Chapter 161 A question!【23】

In fact, there are many actors in the industry like Hu Ge Wanqian who envy Gao Fei for being able to become a producer.

Especially the veteran actors who have been in the industry for a long time are the most jealous.

But it’s not that they don’t know this path, it’s just that they haven’t taken it yet.

For example, the movie "Apple" in which Gao Fei was previously invited was produced by Fan Bingbing himself.

However, due to many twists and turns regarding investment issues, the film has not been completed until now.

Of course, compared with Fan Bingbing, there is a better example.

That is Zhang Guoli, the emperor's professional accountant.

Zhang Guoli, who has been filming his own TV series for a long time, planned a movie project this year called "The 601st Call".

The movie is adapted from the popular event "600 Celebrities' Telephone Exposure Incident".

As for the cast, the popular actors Zhang Baizhi and Zhou Bisong were invited.

By the way, the male protagonist of this movie is Hu Ge.

Because it was his first time to be a film director, Lao Zhang felt a little unsure, so he invited his friend Feng Dagang to produce.

In addition, the film’s investment comes from Shanghai Film Group Corporation, so there is no problem in scheduling the film.

But even though he made all kinds of preparations, the movie only earned 9.8 million at the box office after it was released.

The final share that fell into Lao Zhang's hands was less than four million.

Based on this result, blood loss is an understatement.

It is said that Lao Zhang almost didn't end up in the hospital some time ago.

It can be said that this movie made Lao Zhang's work in vain these past few years.

It is precisely because of such examples that Gao Fei's colleagues are even more jealous of him.

…

Because everything is focused on the film festival right now, although Gao Fei has an idea in his mind, he still suppresses it for the time being.

According to the arrangements of the organizing committee, the screening of "Search" has been held on the 21st.

So after arranging his schedule, Gao Fei began to let himself go in the next few days.

Well, don’t think wrongly, it’s definitely not Monica Bellucci.

After all, this lady was busy watching a movie and had no time to talk to him.

As a qualified filmmaker, Gao Fei naturally appeared in the movie palace constantly.

But after watching a few movies, he found not many of them interesting.

Except for "The Wind Blows the Rice Waves" on the morning of the 19th and "Return" on the 20th, he fell asleep watching most of the others.

Then when he woke up, Liu Yifei beside him rolled his eyes crazily.

Who made him drool all over Liu Yifei's shoulders?

But then again, that movie "The Wind Blows the Rice Waves" is mainly about the history of Irish independence.

The general content is about a lonely and mischievous male security guard who met a fatal woman. So the woman took advantage of his gullibility and loyalty to serve herself.

The most interesting thing is that director Ken Loach is a native British man, and his ancestors have been British for eighteen generations.

So when director Ken Loach expressed his sympathy for Irish Republicans in the film, it quickly aroused considerable controversy in British society.

Many traditional media even angrily denounced him as a traitor.

But Ken Loach was not afraid at all.

After all, he is sixty years old this year, what kind of battle has he not seen?

Of course, Gao Fei is not interested in whether this old man is treasonous or not.

But his portrayal of minor characters in the movie benefited Gao Fei a lot.

In particular, some of his thoughts on the British lower society make this film very different from ordinary art films.

Because the old man is not just criticizing like other art film directors, he is also trying to answer his own questions.

For this alone, Gao Fei felt that this was already better than most art film directors.

The movie "Return" is an alternative comedy.

To be honest, being able to bring a comedy movie to the Cannes Film Festival is enough to illustrate Pedro Almodóvar's skills.

If not for this, he would not be praised as the "God of Iberian Cinema" by his own people.

And the movie "Return" was written and directed by Almodóvar.

At the Oscars that year, he relied on this unique trick to win a statuette for Best Original Screenplay.

But after watching Return, what Gao Fei admires the most is his skill in shooting scenes with women.

Because the six actresses in the movie "Return", in just 90 minutes, he actually showed their unique charm.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this ability to portray characters that "Return" caused a huge response at the film festival after it was screened.

The Cannes Film Festival catalog "Screen" even gave it an overall score of 3.6.

You should know that the full score is only 4 points.

However, no matter how everyone acted independently in the past, on the 21st, Gao Fei and his party came to the movie palace together.

Surrounded by a large number of media reporters, I walked on the red carpet again.

What surprised Gao Fei was that Wang Jiawei, Zhang Ziyi and Monica Bellucci showed up uninvited.

This made Gao Fei look at Wang Jing doubtfully.

After seeing Gao Fei's eyes, Wang Jing immediately shook his head tacitly.

Seeing this situation, Gao Fei became even more puzzled.

But having people come to support me is a good thing after all.

So Wang Jing, Ning Hao and others, after thanking each other, welcomed the three people in.

Originally, the popularity of the movie "Search" could only be considered normal, but when these people arrived together, many reporters and media quickly heard about it.

Some well-informed tourists are even more curious about "Search".

And when it was learned that "Search" was about the subject of online violence, it immediately attracted the attention of many movie lovers.

After all, so far, although many such incidents have been launched on the Internet, no director has ever made such a movie.

Young people who always like to chase new trends naturally began to flock to the "Search" screening room.

So soon, a long queue formed outside the screening room. A large number of young people were waiting outside with expectant faces.

Some reporters who didn't arrive late and didn't get a seat simply squeezed in with their press cards.

They would rather stand and watch a movie than miss the latest news.

Soon, as the big screen slowly lit up, a story about online violence began to slowly unfold...

…

It is said that although it is rare to see the phenomenon of giving up your seat to the elderly in Europe and the United States, there are actually some similarities between the East and the West regarding certain moral principles.

Just like on the Titanic, some young and strong men who adhered to the spirit of gentlemen insisted on letting the old, weak, women and children leave first, but in the end they sank to the bottom of the sea.

Of course, knowing is one thing and obeying is another.

In today's European and American world, no one pays attention to those outdated traditions. They prefer "democracy" and "freedom" to the spirit of gentleman.

Therefore, regarding the tradition of respecting the elderly and loving the young in movies, although they do not agree with this concept, they can understand it.

However, as the movie slowly unfolded, audiences from all over the world in the auditorium no longer bothered to worry about these differences in concepts.

When they saw that Ye Lanqiu's career and life were ruined because of a trivial matter that could not even be called a mistake, all the viewers could hardly help but feel a chill running down their backs.

Although some viewers often use the Internet, due to the different penetration levels in their respective countries, such incidents of online violence may not have occurred in their countries.

But at the same time it is not difficult for them to understand this phenomenon.

As the movie slowly unfolds, they know very well that something like this may also happen in their own country.

Because this has nothing to do with local traditions, it’s just about human nature!

Before watching this movie, almost everyone was enjoying the convenience brought by the Internet era.

But they never thought that through the Internet, the evil of human nature could be amplified to such an extent!

As the movie came to an end, Gao Fei quietly looked back.

He found that most of the angry-looking people in the audience were young people, and they seemed to be aggrieved by Ye Lanqiu's experience.
To be continued...
