Chapter 230 The Great Director (3/5)

The three major Asian countries, China, Japan and South Korea, each country has its own filmmakers.

Naomi Kawase is the two most international directors in the Japanese-bene film industry. They are both direct descendants of Cannes - Takeshi Kitano, Takeshi Kitano is the direct descendant of Venice, and Mark Muller has invested in his firm...

Therefore, Zhang Weipin said that "The Good People in the Three Gorges" won the Golden Lion because of Mark Muller's investment. Although it is not very accurate, it does have an investment. The investor of "The Good People in the Three Gorges" is Takeshi Kitano...

Naomi Kawase is the kind of director who spends a lot of effort to make small movies.

Her works always reveal a fresh, elegant, quiet and graceful feminine atmosphere. The content discusses life and death, existing problems, and focuses on creating a sense of dreaminess and experimentation in color and photography...

No story...

But her movies are always shortlisted for Cannes…

This was a big temptation for Yui Aragaki.

...

You may not believe it. In fact, Cannes attaches great importance to the Chinese market. You should know that the official website has only four languages: French, English, Chinese, and Spanish...

There is no German, no intention, no Japanese!

After all, it is the second largest film market.

You will know after you have been to Cannes. The only thing you can compete with Hollywood super blockbusters outside the Movie Palace is the only big Chinese movies!

The poster is a big deal, and Hollywood can't even beat us on the homepage of the magazine.

rich!

That's really rich!

Which movie do you guess is the biggest poster?

That’s right, it’s “New Police Story” – Brother Cheng Long takes over the C position!

In fact, in the past few days, Boss Lu has been as relaxed as possible. Looking at Lu Xiaoran's life, it can actually be summarized in one word: tired!

As a man with auxiliary devices, he knew that the Chinese film market was about to win a huge opportunity.

Of course, you have to do something at this time!

So, I kept busy and busy, trying to get on the right track in such a major vent, and at the same time I hope to drive the entire film industry in China...

But living like this is really uninteresting!

Not to mention raising thin horses and golf and other high-level things, you should at least develop some hobbies!

Even the matter of raising a dog wasted, he thought it was delayed and sent back to his hometown...

Sometimes, think about it, what is the point of living like this?

But he also knew that once he returned to China, he would not be so leisurely...

...

Spielberg did not come, probably to avoid suspicion...

However, Li An is here, and Christian Monge, Nicole Kidman, Naomi Kawase...

Li An mainly chatted with Amou.

The content is probably:

Thank you Brother Amou for your appreciation - Ang Lee's four and three highest awards were won by Amou.

Not kidding.

The judges of "Wedding Banquet" back then were A Mou. At that time, Xie Fei's "Fragrant Soul Girl" and Li An's "Wedding Banquet" were both popular Golden Bear Award-winning, and they were stalemate in the jury voting.

It was Ah Mou who proposed to make the two movies tied with the Golden Bear...

In the end, Li An's "Wedding Banquet" and Xie Fei's "Fragrant Soul Girl" became a pair of yolk eggs, and they won the Golden Bear Award, the highest award at the Berlin International Film Festival!

"Lust and Caution" won the Venetian Golden Lion, and the chairman of the jury was A Mou again. At that time, the media also rumored that there was a lot of controversy within the jury. A Mou tried to disagree and gave the Golden Lion to "Lust and Caution"...

At the press conference afterwards, Li An's first words were, "Thank you, Director Zhang Yimou!"

Yui Aragaki got his wish and talked to Naomi Kawase as she wished.

Lu Xiaoran was chatting with Nicole Kidman, she liked "The Dark Side" very much...

It is very likely that "Louching" is also a big hit in North America...

"Luxing" won $26 million in box office in the first weekend for a cost of $3 million...

The industry predicts that it will be able to get at least $60 million in box office, and at the same time, more than 100 countries and regions around the world will be launched...

Wan Ziren is awesome!

However, these are just Lu Xiaoran's guesses. No matter what Nicole Kidman does, there is Tom Cruise to hype, so he won't have the idea of ​​making horror movies.

While chatting, Christian Monge came over, and Lu Xiaoran quickly picked up the wine glass and touched him...

Christian Monge is an interesting director.

Romanian director, who has won the Palme d'Or, is a typical Cannes filmmaker!

Just being in Cannes, never participating in Venice or Berlin...

And this person is very sensible and never complains about his work being unable to be sold...

He has been to China and served as a film judge for the Shanghai Film Festival. He envies the Chinese film environment...

"Romania's population is about 18 million, for example, 95% of the box office of 10 million were earned by Hollywood movies. In fact, we lost the film market twenty years ago. Now there are not many Romanian movies in the Romanian market. Romania has a difference with its neighboring Poland. Poland can make genre movies because there are enough audiences. Many of their genre movies are still very popular in Romania."

“…It’s because the market is big enough!”

"Yes, so you can establish a star system, but we can't do it. Few people watch Romanian movies!"

Lu Xiaoran nodded and said, "Actually, there should be viewers in China who are willing to watch movies like "Three Weeks and Two Days in April" and "Outside the Mountain".

"Really?"

"China has a population of 1.4 billion, of which more than 700 million are interested in movies. Many of them are interested in overseas literary and artistic and drama films. If you have any ideas, you can authorize them to us. We have nearly 100 cinemas in China, and you can try to show them."

"Well, I'll think about it seriously."

Well, this is the bribery...

"Outside the Mountain" and "Three Weeks and Two Days in April" are all works by Christian Monge. Of course, the copyright belongs to him at night. The so-called authorization requires an authorization fee...

Of course, you can also understand it as a movie communication...

...

Those who can be shortlisted for Cannes are basically considered author movies, and author movies are art films.

In a sense, the reason why French films declined was because of the good things done by the New Wave - desperately promoting literary and artistic films!

In 1957, Bazin made a direct remark in the "Movie Manual": the so-called author theory is nothing more than applying a theory that is widely recognized in other arts to films. It directly established a group of "author movies" and directly expanded its team.

Truffaut and Godard shook the flag and shouted, and immediately attracted a group of filmmakers. They all started the road of free creation with great enthusiasm. Each of them looked like a fighter and opened the "new wave" movement in the history of film.

Then French movies were completely defeated by Hollywood...

Literary and artistic movies and commercial movies are originally the two ends of the shoulder pole.

Hollywood is not without independent literary and artistic films, but the commercial blockbusters that ultimately rely on to capture cities and villages.

To praise a certain type of movie alone is a manifestation of the immaturity of the film market.

For a region and country's cultural industry, obscure and difficult-to-understand elite literature cannot resist the invasion of foreign popular culture!

Thinking back to our four great classics, you should understand that popular literature will obviously have greater influence, otherwise why are the four great classics not the "Book of Changes"?

Over there, Director Li Anda had almost talked with A Mou, and then walked over: "Director Lu!"

"…Hello, Director Lee."

Of course, Lu Xiaoran looked flattered...

"I watched "The Dark Side"... Are you interested in exploring human nature now?"

"...No, this is a script I wrote in the early years. I thought it was very interesting, so I took it out and filmed it."

"A story that is curious about killing a cat?"

"Yes, because there was no money at that time, I was thinking about how to save money and write..."

Li An nodded: "The creativity in poverty is really amazing!"

"…hehe."
Chapter completed!
