Chapter 0420: The Venice Premiere of "Silence".
When Gotham's angry ended with the timeline, and Arthur the Clown finally became a clown, Ji Ming sighed, and a lot of concepts turned in his mind, such as this clown origin film is actually very flattering, which may be related to Todd Phillips's comedy background, different people can find their own logic in this film, billionaires and unemployed workers, successful people and losers, rebels and silent people...... Although the Joker is the protagonist, the film does not use it as a standard, good or bad, there is none, each party has its own position and actions, and the rest is left to the audience.
Ji Ming will think of "The God of Medicine", pharmaceutical factories and patients, each with their own opinions.
"Ah, I didn't expect that. The one-eyed wave reporter next to him had obviously begun to conceive of the draft, and sighed involuntarily, and then applauded together for a long time.
"Joker" is one of the most talked-about films of the year, and it was already the case before coming to Venice. Everyone knows a little bit about it, but after reading it, I'm afraid it's not exactly the same as what I imagined in advance. Ji Ming didn't meet this reporter, got up and left the screening room, and noticed that many people were preparing to watch the second show, but it was not easy to buy tickets, after all, it was a star work.
Looking at Ji Ming's back one by one, he always felt that this back was a little familiar.
She didn't continue to watch it a second time, as a one-eyed reporter, she has to watch almost all the competition films, of course, the attention is relatively low, and it's okay if you don't want to watch it, but films like "Joker", "Mo", and "Lanxin Theater" are absolutely to watch, so the workload is very large, and the general audience does not enjoy it as much.
"How's it going?" a colleague waited for her at the door, and the two were not in the same hall, so it was convenient to observe the audience's reaction.
I thought about it one by one: "A typical good movie, it should be seen from everyone's warm applause,"
"Ha," the colleague smiled, thinking that this evaluation is very good, whether it is from the subject matter, the direction of exploration, the performance mode, or the attitude of the whole movie, it is a very typical Hollywood masterpiece: "The degree of completion is very high, my reaction after watching the movie is very good, it seems to be about to explode, the important thing is to wash everyone's impression of comic books and hero movies, DC has made a comeback this time." ”
A little bit, I didn't talk much about it, anyway, I have to write a manuscript later, and the film "Joker" is going to write a special draft: "But Joaquin is definitely a popular actor." ”
"Ji Ming's rival?" Or is Ji Ming his rival?"
"Speaking of which, when I watched it just now, there was a handsome Italian guy sitting next to him, and his side face was super like Ji Ming, if it weren't for the accent being too Italian, I really thought it was him. It's worthy of being a country of handsome guys, just come to a fan, they're all so handsome, oops, tsk, you should add a connection. ”
One by one, he said with a special aftertaste, and found that his colleague's expression was strange: "What's wrong?"
"I met Ji Ming's agent just now, and after I asked a few words, she said that Ji Ming also came to watch the premiere. I scanned it when I entered the arena, but I didn't see him, in this case, he really could have a fight with you - as for Italian, Ji Ming's Italian ......"
Everyone knows that Ji Ming's Italian is very good, after all, he is a Chinese actor who has become popular in Italy, especially when he received the David Award for Best Foreign Actor, he also showed off his Italian.
"......" blinked one by one: "It must be him, no wonder he doesn't turn around when he speaks, it's not polite at all." ”
The two glanced at each other, alas, it's a pity, if you can hear a word from Ji Ming, this report is enough to make major headlines, Ji Ming commented on "Joker", the battle between the two would-be actors, it makes people shudder when they think about it.
Nothing.
"Get in touch, get in touch, see if you can do an interview. ”
"There will be a press conference later, and it will be okay to ask when the time comes, anyway, if he is willing to say, he will not avoid anyone, if he refuses to say, no one can force him. ”
"Yes. ”
……
There is no doubt that there are many benefits to embracing Hollywood, the biggest is the attention and influence - the media all over the world are paying attention to the premiere of "Joker", and the tide of applause and cheers has led this attention to positive influence, and the Venice organizing committee is quite happy.
Ji Ming also found that more and more people around him watched this movie.
"Is it really that good?" Taohong just went out to shoot a set of films, and when she was having dinner with everyone, she asked Ji Ming: "How is the acting?"
"That's good. That's Jaaquin Phoenix, uh...... Joaquin Phoenix?"
Peach gave him a white look: "I know, I'm not that old." ”
Joaquín is translated from Spanish, while Jaequin's translation is from English, the latter is a little more common nowadays, but Joaquín also uses it a lot in the professional world. This Hollywood actor is actually very legendary, and likes to play some bizarre roles, all kinds of psychopaths, distorted personalities, and black tones...... However, he has not won an Oscar yet, and "Joker" may have the potential to set a milestone for his more than 30 years of acting experience.
Ji Ming cut a piece of steak into his mouth and motioned for himself to shut up.
"I don't think Ming's performance in 'Mo' is inferior to him," Alice Lowach has obviously seen the movie, and she understands what Peach means, and if Jackie performs very well, of course he is a strong contender for Ji Ming: "Really, but the possibility of "Joker" winning the Golden Lion is very small, maybe there will be an actor? ”
Haha, laugh a lot.
It's a joke, of course, 22 films, and they're not that arrogant.
Alice stopped laughing: "But what I said is true, Jackie's performance is great, and he deserves any award." But his performance is completely different from Ji Ming's, Jackie's exploration of the characters is interactive, others bully him, society excludes him, dreams are shattered, and he is objectively sick, but his inner stress changes and reacts. And Ji Ming is much more simple and focused on character discovery, do you understand, Yang Ming constantly confronts his own reality in his own fantasy, and discovering his heart in this struggle, expressing it through dance is also an absolutely amazing way. These two good performances, I personally prefer Ji Ming, I don't think my aesthetics will be so different from the judges. ”
Yuan Quan nodded: "I also think Ji Ming's performance is nothing to be afraid of." ”
Ji Ming was eating on the side, listening to them casually discussing the actor like candy, and couldn't help sighing, but he made a wish first.
Yang Ruyi came over: "One-eyed Lang made an appointment for an interview, saying that he saw you in the screening room, and you lied to her." ”
"Haha," Ji Ming told everyone about it: "You still apologize to me, I guess I think I'm an Italian." Forget about the interview, it's nothing more than asking how you feel after watching "Joker", whether you have the confidence to win an award or something, it's not nutritious. ”
"Okay," Yang Ruyi nodded, if he really won the award, there would definitely be an interview later, and everyone had a tacit understanding, so it was okay to refuse.
After they have eaten and slept for a while, when they wake up the next day, they will feel the craze of "Joker", and the call for Jackie to win the actor has been so high that it is impossible to ignore, and the previous controversy about the finalists no longer exists at this time. The Chinese media reports that Tang Fan brought over were all kinds of "bursting", "the audience cheered" and "rave reviews".
Fox.com even called it "one of the most competitive candidates for best actor, Ji Ming's strongest opponent on the road to Venice", saying that ""Joker" was very well received in Venice, and almost everyone was enthusiastically discussing this previously controversial comic film, but after the premiere, everyone's excited faces have already told us what a successful work it is. The lead actor Joaquin Phoenix is also considered by observers to be the seeded player to win the actor crown. And Ji Ming, who was shortlisted for "Silence", was pinned on by the Chinese audience, but "Silence", which has not yet faced the audience, is obviously under great pressure at the moment, it wants to replicate the craze of "Joker", the difficulty can be imagined, maybe everything is not as optimistic as we imagined, Ji Ming, who was invincible before, can he continue his magic this time?"
Then Fox.com was scolded by Ji Ming's fans to the point of spraying blood.
"Are you sick, I'll ask you?"
"You don't have a good brain? Ji Ming is just one of the finalists, why did you bring him out? Did he say that he wanted to win the best actor?"
"Isn't it interesting to talk to yourself? You are the ones who say you want to win the actor without watching the movie, and now you are the ones who are not optimistic, your news is all created, right?"
"Fox Net is as stupid as ever. ”
"I don't think your IQ is optimistic. ”
Ji Ming's sunspots, as well as a few garbage marketing accounts, were mixed in, saying "If you don't say it, you think Ji Ming has won the actor" and "If you enter the circle, you will be treated as if you have won the award" - but no fans pay attention to them, and the fans are still very uniform.
Originally, Ji Ming's team was also very worried, there were too many fans, and a large number of new fans joined in every moment, which was really difficult to manage. As a result, they didn't expect that inertia, including the strength of fans, because of the constraints that have always been there, everyone is proud to abide by this constraint, and every fan is widely advertised as the "code" of Ji Ming's fans - after all, now the identity of Ji Ming's fans has become a very high one in the fan chain.
Before, for example, what Xingye fans, Andy fans, and Liang Yingdi fans all have heights, and as for fresh meat flow fans, they can only rely on combat effectiveness - Ji Ming fans are fans with both height and combat effectiveness, once a sense of superiority is formed, everyone wants to maintain it, and they don't want to lose their share.
As a result, until today, Ji Ming's huge fans can still maintain quite well, such as ignoring the marketing account and not engaging in swiping recommendations-it is the kind of topic that clicks into the topic, all of which are brushing achievements, brushing public welfare, and being the same, just like a pyramid scheme scene at a glance.
However, the media is not afraid of scolding, especially a lot of self-media that are just rotten.
So much so that when the Venice Film Festival entered its third day, Chinese netizens felt that the actor was the competition between Ji Ming and Jie Kun...... Also drunk.
……
On the morning of the 3rd, "Silence" premiered in Venice, and the red carpet was very lively.
"Lanxin Theater" fully helped, and Zhang Aijia, the voice of "Jiyuantai No. 7", also came, plus the creators of the Italian film "Martin Eden", who was also shortlisted for the main competition - they were invited by Alice Lowach. Of course, there are also "Mo's" own people, Ji Ming, Alice, Wen Yan, Taohong, and Yuanquan, all of whom are women, squeezing Ji Ming in the middle.
After the popularity of "Joker", it is not advisable to keep a low profile, and it is also irresponsible for the movie.
So on the red carpet, Ji Ming is also full of skills, and "Silence" also has local advantages as an Italian director's work, and the cheers on the red carpet are quite amazing, at least the hottest so far.
If you wait for the bad feedback of the movie, it will be an embarrassing stark contrast.
The one-eyed reporter thought of a paragraph for his manuscript: "Before the curtain was lifted on the film, the popularity and enthusiasm of "Mo" and Ji Ming in Italy were not inferior to the popular "Joker" Whether it is the screams and cheers on the red carpet, as well as those flashing shots, or the large reports in the local newspapers, this also gives us more expectations, for this film, but also for Ji Ming, as a Chinese journalist, I especially hope to see such a popular Chinese film and Chinese film can really conquer the audience in foreign countries in terms of quality. ”
Take a seat and wait for the movie to begin.
"Well, this director's shot is very ethereal. One by one, he commented on the opening shots: "Hey, what's the matter, it's a silent movie?"
In the first ten seconds, when Yang Ming, who had been asleep for five years, woke up, he was lying on the bed, and the camera pulled from the whole room to a large close-up of his face, and then watched him open his eyes and think...... There is no sound in such a paragraph, and the kind of sound track is cut off - "Silence" is certainly not a silent movie, Alice's treatment is just a hint of this awakening, and the underbeating of opening the fantasy world, it is like passing through a dark tunnel, and the signal only returns when it is drilled out of the tunnel.
So after Yang Ming got up, the sound followed, one by one inexplicably relieved, if it was a silent film, this would be too challenging the audience's aesthetics, and the experimental nature was too significant.
Ji Ming's performance is very different, one by one I glanced at my colleagues, and I knew that both sides had such a feeling.
After Yang Ming woke up, he returned to the Red Star Dance Troupe, and had an embarrassing reaction at the goddess teacher, covering it with clothes, and many people at the scene laughed clearly, one by one, and laughed for a while: "It's very smooth, this director's shot, Peach is really beautiful, a typical dream lover." ”
Then Yang Ming danced "The Waking Wrangler Boy" and "Feng Nie" in the process of returning to the dance troupe, which amazed many people, especially the Chinese audience - they all know that Ji Ming can dance, and some people have seen his video at the fan meeting, but it is quite surprising to see him wearing a simple black dance costume in the movie and dancing a dance neatly.
Soon, Yang Ming realized that his body was not like a person who had been in bed for five years, it was full of vitality - reality was invading this illusion.
He rushed to a secluded dance studio and tore off his clothes—the largest scale since the film.
"Wow," One exclaimed in a small voice, "So this is a surreal story?"
My colleague nodded: "Didn't they all say that it was a bit similar to "Black Swan" before, and it is estimated that the dancers have conjectures or something." ”
One by one, he suddenly reacted: "I mean Ji Ming's performance this time is very different, it should be an unreal sense of floating, because he put this sense of floating into almost every action, which caused us to get used to it later, and the strangeness subsided." ”
"It's very difficult to deal with. ”
"Of course, generally speaking, this sense of floatation is achieved through film technology, such as color grading, dimming, etc., through performance, and I can't think of any other examples - and it's really to the flesh and bones. One by one, he suddenly stopped.
At this time, Yang Ming saw his energetic body in the mirror, and he realized that something was not normal, the slight distortion of his limbs, the face-changing struggle in the close-up of his eyes, and the scenes in this section can almost form a multi-picture painting, such as the self-portrait of Freud Bacon, which is meaningful.
Ah, how many people exclaimed softly.
Outside the rehearsal room, someone was shouting Yang Ming, click, the painting-like picture shattered, and he hurriedly put on his clothes...... Reality rushes forward in this fantasy world again and again, stagnant digital watches, leaflets from five years ago, not good enough but very much like their own young dancers five years ago......
The rhythm of the movie is very tight, because the duration itself is relatively short, and the 90-minute movie removes a lot of redundant pictures, making it more watchable, otherwise it will be 120 minutes, a lot of long shots, the plot will be changed, and many people will easily fall asleep.
When Yang Ming finally took the stage to dance "Silent Lake", he glanced at the teacher and smiled, which made one by one think of the word "sacrifice to death" - the next dance is the dance of sacrifice.
The breathing on the scene is much thinner, although everyone is just a movie lover, but the subtlety of the dance of "Silent Lake" has surpassed the professional barrier, especially since it is still in the narrative of the whole movie, there are a lot of emotions and plot foreshadowing, it is easy to help outsiders feel the emotions inside.
The beauty is thrilling, it's dance.
Thrilling beauty, this is the burning Yang Ming.
And in this amazing process, it is still rapidly cutting into the disappearance of the young dancers, the discoloration of the actors, and the flashback of the audience to the way it was five years ago...... The light at the top of the stage is like a window, slowly closing:
"Are the family sure they gave up?"
It's over.
One by one, they opened their mouths: "Uh, the whole movie is a dream, a dying dream?"
"Dreams?" the colleague thought of those thrilling hints: "Finally, if you give up, it should be the patient who has been sustaining life, what if he is not asleep, maybe he just can't speak, but he is still awake?"
“…… So desperate?"
After a remarkable, long sigh, every seat in the screening room burst into heartfelt applause.
Just a few minutes later.
Roy, an Italian film critic, posted a short "film review" on his Facebook page - "Now, let's see if it's Jackie or Ming." #伟大的威尼斯#伟大的电影. ”
