Chapter 97: Finalized
"Well, isn't it by age? The five generations of directors are the academic school of the 80s of the last century. Xiao Taozi said, and then the fourth-generation director didn't say that he was afraid of the god of harmony.
"No, age is only one aspect, there is also the film style, the fifth generation of directors due to their own experience problems, resulting in their film style is very subjective and focuses on the bottom. Hu Ye knew better.
He said: "The seventh-generation director you are talking about, whether it is age or style, does not match Director Chu. ”
"Is that the eighth generation?" asked Momoko cautiously.
"How can there be any eighth-generation directors, do you think everyone is Director Chu, most new directors don't have the opportunity to shoot films at all, let alone representative characters. Hu Ye said: "Besides, these generations are all things made by the media, to be precise, every era has the mark of each era." ”
Little Peach whispered: "But many directors also call themselves ...... of a certain generation"
As he spoke, the directors themselves believed it. Hu Ye said: "Arrange the time, we will fly to Venice tomorrow." ”
Little Peach immediately said, "I'll go back and arrange it right away." ”
Hu Ye watched his assistant leave, and muttered: "Maybe he can surpass the achievements of the fifth generation of directors." ”
In contrast, the reporters of the People's Daily and the Global Times came much faster, and before Xiao Taozi and Hu Ye's team had set off, both teams of reporters had already arrived in Venice and made contact with Chu Shun.
It's all very polite, to be precise, although the person has arrived, but there is no me coming, you must be interviewed by the momentum, or after questioning.
Chu Shun was very curious when he found out, why didn't he ask in advance, in case he refused, wouldn't the two pairs of reporters come in vain?
In the end, Chu Shun agreed, who doesn't want to be on the "People's Daily", others may not want to, anyway, in the previous life, he wanted "People's Daily" to do an exclusive interview when he was rolling in the entertainment industry.
He has always been self-aware of himself, and he has a little achievement, so he thinks that everyone around him knows that Chu Shun is a layman.
"People's Daily" often criticizes a certain star by name, but that is negative, positive interviews, it is difficult for stars to be on, and it is easier for directors.
"It should be an interview with the supplement of the People's Daily, but I am the youngest winner of the Golden Lion Award, and I am still from a professional class, so to a certain extent, the meaning of the representative is different. Chu Shun basically deduced the beginning and the end.
As for why "People's Daily" does not directly publish an exclusive interview, what do you think, even Mo Yan became the first Chinese writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, and it was only an interview with a supplement.
The interview with the People's Daily was in the afternoon, while the Global Times was in the morning, and they were affiliated but managed by two groups of people, and the styles of the two newspapers were different.
In the morning interview, more attention was paid to digging up the story of what happened during the filming.
An exclusive reporter from the Global Times asked: "When interviewing Director Chu, I collected some information on the Internet, Director Chu, do you know some of your nicknames on the Internet?"
Nickname or something, of course Chu Shun knew, and said decisively: "Chu Shuai is still a male god?"
"Uh-" Good guy, the reporter who has been interviewing for several years was stunned for a few seconds, how did he pick it up, he didn't find out that there were these two nicknames, but you can't just say it.
So the reporter coughed twice and said: "That's right, but what I want to say are the other two nicknames, Chu Fei and Chu Liver Emperor, both say that you are a person with a liver on it, and the control of ten pairs of crew is not human, in addition, Teacher Sun Guangtai and Teacher Guan said in an exclusive interview that the crew with Director Chu will increase efficiency by at least 50%. ”
"Fifty percent is too much, I think it's 48 percent. Chu Shun felt that Chu Feiren's nickname was too unpleasant, could the person who took this nickname be an orphan abandoned by the name world?
can't show his bull breaking at all, but Emperor Chu Liver has a bit of taste, the last person who has the title of "Liver Emperor" is not called Mahatma Liver Emperor.
"Forty-eight percent is also exaggerated. The reporter asked: "Is there any difference between shooting in Syracuse and shooting in China?" or is there any interesting thing in shooting? ”
"Fun fact—well, there's one. Chu Shun said: "Actually, "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" is not the most satisfying gift I gave to Italy. ”
Indeed, in the eyes of aspiring directors, they will never be satisfied. The reporter subconsciously thought that it was pretending to be a coercion and started again, so he subconsciously answered.
Chu Shun waved his hand and said: "It's true, originally at the beginning of filming, I saw an abandoned movie theater in Syracuse, asked the locals, and the locals told them that there was a fire, I thought of a good story, I thought this movie was the best gift for my lover, and then because the details were not perfected." ”
"Waste cinema, Chu Shun thinks this story is better than "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily"?" The reporter is interested, big news, the film that won the Golden Lion Award and was highly appreciated by the jury is not the best.
"I can't say that the story is better, because it's all the stories I created, there is no high or low, I can only say that it is more suitable as a gift. Chu Shun replied.
"When does Director Chu plan to shoot this movie?" the reporter immediately asked.
"I don't have any plans to shoot at the moment, I need inspiration to make a film. "At present, there is no bubble system, and he can't control the lottery, how does he know when he can win.
The reporter heard that it was a pity, he still thought that he would shoot it next year and participate in the Venice International Film Festival again, maybe he could win the Golden Lion Award in a row, and no one in the history of the three major film festivals has won the highest award in a row.
Unlike the Global Times, the People's Daily interview first asked Chu Shun to formulate a topic and let Chu Shun freely talk about his views, which was more like writing a column.
The topic that Chu Shun proposed for himself is: Sui Film, a young filmmaker, a discussion of photography style.
A day was spent in the interview, two teams of reporters came from afar, and Chu Shun still had a dinner.
The next day, it was a pleasant meeting with Alfonso, who was a sixty-eight-year-old man.
After talking, Chu Shun learned that Alfonso is mainly for the David Award, as the highest film award in Italy, although the selection has not yet begun, and "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" has not been released, but Alfonso is also a member of the jury of the film festival.
In his opinion, the film is likely to be nominated for six David Awards: Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Sound, Best Original Music, and Best Editing.
As for why there is no Best Actress, it would be excessive, Marlena is beautiful and has hardly shown her acting skills.
The six nominations for foreign-directed films have never happened in the history of Italian cinema, and the more important thing is that these six nominations are all one person, and Alfonso certainly wants to meet Chu Shun.
Chu Shun didn't forget what Odia said, and said about the European release of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily".
Alfonso thought for a moment and said: "Cinecittà rarely distributes films, but there are distribution channels, since the film is a gift to us in Italy, I also give back a gift, Cinecittà only charges 14%, and the film can also share the box office normally." ”
Chu Shun was really generous when he heard this, because the domestic distributor is about the same price, which is equivalent to Chu Shun can get about 38%-40%, except for Hollywood, no film can get about 35% of the share in other countries.
For Hollywood films, it is only divided into the domestic market and the foreign market, and the domestic market is known to be the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and the foreign market is others.
To mention more, about 35 percent of Hollywood's international market does not include Huaxia, Huaxia Hollywood can only take about 25 percent, and China Film, as the distributor, must take 27 percent.
Getting back to the point, Alfonso also told that the four countries with the strongest distribution capacity are France, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands.
In addition, Greece, Argentina, Spain, Turkey, and Finland are much weaker.
Very good, on earth, this movie will be released in thirteen countries, there are nine countries here, plus Chu Shun asked Xiying to help with Asian distribution.
But don't think that Western Film's distribution ability is weak, even the movie with a strong meaning of "Let the Bullets Fly" can be released in seven countries including Asia, South Korea, island countries, and Thailand, with a total of 67.64 million overseas box office, and the account sharing has not yet come down.
Nine plus seven, more than the thirteen countries released in the previous life, the box office is not panicked, and the majority of the revenue of this movie is DVDs and peripheral photos.
Photo!
DVD!
Buy it home, do you know what I mean?
"I had to go to Hollywood and shoot two commercial films, and I remember right, Nolan's Inception was released in more than 60 countries around the world. Chu Shun put this matter on the agenda, as long as he can make money in Hollywood, Hollywood distributors don't care which country they are.
It's not that Chu Shun likes the United States, but mainly because he wants to earn a small amount of money from the United States.
Tinkering out of the "Matrix Series" and earning hundreds of millions, who else?!
"Anyway, can the lottery draw the Matrix. Chu Shun muttered.
"By the way, is the Matrix your aesthetic level?" Chu Shun asked in his heart.
System: [Movies that the host likes, I like both.] ]
"Wow, it moved me, and I was still very moved when I woke up. Chu Shun decided when to draw the Matrix and when to go to Hollywood.
I think so, but it's a pity that the plan can't catch up with the changes, this point will be discussed later, the European market will be released to solve it, Chu Shun directly found Yang Shun, before "Let the Bullets Fly" owed favors, and it was still a Golden Lion Award movie, so he agreed directly.
So, Chu Shun posted a Weibo:
[European premiere: September 16.]
Asian premiere (except China): September 21
China premiere time: tentative. ]
