Miss Lee came to Cannes as a representative of Samsung Entertainment with a large Korean delegation. Since the policy of 'building a nation through culture' was established, the export of Korean culture has become a direction supported by the Korean government, and film is one of them. Top priority.
Therefore, even though only one Korean film was shortlisted for the main competition this time, and Daenerys Entertainment helped to operate it, in terms of non-competition and simple screenings, there are Korean films everywhere, and Korean film representatives The team has grown to several hundred people.
On the yacht at dusk.
The call lasted less than ten minutes, and Miss Li arrived quickly. She was very surprised that a certain man appeared in Cannes. Moreover, she seemed very happy that someone finally took the initiative to contact her this time.
She hugged the man reservedly, and when she saw him taking the initiative to kiss him, she slightly accommodated her. Then they sat down together on the sofa on the upper deck of the yacht, looked around curiously, and asked, "Why are you here in Cannes?"
Simon hugged the girl next to him, feeling the cool night breeze on the Mediterranean Sea, and said with a smile: "Let's join in the fun."
From Simon's perspective, Cannes was equally lively this time.
Not to mention the series of shortlisted or screened films related to this, there is another one, which is the only film in Simon's memory that has not been rejected by this film festival. It will also cause a lot of things in Cannes in the near future.
The name of the movie is, The Devils Are Coming.
Lao Jiang struggled for several years, tossing a circle of investors to the point of collapse, and finally completed it. Then, something even more devastating happened, that is, there was no more. Each company was scratching their heads, and tens of millions of investments could not be completely wiped out, so they decided to make up for the losses internally and externally, and signed up for this Cannes Film Festival without approval.
In fact, Simon feels that if this film can enter the competition a year in advance, the chance of winning the Palme d'Or is very high.
Because during this time last year, the war in Kosovo was in full swing.
Even if The Japanese Are Coming cannot be regarded as a standard anti-war film, due to the quality of the film itself and the fact that it can be more or less associated with anti-war, and it just caters to the general mood of the left-wing film circle at that time, it might win a big prize.
This time, it's hard to tell.
However, Dancer in the Dark, who was supposed to be the winner of this Palme d'Or, was dropped by Simon Butterfly. Daenerys Entertainment’s The Beautiful Legend of Sicily, which is promoted this time, is just like The Devil’s Coming. If it can be brought forward a year, the hope of winning will be improved. Now, the film has had its premiere here. Even though Simon had reminded Tornatore before and the heroine was replaced by his own Golden Rose Cave Princess, in the end, it was the heroine Malena who completely suppressed the film. Its own brilliance is not a favorite in this session.
As for other films, such as this one from South Korea, The Day a Pig Fell into a Well director Hong Sang-soo's new film called Flying Red is also lukewarm. Lao Wang's Linlang, which just premiered today, even if the quality is excellent enough, for Lao Wang personally, there is no breakthrough, and the probability of winning an award is very low.
In short, it still depends on the performance of other films and the taste of this session of judges.
Miss Li understands that for filmmakers, Cannes is a movie mecca, but for the men around him, in his current position, no matter what level of movie event it is, it is just a part of the fun. Hearing the answer given by the man, Her Royal Highness the Princess did not feel that it was perfunctory. Instead, she thought about it and asked again: "I had already gone to the cinema to watch that Kung Fu show. I heard it was great. Why don't you come to join in the fun? Aren’t you going?”
Simon smiled and said: "I came up with the idea of Kung Fu. From the script to the sample film to the finished film, I have watched it many times in advance. Do you think it is necessary to watch it again?"
Only then did Miss Li react. However, hearing the man's matter-of-fact tone, she felt a little arrogant: "Then why are you coming here to join in the fun?"
Simon said: "I'll take you to see, um, an anti-Japanese film tomorrow morning. How about it?"
Miss Li understood instantly and said, "You mean, Jiang's devil is here?"
"Um."
Her Royal Highness the Princess tilted her head, pondered the man's tone, and asked tentatively: "I feel like you are planning to do something bad?"
"yes."
Isn't that a bad thing
There is an old Chinese saying that adds fuel to the fire.
Think about it, a controversial movie that attracted the attention of super tycoon Simon Westeros.
Um
In this way, no matter what, I can buy Lao Jiang an extra three to five years of no guidance period.
Miss Li was just guessing at first, but when she heard the man admit it so readily, she immediately squinted over and said, "I knew you were a bad guy."
"There's nothing you can do about it. Only bad men are liked by women. No one loves good men."
""
Miss Li couldn't listen to this person's words, so she simply stood up. When she saw that someone didn't follow her actions, she started to pull him like a savage girlfriend: "Come on, come and look around with me."
Simon had to get up.
Holding the man's big hand, Miss Li first came to the railing and admired the small town of Cannes for a while, which was gradually dotted with stars, and then asked: "Is this your yacht?"
"Yeah, actually I don't like yachts very much, but they all think that a man as successful as me would be useless without a yacht."
Miss Li was too lazy to complain, and continued to drag the man off the top deck, downstairs, and walked around, and somehow ended up in the luxurious master bedroom on the yacht.
Looking at the big bed, Her Royal Highness the Princess wanted to pretend to be shy, but she sniffed and soon noticed something strange. She let go of the man and walked to the big bed, sniffing and sniffing like a puppy. He came over frequently with an expression of guilt, "I must have discovered it."
Damn it, this perfume smell may have come from before I arrived!
Simon neither explained nor concealed, he just smiled and followed forward. Sensing the man approaching, Her Royal Highness the Princess hesitated for a moment. She felt that she shouldn't be so easy to talk to, so she stopped the man before he pushed her down. However, facing those aggressive eyes, she dodged a little, doubting herself. When it's time to obey, hold on until the end and whisper, "I, I don't want to be here."
Simon held the girl's slender waist and after hearing this, he just pecked her on the lips: "Okay."
I began to feel inexplicably lost again.
Even angry.
So easy to talk to
Turning her head, Miss Li remembered one thing: "I have an invitation to a charity party here. Can we go together?" She said with some teasing and inquiry, and looked directly at her: "I heard that the British man wore an invitation letter. The concubine will also attend."
ps1: Obviously, it’s not over. I originally planned to finish writing it before the year, but I took a month off before, thinking that I would be out of shape when I started again, but I didn’t expect that I was in better shape. Moreover, I was a little reluctant to finish it at random with tens of thousands of words, mainly because the few plot points I was considering to finish were relatively late in the process. However, after the new year, I started writing occasionally and spent more time on new books. Anyway, don’t take the coder’s promises seriously.
ps2: The Year of the Tiger is coming soon. I wish everyone all the best in the new year. Don't be too greedy in life. If you can get what you want, you are lucky.
ps3: Based on last year’s experience, you can actually watch the Spring Festival Gala. I went to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
