Chapter 0289 - My Big Brother Liu Furong (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Although Hao Yun, Luo Jingmin, and even Zhou Yun are newcomers to the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival, Jiang Wen is a great director loved by Europeans and enjoys the same international status as Zhang Yimou and Wang Jiawei.
What's more, he had also married a French woman before.
Divorce doesn't mean anything, Zhang Manyu married a French man and divorced, but the French still love her.
Therefore, after a few people boarded the Avenue of Fame in Cannes, the crowds on both sides resounded a lot of shouts, and the heat was higher than Jiang Wen's going to the Xiangjiang Film Awards.
Comparatively speaking, the openness of the three major European film festivals is much greater than that of the Xiangjiang Film Awards.
The Hong Kong Film Awards are like a private party with a wall in the background.
Well, the same goes for the Academy Awards.
I can't write two kinds of "Academy Awards" in one stroke, and the style is perfectly consistent.
Jiang Wen took Hao Yun and them to stop and take pictures.
There are media from all over the world, and there are a lot of domestic ones, and when I see a Chinese star appearing, I don't hesitate to press the shutter with my fingers.
After filming for a while, Hao Yun pulled Luo Jingmin to go first.
Give Aunt Jiang Shuwei a chance to appear independently.
After all, Zhou Yun is dressed more beautifully than flowers today, and the ginger smells like a lump of cow dung.
A handsome young guy like Hao Yun has also attracted a lot of attention.
Most people think he is an actor in Jiang Wenxin's movie.
After all, Jiang Wen likes to use this kind of rookie actor, and he can also bring out new actors.
In 1994, at the Venice Film Festival, Jiang Wen used "Sunny Days" to put 18-year-old Xia Yu on the throne of international actors.
In one fell swoop, it set a new record for the youngest age of Venice actors, and no one has been able to break it so far.
However, the real film media people know that Jiang Wen did not bring the film to the exhibition this time - he is still banned.
Instead, he participated in a movie called "Heart Labyrinth" as a producer.
The young man in front of him is the titular director and screenwriter of "Heart Labyrinth".
Everyone may suspect that this movie is Jiang Wen's handiwork - it's strange not to doubt it, especially since the domestic media has been talking about it.
There is Lu Jin in the front, Chen Yifei in the back, and it is not surprising that there are many Hao Yun now.
However, the director, you can say that Jiang Wen is in charge, and Hao Yun is the shield and puppet he launched to circumvent the five-year ban.
But what does the screenwriter say.
Jiang Wen was blocked, but he couldn't be a director, but there was no problem with actors, screenwriters, etc.
In other words, at least Hao Yun's title of "screenwriter" is genuine.
A competition film, being able to participate as a screenwriter, can be regarded as very talented, not to mention that he is so young.
At the scene, the 14-year-old neon actor Liu Le Yumi was more tender than him.
Seeing Jiang Wen coming over with Zhou Yun after taking a photo, Hao Yun entered the main venue with them.
It was full of people, and all kinds of languages came to the face, mixed with the smell of sweat and perfume, and it was really hard to explain.
Chinese people take a bath, some wash every day, some wash two or three times a week, and no matter how bad it is, they always have to wash it once a week.
Especially those who are engaged in the profession of stardom.
However, many celebrities at the level of goddesses and male gods in Europe and the United States have the problem of not taking a bath.
They believe that doing so is natural and does not damage the microbiota on the skin, which are important for maintaining health.
Jack Gyllenhaal, the actor who starred in "Brokeback Mountain" and "The Prisoner", said in an interview with "Vanity Fair" that he doesn't think it's necessary to take a bath at all - "Not taking a bath helps to maintain the skin, and our body cleans itself automatically." ”
I don't know if their views are right or wrong.
But when it comes to such an enclosed space, you can only selectively ignore the stimulation of smell.
Fortunately, Cannes is a seaside town with many beautiful beaches, as long as you go to the sea, it is equivalent to taking a bath.
Hao Yun followed Jiang Wen like a well-behaved quail.
Only when Jiang Wen introduced him, he talked to people, and most of the time he stood next to Jiang Wen and listened quietly.
Well, by the way, a little bit of attributes.
There are countless literary film directors here, and there are many attribute thieves who have exploded.
Sometimes there is no way to admit it, whether it is the result of talent or the creative environment, foreign directors are indeed more awesome than domestic ones.
Jiang Wen took Hao Yun and his wife around.
quietly introduced Hao Yun to all the judges of this year's Cannes Film Festival.
And Hao Yun can often make the other party ignore his handsome and compelling face and recognize his talent through the way of attributes.
This talent is very pompous, and it belongs to the kind that can be broken at the first poke.
But on an occasion like today, no one has time to poke him at all.
Hao Yun also met the Chinese actors who came together.
"I didn't expect to meet you here, it's been a long time." Liang Chaowei smiled gently, with a sense of sadness in his temperament.
I don't know if it's sentimental to marry the wrong wife, or sentimental time flies.
It seems that before a blink of an eye, he was still a remnant sword ("Hero") one second, and the next second he became Zhou Muyun ("2046"), proving all this is the kid in front of him, who was a group performer before, and now he has become a guest on the red carpet in Cannes.
Some people said before that he was "Xiao Liang Chaowei", and he felt that in a few years, he would become "Xiao Hao Yun".
"I've seen the Academy Awards, but I was really stunned." Hao Yun was talking about small cards.
He didn't bother too many people at the reception, so Liang Jiahui was left alone, anyway, when he got to Liang Jiahui's coffee seat, there was no need to communicate.
It's a big deal to get a suitable script in the future, and ask Liang Jiahui to act.
But Liang Chaowei is different, if Hao Yun caught Liang Chaowei at that time, Liang Chaowei would not necessarily give him face.
This is a selfish and unsentimental person.
After chatting a few words, he went to find someone else to socialize.
Social fear is a hammer.
Hao Yun ran into Zhang Manyu and Chen Huilin again, and they all said hello superficially.
There is another category of people who are very popular on today's occasion, that is, all kinds of luxury executives, they are an important part of Vanity Fair, and female celebrities prefer to meet these nobles.
That is, Liu Furong, who is also a newcomer to Cannes, and he chatted with Hao Yun for a long time.
"You're crazy, give that kind of gift." Liu Furong pulled Hao Yun, and he couldn't cry or laugh when he thought of the gift Hao Yun brought to his house for dinner.
There should not be such customs in the mainland.
At most, bring some fruit or red wine for dinner, and whoever will give you a kilogram of gold.
Liu Furong almost didn't suspect that Hao Yun had robbed the gold shop, and grabbed a handful of the gold he had robbed.
"I couldn't resist buying a once-in-a-decade event price."
The current price of gold is less than 80 Hong Kong dollars per gram, and after the discount, almost all the manual fees have been removed, and Hao Yun simply bought a kilogram of gold.
You can't eat it, but you can use it.
And there is hope for added value.
"You are really ......" Liu Furong couldn't help but say anything like mental illness or brain problems, he thought for a while and asked: "The next time you make a movie, if no one invests in it, you can find me, I set up a Yingyi Entertainment Film Company, which has this business." ”
He didn't know about Hao Yun using Jiang Wen as a signboard to attract investment.
In his opinion, the biggest difficulty for new directors is investment, although Hao Yun has pulled the first investment, but if he can't help investors make money, the next time will be more difficult than the first time.
For the sake of the friendship between the two, he is willing to lend a hand.
He even plans to create an "Asian Rising Star Director Program", which plans to select six young directors from all over Asia and fund them to make films.
Give the new director the most room to play, and the investor will not interfere in the selection of materials, actors, etc.
It will only give the director a certain cost guide and measure the feasibility of the script, and study whether the shooting exceeds the budget.
It doesn't matter whether it is a profit or a loss, all the risks are borne by the investor.
As long as you have ideas and potential, you will invest in the future development.
"I don't lack ...... investment" Hao Yunting thanked Liu Furong for this heart, this promise is worth more than 80,000 yuan of gold.
He didn't hide it, and talked about the way Dong Ping helped him operate "Heart Labyrinth".
Liu Furong was surprised when he heard it, it turned out that Hao Yuncai understood the operation of literary films in his first movie.
And this easy appearance is simply the second Wang Jiawei.
"If there is a chance, we can cooperate, for example, you can invest in my film, I can also invest in your project if I have funds, and if you produce a suitable movie, I will introduce someone to help you operate it......"
Liu Furong's movies have the power of fighting in Xiangjiang Bay, and they have a very good relationship with the capital of the two places.
He starred in as many as 35 movies in the 80s, and 19 of them exceeded 10 million at the box office, second only to Xu Guanjie, Zhou Ruifa, Hong Jingbao and Fang Long.
In the 90s, among the top 50 highest-grossing movies, Fang Long had a total of 13 films selected, Li Lianjie was selected 14, Zhou Xingxing 13, Liu Furong 4, Zhou Ruifa 3, and Zhang Guorong 3.
Liu Furong still maintains a good momentum.
By the way, the actress with the strongest box office appeal is Lin Qingxia.
Liu Furong's films, the highest-grossing market is not Xiangjiang, but Wanwan, and his performance in the Wanwan Film Market vividly reflects the brilliance and personal appeal of Hong Kong films.
Among them, 90 years is the craziest, with a personal annual cumulative box office of more than 300 million, accounting for more than half of the total annual box office of Chinese films in Taipei, and nearly 20% of Taipei's total annual box office.
In Wanwan, there is no double Monday, some are dominated by Fang Long's family, and then Zhou Xingxing and Liu Furong.
Liu Furong's problem is that most of the movies he voted for are not good, and the previous Tianmu Film Company was finished and had a lawsuit.
If Hao Yun has a good project and finds a good operator, it will definitely be beneficial for both parties to work together.
The so-called network relationship not only refers to people, but ultimately has to be implemented in resources and capital.
A kilogram of gold is not given for free.
There wasn't much to do on the first day of the festival, it was basically a red carpet walk, followed by all sorts of socializing and interviews.
Hao Yun also received a lot of invitations for interviews.
It is impossible to come to such a place without giving an interview.
After all, Hao Yun wants to sell movies and fame, not to appreciate himself.
domestic entertainment media, Hao Yun chose "Entertainment Live"; In terms of foreign media, the Cannes Film Festival venue magazine "screen" was selected, and the time of the interview was determined.
The interview for "Screen" will be a little later, after the Cannes premiere of Hao Yun's "Heart Labyrinth".
"Entertainment Scene" is waiting for Hao Yun to come back after participating in the promotion of "New Police Story", he will return to China tomorrow morning, and then fly back.
There is no way, he has been absent from too many publicity activities, and Brother Fang Long's face can't be ignored.
