We must admit that the reason why the Cannes Film Festival was popular all over the world is not only because it feels that the trading market is the weight represented by the Palme d'Or!

To be honest, our Beijing Film Festival has an annual transaction volume that can instantly defeat most film festivals around the world, but the influence of the Beijing Film Festival has not been expanded to the world. .

Maximum exposure: As far as film festivals are concerned, Cannes is still the most important international film festival and film market, with the largest number of media.

When you arrive in Cannes, your movies will get the most exposure. This is basically the world's largest film trading market. Nearly 5,000 news media from around the world gather here to report on the films being screened.

For your movie, this is really a global stage, and allowing global media to watch movies directly on the spot is the best way to promote movies.

Of course, Cannes has always been famous for discovering newcomers.

In 1989, an unknown young director named Stephen Soderbergh came to Cannes with his debut work "Sex, Lies, Video Tape" and won a Palme d'Or for this film. He has since taken off his career. He was only 26 years old at the time.

Later, what were his works?

"Never Compromise", "Drug Network", "Eleven Arhats", "Behind the Candlestick"…

A real Hollywood first-line director!

In 1994, Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Novel" defeated a series of works to win the Palme d'Or, and also previewed that the Hollywood genius director really came to the stage!

Also, no matter where you come from, if your work is screened in Cannes and receives positive reviews, especially from film critics.

Soon you will find yourself embarking on the Hollywood path. These filmmakers will receive flooded calls from various agency companies asking if they are willing to accept their agents. These filmmakers will go to Hollywood to make movies, not in Norway, Latin America or any other hometown.

At the beginning, after Chen Kaige failed in "Feng Yue", he also went to Hollywood to make a fuss. Of course, he was more miserable...

Including Xu Hui, his "Huang Feihong" was sold so smoothly after going through Cannes!

...

"Beautiful Life" premiered by great praise.

Wang Qianyuan, Qin Hailu, and Zhu Jiayu, who plays Qiao Xi, have become the focus of media attention, and of course Xu Hui.

However, at this time, everyone is mainly paying attention to the actors.

There is no way, compared to the invisible creatures like the director, the actor's performance is the most intuitive.

Moreover, Wang Qianyuan himself has a certain reputation in Europe, including "Lost Orphan", "Gift of Room No. 7", and "Piano of Steel", which sells well in Europe.

A character like Jodo is basically scheduled for the best actor in a few years!

Why don't you hurry up and interview?

Xu Hui responded to a few questions from reporters, then walked to Wu Baige and Hou Xiaoxian, and specifically thanked them for their support.

Hou Xiaoxian's expression was a bit complicated.

He is the executive chairman of the Golden Horse Awards. Basically, all Chinese people know the conflict between Xu Hui and the Golden Horse Awards!

Paohui was also a little embarrassed.

Xu Hui still admires many of Yang Dechang and Hou Xiaoxian's works.

"The City of Sadness", "Love in the World", and "Yiyi" are all rare masterpieces!

However, after Hou Xiaoxian took office as Jinma, he felt that Jinma had returned to the previous era of regional prejudice and was no longer the great situation that Jiao Xiongping created.

Jiao Xiongping is definitely a Chinese-language filmmaker. She should be respected by the Golden Horse Awards. When she was the chairman of the Golden Horse Awards, she directly turned the Golden Horse Awards into a truly Chinese-language film festival!

Mainland filmmakers such as Liu Huohua, Wang Baobao, Qin Hailu and others should all thank her!

After a while of silence, Hou Xiaoxian said, "Director Xu Hui, the Golden Horse Awards will always welcome you!"

“…This year’s “Beautiful Life” will definitely participate!”

However, this year there is Zhang Yimou's "International Market"...

...

Adults only share interests, but children only share right or wrong!

Xu Hui's movies have not been listed on the Taiwan market for two years. Although they don't care much, they are also money!

For the Golden Horse Awards, the refusal of an Oscar-best director is definitely a blow to its authority.

With Xu Hui's status rising, the influence brought by his words and deeds is beyond the reach of the original commercial director.

Besides, Shangfeng demanded unity of filmmakers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions, and has asked Xu Hui to make his posture more than once...

If it really doesn’t work, just don’t Xu Huiren go!

On the evening of the 16th, Xu Hui accepted an exclusive interview with Time.com at the cafe next to the Movie Palace.

"First of all, this is a fictional story, and I specially presented it in a romantic and beautiful way."

By the way, let’s add that there is no Roberto Benini in this time and space, and there is no original version of "Beautiful Life"!

"The source of the story? It should be that when I was filming "Cinema Paradise", I watched too many Italian movies. It was like this. Originally, this story should be about Jews in a Nazi concentration camp. Later, I thought I could make up a man named Jodo, and the background was placed in the Northeast..."

"What do I evaluate?"

"I think in my movie sequence, it should be a more profound story like "Paradise Cinema", "Donkey Gets Water" and "The Legend of Beauty" I wanted to film later!"

The reporter then asked: "Then do you think "Beautiful Life" is a commercial film or an art film?"

"…Why do you have to divide it into commercial films and art films? I think movies are divided into two categories: good-looking and bad-looking!"

Xu Hui frowned and asked back.

"But...most of the popular works are commercial films..."

The reporter forcibly defended.

“…Then do they look good?”

"this…"

"So, in the future, just evaluate a work and click it directly. Let's use the difference between good-looking and bad-looking. How good is it?"

The reporter from Time.com was a little panicked. Is he being raped?

"Then how likely do you think is the Palme d'Or in Beautiful Life?"

“…”

Xu Hui was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Can you ask this question?

"Director Xu?"

"...First, most of the works in the main competition unit have not been screened yet. Do you ask me to predict the results now? Second, the chairman of this jury is Jane Campion. What kind of theme does she prefer? I don't know! So, I think it's better to wait for the results with peace of mind!"

A reluctant answer.

“…Director Xu, have you ever found yourself slowly changing in your creation?”

"A little bit..."

“Do you think this change is good or bad?”

"It's not a good or bad, but I can obviously feel that I'm more dependent on the story itself now, and the content is greater than the form. Anyway, it's all for the film service! However, I might make a big-produced special effects movie next."

"Special effects movie?"
Chapter completed!
