Millennium director

December 1

The premiere of "If You Are the One" was very successful.

The response from the guests and audience who came to the premiere was very good. Everyone was laughing from beginning to end, and there was not even a 5-minute gap.

In the field of comedy films, Feng Xiaogang is indeed a professional. It is no problem to say that he is the number one person in mainland comedy films at the moment.

The combination of Feng Xiaogang and Uncle Ge has always been a box office guarantee, and Uncle Ge's comedy performances have never disappointed the audience.

After the premiere received a good response, Feng Xiaogang's anxious heart has finally settled down, and he has some expectations for Wu Yuan's prediction of "300 million box office".

However, Wu Yuan's thoughts were no longer on "If You Are the One".

After the premiere, he hurriedly said goodbye to Feng Xiaogang, got in his car and left the scene.

There was no way around it, Wu Yuan's cell phone hadn't stopped since the middle of the premiere, and people kept calling him.

Since he was watching a movie, it was difficult for him to pick up the phone, so now he had to call back one by one.

The most important thing, of course, was the call from Liu Yifei.

"Hey, Sissi, what's wrong?"

"Brother~" A somewhat aggrieved voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Were you bullied by Wu Yusen in Cannes?"

"The media and newspapers in Europe are talking about this, and many film critics are complaining about you."

"It is said that if it were not for Wu Yusen's influence, your "Love" might have won the Palme d'Or!"

"Why is Wu Yusen so bad? You guys had no competition at that time, so why would he deliberately suppress you?"

It turned out to be because of this. I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. Even Liu Yifei knew about it abroad.

Oh, no, this news originally spread on the Internet first.

"It's okay, it's over a long time ago." Wu Yuan felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "Those film critics are exaggerating. Even without Wu Baige's incident, "Love" would not have won the Palme d'Or."

"I was too young at the time. Age was the biggest obstacle. The judges would not award me the Palme d'Or."

Although Wu Baige did make some small moves behind his back, Wu Yuan was not the kind of person who would deliberately discredit the other party.

His "Love" didn't win the Palme d'Or, and it had little to do with Wu Baige. After all, there were nine judges, and Wu Baige only got 2 votes. Plus he only got 3 votes, so it couldn't decide anything.

The biggest reason why "Love" missed the Palme d'Or was that he was too young at the time and it was his first time to participate in the Cannes Film Festival. If the Palme d'Or were awarded to him, the jury would have been severely questioned.

Although the directing industry is relatively less based on seniority and relies on talent and talent, the 23-year-old Palme d'Or winner is really an exaggeration.

It is normal for the judges to want to suppress the results.

It was precisely with the foreshadowing of "Love" winning the Grand Jury Prize that "Li Wen" winning the Golden Lion seemed less exaggerated.

You know, when he won the Golden Lion, he was only 26 years old. But at that time, neither media reporters nor fans thought there was anything wrong with him winning the Golden Lion. They just felt that he deserved it.

One drink and one drink is nothing more than yes.

Nowadays, those European film critics say that "Amour" did not win the Palme d'Or that year because Wu Yusen was behind the scenes. That is really a big deal.

When the awards were announced that year, no one said that the Cannes awards were unfair. Is there a shady reason why "Amour" did not win the Palme d'Or?

However, this fire arch is good and wonderful.

While Wu Yuan comforted Liu Yifei and told her not to blindly believe the exaggerated remarks of the European media, he laughed in his heart. He wished that these European media would be more alarmist and make Wu Yusen's reputation in Europe bad.

"Okay, okay, it's okay. It's been three years since this happened, and I don't know why it suddenly came out."

"I'll take care of it, don't worry."

"Is your filming finished soon? You can return to China next week?"

"I'm not used to you not being around..."

Wu Yuan stayed with Liu Yifei for a while, and after expressing his feelings for her, he hung up the phone reluctantly.

Next, he called back several more times.

Some called from Cheng Long, some from Zhang Guorong, and even some from Depp, KK and others.

After they saw the news about Wu Yuan's unfair treatment on the Internet, they called him immediately to comfort him.

In other words, it was time to stand in line.

Presumably, Wu Yusen's cell phone was ringing constantly at this time, with countless people calling him.

However, compared to Wu Yuan who was all comforting, Wu Yusen was probably discussing with him how to suppress this scandal and how to minimize losses.

He has been in the industry for decades and has many contacts in the three places across the Taiwan Strait and even in Hollywood and Europe.

No, after Wu Yuan finished handling the calls that gave him comfort and encouragement and drove back to the company, Li Xiaoping immediately sent him the latest news.

German film director Faith Arkin, who is also a judge of the 58th Cannes Film Festival, immediately stood up to refute the scandal.

"I don't know why Randita Das said that, but as far as I know, the jury was fair and impartial and what she said did not happen."

"Wu Yusen is a very good Hong Kong director and a person of excellent moral character. He completed his work as a judge rigorously and did not do anything to interfere with the judgment of other judges."

"It is true that during the review process, the jury had differences and even had some quarrels. This is a normal thing and will happen in every session. However, these are reasonable and legitimate disputes under the rules and do not lead to any quarrels. Any deliberate suppression has occurred.”

"I hope some judges will stop talking nonsense."

Cannes is one of the three major international film festivals in Europe and the most influential film festival in the world. Whether it is the Cannes official or the various filmmakers who have been favored by Cannes, they obviously do not want to see the credibility of Cannes. Questioned.

Coupled with the influence of Wu Yusen's connections, after the scandal was reported in the newspapers, many European filmmakers immediately expressed their support for Wu Yusen and Cannes.

They believe that Cannes will not allow participating filmmakers to be treated unfairly. This is the trust that Cannes has accumulated over the past 60 years.

Of course, Wu Yuan actually believed this. Wu Yusen was indeed jumping up and down but failed.

But there are more than ordinary people who want Cancheng dead.

Especially the filmmakers here in Hollywood.

As we all know, the film circles in Europe and North America have never peed in the same pot.

European filmmakers looked down upon the North American upstarts.

The nouveau riche in North America look down on European art films that are sour and smelly, like old granny's foot wraps.

Well, now, a scandal broke out in Cannes, which is a palace in the hearts of Europeans.

Good guy, Hollywood's response was faster than Wu Yuan's, and he climaxed immediately.

Is Wu Yuan considered a member of Hollywood?

Of course it counts!

His film company is located in Hollywood, and he is an international director that Hollywood has single-handedly promoted. He is one of the top five directors in Hollywood at the box office!

Wu Yuan was wronged in Cannes, so Hollywood can't help?

It can not only support its own directors, but also weaken the influence of European film festivals. This is a good thing that you can't miss.

Brad Pitt, Depp, and even directors such as Peter Jackson and Cameron have publicly accepted interviews with the media and questioned Cannes' credibility.

Peter Jackson told reporters: "Cannes is one of the most influential film festivals in the world, but this does not mean that Cannes has never made mistakes."

"I feel sorry for the unfair treatment Daniel received in Cannes. "Love" is a good movie, and such a good movie should not be treated unfairly."

Depp also publicly accepted an interview and said: "Oh, I heard about this and immediately called Daniel to express my condolences. He was very generous and said on the phone that it was nothing and everything was over."

"But I still feel sorry for him. He is one of the most talented directors in Hollywood and should not be treated so humiliatingly in Europe."

From Europe to North America.

The story of Wu Yuan's unfair treatment in Cannes completely exploded.

In other words, this matter is no longer limited to the petty feud between Wu Yuan and Wu Yusen, but has been elevated to a tit-for-tat confrontation between the European and North American film circles.

But Wu Yuan, who was in this whirlpool, didn't care at all. He even clapped his hands and applauded, hoping that this matter would get bigger and bigger.

I am a victim, what are you afraid of?

Wu Baige, on the other hand, is probably sweating profusely now, right? (End of chapter)
