At this stage, the information in the mainland entertainment industry is still quite backward, and the gossip news is not as heartbroken as in later generations.

In addition, there is no director's work in the exhibition this time...

Except for a few major portals that sent special reporters to report, there is basically no official news...

In fact, they came to report because they thought that Jia Zhangke could create a miracle or something, after all, Lao Jia's previous "Ren Xiaoyao" and "Platform" were all shortlisted for the three major film festivals.

As for "Distinguished Citizen"...

Chen Daoming took a few interviews and briefly commented on "Outstanding Citizen" and screenwriter Shen Xudong...

Straight to say, 'Some of the characters are played, younger creators, making movies is making movies, and they don't care about anything else, they don't think about the box office, they don't think about anything else, they don't think about anything, they just make movies.' ’

By the way, there's also 'Congratulations to "Heroes" for winning the North American box office for two consecutive weeks'...

That's right, it's Heroes!

How can Chen Daoming answer, of course, 'Congratulations to Director Zhang'!

Pulling it back, no one expected that after the screening of "Outstanding Citizen", so many reporters would come around...

Wang Qingqiang acted as a translator, tossing for almost half an hour, basically asking Guan Qiao...

European film festivals, all the directors are admired, also called author films...

Guan Bao was a little uncomfortable at first - after all, this was not his movie.

Later, I let it go - why isn't this my movie?

I'm the director!

……

Shen Xudong watched the people on the stage blowing, but he was thinking about "Hero" in his heart...

"Hero" won the North American box office championship for two consecutive weeks, which can be regarded as a little comfort to Ah Mou's wounded heart...

The closing ceremony of the Athens Olympics was messed up, where are the 14 girls writhing around, and the clothes they are wearing, what to say?

Splendid white legs with a long history of 5,000 years!

said that the cheongsam is not a cheongsam, that the short skirt is not a short skirt, and it comes out wrapped in a flower quilt, and the slit is still very high...

followed by kung fu and Peking opera, and the last little girl sang "Jasmine".

Boy!

Before the closing ceremony was over, there was already criticism on the Internet, and by the next morning, it was overwhelming.

The content of similar performances is old-fashioned, the performance form is outdated, rigid, hodgepodge, and does not show Chinese culture...

In a word: Jiang Lang is exhausted!

Although the performance was only 8 minutes, the questioning of Ah Mou continued until the opening ceremony of the BJ Olympics, which lasted for four years.

After this performance, from the direct instructions of the leaders to the letters from the masses, it can be said that there are a flood of bad comments, and many people even directly put down cruel words: Can Zhang Yi be the director of the opening ceremony of the BJ Olympics again.

Later, Zhang Yi said in an interview: "In the past 8 minutes, the level of scolding, the occasion of scolding, the number of scolding and the number of people are quite a lot and quite high." ”

Because of this, on March 1, 2005, when the solicitation for creative proposals for the opening ceremony of the BJ Olympic Games began, Ah Mou directly gave up the bidding.

Later, a leader kept looking for Ah Mou, saying that he should contribute to the country, and Ah Mou gathered the team and began to prepare the bidding for the opening ceremony.

At the bidding meeting, Ah Mou was successfully elected as the chief director of the opening ceremony of the BJ Olympic Games...

So, it has to be Ah Mou!

Is it possible to write a script for Ah Mou?

"The City Full of Golden Armor" is too timely...

At that time, the great domestic directors cut off the content and meaning of art, leaving only the form and technique of art. Advocating the beauty of form, art for art's sake.

This thing has also been used in history, the gorgeous prose of the Six Dynasties, heavy on form and light on content.

However, future generations only remember Zuo Sitao Yuanming!

……

The next day, the official house magazine and the local Italian media gave "Outstanding Citizen" a score of 4.00.6!

The perfect score is 5, and 4.6 is already very high...

Moreover, some media have even put the Golden Lion Award crown directly on the head of "Outstanding Citizen", it seems that this film is indeed very pleasing to the Italian media...

It is estimated that there are also reports in China, but Shen Xudong and they don't know about these, Wang Qingqiang is discussing copyright sales with Cao Huayi, who came over on purpose.

"Last night, more than a dozen filmmakers approached me to negotiate the price!"

“… Is it sold? ”

"Eight were sold, the Netherlands, Hungary, Sweden... such a small country..."

"Just sold it?"

Wang Qingqiang explained: "The European film market looks very large, in fact, it is mainly concentrated in Britain, France and Germany, Italy and Spain can also occasionally be ranked, and the others can be ignored... Sell it at an open price! ”

Yes, the total market volume of these countries is here, and Hollywood blockbusters account for 90% of the share, so how can there be room for films from other countries?

Film companies participate in film festivals every year, just like picking up leftovers, picking up some small-budget films, going back to tinkering, earning some hard-earned money, barely enough to live.

Naturally, the price will not be too high.

"Eight countries plus 290,000 euros..."

Cao Huayi is already very happy - 290,000 euros, converted into more than 3 million yuan!

It's basically a draw...

For him, whether he wins the prize or not is secondary, the important thing is to make money!

Haiyan's Zhongsheng Spring and Autumn Film and Television Fund is quite tight - Haiyan's works are mostly police and bandit themes, which just belong to the dramas involved in the case, and belong to the type of strict control...

"Citizen Illustrious" will be released on September 17 - the closing ceremony of the Venice Film Festival is September 11, and the plan is for a group of people to go back and promote it for a week...

Originally, it was just a small attempt - the total cost of "Outstanding Citizen" was 3 million yuan.

Haiyan was in Hairun before, and one drama could earn tens of millions!

02 years ago, the national cable TV station and satellite TV were not the same, in order to compete for the right to broadcast TV dramas, they could really offer sky-high prices - the second part of "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview" set an astonishing sales of 110 million yuan in patch advertising!

Of course, after the restructuring, the superstar pictures of "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview" once sold 100,000 1 episodes of TV series The purchase price was directly discounted by 3%, and there was no previous prepayment policy.

It's the same with Haiyan dramas...

It's not that I expect "Outstanding Citizen" to make much money, Cao Huayi's trip is mainly to assess market expectations...

After all, making copies is also expensive!

Wang Qingqiang continued: "Several other companies want to buy out the global distribution rights, and the price is too low, the maximum is only 500,000 US dollars..."

$500,000...

This price is not low!

That's more than 3 million yuan, not only the cost is back, but you can also make some money, but if you really want to sell...

"I'm in contact with MK2..."

MK2, the third largest cinema chain in France, has its own cinema chains in Germany and Italy, insisting on showing art films!

In the original time and space, Jia Zhangke's "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" was screened in MK2 theaters, and finally received more than $2 million at the European box office, and the copyright fee was as high as $4 million...

Cao Huayi didn't quite understand what MK2 represented, and it took a long time to figure it out, and then Wang Qingqiang proposed: "It's better to have a party and invite all the filmmakers over..."

"Party?"

"yes, have a party!"

Hearing this, Shen Xudong was no longer interested...

Venice is broken, or during the film festival, the whole party, a few also cost 300,000 euros!

What? Open-air?

Big brother, it's September, not May's Cannes!

Who's in the open air with you?

This kind of topic, he's not interested, let's go out and have a look...

Suddenly I feel a little regretful...

You shouldn't come to Venice – the festival has little to do with the screenwriters.

There is no reporter who will interview him, and even the number of words in the water is not good...

There's not much to do on the island either, and I'm tired of it in two days.

Cao Xiwen, Chen Daoming, and director Guan Yu all went to eat...

Why didn't he go?

They didn't send him an invitation...

Again, the film festival has never had anything to do with screenwriters!

I still think that the line of Andy Lau in "The Wandering Earth 2" is inappropriate...

It feels completely out of the main story!
