I’m a Director, I’m Not Bad

Chapter 172 170. Got it (10,000!)

After thinking about it, Xu Xin took a few steps closer and came to the middle of the steel structure construction and drainage construction.

The sound of cutting machines can be occasionally heard on one side, and the sound of pipe erection can be heard on the other.

Then he answered the phone:

"Hey, Director Shang, tell me."

It was a coincidence that as soon as he opened his mouth, the cutting machine over there started to make sparks and made a noise.

Shang Jing was stunned and asked with some confusion:

"Xiao Xu, where are you?"

"I'm at the construction site, at Shenmu."

"Construction site?...So late?"

"right."

Xu Xin responded and said loudly on purpose:

"Because of the Olympics, Director Shang, there's a bit of noise here. What's the matter?"

"Uh... Well, that's it. I cut out twenty episodes of "Wulin Gaiden" some time ago, and then I found eight sets and handed them over to see if they were interested. Then they gave me a reply today, one thousand Six million, copyright buyout, I think it’s okay, how about it?”

“Buzz~~~~~”

The sound of the cutting machine rang again.

To be honest, a 10 million investment resulted in a 16 million buyout.

Excluding everything, Xu Xin's net profit is about four million.

Because there is also Shang Jing's money and Ding Caishen's script fee.

It has been paid before.

The copyright of "Wulin Gaiden" is currently in the hands of Headwind Entertainment.

To be honest, as far as TV series are concerned, although it is not a big hit, the profit is not low.

But the issue is a copyright buyout.

Disposable.

Rather than the first broadcast or carousel.

If CCTV is only broadcasting for the first time, but the rotation rights are still in the hands of Headwind, the first broadcast will make a small profit, and the second and third rounds will be big money.

Then this TV series is a fairly long-term benefit.

At first glance it looks good, but in reality it is a loss.

Xu Xin doesn't think there's anything wrong with the premiere rights. The return of more than 40% is enough for any place. But if you agree to buy out the full rights... it's obviously not a smart move.

Director Shang's butt is...a little crooked.

But he said before that he would not interfere in any matters related to Headwind Entertainment.

What's more, since Liu Momo had informed him of his rejection in advance, he could only "tell the truth":

"Director Shang, although I am an investor, you don't have to talk to me about how much it will cost or what it will be for. I will let Sister Mo handle it. I don't care about this matter, you can just talk to her directly. "

"Well……"

Shang Jing was stunned for a moment and then said:

"Aren't you a commission?"

"We are partners. The entrustment is just a normal procedure, but we have an agreement in this regard. I only give opinions on these things, but I have no decision-making power. I think the price is okay, but you have to find signatures and other things. She. The copyright is in her hands."

"..."

Shang Jing was immediately speechless.

After thinking for a while, he said:

"She disagrees."

"...Huh? Why?"

Xu Xin continued to pretend to be confused.

"Because I thought the price was too low, I told CCTV that they had already planned it. If Mimi hadn't suddenly come out with the Cannes news, CCTV might not have relented. Now I want full copyright if I let go. Isn't that impossible? , but we have to keep talking.”

"Well……"

After hearing this, Xu Xin actually understood what Liu Momo was eyeing.

CCTV is now the well-deserved industry leader, and this cannot be faked. He is the well-deserved overlord in the TV drama industry.

They buy it, buy it and broadcast it, and use their huge audience base to promote advertising.

What you earn is advertising fees.

Moreover, the prices of TV series on CCTV are not particularly outrageous. After all... people have a big plate.

As the main revenue point, advertising fees have always been coveted by many film producers.

However... Unless it's a drama of super high quality, CCTV usually won't relent in this regard.

That's money from someone's own pocket, why should I give it to you?

As for the price of this TV series, if it is the first broadcast, even Xu Xin can accept it. In fact, it can be seen that CCTV is quite fair. But you want to simply take away the full copyright of 16 million?

Yes, it's not impossible. Then let’s talk about advertising fees.

Thinking of this, he felt for no reason...this sister's appetite is quite big sometimes.

Counting on Yang Mi makes me want to bite off a piece of CCTV advertising money...

It's probably unlikely.

But... again, on the one hand, Liu Momo asked him to refuse, and on the other hand, he did promise not to interfere with anything at Headwind Entertainment.

Therefore, following Shang Jing's words, Xu Xin could only say:

"Director Shang, you really can't talk to me about this matter. I don't understand this aspect... not to mention I don't have time to think about it. If you don't believe me, ask Director Zhang, what I am doing now is of great significance to the Olympic Games. How important it is. So...I've been very busy recently, not to shirk you, but I really don't have the time to worry about these things. How much to sell or what, I can only say that you don't have any pressure, okay? But I can't control how to operate these specifically, and I don't have time to control them. The construction site here is still running 24 hours a day."

The words fell...

"Sizzsssssssssss..."

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The sound of pipes and cutters rang out.

It's getting noisier.

It sounded harsh to Shang Jing's ears, let alone Xu Xin.

So, he said logically:

"This is my opinion. Just talk to Sister Mo, okay? It's too noisy here. Just talk to Sister Mo and then just tell me the result, okay? I'll hang up now. "

"That's...ok...okay, let's talk. Xiao Xu, you can be busy, okay."

The phone hangs up.

Xu Xin quickly exited this noisy area.

He rubbed his ears and sent Liu Momo a message:

"I told him, you two talk, I don't care about it, thank you for your hard work."

After sending the message, he put the phone in his pocket and ignored it.

There's really nothing you can do about it.

There's still a lot going on here.

…

The first round of Cannes nominees will be announced on April 15th.

Then three days later on the 18th, the second round list was announced.

All films will be screened and screened starting on the 27th of this month.

The shortlisted director team from all over the world was given nine days to arrive here. The screening lasted for a total of thirteen days. All screenings ended on May 10th, and the awards ceremony started on the 12th.

These procedures and invitations will also be issued one after another through the Film and Television Association related to Cannes, and Jay Chou and others have also prepared the relevant procedures for going abroad.

But Yang Mi can’t go for the time being.

Her departure date is set for the 10th, which is the day the screening ends.

There is no other way, Renyi Pai's drama "Yanjing People" is on, starting on April 23rd and continuing until May 9th.

During this period, she had to stay at the Capital Theater.

As a young actor who has only joined Renyi for less than a year, being able to get the role of "Su Fang" and perform another of Cao Yu's masterpieces also represents the girl's acting talent and level.

In the hearts of girls, one can imagine the importance of this drama.

As long as you can act well, you don't need anyone else to gain confidence in your acting career and your acting skills. It is a huge affirmation for yourself.

Therefore, during this period of time, she was split between school and entertainment.

Then during the break between rehearsals, I would catch an early morning flight to shoot some magazine covers and the like, and come back in the evening.

Very tiring, very hard.

But she didn't let Sun Ting and Xu Xin talk.

Anyway, my boyfriend was staying in Shenmu during this period, and he didn't know where he was... He just lied and passed away.

Otherwise, with his protective virtue, it would be strange if he ran away like this and didn't explode.

Xu Xin indeed didn't know about this either.

Because when the two of them talked on the phone every night, Yang Mi never mentioned it. Even if she turned off the phone once, when Xu Xin called Sun Ting, she only got the lie of "Sister is in the dormitory."

He must have 100% trust in his girlfriend.

So I didn't take it seriously.

Time passed like this in a busy and endless rhythm. In order to hype up the popularity, Jay Chou agreed to Xiying Studio's plan. On April 20th, the single was released: "The Secret That Can't Be Told" OST of the same name, which is also the song in the new album - "The Secret That Can't Be Said".

As soon as the song came out, his fans immediately went into a frenzy. At the same time, it also adds another fire to the movie "The Secret That Cannot Be Tellable"!

Then, on the 26th, ignoring the comments on the Internet about how "The Untold Secret" got to Cannes, Li Pingdong led Jay Chou, Gui Lunmei, and two people sent by Xiying Studio, plus Wanwan here The two people from the distribution company, Huang Junlang, and Warhead set off for Cannes.

Liu Momo is responsible for ground handling and translation.

Needless to say about the social meeting, Xiying Studio, which was still suspicious of Liu Momo at the beginning, heard that this short-haired girl had used some means to postpone the first screening of "The Untold Secret" until after 3:30 pm. Also convinced.

The prime time for screenings is in the afternoon and evening, with medium screening times in the morning and worst times in the second half of the night.

And if it can be put into the time of 3:30...even if it is only the first round, even if it is only one day...

This girl is quite capable.

As the media followed up, photos of Jay Chou and Gui Lunmei appearing in Cannes were also circulated.

Only Yang Mi was not seen.

But no one was surprised.

As early as the 23rd, Yang Mi's whereabouts had been disclosed online.

From the 23rd to May 9th, she was among the cast and crew of the drama "Yanjing People" launched by Renyi.

This has also made this version of "Yanjing People" more popular invisibly.

In the past, dramas were relatively niche, and they were only watched by people who loved watching them, knew how to watch them, and how to appreciate dramas, an art form that is completely different from the way movies are expressed.

Actors are here to practice their acting skills.

There are also people who really like drama.

But most actors come to act in dramas because they don’t have much resources.

But this situation is rare in human art.

There are many big names in the art world, and these people can all be said to be "actors" in the true sense.

Therefore, other people's dramas are sparse, but Renyi's dramas can't be sold out, but the audience is still relatively large.

But the emergence of Yang Mi's news directly changed "a large audience" into "a packed house."

On the first day, because the news had just come out, I couldn’t see anything yet. After all, there were many friends of so and so who came to support me that day.

It was normal for the entire Capital Theater to be full.

But starting from the second day, there were suddenly more... young faces in the Capital Theater.

Just like some of the people you often see in bars.

For some regular guests, you only need to take a look and know that these people are definitely either coming here for the first time or coming here very rarely...

He exudes that incompatible temperament.

At first, they were confused about who was coming, but when the performance ended and the actors took their curtain call, the group of people understood what was going on when they spontaneously shouted out the name "Yang Mi".

Is this...going to the theater to chase stars?

But no matter what, through her popularity, Yang Mi suddenly brought the drama "Yanjing People" into the eyes of many people.

Including the comments from people on the Internet who came back after watching it, what:

"It's my first time to watch a drama. It's so interesting."

"Unlike movies, live performances... are very fresh."

"At first I felt awkward and couldn't stand it, but after I got used to it, I found it more comfortable than the rhythm of the movie. I don't know why."

"It's very contagious. At first I thought they were so embarrassed, even though they were on stage, they acted just like the real thing. Later, when I got immersed in the story, I felt different... It's a great story."

The performance lineup produced by Renyi, the script of the drama master, and the solid internal and external performances spread bit by bit through the mouths of these new audiences.

It seems that...it has really made some contributions to the spread of the drama.

Among them, Yang Mi's performance, although not amazing, was extremely solid, and more and more people remembered her.

Just a little regretful.

After the show ended, the reporter who made the connection through the backstage interview didn't get anything out of the girl's mouth.

The scene at the Asian Film Awards that day happened to her again.

Only this time the angle is changed.

No one cared about a group of actors who were not famous but were very solid in their performances. Their spears and cannons were aimed at her from the moment they entered the room, surrounding her.

But it was different from the scene at the Asian Film Awards.

This time, the girl resolutely refused to answer any questions other than the performance of "Yenjing People". She even personally introduced the actors backstage to reporters and media, calling herself "teacher" and hoping everyone would pay more attention to the play itself. Her words were firm and she would not answer any questions. Questions other than those related to the play are disrespectful to everyone involved in this show.

She didn't know what the reporters thought.

But at least in the hearts of the actors and actresses in this performance, this little girl...

sensible.

…

"The cold coffee left the coaster, and the emotions I held back were far behind..."

Cannes.

When the piano solo and his own singing sounded, Jay Chou's heart lifted into his throat.

Today is the first day of screening.

At less than 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Jay Chou, Gui Lunmei, Li Pingdong, and Liu Momo had already arrived at the assigned screening theater.

But instead of making a high-profile entrance, he made some disguises.

Cannes prohibits crew members from entering the venue when a film is being screened.

The purpose is to prevent the audience's judgment of the film from being unbalanced due to personal reasons.

But we are not prohibited from eavesdropping and watching...

Anyway, as long as you don't get discovered.

When Jay Chou arrived, he was still worried about attendance at first.

After all, in the morning, they went to see a new film "Park" by Gus Van Sant, the director of "Elephant".

At first, Jay Chou thought that as a directorial work that would allow Cannes to break the tradition of awarding both Best Picture and Best Director to one person, it would definitely have a very large audience and a lot of people. The result was a slap in the face.

Except for a few of them, there were less than 50 people in the screening room of "Psychedelic Park".

Then I contacted the other party and the movie screening time was in the morning...

Liu Momo came up with a conclusion, which was recognized by Li Pingdong.

That is... because Van Sant broke the tradition of Cannes, he suffered resistance from Cannes fans...

Otherwise, the other party definitely does not deserve this kind of treatment.

Regardless of the movie, Jay Chou has been worried about the attendance of "The Untold Secret" ever since he heard this sentence.

Came here early to see how the tickets were selling.

As a result, as soon as I arrived at the entrance of the theater, I saw a long queue.

At the end of the queue is the ticket window with "SECRET" hanging on it.

Obviously, this group of people came to see this movie.

And look at the composition of the people in the team again...

Um.

can only say……

There are so many people in China.

Wherever we go we are compatriots.

In the long queue, foreigners accounted for no more than 10% at most, and the rest were all Asian faces...

Several people were actually a little confused.

However, it was Li Pingdong who was an old Jianghu person who said:

"Well, it seems that there is no need to worry about attendance."

Indeed, there is no need to worry about attendance.

But people...

That's how it works sometimes.

If you lack something, you want it, and after you get it, desire forces people to want more.

If you don’t worry about people anymore, then start worrying about reputation.

So, after the movie theater was closed, Jay Chou and the others squatted outside... wanting to see everyone's reaction.

No one dared to go in and see what was going on.

Because Li Pingdong said that there will be inspectors in Cannes, and it is very bad to violate the rules.

Therefore, everyone can only listen through the door.

But because he is easily recognized...even if he is disguised, there is a risk.

Therefore, Warnhead and Huang Junlang could only lie at the door of the closed screening room, with their ears pressed close, to detect the movement.

"How's it going?"

Jay Chou asked in a low voice.

After listening to the warhead, he suddenly said:

"Brother, I'm singing..."

After the words fell, let alone the warhead, even Jay Chou heard the singing inside:

“The most beautiful thing is not a rainy day~”

"It's the eaves that sheltered you from the rain~~~Oh~~~~~~"...

"You said that letting go of love gradually will go further..."

"Why bother to change~the time that has been missed~..."

The chorus of fans of "The Secret That Cannot Be Telled", which has been released for a week, started ringing.

But Jay Chou was speechless.

Please...

I just want to see everyone's true reactions.

Why are you here singing?

It's not a concert...

If I can win an award, I can give you concerts every day...

I want to hear the feedback...

Before he could speak, Huang Junlang's door was pushed open.

Alang didn't pay attention and was hit.

Then, a few middle-aged foreigners came out and were stunned when they saw Huang Junlang...

One of them seemed a little confused. After saying "AH~DESOLE", he apologized and tilted his head...

But he didn't say anything and left directly.

The warhead didn't care about Huang Junlang at all. When a few French people opened the door, his eyes peeked inside.

pity……

This door has an automatic closing function.

He didn't dare to stop it from closing, and the door quickly closed again.

Just like that, everyone was in silence, listening to the singing inside...

After listening to the whole song, suddenly...

"oh!!!!"

"Hua la la la la..."

Applause and cheers rang out from inside.

At this moment, Liu Momo walked up to Jay Chou:

"We have to go, reporters and media are coming."

Hearing this, Jay Chou quickly responded and left with the big guy.

And after walking out of the safe passage, away from the crowd.

Jay Chou took another look at the main entrance of the theater where the crowds were entering and exiting, and said tentatively:

"It's...not bad?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Except for Li Pingdong, no one else knew what to say...

Let’s just say it’s good, it’s pretty good. There were so many people watching, the cheers were loud, and there was even a big chorus.

Not bad indeed.

Can……

Now everyone actually doesn’t know whether it’s because of the song or the movie itself…

If there is applause and cheering at the end of the movie, and then singing, and then applause and cheering again, it must be a success.

Regardless of whether he won the award or not, at least he was affirmed.

But now... no one has any idea.

Cheers, yes.

Applause, yes.

The ending theme also received positive reviews.

But the question is...how is the quality?

So, no one knew what to say.

At this time, Li Pingdong was the first to speak:

"Ha, actually the audience's reaction does not determine the judges' opinions."

The middle-aged man held a cigarette in his mouth and spoke in a relaxed tone.

After all, he is a veteran of the martial arts world and has experienced big storms. Looking at a group of "cute newcomers" scratching their heads, he naturally has to step up and lead the team.

"Today's screening is for the audience and the film critics. But the final tone of the judges' conclusion has basically passed round after round of review and has been set. So it doesn't matter whether it is good or bad. Relationship. You don’t have to think about what impact you can have by relying on the audience’s applause and success. You don’t have to think that it has any impact just because there is no audience. It’s unnecessary~ It’s done, now it’s time to enjoy this event that belongs to the movie. .”

After hearing his words, Jay Chou and Warnhead felt a little better.

but……

Following Liu Momo's gaze, Li Pingdong also glanced at her.

Through this glance at each other, the two people have understood that a certain point of view in each other's heart is actually the same as their own.

All the faces here today are Asian.

There are very few foreigners.

Although it is not ruled out that I did not buy tickets... but overall, the audience of this film in Europe seems to be very small.

It's a little worrying.

At this time, Warhead asked:

"Director Li, where can we see the evaluation?"

"It's on the Cannes website... but it's not there yet. It's dinner time. People here in France are quite lazy. Even if there are film critics who can write reviews, they must be after dinner. So... let's go to dinner. ?How about it?"

After hearing this, everyone naturally had no objection. They nodded and quietly headed towards a good restaurant nearby under the leadership of Liu Momo.

After the meal, others wanted to watch movies and see the works of other directors.

Only Warhead, he maintained a high degree of concentration and enthusiasm for the movie he starred in.

Do you want to go to a movie?

Okay, let's go.

I go back to the hotel...

No, I have to read the comments...

After hearing this, Liu Momo rolled his eyes and asked a very heart-wrenching question:

"Do you know French?"

"Well……"

…

It’s 11:30 pm French time.

In Jay Chou's hotel suite.

Everyone's attention was focused on Liu Momo. She found the "SECRET" column on the Cannes website, clicked on it, and pulled down.

The Cannes Film Festival does not have a so-called audience message board, but there will be links to articles by professional film critics.

Usually, comments from film festival visitors who come to participate in the exhibition can be seen on another website.

This website is not an official website, but every year it lists one movie after another based on the shortlist for discussion by fans who have watched it.

Compared with how movie fans view this film, which can be used as a benchmark, it is obvious that everyone cares more about the opinions of film critics.

Perhaps because it was too early, there was only one film critic link on the entire website. After Liu Momo clicked on it, he began to translate for everyone:

"This article was written by film critic...Jean Parson Madeleine."

"Is he famous?"

Before Liu Momo finished speaking, Warnhead asked.

After Liu Momo thought for a while, he said:

"Second tier. Still far away from being a major film critic. Not particularly authoritative."

"Well……"

Warhead seemed a little disappointed, and Guilunmei asked:

"What did he say?"

"Let me see...well, let me translate it for you. His first sentence: Thank God, I finally saw the enterprising spirit of Chinese filmmakers. They are finally no longer satisfied...satisfied...excavating the ugliness of human nature" side of it.”

"..."

"..."

"..."

No one in the room knew what to say...

"My definition of this film is very clear. It is two extremes. It has a very eye-catching directing style, but at the same time, the actors' acting skills are a disaster..."

After the smooth translation came out, Liu Momo quickly stopped talking.

Somewhat embarrassing.

What's even more embarrassing is the others...

"No...it's okay, just keep talking."

Hearing Jay Chou's words, Liu Momo nodded:

"good."

However, after reading the next sentence, she decided to translate it euphemistically:

"It probably means that the actor's acting skills are still very immature. That's what it means."

"...It's okay, just translate it directly and we can all accept it."

Obviously, Jay Chou wants to hear the "truth" more.

"...Okay...I don't know why a director with such a strong personal style would make such a mistake in the casting process. In my opinion, his role selection is a complete disaster. The male protagonist..."

She glanced at Jay Chou again, thought about it, and continued to translate:

"The male protagonist's acting skills are jerky and dull, full of the taste of a layman. The heroine's performance looks good at first glance, but in fact the core is hollow and soulless. As for the other supporting roles, except for the male protagonist's father, it seems that It all sounds artificial. The casting of this film is simply disastrous... Well, what follows is basically criticism, so I won’t translate it. I’ll just talk about the next paragraph.”

Liu Momo looked at everyone's expressions and simply skipped this part:

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, after talking about the shortcomings, let's return to the movie itself: Frankly speaking, it is the most comfortable movie I have watched about Chinese movies in recent years. And the last time I was disappointed When Chinese movies feel like this, it's still "Not One Less"... Well, "Not One Less".

When I watched "No One Less" in Venice, I was moved by director Zhang Yimou's ability to fade away the deliberately artificial colors and begin to explore natural and simple beauty. But that movie was like a flash in the pan. Just when I thought Chinese films had begun to enter the next stage, I was frustrated by the fact that in the past few years, those Chinese filmmakers continued to participate in exhibitions with obscure and dark themes.

First of all, the directorial style of this film is great. The reason why a film is called art is that its most basic definition is composed of colors, lenses, and interpretation objects. Whether it is the color palette, scene layout, or the comfortable rhythm of this movie, you can see the control of a director.

He infused the film with his own distinct personal style.

I like to use the scenery to highlight the inner world of the characters, and I like to express the rich and colorful inner world of a man and woman in love through a comprehensive environment rather than monotonous acting. Of course, it doesn't rule out that he is making up for his shortcomings as an actor. He can make up for it to the greatest extent possible. I think he is great.

The second is the continuity of rhythm. This script is very interesting. At first glance, it seems that there is one story line throughout, but in fact the director shows us four different endings. And these four endings are not very abrupt intersperses, but are reasonably buried in the main line. With his comfortable but not slow main story, it unfolds bit by bit.

There is even an interesting point in this film. It is full of rationality, that is to say, you can summarize the four endings...or four completely different lives into one, and you can also use the ending of the main line to deduce that at a certain key point in time, if a man What result will the protagonist get after making another choice?

The director sincerely presents four reasonable "tragedies" to everyone. But it didn't overexaggerate, and it was dealt with in an understatement, making people feel happy that he made the right choice.

Please forgive me for mentioning the Chinese movie again, because this movie really gave me a big surprise. He did not over-exaggerate the tragedy and seemed to be insulated from the darkness. He even did not deliberately analyze the malice and ugliness coming from the campus in the film. And this is why I think Chinese films have been treading water over the years... or even regressing.

I have never felt that obscurity, darkness, and the ugliness of human nature can be the key to the highest palace of artistic achievement. Humanity's desire for light must far exceed darkness.

And this movie, at least I think, is from the hands of a person who has a lot of sunshine in his heart. Using the script, using this ingenious combination of stories that are divided into four but united into one, it allows us to see a story that is both physically and mentally enjoyable. At the same time, through the control of the camera, the entire seemingly single story was arranged into an intriguing youth movie that can be understood without being overly professional.

Obviously, this is an excellent movie. But like I said before, its flaws are equally obvious. First, the script is not deep enough, and its upper limit is very low... Even in my opinion, its depth is limited, but the director worked hard to bring it to a level beyond the limit in a limited script, which is already remarkable. achieved. Secondly, it is the acting skills of the entire cast that drags it down greatly, and it should have deserved a better rating.

Finally, my point of view is: Although this is a severely divided youth love movie, people of different ages can find their own resonance of memories in it. So I recommend watching it. Moreover, it is indeed a new style that is difficult to see in Chinese movies, and it is even the Chinese movie that has given me the biggest surprise in the past two years.

At least my colleagues who went to watch it with me also shared this view.

Because it allows me to see that Chinese filmmakers are trying to get out of their "comfort zone." If you are interested in Chinese movies like me, but are tired of their style of exploring and exposing the dark side, then this movie will bring Give you a completely different feeling. Well, good night, ladies and gentlemen. "

Synchronous translation is completed.

Liu Momo breathed a long sigh of relief.

Subconsciously, he raised his head and looked at the big guy's expression...

After thinking for a while, she said:

"Overall, Xu Xin's evaluation is very good. The movie... should be a passing grade for him... As for criticism, you don't need to mind it too much. Film critics are a profession of finding fault with eggs. , it is impossible for a movie to perfectly satisfy everyone. So... don’t pay too much attention..."

After finishing speaking, she refreshed the website. After seeing that there were no new movie reviews, she said:

"Let's take a look at the audience's comments..."

After some manipulation, he nodded:

"There are a lot of Chinese reviews... Can you guys take a look?"

Warnhead and Guilunmei came over immediately.

"The photo is so beautiful..."

The latest Chinese comment came into view.

…

"The first round of the Cannes screening of "The Untold Secret" was sold out!"

"Audience: Jay Chou's acting skills gave us a big surprise, and the movie is also very good."

“Could ‘The Secret That Can’t Be Tell’ Become the Biggest Dark Horse at Cannes?”

"Predict in advance: What awards "The Secret That Cannot Be Told" is expected to win"

"Wang Jiawei, Hou Xiaoxian, Xu Xin, the influence of Chinese films is sweeping the world."

People abroad are watching, and people at home are also paying attention.

Some movie magazines and media sent overseas have returned with first-hand information after the movie.

First, there was the long queue at the window of "The Secret That Cannot Be Tellable" and the "cold reception" from other movie windows. After the film was screened, interviews with some viewers, including the popularity of the song "The Secret That Cannot Be Tellable"...

All of a sudden, it seemed like everyone in the country knew the name of the movie "The Secret That Cannot Be Tellable."

The first change is that major theaters have begun to prepare to increase their summer movie schedules.

After all... the heat seems to be rising.

Regardless of whether it wins or not, there is definitely nothing wrong with arranging a larger number of films.

The second is the interview invitations received from various actors and artist management teams.

Even Jay Chou and the others in France have been invited for interviews by many domestic media who have rushed to France.

Moreover, with the second and third screenings at different time periods, whether it was early morning or morning screenings, each screening was packed with people from China from similar countries such as France, the United Kingdom, and Germany. As highlighted by the photos in the hall, everyone seems to... can predict that this film will definitely win a grand prize...

It seems that the best film awards in Cannes and even the best actor and best actress are beginning to beckon...

Although some knowledgeable media or netizens are still explaining that this film is not in the main competition, Jay Chou will not be crowned emperor at Cannes... but there are so many wolves.

It is fueled by some media that do not know what they are doing and just post random articles and follow the rhythm.

During this National Day in early May, rumors about this movie can be seen all the time in almost Sina, Sohu, NetEase, and Baidu.

Not to mention other people, even Xiying Studio itself was confused.

It’s not uncommon to see a singer doing promotions when he crosses over into the film and television industry.

But this time...

Why is it so high for no reason?

People who don’t know may think that “The Secret That Can’t Be Told” was killed in Cannes…

what's the situation?

Although these news save them a lot of money and brains in publicity, they really don’t understand this trend.

How is this...comparable to an Oscar?

Why is the heat so high?

Just outrageous.

But it’s outrageous, and demand determines the market.

If netizens want to see it, then just push it to death.

After all, the box office is directly linked to the income of major distribution companies.

As a result, Jay Chou and the others received various photos and interviews. Even Yang Mi didn't run away. While performing in dramas, she occasionally had to accept phone interviews... Even the promotional schedule after Cannes was already extremely full.

Everything is burning in the fire and blooming like a brocade.

But at the same time, growing doubts are also appearing in the hearts of many people.

This movie is so popular...

Why hasn't this director come forward yet?

Not to mention that the audience doesn’t understand, people in the circle don’t understand either.

Isn't this the time to reap fame and fortune? If you show your face even slightly, your huge curiosity will urge others to flock to you.

What is the most difficult thing about the entertainment industry?

Isn't the most difficult thing how to let others remember you?

If you show your face at this time, you may gain something that others will never be able to catch up with.

you……

You should come out.

What mystery are you playing?

This Xu Xin...

Who is it?

Countless bewilderments turned into growing curiosity after the actors were kept tight-lipped after inquiring into the matter.

And the dissatisfaction beneath curiosity.

This person...

Are you pretending like this?

Not even showing your face?

Why are you playing mysterious and pretending to be deep?

Seeing whether it was Yang Mi, Jay Chou, Gui Lunmei or anyone else, when they were asked, "What is Director Xu Xin doing?" or "Can you tell us about Director Xu Xin's resume?", they all shook their heads in unison. The scene where they all answered "He's busy with something very important"...

Everyone became increasingly dissatisfied.

At this juncture, Zhang Yimou, who was still busy at work in Yanjing, called Xu Xin:

"Prepare to go back to Yanjing and accept an interview with Mimi. If this continues... it will have a bad impact on you."

"……ah?"

Xu Xin, who was already two times darker than before leaving Yanjing, was stunned...

Stand upright when you are beaten, stand firm when you make mistakes, twenty thousand words are given sincerely
