I really can't act

Chapter 384 It Must Be Let Me Come
After this sales promotion, Fang Yi returned to the hotel and still could not find peace:

Filmmakers in Cannes kept coming to visit him, inviting him to parties, building bridges for him, or letting others build bridges for him.

For example, Li Bingbing who formed a group of girlfriends to promote "Snow Flower and Secret Fan", or the international chapter of the movie "Favorite"... To be precise, it is the wife of "Favorite" film director Gu Changwei, Jiang Wenli.

Li Bingbing doesn't need to give face, she is nothing more than leading the so-called girlfriends group to see Fang Yi, the Tang monk meat, but the "Favorite" crew has to give face.Gu Changwei is from the Director Department of Beijing Film and Television. He is a classmate of the National Teacher and belongs to the Northwest Gang. It seems that he has nothing to do with Fang Yi; Fang Yi really couldn't shirk the slight relationship between senior and sister.

We still have to rely on the big tree of Central Opera.

Man is the sum of his social relations.

Besides, the producer is also a master, that is, Jiang Zhiqiang who once appeared on "China Screen".

Then we can only make an appointment to meet the next day.

"Speaking of which, when this film was filmed, I considered asking you to be the male lead..."

Han Sanping said so after drinking a little wine under the sea breeze under the starry sky in Cannes.

Fang Yi: "What type of movie?"

"Art films. Wasn't it still possible to sell blood in the 90s? Have you seen Yu Hua's "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood"? There was a big difference between the countryside and the city at that time, and the sanitation conditions in some places were relatively poor. Blood, you will get 'fever', to put it bluntly...that is AIDS."

Han Sanping added, "Besides, the path of this blood is not normal. It should be used for smuggling by blood dealers... I probably know the outline of the story, but I don't know the details. Anyway, I can't escape that set of adaptations." Yes, criticism... In short, this is what I’m talking about.”

Fang Yi was speechless: "This sounds not simple."

"Isn't it simple? It's art." He patted Fang Yi's shoulder and said meaningfully, "You have to take this kind of play well. You haven't acted like this yet. There will always be demand in the future, and there will always be demand for it." When someone comes to you, you have to take a good look at the book when the time comes, and you can't be impulsive... For the same thing, let some people let it go gently, keep silent, and give it to others, "

He paused, "Then it will be a toss."

This is pointing him.

It should be said that from the perspective of the pursuit of an actor, there is always one or two sharper art films to sit in, and the same is true for a director, but the degree of it is not easy to grasp.Sometimes, only when the right time, place and people are together can we win a good word.

For example, "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" filmed by the National Teacher, although the script is a small and fresh love story, but the time and background in it may not be as good as the filming if the director is changed.It is not written in the regulations, but it seems to be a convention, and everyone avoids it.

It’s like Jiang Wen accepted the punishment after filming “The Devil Is Coming” and didn’t direct for five years. Afterwards, he asked the director of the Film Bureau, “It’s already two Kun years, can we make a movie?”

I got a grinning answer: "What can you mean? There has never been such a rule."

Jiang Wen happily went to shoot the film.

But if you really don't take it seriously, pretend to be a foreign guest, and live up to your guilt, then you will have your own juice to eat.

However, Fang Yi doesn't need to think too much about it right now.

He was stuck in the last three days of the Cannes Film Festival, and these three days were also the busiest three days in Cannes, because it was close to the final awards ceremony.By daytime of the next day, Hollywood stars and large production companies entered the venue one after another, and many domestic media's on-site releases were also sent out.

Fang Yi read one by one:

"The Cannes film market has presented good business opportunities as soon as it opened. For Chinese films, not only major films spend a lot of money to buy advertising space in various magazines in Cannes, but the stars are not idle to contact and sell..."

"However, from the perspective of the global market, this prosperity does not mean that the Chinese film market has entered its own era. It can only be said that some well-made films have received some attention..."

"Chinese filmmakers held a big party in Cannes, and the reporters still questioned that such a big move would eventually be lost in the sea of ​​films in Cannes. The so-called high-profile appearance is just soy sauce."

There are also drafts that combine current events, taking advantage of the yin and yang of domestic films to take advantage of Fan Meiren, who walks the red carpet five times a day, saying, "Chinese film international 'Fan Er' has not yet become a climate."

So, what are the "well-made" and "climate" movies?

Zhen Kung Fu's "Martial Arts", Jet Li's "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate", and Guoshi's "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" must all think they are "well-made". Self is "well made".

Fang Yi and his team dealt with reporters for a while on the beach in Cannes in the morning, and in the afternoon they were meeting with well-known distributors and managers from all walks of life—the only people who came to the tavern last night were some poor brothers from Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Today is the main dish.

In the lead are Lionsgate Films, a film company dubbed "Hollywood's ninth largest", and the Weinstein Company - headed by the famous Harvey Weinstein, who has released domestic films "Heroes" and "Shaolin". football".

Harvey himself did not come in person, but his manager.The transaction between the two parties was not negotiated, and the price of the other party was kept very low, "80 US dollars."

People from China Film Group thought it was a share, and they shook their fingers and answered with a smile: "Buy out!"

Of course it doesn't work.

Lionsgate offered a higher price, but they wanted to see the full movie, and they didn't believe in long trailers.Yankees call themselves a city on a hill, and look down on modern films from other places.

Toho Film Co., Ltd. spent 1000 or 200 million US dollars to buy the copyright and remake rights in Japan, and only asked Fang Yi to personally lead the promotion team; South Korea's CJ Productions and Showbox also offered a sincere price of 260 million US dollars , The two sides fought back and forth, adding one hundred thousand and one hundred thousand, and the price was raised to [-] million.

——Why is there such a big gap between Orientals and Westerners?
Fang Yi was a little surprised.

Han Sanping was overjoyed, and comforted him: "After all, it is a modern film. Modern films are not the name card of our Chinese films. Asia recognizes your face, but European and American ones don't... Do you think it's not selling well? To be honest, this But it is the best-selling modern film!"

"Hollywood romance movies are not going to sell in China."

This seems to make sense.

Fang Yi didn't care about discussing with Han Sanping, and a new manager came to them immediately. After all, there are still a lot of luck in asking prices... and he has been busy all day, but he still can't receive them.

There are constantly new film buyers who claim to have sufficient budget and ask to see the crew of "Return to 17". Among them, fans and paparazzi who are fishing in troubled waters stop them. The crowd flocks to the bottom of the hotel and refuses to leave for a long time.

Open the curtains and look out the window. There are dots of tents stationed on the beach, like luminous starfish, clinging tenaciously to the gravel without moving at all.

Fang Yi had participated in the Magnolia TV Festival before, and the Shanghai Film Festival was nearby at that time. He said with emotion: "It is worthy of being the Cannes Film Festival. Being here is different after all... It seems that moviegoers from all over the world are here."

At this time, Xianyu Liu was perfect, she said regretfully, "If we had come a few days earlier, wouldn't we have been able to talk to every film producer."

Fang Yi smiled and said: "This is not what you do. How can we talk about everything, it will never be finished."

Small studios generally don't get access to directors and producers, let alone actors.

Xianyu Liu is very serious: "I heard that director Chen Kaige's wife, Chen Hong, is his good wife in his career. I really want to be like her, take care of everything in an orderly manner..."

She squinted her eyes and wrinkled her nose slightly, "Hmph, you can't escape my palm."

Wait, but you are not such a person——Fang Dao is not good at hitting her blood for no reason.

After some teasing, Fang Yi was about to accept an interview with "Forbes" reporter Hao Bing, and said, "I have an interview."

Liu Tianxian understood immediately, and found a book from somewhere: "Go."

Unexpectedly, Fang Yi's phone rang.

Liu Tianxian also put down the book and glanced at him from the corner of his eye.

It's Jiang Wenli.

Teacher Jiang may have gotten Fang Yi's phone number from the school and played the alumni card.

He raised his voice high as soon as he opened his mouth, "Director Fang, I am embarrassed to call you by your name. Although you are a student of Central Opera, I believe that those who are masters are teachers. In movies, you are much better than me now. .”

"Teacher Jiang..."

"There are young people like this in Central Opera. I haven't had a good chance to meet them before. Now it's a good occasion. Do you think we have a chance to meet each other? We can also come out for parties in the future. We also have activities, usually Always in touch…”

He also said, "Oh, the international chapter is also here. I know you are a busy person now, or chat with your female star? Actually, the most important thing is to get to know her, so I won't be reluctant to let it out for a while."

hang up the phone.

The words are so low, and they refuse to explain.

Fang Yi pondered the meaning of Jiang Wenli's words.

Was it to lure him into the circle of the Northwest Gang?Or pure bullshit?
What does this have to do with Liu Yifei?
I never heard that Jiang Wenli likes to read philosophical chicken soup.

Fang Yi met Jiang Wenli when he returned to school, and nodded his head from a distance; Fang Yi's potential was visible at that time, but it was not as good as it is now.

But it's not enough to come here to exhort it.

Her eyes fell on the bored Liu. She stared blankly at the ceiling, but from time to time her eyes drifted to Fang Yi who had just finished answering the woman's phone call.

Fang Yi's tone gradually became jokingly heavy: "Now the organization has a difficult task to entrust to you, you..."

She had been excited all day since last night, and stood up in a hurry, "Report! At all costs... No, please rest assured, Chief!"

"I haven't said anything yet? It's this...Jiang Wenli from the crew of "Favorite" invited me to meet. She is from the acting department of my school. Strictly speaking, I should call her a teacher. I told you to handle it for me. , let’s see what she wants to say, I can’t spare time... It is said that there may be an international chapter, the two girls—oh..."

When Fang Yi said this, he suddenly realized, and nodded, "It's really all women. I probably know what I want to do with you."

Liu Tianxian didn't know what Fang Yi had realized, but there was an unshirkable determination in her words, "Woman? That must be me."
