Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 92 Influence
"The biggest surprise in the film industry this year."

Such a title was actually brought back to China.

Of course, a few words were added in front of it. Foreign media said that the new work "In the Mood for Love" by our country's director Huang Ze is "the biggest surprise in the film industry this year."

However, these newspapers have one notable feature: they are less official and are located in Shanghai.

As for media from other places, after learning that Huang Ze's film was shot in Hong Kong Island, they chose not to report it for the time being and wait and see what happens.

The lack of reports is not a big deal and will not affect sales.

But if something that cannot be reported is reported, that would be a big problem.

Everyone is waiting for news.

Until this news was reported on CCTV.

Maybe it’s because the film was not produced by a domestic studio, so it was not included in the evening “News Network”.

In other news programs, there was some time to show Huang Ze, Gong Xing and Gu Changwei holding the trophy.

"Recently, at the Cannes Film Festival in France, one of the world's three major film festivals, my country's young director Huang Ze won the Best Director award, young photographer Gu Changwei won the highest technical award, and young actress Gong Xing won the Best Actress award, becoming the first Asian to win the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival in history, and also the first Chinese actor to win the award. Chinese filmmakers are going global..."

Just over a minute long.

But this paragraph is enough to illustrate the attitude.

What needs to be reported should be reported; there is nothing that cannot be reported.

Other newspapers quickly followed suit.

……

Beijing.

Brother Chen Kai was a little depressed when he heard the news.

He was one of the first batch of directors in the 78 class to make movies, but in just a few years, he was left behind by a student from the photography department, and it seemed that he was getting further and further behind!

Looking at Huang Ze's photo in the newspaper, Chen Kai felt unconvinced and said, "He's just a best director."

"Just wait, sooner or later I will win the Palme d'Or for all of you to see!"

Liao County, Guaier Town, Yujiao Village.

This small village recently welcomed a film crew, and the movie they filmed is called "Old Well".

The director is Wu Tianming, director of Xi'an Film Studio, and the male lead is Zhang Yimou.

After learning that Huang Ze won three awards in a row and set two records in Cannes, Wu Tianming felt a fire burning in his heart for no apparent reason. He found Zhang Yimou and asked, "Were you the photographer for Huang Ze before?"

"Yes."

"Have you seen the movie called In the Mood for Love?"

"Then I haven't seen it." Zhang Yimou shook his head. "I was his photographer for another movie, In the Mood for Love. It was shot by Gu Changwei. He also contributed to the highest technical award."

"He!"

Wu Tianming felt bitter when he mentioned Gu Changwei.

He was optimistic about this young man, but the other party always lacked the confidence to be a director.

If he doesn't have confidence, how can you go against the crowd and support such a young man to be a director?
I have even less confidence!
Thinking of the conversation between him and Gu Changwei, Wu Tianming said, "If I give you a chance, would you dare to be a director?"

"Why should I be afraid?" Zhang Yimou's eyes lit up. "Give me a chance, and I will definitely make an excellent film with all my heart!"

“Can I go to Europe to win the award?”

"Then I can't guarantee it." Zhang Yimou smiled and shook his head. "If you ask Huang Ze the same question, he will definitely give the same answer. I heard him say that the film festivals in Europe are just as complicated as before."

"What do you mean by equally deep?"

"Hey hey hey."

"Okay, let's concentrate on finishing this film first." Wu Tianming decided to observe closely and give Zhang Yimou several filming opportunities in this film. If he does well, he will be transferred to Xiying Studio and given a chance to be a director to see if young people can bring new life to Xiying Studio. At this time, Xiying Studio is almost the last among domestic film studios, and it has to change!
Not only the two of them, the news of Huang Ze winning the award quickly caused a stir in other film studios.

With two works, one winning the second prize in Venice and one winning the best director award in Cannes, this young man has completely gone international!

It’s strange, how can the photography department produce such a talented director?
Beijing Film Academy’s Directing Department, when will you be able to stand up?

If other people heard the news, they would just be envious for a moment and then move on.

For domestic actresses, they are so envious that they can’t sleep.

"Under the Bridge" subsequently won the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards.

Later, that incident happened and I heard that she resigned. How could she still win the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival?

She is the first Chinese to win one of the three major Best Actress awards, and also the first Asian to win the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival. It is a great honor!

Ah!
Why isn't that person me?

……

Huang Ze had just returned to Hong Kong Island and hadn't even sat down when he received two phone calls.

One of the calls was from Beijing Film Academy inviting me to return to my alma mater to screen In the Mood for Love at the school and teach the students.

The other call was from someone at China Film Group, who asked me to send a copy over to see if In the Mood for Love could be introduced for screening in China.

The other party also gave me a shot of prevention in advance and said it in advance.

Even if it can be introduced, there is no foreign exchange available, so it can only be paid in RMB, and the price is the same as buying movies from other studios, 900,000.

Huang Ze has no problem with this.

It would be fine if it could be shown domestically.

I had no plan to earn US dollars domestically.

The key is the impact that the film may bring.

The next day, Huang Ze, Gong Xing and four bodyguards went to the capital with the copy.

Give a copy to China Film first.

Because this movie was so popular abroad, especially in France, and had a great international influence, he immediately organized people to watch the entire film.

After watching it, everyone was shocked.

Should this be introduced?
How can it describe cheating?

Even though their significant others cheated on them first and even abandoned them, they did not take that step in the end.

There is nothing wrong with the three views, and there are no scenes that are too inappropriate. It's even worse than "Lush Mountain Love", where there's not even a kiss.

But the lighting, cheongsams, and soundtrack of this movie, just like the songs of the female singer named Teresa Teresa, are too decadent, aren’t they?

No one knew what to do.

But the influence of "In the Mood for Love" is indeed not overstated.

If it is released more than ten years in advance, its influence will be even greater.

Finally, the film was delivered to a magical room.

Someone who loves watching movies watched it and gave a review.

"I think this little doll is well filmed. It's just about love, and the two people in the film don't do anything out of the ordinary."

"We are open, but if we don't even show films made by our own directors that have gained great international fame and do not contain any outrageous scenes, how can we make others believe us?"

"When it comes to aesthetics, everyone has their own opinions. We need to be open-minded and have a broad mind that tolerates everything."
