Huayu: Starting from intercepting Duan Yu

Chapter 72 Go to Cannes to win an award
Although he wanted to break the deadlock, Xu Yi would definitely not choose to confront the General Administration and the Review Committee head-on.

It’s not that he is afraid, but it’s not worth it.

He is in the entertainment industry just to earn points and date female celebrities.

It's not like I really consider this as a career.

Even if he encountered a little setback, it was not worth it for him to turn against him.

Not to mention flipping the table.

Immediately after Ning Hao left, he took out paper and pen and began to write the script.

He is not short of fame or profit now, he only lacks status and influence.

The so-called "little king of mainland music" is just hype from the media.

But his real status in the entertainment industry is still lacking.

Not to mention the influence.

Not to mention comparing with those big-name directors.

He can't even compare to some top stars.

So he needs to improve his status and influence now.

Especially the international influence!

To be more precise, it is the influence from Europe and the United States!

Otherwise, the influence in Chinese-speaking regions alone will not work in China!
If you want to increase the influence of Europe and the United States, the most direct way is to win awards!
The three major European film festivals are Berlin, Cannes and Venice.

And the American Oscars.

If you win any of these awards, you will have both status and influence!
Why is Lao Mouzi’s status so high?

Isn’t it just that he won more of the three major European awards!
And there is Brother Kaizi, who won the Palme d'Or at Cannes with the movie "Farewell My Concubine". He has been making a living from it all his life!

This year's Berlin Film Festival opens in February, so I definitely won't be able to make it.

The Venice Film Festival is in September, which is too late.

The only remaining Cannes Film Festival is in May, so if you hurry up, you’ll still make it in time!
At the same time, the Cannes Film Festival is the most prestigious among the three major European film festivals!

In some ways, it is no worse than the Oscars!
But it is not easy to win the Palme d'Or.

The film must be made with depth, otherwise even if it can participate, it will definitely not win the award.

This is also why so many domestic directors participate in foreign film festivals.

It’s because they are not good enough!

But Xu Yi would definitely not do that.

He has a lot of award-winning scripts in his mind.

Find a script that's not too dark and adapt it a little.

With his master-level screenwriting skills, it is not a difficult task.

In addition, the world economy is doing pretty well now.

In addition, China had just joined the WTO and was about to become the world's factory.

It can be said that the whole world has enjoyed the benefits brought by China's cheap goods.

The hostility of Europe and the United States towards China is far from that great.

So even if you don’t vilify China, you still have a chance to win the award!
Then an hour later, Xu Yi finished writing the script.

The movie he chose was "Love", which won the Palme d'Or at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival in his previous life.

It tells the story of two elderly people in their 80s facing illness and death.

This kind of thing can happen to anyone in any country.

It is simply unavoidable.

Naturally, it cannot be considered a dark side.

Moreover, the male and female protagonists in the play are retired music teachers.

Not only does he live a very decent life.

Even at the age of 80, they are still very much in love.

There is nothing left to show.

Therefore, it is entirely possible to pass the review of the General Administration and participate in the Cannes Film Festival openly.

And when faced with a film that has the potential to win an award, I will definitely not feel embarrassed.

And once the award is really won, the mere issue of "Chinese Paladin" being broadcast on TV will naturally not be a problem at all!

... "Is this... a movie script?"

Seeing Xu Yi finished writing the script, Yan Xinchen couldn't help but ask.

She had been standing by before, but Xu Yi wrote so fast that she didn't have time to read the entire plot.

"The General Administration won't allow 'Chinese Paladin' to be broadcast, so I'm planning to make a movie and win an award at Cannes to elevate my status and influence."

Xu Yi did not hide it either.

Then he handed the finished script to Yan Xinchen.

"Going to Cannes to win an award?"

Yan Xinchen was immediately speechless.

Do you really think Cannes is some fake award that you can win whenever you want?

If it were really that easy, the country would have been filled with internationally renowned directors!

But she still took the script and read it carefully.

And this movie "Love" not only won the Palme d'Or in Xu Yi's previous life.

It also won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, as well as various other international awards.

The script is naturally excellent as well.

Plus Xu Yi's master-level screenwriting skills.

After reading it for less than ten minutes, Yan Xinchen immediately knew that this script was absolutely excellent!

After watching it all, I understood in my heart that if this movie could be made.

And if it’s a good shot.

I don’t know if I can go to Cannes and win an award.

But it will definitely become a classic!
It’s a pity that the heroine of this movie is an 80-year-old woman, and she definitely can’t act in the role.

Not even with makeup.

She doesn't have the acting skills or confidence to play this role well.

But when faced with a film that has the potential to become a classic, or even win international awards, it is absolutely impossible for her to not be tempted!
"How about you play the role of a nurse?"

Xu Yi asked.

He originally wrote this role specifically for Yan Xinchen.

And Yan Xinchen's acting skills are also very good.

At least that's the case among actors of her age.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to win the Huabiao Award for Best Newcomer at the age of 19.

The three major awards in mainland China in this era still have some value.

Hearing him say this, Yan Xinchen was naturally overjoyed.

This is the role that suits her best in the script.

Although she didn't have many roles, she was already very satisfied.

But she also knows that there is no reward without pain.

So the next moment, she threw a coquettish glance at Xu Yi.

She immediately pushed Xu Yi down on the sofa...

……

……

The next day, leaving Senior Sister Yan who had worked hard all night, Xu Yi went to the Copyright Protection Center in person to prepare to register the copyright of the script.

However, copyright registration generally takes one month, and Xu Yi certainly cannot wait that long.

Fortunately, you can find scalpers.

Then I submitted the application in the morning and the copyright was registered in the afternoon.

Next, the script can be sent to the General Administration for review.

After passing the test and obtaining the filming permit, you can officially start filming.

But at the same time, script review also takes time, and Xu Yi can't wait.

So I can only review and shoot at the same time.

As long as the script is fully reviewed before applying for the Dragon Mark, there will be no problem.
