Light and shadow player

Chapter 485 November

The box office of "Inner Beauty" was very good. Until April 4, when Cannes announced this year's shortlist, the total box office in 1 days reached 6 million.

This year is the big year of Cannes, and there are 21 excellent films in the main competition.

The results of Chinese films are also good. Cheng Yu’an’s "Old Father" (the name has not been changed for the sake of confidentiality) and Jia Kechang's "A Touch of Sin" were shortlisted for the main competition unit, and "Crossing the Boundary" directed by Hong Kong young director Liu Yunwen and starring Liu Jialing was shortlisted for a In the focus unit, "Blind Detective", directed by To Qifeng and starring Andy Lau, was shortlisted for the midnight screening unit.

It was the first time I saw Cheng Yu'an's name appear in the Cannes list.

As we all know, Cheng Yu'an is a direct descendant of Venice: the youngest best director winner, the youngest best film winner, and the youngest main competition unit judge.

The outside world said that Cheng Yu'an must have been a Venetian in his previous life.

But it is such a son of Venice who switched to Cannes this year.

"Alberto Barbara (President of the Venice Film Festival)'s de-Sinicization has finally had an effect. As the most loyal supporter of Venice, Cheng Yu'an will not put his films in Venice this year."

"The series of reforms after Alberto came to power made film artists dissatisfied. Cheng Yu'an has already won the best director and best film, and there is really no need to stay in Venice."

"The shortlist for Cannes was announced. Cheng Yu'an and Jia Kechang were both shortlisted for the main competition unit. This year is the big year of Cannes, and the competition is fierce. I look forward to Chinese-language films breaking out of the tight encirclement."

In response to the impact of Hollywood, the General Administration secretly released some directors and allowed them to make some slightly excessive films.

Otherwise, a film like "A Touch of Sin" would definitely fail the review.

Chief Jia finally saw the light of day again, but the submission of "A Touch of Sin" to Cannes was still against the rules.

But the biggest news in Cannes this year is not Cheng Yu'an and Jia Kechang, but Zhang Yimou.

Cannes announced that Zhang Yimou will bring his new films "Pain and Glory" and "Return" to Cannes for publicity!

Both films have not yet been completed, but the treatment Cannes gave Zhang Yimou is unprecedented.

Jacob wrote a personal letter welcoming him back to Cannes.

Since breaking up with Cannes in 99 because of "No One Less", Zhang Yimou only briefly reconciled with Cannes in 04 because of "House of Flying Daggers" (screened in Cannes), and has never set foot in this seaside town since then.

It should be said that Zhang Yimou can go to Cannes, which is the glory of Cannes.

Therefore, Zhang Yimou + Cheng Yu'an + Jia Kechang, this is almost the strongest lineup in the mainland film industry. The presence of these three people in Cannes has made domestic audiences full of expectations for this year's film festival.

I don't know how Alberto, who is far away in Venice, will feel when he sees the Chinese film industry send such a lineup to support Cannes.

When talking about the trip to Cannes in an interview, Cheng Yu'an said: ""Old Father" has not yet been finalized, and we will watch it when we come back from Cannes."

The reporter also understands that Cheng Yu'an wants to see if he can win an award, and if he wins, he can make more box office for this literary film.

Both "Warm and Containing Light" and "The Hunt" did not perform well enough at the domestic box office, and they could barely make it back.

"What was it like attending Cannes for the first time?"

"Look forward to it. After all, it is a palace for filmmakers, not only looking forward to winning awards, but also looking forward to communicating with outstanding filmmakers from all over the world."

Cheng Yu'an has been in the film festival for so many years, so it would be too childish to talk about being nervous.

The Hong Kong Island Film Awards also took advantage of the popularity of Cannes and announced that Cheng Yu'an will be this year's award presenter.

The dissatisfaction of mainland audiences with the Academy Awards has also reached a high level, so under the relevant reports, there are yin and yang:

"This year's Golden Statue Awards are worth watching. "Thieves" is facing off against "Chill", both of which are popcorn movies. "Thieves" beats "Chill" in terms of word-of-mouth and box office. I think this group of people are ashamed not to present an award to Cheng Yu'an .”

It is an indisputable fact that the Academy Awards are becoming more and more closed. Whether it is a professional filmmaker—even the former chairman Wen Jun thinks that the Awards are too stingy, or ordinary audiences, they are all dissatisfied with the practices of the Awards in recent years.

"The market on Hong Kong Island has shrunk too much. If they don't protect Hong Kong movies, then Hong Kong movies will really be washed away."

"As the highest honor of China Entertainment Films, the Academy Awards could not be inclusive of all rivers. Now it has been reduced to a local award. This group of people is still not introspective, and complacently holds it every year. The ratings of the Academy Awards are increasing year by year. The young age makes it more difficult to attract investment every year, and I think that in two years, no one except Hong Kong Islanders will watch the Hong Kong Film Awards."

"I was born on Hong Kong Island and work in the Mainland. Let me clarify that we don't watch the Hong Kong Film Awards either."

"Golden Rooster: You scold you again!" There are always strange comments mixed in.

There are happy events in the entertainment circle these days, Dong Bailian was photographed by Zhuo Wei kissing Wang Dazhi passionately in Haikou.

is a good thing!
Doesn't it make people start a new life after getting divorced?
But Wang Dazhi...

Lao Pan is a well-known jade-faced scholar and creamy niche, with good looks-otherwise the two would not have been called the golden boy and jade girl by the media when they got married.

As for his acting skills, as he got older in the past two years, Lao Pan also seeks to transform, and now his acting skills are gradually getting rid of the immaturity at the beginning and becoming more mature, otherwise Yuanyuan would not have given "Chinese Partner" to him.

If you get divorced and find someone who is better than your ex, no one will say much.

But this Wang Dazhi seems to be inferior to Lao Pan in everything, and the divorce lawsuit between the two has not yet finished, Pan Yueming is still working on the crew, and Dong Bailian is anxious to go out with the newcomer.

It's a bit of a loser.

Netizens not only questioned her aesthetics, but also blamed her: "Isn't it good to get together and get together? Have you ever thought about children when you are so troubled?"

Of course, the company chose to stand on Pan Yueming's side. It was not unexpected, but Lao Pan didn't want the company to interfere in his family affairs.

For this exposure, Lao Pan buried himself in the filming of the crew and did not make any response.

…………

There are several films on the market in early April.

The Hong Kong film "Drug Wars" will premiere on the 2nd, and two days later will be the costume blockbuster "The Loyal Yang Family General", which is a collaboration between Huayi and Yu Provincial Film and Television Group.

Yu Province Film and Television Group has developed rapidly in the past two years, and has a faint momentum to break into the forefront of the industry.

It is rumored that Hua Yi and Yu Province Film and Television Group collaborated on this drama and took over part of the publicity and distribution work, but they did not take an active role.

In the deserted schedule of March and April, Huayi has not seen large-scale advertising.

There are only sporadic advertisements in the base camp of Yu Province and Suicheng, and many viewers report that they can’t see the advertisements of "The Loyal Yang Family" in their localities, whether it is buses, buildings or theaters.

"The Loyal General of the Yang Family" has a fairly large audience.

This film has a good lineup, Zheng Shaoqiu + Zheng Yijian + Wu Zun + Fu Xinbo, it needs to have feelings and feelings, and it needs flow and flow.

Many people on the Internet are looking forward to this film.

But I didn't expect Hua Yi to handle it like this.

"It is said," Guo Fei shared the gossip he knew at the regular meeting, "Hua Yi is afraid that the rapid development of Yu Province Film and Television Group will affect him."

"Too stingy."

"He himself invested tens of millions, and just watched the money go in vain?"

"Who knows what they think."

"This is not what a leading company should do." Although Huayi has declined, it is still a giant that cannot be ignored in the film and television industry.

Guo Fei brought the topic back to the theme of the meeting. Today, he mainly talked about the publicity work of "To Youth" on April 4.
