Invitation to the 707 Film Festival

Recommended song: Darius – I'. Buying

"Yi family" will finally reach a cooperation agreement with Sony to release Lee Joon-yi's first English album, many people did not expect that before this, Universal has always had the upper hand, but at the last moment Sony came out, which surprised the industry. Of course, Lee Joon-yi's first English-language album will have his own producer, and Sony will only be responsible for distribution, publicity and marketing operations, which also makes the industry feel incredible.

For the time being, Sony has only signed the distribution rights of Lee Joon-yi's first English album, and has the priority to release the second English album. This can be regarded as an insurance move by Sony.

If you leave aside the contract problems of Kim Jae-jung, Park Youqian and others, Lee Joon-yi has been doing very well recently. The filming of "Lunar Eclipse" went well, and the small accident that occurred not long ago seemed to be the biggest bad luck for the crew, only the weather and environment had to be in the weather during the shooting, and everything was going smoothly, David Slade even felt that it could be completed a week earlier; after Lin Yun'er returned not long ago, her popularity exploded, and she recently began to plan to enter Japan, and she was in a good mood; Kwon Zhilong's album was a great success, and Lee Joon-yi showed his face again in South Korea; there were no accidents in the preparation of the album of the Little Beast Group and Lee Ji-eun, and it was all smooth. Of course, if it is a good thing that Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner are both making good progress, then Lee Joon-yi's life has been full of joy recently.

The selection of the Little Beast Group is officially over, but unfortunately Lee Joon-yi was filming on the other side of the ocean and did not return to Seoul to participate directly, but Lee Joon-yi also provided his own opinions when the list was finally decided. There are no surprises in the selection of Liang Yaoxie, Lee Ki-kwong, and Long Jun-hyung; after Zhang Xiansheng corrected his mentality, his performance in this selection was also very good and he was successfully selected; Sun Dongyun's performance was still a little unstable, and his dancing and singing were not too prominent, but the emphasis was on average strength, and his appearance was good, so he was also added to the group list. And the last person in the group was a little unexpected by Lee Joon-yi, it was actually Yoon Doo-joon.

To tell the truth, Yin Doujun's practice time is indeed too short, and his current strength is still not enough, singing out of tune and breaking the sound cannot be regarded as an accident, and his dancing skills are not profound, don't compare with Li Qiguang, a master of dance, even with Sun Dongyun, there is nothing outstanding. In terms of appearance, Yoon Doo-joon is in line with the traditional aesthetic standards of Koreans and is a popular candidate for a boyfriend. But this is not enough for Yoon Doo-joon to be selected for the small beast group Beast.

But in fact, Yoon Doo-jun's selection was still before Zhang Xiansheng and Sun Dongyun, which made Lee Joon-yi wonder.

"Joon-yi, who do you think of the other five people can be the captain?" this is what Hong Sung-hyun said to Lee Joon-yi.

Li Junyi pondered carefully, Liang Yaoxie and Sun Dongyun have a child's heart, Li Qiguang is a simple guy, Long Junheng is paralyzed and indifferent, and Zhang Xiansheng's mentality needs to be investigated. As a result, there is really no one who is suitable for the captain. For a group, a captain is not enough to put on a name. Look at Jung Yun-ho, and then look at Little, you will know that in fact, the position of the captain of a group is very important, and different captains have different roles, such as TVXQ's captain Jung Yun-ho is the spiritual core, for example, Super.Junior's captain Litt is a good organizer and coordinator, and for example, 2NE1's captain Lee Chae-rim CL and Bigbang's captain Kwon Ji-ryong are all representative figures of the group's characteristics. If a combination does not have a captain, it will definitely fail, but it will definitely be more difficult to succeed.

"We looked for someone who was suitable to be the captain among the trainees, and among these people, Yoon Doo-jun was more average. "That's right, since you are going to be the captain, the strength must be average, and one-way prominence is not necessarily necessary. Hong Sung-hyun only used two sentences to convince Lee Joon-yi.

As a result, the small beast group plan of the "Yi family" was officially launched, and the dance training of the title song "" has begun. This song was personally selected by Lee Joon-yi from the songs he received, and he originally planned to write one himself, but he has been busy recently, and the English album is still on standby, so he really has no inspiration to write another Korean song. Instead of forcing yourself, it is better to pick a high-quality song from the songs received, and there are still many good songwriters in Korea. Li Zhunyi likes this song very much, and the quality is really top-level.

In the midst of this celebration, Lee Joon-yi received good news from Tom Ford, "Yi, our 'single man' has been successfully shortlisted for the competition unit of the Venice Film Festival"

"Wow, Venice ......" This was Li Zhunyi's first reaction.

"Wow, you're so fast in post-production. This was Lee Joon-yi's second reaction.

This made Tom Ford on the other end of the phone laugh, "We are a literary film, and we don't play any advanced technology, when shooting, in fact, the editing is almost the same, and there are no other post-computer production special effects or anything." It's been almost two months, and post-production has long been done. ”

"Does that mean we're going to Venice?" Of course, this is also an honor, especially to appear at such a world-class film festival, which is also a good opportunity for actors to become famous all over the world.

"Of course, the red carpet in Venice is waiting for our 'Quasi-Lord,'" said Tom Ford, who was clearly in a good mood and laughed and joked.

At the beginning of this year, Lee Joon-yi first attended the Oscars as an award presenter, and then appeared in the promotional video of the Cannes Film Festival as a promotional guest, and after half of 2009, Lee Joon-yi will participate in the Venice International Film Festival as an award candidate, which is really a few months of progress.

The Venice Film Festival does not have a waitlist for every award like the Oscars, as long as the film is shortlisted in the competition section, it can participate in all the eligible awards and be selected by the jury. Therefore, Lee Joon-yi and Tom Ford, including the other actors of the movie, are also candidates for the award.

The Venice Film Festival is the world's first international film festival with a long history and is known as the "father of international film festivals". The Venice Film Festival, Berlin Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival, Toronto Film Festival, and Karlovy Vary Film Festival are all the five major international film festivals recognized by the International Film Federation, and not only that, but also known as the world's four major art film festivals along with the Berlin Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival, and Moscow Film Festival.

The Venice Film Festival encourages innovation, even if it is flawed, and the judging criterion is artistry, which can be described as a pioneer in the development of art films. Since Hou Xiaoxian won the Golden Lion Award for Best Film in 1989, Zhang Yimou, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Ang Lee, Jia Zhangke, John Woo and others have had brilliant moments at the Venice Film Festival, and Gong Li and Xia Yu have also become the first actress and actor among the Chinese.

At the 66th Venice Film Festival this year, not only four Chinese-language films were shortlisted for the competition unit, but also one film was shortlisted for the non-competition unit, and a Wenchuan disaster relief documentary "1428" was shortlisted for the horizon unit. More importantly, Ang Lee served as the chairman of the jury of this year's Venice Film Festival, so it is conceivable that the atmosphere of Chinese people at this year's Venice Film Festival will be very strong. Now, Lee Joon-yi has also been successfully shortlisted for the competition unit with "single man", and this trip to Venice is indeed worth looking forward to.

"I only came back from filming in Italy at the beginning of the year, but I haven't been to Venice, so I can finally go to this world-famous water city this time. Li Zhunyi said with a smile, "Don't they all say that global warming will not be visible in Venice in a few decades, so now we have to hurry over and have a look." ”

"Ha, if you want to travel, then go a few days early, the Venice Film Festival opens from September 2nd to the end of the 12th, during which it is also very good to take a vacation and watch movies. "Tom Ford is playing the abacus so well that he's even starting to imagine the taste of the Mediterranean," and if our film gets a good reception, maybe we can find an operator to buy the distribution rights and release it in the United States before the end of the year, maybe we can meet the Oscar deadline." ”

"I didn't expect you to have more ambitious ideas, but I was short-sighted. Li Zhunyi chuckled. Not long ago, "500 Days with Sammo" premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and received critical acclaim, before it entered the eyes of Fox Searchlight. Now, "Single Man" is also an independent Tom Ford film, and it must be released in American theaters in this way, otherwise it will have to be released on DVD, which may really be a loss.

"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and although this is only my first film, the idea must be far-reaching. Tom Ford was not at all modest, but said confidently, "By the way, how are you going to shoot the 'Lunar Eclipse', can you go to Venice then? If you want to take a leave of absence, you have to take at least five days off." "Traveling from the U.S. to Europe is enough time on the plane, so it's a bit of a hassle.

"Everything is going well at the moment. The crew originally planned to finish by mid-September, but now the progress is quite fast, and it is hoped that it will be completed by the end of August. If it is late, it is estimated that the beginning of September can also be close to the end. "No one can give a letter of approval for filming, and Li Zhunyi can only speculate, "Let's watch while filming, if it doesn't work in September, we will discuss it then, whether I should finish filming first and then go to Venice, or take a leave of absence for five days and come back." "As for giving up the idea of attending the Venice Film Festival, of course, it is impossible, and the opportunity to appear on the world stage is also very precious for Lee Joon-yi.

Today's third update is delivered.

Although there are only three watches today, it is a small explosion, but the three watches also have 10,000 words, so, ask for a monthly pass, haha
