Chapter 231 The brainless film producer

3.2 points.

Same score as last life.

This is the rating given by the Cannes Screen program after the film was screened.

It is not very high in the history of Cannes, but it is very dazzling in this Cannes.

This is particularly noticeable since it lacks the historical highest score of 3.9 points (total score 4 points) of its original rival "Burning".

This Japanese-style warm and sharp work has undoubtedly captured the hearts of most film critics.

'After seven years, Chen's new film will be the biggest favorite for this year's Palme d'Or!'

Chen An's work at this year's Cannes Film Festival, which has attracted countless people's attention, is finally released.

It has already been crowned as the favorite to win by countless people!
Chen An sighed as he looked at the report. He was more confident than I am. The photo is so good, are you going to take the postgraduate entrance examination? !

I wonder if the judges like to go against you?
If you have the final say, what do we need judges for?
"Dong Dong. Dong Dong"

There was a knock on the door. Chen An put the report on the table and opened the door.

Zhou Xun, Gong Li, Ge Da Ye and some crew members were standing at the door.

"Director, aren't you leaving yet? We are all waiting to see your movie."

Zhou Xun said in a brisk tone.

They all wanted to see the works Chen An had filmed in Hollywood.

Chen An put on the suit jacket hanging on the hanger at the door, straightened it up and said, "Let's go. We've been delayed for a while by reading the report."

Walk out and close the door.

"Director, I heard that this movie cost more than 100 million US dollars?"

Chen An took the lead and Zhou Xun, who followed behind, asked secretly.

"Almost. The investment of 1.4 million US dollars is really good to use." Chen An said calmly.

I feel like an investment of $1.4 million is a simple matter.

The Batmobiles alone cost millions of dollars.

It’s enough to make several films in China.

After getting on the car that had been arranged in advance, everyone arrived at the scene soon.

A red carpet had been laid on the steps for viewing the movies, and everyone who got off the car immediately felt how popular the movie was.

The cameras of the media reporters beside the red carpet were pointed at every visitor.

It was even more grand than the premiere of "Shoplifters"!
Everyone in the crew was stunned, it was like a closing ceremony.

After getting off the car, Chen An held one of their left and right hands and got out.

Zhou Xun and Gong Li both held Chen An's hand with one hand, and slowly got out of the car while wearing high heels and holding their skirts with the other hand.

It was a form of publicity after all, as both of them wore formal attire and appeared in front of the media.

After all, there were not only foreign media in Cannes, but also domestic media, and they kept taking pictures when they saw this scene.

After helping the two out of the car, Chen An let go of their hands, greeted the media around him, and walked towards the door without saying anything else.

"Mr. Jacob, I didn't expect you to be here here." Chen An walked to the door and stretched out his hand with a smile.

I didn’t expect that Gilles Jacob, the head of the Cannes Film Festival, was also here.

Jacob smiled with his shiny bald head and said, "This time Chen brought a competition film and a Hollywood blockbuster to Cannes, so I naturally have to support him."

The man who presides over one of the most watched film festivals in the world, the Cannes Film Festival, looked quite serious but was smiling all the time.

This time, Chen An's two films appeared at the film festival together, creating the biggest exposure in the history of the Cannes Film Festival.

It is estimated that nearly 40,000 moviegoers, film industry professionals, film lovers and nearly 5,000 journalists will attend the film festival.

It immediately broke the record set last year and became the highest in the history of the Cannes Film Festival!

How could he be unhappy? The two of them stood at the door and chatted for a while, and the people behind them also walked here and stopped chatting.

Jacob, however, said to Gong Li who was walking up to him, "Lei Gung, it's been a long time since I last saw you. Your work is still as amazing as ever."

"Thank you for the compliment Mr. Jacob. I didn't expect to meet you here."

Gong Li said with a smile, dragging her skirt.

The two have known each other for a long time, and the other party had invited her to be a judge like Jiang Wen.

In other words, Gong Li is very popular among the three major stars in Europe.

Jacob then had a chat with Ge Daye, the film emperor who won the Cannes Film Festival.

Everyone went into the venue.

At a glance, I saw Jerry standing in a conspicuous place chatting with some people. When he saw Chen An leading the team in, he smiled and waved to him.

Chen An nodded in response.

Turning around, he saw Jiang Wen, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and he couldn't help laughing: "Hey, isn't this Mr. Judge? Are you not avoiding suspicion?"

Jiang Wen, who looked much more listless with his untended beard, said unhappily, "I don't want to bother with you."

Then he hugged Gong Li, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and they chatted with each other for a while.

Then he pulled Uncle Ge's shoulder and couldn't help saying, "Old Ge, you are so lucky. I read this script before and wanted to participate in it, but unfortunately this guy refused to let me."

"That's right. You don't even look at whose fans you are. The best thing I did in my life was to film 'To Live'. Good scripts keep coming to me." Uncle Ge said with a smile, expressing his pride.

Not only did he win the Cannes Best Actor award for his role in "To Live", but he also had a high-quality fan like Chen An, who gave him the Berlin Best Actor award.

Jiang Wen was so angry, it was clearly him who saw the script first.

Chen An asked everyone to sit down first and walked towards Jerry and Bell.

After all, he still had to co-host the movie screening.

"Chen, it seems that you are too welcome. These film producers have gone too far and even want to buy the distribution rights from Warner." Jerry couldn't help but say when he saw Chen An coming.

Chen An felt like he had heard a huge joke. Buying the distribution rights of the Batman movie from Warner?
These film producers must have been kicked in the head, right?

What kind of person dares to say such a thing? Even the other six big names in Hollywood wouldn't dare to say such stupid things.

"I think they are out of their minds." Chen An said speechlessly.

Not only were these film producers looking for Jerry to buy the distribution rights to Shoplifters, they were actually asking him to buy the distribution rights to Batman.

"I think they are quite interesting. If they are willing to spend 300 million US dollars, I can sell them the European distribution rights, hahahaha."

"Then I really think he was the water you grabbed and threw into the sea."

It would be a loss to buy the distribution rights outside Hollywood for 300 million US dollars, including the distribution rights in Europe.

After the successful screening of "Shoplifters", "Batman Begins", also directed by Director Chen, has attracted many targets.

It is even more popular than the second part, "The Matrix 2".

It wasn't long before the theater was filled up, and the three main creators, Jerry Chen and Bell, took the stage.

Of course, it was mainly Jerry and Bell who were saying, welcome the audience.

After getting off the stage, I sat between Gong Li and Zhou Xun. To be honest, this was the first time I had seen this version of Batman.

Because he took the armor with him and was in a hurry to return to China, he did not participate in the post-production editing.

However, my shots and ideas have been clearly written down during the filming, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Even Warner who likes to stir up trouble.

Soon the movie started playing and the Warner logo appeared on it.

Then there was the sound of flapping wings, and a bat logo consisting of a group of bats appeared on the screen.

The dancing bats gathered together to form the shape of a bat dart. Chen An chose to use this cool opening setting directly, just the same as the original version.
