Bai Qiquan was a little distracted during the video call with his girlfriend.
I just went through a holiday during the Chinese New Year, and now I'm about to have another holiday. Although I worked overtime every day for more than a month until after ten o'clock in the evening, thinking about it now, Bai Qiquan still feels that this job is really exciting.
He was planning to take his girlfriend abroad for fun during the holidays, and when discussing the destination, he happened to mention the film festival.
"Cannes is in France? I really want to go to France."
His girlfriend Pang Zhen stayed in Yannan to work, and the two of them were in different places now. However, Bai Qiquan felt that based on his current income, it wouldn't be long before Pang Zhen could come to Jiangcheng to find a more relaxed job and fish.
"How about we travel to France and watch your movies by the way?"
Pang Zhen had an idea and made a suggestion.
"Ah, I don't know how many times I have watched this. It is a healing literary romance film. It will also be released in China by then, right?"
Bai Qiquan is not sure.
He is not very optimistic about the box office performance of this movie.
Although the movie is excellent, he feels it is not as shocking as "The Tide". Moreover, the audience of this kind of literary romance film is not as good as that of the epic blockbuster. It is not released simultaneously around the world, and the box office may not even be as good as the previous "Madman".
mouth" or "crying".
Moreover, it’s rare for me to go to a foreign country with my girlfriend and end up watching a movie I made. Isn’t this a bit weird?
"Then you can't watch it with me."
Pang Zhen said angrily.
"Yes, no problem, no problem at all, I'm honored!"
Bai Qiquan didn't hesitate.
It doesn’t matter where you go, what matters is who you go with. It doesn’t matter what movie you watch, what matters is who you watch it with.
Anyway, the money is enough.
"Is this movie good?"
Pang Zhen asked again.
"It's okay, it's quite warm and healing, a road movie with a little bit of adventure elements."
Bai Qiquan thought about his answer.
"Then I will also help my friends and help you get some box office."
Pang Zhen said happily.
"Should it be released simultaneously in China in May? I'm not sure about the arrangements. It might be June or July."
Bai Qiquan and the others are not responsible for distribution, and they don’t know exactly when it will be released.
However, the films exhibited will definitely be screened in France during the festival.
It is said that some ardent fans of Lu Jian have already booked flights and hotels to Cannes early, waiting to watch the movie as soon as possible.
Bai Qiquan didn't quite understand.
After ending the video call and saying good night to his girlfriend, Bai Qiquan's nightlife can finally begin.
He didn't play games because Pang Zhen had recently learned to check his records. If he was caught having a brawl late at night, he might be criticized.
He can only use his trumpet to play in the suburbs.
But Bai Qiquan really didn't play games today.
He scrolled through the videos, looked at those short supernatural videos to help him sleep, and then saw a notification.
"Cannes judge Ms. Merritt Leslie praised director Lu Jian's new film."
This is a short press release. The main theme is actually the preparations for the Cannes Film Festival and the participating films. There is an interview with some well-known judges in the middle.
Among them, Ms. Merritt’s interview is particularly eye-catching.
First of all, she is a poisonous tongue queen who is best at using sharp words to criticize works, and she basically denounces the works of commercial directors.
Secondly, she had previously published a short article, arguing that Lu Kan’s films were not even worthy of nominations, which attracted a certain amount of attention. Mainly, many domestic Lu Kan sunspots used it as their bible and kept rereading it.
Therefore, in this news article, Ms. Merritt’s sudden change of face is shocking.
"After I watched All Quiet, I thought a lot. I had many words to describe this movie, but in the end I gave up describing it, because any words to describe this movie are pale and blasphemous.
Yes, the best way to show a movie is the movie itself. I think every audience who watches this movie can feel its unique charm."
Seeing such a statement, Bai Qiquan was a little stunned for a moment.
Didn’t this person still criticize the movie before, but then changed his mind after watching it?
Is this a little... exaggerated?
Bai Qiquan himself has watched the entire movie. He asked himself, although such content is excellent, it is only excellent. To transform a film critic who was biased from the beginning into what he is now, could Director Lu really add such content to the movie?
What computer accessories?
No, not really.
He scrolled down the comments.
[Director Lu’s film is indeed invincible. How much the judges looked down on it before, now they lick it more! 】
[Am I the only one who finds it strange that the judges who were angry at Lu Tianshan a week ago are now suddenly complaining about it? Is it possible that they were paid to change their opinions, or that it was Lu Tiansheng's hype in the first place? 】
[There is no key information in this comment. I feel it can be applied to any movie. I guess it is just scene talk]
[I can understand if you want to say that Lu Jian’s movies are scary. After all, everyone has been scared, but Cannes is an art award. Do his horror movies really have artistic content? 】
[I still believe in Director Lu’s ability. He can shut up those picky judges with his quality. That’s awesome!]
[No, no, no, even now, is there anyone who doesn’t understand the black and red hype? First, let’s make a personal comment to attract attention, and then wash it off and hype it in the opposite direction. This is old marketing.]
[When will this movie be released in China? Will it only be released in foreign countries and not in China?]
There was another battle of words in the comment area, and Bai Qiquan had already seen too much. At the beginning, he was still very angry, watching the rhythmic people dancing and gnashing their teeth.
But later he didn't care anymore. The work wasn't money anyway, and not everyone would like it.
However, after seeing these comments, he still felt guilty.
If he hadn't seen the original film, Bai Qiquan might really think that this movie was super awesome, but after he had seen it, Bai Qiquan's own feeling was that it really wasn't that bragging.
"Did Director Lu really stuff the money?"
He was also a little unsure.
In mid-May, the Cannes Film Festival is about to kick off.
This time the film festival has attracted more commercial attention due to the release of Lu Jian's film. Hotels around the city are full a month in advance, and even hotels in the next city may not be able to be booked.
In the past, many movie tickets at the film festival could be purchased casually without worrying about not being able to buy them. However, this year, tickets for "All Quiet Spring" were hard to find, and many more tickets were sold for other movies as well.
Fortunately, Bai Qiquan had two movie tickets given by his company.
You can take your girlfriend to watch it together.
