Entertainment Rebirth Rhapsody

Chapter 142 Chapter 140 Two: Film Festival
"Run it!The filming of "Father" was slowly running through the quarrel, and the progress was getting faster and faster. Jiang Wen was indeed capable. Together with Feng Xiaogang, he and Feng Xiaogang captured Li Changchun, a retired athlete who was pure and strict, but also with a sense of joy. The character was very vivid.

The cooperation of several actors became more and more tacit, and Shanhe became familiar with Zhang Ziyi and Li Bingbing.

Several people often chatted to pass the time in their free time.

"Shanhe, I heard that you are going to study in the directing department of Beijing Film Academy in the second half of the year. Why don't you come to China National Theater? We also have good directors. You see, Director Jiang is a graduate of China National Theater!" Zhang Ziyi started talking.

Shanhe took out two bags of melon seeds from his pocket and distributed them to Jiang Wen and Zhang Ziyi.

"I didn't think about it that much at the beginning, the director department of Beijing Film Academy is famous!"

Jiang Wen unpacked the package and poured some for each of them, "It is said that Beijing Film Academy produces directors and Chinese opera actors. Shanhe is quite right. The directing department still has a lot of practice opportunities in Beijing Film Academy. If you want to be a director Classes in the classroom are useless!"

Shanhe nodded, deeply agreeing!
"Director Jiang, how did you think of becoming a director yourself from an actor?"

Jiang Wen cracked the melon seeds and replied casually: "I am born with many ideas and a quick temper. After filming a few movies with a few great directors, the ideas in my mind rushed out one by one. It happened that Wang Shuo finished writing his We were asked to review the new film "Animals" for review first, and I fell in love with it right away. It was perfect for me. At that time, I only had one idea: I must make it!"

"This movie is "Sunny Days"! Director Jiang became famous in one battle, and Xia Yu won the Venice Best Actor in his teens!" Li Bingbing took over the topic from the side.

Jiang Wen curled his lips and smiled, "This movie took more than a year to be shot. It went through several production stops and almost resulted in an abortion. The longest stop was more than two months. The producer returned to Hong Kong Island to make money. The investment has been replenished!”

Shanhe gave Jiang Wen a thumbs up, "Director Jiang, I've also watched "The Devils Are Coming". I personally think it's no worse than "Sunny Days". The part 'Big brother and sister-in-law have a happy New Year' made me laugh. It is estimated that no one who has seen it will forget it!"

"Don't mention "The Devils Are Coming", bad luck! They haven't been able to touch the camera for five years!" Jiang Wen yelled with frustration.

"Haha!" Shanhe laughed, "I think Director Jiang has a lot of ideas, but Director Feng can't handle you either!"

"Making a movie must be a bit of a pursuit. I have a straightforward temper and speak out what I feel in my heart, otherwise I will panic!"

Shanhe grabbed a handful of melon seeds from Jiang Wen and changed the topic, "Director Jiang, do you have any plans to make commercial movies in the future? The country needs commercial movies to stabilize the market!"

Jiang Wen looked up at Shanhe, "Why, you, a talented writer, also want to go to the sea to make commercial movies in the future? I must make movies according to my heart, I can't do it if you tell me to get down!"

"I'm not that hypocritical, but I think commercial films can do a lot. You can't say that art films are high-end, but commercial films are low-end!" Shan He retorted.

"Haha, your idea coincides with that of Lao Mouzi. He seems to be planning a commercial blockbuster recently. Your feelings are too heavy. I can't afford it. It's good to be a ruffian!" Jiang Wen He responded with a smile.

Zhang Ziyi's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Director Jiang, what type of commercial blockbuster is Director Zhang making? Have you been invited to participate?"

Jiang Wen stared at Zhang Ziyi, and smiled, "Ziyi, haven't you heard the news? You are a girl, and it seems to be an action drama in ancient costumes. It is probably similar to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"! Lao Mouzi and I will be friends in the future He can’t eat in the same pot, he hates me very much, haha!”

"I have to ask Director Zhang if there is any suitable role for me. I must help Director Zhang make the film. He is my mentor!" Zhang Ziyi's ambition was clearly revealed.

Li Bingbing on the side looked at Zhang Ziyi complicatedly, she couldn't get this kind of opportunity!

Did "Hero" start planning so early? Shan He remembers that it was not released until the end of !Is it because of my appearance that it's early?
Seeing Shanhe staying aside, Jiang Wen stretched out his hand to pat him and said, "After filming "Run! Dad", I'll take you to meet Lao Mouzi, I think you can talk!"

"Really? That's good, Director Jiang, I'll remember it, don't let me go!"

"That's not possible. I, Jiang Wen, spit and spit. It's true that he dislikes me, but we are old friends and have a good relationship!"

More than ten days later, the middle school scenes were all completed, and the crew was divided into two groups. Feng Xiaogang took a group to the suburb of Mentougou to film Li Changchun's growth experience.

The other group moved to the Workers' Stadium. Several major scenes of the whole play were in the gymnasium, and the scenes and personnel had to be prepared in advance.

Shanhe followed Yu Dong back to the capital, and he couldn't follow the crew anymore.

The International Olympic Committee will hold an exhibition of cities bidding for the 29th Olympic Games at its headquarters in Lausanne.

As an image ambassador, Shanhe went with the group, and the task was not light.

The Beijing Olympic Bidding Committee is busy preparing promotional materials, promotional videos, speeches, posters and so on.

Shanhe also helped. He was responsible for writing promotional materials and organizing the Beijing bid materials.

At work, he met Yang Lan, who is also an image ambassador.

As the host and spokesperson of the exhibition, her task is even more onerous.

"Hello Shanhe, I've wanted to get to know you for a long time and have always wanted to give you an exclusive interview!" Yang Lan greeted Shanhe generously.

"Mr. Yang Lan, hello, I grew up watching "Zhengda Variety Show", and you have always been my role model!"

"Haha!" Yang Lan laughed at Shanhe's words, "Shanhe, are you reminding me that I am old? I am only in my early thirties, and we are all young people!"

Shanhe also laughed, "Then I'll call you Sister Yang, you look about my age!"

Yang Lan's laughter grew louder, "Shanhe, you are so easy-going in private, which surprised me a little. It's good to call Sister Yang. I think we can chat. I'm too busy recently. Sister Yang invites you to do it when I'm free." An exclusive interview, let's have a good chat!"

Shanhe nodded, "No problem, I'll leave you a phone number and you can contact me then!"

After the two exchanged phone numbers, they separated and got busy.

He Jining is very concerned about Shanhe. After learning that Shanhe returned to the Beijing Olympic Bidding Committee to help, he called Shanhe to the office when he was about to get off work at noon.

"Shanhe is here, you sit down first, I'll finish what I'm doing!" He Jining greeted Shanhe when he walked into the office.

"You are busy with your business, let me take a look at the promotional posters!" Shanhe saw the promotional posters on the small conference table.

"Pour yourself some water!"

"okay!"

Shanhe saw himself in the promotional poster, hey, the shot is pretty cool!
After He Jining finished his work, he looked up and saw Shanhe proudly holding up his poster, thinking about something, he was amused by Shanhe's actions, now Shanhe looks like a young boy!
"How's it going? The photo looks pretty cool!"

Hearing the sound, Shanhe looked back at He Jining, saw his teasing smile, and put down the poster in embarrassment.

Shanhe smiled covertly, "Director He, what do you need from me?"

"It's nothing important, just ask about the situation of the movie. Besides, you have to do your best to distribute it overseas!" He Jining walked from behind the desk to the coffee table, "Come and sit, let's have dinner together later!"

Shanhe sat across from He Jining, "Director He, the filming of "Run! Dad" is going well, the crew is already on track, and the speed will be accelerated in time for the release in June. I have already contacted Disney about the issue of overseas distribution. They need to see the finished film before deciding on a distribution plan!"

He Jining poured a glass of water for Shan He, "China Film President Han gave us a suggestion to exhibit at the Cannes Film Festival in May. What do you think?"

Shanhe froze for a moment, "Of course it would be great to go to the Cannes Film Festival! Does China Film have a channel for this?"

"There should be. After all, we are only going to participate in exhibitions, not to judge awards. Didn't Jiang Wen just win an award at the Cannes Film Festival! The films he starred in should be popular in Cannes." He Jining responded, "Shanhe, as an Olympic Representatives of the application committee should communicate with China Film Group and ask them to come up with a plan, and I can also report to the higher-ups here."

"Okay! I'll be there in the afternoon!"

"There's nothing else to do. It's time to get off work. Let's go to the canteen!"

"Then I'm welcome!"

After the lunch break, Yu Dong called before Shanhe rushed to China Film Group.

"Shanhe, you know about the Cannes exhibition!"

"I just found out this morning, and you didn't even bother to talk to me beforehand. I was planning to go to China Film Academy to find you in the afternoon!"

"This is not what I meant. I just found out. I don't even understand the regulations of the Cannes Film Festival!"

"That's it, let's go to the crew to find Jiang Wen, he can help!"

When the two rushed to Gongti, the crew was filming the scene where Li Xiaoxia participated in the National Games for the first time.

Jiang Wen stood next to Feng Xiaogang and stared at the shooting screen.

There were so many extras in this scene that they filled up a grandstand. They also needed to take a panoramic view, but there were no drones at this time.

Lifting equipment is used, which is one of the few big scenes in movies.

"All departments are preparing, the first time of the tenth game of the sports meeting, preparation, action!"

The whole field became a real game.

"Ka! Well, this scene is over!"

As Feng Xiaogang's voice fell, the entire scene relaxed.

Shanhe and Yu Dong walked over to say hello to Jiang Wen and Feng Xiaogang.

"Why are you here together? Isn't Shanhe going to Lausanne?" Feng Xiaogang asked.

"Didn't I ask Director Jiang for something!" Shanhe looked at Jiang Wen and said, "Director Jiang, you know the process of participating in the Cannes Film Festival! China Film and the Olympic Bidding Committee are going to send the film to Cannes for exhibition!"

Jiang Wen smiled and nodded, "You really have to come to me for this matter. I know Gilles Jacob, the chairman of the Cannes Film Festival very well, and my wife's family is also in France. It's not a big problem to participate in the exhibition. The main competition unit We definitely won’t be able to get in, we can try for the non-competition units!”

"What are the specific requirements?" Yu Dong asked.

"For the works not released this year, there must be more than 10 minutes of completed films in early May. The quality should not be too bad. It is enough to pass the review of the jury. The key is to be recommended by someone." Jiang Wen replied.

"There is no problem with the time. We can catch up with the schedule. Lao Jiang, you are qualified to recommend. You just won the award last year. Can you not give face to the movie you starred in!" Feng Xiaogang asked anxiously.

"Haha! Xiaogang is in a hurry!" Jiang Wen smiled and said to Feng Xiaogang, "Who am I? France is my wife's family. I am the son-in-law of France. I still have some noodles!"

Jiang Wen paused, and continued: "However, if you want to do promotion in Cannes, it will cost you a lot. There will be a film trading market there. There are too many movies. If you want to have a good effect, you need to spend money on booths and publicity. If the quality of the film is good, the money can be earned back!"

"Don't worry about the cost. China Film will be included in the film investment. I have to write a report. We don't have much experience in participating in film festivals. Director Jiang, I have to trouble you this time!" Yu Dong responded.

"Will my help shorten the period of my ban?" Jiang Wen said a bald word.

Ha ha…

Several people laughed.

"I can't answer you. It's probably quite difficult! China Film doesn't have the ability to make the review committee take back the announced results." Yu Dong replied with a smile.

Jiang Wen waved his hand, "I'm just joking, hurry up and finish the filming, I think we can't lose out on this film, this kind of film is relatively rare in Cannes, Shanhe is not an unknown person, I can also start to make a difference, if you are not sure, just Earn it all back!"
