China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 462 Cannes Invitation [Please subscribe]

Sun Yi's speech brought the media to a climax.

He didn't say this in a separate interview, but in front of a large group of reporters. Sun Yi is a well-known director, and the topic is high enough, but he always keeps a low profile and rarely expresses his opinions in public.

This time, one stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The media doesn't care whether you paid to control the review or asked someone to say hello. Anyway, they are just reposting it. What Sun Yi said is what it has to do with them.

Huayi also wanted to fight with the Internet trolls, but Xingkong was not a vegetarian. After Liu Xiaowei found out about his boss's remarks, he mobilized his talented people and published more than a dozen sharp film reviews.

He began to interpret the movie in an all-round way, directly clarifying the stance of the movie, hitting the key points, making fatal moves, and instantly detonating the Internet.

When netizens saw it, they all understood.

"I'm going to tell you why it looks so awkward. This dog's butt is crooked."

"Damn it"

Within a day, the reputation of the entire "Nanjing Nanjing" could no longer be maintained and collapsed. The originally high-profile promotion suddenly died down.

Huayi had no choice but to cry to China Film Academy as he didn't dare to play dirty tricks.

It's not like that. This is almost a personal attack.

Faced with Huayi's small report, Han Sanping was helpless and could only try his best to comfort him. He was not easy to do as the head of the family.

On one side is the largest Huayi, on the other side is the enterprising starry sky.

The palms of the palms and the backs of the hands are all meat.

And in comparison, he prefers the stars in his heart.

But in order to show that the bowl of water was even, he still made a special call to Sun Yi.

"Well, you can express your personal opinions, but you still have to pay attention to the impact. After all, you are also a public figure."

"Leader, I'll pay attention next time, but you also have to understand. I really can't stand it. You said that making a movie for publicity requires a certain amount of hype. We also understand that you can use the suffering of the nation to highlight your personal values. This is not mourning. Conscience."

Han Sanping was speechless.

It was one thing to think in his heart, but it was another thing to launch the satellite directly in front of reporters, but he couldn't say anything else, so he could only sigh and said:
  "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. By the way, how is your movie "The Untouchables" going? When is it going to be released? If you don't mention it, the summer schedule will be full."

As soon as Sun Yi heard this, he knew that Director Han was not angry at all. On the surface, he said that the schedule was full, but in fact, he was telling himself that the summer vacation should be reserved for Xingkong.

When a movie is released in general, can China Film still let you choose a schedule?
  Time counts, and you are rushing to memorize it. If you have already set a schedule and a big company's work is blocked, you have to change it temporarily, and you have no place to reason.

It's all about relationships.

"Boss, aren't I going to send it to Cannes? I just thought, don't worry about it then. If we can get this award or that award, we will look good, and the box office will be even better."

"Okay, you just need to know what's going on, but submit it at least one month in advance, otherwise you won't be able to keep the good times."

Although Han Sanping recognized Sun Yi's directorial skills, he didn't believe that he would win the award just because he won it.

That's Cannes, which is one of the highest-level awards in film art. It's not that easy.

Otherwise, why would Director Chen have been blowing it for most of his life and still not finish it?

"Okay, don't worry, leader."

Putting down the phone, Sun Yi looked at the invitation letter in his hand, which was written in both English and French, and felt a little worried for a moment.

The invitation was from the Cannes Film Festival.

Probably means:

Dear Mr. Sun Yi, your film "Untouchable" has been comprehensively reviewed and evaluated by the Jury Committee of the 62nd Cannes International Film Festival Organizing Committee, and has officially entered the main competition unit of this film festival to participate in the selection. We hereby invite you and The main creative staff of the film participated in this year's Cannes Film Festival and attended the 5nd Cannes International Film Festival Awards Ceremony held at the Palais des Cinemas in Cannes on May 25.

This film festival is open from May 5th to May 13th. We look forward to your arrival. “What’s wrong? Director Han criticized you?”

Liu Yifei was originally very happy. After all, she received an invitation from the Cannes Film Festival, which meant that the film had been shortlisted. But when Sun Yi put down the phone, he had a sad look on his face. He thought he was being said harshly by Han Sanping on the phone. , quickly asked with concern.

Sun Yi was stunned for a moment.

Being criticized by Director Han?
  Where is this?
  That’s how shameless we are.
  No, with this kind of psychological quality, are you still afraid of criticism?
  "Hey, no, I'm thinking about the Cannes Film Festival."

"What happened to the Cannes Film Festival? We were shortlisted. Shouldn't we be happy?"

How can I say this?

Sun Yi hesitated and explained to Liu Yifei: "The words I said in the media interview the day before yesterday had a huge impact, you know, right?"

Liu Yifei nodded.

Not only is it quite big, it is now said on the Internet that Sun Yi's comments caused "Nanjing Nanjing" to lose at least 2000 million at the box office.

Sun Yi scratched his head, sighed, and said: "It's easy to say this, but it must be done. The "Wings in the Sky" we are going to shoot is also a movie with the theme of the Anti-Japanese War. If it is not done well, You might get scolded back by others if you point it out.”

"May will be in two days, and there are still 5 months to go. The movie must be released. It's been more than half a month since I went to Cannes. I really can't get away. Brother Fan still has to watch the studio. I can’t live without it even for a while, and during the time when the movie is being screened, I probably have no choice but to give up.”

Although Liu Yifei has never been to Cannes, she is very familiar with the awards process of the Cannes Film Festival.

Not because she is from the industry, but because
  Alas, this is embarrassing to say.

But when Sun Yi won the Palme d'Or for Best Short Film, Liu Yifei was so happy for him that she secretly asked someone about it.

She knows that a film being shortlisted is only the first step. It only represents the initial recognition of the film by the current jury. It also needs to accept the comments from movie fans and related practitioners from all over the world during the film festival. Although these The evaluation will not affect the final award result, but the jury is also a human being, and they will change their views due to these evaluations. No one knows which film will win the award until the last moment.

Therefore, for films that want to win awards, the screening of the film is also very important.

Sun Yi said that he didn't have time, and Yang Fan couldn't go, which meant that he would most likely have to give up on the screening of "The Intouchables" and leave it to the organizing committee to arrange it, depending on their mood for promotion.

This is very detrimental to film awards.

If you, as the producer of the film, don't take it seriously, why should the organizing committee recommend you?

Thinking of this, Liu Yifei gritted her teeth, straightened her back, raised her chin, patted her chest and said, "Leave it to me!"

Yeah, trembling? ? ! !

Sun Yi reacted very quickly, his eyes immediately moved, and he asked:

"Ah um. What. What can I leave to you?"

Liu Yifei didn't see any clues. She pointed at herself with high spirits and said to Sun Yi word by word:

"I~ said, I~ will go. I will do the communication with the organizing committee during the film screening. You can just come to attend the award ceremony on the last day."

Sun Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xiao Nizi didn't notice, but then he was stunned again.

"Ah, are you going?"

"What's wrong? You don't like me?"

"That's not it."

Sun Yi thought.

If he can't go there himself, and neither can Brother Fan, it's not a good idea to bother Uncle Zhang with this matter.

If you want to put it this way, Xiao Nizi is really the best candidate, but is she good at this?
