Chapter 490: Can This Movie Hit Cannes?

When Zhang Yi signed the contract in Fenghua, Brother Xiao Ming was studying the structure of the human body in the large flat of Yanjing, and the object was naturally a big baby.

Brother Xiao Ming and Big Baby have known each other for a long time, and in February this year, the two of them met each other and quickly walked together.

The big baby is already planning to go north, and in the future, he will mainly mix in the mainland entertainment industry and contribute to the mainland film and television industry.

She had just gone north to Yanjing from Hong Kong Island, and Brother Xiao Ming picked up the big baby, had lunch, and then couldn't control herself.

The two of them are in love, and it is normal for Brother Xiao Ming to be unable to help it.

Not long after, Brother Xiao Ming was sublimated, and then covered with a quilt, planning to sleep and fight again when he woke up.

The big baby can't sleep, Brother Xiao Ming took over Li Shengyao's new movie male lead, the news has spread, and now the news in the entertainment circle is reporting.

She is proud of her vision, she even feels that she is a lucky general, and when she is with Brother Xiao Ming, Brother Xiao Ming falls in love with Director Li.

"I'll look at the script of Director Li's new movie."

"Okay, look, I'm going to get some sleep."

It's been three days since Brother Xiao Ming got the script, but he hasn't read the script yet, mainly because he's been really busy lately.

Lee Shengyao asked him to deal with other things within a month, and he was ready to join the group in mid-June.

He is an anxious son, and in the past two days, he has met with some old friends and business partners with his agent to explain things.

In fact, if it weren't for the big baby coming today, he would have a lot of things to do.

He hopes to settle those trivial matters within ten days, and then read the script wholeheartedly and prepare a new movie.

The big baby then took the script of "1937" and read it carefully.

As an ambitious artist, she is actually very curious about what the story of Director Li's movie this time will be.

Two hours later, the big baby finished reading the script, and Brother Xiao Ming was still asleep at this time.

After all, people in their thirties don't recover so quickly.

The big baby frowned slightly, not because of Brother Xiao Ming, but because she felt that the script of "1937" was not as good as she imagined.

This story is very simple, in a nutshell, during the Battle of Songhu, two soldiers passed orders, and experienced a lot of things during the journey.

Such a story can only be said to be at an upper-middle level, far from being excellent.

"Impossible, isn't Director Li's ability to write scripts very strong, is it because my aesthetics are not good enough, or I ignored some details."

The big baby thought about it, and then looked at it carefully.

This time she finished watching it, and it was already dark.

Brother Xiao Ming also woke up, but she still couldn't help frowning, the same feeling as after the first time.

This story has a maximum of seventy-five points, which is not excellent.

"How's the script?"

Brother Xiao Ming slept for a few hours, and he was refreshed again, grabbing it with his right hand.

"I ......."

Brother Xiao Ming smiled, "It's definitely exciting, Director Li told me that the goal of this film is to be the Cannes Film Festival next year." ”

The big baby blinked, "Director Li said he was going to storm Cannes?" ”

Although she is a young model and has no culture, she is all in the industry, and she knows very well how difficult it is to be in Cannes.

Although there are three major European theories in this world, in terms of the difficulty of participating films, Berlin and Venice are far inferior to Cannes.

The Cannes Film Festival requires films that have not yet been screened in order to be eligible for the festival.

The number of films participating in each Cannes Film Festival is the highest in the world, generally around 500, and among these 500 films, only about 20 are generally shortlisted for the final selection.

These participating films are all excellent films from all over the world, and only about 20 of them can be shortlisted for the finals, which shows how high the elimination rate is.

So far in Chinese films, only "Farewell My Concubine" has won the Best Picture of the Palme d'Or.

"In the Mood for Love" was ranked as the No. 1 film of the 21st century by the world's most authoritative film magazine "Sight and Sound", and ranked eighth and ninth in the entire film history.

Such an excellent movie did not win the best movie.

Because the Cannes jury believes that the film has made outstanding contributions to the use of light and shadow, but the connotation of the film is still not enough.

That year, "In the Mood for Love" only won the best actor and the highest technical award at Cannes.

"This movie is going to win the Palme d'Or?"

The big baby couldn't help but ask.

"Uh...... I didn't say the Palme d'Or, it meant that I was going to hit Cannes. ”

Brother Xiao Ming was a little puzzled, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I don't think the script is as good as I thought it would be."

Brother Xiao Ming smiled when he heard this, and nodded, "I'll see later." ”

He knew that the big baby didn't have any culture, and he felt that the big baby was not good at aesthetics, and he didn't take the big baby's words to heart

The two then went out to eat together, then the big baby went to play games, and Xiao Ming picked up the script of "1937".

He prepared a notebook and planned to study it.

Two hours later, Xiao Ming's notebook was full of three pages.

He wrote down all the changes in the actor's mentality, and added some personal insights.

However, Brother Xiao Ming also frowned.

Director Li said that he wanted to attack Cannes, and also said that he would let him win three gold medals in China.

He was really looking forward to it, hoping that the story of this movie would be wonderful, but it was like Big Baby's words.

It's a story at the upper middle level, not as exciting as I imagined.

"Isn't it as good as I imagined?"

"It's okay, the story is very meaningful, and the characters have grown."

The big baby passed by to get a drink and asked casually.

Brother Xiao Ming didn't want to fall into the prestige of Director Li, so he casually said something against his will.

After the big baby left, Brother Xiao Ming then read the script again, and this time the result was the same as the last time.

This script can only be said to be good, but not to the point of excellence.

Brother Xiao Ming thought that he would have to prepare this movie for the next year, and he was a little stunned for a while.

Li Dadao clearly said that he wanted to impact Cannes and let him impact the domestic three golds, why is this story?

He couldn't help but call his agent and tell him about his situation.

Soon after, the agent came to Xiao Mingge's house, and then read the script with him.

The agent watched it quickly, and finished reading it after an hour and a half, and he also looked confused, his eyes full of suspicion, "Xiao Ming, this script...... It doesn't feel that good. ”

"Isn't it, I see it the same way with the big baby."

Brother Xiao Ming smiled wryly, as the so-called hope increases, the greater the disappointment, he also thought that this movie was really at the level where it could impact Cannes, but this script was too ordinary.

"Then do you want to quit?"

"This is not good, I can't offend Director Li," Brother Xiao Ming rubbed his face with his hands, feeling extremely tired, "I'll prepare well, this movie shouldn't be able to impact Cannes, don't be confused, prepare well, it should be no problem to get two or three hundred million box office in China, I haven't starred in a movie with more than 100 million yuan." ”

"Well, if the reporter asks you, you just follow Director Li's meaning and say, just film well."
