Chinese Entertainment: Academic Director

Chapter 95 Xiao He just showed his sharp horns
The way Westerners think is indeed different from that of Easterners.
Well, don’t worry about who is right or wrong, as long as you are happy, Cao Yang will certainly not go to great lengths to correct you.
Hou Keming felt that what the two foreigners said was good, and he would quickly write it down. When the movie is released, he would ask someone to post it online to prevent someone from saying that the movie is anti-this or that, and it would be disgusting if someone put a smear campaign on it.
Well, we’ll arrange a reporter to interview them later, and then show it when the movie is released.
Maybe not many people know Marin Kamitz, but Nanni Moretti just won the Palme d’Or at Cannes, so his words are still authoritative.
Yes, just do it.
Everyone went out for a meal together, and then Cao Yang found the people from Sony Classics and MK2 and asked them what would happen if the movie went to Cannes?
Obviously MK2 has more say in this regard. After several people discussed, they all felt that there was potential in Cannes, and they also wanted to let Cao Yang see their strength in Cannes.
Finally, Marin-Kamiz told Cao Yang that the Palme d’Or might be very difficult to win as it requires special timing, but there is still a very good chance of winning other awards.
Cao Yang hesitated for a moment, and finally told Malin-Kamiz firmly, “Actress, I want the Best Actress award. If possible, please work hard in this regard, Mr. Kameez, even if you have to give up other awards.”
Malin-Kamiz looked at Cao Yang, then nodded and agreed.
He knew very well why Cao Yang wanted the Best Actress award. Just think about it, if three movies won the Berlin Film Festival, Venice Film Festival and Cannes Film Festival awards respectively, that would be more amazing than winning the three highest awards.
This achievement is unique even in today’s film industry.
The most important thing is that by watching the movie, based on the actress’s performance in the movie, she is definitely qualified to win the Best Actress award.
Since you are qualified, you can make it work.
Sony Classics’ Bellman has the same idea.
He was not like some European guys who spent their energy thinking about the religious implications. He came directly to watch the performance of the heroine. He never forgot the advice he gave to Cao Yang in Venice.
Now it seems that Cao Yang has completely listened to his advice, and the heroine’s performance is definitely worthy of a Best Actress award.
He wanted Gao Yuanyuan to win the best actress award from the three major European awards more than Cao Yang did. Then, when the time came and she collaborated with Cao Yang, she would be able to make a big splash in Hollywood.
A director who can produce three European film queens with three movies is also a co-star that all female stars in Hollywood are vying to work with.
So he solemnly promised Cao Yang that he would mobilize all the power of Sony Classics and all his personal power to ensure that she won the Best Actress Award at Cannes.
With their promises, Cao Yang made up his mind to go to Cannes!
So Hou Keming started to get busy again. When the film was submitted for review, he kept making phone calls to urge the review.
Otherwise, the film review committee members may not want to be the first to comment when they see that the film involves religion, and would like to wait for others to give their opinions first.
Even if the story takes place in Hong Kong, this possibility cannot be ruled out.
By then, it will take you three to five months, and you will still not be able to attend the Cannes Film Festival.
Under Hou Keming’s unremitting urging, he even visited several old guys several times. The film took one and a half months to complete, and he finally got the “ID card”.
第55届戛纳电影节在5月15日开幕,在4月12日,公布了进入主竞赛单元的名单。
Then, the domestic media was shocked again.
Cao Yang’s new film “Secret Sunshine” is on the list.
At the same time, Jia Zhangke’s “Ren Xiaoyao” also entered the main competition unit.
However, because Jia Zhangke’s previous film “Xiao Wu” violated the regulations by participating in the film festival, he was banned from directing for five years. “Ren Xiaoyao” was shot during his ban, so it would definitely not pass the review.
Jia Zhangke burst into tears. Zhang Yimou had so many films violate the rules to participate in the film festival, which one is not more powerful than “Xiao Wu”? Why is he fine, but I am banned from directing…
No children!
He once again violated the rules and participated in the film festival.
Cao Yang’s film went to the Cannes Film Festival through formal channels, so the media will definitely report on it freely.
“Director Cao is heading out again, this time the target is France.”
“After winning two Silver Bears in Berlin and two Silver Lions and one Golden Lion in Venice, Director Cao’s goal this time is Cannes.”
“The film Secret Sunshine, by the famous director Cao Yang, has entered the main competition unit of the 55th Cannes Film Festival and is expected to win a big prize.”
Even the hot posts on Tianya Community are jokes in nature.
When asked, “Who will be the next three European film queens?”, the answers were varied in the past, but recently, they were all the same: Gao Yuanyuan, Gao Yuanyuan, Gao Yuanyuan…
Dong Xuan was also browsing this post. It would be a lie to say that he didn’t envy Gao Yuanyuan.
A few days ago, after exercising with her, Cao Yang touched the tip of her nipples, and they chatted about this movie.
According to Cao Yang, there was no plan to make this movie at the beginning. The reason for making this movie was to promote someone and to win the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival.
Dong Xuan’s eyes lit up when he heard this. Listen to how domineering these words are. In other words, if Cao Yang wants to promote any actress, he can really do it.
Dong Xuan secretly regretted that if he had thought it through earlier and taken action earlier, perhaps the role would have been his.
How am I worse than Gao Yuanyuan?
Although her protrusion was not too prominent, Gao Yuanyuan’s condition was not much better.
The key is that the little lotus has just shown its pointed tip, and it looks pink and tender.
What’s more, I studied dance, so how could Gao Yuanyuan compare to me in terms of the flexibility of my waist?
Oh, it would be great if the answers below were all about Dong Xuan.
Cao Yang said that he would not make any Chinese-language movies for the time being and would go to Hollywood to make a movie to see how it goes. It would be nice if I could follow Cao Yang to a Hollywood movie and play a supporting role.
Dong Xuan made a decision. She remembered what Cao Yang said last time when he held her waist with his hands from behind: if it was a double ponytail…
Bah, you pervert.
By the way, Cao Yang said he would come over tonight.
Afterwards, Dong Xuan started to search online to see what kind of double ponytails looked better…
After the film entered the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival, Cao Yang relaxed temporarily.
He remembered very clearly that he had been thinking about what kind of script he could write to impress Old Situ since April 00, and it has been exactly two years now.
In two years, I made three movies and achieved achievements that I never dared to imagine in my previous life. I became one of the top three directors in mainland China today. It was like a dream.
Sometimes he also felt that he was too impatient, even a little eager for quick success. Why couldn’t he make one movie a year, or even two movies in three years, like other directors?
Wouldn’t it be nice to relax for a while after filming a movie?
Wouldn’t it be better to find a few more beautiful actresses to give some acting guidance?
In fact, Cao Yang also wanted to live such a life, but he always had a sense of uneasiness in his heart, fearing that it was all a dream when he woke up. He was even more afraid that as time went by, there would be fewer and fewer good movies, which was certain.
Why are comic book movies so popular in Hollywood?
First, this model is easy to make profits from, and sequels and related series of films come with their own publicity, so the risks are infinitely reduced.
Second, Hollywood movies lack innovation and are highly homogenized, making it difficult to bring freshness and surprises to audiences. Most importantly, there are uncontrollable risks.
Of course, capital wants to make money more safely.
Therefore, Cao Yang wanted to leave behind enough classics and cast a golden body before this situation occurred, so that his new life would not be in vain.
