Zhang Yuanjun's health is fine and he will be fine after just two days of rest.
But medical treatment is really expensive in the United States!
During the two days of rest, Zhang Yuanjun has been summarizing the results of the six days of seclusion. At first, he thought he could survive the self-confidence. Later, due to the cramped environment and lack of food, he began to have physical discomfort, which then affected his mentality. After lying to Rodrigo, he thought he had regained his life, and then he was thrown to the ground, giving him hope but then destroying it...
All kinds of complicated feelings flashed repeatedly in Zhang Yuanjun's mind, and he had to deeply understand this feeling.
Director Rodrigo and screenwriter Chris came to see him, and both frankly said they were frightened by him: "If anything happens to you, I can't take responsibility." They also joked, "Fortunately, no residents reported our illegal imprisonment, otherwise we would The crew is in big trouble."
"Zhang, are you ok?"
"I'm very ok." Zhang Yuanjun smiled, "I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. We will start the machine on time in the morning."
"Don't you need to rest for a few more days?"
"No, I feel very good now and can't wait to turn it on." Zhang Yuanjun said.
"Okay, we'll start on time tomorrow."
The next day, Zhang Yuanjun, accompanied by his assistant Xiao Zhao, came to the studio.
On the day of launch, the other three major investors of "Buried Alive", China Film, Huayi and Summit Entertainment all sent relevant representatives.
The one from China Film Group was a vice president of production, the representative from Summit Entertainment was an entrusted independent producer, and from Huayi, Wang Zhonglei came in person.
We also brought domestic reporters to shoot and report.
If you think about it, you can understand that Huayi needs to speculate on Hollywood stories.
"Huayi has always insisted on walking on two legs at home and abroad, and supporting new forces is what we have always done." Wang Zhonglei was bragging to reporters, "Although Zhang Yuanjun is not an artist of our Huayi, we are very optimistic about his development, so he If you want to go to Hollywood, we will definitely give our full support."
"Investing in "Buried Alive" is an important step for Huayi to go to Hollywood. The movie will be released next year, and Huayi will definitely do a good job in supporting the distribution."
"Huayi will continue to invest overseas in the future. This year and next, we plan to invest in 10 Hollywood movies and prepare to build a global distribution system belonging to Huayi."
"Our goal must not be just domestic. We must become a company like Universal and Disney."
If you're bragging, you must be bragging too much!
When it was Zhang Yuanjun's turn, he was not as capable as Wang Zhonglei.
"The film cost is not high, and the preparation work has been done well. It should be shot very quickly."
"You haven't even graduated yet and can play the leading role in a Hollywood movie. How does it feel special?"
"I don't have any special feelings, I just keep shooting like this."
The reporter is almost dead, how can anyone answer the question like this?
"So what do you think is the biggest difference between making movies in China and in the United States?"
"The difference is that one was filmed in Chinese and the other was filmed in English."
Didn’t I say that Zhang Yuanjun’s interviews were easy to do? Why was he so difficult to handle today?
Seeing the reporter's strangeness, Zhang Yuanjun smiled: "I'm just kidding, actually I don't know, I haven't turned on the phone yet."
"It's okay." The reporter smiled.
After the interview, the staff guided the media to leave. In the studio, director Rodrigo Cortez officially started filming.
Zhang Yuanjun was lying in a special coffin, with a camera directly above him.
…………
The 59th Cannes International Film Festival will open on the 18th of this month.
The chairman of the jury for this year's main competition unit is Wang Jiawei, and Zhang Ziyi is also a judge for the main competition unit.
There are no Chinese Entertainment films shortlisted for the main competition in Cannes this year, but Chinese Entertainment filmmakers are not uncommon.
Du Qifeng took Louis Koo and Yam Dahua to promote "Underworld 2". Last year, the first film was shortlisted for the main competition. This year, you can only watch onlookers, and the treatment at Cannes is not very high. It must be said that the world is cold and people's hearts are warm and cold.
Donnie Yen took his wife and sister to Cannes to promote the upcoming film "Dragon and Tiger Gate".
However, there are two teams of new faces coming to Cannes this year.
Xu Ke came to Cannes with "Animal World" to invest in and sell the rights.
Summit Entertainment also brought "Buried Alive" to Cannes to discuss selling the rights.
The current investment gap of "Animal World" is actually not large. Selling the copyrights of several countries and regions on the trading market can basically complete the purpose of raising funds.
What "Animal World" really wants to do is promote and build its reputation.
So Xu Ke didn't bring anyone else, so he brought Venice Best Actor Xia Yu alone - the crew also had a limited budget.
The purpose of "Buried Alive" is also this. The filming has already started, and it is first to build a reputation.
In fact, "Buried Alive" didn't need to go to great lengths to promote it. This movie attracted widespread attention as soon as it hit the market.
Now that the war in Iraq is raging, anti-war sentiment is rising around the world.
Films like "Buried Alive" naturally attract the attention of producers in the trading market.
Moreover, the novelty of "Buried Alive" is that it is not a military film. Whether the film producers will buy it or not is another matter, but it will be more or less attracted to talk about it.
The disadvantage of "Buried Alive" is that it is not a military action movie. It is about war. Everyone likes to watch gun battles with airplanes and cannons.
What's the point of being buried alone in the desert?
And if you don’t even have a trailer or a promotional video, you just bring a poster and a synopsis of the story, how can you sell it?
Therefore, in the trading market, "Buried Alive" has received good attention, with many inquiries, but not many transactions.
In comparison, "Animal World" sold better.
Not to mention in Europe and the United States, Xu Ke has a good reputation in Asia. Film producers from Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and Thailand came to the small office of "Animal World" to inquire about prices.
The original work of "Animal World" is in Japan, and Japanese film producers are also the most interested in the film.
On the fifth day of the film festival, Japan's Kadokawa Pictures offered US$1.3 million to buy out the Japanese rights to "Animal World."
The Korean market is not as big as Japan, but Xu Ke still negotiated a good price of US$520,000 with CJ.
A total of US$613,000 was sold in the three places of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand - when it comes to the latter part, it is half-buy, half-free and hurry up to sign the contract.
The European and American markets did not accept "Animal World", and Xu Ke did not expect to be able to sell this film to Europe and the United States.
European and American film producers play three-pole games if they have jujubes or not. I think this kind of card game is quite new, so I came to ask about it.
In the end, Warner bought all the rights to "Animal World" in Europe, the United States and Africa for US$1.75 million.
The crew of "Animal World" completed the task ahead of schedule and exceeded the target. Xu Ke suddenly felt that the film producers were not blind. "Animal World" sold well. Does this mean that the film has something to watch and sell?
Maybe I can really turn around with this movie.
The sales of "Buried Alive" were average. Until the end of the film festival and the trading market was closed, it was able to sell the copyrights to 20 countries and regions. However, the global distribution was negotiated well-who wouldn't want to release the film if it was available.
"Underworld 2" is more average. The era of gangster movies has really passed.
As an action film, "Dragon and Tiger Gate" has always been favored overseas and returned with great success.
The most surprising and even shocking thing at this year's Cannes is that the jury led by Wang Jiawei awarded five best actors and six best actresses!
Public opinion in the international film community exploded immediately.
What is this guy wearing sunglasses doing? ! !
