Why did "Farewell My Concubine" sell foreign rights instead of directly releasing it abroad and then getting a share?

This naturally has market considerations.

How to maximize benefits?

Wansheng Film and Television is obviously more professional than Zhang Yu’s Thirteen Studios.

Zhang Yu didn't ask anything about it.

The biggest mission of this film has been completed.

Sign up with Zhang Hang and get the prize!

A Palme d'Or wins everything.

The box office is no longer important.

Of course, if you can make more money, who would refuse?

"Hey, after filming "Farewell My Concubine", what else can I film in the future?"

Zhang Hang said with some sigh.

Zhang Yu, who was next to him, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

"Director Zhang, you have great potential in Versailles!" Zhang Yu couldn't help but say.

What does Zhang Hang mean?

"Farewell My Concubine" has reached such a high level, so no matter what he shoots in the future, I'm afraid it will go downhill.

This is indeed not a good thing for a director.

If you cannot transcend, then in order to avoid going downhill, there is only one way to go.

No shooting!

But that's obviously impossible.

It’s impossible for Zhang Hang to retire after filming this film!

He is in good health and will have no problem filming for another ten years.

"It's extremely cold at high places!" Zhang Hang said, "The higher you stand, the more constraints you have. I'm afraid I'll have a lot of worries when filming in the future."

"You are completely out of Versailles." Zhang Yu curled her lips and said.

But he couldn't refute it.

Zhang Hang was already one of the top directors in China, but now he has won the Palme d'Or at Cannes and is at the top of his game, almost unmatched by anyone in the country.

He was indeed a little overwhelmed by the high altitude.

"Oh, I have to be careful about everything I shoot in the future, otherwise I don't know what the media will say." Zhang Hang looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Good scripts are hard to find!"

At this moment, Zhang Yu understood that Zhang Hang didn't come to him just to lament that he was too cold at high places.

"Your Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is pretty good, how about giving it to me?" Zhang Hang continued.

"Director Zhang, my movie is about to start." Zhang Yu pouted and said, "Are you going to pick peaches?"

Zhang Hang really wants to pick peaches?

He can’t pick it off either!

Who picked Zhang Yu’s peaches?

Zhang Hang may have fallen in love with this movie, but what he said was mostly a joke.

The two of them were very familiar with each other. Otherwise, he wouldn't be joking like this.

Zhang Yu naturally knows this too.

Zhang Hang did not want his "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but to foreshadow what will be said later.

"Then do you have any other good scripts?" Zhang Hang continued.

Zhang Yu's creative talent in scripts is obvious to all.

And it cannot be viewed with common sense at all.

Usually screenwriters write a good script, which takes time and effort, racks their brains, and even exhausts their spiritual energy. But with Zhang Yu, it is as easy as drinking water.

And he is also good at various types.

The creative inspiration is endless.

"Director Zhang, Farewell My Concubine hasn't even been released yet?" Zhang Yu said, "Aren't you going to take a good rest? Do you want to strive for the title of one of the top ten model workers in the film and television industry?"

"Do you have a script?" Zhang Hang laughed immediately when he saw Zhang Yu's reaction.

He just tried it out, but he didn't expect it to happen.

Good scripts are hard to find, so naturally you cast your net everywhere to catch whatever you can.

Zhang Hang probably didn't expect that he would actually catch it.

Well, there is a chance to catch it.

"Just write it if you want!" Zhang Yu said, "It's just a script, isn't it easy?"

"This is the real Versailles." Zhang Hang shook his head and said, "Then when will you have time to write another one for me? Alas, I'm getting older. I don't know how many more films I can make. I can make one more.

One piece!"

"good!"

Zhang Yu nodded and said, but was speechless in his heart.

If you don't make one less love movie, it will all be my fault, Zhang Shisan!

People can't be so shameless!

The promotion of "Farewell My Concubine" is in full swing, even surpassing "Wolf Warrior 2" in terms of momentum.

After all, it was released first.

However, despite the huge momentum, not much money was spent on publicity.

As a screenwriter, producer, and investor, Zhang Yu naturally had to spare some time to participate in publicity.

June 14th, evening.

"Farewell My Concubine" premiere, Zhang Yu and Yang Ruoxue attended.

In addition, many stars from Wansheng Film and Television also came.

Many other celebrities in the industry also came to support the show.

Li Hua and Zhan Zi also came.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is about to launch.

They have returned to China and are still very interested in this film written by Zhang Yu and directed by Zhang Hang.

There are many people in the industry who are interested in this film.

They all wanted to see why this film won the Palme d'Or at Cannes.

This is not the first time Zhang Yu has seen it.

Watching it again, some parts are still inexplicably shocking.

It's just that the focus is different.

The overall narrative of this film is very smooth, the rhythm is just right, and it firmly grasps the audience's attention.

But this time, Zhang Yu focused on the characters inside.

Cheng Dieyi will always be the Cheng Dieyi who silently loves Duan Xiaolou, but she cannot be the Yu Ji whom the overlord loves deeply in reality.

We are deeply in love to the depths of our hearts, how can we withdraw from it in reality?

Duan Xiaolou said twice that he was crazy. He was not crazy, and he did not regard the play as reality, but he regarded it as the result of his dreams from beginning to end, but reality did not allow it.

Duan Xiaolou's moral high ground does not allow it.

When Cheng Dieyi played the role of Yu Ji, she reached the level of selflessness that "you can't survive without going crazy". Coupled with Cheng Dieyi's strange experiences as a child, Cheng Dieyi truly fell into his "acting dream".

In fact, Cheng Dieyi lived a very real life.

In the end, Cheng Dieyi felt lost in her lifelong pursuit of art and committed suicide on stage while rehearsing a play with Duan Xiaolou.

And what about Duan Xiaolou?

She is as obsessed with Peking Opera as Cheng Dieyi, and was Cheng Dieyi's partner when singing Peking Opera.

He looks strong on the surface, but in fact he is very weak on the inside. He claims to be patriotic and not to act for the Japanese, but after he was arrested, his junior brother Cheng Dieyi sacrificed himself to save him.

In the end, in order to survive with the tide, he not only denied his life's career, but also betrayed and exposed his wife and junior brother Cheng Dieyi.

Is this person annoying?

Duan Xiaolou is a person who makes a clear distinction between life and dreams.
