Chapter 16 No Feelings
"If you really take the Palme d'Or, do you think your life will change?"
Chen Lin smiled and asked back: "What do you think?"
"I think there should be some changes, and the focus of the work is on the director's side and so on..."
"You're thinking too much..."
Chen Lin explained: "I do have the idea of reducing production. I have been full for several consecutive years and have no rest time. Starting next year, I will be planning to reduce production slowly...more time is spent on company management and investment operations!"
"This Palme d'Or is not within the plan. If I take it, I will not become a master. If I don't get it, it will not affect my plan!"
"So, can you be so calm?"
"It's not a question...but I do know that even if I take the Palme d'Or, my life will not change anything!"
"Then what do you think the meaning of Cannes to Chinese films?"
"Well, let me tell you, there are 15 A-class film festivals in the world, and some of them specialize in low-cost independent films, such as the Sundance International Film Festival in the United States and the Rotterdam International Film Festival in the Netherlands. The most important part of these film festivals is not the screening, but the distribution and transaction.
The scale of the film festival and the influence of the awards are fundamentally determined by the film distribution capabilities supported by a sound market trading mechanism.
As the world's largest film trading market, Cannes is an important weather vane for the global film market.
Except for the six major Hollywood film studios that have global output capabilities, most film companies do not have the ability to distribute globally. The market of most film festivals is difficult to reach the scale of the Cannes Film Festival. The films of these companies can only be traded through the Cannes platform.
Because of their unpopular themes, small-cost movies must rely on copyright sales to generate revenue. Large-cost movies cannot be sustained by the market of one country and must recover their costs through international copyright sales.
In addition, the producer workshop in Cannes is also the largest producer workshop in the world. The best film producers from all over the world gather here to introduce and display projects to investors... Chinese films need to go to the world through Cannes, and Time Media can only be distributed throughout Asia, Europe, South America and North America markets need to expand through Cannes!”
"China also has Shanghai Film Festivals and Beijing Film Festivals..."
"I know, but the international attention is not high."
"Why?"
“…Where did I know?”
Seeing that Chen Lin was reluctant to answer this question, the reporter asked a few more questions, and the standards were well grasped, and Chen Lin rarely talked about the truth.
"The domestic box office of "Burning" is unlikely to be particularly good. After all, the narrative of this movie is a bit confusing, and the audience usually doesn't like this kind of movie!"
"It's really ready to hit the Oscar..."
"That's too far. Cannes didn't even present the awards. Now I'm going to predict it!"
...
The interview manuscript was briefly revised and sent to China, before the awards were presented...
Recently, the domestic film market is "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", "Fast and Furious 5", and "Kung Fu Panda 2" has also been released on the 28th...
Completely occupied by Hollywood!
"The Tuner" has a very good reputation, and the final box office was only 280 million...
There is no way, watching blockbusters is the mainstream choice.
Once Hollywood movies are released, theaters will directly cut off the number of domestic films being released and keep the screening hall in Hollywood blockbusters!
This phenomenon was not until the General Administration issued relevant policies to encourage domestic film screenings to ease the box office revenue of domestic films accounted for two-thirds of the total annual box office revenue. As long as the theaters do not steal, miss or conceal the box office of films, the box office revenue of domestic films will be transferred to 50% of the central film special funds.
The special funds are 5% of the box office!
In a word, Gangzi once questioned the purpose of 5% of the special funds, and was criticized, saying, "Special Movie Funding is a common practice in many countries in the world to protect national films, such as France, South Korea, etc., and some countries have exceeded 5%.'
Yes, but they are targeting Hollywood movies!
5% is not a small number. Generally speaking, if a theater with better operation, the total box office revenue of more than 10 million in a year can be more than 500,000!
Many theaters may not have a net profit of 500,000 in a year!
This policy has changed a lot...
Let’s talk about it, many people pay attention to Chen Lin and “Burning”…
As expected, "Burning" should be released in mainland China on May 30, just when he returned with reputation in Cannes.
Time Media took the initiative to suppress the popularity at the beginning to avoid overturning. Now, when he learned that Chen Lin had obtained the ticket to the closing ceremony, he was just a big deal, so he almost shouted with a loudspeaker!
On Weibo, Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Liu Qianqian, Tangtang, and Yang Xiaomi all transferred the news that "Burning" attended the Cannes closing ceremony"...
By the way, Gulina also reposted it. Her Weibo certification is a Time Media actor, and her representative works include "The Hunger Games" and "My Girls' Generation"...
Unfortunately, neither of the works have been released.
But no matter how famous she is in her small circle, she is quite famous for being the school beauty of Beijing Film Academy.
Chen Lin posted a Weibo post: "I've been attending Cannes for the fourth time, I hope '4' is my lucky number!"
...
To be honest, I don't feel anything.
It is not the calmness of being sure to win, nor is it the disheartened and passive acceptance after knowing that it cannot win the grand prize;
It just doesn't matter!
Yesterday was full of energy and was bound to win, but today I felt it didn't matter...
He himself is quite strange...
Maybe this is a man!
Eels are natural.
Of course, it is also possible that Rachel Brosnahan's combat effectiveness is too strong, which directly makes Dalinzi lose his ideas!
Well, the heroine of "Burning" last night reversed the director...
Like a female fairy, she was thinking of squeezing her energy, which made Chen Lin a little scared...
Literally scared, how to say it, my waist has already said it is OK, it is OK...
The key is that the little brother is dissatisfied and becomes braver the more he fights. Every time he provokes, he immediately becomes full of fighting spirit. He may feel that he wants to win glory for his country and cannot lose to American girls...
Then, there was no stopping all night...
So much so energy is not enough.
Therefore, boys must protect themselves outside!
Next time he encounters this situation, he will definitely choose to refuse...
Rachel Brosnahan really doesn't fit his aesthetic, except for his big breasts...
While thinking, the jury finally arrived and the award ceremony officially began.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we finally have this wonderful night. I believe you are in the same mood as me, so expectant, because we can have a good sleep tomorrow... We are tired of the movie, and we are happy for the movie!"
The host Balabara talked about it, and then a French local star came on stage and presented the first award: the Golden Camera Award.
The winner was Argentine director Pablo Georgeli's "Acacia Tree".
After posting the award speech, I didn't pause and directly opened the second best script award...
As a film event that has attracted worldwide attention, the Oscars are often held for several hours. Every year, they will hold many small programs to showcase their country's excellent culture. However, in this regard, the three major film festivals in Europe are shabby than the other, but the advantage is that they have fewer flowers and their awards are very clean and neat.
Basically, the battle ends in half an hour to one hour!
The third one is the jury award, which is equivalent to the Excellent Film Award, which belongs to the extraordinary category. It is different from the jury award. The former is because a judge has a very favorable impression of the film and thus won the special commendation. The latter is equivalent to the "second place", and the honor must be one level higher.
Chen Lin was a little nervous...
If "Burning" gives a jury award, it would be embarrassing!
Well, from judge Olivier Assayas, "McVin Le Besco"
At this point, the ceremony has been completed halfway, and the rest is all the highlights.
Best Actress!
Surprisingly, it was awarded to Christine Dunster's "Depression"...
Because the director of this drama, Lars von Tyre, has been expelled from Cannes!
But Christine Dunst is a Hollywood actress and is famous for collaborating with Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise. She is Mary Jane in "Spider-Man"...
Among the nine judges of this year, in addition to the chairman of the jury, three of them are living in Hollywood...
The Best Actor Later was awarded to Jean Dujardan "Artist" and "Artist", which was the work that won five Oscars...
Then there are the jury awards, double yolk eggs, the Danes brothers "Bird Bicycle" and Nuri Big Ceylon "The Past of Anatolia";
The best director was presented to Terrence Malick "The Tree of Life"!
At this point, it's stable!
Because there are only Shen Lin and "Burning" in the entire venue.
Chapter completed!
