On May 20, Cannes time, the 43rd Cannes Film Festival Awards Ceremony kicked off at the Palace of Film Festivals.

Celebrities and guests walked past the red carpet, but more filmmakers, producers and the big guys behind the scenes entered the VIP room waiting area from special work channels, while saving cigars, drinking coffee, and champagne waiting for the award ceremony.

start.

This is also the best place for anyone who is determined to enter the European and American film industry.

circle.

It is important at all times.

Wu Xiaozu's circle in Asia is enough, but the circles in Europe and the United States are far behind.

In the waiting area, Wu Xiaozu met David Lynch, the biggest competitor this time, a serious but crazy weirdo with an artist's sense of being a full of literary style.

"David, this is John." Harvey smiled and recommended.

"I have long admired Director David. Your short film "Alphabet" and feature film "Grandma", "Elephant Man" are the most classic representatives of psychedelic and surreality."

Wu Xiaozu smiled like a boy and gave a compliment. He said this.

The other party's movies, especially short films, are more suitable for surreal artworks, because his use of metaphors even overshadows his smooth storytelling. He is the kind of pretentious act who is keen on showing off skills, which is also the

Why does his "Mulholland Road" feel like showing off his skills? I am a critic of the Hollywood film and television industry and a darling of Hollywood. At the same time, I always think that I am an outsider and observer of the entire system...

This is very similar to the Jiang Bi Wang in Chinese movies. They are both sulky directors with a lot of inner scenes and weirdness.

This real big shot in the independent production industry in the United States. If Wu Xiaozu enters the Hollywood independent circle in the future, the two of them will be considered complete peers.

As for whether it is an enemy...

"I read your "Seven Sins of Sects", and I like your design of the story very much. Seven Sects of Sects, the connotation of the Seven Sects, the case is solved within seven days, and even the last time is 7:07, especially after

The design of the two original sins is very good.

I really appreciate the whole movie from color, soundtrack, editing to story design.”

David Lynch, an academy old white man, showed a little appreciation, "I always think that, like displaying humor, creating weirdness is also a talent. I like "The Seven Sins"."

Wu Xiaozu showed a modest smile, not sure if what the other party said was true, but what he said was false anyway.

He doesn't like "My Heart is Wild", and many paragraphs of the whole drama are inexplicably designed... Even his "Lynch sense" that has always been talked about by the film critics seems very stiff, especially the big family-friendly

The ending really lowered the quality of the movie.

In fact, his value is not only in independent production, but also the pioneer of the new era of American dramas. "Shuangfeng Town" should be regarded as the pinnacle of American dramas in the 1990s. It can be said that this drama has set off a new stage in the North American TV industry.

The revolution, Lynch's unique dark, surreal narrative style and unique treatment of the camera and color gave a strong impact on the patterned soap operas of the 1980s,

"I have also seen "Shuangfeng Town" recently, and I am also a TV fan of this TV series." Wu Xiaozu asked with a smile: "I wonder if this drama has the idea of ​​overseas release? I think there must be more overseas audiences who like it.

.”

"This drama belongs to Paramount and ABC TV. I think someone should be responsible for the specific release. Sorry, I want to leave..." David Lynch said lightly, and then someone came to say hello and said goodbye

.

"That guy rarely talks so much to people, and he is also a difficult guy in Hollywood."

Harvey shrugged at Wu Xiaozu with some intent, "But you know, the guys in the academy like him. This year he made a lot of money for ABC, and the guys in New York praised him to the sky, if he can get it tonight

Palme d'Or, then he will become the most successful filmmaker in Hollywood this year. His personal production company has a very high profit this year, with a net income of several million US dollars. This will make him the richest independent producer

one."

In history, 1990 was the pinnacle of his unbiased film festival honors and audience appeal—and also laid the foundation for one of his most prestigious directors in the international film industry since the 1990s.

"He will not be the richest soon." Wu Xiaozu took a sip of coffee. "Although I am not interested in money, I like the satisfaction of my own movies bringing the box office."

“…”

Harvey Weinstein suddenly felt that the coffee in his mouth was no longer fragrant, "Okay, I forgot that you are also a billionaire. Damn... I shouldn't talk to you about money."

Today, the independent production industry in the United States is not as mature as later generations. Although there are many great people, most of them are still hang out underground and belong to the marginal industry. Although Harvey is the boss of Miramax Film Company, his assets are not enough for Wu Xiaozu

A fraction.

moment.

Harvey felt that he was shorter and wanted to breathe a breath of free air, but he felt bitter.

"Anyway, this is not an Oscar, not a swearing?"

Wu Xiaozu shrugged indifferently and said, "Besides, I don't think this will be a problem for Harvey Weinstein."

"certainly."

Harvey smiled and took the initiative to touch the coffee cup with him, "I think you must have prepared a truckload of the best champagne - the billionaire."

Wu Xiaozu refused to comment, and the two people's cups collided gently.

He looked at each other and showed a tacitly-smile villain.

At this time, a staff member came in and led them into the hall to take a seat.

...

“@#￥%…&*…&”

Cannes still maintains its usual exaggerated nightclub style. The decoration on the stage is very similar to the decoration style of the teacher's home. The golden palm leaves in the background are particularly tacky...cheesy.

Gu Tianle followed the crew of "Seven Sins" to get to the seats in the front rows, nervous and excited, but because the boss was in front, he could only suppress his little excitement, and sat in the seat honestly on the surface.

The rest of the 'colleagues' can only sit in an inconspicuous corner...

Wu Xiaozu, who was sitting steadily on the chair, looked at Liu Jialing sitting beside him with a smile. He looked at him carefully from top to bottom and praised: "Jialing, you are particularly beautiful tonight."

Liu Jialing couldn't hide her joy. The flower branches trembled and gently stretched out her hand on her arm, and whispered in a low voice: "Thank you."

This dragon robe is naturally a rough map produced by Wu Xiaozu, and it was handed over to the company to prepare for Liu Jialing.

"I just push the cart with the flow..."

Liu Jialing exhaled the fragrance in a charming way, raised her legs and headed towards Wu Xiaozu, and said softly in Wu Xiaozu's ear with an inauspicious voice: "I am a person who knows gratitude."

Feeling that the calf was touched, Wu Xiaozu subconsciously coughed lightly, glanced at Liang Chaowei who was separated by two people, and the other party was chatting with Louis Koo.

Sure enough, good actors should focus on this.

The two were talking, and two drivers walked on the stage of the golden and kitschy stage. The male host was also an Asan, chewing curry-flavored French and talking French jokes that were hard to get.

At the beginning, Cannes began to award some non-contest and short film-related awards.

Most of them are newcomers in the film industry. In this year's Cannes, where the stars are so dazzling, it will not attract too many people's attention.

If Miss Liu's hand had not been teased intentionally or unintentionally, Wu Xiaozu might not be able to get angry at all.

This year, I clearly feel that the "international" atmosphere is very strong.

Many films in the Soviet Union, India, Italy and South America have shown their excellence.

However, as soon as the Soviet filmmakers go back, they may turn around and change their title.

Soviet films have a very high status in the world film industry. In the past two years, Russia will be even more tired and will have no position in the international influence.

In comparison, although the development of Chinese-language films is actually rugged and has taken many detours, they are at least struggling to move forward.

Suddenly, Wu Xiaozu took a deep breath and subconsciously put his legs together.

beside,

Mr. Liu, wearing a "dragon robe dress", pressed his tongue against his teeth, his face remained unchanged, but his hands were very far behind...

"I'll go to the bathroom." Wu Xiaozu felt that he might have drunk too much coffee just now and urgently needed to open the valve and release the water.

"I also need makeup." Liu Jialing said hello to Liang Chaowei not far away with her expression as usual, and then secretly left the seat while performing the Cannes midfield.

"Brother Wei, do you think the boss can win the award tonight? Will you win the best actor??" Louis Koo whispered.

"Haha~ I'm afraid I have to ask the judges." Liang Chaowei kept a calm smile and whispered: "But my chance of winning is very low, and many actors' performances are very outstanding. Even Mr. Ken Takakura and Mr. Choi Minzhi, their performances are in it They are all very good, too.”

"This competition is so fierce. I wonder if the boss can win the grand prize again..." Louis Koo said hopefully.

“Everyone has a chance.”

Liang Chaowei glanced at Liu Jialing's empty seat and didn't think much about it. He just felt a little inexplicable.

At this time, a green beam of light shot out from the performance on the stage, and the strong light stinged his eyes and dodged.

Louis Koo just turned his head away and looked over. He felt that the color photo made Brother Wei look green and panicked, as if he was a ghost movie.

In the audience, many people were actually anxious and waiting to get into the main film as soon as possible.

Most of the seed players are looking forward to it.

If you can win some awards in the main competition unit of Cannes, even a less important award will bring you great benefits.

The most intuitive thing is that their movie may have the opportunity to be broadcast in theaters, or even sell at a good price, giving them the opportunity and cost to direct the next movie.

Not every director can freely control funds to shoot the works he wants to direct.

More independent filmmakers are basically waiting for opportunities.
