Entertainment: God-level director

The Cannes Film Festival is a huge film trading market, so there are many programs for promotion during the film festival.

These program catalogs only exist for the ten days that the festival is held, and half of the content is introduction, review, and service to the film festival.

The other half of the content is purely advertising.

After all, the media also has to pay attention.

Movies that are not short of money, such as"Peace Wheel","One Step Away","Tomb Raiders", and"Journey to the West: Three Fighting Bone Demons", directly spend money to appear on the covers of these exhibition magazines for promotion.

As for low-budget movies, due to lack of funds, they can only stare at them.

Among all the catalogs,"Screen", the official catalog of the Cannes Film Festival, is the most authoritative and the most difficult to get.

It’s not just about throwing money at it, the movie itself must be of a very high standard.

The person who came to interview Lin Ran was Melissa, a blond French female reporter who looked very good.

"Lin, the Cannes Film Festival has only started for 4 days. I heard that your short film"The Tuner" has sold the rights to more than 30 countries for a total of 1.5 million US dollars?"

Melissa asked.

Lin Ran nodded:"Yes, to be exact, it's copyright in 38 countries, with a transaction volume of US$1.52 million. Melissa:"

As far as I know, short films are not popular in the market. Why is"The Tuner" so popular?"

"The reason is simple. The content of"The Tuner" is very exciting. It talks about……"

"After listening to your introduction, it seems very interesting and I want to read it. Melissa complimented her verbally, and then continued to ask:"I heard that"The Tuner" is your graduation work?"

"Yes, I am a student in the directing department. I will graduate in June this year, and the condition for graduation is to shoot a short film."

Melissa:"You are very good. One of your graduation works was shortlisted for the competition section of the Cannes Film Festival. Are you confident about winning the award next?"

"Of course I hope to win the award, but it's not something I can decide."

Lin Ran shrugged.

The interview only lasted for more than ten minutes and ended.

Melissa:"Lin, thank you for accepting my interview. The interview content will be published tomorrow, so you can pay attention to it then.……"

"Okay, I will definitely watch it."

Melissa smiled and nodded, and then left.

Lin Ran waved his fist excitedly. With the promotion of the film festival's official program,"The Tuner" will attract the attention of more film producers.

In the afternoon After closing at six o'clock, Lin Ran immediately returned to the hotel, changed into formal clothes, and rushed to the Majestic Hotel. Tonight

, a"Chinese Night" movie event will be held on the beach outside the Majestic Hotel.

The night is organized by the Film Channel Program Center to build a communication platform for Chinese and foreign filmmakers and promote domestic films.

The event is of a very high standard, and naturally many leaders will attend, as will a large number of Chinese and foreign stars who come to the Cannes Film Festival. Lin

Ran was the only domestic director shortlisted for the competition this year, so he was also invited.

When he arrived at the Majestic Hotel, he took a quick look and saw the famous hosts Yang Nan, Dou Xiao, Zhang Liangying and Huang Xiaoming. Baby, as well as film industry tycoons Yu Dong and Jin Qiaoqiao, as well as several foreigners, the most famous of whom is Jean-Jacques Annaud, the director of"Wolf Totem".

To be honest, whether it is in the past life or in this life. , Lin Ran and this group of people don't know each other.

Even though he is the only domestic director shortlisted for the Cannes competition, in the eyes of these famous stars,

"The Tuner" is just a short film.!

If you go there rashly, you will probably get a blank look.

There is no way around it. The entertainment industry is a very snobbish industry. Although the celebrities are all glamorous in front of others, there are not many of them with high quality.

It would be a bit awkward to stand here alone.

After thinking about it, Lin Ran walked towards Yang Nan.

"Hello Sister Nan, I am your fan and I really like the program you host."

"Thank you for your like, you are……"

Yang Nan looked at the unfamiliar Lin Ran and asked

"I am new director Lin Ran……"

"Oh, you are Lin Ran, the only person from our country who has been shortlisted for the Cannes competition this year."

Before Lin Ran finished the introduction, Yang Nan reacted.

As the host of the movie night event, she naturally read the information in advance.

"You are Lin Ran from Nortel's directing department. You are truly a talented person.

Strive to win the grand prize and give our domestic films a boost."

At this time, a woman in her forties said with a smile.

Yang Nan introduced:"Lin Ran, this is Director Jia Qi of the Movie Channel Program Center"

"Thank you, Director Jia, for your encouragement."

Lin Ran thanked him with a smile.

Seeing that Lin Ran was not pretentious because he was shortlisted for Cannes, but looked humble, Jia Qi had a good impression of him.

"Our domestic films are developing at a rapid pace and need fresh blood the most. Xiao Lin, let me introduce you to a big shot in the industry. After saying that

, she took Lin Ran towards Yu Dong.

"Lao Yu, let me introduce you to someone."

Jia Qi pointed at Lin Ran and praised:"This young man's name is Lin Ran. He is a top student in Nortel's directing department.

His graduation film"The Tuner" this year is the only domestic film shortlisted for Cannes competition this year. Maybe you can collaborate in the future"

"Director Xiao Lin is very handsome. If he wasn't a director, I would have thought he was an actor."

Yu Dong looked at Lin Ran a few times and said with a smile.

"Mr. Yu, you deserve the award. The most important thing for a man is his talent, and his appearance is only secondary."

"Haha, that’s right.

Yu Dong laughed and said,"Director Xiaolin, if you have a good script, you can ask me to invest in it.""

"Thank you, Mr. Yu. If I need investment for my next movie, I will definitely contact you first."

Lin Ran smiled and nodded.

Yu Dong, the boss of Bona Pictures.

In his previous life, blockbusters such as"Operation Mekong","Operation Red Sea","Heroes of Fire" and"Captain of China" were all controlled by Bona.

Yes. He said that after Hua Yizuo's death, Bona Pictures had become a giant in the domestic private film and television industry.

After chatting for a few more words, Lin Ran separated from them.

A few minutes later, another guest arrived, Lin Ran. When he turned around, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The person who came was actually the goddess Yaya from his previous life.
