Chapter 380 Really Play 3/3
Now he begins to miss the days when he was focused on nothing but working hard for his career in Xiangjiang!
After dinner, Jiang Zhiqiang told Zhao Hong about his visit to Cannes. During this period, he mainly dealt with the media. The main thing was to build a good relationship and let them tilt appropriately when reporting.
In addition, he contacted many film directors here, mainly because many directors wanted to invest. In the process, it was not without reason that many film actresses came knocking on the door.
Although he is a bit of a scumbag, he is definitely the kind of two-skinned person who eats sugar-coated things and beats them back with cannonballs. It is impossible to wear pajamas, but he can still distinguish between private matters and official matters!
Zhao Hong's film is the opening film at Cannes this time, so it will be screened the day after tomorrow, which is May 15th.
The chairman of the Sidney Pollack Film Festival strongly recommended that "Farewell My Concubine" be the opening film. His main purpose this time was to spread the Cannes Film Festival wider in Asia.
After Zhao Hong and Qiqi arrived in Cannes, they did not give up their interest in playing. After taking a break for the day, they continued to walk around the entire Cannes area the next day. As for the movie, they continued to leave it to Jiang Zhiqiang. He is familiar with it!
Zhao Hong only said: "I'm optimistic!" After that, Qiqi and she went to enjoy the scenery here. There were palm trees everywhere with small yellow flowers blooming on the trees. It felt like the whole city had become colorful.
The trunk of the palm is cylindrical, with old petioles and lower leaf stems often remaining. It is native to China and is distributed in areas south of the Qinling Mountains in China except Tibet.
Zhao Hong didn’t even know why there were palm trees in Cannes. Maybe some overseas Chinese took the seeds with them when they left their hometown!
The trophies at the Cannes Film Festival are designed in the shape of palm leaves. Seeing these palm trees here gives some special meaning to the filmmakers who come here.
Qiqi was very happy to see so many palm trees. They drove around the city. This was just a small city. If there wasn't a film festival, very few people would know about it.
Once the tour was over, it felt like it was not interesting. After lunch, Qiqi rested in the hotel, while Zhao Hong met some filmmakers under the leadership of Jiang Xiqiang.
After all, I am the director of the movie, so it would be unreasonable to leave everything to Jiang Zhiqiang. Besides, as a filmmaker, I still want to meet filmmakers from other places.
This can be considered as a way to communicate with each other!
After all, there are not many communication platforms like the Cannes Film Festival. Zhao Hong saw many famous directors here, and there were many directors and actors from the United States.
He found that there are many people who are serious about making movies, and there is also a group of movie fans here who started coming here a few days ago.
They watched many movies that ordinary people found boring, but they watched them with gusto, which made Zhao Hong sigh that their level of appreciation was really high.
He himself also likes to watch things that make people laugh. When he was filming the movie "Farewell My Concubine", it can be said that he was always thinking about how to shoot and how to make the movie more meaningful when presented to the audience.
In this situation, I don’t know how many brain cells he made himself die. It was only because of his strong memory, perfect script, and the passionate performances of a bunch of good actors that the current movie was possible.
Furthermore, during the post-production process, the film was also moving towards refinement. Every frame had to be thought over and over again, and the texture of the picture, color, light, etc. were all very particular.
Zhao Hong did not meet with the Cannes Film Festival selection chairman, mainly because she wanted to avoid suspicion.
In the afternoon, I attended some gatherings with Jiang Zhiqiang. There were many gatherings here, most of which were held by Waiguoren. It would have been very different after the 1990s.
By then, the Chinese will be getting richer and richer, and when they come to Cannes, they will have a great time.
Zhao Hong has no problem communicating with most people. He knows several languages, and before he knows it, he can speak most of the languages in the world.
He has no problem at all chatting with fellow ghosts. The first sentence is still in French and the next sentence is in Arabic. It is really not difficult. This is why many filmmakers like to communicate with him.
Because it feels so good to communicate with him, many filmmakers from third world countries came here for the first time. They were surprised to see a Chinese person speaking their own language.
When Jiang Zhiqiang saw a large group of people surrounding his boss, he felt mixed emotions in his heart. His boss was so dazzling. He thought about how difficult it was for him to communicate with people when he came to Cannes!
Only when the US dollars are available can we hire a translator. When I see my boss talking eloquently, I know that the translation I prepared for him was in vain.
He really couldn't figure out when his boss had learned so many languages. Just learning English made him feel ecstatic and miserable.
Now I shudder when I think of memorizing words. I feel that I never have the courage to learn other languages. I heard that my boss is multilingual and can still communicate.
He didn't believe it before, but now he feels that it is underreported. Now he hears his boss speaking no less than ten languages, and now he feels that his IQ is a little anxious!
Zhao Hong didn't know Jiang Zhiqiang's mentality. He could learn so many languages by himself. He had language learning courses every night when he went to bed. Over time, he could master it without even realizing it.
As for teaching it to others, there is only one trick, which is to sleep more and they will get it.
It's so powerful!
This is not pretense, it is true!
When communicating with these filmmakers from all over the world, I feel that I have learned a lot from them. They all have their own unique shooting styles.
Many filmmakers here have very avant-garde ideas. Zhao Hong found that many of their ideas would still be outdated even in the new millennium, but they are just a bit hard to accept compared to now.
But Zhao Hong can understand, but if he doesn't do this, it is better to follow the pace of the times. If he is too ahead of his time, he will be crazy!
At the banquet, Zhao Hong saw someone he was familiar with in the original time and space. She was Sophie Marceau, the Flower of France. She was only 21 years old and felt very beautiful, but now she was with the old man Andre Zulawski.
After getting married, she appeared naked in the movie "Wild Love", which really made many French men heartbroken.
Last year, Sophie Marceau partnered with Claude Blessed and starred in the suspense film "Into Hell" directed by Francis Girod. In the film, she played the role of the beautiful and extraordinary young wife of the middle-aged writer Alang.
"Lola".
They were here to sell the film at the Cannes Film Festival this time, and the film was also entered into the spotlight section. When Zhao Hong saw her who was very young, she felt that it was truly a masterpiece of God.
Her image is a noble beauty, with a temperament that combines the romance of the French, the sensuality of the West, and the mystery of the East.
This has led to many of her loyal fans in China, who are obsessed with her. Even after the millennium, she is still as charming as ever, especially her way of taking off clothes when walking on the red carpet, which has taught mainland actresses a lesson.
.
It turns out that you can still play like this, which is really exciting.
Zhao Hong also admires her, but that's all.
They said a few words to each other and then stopped communicating. The main reason was that her husband guarded against other people like thieves. Zhao Hong secretly gave him a curse that turned his head into a green prairie.
To be honest, Zhao Hong really couldn't understand that 19-year-old Sophie Marceau would fall in love with a director who could be his father, Andre Zulawski. Could this be true love?
