Huayu: Director started with art films

Chapter 29 [Green plums can't resist the fall from the sky, the Golden Palm is within reach] Request double monthly tickets, request follow-up reading

This statement came out.

Chairman Abraham raised his eyebrows, seeming to be thinking about something.

As a writer, Li Bihua was even more excited.

This sentence is really well said.

Write it down, be sure to write it down!
Lee Yi-su, it must be him who will shoot it, he can only be the director of "Farewell My Concubine"!

Seeing that everyone had different expressions, but without exception they all thought deeply about this sentence, Li Yishu smiled inwardly.

Just kidding, this is a classic quote!

When she first saw this sentence on the Internet, combined with the plot of "Brokeback Mountain", Li Yishu couldn't help but wonder if there was a Brokeback Mountain in her heart.

"In everyone's heart, there is a hometown called 'the past' that they cannot let go of and cannot return to..."

Chairman Abraham muttered to himself for a few words, and suddenly he applauded: "That's really great, Li. I didn't expect that at your age, you can have such insights. It's really great. I will definitely recommend your film to more film critics."

Can this be considered a PR success? !
Although Li Yishu has never participated in foreign film festivals, she has heard about the public relations of overseas film festivals. Who can blame her brainless cousin for her quick mouth and shouting out: Thanks to Harvey for helping me kill all my opponents!
The dark side of Oscars public relations was exposed to the whole world.

Europe's three major film festivals, Berlin, Cannes and Venice, appear to be fair, just and open.

We can apply Gu Long's words: where there are people, there is the world, and where there are movies, there is naturally public relations.

Why is it that after the opening of the film festival, there is still a week before the winners are announced at the closing ceremony.

Isn't the purpose of allowing the shortlisted directors to do appropriate public relations and promote their films within these seven days?

Chairman Abraham left, leaving with joy. He couldn't suppress his urge to write a film review about "the mountain in people's hearts".

"Director Li, what you said just now was really great."

Qiu Fusheng glanced at Xu Suo, who looked hesitant. He knew that he must be struggling, so he immediately said, "I thought I understood the movie, but now it seems that I need to watch it again a few times before I can understand what you want to express."

"Mr. Qiu, it's not that what I said was good, but that you moved yourself."

Li Yishu smiled and said, "Everyone has different feelings about homesickness. As I said just now, everyone has a mountain called "the past" in their hearts that they can never go back to, but we usually don't pay attention to it. Because of certain things, looking back on the past, we can always have different feelings."

"Yes!" Qiu Fusheng nodded in agreement.

While watching the movie, it did remind him of his hometown in Tainan, and later, Li Yishu's words completely evoked his memories of his hometown in Tainan.

All I can say is that the movie + this sentence achieved a good result of 1+1=3.

Qiu Fusheng took the initiative to say, "Boss Xu, how is it? I have already said that Director Li's ability is beyond doubt. The guy just now is the chairman of the Venice Film Critics Week, and he is optimistic about Director Li."

"Director Li is so young, but he can make such a memorable film. He is really young and promising, but..."

Xu Su's dilemma came back. She began to lean towards Li Yishu, but she had been struggling with Chen Kai for several years.

Just as Li Yishu said just now, Brother Chen Kai is the mountain in Xu Suo's heart.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, Gong Li was thinking of striking while the iron was hot and saying a few more nice words to get Xu Lu to make the decision, but when she noticed Li Yishu shaking her head at her, she had no choice but to hold her words back.

"Is there anyone?"

There was a sound outside, and two middle-aged men of Asian appearance walked in.

Zhang Yimou saw this and said, "It's almost time. You still have visitors coming, so we'll take our leave first."

Li Yishu said gratefully, "Director Zhang, thank you and Mr. Qiu for this time."

"We are all on our own, and we should help each other."

After a few more pleasantries, Zhang Yimou and others left. Gong Li wanted to stay, but she had something to say to Zhang Yimou, so after talking to Li Yishu for a few words, she left in a hurry.

"Director Li, I admit that you performed very well, but please allow me to consider this matter."

Xu Xu came to Li Yishu with a slightly apologetic expression. "It's okay, Ms. Xu. I really like this story and I have the confidence to make it a good one, but I still need your consent."

Li Yishu smiled brightly. He really liked the movie "Farewell My Concubine". He liked it so much that he wondered why he didn't shoot it himself!
Judging from the situation now, there is a lot of hope, so he will naturally try his best.

"Tomorrow, I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

Looking at Li Yishu's sincere face, Xu Lu felt a little guilty. He couldn't say no to such an outstanding young man, so he had to turn around and leave.

Before leaving, Li Bihua said something harsh, "Director Li, I have already decided on you. If Sister Xu doesn't agree, I will authorize you to shoot another film. As for investment, Mr. Qiu thinks highly of you, so he will definitely be willing to invest in you."

Li Bihua is the author of the original work. If she is really determined to grant Li Yishu authorization regardless of the risk of breach of contract, it is indeed feasible.

But Li Yishu naturally couldn't do that. Judging from Xu Su's situation just now, he most likely agreed in his heart. He didn't give an answer at this moment, probably because he wanted to make an excuse for himself.

It's like pursuing your first love for several years, and just when you are about to succeed in holding hands, someone better than your first love suddenly appears and pursues you and loves you desperately. Anyone would hesitate.

First love is good, but it always ends in failure!

After everyone left, Li Yishu looked at the two middle-aged Asians who came in and said, "Hello, the exhibition has just ended, so you may need to wait for a while."

The middle-aged man in the lead stepped forward, half bowed and said, "Thank you!"

Li Yishu was slightly startled: "Japanese?"

"Yes, we are from the film acquisition department of Toho Corporation. My name is Ichiro Tanaka. May I ask if the person who just left is your country's director Zhang Yimou?"

"Yes, it's him."

"So you must be Director Lee Ye-seo of 'The Mountain, the Man, the Dog'?"

"it's me."

"Si Guoyi!"

Ichiro Tanaka and his colleagues behind him exclaimed immediately when they heard that the other party was the director.

They really couldn't imagine that this young man who looked only 20 years old was actually Li Yishu, another Chinese director shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival.

Listening to the two people's chattering, Li Yishu frowned, "Mr. Tanaka, do you want to see it?"

"Of course! Mr. Li, we really hope to see this film."

"Then please go to the door first. Wait for me to pack up, and then you can buy your tickets and come in."

"Of course it's no problem, but where can I buy the tickets? I didn't see anyone at the door."

“Buy it from me.”

Originally, Lee Yi-su would have invited the film producer who introduced himself to her to watch the film for free, but since he was Japanese, she decided to sell tickets, which would at least make a few dollars.

The next morning.

Li Yishu had just come out of the hotel and was about to go to the exhibition hall to continue working as a ticket seller when he ran into Xu Lu and Li Bihua who were looking for him.

"Director Li, I have decided to let you direct the film Farewell My Concubine. I hope you won't let Bihua and me down."

The moment Xu Lu said this, he seemed to feel a lot more relaxed.

The matter that had troubled her for several years finally came to an end today.

"Don't worry, Ms. Xu. I will definitely make this film well and submit it for the competition. I'll try to win one of the three major European awards!"

Li Yishu's face was filled with joy. She didn't dare to say that she would definitely win the Golden Palm, but at least the success rate was 50%.

To him, the golden palm seemed within reach.

It turns out that the old saying is right, green plums can't resist the love that falls from the sky after all!
