Chapter 314 After getting the Palme d'Or

"Director Fang, congratulations!"

"félicitations!"

"Nanfang, congratulations!"

"Director Fang, you deserve it!"

Everyone who was so excited by the "Parasite" crew let go.

Fang Nan was very emotional and hugged the crew of "A Night Intoxicated by the Spring Breeze" when he got up to express his congratulations, followed by Taiwan's Cai Mingliang's "Face" team, and Hong Kong To Qifeng's "Revenge" team.

"surprise!"

Quentin also stood up, as well as Christoph Waltz, who had just won Best Actor.

Fang Nan didn't know how many people he hugged.

Amid tidal applause and thousands of pairs of eyes watching him, as he walked forward, people in the aisle stood up and opened their hands or hugged him.

At this moment, he is the most shining person in Cannes!

Comes with a dazzling aura!
"félicitations!"

After the chairman of the judging committee Yu Peier gave Fang Nan an intimate gift, he presented the highest award in Cannes, the golden palm branch trophy, to Fang Nan.

"Thank you!"

Fang Nan stretched out his hands, took it solemnly and steadily, and then stood in front of the microphone at Yupper's invitation.

"Thank you to the "Parasite" team, Park Chan-wook, Lee Jin-hyo, Song Kang-ho, Jo Ru-jin, Liu Qianqian, Lim Yoon-ah, Han Ga-in, Lee Joon-ki, Han Hyo-joo and all the actors and staff behind the scenes of "Parasite", you are the best partners!"

"Thanks to my family and lovers, I am a willful filmmaker, being my family member and being my company, you are destined to endure more loneliness and lack of more care than ordinary people!"

"In the end, the power of the movie captured the heart of a child from a small town in southern China, and gave him a dream. This dream is still going on! Until the moment the heart stops beating!"

"Thank you!"

He's a pure, film-loving filmmaker!
While more than 2000 filmmakers in the audience judged Fang Nan in this way, they couldn't help showing great respect to the young director.

They stood up at the same time, and spread the thunderous applause to every corner of the big venue, which lasted for a long time!
His eyes followed the tall and straight figure all the way into the background.

Backstage.

Fang Nan alone accepted interviews from media from many countries around the world.

To Canadian reporters:
I don't consider myself a master of structural film, I just like this way of shooting.

In the 60s, the famous structural film "Wavelength" shot by the Canadian artist Max Snow did have a great influence on my director career.

To the French reporter:
There are many people who need to share the joy, girlfriends, friends, family, but let's share it with the "Parasite" team first tonight.

Facing the Japanese reporter:
Song Kang Ho's performance in "Parasite" is impeccable, he is one of the best male actors in Korea.

Director Akira Kurosawa is a Japanese director whom I respect and like very much.

The Japanese book I read recently should be "Norwegian Forest" by Haruki Murakami that my girlfriend put on the bedside.

If there is a chance, I will definitely cooperate with Japanese directors and actors.

Honami Suzuki's performance in "Tokyo Love Story" left a deep impression on me.

Indian media:

"Plagiarism?
Sorry, I haven't seen this Indian movie called "Minsara Kanna", so there is no plagiarism.

If there is plagiarism, the Indian judges of this year's Cannes Film Festival will definitely point it out in time.

Italian media, Korean media:
Parasite should hit European theaters soon.

I don't know when it will land in Korea.

You have to ask CJ Entertainment in your country.

CJ Entertainment is the first producer and producer of "Parasite", and also the Korean distributor of "Parasite".

There is no love affair, Ms. Han Xiaozhou and I are very good partners, and we will definitely cooperate again.

I may not participate in the South Korean promotion. I still have a lot of things to deal with in China.

Domestic media [Xiangjiang, Taiwan]:
There are still a few jobs in the follow-up, such as participating in film forums or something.

But I should return to China soon. I have to do "The Wind" in the later stage, and I have to promote "Assassination of Novelists" and maybe "Parasite". I don't want to go back.

I'm really busy, but I can't help it, the three movies are gathered together.

I really don't know if "Parasite" will land in Xiangjiang.

Since the opening of Cannes, I have been participating in various film forums, but I have not participated in selling films. I will ask if the copyright of Xiangjiang has been sold later.

The Taiwan copyright seems to have been sold, but it is not clear when it will be available in theaters.

Golden Statue Award, Golden Horse Award?

I won’t join in the fun at the Golden Statue Awards. If I have time, I should attend the Golden Horse Awards. Let’s wait for the Taiwan distribution company to arrange.

It is indeed a pity that "Face" directed by Tsai Ming-liang and "Revenge" directed by To Qifeng did not win awards.

I have watched both films, and they are of high quality. It can only be said that I lacked a little bit of luck not to win an award.

Media from Denmark, Turkey, UK, Germany and other European countries:

The tour of "Parasite" is naturally not over yet, and the British Film Festival, Cartagena International Film Festival, and Sydney Film Festival will all participate.

After winning the award at the 57th Berlin Film Festival, international filmmakers have been sending me invitations.

But my own schedule is too full, so I don't have more energy to cooperate with European filmmakers, and I hope to have the opportunity in the future.

Not a genius!
Although I won the Golden Bear and Palme d'Or honors at the age of 30, it doesn't mean I'm a movie genius.

I also don't like the title of genius. This title conceals the countless hard work and sweat behind the success!
After answering the questions under the dazzling spotlight, Fang Nan was just about to return to the venue when a local French reporter told him that the French Ministry of Culture and Communication had just published an official document that would award him the French Order of Letters and Arts in recognition of his contributions to literature and art .

Fang Nan had no choice but to stop and face the camera to thank him.

The French Order of Letters and Arts sounds lofty, but there are also many literary and artistic workers who have won it.

He knew that the Chinese filmmakers who had been awarded this honor included Lao Mouzi, Li An, Cheng Long, and Chief Jia.

Countless films of reporters were wasted again, and the awards ceremony of the 62nd Film Festival is over.

Surrounded by reporters, Fang Nan stood together with the "Parasite" team, award-winning film team, and judges for a group photo, and then another interview.

Afterwards, there were single interviews, double interviews, three-person group photos, and single-person group photos.

They were busy until it was completely dark, and then a group of them hurried to their respective residences, changed their clothes and attended the hotel they had booked in advance.

As the big winner of the 62nd Cannes Film Festival, "Parasite" is also the first three European awards that South Korea nominally won. The party held by CJ Entertainment is also first-class luxury.

There are more than 1000 international film producers, judges, French national politicians, celebrities, staff of the Korean embassy in France, filmmakers, relatives and friends.

There were too many people, so Fang Nan became subconsciously reserved. Some people toasted and tasted it.

"Hi, Fang, I'm Weinstein, you should have heard my name, are you interested in going to Hollywood?"

After standing for too long, Fang Nan was about to find a place to sit and rest for a while, when Weinstein walked over with a big belly and a goblet, accompanied by a beautiful blonde girl.

Fang Nan asked him, "Do you want to cooperate?"

Weinstein vowed: "Of course, you are the most popular director in all European studios now, how about it, come to Hollywood, I can put you on the Oscars podium."

"I happen to have a project in my hand. If you are interested, let's sit down and chat."

Wayne showed a childish expression: "Don't sit down, just talk now."

"It's a sci-fi film about Chinese astronauts saving the earth. I only need $1 million for the production."

"Pfft. Did I hear correctly, Chinese astronauts save the earth? Science fiction film? 1 million dollars? Are you out of your mind, or are you trying to play me like a monkey? Can this crap movie make money?"

Fang Nan glanced at the red-faced Wayne, "Then don't brag about cooperating."

"you!"

Harvey Weinstein was angrily waiting to speak, but Fang Nan ignored him and left.

He is not stupid, he knows exactly what the fat man Harvey is thinking.

They just want to take advantage of his current fame and trick him into making independent movies in Hollywood to make a quick buck. Oscars and Hollywood are all nonsense and bait!
It is to treat Fang Nan as a joker.

He couldn't resist the temptation to take the bait, and Harvey would definitely suck him dry and kick him away. This man is a well-known Hollywood villain and notorious.

Fang Nan did not hesitate to be with such people.

And it's not that he's bragging, if he shouts that he's short of money to make a literary film, the European film studios present can knock him out with money.

Just for this small meeting in the evening, several international film companies have already asked him to make custom films, and many brokerage companies want to sign him as a director.

The party lasted until the clock struck midnight before it slowly cleared up.

Fang Nan looked around and saw that there was nothing wrong with him, so he yawned and prepared to go back to his hotel.

After walking a few steps, the "Parasite" team chased him up and carried him to the beach, saying that they were preparing a seaside barbecue.

Bright as day, the sea spray blooms.

Fang Nan accompanied a group of people to drink, dance, laugh and take pictures. Seeing the dawn appearing in the sky, he returned to the hotel.

The next day.

He got up in the sound of Hu Wen's phone, ate something, and went to attend the awarding ceremony of the Knight of Culture and Art.

In the afternoon, after attending a movie forum, he asked about something serious.

"How is the copyright of "Parasite" sold?"

Li Jinxiao smiled brightly: "The sale is very good, the European copyright sold for 5200 million US dollars, which is the highest transaction volume of a film at this year's Cannes Film Festival."

"We are still actively communicating with Warner about the amount of copyright in North America. But no matter how much the final transaction amount is, the copyright fee of "Parasite" will exceed 1 million U.S. dollars."

$1 billion?
It is indeed a very scary figure. This figure is the most profitable movie that Fang Nan has ever made since his debut.

But considering that this is an annual Palme d'Or award-winning film, the price is not surprising.

What's more, "Parasite" is also very watchable.

Therefore, Fang Nan was not intimidated by the copyright fee of 1 million US dollars, but looked at Mao Jianguo curiously: "Warner wants to buy the North American copyright of "Parasite"? How are you going to operate this foreign language film outside of North America?"

"Oscars must be run, and you may live in Los Angeles for a while, and Warner will arrange for you to appear on some programs."

After getting the answer he wanted, Fang Nan nodded and said, "Call me in advance, and I will cooperate."

"Fang, are you interested in going to Hollywood? Warner Bros. is going to offer you an olive branch."

Fang Nan smiled: "I have the right to speak for the crew? Do I have the right to choose the theme of the movie?"

"Warner also has its own independent film company, so we still hope that you will be rooted in literary films."

"When you succeed again, the investment amount and the voice of the crew will increase relatively. This is the Hollywood rule. First of all, you have to prove your ability, and prove it again and again to determine the voice you can have and the amount of investment in the film. "

Fang Nan smiled noncommittally.

It is indeed a rare opportunity to enter Hollywood with the fame of the Palme d'Or.

But he doesn't want to give people, even if it's Warner's work, and he doesn't want to be looked down upon for some filming funds.

Therefore, it is better to wait two more years.

When the 13 Swordsmen are developing, they will use sci-fi films that are not weaker than Hollywood to force their way in.

He wants to stand up and earn money and fame!
Mao Jianguo was in a hurry.

The appearance of "Parasite" gave him the capital to transfer back to the headquarters.

But in a strange place, a place where open and secret fighting is extremely terrifying, he lacks a helper like Fang Nan.

He has been thinking for the past two days that the two of them will be able to gain a firm foothold by working together to produce two or three movies with a small investment and a big return.

I never thought that Fang Nan would miss such a good opportunity.

Mao Jianguo chattered endlessly, and Fang Nan listened with a big head, and immediately kicked him out, and then looked at Hu Wen: "How is the domestic public opinion?"

"Very turbulent, after all, it has been 16 years since "Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or."

"After 16, "Parasite" won the Palme d'Or again, but because the script failed to pass in China, it became a Korean film, a Korean film directed by director Hua Xia. How big of a public opinion do you think!"

"And the fact that the movie cannot be released in China has also been exposed."

Fang Nan asked again: "Then when do you think it would be better for me to return to China?"

Chu Peijun looked at Fang Nan expectantly: "Brother Nan, of course the sooner you go back the better, the public opinion against you is very positive, Mr. Cai also said that there are hundreds of domestic and foreign high-end and high-end brands wanting to speak for you! "

"I don't speak for others." Fang Nan frowned and shook his head.

He has not borrowed the so-called high-end clothing of a certain international brand from the brand owner so far.

The suits used to walk the red carpet and the suits worn to receive awards are luxury goods, but they are all clothes bought with their own money.

Clothes are not the latest styles, so you may be overdressed, but you can wear them with peace of mind.

When Hu Wen and Chu Yujun were relatively silent, Fang Nan asked again: "Has the public opinion in Korea paid attention?"

"The noise over there is even more fierce. The Seoul Metropolitan Government also announced today that it will allocate funds to renovate some semi-basement living environments. Each family can get about 6000 yuan."

"Afterwards, South Korean officials vigorously reported that "Parasite" won the Palme d'Or at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival, and public opinion was very positive. The vice president of CJ Entertainment immediately announced that he would actively promote "Parasite" to compete for the 2010nd Cannes Film Festival in 82. Oscar."

"Anyway, it's very lively over there now."

"Your word of mouth has also completely turned around, and you are about to become a Korean." At the end, Hu Wen joked.

"It can only be said that the creative environment over there is more free. Others in Korea may not be good, but Korean movies may shine in the future!" Fang Nan said and stood up: "Let's pack up and prepare to go back to China, by the way, Sissy Woolen cloth?"

Chu Peijun: "She went to Milan to watch shows and shoot magazines, and she will have to stay in Europe for a few more days before returning to China. Summer is coming, and the dresses of brand manufacturers are going to be on the market."

Fang Nan nodded and asked Hu Wen, Li Jinxiao and the others to say hello.

They are going back to China first, so the Toronto International Film Festival, the premiere of the New York Film Festival, and the messy awards ceremony can only be left to them.

By the way, divide part of it into punch cards earlier.
