Chapter 154 Status Improvement (3/6)
In the first class, Zhang Junsheng sat down, and a gentle man with glasses next to him spoke politely: "Hello, Teacher Zhang, I am Yang Li, the editor-in-chief of Entertainment Weekly. Can you delay you for a few minutes? I want to interview you for a few questions!"
“…How did you know that I made this flight?”
Zhang Junsheng was stunned and subconsciously suspected that his information was betrayed by the people around him...
"Haha, our magazine divided eight groups of people and bought first-class tickets for all the flights from France to China today and tomorrow. Let's take a chance..."
“…So that’s how it is.”
Zhang Junsheng nodded: "What if I had been staying in Cannes these days?"
"Then we think we are unlucky!"
Yang Li was very straightforward.
Zhang Junsheng is not very clear about how valuable his interview is!
So far, the only magazines that can get his interview are "Sanlian" and Zhalang Weibo...
The outside world has already offered 800,000 yuan!
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhang Junsheng’s interview is worth ten thousand yuan!
Now that "Crazy Stone" is crowned the Cannes Film Festival, Zhang Junsheng is already a legend in the Chinese film industry...
The first interview after winning the award...
Thinking with your toes, I also know the value of this thing!
...
"It is said that you are not optimistic about your winnings in advance, right?"
"…The main thing about "Crazy Stone" is a commercial film, and it's a Chinese comedy. I'm really a little worried that the judges may not understand it! As it turns out, I'm thinking too much, and movies are indeed borderless!"
“…can you talk about the overseas sales of Crazy Stone?”
"certainly,"
The reason why Zhang Junsheng is willing to accept an exclusive interview is not only a bit admired by Yang Li, but more importantly, he wants to use this to promote it.
"Most of the copyrights of "Crazy Stone" have been sold out now, including North American copyrights, and together they sold nearly $28 million."
“28 million?”
"Yes, actually, I want to directly authorize it to several large companies with global issuance. However, next, Yuehua will have several big moves, requiring a lot of funds, so I can only choose this way of directly selling copyrights!"
"Big move? Can you talk about it in detail?"
Zhang Junsheng waved his hand: "This is not OK, it is a commercial secret!"
"Then... talk about "Tengou"?"
Seeing Zhang Junsheng nodding, Yang Li asked: "Wang Bo won the Cannes Best Actor, have you ever thought about it before?"
"…I have thought that Wang Bo's acting skills are unique. He is not handsome, but he has a grassroots halo. When he acts, he rarely speaks Mandarin. It's not that he is not good at Mandarin. He is a student in the dubbing class of the Film Academy!"
"If an actor acts only by relying on his own attributes, he must not be a good actor. His cleverness is that he not only knows how to position himself, but also is good at exerting his own characteristics to the best. A good actor must be good at "observation". Only by observing the people around him in a more meticulous manner, refining, sublimating his characteristics, and applying them appropriately to himself can he perform the essence of such characters."
"Before the filming of "Tengou", he went to the small mountain village alone and stayed for three months."
"Accept the role I play from the bottom of my heart, show the character of the character from the inside out, and be free to restrain and relax. Most importantly, he has his own pursuit and respect for acting! He is the kind of actor I admire very much!"
Zhang Junsheng has a high opinion of Wang Bo!
Of course, no matter how high he is, he is already the best actor in Cannes!
"By the way, when you were interviewed in Cannes, you specifically emphasized that "Crazy Stone" will be released on June 20," and said, "I don't care what movies there will be in the same period." Is it meaningful?"
"Haha, it's really entertainment, and it's so sensitive!"
Zhang Junsheng couldn't help but say something.
This kind of invasion remark is always his favorite and the best tool to mobilize the box office!
"That's right. "Crazy Stone" is scheduled to be released on June 20th. This was determined by the end of last year when the film was launched. In order to avoid "Red Cliff", there are not many screening rooms now, and the same schedule is not enough to accommodate two movies."
"But half a month ago, we received a notice that "Red Cliff" should be June 19..."
Yang Li's eyes lit up. These are top secret information and have not been circulated in the circle yet...
Zhang Junsheng continued: "Then, we discussed it and upgraded it to June 1st, and then received a notice that "Red Cliff" was also upgraded to June 1st..."
"It's clear to target me!"
"You said that the production cost of "Red Cliff" was 120 million US dollars and "Crazy Stone" was 12 million RMB. Is it comparable in box office? Moreover, it is produced and distributed by China Film, and you understand if you don't say it."
“… Then why is it decided to release on June 20 now?”
"I'm not afraid of him. The overseas sales rights of "Crazy Stone" have exceeded "Red Cliff". The number of fans in Guo Bei will definitely not be much smaller than Hu Zongming. If you want to fight, I will fight. Who is afraid of whom?"
...
The Cannes Film Festival ended successfully.
Chinese actor Wang Bo and Chinese director Zhang Junsheng became the biggest winners, and newspapers and media in Europe and North America only mentioned it in the reports.
How to say, the weight you have distributed in the Cannes Film Festival can actually be tied with the Caesar Award!
As for Italy, Germany, and the United Kingdom, they have their own film awards.
North America?
Sorry, North America does not pay attention to European art except Oscars...
Their attention to this matter is not as great as we imagined. At least, compared to China, it is simply not worth mentioning!
It is obvious that Zhang Junsheng is more popular in China, and domestic movie fans have even more desire for the Palme d’Or!
Moreover, "Crazy Stone" won the Palme d'Or, which is equivalent to a cultural output...
Shangfeng has been talking about strengthening cultural output. At this time, Zhang Junsheng and "Crazy Stone" were standing in the forefront...
So, at 7:30 in the morning, CCTV made full efforts - "The King of Heaven and the World", and specially intercepted the picture of Zhang Junsheng holding the cup and reported it for two minutes!
At the same time, except for a few policy newspapers in the newspaper booth, which can only put this news in the second page or the entertainment and cultural section, all other newspapers are front-page headlines and huge photos.
Zhang Junsheng held the Palme d'Or and smiled brightly...
For a moment, a nationwide sensation!
In the past, Zhang Junsheng's reputation could only be circulated within his book and movie fans. This time he appeared on the news reports of the Central Mother, coupled with the crazy publicity of street newspapers.
Zhang Junsheng finally entered thousands of households.
At least, when talking about the term director, in addition to Zhang Yimou, ordinary people can think of Zhang Junsheng...
This is how reputation is established step by step!
Moreover, with CCTV and the ardent attention of Shangshang, let’s put it this way, in a short period of time, as long as Zhang Junsheng does not commit suicide, no one in the industry dares to mess with him, even Zhongying!
Chapter completed!
