As mentioned earlier, Leonardo is the biggest big name in Cannes this year, and he's still here!

Brad Pitt of The Tree of Life, who was not present ...

Most importantly, "The Hunt" is a movie that revolves around him.

This scene is a great test of acting skills, and photographer Emmanuel Lubezki especially likes Xiao Lizi, a bunch of close-ups of shots, which is convenient for Leonardo to show his acting skills...

Ma Dan, Shen Mengxi is the creator of the movie!

Just ignored?

Shen Mengxi complained for a while, then put down the newspaper, he also had a lot of things to do when he came to Cannes, in addition to "Hunting", there were several activities to participate in...

Liu Yifei, who was sitting opposite, suddenly said: "Why is the score of "Hunting" only 2.9 points?"

“... Really? I'll take a look. ”

Shen Mengxi took over "Daily Screen", opened the field book for scoring, and sure enough, five three-star, three two-star, two four-star, and the final score was 2.9 points...

"That's good, if you look at House of Tolerance, it's only 1.1 points!"

"House of Tolerance? Memories from the brothel?"

"That's right!"

"That movie sucks!"

"So, 1.1 points..."

It's very bad, and it was released yesterday, and the only thing Shen Mengxi remembers is the title - just like "Breaking into the Widow's Village at Night", except for the title, it's useless!

Why nominate Cannes?

The work of a French director has received funding from the Ministry of Culture, which seems to be 1.5 million euros...

Therefore, Wang Xiaoshuai is very envious of France, because famous directors can directly apply for funds to shoot their own works from the film support fund of the Ministry of Culture...

On the surface, it said: "The National Film Center of the Ministry of Culture accepts hundreds of candidate scripts across the country every year, and then selects dozens of them to give no more than 50% financial support." If the film can be profitable, the filmmaker needs to return the money to the film center, and if it fails at the box office, it does not have to pay back. ”

Pay attention to the latter one: box office failure, don't have to pay back!

Don't always say that domestic films don't support literary films, there really must be relevant policies, are you sure that the money will be left to new directors?

If there is really such a policy, Wang Xiaoshuai will increase his production cost from 10 million to 100 million!

- Anyway, the box office failed, so you don't have to pay back.

......

The film crew of the film channel "World Cinema Journey" broadcast live, and the host was Ju Wenpei: "The Cannes Film Festival has always been a sacred and artistic international film event, but is it really so artistic?"

"When you get off the plane and walk out into the streets of Cannes, it's as if it's been taken over by Hollywood.

The façade of the Carlton Hotel is occupied by posters and billboards from three Hollywood blockbusters, with Michael Bay's "Transformers 3" by the king of explosions occupying the door frame, "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" starring Captain Johnny Depp occupying the windows, and the live-action animation "The Smurfs" occupying the rooftop billboard.

A few more steps, J· The pop-up poster of J. Abrams' sci-fi blockbuster "Super 8" is eye-catching, and Spielberg's latest blockbuster "The Adventures of Tintin" also has a huge poster on the side.

Chinese filmmakers are also involved!

the huge building poster of "Martial Arts" directed by Chen Kexin;

Invested and produced by Huayi Brothers, "Tai Chi" starring Li Lian exposed a hand-painted version of the poster in the daily catalogue of this year's Cannes Film Festival;

Tsui Hark's "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" set up a "Dragon Gate Banquet" to entertain the media.

In the film trading market, the most active is Tang Ren Film and Television... Wait a minute, it seems to be Liu Yifei and Shen Mengxi over there, let's interview them on the spot!"

Coming closer, Liu Yifei was signing autographs for fans...

"Director Shen..."

"Wen Pei!"

Shen Mengxi was also very surprised, Ju Wenpei acted in "Departure Today", back then, Shen Mengxi saw her when she went to visit the class, chatted a few words, and was very impressed.

Of course, this is not the main thing, Ju Wenpei is a very hanging woman!

Last year, she omitted the Tokyo Film Festival that was not written, and it was she who questioned the Taiwanese:

"Are you Chinese!"

"No! Don't bully us!"

Watching the video, Ju Wenpei is really going to slap him, it's very much like a mother seeing a rebellious daughter...

Of course, there is nothing to talk about in this matter, and the Chinese delegation is also stubborn, and it will be banned when it comes back!

Xu Qiaoxuan never appeared in the mainland again...

Generally, when encountering this kind of person, Shen Mengxi will be very face-saving, so Ju Wenpei proposed an exclusive interview, and he agreed to it.

found an open-air hotel to sit down, Shen Mengxi asked for some drinks, asked the film crew, half an hour later, it was an official visit, Ju Wenpei asked him: "How do you feel about Cannes this time?"

"It's okay, it's just not too busy, otherwise, it's really like a vacation!"

"We looked at the house magazine, and the rating of "Hunting" is temporarily ranked third, do you think there is any hope of winning the award?"

"It's hard to say!" Shen Mengxi pondered for a moment, and then said: "Unless you can make a shocking film and shock everyone, otherwise, the taste of the judges determines whether you can win the award, last year's "Uncle Bumi Who Can Recall His Past Life" won the Palme d'Or, but I don't like it very much! "Hunting" I like it very much, and I also filmed it with sincerity, but no one knows if it can be accepted by the judges. ”

Ju Wenpei nodded, and then asked, "I heard that Mengxi has chartered an entire hotel to sell films?"

“... Who reported it, pure nonsense, we rented five private rooms in the hotel, and by the way, set up a comfortable living room separately, which is convenient for talking with buyers who are inclined to trade. We've been selling films for almost four years, and we've done business with a lot of big studios!"

"Why don't you go to the market?"

"There is no need, the flow of people does not mean that there are many buyers, and our brochures are very expensive, the cost price of each copy is 80 yuan, you are in the trading market, although it is easy to be taken by others, but I don't know who to take, if you see people take it, it will be more heart-wrenching..."

"And what about the cost?"

"Luckily, these rooms cost 60,000 euros to rent during the festival, but our staff also live there, and they include room and board, so the overall cost is not high. ”

"Can you tell me the amount?"

“... It's hard to disclose, after all, it's a trade secret..."

Ju Wenpei whispered: "However, the producers of each film have announced that they have sold overseas copyrights at a high price, and many of them have been sold, all of which are trade secrets..."

Shen Mengxi coughed, and then said: ""Painted Skin 3" and "Little Fox and the Demon Hunter" sold the best, almost sold in more than 100 countries and regions around the world, and the two parts plus one piece were almost 60 million US dollars... The worst seller was "The Watchers", this movie was too Hollywood genre, but it also sold in 20 countries, after all, the play is still very good, and the transaction amount is about 3 million US dollars..."

“... That's a lot of good!"

"At present, we can only achieve the ratio of 1:0.2 to the overseas copyright of the mainland box office, which is not a high ratio, so we try to do co-production..."

"Fit?"

"Well, tomorrow, we will make some similar cooperation terms with Germany's Constantine Film and France's Gaumon Film Company!"

"Gaumont?"

Shen Mengxi nodded: "Yes!"

"Why not Europa?"

Europa Pictures, the most popular film company in Europe...

As the host of "World Cinema Journey", Ju Wenpei must have done his homework, and it is normal to have this question.

Shen Mengxi shrugged: "Because Luc Besson treats me as a Kaizi and only wants money..."
