"Cannes Film Festival? Uncle Xiang ha ha ha ha—"

Sitting in the office of the Locomotive Film Company at 1024, Dodley Building, Johnston, Li Hanxiang ignored Wu Xiaozu, who was full of dog legs.

Kill the 82-year-old Lafite in the cup in one gulp.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr but—————————————"

Li Hanxiang's flower shirt and gold necklace, his legs crossed, the red wine gurgled back and forth in his mouth for a while, and then he swallowed it, followed by a big wine burp, and a strong smell wafted out. The old rascal had eaten a lot of oysters, seahorses and leeks in the morning .

"..."

Wu Xiaozu glanced at Liang Jiahui: This is your master?An international director with both ability and political integrity?
Liang Gahui: ╮(╯▽╰)╭

"Uncle Xiang~~Brother Zu, did he really get selected for the Cannes Film Festival?"

Wang Xianxian stood behind Li Hanxiang, pinching his shoulders, and asked coquettishly, "Does this mean that you are going to Cannes to participate in the selection? There is a chance—"

"Gu Liang, stop, stop, you can crush this old bone of mine—why do you have such a strong hand as a girl?" Li Hanxiang hurriedly called to stop, no longer looking calm and breezy, and spoke Mandarin, It has a taste of the surrounding area of ​​the imperial capital.

"Where is it? People have very light hands, okay?"

Fairy Wang was displeased, and retorted with squinting eyes, "Uncle Xiang, are you a weak old man? Every time Brother Zu, I do the same. He is very comfortable..."

Mr. Li Hanxiang Jiao almost spit out a mouthful of blood, Lou?Li Hanxiang straightened his chest.

"Fart! This rush to the street is just a special concern for being selected into the Cannes Film Festival's out-of-competition section.

Cannes chooses from thousands of works every year, and selects about 18 films to enter the film festival. There are only [-] films in the main competition.

He is neither a master, nor a pure art film. If it weren't for him, this film would indeed bring innovations to the film industry... It happened to be recommended by the Nantes Three Continents Film Festival.

Really think he can be selected casually?
That's the Cannes Film Festival! "

Although Cannes is not as conservative as later generations with unlimited participation and winning masters, it cannot stand the emergence of masters in the 80s.In particular, I really like supporting direct-line directors.Later generations do not know how many directors have become popular.

Among the three major film festivals in later generations, the one with the best commercial promotion and the greatest influence is Cannes.It is even called a "film auction house" by filmmakers around the world.

Every film festival has a style preference. Generally speaking, Venice prefers literary avant-garde, Berlin prefers political metaphors, Cannes... biases, Cannes prefers humanity and cool.

Of course, some people call the three major film festivals of Venice, Cannes, and Berlin as avant-garde tea parties, gimmick auction houses, and political correctional institutions.

That's right, the coquettish slut in Cannes is the movie courtesan who embraces Europe, embraces Asia and teases the Americas.

Since Jill Jacobs served as the general manager of the Cannes draft, Cannes has abandoned its former enemies and later partners Berlin and Venice.

Every time, Venice would look helplessly at the stars shining on the red carpet in Cannes, and the three baskets of rotten vegetables in front of her house.

Whenever night comes, loneliness always...

At this time, looking at the more anxious Berlin next door, Venetian feels refreshed for a while.

"Although it is not the main competition unit, it is still necessary for you, Azu, to participate in the Cannes Film Festival. After all, a special attention is also a great honor.

Moreover, the film festival is not a one-off event.It is a good thing to have such an opportunity to get acquainted. "

Li Hanxiang looked towards Wu Xiaozu, and said tactfully, "Since the Cannes promotion system was changed to the selection system, it can be predicted that the influence of Cannes is growing. It has begun to cultivate a lot of direct filmmakers.

Moreover, a special concern itself is the out-of-competition unit called by Mr. Jill Jacobs.

He is now the director of film selection, and if you can be selected, it is obvious that the other party values ​​this film and you as a director.

The circle of Hong Kong Island is too small, the vision is too short-sighted, but there are many dirty things..."

Speaking of this, he sighed a bit, and suddenly looked at Wu Xiaozu, "Azu, your film company is doing well, why don't you invite me to make a movie?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Wu Xiaozu choked and coughed, "Uncle Xiang, your direct disciple has just been released by Wanwan."

"What? The return of Hong Kong Island is a certainty..."

Li Hanxiang raised his brows with a straight face, but his voice became lower and lower, and he waved his hands helplessly, "Forget it, I also know that you need to eat. Although the Wanwan authorities are stupid, they are stupid and have a lot of money, big breasts, and big breasts. Making a movie is inseparable from coaxing the money in their pockets..."

Wang Zuzhuan took a gouging look at the old rascal Li Hanxiang, his eyes looked at his nose and mouth, his mouth looked at his chest... forehead... his mouth looked at his feet.

After all, Wanwan is her home, so it's not good to belittle her too much.

As international relations become more and more clear, Wanwan, the little killer, has also stabilized a lot.Unlike the past few years, Yan Hao’s masterpiece of filming career, the poetic prose film "The Years of the Water", because the filming location was in the mainland, and the mainland actor Mrs. Siqin was used at the same time, so the artist Zhang Shuping had to use the pseudonym Zhang Shuping.

At this point, the funniest scene of the Academy Award appeared, Zhang Shuping accepted the award for Zhang Shuping.

"Sister Jiahua, since that's the case, please help me arrange the itinerary, and I'm sure I won't be able to go to Cannes." Wu Xiaozu really wanted to go to Cannes.

If this is not done well, it will be exported to domestic sales.

In later generations, countless female stars have devoted themselves to foreign films to improve their standards, even if they are soy sauce.

No matter how hard or tired they were helpless, they persevered.When something happens, fans feel distressed, and they will also wave their hands generously: It doesn't matter!

Look, there are still model workers in our film and television industry!
Do not worry about it!

What a simple sentence!This is true both at home and abroad.

They don't forget their original intentions, so they will always be there!In the end, they all became first-line actresses in one step.

"No problem." Jiang Jiahua nodded.

Wu Xiaozu's promotion can also bring huge advantages to the company.

……

The viewing room inside New Art City.

The bald man Mecca, Wu Xiaozu and Jiang Zhiqiang sat next to each other.There are still a few people sitting scattered behind, including editors, dubbing and other post-production professionals.

On the screen, what was shown was "Twin Heroes" after rough cutting, fine cutting, and comprehensive cutting.

At this moment, titles, subtitles, soundtrack recording, and color grading are not yet finished.This version of "Twin Heroes" is the fourth version they edited.The duration of the movie is controlled within 110 minutes.

At the end of the movie, Mecca first looked at Wu Xiaozu.

"The light in the film, especially the moment when the two confront each other, is a bit too monotonous. I need the film to be darker in color, but with a sense of layering."

Wu Xiaozu pondered for a moment, then looked at Mecca, "Mai sir, the film time is nearly 110 minutes, so naturally it does not have an advantage over other films.

But this duration has been reduced to the minimum, and if it is lower, it will affect the movie effect.So let's see if you can extend the screening period and increase the number of screens? "

On Hong Kong Island in the 80s, very few movies were longer than 90 minutes, and even 70-80 minutes abounded.

Especially following the trend, every movie is rushing to make money.If the screening time is shortened, the number of screenings will naturally increase accordingly, and the box office will also increase a lot.

Even in later generations, this situation abounds.

For this kind of thing, Wu Xiaozu can only strive to extend the screening cycle and the number of screens.

"I'm afraid it won't be easy." Mecca shook her head, "The film will be released in summer, and the competition for the film is fierce. Unless..."

"I have confidence!" Wu Xiaozu said with a smile.
