Chapter 418: The Trip to Cannes with Soy Sauce
Bu Fan smiled bitterly and said, "It's not improvisation, it's almost coming true. She is an actor who may not be like that, but can quickly get into the state when filming. That scene is a scene of revenge, so she really comes and fights!"
"After the panoramic shot, I took the close-up shot and only captured her face. I squatted down below to play with her, but she suddenly slapped and hit her hard. I later told the director that fortunately it wasn't a knife to stab me, otherwise I would definitely be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment tomorrow."
Everyone laughed, Bu Fan was relaxed and continued, "To be honest, this is the most tiring drama I have ever had!"
"I was exhausted and vomited on the third day of my trip. I had worn out two pairs of shoes every day. After the whole show, my assistant counted out thirty-seven pairs of shoes. The mountain was covered with stones, which were even better than a knife."
"In the past, I felt that no matter how hard it was, the director would be, or the worker would be, because the worker was doing physical labor, but this play was really harder than them. Almost from morning to night, it was my play."
"There was a scene, but now it seems that it has been edited. A mountain, I want to run up the hillside for 500 meters. The worker walked slowly and walked up with props. He was panting after he got down. And the scene was reshooted several times, and my tongue was so tired that I was about to stick out."
"I feel that this kind of war model that is similar to a person should be able to do artistic propaganda or type propaganda. What do you think is your hope for the film?"
"I didn't think too much about it when filming, so I wanted to shoot it first. Because it was difficult, the more I filmed, the more interesting it became. I was almost like a one-man show in it, and I only communicated with the cow, but it couldn't give you the usual reactions in human nature."
"For example, if you often have some actions or reactions like that, you have to add some improvisation, which is particularly interesting. This drama is different from the past and I think it's fun. The director joked that as long as I can finish this drama, I don't have to ask who my opponent is in the future?"
"Even if it's not human!"
......
Finally walked onto the highly anticipated Cannes red carpet.
Yan Ni held Bu Fan on the left and Guan Hu on the right. The three of them walked towards the flash with bright smiles on their faces and came without hesitation.
"We are really not favored by foreigners..."
"Look at the big Hollywood star, who was here just now?"
"Bufan, please slow down..."
"What are you doing when you walk so fast!"
Bu Fan's ears were full of Yan Ni's ramblings, and he couldn't help but whisper: "Sister, it's almost done!"
After seven or eight minutes, Bu Fan finally got the signature board. He sighed relieved and said helplessly: "What do you care about abroad? Our domestic media will be done after filming."
"Okay, okay."
Yan Ni took a deep breath and walked into the venue quickly. Suddenly, the ball seemed to be deflated and complained: "I have said that the dress was too tight, so I didn't dare to eat yesterday. I'm so tired!"
Bu Fan's face turned dark, and he didn't leave just now. Hurry up and find a seat to sit down and stop messing around.
This time, "Bullfighting" is the only one of Scorpion's Babas, and it is arranged in the middle and backward position.
There are foreigners around, so just shut up and wait for the award ceremony to begin.
It was the old routine again, the singing performance started, and then the chairman spoke, and all kinds of warm applause sounded, making a peaceful scene.
Because there weren't many expectations, Bu Fan was very relaxed. He came to France for the first time and had a good impression. He stayed for two more days after he finished and enjoyed the romantic capital.
Soon we came to the Best Foreign Language Film Unit, six films, three from Asia. Finally, the award presenter opened the envelope and shouted: "The winner is..."
"The Thief Family"
Bu Fan and Guan Hu looked at each other, but the miracle still did not happen. When the camera swept over, he smiled politely and applauded to celebrate the winner.
I have also watched that work myself, it is quite good. It is both warm and satirized and reflective about society.
The subject matter is relaxed and the audience looks more acceptable.
"Bullfighting" is destined to be a heavy and depressing feeling, and war is an eternal pain to the whole world.
From the perspective of the bystander, no matter how tragic the result is, casualties are just a number.
Being shortlisted is an unexpected surprise. Lan Xinling has begun to promote it, not only for the movie "Bullfighting", but mainly wants to improve his personality. He is a rare qualification to be shortlisted for the three major film festivals twice at the age of 26.
It's a bit like playing a game, brushing a copy, passing the level and getting a show-off achievement, and everyone else will look at you differently.
"Forget it, after all, it's not our place, and you can't play with others."
Guan Hu looked at the winner on the stage and said sourly: "There is one more thing like this, especially before it is released, it will definitely not be a loss!"
Yan Ni also smiled. This was her first time attending the Cannes Film Festival. Unexpectedly, she made a cameo appearance in a movie and actually met a dead mouse?
In short, this trip is worth it.
After that, Yan Ni returned to China directly and asked for leave from the crew. Guan Hu didn't stay for too long. The next day, she flew directly to Baodao, claiming to be in operation.
It was a rare trip. I took two little girls around while I had nothing to do, eating, drinking and having fun, and I returned to the capital a few days later.
After the company's operation and publicity, this trip to Cannes became a hot topic, and fans responded strongly and left various messages on Weibo.
"There is no movement for several months, and a new movie is finally released?"
"It's actually a war drama? It's worth looking forward to!"
"I just want to say: So you are Bufan like this..."
"Same as above!"
"Same as above!"
"Preat one!"
“Add one!”
After reading the comments, Bu Fan laughed and scolded: "You only know!"
And with a few gradual expressions, Bu Fan had the illusion of transforming from an airport popularity king to a blog prince.
......
Time flies, and half a month later bullfight is released. As a niche war film, Cannes saved a lot of publicity expenses at one time.
After four or five months of rest, it is time to start construction.
The variety show is in its final stage and two episodes are over. Huang Miyi and Zhang Kaitai performed well in the last stage performance and ranked among the top.
Su Zelin finally exposed the fatal shortcomings of poor basic skills. Unfortunately, he was transferred from Class A to Class B, which was impossible.
If nothing unexpected happens, the three newcomers can win two places, which can be considered as completing Lan Xinling's mission.
Less than ten days before the movie is released, it is scheduled for the May Day holiday, with seven or eight films competing for box office at the same time, and the competition is very large.
Guan Hu rushed back from Baodao and took him around to promote the public because he took advantage of the hot spots in Cannes and saved a lot of publicity expenses. The rest was roadshows across the country to make the final sprint for the box office.
Unfortunately, it is a niche movie, and Teacher He's schedule is over, so he can't participate in Happy Saturday this time. However, Teacher He is very righteous and volunteered to post on Weibo at that time to help attract popularity.
Not only him, Qu Zheng, Hu Ge, Cheng Yuanyuan, Wei Xun, Zhou Yu, Yao Cheng, Ni Hong, Wu Lijing, Yue Peng, Wang Yi... Extreme Men Help Wang Lei, Wang Bo, Sun Lei, Huang Xun, Xiaozhu, sister Zhang Zifeng, Feng Feng, Li Ying, Zhang Jia, and Li Xin of Orange Entertainment all help promote...
These people's blog updates suddenly became like most of the entertainment industry promoting the mysterious movie "Bullfighting", which made Bu Fan very moved.
This kind of thing is a bit like being a part-time member. Today someone helps you, and tomorrow you will have to repay favors, and you will never get tired of it.
There are two commercial blockbusters in the same period, both of which are on the comedy route. The rest are either romance films or cartoons. Even Bu Fan has no idea about niche war films like "Bullfighting", which are full of black war films.
On the contrary, Guan Hu is careless all day long and looks indifferent. He is also one of the investors, and he is really heartbroken if he spends millions of dollars in it.
During the promotion, I finally understood the importance of so-called traffic. There are only two stars in the film, except for herself, and Yanni.
They are all actors who are dedicated and decisive. If they were not shortlisted for Cannes, they would not even be easy to find a promotional gimmick!
It’s too late to say anything now. The work must be tested by the market. Time is approaching day by day, and Bu Fan is rarely a little nervous.
I must be confident about my acting skills.
But for the audience's preferences, let alone actors, even the top directors dare not say that they are sure to win.
Countless reputation reviews have been thriving, but the box office hit my grandma's house with a painful experience.
Chapter completed!
