Chapter 608 Prepare for War! Sword Pointed at the Magic City International Film Festival! Fairy Sword? Flower Thousand Bone? I Can't Tell Them Apart

For Chen Fei, this year's 66th Cannes International Film Festival is almost equivalent to his home court.

The chairman of the jury is his partner Steven Spielberg, and the jury members include Chinese director Li An, Japanese director Kawase Naomi, Indian actress Vidya Balan...

All of the above are allies he can win over.

As for the other three judges Nicole Kidman, Christoph Waltz and Christian Mungiu, although he is not very familiar with them, this will not affect his subsequent awards.

Even if these three choose to stand on the opposite side of him, 3VS4 does not have an advantage in terms of numbers, not to mention Spielberg, the chairman of the jury who can directly have the final say.

Of course, the word "underestimating the enemy" will never appear in his dictionary.

While confirming that "The Burning Sun" was shortlisted for the main competition unit, he also went to see his other competitors.

There are 19 films shortlisted for this year's Cannes International Film Festival. In addition to "The Burning Sun", the Chinese film "A Touch of Sin" directed by Jia Zhangke and starring Jiang Wu and Wang Baoqiang is also shortlisted for the main competition unit.

At the same time, "Like Father, Like Son" directed by Hirokazu Koreeda, "The Shield of Straw" directed by Takashi Miike, and "The Past" directed by Asghar Farhadi are three other Asian films worth paying attention to.

In addition, "Blind Detective" directed by Hong Kong director Johnnie To was shortlisted for the screening unit, and "Crossing the Line" directed by Liu Yunwen was shortlisted for the Un Certain Regard unit.

At the end, Chen Fei was "surprised" to find that his competitor also appeared on the list of the main competition unit of this year's Cannes International Film Festival.

"Humble Life", distributed by Weinstein Films.

Let's not talk about other things first. Just from the name of this movie, it fits Harvey's personality very well.

Despicable, bitch!

At this moment, Chen Fei suddenly became curious. Will this fat guy appear at the Cannes Film Festival awards ceremony this year, just like he did last time when he competed for the Golden Lion?

As soon as the doubts arose, he couldn't help but want to know the answer.

After calculating the time difference and confirming that it was only nine o'clock in the evening in North America, he called Amy Knott directly.

The latter has been collecting information about Harvey during this period, and must be very clear about his movements.

"He will definitely go." Facing Chen Fei's inquiry, Amy Knott gave a direct answer: "In addition to investing in the production of movies, the main business of Weinstein Films is to buy out film and television copyrights from all over the world and distribute them on behalf of them.

The Cannes Film Festival is recognized as a temple in the field of art films. It has a very high status among the three major European festivals. The copyrights purchased from there can usually earn a lot of money..."

The more he listened, the brighter the light in Chen Fei's eyes became!

The mastermind of the shooting at the Ushuaia Pier has been found, and it was Harvey Weinstein.

Although it is said that a gentleman's revenge is never too late, if there is a chance to beat this fat dog to death, it is definitely better to do it sooner rather than later.

After dealing with the four mercenaries, Chen Fei has been arranging people to keep an eye on Harvey, trying to find a suitable opportunity to attack.

But this guy probably guessed that the matter was exposed, and he has not appeared in recent months. When he occasionally appears in public, he is surrounded by no less than 5 bodyguards!

Los Angeles is his home court. After years of operation, he has a much larger network of connections and influence than Chen Fei.

However, if they go to Cannes, the two will be at the same level of strength.

At that time, some methods will be much more convenient to use!

Thinking of this, Chen Fei immediately said: "Amy, our chance is coming soon, how are you preparing?"

"Boss, everything is going well on my side, all the preparations have been completed, and now all we need is an opportunity."

Perhaps because it was the first time to operate such a large-scale public opinion campaign, Amy Knott was a little excited: "I need a burning fire! As long as there is a spark! I can make it become a prairie fire!"

"Ok." Chen Fei's mood was inexplicably excited, but his tone was still very calm: "I need a detailed information about Harvey, including his recent various movements."

"Okay, Boss, I will summarize it later and send it to you in an email."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, while waiting for the email message, Chen Fei went to Weibo to eat a wave of melons.

The news in the circle these two days is very interesting.

A large number of actors and celebrities are trying to prove that they have never been to Sanya, or that they have never participated in any so-called "feast" when they have been to Sanya. The news on the Internet is all hearsay and fabrication...

The media and netizens are following this matter, making it very lively. Many celebrities have been involved in the incident and it is difficult to get out.

In addition, Zhang Yimou, who has been silent for a long time, is finally ready to come out after signing a contract with LeTV!

Some paparazzi took photos and videos of him frequently entering and leaving China Film and the General Administration. For a time, many specious speculations appeared on the Internet.

Most of the rumors are saying that his next plan is to shoot an art film, but because the subject matter is relatively special, he will appear frequently in China Film and the General Administration.

Anyone in the circle can understand this. After all, even if Zhang Yimou is called a "national teacher", not all themes can pass the review smoothly.

Lao Mouzi did not deliberately hide it. After the script was officially reviewed, he immediately announced the relevant information to the public.

Immediately, the media and entertainment circles immediately exploded after receiving the news!

"Breaking News: Since "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", the two films have completely fallen apart. Zhang Yimou has chosen to join LeTV, and the new project has been officially approved."

"It is reported that the new film directed by Zhang Yimou is adapted from Yan Geling's novel "Lu Yan Shi" and will be fully invested by LeTV Pictures."

"The script has been reviewed, and the male and female protagonists have been tentatively selected as Gong Li and Chen Daoming..."

This time when he joined LeTV, Lao Mouzi had complete control over the right to speak. Unlike before, he could only cooperate with Zhang Weiping and be his tool.

On Weibo, Zhang Yimou used his own account to personally publish an official announcement:

"The film's title has been determined to be "Return". In addition to Gong Li and Dao Ming, the crew will next select suitable female leads and supporting roles across the country and conduct several months of training. The filming is expected to start in July after……"

The media reports may be false, but Zhang Yimou personally posted an announcement on Weibo, so it must not be false.

For a moment, the entire film and television industry was shocked!

While Chen Fei was scrolling through Weibo, from time to time he would see actors posting Weibo posts related to "Land Prisoner Yan Shi".

Either a photo with the book, or a long paragraph of reflections after reading it, and even more, a photo with the original author, chat records, etc.

Obviously, the purpose of doing this is to get into Zhang Yimou's eyes.

Lao Mouzi has gone too far this time. It is directed by him personally, coupled with the combination of Gong Li and Chen Daoming, and it is also a literary film, so it is obviously going to win awards.

Faced with such a lineup and the temptation of possibly winning an international award, which actor can resist it?

The shortlist for this year's Cannes International Film Festival has been announced online. Chen Fei and Jia Zhangke have undoubtedly become the objects of congratulations and envy from the entire Internet.

Many people regret not being able to participate in the filming of "Heart of the Burning Sun" and "Destiny".

Now, Zhang Yimou is back in the film industry. According to past experience, any literary film he makes will at least get a nomination.

Faced with the temptation of an international award, as an actor, who can resist it?

Anyway, the girls who wanted to do this in the past couldn't help it.

Zhou Dongyu, Ni Ne and others all started to move, and even Zhang Ziyi flew back to the mainland from Xiangjiang.

Even though she is only the second female lead, and she has to act as a supporting role for Gong Li, everyone still flocks to her.

…

An email sent from North America soon appeared in front of Chen Fei.

The content of the email contained detailed information about Harvey, his recent movements, and even information about the girls he had violated.

As Chen Fei watched, he complained viciously in his heart about this beast's shameless behavior!

If it is just a normal "role trade", it is actually not uncommon in Hollywood. After all, there was such a behavior as "red sofa audition" a few years ago.

But Harvey, this bitch, really likes to use force!

It is not until afterwards that he will use various tempting words or methods to engage in pua until he gets tired of it.

Looking at these information, Chen Fei's eyes were full of disgust.

This kind of person should be thrown into jail and sentenced to life imprisonment, and then arrange for a few niggas to live with him.

Only in this way can we make up for the girls who have been hurt by him!

At the end, when the information showed that Harvey often entered the same Four Seasons Hotel as Nicole Kidman these days, Chen Fei's eyes suddenly lit up!

"These two guys actually got together?"

He murmured softly, and suddenly thought of the relevant news about Harvey's wife, Georgina Chapman.

This fashionista will definitely not miss the red carpet at the Cannes International Film Festival. The brand "Marchesa" she founded is indispensable for many female stars and models when walking on the red carpet.

Therefore, she will definitely appear with Harvey at this Cannes International Film Festival.

If a person who is originally a mistress catches his current husband having a tryst with his mistress, what kind of scene will it be like?

Chen Fei suddenly became excited.

"Damn fat man, let's see you in Cannes!"

…

The opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival is on May 15th, so Chen Fei is not in a hurry to go early, as long as he can catch the red carpet.

Jia Zhangke was quite excited. Just three days after May 1st, he led Jiang Wu to set off first.

Wang Baoqiang had to go later because he had to promote "One Man's Martial Arts".

At the same time, as the screenings in May have officially begun, movies that will be released in mainland theaters in June have also launched large-scale promotional activities.

The most eye-catching one is naturally the "Tianji: Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains".

Investment of over 100 million, 3D, action-adventure science fiction film, starring Andy Lau...

No matter which one of the above factors is taken alone, it is worthy of praise and talk about, let alone all of them combined together.

With the release of promotional posters, the attention of many old pornographic fans was attracted.

Lin Zhiling shows off her long legs and figure, which really makes people feel itchy!

Among them, the most popular one is undoubtedly the one taken by Tong Dawei and Lin Chiling.

The former has long white hair, kneeling on the ground, and snuggling with the latter, with desire in her eyes, but trying her best to restrain herself...

Especially with the background of the island country style, Chen Fei was a little out of place.

He looked carefully for a long time, and after confirming that there were no signatures like "Madou" or "Tianmei", he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This movie must not be allowed to children, the atmosphere of wanting to get close to each other is too strong, it will teach children bad things~

...

Perhaps because of the box office success of "Youth", Zhao Yanzi has been quite high-profile these days, frequently attending major talk shows and talking about her future development of her directorial career.

However, not everyone is willing to praise her.

When participating in the live interview of the Sixth Princess that day, the host suddenly asked her: "What do you think of Director Chen Fei's clichéd summary of domestic youth-themed movies?"

This question directly confused her, and she was stuck on the spot.

Although she later evaded the issue by saying "So Young" still has some new ideas, it has triggered a wave of heated discussions and ridicules on the Internet.

Selling feelings can certainly bring in a wave of box office, but for Zhao Yanzi, a graduate student of the directing department of Beijing Film Academy, this kind of movie is obviously not up to standard.

Moreover, at the previous premiere, she also vowed to kill the entire May schedule!

But what about now?

"One Man's Martial Arts" has been suppressing her from beginning to end. No matter how hard she tries, she still can't surpass it.

It really fits the line:

"Today, we will not only decide who is better, but also decide life and death!"

...

There are really a lot of things to do in May.

On the 24th, "Fast and Furious 6" will be released in North America, and Universal Pictures specifically contacted Chen Fei, wanting him to come out to attend the premiere.

However, this request was ruthlessly rejected by him.

The award ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival happened to be on those two days, and he had no time to attend it.

And the song "See You Again" really made Chen Fei speechless.

He couldn't imagine what would happen if a group of main creative members suddenly sang this song on the way to the premiere?

Just thinking about it, he felt a chill down his spine!

He had just rejected the invitation from Universal Pictures, and on the other side, Ren Zhonglun suddenly called him, hoping to invite him to participate in the award selection of this year's Shanghai International Film Festival.

At first, Chen Fei subconsciously prepared to reject Ren Zhonglun's invitation.

Although the Shanghai International Film Festival is also an A-level film festival award, there are too many previous operations, and it is very likely that he will be used as a stepping stone after going there.

But when he learned about the list of judges for this year's Shanghai International Film Festival, he quickly changed his mind.

The chairman of the jury is Tom Hooper, who is an old acquaintance of Chen Fei. The movie "Les Miserables" directed by him this year was invested, distributed and operated by Walton Pictures.

There are four other directors from France, Germany, Iran and the Czech Republic that he is not very familiar with, but it is not important.

Because Ning Hao and Yu Nan also became judges of this year's Shanghai International Film Festival, Chen Fei is so familiar with these two people!

When the time comes, it will be no problem to bring back a few awards!

Therefore, after careful consideration, he simply sent the three movies "The Burning Sun", "Hidden in the Dust", and "The Murderer" to him.

His purpose is to either not participate or to participate in order to win the award!

There is no need to even bring back the Oscar competition process, just need to exert two or three times of strength, and there will definitely be a good harvest.

Shanghai International Film Festival was very excited and excited about being able to invite Chen Fei. On the day of receiving the film, it immediately informed the media of the good news.

For a time, the Internet was so lively!

"According to reliable information, Director Chen Fei has agreed to participate in the selection of this year's Shanghai International Film Festival. Please look forward to it!"

"The Burning Sun will compete in the Cannes Film Festival first, and then the Shanghai International Film Festival!"

"The two films "Hidden in the Dust" and "The Murderer" are also on the award selection list. Congratulations in advance for winning the grand prize!"

...

If the film industry has recently focused on Chen Fei, Zhang Yimou, Jia Zhangke, the Cannes International Film Festival, the Shanghai International Film Festival and other related events, then the focus of the TV industry is naturally on the two fairy tales.

Since the announcement that Yang Mi will play the female lead in "Gu Jian Qi Tan", one or two actor casting lists have been announced almost every few days.

Qiao Zhenyu, Ma Tianyu, Chen Weiting, Zhang Zhixiao, Gao Weiguang, Zheng Jiang, Qi Wei, Li Xiaolu, Zhang Meng...

Looking around, almost all of them are various types of flower boys and popular actresses.

Because of the light, Feiyue Film and Television also recommended a lot of people.

However, only Dilraba Dilmurat and Zhang Yunlong were actually selected.

Other actors inevitably had some regrets, but when the official casting of "The Journey of Flower" began, almost all those who had temporary free time were pulled in to fill the gap.

Feiyinghuang Agency has truly realized the slogan of "Everyone has a role to play", and the artists signed by it are so happy.

While artists in other agencies are trying their best to climb up, Feiyinghuang has already started to select roles.

Huo Wenxi has equipped each artist with a professional agent, and tailored relevant development plans for them according to the future development of the actors, with the main focus on being considerate.

And artists like Yang Mi who bring their own agents after joining the company are also unique.

The moment the casting list of "The Journey of Flower" was officially announced, it caused a huge sensation in the circle again!

"Bai Zihua: Huo Jianhua

The Journey of Flower: Zhao Liying

Dongfang Yuqing: Hu Ge

..."

As expected, when netizens and the media saw the casting list announced by Feiyue Film and Television, they were stunned.

On the Weibo hot search list, a question directly topped the list!

"The two male protagonists of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III" are back?"

...
