By the way, generally speaking, there is etiquette for films shown at film festivals.

Applause is etiquette!

Of course, if the movie is too bad, they may not even care about etiquette and just scold: "The movie is too bad!"

For example, Abdai Kosihy, the director of "Adele's Life", came to Cannes again after four years with his new work "Fate, My Love", the first screening, the scene booed, and the post-screening press conference simply stiffened up with reporters on the spot, saying something "I think I break the boundaries of the film, take a step forward by myself, not everyone can understand, my actor is a genius, I am also a genius"...

The post-screening press conference of "Hunting" was completely friendly and exchanged.

The "sense of justice" driven by blinded eyes is blind, just like when I went to the United States for the first time, many people asked me why I didn't keep braids as a Chinese!"

"Who fired the last shot?"

"This unimportant, probably some passerby with a sense of justice, the last shot, Lucas standing by the stream in the gloomy valley, the shooter on the sunny hillside, he was on the high ground, he was in the sun... Rather than acknowledging and accepting the truth, they care more about self-esteem. This is the dark side of human nature, some of them not only do not have the greatest apologies, but on the contrary they prefer to run away from this truth, they hate this truth, and they would rather get rid of this truth forever!"

"Why kill him?"

"You can interpret it as accurate marksmanship or inaccurate marksmanship, it doesn't matter... Lucas will eventually be disgusted and hated by a group of moral giants who don't know the truth. ”

......

Shen Mengxi was quite happy - reporters were basically asking him.

What does this mean?

Represent that they were blown away by the story, not Leonardo's performance!

From the beginning, Shen Mengxi was worried that Leonardo's performance would steal the limelight from the movie.

The Cannes Film Festival is not an Oscar, it has an official rule for sharing the cake - if you win the Palme d'Or, you can't win awards such as Best Actor and Actress...

Unless the judges support it - on May 20, 1991, at the closing ceremony of the 44th Cannes Film Festival, the Coen brothers' "Barton Fink" won a big victory!

The following year, a new rule was introduced: the award for best director must not coincide with the Palme d'Or.

Of course, 2003's "Elephant" rewrote the rules: he won the Palme d'Or and the best director at the same time!

After that, there were no more films of this kind, including "The Life of Adele" - the Palme d'Or was awarded to the director of two actresses...

"The Hunt" is obviously not enough!

This year's Cannes will feature "The Tree of Life", "The Artist", "Bicycle Boy"...

These three movies are very weighty!

Shen Mengxi is indeed a little worried, but as long as Leonardo is not in the way, the probability of him winning the Palme d'Or is very high.

So, go back to the hotel and get ready to celebrate with Liu Yifei.

And then...

His wife was not there, so he helped to stand on the platform.

The young lady was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, and after Cannes officially kicked off, she had to run three or four events a day...

Shen Mengxi had no choice but to turn on the computer and prepare to see the situation in China - "Painted Skin 3" is still being released!

Then, Nancy and Zhao Jinsong came to find him.

Report on transactions.

......

After the establishment of Blenhouse Pictures, David deliberately expanded the distribution business - he really can't stand the commission of the big studios, 15% at every turn, who can stand it?

Overseas distribution can only choose to package - that is, sell it at a fixed price!

People have overseas distribution channels!

After the establishment of Blen House, it signed distribution contracts with several cinema chains - excluding AMC Cinemas, Sovereign Entertainment and Lucky Cinema Cinema...

These three are the most mainstream cinema chains in North America, and they can't look down on the strength of Bren House...

However, it is not excluded that the big-selling Ying Lotus Root film produced by Bren House is not excluded, otherwise "Latent 3", "No Return", and "Bridesmaids" would not be a box office hit!

In particular, "Bridesmaids", which was invested and distributed by Bren House, was only screened in 1,200 theaters in the first weekend, and after the first week, the number of theaters increased to 3,050!

At a cost of $32 million, it created a domestic box office of $150 million, and an overseas performance of more than $110 million...

It's bursting!

But the overseas distribution was handed over to Universal, as Bren House did not have an overseas office.

It was very aggrieved, and it was packaged and sold for $23 million - the six major ones lowered the price together, and only the global price was the highest.

Especially after knowing that Universal's overseas earnings in "Bridesmaids", they earned more than $18 million in TV rights alone!

Therefore, "Shark Beach", "Source Code", including "A Quiet Place 2", were all brought to Cannes and sold the overseas rights at one time.

"It's not bad, Cineworld signed a distribution contract with us, and we take a 10% cut, and Nordic Cinema Group, CGV, and Cinépolis all have a 12% cut. ”

These are the top 20 cinema brands in the world, Cineworl, British cinema brand, Nordic Cinema Group, Nordic Cinema Group, these two cinema chains plus Germany's Konstantin guarantee the distribution of the European side, Cinépolis, the largest cinema chain in South America, CGV, Korean cinema chain...

Basically, it can guarantee that several films will cover more than 80 countries and regions around the world!

Zhao Jinsong added: "Southeast Asian distribution, Emperor can handle it!"

Shen Mengxi nodded: "Hard work!"

By the way, he sighed: "If only we could control the global theater chain, not more, 15% is enough..."

Nancy ignored him - cinema investment belongs to the sunset industry in the world!

reported: ""Painted Skin 3" was released for 10 days, and North America won $4.2 million at the box office, and CMX Cinemas and Southern Theatrea Cinemas are interested in introducing it, and if it is introduced, the scale of screenings can reach 1,400!"

“... Good job, but how did I hear about the two theaters you mentioned?"

"Ranked ninth and fourteenth, they belong to small theaters. ”

Shen Mengxi nodded, then looked at Zhao Jinsong, who said, "I've been following Nancy for the past few days, and I haven't paid much attention to the trading market..."

"Then how much is the box office of "Painted Skin 3", you should always know, right?"

"Song Hang called me yesterday and said that it was already 550 million, but unfortunately "Thor" and "Fast and Furious 5" will be released immediately, and it is estimated that at least half of the box office will be shared!"

“... That's no way, we can't help but let people release it, we are not "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party". ”

Hollywood has always been the enemy...

"Alright, you two go back and rest!"

"..., let's postpone the copyright deal for "Hunting" first?"

"Hold it off, this movie from my bureau can win the award!"

Zhao Jinsong's eyes lit up: "Palme d'Or?"

Shen Mengxi crooked his mouth and smiled: "Who knows!"

......

Hemp eggs...

The next day, as soon as he flipped through the newspaper, Shen Mengxi only had swear words in his heart!

The movie reviews are all praising Xiao Lizi.

''The Hunt' is a very explosive film, seemingly innocent children's mouths of lies, but triggering a huge modern society "persecution" action, Leonardo's performance is convincing!' - "Daily Screen"

'The Hunt is a cold movie. The tepid narrative and calm and rational shots brew almost desperate depression, mania and coldness, and mercilessly draw a knife deep into human nature and social morality in the trembling. Leonardo once again showed the strength of the actor!' - "Variety"

I finally found a comment praising the movie itself in "Liberation Daily", and it was still about the awesome photography.

Am I so undeserving of a hand?
