The 54th Cannes International Film Festival opened on May 9, with the opening film being Moulin Rouge starring Hollywood actress Nicole Kidman. However, this film festival has been full of controversy since its opening and has become a battlefield for debate between old and new directors.

Although the film festival chairman Jia Kebu pointed out that the criteria for selecting films in Cannes this time are still based on the principle of "the mission of the times, the transmission of the fire and innovation", focusing on the glorious transmission of human nature, the promotion of rationality and struggle spirit, adhering to the human nature, and taking into account the development and innovation of the film industry while art.

But the famous master-level French legendary director and one of the representatives of "New Wave" made sensitive senior directors represented by Luc Godard and 92-year-old Portuguese director Oliveira question Jacob's declaration.

They are very dissatisfied with the high status of the glitz-making productions such as Shrek, the monster in the Moulin Rouge and Spielberg DreamWorks. Who is the one who is the one who dominates Cannes? Is it the supreme image art itself, or the big production system under the box office effect?

The price of bombardment was the film shortlisted for the main competition unit, Godard claimed to be the most outstanding work of his life, the Elegy of Love and Oliveira's I Go Home without any reward.

So don’t always talk about China’s behavior and China’s behavior. Retaliation is common to all mankind. Not everything is fair and just.

The Palme d'Or was won by the Italian film son's room, but the biggest winner was the Austrian film piano teacher. Not only did he win the jury award, but he also won the Best Actor and Actress Award. Perhaps out of a bombardment response to previous senior directors, the Best Director Award was awarded to the American Coen brothers and David Lynch, with a double yolk egg.

As for the two Taiwanese films shortlisted for the main competition unit, the name of Qiangwei, directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien and starring Shu Qi, and the time when Cai Mingliang's you, just because it was the same recording artist Du Du Zhi won a consolation award - the Advanced Technology Award for these two different radio techniques.

However, Wang Dalun's cold senior brother Yang Chao won the third prize of the Film Foundation for his short film shortlisted for the "Blockstone Unit of Movie".

Although Seafood was only shortlisted for the "special screening unit" of the non-contest, according to the news feedback from Jacob and Zhu Wen, the response after the premiere was good. The French senior film newspapers and magazines used a surprising page to report the movie.

"We are very happy to see the changes of the new generation of Chinese directors. We do not talk about ideals, beliefs, and political demands. The driving force of the whole story is individuals and society."

Such an evaluation is really not low.

But what Wang Dalun is most concerned about is the sales of the movie. According to the dividend ratio, he accounts for 25%. However, there was no definite news until the closing of the festival on May 21. It is said that Jacob is currently negotiating with the French MK2 Film Company. However, in the end, he did not know how Jacob negotiated, and actually reached a global general agent box office share contract with MK2.

He was surprised. What he knew before was Zhang Yuan’s East Palace, West Palace, or Lao Jia’s Xiaowu and the platform, which were bought out directly by the film merchants.

Logically speaking, global agency distributors are more optimistic about the prospects of movies, but whether it is Wang Dalun or Zhu Wen, they are more or less depressed in private. After all, you can see real money immediately after buying out, while the agency is far away and it will take almost a year at the earliest. The specific income depends on the final box office of the movie, which is still full of uncertainties.

At the end of May, the scene on the train finally came to an end. At this time, Hong Kong actor Liang Jiahui also reported to the crew. Because Zhou Yu, played by Gong Li, is a craftsman in a ceramic factory, he had to go to the ceramic factory in Pubei Yi Autonomous Township, a famous ceramic town in Yunnan for two days, and the scenes against Liang Jiahui, Wang Dalun had five or six days of free time.

Originally, I could have returned to the capital, but my girlfriend had already finished filming her first movie. She went to my Dahengdian to film love that traveled through time and space, and it was not convenient to come and go. So he took this opportunity to travel around the province and traveled to Lijiang and Dali, and it took five or six days to pass.

However, during the days of his travels, a major event happened to the crew. Gong Li was in a car accident on the way back to Kunming after filming the Yimen Ceramics Factory. Sun Zhou was still afraid of this. When he went there, he drove the car. When he came back, he was tired of filming, so he didn't drive, but sat in a car behind to rest. If he was still driving, he might have played over. Fortunately, despite the four-wheeled off-road vehicle in the accident, the three people in the car were not seriously injured. Sun Zhou was still worried, so he returned to Kunming and sent Gong Li to the Provincial People's Hospital for a detailed examination and confirmed that he was not seriously injured.

But such a big disturbance and Gong Li is so big, it will definitely alarm the media. When Sun Zhou called, he specifically told him that if a reporter asked him to keep it confidential. He didn't care about it at first, but soon a few familiar reporters called to ask about Gong Li's situation, and he could only send them all vaguely. The next day, even his girlfriend who was far away in Dahengdian called him to inquire about this.

As for the crew's stay in Kunming, it was even more disturbing. There were many reporters waiting on the set, which seriously interfered with the crew's normal shooting work. Fortunately, Gong Li and Liang Jiahui had only the last scene in Kunming. In the "bar" temporarily built by the famous indigenous nest in the outskirts of Kunming, they recalled the past like smoke.

After the filming of this scene, Liang Jiahui returned to Hong Kong. He had few scenes in Yunnan, and most of them were concentrated in Chongqing. Sunzhou moved the entire crew to a small county town called Xundian, more than 100 kilometers away from Kunming. Because there is a large grassland with a thousand acres required for the plot, Zhang Qiang's veterinary station, and the fairy lake in Zhou Yu's dream

"Hahaha, I'm so laughing so hard. I'll learn from you. In order to let me hear my words, sometimes I'll wash it first (happy), and the breeze blows the ice rows of eels (shanyu) in my hands. The round (soft) elephant (your) approval (skin)"

Of course, the accommodation conditions in the small county town are not as good as those in Kunming. The best hotel rooms in the county town are not enough. Wang Dalun naturally lost the treatment of being alone and squeezed into a standard room with Wu Lala. After lunch break, he had nothing to do. Wu Lala was heartlessly learning Liang Jiahui's extremely unstandard Mandarin from him.

Zhou Yu's train and Wang Dalun's next movie, the Spring of the City are both invested by Hong Kong filmmaker Jiang Zhiqiang, and both are co-production.

Since the 1990s, there have been more models of co-production between Hong Kong and Taiwan and the mainland, but this is different from the co-production model after Infernal Affairs 3. At this time, the co-production films are mainly actors, production teams, or mainland China. As long as Hong Kong and Taiwan invest in, they will at most arrange a protagonist. But later on, it was completely dominated by Hong Kong and Taiwan. Mainland top stars such as Uncle Dao Ming can only help Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.

But as more and more Hong Kong and Taiwan stars join the production of movies or TV series in mainland China, their Mandarin, especially those from Hong Kong, are really terrible, and they usually need to be dubbed later. However, Sun Zhou is very ambitious in making this movie. He went to the three major European film festivals, so he insisted on using the same period.

Because Zhang Qiang and Chen Qing, the two men of Zhou Yu, had no intersection in the play, Wang Dalun and Liang Jiahui had no rivalry either. However, when he came back from traveling, he still watched his rivalry with Gong Li. He heard Liang Li talk such literary lines at the scene, which really made people laugh.

"Okay, okay." Wang Dalun stopped laughing and waved his hand, "Don't promote it everywhere, so as not to be unhappy with Liang Lir."

"You think I'm stupid. I just learn from you. Besides, we have no malice." Wu Lala said indifferently.

Although this is his first time working with a big Hong Kong celebrity, Liang Jiahui left a pretty good impression on him, and his professionalism is unnecessary. His attitude towards staff and movie fans is indeed commendable.

For example, on the day he just arrived at the crew, the crew finished filming the filming while hungry, braved the rain and retreated to the hotel. When they walked into the lobby, they saw him. Liang Jiahui! Hong Kong actor! Just like the day Gong Li arrived at the crew, many young people gathered around and wanted to sign autographs and take photos.

He said, you are all hungry, hurry up and go to have a meal. After dinner, I will accompany you. Then he arranged someone to contact you and finalize the exact time. Sure enough, after dinner, he came to the crowd on time. He took photos with everyone, signed, and always kept a warm smile. Everyone was satisfied, and he left with his tired face. It was already 10:30.

At the shooting scene, the onlookers surrounded him one by one, taking photos, signing autographs, and even handing the child to him and holding him, he happily took it over and asked someone to take a photo until everyone was satisfied.

But he was quite timid. There was a scene where he and Gong Li walked the railway hand in hand on the railway, and then a train came from behind. Although the train was rented by the crew and it was very slow, it was impossible to brake like a car. Everyone should have learned about middle school physics. The greater the mass, the greater the inertia. When the train came, he was so scared that he jumped off, but Gong Li walked until the train was about to hit him before jumping off.

Afterwards, Sister Gong, who was like nothing happened, asked him with a smile if he was going again. He was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly. The director called him and didn't dare to beat him to death.

Xundian and Fenglongwan Scenic Area are actually just a reservoir. However, the scenery here is good. There is a house with great local characteristics near the village road next to the reservoir. This is Zhang Qiang's veterinary station.

"Oh, it turns out that this thing is used to breed pigs, right?"

Wang Dalun surrounded a black artificial leather apron, held a strange-looking syringe in his hand, and gestured with a slender tube in front of him.

This time the props were reliable, and I really prepared a set of veterinary equipment. In this scene, Zhang Qiang mates pigs in the village, and Zhou Yu came to find him.

"That's right, I've asked specifically, just insert the tube and inject the * from the syringe tube into it." Prot explained with a smile.

"Is that pig so long? Don't stab it in and it's broken."

"Then I don't know. The director can't let you do it really, at most, just act like it."

"Too."

He smiled and nodded, "As a man, there will always be a few jokes when he gets together."

The pigs here are different from the big white pigs in other places. They are all black-haired pigs and are still small. At most, adult pigs have about 100 kilograms. They are called black gold pigs. They are said to be the raw material of the famous "cloud legs".

"Dalun, are you ready?" Sun Zhou shouted at the top of his throat.

"alright."

"Hurry up, the filming starts."

The location is in the pigpen of a local farmer.

The props lined up the clinic box and the veterinarians' affairs. In order to prevent misleading, the veterinarians' clinic box was still the cylindrical suitcase with a tripod that they used before, and several local farmers were busy catching pigs.

"You lift the pig up, and when he breeds the pig, you will put it down."

Sun Zhou gestured to talk to two villagers catching pigs. His original intention was to put it down. The camera was blocked by a brick fence. Then Wang Dalun could just gesture.

"Director, isn't this a restricted shot, right?" Wu Lala said cheering from the side.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Sun Zhou turned around and cursed with a smile.

Wu Lala is the pistachio in the group. She always likes to have a lingering taste. Liu Wei, who was watching the fun on the side, stood up and said to Wu Lala seriously: "What's wrong with you, a little comrade? The director is right to make this arrangement. No matter what, this pig is still a mother!"

"Hahaha"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Liu Wei is a friend of Sunzhou. He temporarily called him to play a guest role and played a small cadre in the tax bureau. Zhang Qiang's friend was called by Zhang Qiang to date Zhou Yu. He didn't have many scenes, just two days. Originally, his scenes were filmed in the afternoon, but this guy was idle and came with the crew early in the morning.

"Okay, OK, ready-"

“action!”

Two powerful villagers of Kong Wu grabbed the pigs to the sky and the earth. Because they were worried that the villagers were inexperienced and nervous in the face of the camera, Wang Yu stood next to him with a camera, so that a corner of the house just blocked the villagers catching the pigs, and only the little black pig who was screaming miserably.

Wang Dalun was wearing rubber gloves, holding a long tweezers, clamped a piece of alcohol cotton, carefully wiped the place under the pig's tail, and said in his mouth as if he was coaxing a child, saying, "Okay, OK, come on."

The deputy director outside the camera quickly made a gesture to the villagers who were catching the pig, and the villagers quickly pressed the pig to the ground.

“Let go, let go.”

He also quickly cooperated to squat down at the right time, put the tweezers back to its original place, picked up the syringe with a long thin tube, and gestured below.

"Okay, come soon, little baby, don't worry."

Amid the pig's shrill screams, he did not forget to say witty words. These are all not in the script, and they were all added after discussing with the director. It feels that this is more in line with the personality of Zhang Qiang.

"Oh, OK!"

He stood up, put the syringe into the tray, wiped his hands with a cloth, turned his head accidentally, the camera moved, and Gong Li put her hands in her pockets, leaning against a wall, looking at him with a smile like a flower
