Every director will be anxious, it's inevitable.

People have obsessions, and they will definitely have bad associations because of this!

If this attachment is right, it is not called obsession, it is called self-confidence, persistence, and faith.

When he first started filming the online drama "Waste Wood Brothers", Xiaobai was holding back the fire in his heart, and that fire was probably called proving himself!

After all, his original plan was to be an actor, but unfortunately, the actor was blocked by Taibai!

Then, "Knocking on the Door of Heaven" really instilled a joke that he had spent half his life!

And then that drama became popular!

Looking at Taibai again, he is not a person at all...

Since then, he has stopped taking Taibai to heart.

Making movies now is more of an interest for him, and as for the box office, he really doesn't worry too much, to put it bluntly, with his current appeal, even if he hits the street, where can he fall?

"Truman's World" has been filmed, and now it has been shortlisted for the main competition unit, and everything he can do has basically been completed.

Whether he can win the award or not depends on the judges' intentions, and what he can do has already been done.

Of course, PR and the like, too, are also underway ...

No one can guarantee that PR will definitely succeed, just like Weinstein, who PR spent his whole life on Oscar, but ended up putting himself in jail...

looked at Zhang Ziyi, and Xiaobai responded very calmly: "If you are nervous... You can't talk about it, right? The main competition unit, I must have thought about it, but I don't think I need to be attached to the matter of winning the award. ”

"So, I thought about whether I would win the award, but I basically didn't have any hope of winning, right?"

Zhang Ziyi summed up what he meant.

“… Yes, but I think I should give a script award anyway, after all, the story of "Truman" is worth telling! ”

Xiaobai added.

"I think it's likely!"

“… What the? ”

Zhang Ziyi suddenly smiled: "I think you are very likely to win the award, even if you can't win the Palme d'Or, you won't be able to run the jury award!" ”

"Wow, so optimistic about me?"

"Haha, don't forget, it's Fuji Xun standing behind our play!"

……

In fact, in the past twenty or thirty years, the achievements of domestic films in art are not low, but there is no way, we have no right to speak.

The film festival, if it weren't for the help of entering the Chinese film market, it is estimated that it would have been yellow a long time ago! Foreign films are not willing to participate at all, and even domestic film directors are reluctant to participate in the exhibition!

In fact, in terms of international status, the three major film festivals in Europe are also declining.

Oscar, that's really in full swing.

Someone said that from the perspective of film art, the gold content of the three major European film festivals is higher than that of the Oscars, because they are more open and objective, the Oscars are not international film festivals, and they were originally established to stimulate the American film industry rather than film art.

However, you have to ask all directors, actors, and actresses, would they rather win the Oscar or the top three in Europe?

I don't think anyone would choose the latter!

Besides, is there still pure American cinematic art?

Hollywood attracts some of the best talent in the world!

Even so, the right of the three major European film festivals to speak in the world, especially the right to criticize film art, is much higher than that in our country!

It's often like this, whether your movie is good or not, whether your own country says it or not, even if you say it's good, when you get to the world, people don't recognize it, you have to come over and find other European masters to take a look, and if you recognize it, you can be famous in the world!

This one is sad!

But it's Sisi, how did Lao Mouzi and Brother Chen Kai get mixed up?

Isn't it the first to be called famous by a group of European masters!

If you want to win awards and become famous in Europe, either you have a huge reputation and excellent reputation among the European people, or you are a direct director of this film festival that has been in love and cultivated from the beginning, or there are big distributors behind you.

Otherwise, it's hard!

Of course, if you have Lao Zhang's skills, a "Red Sorghum" directly convinced all the judges, and insisted on using the work to let all the judges see that there is nothing to say, so that they feel that not voting for you is a crime and a desecration of art, then of course it is another matter.

In fact, although the three major European film festivals have declined, they are still good in terms of ethics!

Especially Cannes!

……

"Fuji Xun has not yet laid out overseas, what they want is to toss in China for the time being."

"Sooner or later, okay, it's almost time, let's go!"

The group stood up.

This time, "Truman's World" went to Cannes, which can be regarded as a relatively large team: five crew members, five costume styling, plus business personnel, a total of fifteen.

By the way, there are also Zhang Ziyi and Lan Yingying's filming team, together, twenty-three people!

Why did you want Zhang Ziyi to play the producer in "Truman's World"?

In addition to being suitable, of course, there are more important considerations, Zhang Ziyi mixed with Europe in her early years, and she is one of the few Chinese faces known by ordinary fans in Europe and the United States!

They have also been a Cannes judge!

When she pressed the Cannes red carpet back then, Fan Ye's dragon robe had not yet been put on!

By the way, her salary is $8 million!

Pay in one lump sum, no credit!

People originally wanted to participate in the investment themselves, but Penguin Pictures refused, and they would rather pay $8 million than have anyone else interfere in Bai Xiaofei's project.

Of course, this money was not spent in vain!

After arriving in Cannes, Zhang Ziyi used her connections to invite a group of directors, actors, producers, distributors, film critics, etc.

Fuji Xun's public relations team went out, stuffed red envelopes, or gave gifts, in short, to show their hearts, these people will also help advocate in advance, write a little text expressing their anticipation for the movie, some introductions to the director himself, and so on.

Otherwise, people on the European side have never heard of Bai Xiaofei at all, and it is not even good to do propaganda!

Not only that, but her team also made appointments with several local newspapers and magazines in advance, and after Zhang Ziyi arrived in Cannes, she seized the time to do an exclusive interview, which was published in the newspaper shortly after...

Of course, by the way, I mentioned Bai Xiaofei, after all, this is Europe, and everyone is more familiar with Zhang Ziyi than Bai Xiaofei!

Basically, Bai Xiaofei is a pure newcomer, of course, the press will disclose his achievements in commercial films to prove his popularity in China...

It's useless, Cannes is the temple of art cinema!

And Chinese commercial films can't be sold in Europe at all!

Everyone came to see Zhang Ziyi!

Look at what kind of cutting-edge director she strongly recommends!

All of this was confirmed by the full media session the next day.

Yes, France is a country with a very high degree of film criticism involvement, giving film critics more rights, so Cannes will set up a media field before the world premiere, so that the media can watch and evaluate the film first.

Although the taste of film critics does not play a decisive role, it will affect the film schedule!
