In fact, there are two movies that will definitely win awards, one is "Gangsters".

The director of this movie is the black film flagship Spike Lee, which tells the story of a black policeman who accidentally undercovered the 3 party comedy. His attitude resolutely satirizes and criticizes the current political ecology of the United States. It's so fucking Cate Blanchett's appetite!

There is also a very mediocre work of "The Sun Daughter", full of the feminist slogans of Kurdish female warriors fighting fundamentalist terrorists with Western imagination labels!

Chinese-language art films have been in a bottleneck for nearly two or three years. A more significant indicator is that when Cannes wants to win over the Chinese film market, it is still difficult to pick out suitable films for Cannes.

Last year, on the 70th anniversary of Cannes, Fan Bingbing was invited to be a judge, but he couldn't choose a suitable film. He chose Li Ruijun's "Passing by the Future" at the last moment.

But judging from the final response, this should be a relatively reluctant choice, or it is very likely to choose a Chinese film.

An overall feeling is that with the rapid development of the Chinese film market, from the perspective of commercial market, Cannes is increasingly needed to win over the entire Chinese film industry, and there are more and more Chinese buyers coming to Cannes;

But on the other hand, compared with the 1990s and the beginning of the new century, Chinese-language art films are now falling into a relatively low creative trough.

The fifth generation has completely withdrawn from the historical stage, and the sixth generation is now only Lou Huohua and Jia Zhangke who still maintain relatively high-quality artistic creations. The sluggishness of Hong Kong films has been around for a day or two, and the wave of new films in Taiwan has long passed, and a new generation of directors has not emerged.

Therefore, on the top stage of Cannes, the once Chinese-language film wave has begun to give way to South American and Southeast Asian films.

Of course, Cannes is very concerned about the second largest film market in the world in the Chinese market, which is not a false one!

Then Xiaobai's works were sent.

Ordinary European movie fans may not know Bai Xiaofei's name. The Cannes Chairman is not an ordinary person. People have long known your background. They think Bai Xiaofei is already the leader of the young generation in the Chinese film industry!

If you can be trained to become a direct line, hehe, you know...

Therefore, the screening room arranged for them is the largest screening room in the entire Cannes Palace of Movies in Lumière!

...

When the crew arrived in Cannes, the first thing they did was to promote.

After receiving the invitation to participate in the exhibition, the studio's publicity department had already started preparing and designed a batch of picture albums and brochures. Finally, Xiaobai chose one and printed it. Before the crew arrived in Cannes, they had already packed it and sent it first.

In addition, of course there are posters and the like!

The commercial atmosphere in Cannes is very strong, and there are a bunch of movie posters everywhere!

The Cannes Film Festival is simple and complex. It is said that it is simple because the programs are similar every year;

Every year in mid-April, the Cannes Film Festival Organizing Committee will hold a press conference in Paris to announce the list of movies that were shortlisted for the main competition unit.

Cannes in May will welcome film creators, stars, film company practitioners, media reporters, film critics and countless fans from all over the world. Everyone gathers in this small town in southern France under the name of "movies", performing their own duties and sharing their own ways in the crazy operation of the "film festival" machine.

It is said to be complicated because Cannes is like Hollywood and Oscars, and they are full of various factors under the table.

However, from the surface, the Cannes Film Festival is as bright and lively as it is.

The film industry is not only an art circle, but also a closed-ended "interpersonal circle" that is difficult for outsiders to break into.

There is even so-called "direct line" in Cannes, and there are even sayings of direct line in the three major European film festivals.

Unlike the concept of "traveling backdoors to make relationships" or even "unwritten rules" in the minds of Chinese people, the formation of Cannes' "direct line" originated more from the traditions and phenomena of "circles" in Western society.

The French are keen on and strictly abide by the rules of circles, which not only exists in the film industry, but also in the fashion industry, business industry and even all walks of life.

"It's not that one family doesn't enter the family." When entering the "home", one must abide by the "family rules" and unite to the outside world if necessary.

The Cannes Film Festival is a high-end mansion. The role of the artistic director is roughly equivalent to the gatekeeper and housekeeper. Naturally, not everyone is qualified to enter this door. In the context of multiculturalism, it is a more mysterious thing to generate an international direct family. This is different from the "relationship" in the eyes of the Chinese. The direct family certainly relies on intimate history, but its formation cannot be obtained by doing something wrong or purely money transactions. At least it needs to meet the high expectations of the Cannes symbol in terms of artistic style, expression of thought, creative perspective, identity background, etc., and cannot be forced.

If it falls in love with you, spring will come.

The emphasis and cultivation of the direct line makes people outside the door envious. At least, every year, direct line directors may gain the attention of global flashes, and their movie posters may be printed on the Cannes Film Festival icon. This killer move in film marketing will help them stand out in the film market.

The names of Cannes directors are almost well known in the movie circle, such as the Dane brothers, Ken Rocky, Mike Lee, Las Vontyr, Almodovar, Naomi Kawase, Ceylon, etc.

Nagging a few more words about the genius young man Dolan, the so-called luck is not a pie that was smashed out of thin air. Since he had sex with Cannes at the age of 19, Dolan has taken the Cannes Express to achieve advanced growth.

At the age of 25, he won the special jury award tied with Godard, the mythical veteran of the film industry. He cried red in his eyes at the award ceremony. He also encouraged movie teenagers around the world not to give up their dreams easily. Finally, he hugged the jury chairman Campen like a mother and son.

How many young artists with red eyes can only sigh: Why is this?

Talent and unique thinking vision are of course the first priority, and the chance to be taken into consideration is also essential.

However, genius boys are not a minority in the world. In addition to being full of talent and the opportunity to be seen, Dolan's luck is also due to his fullness of various elements that Cannes eagerly needs: he was born and raised in the French-speaking Quebec, able to speak English and French bilingual, and has a family background in a performing arts family. He debuted as an actor at the age of 4. He accumulated a certain reputation and reputation in the local area as a teenager. He has a good appearance and temperament, a homosexual identity, and a restrained and not exaggerated personality. He is young. All this is born for Cannes.

Other genius teenagers should accept their fate.

In short, the Cannes Film Festival deeply reflects the humanistic characteristics in terms of creating logic, film selection standards, concept shaping, etc. In the end, the film is a director's film, and the director becomes a director with the impression of Cannes. The Palme d'Or is prohibited from participating in any other international film festival. The films shortlisted for the official selection must indicate the words "official selection" of the Cannes Film Festival on its various promotional materials!

The author's idea of ​​creating before is actually appreciated, after all, art becomes charming because of personal talents.

So, if "Trumen's World" wins the award, it is very likely that it is just because Cannes needs Bai Xiaofei!

Every year, Chinese media ask countless questions: "Are there any Chinese-language movies shortlisted for Cannes this year?" or ask "Why are our movies getting farther and farther away from Cannes and Venice?"

Why do you want to ask yourself from a different perspective, "What kind of Chinese-language movies do Cannes need?" Or, "Why do you have to go to Cannes in Chinese-language movies?"

When Chinese-language films are missing in Cannes stage, perhaps we should reflect on not only the problem of the film industry, but also the question of whether Chinese-language film directors can stick to creations with personal style and perspectives without being kidnapped by reality under the entire creative environment. Of course, there is also the question of whether they are willing to be kidnapped by Cannes.

This is the reality. Even Bai Xiaofei is thinking about going to Cannes to gilt, and you can imagine what other directors think!

...

What is the most important thing as a director?

Of course the movie is popular!

Box office big sale!

The other awards and the like are all affiliated values. From the perspective of the movie itself, the possibility of a big sale is not very high, but it is Bai Xiaofei's work, and it is still easy to get a box office of 5600 million yuan. It would be even better if the movie could be sold to Europe and North America through the Cannes platform!

As for the Cannes Film Festival, we still have to come, but if we can win the award after we come, there is no pressure. The purpose of coming is actually very simple: people always have dreams, what if it is realized?

Hollywood's globalization proves that commercial movies are the king.

As for films like "The World of Truman", if you have creative ideas in the future, you should forget it if you don't have any ideas...
