Chapter 260: Highest boundary

Arriving in Cannes, Ronan first met with Gabriel, the head of the French office of Embassy Pictures, and introduced him to the DreamWorks Animation Studio team headed by Jeff Kasenberg to assist in "Shrek "Promotion and promotion during the Cannes Film Festival.
"Shrek" will have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival and then be released in North America.
Because it involves the competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival, this premiere is managed by DreamWorks Animation Studios.
Ronan specifically asked people to find a list of films participating in the competition and screening of this year's Cannes Film Festival, in order to find films as valuable as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Not to mention, there are really familiar movies.
The opening film of this year's Cannes Film Festival is "Moulin Rouge", which can be said to be the pinnacle of Nicole Kidman's appearance and figure.
But Ronan has no idea about this film. On the one hand, the producer has signed a contract with Twentieth Century Fox. On the other hand, his friendship with Tom Cruise is not suitable for publishing a movie starring Nicole Kidman. .
However, on the opening day of the Cannes Film Festival, Ronan went to participate in the opening ceremony and watched the opening film by the way.
I vaguely remember that "Moulin Rouge" was the first Hollywood movie to premiere in the East.
Ronan met an old acquaintance at the premiere, and Sony Entertainment's director of filming Chris also came to Cannes.
"Are there any promising films?" Chris asked directly.
Ronan pointed to the poster hanging in front of the Palais des Festivals, on which Nicole Kidman was glamorous, and said: "I am very optimistic about this "Moulin Rouge", but unfortunately this is a 20th century Fox film. "
Chris looked up at the poster and said: "The test screening of this film is said to be very well received."
The red carpet under the Palais des Festivals burst into waves. Nicole Kidman stepped onto the red carpet. It seemed that after leaving Tom Cruise, the Australian actress really found herself.
Ronan greeted Chris: "Let's go, let's go in."
Chris-nodded: "This is not where we play."
Both of them are characters hiding behind the scenes, even if they walked on the red carpet, few fans knew them.
Ronan went up the steps of the Festival Palace, and looked at the judges standing near the main entrance. He didn't know anyone except Yang Dechang.
It is estimated that most of them are people from Europe or small film countries.
Entering the theater, Chris looked at the large poster of Nicole Kidman in the theater and said: "It is said that in order to prove himself, Nicole Kidman is going to use this film to hit next year's Oscar for Best Actress."
"This role?" Ronan shook his head straight: "It's impossible to succeed."
Chris looked at Ronan: "Why?"
Ronan said lightly: "The old men in the academy, will a well-known actress win the prize beautifully?"
"That's right." Chris agreed.
The film "Moulin Rouge" is full of commercial flavor, and it is still a nostalgic musical, not without a market.
There will even be a short-lived revival of musicals in Hollywood.
Frankly speaking, Nicole Kidman of this period is really very beautiful, in stark contrast with that stiff face later.
Except for this "Moulin Rouge" and the long-awaited goal "Irrevocable", Ronan did not see a film that would make memorable again.
Perhaps "Piano Teacher" can be counted as one, and Isabel Huppert's film can be of a scale.
Aunt Yu not only dared to get rid of it, but also always chose topics that touched the bottom line of social ethics.
No wonder so many people are respected as the goddess of art.
Ronan went to watch "Piano Teacher" before the premiere of "Shrek".
This film is very instructive!
The student seduce the female teacher, but the teacher was a pervert...
The story of this movie tells people deeply that the teacher-student relationship has no good results, so stay a little longer.
European directors seem to be particularly fond of and good at shooting such distorted films.
In fact, the stories of these themes are completely secretly cast, and should be handed over to Woodpecker or the San Fernando Valley company to shoot, to ensure that the shooting is artistic, action and romantic.
The scale of the three major European film festivals has always been very large, such as the 99-year film "Paula X", which is basically equivalent to the scale of adult education films, and the leading actors truly interpret the lives of men and women.
In the "Express Car of Desire" in 1996, the scene of the hero trying to use the thing to get into the wound of the heroine's thigh that had undergone a knife was extremely shocking.
In "The World of Senses" in the 1970s, the straightforward eroticism of the film was almost abnormal, and the actors came for real, and finally became regulars on various banned film lists.
Last year, Ronan heard about "Rough Me" but did not watch it. It is said that because of the forced drama to come true, the scale was too big for filming, and no actress was willing to take it. In the end, the director simply found two women to act protagonist.
Like Ronan's "The Life of Adele", which won Palme d'Or in his previous life, it can only be a trivial matter in front of these films.
The highest level of European art film directors for making art films has never been a large scale, but a real play.
In the words of the art school, on the one hand, it is to show a wider world, and on the other hand, it is to show the new ideas of film authors.
But it is undeniable that eroticism extends to movies, and it seems a bit over-excited: almost every year, one or two movies challenge the lower limit of shame for audiences around the world.
It is said that this all originated in the 70s, and it is also the pot of the Cannes Film Festival.
The 1974 Cannes Film Festival did not have any high-quality works, and the atmosphere was quite miserable and tragic. The organizers were quite unhappy: anyway, one of the three major European film festivals, should it be so bleak!
So in order to gain attention, I found a large wave of films, and simply organized an "erotic film exhibition": it was all thighs, buttocks and breasts, so that the audience and the media could see enough!
In May of that year, Palm Beach suddenly became a stage for third-class actresses to scratch their heads and show off their colors.
The Cannes Film Festival, too excited to find the north, has since been out of control on the road: a large number of films are exhibited every year.
A director once said, what is the use of 3D movie technology? Only when shooting this kind of artistic lens is it really useful.
The Cannes Film Festival has always pleased the audience with its qualities: to provide a stage for being fair and hooligan, as long as everyone is happy.
Not only the film scale is large, but also the publicity scale.
A Swedish film called "Derailed Again" participated in the screening. In order to attract attention, the filmmaker sent out a lot of almost naked blondes to assist in the promotion, and delivered ice cream to the buyers...
Films like "Shrek" must not use similar large-scale publicity methods. If they frighten the children, they will be self-defeating.
On May 12th, "Shrek" held its world premiere in Cannes. Compared with other films in competition, this film is definitely a clean stream.
The premiere was all organized by the DreamWorks Animation Studio. Although Embassy Pictures is the overseas distributor of "Shrek", the screenings during the festival have no direct relationship with Embassy Pictures.
The box office revenue generated by the screening of films like screenings and competition units is all owned by the festival and has nothing to do with the producers and distributors.
Compared with "Piano Teacher", the premiere of "Shrek" is very large, but the audience is not too large, and there are still many seats in the Festival Palace.
From the perspective of the audience, Ronan analyzed a little, and there may be reasons for this.
Many viewers come to the Cannes Film Festival admiringly, just to enjoy the feeling of watching a small pornographic film legally with hundreds of thousands of people in the public. Animation films can be watched at any time in the future, and large-scale films may turn back. It becomes a banned film worldwide.
There are some films that I missed the opportunity to watch.
Films like "Shrek" have no possibility of being banned.
Of course, everyone knows very well that "Shrek" came to the Cannes Film Festival to promote it, and it is impossible for the jury to award this film.
Ronan asked Embassy Pictures to come forward and invited many overseas media reporters at the Cannes Film Festival. The news reports sent by these people from Cannes can all promote Shrek.
Moreover, don't worry too much about negative word-of-mouth issues, Ronan is very confident in this subversive film.
The best part of this film is that it not only absorbed Disney's classic model, but also made a huge kind joke with this model.
In the past, Disney's films can be summarized as the law of "Prince saves the princess in trouble, the two fall in love at first sight, and finally grow old together".
Needless to say, the prince and princess are kind-hearted, and more importantly, they are handsome men and beautiful women.
However, most people in the world are unremarkable, with neither celebrity faces nor athlete figures. Are they just worthy of being Cinderella’s sister or stepmother?
This aspect also fits the audience's psychology.
In addition, the computer technology of DreamWorks Animation Studio has also made breakthroughs, making the picture quality far ahead of the previous few animated feature films~EbookFREE.me~ When the film was screened, there was constant laughter in the theater and the atmosphere was extremely happy, even Ronan This person who had seen it many times in his previous life couldn't help but laugh several times.
At the end of the screening, there was extremely warm applause, and the applause lasted for at least five minutes.
DreamWorks Animation Studio is about to become a big winner in the animation film industry, completely establishing the status of Hollywood's leading animation studio.
Jeff Katzenberg is going to be the winner of life again.
The winner is also the talking donkey in the movie, who has achieved the awesome achievement of "Yuelong".
After the premiere of "Shrek", the media and audiences almost praised it.
"The story is wonderful, the subject matter is novel, it breaks the conventions of fairy tales, and it is a cartoon suitable for all ages."
This good reputation is also conducive to the overseas distribution of Embassy Pictures.
