Zhang Junsheng arrived in Marseille on the afternoon of the 13th. After getting off the plane, he quickly turned around and headed to Cannes...

When I arrived at the hotel, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and I was dragged to attend the "Yuehua Movie Night"...

Well, it was an exchange meeting held at the hotel where I stayed at, but it was actually a film sales meeting!

Cannes is the world's largest film trading market.

If you want to sell a movie, you naturally have to show yourself. In addition to advertising on the magazine, those with conditions will of course recruit film dealers around the world and negotiate it in one go!

By the way, let’s talk about the Cannes magazine scoring. More than half of the 17 movies in the main competition unit have been displayed. Currently, the number one ranks "Another Year", with 3.4 points...

"Arrows Piercing the Heart" and "The Piano of the Steel" both have 3.1 points...

The score is OK, at least it won’t be as good as in Rizhao Chongqing, with only 2.2 points.

"Rizhao Chongqing" is the work of the sixth-generation famous director Wang Xiaoshuai, and it is very... mediocre.

It can be seen that Wang Xiaoshuai wants to make a commercial film, but he still uses his way of making literary and artistic movies, and the camera language is more like a documentary - in the first ten minutes, he saw the actors walking constantly...

"Rizhao Chongqing" has caused investors to suffer a lot. Since then, Wang Xiaoshuai has never dared to play big investment again...

Still isolated on the edge of the market, it seems that no one looks down on anyone from the "market", and looks like a life-and-death attitude.

It is of course a good thing for artists to focus on art, but if the great directors only focus on art, it is definitely not a good thing for Chinese films.

After all, the movie is still for the audience to watch.

The audience's aesthetic needs to be cultivated by the director, and the director should also adapt to the audience's taste.

Many times, it is not that the audience does not understand art, but that your art is not universal enough.

"Farewell My Concubine" is of course an artistic masterpiece, but few viewers say they can't understand it.

In fact, most of the people in charge of Cannes magazine scores choose from professional media such as Time, Daily Mail, Los Angeles Times, Visual and Audio, and Main Films.

It has nothing to do with the judges!

In fact, the points given by film critics and media can only represent the personal taste of the film critics, not represent the quality of the film, nor can it become an element that predicts whether the film can win an award.

So, this scoring is actually meaningless!

The promotional typos such as "The European Strategy" and "The True Three Kingdoms" appeared in the Cannes magazine", "The Master of Memory" appeared on the cover of Cannes on the first day, and it was a complete competitor" does not have to be taken seriously.

You can get it by giving it money!

"Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" and "The Piano of the Steel" have all appeared in the magazine, with a clear price of 100,000 US dollars per book...

...

Lucbesson is here, and Europa Films signed a three-movie contract with Yuehua last year.

He holds the latest work in his hand.

"Aung San Suu Kyi"...

Zhang Junsheng was a little confused: "…What is this?"

"My new work is starring poorly!"

“…Where is “The Wandering Earth”? Where is “The Full Band Blockage Interference”?”

"We studied it and said that "The Wandering Earth" requires at least 150 million euros to invest, and decided to postpone the filming and shoot a few works with smaller investments first. This "Aung San Suu Kyi" is the first work we collaborated on..."

Zhang Junsheng was speechless: "Do you think such a movie can be screened in China?"

As an ally of the Pastry Military Government, of course I have to block this...

Moreover, "Aung San Suu Kyi" is an unqualified work, and it is miserable in terms of themes and box office!

The most important thing is that when he signed a contract with Europa Pictures, Zhang Junsheng just wanted to use the other party’s special effects and European distribution capabilities...

The promised "The Wandering Earth", "Full-band Blocking Interference", "Rural Teachers"...

Have you taken the money but refused to admit it?

Realizing that Zhang Junsheng's face was not good, Lucbesson explained: "Europa Pictures has to keep more than six movies released every year. I have to shoot works every year. Works like "The Wandering Earth" have a long production cycle..."

"So, you took us 50 million euros and then made a work that could not be recovered?"

"…Zhang, I think with your influence in the mainland, it shouldn't be difficult to release "Aung San Suu Kyi"?"

Zhang Junsheng suppressed his anger: "Thank you for looking down on me so much!"

"The reason why we choose to cooperate with you is that we value your influence in the mainland. 2 million euros, "Aung San Suu Kyi" is for you!"

“…”

Zhang Junsheng smiled directly: "We decided to develop the Wandering Earth, "Full Band Blockage Interference", "Rural Teacher", and we decided to develop it ourselves, and the contract between Yuehua and Europa Films ends here!"

Lucbesson suddenly smiled: "Zhang, have you considered it clearly? This is France!"

"…hehe…"

...

When Tang Ningyu heard about Zhang Junsheng and Luke Besson's meeting, he hurried over to inquire and listened to his story.

"You mean Lucbesson put us together?"

"…That's right, and I made a fierce move!"

He picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "It will be difficult for them to get the money back when they have arrived!"

“…Is there no other way?”

"Brother, do you think he will actually develop "The Wandering Earth"?"

Tang Ningyu was also a little angry: "I will immediately cancel the team stationed in Europa when I go back and drive them out of Yuehua!"

"…This is all a trivial matter, 50 million euros are not too much, but if this matter is spread, Yuehua's stock price will definitely fall!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Junsheng couldn't help but curse himself: "I'm just a pity when I step on the horse!"

When we negotiated cooperation with Europa Pictures, everything was done in accordance with international practice, and a group of people were sent to communicate...

What Zhang Junsheng thought was that the mainland film market was so huge that Europa Pictures would give up without reason...

Yes, his consciousness stayed in the original time and space. The mainland market at that time was of course huge enough, but what about now?

Ranked fifth in the world...

Fifty million euros...

With such a big temptation, Europa Films will be normal!

"…Stop blaming yourself, what should I do now?"

"After going back, I will hold a press conference for the press conference immediately to announce that "The Wandering Earth" is officially launched... Wait, I want to make another science fiction movie and then make "The Wandering Earth"!"

Zhang Junsheng sneered...

"What are you going to shoot?"

"Super Body!"

Luke Besson dared to play Yuehua, and Zhang Junsheng was not burdened with his project at all...

"By the way, have you heard of Hurricane Rescue?"

"…I don't know, is it your new work? A disaster film?"

"Okay, I get it!"

It seems that the "rescue" series, which is the foundation of Europa Pictures, has not yet been released, that's good!

"By the way, "The Piano of Steel" and "The Heart of Ten Thousand Arrows" have received invitations to the closing ceremony!"
Chapter completed!
