Chapter 970 The Winning Competitor

Chapter 978: Winning Competitor

"What do you care about?" Zhou Xia was a little surprised by Yaya's question.

"What's the matter, Yaya's question is very reasonable, your handling of it like this is too protagonist mode." Yu Fei who was on the side said assistingly.

She really hadn't considered the relationship between Carol and Terris. It was indeed flawed to hear Yaya's question.

Even if the two of them are true love, they cannot be without responsibility for their previous relationship.

Seeing that the two of them cared so much about this issue, Zhou Xia felt a little embarrassed on purpose, so she couldn't help shaking her head and smiling wryly.

"You don't see it clearly at all. It was true at the beginning. The two were a little dizzy because of love, so they temporarily separated from reality and stayed in the world of the two of them.

But after the trip, Carol and Terris broke up and went back to fight for custody. It took them a few years to sort out their relationship and grow into independent women. Isn't this the explanation for this situation?
Besides, your question is not valid at all, and there was no so-called love in marriage in that era. Carol and her husband, Triss and his boyfriend were all like this, and they were all together for the purpose of getting married. "

"...What about getting together just for the sake of getting married? Isn't there a saying called that, love not for the purpose of getting married is a hooligan. Your explanation is too forced."

Yaya stopped to eat breakfast and retorted seriously.

When Zhou Xia heard Yaya's nonsense, she obviously spoke from her standpoint, and didn't bother to say: "Okay, what you said is right, I'm done eating, you eat slowly, I still have a lot of activities today."

After saying this, Zhou Xia left the two of them and went back to the room to tidy up and change clothes.

After a little preparation, Zhou Xia went to join Jennifer and Nicole to do some promotional activities for the film in Cannes.

The schedules of several people are very tight, and Zhou Xia can stay here for an extra day or two because she promised Yufei to accompany her to relax.

Nicole, Jennifer, and Roger finished their trip in Cannes this afternoon and left.

When the final awards are nominated, I will return to Cannes again on the day of the awards ceremony.

"Director Zhou, what did you do last night? Why didn't you answer my calls?"

Zhou Xia and Jennifer were in the same car, and on their way to the Festival Palace, the eldest cousin whispered in Zhou Xia's ear.

"Oh, I drank a lot of wine last night. I was a little drunk. I went back to sleep and didn't hear anything." Zhou Xia said casually.

"Ok."

The eldest cousin looked at Zhou Xia in doubt, and continued to ask: "The movie will be released in your country at the end of this month. Is it because a lot of scenes have been cut?"

"Not too much, about a minute or so." Zhou Xia nodded.

After all, this is an American movie. Apart from being a lesbian theme and a bit of a passionate scene, in fact, other aspects are relatively easy to pass the review.

"A little more than a minute, that's okay. Will our film be fine in Cannes this time? In this case, there is hope for the Golden Globe Awards in the second half of the year, including next year's Oscars, right?"

The eldest cousin nodded, looked at Zhou Xia and asked tentatively.

"I hope." Zhou Xia understood that the eldest cousin was asking about his operation, but she didn't want to say anything more.

The operation of film awards is still based on the quality of the film. The current situation is that the film is very well received, so we must be more cautious in operation.

Otherwise, it will be counterproductive.

Some judges may have other thoughts once you go to public relations, which is not conducive to the film's awards.

"Okay, then look forward to it, or you're really going to lose money." The eldest cousin shrugged.

Of course she understood that Zhou Xia would be very strict about such things and would not talk nonsense, even if they had something to do with each other.

"Well, don't worry, no matter what, you won't lose money." Zhou Xia nodded.

Even if this movie wins an award, it doesn't have much hope at the North American box office, because globally, the box office of this kind of movie is very average, especially lesbian themes.

The top five gay-themed movies in movie history are all about gay men.

The reason for this is simple, because the audience of the movie is different.

Women may go to the theater to watch the male god have sex, but men seldom go to the theater to watch the goddess lesbian.

But even if the movie box office is not good, as long as it wins an award, the global box office plus selling copyright and video tapes, there is no problem in getting back the money.

After all, the quality of the movie is here, and Zhou Xia also deliberately played down same-sex love as a gimmick.

Some people who watch literary films will still like this type of film very much.

With a good reputation, coupled with the fans of many big names in the movie, the box office will not be too bad at least in the mainland.

Because there are many adult theaters and film and television programs in North America, audiences will not pay so much attention to such frivolous themes, but it is different in the mainland, where there are more restrictions and audiences see less.

Even though those important scenes were deleted during the review, the shooting of the movie involving love still created that beautiful atmosphere of love and desire, which is still enough to attract many audiences.

The two chatted for a while, and 3 minutes later, the car stopped in front of the Palais des Festivals. After a group of people got out of the car and went in, not long after a movie screening ended, several people went on stage to participate in the audience meeting.

Unlike last night, today's audience is no longer dominated by the media, most of them are ordinary audiences, fans of the two heroines and director Zhou Xia.

There are also many Chinese among them, all of whom are overseas students or local Chinese, and they are all loyal fans of Zhou Xia.

Once again, I enjoyed a round of warm applause, and listened to some audiences who were more knowledgeable talk about their feelings about watching movies.

Zhou Xia and the others felt more at ease.

From the 3.8 points of the media in the current program, plus the praise of ordinary audiences, at least it shows that there is no problem with the quality of the movie.

Then the next award is naturally the best, if not, don't worry so much.

After all, things like awards also depend on luck.

The Cannes Film Festival has not awarded the highest award to French films for several years. There are three French films this year, and they are all likely to win awards.
In the original time and space, the highest Palme d'Or at the 68th Cannes Film Festival was awarded to French director Jacques Audiard's "The Wandering Dupin".

This film is very concerned about the realities of France and is full of humanistic spirit. It tells the story of a temporary immigrant family.

Simple but not mediocre story, humanistic perspective, full-bodied characters, French-style social thinking, natural and plain acting skills of the actors, although there are no more breakthroughs and innovations in all aspects, they are also remarkable.

At least it is more realistic than "Carol", "Son of Saul", and "Assassin Nie Yinniang", which were the most popular at the original film festival.

But the current situation is hard to say. Zhou Xia's film also has many advantages, and it may be able to compete for the highest Palme d'Or.
