Chapter 472. Propose? Not counts! 【2-in-1】
On the first day after Cannes, although Sun Yi and Liu Yifei had not yet returned to China, the domestic media had already detonated in advance.
"China's famous director Sun Yi, at the 62nd Cannes International Film Festival that ended last night, won the Best Screenplay and Best Film Palme d'Or for the film "Untouchable", and became the biggest winner of this Cannes Film Festival with this double award, and is the second Chinese director to win this award since Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" won this award in 1993."
This is CCTV's news broadcast, although this is only a short message of less than ten seconds, but this is the second time that Sun Yi has been mentioned by CCTV in a year.
Significant.
This was followed by various mainstream media, which followed the report.
"The 62nd Cannes International Film Festival came to an end a few days ago, in the awards ceremony, director Sun Yi's film "Untouchable" passed all the way, and won the best screenplay award and the best film Palme d'Or in one fell swoop, becoming the second director to win two awards in a single competition at the Cannes Film Festival in the past 20 years"
And these media seem to have passed the air in advance, closely following the pace of Yang Ma, and conventionally removed the word youth in front of Sun Yi's name, even if he is really only in his twenties this year, he can be regarded as young anywhere.
It can be said that a Cannes Palme d'Or has raised Sun Yi to a higher level again, making up for the stereotype he has created for the audience because he is too young.
The qualifications in the circle have also faintly jumped a lot.
In the eyes of people in the industry, he has quietly changed his attitude towards Sun Yi.
It's just that in this regard, because Sun Yi has not returned to China, there is no change in a short period of time.
On the Internet, it also ushered in a big explosion, and netizens who paid attention to this Cannes Film Festival were very excited and left comments one after another.
"It's amazing."
"Sun Yi is awesome!!"
"I, Uchiha Liu Neng, would like to call you the strongest~"
In fact, it's no wonder that netizens are excited, it's really a long time since Chinese movies have been out of the circle in world-class awards, and a generation has almost passed since the years passed.
Day by day, I catch a foreign award that starts with a particularly loud name in Asia, the Pacific, Europe, International, etc., and it can be vigorously publicized and blown.
As everyone knows, netizens checked.
Nima's.
This year, the first edition was held.
It's like a special offer.
It looks tall, but in fact, it can't stand scrutiny.
How to say this, it is really not angry.
In fact, Chinese films have gone downhill after a brief period of amazement by the fifth generation of directors in the nineties.
Get to the bottom of it.
People are all suffering from aesthetic fatigue.
It's like Uncle Nine brought a zombie-themed movie to the fire, and as a result, Hong Kong Island launched hundreds of garbage movies about Maoshan Taoist priests fighting zombies within a week.
In the 90s, the scene where the fifth-generation directors went to the three major film festivals to stir up the storm was like a guiding light that opened the minds of domestic directors.
I feel that as long as the subject matter is the theme of "the changes of the times, struggle, confusion, and darkness", and the camera focuses on the dark side of society and marginal characters, then you can go to the three major film festivals in a grand manner.
And that's exactly what happened.
The Europeans were really amazed at first.
But the reasons behind it are varied.
Exploration under different ideologies, curiosity about the mystery of China, and, to put it more darkly, the fabricated demands of public opinion from the Western camp to the Eastern powers.
It can be said that the prejudice of Westerners against the Celestial Empire today, and the works of some directors in the nineties have played a lot of roles.
It's like not shooting something dark in the movie.
But no one has ever thought about whether the 2B gadgets they shoot are for art or personal selfishness when people across the country are working hard to build their homes for a better life.
However, the results were reviewed, and after the country was banned, they said anything about restricting art and suppressing creative freedom.
Even there is no shame but pride.
One by one, they compare themselves with each other.
Brother, I heard that you were banned this year? Dude, I was banned twice.
Hey, then you're a cow. Eh, one of my brothers was banned from three parts.
Call to get acquainted, let's go one!
~~
These people, like today's Mianbei, are simply a collection of selfishness.
When they go, they quietly package themselves as "victims" when they come back. ”
I was deceived, cheated, caught.
Bah.
So many people, I don't dare to say absolutely, at least eighty percent of them took the initiative to go over, just for the so-called "rich interests", and even took the rhythm and threw the pot to the local Uncle Hat who was in charge of border defense.
It's so dirty.
Let's see, is it the same, what is the difference between this kind of thing and traitorous behavior.
That is, now the harmonious society has saved them, otherwise they would have been served by a peanut earlier.
Coming back to this, Europeans are not stupid either.
I'm not wool myself, so I can't be picked up by these people.
Besides, my stage KPIs have been completed, and the effect is very good, so I don't need to fail you.
Therefore, after carving up the cake of this wave of changes of the times, Chinese films have indeed begun to decline in Europe since the beginning of the millennium.
Now, more than ten years later, although there are occasional splashes, they are not important awards.
That's why when netizens heard that Sun Yi won the award at first glance, it was really exciting, and they also began to pay attention to when the movie would start to be released.
"Has anyone seen the film, how's it going?"
"When will this "Untouchable" be released in China, I really want to see it."
"According to common sense, it will take a month, but it will not take two months."
"Alas, a little rushed."
Of course, among the many evaluations, it is not without doubts.
"What kind of theme and content does Sun Yi shoot in this film, won't it be another old-fashioned art movie."
"I'm rubbing, don't scare me, I don't want to see such a --!"
"Sun Yi filmed, it shouldn't be possible~~~"
It's no wonder that fans don't have much confidence, they treat Chinese movies like fans treated the national football team in the early twentieth century.
From the initial confidence to expectation, then drop some, thinking that there is still a chance, and finally put it directly rotten, destroy, tired.
Count forward.
Last year's 61st Cannes had no harvest.
The same is true for the '60th and '59th sessions.
In the 58th, Wang Xiaoshuai's film "Qinghong" was recognized by the jury and won the consolation jury award.
But when you taste it, what you talk about is the same old thing.
The feudal old-fashioned and stubborn parents killed their daughter's dreams, persecuted the love affair between their daughter Qinghong and her lover Xiaogen, and then Qinghong rebelled against her parents, and finally left a tragedy of chicken feathers.
The shooting technique is still gloomy, dark, and obscure......
How does it feel?
Isn't it still the same smell?
Remove the modern background and put it on the background of the Republic of China, you say that it sounds good as a family story of conflicts between the elders and children of the family, and the bad thing is that it is a simplified modern version of "The Red Lantern Hangs High".
Nothing new.
Just when netizens were discussing, Sun Yi took Liu Yifei and the staff of the starry sky back to China in a low-key manner.
At this time, Sun Yi remembered it for a long time, and arranged for the company's people to notify the airport in advance, and at the same time, the company also sent many people to maintain order on the spot.
Sometimes, some people really don't deliberately play big names, they have to get a circle of people around, and the influence is here, just the reporters who are interviewing are there, it will affect the public relations order.
Not to mention that there are fans and fans.
Sun Yi and Liu Yifei did not accept an interview at the airport, but only briefly expressed their gratitude to the fans and fans who came to pick them up, and then left in a hurry.
As soon as the two arrived home and had not yet rested, Sun Yi received a call from Han Dong, this time it was no longer Wang Bo who conveyed it, but Han Dong himself.
It's for the release of "Untouchable".
There was no way, it was not clear on the phone, Sun Yi had to kill Zhongying.
"Third master, there is no such thing as you, and the donkey of the production team is not like you, I just got off the plane at noon."
"Hey, do you think I'm willing, it's not for the sake of you kid, I'm the chairman of China Film Group, I'm trying to leave you a schedule, you're good, don't be in a hurry at all, don't take advantage of this wave of golden palms, seize the time to release it, do you wait for the limelight to pass and then re-publicize, I think you kid is a dog biting Lu Dongbin, and you don't know good people." Han Sanping feigned anger.
"No, no, thank you for the cultivation of the third master."
Sun Yi got up with a smile, pretended to be attentive and picked up the kettle in the office, and didn't blame Han Sanping for not drinking the tea in the teacup, but poured it for him and refilled it.
"Oh, you're the new director of the Cannes Palme d'Or, you can't afford it."
Seeing Sun Yi's behavior, Han Sanping also cooperated with the acting.
"Third master, you can afford it, and I want you to take care of it in the future."
Han Sanping waved his hand and said frankly to Sun Yi: "Now, I can't talk about taking care of it, I just hope that you will make more good films in the future and make more contributions to Chinese films."
"Don't worry, Third Master, it's a must."
"Let's get down to business, when do you want the film "Untouchable" to be released, do you have any ideas?"
Sun Yi took a sip of tea, thought about it for a while, and then muttered:
"In addition to the overseas distribution of this film in East Asia, I handed it over to Harvey's Wihenstein Pictures, and I wanted to try to release this film simultaneously around the world, and he gave me a month's operation cycle, which is about the beginning of July."
Sun Yi said that the global simultaneous release does not mean that all countries are on this day, this is just that the date of the big deal is approaching, and there are three purposes for doing so.
One is to exercise the ability of the starry sky to be issued.
The second is to make reasonable use of publicity resources, after all, each country is released at the same time period, and the word-of-mouth of the film can be quickly spread and influence each other.
As for the third point, it is to prevent piracy from spreading.
Han Sanping scratched his brain, groaned for a while, and replied: "It's easy to distribute this piece, China Film here in East Asia has resources, you can come with the starry sky, as for this schedule, it's a little difficult to get it." ”
"Third master, what do you say about this?"
"June 24 is the release date of "Transformers 2", if you release it in early July, it is estimated that it will not be good for the box office."
Sun Yi also frowned when he heard this, he really thought about "Transformers 2".
As the second installment of the "Transformers" series, under the premise that the first part was a big success, as long as the director is not brain-dead, he probably won't fail.
And his family knows his own affairs, and his "Untouchable" as a warm art film can't do this kind of Hollywood special effects blockbuster anyway, and the beginning of July discussed with Harvey is already the most reasonable time period after considering the operation time and publicity resources.
After all, the official release date of "Transformers 2" in North America is June 12, and the rest of the country overseas has not exceeded the 15th, which leaves him with 20 days, and has made the box office impact as low as possible.
But he never expected that this movie would be released on the 24th in China.
As Sun Yi's basic market, the Huaxia Film Market, although the overall volume is not very large at present, is also something he needs to strive for, but the country only leaves him with a short period of ten days.
To be honest, this time is the most vigorous time for "Transformers 2", and the box office potential has not been released, and he has no confidence at all.
This thing is really not easy to do.
There was silence in the office for a moment.
"Well, you don't have to worry about it, just set the publicity opportunity according to the beginning of July."
Han Sanping's sudden words made Sun Yi startled, turned to Han Dong, and hurriedly asked, "Han Dong, what do you mean?" ”
Han Sanping waved his hand, acting like a gangster, and said loudly: "Just give it another week in advance." ”
"That's it. Not okay? ”
"What's good or not, this is our Chinese's territory, I said that if you adjust the schedule, you have to adjust the schedule, unless they don't want to make this money."
Domineering
The next day, the starry sky held a press conference for the release of the movie "Untouchable", and the global release date was set in a month.
First Saturday in July.
At the press conference, the reporters also asked a lot of questions about the Cannes Film Festival.
At the end of the day, a reporter asked Liu Yifei a question that everyone was concerned about.
"Yifei, I heard that at the award ceremony, Director Sun Yi proposed to you in public, is that so?"
Liu Yifei smiled in front of a group of reporters, and did not answer directly, but asked the reporter rhetorically: "Do you think that is a marriage proposal?" Then he glanced at Sun Yi beside him, pouted and continued: "Anyway, I don't think it counts." ”
Listening to Liu Yifei's answer, the reporters were overjoyed.
If she didn't like to interview the fairy sister, she dared to say it.
Isn't this topic coming up in an instant!
Mood change? Dissatisfied? Derailment? Third-party involvement? It turned out to be a long-lost brother and sister???
Sun Yi's expression at this time was also wonderful.
's again?
Your dad agreed.
Why don't you count it?
Didn't you buy a few pairs of stockings, as for it!
It's a big deal, don't tear it up
Strive for another chapter later.
The data has fallen again, begging for a monthly pass, begging for a subscription. Thanks!
