Chapter 243 Jia Zhangke (24)
The prices in Venice are really terrible!
It cost close to 800 euros for five people to eat!
The key is not to eat anything...
It's all about the simplest home cooking.
Kung Pao chicken, homemade tofu, the only hard dish is braised beef, the cheapest is rice, 2 euros a bowl...
Wang Qingqiang comforted: "It will be fine after our movie is shown tomorrow!"
"how to say?"
"After the films of the main competition unit are released, the creators can receive invitations to many film events, such as some big movie parties... After eating with them one by one, it's almost the closing ceremony..."
"Isn't there no trading link in Venice?"
"Then he wants to promote it...and he just doesn't have an official trading market..."
Venice is not for everyone.
Due to the small number of films in the official unit, the focus of attention of film critics and film buyers will be more concentrated.
But if a film can be released in Venice, Venice is an ideal platform, especially in terms of international sales!
Why is there no official trading market?
Because... Venice is so small!
There is no room for any trading market...
……
On the third day, September 9th, "Outstanding Citizen" was released...
Shen Xudong changed into his suit, but he didn't know how to wear a tie, so he went downstairs, and Cao Xiwen helped him tie it.
Seeing him, Liu Bei couldn't help but say: "...Your boy, if you don't become an actor, it's a waste of this face!"
"...The most important thing to be an actor is expressiveness, and I don't know anything about it!"
"When you grow up like you, what kind of expressive power do you need? You will be a handsome guy at the next stop! Don't you think so, Mr. Chen?"
Chen Daoming came over, just in time to see Liu Bei flirting with Shen Xudong: "Okay, don't talk about him, your face is blushing!"
"Really, you're actually blushing..."
Liu Bei seemed to have discovered some strange story, and stretched out her hand to feel Shen Xudong's face...
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Liu, Xi Wen, screenwriter Shen... Good morning."
Guan Hu also went downstairs...
"Director, morning!"
"Why isn't Jack here yet?"
"Yesterday was a bit chaotic, and today I don't know if it can continue smoothly!"
The film festival was originally carefully planned by the organizer, in order to match the itineraries of all American directors and stars, it was all scheduled for three days from the 2nd to the 4th, but because the schedule was too intensive, everyone felt that there was not enough time.
The time of the film screening was also delayed again and again, and it was not even started until midnight...
Moreover, the organizer was affected by the threat of an international terrorist organization threatening to wash Italy with blood, and specially strengthened the security inspection work, which delayed a lot of time.
In addition, a group of anti-globalization activists marched in Venice, shouting anti-US president, anti-Prime Minister Berlusconi and anti-NATO slogans everywhere...
And they're smart enough to show up to protest during movie screenings or press conferences...
It also took a lot of time to expel these people!
Marc Muller explained 'Many high-ranking Italian officials attended the premiere, gave speeches, extended the time! '
In fact, the famous Hollywood stars are too big, occupying too much aura, which affects the normal process. As a result, the Hollywood stars are not happy, the participants of the main competition unit are not happy, and the pressure on the organizing committee is doubled!
Wang Qingqiang came over, followed by several staff members: "Let's go,"
"Xiao Shen, why didn't I see you asking for an autograph?"
"I don't have any favorite filmmakers... I like Scarlett Johansson, but she's a judge..."
"Who is Scarlett Johansson?"
"... "
Well, the widow is only 20 years old this year, and her representative works are "The Horse Whisperer", "The Eight-legged Monster", "Lost in Translation" and "Girl with a Pearl Earring"...
Little fame.
She won't become famous until behind the elevator door, and then she plays the black widow...
However, as soon as the elevator goes up and down, it's over, buddy, it's pretty fast!
……
The screening of "Outstanding Citizen" went smoothly, there was no protest parade...
It's normal, most people don't take this movie seriously!
No director, no actor...
It's like no one cares...
Since no one pays attention to it, and there are relatively few media reports, why should we focus on such a movie?
Shen Xudong even felt that those film critics who were queuing up to watch the movie were just taking a casual look...
On the contrary, Jia Zhangke was very enthusiastic.
Lao Jia and Guan Hu also know each other, but they don't have much contact with each other. Guan Hu is a person who can see the situation more clearly. If I can't make a movie, I will make a TV series, or even a web series!
Jia Zhangke is rather stubborn, always paying attention to the 'marginal groups'...
Shen Xudong didn't really appreciate his techniques—dialects, long shots, and documentary, which Jia Zhangke had already become addicted to.The roughness and lack of embellishment of his films has also become another charm.
After "Xiao Wu", almost no progress has been seen!
Regardless of the script structure or shooting techniques, it is still the same set of things!
He's brilliant, but he's also unprofessional.
Especially after mastering the wealth code——French film critic Jean-Michel Fudon commented on Jia Zhangke's films: He aimed the camera at the invisible China, which is becoming an important part of society!
Pulling back, a group of people walked into the screening room...
……
Jia Zhangke's work is "The World"...
Shen Xudong knows this movie and has seen it, so he probably knows what the theme is: the world is big, but you and I are all trapped in a square inch.
Jia Zhangke wants to transform. In the movie "The World", although it can't be said that the old rural atmosphere has disappeared, it is basically gone...
The theme is good, but the execution is not enough...
There is a feeling of absurdity, the overall loss of control is serious, the long-shot scheduling overrides the story, and the show is serious.
To put it bluntly, it is pretentious, and the composition of the play is too big. Although the creativity is good, the effect presented is not satisfactory.
The whole movie falls apart, inexplicably…
He probably knew it himself...
Then I returned to what I was best at, told a story well, and filmed "The Good Man in Three Gorges"...
It is worth mentioning that in "The World", Zhao Tao wore Indian saris, stewardess uniforms, transparent raincoats, white thermal underwear, Japanese kimonos, wedding dresses, and military coats. This is definitely Jia Zhangke's fantasy collection...
Lao Jia is very curious about "Outstanding Citizen". First of all, the title, 'Citizen', is also 'Outstanding'!
The key is to pass the trial directly. I heard that there is no obstruction at all...
This…
he had to be curious;
Secondly, he has a good impression of Chen Daoming, after all, he is a big actor;
In addition, it is probably because he is very curious about Shen Xudong who has risen to fame-he knows that "Outstanding Citizen" is Shen Xudong's script.
A screenwriter who can write the script of "Lost Orphans" can also write the script of "No.
Now, actually came up with a script that was shortlisted for the film festival?
Is there really a genius?
With such doubts, he seriously appreciated "Outstanding Citizen"...
