China Entertainment started from art school

Chapter 197 Grand Reception

The movie ended, and there was some applause in the auditorium.

There are still many people who like it very much, otherwise it would not be possible to be shortlisted for the main competition unit of Gana.

However, there are also many people who are in a complicated mood, so they get up and prepare to leave without doing the "basic etiquette".

But this is China, this is Ga Na, what's the plot, what movies are they haven't seen before?
Where did "Day and Night" go?
It's nice not to have three people bathing in the same tub!

Therefore, after the movie ended, many people still came to chat with them, and then asked for autographs and group photos.

And outside the movie hall, there are also reporters from Movie Network randomly interviewing the audience, asking them about their feelings after watching.

"It's a rather special movie, but I really like it. Many places feel a bit sudden, but it makes sense when you look carefully. When watching this movie, you need to figure out the change of the heroine's mentality."

"I like it very much! A very good work! I can understand the director's intention and what he wants to say. Maybe I will watch the re-screening again later!"

"I don't really understand, but both actors are very good-looking."

"I think it's a bit bloody...but it's weird, and I find it very attractive. Anyway, I saw the end."

"A work with a strong national flavor... I understand why it was nominated for the main competition list."

"You have to go through the plot carefully to figure it out. The heroine and the first hero should be true love. They are very similar, so they are attracted to each other and like each other. There is nothing else mixed between them. And the second The two male protagonists are out of staying together, out of long-term love, and out of stability. Simply put, one is a dream, and the other is life."

After interviewing for a while, the reporters from MovieNet probably knew about the evaluation of the movie among the crowd, so they were going to interview the person involved at this time, that is, the director Li Jingkun himself.

·····
The evaluation of the film seems to be a bit polarized. This is what Li Jingkun had prepared for from the beginning, so I didn't find it strange.

Liu Tianxian didn't have any special feelings yet, because those who didn't like her left early, but those who approached them, who wanted her to sign autographs and take photos with her, all liked her very much.

Belonging to some survivors biased.

She thinks that most people like their movie very much, because so far, all they have heard are praises!

······
On the evening of the 19th, Zhang Guoshi and Chen Daoming arrived at Nice Airport.

As soon as he got off the plane, Zhang Guoshi was surrounded by many media, and he couldn't move an inch.

Chen Daoming over there was covered by him, but he walked smoothly. He quickly walked out of the airport, boarded a commercial vehicle and left.

It's also a bit of a dog, let the national teacher face all the reporters alone.

But Zhang Guoshi didn't look angry at all, his attitude and spirit were very good throughout the whole process, and he always had a smile on his face.

Perhaps thinking that they had waited for him for so long after all, he stayed for a few interviews.

"The movie "Return" has received a very good reputation, and the box office results are also very good. As of tonight, in just four days, the domestic box office has exceeded [-] million. How is the director feeling?"

Zhang Guoshi smiled and said, "Of course I'm very happy, it's pretty good."

"How much box office do you think you can get in the end? Can you break the record of domestic literary films?"

"Of course I hope the higher the better. I don't know exactly how much I can get."

"Would it be a pity not to be shortlisted for the main competition unit of Gana this time?"

"My own words are okay, after all, I often participate in competitions. I just feel sorry for our two actors, after all, they both performed very well!"

"What do you think about the movie "Day and Night" that was shortlisted for the main competition?"

Maybe it was because he heard a different question, Zhang Guoshi’s expression finally changed. He smiled and said: “I’m very happy, really happy! I was surprised when I heard it for the first time. Then I felt a little uncomfortable. Believe it or not, after confirming it again and again, I believe it is true!"

"Director Li is your younger brother of Jingying."

"Yes, he is my younger brother, of course we know each other. I remember that when we first met, he was still in Jingying School, and I took "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" to communicate with the teachers and students of the school. At that time, he had already It was a student representative, and he came to the stage to interact with us.

He is a very smart and energetic young man, and he is also very brave, daring to act and shoot!I like him a lot, and I love his movies.Including "Introduction to Architecture" and "Hummingbird" and so on. "

"Director Li's work was also screened at the film festival today, but the reputation is a bit polarized. People who like it love it very much, and people who hate it hate it very much. What do you think of this?"

Zhang Guoshi was a little surprised: "Really? I haven't read his work yet, so I can't say anything. I can answer your question after I have read it."

·····
Zhang Guoshi came, so Li Jingkun naturally had to pay a visit.

There are too many reasons, for example, he is a senior, or a senior brother, and at the same time, he has made many great contributions to the domestic film industry, etc.; as a junior, since he has also come to a foreign country, he must take the initiative to go there Say hello.

So on the morning of the 20th, he got in touch with him very early and wanted to meet him when he was free.

But when Zhang Guoshi came to Ga Na, there were many people who wanted to see him and those he had to meet.For example, the chairman and art director of the Gana Film Festival, some of his old friends here, etc., so if Li Jingkun wanted to meet him, he had to stand in line for a while.

But it may also be that there are a lot of people who need to meet, so most of them did not chat for a long time. Anyway, Li Jingkun met with the national teacher smoothly at around 11 o'clock.

Naturally, he continued to carry an oil bottle with him.

Beautiful oil bottle.

······
Zhang Guoshi is over 60 years old this year!
But the spirit is very good, and you can feel it when you see a real person; or you can feel it when you watch his recent interviews.

He is still very energetic, still active in the front line of creation, and he is still so good at playing!

"The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" was released in 2010, "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" was released in 2011, and this year is "Return".

Needless to say, you can go to the online encyclopedia to look up the list of his movie works. After reading a long list, the word "admiration" will be left.

Of course, it can’t be said that he does a great job every time, for example, in a few years he will encounter a huge co-production... But his seriousness and sincerity to the film is certain!

And, he will continue to do so.

In another five or six years, he will be in his seventies...

So it’s okay not to admire him, so it’s okay not to respect him.

"It's pretty good, really, like your previous "Hummingbird" is very good, I like it very much. This time it should be good, otherwise they wouldn't be able to choose you."

They met in a hotel room, and of course there were many people around him, some were assistants, and some were other film creators.

Zhang Guoshi said: "Remember when we met for the first time, you only made one movie at that time, right? Are you preparing for the second movie?"

"Yes, "Youth School" had just been released at that time. I was preparing for "Introduction to Architecture". At that time, the heroine had not yet been selected."

"Yes, we talked a lot back then. I didn't expect you to grow up so fast in the blink of an eye! It really shocked me!"

"Senior brother is too rewarding."

"No, not at all, among other things, at least I basically like your movies. I wonder how this movie is going to be?"

"I personally think it's okay, but the subject matter may not be liked by everyone."

Zhang Guoshi nodded: "I have also heard some comments about your movie, but I think you can let it continue to ferment for a while; because this is a normal phenomenon, it is something that everyone Something that happens to filmmakers.

After all, every subject has some people who accept it and some people who don't.Controversy is inevitable.

Haven't I come all the way through controversy?The most important thing is how you think.If you already feel that it is right, then stick to it and try to make it the best it can be.

It is more important to have that kind of energy and have that kind of passion and desire to express!After venting this creative desire, after the work is completed, it is not too late to summarize how to go back, how to learn lessons and experience to do it again! "

"Yes, I understand."

Li Jingkun naturally nodded and obeyed obediently. There are still many things that people can learn from the words of senior masters - although he himself is not much affected by the comments.

·····
That night, the main creators of "Return" appeared on the red carpet of the Cana Film Festival.The organizer gave them a very grand and grand reception. They walked on the red carpet for 7 minutes, during which the applause and flashing lights never stopped-the scale and on-site feedback were completely different from the screening of "Day and Night" the day before!

Zhang Guoshi, Gong Li, Chen Daoming, Zhang Huiwen, Lang Lang and others were all there; everyone was well-dressed, and everyone dressed up to attend!

Both Gong Li and Zhang Huiwen belong to the "Mou Girls", but it has to be said that Gong Huang's aura is really strong.

After a few people walked the red carpet, they came to the Lumiere Hall. The movie hall was already crowded with people. Everyone was standing there applauding, or they were taking pictures with their mobile phones.

After walking outside for 7 minutes, we also applauded for more than a minute in the exhibition hall!
This scene, such a grand courtesy, will definitely be sent back to China, and the video will be kept on the Internet for a long time!
Of course Li Jingkun and Liu Tianxian were also present.

Seeing this scene, Liu Tianxian couldn't help but said to him: "It's so shocking! Director Zhang is so popular here!"

And they're just here to show!

The artistic director of the film festival greeted it in person, and there were also various big names in the theater, major directors and Oscar winners, etc.

This is the big scene.Ga Na really gave Zhang Guoshi a lot of face.

Afterwards, everyone was seated, and everyone was ready to appreciate the latest work of the master - "Return"!
······
On the 21st, Zhang Guoshi and others left Ga Na, ended their short trip to Ga Na, and began to change positions to promote their works.

On the 26th, Li Jingkun and others who participated in the closing ceremony of the Gana Film Festival returned to Kyoto after a 12-day trip to China.

After watching "Return" on the night of the 20th, Mother Liu returned to China first, while Li Jingkun and Liu Tianxian went out for a few days, and returned on the 25th to continue to attend the closing ceremony.

As a result, it did not win the Palme d'Or, and the Palme d'Or that night was taken away by "Hibernation"; a feature film that lasted more than 3 hours.

Both of them have watched this movie. It is a very wonderful work, and it is not wrong to lose to it.

After they left the airport, they were surrounded by many media and asked many questions. Li Jingkun still answered them with a modest attitude.

Then everyone returned to the company first, and then separated.

For the time being, Liu Tianxian followed him to his villa.

After finally returning home, I started to carry my luggage home.

After going out for more than ten days, I naturally bought a lot of things when I came back, including food, play and entertainment.

After working for more than half an hour, the two of them didn't want to move any more, so they both threw themselves on the mattress at home.

Of course, it will be a little tiring to fly, drive, and carry luggage.

Moreover, after playing for more than ten days, having been busy for more than ten days, when I suddenly returned home, I felt a little strangely peaceful at first.

Both lay on their sides, facing each other and fell asleep.

After staring at each other for a while, Liu Tianxian stretched out his fingers and slowly stroked his face: "It feels like a dream."

"Ah."

"I feel happier than last time we went to play in the snow."

"Yes."

“Film festivals are still fun.”

"Yes, there are shows, there are good movies, and we can appear together in a fair manner."

"Yeah." Liu Tianxian touched his face: "It's just that I can't get the award."

"...So there are still some disappointments?"

"It's okay, in fact, I have always been a little psychologically prepared, and after going there and seeing so many works, I feel even more uncertain-after all, it is the first time for us to go, so we just took it away for the first time. Their biggest trophy, it also feels a little bit impossible."

"Ah."

"But what about you? I've forgotten how you felt. In fact, this award is more important to you, right?"

"No," Li Jingkun said, "your feelings are more important to me."

Finally Liu Tianxian couldn't help laughing, then leaned over and kissed him on the forehead.

Li Jingkun said: "Actually, I was quite surprised to get the nomination this time. After all, "Hummingbird" didn't get it last time. And Gana's influence is really great. Don't you think our movie got the nomination because of it?" Is it a lot of publicity?"

"Well, it feels like going to the Gana Film Festival once can save a lot of publicity costs. And the film has been sold in several countries, so it's not like we got nothing!"

"Yes," Li Jingkun also smiled, "Besides, I have won the biggest awards, what else am I not satisfied with?"
