Chapter 230 I Want It All

At the Cannes Film Festival, there are the most picky and professional film audiences in the world. Many films with directors who are mysterious or have little sincerity will be criticized. Everyone votes with their feet, and the screening room will soon be in the door.

But there is no need to worry about a really good movie. Even if no one knows it at the beginning, the people's eyes are bright and they will eventually stand out.

Not many people knew about the screenings in the first place, but in the end, the good reputation won the recognition of the audience.

This time, it was undoubtedly a big hit at the Cannes Film Festival. After the premiere, the audience also used applause and cheer to express the high flames and excitement in their hearts.

This is a work that has very Chinese characteristics but is completely different from previous Chinese films.

It tells an ancient story that belongs to China from beginning to end, the grand Tang Dynasty 1,300 years ago, and the high-spirited and confident spirit of people, like a dazzling exquisite painting, which is really beautiful.

The role of Gongsun Yao by Zhou Yi made the audience even more overjoyed. From appearance to image to temperament, to lines to actions to aura, every aspect is perfect, just like the most shining star in the night sky.

Even though the movie is over, Gongsun Yao's figure seems to be still shaking in front of her eyes.

The classical Chinese music in the movie, as well as the amazing Gongsun Jianwu and the colorful dance of the colorful clothes, are all scenes that make people think of endless reminiscence. This is a movie viewing experience that many people have never had before. Once they were unwilling to leave, they wanted to watch it again.

You should know that today's Film Festival Palace has opened three cinemas and three screening halls, which can accommodate more than 2,000 people to watch movies at the same time, which is already a very big-name treatment.

But I didn’t expect that the queue outside the cinema would wind for so long, and there were so many viewers who watched it once and were reluctant to leave to continue watching!

The Cannes Organizing Committee quickly took emergency measures. On the one hand, it temporarily added two screening rooms, and on the other hand, it stipulated that each audience member was allowed to watch it at most twice and could not occupy too much seat.

Media reporters are also catching up with the time to interview the audience who came out of the cinema.

"It's so perfect! I don't know how to describe it. This is the most beautiful and strange movie I have ever seen. It has a strong Chinese style. I suggest everyone must watch it!"

"So beautiful! Zhou Yi is the greatest actor in the world. The Gongsun Yao he plays is as powerful, wise and beautiful as the goddess Athena. This movie makes me excited and I am still watching it. I have become Zhou Yi's most loyal fan!"

"I filmed outside the cinema for two hours. I was still very angry when I sat in the seat, but now, I don't regret it at all! It is a very excellent work. Zhou Yi is a very outstanding actor. I think there is no suspense about this year's Palme d'Or!"

The audiences who came out of the theater had a blush of excitement on their faces. Many people waved their arms and had a strong desire to share and talk to others, because they brought them too much shock, pure and stunning exotic style, extremely beautiful dance, and compact plot. Everything is making adrenaline secretion accelerate and enjoy watching it.

"Serina, what do you think of this movie?" Victor asked to his daughter beside him.

"Great! Zhou Yi is worthy of being my idol. His performance is so cool, especially Jianwu. It's like doing magic or a superpower. I'm following Jianying and completely forgot the time!" The little fan girl Serena said excitedly: "Dad, I think you'd better win this movie, it will definitely cause a movie viewing frenzy!"

"It's indeed beyond my best expectations. This is a movie that seems to be magical, which makes people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves." Victor nodded: "It seems that I'm going to hurry up and talk to Zhou Yi."

The top three ticket stores in the entire world are undoubtedly the United States, China and Europe.

mk2 is undoubtedly a giant in the European film market, especially in literary and artistic films, with almost no rivals.

Such a work with a strong exotic style not only has its own characteristics in literature and art, but also has a very coherent storyline. The plot is tense and exciting. The two-hour movie has almost no peeing points. It can be said to be a mature commercial film.

You should know that the box office of literary and artistic films is not very good. This is a global problem. They are not subject to human will. Even if it is very mature in the film market, it is the same in Europe, where there are many literary and artistic film enthusiasts.

Over the years, many works at the Palme d'Ornacle Awards have been unacceptable and there are too many examples of unsatisfactory box offices.

However, Victor keenly realized that this movie is indeed a very rare masterpiece that combines artistic and commerciality, and the box office of the movie is likely to exceed many people's expectations.

On that day, five shows were released, and each scene was full. The number of viewers exceeded 10,000 in one day, setting a new peak for this Cannes Film Festival and almost impossible to surpass.

Faced with such a situation, major media obviously reported it as soon as possible, especially the Chinese media.

"The world premiere is full and everyone is looking forward to it. After the premiere, the audience stood up and applauded, and the sound was as loud as thunder!"

"There were long queues outside the cinema, and many people waited for two hours to enter!"

"The grand and prosperous Tang Dynasty is full of beauty and beautiful! There was a beautiful lady named Gongsun, who danced a sword to move around the world! Zhou Yi performed the perfect Gongsun family, which is a classic Chinese movie!"

...

Major media sent the reports back to China, accompanied by various pictures on the scene, a long queue, a full seat, a bustling crowd, and an excited look on the audience's faces.

Since the Spring Festival Gala, Zhou Yi has been among the top superstars. No matter how boring the news related to him is, people will click to read it more.

At this Cannes Film Festival, the Chinese people naturally had great high expectations for Zhou Yi.

And now the reports sent back from the front seem to have caused a huge sensation and were very successful!

You should know that it is not just a simple movie. Zhou Yi's novels read and serialized on QQ and Qidian have exceeded one million words, and are about to end and are coming to an end.

Nowadays, the average booking of novels exceeds 1.5 million, and it is still rising continuously, ranking first in the monthly ticket list. It has been ahead of the market since it was put on the shelves and has reached four consecutive championships. The huge gap makes people unable to give up the idea of ​​competition.

It has become a phenomenal super IP. Even if it is adapted and filmed casually, many people will go to the cinema to watch it.

And now, the movie has fired its first shot at the Cannes Film Festival and has become a strong contender for the Palme d'Or!

This is really exciting news.

From to, from to, in just over a year, Zhou Yi has grown from an unknown little person to a superstar with great popularity around the world!

After the premiere, the entire crew fell into a very busy state.

Interviews from various media reporters, contacts and negotiations from various film dealers, gatherings and activities organized by various organizations, invitations flying over like snowflakes.

After urgent sorting, a group of contacts that could not be rejected and were very worthy of expanding their connections were screened out. Then the crew broke up and went to socialize separately.

As the most well-known and most attention-oriented Zhou Yi is naturally the busiest one.

And now, he and Sun Qingtong are holding an important negotiation in the hotel conference room of mk2 Company.

"Congratulations, Miss Sun and Mr. Zhou, as far as I know, not only has it caused a sensation in Cannes, but it has also been favored by many judges of the jury. I will definitely not return empty-handed this year!" Victor, president of mk2, congratulated with a smile.

The nine judges of the jury were naturally determined. They were in a completely closed environment. Until the award was issued, the idle people could not get in touch with them, let alone know their preferences and tendencies.

Victor's words undoubtedly demonstrated his influence and informedness.

Zhou Yi smiled slightly. It seems that the rumors that mk2 company has a huge influence on the Cannes Film Festival are really not groundless.

In fact, mk2 is the biggest sponsor behind the Cannes Film Festival. The two achieve each other and support each other. Even the invitation and determination of the festival judges every year are largely the presence of mk2.

"That's really worth looking forward to!" Zhou Yi picked up the wine glass and touched Victor gently: "I feel much more at ease now."

"Although I am a film businessman, I have watched art movies for thirty years." Victor wore a small red and black striped dress, a black bow, and a pair of black-framed glasses. He looked gentle and kind, very much like a filmmaker: "I'm very optimistic. This is a very distinctive movie!"

"Last year, we had a great cooperation." Zhou Yi gently drank amber agate-like red wine.

"If possible, I hope to hand over the copyrights throughout Europe to us this year!" Victor said his true purpose.

Victor is a film businessman, naturally for money and interests.

However, for Zhou Yi, money is not the most important thing. Fame and fortune are the first priority.

"We are old friends, aren't we?" Zhou Yi showed a sweet smile: "I'm very greedy when I come to Cannes this time and want to win the three trophys of the Palme d'Or, the Best Director and the Best Actress!"

The most important award at the Cannes Film Festival is undoubtedly the highest Palme d’Or, the second-place jury award, and then the best director, actor, actress, and actress. The rest are all small awards.

Among these five grand prizes, the Palme d’Or and the jury can only win one at most, and Zhou Yi said there were three grand prizes, which is really a bit... insatiable!

Sun Qingtong was a little stunned. She actually analyzed the possibility of winning the award.

You should know that all film festivals are a stage for sharing cakes, and it is impossible for you to dominate the family and take all the important awards home.

After all, so many directors and actors are staring at these awards every year.

The best possibility is to win the Palme d'Or and the Cannes Best Actress, which is equivalent to a complete victory and a complete return with absolute reputation.

But unexpectedly, Zhou Yi said that he not only had the Palme d'Or Award and the Cannes Best Actress, but also wanted to win another Best Director!

The director you should know is himself!

"Tsk tsk!" Victor shook his head gently: "Mr. Zhou, you are really good at joking!"

No matter how powerful mk2 company is, it is just a way to go with the flow in award evaluation and adding icing on the cake. He is not the emperor behind the Cannes Film Festival, so he makes whatever decision he wants.

If Victor wouldn't have said that before he had not been so outstanding and had already received some news from several judges.

"Mr. Victor! I don't think this is a joke! If it is a phenomenal movie, it would be an exaggeration to win many awards! The 70th Oscar in 1998 won a total of 11 Little Golden Man!" Serena began to speak out for her idol.

"Cannes is not an Oscar, nor is it!" Victor looked at Zhou Yi seriously: "Five grand prizes, one is not a big problem, two are very suspenseful, and three are almost impossible! This is the most important balance, not something I can break!"

"It's up to people! Mr. Victor!" Zhou Yi laughed: "I'm so confident in it!"

"The chairman of the jury this time is an American!" Victor spread his hands and shrugged: "You know."

"In any case, thank you Mr. Victor for your enthusiasm, just be clear about your conscience!" Zhou Yi put down his wine glass: "Let's talk about the copyright!"

Finally, after negotiation, all copyrights in Europe were transferred to mk2 for a price of 3 million euros.

Compared to last year's, it's a full five times higher, but compared to the real value, it's at least cut in the middle.

But it doesn’t matter. Zhou Yi cares more about the awards. The more the better, I want them all.

After the contract was actually signed, Victor finally let go. He would do his best to operate and strive to meet Zhou Yi's request.

"Mr. Zhou, your competition for the Best Actress Award has caused a huge sensation around the world and is very topical. In addition, the performance of the Best Actress Award is very outstanding, so the Best Actress Award is the least difficult. The Palme d’Or is moderately difficult, and it depends on whether there are particularly outstanding movies in the subsequent series. However, if you can’t win the Palme d’Or, there is no big problem with the jury award. But the best director has little hope, and Miss Sun is still too young..."

Victor analyzed.

"Anyway, thanks for your help."

"I just did a little insignificant analysis as a movie lover." Victor waved his hand: "Just chat a little, just listen."
