Chapter 201 Cannes, "Arrows Through the Heart" (3/4)
In Cannes in May, the climate is pleasant and the sun is shining.
Filmmakers and film merchants from all over the world gather here, making this the world of movies.
At the same time, the movie fans came here with excitement.
Yuehua is led by Tang Ningyu this year, and the two films "Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" and "The Piano of Steel" were selected into the main competition unit...
Zhang Junsheng didn't come, he might not come until the official opening. "Tangshan Earthquake" is still under intense shooting. Even if the heroine is gone, there are many other scenes to shoot!
...
Originally, Tsuna helped "Inception" open the global screening in Cannes, but unfortunately, Nolan was reluctant...
In addition, the opening film has been taken away by "Robin Hood", and the relationship between Tingfeng and Global has been maintained well, so I simply did not continue to get entangled...
However, Tingfeng still shot a few film buyers to go to Cannes - buy a few romantic porn movies, and then directly release DVDs...
Dramas that seem very beautiful to Europeans, such as "Anna's History of Lust", "Nine Songs", "Dream of Paris", etc., are directly prohibited from being released publicly in the United States!
But if these movies are priced appropriately, DVD copyright alone will be a considerable profit!
By the way, "Fair Game" produced by Tingfeng was also shortlisted for the main competition unit. It was a work co-starred by Naomi Watts and Sean Pan. The director is Doug Lieman, and his representative works are "Mr. Smiths" and "Spy Shadows"...
Since last year, in addition to horror films and series, Tsuna has also begun to try action movies...
Wang Bo and Yan Bingyan came together, and they were together last time. However, Wang Bo won the Cannes Best Actor with "Tiangou", but Yan Bingyan got nothing...
This time, everyone in Yuehua is full of confidence!
"Arrows Piercing the Heart" is very well performed!
Yan Bingyan has a high probability of being the queen in one fell swoop...
The problem is that the chairman of the jury, Tim Burton, may not necessarily appreciate such a movie...
But Bo Ge is one of the judges!
That's right, Bogo is one of the judges of this year's Cannes Film Festival...
With this guy's eloquence and emotional intelligence, let alone the Best Actress, even the Best Picture may not be without a chance!
A group of luxury cars drove into the local hotel, with many European and American journalists waiting. The paparazzi raised their camera curiously and stretched their necks to see which big star came to Cannes.
Then I was a little surprised to find out... I didn't know it at all...
A little awkward...
But this is also normal. Most European and American journalists have little to do with the distant China. At most, they say, "Avatar sold $200 million there..."
The paparazzi and reporters took a perfunctory look and didn't even want to lift the camera, and it had no news value!
They are concerned about Sean Penn and Naomi Watts in Fair Games; Woody Allen in "Meet Strangers", Anthony Hopkins in "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" Michael Douglas and Shia LaBeouf in "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps"...
After all, they are the big stars!
Not to mention Yan Bingyan, even if Zhang Jun is born, it is useless - the workers in front of the scene will always enjoy more opportunities to attract attention than those behind the scenes!
It's useless for Kurosawa to come to Cannes after his death...
...
Cannes is an award ceremony in the eyes of outsiders, and in the industry it is the world's largest film dealer trade show.
In May, film dealers all over the world gathered here to find those eye-catching movies.
"The Piano of Steel" and "Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" are art films and are not suitable for screening through Yuehua's channels. Most of the films screened overseas in Yuehua in recent years are films with obvious commercial attributes, and most of the films that are too literary should be sold directly!
"Arrows Piercing the Heart" was released on May 13;
"The Piano of Steel" was released on May 14 and was placed in the Lumière Hall.
In recent years, Yuehua has gradually become a frequent visitor to European film festivals, and Cannes is very concerned about them!
Moreover, the media screening of "Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" and "Piano of Steel" was very effective, and Yan Bingyan received a lot of praise...
But Tang Ningyu was a little anxious - without Zhang Junsheng's support, he always felt a little uneasy!
It’s really not for Director Zhang, he…his plane was mistaken.
...
What is "Arrows Piercing the Heart" telling?
The Chinese version of "The Life of Li Baoli, the Disliked"...
Li Baoli is a genuine Wuhan native, oh, a city native of Wuhan.
At the beginning of the movie, she was the absolute heroine!
With rude curses, she was capable, shrewd and stingy, but she was not kind to the person and had a petty-citizen style in her heart. She had a beautiful face, but had no temperament at all; she had the enthusiasm for life, but was also full of vicious spirit.
The completely opposite to her is the image of her husband Ma Xuewu. He is a small cadre in a state-owned enterprise. He is usually humble and obeys his orders in front of his wife.
On the day of moving to a new house, Ma Xuewu suddenly filed for divorce...
Of course, Li Baoli disagreed. In order to keep her husband, she waited for her late husband every day, and even lowered her posture to take off her shoes and socks for her husband.
Then she discovered that her husband had an encounter with him and was a typist in the factory. One day, she followed her husband and lover to a hotel. Her head was too stunned and she couldn't think of any good idea, so she chose to call the police.
Ma Xuewu was arrested and dismissed as a prostitute. He did not leave a word for his wife, so he jumped into the river to commit suicide. From then on, his parents-in-law regarded Li Baoli as his enemy and his son no longer spoke to her.
In order to support her family and support her son to go to college, Li Baoli had to become a female shoulder pole.
Ten years later, Baoli's baby son Xiaobao became the top scorer in the local college entrance examination.
She thought her hard days were about to end, but she found that Xiaobao was going to break off the mother-son relationship with her on the day she got the college entrance examination.
Her hard work over the years has been just a matter of her son's eyes that she forced her father to repay the debt.
Li Baoli is the absolute protagonist of this story, and her every word and action directly influence the final direction of the whole story.
As a woman who works hard at the bottom of society and works hard to maintain a family, she is great; and as a considerate and sensible wife, competent and role model mother, she is unqualified. Therefore, in the end, Li Baoli was deviated by her husband and her son's spitting, all of which were determined by her own personality and behavior.
"The Heart of Ten Thousand Arrows" is really cruel because it hits the pain of society: no matter how big a family tragedy is, it is all about personal behavior!
At the end of the movie, the son wanted to sell the house, change the new house, and forced his mother to move out.
Just like Ma Xuewu, Li Baoli didn't leave a word, but just carried all her belongings and lived in a cheap hotel where the shoulder poles were settled.
She thought that life is her own, no matter whether it is a family of children and grandchildren or a family, she had to walk it by herself.
Characters like Li Baoli have beastly struggles and tensions, and ordinary actors can't complete them at all!
An actress can meet such a role once, which is a great blessing in life.
Yan Bingyan experienced life the second week after receiving the script, and worked as a shoulder pole for half a year...
Chapter completed!
