Chapter 985: The two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places gather in Cannes

"This room is so small!"

"If you want to say that France is also an old revolutionary base, how can we receive our socialist literary and artistic workers so stingy?

Even larger rooms are not arranged. It is difficult for you to turn around in the toilet."

Xie Yuan first looked inside and out, got out of the bathroom, saw Chen Kaige staring at the booklet without saying a word, and said with a smile: "What are you looking at?"

"Do you know the trends of Oriental Company?" Chen Kaige raised his eyes.

"Um?"

"Did they come to Cannes?"

"How can I know? I'm not from Oriental."

Xie Yuan was puzzled. At this moment, Wu Tianming and the leader of the Film Bureau came in. Chen Kaige asked the same question. Wu Tianming was not clear. The leader of the Film Bureau knew some news and said, "Some! It seems that the one who cooperated with Colombia is called "Rain Man"?"

"That's it!"

Chen Kaige suddenly felt very anxious, and an indescribable feeling grew from the bottom of his heart, as if the child on Yushu Street knew that Freddy was coming to capture him.

Others talked about it and the leader of the Film Bureau smiled and said, "Comrade Chen Qi won another Oscar. Unfortunately, he is busy with work and has not returned to China to award awards yet. This time he met in Cannes.

"Yes! I remember when I went to the capital to ask for a notebook. It has been six or seven years in a flash, and I have too few opportunities to see it." Wu Tianming said.

"That's not! When I was studying at Beijing Film Academy, I also played guest appearances in "Bao Qingtian". Many classmates, Wang Yue, Shen Danping, Zhang Fengyi, and Zhang Tielin! Zhang Tielin played a traitor, and was beaten up by a slut, and he was covered in a look of horse-skinned-..."

Xie Yuan is a very humorous person and likes to imitate others. He starts acting as he talks, which makes the other two laugh.

Only Chen Kaige couldn't laugh.

He has already filmed "Loess Land" and "The Great Military Parade", and "King of Children" is the third movie.

The whole film is filmed in Xishuangbanna, telling the story of a educated youth going to school to become a teacher during the humanitarian torrent. It has been released in China and only three copies are sold. The general reaction is dull and cannot be understood.

Originally, I received an invitation from the Berlin Film Festival, and the Berlin Chairman made it clear: As long as you come, you can't guarantee the grand prize, but at least you can win a big prize, meaning a jury prize or something.

As a result, Cannes also came to invite him.

The Berlin Chairman also helped analyze, saying that the Cannes Film Festival is both artistic and commercial, and "King of Children" does not have any commercial nature and is likely to serve as a foil for the entire film festival. But these people in China think that Cannes is good, so they came in the end.

Not exploring the actual nature of the film festival and making targeted arrangements, and just blindly participating in the exhibition is a common problem for domestic filmmakers during this period, because they really don’t understand it.

"King of Kids" was a lot of troubles when filming. It started 38 days, took 114 shots, and spent 30

Wan. As a result, there was a problem with the camera door and all were scrapped. Some people scolded the crowd every day, and the masters who were taken to the outdoor location refused to cook, and some people packed their luggage and prepared to go home.

But they all persevered.

Secondly, Chen Kaige went to the countryside when he was in Xishuangbanna.

So he has a lot of affection for "King of Children". He believes that he was good at filming and cannot sell it for copying. They don't understand art, but they are not confident enough to win awards in Cannes and just be familiar with it.

As a result! "Rain Man" is here, and the most annoying guy is here, and the nature may be different.

As we all know, that guy understands the West the most!

He was anxious alone, and the kind-hearted man was still chatting. Wu Tianming said, "When will Comrade Chen Qi arrive? Let's get together!"

"Of course we're going to get together, let me arrange it!"

"Hey? I heard that there are people coming in Taiwan. Can we meet?"

"this"

The leader of the Film Bureau thought for a moment and said, "Let's talk about it when Comrade Chen Qi arrives!"

Cannes.

In another hotel, Chang Aijia and Hou Hsiao-hsien are also studying it.

Hou Hsiao-hsien is 41 years old and looks like a gangster boss. She won’t introduce it much. This time she came to Cannes to promote "Love the Wind and Dust" and to participate in an Asian film forum event.

"The Rain Man is his key film. He will definitely come to Cannes. Do you want to meet him?" said Sylvia Sylvia.

"See you privately?"

"Of course we meet in private, how can we meet in public? We can also go and support "Rain Man" and "Kids King" and not be photographed by reporters."

"See you then! I want to visit Mr. Chen, too, and we are in a mess."

There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts.

Chen Qi took the Golden Bear and the Oscars, and the Taiwan News Bureau was so sour. Naturally, these directors were not convinced and tried every means to find a movie to watch. After watching it, the views were very unified: "This guy is too Westernized!"

Whether it is "Beautiful Life" or "Man in New York", they actually break out of the framework of Chinese movies and are just trying to win awards.

Hou Hsiao-hsien also has this view. He admits that the film is good, but it is not Chinese at all, oriental at all. It expresses the common emotions of human nature and is more Western.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

As he was talking, someone knocked on the door. Zhang Aijia opened the door and stood outside a woman in her 30s, with short hair and a very sarcastic temperament.

"Aiga!"

"Wow, rich lady!"

"Don't make fun of me. I'm a rich lady and I have to come here to set up a stall and sell movies?"

The woman first hugged Chang Aijia and greeted Hou Hsiao-hsien, all of whom were very familiar with each other.

Her name is Xu Feng, a Taiwanese actress. She filmed "Longmen Inn" and "The Heroes". Later, she married a boss named Tang Junnian, so she turned to the scenes and opened a film company herself: Tang Chen Pictures.

Tang Junnian is from Shanghai and went to Hong Kong at the age of 4.

When he became an adult, he went to Taiwan to start a business. At first, he sold curtains and later started real estate. His business grew bigger and bigger, and he returned to Hong Kong and formed the Tongchen Group. In 1992, the mainland was completely opened, and the couple went to Shanghai to invest, including the famous one: Tongchen Yipin!

Tang Chen has a lot of financial resources, and Xu Feng said that setting up stalls and selling movies is self-righteous.

But she is indeed here to promote movies. This person has good abilities and has a unique vision for art films.

The three of them gathered together to chat, and then the topic just now, Zhang Aijia asked, "Mrs. Rich! We are planning to support "Rain Man" and "King of Children". Are you going?"

"All of them are Chinese, so I will definitely go! Hey, will that Mr. Chen come?"

"It should be coming, what's wrong?"

"That's great! I bought the copyright of Li Bihua's "Farewell My Concubine". Li Bihua designated Leslie Cheung to play. Leslie Cheung is an actor from Oriental Company. I'm worried." Xu Feng said excitedly.

"Farewell My Concubine?"

Chang Aijia had never read the original work, so he asked about the content of the story and frowned: "That guy doesn't necessarily like shooting such a play!"

Hou Hsiao-hsien also nodded: "When you look at his previous films, what is in line with the method of "Farewell My Concubine"?"

"You have to try it! Ai Jia, you are familiar with him, and you have to ask you to have a relationship."

"When will I get familiar with him?"

Zhang Aijia quickly denied it and said with a smile: "But speaking, this time, there are people in Cannes in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three parts of our country.

It was a natural disaster, but unfortunately I couldn’t communicate publicly. When I went out, I was all Chinese-language filmmakers.”

"Taiwanese movies cannot be alone on the island. I hope they will open soon!" Hou Hsiao-hsien said.

"I can do it. I can cooperate with the mainland in the name of a Hong Kong company. I have to find a director for "Farewell My Concubine"!"

Xu Feng shrugged.

For most normal filmmakers, when they encounter overseas film festivals, they will consciously stand in the circle of "Chinese filmmakers". If there are judges, they will work hard to help win awards. At this time, it depends on the ability to fight.

"King of Children" is produced by the mainland.

Chen Qi is different. He wrote the script and participated in the investment, but "Rain Man" is a pure American film.

This makes everyone feel a little weird.
