Chapter 139 Gossip (1/6)
"I watched "Crazy Stone" twice. Did you set four clues in advance and then splice them together?"
"right."
"Oh my God, how did you think of it?"
“A lot of novels can make characters appear or disappear with the need for narratives, but the director never does that? So, I did.”
Forget it, he is a talented Hollywood girl, so there is no need to throw an Asian director into his arms, so let’s talk about movies.
"Actually, I learned a lot of directorial techniques. The first shot was a three-point perspective, and the three angles of a crash were described from the perspective of three groups of people, and finally focused together. "Killer" directed by Kubrick, George was ready to shoot after hearing the radio, and reversal four times. From the perspective of four people, time solidifies and appears instantly, entering the level of spatial narrative, expanding and extending the time capacity. Describe the actions at that time at that time, the real world is synchronic, and the story can only be told in traditional linearity. This technique breaks through the obstacles of storytelling!"
“…So, do you like Kubrick?”
"Of course, I know all the works of movie masters!"
“…No wonder you can also shoot “Crazy Stone” after filming “A Chinese Ghost Story”!”
Natalie Portman nodded: "…multiple main lines are going hand in hand at the same time, complex but not cumbersome, seemingly irrelevant but closely connected, the story is compact and the rhythm is bright, you will become a movie master!"
"…hehe."
With the identity of a master, whoever you love wants, Zhang Junsheng is not interested anyway.
In fact, in Cannes this year, there are many experts.
Matthio Galloni brought his "Gemora"; Nuri Big Ceylon has "Three Monkeys", and of course, "Che Guevara" directed by Steven Soderbergh!
French director Lauren Guntai's "Classroom Storm" is also a popular winner...
There is no way, French movies have been twenty years since the Palme d'Or, and it's time to return!
...
Li Mingze has seen the world, and he knows that foreigners hate Chinese-style cocktail parties.
The so-called Chinese-style cocktail party is: the host announces the start, the leader speaks with the main creator, and then the host announces free time, so the reporter is busy interviewing, the main creator is busy being photographed, and the leader is busy discussing business with the partner...
I don't understand why there must be time for the leader to speak...
When foreigners hold cocktail parties, they just play. A group of people walk around with champagne and chat casually. Even if there is business, they will not be put on the surface.
Huayang adopts a self-service form, with the entire hall, a long table on the left and a few salons on the right, separated by bead curtains.
The scene was played with melodious light music, which was soothing and pleasant. There were many people participating, but it was not crowded. The waiter walked around the crowd with a plate.
Zhang Junsheng walked to Hu Zongming with a cup in front of him: "Hello, Director Hu! He has wanted to visit you for a long time, but unfortunately he has never had a chance!"
After all, they are all Chinese filmmakers. Regardless of whether the other party admits it or not, Zhang Junsheng has decided it anyway!
One country, two systems, the issue of sovereignty cannot be ambiguous!
"You're welcome." Hu Zongming smiled: "I've seen your "A Chinese Ghost Story" and it's very good. I've always looked forward to meeting you, but unfortunately I don't have any chance!"
"Haha, it's far from you!"
"I won't be with you anymore, there are film dealers over there..."
"You are busy, you are the protagonist tonight!"
Hu Zong is clearly the protagonist.
After a cocktail party, the overseas copyright of "Red Cliff" has been sold for nearly $20 million...
However, it is far from enough to invest US$120 million. North America is the largest market. Li Mingze is discussing North American copyright with Harvey.
According to Tang Ningyu, Harvey is only willing to offer a price of $6 million, not even a cent more, and the advance payment is only 600,000...
Tsk tsk, Harvey never thought that not to mention 6 million, even buying "Red Cliff" would be a huge loss!
...
At 9:30 pm, Zhang Junsheng and Tang Ningyu left the reception.
The overseas copyright of "Red Cliff" is sold for up to US$30 million, which is already because Hu Zongming overdraws his credibility.
Of course, he has always kept the copyrights of South Korea and Japan in his hands. The theme of the Three Kingdoms is that whether "Red Cliff" can make a profit depends mainly on the performance of Japan and the Korean market!
North America…
Hu Zongming is not a fool. The box office of the two movies "The Wind Speaker" and "The Memory Break" failed, and his so-called North American recognition was almost zero...
Because these two films Hu Zongming was directly on the blacklist of many Hollywood companies...
That's why he returned to China to develop.
Walk along the Binhai Road, the seaside avenue is wide and tidy, with beach bays on one side and elegant hotels on the other. The hotel's buildings include ancient buildings from the last century and very modern buildings. In the green belt in the middle of the street, flowers bloom throughout the year, and the vibrant palm trees in the sun add a charming element to the small town.
During the Cannes Film Festival every year, Binhai Road is a gathering of celebrities, and of course paparazzi journalists are indispensable.
However, Zhang Junsheng is currently poorly well-known in France. Although "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released in France last year and also won a box office of 4 million euros, Zhang Junsheng is the director...
Except for a very small number of movie fans, no one cares about the director of a foreign film!
After lit a cigarette and looking at the lively crowd on the beach not far away, Zhang Junsheng smiled...
In fact, for many "literary and artistic youths", they came to Cannes because they worshiped the movie temple, but they actually did something like foaming everywhere...
Suddenly I remembered a philosopher who said: As long as a man has great talents, he will not be afraid of the loneliness of the journey!
"Hi, Zhang, are you here too?"
Zhang Jun turned his head and had a pair of brown eyes...
Natalie Portman…
"Natalie, don't you have to watch movies?"
Cannes judges are so leisurely?
I remember Gong Li said that when she was a judge, she spent every day watching movies and couldn't squeeze out time to have a meal...
"…The movie has been almost done. There will be a preliminary vote the day after tomorrow, and there will be a final vote."
After briefly introducing the process, Natalie Portman smiled and invited: "There are many local delicacies on Menadier Street over there. Do you want to eat some?"
“…Aren’t you a vegetarian?”
“Vegetarianism is not about not eating!”
That's right, Bajie is also a vegetarian, and he hasn't seen him lose much weight at all. He probably has a fat physique!
...
Menadier Street.
In Cannes, there is a narrow old pedestrian street, between the New Town and the Old Town, with exquisite small shops on both sides selling local products and food specializing in southern France.
Of course, there are also some local fly restaurants, oh, they are called specialty food!
Two strangers in this place really feel like they are alone in a stranger, especially Zhang Junsheng doesn't understand French...
It was basically Natalie introducing it, and Zhang Junsheng nodded.
They didn't know that there were at least three paparazzi following behind them...
Foreigners have very high tracking standards!
In other words, Zhang Junsheng is addicted to female porn and does not enable the detection function at all...
Chapter completed!
