In the cinema, when the film first started, many people were a little absent-minded, and occasionally there was a "buzzing" sound of whispering.

But as the movie played, as the plot progressed, people in the cinema quieted down, and the film aroused people's interest in watching the movie, and everyone stared at the big screen quietly, feeling the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the characters in the movie.

Gu Cancan's version of "July and Ansheng" does not use the flashback technique of the original version, and directly develops the plot in chronological order, from the acquaintance of the two when they were children to the end of Ansheng raising July's daughter.

The literary atmosphere of her shooting is a little lighter than that of the original version, but the audience, especially foreigners, seems to understand the plot more easily.

The story of the film is easy to understand, even if you don't understand Chinese, combined with the subtitles on the screen, you can easily read and understand the plot.

July and Ansheng met two little girls when they were young.

There is a loving and harmonious family in July, and Ansheng is to put it mildly like a wild child that no one wants.

But two people with very different personalities and family backgrounds have a good relationship, so good that they can touch each other's breasts to see if they have developed.

But in the youth of teenagers, there will always be a certain heartthrob man.

In July, I had a boyfriend in high school and showed it to Ansheng.

According to common sense, it is good for two complementary girls to make friends because they usually have different aesthetics for men.

But if the two girls get along day and night, even the menstrual cycle will be the same, and the taste will become more and more similar.

A girl like Ansheng can't get warmth in her original family, and she is both indifferent and covetous to the warmth that others have, such a girl often has special magic because of her vulnerability, and everyone can't help but want to take care of her loneliness under the strong performance.

Including July, but also July's boyfriend.

The uninhibited and seductive Ansheng made Jiaming in a trance, and the triangular structure began to collapse.

If you follow the normal route, it will be time for two girls to tear apart around a boy, just like those youth tablets that change the soup but do not change the medicine.

But "July and Ansheng" is not, in this movie, the man is just the radish flower on the dish, and the two girls are the main course.

The potatoes and beef in the potato roast beef, without which dish will not be served.

Ansheng is a red rose, warm, fragile, and heaven and earth.

July is a white rose, gentle, stable, and quiet.

Frankly speaking, Gu Cancan's version is of course filmed well, but as the plot progresses, many filmmakers feel that this is the case, although the man's method of downplaying the conflict between the two is relatively novel, but the ending is nothing more than the two finally getting back together, or completely falling apart.

But as the plot of the film progressed, people were surprised to find that the film made by Gu Cancan, a little girl, was so amazing at the end.

She actually used three reversals.

An Sheng, who pursues freedom, married an ordinary man and lived a dull life, while July, who pursued stability, had to live the wandering life that An Sheng longed for because of Jiaming's escape from marriage, such an ending is actually full of helplessness and inevitability, and their ending may not be the result of their will choice, but more to redeem themselves and redeem each other.

This is the first ending, and it is to be expected.

It's just that I feel like if it's the end of the sample, it's something missing.

Many people thought that the story would end here, but unexpectedly, the second reversal began.

In the second ending, July becomes the brave escapee, and she lets Jia Ming run away from marriage just to have a reasonable excuse for her escape, and she sits on the hospital stairs and says what Ansheng once said: "I just don't want to make the parting too sad." Ansheng became a responsibility bearer, and she raised the children of July and Jiaming and lived a stable life.

In this ending, July became Ansheng, Ansheng became July, and the difference from the first ending is that this ending is the ending of the protagonist's free will, in fact, July planted the seeds of restlessness from his heart - the fire hydrant that the two smashed when they met for the first time was actually smashed down by July, July's so-called well-behaved and obedient, but she knows how to please adults - "A really smart person will not let others see that she is smart", this line in July points out the center of this paragraph, and Ansheng, It's just that on the surface of the pursuit of freedom and unruliness, she has never taken off the jade pendant given to her by Guo Jiaming, even if she changed the chain to hang it, her heart has actually been yearning for a stable home.

"Oh, nice handling." A middle-aged woman with yellow hair and blue eyes commented very quietly to the people around her.

Several Asian-looking people also had interested looks in their eyes.

However, the third reversal was even more unexpected.

And in the third ending (the real ending), the person who ended his life at the age of 27 is July, the so-called second ending is just An Sheng made up to deceive Jia Ming, this is a cruel ending, and the relationship between July and An Sheng is sublimated in this kind of death, and the long shot of the two people looking in the mirror at the end suggests that An Sheng has actually become July, and she is actually living instead of July.

Maybe it's because I'm afraid that this ending will be too cruel, and in the end, a warm ending (in fact, the first ending) was added - in Ansheng's, July lived freely and unrestrained.

Such a triple reversal is a very good experience in the process of watching the movie, and it is rare that each ending has its rationality without being abrupt.

In fact, what Gu Cancan wanted to express in the end was warmth and beauty, no matter how much they hurt each other in the relationship between July and An Sheng, but in the end they were intertwined with each other, no one could do without each other, and they all carried a heavy shadow of each other.

It can even be said that July and Ansheng are no longer a pair of girlfriends with very different personalities, but two sides of a person's personality.

At the end of the screening, a round of applause that was not enthusiastic, but very sincere, rang out for a long time.

The light dispelled the darkness, and Gu Cancan and several main creators walked to the front of the stage to thank the audience who came to watch the movie.

The expressions of many people in the audience were full of surprise, probably not expecting that the quality of this movie would far exceed their expectations.

"Thank you all for coming and watching our film this year, and I am very happy to receive everyone's applause, thank you." Gu Cancan smiled all over his face and bent down to thank him.

A person who seemed to be a reporter raised his hand and asked: "Thank you very much Miss Gu for bringing such an excellent work, I watched the movie just now, and what touched me the most was that the two of them had a life replacement in the second half of the period, and their lives changed." Why is this reversal set? ”

Gu Cancan thought for a while and said, "This movie is adapted from one of our Huaxia films. The most exciting thing we found in the adaptation was the swapping of lives, and they needed to have such a change. So it is natural to transform the dead, Ansheng is a flame that burns brilliantly and is quickly extinguished, but her heart longs for a stable home, so she transforms. ”

"Miss Gu......"

Several more people raised their hands and raised their own questions, and Gu Cancan answered them one by one.

Her elegant and confident performance on stage left a deep impression on people.

……

Movies that depict girlfriends' emotions are a small category, and there are not many such warm movies, but there is always a specific audience.

"Summer of Jeans", "Sex and the City", "Dear Galileo" and so on in Europe and the United States are all movies about girlfriends with high reviews and good box office.

However, there are more delicate feelings about the love of girlfriends, and there are many boutiques.

For example, Bang Country's "Sunshine Sisters" and "My Black Miniskirt", both of which have set off a movie-watching boom in Bang Country.

And the Wa Kingdom is more interested in such a subject. "Flowers and Alice", "Nana", "Tokyo Friends", "Dear Friends" and other movies about girlfriends have achieved good box office after their release in the Japanese country, which is enough to prove that the Japanese people love this kind of girlfriend theme very much.

Gu Cancan didn't think about the European and American markets, what she aimed at was the country of Japanese and the country of sticks.

"July and Ansheng" is about the love of girlfriends, this theme has a certain market in the country of Japanese and the country of base, Gu Cancan hopes that the film can attract the distribution companies of these two countries and sell it at a good price.

Her shooting is not so literary, in fact, it is also based on commercial considerations, Gu Cancan is not the kind of person who purely pursues literature and art in his bones.

Today's screening industry insiders and audiences are open, and this attendance rate is relatively good in the Chinese Film Week. In addition to "Phoenix" and "The Ballad of Yunshui", the attendance rate is higher than that of "July and Ansheng", and the other films are even more miserable, most of them except for those who come to support in China, that is, a few film companies, and the attendance rate of 30% cannot be reached.

This is the cruel reality, if Chinese films want to be internationally recognized, there is still a long, long way to go in the future.

Huaxia films, to be honest, except for Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, as well as the works of literary directors who are good at shooting so-called painful movies, there are really not many other films that can be popular abroad, and Feng Xiaogang's movies can't sell.

But Gu Cancan knows that the overseas copyright of "July and Ansheng" is not worried, and there will be no fewer interested filmmakers.

As for their peers, their feelings are a bit complicated, they are all industry insiders, and it may be difficult for them to make a movie that the public likes, but it is still okay to judge the level of a movie.

They clearly came to the conclusion that Gu Cancan's "July and Ansheng" takes into account both literary and commercial, the plot is smooth and the characters are likable, and the actors' acting skills are online, especially Gu Cancan, who would have thought that Gu Cancan could play a scumbag girl who is ambiguous with her best friend and boyfriend, not only will she not hate her, but she can't help but fall in love with this unruly girl.

Even if the directing is good, the acting is so good, it's too unscientific!

Gu Cancan had no time to take care of other people's thoughts, and after the screening, the first person to contact her was Columbia Pictures.

"Colombia?" Gu Cancan remembered the information she had seen about Columbia Pictures.

Columbia Pictures was the first of the eight major film companies in the United States to enter China.

In 2000, the Columbia Asian Production Center in Hong Kong invested $10 million to produce his first work, which was Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which not only won the Oscar of thought, making a Chinese film win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for the first time, but also achieved more than $200 million at the box office worldwide

Then the Columbia Asia Production Center signed a four-year cooperation agreement with Huayi, a private film company that was still emerging at the time, during which Columbia and Huayi cooperated to shoot well-known films such as "Big Shot", "Looking for Guns", "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", "Mobile Phone", "Ke Ke Xili", etc., and obtained overseas copyrights, making a lot of money.

In fact, as early as 1989, Sony acquired Columbia Pictures, but after the acquisition, Sony's strategy was not to highlight the characteristics of the Japanese company, so that Columbia continued to maintain American characteristics, so that Columbia has been greatly developed.

Columbia's shareholder background, Gu Cancan, doesn't care at all, she only cares about what Columbia Pictures bids.

So the Columbia company came to negotiate with a white man named Barriet Teuton, a stout man in his thirties.

Barry Teuton's face looked polite, but his figure was very strong, wrapped in a suit, as if he was going to burst the suit, which always made Gu Cancan feel a sense of disobedience.

Fortunately, his attitude was very sincere, at least it didn't make Gu Cancan feel Western-style arrogance, which was also the reason why Gu Cancan decided to dominate the conversation, otherwise she would have let others talk a long time ago.

"Mr. Teutton, your company wants to get the overseas rights to "July is Alive"?" Gu Cancan frowned and asked.

Gu Cancan knew that the purpose of the other party's visit was to get the release copyright of "July and Ansheng", she thought that the other party wanted the United States and Europe at most, but she didn't expect that the other party's appetite was greater than she imagined, and Columbia Pictures actually wanted the overseas copyright of "July and Ansheng". In other words, in addition to Huaxia, overseas copyright Columbia Pictures actually wants to catch them all.

With a standard smile on his face, Barrett Teuton said, "Miss Gu, we in Colombia have always been relatively close to the filmmakers in your country. As early as 1987, we first involved the theme of China, have you heard of "The Last Emperor" Miss Gu? This film won an Oscar, and we invested in it. ”

Gu Cancan listened to the translated words, nodded, and said to Barrett Teuton: "Mr. Teutton, I have seen this movie, it is a very excellent work. In fact, I myself am very fond of your company's movies, and several of them are very exciting. ”

After listening to Gu Cancan's words, Barry Teuton knew that Gu Cancan also had a certain understanding of Columbia Pictures, so he simply stopped selling Guan Zi and said: "We, Columbia Pictures, are willing to pay $3 million to buy out the overseas copyright of "July and Ansheng", Miss Gu will think about it. ”

$3 million, that's not too high, maybe even low.

But Gu Cancan knows that Bright Times has no foundation abroad, and if he asks Bright Times to find an agency distribution company by himself, I'm afraid he won't be able to get this amount.

Gu Cancan fell into deep thought, should he pack it and sell it all at once, or should he fight it himself?
