Lao Wang is really willful!

Yuan time and space, as the chairman of the Cannes jury, awarded 5 actresses, 5 actors, the only one in the history of Cannes, and even in the history of the film festival, which scared Cannes so much that he didn't dare to invite him anymore.

It's the same this time, I simply awarded 7 actresses...

Also, afterwards, when he was interviewed, he admitted: Giving the Palme d'Or to Ken Loach's "The Wind Blows the Rice Waves" actually felt that there was no good film, so he should pay tribute to his predecessors.

Salute with the Palme d'Or...

Ken Lodge is indeed a senior!

People have already shown their prominence in the seventies of the last century...

In fact, looking at the history of the Cannes jury's operation, Lao Wang is already good, Quentin Tarantino, the big brother has been the chairman of the jury once in Cannes Venice, and he gave the Palme d'Or to "Fahrenheit 911" and the grand prize to "Old Boy" in Cannes.

Venice was even more exaggerated that year, giving the Golden Lion to his ex-girlfriend...

It is common for this to happen in the meritocratic mode, where power is not fettered.

Several judges can decide all awards, and this award model tests the judges' personal taste, and of course, there is also the possibility of dictatorship.

At that time, Adjani vowed not to give Tony Leung the best actor, Polanski resolutely gave the Coen brothers the Palme d'Or, and domestic directors awarded awards to domestic films repeatedly...

Ah Mou served as chairman twice, and both times he awarded the top prize to Li amine...

It's all a normal thing!

……

Gong Li, who has already won the Venice Film Festival before - with the movie "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit"...

A character who has long been recorded in the history of Chinese cinema.

Yes, this time there are 7 actresses, it's really a bit funny...

But no matter how funny it is, it still can't change the authority of the Cannes Film Festival, and the Cannes actress is the Cannes actress!

In China, netizens have been arguing, mainly focusing on the 7 actresses.

It's too exaggerated, many netizens feel that there is no authority, and it belongs to the laughing stock...

But more netizens feel that Cannes is Cannes, and no matter how much they operate, it can't change the fact that Gong Li won the award.

The major portals worked overtime all night, just waiting for the moment of Gong Li's coronation.

With a picture of a toast, it was posted directly on the front page of entertainment.

As soon as the on-site reporter sent back the manuscript, he put the finished template on it...

The Internet is very easy, and the traditional paper media is more troublesome.

Because of the time difference, I have to work overtime all night!

In the past, at two o'clock in the morning, the manuscript was usually finalized and typeset and sent for printing, but today, in order to wait for news, how many newspaper editors are rushing to work...

It's basically a template - "Gong Li's Coronation of the 59th Cannes Actress"...

This is just first-hand information, and then we have to look back on the past, imagine the future, and interview with the theme...

In short, in the next half month, if there is no explosive news, it will basically revolve around Gong Li and "Carol".

There are also many media mentioning Shen Xudong - he is a producer, an investor, and he has made predictions before, Gong Li will definitely win the award!

This time it's a cash-out.

Tianmei Media sprinkled the pre-prepared press release all over the Internet - how did Tianmei Media come into contact with "Carol", why Shen Xudong recommended Gong Li, and script revisions and the like...

After all, TiMi is an investor in Carol.

- Chinese film companies have a common dream, which is the Oscar!

Gao Fenfen is blowing Shen Xudong.

She felt that she had to let everyone inside and outside the circle know about Shen Xudong and establish his signature effect.

……

After the awards of the film festival, there will be a dinner, which is an opportunity for the award-winning filmmakers to celebrate, and also for everyone to communicate more with major film companies...

That's right, in addition to award-winning films, the dinner will also invite powerful filmmakers from all over the world to participate.

So, Cannes has a reputation more than Berlin and Venice, it's a one-stop-shop!

It can not only be literary and artistic, but also commercial.

"Carol" also needs buyers'...

The Cannes award is equivalent to a promotion fee of 5 million US dollars, and the Palme d'Or is equivalent to 15 million...

Kristen Wachen also rushed over from the United States, and the two took director Todd Hynes to meet many South American film companies.

MGM is a bit of a stretch of its own, as Sony has taken over the distribution of its TV and home video programs.

If you can't take care of yourself, how can you afford to release a Killer Pictures movie?

As for Sony?

The rake is too high, and people have their own Sony classics that specialize in independent films...

"The Return", the movie that won five actresses, is actually a Sony classic!

Direct Competitor Relationship...

After seeing around, selling the copyrights of more than 20 countries and regions, the harvest was okay, Todd Hines went to busy his own business, and Christine asked about the release of Shen Xudong's "Carol" in the mainland.

"It's unlikely, "Brokeback Mountain" hasn't been released..."

"Brokeback Mountain" not only was not released, but it didn't even sell the audio and video rights in the mainland...

From a business point of view, it is particularly troublesome to introduce in the form of batch films, and there are many procedures involved.

In addition to paying the copyright fee to the filmmaker, the importer also has to pay a fee at the customs, and the market is full of pirated discs of "Brokeback Mountain", and the introduction of this film is of little value.

"Carol" should be about the same...

Christine didn't know much about the situation in the mainland, but seeing that Shen Xudong said it very decisively, she didn't talk about it anymore and changed the topic: "Shen, I heard that "Little Sunshine Beauty" was sold to Harvey by you? ”

"Yes..."Carol's rush, I want him to be in charge!"

“… He is indeed professional, but... Forget it, leave it to him. ”

Harvey is difficult to do, but he does have the ability, this is the consensus of the North American film industry!

"Carol" is in a good situation for the award, Christine's connections are definitely not as good as Harvey's, and she is more relieved to hand over "Carol" to Harvey...

"You're worried he won't bother to win the prize?"

"Hmm... After all, "Little Sunshine Beauty" is also a contestant in this year's awards season..."

"It's okay, no conflict..."

The family comedy theme of "Little Sunshine Beauty" is similar to "Juno"...

Eh, Juno!

Shen Xudong instantly thought of another film work that is small and broad - "Juno".

"Juno" is much more powerful than "Little Miss Sunshine", with a cost of $7.5 million, earning $231 million at the global box office, and the domestic box office in North America is close to 143 million...

The most important thing is that Shen Xudong is completely invested in this movie!

Seeing him pondering, Christine hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay..."Shen Xudong waved his hand: "Let's go to the bar." ”

"Twilight", "Juno" Shen Xudong will definitely share the cake with Lao Mei's film company, Christine Wachen's killer film company is too weak...

It doesn't have the ability to distribute at all!

Or forget it...

Which company do you want to work with?

I'll think about it when I return home!

……

Back at the hotel, as soon as he pushed open the door and took two steps, a figure pounced, and before Shen Xudong could react, his mouth was blocked...

It's Gong Li...

It's also so welcoming!

It is understandable that once in Venice and once in Cannes, Gong Li has no opponent in the field of film art!

】

No, Maggie Cheung also twice - once in Berlin and once in Cannes...

This Cannes film was too timely, and she still had some mind when "Night Banquet" was robbed before.

Winning the award is a shame...

About half an hour, her mood eased a little and asked Shen Xudong: "When will "Carol" be released in North America?" ”

"I guess in November, I have to participate in a few film festivals..."

"Chongao?"

"Well," Shen Xudong nodded: "It's definitely going to be Ao!" ”

Gong Li was a little excited: "That... Is it possible? ”

Shen Xudong replied casually: "It's not probable, but you have to do your best..."

"Well, I'm sure I'll be able to cooperate."

Shen Xudong nodded again, but he was thinking in his heart, 'This time I will return to China, I can speak louder!' ’
