In fact, domestic media are very interested in the "Incense" shortlisted for Cannes...

Especially when I learned that the starring actor was Chen Lin!

A movie starring an idol singer was shortlisted for the Cannes main competition unit?

Unfortunately, Zhao Shan and Shi Guang Film and Television have been silent all the time. After all, it is not easy to pass the review of this movie.

Don't tease this string anymore...

Then give up publicity?

I was thinking too much, and I was planning to make a big publicity after coming back from Cannes - this is the benefit of having a professional team. Whether it is good or bad, there will be professional public relations to help attract fans.

Living in the valley to act and relying on speaking with acting is the style of playing in the last century, and times have changed!

"Southern Entertainment Weekly" sent a professional team to follow up the report. Of course, they mainly reported on "2046" and "Ten Ambush" and "2046". Wang Jiawei had been struggling for three years. In addition, Liang Chaowei won the Cannes Best Actor with "In the Mood for Love"...

The two king combination, look forward to it infinitely!

"The Ambush on Ten" needs no more, "Hero" is a big hit all over the world, and Zhang Yi has created a new era of Chinese films...

"Incense" crew is here, of course you can't miss it...

By the way, their interview name is Yuan Lei, the chief entertainment reporter of Southern Entertainment, which is similar to the current Yi Lijing status...

The main interview with Chen Lin, after all, Chen Lin is more famous...

"I've known him for a long time. I've seen his graduation work "Thursday, Wednesday" and I met him on the crew of "Chinese Divorce"... He told me the story of "Incense". I liked it very much, so I took it."

"I took photos during the Spring Festival. I was in a small town below Huaiyuan, Shanxi. I took photos for half a month..."

"Money pay? This is what kind of pay for friends to help each other?"

"Prove that I can act? I am an actor, and there is nothing to prove. I know how much I have..."

"Cannes selected filmmakers to come to Beijing, we handed over the work to him, and then he recommended us to be shortlisted for the main competition unit..."

"It's like this in film festivals. Your movie quality must be passed and it will impress the film selectors, so they will work hard to recommend."

"…Get the award? What a joke? We spent half a month shooting a movie and then winning the award. What should you do if you let those big directors do?"

When he came to Ning Hao, he was quite casual and said, "This is my work, I took a DV and took a random shot." "I didn't want to express anything, it was just a practice work...", "Making movies is a career choice, just making a living, there is no need to be that noble! If I don't make movies, I will go to business...", "My main purpose is to make an interesting movie for everyone to entertain you.'

The attitudes of the two made Yuan Lei helpless...

After all, in this era, the two keywords of movies and directors represent art!

The attitudes of these two people are sincere, but... they do not conform to mainstream ideas!

Of course I need to report it!

...

"Incense" was arranged on No. 24, a relatively backward position...

Generally speaking, popular movies must be placed on the front date. Judging from the choice of this date, it means that the organizer is not particularly optimistic about "Incense"...

Chen Lin doesn't care. In addition to promoting movies, he is more about making a name for himself.

In the past ten days in Cannes, many press releases have appeared in China, such as "Chen Lin's trip to Cannes", "The "incense" burned into Cannes, and Chen Lin's first starring movie was shortlisted", "Chen Lin's thoughts: Nothing special" and so on.

There are also some press releases by Ning Hao, the capital "Incense" director Ning Hao: Making a movie is like making a living, and there is no need to be that noble"

Of course, the directors in the system do not agree with this argument, but many people on the Internet agree with it...

It's rare to meet a director who is not pretending to behave.

According to later generations, this interview helped Ning Hao gain countless fans!

Back in Cannes, Chen Lin and his group finished watching "2046", and then returned to the hotel in a daze...

Didn't understand...

Finally, Chen Lin concluded: "Lao Wang's movies are like that. If it sounds nice, it is called a strong artistic nature. If it is not good, it is called a loss of meaning!"

When he returned to the hotel, Chen Lin took out a bank card and handed it to Xing Aina: "Give it, there is 3 million here. After returning to China, you can go to the crew of "The Legend of Sword" with me!"

"…You really made money? How did you make it?"

"Then don't worry!"

How else can you make money? Of course, it is won by regular channels!

This topic is not easy to continue, so Dalinzi quickly changed: "Tomorrow's premiere of "Incense", should we invite Zhang Yi?"

"Is he available?"

Ahem, the crew of "The Ambush on Ten" is also here in Cannes.

"I'll invite you. It's his business whether he comes or not. It's our business whether to invite him or not. When you are away, you must have etiquette!"

“It’s OK…”

...

The movie "Incense" is very simple, it is the story of a monk building a temple.

Judging from the story material, it looks very similar to "Xiao Wu", and the camera effect is very similar to Hou Xiaoxian, and there are many empty shots!

The root of the story of "Incense" is the period of rapid development of the national economy, and people's lives have undergone tremendous changes.

A process of the collapse of monk's faith...

The themes of this period are a very good source of creation for Chinese directors. A Mou has "Qiu Ju Fights", Jia Zhangke... Lao Jia's works have always been about this...

So, many people say that what foreigners realize through these excellent videos is that China is still a backward rural country!

Very true, the promotion and communication power of movies are very strong!

This type of video does not contribute much to our international image...

There is no way. According to the evaluation standards of Western film festivals, selling miserables is the common attribute of award-winning movies, and they have another common attribute that is profound.

In a sense, it is also a form of expression of ideology...

The film was over and many people stood up and applauded.

According to Feng Xiaogang, this is the etiquette of the People's Film Festival!

Ning Hao and Chen Lin came to the stage under the guidance of the staff...

I was clumsy in accepting the audience's applause...

...

Amou deliberately stayed to communicate with his younger generations, but of course he only had a few words. After all, he was very busy. He came to Cannes to sell "The Ambush"...

"The movie is good, why not shoot it on film?"

"I don't have money, so we are the main creators of this movie. I am the director and screenwriter. He is the starring actor. The rest are all extras."

"Why don't you invest?"

"I just graduated from college at that time and didn't have much qualifications. I think it would be good to be able to shoot it, and I didn't think so much about it..."

How easy is it to attract investment?

According to the traditional practices of domestic studios, we will queue up step by step to upgrade, first record the scene, then assistant director, and then executive director. If you want to make a movie independently, you have to wait at least ten years.

Ning Hao is just a newcomer, and only a fool will give you money to make movies!

"Continue to come on!"

After encouraging Ning Hao, Amou nodded at Chen Lin and followed Zhang Weiping to leave...

"Amou is a good person!"

Ning Hao was stunned for a moment: "...what are you calling him?"

"Director Yi...the title is just a title, it does not mean anything..."

"Lin Zi..." Zhao Shan trotted over with a happy face: "I just talked to the vice president of France MK2 about the copyright of "Incense". Do you guess how much does he offer?"

"How many?"

"500,000 euros!"

When Ning Hao heard the price, his eyes were straightened...

Chen Lin didn't care: "…My mother sold $3.3 million in "Blind Well"!"

Zhao Shan glared at him: "Then "Ten Faces" bought $20 million in North American copyright, why don't you say it?"

Chen Lin quickly explained: "I mean, I should be able to increase the price, maybe someone else will pay a higher price..."
Chapter completed!
