Movie tycoon

Chapter 810
It can be said that this Palme d'Or is the last big show of the Cannes awards. This Palme d'Or is the grand prize that countless people want to win.

Chen Xiaotang also wanted to win it, but he knew very well that he had just won the best director, and anyone who knew the rules would know that it was impossible to award the next award to him, otherwise it would be too heaven-defying.In a way, winning the best director for himself may be a consolation prize. In order to make way for the Palme d'Or, in Chen Xiaotang's mind, the next Palme d'Or is likely to be produced in several Soviet films. After all, tonight It was the peak period of Soviet films, and "Jurassic" did not have the advantage of art films. It is probably enough to win the jury award, just like myself, I am also very content to win the best director.

Talented people like Chen Xiaotang think this way, and of course other people think the same way, so everyone focuses their attention on literary films with high artistic content. After all, Cannes is a famous holy place for literary films. Seek more or less artistic content.

At this time, the award presenter was Gilles Eiffel, the judging chair of the conference.

Eiffel came to the stage and looked at the countless guests and said with a smile: "There have been a lot of art films in this year's Cannes, and we have all enjoyed these films. A temple of art, Cannes is becoming more and more cosmopolitan, international and literary!"

"The door of Cannes is always open to you. As long as you can make a good film, you can get great glory and glory here! Cannes belongs to the world, and the world belongs to you! You can use cameras to record all the stories happening around the world, And this is where you tell your story."

"Okay, I won't talk so much nonsense, lest the big guys think I'm long-winded, ha ha... Now let me announce the last award of this year, which is the list of winners of the Palme d'Or!" Under the silence, Eiffel raised the sealed answer in his hand, scanned the nominated teams with burning eyes, then slowly opened the envelope, looked carefully, and then stared down and shouted: "No.40 The three-time Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or winner is..."

Although Chen Xiaotang really wanted to not care too much about this award, but sometimes people may not be able to control themselves, his heart is so high, even though he knows that his hope is not great, and he has already won the award he most desires. He won the best director award, but deep down, he still has some hopes...

"The winner of the Palme d'Or is..." Eiffel obviously didn't know that his method of whetting his appetite was quite high, and with the use of music to mobilize the mood of the scene, it was almost at its peak.He suddenly yelled: "Havoc in Heaven!"

In an instant, Chen Xiaotang's heart was beating fast, he was a little confused at that moment, he couldn't believe that he scored twice and won the award again!And won the biggest Cannes Palme d'Or! !

At this moment, a ridiculous thought popped into his mind: Could it be that the judges stuffed the wrong envelope? !

When Chen Xiaotang was in a daze, the fat man next to him, Wang Jing, was very anxious, kicked Chen Xiaotang hard from below, and reminded him: "Why are you still in a daze, hurry up and get on stage!"

Only then did Chen Xiaotang wake up, he really won the prize!
Standing up somewhat unnaturally, Chen Xiaotang bowed gentlemanly to everyone, and walked onto the stage.

At this time, Eiffel on the stage was explaining why the film won the award.

"As we all know, Cannes has always been dominated by art films, and we strongly support art films. The reason why the Palme d'Or will be awarded this time to "Havoc in Heaven", a 3D blockbuster with great commercial value and box office , the reason is very simple, what we see from it is not only business, but also art!"

"I don't know if you have noticed the use of Chinese classical landscape paintings in this play, the dynamic beauty in the martial arts action editing, and whether you can see the unique conception of this play... I can say now that this "" Havoc in Heaven is actually a commercially packaged art film!"

……

The guests in the audience listened quietly to Eiffel's provocative narration. Among them were some old opponents of Moying Entertainment. Now they all have to admit that the Chinese film "Havoc in Heaven" does have Very strong sense of art!

Alright, Chen Xiaotang is going to go on stage to say a few more words, he can't just say two or three words on stage like he won the best director just now, it's not fun!

Ever since, Chen Xiaotang took the stage again, and facing all the audience, as well as the more than one billion viewers around the world in front of the TV, said: "I really didn't expect that I would win this year's Palme d'Or! I'm so excited! Everyone If I want to say a few more words, I really don’t know what to say. I have always been very grateful to those who silently supported me behind the scenes, especially those fans of music and movies. Without you, I would not be where I am today!”

"Actually, from the moment I came back, I just told myself, Chen Xiaotang, you have been linked to movies all your life, and you can't get rid of them. No matter how your status changes, you will always be a filmmaker! "

"Yes, I am a filmmaker. I love movies, and I love this kind of creative career that brings entertainment to everyone. One day when I am old, I will tell myself that your movies have recorded all of your In this way, as filmmakers, we are more fortunate than ordinary people, because we have enough memories to cherish the past!"

"I didn't shoot this film as an art film, so I was surprised to win the Palme d'Or. Because I always believe that art films can only please a small number of audiences, while commercial films are more popular. Here I am not saying that there is anything wrong with art films. On the contrary, this type of film is the best weapon to cleanse the human soul. However, what I personally focus on is the shooting and development of commercial films. Many people say that because I love money too much , I love to pursue the box office too much. I don’t deny this point. I’ve said it before. I’m a filmmaker and a businessman. I created Moying Entertainment. I want to feed thousands of people in Moying Entertainment. The sensitive issue of benefit is considered when making a film. Now, I have succeeded, and I am standing on this stage, and have won the highest recognition in the art field of Cannes. The result!"

"The earth is turning every minute and every second. As filmmakers, we are creating every moment, bringing you fairy tale dreams, vivid stories, and comfort... Movies are a very magical Things that can heal wounds, please people, cleanse hearts, and benefit the public. I love movies, and I love you audiences even more, because you are the original motivation for me to create movies! So here I want to say the last sentence, that It's just—thank you!" Chen Xiaotang bowed in gratitude and held up the trophy.

As Chen Xiaotang's words fell to the ground, everyone applauded. At this moment, what everyone wants to express is congratulations and encouragement to Chen Xiaotang, because he let everyone know, what is a real filmmaker! ! !

Finally, in the thunderous applause, Chen Xiaotang announced a sentence: "I welcome all aspiring filmmakers from all over the world to come to Hong Kong, and our film investment Yinhuang will pave the way for your film career, including capital, manpower and material resources. Prepared for you, come on, Hong Kong is the place where you fly with wings, welcome you in Hong Kong, welcome you in Phantom!!!"

Boom!
Public poaching!
And it is poaching the corners of film companies all over the world!

Chen Xiaotang's words are like an oath, declaring that Hong Kong has opened up to world films, has successfully integrated into the world stage, and has taken on the important task of film aircraft carrier!

The applause was even worse than just now!

World sensation!

After Chen Xiaotang's speech, filmmakers from all over the world who were reluctant to come to Hong Kong finally flocked to Hong Kong, and even Hollywood inevitably lost some talents.I can't blame Fatty Wang for saying: "I'd rather believe that there are ghosts in the world than Lafite Chen's mouth! He can make all the filmmakers in the world half-dead, and they are all caught by him!!"

That night, Eiffel, the chairman of the French Cannes Jury, gave a comment on this year's Cannes: "This is a night for Chinese-language films! Although we always knew that this day would come, we did not expect it to be so fast!"

No one expected it to be so fast, not even Chen Xiaotang.But he overlooked one thing. When he appeared, Hong Kong films were already in the development period.His appearance was a variable, stabilizing the market and changing everything that could damage Hong Kong films.Under such circumstances, it is inevitable for Hong Kong films to continue to maintain a high performance.

"A brilliant night for Chinese-language films or Hong Kong films!" Many newspapers and magazines respectively picked up Eiffel's comments, and regarded this year as Hong Kong films' official entry into multiracial complexity.

It means that Hong Kong has been developing with all its strength for these years. After this night, through the demonstration of its strength and the success of Chen Xiaotang, it announced to the world that Hong Kong has become the second place in the world that can attract overseas talents. The film center of filmmakers has the strength to challenge Hollywood.

Why can Hollywood continue to develop and become the supreme palace in the hearts of filmmakers around the world?Technology and technology, a sound film system and a huge and rich cycle of funds, as well as a strong market and appeal.

How can Hong Kong challenge Hollywood?In terms of technology and technology, after many years of cultivating various talents and research at all costs, it will definitely be able to compete with Hollywood.In terms of funds, the film investment bank established by Moying Entertainment is enough to prove everything.

Mention the market?Hong Kong films have markets all over the world, but Hollywood cannot enter Hong Kong anyway.When it comes to the improvement of the film system, Hong Kong's film system cannot be said to be fully mature, but it has definitely taken shape.And the most important thing is that prop artists and lighting engineers who were not valued in Hong Kong can get the honor and attention they deserve.In Hong Kong, the director center system created by Chen Xiaotang can definitely attract Hollywood directors.

Perhaps it is better to say that the only place where Hong Kong movies are not enough to challenge Hollywood lies in the level of salary!But this definitely does not refer to the remuneration of the behind-the-scenes staff.In this regard, Specter has definitely done a very good job, leading Hong Kong to raise the remuneration of the behind-the-scenes staff to the due price over the years, instead of polarizing with the stars like Hollywood.

The next day, Chen Xiaotang led the team triumphantly and was "warmly entertained" by the reporters at the airport.

Faced with this kind of enthusiasm, Chen Xiaotang kept silent, but pushed Fatty Wang out again as a meat shield.

Fatty Wang is neither stupid nor stupid. He couldn't handle it by himself, so he dragged everyone into the water together. The meaning was obvious, and he was going to die!So, the old man Huang Zhan, the weird Xu Ke, Brother Fa, and Liu Dehua all became guns to fight back against the reporters, and they were used as guns by the fat man, making everyone's mouth dry.Fatty showed his salty and wet side very coquettishly, and asked the reporter: "I heard that French girls are very romantic, but unfortunately I don't have time to play here! Do you have a good introduction?" Immediately kill those gossip reporters Became a pimp.

After returning to Hong Kong, Chen Xiaotang and his group received a heroic triumphant reception. The Hong Kong governor came, people from Xinhua News Agency came, and even Shao Daheng, Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun and others also came to greet them. Comparable to the head of state.

Outside the airport, a lot of people have gathered, most of them are reporters. Seeing Chen Xiaotang coming out of the airport, although many reporters wanted to come up and "siege" him, but seeing the eight bodyguards beside him, they finally pressed down. In order to satisfy his own desires, he could only watch helplessly as he walked into the waiting hall first under the welcome of the Governor of Hong Kong, Shao Daheng and others.

Greetings and acceptance of celebrations were inevitable, everyone's enthusiasm made Chen Xiaotang a little unbearable, so he had no choice but to get in Shao Daheng's special car halfway, and took the opportunity to escape.

Inside the car, Shao Daheng couldn't help but smile at the sweaty young film tycoon, and expressed great sympathy for his current situation, alas, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, who made you so popular.

"Ahem, Sixth Uncle, can you stop looking at me like this, it makes me feel really embarrassed!" Chen Xiaotang couldn't help but said.

Shao Daheng smiled, "What's there to be ashamed of, you have made money for Hong Kong, and you have also made money for Chinese-language movies. Everyone regards you as a hero, and you should be!"

"I'm dizzy. That's why I can't stand it, too much enthusiasm will seem strange!"

"Okay, you're sweating profusely, do you want to blow some air by the river?" Shao Daheng said and asked the driver to park the car by the Xiangjiang River.

The two got out of the car together, and the bodyguards around were waiting in full force, waiting on both sides.

The cool breeze blowing from the river makes people feel happy.

"A Tang, do you feel that Hong Kong is no longer the Hong Kong of the past?"

"No, nothing has changed much," Chen Xiaotang looked at Xiangjiang and said, "It just developed a little faster and became more prosperous than before."

"No, I'm talking about the future of Hong Kong..." Shao Daheng said softly against the wind, "The reason why I gave up movies and made TV instead was because I saw that the prospects for movies were not good. It will become silent after ten years of glory. But I was wrong, the current Hong Kong movies in dialect will only be better than before!"

Shao Daheng seemed to be very depressed about his inaccurate predictions, but Chen Xiaotang almost laughed out loud, it's not that you are always inaccurate in predictions, but because of my appearance against the sky, otherwise the current Hong Kong movies are probably really like yours, and they are completely devastated!
"Oh, that's why I'm old, and the world of this movie will be yours from now on!" Shao Daheng sighed, "A Tang, do you know that from the moment you won an award in Cannes, your reputation has been like this Xiangjiang It will be handed down forever! And this is an achievement that I have been pursuing for my whole life and can't achieve!"

Chen Xiaotang could understand Shao Daheng's mood, and at the same time, he suddenly realized that the burden on his shoulders became heavier and heavier.The original cynical mood after his comeback disappeared in Shao Daheng's sincere words.

A long way to go!
Facing the vast Xiangjiang River, Chen Xiaotang suddenly came up with such an idea!
