awards ceremony, it is a grand event, and even the awards ceremony is not its grandest. ”

"As we all know, Cannes is divided into six sections: the main competition, the Directors' Fortnight, Un Certain Gaze, the Critics' Week, the New Look of French Cinema and the Side Market Exhibition. Guess which unit is the hero of Cannes at the top of the four major film festivals? ”

Lin Xiao thought for a moment, "The main competition? Director's Fortnight? ”

Christina shook her head, "Wrong, it's a side market show!" ”

"This is the world's largest film market. You know, the film system implemented in Europe and the United States now, independent productions basically can't survive, of course, The Lord of the Rings is the exception of the exception, and it doesn't happen in ten years. It can be said that independent producers, they have not signed a distribution contract with any company, in Europe and the United States, 90% of the production companies are in the hands of the Big Six, but because of the monopoly law, Europe and the United States do not allow production, distribution, and theaters to belong to the same company, so the Big Six do not have management power over them, and the relationship between the two parties exists in the contract. As for independent productions, many of them are small productions that are invested in by people but are not eye-catching by the company. ”

She continued, "There is basically no possibility of distribution for this kind of production, because most of their artists are students, the screenwriter has a name but also no agency, and the director may be a little famous, but there is no agency either." In Europe and the United States, there is only one destination for scripts, movies, even finished products, without the guarantee of a brokerage company, and that is the trash can. ”

"So, WMA was reluctant to sign you at the beginning, because you didn't have a world-class agency, but you took on the role of director across the industry, which is not allowed in Hollywood rules, and you are increasing the bargaining chips for the whole movie, and it is a medium-sized investment of tens of millions of dollars. They think you're irresponsible, and if you go to Hollywood in the future, someone will definitely attack you with this article. She glanced at Lin Xiao and said, "There are countless independently produced films in Europe and the United States every month, where are these movies flocking?" There are quite a few companies in Hollywood that are willing to pan for gold from independent production, and in fact, there is a strange flower that relies on independent production to make profits and even surpasses the Big Six in some cases. ”

"Lionsgate." Lin Xiao said with a sigh.

"Yes, it's the largest independent producer in the United States, or an independent producer buyout, and 90 percent of independent productions flock there every year. However, the Hollywood rules still exist, even if it is handed over to Lionsgate, only those who have recommendations and agents will be put on the proposal table, and 80% of those who do not will go to the trash. But if the investment can't be recovered, what should be done with these films? Thus, there was the Cannes Side Market Exhibition. ”

"Here, you can see more than 70% of the world's independent producers, some directors looking to make their mark, some are new talents looking for Bole, and they are all eager to be seen by the big guys in the side market. Because in Cannes, not only the world's biggest stars will be there, but also the representatives of the Big Six. Why is Nolan's voice so high, because he is a typical history of grassroots rise, and his memory fragments were discovered at the side market exhibition, which led to the Batman behind him. ”

"The ability of the side market to attract money, countless films are sold here, and this is the prosperity of Cannes. Hehe, I'm afraid it's overcrowded now, right? ”

"What's the matter with Guan Poxiao?" Lin Xiao asked in surprise.

"Of course there is! And it's an important thing! Christina said solemnly, "China's population of more than one billion, do you think that you are making movies, the three major schools, other emerging film companies, TV companies and TV stations that want to transform from TV dramas to big screens, they are also shooting, there are dozens of big stations in China, hundreds of sub-stations, how many movies are there?" They don't get to go to Cannes, so they need to go to Daybreak, or Huayi, or their team, which is the most famous production company in China right now, so that they can be convincing. ”

"What if you don't enter?" He asked curiously.

"It's very simple, it's like a hot-blooded college student, holding a copy outside Cannes to find Bole. But the odds are one in a thousand. Hehe, you'll know when you get to Cannes, and the crowds outside will definitely surprise you. The Side Market Exhibition is the most dynamic part of Cannes, and its importance even exceeds the main competition unit. Maybe their main competition unit will use a strange judge like an artist, but it is definitely a famous party to maintain the side market exhibition and host it. ”

Lin Xiao pressed his temples, "Okay, I know, in short, what you mean is that if Dawn wants to gain international popularity, it needs a big booth and countless movies." Looking for Qin Zhong's approval, in addition, I have nothing to do with the distribution, and Vice Chairman Han of China Film may have already organized a team. ”

Thinking of this, he was extremely eager for the contract in Wang Guohui's hand. Even if it's because it's going to fight with the five major theater chains!

If you have it, every year in Cannes, it's a huge gold rush market, and once you get the right to distribute foreign language films, coming to Cannes at dawn is not just about walking the red carpet. The subsequent rise in international popularity was very useful for his establishment of the Asia Pacific Film and Television Awards in '07 and its consolidation.

"This old man loves to hang people's appetite too much!" He couldn't help but curse indignantly.

got off the plane and casually asked Christina to get some entertainment magazines, only to find out that Cannes' influence has swept the world.

Almost all the film and television magazines in hand use Zhang Ziyi, Wong Kar-wai and his photos as covers, and the titles are more terrifying than the other.

"The rise of Chinese films! Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai is the chairman of the international award Cannes Film Festival! ”

"Lin Xiao, the king of China, was shortlisted for the main competition unit! Mou girl Zhang Ziyi served as a judge of the Cannes Awards! ”

"The best answer sheet in the film and television industry in ten years! Lou Ye's 'Summer Palace' was shortlisted for the main competition! ”

Sprinkled with bells, headlines on the front page, all Cannes, this is still half a month away. You can imagine what a grand occasion it will be on the day of Cannes!
