In fact, the lower limit for making a movie is quite low. For example, a certain rich man from Beijing can complete a feature film by scraping together pieces.

But the upper limit of making a movie is also very high. For example, there are not many directors who can do what Rong Guang said just now - tell a complete story without hypnotizing the audience.

This is something that sounds very easy, but is very difficult to do!

However, at this time, the mentality of mainland filmmakers was quite subtle.

On the one hand, there is an excessive inferiority complex, often saying "foreign countries are so advanced, but we are so backward. Europe's new wave, Hollywood's advanced special effects...".

On the other hand, he is overly arrogant. He is always "preparing to use any artistic techniques, there are several layers of meaning, surreal themes, stream-of-consciousness narratives...".

Those people sneered at telling good stories honestly. They thought that just telling stories was too vulgar and could not show off one's own abilities. Unexpectedly, in the end, they all pretended to be stupid. It was not until more than ten years later that

The audience was surprised to discover that there are only a few directors who can tell good stories? The rest are all just talking heads?

As a good girl under traditional education, Yuan Quan certainly thinks so too.

Therefore, after hearing Rong Guang's words, she was equally disdainful and rolled her eyes: "Just brag! According to what you said, all of us graduates from the Department of Directing of China National Theater and Nortel can participate in the three major European film festivals.

?”

"The key is to have investors." Seeing that Yuan Quan didn't believe it, Rong Guang was not interested in explaining more. There are too many factors that affect how to become a qualified director. And the content that needs to be introduced is too much and too profound. Just rely on it.

How could she possibly understand this silly girl next to her? "Quanquan, don't be dissatisfied. If you don't believe it, let them try."

"Just give it a try." Of course Yuan Quan was not convinced, "Hey, I haven't asked you yet. How was your shooting?"

"65 points! It's better than passing." Rong Guang said honestly.

In fact, the passing line mentioned by Rong Guang is enough to rank among the top thirty Chinese film directors during this period. To be able to go from being a pheasant to the north to be qualified to direct a theatrical film, Rong Guang's passing line is already beyond the reach of most directors.

the height of!

Unexpectedly, Yuan Quan had a disappointed look on his face. He originally had some illusions, but now all his good hopes have vanished: "It turns out it's true! It's really a bad movie!"

Rongguang:→_→

…

When we arrived in Cannes, it was already past four in the afternoon local time. In order to save money, Rong Guang found a family hotel in the suburbs that he knew well.

We booked two single rooms on the top floor. When sending Yuan Quan into the room opposite, Rong Guang told him: "Quanquan, you have a day off tomorrow and seize the time to get rid of the jet lag. I will go to the trading market tomorrow to have a look. If you haven't

When you see me, don't worry, don't run around. If you need anything, you can go to the old French man down there. His name is Pierre, and if you don't spend his money, he is quite enthusiastic. The fried sausages and paella here are pretty good.

.Breakfast is included in the accommodation fee. If you are willing to wait, we can have dinner together. Also, there is food and a few books in the bag. Nothing else. Good night!"

"..."

The next morning, Rong Guang woke up to the sound of the alarm clock. After washing and dressing up carefully, Rong Guang went to the front desk to get a sandwich, and then walked to the movie market while eating.

The city of Cannes is actually quite small. You can usually walk to and from every corner of the city in about half an hour.

As for the trading market, it is a service venue of the film festival. But it is not free. You can just rent a counter, which only costs a few thousand dollars. You can also choose various packages, including renting a movie theater for special screenings, advertising in the program, and street

Large billboards, castle receptions, island villas... we can even invite local celebrities on our behalf. The most expensive package may not even cost 1 million US dollars.

Among the three major film festivals in Europe, the Cannes Film Festival is the most commercial-oriented.

As a prostitute with no money, Rong Guang could not even afford to rent a counter. But this did not prevent him from going to the trading market, since there was no need for tickets there anyway.

Rong Guang had planned in advance how to sell his film. So he came to Cannes a few days in advance and went to the trading market to look for targets.

I used to know many foreign film producers in my previous life, and they might show up here. Even if it's a long time ago, it doesn't really matter if they don't show up. Because Rong Guang's goal today is a North American film company. No matter which North American film company it is, it will do.

Since the film festival has not yet started, there are not many people in the market, and there are not even a few counters. Rong Guang went to the corner next to the entrance, lit a cigarette, and all he could do now was wait patiently.

However, as soon as he clicked on it and raised his head, Rongguang's eyes suddenly caught sight of a plump figure. He couldn't help but be stunned and wondered in his heart: "It seems that you are lucky. I didn't expect this fat man to come too."

Rong Guang immediately flicked away the newly lit cigarette and shouted loudly: "Mr. Weinstein, please stay. Can you give me 30 seconds?"

That fat man is none other than the famous, or rather infamous, Harvey Weinstein, a resident boss-level character in American entertainment. There are too many stories about this man in various news and entertainment articles.

Well, I won’t introduce much here.

But no matter what, Harvey Weinstein is already a big shot in Hollywood, and the identity between him and Rong Guang is too far apart. Therefore, although he shouted loudly, Rong Guang did not have much expectations in his heart.

What is more realistic is to contact those small North American film producers.

However, when Harvey Weinstein stopped and looked at him with several of his followers, he couldn't give up such an opportunity, right?

Rong Guang immediately pulled out a piece of information and said quickly with a smile on his face: "Sir, I am the producer of "Add a Long Lens", and the film has been shortlisted for a special attention unit. The top is my business card. The following is the introduction of the film.

"

"'Add a Long Shot'? Are you from China?" Harvey Weinstein looked up and down at Rong Guang.

"Yes, mainland China."

Harvey Weinstein nodded expressionlessly, motioned to an attendant beside him, then turned around and walked inside.

The attendant took the information and also handed over a business card and a piece of paper with the address: "Watch the movie on time at one o'clock in the afternoon. The boss doesn't like people to be late!"

"?" Holding the business card and address, he stared blankly at the backs of Harvey Weinstein and the others, their faces a bit messy in the wind.

Damn it! Are you cheating on yourself? Is it so easy to arrange to watch a movie?
