Light and shadow player

Chapter 494 Premiere
Cheng Yu'an didn't like "A Touch of Sin", not because of the film's critical realism theme, but because of Chief Jia's directorial techniques.

"This movie was shot too fast, and many news events can't be used immediately. They need to be digested and polished." Cheng Yu'an didn't say this to the reporter, but said it in a private discussion.

"There is no beginning and no end. Those who don't know think it's a news clip."

But Cheng Yu'an knew that this film won the Best Screenplay Award in the end.

The West just likes to look at China.If you want to say whether Chief Jia made this film with the intention of flattering others, Cheng Yu'an dare not say no.

Jackie Chan's new film "The Jedi" will also be released in Cannes. The crew specially rented a luxury yacht to hold the event, and invited Cheng Yu'an and the crew of "Old Father" to attend the press conference.

Most of the guests arrived, Jackie Chan confessed to the media and guests after taking photos: "I'm going to come down to meet my queen."

It turned out that Fan Xiaopang, the heroine of "Exodus from the Jedi", had arrived, but she was late due to busy work.

Jackie Chan received Fan Xiaopang and asked her to greet the director, and then said with a smile: "We will make headlines if we hug on the flyover."

The chubby man in high heels immediately hugged his elder brother tightly, and the elder brother immediately smiled and said, "It was she who hugged me, not I who hugged her." Spreading his hands to show his innocence.

Afterwards, our heroine turned around and put her eldest brother's hand on her waist, causing a sensation in the audience.The eldest brother smiled and said, "She hugged me by force."

Tong Liya looked at the boat and made a tsk-tsk sound.

Cheng Yu'an whispered to her, "Why don't they get out of it."

Jackie Chan picked Fan Xiaopang aboard, and after answering a few questions from the reporters, he was free to move about.

Seeing Cheng Yu'an, Fan Xiaopang warmly greeted him: "Director Cheng, long time no see."

Cheng Yu'an shook hands with her, and said with a smile, "It's been a long time, what have you been filming recently?"

"Hey, let's be busy."

Cheng Yu'an joked: "Can you go to Canada in a hurry?"

Fan Xiaopang recently filmed "X-Men: Days of Future Past" in Montreal, Canada.

Fan Xiaopang was very helpful, and said with a smile: "Oh, I'll just help out with a supporting role. It's no match for Yifei, who has partnered with Nolan for the second time, and is the heroine again."

"Before I came to Cannes, I went to "Interstellar" to watch Yifei."

"Oh? How is she over there?"

"You don't care about your own girlfriend?"

"She doesn't want me to worry, and she doesn't tell me about the crew."

Fan Xiaopang smiled and said, "She's okay there. By the time I left, the exterior scenes were basically finished shooting, and they were transferred to the studio."

"It's fine, thank you for visiting Yifei."

"Damn, by the way."

At the press conference later, Cheng Yu'an also gave a lot of face. He closed his eyes and said without seeing the movie: "Brother Jackie Chan and Xiaopang, I think this should be the Chinese movie I am most looking forward to in the future."

After the "Jedi Escape" press conference, Cheng Yu'an took people back.

He's in a meeting with someone from a major film company right now.

"Jurassic World" has been confirmed to be restarted, and now it is making preliminary preparations and selecting actors.

The preparation cycle for this kind of special effects blockbuster is very long, and the earliest launch time given by the company is March next year.

"Okay, "Jurassic World" will be pushed like this first, is there anything else?"

Cheng Yu'an held the company's film list for this year in his hand. In order to spread the distribution channels in North America, Cheng Lingfeng really worked hard and started the movie frantically. Servi spent a little money, but the total cost was only $1500 million.

The British Gang has a close relationship with a big film company, and British investors are also willing to invest money. This year, the company is planning to make an Olympic film for its British friends, "The Theory of Everything".

If Cheng Yu'an knew that the British brought two cases to Cheng Lingfeng last month: one of Hawking and one of Turing, and Cheng Lingfeng finally chose to shoot Hawking because Hawking is more famous than Turing, I don't know what he would think.

The investment in Hawking's film was less than 2000 million.

Among the films currently confirmed by the company, the investment with the highest investment is actually a youth-oriented sci-fi film - "Maze Runner", which is only 3400 million US dollars.

This is the difficulty of Hollywood independent studios, who dare not make large investments.

One or two of the six big companies are okay, but the small factory will die immediately after losing one.

Seeing that everyone had nothing to say, Cheng Yu'an dismissed the meeting, but left his producer in the United States behind: "Sarah, please sit down for a while."

"Cheng, is there anything else?"

Cheng Yu'an pulled the chair over and said, "How is Crystal doing?"

"Very good, "Interstellar" likes her very much."

"I mean, have you noticed anything wrong with her? I always feel like she's hiding something from me."

Sarah rolled her eyes: "Cheng, you think too much, Crystal loves you so much, she won't do anything to be sorry for you."

"I'm not talking about that, I'm saying that she seems to have deliberately concealed her itinerary from me."

The more Cheng Yu'an thinks about it these days, the more wrong it is. Liu Yifei hasn't called him very much recently. The last time she called her to ask her why she didn't answer "Back to 20", she said that she didn't want to answer and wanted to spend more time with her.

After five years, Liu Yifei knew every time he lied.

Liu Yifei obviously didn't tell the truth, especially when she said that she had no play behind her, which was obviously insincere.

Liu Yifei has always been taken care of by Sarah in the United States, and she must know what happened, but Sarah told her: "Crystal is very good in the crew, she will come back after filming, don't worry too much."

Maybe it's my own overthinking, Cheng Yu'an has nothing to look for Sarah.

Sarah walked out of the conference room, returned to her room, and sent a message to Liu Yifei's mobile phone: "Cheng seems to have noticed something, our plan is about to be accelerated."

After a while, Liu Yifei replied with an ok gesture.

…………

Cannes on the 20th is the most lively.

There are many films to be announced on this day. In the morning, Keanu Reeves made his debut with his Chinese-American co-production blockbuster "Man of Tai Chi", and the Coen brothers landed in Cannes with "Drunken Country Ballad".

Johnnie To and Andy Lau's "Blind Detective" is also screened today.

But most importantly, Cheng Yu'an's "Old Father" premiered today!

Yang Mi specially flew to Cannes to help the film - "Super Body" ended in France.

Zhang Ziyi, Li An, Chief Jia's "A Touch of Sin" crew, Fan Xiaopang, Jackie Chan, Zhang Yuqi and other Chinese-speaking filmmakers in Cannes were all present to help.

Chinese and foreign media gathered together, and the red carpet of the press conference was star-studded. It was the most grand press conference of the film festival so far.

Cheng Yuan led Tong Liya and Jiang Wenli to welcome the guests at the gate of the movie palace.

"Welcome." Cheng Yu'an kissed Nicole Kidman, "You are so beautiful today. If there is a Best Dressed Award in Cannes or the Most Beautiful Red Carpet Award, I will definitely vote for you."

"Thank you, Cheng. Looking forward to your movie."

"You will definitely like it." Cheng Yu'an asked Nicole Kidman to go in.
