I really can't act

Chapter 379 Cannes Film Festival

After returning from the hospital, Fang Yi had to take his first trip to Cannes seriously.

"Return to 17" has received a lot of attention in Cannes, and the filmmakers are more optimistic about the sales of this film in overseas regions. After the first two "Love Is After Life" and especially "Love Letter", Hugo has already been in the world film industry. The circle has a certain reputation.

Among them, his age is of course also a big bonus. This is a young director on the rise, with strong creative power. At least one film is made every year. He is enough to enter the world's movie halls and be examined by more people. talent.

Film is one of the eight major arts, and the art world is inherently more in pursuit of "genius", and the art world does not believe in "hard work to become a talent".Take the movie industry as an example. The most complicated and most demanding ones are directors. Generally, they don’t start until they are around 30 years old, but talented directors don’t need to pay attention to worldly rules.

For example, film director Orson Welles was only 26 years old when he filmed his masterpiece "Citizen Kane".

Zhang Yimou was 36 years old when he won the best actor with "Old Well", but you have to consider that he worked as a worker in a steel factory for 8 years. During this period, it was difficult for him to learn film techniques independently with his financial resources.

The current Cannes Film Festival has started on May 5 and will end on May 11.From the day of the opening ceremony, one after another, Chinese filmmakers went to sell their films. On the 23th is Fan Meiren, on the 11th is Chen Kexin's "Martial Arts" crew, and on the 12th Li Bingbing came to the scene and announced the truth of "I'm here for business".

It's a pity that another French actress wore restricted-grade clothes that could directly go to the film and television set of Woodpecker that day, and took away all the limelight from Li Bingbing.

On the 14th, there will be the blockbuster "Flying Swords of the Dragon Gate" at the end of the year, which was produced by Bernard.Bona's boss, Yu Dong, likes the beach very much. Almost every year he finds an excuse to go to the beach for vacation.

This time was no exception. The entire Bernard Company executives parachuted to Cannes Beach, where they spent huge sums of money to organize a Chinese cultural festival.

On the 15th, Fang Yi's two senior sisters, Tang Wei and Yuan Li, came to the scene, and on the 16th, Li Xiaoran became Li Xiaoran. This made the Chinese stars of this year's Cannes Film Festival have a clear trend of yin and yang decline.

Sister Zhen complained to Fang Yi: "The youngsters in the mainland can't help themselves, they are all acting in TV dramas, and there is not even a step in the starring movie that can be sold...My above remarks don't include you, you are their fig leaf."

"It is because of you that the media did not realize the problem."

Fang Yi: "What do you mean?"

Sister Zhen said: "It means that when the golden generation is selected, you will be included, saying that young filmmakers have risen, and you will be honored; when it comes to young filmmakers, you will be excluded again, saying that You should be put in the circle of those old monsters, you are an exception."

Fang Yi was also very helpless about this.

Although Chen Kun and Fang Yi successively broke the stereotype that the mainland niche cannot carry the box office, it still takes time for a moving train to stop or even reverse its direction.

It is just that there is no new niche recognized by the market.

Fang Yiheng inserted it, just like the salted fish Liu Heng inserted it a few years ago. In the situation where he was alone, he was obviously young, but for some reason, the media didn't regard him as a "little student" ".

For example, in the selection of the "Four Great Students" in "Southern Zhou" in 11, Director Fang ranked first, but he seemed to be inferior to the other three and thirty combined. Netizens questioned the meaning of the "Big Four", why bother Make up the "big four".

Guo Xiaosan, a writer in Shanghai, was very angry and sent out several scarves:

"In the dark valley, re-polish the flickering light. Those secluded secret jungles are covered with layers of fallen leaves for thousands of years. The pearls that stream under the fallen leaves are your eyes that were blinded many years ago."

This means that the selection list is blind.

"Some children on the road began to celebrate their success in the selection. They put on clothes that they didn't dare to wear normally, dyed their hair, and the youthful publicity filled the whole street. The time was so happy, but so cruel."

This means to satirize the other three young students pretending to be adults and rubbing the list.

However, the "four big and small students" who are selected every year, should they kick out Director Fang? If there is no Director Fang, they will receive much more scolding than now.

The day before his departure, Fang Yi met Zheng Qiudong in his office.

Zheng Qiudong came to report, and then Zheng Qiudong——now he should be called Manager Zheng, and Manager Zheng would help Fang Yi deal with his personal financial problems.

Because Xiao Zheng has been a [-]-year-old boy, even though his talent is in the financial market, he has to start with small things, which can be regarded as his probationary period.

Fang Yi's most urgent task is to change to a new nest.

"Buy a suite or a villa. It doesn't matter if the value goes up or not. There is only one. I don't want to see paparazzi anymore."

Fang Yi said to Zheng Qiudong.

Zheng Qiudong responded: "I will find it as soon as possible... But your needs are too broad, so I may disturb you many times in the future."

"it does not matter."

Under the fluorescent light, Zheng Qiudong's appearance was clearly displayed in front of Fang Yi. He was not on a golf course or a Michelin restaurant.

Zheng Qiudong looks a lot like a friend of Fang Yi's.

Fang Yi: "You look a lot like Hu Ge."

Zheng Qiudong showed no expression, "Since I started working, people have been telling me that."

Sister Zhen teased: "It's far worse than Hu Ge, what does Hu Ge look like, he..."

Zheng Qiudong was not even angry, and nodded slightly.

As expected of a talent from Shang Hai, he doesn't seem to care at all.

Sister Zhen got even more angry. She gave Zheng Qiudong eye drops after Zheng Qiudong left:

"He doesn't get angry like this. He is too scheming. We can't trust him too much."

Fang Yi didn't care: "If you tell a handsome guy that he's not good looking, he won't be angry, because he knows you're talking nonsense."

"Boss Fang, my point is whether to be angry or not, the point is whether to believe it or not."

"We can't put a presumption of guilt on people."

Zhen Jie could only take a few deep breaths, "I see."

Her job is to help Fang Yi negotiate the "Rolex" spokesperson contract. If possible, help Liu Tianxian develop it, at least let Xianyu Liu have a chance to be with him.

These business activities are indeed not something Liu's mother can handle.

Rolex's positioning is more inclined to men's watches, and it does not like to find a female spokesperson, but it does not mean that it cannot find a female image ambassador.

"Do you really want to terminate the contract with Tissot?"

The real sister's tone is very complicated. "At the beginning, it was because of taking the international chapter by mistake and hyping Liu Yifei... But with your current achievements, they can't make mistakes again. If we use this to ask for prices, ask for shares, and customize personal product lines... All requirements will be satisfied, right? .”

Fang Yi refused: "When I was filming a Burberry commercial, I chatted with the executives here one day, and they said clearly that they hoped that I would stop matching mismatched watches, which would destroy the overall style."

Zhenjie's logic became self-consistent in an instant: "Is this the reason? No wonder!"

"No! In fact, it was because of the hype for no reason. Some people have no choice, some people have a choice, and I have a choice."

The real sister is thoughtful.

On the 20th, the crew of "Returning to 17" arrived in Cannes, France, and started a three-day sales tour. Fang Yi once again played the best salesman as a guest.

It is not only to build momentum for his own new film, but also to promote his sideline business.
