After the movie screening, about five minutes of applause sounded...

Cannes routine, Lao Jia has more popularity than ordinary domestic filmmakers in Cannes!

If "The Legend of Twenty-Four Cities" is handed over to Yuehua for distribution, how should it be promoted?

Not easy to deal with...

Lao Jia's name naturally carries a box office curse. Even with koi, the box office still stopped at 70 million, and the film company only had 23.75 million yuan in share...

Forget it, some filmmakers may really not be suitable for the market.

After thinking about it secretly, Zhang Junsheng got up, smiled and congratulated Jia Zhangke, and then left the screening hall...

Natalie asked: "Zhang, what do you think of this movie?"

Zhang Junsheng answered seriously: "...It's hard to say, I don't like it very much anyway!"

"I don't like it either, I can reveal a little secret to you."

"What's the secret?"

"We passed five movies in the first round of voting, including "The Legend of Twenty-Four Cities"!"

"…really? What about "Crazy Stone"?"

Natalie was confused for a moment, but she still told the truth: "Sean Penn, Alfonso Caron and I like it very much, but Rached Pochara and Jenny Barriba wanted to promote "Between the Walls"..."

"Between the Walls?"

"It's a French film."

"hehe…"

Zhang Junsheng instantly understood that all film festivals are the same, local protection...

At the entrance of the hotel, Natalie suddenly thought of something: "...Are you free tomorrow?"

"Tengou" will be released tomorrow, and there will be a cocktail party..."

"That's fine, I'll introduce someone to you when the time comes!"

"…Who? So mysterious?"

"Midnight Barcelona..."

"Woody Allen?"

"No, it's Scarlett Johansson!"

"…OK!"

Is this a three-pie?

...

Hotel, lobby, window location.

Zhang Junsheng and Lele sat across the table. The waiter brought two cups of coffee. Zhang Junsheng picked it up and took a sip. It tasted okay. He glanced at the host and reminded: "It's okay to start."

“OK!”

The photographer has already set up the machine, without makeup or shading, and behind it is the coastline of Cannes...

“Mr. Zhang…”

"Don't, you'd better call me Director Zhang, after all, I'm an artist!"

"Okay, Director Zhang, this year should be your first time attending a film festival. Do you have any special feelings?"

"...I don't have any special feelings. I just feel that holding a large film festival does require a certain amount of appeal, and a mature film festival does require commercial intervention. As far as I know, every time a Cannes session is held, it costs at least 20 million euros. The French government will only sponsor 2 million to 5 million euros a year. The rest depends on the chairman to attract sponsorship and the stall meeting in the trading market!"

After a pause, Zhang Junsheng continued: "Our country has only one Class A film festival, but the political axe is too deeply involved, and it is difficult to establish a real and own appeal!"

“…”

Lele was a little speechless. What she wanted to ask was the feeling of "Crazy Stone" being shortlisted for the main competition unit. Zhang Junsheng actually involved the operation of the film festival...

He is really a big shot, with a broad perspective and a different perspective on things!

So, just be straightforward: "What kind of movie do you think "Crazy Stone" is?"

"…A commercial film of entertainment nature, I don't want to argue with those experts who look down on commercial films anymore. I might as well make a commercial film to see if I can win the award. If I win the award, it will definitely be their biggest blow!"

“Do you really want to win the award?”

"Of course, what else would I do in Cannes?"

Zhang Junsheng looked at Lele with an idiot's eyes...

Can you ask some in-depth questions?

Who doesn't want to win the award in Cannes?

Those who say that they can be shortlisted are the best rewards, either they have no confidence or they are lying.

"I hope that when foreigners talk about Chinese films, in addition to the fifth and sixth generations, they will also talk about the new generation coming to the director group!"

"Let's talk about the film festival, where Sean Penn serves as the chairman of the jury. How do you feel about him?"

"…No matter how good I feel to him, it's useless. I don't know him at all!"

"Where is Natalie Portman?"

Zhang Junsheng said concisely: "...I admire her as a self-disciplined actress. She is very powerful and can talk to each other."

"But, the scandal between you and her has been circulating in China these days..."

"Is that so? I thought only French paparazzi were so boring! I can clearly say that I have no idea of ​​finding a girlfriend for the time being, and career is the priority!"

...

"Crazy Stone" will continue to be screened during the Cannes Film Festival, but the number of screenings is extremely limited. Except for the opening screening, there will be only six episodes in the next ten days.

The second screening will be held tonight.

Tang Ningyu hung up the phone excitedly: "Junsheng, the organizing committee called me just now, and they suggested that we have another four games!"

"…Why?"

"The scene just now was crowded with more than 2,000 spectators, and only one-third of them entered the venue in the end, so the organizing committee suggested that we increase the number of screenings."

Zhang Junsheng frowned slightly and thought for a while before he said, "Still the current screening scale, and find a few trustworthy media to report on the spot and spread it to China!"

Although increasing the number of screenings can alleviate the mood of Cannes audiences wanting to watch movies, there may not be such a grand occasion of queuing up to enter the venue...

Hunger marketing!

Moreover, the Cannes screening was less than 100,000 euros in a game. There is no need to destroy the "Crazy Stone" for such a small amount of money. "The whole nation wants to watch "Crazy Stone"...

The biggest scene of "Crazy Stone" must be in the country!

Mobilize the enthusiasm of domestic audiences to watch movies...

For him, defeating "Red Cliff" head-on is what we should consider now...

The Cannes screening of Hu Zongming's "Red Cliff" has ended. As expected, the overseas copyright was only sold for US$22 million, and the North American copyright was not sold at all...

Tang Ningyu instantly understood what Zhang Junsheng meant and nodded.

After he finished calling, Zhang Junsheng greeted: "Let's go!"

They are going to attend the cocktail party held by "Twenty-Four Cities"...

They are all domestic filmmakers, so it is time to help each other to support the scene.

"…The rating of the "Twenty-Four Cities" is not high. It is generally believed that the pace of this film is very problematic, and peripheral film manufacturers dare not offer any price casually, and the copyright is not smooth!"

"It's normal, but Lao Jia still has face. The French box office of "The Good Man in Three Gorges" is said to have broken the record of Chinese-language films!"

The two of them chatted while walking, and Tang Ningyu said the latest news: "Lion Gate wants our global issuance rights!"

"…Do Lions Gate have global issuance capabilities?" Zhang Junsheng questioned.

"…This, there should be, their Saw's global box office is not bad..."
Chapter completed!
