Chapter 233 Closing Ceremony!
Batman Begins, which was not favored by Warner’s internal audience and Hollywood film critics in the previous life, achieved unprecedented success at its screening in Cannes this time!
It received great praise from the filmmakers and media participating in this year's Cannes Film Festival!
The media that followed the Cannes coverage gave it direct praise!
'This time Chen's film will undoubtedly be a success again! He will save the little bat that is already on the verge of extinction!'
'The new Batman movie "Batman Begins" was screened in Cannes and was a great success! Chen from China may really save Bruce Wayne! '
'At the 56th Cannes Film Festival, two films set off two carnivals, and Chen was the biggest contributor to this grand occasion! '
'.'
Such reports have been emerging one after another, not only in Europe, but even Hollywood has been paying attention.
Even though they say they look down on it, they still keep an eye on the three major film festivals.
Media giants such as the New York Times and the Hollywood Reporter will report on it.
The sensation caused by "Batman Begins" in Cannes this time is undoubtedly a perfect publicity!
It has aroused great curiosity among North American audiences.
"Is this true? Could this Chinese kid Chen really be as successful as before?"
"Anyway, I have always believed in him and am one of his fans. I went to Cannes specially to watch his competition film, which is undoubtedly the biggest favorite of this Cannes Film Festival. It's a pity that I didn't get the chance to watch Batman in advance, but I was interviewed for more than an hour, which shows the success of the movie. I am looking forward to it even more now."
"I originally thought I would go and see it no matter what it turned out to be. If it was bad, I would scold him online. Now I have to think about how to get tickets!"
"I can't believe that Bruce Wayne has to be successful in the hands of a Chinese!"
"."
Regardless of what people discuss on the Internet, Chen An also believes that bringing the film to the Cannes exhibition is a perfect promotion!
Although this movie was still successful in the previous life, with a global box office of 3.7 million, it did not make much money.
But the word of mouth is surprisingly good!
The reason for this is that at the beginning, the reviews of Warner’s internal film screenings and some Hollywood films were all unanimously not optimistic.
In addition, although Nolan had other works at the time, they were almost unknown compared to Chen An.
It hindered the promotion of the film.
The successful publicity at Cannes will help this movie’s box office reach even higher levels!
As for Hollywood film critics, go away!
I won’t even show it to you!
"Chen, I have to leave first. The screening in Cannes was very successful. I have to go back to Hollywood to ask the company to increase publicity. See you in Hollywood."
"No problem, I will hurry over later. And if Bale's movie is successful, I think we can make a second one. Stay tuned."
"Oh Chen, if that's the case I'll have to ask for more pay."
"Ask for more. Warner is paying for it anyway."
The movie was a success and the Batman crew will not be staying here any longer.
Chen An didn't go to the airport to pick him up when he arrived, but he still saw him off when he left.
After watching them leave, Chen An returned to the hotel.
Although his own films were successfully released, Chen An received many invitations to star in other films.
I want him to go to the movie.
But Chen An didn't take care of most of them and only visited two.
One is the original winner of this year's Palme d'Or, a movie translated as "Elephant".
Many people may be unfamiliar with the name, but they may have heard of it.
It's a story about two bastards who, due to a series of events, ended up armed with guns and massacred the entire school.
The subject matter is quite innovative, but it is not really a movie.
From the perspective of filming style and presentation, it is more like a documentary.
Director Gus Van Sant has also shot several films in Hollywood, including "Unbreakable Skies" and "Good Will Hunting".
Chen An was particularly amazed by "Good Will Hunting".
"It's still really cool to watch it again." Chen An breathed a sigh of relief after watching the film. In my previous life, I watched it mainly as a cool movie, and watching it again still felt like reading a cool article.
It’s hard to imagine that this movie seems to be adapted from real events. Sometimes I can’t imagine how outrageous the United States is.
The shock brought by the screening of the film made it an instant hit in Cannes.
A juvenile crime movie, and it's so tragic.
This directly led to a two-tier polarization.
The reviews are mixed, but regardless, Ru Ge has finally produced a work that can compare to "Shoplifters".
This was definitely a bold attempt for Gus Van Sant.
He knew Chen An, the director and leading actor of the other work.
The leading actor and director are Sean Penn and the old man Clint, with whom he has worked before.
The film he shot is also Sean Penn's masterpiece "Mystic River", which is a combination of the three major European films and the Oscars. It is also known as "Mystic River" or "Date of Murder".
This film, hailed as Clint's best work, will win the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor awards at the Oscars next year.
Just because they encountered the final film of "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy" at this year's Oscars.
The work, which had been shelved for several years, finally won several major awards including Best Picture and Best Director.
Although old man Clint didn't say anything about Chen An's arrival, they still hugged each other and thanked him for his support.
"After our last cooperation, we became competitors this time." Chen An said with a smile.
Clint said playfully, "It's good to compare, after all, you are so young that people are jealous. How can others live if you have everything?"
Although the old man is old, he is still as aggressive as he was in his youth.
The time finally came on May 25th.
No matter what the result is, Chen An, who received the invitation call to the award ceremony last night, is still full of confidence.
This was different from the award ceremonies that Chen An had attended in the past.
This time the program crew specially notified and arranged that the crew of "Shoplifters" would be the finale.
By the time Chen An and his companions entered the venue, the long-awaited media finally waited for the arrival of the "Shoplifters" crew.
Gong Li and Zhou Xun both wore custom-made dresses by the brand.
Zhang Jiashuai was put on a suit of the same size by Ge Da Ye, who put his arm around his shoulders.
Chen An still looked the same as always, wearing an Armani suit that he got from the Batman crew.
Guan Xiaotong was wearing a gorgeous princess dress, which was also custom-made by a luxury brand. She looked small and cute.
He was carried into the venue in Chen An's arms.
Looking at everything around him curiously.
Chen An helped her cover her eyes slightly and said, "The flash is a bit dazzling, remember to cover your eyes."
The little kid put his hands in front of his eyebrows like Sun Wukong to indicate that there was no problem.
The appearance of the crowd also attracted a wave of filming from the media on the scene.
They rushed over one after another, and the crew that appeared earlier were almost ignored!
Chen An greeted the reporters while holding the little kid.
The little kid Guan Xiaotong in his arms also followed suit and greeted Chen An.
After entering, I was arranged by the staff to sit next to the "Purple Butterfly" crew who had arrived earlier.
But Lou Ye was not here this time, and only a few actors stayed here.
Chen An put Guan Xiaotong in his arms on the chair and said to Liu Ye beside him: "Where is Director Lou? Did he leave you guys behind?"
