Chapter 279 Cannes
Cheng Yun's contract termination and hidden marriage incidents are still fermenting and exploding in China.

Xia Yu woke up.

glanced.

Aware that things are getting worse.

Tao Tang called me yesterday, but although Cheng Yun got through, he didn't intend to let Tao Tang take over, so he just thanked him.

Tao Tang expressed his kindness, but he didn't force it, he just said, "If you still need my help, just let me know."

French time AM·07:00.

Under the leadership of Zhuang He, more than a dozen NO.20 members of the two crews embarked on the journey to Cannes Town.

Cannes, also referred to as Cannes, is a leisure town in the south of France near the Mediterranean harbor.

It is also the headquarters of Camus and the venue of the Cannes International Film Festival in France.

Arrive at Cannes at nine.

A group of people first went to the hotel prepared in advance to put away their things and tidy up by the way.

The media interviewed Xia Yu in the afternoon, while Mr. Zhuang and Dai Chengbi arranged for tomorrow morning.

Mr. Zhuang's side is mainly foreign media, and Lao Dai's side is mainly domestic media, with a few foreign media.

Interviews are inevitable, and this is the best opportunity for free external publicity before the movie is released.

As for Director Xiao Xie, who registered together, because of his lack of international reputation, there was no media invitation to interview him.

Even though he is the director of the film "The Healing", which was shortlisted for the main competition, there are not many in China, let alone abroad.So what about being a member of Zhuang He's studio? Newcomers without works are treated like this.

And there are two more things.

One thing is that Dai Chengbi is still the director of the movie "The Healing", and it was before Xie Guanhui.

Xie Guanhui has no advantage in participating in several major film festivals for the sake of being a newcomer.

Especially in Cannes, let alone wanting to win the best director award, according to the title of the film, it may be difficult to even be nominated for the main competition.

Lao Dai has competed in the three major film festivals since nearly ten years ago, and has won the Berlin Film Festival Best Screenplay Award once - two or three best director nominations. If he really wants to win the award, his chances are at least 50.00% higher than that of Xie Guanhui!
And he is [-]% unlikely to win the award.

For Xie Guanhui, there is nothing unacceptable, the reality of the industry.

He persuaded Dai Chengbi in this way: "Old Dai, don't refuse. Although I have worked hard on this film, the hard work you have spent on the pre-production, mid-stage shooting, and post-production of the whole film is several times that of mine. Why are you obsessed with that? Shouldn't you be persistent? You were 'hired' to be the director of the movie "The Cure" back then, and most importantly, if you didn't sign it, we might have to change to another competition unit!"

For example, a unit of attention.

Why do you say this.

This is related to the second matter.

Just in April, before the Cannes organizer announced the shortlist, the "Sparrow" crew voluntarily withdrew the application.

why?
It is because director Jiang Changli has made a few films in China, but he is still a newcomer internationally.

Although this newcomer is very strong and won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, his influence is still not enough.

Competition in Cannes has always been fierce, not only for Chinese films, but a large number of excellent films from all over the world will flood into Cannes.

This is not comparable to the Berlin Film Festival.

The most important thing is that Cannes is different from other film festivals. When it selects competition units, it will give priority to the director's qualifications, as well as the worldwide reputation and status in the selection.

As far as Huaxia knows, there are two highly competitive movies, one is "Jinling Sacrifice" by Zhuang He, and the other is "Healing" by Dai Chengbi.

Not to mention Zhuang He, even Dai Chengbi is a frequent visitor to international film festivals, what competition does he have?
In general.

Within one session, for films of the same level, priority will be given to selecting directors with greater influence.

What's more, let alone "Jinling Sacrifice", he is not sure that it can beat Dai Chengbi's "Healing".

After all, Dai Chengbi was in the three major film festivals. He won the award and was nominated many times. This time, he joined hands with Xia Yu and Yu Junhao, the two best actresses and best actresses. He also teamed up with Zhao Jinhong, a top domestic screenwriter!

This means that even if he succeeds in the declaration, in the end, at most, he can be shortlisted for one attention unit.

The main competition unit.

Don't think too much about it.

Simply focus on the Venice Film Festival, as far as the subject matter is concerned, it is more appropriate.

This incident also caused a little disturbance, but it didn't affect this area too much!

……

After tidying up at the hotel, the two crews had their own arrangements, but the general meaning was similar.

After [-]:[-]pm, you can leave the red carpet of the opening ceremony. If you don’t like to leave, you can do whatever you want during the day. At [-]:[-]pm, you can go to the theater to watch this year’s Cannes opening ceremony film together.

"Close to Infinitely Warm Blue".

This film is regarded by Mr. Zhuang and Dai Chengbi as the biggest competitor of this Cannes Film Festival besides the two sides.

The director is the native French director Abu, who has been nominated many times at the two major film festivals in Cannes and Venice, and has also won another top award in France [Caesar Best Director Award].

Although the Caesar Award cannot compare to Cannes to some extent, its gold content is beyond doubt.

At the same time, the list of the jury for the Cannes Film Festival has already been released.

The lineup is strong.

The chairman of the jury is Spielberg, known as one of the world's greatest directors.

He is known as the "Movie Dream Weaver".

He has won the Best Director Award at the Beautiful Country Academy Awards twice.

At the same time, he is also a member of the Golden Lion Award for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Film Festival!
Directors in the world are ranked among the top five or even the top three, but Mr. Zhuang just broke into the top ten!
And the reason for mentioning the jury is mainly because there are acquaintances in the jury this time——

The remaining six members of the jury are also not easy. As for the so-called acquaintances, they are Gu Zhao, who won the Oscar for Best Director once!

He also temporarily put down the reading work of "Black Moon Project" and actively participated in it.

And in April, "Jinling Festival" and "Healing" were both selected for the main competition in Cannes, and Gu Zhao contacted Xia Yu.

Of course, it was not easy for the two to meet before the closing ceremony, so Gu Zhao made an appointment with Xia Yu and the others after the closing ceremony.

Back to topic.

The opening ceremony is different from the red carpet at the closing ceremony. The opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival is a little more "wild".

From a certain year onwards, there is no need to obtain an invitation letter by virtue of a work, but you can directly purchase and enter the venue by spending money.

commercial max.

This has led to the Cannes Film Festival becoming a mecca for online celebrities, especially Chinese Internet celebrities.

But at the same time, because of this system change, the influence of the Cannes Film Festival has also continued to expand.

The red carpet at the opening ceremony of the film festival, the old man and the seniors don't plan to go.

And when he arrived in Cannes, Mr. Zhuang definitely wanted to meet the founder of Camus.

Because Xia Yu had an interview in the afternoon, and the red carpet for the opening ceremony didn't end until the beginning of the evening, and the arrangement there was relatively late, so there was no rush to walk the red carpet.

At about ten o'clock, Xia Yu went out to clean up for a while, and then followed the old man to the Camus headquarters.

First of all, I met the founder of Camus, and thanked some people for their three-day global hard work.

The second is to try on the dress.

 Thank you [Anran-] for the monthly ticket~
