China Entertainment: I am a big boss in the industry

Chapter 62 Target Cannes
"Click, passed." Lin Gao held a loudspeaker, "Today's shooting mission is completed. Thank you everyone for your hard work throughout the day."

After the filming was completed, Liu Yifei got into Liu Xiaoli's BMW and left the filming scene.

Half a month passed, and Liu Xiaoli watched her daughter closely. She would never allow Liu Yifei and Lin Gao to be alone together.

"Director Lin, you almost look like Wangfushi. The taillights of the car have disappeared."

Lin Gao didn't need to turn around to know that the person coming was Zhao Wenqi. Except for her, the voices of the rest of the crew were not that sexy~.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Gao turned his head and moved his eyes to Zhao Wenqi.

She has long wavy hair, long dark eyeshadow on her eyes, a short skirt and long boots with nails that reveal her absolute range as a girl.

"Of course I'm here to comfort Director Lin~" Zhao Wenqi trailed off in a long tone.

I was trying to cure the problem on her mouth.

"The way you comfort others is to seduce them into bed?" Lin Gao looked at Zhao Wenqi with a half-smile.

"This is the most effective method."

You are quite honest. Lin Gao found it a bit funny: "Next time, I'm not in the mood this time."

"When is the next time? Be clear, Director Lin." Zhao Wenqi asked Lin Gao's back. Lin Gao raised his hand and did not answer. She continued: "Tell me in advance, I will prepare some toys~"

……

The filming of Parasite was coming to an end, and Zhang Songwen came to chat with Lin Gao in private.

"It's too fast, Director Lin. Our shooting speed should be slowed down." Only Zhang Songwen in the crew clearly understood the excellence of Parasite, and the others knew only a little about it. They knew it was a good movie, but when asked what was good about it, they Can't answer again.

Zhang Songwen is an actor with top-level scrutiny, which is a mixed blessing. Director Zhang Yimou also has top-level scrutiny.

Halfway through the filming of The Great Wall, I must have felt cold and knew it was over.

"Songwen, do you think there is something wrong with the filming?" Lin Gao still respects Zhang Songwen's opinion, and he will adopt good suggestions.

"The filming was very good, but I think we shot too fast. It would be better to slow down and polish the plot." Zhang Songwen expressed his inner thoughts.

Lin Gao understood that Zhang Songwen was suffering from youthful illness and wanted to strive for perfection.

However, he only stood from the perspective of an actor. He didn't know that the financial pressure was like a sharp sword hanging over Lin Gao's head. Every extra day of filming would cost 10,000+, which Lin Gao couldn't afford.

Spending 10,000+ every day to seek an opportunity for correction is something Lin Gao cannot do.

"Songwen, the movie has to be finished one day. We can't do everything perfectly. We have to prepare for the next movie."

Zhang Songwen: "If we work harder, we can win an award at the European Film Festival."

"We will go to Europe." Lin Gao replied.

Zhang Songwen was stunned: "Venice, Cannes, or Berlin?"

The three film festivals are the top film festivals in Europe. Every year, tens of thousands of films are sent to the three major film festivals, involving hundreds of countries, including film masters from developed countries and artists from poor countries...

Just being shortlisted is already the best among people, and as for the final award, it is the dream of all directors and actors.

"Cannes." Lin Gao replied.

The three awards have different focuses. The Berlin Film Festival is dedicated to breaking down ideological barriers, and the award-winning films tend to be stream-of-consciousness. The Cannes Film Festival focuses on reality, and the award-winning films are all documentary.

"Parasite" is a realistic film. In theory, it is more likely to win awards at the Cannes Film Festival, but in fact, the Berlin Film Festival focuses more on domestic directors, and Lin Gao's status has a bonus.

"Would the Berlin Film Festival be better?" Zhang Songwen couldn't help but ask.The Cannes Film Festival is too difficult. Countless domestic film giants have failed in Cannes. Only one great director, Chen Kaige, has won the Palme d'Or.

Zhang Songwen was beating a drum in his heart.

He didn't think about the Palme d'Or, mainly because of Lin Gao's age and immature face. The picture of his immature face holding the Palme d'Or and being baptized by the flashlights of reporters from various countries was so beautiful that he didn't dare to think about it.

Zhang Songwen couldn't accept it. Lin Gao, who was under 25, won the Palme d'Or, but he firmly believed that Lin Gao would attack the Palme d'Or again and again in his lifetime.

If it is said that a domestic director will definitely win the Palme d'Or in the next 20 years, Zhang Songwen firmly believes that that person must be Lin Gao.

Now he just wants to be shortlisted for the main competition unit.

There are a total of six or seven shortlisted films. Each film is a work of art selected from thousands of films. They come from different countries and different directors.

Among the thousands of films there are great directors like Jia Zhangke from Japan, Chen Kaige from America, Zhang Yimou from France...

Do not!
Even better directors.

There are many dark horse contestants at the Cannes Film Festival that the world doesn't know about. There are too many unstable factors. Being shortlisted can already stir up domestic public opinion!
It’s even more of an honor to win the award! ! !

It is not an honor to be recognized by Westerners, but it is worth bragging about being featured in thousands of movies.

Lin Gao thought for a while and replied to Zhang Songwen: "No, just choose the Cannes Film Festival."

Lin Gao also knows that it is difficult to win the Palme d'Or in Cannes, but Parasite is the Palme d'Or in Cannes. He wants to follow the established route and minimize changes.

He was definitely not coveting the Palme d'Or and deliberately deprived Chen Kaige of the only Palme d'Or title.

This is a choice of fate, and I have no choice. You must forgive me, Director Chen.Lin Gao thought silently in his heart.

Zhang Songwen said a few more words, but seeing Lin Gao's firm attitude, he sighed, said no more, stood up and left.

After Lin Gao and Zhang Songwen finished chatting, the filming of the Parasite crew entered the fast lane and was completed before New Year's Day.

That day, Lin Gao invited the entire crew to the hotel for a feast.

During the dinner, Lin Gao stood up, held up his wine glass, and first thanked all the crew members for their hard work in the recent period and praised the team's performance. Everyone was very happy to hear it.

Finally, Lin Gao changed the topic and said: "The film will be sent to Europe to compete for awards. Next time I contact you, maybe it will be an invitation to go to Europe!"

At the dinner table, everyone looked at each other in confusion. There had been rumors among the crew that the film would be sent to Europe for awards, but those who heard it and those who told it were unsure. After all, this is the director's right.

"Europe!" "Europe, Europe!!!"

"Get the prize!" "Get the prize, get the prize!!!"

"Europe, get the prize!" "Europe, get the prize!!!"

First one person started making noises, and then everyone else joined in, and the atmosphere of the entire dinner was pushed to a climax.

There were people present who had traveled to Europe, but not one of them had been invited to the film festival by the organizer’s contestants!

Who can go?Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Fan Liangdian, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, they are all big names, and they are not stars anymore!

Jingtian reacted slowly and thought, ah, I'm going to Cannes, I'm so awesome~.

Liu Yifei looked at Lin Gao with a smile.

Zhao Wenqi is rubbing his legs. Director Lin, please restrain your charm, otherwise I won’t blame you for sleeping with me!
