My artist wants to quit the entertainment industry every day

Chapter 106 The remake rights are sold, and I will appear on stage after you sing (Chapter 1 please subscribe! Please ask for a monthly ticket and ask for a reward!)

The best director at the Cannes International Film Festival naturally missed Lao Zhao.

not only that.

The following important awards, the Jury Grand Prix, the Jury Award, and the Jury Special Mention Award, have nothing to do with "Buried Alive".

Especially the most important, the Palme d'Or, was finally given to this year's hit movie, Kimchi Country's Bong Joon-ho's "Parasite".

First of all, this movie is really well shot. From the perspective of the two families, the whole society is clearly explained.

Secondly, the filming of this film is really awesome, allowing filmmakers and movie fans all over the world to satisfy their desire to spy on the dark side of a country.

Old Zhao thought it was awesome.

"The movie over there in Kimchi Country is too daring to shoot."

Lao Zhao looked at Bong Joon-ho, who was gathering all the attention on the stage, and said with a sneer, "The problem is, what was filmed in his movie is just a tickle for Kimchi Country! The so-called rich people in it, In front of those consortiums, he is nothing but scum."

When the camera came over, Chi Yu smiled.

Old Zhao didn't care about that, he was a director, and what a director wanted was personality, he continued, "If that President Park doesn't die in the end, what do you think will happen?"

"What result?"

Chi Yu naturally didn't know.

He's not a screenwriter.

"President Park, as a CEO in the IT industry, is an emerging upper class. If he doesn't die, in Bong Joon-ho's script, the next one will become Kim Ki-taek."

When Lao Zhao said this, he showed great confidence.

Kim Ki-taek is the hero in "Parasite", corresponding to President Park, the poor class.

Chi Yu understood.

The so-called becoming Kim Jize means that soon, if this emerging upper class wants to join the class above the upper class, it will be the same as Kim Jize who wants to join them.

They are not used to the smell of poor people on Kim Ki-taek.

No matter how high the place is, those consortiums may be used to the smell of "poor people" on them?

"Oh, there is actually another possibility."

Lao Zhao stood up, because Feng Junhao had finished his speech, and it was time for the awards show to end.

Old Zhao looked at Feng Junhao who was walking by him, and Chi Yu knew that what he was looking at was actually the Palme d'Or.

"The other biggest possibility is that President Park will either be killed by the consortium, or be annexed by the consortium. Only these two possibilities are the most in line with the status quo of the kimchi country."

Old Zhao is well-informed, and Chi Yu is ashamed of himself.

"Finally something has changed in Cannes."

Lao Zhao said: "Previous Cannes award-winning films were generally profound, artistic, and meaningful. And, they were usually a little boring, or even boring."

Chi Yu nodded. Before coming, he also learned about some award-winning films in Cannes over the years.

To be honest, most of them are boring.

Even the shortlisted ones were boring.

But this year, the nominations for "Buried Alive" and "Parasite" were both unusual.

These two films, according to some filmmakers, are not Cannes-style films.

The difference from previous Cannes blockbuster films is that these two films have maintained the magnificence and excitement of commercial films.

"This may have something to do with this year's chairman of the jury, Inarrito. What he emphasizes the most is the viewing experience. These four words, there are absolutely no dull films."

"Doesn't that mean that next year it may return to boring films?"

"It's hard to say. Besides, aren't most of the movies this year also boring? What I like most about these European film festivals is artistry. What I don't like the most is the balance between art and business."

"That's what Hollywood does."

While chatting, the party is over.

After the party, the two did not leave immediately.

After all, this is a grand event for filmmakers, and Chi Yu won two awards for best actor and best screenwriter. Of course, the latter one was shared with Lao Zhao.

It would be too much to go straight away.

With Lao Zhao around, there is no problem in communicating with others.

Chi Yu secretly made up his mind that he had to learn more languages, at least some mainstream languages, he still had to learn a little bit, the feeling that he could only rely on translation to communicate with others was too torturous.

Or at least bring a translator and let Lao Zhao be the translator. Chi Yu always feels that he will be the same as Guo Degang.

"Hey, Zhao, Chi, is it convenient to have a glass of wine together?"

At this time, a handsome white guy in a suit and tie came over with a glass of wine.

When I asked the name, I learned that it was Rodrigo Cortez.

Is a Spanish filmmaker, a director, screenwriter, producer and editor.

It is simply a replica of Lao Zhao.

Even Lao Zhao has done more than him.

Among the nine nominations.

Actors and original songs are exclusive awards for Chi Yu, the script is a joint award for the two, and the best film is a joint award for the crew.

And the remaining five prizes are all Lao Zhao's prizes.

In other words.

In the movie "Buried Alive", Lao Zhao did the director, screenwriter, photography, editing, sound effects, special effects, including the unnominated soundtrack and props.

Someone took the initiative to chat, Lao Zhao raised his eyebrows and raised his wine glass: "Why not?"

Rodrigo-Cortez complained as soon as he opened his mouth: "Zhao, Chi, you know, after watching your movie, I feel as if I also had such an idea, and then I was preempted by you."

Old Zhao smiled: "You know, in our country, there is an idiom called, Heroes see the same thing."

"Yes, yes, that's the feeling! Chinese is really great!"

"I also like your Spanish, I have been to your place, and I like the long history there."

After the two touted each other, they entered the theme.

It's actually the subject of Rodrigo Cortez, who clearly appreciates the movie Buried Alive.

He said that he analyzed almost all the details in the movie, and then said: "However, if it was me who made the film, I would make it a little more desperate. In other words, let the audience have a doubt after watching it. It is doubtful whether those people have taken a rescue operation!"

"You are awesome!"

Old Zhao gave a thumbs up, and Chi Yu was also a little creepy.

"Ha ha!"

Rodrigo Cortez raised his eyebrows proudly, and then said: "So, can you sell me the English remake rights of this movie?"

It was meant to be a remake.

That is of course a good thing.

It's not that Lao Zhao didn't think about it. If he has time, he can make another foreign version. In that case, he can make "Buried Alive" in different countries.

But in this way, the amount of work is too large.

And this small movie is not worth involving too much energy in him.

That's it.

So Lao Zhao smiled and raised his wine glass: "Why not?"

Then there is the price negotiation.

Both are directors and both are artists with multiple roles, so one half buys half free, the other half buys half free, and finally completes the transfer of the remake rights at a seemingly reasonable price.

The whole process looks very uncommercial.

Of course, this remake right is limited to English remake rights.

As for the remake rights in other countries, if you want to buy it, you can naturally sell it.

But when they checked out of the hotel room the next day and were about to leave the beautiful city of Cannes, no one came to ask for the remake rights.

……

After the Cannes International Film Festival was over, most of the domestic media were looking forward to it, waiting for Lao Zhao and Chi Yu to come back, and immediately interviewed the first-hand news.

After you sing, I will appear.

Spain.

Chi Yu and Lao Zhao have already come to Spain, and sat in a relatively unbiased corner of the awards ceremony, waiting for the opening of the Spanish Goya Film Awards.

This is an award that is far less important than Cannes.

After all, it was originally only a domestic film award in Spain, and its status was compared to the Golden Pheasant Award in Huaguo.

Now I don't know why, but it suddenly changed to an international award.

Chi Yu reckoned that he also wanted to be in line with international films.

"The trophy of this award looks, at least a little more formal than the one in Cannes."

Lao Zhao said with a smile that he did not tell Rodrigo Cortez that he would come to Spain to collect awards.

The trophy of the Goya Film Awards is the sculptural head of their master, Francisco Goya.

Chi Yu also liked this trophy, at least it looked very artistic.

Although the Goya Film Award is not a heavyweight award, when the news spread to China, the enthusiasm for Chi Yu winning Cannes Best Actor had not yet subsided, and it soared again.

"What the hell? These two didn't come back, and they went to Spain to collect prizes again?"

"Fuck! I suddenly had a bold idea. If all the film festivals in the world arranged the rhythm of your singing and my appearance, would Chi Yu complete a round trip with this "Buried Alive" A feat of the world?"

"The Spanish Goya Film Award, originally the Spanish Film Goya Award, seems to have changed its name. In fact, it has changed from only selecting films in Spain to selecting films from all over the world."

"It is estimated that not many people know about this award, so it is a fluke that "Buried Alive" was selected."

"After counting, there are only three or four shortlisted foreign films, including "Buried Alive", and I haven't heard of any of them."

"Hehe! Don't talk about this award, even in Cannes, besides "Buried Alive" and the hit "Parasite", which movie do you know?"

"What a fluke! Go and see, nine nominations! That's nine nominations! The highest film in Spain is only ten nominations!"

"Cow batch!"

"Come on, come on, let's make a prediction. Among these nine nominations, which ones will "Buried Alive" get?"

"There's no way to predict, after all, you don't know the quality of the other nominated films. What if it's possible, nine nominations, and all of them will go with them in the end?"

"It's impossible to run with everyone. We did it like this in the first session, and who will come after that?"

"makes sense."

Therefore, some people began to predict that "Buried Alive" would win several awards at the Goya Film Awards.

Of course, when predicting, I also discovered the weirdness of the nomination.

"What the hell are the special effects and original songs? I re-watched "Buried Alive" three times, but I didn't find any special effects in it? Where are the original songs? I read all the subtitles."

"+1 for watching "Buried Alive" three times!"

"+2 for watching "Buried Alive" three times!"

"+10086 for watching "Buried Alive" three times!"

Then, some video accounts started to do analysis.

They did find the special effects and original songs, but after analyzing them, they came back to the conclusion that these two awards were either given out by the organizers as a joke, or they thought the special effects and original songs in this movie were really awesome.

As for what's so awesome, the guy who analyzed the film didn't say why.

Within Su Tang Media, these voices are naturally indispensable.

"At present, it seems that the best original screenplay and best actor are the most likely to be awarded, and the best director is also a little bit possible."

In the office on the top floor, Su Aijia analyzed: "As for the photography, editing, sound effects, special effects, and original songs, I think it's a bit like filling out a list."

Su Aifei is also there, and she agrees with her sister's prediction.

However, what she wanted to say was something else: "Sister, I think we should apply for more awards. Now it seems that "Buried Alive" will definitely be a big hit after Cannes."

"Well, this is what it should be. If you don't use it if you have the opportunity, it's a waste."

Su Aijia nodded, but what she has to do is: "Now we can start, let "Buried Alive" test the waters in foreign markets."

Just when Sutang Media began to operate "Buried Alive" to test the foreign film market.

Marriott Music Hall Hotel, Madrid, Spain.

10 p.m. local time.

A Goya Film Awards ceremony awarded by the Spanish Academy of Arts and Film Sciences, named after the Spanish art master Francisco Goya, with Goya's head as a trophy, and changed to an international award for the first time, officially start.

"Buried Alive" has nine nominations, and it is unknown how many Goya's works will be won.
