Chapter 449: Talking about the Sixth Generation

Chapter 449: Six Generations of Laughter
Li Chen looked at the bustling crowd and the reporters who kept coming to join in the fun, and really didn't want to go in.

In restaurants where foreigners gather, you can't tell which is more pungent, the perfume or the body odor.

Jiang Wen is very high-profile; this is the kind of scene that a big director's commercial blockbuster should have.

The premiere of "Passengers" at the Film Palace was also packed.

South Korea's CJ, Japan's Toho, and France's largest distributor TF have all contacted Yang Siwei in the past two days.

They all expressed that they could sign contracts directly for "Passengers" and "The Lost Tomb".

Opposite is the Film Palace, and the huge poster of "Let the Bullets Fly" hanging on the facade of the restaurant is still very eye-catching.

Plus it was crowded, so it was naturally eye-catching.

"It's a pity that even if our domestic films are favored by overseas film producers, they can only dominate the domestic box office." Li Chen, Yang Siwei and Wu Bin walked into the restaurant.

Zhu Yilong and his companions came to Cannes for the first time and were invited by Luo Jin to watch "Beauty of Mistakes". Li Chen had heard about this from Tang Yan before.

The media also had a lot of imagination and were curious whether Luo Jin would be the fourth Chinese film emperor after Ge You, Liang Chaowei and Li Xuejian.

I simply ignored Wang Xueqi in Wang Xiaoshuai's "Rizhao Chongqing".

Jiang Wen's beard stood out in the crowd.

Surrounding them are film producers.

Jiang Wen was laughing happily: "Haha, I'm the director, I'm just in charge of making the film. If you want to buy the copyright, go find Ma Ke."

"Li Chen!" Jiang Wen saw Li Chen and the other two at a glance and waved with a smile.

The media and reporters immediately turned their attention to Li Chen.

The flash lights crackled like cannons.

Yang Siwei and Wu Bin automatically fell behind by half a step.

"Director Li is here." The reporter from Sina laughed the happiest.

"Director Li is here to support Director Jiang." The Sixth Princess also came.

"Director Li, MISS Yang, Miss Yang." Many film producers also recognized several people.

Especially Li Chen's hairstyle and Yang Siwei's strong body, they are so easy to recognize.

Yang Siwei was automatically surrounded by the film producers.

In recent years, Britain and France have been the top priorities for overseas voting bases.

Yang Siwei is very familiar with the two overseas distributors TF1 and MK2, as well as the film selectors of the three major companies.

"Whether Bullet is good or not, I don't need to tell you, you'll be able to see the trailer later."

"Li Chen is here too. You all know his style. He won't exaggerate, will he?"

"Listen to what he says." Jiang Wen enthusiastically moved Li Chen to his side.

"Brother, it's up to you." Jiang Wen whispered in Li Chen's ear while turning his head to the side.

This opening made things difficult for Li Chen.

"Bullet" is certainly a good movie, otherwise Li Chen would not have come to support Jiang Wen today.

But the overseas box office does not match the grand scene of today's gathering of film producers.

The global box office appeal of Chinese actors still depends on Cheng Long and Li Lianjie.

This is also the reason why Li Chen does not dare to use new domestic actors casually in some of the world's best-selling films.

Even if it's Miss Liu's "Inception", she would have to involve Leo, who changes his girlfriend every six months.

Everyone happily waited for Li Chen to give an answer.

"Director Li, Director Jiang, you are just being so rude. We only listen to you."

"Yes, Director Li, Director Jiang was able to trick Ge You and Fa Ge into coming here. We don't believe him."

A few reporters cheered in good faith.

Jiang Wen laughed out loud, not caring at all.

After everyone's laughter faded, Li Chen said, "Director Jiang is holding Bullet in his arms and it's almost fermented!"

"I have only had a glimpse of Director Jiang's Bullet so far."

Jiang Wen's heart sank, but he glanced at Li Chen without changing his smile: Li Chen won't sabotage me, will he?

The producer Marco standing by also became nervous.

"But even a glimpse of her was enough to astound me."

"You must send me a few more invitations to the premiere! I have a lot of friends, and we should enjoy a good movie together!" Jiang Wen was very proud and laughed: "No problem! It's a deal!"

"Remember to bring Yifei with you when the time comes!"

Li Chen laughed and cursed quietly: "You wish!"

Domestic reporters wrote furiously to record the jokes of the two great directors.

"That's nice, brother!" Jiang Wen hugged Li Chen affectionately and was extremely happy.

After the press conference, Jiang Wen held another beach party at the beach!

Markel, this old scoundrel, was holding Jiang Wen one moment and Li Chen the next, singing the poor version of "I Can't Live Without You".

Without foreigners, the domestic media was completely liberalized.

Seeing Jiang Wen and Li Chen sitting together and chatting happily, he came over and asked them what they thought about Wang Xiaoshuai's controversial remarks.

Jiang Wen and Li Chen looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"Two great directors, what are you laughing at?" The Sina reporter is considered one of us.

At the press conference, the domestic reporters were very tactful and only asked about "Bullets" without hitting anyone in the face.

Parties are different.

"Li Chen and I were just talking about this." Jiang Wen said casually.

He didn't even take Wang Xiaoshuai seriously.

Li Chen had no idea who Wang Xiaoshuai was.

"Oh? What did Director Li say?"

Li Chen said nonchalantly: "I admire the fifth generation of directors. Even the national master can step down from the altar. Why?"

"Because most of us don't complain without reason, no matter how much Wang Xiaoshuai enjoys his movies, it's just for his own amusement."

The reporters from Sina and China Film couldn't help laughing.

Director Li is still Director Li. Every time he opens his mouth, every word hits the mark.

"That's right! You are all here today, so don't put me in the corner of the sixth generation director anymore."

"Li Chen is absolutely right. They are just complaining without any reason!"

The interview took place at the beach. The atmosphere was extremely relaxed, but the content was extremely explosive.

"Director Jiang, are you implying Director Lu Chuan?" the Sohu reporter asked with a smile.

"Director Li, do you think you are a sixth-generation director?" The Sina reporter was not to be outdone.

Jiang Wen laughed: "I never imply anything. I just say what I want to say. You should ask Lu Chuan if he is considered a sixth-generation director."

Li Chen raised his glass and gently touched it with Jiang Wen's glass: "I should be considered a peerless director, right?"

Jiang Wen was delighted, nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "That's right, you are not old enough for the fifth generation, and there is no one as perverted as you in the sixth generation."

Everyone started chatting thoroughly.

It’s just a pity for Wang Xiaoshuai.

If you don't want to guard the last pure land for Chinese films, then don't come out and make commercial films that will embarrass yourself.

Li Chen and Jiang Wen didn't take this interview seriously at all.

However, this interview between the two directly triggered a hot search on Weibo.

"Jiang Wen does not admit that he is a sixth-generation director."

"Li Chen and Jiang Wen blasted Wang Xiaoshuai and other six generations of directors for moaning without reason!"

"Li Chen disdains to associate with the six generations of directors and calls himself the peerless director."

The enthusiasm of netizens is terrifying.

"Haha, Xiao Lizi and Jiang Wen are so cute. They were sitting by the sea drinking red wine and brought Wang Xiaoshuai and Lu Chuan with them."

"Leo and Jiang Wen are absolutely right. No one will say anything if you make your art films, but you are just asking for trouble by criticizing commercial films."

"When Jiang Wen was transitioning to a commercial film, you were trying to put pressure on him? Have you overlived your life? Lu Chuan's tears haven't dried yet!"

"I go to the cinema to relax, not to listen to your lectures!"

"Who dares to say that Cameron's Titanic is not artistic? Instead of thinking about how to get more people to go to the cinema to see your art, you think we are wrong to choose a commercial film!"
