At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 477 The Promise Has Been Fulfilled

"I've said almost everything I should have said, and there's no point in staying..."

"The European distribution of "Carol" is handed over to MK2, and the Asian distribution is handed over to Golden Harvest to discuss... After the Cannes debut, it will definitely be no problem to pay back!"

Shen Xudong returned to the hotel in Cannes, surrounded by a group of media, and probably answered a few questions...

"Then Xudong, do you think "Carol" can win the Palme d'Or?"

"I don't know...it depends on what the judges think!"

There were a lot of media, Shen Xudong hurried into the room, and said: "I will know the result tomorrow... we will tell you then!"

Then I hurried into the hotel...

Security guards kept the media out.

Seeing Gong Li, he couldn't help complaining: "Why are there so many media?"

Gong Li did not answer this question, but instead asked: "...you went to Paris?"

"Yes, I went to play for three days!"

"...You can really do it," Gong Li was speechless: "Aren't you here to sell movies?"

"It's almost the same. The combined North American copyrights sold for $1200 million..."Taken" sold for $800 million, "Manslaughter" for $220 million, and "The Tailor" for $180 million..."

"Republic of China" and "New World" did not sell...

Shen Xudong is still very responsible. Before the task of selling the film is completed, it is impossible for him to leave!
"Hey, you haven't said it yet, why are there so many media?"

"We have received the invitation letter for the closing ceremony, and we will definitely win an award... They have also received the news, so come here for an interview!"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "...I will know the specific result tomorrow, can't I wait a day?"

Gong Li looked at him curiously, and asked, "Have you not been online recently?"

"Yes, I went out to play without a computer!"

"...Then go back and take a look and you'll know!"

……

what do you know?
Turn on the computer, the whole network... the whole network is a bit exaggerated, the entertainment section is basically discussing "Carol", just like a bunch of people discussing "Dragon Horse Spirit" before...

Jackie Chan is really amazing, a bunch of celebrities cameo, Wu Jing all came and said, "When I went to Hong Kong from the mainland, thanks to your care; I became popular and became a star, thanks to your reminder back then"...

It's so embarrassing to think that we really don't know how Wu Jing got along in those years?

Wu Jing is in Hong Kong. If you want to talk about taking care of him, Sammo Hung has taken care of him a lot. "Slaying the Wolf", "Capturing the Commander", and "Gemini Thief" are all collaborations between the two of them!
What did Jackie Chan take care of?

In those years, every time a new movie was released, he picked up topics and scolded traffic stars, but you can see for yourself, his movies in those years were not uncommonly used by traffic stars!
In order to make a living for the "Family Class" brothers, as long as they can still play, they will strive for a new play a year, but at the age of nearly 70, they still have to continue to act as the leading actor with the most roles. Didn't let the old brothers become more famous and show their faces...

In Jackie Chan's films, he is almost always the only one, at most a "dragon girl" heroine in a vase, and everything else is tool people.

pull back...

Shen Xudong roughly browsed the news on the Internet, and it can be seen that everyone is very interested in "Carol"...

After thinking about it, he opened his blog and wrote an article "Why should I be Carol"...

From the choice of subject matter, it echoes the ideological trend of Laomei in recent years, and of course there is also a part that returns Gongli's favor.

In the end, I wrote that "Carol" is actually a high-quality vulgar romance film. We don't talk about politics, and we rarely even discuss their respective family lives... "Brokeback Mountain", the family lives of the two protagonists are all discussed. The portrayal is full and clear, even if there is not too much narration of the relationship between the two, it also sets off the forbidden love as epic as the sound of nature. From this perspective, "Carol" is not as good as "Brokeback Mountain" of…'

'So, the grand prize is unlikely, but I think the actor award is a sure thing! '

Well, this is the first time that I have so directly expressed my 'prediction'.

No worries about being slapped in the face afterwards.

……

"Carol" received the invitation letter, but Lou Ye did not receive the invitation letter, and returned home with Guo Xiaodong and Hao Lei...

Without leaving any mark, "Summer Palace" seems to have never been to Cannes...

This is not quite accurate. It should be said that "The Summer Palace" has not left any mark, except for the rumors of Deng Chao and Hao Lei's breakup...

The crew of "Night Banquet" also returned to China, and it is said that the film was very successful.

Publicly declared that 'Currently, Warner and Weinstein in the United States have contacted us, and what they have shown them is a rough cut of the full film. Although the contract in North America has not yet been signed, we have already done so with the pre-sale of copyrights in Europe and Asia. The investment of 1500 million U.S. dollars has been recovered, and it will be a net profit if it is released in China in the future! '

Didn't sign it?
I asked Feng Xiaogang, okay, a deposit of 20 US dollars has been paid...

Feng Xiaogang also asked him, 'Is Harvey really a liar? '

"Your film is sold and the deposit has been paid. Even if he is a liar, what can he do?"

Shen Xudong didn't want to bother, and he wasn't going to get involved...

As the film festival draws to a close, the hustle and bustle gradually subsides, groups come and go, and the small town is quite empty.

However, the red carpet for the closing ceremony still attracted a lot of media. On the red carpet, "Carol" was still very popular because of Gong Li. Apart from "Carol", "Babel Tower" was undoubtedly the most popular, because of the presence of Gong Li. Rad Pitt…

Shen Xudong is quite curious about "Babel Tower". Of course, the reason for his curiosity is mainly due to the director of the film: Alessandro Gonzalez Inarritu.

Just the Mexican director who later won the Oscar for Best Director!
But his work relies more on the talented screenwriter Guillermo Arriga.

After parting ways, Inarritu filmed "Beautiful Mistake" on his own, and almost died in a mess.So I played to the extreme, and I shot the masterpiece "Birdman" that everyone said was going to die, and since then I have embarked on a god-like road of no return.

Guillermo Arriga himself directed "The Burning Plain".

Forget it, anyway, these people are far away from Shen Xudong!
Entering the hall, after waiting for about 15 minutes, the jury finally arrived and the awards ceremony officially began.

The award ceremony in Cannes is very short, there is no gag by the host, but there is also a long speech by the host.

Something like 'tonight, we're together for the movie; tonight, we're for the movie' blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

And speak French!

Shen Xudong almost couldn't hold back his yawn, it was finally over, and then a young local French star came on stage and presented the first award: the Golden Camera Award.

The first two awards have nothing to do with "Carol", the Golden Camera Award, the FIPRESCI Award...

It belongs to the warm-up session, and by the way, we will introduce the new generation of French stars!

Next, the nine members of the jury made an appearance, and after another thanksgiving movie, they entered the dinner—the first one to be awarded was the jury award.

The jury award is also called the jury award, which is equivalent to the excellent film award. It belongs to a non-established category and is different from the jury award.

And then... "Carol" actually won an award!

Shen Xudong was taken aback...

Because according to common sense, it is impossible to win other awards after winning the jury award!

Gong Li obviously also thought of it. Although he smiled and hugged director Todd Haynes, it was obvious that he was holding on.

Shen Xudong patted her hand and comforted; "It's okay... I think Wang Jiawei might bring a surprise!"

Gong Li didn't answer...

But the slightly trembling hands still exposed her unwillingness...

15 minutes later, Shen Xudong's statement was confirmed—Wang Jiawei did bring a surprise to Cannes: the big batch of actresses!
The Return: Penelope Cruz, Maura Carmen, Laura Dunas, Blanca Portillo, Yohanna Cobb, Darz Lemporeva; Carol: Gong Li , Evan Rachel Wood…

That's right, the seven actresses of the two films all won best actresses!

It was Samuel Jackson who announced the list of winners. He was famous for his fast speech. When he announced the end, the audience fell into a strange silence, and then he realized
Gong Li was stunned for a long time before being reminded by Evan, he got up and hugged, and then the two went to the stage together...

Guess what, it's depressing.

It's too much, the Golden Rooster Award is three yolk eggs at most, you just wholesale it?

Don't worry, the actor is also a wholesaler: "Glory Days" five actors won awards together...
