Huayu: Everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be an actor?

Little red dot?

Han Sanping was stunned for a moment, then he realized what Cheng Yuan meant by "the second largest film market".

It must be said that this name is very apt.

"The film market over there?" Han Sanping nodded and said, "Then he should try to bring in investors from that market."

Without the involvement of investors from that market, it will undoubtedly be more difficult to achieve success there.

"Do you think the investors over there might try to control the box office revenue?"

Cheng Yuan asked with a smile.

Han Sanping, however, fell into deep thought.

If that's the case, wouldn't the other investors be at a huge loss?

Thinking back to what Cheng Yuan said about revising the script, there was probably an element of catering to that market as well.

"Let's not talk about him anymore," Cheng Yuan said, shaking his head. "It's a downer."

"You seem to be quite open-minded about it?" Han Sanping said. "That's the Palme d'Or, something countless directors dream of their entire lives."

"What can I do if I can't let it go? It won't change the outcome. If I didn't take it this time, I'll just come back next time," Cheng Yuan said. "Chairman Han, I'm only twenty-one years old, I have plenty of time."

He was indeed easygoing, but he had absolutely no goodwill towards Wu Yusen.

If you get the chance, go after him!

As for this time?

Wu Yusen must be having a hard time too.

This news must have reached back home.

Putting everything else aside, the public opinion surrounding him is enough to cause him trouble.

Whether his blatant attempt to sow discord between Han Sanping and Han Sanping was effective remains to be seen.

"Twenty-one years old!"

Han Sanping was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but sigh.

So young.

At such a young age, he already has two works and has made a name for himself internationally, even almost winning the Palme d'Or.

Many European media outlets have revealed inside stories about the Cannes voting process, and domestic media are naturally not to be outdone.

When domestic media reported on it, public opinion exploded instantly.

Did they lose the Palme d'Or by just one vote?

The key question is whether that vote was cast by one of our own people for the other side?

What does Wu Yusen mean?

"Old Chen, take a look at this!"

Chen Hong handed a newspaper to Poet Chen.

When Poet Chen took it and looked at it, he was somewhat taken aback, as there was such an inside story.

Holy crap, I almost lost my invincibility.

Should I thank Wu Yusen?

"That's hard to understand!"

Poet Chen put down the newspaper and then shook his head.

If he were Wu Yusen, he probably wouldn't have made this choice.

Do you really think nobody knows about this?

If he were like Wu Yusen, he would probably attract even more criticism and have a worse reputation.

Thank goodness I'm not a judge this year.

If he were on John Woo's side, he would definitely vote for "The Hunt".

This has nothing to do with the movie "The Hunt". We should support Chinese-language films.

This is the choice of a smart person.

Wu Yusen is so stupid.

Upon receiving the news, a group of leaders at the Beijing Film Academy were furious.

A student at Beijing Film Academy almost won the Palme d'Or.

Do you know what that means?

Damn it!

But what can we say openly?

It's not like Cheng Yuan said: He's a judge, he has his own judging criteria, and it's his right to vote for whichever film he wants.

Of course, I couldn't help but ask in the end: I'm very confused, is "The Hunt" really that unappealing to Wu Yusen?

The Beijing Film Academy has taken note of this and will definitely give Wu Yusen a hard time when the opportunity arises.

You don't support Chinese-language films, fine, but you actually support your competitors?

Even if you abstain from voting or cast your vote for another movie, no one will say anything to you.

But you chose to vote for the movie that had a tie.

Are you really that unwilling for Chinese-language films to win the Palme d'Or again?

This matter has also sparked a great deal of discussion online.

Countless people expressed their incomprehension.

Some people defended Wu Yusen, offering the same explanation as Cheng Yuan in a media interview.

Of course, there are also people who criticize "The Hunt".

However, overall, the majority of those who criticized Wu Yusen were in the negative category.

Many people, regardless of the quality of the film or John Woo's preferences, question John Woo's stance.

How was the movie?

If the judges' votes are tied, then that is enough to demonstrate the excellence of Cheng Yuan's "The Hunt".

This film actually missed out on the Palme d'Or because of John Woo.

The debate over right and wrong wasn't very intense, as can be seen from the number of people criticizing Wu Yusen.

However, there has been a lot of discussion online about why Wu Yusen did this.

One theory is that John Woo is a Hong Kong director.

His move is aimed at suppressing mainland directors.

They do not allow such outstanding young directors as Cheng Yuan to emerge in mainland China.

It's no secret that Hong Kong filmmakers suppress mainland filmmakers.

After all, the incident involving the White Dragon last year was quite a big deal.

Why should Hong Kong filmmakers who come north to the mainland entertainment industry be considered superior?

The Chinese entertainment industry has suffered for too long.

Perhaps for this reason, public opinion is becoming increasingly heated.

Wu Yusen is practically becoming a witness for all time.

Meanwhile, Wang Jinsong and others returned to China first.

They were naturally bombarded by the media with questions about their opinion on Wu Yusen's vote that cost them the Palme d'Or.

Whether it's Wang Jinsong, Jiang Wu, or Jiang Wen, their statements are exactly the same as Cheng Yuan's.

It's his freedom to vote for whomever he wants.

As for why he made that choice, you should ask Wu Yusen; we don't really understand.

Although the reply did not blame Wu Yusen, the resentment revealed in the words was obvious.

Which of the main creators has no issues with John Woo?

You not only refuse to help, but you're also aiding the enemy.

Wang Jinsong didn't give many media interviews and went straight back to school.

He simply doesn't like dealing with the media.

Upon returning to school, he naturally received praise from the leaders and is likely to receive a promotion and a raise.

Did Cheng Yuan say when he'd be back?

Tian Zhuangzhuang looked at Wang Jingsong and asked.

He didn't expect that the film would not only win the Best Actor award, but also almost win the Palme d'Or.

If I actually win the Palme d'Or, how am I supposed to face the consequences?

How can I continue being a teacher?

I'm a little nervous and unsure about being the graduate advisor of the Palme d'Or director.

Tian Zhuangzhuang couldn't help but use Wang Jinsong's words to describe this matter.

My feelings are complicated.

My feelings are complicated.

I want Cheng Yuan to win the Palme d'Or, but I feel too much pressure and don't want him to win it either.

I'm glad he didn't win the Palme d'Or, but I also feel it's a huge pity.

"I estimate they'll be back in a couple of days," Wang Jinsong said. "Selling the film rights won't be difficult; it's just a matter of price."

"This won't affect him much, will it?" Tian Zhuangzhuang said. "He just missed out on the Palme d'Or like this."

This would be a knot in anyone's heart.

"He should be fine," Wang Jinsong said. "Unless he's hiding his emotions too well, I can't tell."

Tian Zhuangzhuang nodded, her worry lessening somewhat.

Wang Jinsong teaches acting, and very few people can hide their emotions from his eyes.

Cheng Yuan was already preparing to return to China.

In addition to domestic copyrights, copyrights have also been sold to countries and regions in Southeast Asia.

Nearly seven million US dollars in total!

This sold for much more than "Buried".

This is not unrelated to the intense interest surrounding the Palme d'Or, which was decided by a single vote.

Furthermore, this doesn't even include the adaptation rights, which cost over a million.

The copyright costs nearly seven million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 50 million RMB.

This movie only cost five million to make, but the overseas copyright alone yielded ten times the profit.

Remote filming accounts for more than 20 million yuan of investment revenue, and when it is released in China, the film may earn more than 30 million yuan.

Sure enough, these days, making art films is still the most lucrative business.
