Chapter 834: Horror Movie

The selection of the Oscars will be affected by many off-site factors, and the awards of the three major European film festivals seem to be more impartial than the Oscars, but the degree of fairness is actually limited.

However, one thing can be confirmed, if the film wants to win the award, it must have a certain quality content as a basis.

Otherwise, it will inevitably cause huge controversy.

Controversy is not a bad thing for movies, but controversies like Shakespeare and Gwyneth Paltrow, neither Ronan nor Ang Lee will like it.

It's not a good thing to be dragged out and whipped from time to time.

Of course, including the Venice Film Festival, the three major European film festivals have produced no less outrageous awards than Hollywood and the Oscars.

But as soon as the screening of "Brokeback Mountain" began, it made people feel that this was a film with quality and content guarantee.

The color impact brought by a beautiful lens can only be described as "clean"!

The film is as desolate, pure, gorgeous and mysterious as a paradise.

Countless sheep, two people, lonely years, accompany each other, support, and keep warm.

Love is almost instantaneous.

As if heeding the call of nature.

As a result, there is true love regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, or even race......

Ronan's friend once said that in the wilderness, except for men, they are sheep, either men or sheep.

In the end, if you don't choose a sheep, you can only choose a man.

This is also for the safety of the sheep.

Ang Lee said to Ronan that what he wanted to express was love, pure love, a universal emotion, love in a broad sense, and should not be limited to men or women.

So, in Ang Lee's lens, everything is so natural and subtle, like a river about to merge into the sea and the sun to set on the horizon.

It is precisely this natural subtlety that makes it difficult for people to dislike the film.

At the same time, it will not make people feel that Ang Lee is promoting homosexuality, because watching the film, you will feel that Ennis just loves Jack, not men.

Perhaps, it is Ang Lee's subtlety that has made this "Brokeback Mountain".

If it is filmed by a European art director, the content of the film can be imagined, and many spicy shots must make people unable to eat after watching them.

This kind of art, don't do it.

At the end of the film, Ennis puts their clothes on and hangs them together, next to a postcard of Brokeback Mountain......

This moment makes people sigh.

From then on, Brokeback Mountain will no longer be a mountain, but will become synonymous with it in a broad sense.

In the female voice with a nostalgic texture, the film ends.

The audience burst into warm applause, the people in the theater were applauding, and the people who could come to the film festival were undoubtedly movie enthusiasts.

These people seem to be moved by the emotions conveyed by the film.

Just behind Ronan, a girl snorted and said with a crying voice, "It's so sad." ”

This film attracted thunderous applause from the audience and detonated the entire Venice Film Festival.

At the press conference later, when Ang Lee was interviewed by media reporters, he said the sentence that had spread all over the world: "Everyone has a brokeback mountain in their hearts, and it is a dream that can never be reached!"

Someone once said that the strength of Ang Lee's films lies in his Eastern and Western cultural backgrounds, and he can interpret the Eastern world with Western thinking, and can also interpret the Western world with Eastern thinking.

With the release of the film, "Brokeback Mountain" also focused on strengthening the promotion at the Venice Film Festival, and on the special movie poster released, in addition to the title, a subtitle was specially tailored for the film festival - Love is the power of nature!

In the passionate and unrestrained Venice, "Brokeback Mountain" has unsurprisingly won the attention of countless people.

Both the audience and the media have a very high evaluation of this film.

"Italian News" is even more highly praised: Ang Lee tells a moving love story almost perfectly.

Other evaluations similar to "near-perfect masterpiece" and "a love epic" are endless.

"Brokeback Mountain" brought Ang Lee back to the mainstream of world cinema again.

Even, the crew has seen the Golden Lion Award beckoning from afar.

But Ronan knows best that the Venice Film Festival is just the beginning, for investors, for Relativity Entertainment, awards are always a stepping stone to commercial gains, and the ultimate goal of all art awards is just to get more commercial profits.

Therefore, even if it wins the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, it is far from enough for the global marketing of "Brokeback Mountain".

Some reports about "Brokeback Mountain" have also begun to appear on the Internet and traditional media in North America, but Embassy Pictures has not yet launched, and the real show will not appear until the eve of the awards season.

Now that he is in Venice, Ronan also walked around the festival to see if he could meet the right film.

Taking advantage of the publicity break, Anne Hathaway also ran over and accompanied Ronan to visit the Venice Film Festival's fair.

Walking between the booths of production companies from all over the world, Anne Hathaway looked around curiously, and soon said in Ronan's ear: "Those people in the booth, looking at you, are more eager than me." ”

Ronan smiled and whispered, "How can I compare to you? ”

Anne Hathaway chuckled, "Do you like it?"

Ronan made no secret of it: "A night I will never forget." ”

After the premiere last night, after returning to the hotel, Anne Hathaway turned into a cat and got a big fluffy tail, as if she had really become a cat woman.

Anne Hathaway continued to whisper: "As long as you like, I will have a lot of tricks. In order to whet her appetite, she changed the topic at the right time and returned to the question just now: "Why are those people looking at you with blank eyes?"

Ronan looked at the booth of an Israeli film studio for a while, ignored the staff's eager invitation, and walked away before answering Anne Hathaway's question: "Because they all know me, they know who I am, and what I'm here for." ”

Anne Hathaway nodded, knowing in her heart: "You are not only a producer, but also the owner of a distribution company with global distribution capabilities. ”

Ronan smiled and paused again to watch the clip shown at another booth.

Although the film industry around the world is developing rapidly, there are still a few films that can enter theaters, and even fewer films that can enter the global market.

Eventually, Ronan shook his head and walked away, respecting these experimental and authorial films, but not showing any interest in buying them.

Frankly speaking, the Venice Film Festival's transaction links are more than one notch worse than the Cannes Film Festival.

Films that feel they have a commercial future tend to be the first choice to go to the Cannes Film Festival's trading platform.

Walking in front of the booth of a film company from the East, Ronan finally saw a familiar movie, a comic book adaptation.

It's a pity that it's a Japanese manga adaptation of a movie, and the actor is not a professional actor.

Ronan stopped and looked at it for a moment, and was just about to leave when an acquaintance walked over.

"Mr. Anderson. Andrew Liu had surprise on his face.

Ronan was also a little surprised, shook hands with Andrew Liu, and said, "Andrew, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

"Director Scorsese's script was finalized, and I left the crew. Andrew Liu said with a smile: "It happened that the Venice Film Festival was starting, and I stopped by to promote the new film. ”

Ronan pointed to the clip being played and asked, "...... this "Initial D"

Andrew Liu hastened to say: "This is a new film directed by my partner and me. ”

Ronan nodded slightly, looking at Dong Chou and Teacher Chen on the screen, he had a feeling of being absent for a long time.

In particular, Mr. Chen is enlightening the public by ruining his career, and he also tells you that you must not find someone to repair the computer without cleaning the hard disk.

The consequences were severe, even tragic.

Andrew Liu recommended his new film to Embassy Pictures, but Embassy Pictures rejected it outright.

Because the box office of the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy in North America cannot be described as "miserable".

Seeing Ronan, Andrew Liu's mind came alive again, and he looked at Ronan and saw that he was reviewing the clip that was played, and introduced: "This is a movie based on the manga of the same name in the island country, starring a young actor who is popular with the public in the East......"

Without waiting for Andrew Liu to finish speaking, Ronan raised his hand to interrupt him and said directly: "Andrew, this film is not suitable for the North American market, or even the Western market. ”

Andrew Liu was a smart guy, and he didn't need to say something too clearly, and he knew right away that Ronan had little interest in the film.

Glancing at the famous Akina mountain bike god again, Ronan said, "I'll go look elsewhere and talk another day." ”

Andrew Liu didn't say much and sent Ronan out of the booth.

Anne Hathaway took Ronan's arm and asked curiously, "Aren't you interested in watching it for a while?"

Ronan smiled, "Honey, how do you say this kind of thing......"

I don't understand it at all, this represents the memories of the past, and the autumn name mountain bike god is simply one of the most widely circulated stalks on the Internet.

It's just the movie "Initial D"......

It is said that the female fans of Jay Chou didn't like it very much, and thought that a good comic idol racing movie was made into a horror movie.

As for why it is a horror movie, Jay Chou's female fans gave an incomparably powerful reason: Isn't it scary enough for an ugly island woman to kiss Jay Chou's face?

Later, Ronan saw "Seven Swords" filmed by Xu Laowei again, and he also had no intention of buying it.

After going around the trade fair and finding nothing in the end, Ronan is not disappointed, it is impossible to meet "Blair the Witch" or "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" every time.

In fact, after so many years of film festivals, the films that can be picked up by him can be counted with a slap.

When he got back to the hotel, Ronan invited, "I'm going to England for the weekend, Annie, are you going?"

Of course, Anne Hathaway would not refuse, saying, "Okay. ”
