Shen Xudong felt quite aggrieved...

He was kind, but no one believed it!

has been in the circle for four years, and has made several blockbuster films, but no one still treats him as a dish.

He clearly told Huang Zhonglei that Harvey was a liar, and Huang Zhonglei still handed over the North American copyright of "Night Banquet" to Weinstein Pictures...

Zhang Ziyi is so reliable?

When people are aggrieved, they either comfort themselves or choose to vent.

Shen Xudong chose the latter!

In the face of "Nandu", he simply didn't pretend: ""Carol" will definitely win the award... When I first made "Carol", I was thinking of a Sister Gong Li and striving for the title of international actress..."

"Oh..."

"She's so good to me! I'm a person who has always reciprocated..."

Who cares about this?

Could it be that you have a relationship with Gong Li that goes beyond friendship?

The reporter changed the subject: "Are you so confident in "Carol"? ”

"A must!"

……

Gong Li is very busy, she came to Cannes, in addition to the movie "Carol", more for the brand platform!

L'Oréal, Cartier...

Especially L'Oreal, in 1997, L'Oréal Paris entered China for the first time, and signed a direct contract with Gong Li...

Nine years of friendship!

I stood five times in three days, and I changed three sets of dresses alone...

On the go.

I didn't have time to communicate art with Shen Xudong at all, but after the interview, the two went back to the hotel together, and then closed the door very tacitly...

Art is something that must be exchanged, learn from each other, and learn from each other's strengths.

The ego stuff is of course good, but the ego is used to satisfy oneself.

You have to communicate with people and slowly form your own artistic trajectory, and this feeling is the feeling of being in touch with the soul of art...

After instilling the art full of positive energy, Shen Xudong sat down and picked up a glass of water...

Gong Li sat down, slapped the hand he was exploring, and suddenly remembered something: "I feel that the theme of "Golden Armor" is not suitable for commercial expression! ”

"That's right, if this kind of movie were put in Hollywood, no company would invest in it. Because the whole story is too dark and desperate. It is only suitable for making small-budget art films, and if you invest more than 15 million US dollars to shoot such a movie, who is a fool! ”

"It's not bad... With Director Zhang's fame, plus Zhou Runfa, Zhou Jielun and you, not to mention the box office of 200 million... It is estimated that it can be sold for 30 or 40 million US dollars overseas..."

In the original time and space, the overseas evaluation of "The City Full of Golden Armor" is not particularly high - "Hero", "Ambush on All Sides", "The City is Full of Golden Armor", and "Golden Armor" has the lowest evaluation!

The box office was also the lowest - "Full of Golden Armor" was released in 1,149 theaters in North America, but the total box office did not reach $7 million!

"Ambush on All Sides" in North America is 11.05 million US dollars!

Gong Li wanted to say something, Shen Xudong made a move, she rolled her eyes, and then her sister chirped~

……

Gong Li is really mixed up in Cannes!

The premiere of "Carol" was star-studded, Jacob, president of the Cannes Film Festival, director Reesian, judges Zhang Ziyi, Monica Bellucci, and Samuel L. Jackson all came, and a bunch of Chinese filmmakers came to cheer.

Feng Xiaogang, Wu Yangu, and Zhou Xun of "Night Banquet";

Su Zhaobin, Zhang Zhen, and Da S in "Silk";

Donnie Yen and Wu Jing from "Hurricane Rescue" are also here...

Shen Xudong walked on the red carpet with the crew, and there was cheers everywhere he went, mainly shouting at Gong Li!

Although Evan Rachel Wood of the "Carol" crew is in the independent film circle, he has not acted in several independent films worth mentioning, nor has he become well-known in Europe.

Although director Todd Hynes has played in Cannes, his reputation is not obvious.

It's all up to Gong Li!

At this time, the theater had not yet opened, and there was already a long queue outside, and all the tickets for the first show were sold out.

The main creative team entered first, and after sitting down, within five minutes, the hall of 1,000 people was already full!

Cannes is indeed a little stronger than Venice.

didn't wait long, the chairman of the festival, Jacob, went up and said a few opening words, and after the show, the curtain lit up, and the premiere of "Carol" officially began.

In fact, most normal audiences don't like queer movies very much, including Shen Xudong, who used to watch "Happy Spring"...

It's a bit nauseous, there's no way to enjoy the movie itself!

"Carol" is different...

Both the picture and the composition are beautiful!

The film is shot in flashbacks, beginning with Carol and Terre's meal, and finally returning to the meal.

Just like the little train toy that Teres chose for Carol's daughter when they first met, the cycle was like a reincarnation.

When we first met, Teres was a salesperson at the toy counter at the mall, and Carol was a mother who came to pick up holiday gifts for her daughter on Christmas Eve.

In the bustling flow of people in the mall, the eyes of two strange women suddenly meet, or it can be called love at first sight.

So, when Carol filled in the delivery address on the counter, she accidentally dropped her gloves, and Teris fell into this sudden love from then on...

In addition, this is a somewhat feminist film, in order to focus on the beautiful love of the two heroines, the male characters are given a disgusting negative image in this film.

In fact, the original book is quite long - Shen Xudong simplified almost all the supporting roles, and he has no intention of spending too much ink here, but Carol's family problems and Terex's career are still very typical of reproducing the mark of the times.

Whether it's her husband Hage, who does everything to fight for Carol, or her boyfriend Richard, who is vicious because of Tris's departure, Danny, who even wants to have a relationship with Tris, and Tommy, a private investigator.

The meeting of the two heroines seems to be arranged by fate, and the moment of their first acquaintance is just right.

Carol is divorcing her husband and is entangled in custody and visitation of her daughter;

Teris maintains a seemingly non-existent relationship, and he doesn't know if his boyfriend is the love of his life.

The unstable relationship between the two sides can easily spark.

There are, of course, sparkling clips in between—Carol wants to drive out for a walk before the verdict, so she invites Terres—and along the way, the two, who had already fallen in love at first sight, become even more infatuated with each other in their day-to-day contact.

In the second half of the movie, there is a battle for custody.

Carol had to leave Terre behind - she had custody of her daughter to fight for...

The detectives sent by her husband secretly photographed Carol and Tris's evidence, and added a code of ethics to the lawsuit, asking for Carol to be sentenced to give up custody of the child.

It seems to be vulgar, no, this plot only lasted less than ten minutes, and at the hearing, Carol made the decision to give up custody of her daughter, and said to the judge: Morality? What is Ethics? I think when two people are together, this is morality, and love is love!

There is no use for eggs, because her husband refuses her right to visit her daughter, unless she cuts ties with Tris...

At this stage, Teres... was broken up, she chose to work silently, and finally entered the "New York Daily News" work, living an independent and attractive life...

Like Carol.

At the end, Carol finds Teres and returns to the scene at the beginning.

The two people at the table looked at each other and smiled...

The movie ends.
