If there are any movie awards that can be compared with Ou Video, then it can only be the Cannes Film Festival.

The rest are a little worse, whether it is the Venice Film Festival or the Berlin Film Festival.

Although after 2000, the Cannes Film Festival has begun to rise to itself and move closer to business, becoming the world's largest film buying and selling trading conference, and there are also the strange things like the King of Sunglasses who gave several actors, actresses, and Palme d'Or in one go, but before that, the Cannes Film Festival was still very public and very artistic.

The authority of the Cannes Film Festival is particularly recognized in China. Perhaps there is another reason for this, that is, Chinese filmmakers have never been recognized by Hollywood Oscars.

You don’t take me to play anymore, why should I keep sticking to your cold ass with a hot face?

This has been even more true since the Chinese film market developed.

Anyway, it is enough to have a domestic market. As for Hollywood or something, it is boring to covet such things and it is easy to lose your old camp.

This idea became even more popular after "Wolf Warrior 2" won more than 5 billion box office.

However, there are many Chinese filmmakers participating in the three major European festivals, including the Cannes Film Festival, every year, and this is true from beginning to end.

no way.

Who told us that major film festivals, including TV festivals in our country, are terrible?

Yin Jun has never been to France in his past and present lives. After all, it is quite difficult to come with such a high-end place with Yin Jun’s salary of several thousand yuan a month.

Before Yin Jun traveled through time, he visited a lot of domestic travel, and also visited Aomen, which are also places where money is spent.

Now back to 42 years ago, after several years of hard work, Yin Jun is of course not short of money, but he has been busy and has never traveled anywhere.

However, my women often go out for travel. Even the girl Wen Bixia took her mother to Huajing last year, and did she let Aunt Zhang play for several months?

Of course, Yin Jun didn't come out to play this time, although he held a little girl in one hand as soon as he got off the plane.

One is Li Zhi, and the other person who unexpectedly appears is Qiu Doudou.

Originally, Yin Jun didn't expect that Qiu Shuzhen was coming, but who knew that the two little girls knew each other on the set. When Li Zhi was excitedly preparing for her trip to Cannes, Qiu Doudou saw her. After curiously asking about the reason, she immediately called Yin Jun and ran across the country.

Under the cry of the little ancestor, Yin Jun had no choice. Anyway, one child was brought with him, and the two were the same, so they could have a companionship with each other, so Yin Jun asked Shi Shaoming and Zhou Runfa to take them to fly over first.

Yin Jun himself and the crew of "The Shawshank Redemption" also arrived in Cannes in advance in the first two days of the opening ceremony.

The reason why I was so anxious is that "Shawshank Redemption" has been designated as the opening movie of the main competition unit.

This is a very great honor, at least it proves that the judges of the Cannes Film Festival like this movie very much, and it is ahead of others in the award-winning sequence.

Yin Jun and others have just arrived now, but the public relations team of Lianyi Film Company came to Cannes as early as the end of April. Jason Tanya, general manager of Lianyi Film Company's distribution department, personally led the team to conduct various public relations.

Although Hollywood has the biggest award that filmmakers around the world dream of, it does not mean that they do not value European film awards.

From an artistic perspective, Americans and Europeans can't compare.

Many of their pursuing actors, in addition to Oscars, also like to be recognized by the three major European film festivals.

As for a film company, if you want to sell your movies to Europe, you must also gain fame in Europe.

How to make a name for yourself?

Isn’t it just that you can win awards at major film festivals and then you can sell movies at a high price?

The reason why the three major European film festivals are becoming more and more popular in the future is that half of the three major camps in Asia, China, Japan and South Korea are attacking, while the other half is all from American movies.

But for such a job, it is actually just a matter of sending a manager-level person to be responsible for one or two or two movies.

Senior executives like Jason Tanya don’t actually have to come here in person.

But who is the director of "The Shawshank Redemption" is Yin Jun, who is the boss of Lianyi Film Company? Or is it the one who is wholly-owned!

So Jason Tanya started to do all kinds of public relations very actively, and the cocktail party was never stopped all day long.

There are public relations in Hollywood, and there are also three major film festivals.

Without these things, what do you think the judges eat? Will the film festival be that popular?

Various transactions actually exist.

However, the basic bottom line of the Cannes Film Festival, Venice Film Festival and Berlin Film Festival is still there. It is impossible for a situation where both the strange movies and actors can win awards as many as the Chinese film festivals.

In fact, if "The Shawshank Redemption" is not good enough, no matter how much public relations fees are given or how many relationships are found, it will be a "jury award". Maybe it's a little bit short of it. It would be a laughable thing to get a Youth Film Award.

The fact now is that "Shawshank Redemption" won the likes of all the judges as soon as it appeared.

Including the chairman of the jury, Giorgio Strele, a super big boss in the Italian drama industry and a top European figure.

It also includes the judges. Jean-Jacques Arnold, who just won the 7th French Film Caesar Award for Best Director last year for "Fight of Fire".

This man who made Jacques Arnold very fond of China, and Liang Jiahui became famous in Europe was directed and filmed by him.

In the 22 years after "Lovers", he came to China to shoot a very beautiful and primitive movie "Wolf Totem".

After watching the movie, you will know that this old man has a deep understanding of Chinese culture and grassland culture. If you don’t like it, why should a Frenchman understand your Chinese culture?

In essence, the "Shawshank Redemption" filmed by Yin Jun has no restrictions on race or state at all.

It can happen in the United States, in China, and in the United States.

This is a story about freedom and self-salvation, and it is also a story that happens around you and me.

The various flavors of life in prison can be expanded to the entire society.

Europeans like this kind of story, such a realistic and exploratory story.

That's why they made "Shawshank Redemption" the opening movie of the main competition unit.

During the two days since I came to Cannes, Yin Jun visited several big shots and talked about art movies with them. He used his future theories and opinions to talk to them. However, Strale and Jacques were very interested and felt that this young man would definitely have a bright future in developing art movies.

In addition to work, the boy also took two girls to stroll around the streets and alleys of Cannes, invited them to eat a lot of delicious food, took a lot of photos, and bought a lot of good things, which made the two girls who had never been to such a far away feel extremely happy and satisfied.

Compared to those who became famous later, Qiu Shuzhen and Li Zhi are still very simple and innocent now.

They don’t care about luxury enjoyment and shopping. As long as they can be with Yin Jun and play around well, it will be a great happiness for them.

Speaking of which, no matter how inflated the Chinese stars are, they are still much more conservative than the exaggerated and luxuriousness of European and American stars.

At least they cannot perform abroad, so they have to sign hundreds of pages of contract details with the performer, including time, car use, meals, utensils, treatment of nanny assistants, etc., all of which must be clearly clear. It is obvious that it can scare people.

Most of the celebrities in Xiangjiang are from ordinary families, and at most they only have a few assistants and bodyguards, and they are not so pretentious at all.

What's more, Li Zhi and Qiu Shuzhen have never played big names. In essence, they are both good girls.

So Yin Juncai likes them so much.

In such a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, "Shawshank Redemption" began its first day of preview journey.

Because of Yin Jun's reputation, the first preview was full of nonsense. Jason took out Yin Jun's resume. With those comics, books, screenwriters and directors of several classic movies, Europeans, South Americans, Japanese and Koreans, all rushed over to see what literary and artistic movies this talented man made.

Yin Jun also took the crew and sat inside and watched.

Although Yin Jun has seen these versions of the first and final edits, and he participated in the editing himself, the feeling of watching the editing in a small room and watching a few people in the screening hall is completely different from the feeling of watching hundreds of people in the cinema now.

Hearing the audience sighs, exclaims, regrets from time to time... and when Andy and Reed hugged each other in the end, the cheers in the venue were like winning a battle, and at the end of the movie, the three-minute standing ovation was not only the main creator, but also Yin Jun himself, but also felt a little relieved and satisfied.

"The Shawshank Redemption" is not sure whether it is the best movie that Yin Jun made, but it is a movie that Yin Jun made very careful and had many insights.

After filming "The Shawshank Redemption", he understood why Hollywood movies could dominate the world, while Hong Kong movies could only leave in the end.

It is precisely because Hollywood not only has commercial blockbusters, but also these literary and artistic films full of human care and various beautiful qualities. The overall image of Hollywood is so abundant and so three-dimensional.

What does Xiangjiang movie mean when people mention it?

Isn’t it just a movie that is shitty, peeing, and a lot of movies of the same type?

Excellent directors such as Xu Anhua and Zhang Wanting, although they also have the ability to make good movies, are limited by the overall market and other reasons. Finally, they did not support another sky of Xiangjiang movies, and could only become the small waves in the sea that became instantly submerged.

Films in mainland China actually have such hidden worries.

But mainland Chinese movies have a good life. They caught up with a large market with a population of 1.5 billion and have a rising enthusiasm for watching genuine movies. So it is a bit incredible that those rough movies can survive in the end.

However, in such chaos and impetuousness, good art movies are emerging.

For example, Xiaogang Cannon made several good movies, and "Youth" is a typical example.

There are also the national teacher's "Love of Hawthorn Tree", "Return", etc.

I believe that in the future, there will definitely be more good movies in China that take into account both box office, connotation and reputation.

Only in this way can Chinese movies not be lame, truly expand outward, export their culture and values, and one day compete with Hollywood!!
