After returning from the hospital, Fang Yi had to take his first trip to Cannes seriously.
"Seventeen Again" received a lot of attention in Cannes, and film producers are relatively optimistic about the film's overseas sales. After the first two films "Love After Life" and especially "Love Letters", hugo Fang has already made a name for itself in the world.
He has gained a certain reputation in the film industry.
Of course, his age also plays a big role in this. He is a rising young director with strong creative power. He makes at least one movie every year. He is enough to enter the halls of world movies and be scrutinized by more people.
talent.
Film is one of the eight major arts, and the art world is more interested in "genius". The art world does not believe in "hard work". Take the film industry as an example. Of course, the most complicated and most demanding thing is the director, who usually has to be thirty years old.
Only when you go up and down can you start to stand out, but talented directors don't need to pay attention to secular rules.
For example, film director Orson Welles was only 26 years old when he filmed his career masterpiece "Citizen Kane."
Zhang Yimou was 36 years old when he won the best actor award for "Old Well", but you have to consider that he worked as a worker in a steel factory for 8 years. During this period, with his financial resources, it was difficult for him to learn film techniques independently.
This year's Cannes Film Festival has started on May 11th and will end on the 23rd. Since the opening ceremony, Chinese filmmakers have come to sell their films one after another. On the 11th, there was Fan Meiren, on the 12th, the crew of Chen Kexin's "Martial Arts", and on the 13th.
Li Bingbing came to the scene and stated the truth, "I am here just for business."
Unfortunately, another French actress that day wore a restricted outfit that could have been worn on the set of Woodpecker Films, and stole all the limelight from Li Bingbing.
On the 14th, there will be the year-end blockbuster film "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", which was produced by Bernard. Bernard's boss Yu Dong likes the beach very much, and almost every year he will find an excuse to go to the beach for vacation.
This time was no exception. The entire Bernard company's top management parachuted down to the beach in Cannes and spent huge sums of money to launch a Chinese cultural festival there.
On the 15th, Fang Yi's two seniors, Tang Wei and Yuan Li, were present, and on the 16th, they became Li Xiaoran - making China's stardom at this Cannes Film Festival obviously in decline.
Sister Zhen complained to Fang Yi: "You can't support young students from the Mainland. They are all acting in TV series, and there are no starring movies that are good enough... My above remarks do not include you. You are their fig leaf."
"It's because of you that the media didn't realize the problem."
Fang Yi: "What do you mean?"
Sister Zhen said: "It means that when we select the golden generation, we will put you in and say that young filmmakers have risen and benefit from your glory; when it comes to young filmmakers, we will exclude you and say
You should be put in the circle of those old monsters, you are the exception."
Fang Yi was also helpless about this.
Although Chen Kun and Fang Yi have successively broken the stereotype that mainland students cannot carry the box office, it still takes time to stop a moving train or even reverse its direction.
Right now, there are no new niches recognized by the market.
Fang Yi stepped in, just like Liu Heng did a few years ago. He was the only one, obviously he was not very old, but for some reason, the media did not regard him as a "niche"
”.
For example, in the 2011 "Southern Zhou" selection of "Four Majors", Director Fang topped the list. However, he appeared to be inferior to the other three and thirty others in total. Netizens questioned the significance of these "Four" and why they bothered.
The "Big Four" were forced together.
Modu writer Guo Xiaosan was very angry and sent out several scarves:
"In the dark valley, re-brighten the flickering light. Those quiet secret jungles have been covered with layers of fallen leaves for thousands of years. The pearls flowing under the fallen leaves are your eyes that were blinded many years ago."
This means that the selection list is blind.
"Some children on the road began to celebrate their success in the selection. They put on clothes they usually didn't dare to wear, dyed their hair, and the youthful publicity filled the entire street. The time was so happy, but so cruel."
Siluke
This is meant to satirize the other three young students who pretend to be adults and try to gain popularity.
However, should Director Fang be kicked out of the "Four Young Students" who are selected every year? Without Director Fang, he would have been scolded much more than he is now.
The day before leaving, Fang Yi met Zheng Qiudong in his office.
Zheng Qiudong is here to report. After that, Zheng Qiudong should be called Manager Zheng now. Manager Zheng will help Fang Yi deal with his personal financial problems.
Because Xiao Zheng worked as a young man, even though his talents were in the financial market, he had to start with small things. This was also his probationary period.
Fang Yi's top priority is to find a new nest.
"Buy a suite or a villa. It doesn't matter if the value rises or not. There is only one thing. I don't want to see the paparazzi."
Fang Yi said to Zheng Qiudong.
Zheng Qiudong agreed: "I will find it as soon as possible...but your needs are too broad, so I may bother you many times in the future."
"That's all right."
Under the fluorescent lights, Zheng Qiudong's appearance was clearly displayed in front of Fang Yi. He was not on a golf course or a Michelin restaurant now.
Zheng Qiudong looks very much like one of Fang Yi's friends.
Fang Yi: "You look a lot like Hu Ge."
Zheng Qiudong showed no expression, "People have been saying this to me since I started working."
Sister Zhen teased: "It's far worse than Hu Ge. What does Hu Ge look like? He..."
Zheng Qiudong was not angry at all and nodded slightly.
He is indeed a talented person from the business world, he seems to not care at all.
Sister Zhen became even more angry. After Zheng Qiudong left, she gave Zheng Qiudong eye drops:
"He's not even angry like this. He's too scheming. We can't trust him too much."
Fang Yi didn't care: "If you tell a handsome guy that he's not good-looking, he won't be angry because he knows you're talking nonsense."
"Boss Fang, what matters to me is whether I am angry or not. What matters is whether I believe you or not."
"We cannot impose a presumption of guilt on people."
Sister Zhen could only take a few deep breaths, "I understand."
Her job is to help Fang Yi negotiate a spokesperson contract for "Rolex", uu看书www.uukanshu.com<
/a>If possible, help Liu Tianxian develop, and at least give Xianyu Liu a chance to be with him.
These business activities are indeed beyond what Liu's mother can handle.
Rolex's positioning is more focused on men's watches and it doesn't like to find female spokespersons, but that doesn't mean it can't find a female ambassador.
“Do you really want to terminate the contract with Tissot?”
Sister Zhen's tone was very complicated. "At first, it was because of the mistake of getting the international seal and Liu Yifei's hype... But with your current achievements, they can't make mistakes again. If we use this to ask for prices, shares, and customized personal product lines...
...Any request will be met."
Fang Yi did not agree: "When I was filming a Burberry commercial, I chatted with the executives here one day, and they made it clear that they hoped that I would stop wearing mismatched watches, which would ruin the overall style."
Sister Zhen’s logic suddenly became self-consistent: “Is this the reason? No wonder!”
"No! In fact, it was because of the unwarranted hype. Some people have no choice, some people have choices, and I have a choice."
The real sister is thoughtful.
On the 20th, the crew of "Seventeen Again" arrived in Cannes, France, and began a three-day trip to sell the film. Fang Yi once again guest-starred as the best salesperson.
Not only to build publicity for his new film, but also to promote his side business.
