At the end of April, the day before the Palme d'Or Film Festival was about to end, Shen Feng finally decided to miss this year's Cannes Film Festival.

When this regrettable news was officially announced, quite a few fans in China sighed.

"Alas! This year's Cannes is a bit disappointing. ”

"Without Shen Feng, I always feel that the film festival is boring, and I announce that I will not watch this year's Cannes Film Festival, unless there are other directors in China who are shortlisted!"

"It may be that there are other formation arrangements, a star of the level of Shen Feng, it is estimated that the schedule is very full, and there is really no way to participate."

"Maybe you've already started preparing a new movie with Director Feng, who joined Xinghai? Let me look forward to it! ”

"It doesn't matter, anyway, "The Shawshank Redemption" will still be released as usual, just watch a movie!"

“...”

In addition to the disappointment lamented by domestic fans, other directors in the world who plan to participate in the Palme d'Or are relieved.

"I don't know why, but suddenly I'm looking forward to this year's Cannes."

"Oh my God, I haven't found out yet, I'm so scared of Shen Feng!"

"You said that the reason why Shen Feng didn't participate was because the movie was not good?"

"Although the possibility is very small, it does feel strange that a literary film does not go to the Palme d'Or."

"Maybe it's really a bottleneck, many people make literary films and are easy to fall into their own world, and only after the movie is made does they find that the quality is very poor."

"It's not impossible, stay on the sidelines, anyway, the movie is about to be released."

There are still a handful of people who maintain a skeptical attitude towards Shen Feng's new movie, but this is also something that can't be helped, Jiang Langcai This kind of thing is not uncommon in the entertainment industry.

...

And Shen Feng himself decided not to participate in this Palme d'Or Film Festival for several reasons.

The first is that he is no longer interested in the awards he has won, and the second is that in May, he plans to hold a concert of his own.

has debuted for so long, and a concert has not been held yet, let alone the company, and even fans have a lot of complaints.

And with Director Feng joining Xinghai, Shen Feng got such a powerful arm, which really gave him more ideas.

"Maybe it's time to create an IP that can be used as a cash cow." Shen Feng made this decision right away.

Combined with the current situation of Xinghai, he alone may be able to support it, but it is better to teach people and fish than to teach people and fish, simply create an IP universe directly, and then even if he really plans to retire, Xinghe can rely on this IP for a long time.

But before that, there are other pressing matters at hand that need to be resolved.

"The domestic film conference can be warmed up first, and Shiran helps me spread the news to those entertainment media." Shen Feng said in the office.

Sun Shiran quickly responded: "Good Shen guidance! ”

...

Two days later, three days before the release of "The Shawshank Redemption", the film press conference was officially held.

Although the notice was very tight, the entertainment media had basically arrived at the scene.

I can't help it, just because it's a sinking encounter!

The top celebrities in China are very well-known all over the world.

It is almost impossible to interview Shen Feng normally, because he refuses all the daily interview invitations, and can only contact him on occasions such as film press conferences.

At the press conference, Shen Feng looked at the media and nodded with a smile.

"Thank you all for your support, thank you very much!"

Kacha Kacha!

The shutter and flash staggered, Shen Feng knew that everyone had a lot of questions, so he simply didn't waste time, and directly clicked on a media and asked:

"Then let's start with Sina Entertainment."

A reporter from Sina immediately asked: "May I ask Director Shen, everyone is curious why you didn't participate in the Palme d'Or Film Festival this time, can you tell us the inside story?" ”

I had expected this problem for a long time, Shen Feng's face turned pale, and he said calmly: "I have to keep the specific reason secret first, I can only say that it is a bit too unlucky, and the Palme d'Or Film Festival and my next schedule are a bit conflicting." ”

was a very perfunctory answer, and the reporter didn't ask more questions here, but changed the question:

"May I ask Director Shen, the current box office record in the first week of the premiere of a domestic film was created by your last movie "Titanic", do you think "The Shawshank Redemption" can surpass this record?"

Shen Feng pondered for a while, and then said: "I hope to surpass, because I think "The Shawshank Redemption" is no less exciting than "Titanic", although it is a bit boastful to say this, but I don't think the box office can be used to judge the merits of the two movies, they are both masterpieces, there is no good or bad!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone tasted another meaning from Shen Feng's words.

Shen Feng is very confident in "The Shawshank Redemption", and it is very likely to reach the height of "Titanic"!

At this moment, the media present became even more excited, and the tricky questions one after another never stopped.

"Director Shen, according to what you say, there is a high probability that "The Shawshank Redemption" will also win the Palme d'Or?"

"May I ask Director Shen, do you have any plans to use domestic actors in the future?"

"Director Shen, I want to know, is there any difference between filming in Hollywood and in China?"

“...”

In the face of so many questions, Shen Feng still answered them all one by one, and there were no problems, and now he is familiar with such interviews.

The whole press conference lasted for several hours, and the media, who got what they wanted, immediately went back and started to catch up on the draft.

Two days before the release of "The Shawshank Redemption", the content of the film press conference was quickly revealed.

"Shen Feng has such a high opinion of his new movie? In that case, it would be a shame not to go to the Palme d'Or! ”

"I've never seen such a wayward person, and I want to know what happened to him in May, and he didn't even go to the film festival."

"Yes, Galaxy Entertainment should persuade Shen Feng to stagger everything, stagger the itinerary, and set aside time to participate in the Cannes Film Festival."

"This is the honor of our entire domestic film industry, it's gone!

！ ”

“...”

However, no matter how much fans shouted, it was a pity that there was no way, because the collection of works at the Palme d'Or Film Festival had already closed, and they couldn't apply for it if they wanted to.

In this way, time passed day by day.

Finally, May 1st has arrived!

The long-awaited "The Shawshank Redemption" officially began its premiere in China!

Because it's a holiday, most people have free time.

So on the same day, all the movie tickets in the cinema were sold out!

Even if the movie theater had expected it and increased the schedule of "The Shawshank Redemption", it was still in short supply!
