Chapter 1132 (1/2)

Before Simon finished his overseas trip, the 50th Cannes Film Festival of 1997 officially opened on May 14.

50th birthday is of great significance.

Under the planning of the Cannes organizing committee, both the scale of film registration, the scale of the film exhibition and the number of guests are unprecedented, and tourists from all over the world are crowding the small city of Cannes.

On the other hand, this Cannes Film Festival is also another development of danielis entertainment.

First of all, among the 21 films shortlisted for the main competition, only two are directly produced by Denise Entertainment's brand. They are ”soul shifting girl” directed by James Mangold, starring MIA Kirchner and Angelina Jolie, and ”six heroes of the light pig” directed by British rookie director Peter cartanew.

In addition, Canadian director atum eagoyan's new work ”unexpected spring”, which was produced by independent film makers and quietly bought by danielis entertainment, also entered the main competition unit.

Simon likes the film ”sexy club” by igojan three years ago. Mia koshner is the heroine of that film. This time, ”unexpected spring” is also a very good low-cost feature film.

As a result, danielis entertainment actually has three films shortlisted in the Cannes main competition.

Now that three movies have been released, danielis entertainment is not going to go home empty handed.

Since the preparation of the new film festival a few months ago, Denise entertainment has begun to exert its own influence quietly. In addition to the operation of the film itself, including the judges, Denise entertainment has directly or indirectly intervened.

Let's say that the 10 judges, Tim Burton of Hollywood, actress Mira sowino, Gong Huang from China, and British director Mike Lee, are all candidates for danielis entertainment to exert direct influence. This time, Isabel ajani, the chairman of the jury, is definitely not the kind of filmmaker who doesn't like oil and salt.

Half of the ten can speak, and the result is basically certain.

Simon's goal this time is ”the six heroes of the pig” to hit the highest golden palm.

Although the style of this film, which once made a miracle at the box office in the UK, tends to be comic, it indirectly attacks the social situation of a large number of public unemployment caused by the industrial recession in the UK through the absurd story of several unemployed workers trying to pursue the career of male dancers, and its humanistic connotation is no less than any other film.

Therefore, it will not be abrupt for the six heroes of the light pig to get the golden palm.

It once broke the box office record of the United Kingdom. This time, if there is golden palm blessing, the box office performance of the film in other markets outside the United Kingdom will be even better.

And then there's soul shifting girl.

In addition to Angelina Jolie's crazy performance, Winona Ryder's version of soul shifting girl has no other highlights.

This time, Simon changed the heroine from Winona Ryder to Mia koshna, who was born with a neurotic flavor. Compared with the original Angelina Jolie, Mia koshna can be said to be tit for tat with Julie, and successfully achieved the balance with Julie with a kind of introverted and exoteric contradictory neuroticism.

In addition, Simon personally checked the film this time, and the quality of the film has risen significantly.

Since ”six heroes of the pig” focuses on Palmetto, of course ”soul shifting girl” will no longer try to reach the three core awards. Its main goal is the actor award.

Whether MIA or Julie wins the prize, it will be good for the release of the film at the end of August.

In addition to these shortlisted films, there is also crouching tiger, hidden dragon, which Simon likes more in private.

Cannes.

Cannes Film Palace on the seashore of the small town, on the afternoon of May 17, although it did not declare any competition units, the premiere of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon was very lively.

Dressed in a Gucci gold low cut dress, Li Youhu gets out of the concierge car, looks at the huge poster of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon above the Movie Palace, and then looks at the dense media and fans on both sides of the red carpet outside Debussy hall. Listening to the cheers in his ears, he suddenly feels that last year's hard shooting, which he almost didn't want to live, is completely worth it.

When the director and the other two stars get out of the car one after another, Li Youhu steps forward and steps on the red carpet with everyone. Then he stops to take photos with the help of the accompanying assistant on one side of the red carpet. The intense flashing lights make people dizzy.

After shooting, as soon as he left the red carpet and entered the Movie Palace, Li Youhu had a feeling that he immediately began to look forward to the next time.

However, when entering the screening hall, with the premiere ceremony started, Li Youhu was worried again.

Li Youhu can understand that filmmakers have to rely on movies to speak.

What if the audience doesn't like the movie?

So for the next two hours, when most of the people in the projection hall focused on the big screen, Li Youhu's attention turned around frequently, repeatedly pretending to look at the reaction of the audience around him unintentionally, and stood up to listen to the voices around him. Even if the light was dim, she could hardly understand French.When the subtitles finally began to rise, Li Youhu felt that no one was cheering. He should It's not bad.

All right.

This idea is really worthless.

When the light came on, there was warm applause in the projection hall. Li Youhu was not sure. Is this polite?

Until the following brief interaction.

Li Youhu, the director and other creators came to the stage together. In the face of the enthusiastic questions from the media and the audience, Li Youhu finally let down his heart after listening to the real-time translation of the ladies around him.

All of these people obviously approve of the film.

In this case, the box office of the film in Europe and America should be good.

It's evening after the premiere.

And then there's an official reception for Denise entertainment.

After Li Youhu left the Movie Palace, he did not rush to the party Hotel immediately. Instead, he went back to a mansion in the west of the city with Mr. Yu, who accompanied her this time. The main purpose was to change clothes and eat something. After all, the reception is definitely not suitable for eating.

After entering the room, Li Youhu let the waitress help him to take off his expensive dress. Li Youhu fell down on the sofa in the living room in his underwear. He was excited and tired. He stretched his body freely. Seeing Teacher Yu sitting down beside him, he said with a smile, ”sister Yu, do you envy me?”

Just as an ordinary audience, teacher Yu gave her a white look, took a sip of soda from the waitress and said, ”you'd better change your clothes quickly.”

”No hurry,” Li Youhu sat up, folded his legs on the sofa and said, ”we'll go there after dinner, but I'm very hungry.”

Mr. Yu was noncommittal.
