Chapter 392: Blanket Star?
At this year's Berlin Film Festival, there were zero shortlisted Chinese films, and when they arrived at Cannes, they were shortlisted again.
For more than ten years, it is the first time that Chinese films have encountered such an embarrassing situation.
Director Tan Jiaming bluntly said that Chinese films are now "in the worst era".
If that's all it takes, it's okay, but this year's Chinese films and filmmakers are "shining" outside the competition!
In the film market, Chinese blockbusters such as "Martial Arts", "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", "Snow Secret Fan", "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", "The Legend of the White Snake", "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" and other Chinese blockbusters released this year and next year have made great efforts in Cannes, with one poster after another, outdoor advertisements one after another, and press conferences one after another.
Chinese filmmakers are buying movies at crazy speeds and making deals at crazy prices.
"China's film market is so good! One of your companies in China bought nearly 20 of my films in a package. A seller in the United States said.
On the red carpet, Gong Li, Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing and Liu Yifei appeared on multiple red carpets, which aroused the question of "pure catwalk without works".
Among them, the first to bear the brunt are Fan Bingbing and Liu Yifei, and some people in China have already used them as targets.
"She calmly walked across the carpet inch by inch, wantonly showing off her elegance and beauty to the world, her ambition was clear, and she declared one after another that this was her time, that she was a symbol of China. She also succeeded, and the tabloids only had her in their eyes, turning Cannes into her Cannes. From the opening red carpet, she has been diligent, never missing every appearance, and constantly contributing similar entertainment topics to the tabloids. ”
Fan Bingbing has a precedent, she is professional on the red carpet, but this year, Liu Yifei has walked a lot more red carpet than Fan Bingbing at the event she participated in in Cannes.
The audience and the media are puzzled, why does the fairy sister ruin her reputation and rub the red carpet.
walked one or two red carpets, why is it not Fan Bingbing or Liu Yifei in Cannes this year, I don't know and think that these two won the Cannes actress.
Although Liu Yifei's fans have repeatedly explained for their idols on the Internet, Liu Yifei was invited to Cannes by the brand, and the red carpet she participated in was all seriously invited, and she was very popular with various brands.
But it's useless, the number of fans is still small after all.
In a film festival, you don't have a work shortlisted, but the report is you, you are guilty!
It stands to reason that Liu Yifei now has her own more outstanding masterpieces and Hollywood stars, even if she is sprayed, she should be a little better than Fan Bingbing, who has no outstanding achievements.
But even if Liu Yifei didn't offend people, she also blocked the way of many people, and there are many people who don't rub the red carpet and black her, let alone now.
Some people on the Internet have already said that Chinese filmmakers "need to reflect", that Cannes "is not just about selling film shows", that Chinese filmmakers are "setting up stalls" in Cannes this year, and that Chinese filmmakers "play a supporting role in the show, and the market is very lively, and the Cannes Film Festival has become a soy sauce factory for Chinese filmmakers. ”
Liu Yifei was so angry after reading the domestic report: "Why do they say that about me." She was very unconvinced, "I have an official invitation letter why can't I come, I promote the brand, fundraise for charity, I still have my own film to develop, why do I scold me so hard for my hard work." ”
Then he burst into tears: "You think I want to come, run three or four activities a day, change three or four sets of clothes, eat and drink badly." Our theater moved to a new building this year, and I pushed the rehearsal and still didn't get a good deal, so why do you say that about me. ”
Zhang Yuanjun knew that she was because the film festival was about to end, all the activities were finished, her spirit was relaxed, and she was affected by domestic public opinion.
Liu Yifei's reaction is normal, and I believe that Fan Bingbing also had such emotions. If you are working hard and being scolded, no one will have a good time.
Zhang Yuanjun mixed a glass of honey water, sat in front of her, wiped her tears with his hands, and comforted: "You said it yourself, you are being invited to come, and you are not sorry for anyone for your hard work." I know you're wronged, but as artists, sometimes we have to suffer from this, isn't it good that you were said like that when you were a child? ”
"It was different when I was a kid." Liu Yifei stopped her tears, Zhang Yuanjun took the mobile phone from her hand, and when she looked at it, she had read 271 pages.
"You are more mentally mature now, and you should be stronger than when you were a child." Zhang Yuanjun put Liu Yifei's mobile phone aside and held her hand, "I promise, in the future, I will let you walk on the red carpet of Cannes with the movie in a dignified manner, if you don't have it, you can still get a movie queen, the first three major movie queens of the post-80s, you will be beautiful." ”
Liu Yifei burst into tears and laughed: "It's not tight." You also promise, what can you take to guarantee that I will definitely enter the Cannes competition unit, and I will also get the actress, and I don't even play drafts if I brag. ”
Of course, Zhang Yuanjun couldn't guarantee it, and smiled: "Bragging." Isn't it much better now? ”
"Hmm." Liu Yifei nodded, and then said, "I'm sorry for saying so many bad things to you." ”
"I'm sorry for what you told me." Zhang Yuanjun smiled, "When we return to China, where will we go to play?" ”
"Don't." Liu Yifei refused, "I want to rehearse in the theater, "The Blind City" will be performed again this year, "Four Worlds in the Same Hall" will be rehearsed for youth, and I will play Yunmei." ”
Zhang Yuanjun said angrily: "Your theater is too good for you!" "Blind City" plays Natalia, "Teahouse" plays Xiao Ding Bao, "I Have a Dream" plays Koretta, and now "Four Worlds in the Same Hall" actually lets you play Yunmei. Why did I play the role of Mass A and Soldier B? ”
"Don't you have Lu Zhaopeng and Xiao Shunzi."
"That's not the same as your second female start. You ask if you still need people in the theater, take me in. ”
"Our theater is not as popular as you, and there are not as many people as you, so many people can always get good roles every year." Liu Yifei said with a smile, "You have a lot of pillars in the theater, they haven't retreated, and you can't get out if you win the actor." Liu Yifei can see it clearly.
This is also an important reason why Zhang Yuanjun can ask for leave arbitrarily, even if Zhang Yuanjun takes this actor and that actor, but Renyi Theater now has enough actors, Pu, Feng, He, Liang, Gong, Yue and other pillars are at the most golden age of actors, and the theater does not need Zhang Yuanjun for the time being.
At this stage, Renyi is more about treating Zhang Yuanjun as a mascot, and Zhang Yuanjun will thank the Film Academy and Renyi Theater for their cultivation and tolerance every time he wins his acceptance speech.
Liu Yifei was reluctant to travel, and Zhang Yuanjun was not reluctant, and said: "It's okay, anyway, "She" is still early, and there is nothing to do in the second half of the year, and I will go back to the theater to rehearse two plays." You're okay in Cannes, right? ”
"It's gone."
"And we'll go back tomorrow?"
"Okay."
"You drank the honey water, and I will invite you to eat delicious food later, you have worked hard for the past few days." Zhang Yuanjun got up to clean up.
