"It's a vibrant and innovative film inside and out, where the flame of youth jumps and dies, and it's amazing how it seems to be here to stay. ”

"The truth of the story is skillfully explained near the end, and the narrative has an extremely sharp temperament. ”

"An extraordinary work of languid, sensuality, and a touch of humor, both protagonists are outstanding, and the gorgeous, pastel cinematography is also fascinating. ”

After the premiere of "Sunny Day", two more screenings were shown in the following days, which caused an enthusiastic response at the festival.

All kinds of interviews, seminars, and meetings followed, Xia Yu was responsible for sitting on the side and smirking, but Lao Jiang had reached the peak of his spirit, and his whole body was inexhaustible.

"The actor is only a teenager and has no acting experience, how did you create him?"

"I think it's a matter of course, depending on how you dig the ditch, if it's water, it will have the form of water, if it is molten steel, it will have the form of molten steel, if it is vinegar, it will have the form of vinegar.

When the ditch is dug and it rushes this way, something interesting will naturally come out. I don't think I created it, but I chose it, and Xia Yu himself has his own qualities. ”

Jiang Wen likes to use metaphors when speaking.

Xu Fei knows his style too well, he is free to play, and the meaning is reached.

"The film has been a big hit, how do you feel about it?"

"Well, I've been to film festivals before. We are always asked questions that have nothing to do with the film, such as politics, society, etc.

But this time it was different, whether it was a reporter or an audience, they all talked to me about the story in the movie, what happened to these children...... I feel so good, hey, I've always wanted to ask, do you understand?"

Xu Fei relayed it, and there was a chuckle at the bottom.

"Do you think we're stupid?"

"There's something I don't understand, it's pretty much the same as us. ”

"Do you know the background?" asked Teacher Xu.

"I participated in the May Storm Parade and carried the big cards of the people's teachers. ”

"I've read anthologies. ”

"Serve the people!"

A foreigner suddenly spat out these words in awkward Chinese.

Xu Fei laughed and clapped his hands, "Okay, thank you for coming, let's stop here today." ”

It was a small newsroom, and when the reporters dispersed, the two of them found another café.

Teacher Xu leaned back in his chair, felt the humid summer wind of Shuicheng, and said, "It's not bad, I will definitely stay." ”

"Well, I think I can take two or three. "Old ginger is floating.

"What do you think? It's nice to win one of the main awards. is like "Farewell My Concubine", just because the Palme d'Or has been selected first, some people don't want it to take the second one, and deliberately voted Leslie Cheung for Best Actress.

Are you really stupid to be a judge, you can't tell the difference between men and women?"

"Huh, dare to be tired everywhere?"

Jiang Wen followed Teacher Xu and could hear some gossip at home and abroad at any time.

"It should be said that where there is competition, there is no absolute fairness......"

Xu Fei stretched his waist lazily, saw a fat foreigner coming over, and said with a smile: "First time we met, this is my business card." ”

He took a look, the head of distribution of a certain European film company.

"We're very optimistic about the market for this film, can you talk about it?"

"We will stay for a few days after the closing ceremony. ”

"Oh, of course. ”

The fat foreigner didn't grind, turned around and left.

Xu Fei took out a business card holder, and casually plugged it, and a thick and small book was full of film dealers from all over the world.

Jiang Wen watched from the sidelines, although he hated this guy, he had to admit that he had learned a lot. For example, the next time he fools, he can come up with a better theory, not just a simple "treat to dinner".

You can also make foreigners' money!

............

In the blink of an eye, the closing ceremony came, and the group was retained.

Xia Yu finally put on the suit he wanted, and the cut fit was very good, but his youthful temperament was too earthy to wear it.

Jiang Wen is quite suitable, domineering and exposed. Teacher Xu is even better, do you think his success depends on strength? No, it is 99 percent handsome, plus 1 percent strength.

In the evening, several people came to the main venue in a courtesy car.

There are two more groups in front, waiting in the car for the time being. Xia Yu looked out the window, a long red carpet was rolled up the steps, guardrails were pulled on both sides, the police stood guard, and outside were shouting fans and media from all over the world.

His palms and feet were sweating, and he said, "This, this is the film festival?"

"If you want to make an event sacred, you have to give it a sense of ritual, and the red carpet is the most straightforward. ”

Xu Fei patted him and said with a smile: "If your legs are weak for a while, just follow me, don't be deliberate, walk naturally." ”

After waiting for a while, several people got out of the car and stood at the beginning of the red carpet.

Xu Fei estimated the distance from the previous group and said in a low voice: "Go!"

Xia Yu subconsciously stepped forward, and then was stabbed, "Turn around!"

Oooh!

It took him several adjustments before he walked like a human being. His legs were shaking, his teeth were trembling, and he didn't dare to turn his head at all, only to feel that the long spears and short cannons on both sides were like bayonets, coming to kill him at any time.

"Whoa!"

"Whoa!"

"Sunny Day" is very popular and has won a lot of cheers. It was easy to reach the end, and the president of the festival was waiting on the steps, with the solemn main venue gate behind him.

He is like a guide, divinely lit by the light.

Xia Yu unconsciously became solemn, shook hands with the other party one by one, and stepped into the hall.

......

"This year marks the 51st anniversary of the Venice Film Festival, and along the way, we have always adhered to the principle of putting art first, being inclusive, and giving more opportunities for young people from underdeveloped areas of cinema.

There are several amazing debut films emerging this year, and it's great to see that films have become more diverse, and the growth of generations of artists is the spirit of cinema......"

The judging panel led by David Lynch sat on the stage, and the chairman made an opening speech.

"The first award, the International Federation of Engineers Award, is presented below. ”

"Catholic Humanitarian Spirit Award. ”

"International League Art Film Awards. ”

After a few corner gadgets, entering the main play, "East Evil and West Poison" won the best cinematography, and the king of sunglasses was very disappointed.

"The winner of the special jury award is, "Natural Born Killer"!"

"Whoa!"

Director Oliver Stone got up, this gentleman is also the number one person in the rivers and lakes, "Field Platoon", "Born on July 4", "Nixon" and so on.

"Best Actress Award, María de Medello, 'Three Siblings'!"

followed Uma Thurman on stage, opened the envelope, and didn't talk much nonsense: "The winner of the best actor is, xiyu, "In the Heat of the Sun". ”

The pronunciation of foreigners is not standard, but the title is still known.

Jiang Wen was sincerely surprised, and the two big slaps slapped hard and hugged Xia Yu fiercely.

Xu Fei asked him to stand up a second ago, straighten out his clothes, and advised: "Don't be nervous, memorize according to the script, read it if you forget, no one laughs at it." ”

"I, I, not nervous, not nervous!"

The teenager was completely stiff and somehow got on stage.

Originally, he didn't come, but Jiang Wen received it on his behalf. At this moment, Xia Yu was staring at thousands of eyes, his head was empty, and he was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly touched the draft and stammered:

"Thank you, thank you to the organizing committee...... Thanks to Director Jiang Wen and everyone in the crew, I don't have any acting experience, and I am fortunate to have encountered such a work.

I think that's what the movie enlightened me, it's really a dream......"

Dou Shoufang is crazy with happiness, Chinese films have been too competitive in the past two years, "Farewell My Concubine" Palme d'Or, "Alive" Cannes Best Actor, and this is another Venice actor.

Whatever you say, this sense of identity is needed.

Geyu only has a certificate, Venice is different. Xia Yu stepped down with a trophy, this is called the Volpi Cup, which is bigger than his head, and is set up to commemorate a certain sage.

In the end, the Golden Lion Award was given to "Long Live Love", "The Rainstorm is Coming", and Double Yellow Eggs.

....................................

September, China Shadow.

Wu Mengchen was reading the newspaper.

A few days ago, China Film Company organized a film viewing party in Qingdao with a copy of the imported film "The End of the World". In the end, agreements were signed with five cities including Qingdao, Jinan, and Dongying to distribute the film and nine imported films in the future.

In other words, in the Qilu region, only these five cities can see imported films......

"The Outlaws" starred veteran Hollywood star Harrison Ford and cost a whopping $44 million to produce......"

Wu Mengchen entered the middle shadow, first straightened out the inside, and then sorted out the outside.

The most serious external debt is 90 million in arrears, and if you can't get it back, you won't have money to pay the studio's arrears, and if you don't have money to give, you won't be able to appease people's hearts.

The release of the document at the beginning of the year directly dismantled the new geographical monopoly. Now using imported films, Lao Wu plans to solve the problem of arrears in one fell swoop.

The director, vice president, and boss of China Film went to Qilu three times to negotiate to no avail, which naturally became a breakthrough.

Now that the municipal company has a lot of authority, if the domestic and imported films are played by themselves, then there is no need for the provincial company to exist.

"Knock knock!"

The assistant knocked on the door and came in and said, "Mr. Wu, the manager of Qilu Company is here again." ”

"How's the attitude?"

"Burn your ass. ”

"You just say that our agreement has been signed, and if you have any objections, go directly to Minister Tian. ”

"Okay. ”

The assistant went out, and Wu Mengchen drew a circle on the notebook again, and the circle said "Beijing" - this is the next breakthrough, and the second most in arrears.

He is ready to adopt someone's suggestion, convert the arrears into shares, attract theaters to engage in theaters, and take the opportunity to carry out new theater pilots.

But if you want to make the theater tempting, it has to be attractive enough.

"Hey, is Xiao Xu back?"

"Oh, good. ”

......

Office of Radio and Television.

The manager and deputy manager of Qilu Film Company made a review with a sad face.

"We are conservative in our thinking, we have not kept up with the direction of reform, and we have some misunderstandings with our brother units, and we must correct them. ”

"You have to help me talk about whether you can get Mr. Wu to withdraw the agreement, if this is signed, we won't have a piece to release. ”

Repeat these two points, one I know is wrong, and the other is that since I know it's wrong, you can't force it anymore.

"Don't think I'm talking ugly, you owe so much, and you still don't pay back the money, you can't say it in the first place. And I sent someone to make an unannounced visit, saying that you acquiesced in some theaters to release smuggled films.

Let's not talk about violating policies, how can we be so short-sighted? Because of small profits, we lose great righteousness! It's all like yours, when will the film market get up?"

"Yes, yes, you're right, now you have to help figure it out. ”

"China Film signed a contract, which cannot be changed, but it has not been wiped out, and there are still most of the cities. Since you have stated that you want to promote reform, then you will start immediately, and I will coordinate in the middle. ”

“......”

The two of them glanced at each other, which should be the best result at present.

Leader Tian sent the guests away, walked around the house twice, and picked up the phone: "Hey, is Xiao Xu back?"

"Well, tell me right away when you get back. ”

......

At the beginning of last year, there were breakthroughs in Shanghai and Jiangsu. This year's deepening reform has led to a breakthrough in Shandong and a breakthrough in Beijing, which is in the pipeline.

"The End of the World" has been screened for the first time in the five cities of Qilu, and will be fully pushed into the market, becoming the first Hollywood blockbuster introduced in China.

It is difficult to do it in Beijing, and the company's boss goes directly to China Film to shoot the table.

"You're violating local policy by doing this!"

"We are implementing the policy of the central government, are you big or are you big with the central government?" Wu Mengchen scolded.

Then he began to find city leaders and cultural mouths to meet in turn. At present, the city also thinks that the boss is too stupid, so he directly replaces him.

In this case, Xu Fei returned to China.

"Xia Yu, look here!"

"Jiang Wen, Jiang Wen!"

At the exit of the airport, a bunch of people were crowded, Xia Yu boasted that he had seen it abroad, and smiled calmly. The reporters are very excited, the young actor, XX background, Jiang Wen's debut, and the three major film festivals, the material is enough to eat for two months.

After coping with it for a while, several people got into the car.

Xia Yu held the funny grand trophy and grinned, still like he had experienced a dream. Xu Fei looked at him and asked, "Are you going to your father's side, or are you going back to Qingdao?"

“......”

The young man was stunned for a moment and said, "No, are you inactive?"

"No, I'll disperse today. ”

"Scattered?"

He scratched his head, "I'll go to my dad's place, this trophy ......"

"You keep the trophy, you should go back to school. If you want to engage in this industry in the future, you will take the art school seriously, and there may be opportunities for cooperation. ”

The boy instantly lowered his head and nodded sullenly.

"Old Jiang, what's wrong with you?"

"I have to see your plan, don't you have to publicize it?"

Jiang Wen learned to be treacherous, and he actually knew that he wanted to publicize it.

Historically, "Sunny Days" dragged on for a long time before it was released.

When he returned to China at that time, Jiang Wen organized two film viewing sessions and invited colleagues from all walks of life. There is a businessman named Wang Gang, who is not Zhongtang or Kuanyou Chef, but has the same name.

He pulled Lao Jiang to open a "Sunny" film company, but he opened it and didn't understand anything.

This film is Wenjun Investment, copyright in Hong Kong. Wen Jun asked a domestic company to publish it, and Jiang Wen said that we could do it ourselves, so he spent 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the copyright back.

At the same time, the film negatives were detained in Tokyo because of debts, and the mixed sound was detained in Germany because of debts.

Without negatives and mixed recordings, it was impossible to make changes to the regulations of the Film Bureau, so they raised money to repay the loan.

It was not officially released until September 1995, and because it was first released in Hong Kong, a large number of pirated copies were already circulating at that time, and even then it sold 50 million at the box office.

Now that the capitalists are opening the way, everything is not a problem.

Teacher Xu had a plan and said, "We will hold two viewing sessions and submit them for review at the same time." One invites people from the film, news, and cultural circles, and the other invites teachers and students from Nortel Chinese opera.

Build up word of mouth first.

The review over there will definitely put forward revisions, and I'll make a gimmick. ”

"What kind of gimmick can this be?"

"First release ambiguous news, saying that this film may be banned, and we will come out to refute the rumors. followed and then released the news and then refuted the rumors, just like pulling a rope, constantly teasing the audience's attention.

When it's almost over, I said that I passed the review and thanked the leadership. ”

"Is the Film Bureau capable?"

"Does he know that I did it? Besides, it just shows that they are progressive in their thinking and broad-minded, so why don't they do it? And then we will ...... specifically."

Xu Fei said this and this, and Jiang Wen was eye-opening.

I didn't lose unjustly, and the capitalists were shameless!

............

Asian Games Village, night.

The windows are open, and the cool September breeze blows in, and the dense potted bamboo brushes and brushes. Zhang Li was a little cold, got up and closed the window, teased the newly bought ornamental fish for a while, and then retracted to the sofa and continued to read.

At about eight o'clock, the door opened, and the other one got off work.

They returned home first.

Xiao Xu looked at the shoes at the door, and there was no one in the room, so he said strangely: "Where are the people?"

"Asleep. I didn't even get home when I came back, so I went to a meeting first, and I slept until now when I came back from the meeting. ”

"Jet lag?"

Xiao Xu took a look at the bedroom door and began to eat a plate of boiled dumplings served by Zhang Li.

They usually don't have much raw seafood, they are all commonplace, and they will wrap some dumplings and freeze them in case of emergency.

A plate of more than thirty, half full, she made a bowl of dumpling soup before she was barely happy, and took out the book from her bag: "Hey, look at this." ”

Zhang Li took it and saw that it was the magazine "Eating in Beijing".

The inside is full of pictures and texts, introducing the food of each street, and there are coupons in the bottom corner, which can be discounted by tearing it off to consume. Printed on the back: Huayi Brothers Advertising Company.

"Guess where this is released?"

Xiao Xu asked himself and answered, "This is a direct investment to embassies and high-end hotels." ”

"Ahh ”

"No, and this form is very Western, and it looks like it is made by connoisseurs. ”

She nodded "Brother Huayi" and affirmed: "It's not simple." If you are not afraid of competition, you are afraid that people have a hard relationship, and you can start a business by winning a government project. ”

"Yo, you're the boss of an 80 million company scared?"

"The turnover is 80 million. ”

Xiao Xu corrected, and he was proud again: "Anyway, I'll just move forward, our territory has already been drawn, it's called a media empire!"

She clenched her small fists and then rubbed her stomach, "I haven't eaten enough......"

"Thirty-six dumplings, enough for me to eat for a day. ”

"Uh-huh!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Oh, good sister!"

Xiao Xu hugged her neck and coquettishly, Zhang Li was helpless, "Okay, okay, fry some sweet potato slices for you?"

"Uh-huh. ”

So he ate again.

At nine o'clock, the two of them didn't turn on the TV, they nestled on the sofa to read a book, and listened to the chirp in the bedroom, and went to watch together.

It was pitch black, and a person shrunk in the quilt, still sleeping.

"Is it so sleepy? I think he's recuperating and getting ready to go to war. ”

"Well, every time he makes a big move, he rests like this. ”

“......”

The two of them stood at the door, watched quietly for a while, and gently closed the door.
