Chapter 791 The Original Cast of Journey to the West Gathers! Cannes Premiere! Farewell to Life and Death?

"Due to the influence of "Avengers 2", the daily new box office of the movie "Left Ear" has dropped to 1.48 million, and the theater screening rate is only 0.7%."

"Due to the influence of "Avengers 2", the daily new box office of the movie "Silent Separation" has dropped to 2.24 million, and the theater screening rate is only 1.1%."

"Due to the influence of "Avengers 2", the daily new box office of the movie "Drug War 2: Heaven and Earth Showdown" has dropped to 42.7 million, and the theater screening rate has dropped to 32.1%."

"On the first day of the release of "Avengers 2", the theater screening rate was as high as 65.4%, and the attendance rate was as high as 97%!"

"Due to the influence of "Avengers 2", many domestic films have failed on the 12th, leaving a lot of regrets."

……

After attending the Cannes Film Festival, when Chen Fei went to watch the news again, he was shocked to find that domestic films were already in a mess.

Looking around, no matter it is the May Day schedule or the film released after May Day, no one can escape the bombardment of "Avengers 2"!

"Ah, sneeze! Ah, sneeze!"

As soon as he went out, Chen Fei sneezed several times in a row, which immediately attracted the concern of Liu Yifei.

"What's wrong? Do you have a cold? Do you want me to ask my assistant to buy you some medicine?"

The medical conditions abroad are not as good as those in China. Even if you go to the hospital for an injection, you have to prepare yourself mentally.

That syringe doesn't look like it's for people!

"No, it's not a cold."

Chen Fei shook his head with a complicated expression.

If nothing unexpected happens, the producers in the mainland film industry should be cursing him at this time. It's not a cold at all.

"Well, since you don't have a cold, let's go shopping with mom in the afternoon, how about it?"

Looking at Miss Liu's expectant expression, Chen Fei finally didn't refuse.

But, his legs might suffer.

Men and women go shopping in completely different ways.

The former usually have a strong purpose when they go out, and once they have completed their shopping, they will go home without hesitation.

The latter is just for fun, playing wherever they go, without any tiredness at all!

It was hard enough to accompany Liu Yifei alone, and now with Liu Xiaoli, wouldn’t his legs be declared useless on the spot after shopping?

…

After shopping for 5 hours in a row, when he returned to the hotel again, Chen Fei inexplicably felt that he had completely lost sensation below the waist.

So, after saying good night to Liu Yifei, he covered his head and went to sleep, and even declined Jia Zhangke’s invitation.

At the same time, while he was sleeping, news of a "top series blockbuster" successfully launched in China appeared!

"At 9:00 a.m. Beijing time, the highly anticipated 3D fantasy series movie "Where is the Road" held a grand press conference in the bustling center of Beijing and officially announced the project!"

"The original cast of "Journey to the West" reunited! Liu Xiaolingtong said in an interview with the media: "Where is the Road" is not only a tribute to the 1986 version of "Journey to the West", but also the inheritance and development of its spirit."

"The film is divided into three parts, co-produced by China and the United States, and will be distributed worldwide!"

"The participation of Hollywood movie giant Paramount Pictures undoubtedly provides strong guarantees for the production of this film;

It is reported that as one of the main investors, Paramount Pictures will undertake the three parts The production of all special effects shots, including real-life motion capture, real-life CG and other full technical support, also means that the audience will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a more real and shocking magical world and experience an unprecedented visual feast. "

"Popular idol Wu Yifan attended the press conference and may play the role of Xiaobailong in the movie!"

"Director Han Yan said that "Where is the Way" will lead the audience to re-experience the charm and power of "Journey to the West" with its unique perspective and story; I believe that in the near future, this movie will become a highly acclaimed masterpiece, bringing endless surprises and touches to the audience."

That afternoon, with the outbreak of these news, it was a sensation on the entire network!

It didn't take long for the relevant news to completely dominate the headlines and hot searches of film and television entertainment, which was quite amazing!

Teacher Liu + Teacher Chi + Teacher Ma + Teacher Liu + Wu Yifan... Such a strong cast, coupled with the support of Paramount Pictures, a top old Hollywood company, is simply too attractive.

In addition, Mr. Liu also fired a stern shot at "A Chinese Odyssey Part 3" at the press conference, which attracted the attention of countless netizens.

This person has a really hard temper and is very good at confusing right and wrong, which is hard to guard against!

When the reporter mentioned "A Chinese Odyssey Part 3", he said very fiercely that Liu Zhenwei was completely blaspheming "Journey to the West" and said that there should be only one Sun Wukong in the world...

When these remarks were reported, as expected, they topped the headlines again!

…

On the morning of the 14th, Chen Fei and Liu Yifei got up early.

At 9 o'clock, the two called Zhu Yawen, who also got up early, and went straight to the largest screening room of the Cannes Film Festival!

Today will be the first day of the film "The Worst Man in the World" after it was filmed, that is, the world premiere ceremony of the film.

When the three arrived at the scene, they found that many media had already arrived in advance, and some top film critics, directors, actors from all over the world... and all the judges of this Cannes Film Festival were already present!

Looking around, the scene was still mostly foreigners.

"Fei! Crystal! You are here..."

Seeing Chen Fei and Liu Yifei arrive at the scene, Cate Blanchett, Matthew McConaughey, Woody Allen and others came to greet them.

The first two came to Cannes because the movies they starred in were shortlisted for the main competition unit of this Cannes Film Festival, while the latter came to Cannes because the film he directed was screened in the non-competition screening unit.

In addition, many Japanese, Korean, Indian filmmakers and a large number of European filmmakers came to the scene.

In addition, Hou Xiaoxian, known as the "light of Taiwanese movies", also came to the scene with Shu Qi, Zhang Zhen, Ruan Jingtian and others.

Although Chen Fei was not familiar with him, he still greeted them in a friendly manner, adhering to the principle of "a guest is a guest".

No matter how they fight in the nest, when they go out, they are all from the same country, so they will naturally give each other face.

"Director Jia, why are you late again?"

"Haha, I drank a little too much last night and almost missed the premiere. My fault, my fault!"

Hundreds of guests and reporters filed in. Everything in the screening room was ready. After they sat down, the movie could start playing.

Chen Fei deliberately greeted several Cannes judges in the same row and got to know them.

Although he didn't think that this would win them over to vote for him, it could lay the foundation for future public relations.

Today is the first time that the movie "The Worst Man in the World" is open to the outside world. As a film directed and acted by Chen Fei, it undoubtedly attracted the curiosity of many people at the scene.

As the film was shown, everyone suddenly found that this movie was completely different from what they had expected in their minds!

At first, many people thought that this movie was prepared by Chen Fei for "himself", but soon everyone found out that it was not the case.

The whole film shows the confusion, choice and growth of the heroine "An Xi" in love, career, family and other aspects through the life rhythm of the heroine "An Xi". The theme is profound and close to reality, which aroused widespread resonance among the people on the scene.

Chen Fei captured the changes and conflicts of "An Xi" in different situations with delicate and smart lens language.

The heroine Liu Yifei perfectly interpreted the complex role of "An Xi" with superb and natural acting skills.

The cooperation between the two made the film reach a very high level in audio-visual presentation and character creation!

In addition to the superb lens language and actor acting skills, the film also has a very "amazing" way of unfolding, that is, "twelve chapters".

From the beginning to the end of the film, each chapter has an independent subtitle and storyline.

This narrative method is both novel and creative, allowing the audience to have room for breathing and thinking while following An Xi's life.

The movie reflects the difficulties and challenges faced by contemporary women through the story of the heroine "An Xi".

This authenticity and universality is an important highlight that Chen Fei specially designed to impress the audience and judges!

As the film screening was about to end, Chen Fei deliberately observed the state of the guests on the scene.

In comparison, female filmmakers are more serious and emotional than male filmmakers when watching this movie.

Because most women are emotional, it is easy to put themselves into the life trajectory of the heroine and move forward together.

The starting point of the film may not be so high-end or profound, but it can attract the support and attention of some female groups.

And this is why Chen Fei used this movie to help Liu Yifei win the award, because it has a unique advantage in the process of impacting the actress award.

"The performance is very good, and the acting skills have improved!"

In the dim theater, Chen Fei leaned close to Liu Yifei's ear and gave a word of encouragement.

"Hehe, it's mainly because you wrote a good script and shot a good movie."

Liu Yifei is very good at controlling Chen Fei's vanity. She would praise him from time to time, which made him feel flattered occasionally.

This kind of unfeminine and unpretentious behavior is also one of the reasons why Chen Fei likes her.

On the contrary, if she acts like a queen in her daily interactions, and then acts in various ways and has some confusing tempers, Chen Fei will definitely stay away from her in time!

The relationship between men and women is equal and complementary, not that one is born superior to the other.

Both are born by their mothers and raised by their fathers. Why should they be grandchildren to each other when they are in love?

When the film ended, Sophie Marceau stood up first and gave warm applause!

As a European woman, she was very satisfied with the subject matter of this film, and Liu Yifei's acting skills as the heroine also won her heart.

Soon, with Sophie Marceau's leadership, the applause at the premiere became more and more enthusiastic, gradually piling up, forming waves of sound!

"The Worst Person in the World? No! It is right to bravely pursue the life you want. It is just what outsiders think is bad."

"Crystal, you have contributed top-notch acting skills and demonstrated the freedom and independence of women!"

"As expected of a director who has won the Palme d'Or, he is really strong. Although this movie is not at the level of the Palme d'Or, it should not be a problem to win a Best Director or Jury Award."

"Is there going to be another Cannes Film Queen in the Chinese film industry?"

"I really didn't expect that Director Chen actually understands women so well; he must have had many relationships, right? Otherwise, how could he write such a wonderful story?

But the outside world seems to have never heard of his love affair, and I don't know who is so lucky? Who can actually walk into his life?"

...

The premiere of "The Worst Man in the World" was very successful!

Although it cannot be said that it has won the love of everyone, it has successfully amazed more than half of the guests, as well as many fans and fans who came after hearing the news.

The media and reporters hurried back to finish their manuscripts.

If nothing unexpected happens, at the latest tomorrow morning, you can see relevant reports about the film in the internal publication of the Cannes International Film Festival.

In the next period of time, "The Worst Man in the World" will continue to be screened in many major screening halls of the Cannes Film Festival for filmmakers from all over the world to watch.

"It's a really good film. Congratulations to Director Chen for winning the grand prize in advance!"

Wanda also sent a delegation to purchase films during this year's Cannes Film Festival, and as the general manager and vice president of Wanda Pictures, Ye Ning was the head of the delegation.

"Then I'll borrow Mr. Ye's good words."

Chen Fei responded with a smile, and he didn't want to talk to Ye Ning for more, because the premiere of "Mountains May Depart" directed by Jia Zhangke would be held in the afternoon, and he had to go there.

However, Ye Ning seemed to have something to say to him, and he kept talking about this and that and refused to leave.

Chen Fei couldn't help but wonder: "Mr. Ye, is there something...?"

"Haha, it still didn't escape Mr. Chen's eyes." After laughing, Ye Ning said seriously: "Director Chen, I actually want to ask, is there any possibility of guaranteed release of "Operation Mekong"? "

Hearing this, Chen Fei was not too surprised.

It is normal for Wanda to have this idea, because this movie is recognized by the industry as the most core top blockbuster of Feiyue Film and Television this year!

"Guaranteed minimum? How much does Wanda want to guarantee?" Chen Fei asked with interest.

Ye Ning obviously had a plan in advance, and immediately said: "We can release it with a guaranteed minimum of 2 billion box office!"

Chen Fei nodded slightly, worthy of being Wanda, this courage is absolutely amazing!

"This condition sounds really good."

"What does Director Chen mean? Do we have the hope of cooperation?" Ye Ning smiled and waited for Chen Fei's answer.

Unfortunately, he did not wait for the expected answer.

Chen Fei shook his head and refused: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, compared to 2 billion, I actually want to continue to fight for a higher goal."

"Okay." Although Ye Ning was a little regretful, he did not force it: "Okay, in that case, I wish Director Chen to break the 3 billion box office in advance!"

After that, he suddenly paused, and his expression became complicated.

"Mr. Chen, the cooperation between Wanda and Feiyue Film and Television has always been carried out with me as the hub in the past few years. There shouldn't be anything that makes you dissatisfied, right?"

"Of course not." Chen Fei was a little surprised: "Why did Mr. Ye say that?"

"That's good." Ye Ning smiled and suddenly changed the subject: "In the future, no matter where I go or which road I take, I hope to keep this friendship with Mr. Chen forever and never change!"

Hearing this, Chen Fei felt more and more confused.

What's going on?

Why does this sound weird, as if there is an inexplicable feeling of "parting life and death"?
