    At this time, Luc Besson couldn't help but feel excited. In fact, apart from the financial power, this crew was completely under his control. As a young director, such an opportunity was more than rare.  Moreover, his favorite choice for the male lead is Jean-Reno. Ever since they started working together on "The Penultimate" in 1981, Jean-Reno has been Luc Besson's favorite actor and the actor he has collaborated with the most in his life.  Side characters who appear too many times don't count.  However, Luc Besson doesn¡¯t quite agree with Mo Fei¡¯s other statement.  With such a good story idea, coupled with him as a rising future director, and Phoenix Culture, uh, subsidiary operations, wouldn't it still make money?  So while Luc Besson agreed to Mo Fei, he also felt uneasy in his heart. He wanted to see how much box office this film could get with his best efforts in production.  It's just that Luc Besson couldn't have known, and couldn't have told him. Did he already know the box office performance of this film? In his previous life in the 1990s, he only bought more than 40 million US dollars. He said that  But there is a reference.  No matter how good the operation is now and the publicity is in place, in this era, as long as it is not a Hollywood movie or a super blockbuster movie, the possibility of getting the set results is almost zero. This "Killer Leon" is the top one.  The box office has doubled compared to the previous life. Anything more is basically a fantasy.  There is no need to ask Jean-Reno's room about this matter, Luc Besson can agree for him. At this time, Jean-Reno has just made his debut.  Even in films such as "The Final Battle" and "Absolutely **", he was not the absolute protagonist. Now he has the opportunity to star in a leading role in a movie that is likely to be a hit.  There was no way he could refuse.  After talking to Luc Besson, there is nothing left to do. The person who prepared the crew and related matters naturally fell on Luc Besson, and he himself was very happy with it. Could it be that all he had to do was  Waiting to attend the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival.  ¡°Mofei today is no longer the lost young man who just came to this world in 1984.  The halo above his head is the best proof that he is one of the most successful producers in the world and has won the Oscar for Best Screenplay.  The Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film Director, etc., have brought him a high level of attention.  At the opening ceremony, the combination of Mo Fei and Hong Gu was definitely one of the most photographed.  And he wasn't trying to avoid suspicion or anything.  Either letting Hong Gu hold his arm, or putting his arms around Hong Gu's slender waist, he looked calm and composed under the cameras of reporters, which also caused the scandal between the two to fly in the sky again.  Many people really don¡¯t think this is a big deal. As a partner at the opening ceremony, this kind of behavior is strictly etiquette and a necessary courtesy.  Although Mo Fei is still wearing the iconic 'Chinese formal suit', Hong Gu is also wearing a modified version of the cheongsam with a strong style.  But it¡¯s this sensitive mix and disparate styles that brings them even more attention.  ¡°Actually, this is all the fault of the reporters.  You must always find a way to forcefully involve various topics, and then give your news a shining selling point. Otherwise, will you still be worthy of the title of reporter?  Who told Mo Fei's reputation to be like this? Who should blame him if not him?  There is another reason for such attention, that is, "Farewell My Concubine" is designated as the opening film of this year's Cannes Film Festival. The film's producer and heroine will of course be more eye-catching.  Regardless of the opening film or not, I am quite confident that "Farewell My Concubine" can win the award. The experience of being a general in the previous life is one aspect, and the production of the film itself is also an indispensable reason.  Then there is the chairman of the jury for the main unit of this year's film festival. It is Sidney Pollack who has just negotiated the first cooperation with Mo Fei. I believe he will definitely say a few words for this film. This can be regarded as luck.  Bar.  Among the three films brought this time, the one I hope to win is "Farewell My Concubine". This film in the previous life won the Palme d'Or. He has also seen the film produced this time, and it is no better than that one.  Bad, some of the scripts and shots have been improved and could be even better.  "It would be a shame for Mr. Kai if he didn't win the award. People are just pointing out this movie. You have taken it away by chance. It would be outrageous if the honor of the movie was also ruined."  As for "Peace Mountain", although it has also entered the main competition, it is clear that the atmosphere of buying that film is very good. If it really wants to compete for the Palme d'Or, the possibility is not very high.  In the end, even with the honor of being nominated and screened at Cannes, it can be regarded as worthy of Xu Anhua's title as Berlin's Best Director.  Another film, "Samantha" directed by Zhang Wanzhen, was shortlisted for the special attention unit.  An award established relatively late in Honggu at the Cannes Film Festival, it is specially created for talented new directors.We have always supported niche films with unique aesthetics and novel styles to encourage filmmakers with different visions and styles to continue their efforts.  It¡¯s hard to say whether this movie will win an award. If you look at the movie itself, the zombies will be fine. However, judging from Zhang Wanting¡¯s fame and influence in Europe, it¡¯s only 30% to 50% sure.  It's really hard to say.  If Zhang Wanying really wins this award, it will definitely be a good thing for her.  Not only is the influence of the award itself, the winning film will also receive sponsorship from the film festival to support its release in France.  France is the birthplace of world cinema, and its film art is enough to influence the whole of Europe. Winning this award is basically equivalent to opening the door to Europe. It can be said that it is really profitable.  After the opening ceremony, Mo Fei¡¯s characters participated in various movie viewings and discussions, as well as those so-called forums.  Of course, these things don't mean much to him. Apart from quietly absorbing the experience of those old directors, all he can do is sit there and doze off.  The main reason is that he is too young. Even if he has won many awards, he is still a young man.  In front of a bunch of old fritters, he said nothing would be too good. Some people like young people and some don't.  Especially this time at the Cannes Film Festival, there were two guys he didn't like very much, so he had nothing to say.  One is Italian-American director Martin Scorsese.  A guy who has forgotten his ancestors and betrayed his current position, and some of the things this guy has done have made Mo Fei look down on him. Although he did it in the history of his previous life, Mo Fei still feels this way in this era when those things have never happened.  Guy has intense hostility.  The other one is the Japanese director Nagisa Oshima. This director does have two skills.  He was the winner of the Cannes Best Director award eight years ago, and was also nominated in 1983. This year's popularity is not low either.  But this guy adheres to the usual habits of the Japanese.  The film is simply a salty one, and those things are never missing. Although many directors regard certain types of shots as treasures, Mo Fei, who has a bright face, is not willing to get too close.  It's really not good for his reputation.  Sometimes something happens.  It's not just that you can get away with it if you want to avoid it. Someone really tried to get close to Mo Fei, and it was the guy he hated the most at this film festival, Martin Scorsese.  This guy also won the Palme d'Or many years ago. Now he naturally wants to find a condom that is close to the same level as him, and Mo Fei is the best choice. He walked through the crowd and greeted Mo Fei politely: "Hi,  "Mr. I am Martin Scorsese, nice to meet you!" Looking at this guy with black-rimmed glasses, he looks like a Kentucky Fried Chicken colonel.  Could it be that I really don¡¯t know what to say? It¡¯s not too much to say that it¡¯s a gentleman¡¯s demeanor to be so courteous, but why do you have to do those stupid things? I¡¯ll make you angry just by imagining it. No matter how polite you are, I won¡¯t do much.  Take care of you.  He just shook hands with the other party politely and said a few words, and directly cut off the other party's stolen goodwill: "Hello, Mr. Scorsese, nice to meet you (voice-over: I will kill you if I get the chance), then  There is a friend here, so I'm going to be rude." After saying that, he and Hong Gu walked over to Oshima Nagisa. To be honest, he would rather stay with the old pervert than say a word to old Martin.  , probably a kind of mental mysophobia.  ¡­ In the film industry, there is such an organization called the ¡®International Association of Film Critics¡¯. Relying on its seniority and speaking to enough people, it always steals the limelight at major film festivals and award ceremonies.  Every year, they form their own juries at film festivals around the world, and award their awards - the "FIPRESCI Prize" - before the film festival awards ceremony. It's really shameless for people to hate them.  But this time I can¡¯t hate it anymore, because the International Association of Film Critics gave Phoenix Culture¡¯s film ¡°Farewell My Concubine¡± their grand prize at this year¡¯s Cannes Film Festival, the FIPRESCI Prize in the Main Competition.  You can't treat him with a cold face. Reporters from newspapers, radio stations, TV stations, etc. are just waiting for him to laugh.  When the day came for the awards, it was as expected.  With its perfect artistic style and full and vivid shots, "Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or, the biggest award at the 39th Cannes Film Festival, and became the biggest lucky person.  And the old Martin who greeted Mo Fei earlier also changed from a face full of fighting spirit to a look of dishonesty. After a few words of false congratulations to Mo Fei, he left without saying a word. The old guy was probably very angry.  .  And Hong Gu, who had high expectations, did not disappoint him. With her perfect acting skills in the two shortlisted movies "Farewell My Concubine" and "Peace Mountain", she won the Best Actress Award.  But did Jean not think about it?Unfortunately, this award is actually below "Peace Mountain". It seems that sometimes pre-judgments are not very reliable.  ??And what left Mo Fei speechless the most, and what left many people speechless, was the "Jury Award" that Leslie Cheung received. This award is generally only awarded to directors.  The reason why this award was awarded to him is even more speechless. It turned out to be due to the jury's voting error, and he made up for this award.  After learning the reason, I couldn¡¯t help but laugh and cry, and I felt lucky for Zhang Guorong. If it had been that year in history, he would never have received this award.  I remember that at that time, it was because Claudia Cardinale, a female judge on the jury, liked Leslie Cheung¡¯s crossdressing appearance so much that she gave him a vote for Best Actress, leaving him one vote behind.  Just missed out on Best Actor at Cannes.  But this time, the two female judges on the jury made the same mistake and voted for Leslie Cheung for Best Actress, causing him to also miss out on the Best Actor award. Fortunately, this time the chairman of the jury was West Germany.  Ni Pollack was so impressed that he announced the dramatic voting results and gave him a replacement Jury Prize as a consolation.  "Isn't it strange that this kind of thing is not surprising? Zhang Guorong in "Farewell My Concubine" is really more beautiful than a woman. It seems that my disguise as a woman is very powerful.  (To be continued)
