Chapter 619： Flurry of Demons
On the afternoon of the second day after arriving in France, Ronan and the crew of "When Happiness Knocked on the Door" participated in the opening ceremony of the 57th Cannes Film Festival.
As one of the three world-famous art film festivals, the red carpet of the opening ceremony is conceivable for the attraction of stars. The red carpet in front of Lumiere Hall is really a gathering of talents.
No, maybe it's more appropriate to describe it as the Flurry of Demons.
Needless to say, the normally invited guests and the main creators of the competition film, it is natural for these people to walk on the red carpet.
However, after the Cannes Film Festival turned gorgeously in the early 1980s, the business atmosphere became stronger and more sponsors, so the red carpet ceremony will set aside a large number of places every year for sponsors and their spokespersons. .
This is understandable, after all, sponsors spent a lot of real money on the festival.
Even at an art film festival like Cannes, there is still a scene where the rich is the uncle.
Therefore, in addition to the guests invited by the sponsor, there are many people who spend money on red carpet tickets.
It's not too expensive, tens of thousands of euros can walk the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival opening.
During the film festival, certain films premiered on the red carpet, and even only cost a few thousand euros.
The other side of the Pacific hasn't really realized the role of the Cannes red carpet, but the Western entertainment circle has an endless stream of people in the entertainment circle.
For example, Ronan has seen many carpet stars from Australia, New Zealand, Eastern Europe and Latin America.
These people are very easy to recognize. They are not strange faces, but have their own cameramen.
Media reporters basically don't pay attention to this group of people, but this group of people spends a lot of money on the red carpet, naturally wanting a publicity effect, and simply bring their own cameraman on the scene.
The blanket stars are always surrounded by one or two cameramen desperately taking pictures.
And the photos taken are absolutely outstanding, making people who don't know the situation seem to think that the person in the photo is the center of the red carpet.
This is one of the biggest features.
Another feature is that after walking on the red carpet, he lingered and refused to leave.
After all, it is expensive and the opportunity is rare. How can the investment be recovered without spending tens of minutes on the red carpet?
Ronan followed Will Smith and walked up the long steps of Lumiere Hall. The security guards were chasing a star from Brazil. The other party had been in front of the steps for almost an hour, and he couldn't drive away. .
When the beautiful photos of this person walking on the red carpet are sent back to Brazil, people who don’t know what to know will naturally think that her influence has gone abroad and become international...
Nowadays, there are more and more weird things at the Cannes Film Festival.
Ronan walked up the long steps and happened to see the chaos in the media area in front of Lumiere Hall. He stopped and took a look. Only then did he discover that there was an entertainment reporter whose rhythm was broken. When the actress was taking pictures, she got directly under her skirt.
Compared to the Cannes Film Festival, the Oscar's red carpet is really child-level.
Because the little star makes a noise on the red carpet, the big star is also unambiguous.
Many people are criticizing the little star's unlimited behavior on the red carpet of the film festival, but they don't know that this is in line with the big stars.
The beloved French man, Sophie Marceau, who is well-known all over the world, appeared on the stage. Then when she was shooting in the photo zone in front of the steps, Aunt Sophie didn't know whether she was intentionally or accidentally, the shoulder **** one side of the suspender skirt slipped off, and half of her chest was gorgeous. Appeared in front of many camera lenses.
Although everyone is used to seeing Aunt Sophie's body in the movie, this moment is still a sensation...
At this moment, it is estimated that countless carpet stars are screaming in their hearts: You are a world-class movie star, a famous artist, who can play without regard to morals, why can't we go to the red carpet? Your Aunt Sophie is a good talk, but why is it a scandal to rub the red carpet? Just because we are not as pretty as you? A group of eyeball animals who only look at their looks!
You can do whatever you want by looking beautiful?
"Did you see it clearly?" Will Smith asked suddenly.
Ronan did not answer, and asked, "Did you see clearly?"
Will Smith looked regretful: "No! I knew we would stay longer in the media area! That's Sophie Marceau, the lover of my dreams."
"Go." Ronan directly encouraged: "Take out your courage to face the Williams sisters, and go after them with confidence. Will, with your charm, with the openness of Sophie Marceau, kiss Fangze It's not difficult."
Will Smith touched his ears and said, "I have a chance to try it someday."
When Ronan walked forward, he suddenly thought of a report about the Cannes Film Festival that he had read: Why is there always Sophie Marceau on the red carpet?
why? The answer is obvious.
Show the bottom, leaky bear...
Sophie Marceau’s skill in this area is similar to that of Hollywood’s big sister who liked to drink milk.
It can only be said that Sophie Marceau is the goddess of the wind.
Sophie Marceau is one of the few women who fits the aesthetics of most people in Asia, Africa, Europe, America.
This is the Cannes Film Festival, where the combination of glitz, charm and controversy is its consistent style.
Ronan came to Lumiere Hall and saw a familiar face. The chairman of this jury was Quentin Tarantino, a talented director from Hollywood.
"Hello, Quentin." Ronan shook his hand in the past: "I didn't expect us to meet here."
Quentin Tarantino said with a smile: "It's nice to meet you, Ronan."
"Your "Kill Bill" last year was very impressive." Ronan never forgets to dig the wall: "Quentin, when can we collaborate on a movie?"
Quentin Tarantino can only vaguely said: "There will be opportunities in the future."
Ronan nodded and said, "I'm looking forward to "Kill Bill 2."
In fact, for people who have been used to watching kung fu movies and martial arts movies, "Kill Bill" may not be so exciting, but Uma Thurman, a beautiful woman with long legs, plays Kung Fu routines really well. It is indeed a bit novel. sense.
The box office of "Kill Bill" is not very high, but the offline market has responded well.
Having said that, Quentin Tarantino's films have never been outstanding at the box office.
There is also Tilda Swinton from Hollywood on the jury, but Ronan doesn't know her and has no interest in saying hello.
Entering Lumiere Hall, Ronan met a few unexpected people.
"Good afternoon, Ronan." Navas of Lionsgate came over, followed by two people: "These two are very familiar to you, don't you need me to introduce them?"
Ronan saw the man in the white hat and the middle-aged director, and he talked a few words in the past. In any case, the two sides are about a pleasant cooperation.
Of course, Ronan didn't know whether the other party was happy or not, but Relativity Entertainment was very satisfied with that cooperation.
After chatting, the lady Lizao and Mr. Liu, who was the leading actor, also came over, and Ronan also said something to them.
These people wanted to develop a network of contacts in Cannes and soon went elsewhere.
Navas did not leave.
"We are all old friends." Navas suddenly said: "The business that Artisan Pictures has split up, why not cooperate with Lionsgate? Ronan, you forgot, "Human Removal Project" is Lionsgate. The film industry is selling big."
Ronan smiled and said: "I have always been very grateful for Lionsgate's help to Shahai Entertainment, but Spielberg has also helped me a lot. I can't refuse an elder."
Navas was speechless for a moment, who didn't know in Hollywood, Spielberg didn't like Ronan Anderson.
But things have been going on for a long time, and the distribution business of Artisan Pictures has long been in the DreamWorks bag. Navas did not continue to struggle, and said: "Ronan, are you coming here this time, do you have any good movies?"
Ronan shook his head: "The "When Happiness Comes Knock" produced by Shahai Entertainment participated in the competition unit. I came to cheer for Will Smith."
"I know this film." Navas asked, "When will it premiere?"
Ronan said: "Next Wednesday, there will be a small premiere. You are welcome to come."
Navas smiled and said, "I have time to join him." He also invited Ronan: "You and the two Mr. Zhang from the East are old friends. Lionsgate will release their new movie "Ten Faces" in North America. "Haze", this time at the Cannes Film Festival, "Ten Sides of Haze" has entered the screening stage. It will premiere tomorrow. On behalf of Lionsgate, I invite you to participate."
Ronan thought for a while and said, "I should have time."
Navas was confident: "You are welcome to join in, this is a masterpiece even better than "Hero"."
Ronan shook hands with him: "Congratulations to Lionsgate Pictures for acquiring the North American copyright."
At that time Erzhang held the North American copyright bidding for "Ten Faces" in Hollywood. Ronan also participated. At one time, he bid for 5 million US dollars. However, the box office of "Hero" was so popular that Erzhang's new work became a hot spot. , Lionsgate finally killed the audience with a copyright fee of 20 million U.S. dollars and became the North American publisher of "Surrounded Haze".
As for whether the investment can be recovered, no one can say now.
Ronan remembers very clearly Hero" is the second best film in North America at the box office and commercial results.
Saying goodbye to Navas, Ronan took a briefing of this year's Cannes Film Festival. He didn't have much interest in the opening film "Bad Education". Before the film was screened, Ronan once again watched the Cannes Film Festival. List of videos.
This is not only the films that participated in the competition and the exhibition, but also the names of many films that entered the fair.
Like the previous Cannes Film Festivals, most of the film names on the newsletter are very strange to Ronan, but Ronan also saw several familiar names.
For example, Korean director Park Chan-wook's "Old Boy", Sunglasses King's "2046", Coen Brothers' "Old Woman Killer", and the island animation "Ghost in the Shell 2".
And Michael Moore's documentary "Fahrenheit 911"!
Seeing "Fahrenheit 911" and Michael Moore's name, and thinking of the chairman of the jury, Quentin Tarantino, who he met outside Lumiere Hall, Ronan instantly woke up. Once "Fahrenheit 911" won this year Palme d'Or!
