Chapter 660： 5 emperors and 6 queens
On the evening of May 28, the 59th Cannes International Film Festival officially closed.
Near 7 pm, outside the movie palace, it has been deserted a lot.
Most of the tourists, filmmakers, buyers and sellers have left this seaside town.
After all, there is no platform like Cannes, so there is no benefit in staying any longer.
Of course, Lyman and the creators of No Country for Old Men arrived on time and attended the closing ceremony.
There were no cheers, no large number of reporters, only the red carpet was still paved.
Everyone passed through quickly, with anticipation, but a farce ushered in.
In other words, among the crowd, only Lehmann was a little mentally prepared, but he was still disturbed by the judging panel's tricks.
The less important Fabisi Awards were awarded to "Climate" and "Paraguay Tree Hammock."
The Golden Camera for "Budapest Island"...
In short, the intention of dividing the fruit is too obvious.
Think about it, the Palme d'Or was won by Ken Loach's "The Wind Blows the Wheat Waves". Although it is controversial, it is actually very small. After all, people's qualifications are there, and they have competed in Cannes several times, but this time they got what they paid for. wish.
Then, the film "Flanders", which also involves anti-war ideology, won the Grand Jury Prize. This is a bit outrageous, but the director of the film, Rachad Bochara, is French, and the geopolitical plus points are politically correct. Give it.
Immediately afterwards, the King of Sunglasses gave full play to the principle of "returning the favor", and did not neglect another film predecessor, Pedro Almodovar. The best script this time is also a matter of course, not a bad deal, but the script award Compared with the Palme d’Or, it’s definitely a bit lower grade. In order to make up for the old ones, the six actresses of “Return” all won the Cannes Film Actress;
And the actresses have given six, can there be too few movie stars?
As a result, the five male stars of "Glorious Years" collectively won, and they matched with the six major movie queens.
Not to mention other things, it's obviously admirable to present the award like this, to boast about the performance level of European actors - this is not a sin.
Of course, Lehman also participated in this transaction.
Therefore, the jury award, which is second only to the Palme d'Or, was accepted by "No Country for Old Men". In addition, in return for Lehmann's support, Firefly recruited Mexican director Alejandro Alejandro won the best director for "Babel".
Looking at the entire award distribution, between Europe and Hollywood, sharpness and political correctness, men's rights and women's rights, masters and newcomers, etc., the jury led by the King of Sunglasses has found a balance point, and no one has fallen behind.
Therefore, this Cannes Film Festival ended successfully in such a "win-win" situation. I have to say that the King of Sunglasses has a good coordination ability. No wonder the film was well-made-isn't the happy ending so great?
Of course, multiple wins are multiple wins, but the media and the public are angered.
There are countless titles such as "Five Shadows and Six Queens" and "Shadows", and a lot of artillery fire was concentrated on the awards ceremony.
The organizing committee is also very troubled - is the cake divided? It's so outrageous that 11 actor awards are given out at once. Isn't this standing and being sprayed?
After reading the distribution of the awards, there was an uproar in public opinion, shouting injustice and shady voices came one after another, and the newspapers also became popular and rhythmic.
People have also learned a lot. Those who have seen double-yolked eggs at the film festival have never seen 5 or 6-yellow eggs?
——Your chickens are really good.
Anyway, this Cannes Film Festival was a big scandal.
Due to the time difference, when the news reached the United States, it caused a commotion again. American newspapers were also happy to read French jokes, and they took the initiative to report.
For a time, the public opinion in these areas was surprisingly unified, and they all sprayed it from various angles.
Doubts continued.
In addition, there are also a group of people who think that "No Country for Old Men" did not win the Palme d'Or is also a product of shady.
But Lehman himself didn't care about this statement, but Liam used this turmoil to portray "No Country for Old Men" as a victim image, and the popularity increased a lot.
Of course, if you are scolded and scolded, the organizing committee will not stand up and make any statement. Is it common for film festivals to be scolded?
Is there still less shady scenes at the Oscars?
Big brother, don't laugh at second brother, but this time Cannes was a mess.
Just ignore this, if you take it too seriously, you will already lose.
So, on the closing day, when Lehmann received the trophy, he immediately turned his attention to No Country for Old Men, which was being shown.
After the first weekend, "No Country For Old Men" was no longer a single-day champion in North America, and it was screened for 5 days and ranked second with a total of 59.35 million;
The third-ranked "The Da Vinci Code" has gradually lost its strength, only getting 57.12 million.
"Beyond the Hedge", the fourth on the list, received 46.28 million.
......
The 12th horror movie "See No Evil" earned 8.79 million weekly total.
It is worth mentioning that the cumulative global box office of "The Da Vinci Code" has exceeded 350 million. If you remove the production budget and distribution expenses, you can definitely make a lot of money. As for the championship, it was airborne by "X-Men 3: The Last Stronghold", which recently joined the battlefield this weekend.
The "X-Men" series has no doubts about its ability to attract money. It only took three days and pre-screenings to earn 120 million US dollars at the box office and won the first place in the North American film market for the week (May 22 to May 28).
The film is directed by Brett Ratner, who has directed "Rush Hour", and tells the story of a pharmaceutical company trying to develop a drug to treat a genetic mutation, which makes the X-Men face a choice story.
The addition of such a blockbuster will instantly change the situation of the battle.
For Lehmann, of course, he hopes that the release schedule of "No Country for Old Men" can be a little less stressful, but obviously, this is not something he can control, and he must let others make money.
There is no way, life has to go on, and the first week's harvest of 59.35 million US dollars is not too low.
......
In the midst of such hustle and bustle, the bosses of EMI, Gaumont and Europa suddenly invited Lehmann to get together.
Although it was easy to talk on the phone, chatting and discussing, but it was actually about the promotion of "No Country for Old Men" in France.
To know that the talks were rushed that day, Liam only came up with a preliminary cooperation agreement, and many things still need to be discussed in detail, not to mention that the distribution work of "Untouchable" also requires the cooperation of several companies. to talk about.
After all, the preparatory work for "Untouchable" went quite smoothly, and when Lehmann frees up time, he can shoot.
In other words, if you want these local snakes to contribute, you have to talk about specific interests, and their control in France is not the top.
After all, it's all interests.
If you are in the film industry, you cannot do without this.
Since people open the invitation first, they are obviously very sincere - "No Country for Old Men" and "Untouchable" are both good projects, at least that's how they see it.
Lehmann had a headache. If they really took it seriously, obviously it would be impossible to cut just a little bit of meat, and it would probably be a massive hemorrhage.
Alas, the producers are still too weak in terms of distribution, be it North America or France.
After all, no matter how good a movie is, if there is no good schedule and no good theater resources, it will be restricted everywhere.
Seeing others take the least risk and take a lot of advantage, it is really unbalanced in my heart.
The channel is the four characters of Wang ~ www.novelhall.com~ expresses how much sadness in the industry.
Lehman couldn't help thinking: "It can only be done after seeing the tricks, otherwise what else could be done?"
Is the movie not released? Not for sale?
"Anyway, if you can't escape, you will have to be slaughtered sooner or later."
After Layman agreed, he comforted himself and said that being slaughtered at least has the value of being slaughtered. If there is no benefit, who will take care of you.
Take it slow, one day, we can also go to the top to see the scenery.
Of course, before going to the appointment, Lehman had to meet and chat with the King of Sunglasses.
As for the so-called transaction, people are notorious, and they get benefits, so they have to deepen their friendship.
Furthermore, don't underestimate the connections of the Sunglasses King. This guy is also popular in Hong Kong and the mainland. He is also very influential in many mainstream film festivals. For Firefly, he is a good friend.
However, second only to the field of literature and art, business is also a hammer.
Few of the films made by the King of Sunglasses can make money. His broken film company is also an empty shell. He may not be able to raise much money if he empties his family.
However, the King of Sunglasses has no shortage of investment to make movies, and a lot of people give him money, provided that the project is reliable...
