Chapter 391 Honor Plus 2/2

Of course it is impossible for him to say such things!

If you say this, you will definitely be called a fool. In the world, commercial movies are the mainstream. To be more precise, Hollywood movies are the mainstream. The two Truck Driver movies ranked first and second in the global movie rankings. Of course, I have confidence.

Say this.

Zhao Hong is still far, far away from his height. But he believes that his achievements in the future will not be low. After all, he is not fighting alone, he has a system!

Sidney Pollack happily handed Zhao Hong the microphone after seeing him. Sidney Pollack was very satisfied with this film festival. Although there were some minor flaws, he felt that he had done a good job.

It's relatively fair.

You must know that even within the jury, there is no harmony. Take Zhao Hong's films as an example. There are one or two people who always criticize and think that they should not be awarded the Palme d'Or.

In fact, it's not that they can't see that this is a century-old classic, but that they all hold deep-rooted prejudices from the East and the West. Fortunately, these are not mainstream, and there are still many people who love movies.

"Thank you!" Zhao Hong said as she took the phone.

With a smile in his eyes, Zhao Hong said to the filmmakers in the audience: "Thank you to the jury for giving this honor to our film. This is the greatest reward for our seriousness in making films. I have been in the industry for almost five years.

I have learned and gained a lot in these few years.”

"In school, the teachers repeatedly warned us that we must be passionate about movies. Over the past few years, I have kept these words in my heart and never forget them!"

"I am very happy to receive this award among the best filmmakers in the world today. When I came to Cannes to communicate with you, I realized that I still have many shortcomings. I am honored to receive this award. I am very grateful to the film festival.

,...,I ​​have always been proud of myself as a filmmaker, and I would like to thank you all again!".

Zhao Hong's speech was quite satisfactory, without any shocking words. As for saying that the nation is the world, it felt a bit pretentious.

After saying it, it feels a bit superficial. We Chinese people still like to practice it with practical actions.

Not long after Zhao Hong stepped down, the Cannes Film Festival came to an end.

There are no studios buying Zhao Hong's movies because everyone knows the situation at DreamWorks.

It is said that when "Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or, the whole crew cheered with joy, and their faces were filled with a strong sense of pride. Even Mei Gu and Lao Zhang were very happy.

The Palme d'Or award belongs to all of them. Zhao Hong gave the trophy to them to play with. He felt much more relaxed since he got off the stage.

After the Cannes Film Festival, Zhao Hong was invited by Jacobs. The main purpose was for him to be Cannes' film selection representative in Hong Kong.

Zhao Hong readily accepted this, which was very beneficial to increasing his influence in Xiangjiang.

Besides, Zhao Hong also hopes that Xiangjiang's movies can go out more. Now Xiangjiang's movies have entered a golden age and have become even more brilliant under his interference.

But it is mainly about commercial achievements, and there is nothing outstanding in artistic films. To be honest, the art films in Xiangjiang still have a long way to go compared to the art films he watched in Cannes!

After the film festival, Zhao Hong stayed in Cannes for another two days. This was mainly because she couldn't bear to leave Sophie as a fairy, and also because she was not very proficient in boxing, so she stayed for two more days.

The main purpose of Zhao Hong's trip was to accompany Qiqi, so he had no plans to return to Xiangjiang. As for Lao Zhang and the others, they took a flight back to Xiangjiang the day after the film festival ended.

Lao Zhang and Gu Laosan are going back to the mainland after a day's stay in Xiangjiang. They have gained a lot this time. Although they did not win any awards personally, participating in such a film will be very beneficial to their future development.

There is another reason why Zhao Hong does not return to Xiangjiang, that is, his popularity in Xiangjiang is very strong now. He heard on the phone that many movie fans came to pick him up at the airport.

There are thousands of people!

He is the most afraid of this situation!

Zhao Hong and Qiqi discussed it and went to London as their next stop. When Qiqi was in the mainland, she often heard people say how good London was, so she also wanted to find out.

"Hong, if you don't leave for a few days, I won't be able to let you go!" This was the last night in Cannes. Zhao Hong would take a flight to London tomorrow, so he came to Sophie's place as usual.

The two of them had been exercising a lot just now. Sophie rested her head on Zhao Hong's chest and said she was reluctant to leave Zhao Hong. She felt that these few days were the happiest days in her life.

When she was a child, her family was very poor, so she received little care from her family. In these days, she got many things she dreamed of.

Love, money, and career are all at her fingertips, which makes her become sentimental, especially when Zhao Hong and she are passionately in love, she is even more reluctant to let go.

"Fei, I can't bear to leave you! But it can't always be like this. You will be filming a movie in a few days! Besides, Qiqi knows how dangerous our affairs are! I will come to visit you when I have time.", Zhao Hongqin

She touched her cheek and said.

"If I don't want to, I won't be filming. I'll go to Xiangjiang to find you after I deal with the matter, okay?" Sophie said coquettishly.

She felt like she was being poisoned and didn't want Zhao Hong to leave her at all.

Zhao Hong was speechless when he saw the expectant look in her eyes. Is the young lady's emotion so strong?

Is it possible that French Guliang is so passionate? His little thought of finding a few more was instantly wiped out. If he has too much luck, he will be in trouble!

In the end, it was Zhao Hong who tried her best to convince her that she should focus on her career and become an international star. This is what she should strive for.

If the love lasts for a long time, it will last day and night!

When Zhao Hong returned to his room, he unconsciously rubbed his waist, feeling quite unmotivated. He didn't know whether he had made a profit or a loss.

The next day, Zhao Hong and Qiqi got on the plane and headed for London.

While Zhao Hong was having fun outside, all the major media in Hong Kong knew that Zhao Hong's movie had won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, so they had an instant climax.

This is the first of its kind, and it is unprecedented news!

"The pride of Hong Kong people - Zhao Hong, he has accomplished something that others cannot accomplish in his lifetime in just five years of filmmaking. The Golden Palm is the goal that Hong Kong filmmakers strive for. As a filmmaker, he succeeded..." - Ming Pao

"Hong Kong movies have taken an important step in the world. When talking about Hong Kong movies, I always thought of martial arts movies, kung fu movies, and comedies. Now I want to say that literary and artistic movies are not inferior to others..."——Film Fortnightly

"The Best Actor in a Century - Leslie Cheung, with his exquisite facial features, he achieved an impossible feat. In the past, if you wanted to win an award, you had to act ugly. His superb acting skills tell us that actually you don't have to act ugly to win an award.

After ten years of hard work, he finally got the honor he deserved. This is the greatest encouragement to those who are serious about acting in movies..."——Oriental Daily



Newspapers in Xiangjiang are all reporting on this matter. Even though Lao Zhang and Gu Laosan have received a lot of attention, Mr. Rong and the others have been very busy these days.

The interviews came one after another, and even though they only answered a few questions each time, the host who asked the questions was always happy to do so!

At this time, "Farewell My Concubine" was also released all over the world. The premiere was not even held, mainly because the publicity was enough.

By the way, movie fans have been looking forward to it for a long time. It has been almost two years since Zhao Hong's movie was released. They have been waiting so hard!

When they learned that the film won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, they wanted to see it.

Therefore, the movie was extremely popular as soon as it was released. In just one week, it had a good score of 14 million Hong Kong dollars. Film critics also praised it after seeing it.

Good movies have no borders, just like "Farewell My Concubine" was well received in Cannes.

It was also favored by film critics in Xiangjiang. They watched it repeatedly and gave various interpretations. If Zhao Hong read their interpretations, he would probably have to consider whether they were praising his own film.

Rong Shao and Mei Gu benefited the most from this storm. They were actors in Xiangjiang and they were in Xiangjiang during this period. As for Lao Zhang and Gu Laosan, they had already returned to the mainland.

You must know that they have their own filming tasks. It is Zhao Hong who applied for their leadership to go to Cannes. It is impossible to promote the movie in Hong Kong.

With this movie, Mei Gu officially entered the film industry, and she is directly a first-line female movie star in Hong Kong, which makes many actresses envious and jealous!

They also really wanted to have such an opportunity. At this time, Zhao Hong was the hot potato, but there was no way to get close, which made them very disappointed!

Zhao Hong's whereabouts in Xiangjiang are very strange, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to know where he is.

Rong Shao is now regarded as an actor. Many of the movies he acted in before did not win any awards. Every time he went to the award ceremony, he accompanied him. This situation can be said to be gone forever.

For "Farewell My Concubine" alone, he may win the Best Actor at the Academy Awards next year and the Best Actor at the Bay Area Golden Horse Awards this year. He is now complaining that Zhao Hong is passing the blame on him, and at the same time he is happily accepting it.

The interviews with media from all over the world were both painful and joyful!

It is said that this movie was originally not intended to be introduced to the mainland for screening, but after the movie became a star in Cannes, considering many factors and the fact that this movie has brought great honor to Chinese-language films, it was introduced with a wave of the leader's hand.

.

In other words, it was introduced in the form of batch films, and DreamWorks just sold them to China Film at a very low price. This can be regarded as following Zhao Hong's policy.

Let’s cultivate the market first. Now the box office in the Mainland is very complicated and it is very difficult to make money from it. It can be said that 90% of the movie studios in the Mainland are losing money now. They do not share the box office but sell copies.
