Chapter 275: The premiere of "To Live" ended, and the world was boiling
The premiere of "To Live" has ended.

".The Tianxia competition work "To Live" premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and caused a strong response. The scene broke out into warm applause for 20 minutes, becoming the highlight of the Cannes Film Festival. This is also the longest applause a film screened at this film festival has received so far.

The female lead Lian Wen was so moved that her eyes filled with tears, and the male lead Qing Chu bowed to salute everyone!
The film's director Cheng Cheng answered everyone's questions on the spot.

The film tells the story of the protagonist Fugui's family who survived the hardships they experienced under social changes. Through the fate of Fugui's family, the film shows the cruelty of history and the tenacity of human nature.

Film critic Vianney Waters commented: "To Live is an epic without losing its simplicity and roughness, a story of struggle and survival, leaving an indelible image of cruelty and kindness."

This is a very exciting Tianxia movie. I never thought such a movie would come from a 22-year-old young director. It may be the strongest contender for this year's Cannes Film Festival!"

"The director of 'To Live' cursed at a reporter from the same country on the spot. The world will have one more director with personality."

"It's been a long time since we've seen such an excellent Tianxia film on the international film scene. To Live is aiming for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival!"

“The most popular film at this year’s Cannes Film Festival comes from Tianxia.”

The next day, the world media began reporting on the incident.

"To Live" received rave reviews.

At the same time, domestic media also exploded!

The champagne has already started to be opened in advance!
This is how the domestic media reported:

"This year's highest-scoring movie! To Live received 20 minutes of applause at Cannes, a treatment not even offered by Jia Zhen Temple. Cheng Cheng is aiming for the Palme d'Or!"

“I thought it would be amazing, who could have imagined it would be so amazing!
The highest-scoring film at the Cannes Film Festival has been born.

I'm talking about the movie starring Cheng Cheng and Chu Qing:

"Alive".

After the film was screened, the applause at the scene was said to last more than 20 minutes. Some film critics praised this as the best film of this year's Cannes Film Festival, an epic film full of Tianxia characteristics; at the same time, some film critics praised Chu Qing for his best performance in his current career in the film.

Chu Qing completely let herself go in the movie, and her acting was amazing throughout. Wen Lian, who played the leading actress, was not inferior to Chu Qing at all, and she also received a lot of praise.

Chu Qing received a lot of praise this time. Is he going to win the Best Actor award again?

And Cheng Cheng is making his debut at the Cannes Film Festival. Will he win the Palme d'Or for Tianxia again after nine years? "

Domestic netizens are excited!

#Cheng Cheng's "To Live"#, #"To Live" received over 20 minutes of applause#, #"To Live" is sure to win the award#, #Cheng Cheng scolded a reporter from Taiwan#, #Cheng Cheng's original words of scolding#, #Cheng Cheng is the best at this year's Cannes Film Festival#, #Chu Qing's acting skills are legendary# and a series of other terms became hot searches!

"I knew that Cheng Cheng, Chu Qing and Wen Lian, this lineup would definitely succeed! But I never expected it to be so fierce! Even the foreigners are so shocked!"

“Let’s get going! Let’s get going completely!!!”

"What is a young director? Brother Frog is awesome—"

"A masterpiece! It's a masterpiece!!!"

"It's so fucking cool! I love watching plots like this! Frog reminds me of a young man in fancy clothes and a furious horse, so fucking apt!"

"Palme d'Or! Palme d'Or! Palme d'Or!"

"Shi Zai and Jia Zhensi may be in danger!"

"The funniest thing is Luo Wei. Compared with Cheng Cheng, one is as good as the other. Look at what Luo Wei said at the press conference and what Brother Frog said! This is really a great honor and a relief!"

Lu Zhuofeng also became excited. Could it be that after nine years, Cheng Cheng could really bring back a trophy for Tianxia in the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival?

Jiang Nan, Yan Gou'er, Li Zhuo, Jiang Wang, Jiang Jun and others also sent congratulatory messages to Cheng Cheng, looking forward to his return with honor.

"Cheng, 2000 million US dollars is already the limit. No more. If it's more, we won't make any money." In the room, a big film producer bargained with Cheng Cheng.

Cheng Cheng shook his head and said in fluent French:
"Bruce, the awards ceremony will be held in three days. You know, my movie received 20 minutes of applause, so it will definitely win an award. Now I can still offer a price of 2500 million US dollars, but after the closing ceremony, it will not be this price anymore."

Bruce still insists:

“But ‘To Live’ isn’t necessarily going to win the highest award, is it?”

Cheng Cheng spread his hands: "Then let's wait until after the awards ceremony to talk, or I can talk to other film producers."

Having said that, Cheng Cheng stood up and prepared to see the guest off.

Bruce shouted quickly:
"Wait! Okay, wait a little longer!"

Cheng Cheng said, "Actually, you won't lose anything with 2500 million US dollars. After all, this is the entire European market, with 44 countries. The countries that love art films the most are all here. And to be honest, I don't care about 2500 million US dollars at all. It's only a little over million RMB. The box office of every movie I made in China starts at billion. If I were to take the profit-sharing route, I would never sell it to you."

Bruce was conflicted and couldn't make up his mind.

For the movie "To Live", Chu Qing was the only one who could carry the box office, and he offered the high price of 2000 million US dollars just for Chu Qing's sake. Apart from that, he was not sure that the European market would buy this Tianxia movie.

What's more, there is no award yet.

"let it go."

Cheng Cheng didn't force him, waved his hand and sent the guest away.

Afterwards, he met with film buyers from Neon, Peninsula and other places.

In comparison, East Asian countries are more willing to lick him, speak sweetly and dare to offer prices.

However, except for a few countries where Cheng Cheng sold the copyright, he did not sell it to most countries, such as Japan and Peninsula.

He has connections in Neon and Peninsula, and he plans to share the profits from the screening.

In three days, it will be the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival, which is also the awards ceremony.

There is an unwritten rule at the Cannes Film Festival:
All shortlisted films are eligible to attend the closing ceremony.

But in addition to this, the organizing committee will also personally distribute invitations. The crews that receive the invitations can be 100% sure that they will win the award. This is how the organizing committee ensures that the winning films can be present to avoid embarrassing situations.

The crew of "To Live" received the invitation letter early in the morning.

Wen Lian, Li Yang, Qi Hao and others were all extremely excited.

Jia Zhensi also received the invitation letter a little later. The moment he received the invitation letter, he felt relieved.

He doesn't expect to win any big prize, as long as he doesn't return empty-handed.

The crew of "Glory" received the invitation letter the day before the closing ceremony and breathed a sigh of relief.

Only "Giving Birth to a Daughter" has not received an invitation letter.

Luo Wei's eyes were bloodshot and she was in great pain:
Why?
Why didn’t my movie receive an invitation?

My movie took me a year to polish!
But we risked everything and invited Bai Bei to participate!
Why can't I compare to Cheng Cheng?
Why could he be so disrespectful to me that day?

I am not satisfied!
I don’t accept it!!!

She decided!

Even if the first and second female lead have gone back! Even if there is no one left in the entire "Giving Birth to a Daughter" crew!
Tomorrow she will also wear a skirt and attend the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival like a queen!

She wants to see what award the highly praised "To Live" can win!
ps: Please give me a monthly ticket, there will be another chapter later
