Chapter 153 A Good Deal (2/6)
"Crazy Stone" has won the Palme d'Or, which is one of the highest achievements that domestic filmmakers can achieve.
Just count it, only Lao Touzi is ahead of him.
That was a pervert, and he was nicknamed as a prize-winning maniac.
He alone carried the achievements equivalent to those of other mainland directors.
Not to mention how great Hong Kong movies are, they don’t recognize them internationally.
Among the three internationally recognized film festivals, Zhang Yimou won more awards than Li An.
Li An, four first prizes, three first prizes, three second prizes, and one of the best actors - I must say that two of the four first prizes of Li An were awarded to him by Lao Tou!
This height is a height that mainland directors are currently difficult to reach.
By the way, Xie Fei, Wang Quan'an, Diao Yinan, and Gu Changwei, who won the award later, were all from Shaanxi*xi...
Lao Toozi's films have opened a window for the Western Film Festival to understand China, and it can be regarded as a way out for later generations!
When I was young, I thought that as Lao Touzi and Kai Ge grew older, they would be able to be called the double walls of the Empire...
hehe…
Two thousand years later, Chinese-language films seem to have been broken internationally, or in the three major European film festivals...
In those years, the sixth generation of "New Wave" works were displayed.
Perhaps their works have their own unique label, but in the eyes of ordinary domestic audiences, that is called banned films!
After hanging out for many years, Lao Jia finally became famous in Venice - "The Good Man in Three Gorges" won the Golden Lion Award.
Then what?
It is exactly fifteen years since the Chinese filmmakers took a Golden Palme d'Or. Zhang Junsheng once again held the Golden Palme d'Or on behalf of Chinese filmmakers!
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is recorded in history.
You know, he is only twenty-five years old!
If you continue to develop according to this career line, you can rule Chinese films for at least 30 years!
...
The closing ceremony ends, and the Cannes cocktail party hosted by the organizer...
In this regard, it is obvious that it is Vanity Fair after learning the Oscars.
On the way, Zhang Junsheng was talking to Tang Ningyu about his next itinerary.
Of course, it is worth celebrating after taking the Palme d’Or. The happiest thing is "Tengou". "Crazy Stone" can be sold for millions more!
Unit is USD…
If you win a prize, it is obvious that the price code is impossible to be the same as if you don’t.
Next, Tang Ningyu may have to stay - he needs to negotiate with the film dealers.
Wang Bo and Zhang Junsheng have to return to China. "Tiangou" is released the day after tomorrow, so we must rush back to create momentum!
A movie master and a Palme d'Or, which is of great benefit to the subsequent promotion and release of the two movies.
The entertainment version of major domestic portals is very fast, and in a few minutes the headlines were replaced with the news that the Palme drew off the Palme d'Or.
"On May 26th local time, the 61st Cannes Film Festival officially concluded. Zhang Junsheng's "Crazy Stone" went crazy and won the highest honor of the Cannes Film Festival - the Best Palme d'Or. This is also the honor that Chinese filmmakers have won again after Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" in 1993!"
Wang Bo is quite embarrassed...
Even if you win the Best Actor, you can't make it to the front page...
At the same time, Zhang Junsheng's mobile phone turned on bombing mode...
Congratulations and text messages and phone congratulations, one after another, I couldn't resist it, so I simply turned off the phone.
In fact, as early as after the publication of "Santhropod", he had become accustomed to the flattery of people and also used to the blow...
There is no saying that I am determined, I just feel very lucky.
And "Crazy Stone" is not his original work...
To be honest, although he was full of confidence, he was really not sure that those judges could understand "Crazy Stone". After all, many of the memes in it were Chinese memes...
It has a Chinese dialogue throughout the whole process, and a Chinese narration is only given in English at the bottom of the screen, and there is also a French translation - to be honest, in Zhang Junsheng's opinion, he thinks that such a movie is always said to most ordinary European audiences, and the feeling of watching it should be similar to the feeling of watching a Latin American movie with Chinese subtitles in another time and space.
Is art really borderless?
...
At the cocktail party that night, Zhang Junsheng was the absolute protagonist.
Those who know or not will come to toast.
Skin of all colors, hair of all colors, and chanting this in Chinese is all about ‘Congraduations’…
The same world, the same dream!
Just as she was talking to a Latin American film festival chairman, Sean Penn came over: "Congratulations, Zhang, your movie is great!"
"…Thanks!"
This thank you are sincere!
The awards of the three major European film festivals are very randomly issued and there are no reference standards. The biggest basis is probably the personal orientation of the chairman of the jury!
Why did Park Chan-woo's "Old Boy" win the jury award?
It is because Quentin Tarantino likes this movie in particular, and he thinks "Old Boy" is a masterpiece...
"I've seen "Survival in the Wild" you filmed."
"How does it feel?"
“It’s very real, very touching!”
Zhang Junsheng compliments and specially selected "Survival in the Wild"...
"Survival in the Wild" is definitely Sean Penn's proud work, and it took ten years to prepare...
The movie tells the story of real events. The famous American young man Chris went to Alaska pennilessly to embrace nature, but ended up starving to death in a national park...
An idealist's pursuit of freedom...
The budget for that movie was about 20 million, and the box office in North America was 18.35 million US dollars. Just from the box office, it was a loss!
Of course, this movie is regarded as a classic by many literary youths. The DVD copyright was sold for more than 10 million US dollars, and the box office outside Shanghai was almost 10 million US dollars, so it still made money...
For big actors like Sean Penn, the most important thing in a movie is feelings, not making money!
This is what Zhang Junsheng thought when he watched "Survival in the Wild", and then Uncle Sean spoke: "Zhang, has the North American copyright of "Crazy Stone" been sold?"
"…not yet."
"Paramount has always been interested in the Palme d'Or. Do you want me to introduce it?"
Damn, the idol is shattered!
"…You should talk to Tang!"
Before acquiring Dingfeng Entertainment, Zhang Junsheng investigated North American movie distribution companies. Paramount has the advantage. Although the name brings Paramount, it actually has nothing to do with Paramount. Although the parent company is Paramount, it is operated separately.
Specialized in producing and distributing independent films, a bit similar to Miramax, Zhang Junsheng investigated and found that Sean Pan had shares in Paramount...
No wonder he attended such an occasion. As expected, foreigners are all capitalists!
A maggot with a black heart!
...
Zhang Junsheng had no alcohol tolerance, so he drank a lot of alcohol in a daze. By the time he woke up, it was noon the next day.
I got up from the bed in a daze, sat on the bed and thought about the ultimate problem of the universe for a while, and only five minutes later did I remember that I was in Cannes...
Chapter completed!
