Chapter 832 Preparing for the Film Festival

"Cannes Film Festival?"

Zhou Yiyang raised his eyebrows, at first he thought he heard it wrong.

But in a blink of an eye, the director of the original work is from France, and the Cannes Film Festival is also from France. To a certain extent, the two are quite compatible.

However, in the past ten years, no film in China has won the honor of the three major European film festivals. Many netizens even ridiculed that every year, several domestic films that fish in troubled waters are selected for the Cannes Film Festival, purely to make up the number.

"Yes, they invited me when I finished the script." Zhang Yingyuan is regarded as the best performing director in these foreign film festivals in recent years. Every film he shoots will be screened overseas, and he is often selected The main competition unit of the film festival even lasted until the final round of selection.

Zhou Yiyang nodded, he also knew Zhang Yingyuan's status and reputation.

However, I don't know if it was luck or a lack of aura, Zhang Yingyuan missed the best picture.

"There is still one month before the official opening of the film festival. Logically speaking, the list of participating films should be released, right?"

Zhou Yiyang knew the various rules of the Cannes Film Festival before.

Similar to the earth, the Cannes Film Festival also adheres to the principle that everyone can apply.

As for Zhang Yingyuan, he was invited by the organizer and took a special channel.

However, the Cannes Film Festival here does not set up special units like "A Kind of Concern", but only the main competition unit.

In comparison, the first film festival invested by Zhou Yiyang has become a pioneer in the industry.

After the registration deadline, the organizer will select [-] films to be shortlisted for the main competition unit.

When the film festival opens, all the judges will be organized to watch the participating films, select from the middle layer, and finally select the best film.

As for the best director, the best actor and actress are nominated directly from the [-] films and then voted on.

The rules are still very simple.

"It should have come out, but it hasn't been disclosed to the media yet." Zhang Yingyuan smiled, and continued: "At least you have been shortlisted for the first round, and the domestic media will definitely praise you by then."

"Why do I feel like I walked through the back door..." Zhou Yiyang touched his nose.

"It's indeed a back door," Zhang Yingyuan chuckled, "I guess this year will be a small year. Don't be pressured, I fully believe in your directing ability."

Zhou Yiyang nodded, he had to be more attentive when editing, not to disappoint Zhang Yingyuan's trust in him.

"This Killer Is Not So Cold" ended until three o'clock in the middle of the night.

All the actors and staff went to the night market outside the film city under the leadership of Zhou Yiyang.

This night market serves the actors filmed in the film city, and the business is quite prosperous.

Even in the middle of the night, it is still brightly lit and full of people.

You can often bump into big-name actors here, but at this point in time, no one should be in the mood to say hello.

After Zhou Yiyang sat down at the barbecue booth, he ordered a lot of dishes arrogantly, almost emptying out the boss's inventory.

"Come on, everyone has worked hard these days, let's not get drunk!"

But the actors at the scene seemed very excited.

They are the first batch of viewers in the world to watch this movie, and their expectations for "This Killer Is Not So Cold" are quite high.

Now that the film is finished, they can't wait to see the film's release, audience's evaluation and market feedback.

"Mr. Zhou, I really appreciate you for asking me to play a supporting role." An unremarkable actor suddenly stood up, raised his glass and said seriously.

If he hadn't seen his serious expression, Zhou Yiyang would have thought that the other party was trying to blame him.

"I choose everyone," Zhou Yiyang cleared his throat. As soon as he spoke, the people at several tables fell silent and looked at him expectantly. "That's because you fit the role, and you recognize your acting skills. I should thank you all, because of you, this movie came about."

Zhang Yiling was sitting next to Zhang Yingyuan at this moment, but she felt a little awkward inside.

Of course she didn't dislike her grandfather.

But if she really wants to shake hands with her grandfather right now, and chat happily and happily, Zhang Yiling can't do it for the time being.

At this time Zhang Yiling heard Zhou Yiyang's words, she immediately pursed her lips, and said quietly:

"As expected of a big boss, what he said is really one set."

Zhang Yingyuan couldn't see the little girl's careful thinking, he tried to get closer, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Zhou also speaks the truth, and he has always been a pure person when it comes to movies."

Zhang Yiling raised her head, and after meeting Zhang Yingyuan's benevolent gaze, she actually avoided her gaze and lowered her head.

"Really," Zhang Yiling bit her lips, "I, I don't really understand your feelings about movies."

Zhang Yingyuan smiled, and continued: "Movies are everything to me. For Xiao Zhou, it should be an ideal. He is a person with greater ambition than me and a broader mind than me."

He glanced at Zhang Yiling and asked earnestly, "After filming the movie, how do you think this story compares to my previous movies?"

Zhang Yiling struggled for a moment, looking at Zhang Yingyuan's expression of seeking truth, she had no choice but to tell the truth:

"I think Zhou, Zhou Yiyang's story is more in line with the tastes of the audience. And after you read it, you will have some insights. As far as the core of what you want to express, what he retains is to express it in a different way."

Zhang Yingyuan was not angry at all, instead he laughed cheerfully: "Yes, he is a thoughtful person. It seems that you have learned a lot by staying with him during this time. After you go back, you should also think about you ideal."

Zhang Yiling didn't speak, at this time Zhou Yiyang finished dealing with the actors who came to toast, and walked to Zhang Yingyuan's side.

"Teacher, when you come back this time, you won't be going back for a while, right?"

"Of course." Zhang Yingyuan nodded: "I will go back during the Chinese New Year, but I still stay here in normal times. I'm used to it."

He paused, and joked a bit playfully: "I feel now that Australia is far less developed than our country!"

"Since that's the case, how about coming to be a judge at the First Film Festival next week?"

The first film festival should have started last week, because there are a few films that have not yet qualified for public screening.

Looking at it now, it was really a coincidence.

"Yes." Zhang Yingyuan agreed without hesitation: "Speaking of which, I am also looking forward to your short film."

Zhou Yiyang laughed dryly, because the short film was postponed with the first film festival, he was often scolded by netizens recently.

Zhang Yiling also raised her head at this time: "I want to watch the whole movie too, no matter how I beg Sister Su Yin, she won't tell me!"
