Chapter 205

As the host slowly walked onto the stage.

The Cannes Film Festival officially opened.

It was still the introduction process, sponsors and brand owners all said a lot.

Immediately after, it was the screening of promotional videos for each shortlisted movie.

Today, a total of sixty-two movies were shortlisted.

The promotional video for each movie was mostly around two minutes.

Plus the host's commentary.

It wouldn't exceed five minutes.

Therefore, not only would it not make the guests bored, but it could also play a certain promotional role!

Starting from the first movie.

'Frankie'.

This is a drama and family movie filmed by a French director.

The promotional video was filmed very beautifully, very moving, and also very captivating.

The second one, 'Atlantics'.

The third one, 'Pain and Glory'.

Actually, it's not that those who can be shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival will definitely have big box office sales.

But that they have specialties that surpass ordinary movies in innovation, conception, plot, and filming techniques.

However, these aspects may not necessarily make the audience pay for it.

Soon.

It reached 'The Wild Goose Lake'.

This is also a drama movie.

In the promotional video, the acting skills of Hu Ge, Gwei Lun-mei, Liao Fan, and others were definitely online.

And the plot was quite tortuous, and the visual sense was very strong.

However, the pre-sale of this movie in China was not optimistic.

Only sold over 10 million.

According to this trend, I'm afraid the final box office won't exceed 300-400 million!

It can be said that it is very niche.

Of course, being able to shortlist for Cannes shows that it still has artistic value.

It's just that the commercial value is lower.

"Director Diao is very suitable for filming this type of movie."

After watching it, Zhang Yimou sighed: "It's just that the promotional effort is not enough, and the attractiveness of the theme innovation is not big, which led to the low box office."

"Having this honor is also not bad."

"Many people want to be shortlisted, but don't have the chance!"

Liu Weiwei laughed.

"Everyone's pursuit is different."

Qin Mu interjected.

It is indeed so.

There are many good directors in the country; some of them film for the box office, trying their best to cater to the audience's taste, so the box office is big, but the artistic value is very low, and they almost haven't won any big movie awards.

But some people, regardless of the box office, only film art, win countless awards, and finally the box office flops.

However, they are still happy.

Of course, wanting to film a movie that has both box office and awards is extremely difficult.

In the Chinese film circle, I'm afraid only a few people have such strength.

And you have to look at luck; it's not that you can film it just because you want to!

"Come to think of it, Director Liu."

"Your 'The Captain', I'm afraid it will blossom in both art and commerce!"

Zhang Yimou joked.

'The Captain' is still half a month away from release, but the pre-sale box office has already broken 100 million.

One can imagine how high the box office will be after the official release!

"Brother Qin helped a lot!"

Liu Weiwei expressed his gratitude again.

Whether it's box office or being shortlisted, it is largely due to the promotional video filmed by Qin Mu!

"Mutual help."

Qin Mu smiled.

He achieved 'The Captain'.

'The Captain' also provided him with a bigger platform!

"Haha, I'm suddenly very confident in my next movie!"

Zhang Yimou laughed.

"Sigh, if only 'The Captain' could have let Brother Qin be the main photographer."

Liu Weiwei glanced at Zhang Yimou and muttered with a wry smile.

Reached the fifty-third movie.

'The Captain' is here!

Different from the edited, spliced promotional videos of other movies.

Liu Weiwei used a one-shot take.

Yes.

The content was what Qin Mu filmed.

No other content was added.

Even, not much was cut, maintaining the characteristic of a one-shot take.

Saw on the big screen.

Zhang Hanyu and others walked up one after another.

They were in formal attire, some serious, some playful, some joking around.

Different personalities.

Soon, crossed a long boarding gate and walked into the cabin.

Every detail was quite full, especially real, as if you yourself had walked inside.

Following the last shot.

Yuan Quan smiled slightly and closed the cabin door.

The entire venue, cheers and exclamations sounded!

"Holy cow, kind of looking forward to what will happen next?"

0 ······· Begging for flowers ····· ·····

"In just a short shot, it actually showed the personality characteristics of each of them!"

"Yeah, suddenly very looking forward to how they will react when they encounter a disaster later with such personalities!"

"The atmosphere is rendered very well, especially when the chief flight attendant closes the door at the end, there is a faint sense of fear!"

"This movie is really good, I've also seen that news, it was super thrilling at the time!"

Liu Weiwei vaguely heard the praise coming from his side, his face full of smiles.

Really good!

Immediately after, the host also gave a series of elegant praises for the viewing experience.

Clap clap clap!

Applause continued.

The atmosphere of the whole scene became active again.

........ 0...

You have to know, such a situation has only happened five or six times from the beginning to now.

One can imagine how popular this promotional video is!

"This promotional video, I really marvel at it every time I watch it."

"Too many details!"

Zhang Yimou said slowly.

"Me too."

"I feel like the person inside is really that character, not myself!"

Zhang Hanyu sighed.

"You actually have this feeling too?"

"Me too!"

"I feel like the one inside is the chief flight attendant, not me!"

Yuan Quan also said in surprise.

"Okay, me too."

Du Jiang smiled wryly.

For this matter, Huo Siyan specially bought him a captain's uniform and let him wear it.

As a result, after putting it on, he was disliked.

Said it didn't have that feeling, not like it at all!

But the more this is the case, the more it proves a truth!

Brother Qin's lens detail sense is too strong, shaping each character inside very perfectly.
