Chapter 283

"Transcendence" received an enthusiastic response at Cannes, and the most excited people were not the creator's relatives and friends.

It was Rong Xinda and Tang Ren who had previously praised and killed Zhang Yuanjun in China.

It is known that 24-year-old Zhang Yuanjun will definitely not win the Best Actor Award.

So, if "Transcendence" receives a mediocre response at its premiere, they will say: ""Transcendence" was met with failure, and Zhang Yuanjun's dream was rejected at Cannes." This would be a stepping stone, and they would reveal the previously popular "quasi-actor" and "youngest Cannes winner" "Best Actor", Zhang Yuanjun was completely embarrassed when he was waiting for the draft.

If "Transcendence" is of high quality and causes a sensation, then they will push for a "quasi-Best Actor". Anyway, Zhang Yuanjun will definitely not win the Best Actor. When the time comes, he will return to China, and they will not just write it.

Anyway, Zhang Yuanjun’s trip to Cannes will definitely be embarrassing.

The popularity of "Transcendence" forced the film festival to schedule more films after its premiere.

The main creators are also busier, with more invitations and more activities.

After Chen Sicheng watched "Transcendence" at the premiere, he bought a ticket to watch it again the next day.

He understands the media's praise of "Transcendence," which is indeed a very good movie.

But he didn't understand the media's praise of Zhang Yuanjun.

He didn't think Zhang Yuanjun's performance in "Transcendence" was that good. The performance was excellent, but it was definitely not as good as the media said: "A talented actor from the East." "An impressive performance." "It's hard to believe him. Only 24 years old.”

He did not agree with comments like this.

He felt that his performance in "Spring Breeze Night" was equal to or even better than Zhang Yuanjun's.

Moreover, he felt that Zhang Yuanjun was not handsome at all. He was just tall and not as good-looking as him.

However, when he was interviewed by domestic reporters, he knew that he could not tell his true thoughts, but he still said good things: ""Transcendence" is a very good movie. Director Li Yang made it well and the theme is very profound."

He only said that the movie was good and the director could make it, but he would never admit that Zhang Yuanjun acted well.

Zhang Yuanjun and Li Yang have been busy these days, busy with guests.

Zhang Yuanjun was invited to attend the press conference of Jiang Wen's new film in Cannes today.

Jiang Wen didn't come, but his producer Ma Ke came.

"You have become a celebrity in Cannes. It is not easy to invite you." Marco said as soon as he saw Zhang Yuanjun.

"Teacher Ma, please, I will definitely come." Zhang Yuanjun said.

The press conference was very brief, announcing some basic information about the film, and also included two posters, one white and one blue.

These two posters are very interesting.

The white poster is a bullet equipped with a propeller, with the title "LET THE BULLETS FLY" and a line of small words below: "A COMIC WESTERN LEGEND".

The blue poster is more interesting. A bullet floats on a piece of white feathers, and the words written on it are the same as those on the white poster.

Zhang Yuanjun repeatedly praised the poster for its well-done work.

At the press conference, some domestic media asked Ma Ke directly: "I see Yuan Jun is also here. Will he be invited to director Jiang Wen's new film?"

Zhang Yuanjun, who was sitting in the guest seat, was stunned. What the hell is this?

I just came to support the stage, why was I invited to participate in the performance?

Marco responded wittily: "It's not impossible. The crew is still making preparations. Everything is possible."

Zhang Yuanjun knew that Ma Ke was using him to gain popularity, but he didn't object to it, so he sat down and just smiled.

Then, the reporter's manuscript became like this: "Jiang Wen's new film is released in Cannes, and the producer invites Zhang Yuanjun to the scene."

In fact, Zhang Yuanjun was lucky. What if Jiang Wen really asked him to act?

But at his age, he can only play Hu Wan, a leading role with a small director, and a supporting role with a big director. The role of Hu Wan seems to be quite good.

But what if Jiang Wen could be persuaded to change the script and change Huang Silang into a young rich second generation?
Forget it, just think about it, how could Jiang Wen listen to him.After attending the press conference of "Let the Bullets Fly", Zhang Yuanjun went to the press conference of Renren Films.

Zhang Yuanjun felt like a hangout, eating and drinking everywhere.

Xiao Zhao said: "Isn't this what we do? It's good to have food and drink."

When Zhang Yuanjun thought about it, he realized that this is what artists do: "Go straight to the core of the problem, with a very poisonous vision."

Renren Film’s signature brand is Chen Kexin, and its largest investor is Bernard.

Renren Movies released four movies today. Yu Dong made a bold statement: "3 movies in 15 years, 20 billion box office, our commitment is definitely not a slogan. With the strong guarantee of Renren Movies, every important movie in the future will be During the schedule, there will be films released by Paulie Berner participating in the competition.”

Yu Dong was particularly happy with the arrival of Zhang Yuanjun, who was now a celebrity.

The number one niche player in the country, the studio also has impressive production capabilities.

He is also well-known internationally. He was shortlisted for the Cannes main competition for the second time at the age of 24, and his starring films were highly praised by international film critics.

Yu Dong was determined to make good friends with this junior, so he took Zhang Yuanjun and had a lively chat at the press conference.

"Ma Ke can't be Jiang Wen's boss, it doesn't matter what he says."

Zhang Yuanjun said: "I know what he says doesn't count, so I should cooperate with him."

Yu Dong smiled and continued: "What are you going to do next with "The Lonely Agent"?"

"Let's just do it like this, do post-production, and release it next year." Zhang Yuanjun didn't know Yu Dong's idea for the time being.

"Have you found a mainland distribution company?" Yu Dong asked Zhang Yuanjun and it became clear.

"Mr. Jiang is talking about this."

Yu Dong got excited: "I have talked with Mr. Jiang about the mainland issuance with a guarantee of [-] million."

Yu Dong really thought highly of "The Lonely Agent" and dared to shell out 1 million guaranteed.

But Zhang Yuanjun didn't dare to agree: "Leave professional matters to professionals, and someone will be responsible for the issuance."

Zhang Yuanjun could see that Yu Dong was fishing for his fish.

Yu Dong said: "It's a pity that I don't have a suitable film in my hand, otherwise I would definitely invite you."

It's not that Bernard has no films, but that he is too deeply tied to the Hong Kong scene, and Yu Dong doesn't want to and can't use mainland actors as the protagonists.

Zhang Yuanjun laughed and said: "I have always wanted to cooperate with Bernard. Since Mr. Yu said so, I can only look for opportunities later."

Yu Dongshun climbed up the pole: "Our cooperation should not be limited to acting. If you have any good movies, bring them to me. Whether it is investment or distribution, I will definitely support you."

How many movies does Bernard cast in every year? How many movies can Zhang Yuanjun's small studio make in a year?

The two companies are not equal in terms of quantity, but Zhang Yuanjun's movies make money!
Bernard is tied to a car in the Hong Kong circle and earns a fortune. How can Hong Kong movies make money now?

If Bernard gets one or two movies like "Animal World", Bernard's financial report will be very good.

Not to mention Zhang Yuanjun still has connections with the United States.

Huayi invested a premium in Zhang Yuanjun's projects in the United States, and Bernard was also jealous, because although Bernard was seeking to be listed on the US stock market, he actually had no connections in the United States, and Hollywood studios did not even look at him.

If you don't make money, you are a fool. Zhang Yuanjun only said: "Our small workshop can't make a few movies a year, and we don't dare to make blockbusters. When the time comes, show it to Mr. Yu and don't dislike it."

"No, we are going to make a blockbuster movie, but we can't let it go with small and medium-sized projects." Yu Dong felt that he had a good conversation with Zhang Yuanjun today.

At the end of the conversation, Zhang Yuanjun was quite interested in today's press conference, and he was most interested in Chen Kexin's "Zhong Kui".

In Zhang Yuanjun's impression, he only remembers one movie about Zhong Kui in the future, "Snow Demon Spirit", but that was not Chen Kexin's.

Could it be that this movie was released in 09, but it was not completed for more than ten years and died halfway?
