"Titanic" successfully won the nomination for the Palme d'Or, and the biggest reaction was not domestic netizens, nor people who were familiar with Shen Yu.

It's on the other side of the ocean, Bruce, the marketing director of Binks Cinemas.

Bruce looked at the shortlist of the Palme d'Or that had just been released today, and his whole face became completely stiff as if he had been hit by thunder.

After a long time, Bruce trembled and said: "That Oriental director was really shortlisted for the Palme d'Or..."

"What is the magic of this "Titanic", is it really a very good-looking movie?"

It took a lot of effort for Bruce to regain his composure and begin to carefully analyze the possible consequences of this incident.

This year's Palme d'Or is different from the past, and Cannes has officially invited such a heavyweight as Professor Jon.

In other words, the shortlisting of "Titanic" is also recognized by this film industry titan, which is quite a big honor, almost no less than the honor of winning the Palme d'Or.

Bruce rubbed his forehead with his hand and muttered, "No, I don't need to be so nervous just yet."

"No matter how you say it, the Palme d'Or is a more artistic honor, maybe this movie has a lot of depth, but it may not sell tickets well!"

Bruce's eyes lit up at the thought of this.

Indeed, in previous years, it was not without the box office of the Palme d'Or that the movies that won the Palme d'Or were miserable, and there were still one or two examples over the years.

After all, the audience is not a professional like a director or professor, and what is more important when going to the cinema to buy tickets is the storytelling of the movie.

They don't care about the depth of the movie, and if the movie is not good, they still won't buy it.

"I hope I'm too nervous, I've just been shortlisted, and I haven't really won this award yet!"

"Even if he really gets it, the box office will not necessarily explode!"

Bruce kept reassuring himself, trying to ease the tension.

Although Shen Feng signed a gambling agreement with him, even if the other party completes the box office of one billion US dollars in the first month of the premiere agreed in the agreement, Binks Cinemas will not lose so much.

If it's a big deal, you won't make the loss payment of the agreement, just make box office money.

It's just that in this case, the KPI assessment that Bruce faces this year will be a little stressful, after all, there are 300 million less American knives!

...

And those who were close to Shen Feng also laughed after learning that his works were shortlisted.

Director Feng Xuewu, who helped Shen Feng contact the actors in Haolaiwu, breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Shen Feng was shortlisted.

"This kid, it's really good, he was really shortlisted for the Palme d'Or, and he is qualified to compete with other directors for that trophy!"

Director Feng sighed with emotion, and excitement appeared in his eyes.

What is the situation in the history of domestic films, of course, he knows it well, and the appearance of a nominated movie can be said to be a shot in the arm for everyone in China.

At the same time, Director Feng himself was also excited, and a burst of pride surged in his heart.

"It seems that I can't be idle next year, and I have to sign up for the Palme d'Or Film Festival anyway!"

...

Galaxy Entertainment, Film and Television Department.

In Minister Liang's office, several of the company's main directors were invited.

Director Wang opened his mouth, his expression looked very strange, and he didn't know what to say.

The atmosphere in the office was also a little awkward, and no one was in a hurry to speak, apparently they also learned about the shortlist of the Palme d'Or Film Festival.

"Actually, we don't have to be so pessimistic, isn't "Umbrella" also shortlisted!" Director Qian patted his thigh in an attempt to ease the awkward atmosphere.

However, no one answered his words, just glanced at Director Qian twice, and then withdrew his gaze.

Especially Director Zhong, his eyes are full of unwillingness.

What are you kidding, just being nominated for an award in a non-main competition unit can also be called a finalist?

Compared with the award that Shen Feng was shortlisted for, it is far behind.

Now Shen Feng has the opportunity to win the Best Director, Screenplay, Jury Prize, and the Palme d'Or, the highest gold content, while "The Umbrella" can only compete for the Jury Award and the Film Critics Association Award, and the gold content is not high enough, and it is not even an official award!

This is also the reason why the atmosphere in the office is awkward, the whole department gathers the strength of the whole company, and even mobilizes the whole network to collect scripts, and the final result is too unsatisfactory.

"Alas!" Director Chen sighed, although he was not in charge of the filming of the participating films at the Palme d'Or, he was equally hopeless.

He knows Director Zhong's strength best, and he is even better than him in some aspects.

Coupled with the fact that it took so many company resources, it was actually nominated for an unofficial award.

"It's no wonder that after so many years, Sanlian has no willingness to sign up for the Palme d'Or."

You must know that the movie has not been released yet, and if it does not receive any money at the Cannes Film Festival in the future, the box office data may not be too good.

"The Umbrella" itself is not a movie that focuses on the box office, it pays more attention to artistry, and it is still professionals like the judges who please it.

Although most netizens in China are supporting them, saying that they will go to the cinema to buy tickets to watch it even if they run together, but when it comes to the actual release, God knows if they will fulfill their promise and say a word or two on the Internet, unless they have a bad brain.

Director Wang laughed dryly and said, "It's okay, we still have the movie "Extreme Cold"!"

"After all, "Umbrella" is only a secondary option, and I really didn't have enough time to choose this plan."

Minister Liang looked up at Director Wang, quickly lowered his head again, sighed heavily, and didn't say anything.

In an unfamiliar environment, it took more than three months to make a film that could compete for the Palme d'Or.

Compared with him, all the staff in the company's headquarters are really embarrassed.

Even if he used all the resources to operate, he didn't grasp the ability to shoot "Extreme Cold" in a few months, but chose "The Umbrella", a relatively easy movie.

How big the gap is, everyone knows very well.

"Is the gap between us and Hollywood really that big?" Minister Liang, who thought about it a lot, couldn't help but ask with a wry smile after all.

Suddenly, everyone was speechless.

Isn't it nonsense, people are good to come to the dock, the global film mecca, the world film factory.

Movies have been played into industrialized things by them, not to mention making a movie in a few months, as long as there is a script, it is not difficult to get a movie in a month!

"Forget it, fortunately, there is a sinking encounter this time, but I used him as a fig leaf!" Minister Liang said in a self-deprecating tone.

Several directors in the audience showed embarrassed expressions, can this also be called a fig leaf, obviously they ripped off their bottoms and tortured them.

The company's headquarters is not as good as a movie made by people in a branch, and it is embarrassing to say it, especially when the other party is younger than them.

Director Wang clenched his fists, and he suddenly thought that before this, Shen Feng had asked himself if he wanted to let him go.

As a result, the script was selected at that time, so I had to let Shen Feng shoot it by himself and sign up for the Palme d'Or in the name of Xinghai.

Now that I think about it, I really shot myself in the foot!
