Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 647: The Youth's Journey

After a while.

Three people went to the cinema.

Zhou Mo first found Jiang Wen, greeted him, and then was drafted into the army by Jiang Wen.

"As the producer of this film, it's ok that you didn't show up during the filming, but you're not working now. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?" Jiang Wen narrowed his eyes and urged Zhou Mo to work.

Zhou Mo also squinted at him.

The expressions of the two people were surprisingly 90% similar at this moment.

"You still didn't keep your word and removed the ad. Don't you have to give me an explanation?"

When Jiang Wen heard this, he didn't feel guilty at all.

"That's because you didn't come to the crew. If you had come, I would have definitely added the advertisement. In the end, it's because you didn't show up."

Hey!
You still make sense, right?

"Then why didn't you tell me that you delayed the release date by three months? In order to get De Niro, the company told me that the budget was exceeded by a lot."

Jiang Wen shook his head: "That's because you didn't come, otherwise I wouldn't have any use for Robert."

Zhou Mo: ...

He finally saw it.

No matter what he said today, the other party probably wouldn't change the subject.

After a while, many guests arrived one after another.

Zhou Mo received guests for a while and met many acquaintances.

Most of them just say a sentence or two and then go their separate ways.

Only when it came to Brother Kaizi, the two of them talked for a long time.

"Director Chen, 'Youth's Journey' should be released in July, so it should be fine."

"The Journey of Youth".

More than a year ago, Zhou Mo reached a cooperation with Kaizi Ge to shoot a realistic film based on real events.

Brother Kaizi nodded and told him his plan.

"When Cannes is over this year, it will be about time."

"Youth's Journey" was filmed at the end of last year and was sent to Cannes by Brother Kaizi.

Not long after it was sent over, news came from Cannes that "Young People's Journey" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of Cannes.

For a while.

The domestic film and television industry is once again in an uproar.

You know, the last time Kaizi Ge was shortlisted for the main competition in Cannes was nearly 20 years ago for "The Emperor and the Assassin".

Now, it is once again on the Cannes stage.

Who knows if he will become the first domestic director to win two Palme d'Ors.

If he really wins, all the ridicule, sarcasm and complaints about Brother Kaizi on the Internet in the past will become a thing of the past.

It may even become Brother Kaizi’s medal.

Brother Kaizi was very calm about the news and expressed his views on a public platform.

"It's just that I was shortlisted. It's not something that's particularly surprising. I just hope to present a good work to the audience..."

Having said that, Zhou Mo got information from Master Chen Feiyu.

Young Master Feiyu said that the first thing his father did when he came home every day was to go to the study and laugh for a while, and then come out happily to watch TV.

The market also taught him to always maintain a hard-working and learning attitude, and never give up trying just because he thought he had achieved something.

Obviously, Master Feiyu criticized this attitude.

Thinking of this, Zhou Mo glanced at Brother Kaizi, suddenly leaned close to him and whispered: "Director Chen, tell me something, does "Young Journey" really have a chance to win the Palme d'Or this year?" The journey of "Young Journey" to Cannes was personally operated by Brother Kaizi from beginning to end.

In terms of relationships, he is no less than Zhou Mo.

Zhou Mo was also happy that Brother Kaizi took the initiative to volunteer.

As early as when "Young Man's Journey" was completed, he knew that the movie would definitely win an award.

It’s just a matter of winning an award.

"The Journey of Youth" involves a very important group of people.

Minor.

The rights of minors, that is, children's rights, have always been a hotly discussed topic since the United Nations signed an agreement in the last century.

In the future, during the years when America's magic confrontation was at its most violent, the attention paid to children's rights would be no less than that to those monsters and demons.

Even in the most typical case, the one in 97 incidents where a minor chooses his or her own choice, children's rights are obviously the priority, and parents are not qualified to interfere in the matter.

This shows the sensitivity of this topic.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Therefore, the play "Youthful Personality" has already touched the base of the trophy in terms of both quality and sensitivity.

Brother Kaizi hesitated for a moment and slowly shook his head.

"The Palme d'Or is difficult, there are many competitors and the competition is very fierce this year."

The competition for the Palme d'Or is difficult, which means those behind will have a chance?

Zhou Mo realized the meaning behind Brother Kaizi's words.

"Hey, this kind of thing doesn't matter. It's up to man to propose and God to dispose. In this case, I'd like to congratulate Brother Kaizi in advance on his good grades. You must invite me to the celebration party when you come back!"

Brother Kaizi smiled.

"Of course I should. Without Director Zhou's original proposal, I wouldn't have had this idea. Director Zhou must come when the time comes."

After a while.

The welcoming work for "Surprise Attack on the White Tigers" is finally over.

Enter the cinema.

Wu Jing asked in a low voice: "Director Zhou, were you just talking with Director Chen about "Youth's Journey"? "

"Yes, what's wrong, Brother Jing?"

"Nothing, just... I don't know what feeling it is, admiration, envy, um." Wu Jing opened his mouth several times and uttered a short sentence.

Zhou Mo laughed when he heard this.

He could almost understand Wu Jing's thoughts.

"Brother Jing, you don't need to compare yourself with them. You are on a different path from them, so there is no need to envy them. I always believe that for the development of the industry, commercial films are more important than art films. Commercial films cannot support a sufficient market.

You just need to stick to your own path now. One day in the future, when the industry's rapid development ends and begins to slow down, stop, or even regress, the importance of commercial films, such as the Wolf Warrior series, will become more and more prominent. "

In the past, the domestic film market had developed to such an extent that even the epidemic could not stop its development momentum, but it was cut short by a bunch of messy things.

All I can say is that some guys only know how to exploit the situation from the beginning to the end, and have never thought about developing the market or the industry.

Wu Jing didn't quite understand what Zhou Mo meant, but was greatly inspired by the confidence he expressed.

"Then I'll listen to your Director Zhou. I'll shoot Wolf Warriors 2 after I finish filming Battlefield this year."

"Well, I'll let the company know when the time comes. Just tell me who you need."

The voice just fell.

The movie starts.

Two hours later.

In the cinema, applause gradually broke out.
