Chapter 133: unexpected surprise
Chapter 133 Unexpected Surprise
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Golden Photography Award, and the trip to Cannes will not leave empty-handed.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Le looked at Yang Xin'er, saw that his expression was a little strange, and asked immediately.
"Teacher Bao won the prize. I am afraid there is no chance for the next awards of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"." Yang Xiner looked at Bao Zhen who was a little excited on the podium, smiled and said.
"It's a worthwhile trip to be able to enter the main unit competition. Now that you get a prize, no matter what the prize is, it is an unexpected surprise." Zhang Le was taken aback by Yang Xiner's words, and then said with a smile.
"If you really only win a photography award, that would be a shame." Yang Xiner shook her head, smiled reluctantly, and said.
"You know that I don't have a bad feeling about awards at all. I brought "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to Cannes to a large extent to open up the company's international distribution channels. In fact, I am still very interested in the film's foreign box office. Optimistic. Especially the North American box office." Zhang Le said with a smile.
Bao Zhen was a little excited, but he hadn't lost his mind. His acceptance speech was easy to come by, which also shows how graceful his experience is.
"Congratulations!"
"Congratulations!"
Bao Zhen returned to the crew, and everyone in the crew smiled and congratulated.
"Thank you!"
Bao Zhen said very politely.
After Baozhen won the prize, the nervousness in Zhang Le's heart disappeared. It will be best if you can, but there is nothing if you can't. After all, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has inherent disadvantages after all. He is a martial arts movie with a little commercial atmosphere. There are indeed some inherent disadvantages at this Cannes Film Festival.
But no one can deny the artistry of this film.
Zhang Le really doesn't have much interest in art. When shooting "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he once regretted choosing to shoot this film. He would rather shoot some popcorn movies than touch such movies again. Of course, Zhang Le didn't have many memories of art films in his mind.
This film has not yet won the award at Cannes, so it can only be fate. Zhang Le would not be unwilling to shoot "Happy Together" and "Farewell My Concubine", which won awards in previous lives. Of course, Jiang Wen's "Devil is Coming" will not be filmed.
Thanks to thankless things, Zhang Le is really not interested.
"Damn, there is such a thing!" Zhang Le said in surprise when he heard the judges announce the jury award.
"What's wrong?" Yang Xiner didn't understand, she looked at Zhang Le and asked. As soon as his words fell, he seemed to hear a lame "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and turned his head to look on the stage.
"Ha, ha!"
After a paragraph of English translation, everyone understood that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. This award may not be as good as the Palme d'Or, but it is also a full award for the film festival. After so many festivals, there are only one or two Chinese-language films that have won this award.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to win this award is definitely a huge victory, and with this award, he will also play an important role in the domestic director circle.
In the domestic director circle, winning awards, especially foreign awards, can improve your status far more than shooting a film with an excellent box office. Of course, just in the circle. In front of those investors, the box office is naturally more important.
And if a large film and television company fails to win a decent award, no matter how big the company is, it will be criticized by others and even affect the company’s image. This is also why many film and television companies know that they lose money when shooting art films. The reason for still investing.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Cannes Jury Prize, not only for Zhang Le, but also for Xinle Film and Television.
"Thank you! Thanks to the jury for your affirmation, thanks to the actors and the staff behind the scenes of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Especially thanks to my girlfriend, Miss Yang Xiner, who is also the star of this film. I have encountered a lot in shooting this film. Difficulties, it is her encouragement and support that makes "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" today. I love you!"
Zhang Le took the trophy and spoke to the audience in fluent French.
"What did Director Zhang say?" Yang Liu asked Yang Xin'er sideways.
"I don't understand either." Yang Xiner smiled and shook her head, and said.
"Haha! Does this still need to be understood? You can guess it by guessing. It must be thanks to the jury, and then to everyone in the crew, especially Yang Xiner, saying that you may not end up in front of everyone. Some sweet words, such as I love you or something." Li Jie said with a smile.
"What were you talking about just now?" Zhang Le returned to his position, hugged Yang Xin'er, and then asked curiously.
"I'm guessing what the passage you just said means." Yang Xiner smiled and told Li Jie's guess.
Zhang Le was a little surprised, but then he smiled. The acceptance speeches are almost the same, so it is not surprising to be guessed.
Won the jury award. Naturally, it has nothing to do with the best actor and actress, best director, and the Palme d’Or. An artistic film festival like Cannes cannot be rounded up by a film. It is a bit unprecedented for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to win two awards. If it weren't for the Golden Photography in Cannes, it was not a big prize and was not valued, I am afraid it would not have won two awards.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the jury award, which caused quite a stir in the international arena. Film producers from all over the world naturally flocked to it, making it even more dizzying than entering the main unit competition before.
The sensational films at the Cannes Film Festival still have a big boost in the box office in Europe and the United States, especially in France. Of course, the real big box office is in North America. The reason why Hollywood movies are so developed is that their backing to the North American market is an important factor.
Although the China Film Market is gradually rising, North America is still the largest ticket warehouse in the world.
The sensational films at the Cannes Film Festival are not as good as Europe and other places in North America, but they still have a certain reputation and a certain degree of popularity at the box office. What's more, the actor Li Jie of this movie still has a great influence in North America, and the box office appeal is not weak.
Film dealers in various regions in Europe, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are directly bought in the form of buyout. The box office does not have much influence on Zhang Le. But for the North American region, Zhang Le refused to let go, and wanted to cooperate in the form of sharing, and the two sides have never reached a deal.
However, more and more distributors are interested in this film, and there are still many agreeing to the way Zhang Le proposes to share, but there are differences in the amount of share.
For this kind of commercial negotiation, Zhang Le is not very interested and not good at it. It is enough to leave everything to the people below the company. You only need to give a bottom line.
In the end, the North American release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was handed over to Paramount, a major Hollywood company, and the shares were divided on a tiered price basis. The more the box office, the higher the split.
