To put it simply, generally speaking, the movies displayed at the film festival are etiquette.

Applause is etiquette!

Of course, if the movie is too bad, they may even ignore etiquette and just scold: "The movie is too bad!"

For example, Abu Dai Kossix, the director of "Adele's Life", came to Cannes after four years with his new work "Fate, My Love". The first screening was booed. After the screening press conference, he simply started to fight with the reporter on the spot, saying, "I think I broke the boundaries of the movie and went forward step by step. Not everyone can understand it. My actor is a genius, and I am also a genius." The reporter called him a fool...

Really calling him a fool!

The post-screening press conference of "Hunting" was completely friendly and exchanged.

"It's not true to see, let alone hearsay? The "sense of justice" driven by blinding my eyes is blinded. It's like my first time going to the United States, and many people asked me why I didn't keep my braids as a Chinese!"

"Who fired the last shot?"

"This is not important, maybe a passerby with a sense of justice. In the last shot, Lucas stood by a dark valley stream. The shooter was on the hillside with sunshine. He was on the commanding heights and he was in the sun... Compared to admitting and accepting the truth, they care more about their own dignity. This is exactly the dark side of human nature. Some of them not only do not have the greatest apology, but on the contrary, they would rather escape from this truth. They hate this truth. They would rather get rid of this truth forever!"

"Why did you kill him?"

"You can understand that the marksmanship is accurate or the marksmanship is not accurate. This is not important... Lucas will eventually be disgusted and hated by a group of moral giants who do not know the truth."

...

Shen Mengxi was quite happy - the reporters were basically asking him.

What does this mean?

It means they were shocked by this story, not Leonardo's performance!

From the beginning, Shen Mengxi was worried that Leonardo's performance would steal the limelight from the movie.

The Cannes Film Festival is not an Oscar, it has official rules for dividing cakes - if you win the Palme d'Or, you can no longer win the Best Actor and Actress Award...

Unless the judges support it, on May 20, 1991, at the closing ceremony of the 44th Cannes Film Festival, the Coen brothers' "Barton Fink" won a great victory.

He won three awards including Best Actor + Best Director + Best Palme d'Or, which was a sweep! The chairman of the jury that year, Roman Polanski, loved "Barton Fink" so much, and even believed that this film was a tribute to him...

The following year, a new rule was released: The Best Director Award must not coincide with the Palme d'Or.

Of course, the 2003 "Elephant" rewritten the rules: he won the best director while taking the Palme d'Or!

After that, there were no such movies, including "Adele's Life" - the Palme drew to the director and two actresses...

The weight of "Hunting" is obviously not enough!

This year, there are "Tree of Life", "Artist", and "Bicycle Boy" in Cannes...

All three movies are very important!

Shen Mengxi is indeed a little worried, but as long as Leonardo is not in the way, the probability of him taking the Palme d'Or is very high.

So, when I returned to the hotel, I prepared to celebrate with Liu Yifei.

Then…

His wife was not here, so he helped the platform.

The young lady was so busy that she was not touching the ground. Cannes officially kicked off. She had to run three or four events a day...

Chen Mengxi had no choice but to turn on the computer and prepare to see the situation in China - "Painted Skin 3" is still being released!

Then, Nancy and Zhao Jinsong came to find him.

Report the transaction status.

...

After the establishment of Brun House Pictures, David intentionally expanded his distribution business - he really couldn't stand the commission from a large studio, and he could do it at 15% or 20%. Who could stand it?

For overseas issuance, you can only choose to package it - that is, sell it at a bargain price!

They have overseas distribution channels!

After the establishment of Brun House, it signed issuance contracts with several theaters - excluding AMC theaters, Junhao Entertainment and Ximanke Cinema...

These three are the most mainstream theaters in North America, and they don’t look down on Brun House’s strength…

However, it is not rejected by the big-selling films produced by Brun House, otherwise "Luxing 3", "No Reward" and "Brismaids" would not have been a big hit at the box office!

Especially "Brathermaids", Brun's main control investment and main control release, only 1,200 cinemas were screened in the first weekend, and after the first week, the number of screening theaters increased to 3,050!

With a cost of $32 million, it generated a local box office of $150 million, and its overseas results exceeded $110 million...

It's overwhelming.

But overseas issuance was handed over to Universal because Bren House did not have an overseas office.

It was very frustrating, and it was sold in a package of $23 million - the six majors were reduced together, and only the world's highest price was offered.

Especially after knowing that Universal’s overseas revenue from “Brathermaids”, they earned more than 18 million US dollars in TV copyright alone!

Therefore, "Shawk Beach", "Source Code" and "Silent Land 2" were all taken to Cannes and sold overseas copyrights at one time.

"It's not bad. Eworld signed an issuance contract with us and took a 10% share. In addition, Nordiema Group, CGV, and épolis were all 12% commission."

These are the top 20 theater brands in the world, eworld, British theater brands, Nordiema Group, Nordic theater group. These two theaters, plus Germany's Constantine, guarantee the distribution of Europe, épolis, the largest theater chain in South America, CGV, Korean theater chain...

It can basically ensure that several films cover more than 80 countries and regions around the world!

Zhao Jinsong added: "The King of England can handle the issuance in Southeast Asia!"

Chen Mengxi nodded: "Thank you for your hard work!"

By the way, he sighed: "It would be great if we could control the global theater chains. Don't be too much, 15% is enough..."

Nancy ignored him - Cinema investment belongs to the sunset industry worldwide!

Hui reports: "10 days after "Painted Skin 3" was released, and North America won a box office of US$4.2 million. CMX theaters and Southern theaters are interested in introducing them. If they are introduced, the screening scale will reach 1,400!"

"…It's done well, but how did I hear the two theaters you mentioned?"

"Ranking ninth and seventeenth, belonging to small theaters."

Chen Mengxi nodded, then looked at Zhao Jinsong, who said, "I have been following Nancy these days and have not paid much attention to the trading market situation..."

"You should know how much the box office of "Painted Skin 3" is?"

"Yesterday, Song Hang called me and said it had been 530 million yuan. Unfortunately, "Thor" and "Fast and Furious 5" are about to be released, and it is estimated that at least half of the box office will be divided!"

"...There is nothing to do. We can't let others release it. We are not "The Great Founding of the Party."

Hollywood is always the enemy...

"Okay, you two go back and rest!"

“…We will pre-advocate the copyright transaction for "Hunting" first?”

"Prevent the post, I think this movie can win the award!"

Zhao Jinsong's eyes lit up: "Palme d'Or?"

Chen Mengxi smiled with a crooked mouth: "Who knows!"

...

Mama...

The next day, after flipping through the newspaper, Chen Mengxi only had swear words in his heart!

All the film reviews are praising Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Little Li

'"Hunting" is a very explosive film. The lies in the mouths of innocent children triggered a massive "persecution" action in modern society. Leonardo's performance is convincing!' - "Daily Screen"

"The Hunting" is a bone-broken movie. The tepid narrative and calm and rational cameras brewed with almost desperate depression, mania and coldness, and a knife that penetrated the bones into human nature and social morality without mercy in the trembling. Leonardo once again took out the strength of the actor!'—"Variety Show"

Finally found a comment in The Guardian that praised the movie itself, and it was said that photography was awesome.
Chapter completed!
