Chapter 152 The snub in Venice

The beautiful Italian water city of Venice has always been known as a paradise of art.

Amid people's eagerly anticipated eyes, the annual Venice International Film Festival, which is famous in the world film industry, finally officially kicked off here on August 30.

The audience is as enthusiastic as ever.

This film festival has a total of 62 films from 27 countries, shortlisted for the screenings of various major units. More than 2,000 domestic and foreign journalists flocked to the crowd, and countless ordinary film lovers, crowding the venue of the film festival, the small Lido Island, into pieces.

The expensive movie tickets cannot stop the enthusiasm of movie fans at all. Many people even came to the door early one hour before the movie was screened, which made people really surprised at the huge attraction of the movie to the public.

Recently, "Chinese style" is still popular.

In recent years, with the rise of the Chinese style of understanding, Chinese films have become an indispensable distinguished guest in major film festivals. At the last Venice Film Festival, Chinese films blew a big "Chinese style" on Lido Island. "Seven Swords", "If Love" and "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" were released at the same time. To commemorate the 100th birthday of Chinese films, the film festival also specially opened a Chinese film screening unit.

Although this year is the "Little New Year" of Chinese films, mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan have combined together, and 6 Chinese films have been selected for the screening of the main units. Even the Italian film "The Deserted Stars" tells the story that took place in China.

Not only that, in order to make up for the regret that there are no mainland Chinese films participating in this film festival, the honor of "surprise" films that are added to the competition unit at the last moment as usual every year.

It has just been confirmed that it belongs to mainland China, produced by Wang Meng and directed by Jia Zhangke.

It can be said that the reason why Wang Meng and Jia Zhangke have such rights to the last train is somewhat political.

However, the excellence of "The Good People in Three Gorges" is also inevitable.

As expected, in the competition unit participated in "The Good People in the Three Gorges", they competed for the Golden Lion Award for Best Picture.

Of course, Chinese films can shine in Venice, and Marco Muller, who served as the chairman of the Venice Film Festival for three consecutive times, also played a key role in the middle.

Muller is an absolute "Chinese fan". He studied in China for many years, was proficient in Chinese, loved Chinese culture, and was obsessed with Asian films, especially Chinese films, to a level of almost crazy.

This year, he was more impressed by the huge charm of Chinese culture than by the great charm of Chinese culture at the premiere of "Night Banquet".

This scene in this life also happened, and International Zhang greatly scanned his face for this.

After Wang Meng's "The Good Man in the Three Gorges", after being nominated and held the final competition, all Chinese film and television people who came to participate in the Venice International Film Festival came to congratulate him.

Including Feng Xiaogang, his opponent Chen Kexin of the last college film festival, International Zhang and International Fan and other big stars.

"Director Wang, is Director Jia confident?" Feng Xiaogang said that this time he came with "Night Banquet", and Venice has decided to "Night Banquet" as the first opening film on September 3.

"We have confidence, and the films participating in the Golden Lion Awards this year are not simple, so I can't say that." Wang Meng said modestly.

"It depends on the quality. I have watched your "Good People in Three Gorges", which is very good." Chen Kexin comforted.

"That's right, I believe that the Venice Organizing Committee will take it fairly." said International Zhang.

The International Zhang is at its peak at this moment. Wang Meng doesn't like that arrogant attitude. Perhaps only after the two "doors" and the boyfriend of "Waiguoren" will he restrain himself.

Just like Mr. Fan standing by and watching, Mr. Fan is much quieter at this moment. He just came to ride the red carpet. He didn't say anything and was polite to everyone. This is the mentality of the final counterattack.

"Do your best efforts. We can see it very easily if you get it, you will be lucky enough to lose it." Wang Meng sighed.

"It's ours, we can't take it away. It's not ours, we can't force it, take it slowly." Feng Xiaogang said.

Chen Kexin also said: "Actually, I like your wonderful ideas, such as "This Man". So, even if you don't get the award this time, as long as Director Wang has such a classic script, you will definitely succeed in the future."

Chen Kexin did not hide his love for science fiction, which was beyond Wang Meng's expectations. Didn't Chen Kexin loves literature and art the most?

Afterwards, everyone was very busy and left after chatting for a few words...

In fact, Wang Meng has been hit hard these days and has almost become famous in China before.

But when I got here I realized that it wasn't that bad, it's not a bad person.

Look at those big Hollywood stars and those popular movie stars, that's the popularity.

Although he and Jia Zhangke and others were shortlisted for the Golden Lion Awards, why would they not be able to defeat you?

I remember that when I walked the red carpet yesterday, he, Jia Zhangke and others walked on the red carpet, and the reporter had no idea who it was.

Fortunately, there were several Chinese journalists who greeted him with great relief.

Fortunately, the emcee said that the movie "These People" was shortlisted for the final prize.

In this way! The confused reporters hurriedly took a few photos.

It's so neglected that it's embarrassing.

I haven't felt this way for a long time. Since "This Man From Earth", Wang Meng's topic has always attracted attention.

Now if you think about it carefully, the road is still far away and it is not the best in China, let alone at such a large international film festival.

Therefore, Wang Meng did not want to be hit like this, so she decided to go back after attending Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet" premiere on September 3 and wait for the final prize on September 10th.

It’s not about glass heart, but finally I have a clear understanding, and it’s still far behind.

If you don’t talk about others, just look at Jackie Chan, you will know that in the same scene, the elder brother is very popular after appearing.

"Jack Chen" keeps calling, this is his goal, even surpassing.

For this reason, Wang Meng remembered Chen Kexin's words.

That sentence has a great influence on Wang Meng. He is famous for his science fiction. Recently, he has rarely gone on the path of science fiction. Looking back on his previous life, including this life.

The most influential film is still science fiction. Since I have so many classic science fiction movies from my previous lives, why not imitate them?

It seems that after "You, the Deskmate", I will move closer to science fiction, and at least I will have to take the title of "Chinese Science Fiction Master".

...

On September 4, Wang Meng and Zhang Lantian and Jia Zhangke made a clear explanation and returned to the Demon City.

At this moment, the shortlist of some Chinese-language films such as "The Good People in the Three Gorges" has begun to stir.

Wang Meng didn't expect that the news of her return to China was exposed. As a result, there were more than 50 reporters at the airport, which was better than the media records of the interviews Wang Meng encountered...
