Chapter 98 The Chairman's Favor

"Is "Moon" popular?" Chen Hao asked curiously.

"That's right, when "Moon" was screened for the first time, not even half of the seats were filled, and most of them were fans of Chinese, Chinese-language movies, and sci-fi movies.

But after everyone watched it, they liked it very much, and they all gave a standing ovation, and then it was full of people from the second day onwards, and this situation has continued for 4 days today. "Xu Shanzheng sighed.

Gao Yuanyuan on the side also looked at Chen Hao with beautiful eyes, and kept nodding in agreement.

Chen Hao nodded with a smile when he heard the words, "How did the media comment?"

"Ah?" Xu Shanzheng touched his bald head in embarrassment and said, "I can't understand foreign languages ​​either, so I don't know about that."

"I don't understand either." Gao Yuanyuan shook her head and said.

Chen Hao smiled when he saw this, "Will the movie be released today?"

"There is one more game today, and it will start in half an hour." Gao Yuanyuan said.

"Okay, then take me there first!" Chen Hao said.

Afterwards, Xu Shanzheng and Gao Yuanyuan took Chen Hao to the screening room of "Moon".

Before reaching the screening hall, noises were heard from afar.

"Look, there's a long queue again." Gao Yuanyuan said happily.

When Chen Hao heard the words, he saw that there were indeed people queuing up, and there were still 10 minutes before the release. It seemed that "Moon" was indeed very popular.

"Director Chen, hello!"

When Chen Hao heard someone speaking Chinese, he immediately turned around, and it turned out that it was Jia Zhangke.

"Director Jia, welcome to guide me." Chen Hao greeted him with a smile.

In the previous life, the two had represented China in Cannes, and this time it was the two of them again, so they were quite destined.

"I don't dare to be a director. The media has given "Moon" a very high evaluation these days, and I have come to study with me." Jia Zhangke said with a smile.

These words are purely polite. Jia Zhangke and Chen Hao are obviously not the same kind of directors. They have their own artistic pursuits, and they definitely won't make commercial films.

Jia Zhangke's films are undoubtedly literary films, and many of them are so-called underground films. Like many sixth-generation directors, they all went underground.

If Chen Hao remembers correctly, Jia Zhangke's film "Ren Xiaoyao", which was shortlisted in Cannes this time, was not able to be released in the mainland.

However, Jia Zhangke is also well-known in Europe and Asia. Selling film copyrights is enough to recoup his capital, and there are many people who want to make movies and invest in them.

The filming funds for this "Ren Xiaoyao" came from China, Japan, South Korea and France respectively, so they don't make commercial films and don't worry about funds.

The two are not the same kind of directors, but in a foreign country, it is still very cordial to see compatriots with yellow skin and black hair, so Jia Zhangke came to join him.

However, the two were not very familiar with each other, and they didn't have much in common. After a few polite words, Jia Zhangke brought his Wannian heroine into the cinema.

"Director Chen, I finally saw you in person!"

It's another sentence in Chinese, but the accent is a bit weird.

Chen Hao turned his head and saw that it was Miss Malaysia, Yang Ziqiong, a martial arts star, and everyone should be familiar with the "Royal Senior Sister" series.

The role of a Bond girl in "Tomorrow's Empire" established her position in the international film industry. Last year, she also achieved great success in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Li Yin. She is one of the rare Chinese movie stars with international reputation.

And she appeared in Cannes because she is one of the judges of this year's jury and the only judge of Chinese descent.

"Sister Yang, hello, hello!" Chen Hao greeted.

"I didn't expect Director Chen to be so young and handsome. If I hadn't seen your photo, I wouldn't dare to recognize you." Yang Ziqiong looked at Chen Hao and said.

"Sister Yang has won the award." Chen Hao said modestly.

"By the way, let me introduce you. This is David Lynch, a well-known American director and the chairman of the jury at this year's Cannes Film Festival." Yang Ziqiong introduced.

"Finally I see you, Chen!" David Lynch laughed, ""Moon" is so well shot, I like it very, very, very much."

"I'm very happy to hear you say that." Chen Hao looked at David Lynch who was a little excited and smiled.

This person has filmed "Mulan Hedo", won the best director in Cannes, the Venice Lifetime Achievement Award and the Saturn Award for Lifetime Career Award!

""Moon" can definitely be called "21: A Space Odyssey" in the 2001st century. He is like "Blade Runner" and "2001: A Space Odyssey". Science fiction movies like "Blade Runner" and "[-]: A Space Odyssey". Instead of modeling level, it focuses on showing the alienation of the relationship between man and machine under the influence of modern civilization.

The best and most classic sci-fi movies are like this, the coexistence of man and machine, humanity and program, and even the coexistence of flesh and blood and machinery. "David Lynch couldn't help but praise.

Chen Hao was a little embarrassed to hear such high praise, so he opened his mouth and started talking nonsense, "I was very interested in science fiction when I was studying. I read Stanley Kubrick's "2001 Space "Roaming" is shocking.

I was very fascinated by that movie, and then I secretly made up my mind to shoot a similar movie-the theme is also to explore the alienation of human nature by modern industrial civilization, and how tools gradually become the dominance of human beings of.

Of course, my film cannot be as grand and majestic as Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey". I just shot a low-cost science fiction film. "

"Even this is not easy. If "Moon" appeared 20 years earlier, it would have taken the world by storm, because at that time such science fiction movies were in the ascendant stage, but it was wrongly born in the 21st century." David Lynch regretted.

"For me, there is no saying that the film is not born at the right time. I always feel that as long as the film can be shot, the task will be completed. As for when it will be shot, it doesn't matter." Chen Hao shrugged.

"Okay, but being able to shoot such a sci-fi masterpiece is already very gratifying. The movie is about to start, let's watch it again!" David Lynch said.

"Please!" Chen Hao laughed.

Then the group entered the theater and watched "Moon" again.

As Xu Shanzheng said, when the movie ended, the audience was a little excited and applauded to express their love for the movie.

David Lynch once again declared his soft spot for "Moon".

"I will vote for you, I hope I can help you." Yang Ziqiong said to Chen Hao when he left.

"Moon" was well filmed, and was well received by the media. She is also Chinese, and she has little to do with films from other countries. However, Chen Hao may cooperate in the future, so she is naturally happy to leave a legacy.

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao immediately replied, "Then thank you, Sister Yang."

After seeing off everyone, Xu Shanzheng immediately came over and said, "Director Chen, will our movie win an award?"

Gao Yuanyuan also looked at Chen Hao expectantly from the side.

Chen Hao shook his head, "Although David Lynch and Yang Ziqiong support "Moon", there is no guarantee that "Moon" will win the award."

"But isn't David Lynch the chairman of the jury?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.

"The chairman of the jury can't speak his mind. In the end, we still have to vote, unless there is an equal number of votes, then the chairman's opinion can play a decisive role." Chen Hao said.
