Chapter 122 The opening ceremony of Cannes, the envy of Chief Jia
In the bow kiss scene of "Titanic", Chu Xuan had prepared for NG more than a dozen times.
Unexpectedly, relying on the tacit understanding between him and Ao Mei, he passed it smoothly.
The two kissed very deeply, until James Cameron shouted, and after the two separated, Ao Mei was still a little unfinished.
After the most important prologue scene of the whole film, Chu Xuan will temporarily leave for a few days to go to Cannes to attend the Cannes Film Festival.
Assistant director James Cameron temporarily led the crew to complete the shooting of other scenes.
In some of the scenes between the heroine Ruth and the upper-class nobles, Ao Mei can only stay on the crew and cannot accompany Chu Xuan to Cannes.
Before leaving, Ao Mei drove Chu Xuan to the airport.
After the two got tired of each other, Ao Mei suddenly asked in her soul:
"When I go to Cannes this time, Maizi will be there too, right?"
Her Chinese pronunciation is very standard, Chu Xuan naturally knew who she was talking about, so he smiled casually:
"Yeah, she's the heroine of the movie, and of course she's there too."
Ao Mei hesitated, she wanted to say something, but swallowed it back:
"Say hello to her for me, I haven't seen her for a long time, and I miss her a lot.
When filming "Interstellar" before, Ao Mei, Anne Hathaway, and Zhao Jinmark often went out to play together, and they were quite familiar with them.
Zhao Jinmai is cute and cute, and Ao Mei also likes this oriental girl very much.
A
"Well, I'm ready to board the plane, you go back. 35
"No, not enough.
"Okay, hold on for a while.
Ao Mei suddenly became very clingy, and Chu Xuan had to stand with her for a while.
Every May, the seaside town of Cannes in France will become the focus of the world's attention.
It has a stunning blue coastline and palm trees in the bright sunshine of 28 South of France.
Unlike the quiet and quiet of other Côte d'Azur regions, Cannes is more of a city that is constantly buzzing.
As the first of the three major film festivals in Europe, film stars and excellent films from all over the world will also gather here to experience an unparalleled film art feast.
Compared with the Berlin Film Festival, which prefers serious-style films, the Venice Film Festival prefers literary films in the clouds, and the Cannes Film Festival has many styles and is more inclusive.
This also makes director Long Guo like to send the film to Cannes, and go to the world through here.
Walking on the streets of this seaside town, feeling the warm climate of the Mediterranean Sea, and looking at the centuries-old buildings around, Chu Xuan's nerves have been relaxed a lot.
Since filming "Ghost Records" in North America, he has actually been forcing himself to keep moving forward, and has been urging himself to go crazy and introvert.
This has made Chu Xuan the king of Hollywood rolls and won the best director for two consecutive years, but he also rarely has time to relax.
Wen Ziren and people from Infinite Pictures are in charge of the finalists for the Cannes Film Festival.
Chu Xuan came here purely to support the scene. He didn't have a mission, and it was equivalent to coming for a vacation.
As soon as they checked in at the hotel level, Chu Xuan asked Zhao Jinmark to accompany him to the beach for a walk.
Zhao Jinmai didn't ask any more questions. He naturally followed Chu Xuan and walked quietly by the sea, blowing the sea breeze.
Although the two of them didn't speak, they were already familiar with each other to a certain extent, and they were no longer embarrassed. Instead, there was a different kind of quietness.
"By the way, I have received some film contracts, would you like to help me refer to it.
Zhao Jinmai suddenly said.
After the "Interstellar" starring her was released, she also instantly became an international movie star.
Zhao Jinmark has also become a favorite in the domestic film circle, and countless directors and investors are instantly interested in her.
She was originally just a second-tier florist, and her salary has also risen, from tens of thousands of yuan to tens of millions of yuan!
Some investors even claimed to spend 30 million to invite Zhao Jinmai to play the female lead, which shows Zhao Jinmai's appeal in the Long Kingdom film industry now.
As the male protagonist of "Interstellar", Chu Xuan is actually popular in Long Kingdom.
In the past, Chu Xuan worked behind the scenes. Even if the audience of Longguo heard of Chu Xuan's name, they would not be the same name.
Although he is already a well-known genius director in North America, he has always been in a state of obscurity in China.
But since Interstellar, things have gradually begun to turn around.
After all, "Interstellar" is also an influential film in Long Kingdom, and it is also a film invested by Chinese directors and Chinese capital.
The content of the film is also to promote the aerospace technology of Longguo, so that the whole world can feel the strength of Longguo.
This time, he showed his face in front of the national audience through "Interstellar". His superb acting skills and no dead ends instantly attracted the attention of netizens across the country.
"Who is the hero of "Interstellar"?
“When did Chu Xuan debut?”
“Chu Xuan turned out to be a former boy group ESO member? 39
Due to the pressure from the top, many platforms are still deleting articles about Chu Xuan.
But unable to hold back the heated discussion among netizens, Chu Xuan's name came out of the circle again and was well known by many netizens and fans.
The previous seal, less than two years later, is almost unstoppable.
Of course, Chu Xuan's main focus is still in North America, and he has no plans to fully participate in the Dragon Kingdom movie market for the time being.
Therefore, only Zhao Jinmark has been in contact with Huayu Group temporarily.
"What about Miss Hua, what did she say?"
Chu Xuan asked curiously, isn't this kind of thing usually decided by the agent.
"She said, give me time to ask what you mean. 35
"Sister Hua still trusts me so much..." Chu Xuan laughed, "Well, what are you talking about?
"Xingye's movie "The King of New Comedy", produced by Xingye, and it's the female lead, shouldn't it be a problem?"5
Zhao Jinmai was a little uneasy.
"Sister Hua also liked this movie very much, and almost helped me decide. But I still want to ask you to decide. 99
"Fortunately, you asked me, try not to touch this movie, it will most likely hit the street. Are there any others?
"Eh?"
How could Xing Ye's movie hit the street? Zhao Jinmai couldn't even imagine it.
But since Chu Xuan said so, she also completely believed in Chu Xuan and did not ask the reason.
"And the movie version of "The Best of Us"..."
"pass, next. 35
"Oh, there is also a war movie "Operation Red Sea". Bona has just approved the project, the script has been completed, and the director is expected to be Lin Chaoxian. Sister Hua said that the role of a female soldier is suitable for me, but I need to shave...
"puff……'
Chu Xuan suddenly felt very strange, why the women around him could not avoid the fate of shaving their heads.
Ao Mei filmed "Mad Max: Fury Road", and she shaved a clean inch.
Anne Hathaway also cut her hair short for Interstellar.
Zhao Jinmark met the opportunity of "Operation Red Sea" again, and this opportunity was indeed very good.
"Operation Red Sea is good, take it with confidence. It will definitely help you a lot in your career, and shaving your head is a trivial matter. 99
"I just thought, it's going to be ugly by then."
"No, in my eyes, you will look good no matter what."
"what……
Zhao Jinmark's pretty face was instantly covered with Feixia, especially in the sunset of Cannes.
She quickly changed the subject and said:
"Then Hua Jie wanted to ask you before, if you want to participate in the investment. The investment in this film may be relatively large, in case you lose..."
"Don't worry, I voted."
"Eh? Did you decide without knowing it clearly?
"As long as it's a movie you act in, I'll invest with confidence. 99
Zhao Jinmark would have made a mistake and buried her head low again, she was not fully prepared.
Actually, Chu Xuan just understood the potential of the film.
He was thinking purely from a business perspective.
It is impossible to justify a business that is guaranteed to make a profit without losing money.
Regarding "Operation Red Sea", Chu Xuan decided to take time to return to China after the Cannes Film Festival to have a good talk with Bona.
On the opening day of the Cannes Film Festival, directors and movie stars from all over the world took to the red carpet to compete.
Chief Jia also came to the opening ceremony with the crew of "Children of Jianghu".
In recent years, Jia Kechang's films generally do not sell well in the Longguo market. So what he chooses is the curve to save the country.
First won the award at the International Film Festival, and then Longguo has the distributor to release it.
His works have a strong literary and artistic nature, and it seems that there is not much box office in the market. In the eyes of popular fans, Jia Kechang's films are all money-losing goods.
In fact, he has actually made a lot of money over the years by being selected for the film festival.
"Xiao Wu" invested 300,000 and gained more than 5 million;
"Three Gorges Good Man" invested 6 million, won the Golden Lion Award and sold more than 40 million overseas.
This time, "Children of Jianghu", he intends to try to enter the Longguo market and officially release it nationwide.
Therefore, he has high expectations for the film, and hopes to win the award to increase the halo.
For this reason, Section Chief Jia was indifferent on the surface, but in fact, it could be seen from 693's trembling hands that he was still very nervous.
Section Chief Jia attended the Cannes red carpet with his wife Zhao Tao, male stars Liao Fan, Xu Zheng, and actress Liang Jiayan.
As one of the two Dragon Kingdom movies in the main competition unit, Section Chief Jia thought that he would not see a few Dragon Kingdom people on the red carpet.
As a result, I walked in and took a look, and found many oriental faces.
First of all, there is Long Guoren among the judges of the Cannes Film Festival, and the world-famous director Jiang Wen took a group photo in the jury.
Section Chief Jia originally planned to go up to say hello, but there were too many people there, and they were all judges, so he thought about it.
In addition to Jiang Wen, Chinese stars such as Chunge, Ma Su, and Ma Sichun were also invited by the brand to appear on the red carpet.
Chief Jia has nothing to do with them, and naturally he will not come forward to join in the fun.
Just halfway through the red carpet, Chief Jia suddenly heard the noise behind him, and countless reporters and fans came over, making a lot of noise.
Section Chief Jia thought who it was, but when he looked back, he found a tall figure who was unfamiliar but familiar.
"Chu Xuan is here too." Actress Liang Jiayan said in surprise.
"Of course, he invested in the production of "Mulan"." Xu Zheng explained aside.
Although Longguo fans and the general public are not very clear, they all know that Chu Xuan has been deployed in the Longguo market for a long time.
Including the previous "Infernal Affairs" and the upcoming "Mulan" are all works by Chu Xuan.
As the most popular director in Hollywood, these Dragon Kingdom filmmakers are very envious of him, but they have no chance to contact him.
They also saw Chu Xuan up close for the first time.
Section Chief Jia and Xu Zheng looked at their "no one cares" state, and then looked at Chu Xuan's "stars holding the moon" posture when he appeared.
Suddenly a little emotional.
"Come on, let's go in."
Chief Jia greeted Zhao Tao and they left the red carpet and entered the opening ceremony hall.
Because Chief Jia knows very well that Chu Xuan's achievements are beyond his envy.
It took him 10 years to fiddle with these films, and Chu Xuan has already killed all over the world with "The Godfather" and "Interstellar".
He plans to contact Chu Xuan after the opening ceremony.
As long as he can find opportunities for cooperation, he can also take off as Chief Jia.
