Chapter 1179 Let Me Introduce You to a Heroine
Wednesday, May 26th.
When news of the explosive sales of Kirin Records' music tapes reached Cannes, the film festival here had come to an end.
After more than ten days of screenings, discussions and selections, the final winner of this Cannes Film Festival will be selected tonight.
Qiu Doudou and Xiao Lizhi had long been led by their bodyguards and people from United Artists Film Company to places outside Cannes, such as Paris and Marseille. They just came back yesterday and brought them to Yin Jun. Lots of gifts.
It's a pity that the crew of "Rescue" returned to Xiangjiang in early May. Yin Jun was not able to see Wen Bixia in France, but he missed this girl a little.
Wen Bixia herself didn't care much, Brother Jun couldn't fly away, he would always be hers, why was she waiting pitifully for him, looking so pretentious?
In these 12 days, "The Shawshank Redemption" went from two screening rooms on the first day to five screening rooms afterwards, and the queues never stopped. The number of moviegoers has exceeded There were more than 60,000 people, many of whom came from Paris and other places to watch, and there were also movie fans from nearby foreign countries.
This matter has attracted widespread media coverage across Europe, not to mention the United States and Asia, which have long blown "The Shawshank Redemption" into a flower.
No wonder.
"The Shawshank Redemption" has broken the screening record at the Cannes Film Festival, and has received very high reviews. This kind of treatment has rarely been experienced by American films in the past ten years. ...Well, although Yin Jun is not an American, "Shawshank Redemption" from the author to the film company to the actors are basically Americans, including Yin Jun, who is the boss of Disney and United Artists Film Company , doesn’t it count as us Americans?
The same is true on the Asian side.
Yin Jun is a serious yellow race and the pride of Asia. What does it have to do with you Americans?
Haven’t you seen that the male protagonists are all Zhou Runfa?
This is a victory for us Asian filmmakers!
By now, everyone has understood that the biggest winner at this year's Cannes Film Festival is definitely "The Shawshank Redemption." The only difference is how many awards it can win.
You can’t escape the Palme d’Or.
Yin Jun's Best Director award is probably guaranteed. After all, Yin Jun is so young, and his understanding of film shooting and expression is so profound. No one will suppress such a genius.
What's in suspense now are the leading actor and best screenplay awards.
There is definitely no way to win the Best Actress award because there is no role for a woman in it.
In fact, everyone speculates that there may be hope for the male lead. After all, Zhou Runfa came here last year, and his film "Prison. Prison" was well received. It's just that because he is from Xiangjiang, he is a little behind in competing for awards. did not receive.
This year he is here again, and he is playing the leading role in such a popular movie. If you let him go back empty-handed, it would be a bit unreasonable, right?
The hope for the best screenplay is even smaller, because there are only so many awards in total. If you have won them all, what will others do?
And more importantly, "The Shawshank Redemption" is not an original script, but an adapted script, which has a disadvantage.
But in any case, "The Shawshank Redemption" will definitely win the most awards this year, otherwise it would be a shame for the movie ticket money it earned the organizing committee.
Precisely because there were so many speculations about victory, many people who had connections with United Artists Film Company and Disney Company came over in advance to celebrate.
People who were familiar with Yin Jun also came over to cheer and wait to celebrate.
They are the crew of "Food Truck" who are preparing to film in Spain.
Yin Jun kept his word, because he was going to the United States in April, so he gave the script of "Fast Truck" to Hong Jinbao in advance, and then Hong Jinbao took the script and made an appointment with Cheng Long.
Cheng Long took a look at it and said, oh, this script is good. It was filmed abroad, and it is the Kung Fu comedy that he is best at. He is the well-deserved protagonist, and he has a senior brother and a junior brother around him to help him. He is going to publish it!
"Police Story" has exploded in popularity in Hong Kong and other parts of Asia. This is something Cheng Long is very happy about.
But the problem is that after "Red Zone" became famous all over the world, his mind is no longer in Asia at all. Big-nosed Uncle Long only wants to conquer the world.
"Fast Food Truck" has obvious world elements, and Yin Jun gave him the script and hand-picked him to star. Of course, Cheng Long obliged and followed the crew to prepare, without even negotiating remuneration.
Hung Kam-bao is the boss of the company, Cheng Long's senior brother, and a part-time director of "Fast Food Truck", so Hung Kam-bao is doing all the preparation work.
After two weeks of preparation in Xiangjiang, they rushed to Spain with all their troops in early May and began on-site inspections.
It should be said that the Spanish government is quite supportive of foreign crews coming to film.
Well, nonsense, governments all over the world are like this.
As long as you don't deliberately discredit me, promote the beauty of this place for us, add points to our international reputation, and attract more tourists to us, of course we are very welcome!
Having successfully obtained the filming qualifications and with official support, Hung Kam-bao and the others selected suitable locations for filming, including the most important castle of the final battle, while selecting actors.
For the more important actors, such as the few villain masters who can fight, Hung Jinbao had already negotiated with someone before coming. Several European boxing champions, Sanda masters, and fighting masters all agreed to their invitations and waited for them to arrive. Spain, these guys just came over and auditioned.
The meaning of the boxing champions and masters is also very clear. It is good to make some money and gain a little fame. It is good to get the best of both worlds.
People in Europe and the United States are good at this. They are straightforward and straightforward. They can do the work if they are given money. They are not so pretentious.
However, when it comes to choosing a heroine, Hung Kam-bao and the others encountered difficulties. Cheng Long liked a Miss Spain champion, but Hung Kam-bao thought a model was very good, and Yuen Biao suggested finding an actress with better acting skills.
Although the opinions of the three people cannot be unified, they are trying to get along with each other and want others to accept their opinions - they have been brothers for so many years. It is impossible to say that I am a big star or the boss of the company. With such a Dealing with things based on status. In this era, friendship still carries a lot of weight.
It just so happened that it was time for the awards ceremony at the Cannes Film Festival. The three of us saw that France is very close to Spain. Since we are all leaving, we must support Mr. Jun. After all, we are all family members!
So, they came right over and brought a whole crew with them.
Yin Jun was naturally very happy to see his own people. He invited Shi Shaoming to settle a group of crew members, and he chatted with the three brothers.
After hearing their conflicts and differences, the young man nodded.
In the previous life of "Food Truck", the heroine was quite beautiful, she seemed to be Miss Spain, the one chosen by Cheng Long, and she didn't look bad to Yin Jun.
Anyway, she is the heroine in name, but she is actually just a supporting character. The main scenes are played and fought by three men.
Just when Yin Jun was thinking about what to say, a beautiful figure suddenly floated past his eyes.
"Hey, Sophie, come here!"
The young man quickly stopped her.
This girl has been discussing the plot of "Juno" with Yin Jun in the past few days and asked what preparations she should make.
For convenience, she simply checked into this hotel.
Seeing her in the hotel cafe now, Yin Jun suddenly had an idea.
"Come on, how about you take a look at her?" The young man pointed at Sophie Mazouse in front of him and said, "France's most pure beauty, the heroine of my next movie, how about giving it to your crew to use?"
Fortunately, Sophie Marceau doesn't understand Chinese, otherwise... what does "I'll give you a try" mean? Pepper is definitely going to be furious.
Among these three brothers, except Yuan Biao, who is an honest man, the other two are veterans in the flowers. As soon as they saw Sophie Marceau's plate, their eyes immediately lit up.
She is really much more beautiful than the heroine candidates I have looked for. The purity emanating from her bones makes people reluctant to look away.
Not to mention that she is also the heroine of Jun Shao's movie, which proves her strength... Well, even if she doesn't need her fame now, won't she be able to use it when "Fast Truck 2" comes out?
"Okay, I think it's good!"
Hong Jinbao made the decision first. He never wanted to offend Yin Jun, a destined man.
"I also think this lady is very good." Cheng Long quickly agreed after Hong Jinbao took the lead.
Yuan Biao naturally had no objection.
So the matter was settled...
etc.
When Sophie Marceau saw them talking happily, she couldn't understand them at all, and felt confused, "Hey, Yin Jun, what are you talking about?"
"They are my friends. I wrote a script for them, and it happens to have a heroine. I think you are quite suitable." Yin Jun said smoothly, "Just shoot in Spain, one month is enough, you Just help me?"
"Are you kidding?" Sophie Marceau glared at Yin Jun and said, "I have to join the crew of "First Kiss 2" in June! Where can I find the time?"
"People in Xiangjiang are very fast at filming." Yin Jun thought for a while and said, "If that doesn't work, I'll shoot your scene alone first and let you go first, okay?"
"Hey, when will it be your turn to help me decide everything? Who are you to me?" Sophie Marceau rolled her eyes at Yin Jun, "I don't know any scripts, can it be decided by just one sentence? ?”
"It doesn't matter, I'll tell you about it later. Your role isn't important, so just do me a favor, okay?" Yin Jun said coaxingly, "Their movie wants to sell money in France, no. Is it all because of you, the heroine? It’s not easy for everyone, and I know Sophie is the kindest girl!"
Generally, when a man makes a soft request, a girl will usually have several reactions, but they all depend on the person to whom she speaks.
For a man like Yin Jun, who is a super genius in his own right and possesses such outstanding talents, Sophie Marceau feels very happy and useful when he talks like this.
"Well, then you can tell me the story first." Sophie Marceau smiled, "But don't be too happy too early. I have conditions!"
"What conditions?"
"Tonight's award ceremony, you have to come back with at least two awards before I agree!"
"no problem!"
Yin Jun patted his chest and said.
"Giggle, I think it would be a shame if you don't get the award!" Sophie Marceau chuckled.
At this time, the three brothers’ English skills were still average.
But sometimes communication is done without words.
For example, now, they can clearly tell from the expressions of Yin Jun and Sophie Marceau that the two are flirting and they have successfully settled the matter.
Cheng Long admired Yin Jun in his heart.
Young Master Jun's skills in picking up girls are simply superb!
I want to be famous in the future, and I want to be a great director, so that I can pick up more beautiful women!
