"Palme d'Or?" Murphy shook his head, "How do I know who will win the award?"

Jonah Hill and James Franco ended the bickering, and Seth Rogan looked here, Murphy scratched his head, "I don't know who will win the award, I just know we will definitely not get the Palme d'Or."

The response to him was a few high-rise middle fingers.

"Scary Planet" is only screened and has not participated in the competition unit. How could it be related to the Palme d'Or?

"Before we came, didn't you attend several competition video exchange meetings with Erica?" Robert Downey Jr. did not give up. "Didn't you have a good work?"

After completing the relevant procedures, Murphy has indeed watched many internal exchange meetings for participating films, including David Cronenberg's "Butterfly Nightmare", Marco Bellocio's "Time of Faith", Jean Pierre Dane's "Son of Others".

These videos cannot be said to be excellent, but most of them are far from Murphy's aesthetic.

"Pianist..." Murphy finally gave an answer, "This is the smoothest plot movie I have seen in recent days, and the director is Roman Polansky. As long as the public publicity of the film company does not make any mistakes, I think the chance of getting the Palme d'Or is still very high."

"He?" Seth Rogan scratched the back of his head, "The Palme d'Or will be awarded a strong..."

"You are so naive! Seth!" Robert Downey Jr. pointed at him and sneered, "Do you think the film achievements have anything to do with these?"

Seth Logan was puzzled, "But his reputation is too bad..."

"None of these are the problems." Murphy took over the topic, "Don't say that this is France, one of Roman Polansky's motherland, even if "Pianist" and other North American awards seasons participate in the Oscar competition, I believe it is one of the popular films."

Others who have watched the video like Murphy have no way of judging whether what he said is true or false.

Robert Downey Jr. stayed in this circle for the longest time, and said in agreement, "If Roman Polansky participates in the Oscars, the past is nothing in Hollywood."

He reminded him, "Don't forget, he is a Jew! He is also a Jew who survived the Nazi concentration camp!"

Hearing this, several others shut their mouths. Although the people here had no connection with the Jewish clubs in Hollywood, everyone knew how powerful the Jewish power was in Hollywood.

It may be a bit exaggerated to say that these Jewish forces determine the fate of some people in Hollywood, but it is still easy to do things.

Especially when collectively targeting a person, the power it bursts out is really terrifying. Think about it, even a person like Roman Polansky who was publicly wanted by the US Department of Justice can be praised as the Oscar for Best Director.

Murphy couldn't afford to offend them, and he didn't want to provoke the biggest force in the Hollywood circle.

As the Cannes Film Festival kicked off, Murphy also began to prepare for the screening of "Scary Planet". In his spare time, he also went out to make a walk. Compared with the quiet seaside town before, Cannes is now in a hustle and bustle.

In addition to film factors, there are other reasons why the local government spends huge sums of money every year and tries its best to create hematopoietic film festivals.

During the film festival, celebrities, media, filmmakers, and even some ordinary people from all over the world will flock to the venue. These thousands of tourists can greatly promote the development of local tourism and other related industries such as hotels and catering, and have an unaffordable effect in increasing local attention.

The permanent population of Cannes is about 70,000, but it will attract at least 60,000 film professionals and 200,000 tourists during the film festival. Local hotels will be booked half a year ago, and the catering industry, tourism products, etc. can also benefit greatly from it.

Within 11 days of holding the film festival, the Cannes International Film Festival can create a direct economic value of 200 million euros and an indirect economic value of 700 million euros. During this period, 3,000 jobs will be created, and the returns will far exceed the cost. In just over 10 days, some merchants can earn enough money for a year.

Walking on the streets of Cannes, Murphy can see tourists from all over the world everywhere, and you can hear strange languages ​​that you don’t understand at all. There are the sounds of talking about movies everywhere. When you hear an excellent film released, you will flock like a wave.

No matter how the organizing committee makes money and blood, no matter the commercial elements hidden behind the film festival, Cannes now only belongs to movies, and this is a season completely occupied by movies!

Passing a theater, Murphy saw a long queue and stopped to watch it for a while. He learned that the new film "Irresistible" of Monica Bellucci was about to be screened. Because the film crew made a real and cruel relationship in which Monica Bellucci had a ten-minute drama that lasted for a long time, the film has attracted widespread attention in Cannes, and many fans want to take a look.

Just looking at the long queues in front of this theater, the promotion and marketing of this film is temporarily extremely successful.

Similarly, this also reflects the characteristics of Cannes' heavy taste.

Looking at the enthusiastic audience, Murphy hopes that "Scary Planet" can also attract such attention.

In fact, after signing a contract with a public relations company, "Horror Planet" began publicity in Cannes, and early played the naked poster of the heroine Jessica Chastan, and also arranged an exclusive interview for three starring Jessica Chastan, Robert Downey Jr. and James Franco.

Perhaps the zombie films are not very suitable for the tastes of the French and French media, and the effects caused by publicity were not very enthusiastic in Cannes.

On the contrary, the British media, separated from France, paid more attention to this video than how Monica Bellucci was forced to be raped.

Zombie films have a certain audience in the West, but the content and routines of zombie films are basically fixed, and only by playing new tricks can they truly attract people.

Before attracting audiences, the first thing the video needs to do is to attract buyers from distribution companies from all over the world.

In addition to the distribution rights of a few overseas markets that have been pre-sold, including Israel, the film festival agents who cooperated with Miramax have contacted a large number of overseas film companies. If the film wants to appear in more overseas markets to make money, it is very important whether it can attract these film companies.

Even Miramax wants to promote "Scary Planet" to as many overseas markets as possible, it still needs partners.

On the fourth day of the Cannes Film Festival, the world premiere of "Scary Planet" in Cannes kicked off.

Miramax has done a lot of work, and the premiere was arranged in the Lumiere Hall of the Film Festival Palace, the main venue of the festival. Due to a cooperation agreement with the film festival agent and public relations company early, with the efforts of the other party and Miramax, nearly 300 reporters from more than 100 media around the world appeared on the red carpet in front of the festival Palace.

Although it cannot be compared with popular films in competition units such as the opening ceremony and "Pianist", such premiere can also be ranked among the top rankings of this year's Cannes Film Festival.

According to the needs of publicity, Robert Downey Jr. and Jessica Chastain, the male and female protagonists, walked hand in hand on the red carpet and were responsible for showing off their charm; James Franko, Jonah Hill and Seth Logan moved forward together to promote the brotherhood between the stars; Murphy walked alone, using the contrast between age and director's identity to create topics; Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein brothers walked at the end to conquer the formation...

Compared to directors and producers, actors are actually attracting media attention, especially Robert Downey Jr. and Jessica Chastain.

Robert Downey Jr. is quite well-known. Jessica Chastain's long red hair, fair skin, and sexy figure are all eye-catching tools.

The camera lenses were also circling around them.

Of course, there are not many reporters and videographers who are eyeing Murphy. The light-off flashing makes his eyes a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, after "Saw", Murphy experienced such a situation. He was not the first brother in this regard. According to the instructions of Bill Roses and media agent Gris, he showed off his sunny and friendly smile and kept waving around.

But the fans around him were silent when they saw him, neither cheering nor ridicule, as if he was just an ordinary passerby.

Perhaps Murphy is a bit famous in North America, or maybe some movie fans know who he is and what kind of works he has directed, but in Cannes, across the Atlantic, these are not easy to use.

After all, he is still a director who has just made a name for himself, and it is normal that he has no reputation internationally.

While waving to the surroundings, Murphy walked to the high steps leading to Lumiere Hall on the Film Festival Palace. The people who had walked by the crew were basically waiting under the steps. There was a special interview area here. Some media reporters carefully selected by public relations companies have come over and are preparing to interview Murphy and the leading actors of the film.

The twenty-something reporters were divided into several groups, with the most people around Robert Downey Jr. and Jessica Chastain, followed by James Franko, Jonah Hill and Seth Logan, and the least reporters around the brothers Murphy and Weinstein.

This can also be regarded as a true portrayal of the focus of the entertainment industry.

In today's era, not many media are willing to make a big fuss about a director. The promotion and marketing of the film is more about actors or other topics.

The reporter who came to Murphy was like a routine, and his focus was not on him and "Horror Planet". The questions asked were more related to his age.

After all, this seems to be in its early twenties and the director who officially participated in the feature films at the Cannes Film Festival.

This is also the super new work of Miramax's main promotional point for Murphy by the 22-year-old genius director!
