"Is he awake, or is he in a dream—"Mo" is far more desperate than "Black Swan". ”

"Die like fireworks, crushed in the brightest moments. ”

"'Silence' is a movie that takes you from comfort to surprise to horror and finally jaw-dropping and shivering. ”

"There is no doubt that Ming has delivered a classic performance, and he has made a struggle that exists in his personal fantasy with more intensity and layering than it actually exists, which is a rare contribution of the level of performance history. ”

"After the premiere of "Joker", Joaquin Phoenix was thought to be the new owner of the Volpi Cup, but after the release of "Silence", all this became unknown. ”

"From Cannes to Venice, from "Meet the Land of the Gods" to "Mo", Ji Ming has shown the great possibilities and character creativity of a young actor. ”

"Is 'Mo' a dance film or a cinematic dance? In any case, Ming's performance is worthy of his dance, and his dance also makes the performance shine. ”

"Again!MIng made Italy cheer. ”

The above is just the content of European and American media reports from both professional and non-professional fields in the day after the release of "Silence" - in a way, it is not inferior to the widely watched "Joker". In fact, if you change the environment, such as two movies being released at the same time, "Mo" will not be as popular as "Joker" in any case, whether in terms of subject matter or cast, in the West, the two are not of the same magnitude.

In Venice, however, it was a competition, and when "Joker" seemed to have no rivals, "Mo" appeared.

Everyone was excited.

Far away in China, "Mo" has pressed "Joker" solidly, whether it is Joaquin Phoenix or the Joker in the DC world, it is impossible to compare influence with Ji Ming.

"Home treatment, the premiere of Ji Ming's new work in Venice, is highly sought after by Italians. ”

Film critics say Ji Ming will be the strongest contender for the Venice actor. ”

"Like 'Black Swan'? No, critics say 'Silence' is far deeper than 'Black Swan'. ”

"The new work collapsed, inside and outside the red carpet, Ji Ming amazed Venice. ”

Since the opening of the Venice Film Festival, in the domestic media, there is not much discussion, for the major film festivals, in fact, it is the same, the people who eat melons only care about the award list, as for the award list, it is all gossip, whether it explodes or not depends on everyone's mood, and the attention of the media - Ji Ming undoubtedly detonated the first peak of this Venice Film Festival on domestic social media.

Film critic Dark Knight gave "Silence" a five-star rating: "Ji Ming did not have any chance of disappointing, nor did he have the slightest plan to lower the standard of his works. "Silence" is a more mature work than "Falling Immortals", from the shot to the rhythm, from the plot to the concept, from the editing to the performance, it can almost be called perfect.

First of all, we must mention Ji Ming's performance, after the premiere, we saw a large number of film festival critics not hesitate to give high affirmation, thinking that he will compete with Jie Kun for the best actor. Unlike Jackie's very typical Hollywood standard top-level performance, Ji Ming gave a very spiritual and eclectic answer - which is different from what he gave in "Immortals". We clearly know that this kind of performance is tailor-made for "Mo", which is in line with its setting, background and needs, and is very sincere. Specifically, everyone will see it after the release.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that there is also the director, Alice Lowach, who may be very unknown to Chinese audiences, but in Europe, she is not unknown, and she has a successful record at the Cannes Film Festival. However, we must admit that when we knew that Ji Ming had found an Italian to direct his new film, many people hung their hearts, and in the past few years, we have seen too many Sino-foreign cooperation that is not suitable for the local environment. Whether it is the customization of foreign films for the sake of the Chinese market, or the forced internationalization of Chinese films for the sake of awards and coercion, there are far more failures than successes.

But after watching the film, it must be said that director Lowach is probably the most suitable director for this film, and her and Ji Ming's joint actions have created an unparalleled atmosphere for this film, which runs through all aspects of the film, from the most superficial shots to the deepest reflections - I think the establishment of this atmosphere is creative throughout the history of cinema.

Looking forward to good news in Venice, and also looking forward to its official release in China. ”

"My mother, so you're really going to win the Venice Best Actor?"

"These people who write movie reviews should write fantasy, and they blow it more than cultivating immortals. ”

"The Internet has blown up the capital, how popular "Joker" was before, how popular "Mo" was - considering that "Mo" is a Chinese film, you know how bullish it is. ”

"Oh yes, to be honest, I don't want Ji Ming to win the actor this year, if he does, I feel like he is about to retire. ”

- "And Cannes and Berlin." ”

- "That's too slim, isn't it? It's not so easy to come across good scripts and projects, just look at the quality of the film now." ”

- "The only thing left is to pursue the goal of the three major actors, isn't it still a state of retirement? The kind of filming a movie in two or three years, you must at least be shortlisted if you shoot it." ”

- "He's only 22 years old, so let's do musicals, it's a pity to retire." ”

The popularity of "Silence" after its release is something that many people have never thought of - especially the Venice Organizing Committee, which is simply happy. "Joker", as a Hollywood comic adaptation, is very popular, and it can be said that it washes away the accusation that Venice is kneeling at the feet of Hollywood. As one of the three basic dishes of Asian art films, "Silence" has also aroused a tsunami of praise, which proves that Venice is still immortal outside of Hollywood and can unearth the best works.

In this wonderful mood, "Silence" has also received official support from many film festivals - such as their press conference schedule, interview arrangements, and the organizing committee have opened the door to convenience, and took the initiative to send invitations to some media who don't care much about Asian films, striving to create a festive scene of celebrating the festival from all over the world.

The gongs and drums are beating, and they are beating......

Ji Ming was dizzy, and most of the people used English at the press conference - but with a variety of accents, it was like an English museum. It was also at this moment that Ji Ming realized that although English is the world's language, there are too many differences, not to mention island countries and stick countries, as well as Indian media, which are notoriously difficult to understand, and even Australian English is not so "standard".

"I think my English was the best in the whole audience. Ji Ming muttered to Director Lowach, and Alice almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

In addition to the accent, of course, there are also a lot of problems.

Do you think you can win the best actor? I don't think it's useful.

Who do you think is better than you or Jacques? I grew up watching his movies......

If you're talking about the privileges of Italian filmmakers in Venice, I think you might have to worry about getting out of this room, be careful. Anyway, I have 12 points of trust and admiration for the fairness of the judges and the organizing committee. My collaboration with Alice is also based on the fact that we have an amazingly consistent artistic perception of this work, and I am extremely honored to work together.

Of course, there are many more discussions in the film itself, as well as some social issues that are extended, such as your attention to the desperate imagination of dying people, does it mean that you oppose euthanasia? Of course, there is a more profound philosophical question from a French journalist.

"Do you think that even if a person is unable to have any behavior, language, expressions, etc., his spirit can still survive independently, richly, and vividly? What is your understanding of the meaning of existence?"

OMG, buy it!

Ji Ming rubbed his eyebrows, feeling that his knowledge was still very limited: "Your question has given me a deeper understanding of my own movie, and I almost feel ashamed in front of it, thank you!"

The audience laughed.

Ji Ming laughed for a while before saying: "As for whether survival needs to exist based on what to express to the outside world, I think this is actually a very self-choice, including how to understand the action of 'expression'. Uh, so did I say it and didn't say it?"

Keep laughing.

The atmosphere at the scene was really cheerful.

The press conference took a lot longer than originally planned, so much so that they almost missed the premiere of "Lyceum Theater" - in the end, the red carpet was not completed, because they couldn't go directly to the red carpet after the press conference, and it was too late to change clothes or anything in the middle, so they simply didn't leave, but went directly to watch the movie.

The cast of "Lanxin Theater" is very strong, Gong Li's last work that is considered a movie should be "Return" with Chen Daoming, and "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" is definitely not counted. Director Lou Ye is undoubtedly one of the most attitudeful Chinese directors, and in addition, a number of Asian, European and American actors have also added a lot of expectations for the interpretation of this legendary story.

Ji Ming sat on the edge of the building guide.

"I thought you were too late. ”

"Almost. Ji Ming greeted Gong Li and her foreigner husband across Lou Ye, "It's not punctual at all." ”

Lou Ye smiled, what is it.

"It's a big hit. ”

"Your tone, I always feel that you are laughing at me, don't you especially look down on this kind of boiling anti-Yingtian?" Ji Ming teased him, if it was twenty years ago, before Lou Ye was banned, it might be. But now he won't.

The movie turned out to be a black-and-white film, which is contrary to the fast-paced increase in watchability of "Silence", "Lan Xin" is a movie with a very high viewing threshold, with a huge amount of information and chaos, the lens is unpredictable, and the experimental nature is rich, perhaps a very mature experiment - despite this, Ji Ming still enjoyed a kind of heartiness that belongs to the creator of the film after watching it.

I shoot whatever I want, I cut what I think, and what you see is what I want to do.

It's cool.

However, the evaluation of "Lan Xin" in the media and the audience is much more complicated, as can be seen from the large number of viewers who quit halfway - the two Chinese films before and after, the popularity of "Lan Xin" is not a fraction of that of "Mo", and the reports and discussions are like this, drought death, waterlogging death.

"The premiere of "Lanxin Theater" has two reactions, and the popularity is far less than Ji Ming's new work "Silence"" - this kind of title can be thought of almost when Ji Ming walks out of the screening hall. Sure enough, the Chinese media used this as the headline, not one or two.

However, Gong Li's performance has been recognized by many audiences, thinking that she can compete for the queen.

After watching Ji Ming of "Lan Xin", this year's Venice Film Festival, was caught by reporters for the first time, it was a domestic reporter, an acquaintance, and a person from the six princesses, she also coincidentally caught Lou Ye and them, Lou Ye had an exclusive interview, which was given to the one-eyed wave, so the six princesses planned to talk about a few questions at the exit, just to catch Ji Ming.

"Ji Ming, what do you think after reading it?"

"Very nice and extraordinary experience. Ji Ming replied, and then pushed her to Lou Ye: "You go to the main master, I answered dozens of questions today, my head was a little swollen, so I retired first." ”

I had no choice but to watch him go.

......

Quiet Venice, in fact, is a very small town, especially for Ji Ming, who is familiar with the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, except for some exotic customs, it is indeed impossible to see the vastness that matches its fame.

It's just that it rarely has quiet moments.

When Ji Ming and Morris walked by the river, they enjoyed a rare quiet in Venice - Morris was a bald British, not very old, which was normal for the British.

He is a musical theatre producer and of course a filmmaker.

"I think "Silence" is very suitable for adaptation into a musical, it has ready-made dances, the paragraph structure is very suitable for the stage, and the combination of fiction and reality will also attract the audience," Morris contacted Ji Ming through the organizing committee of the film festival, as soon as he heard the musical, and then looked at his resume, Ji Ming quickly agreed.

Free teachers.

"yes, can you be specific?"

Well, to be specific, I'll go home and do it.

Morris had no idea of Ji Ming's sinister nature, and he thought Ji Ming was very interested in it—if he knew about Ji Ming's previous trip to London, he might have been more convinced of this opinion. So he analyzed Ji Ming very enthusiastically, why he felt that "Mo" was very suitable for being changed into a musical, and it was a very "high-level" kind of tragedy.

Speaking of excitement, he described that on the dark stage, Ji Ming was in the pillar of light, dancing "Silent Lake" alone, the desolate and distant music sounded, and the chorus actors in the darkness were crying about the last splendor and brilliance, and lamenting for the end of life in advance......

Wow.

So beautiful.

"What do you think?"

"I think it's very good. ”

"So you agreed to cooperate, right?" Morris's eyes widened, waiting for Ji Ming's confirmation.

Ji Ming is still immersed in the imagination of the musical "Silence" that has become more and more complete after Morris helped him to describe it: "I feel that it is about to appear, although it has not been ten months, I have been waiting for it for a long time.

“...... What?"
