Chapter 958 "Seven Sins"'s reputation exploded, master of black horror
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
Palais des Festivals, Debussy Hall.

The screen went black and the surrounding lights gradually came on.

The final subtitles of "Seven Sins" slowly fell from top to bottom. This strange subtitle method made many hardcore movie fans staring at the screen feel very strange.The normal subtitles are from the bottom to the top, but "Seven Sins" chose to do the opposite, which seems quite compelling.

This 'strange' subtitle method of killing obsessive-compulsive disorder was also used by film master Bernardo Bertolucci in "Dream of Paris" in later generations.

Yes, the chairman of the jury for this year's Cannes Awards is the great Italian director.

Three days have passed since the premiere.

"Seven Sins" has gained huge controversy and popularity among the fans and the media at the Cannes Film Festival. Under the strong request of the fans, Cannes had to discuss with Wu Xiaozu to add one every day to meet the expectations of more people.

In Cannes, "Seven Sins" can be described as a burst of word-of-mouth! ! !

Many authoritative film media have given their own evaluations of this film.

"Daily Screen" directly claimed in the magazine: "It (referring to "Seven Sins") is locked in the top ten films of 1990!"

At the same time, France's most authoritative and serious academic journal "Cinema Handbook" also analyzed professional academic articles such as "New Film Language Changes Brought by Oriental Color and Space" in its latest article.

The British "Empire" reported directly: "John woo-the future master of black horror!"

This drama has brought great popularity and influence to Wu Xiaozu, and because of this, "Seven Sins" has attracted more and more people's attention.Back then, this play was David Fincher's famous work, which allowed him to establish his position in the industry with this play. Now, Wu Xiaozu enjoys such an honor.

Of course, the impact of this kind of influence is only superficial. Before the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival, this kind of duckweed-like fame does not mean anything...

Dozens of hundreds of paparazzi were waiting outside the Martinez Hotel.This hotel is also the hotel designated by the film festival, so it is favored by many stars.

Next to the open-air swimming pool on the top floor of the hotel, a camera team is taking pictures of several handsome men.

"L'Oreal is cooperating with us in the Asian region. Originally, only Lin Qingxia and her elder brother under the company received endorsement contracts for designated products in the Greater China region, but the premise is that the business department received a new fax, and they intend to invite Ah Wei to be a brand friend... "Li Shufen reported with a rigid expression.

Wu Xiaozu folded his legs, leaned on the chair, and glanced at the 'F4' in various concave shapes.

The warrior who slays the dragon eventually becomes a dragon, staring at the abyss for too long, the abyss stares back.Unexpectedly, my own company also began to cultivate this kind of non-nutritive "little fresh meat".

Hey.

Wu Xiaozu glanced at the title of 'Master of Black Thriller' specially marked with a red pen on "Empire".

"I am actively working with F4 as the promoter of hair color and hair care products under the sub-brand of L'Oreal Paris, and will appear in their MV. At the same time, I also want F4 to help with guest appearances in "Flash Girl" directed by Zhang Aijia. In the second half of the year, I plan to release their first EP..."

Shufen didn't know what the big boss was saying, so she continued: "Although they haven't officially debuted yet, I have already helped them win several brands through platforms and endorsements, and it is estimated that they can create a profit of 1200 million this year. If the plan goes well, tomorrow They will catch up with the girl group..."

Uh?
Don't tell me, this small fresh meat is actually quite pleasing to the eye.This is like killing people with weapons, so can you scold those who buy weapons? ?

I am just a porter of 'traffic'.

Besides... this is the most contribution to Chinese pop, the idol itself is a particularly important part of cultural output.

"I'll let them take a promotional photo for "Seven Sins" soon." Wu Xiaozu smiled with the same heart, and glanced at Jin Chengwu, Zhong Hanlan, Feng Delun and Liu Hawick, and felt that it seemed to be quite pleasing to the eye.

If the men's team can make money, then there is nothing to say.

"L'Oreal..."

Wu Xiaozu lightly repeated this brand. This time "Seven Sins" is in Cannes, this brand has also contributed a lot because it is a sponsor of Cannes.

By the swimming pool, F4 was selling meat with fear and limbs stiff, not daring to breathe for fear of being noticed by the big boss.

That's Wu Xiaozu! ! !
Look at this damn seniority and status.

"Boss..." Li Shufen hesitated to speak.

"Let's just say it." Wu Xiaozu is quite satisfied with this conscientious ex-secretary. Although he is a man-made human, his ability is absolutely needless to say. At least Star Entertainment now has a very straight butt. Ye Zhiming and Mrs. Chen understand themselves very well. I don't know how much better than before.

"I want the four of them to walk the closing red carpet together..."

Uh?
Wu Xiaozu glanced in astonishment at this woman who is now called 'Sister AB' in Star Entertainment.This kind of rubbing the red carpet is self-taught.

"Yes." Wu Xiaozu nodded slightly.

Isn't it just rubbing the red carpet?
European and American wild models can rub, why can't we? ?There is no Internet these days, and I will promote it later - Stellar Entertainment can make its own artists who have not debuted on the red carpet in Cannes, this style...

"When the time comes, you will follow the crew of "Wild Heart"." Wu Xiaozu pointed out.

Since you want to rub, you must find a good target.

Besides, Wu Xiaozu is used to being a whore and setting up archways, although he agrees to rub, but he can't rub against him... Several beautiful men surround him... Just thinking about it makes me sick.

After dealing with Li Shufen's matter here, the other party took the initiative to take the four little milk dogs to Cannes Beach to continue filming.

This time she brought three camera teams from Hong Kong Island. In addition to F4, she also helped the main creators of "Seven Sins" take pictures, and the last one was specially used by Boss Wu.

"Marin please."

As soon as Sister AB left, she saw Jiang Ershao, who was wearing a polo shirt with a polo shirt with his collar up, smiling and walking over with two or three ghosts.

"Oh, dear Wu."

As soon as the visitor saw Wu Xiaozu, he couldn't help but open his arms and greet him warmly.

"Marin, it's really nice to meet you."

Wu Xiaozu also stood up politely, and greeted with a close face, "Thank you for your help these days, otherwise the promotion of "Seven Sins" would not be so smooth."

"Isn't this what I should do? We are friends—" Marin Kamiz, the boss of MK2, the largest producer and distributor of literary films in France, said enthusiastically.

"Of course." Wu Xiaozu nodded with a smile.

During this period, "Seven Sins" was promoted in French and some European media. In addition to their inherent connections, MK2 also made great efforts.The other party is also a long-term partner of [-].

In the European film industry, Wu Xiaozu has a wide network of contacts.

France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Germany all have strong personal connections... and have also formed deep friendships with the directors of the three major film festivals.He is a director of the younger generation in Europe, and he has also met many people.

Even recently, because of Sophie Marceau's matchmaking, she became a good brother-in-law with Polish director Andre Zulaski. The other party held a party two days ago and took the initiative to introduce some filmmakers from Eastern Europe to him.

Speaking of which, apart from Asia, Wu Xiaozu himself is considered an old prostitute in the European film industry... Bah... an old acquaintance!

what is this?
That's seniority!
You said, those Asian movies can escape Wu Xiaozu's palm in the future?

He is the biggest distributor of Asian films in Europe...ahem...helper and matchmaker.It's like a second-hand car dealer, the kind that your father can sew for 2000 yuan when he comes to buy a car!

Of course, although he is an old brother-in-law in the European film industry, he is still a newcomer in North American film.

Once, the three brothers Zhou Shuren, Lu Xun and Zhou Xun all said: The first soldier to rush in must have blood on his head when he comes out!

The deeper his foundation is, the more courageous he will be in North America, and he will always let North America see the power of the Asian Dongfeng.

The main reason for the arrival of MK2, Malin Kameez, is to discuss cooperation. This time, the two sides also negotiated a lot of movies, including "Days of Being Wild".

"I read the story about Oriental martial arts that you gave me, and I think it is very good. I also watched "Days of Being Wild", and I really like this director named Wang Jiawei, he is great." Marin Kamiz praised Wang Jiawei very excitedly.

"I'll take your compliments with me."

Wu Xiaozu nodded with a smile, "Sir Jiang, I remember that his new film investment is not yet full, right? Mr. Jacob intends to use the Cannes Film Fund to invest, and you can hand it over."

Um? ?

Not enough investment? ?
Didn't you step on that "Evil in the East and Poison in the West" several times?After all—everyone knows that the so-called script is nothing to Wang Jiawei.

Why does Wang Jiawei use scripts when making movies?

Are you fooling around?
and many more……

Looking at the ghost in front of him, Jiang Zhiqiang regained his spirits instantly.

Isn't this really a ghost.

"The amount of investment in this film is very tight now. As you know, he is the director that the company will focus on training in the next stage, and he is also one of your successors... So, I plan to support him in the second half of the year..." Jiang Er Shao insisted With a stable aura, he caught the hole thrown by Wu Xiaozu very steadily, and dug a few meters deeper by himself, and sent it to the feet of the ghost in front of him.

"Jiang...please give MK2 a chance. You also know that although Wu himself has a certain network in the European film industry, if a newcomer wants to develop and needs more people's help, I can help him run the European film industry. The film festival next door..." Malin Kameez said hastily.

Others need to think about this kind of pitfall, but for MK2, which has been operating literary films all year round, and even invests in and distributes Godard's films, Wang Jiawei is clearly a treasure, and he may be the next Wu Xiaozu.

You have to know that before "Seven Sins", the cooperation between MK2 and 2 made it a lot of profits. It can be expected that once "Seven Sins" can win important awards, then this movie The movie will have a chance to be the most successful movie of their MK[-].

He had seen Days of Being Wild.

This tone is too in line with the character of the French.

From this film, he believes that this new director named Wang Jiawei has the potential of a film master.

"This..." Jiang Zhiqiang hesitated.

"Jiang sir, Marin is our old friend." Wu Xiaozu earnestly persuaded, "See if you can set aside part of the quota for MK2."

"Okay..." Jiang Zhiqiang held back for a long time, and said in a tangled manner: "For Marin's sake, I will go back and communicate with various investors."

"Thank you—" Malin Kameez raised the champagne with a smile.

"We should do it." Wu Xiaozu kept smiling.

Cannes Film Fund + MK2 Film Company, this kind of gimmick of foreign investment is enough to make those local turtles in Wanwan and Hong Kong Island worship foreign countries...

Wang Jiawei himself may not know that the "Evil, West Poison" he secretly wanted to prepare would be so popular...

Originally, he was planning to direct TV dramas in the second half of the year.
