Chapter 389 Coronation (4/4)
Han Xiaoxi is an investor in "Rizhao Chongqing"...
He is not a coal boss, he is a screenwriter.
Representative works "Extraordinary Dao", "Perfect Ending" and "The Family of Gold Powder".
Of course, he is only one of the screenwriters of "The Family of Gold Powder"...
Invest in "Rizhao Chongqing", and definitely hope that the movie will be a big hit!
Now the situation is obvious, if you don't receive the closing invitation, it means that you haven't won the award...
If you can't sell overseas copyrights, you can expect to win the award in the end...
Han Xiaoxi was angry!
also saved the idea of hype, and held a press conference in Cannes, scolding Wang Xiaoshuai in person:
"After the first version of the sample was cut out, I was a little dumbfounded, I watched it for ten minutes and it came out, and I was able to make a documentary, and I saw that I kept walking, how could there be any commercial elements. As an investor, for me, cinema is first my product, and then his work. ”
Wang Xiaoshuai said: I choose serious films, fundamentally speaking, it's not that I don't want to make commercial films. It's mostly personal, because I don't really like the same feeling as everyone else. If I walk into a forest of cash crops and see the same crops all around, I feel bored. I prefer to be a rare species of this land. Moreover, commercial films are not so easy, and they can't be successful if they want to do it.
Then you can use your own money to grow species!
You take the investor's money and then make your favorite movie, you are called a hooligan!
He also posted on Weibo, 'You must control the movie by yourself!'
When you take people's money, you can dislike others for being amateurish, according to Han Xiaoxi, Wang Xiaoshuai is a big shot, and this film will be transformed into a commercial film...
And Han Xiaoxi is a person in the circle, and he also graduated from the Department of Literature of Nortel...
This incident quickly spread to China and immediately sparked a lot of media discussion.
Mainly concentrated on Time.com, most netizens said that Wang Xiaoshuai was rubbish, and some people said that 'it seems that idealistic people are not easy to do'...
It's not bad to do, you just don't spend other people's money!
Sina's reporter found Shen Mengxi and asked him what he thought, and his answer was simple:
"First, since the movie is made and put in theaters, it must be for the public. Overemphasizing his so-called concept, making it obscure and pretentious, it is better to shoot DV and enjoy it at home. ”
"Second, the serious movies that Wang Xiaoshuai said, in the mature market, serious movies are indispensable, which is very important, this is the foundation of movies. But the movie has its peculiarities, it is a high-investment product!
Therefore, it is definitely not possible to unilaterally only focus on art, especially now that our country's films need to develop towards industrialization!
It is very important to make money-making commercial films, which is like a material foundation, which determines whether our film industry can continue to develop well.
What kind of director is needed, there are those who take us to think, and there are those who play with us, but human nature is to be easy and hardworking, so it must be easier for people to accept and let people enter the cinema with play, so it is obvious that such directors need more, which is also in line with the laws of the film industry!
Wang Xiaoshuai: They are the foundation, but they can't account for too much of the proportion.
The ratio of the two types of directors should be appropriate, which has a great relationship with the development of the film itself and the level of the film that the audience can enjoy.
If a new director comes to me to talk about an art film and the script is good, of course I will invest, but the cost cannot exceed 8 million, and if it exceeds 8 million, I will not be able to get it back!"
......
This topic is really a bit of a cliché...
In the final analysis, it is a dispute between commercial films and art films.
But that's an eternal topic!
If you go to Zhihu now, you can also search for a bunch of topics about literary films...
For example: 'Is the market closed the door for literary films, or is it a refusal to take the initiative to approach the industry?', 'Why are domestic literary films worse than Western literary films?'
Why is it worse than Western literary films?
That's because you see less!
Back in Cannes, now the whole circle is paying attention to "Carol", or whether Liu Yifei can win the cup smoothly...
If she can, then she will immediately become a first-line actress, and no one can question it.
There are awards, there is commercial value...
Who else dares to question it?
......
Lumière Hall, Closing Ceremony Award Ceremony.
Tim Burton and the judges are probably tearing up, they have already opened, and they haven't come over yet...
This is also normal, nine judges, each with their own preferences and selfishness, how can it be so easy to compromise?
Liu Yifei sat next to Shen Mengxi and asked him about the reporter's interview just now.
"To put it bluntly, investors want to make money, Wang Xiaoshuai wants the box office, but he can't do it, he himself said that he can't make commercial films, he already has a mindset, it's not easy to transform, naturally, he still can't help but return to the old way of self-expression, so it's yellow!"
"Then why are they asking you for?"
“... If you don't ask me, who will you ask?"
After thinking about it, Shen Mengxi advised: "If I ask you, you will say that you don't care about this!"
Liu Yifei asked very strangely: "Why?"
“... There is a large group of people who engage in literary films in China, you are an actor, it is better not to offend them..."
The young lady nodded, and shook her head again: "I didn't plan to cooperate with them..."
"I know, but don't hold a grudge either..."
At this time, many actors in China were watching the live broadcast - Sina bought the broadcast rights.
Among them are Yang Xiaomi and Liu Shishi...
As mentioned above, Yang Xiaomi's perception of Liu Yifei is very complicated.
With a hint of jealousy, but also a blessed mentality.
- It's a bit far away, after all.
She is now more concerned about the performance of the next waves.
"Do you think Liu Yifei can win the award?"
Liu Shishi thought for a moment and replied: "... There is a high probability of online analysis, but no one can say!"
Yang Xiaomi rolled her eyes: "If you say it, you don't say it!"
“... Do you want her to win the prize?"
Yang Xiaomi struggled for a moment, and nodded in the end: "It's still hope!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, if she wins the award, our company will go public, and the stock price will definitely rise a little..."
"It's stocks again, how many shares of our company did you buy?"
"240,000 shares..."
"How can it be only 240,000 shares... Didn't you sell that one?"
Yang Xiaomi sighed: "... Her stock is in his dad's hands..."
"I don't think she's willing to sell!"
“... Nonsense, who wants to sell ... Yo, the judges are out, and here we go!"
It really began...
As the host, Charlotte Gainsbourg, last year's Cannes actress, won the actress with "The Antichrist"...
Balabala said a few words, and then began to present the awards.
At the beginning, there was a kind of attention unit, without exception, a kind of attention to the best picture was awarded to "Heart Labyrinth";
Qi Yukun was so excited that he was about to cry.
After that, there is the main course, the main competition unit award.
The first Jury Prize: Awarded to "The Screaming Man"...
As far as you can see, there are circles of ideas about awards all over the world, and the Cannes Film Festival must be close to French cinema!
The Jury Prize and the Jury Prize include Best Actor, which was given to a French filmmaker on Douban.
Then came Best Actress, Shen Mengxi noticed that Tim Burton's eyes were a little trance...
Can this thing still have an accident?
It did appear, and the name of Juliette Binoche who was shouted first ...
The 46-year-old actress, after clearing Berlin, Venice, and the Oscars, finally brushed off the Cannes copy and became the first Grand Slam actress in history.
Liu Yifei pursed his lips...
A little aggrieved, but more still happy - not winning the Best Actress means that the Palme d'Or is in hand!
Actually, she has a hunch - the poster character for this year's Cannes is Juliette Binoche.
People are the pride of France!
"Legal Copy" itself is of good quality, Juliette Binoche acted very well, and it is reasonable to win awards...
"And Liu Yifei..."
She was clapping when the presenter called out her name...
That's right, double yolk eggs!
She was stunned for a moment, the crew of "Carol", including Shen Mengxi, had already given a standing ovation...
