In the domestic film and television industry, the confrontation between the north and the south is actually very serious.

Of the three film and television drama academies, Beijing accounts for 2 and Magic Capital accounts for 1.

In terms of awards, the magic capital has magnolia, and the capital has the Feitian Award; Magic Capital has an international A-class film festival, while Beijing has no comparable film festival.

That's why I came up with a Beijing International Film Festival, and it was also placed in April, obviously to steal the limelight of the Magic City Film Festival in June.

But in fact, there is a film festival in Beijing with a long history and a good run - the College Student Film Festival.

In fact, it is completely possible to reorganize and make a youth film festival on the basis of the Beijing University Student Film Festival, complement the first, and use the rich film and television resources of Beijing to provide a platform for young directors to display and socialize.

But the organizers may feel that this is too stingy and unstructured, so they still make an international film festival.

These are none of Zhang Yuanjun's business, he just needs to take "her" with Xu Anhua to participate in the publicity.

"She" was shortlisted for the main competition in Cannes, and the world premiere was of course in Cannes, but the first trailer and the first stop of promotion, the crew was still in China.

Compared with other crews that come to film festivals or promotions, "She" looks shabby on the red carpet, with only three people: director Xu Anhua, actor Zhang Yuanjun and dubbing director Sun Ye, who is also the male dubbing voice of the artificial intelligence system in the movie.

But the red carpet commentator is not ambiguous at all when introducing "her":

Now on the red carpet is the crew of "She", "She" is the first domestic science fiction literary film, which tells the story of the actor Zhou Qiang falling in love with the artificial intelligence system. Bold innovation and exploration of the ethics of human emotions have won the favor of Cannes, and it has been successfully shortlisted for the 65th Cannes International Film Festival this year. The film is directed by Xu Anhua, starring Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei, Xu Anhua's "Sister Peach" won the queen crown at last year's Venice Film Festival, Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei are both familiar and favorite actors from the audience, so I don't need to introduce them too much. ”

Walking across the red carpet, the three were also invited by the host to stop for an interview.

Zhang Yuanjun said that this is his first time at the Beijing International Film Festival: "Although the festival is still very young, I still feel the enthusiasm of the audience when I come to the scene. ”

The host said: "When Ziyi was interviewed on the red carpet just now, she said that she wanted to cooperate with you the most, let me tell you, I have interviewed many directors and actors, and they all said that they want to cooperate with you. ”

"Thank you, thank you, flattered." Zhang Yuanjun said modestly.

The host then asked, "Which director or actor would you most like to work with?" ”

Zhang Yuanjun looked at Director Xu Anhua on the side, and said with a smile: "I want to cooperate with Director Yimou, Zhou Xun and Ziyi the most." ”

After all, Zhang Ziyi shouted, and it was necessary for Zhang Yuanjun to respond, saying two kind words without losing the flesh.

"They are all good directors and actors, and when you say that, I am very much looking forward to seeing your cooperation one day. Thank you to the crew of "Her" for accepting our interview, thank you. ”

This year's Beijing Film Festival is full of stars, and the audience is very enjoyable.

However, this year's festival is not focused on screening films, but on project ventures.

This year, the film festival has opened a special project venture capital market, which has attracted many film companies to participate.

On the first two days of the opening of the film festival, a deal of more than 1 billion was reached.

"She" is not screened at film festivals, but it is also promoted in the trading market.

In the project roadshow market, Zhang Yuanjun has seen a lot of familiar films, but more of them are some films that cannot be invested and cannot be approved.

For example, the "Tang Dynasty Mystery" with Gong Li + Cheng Xiaodong's signature appeared at the first Beijing Film Festival last year, and it came again this year, saying that it was "shocking" in 13 years.

"Xinshu Mountain" directed by Huanrui Century and Yuan Heping also appeared on the market, saying that Yang Mi would be invited to star.

Starlight International, the producer of "The Legend of the Hongmen Banquet", came up with two films, "Riot Actor" said that he was negotiating Feng Shaofeng and Nini, probably in order to cooperate with the filmmaker, and the two would cooperate on this film by default; Another movie is called "Mulan Romance", and Yang Mi is planned to be invited to star.

Yang Mi also has to cooperate with Wu Azu in "Empty City Strategy", and also star in "Chinese Princess Turandot" by Meiya Entertainment.

Busy man!

The press release of the film festival said that she was a model worker.

There are also such as Li Rengang's "The Change of Xuanwumen", Tang Wei starring in "Wild Horse", and Sister Zhiling's comedy again, and Zhao Jiaban in "Accidental Hero".

Zhang Yuanjun looked at the names of these movies and felt that the film market was really cruel.

How many of the 100 films in the trading market can successfully pull funds and start up successfully?

How many of them will be successfully released after filming?

How many of them can make a profit after they are released?

Maybe only two or three of the 100 new films can successfully make money.

Zhang Yuanjun watched Yang Mi shuttling through various activities and various venture capital conferences, and suddenly felt a little pity for her.

If she knew that these movies she took over couldn't even turn on, I don't know how she would feel?

However, I heard that Yang Mi still felt that the films she received now were not saturated, and asked Zeng Jia to continue to talk about work for her.

On the third day of the film festival, Anle Pictures held a press conference for "Her", Tong Ju and Han Dong came to the scene as the film platform, and China Film as the producer, Han Dong said: "We decided to invest in this film on the second day after it was received from the group, and under the coat of film science fiction, we discussed a proposition that film art will never change-emotional belonging." ”

Tong Ju praised the film: "Very thoughtful, very bold and innovative, very good-looking." ”

Don't forget to tease some crews: "Many creators always say that we can't do science fiction, but "She" is a good proof, we have to open our minds, the angle of science fiction films can be very small, you can't say that you can't think of it, just blame the whole environment for being bad." I wish the crew the best of luck in Cannes. ”

After the leader's speech, the trailer of "Her" began to play on the big screen.

When the artificial intelligence system switched from male to female voices in the film, Liu Yifei's voice sounded on the scene for the first time: "Hi, I'm Cici." ”

The fans present burst into warm applause.

Zhang Yuanjun wondered, what is there to be excited about?

The two-and-a-half-minute trailer ends with "Promise with Voice".

Although it was only a trailer, the audience still gave a warm applause to the face.

Professional scholars and film critics at the scene can already see the theme of the film through this short trailer.

It is indeed the eternal theme of film art, the emotional belonging of people.

But the new is new in "She", which puts on a layer of science fiction, and it also fits the fashionable concept of the Internet.

Zhang Yuanjun's performance doesn't have much surprise from the trailer, it is still very good, and it is his normal performance - in fact, no matter how good Zhang Yuanjun's performance is, the audience will take it for granted.

Yang Mi also sat in the guest seat, he looked at Zhang Yuanjun, who was calm and composed on the stage, joking with the host and the guests on the stage, and asked himself if he should act in literary films, and also take a few important awards to prove himself, so that the outside world would not scold her for acting and poor acting skills.
