Huayu 97: The Beginning of a Marriage Fraudulently

The dance community is small.

But this time, "Swan Lake" has connected with the film industry.

Amidst the overwhelming recommendations, countless film fans have also come to pay attention to "Swan Lake".

As a result, tickets for "Swan Lake" became highly sought after.

Hard to get a vote!
Mark also had to schedule more shows whenever possible.

Even so, many people are still asking for tickets.

However, there's nothing we can do; this is the largest number of matches we can schedule.

Dancers are human beings, not machines.

Beverly and the others were tired, but everyone was happy.

Especially the dancers who performed "The Dying Swan" with Liu Xiaoli back then, they know all too well what this means.

They will be the envy of all dancers.

Most importantly, they can receive generous bonuses.

"Beverly, I'm so tired. I can fall asleep in my car every day now."

A young dancer complained to Beverly.

Recently, many people have been mentally blaming Mark.

They don't care about their lives just to make money!
Beverly smiled. "Amy, you can ask your friends in other dance companies what they think of your current situation."

Amy blinked. She had indeed kept in touch with her former dance partners, and it seemed that more people were trying to get closer to her lately.

He seemed genuinely envious that she got into the New York dance company.

Previously, when they chatted together, they would only brag about how great their dance troupe was.

“Beverly, have you experienced this before?” Amy asked curiously.

“I’m not as lucky as you. You were able to participate in Swan Lake not long after joining the company. If I had your luck, I might have become a principal dancer a few years earlier.”

Although Beverley said that, you could still hear the pride in his words.

Although she became the principal dancer two years later, she also became friends with Liu Xiaoli and Chen Siyuan because of it.

This alone will benefit her for life.

"Beverly, can I become a principal dancer too?"

Amy's eyes lit up; that was the lead dancer!

"Of course you can! You have great talent for dancing and you're lucky too. You definitely have a chance to become a principal dancer!"

Beverley said with absolute certainty.

Because Amy was one of the young dancers that Liu Xiaoli valued.

After a fulfilling but tiring day, the dancers took the dance troupe's shuttle bus home.

They are now the darlings of the dance troupe, and Mark has arranged a shuttle bus for them.

When Swan Lake was all the rage in the United States.

The promotion for "Black Swan" has also begun.

The Black Swan and Swan Lake are naturally linked.

From the very beginning, it was clear that "New Swan Lake" was created by Liu Xiaoli for "Black Swan".

This is a work that bridges the gap between the dance and film industries.

Now that "Swan Lake" is a hit in the United States, "Black Swan" is also doing very well in terms of promotion.

What kind of movie could inspire dance master Liu Xiaoli to specially adapt the classic ballet "Swan Lake" for it?
Miramax went all out.

Old Mark also exerted his influence.

First of all, the American dance community is naturally going crazy praising Liu Xiaoli and her newly adapted "Swan Lake".

The Americans have once again accomplished what Mao Zedong couldn't. This is a great victory.

Film critics have begun to predict that "Black Swan" will be a frontrunner for the next Oscars!
Winning the Oscar for "Black Swan" was the right thing to do.

Then a reporter interviewed the director of the Moscow State Ballet.

The results confirmed that the music and arrangement for "Swan Lake" were indeed done by them!

It is the culmination of a multitude of compositional geniuses following Tchaikovsky!
It's a tribute to the classics!
Liu Xiaoli was a ballet master recognized by both the United States and Russia.

Liu Xiaoli's newly adapted version of "Swan Road" has once again gained recognition from both the United States and Russia.

Whatever the reason, Liu Xiaoli once again reaped the benefits.

As a result, "Black Swan," which is still in post-production, has garnered much anticipation and attention from movie fans.

Black Swan was a hit even before its release.

The original premiere of "Black Swan" was at the Venice Film Festival.

Despite being nominated for the Golden Lion, Mila Kunis was the only one to win the Marcello Mastroianni Award, which is the award for emerging actress.

Therefore, Chen Siyuan decisively blocked Venice for the rest of his life.

Although it's impossible for the same judges to be used, Chen Siyuan is just superstitious!
Due to time constraints in completing the film, Chen Siyuan and Merrick decided to hold the world premiere of "Black Swan" at the Cannes Film Festival in France!

As one of the three major European film festivals, the Cannes Film Festival emphasizes the combination of commerce and art, making it arguably the best choice for the premiere of "Black Swan".

Miramax may not be one of the Big Six Hollywood studios, but it is still a top-tier studio in the second tier.

Furthermore, Miramax stars in and works on award-winning films and excellent independent films, thus maintaining close ties with major film festivals.

Therefore, "Black Swan" also qualified directly for the main competition at the Cannes Film Festival.

Chen Siyuan has only one goal for Merrick: the Palme d'Or!

The grand prizes at every international film festival are not simply grand prizes.

There are procedures for winning prizes.

As long as awards are judged by people, the influence of personal relationships is unavoidable.

For the rest of the jury, apart from the jury president, the other jury members will likely not be known until about two weeks before the festival opens.

But by then, it was too late.

However, Miramax and Merrick still managed to get some inside information in advance.

This lead time is where things can be done.

The judging panel consisted of both men and women, including directors and actors.

They come from different countries and have different skin colors.

But no one can be without desires.

Miramax has the ability to satisfy them.

People say that competing for an Oscar is no different from the US presidential election.

Merrick will tell you that other film festivals are just as good!

Merrick, as a professional manager, lacks moral fastidiousness.

All he had to do was fulfill Chen Siyuan's request.

Of course, one must use art to achieve the goal.

Chen Siyuan is a top lawyer in the United States; he cannot do anything that violates the law.

On the surface, the publicity for "Black Swan" surpasses that of any other film that has entered the main competition at the Cannes Film Festival.

Meanwhile, Miramax also secretly rallied many allies.

It was under these circumstances that the Black Swan crew arrived in Cannes!
Chen Siyuan took Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei to check into the Barière Hotel, one of the most luxurious hotels in Cannes.

It's only 100 meters from the Palais des Festivals!
The penthouse suite costs over 2 euros per night!
