Fanwai Thirteen

Speaking of the last Cannes Film Festival, "Paradise Cinema" won only the Best Actor and missed the Palme d'Or. Xu Hui was very unwilling to accept it. The award ceremony ended and complained about "Adele's Life" in front of all the reporters: "I think "Paradise Cinema" did not win the Palme d'Or because Duoduo is not homosexual!"

Of course, at that time, Xu Hui was just a commercial film director who was slightly famous in China. He complained as much as he wanted, just like Teacher Bi forced himself to fight Cannes.

The scoundrel shakes the tree, adding only laughter!

The Oscar's result came out, and it was a slap in the face.

"Paradise Cinema" is awarded four out of five, and they are all highly important awards. Everyone knows that "Twelve Years of Slave" won the best film, which occupies the light of the subject matter!

More importantly, "Adele's Life" that shined last year in Cannes' Palme drew great success but failed to win the Caesar Award!

Roman Polanski won the Best Director for "Venus in Fur"!

What does it mean?

Obviously, the judges did not recognize "Adele's Life" either!

What made Cannes even more embarrassing is that on the eve of this Cannes Film Festival, Abude Cossic announced that he would auction off his hands and palms in order to shoot a new drama...

Last year, the Cannes Film Festival awarded the Palme d'Or for the first time.

According to convention, only the director can win the Palme d'Or, but "The Life of Adele" became the only film to win the Palme d'Or by the director and two actresses. The three of them are considered indispensable, and Cannes' move is a sign of the achievement of the story.

But now, according to the Hollywood Reporter, Tunisian French director Abu Dai Cosych is going to auction off the Palme d'Or that he won last year to raise funds for the new drama "Fate, My Love"...

This is a slap in the face. After taking the new palm, he didn’t have the money to make a new movie?

That's right, France spared no effort to support local films.

They have a movie support bill, which is to withdraw about 11% of a special surcharge from each movie ticket to support local works.

Moreover, with the continuous development of the TV industry and new media, the original single tax source has expanded to DVD sales, online video on demand, TV screenings, etc.

This large amount of funds is managed and operated by the National Film Center (CNC), which is affiliated to the Ministry of Culture. There are two main ways: automatic funding and selective funding.

CNC receives hundreds of candidate scripts nationwide every year, and then picks out dozens of them, giving no more than 50% of the financial support. If the film can be profitable, the film company needs to return the funds to CNC. If the box office fails, there is no need to pay back the money.

This system is very good, which guarantees the creation of art films and encourages the development of local films. Of course, it is hated by Hollywood. Because their surcharge also includes foreign films, the tax is not returned, but is directly included in the fund account.

Just like "Titanic", it paid 12 million euros in taxes in France that year, which was enough to make at least 5 local movies.

However, they did not support Abu Dai Kossish's new film!

This is very intriguing...

Perhaps the script is too trash, and even individuals can see that it is impossible to recover the cost...

It's embarrassing that the director supported by Cannes can't even withdraw funds for filming. It may be like the publicly bombarded by Leya Seidu, one of the stars of "Adele's Life", "Abude Cosych is a spoiled child, and there is still a lot to learn."

And what about Xu Hui who was ignored by them?

With "Paradise Cinema", he was successfully crowned the Oscar for Best Director. Not only that, the global box office of "Paradise Cinema" has exceeded US$300 million, which is definitely a typical example of being well-known and popular.

Pierre Lescul, the president of the new Cannes Film Festival, learned that "Beautiful Life" wanted to participate in the European Film Festival, so he specially called Xu Hui to participate in Cannes...

This is also one of the reasons why "Beautiful Life" is missing from the Berlin Film Festival.

...

Martinez Hotel No. 14.

Martinez Hotel is the official hotel in Cannes. Many directors and actors from third world countries will choose to stay here.

The mid-to-high-end ones are definitely not as luxurious as the Martinez Hotel!

Xu Hui came here not because he rested here, but to meet Jiang Wen.

He is right to be a director, but he is also a movie fan. Looking at the entire domestic film industry, the only one who has the ability to shoot works that makes him feel amazed!

Uh, Xu Hui is considered a fan of Jiang Wen...

Jiang Wen was wearing a light gray suit and was busy chatting with the reporter. Ma Ke sat next to him and looked at his partner bragging calmly.

The reporter was a little nervous, after all, Jiang Wen’s name as the killer of reporters was there.

"Why did you choose to come to Cannes to promote this time?"

Is this a problem?

Very unqualified.

Jiang Wen followed the nonsense decisively: "Because you are here, I will come when you come."

Xu Hui was talking to Ma Ke about the situation of "One Step Away". According to Ma Ke, "One Step Away" is still being edited and should be released on the New Year's Eve.

"…My "Taking Tiger Mountain in Strategy" may be in the summer season, but this year our Huiwen will have a movie released in the New Year holiday, "Huang Feihong: Dragon City Killer""

The reporter obviously noticed Xu Hui, and when he heard his words, he was very interested in asking: "Which movie, "One Step Away" or "Huang Feihong", which movie do you think is a good box office?"

"…This, ask Jiang Wen, I only know the title of the movie in "One Step Away"..."

"What do you think of "One Step Away"?"

Xu Hui was almost speechless. Which reporter from this fucking company?

Didn’t it say that the movie has not been released yet, and I’m evaluating it?

However, he still gave him a little clever face: "...Uh, I think it's definitely not as good as "Let the Bullets Fly"..."

"Why?"

The reporter is very trapped.

"Because I don't have me in "One Step Away", you should know that I am a box office lucky star... In fact, at the beginning, I must play the male lead, but later Director Jiang Wen felt that my image was too radiant and decided to star in it myself..."

Xu Hui's acting skills are very good, and this obviously nonsense is really true.

"…real?"

The reporter asked Jiang Wen.

"Yes, I'm worried that director Xu Hui will steal the glory of all the actresses in the movie if he acts as me!"

Jiang Wen also talked nonsense...

...

The reporter was harshly moved and then left decisively...

Jiang Wen looked at Xu Hui with a complicated expression: "Congratulations, "Paradise Cinema" is very good!"

These people, on the surface, look down on Oscars and Hollywood, said 'seetmovie'. I remember that at the press conference of "One Step Away", he said this: "There are really no good movies in the United States, and interstellar travels through time..."

Then, he went to film "Star Wars: The Legend of the Rogue" by himself...

Oscar honors are attractive to all filmmakers!

Except Woody Allen…

"…Thanks."

"Teacher Zheng is looking for you?"

"Um…"

"...You didn't agree?" As soon as he said that, Jiang Wen smiled: "Yes, with your current qualifications, as long as it is not a principled mistake, you don't have to be afraid of anyone!"

A principled mistake?

Cooperate with the enemy and treason?

So is the harem considered a principled error?

"I won't mention this anymore. "Beautiful Life" will premiere tomorrow. Is there a show for my younger brother?"

"certainly!"

Xu Hui personally invited him, and Jiang Wen had to agree.

"Can you ask, what type of "Beautiful Life"?"
