Chapter 864 It turned out to be the opening film!
"Great! I'm looking forward to this work #lotr"
"I'm watching "The Da Vinci Code" for the second time, and I can't get tired of watching it!"
"Is it finally coming? Please tell me the specific time."
"It's hard to imagine what kind of work he would write, hoping it would make me explode."
"I need more news about him!"
Fans from different countries were blown up, and even if their native language was not English, they could read and speak more or less.
Of course, there are also many people protesting why they only speak English and Chinese without considering the feelings of other language users.
"To be honest, I can only understand a little bit of English. Let me read an English novel, I would rather die!"
"When will it be translated into French? I want to read the French version."
"I was a little disappointed, and I thought he would have made all these important language versions at the same time."
"That's great. I've been studying English for six years just to be now!"
This is a book, and it does not use English dialogue like a movie. Just put a subtitle in Korean, Japanese, or Spanish.
There are so many words that the translator needs to complete slowly.
Even the movie's subtitles have been prepared for a long time.
No matter what, the warm-up of the new book has begun. Just wait for Zhang Chu to hand over the final version of the work!
...
Time flies very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, one-third of April has passed.
When Zhang Chu carefully browsed the 300,000 words of "The Lord of the Rings" again, he felt quite good.
"Almost all the places that can be modified and those that need to be modified and polished have been tried. Next, I have to find someone to try it out. Can a few cobblers beat Zhuge Liang!"
Now that he has not spread the news that the Lord of the Rings has finished, there are only a few people in the world who are mastering the progress.
Zhang Chu wrote down the names of several people with a notebook. He silently said, "The trial reading must be kept confidential. Although the last trial reading was also confidential, he finally went directly to the lecture hall, which was really a bit of a big mobilization."
So this time, he decided to choose only among the few people he was closest to!
Even Gu Xinxue can't get the trial book because this person is far away from the South China Island.
If the electronic version is handed over to Gu Xinxue, it is very likely that the entire editorial department of Nanhai Publishing Company will know about this.
"It's just about to move to the Siheyuan, and a super-small reading party is held there."
The decoration of the Siheyuan was actually done very early because the main body was kept unchanged, and only adjustments were made in terms of walls, lighting and furniture, which were very fast and efficient.
It just so happened that tomorrow is the auspicious day that Zhang Chu calculated using Feng Shui knowledge. He didn't even have to bring his clothes, so he could just go there!
The house here is not idle, and occasionally Zhang Chu will come to live there for two days.
Everything there is new, but Matcha needs to go there to adapt.
Rather than sending text messages or WeChat, Zhang Chu felt that in person invitations would be more formal and could meet his friends immediately and just speak up.
The afternoon class was about to begin, so he calmly packed his backpack and then closed the door and drove the car!
The audio book version of "In the Name of People" is being played in the car. Within two days after being criticized by readers, Hanlin Culture Media cooperated with Himalaya FM to launch this version.
Zhang Chu knew the plot well and even knew what lines he wanted to say next. After listening to a few sentences, he didn't want to listen again, so he switched the listening function to the radio function to see the real-time road conditions.
Just when he wanted to change to the traffic radio channel, he suddenly heard something closely related to him!
"The list of shortlists for the main competition unit of the 73rd Cannes Film Festival in 2020 is released. Director Xu Ji's work "Farewell My Concubine" is listed. In addition, master works from many countries from France, South Korea, Germany and the United States have been shortlisted. The competition in this main competition unit is fierce, and Director Xu has become the only Chinese-language film! "
The host was passionate about the news, while Zhang Chu murmured to himself: "It was finally announced, now at least it is stable."
"According to the interview with the Cannes Film Festival, the opening film of the festival on May 8 has been selected as "Farewell My Concubine". British movie star and Oscar winner Ralph Thomas serve as the chairman of the jury, and the remaining judges will be announced in the near future."
Not only did it enter the main competition unit, it even became the opening film!
For a film festival that has been held for more than 12 days, the opening and closing are the most eye-catching times.
For opening films, you usually choose the most important and topical works to take on, and the director needs to enjoy a high reputation in the industry.
And "Farewell My Concubine" fully meets this requirement!
Director Xu Ji once won the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival and has been shortlisted for two or three times since then. He is considered a direct descendant of Cannes.
After watching the movie, the organizing committee also has enough confidence in its quality, believing that it will definitely attract the love of the media, audience and film practitioners!
Another female host on the radio talked: "Director Xu Ji's "Farewell My Concubine" is adapted from the novel of the same name by Zhang Chu, a well-known writer, and starred by Zhang Guorong and other powerful actors. Mr. Shang Changrong is also the art director of Peking Opera. The whole movie tells the story of the two Peking Opera actors who have spanned decades of joy and sorrow. If you are interested in the content of the film, you can go and read the novel to learn more."
"Jingjing, it sounds like you know this work very well?"
"I have read the novel under the recommendation of a friend, and it is very well written, especially the two endings have their own merits. I don't know which ending was chosen in the movie version, which made me curious."
"Is that so? Can you briefly introduce to our audience what are the two endings?"
Zhang Chu silently turned off the on-board radio, and he knew that the current Internet should be full of excitement.
Every year, the Cannes Film Festival is a grand entertainment event!
Although there are very few actors or directors who have been nominated for it, there will be many celebrities and many works to go to the Cannes Film Festival to promote it. At that time, half of the Chinese entertainment industry seems to be there.
Who would have thought that "Farewell My Concubine" would become the only seedling of this year's Cannes Film Festival?
Not a master or an excellent video, I can't enter the main competition unit at all!
Here, 80 points are not enough, 85 points are not enough, you must be at the top!
If you want to break through the entire 18 main competition works, the advantages of "Farewell My Concubine" are not obvious.

The outbreak has been too fierce recently, and the inventory in the author's head feels like it has been emptied.
Next, we need to set up a detailed outline, otherwise we will pour the Pacific Ocean into the book.
