Chapter 475 It’s not about gender, it’s just love

Shen Xudong felt quite frustrated...

He had good intentions, but no one believed him!

He has been in the industry for four years and has made several blockbuster films, but no one has taken him seriously.

He even told Huang Zhonglei that Harvey was a liar, but Huang Zhonglei still handed over the North American copyright of "The Banquet" to Weinstein Pictures...

Is Zhang Ziyi that reliable?

When people feel aggrieved, they either comfort themselves or choose to vent.

Shen Xudong chose the latter!

Faced with "Nandu", he simply stopped pretending: ""Carol" will definitely win an award... When I made "Carol", I just wanted to win the title of international movie queen as Gong Li..."

"oh…"

"She is so kind to me! I always reciprocate kindness..."

Who cares about this?

Could it be that you have any relationship with Gong Li that goes beyond friendship?

The reporter changed the subject: "Are you so confident in "Carol"?"

"necessary!"

…

Gong Li is very busy. She came to Cannes not only for the movie "Carol", but also for the brand platform!

L’Oreal, Cartier…

Especially L'Oreal. In 1997, L'Oreal Paris entered China for the first time and directly signed a contract with Gong Li...

Nine years of friendship!

I stood for five shows in three days and changed into three outfits alone...

Extremely busy.

There was no time to exchange art with Shen Xudong, but after the interview, the two returned to the hotel together, and then closed the door in a tacit understanding...

Art must communicate, learn from each other, and learn from each other's strengths.

Of course the things that belong to oneself are also good, but they are used to satisfy oneself.

You have to communicate with others and slowly form your own artistic trajectory. This feeling is the feeling of being in touch with the soul of art...

After instilling the art full of positive energy, Shen Xudong sat down and picked up a glass of water...

Gong Li sat down, slapped the hand he was exploring, and suddenly remembered something: "I feel that the theme of "Golden Armor" is not suitable for commercial expression!"

"Yes, if this kind of movie is put in Hollywood, no company will invest in it. Because the whole story is too dark and too desperate. It is only suitable for making a small-budget art film. If you invest more than 15 million US dollars to make such a movie , who is an idiot!"

"It's not bad... With Director Zhang's reputation, plus Chow Leong-fa, Chow Jielun and you, the box office is at least 200 million... It is estimated that overseas sales can also reach 30 to 40 million US dollars..."

In the original space and time, the overseas reviews of "The Golden Armor" are not particularly high - "Hero", "House of Flying Daggers", "The Golden Armor", and "The Golden Armor" have the lowest reviews!

It also had the lowest box office - "The Golden Gate" was released in 1,149 theaters in North America, but the total box office was less than US$7 million!

"House of Flying Daggers" has grossed US$11.055 million in North America!

Gong Li wanted to say something more, but Shen Xudong made a move, and she rolled her eyes, and then her sister chirped~

…

Gong Li really had a great time in Cannes!

"Carol" premiered with bright stars. Cannes Film Festival chairman Jacobs, director Rhian, judges Zhang Ziyi, Monica Bellucci, Samuel L. Jackson were all here, and a bunch of others Chinese filmmakers came to support us.

Feng Xiaogang, Wu Yan Group, and Zhou Xun of "The Night Banquet";

Su Zhaobin, Zhang Zhen, Da S in "The Silk";

Donnie Yen and Wu Jing from "Hurricane Rescue" are also here...

Shen Xudong walked along the red carpet with the crew, and there were cheers everywhere he went, mainly for Gong Li!

Although Evan Rachel Wood from the cast of "Carol" has been involved in the independent film industry, she has not acted in a few noteworthy independent films, nor has she gained popularity in Europe.

Although director Todd Haynes has competed in Cannes, his reputation is not obvious.

All thanks to Gong Li!

At this time, the cinema has not yet opened, and there is already a long queue outside. All tickets for the first show are sold out.

The creative team entered the venue first, and within five minutes after sitting down, the hall of thousands of people was already full!

Cannes is definitely better than Venice.

Not long after, Jacob, the film festival chairman, went up to give a few opening remarks. After the show, the curtain lit up and the premiere of "Carol" officially began.

In fact, most normal audiences don't like queer movies very much, including Shen Xudong, who had watched "Happy Together" before...

It was a bit queasy and there was no way I could enjoy the movie itself!

"Carol" is different...

Both the picture and composition are beautiful!

The movie is shot in flashback, starting with Carol and Tris having a meal, and finally returning to the meal.

Just like when they first met and the little train toy that Therese chose for Carol's daughter, it started over and over again, like reincarnation.

When we first met, Teres was a salesperson at the toy counter in a shopping mall, and Carol was a mother who came to pick out holiday gifts for her daughter on Christmas Eve.

In the bustling crowd of the shopping mall, the eyes of two strange women suddenly met, which may be called love at first sight.

So, when Carol filled in the delivery address on the counter, she accidentally dropped her gloves, and Teres fell into this sudden love...

In addition, this is a somewhat feminist film. In order to focus on portraying the beautiful love between the two heroines, the male characters are given disgusting negative images in this film.

In fact, the original work is quite long - Shen Xudong has simplified almost all the supporting characters, and there is no intention to waste too much text here. However, Carol's family problems and Tris' career are still very typical of the times.

Whether it's her husband Haji who does everything he can to fight for Carol, or her boyfriend Richard who speaks harshly because of Tris's departure, Danny who even wants to have a relationship with Tris, and private individuals Detective Tommy.

The meeting of the two heroines seemed to be arranged by fate, and the moment when they first met was even more perfect.

Carol is divorcing her husband and is entangled in the custody and visitation rights of her daughter;

Tris maintains a relationship that seems to exist but does not exist, and she does not know whether her boyfriend is the love of her life.

The unstable relationship between the two parties can easily cause sparks to fly.

Of course there were moments where sparks flew - Carol wanted to drive out to relax before the verdict, so she invited Teres - along the way, the two people who had already fallen in love at first sight became more infatuated with each other day after day. other side.

The second half of the movie is about the custody battle.

Carol had to leave Trace behind - she had custody of their daughter to fight for...

The detective sent by her husband secretly photographed evidence of Carol and Teres, and added moral principles to the lawsuit, demanding that Carol give up custody of their children.

It seems that it is becoming vulgar, but it is not. This plot lasted less than ten minutes. During the hearing, Carol made the decision to give up custody of her daughter and said to the judge: Morality? What is morality? I think two people

Being together, this is morality, love is love!

No use because her husband denies her the right to visit their daughter unless she cuts off contact with Tris...

At this stage, Tris... was broken up, so she chose to work hard quietly, and finally got a job at the New York Daily News, living an independent and charming life...

Very much like Carol.

At the end, Carol found Tris and returned to the scene at the beginning.

The two people at the table looked at each other and smiled...

The movie ends.
Chapter completed!
