Cannes Film Festival is one of the three major film festivals in Europe and the most influential film festival. The participation procedure is as follows: the film company submits film registration recommendations to the film festival, and after being evaluated by the film festival experts, the qualified films will be invited by the film festival, and the unqualified films can only be promoted in the peripheral rented exhibition area at their own expense.

As early as a month ago, Xu Cun asked Jeffrey to submit the application recommendation of "ET" to the Cannes Film Festival in the name of DreamWorks, and attached a one-hour "ET" sample.

At that time, "ET" hadn't finished filming, and Tang Shuxuan and Mai Zishan had been busy for a week to temporarily edit a sample of "ET" that had no ending (this kind of thing often happens in the three major film festivals.).

Both Shan Zishan and Tang Shuxuan are good at editing movies. For example, Zhang Shuping’s editing skills were learned from Tang Shuxuan in the early years. Although the rhythm of "ET" edited by the two people is average, the artistic connotation is much deeper. This kind of movie Not suitable for screening in cinemas, but definitely suitable for international film competitions.

One week after submitting the registration recommendation, DreamWorks received an invitation from the Cannes Film Festival jury, but it is still unknown whether it will be shortlisted.

In fact, Hollywood blockbusters have always only participated in exhibitions and not competitions. This was the case with "ET" in the last life-as we all know, the Cannes Film Festival has always only valued art films, and Hollywood blockbusters generally do not have too deep artistic quality. Therefore, the vast majority of Hollywood blockbusters will not be selected even if they sign up.

However, unlike Spielberg's choice, Xu Cun plans to use "ET" to compete.

Xu Cun is not from the United States, so it is impossible for him to have a special screening of "ET" with the president and his wife at the White House. If "ET" can't shine at the Cannes Film Festival, Xu Cun can be sure that his box office allocation ratio will never exceed 20%.

A difference of one percent may be several million U.S. dollars, or tens of millions in Hong Kong dollars. Therefore, Xu Cun must try his best to get the highest proportion of distribution.

Furthermore, "ET" is not only a Hollywood blockbuster, but also a film with humanities and art.

Moreover, "ET" is a film with a novel shooting style and unique techniques. In terms of innovation alone, there are few films that can surpass it in this era. Among those filmmakers who admire art, there should be people who like it.

Therefore, "ET" is not without the possibility of winning.

What made Xu Cun feel cold was that he had received the invitation from the jury at the Cannes Film Festival, but there was no news about whether he was shortlisted or not.

...

The first day of departure.

Zhong Chuhong said to the dejected Xu Cun: "Cheer up, you are the soul of DreamWorks, you are like this, can they still have confidence? Besides, isn't it normal for Hollywood blockbusters not to be shortlisted? You are not the kind of pursuit Artistic film director, why bother with this matter?"

"You don't know, if "ET" wins an award at the film festival, it will definitely have a huge impact on the box office of "ET"!

At that time, Hu Jinquan spent five years shooting "Xia Nv", which cost a lot of money, but the box office hit the street. Later, "Chivalrous Woman" entered the main competition unit at the Cannes Film Festival. Although it only won a technical award in the end, when "Chivalrous Woman" was re-released, it made a lot of money at the box office because of this award.

Also, Sister Tang's "Mrs. Dong" is so literary and artistic that no theater in Xiangjiang is willing to show it. As a result, after being shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival, major theaters immediately rushed to release it, and it also won a lot of box office in Xiangjiang, and made a lot of money when it was screened in Taiwan.

The previous box office encounters of "Xia Nv" and Sister Tang's "Mrs. Dong" all show that once a Chinese-language film is shortlisted for an international film festival, it will be well received and well received. "Xu Cun explained to Zhong Chuhong.

"Then you can't let yourself down! I like "ET", and I believe many people will like "ET" as much as me, so "ET" will definitely have a good result. You have a little confidence in yourself, you are a creative Xu Cun, the number one director in Asia who has achieved several miracles!" Zhong Chuhong encouraged Xu Cun.

"It's not that I don't have confidence, it's that I'm greedy. To tell you the truth, I'm not worried that "ET" won't get good grades, but I want to use "ET" to get more." Xu Cun said.

"More?" Zhong Chuhong repeated with surprise.

"Well! I want to build a big-entertainment-entertainment empire, and I want the entertainment industry to hear my voice!" Xu Cun said ambitiously.

Zhong Chuhong looked Xu Cun up and down twice, curled her lips and said, "What? You still want to be the emperor? Then you get a seventy-two concubine from the Sangong and Six Courts?"

Originally, Xu Cun had condensed a lot of domineering aura, and even revealed a trace of arrogance that looked down on the world, but after hearing Zhong Chuhong's disdainful words, Xu Cun's aura instantly leaked out. Then, he said in a very weak manner: "I have this idea. I wonder if Hong Gu, you can fulfill this emperor?"

"Fulfill you big-headed ghost, hurry up and get ready, we will set off tomorrow morning, have you packed all your things?" Zhong Chuhong said.

"Not yet, or you can clean it up for me." Xu Cun pushed his nose up and said.

"No!" Zhong Chuhong refused without hesitation. Moreover, Zhong Chuhong was going to turn around and leave as before.

However, before Zhong Chuhong turned around, Xu Cun said in a very decadent voice: "Ah Hong, can you give me a hug?"

Hearing this, Zhong Chuhong's feet just stopped. But the next moment, Zhong Chuhong was still ready to leave.

But at this moment, Xu Cun said again in a begging voice: "Ah Hong, it is inevitable that you will hug me when you are filming, can you hug me as if you were an actor playing your opponent? I... need your comfort. "

Xu Cun's words were all about this, how could Zhong Chuhong, who already had a crush on Xu Cun, have the heart to leave?

After struggling for a while, Zhong Chuhong turned around and walked in front of Xu Cun, hugging Xu Cun gently.

Then, Zhong Chuhong was ready to let Xu Cun go.

But what Zhong Chuhong didn't expect was that just when she was about to let go, Xu Cun hugged her tightly in his arms——Xu Cun held Hu Huizhong with such strength that Hu Huizhong was almost breathless.

Zhong Chuhong is not a woman who gives in easily - she pushes Xu Cun without hesitation, ready to push Xu Cun away.

But just when Zhong Chuhong's hand touched Xu Cun, an excited female voice suddenly came from outside: "A Cun, "ET" has entered the main competition, and it has also been selected as the opening film of the Cannes Film Festival!"

Xu Cun and Zhong Chuhong were stunned at the same time by this explosive news!

Immediately, Xu Cun, who reacted a little faster, held Zhong Chuhong's face, and kissed Zhong Chuhong's sexy red lips fiercely!

This time, Zhong Chuhong, who did not give in easily, was also taken aback—all she could think about was: "It's over! The first kiss is gone..."
