Big director

Larry Crowe.Sting is the person in charge of purchasing films for the Cannes Film Festival at New Line Films. Since the opening of the film festival, he has been paying attention to the news of the films participating in the exhibition, so as to be able to preempt the possible acquisitions in the future. machine…

New Line Film Company was established in 1967 as an independent film production and distribution company. It officially entered the film production industry in 1979. It has developed along the way. After 1990, it has become the most widely influential independent film under the Seven. Publisher.In 1993, New Line was acquired by Warner, but because the president of New Line, Shea, still held a major stake in New Line after the company was acquired, and enjoyed the company's independent management rights, so although New Line already belongs to Time Warner Group , but its film business has nothing to do with other film companies within the group.

Larry Crow has a wealth of experience in buying films. Basically, what kind of film is the main route, do you want to make a lot of money, or do you want to use it to win awards?Will it succeed?As long as he has seen it, he can have a rough assessment.His most important achievement so far is that he single-handedly facilitated the purchase of the Hong Kong film "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" from Fox, which was not dared to release in the film library. It hurt for a long time.

Every year, I go to several important film festivals. For Larry Crowe, it is a very interesting trip to find the most valuable movies at the lowest possible price. People feel happy about it!

Because he will more or less know some inside information in advance, Larry Crowe already has several undecided targets before he comes - but he always tries to be more calm, after all, New Line is definitely not the only gold digger Well, when it comes to wealth and power, they are definitely not the strongest.This is a game. He competes with the film producers and competitors on vision and timing. If he is not careful, good things will be picked up by others, so this is by no means an easy job.

Perhaps because he had tasted the sweetness in Hong Kong (China) movies, Larry Crowe has always paid attention to the film works of this country.He knows that there are also two Chinese films in Cannes this year that are highly expected to win awards. One is the literary style "Like the Years". The director is Wang Sheng, who once won the best director award in Cannes. He is best at shooting some styles Delicate films, meticulously crafted, often a film can be shot for several years, he is a director with a very personal style.The other is "Devil Enters the Village", which is said to be a comedy film about the Japanese invasion of China during World War II, and it is said to be quite good.

Just now, Larry Crow went to see the "Time Like Water" first.

Sure enough, it is Wang Sheng's style, and the story is like a stream flowing quietly, narrating it eloquently.Larry Crowe regrets that he only knows a little Cantonese. If he is Chinese, he will definitely have more resonance with this story.But even so, he is still full of interest in this film. A good story will not be overshadowed by cultural barriers. If possible, he would like to fight for the North American distribution rights of this film.

After writing down a few lines in the small notebook that he carried, Larry Claw went out to find a restaurant to have something to eat, drank two cups of coffee to calm down his energy, and was ready to make persistent efforts.Which one is better to choose next?

He strolled there, and then he seemed to see an acquaintance.

Well, it's the famous film critic Larmor.Dan.

This is quite a maverick guy, and he has written reviews for New Line movies, both good and bad, but Larry Crow appreciates him, unlike those film critics who accept all kinds of PR for profit , Larmor.Dan is quite ethical, good is good and bad is bad.Maybe it's the massive amount of movies that have fueled his appetite. Larry Crowe always feels that he is more picky than himself in choosing movies, with a vicious vision and a sharp writing style, which is quite difficult to please.

Because I have dealt with several times, Larry Crowe and Lamore.Dan is still familiar with him. He wanted to say hello to the other party, but what he didn't expect was that they didn't notice him at all!Just passing him by in such a hurry, as if he was in a hurry to catch up with something.Larry Claw raised his hands, but at this moment he could only touch his nose in embarrassment, and put his hands down embarrassingly.

He was a little curious.

At this time, here, let La Moore.What else could a cinephile like Dan get excited about?

Of course it could only be a movie!

Thinking of this, Larry Crowe didn't try his luck anymore, he turned around decisively and followed Lamor.Dan behind.I want to see what treasure he picked up!

A bit like a treasure digger following a treasure hunting mouse, Larry Crowe's blood is boiling, his eyes are shining, full of the inevitable focus!

After turning three corners in total, the two people in tandem stopped at the door of a medium-sized venue.

Larry Crowe followed Larmore.Dan took a good look at the poster hanging by the door, Larmor.Dan had probably already seen it, so he just took a few casual glances and went right in.Seeing that he had found the place, Larry Crowe didn't need to pay attention to the hard-working guide any more. He stayed there and took a good look at the movie poster—only through this, he raised more expectations. up.

At this time, there were five or six people who stopped there with him to admire the poster. After 5 minutes, only two of them entered the arena with him, and the rest immediately dispersed.

Sitting in the dimly lit venue, Larry Crowe played with the 3D glasses in his hand, just like Larmore once.Like Dan, he also had a bit of a sense of irony, but it was better because of Larmor.With Dan being so positive, this Chinese movie must have something to offer!

Yes, Chinese movies, now Larry Claw can't help but wonder if he has any fate with this country.Inexplicably, he had a premonition that perhaps another glory in his career would come from this movie.

They waited for about 10 minutes. During this time, some impatient people got up and walked away, and new audiences came in. When the movie opened, Larry Crowe glanced at the whole scene. It is roughly estimated that there are about one hundred spectators in total.

Pretty good for an obscure film.

Larry Crowe guessed that there should be credit for the subject matter of the movie. After all, according to the taste of ordinary audiences, sci-fi and horror movies are always much more interesting than those obscure and inexplicable movies.This is the exact opposite of what the judges tasted.

Putting on the glasses, he began to devote himself to the movie with all his heart.

The short paragraph in front should be the logo of the production company. I have never heard of it, but the design is very good. Larry Crow looked at this paragraph with appreciation.

When the movie officially started, Larry Crowe lost his composure and opened his mouth!He opened his eyes wide in a daze, staring at the screen until a lot of physiological tears were brewing inside, then he couldn't help blinking a few times, and he silently mouthed a few words - "ohmygod"!

He maintained this feeling of seeing God until the end of the movie.

There was still a burst of warm applause, and some people were whistling and yelling words like 'cool'. Although the audience at the Cannes Film Festival was far less enthusiastic than the audience at the Toronto Film Festival, they always liked the film they liked. No stingy applause, especially this is such an 'alternative' movie!

The noisy movement woke up Larry Crowe. He stood up abruptly. Because he got up too fast, his raised knee hit the armrest of the seat next to him. The sudden soreness made him almost scream out, but in the end he still endured Living.Larry Claw began to look around purposefully, he wanted to find out who was the director or producer of this film, in short, he was eager to know who owned the copyright of this film, and he couldn't wait to go Negotiated with the other party!

time!The most precious time difference!This determines whether he can buy the mining right of this gold mine at a relatively low price!I don't know how many meat-hungry wolves are staring at him nearby. If someone else snatches this piece of fat that he is looking forward to, he will definitely be overwhelmed with pain!

But no matter how hard he searched, he still couldn't find anyone from the crew, let alone the producer or director, not even the actors!

What he didn't know was that everyone in the crew was dragged by the director to eat seafood spicy hot pot. They were so happy to eat that everyone drank heavily and ate meat. From the director to the actors, everyone was flushed and drunk. It's very likely that they won't be able to do it today. Appeared.

Larry Crowe hesitated for a while, and finally he turned towards Lamore.Dan's direction went.

Larmor.Dan is a film critic, and he is not a film company colleague that he should be taboo, so appearing in front of him will hardly cause any trouble.Based on the analysis of his reaction when he came just now, this guy has probably already seen it once, so he must know more about this strange crew than himself, so it is better to ask him for advice first.

Larmor.Dan was patted on the shoulder, and when he turned around and found that it was Larry Crowe, a clear look appeared on his face.

This movie, as long as it finds out that its film company has no brains, it will definitely be eager to get it in the bag.

If there is any shortcoming in this movie, it is that the actors are all oriental, there is not even a European or American face, and everyone speaks Chinese-if this is an English-language Hollywood movie, its value Ten times more!

But even so, this is still a rich gold mine!

Larry Crow won't be the only one with vision, he's just lucky to have the upper hand.

It's a good idea for two old acquaintances who are not in direct competition to drink coffee together and chat while drinking.

On the other side, Director Zhu's crew that was being talked about finally ate and drank well. Everyone who was drunk supported the drunk, and with the enthusiastic help of the restaurant owner, they got into the car successfully. The car roared all the way, and they went to their respective places room, went to rest contentedly.

Director Zhu was the one who was completely drunk.

...Before crossing, Zhu Zimo's drinking capacity was not very good, and he was not very interested in drinking. He drank a couple of glasses occasionally, and they were all kinds of fruit wine with a soft taste and not much strength, sweet and sour, and beautiful. Put in a transparent crystal goblet, shake it a few times against the bright light, it can be said that what you drink is not only wine, but also feelings...

Knowing that he is not good at drinking, Zhu Zimo just tasted it. Because of his status, no one dared to drink him, so he was always slightly drunk at most, and never drunk.

Now that he has time-traveled, this is the first time he drinks with his new body.

The reflex arc of the new body is a bit long...

Zhu Zimo drank a bottle of beer tentatively first, hey, he was sober, not drunk!It seems that he has the potential to stay drunk for a thousand cups!

So Zhu Zimo felt relieved and drank more freely.

The hot pot is very spicy, fragrant and enjoyable, and it is best served with cold beer!

Without paying attention, he got himself drunk...
