The Liar Who Invaded the Entertainment Industry
Chapter 851
Hualong film is not a company dedicated to serving cute people.
This film company, funded and established by all Chinese shareholders, mainly invests in shooting films and acting as an agent for the distribution of films. If it is not the all Chinese shareholder team and the barriers to brokering artists in the United States are too high, the company will also sign a contract to operate American artists.
The global distribution agency of inception has been handed over to Hualong film, and the contract has been signed.
However, Hualong film industry attended the Cannes Film Festival. The overseas distribution of inception is only part of the work, and the other part is to win the North American distribution rights of some excellent films.
The so-called excellent films include but are not limited to Chinese films.
At the Cannes Film Festival, a film attracted the attention of Hualong film staff - "the Antichrist".
This is a 108 minute thriller CO produced by Denmark, Germany, France, Sweden, Italy, Poland and other countries.
The film was shortlisted in the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival and was nominated for best picture and best actress. Two days ago, on May 17, Cannes local time, the film held a press conference.
As soon as the film was released, it became a controversial topic.
The film itself tells the story of a couple''s accidental loss of children, and the wife can''t extricate herself from the pain. The husband did a series of terrible things in order to save his wife and move to the quiet forest for convalescence, but he still couldn''t restrain his wife''s mental disorder.
It is full of naked descriptions of * * * officials, abuse and killing, and interspersed with obscure religious metaphors in the story. The open scale is unprecedented.
Shi Hao participated in the media audition. I have to say that this is a film with beautiful pictures, and some scenes are very beautiful. Elegant slow lens, perfect black-and-white composition, coupled with opera excerpts... But no one expected that the wife who enjoyed meat and desire would become so cruel and cut off the * * * official of the husband and wife.
Screams came and went during the playback. The various ways in which the heroine mutilates herself and her husband make the viewers cry out of pain and disgust. The close-up of these violent scenes in the film also makes the audience dare not face up to them.
But the director of the film believes that this is a film full of too many implications.
For example, the husband, who dominates the fate and is full of reason, suddenly becomes a victim to be slaughtered. From this point of view, men, as the masters of modern society, are like women''s "Christ", and the antichrist is women''s resistance to men, or even killing.
Antichrist... In order to draw a grand proposition equal to watching Christ, the director does not hesitate to torture the audience''s visual nerves through the most cruel violence and naked scenes in the film.
After the film premiere, the audience showed polarization, as did the media.
Some European media reporters accused the plot of the film of being too yellow and too violent, which made the reporter collapse; But some European media reporters believe that this is a very excellent film. It would be better if there were less extreme violence.
The American media are equally divided.
The reporter of entertainment weekly criticized the film as a beautiful but sensational film. He said that the film distorted a normal person''s thinking about the good and evil of human nature under the cloak of a pseudo Christian fable, which was the most serious moral collapse in the history of Cannes Film Festival.
However, the Hollywood report recommended the fans of director Lars von Trier to watch the film and praised the film for "the picture is full of pompous and gorgeous, with many charming ideas".
For distributors in various countries, the choice of this film should have been difficult.
However, considering that, like the Antichrist, the film "this man comes from the earth", which also questions Christ, swept the global box office by hundreds of millions of dollars, many publishers were moved.
"So, you also want to be moved and rush to buy the North American distribution rights?"
After listening to Shi Hao, Mai Xiaoyu looked at him and asked.
"Perhaps the theme of antichrist has a great potential market all over the world." speaking of this, Shi haodun said, "Optimus group has also come and wants to win the distribution right of the film at a high price."
Sniping at Optimus, this is what Shi Hao is most concerned about. But he was not sure about the quality of the film. He was worried that the sniper would hit him, so he came to Mai Xiaoyu to discuss it.
Mai Xiaoyu pondered for a moment and asked suspiciously, "this kind of film can''t be released in China. What''s the use of Optimus purchasing the distribution right?"
"Ning Shirong, on behalf of Optimus, is negotiating a cinema acquisition in the United States. It is said that within Optimus, Ning Zhiyuan has successfully suppressed the opposition of Ning Zhihe and others, and there should be no variables in the acquisition."
艹!
Mai Xiaoyu scolded secretly.
He now understands that what Optimus wants is not the domestic distribution right of the Antichrist, but the North American distribution right!
The more controversial the film, the more likely it is to cause a sensation.
And in the eyes of many people, the success of this man from Earth shows that the global anti Christ market has great potential. Optimus wants to use this film as one of the three fires after acquiring American cinemas.
Mai Xiaoyu didn''t hurry to answer. He closed his eyes and quietly recalled the release and box office of the film in North America.
He remembered the film in his strange dream because it was so controversial. In his dream, as an international critic, he received money from the producer at that time, and no less for the film.
As for the box office in North America after its release... He remembered that the film was banned in the United States because of religious issues and ideological advance.
After Eliza patted on the hip, Mai Xiaoyu opened his eyes: "Mr. Shi, my attitude towards this film is: fight without dispute."
Fight without dispute?
For a long time, Shi Hao suddenly realized: "you mean you don''t like this film. But in order to let Optimus win the North American distribution right of this film at a higher price, let''s fight?"
"By the way, you should take care of this scale. Don''t let it fall into your hands in the end. It will really become stealing chicken instead of eroding rice."
Shi Hao looks at cute people. From the small bamboo raft that was brutally blocked by Optimus, it has developed into a half step cheap like driving. He believes in Mai Xiaoyu''s vision and judgment.
"Don''t worry, I''ll be careful. But aren''t you optimistic about the North American box office of this film?"
"No, I think the United States will ban the film."
Don''t think how democratic, free and open western countries are. All countries are the same and have banned films!
This man from Earth just turns the protagonist into Christ and questions the life of Jesus and the stories in the Bible through metaphor, which is not too much.
Because in the middle ages of Europe, like the feudal society of China, it is possible for rulers to manage the people by creating gods, and the film itself has a certain atmosphere of discussion.
However, the antichrist is different. Violence, color and emotion also eat religion through the extreme situation of human nature and motherhood, tear up normal values and family structure, and force the audience to suffer the most direct pain.
What an act of death is this? How can so many Christian sects and Christians in the United States allow foreign films to blaspheme their God again and again?
"Be sure to be measured."
Mai Xiaoyu told Shi Hao to go to the sea for a friendly match with Eliza in his arms.
Shi Hao warned before leaving; "Don''t forget to come to the media audition of inception tomorrow."
"I can''t forget. I have to look at the faces of those media reporters..."
