Chapter 35 Itinerary
At the end of each film screening, there will be an interview time afterwards.
Not long, up to 10 minutes.
Most of them are interviews with directors, and occasionally they ask a few words about the actors.
"Burst Drummer" is even more so, because director Damien Chazelle is only 32 years old, the same age as Sister Mi!
Moreover, he is quite good-looking...
This is an era of looking at appearances!
"I was a drummer when I was younger, my teacher was a bit crazy, and I buried that memory, but I never forgot it. Suddenly one day it occurred to me that maybe there was something else to dig into in this memory. ”
"It's not difficult, the actors basically don't need me to teach anything, they practice every day..."
"We have been preparing for "Burst Drummer" for two years, and it was filmed in less than 3 weeks, and it was completed..."
"There are a lot of internal scenes in this story, which is relatively easy to handle, secondly, I know quite well about the content of the story, and thirdly, the whole story is very concise, only about the male protagonist and the "not very healthy" master-apprentice relationship between the male protagonist and his teacher. ”
"The protagonist is, of course, Andrew, and this is a story with Andrew as a sight!"
"Of course, I have to thank Shen Ming, he read my script, and said at that time, 'I want this story, how much do you think it will cost!'"
"He's right here, ask him yourself!"
Then Shen Ming was surrounded...
The first question is, are you very rich?
"Uh..."
Recently, Chinese local tycoons have bought a lot this year, and the whole world thinks that Chinese are rich, so they subconsciously think that Shen Ming is also one of them...
How do you explain this Nima?
"I can't talk about being rich, but when I come across a movie I like, I can't control it..."
This answer is quite decent!
……
The next day, the films screened in the main competition unit were "Mother", "Lost Town", "Slander" and "The Third Murder" by Hirokazu Kore-eda...
Shen Ming likes Hirokazu Kore-eda very much.
On the surface, his movies seem to be a running account, but there is that unhidden and surging momentum in it, which is very touching!
Shen Ming really wants to see "The Third Killing"...
But he didn't have time, so he was led by Yang Xin for an exclusive interview when he got up...
It's Fujitsu Entertainment.
After eating breakfast and putting on makeup, Shen Ming arrived at the interview room, the people of Fujisun Entertainment had already set up a posture, and the host held the microphone: "What do you think of the fact that there are only 55 films in Venice this year?"
came up and asked a question that made Shen Ming scratch his head!
"What do you think of Alberto Barbera's decision to reduce the number of films in the Marc Müller era from 180 to 55 when he became president of the Venice Film Festival?"
Shen Ming thought for a long time, and finally asked tentatively: "... Does it have anything to do with me?"
The host was choked up...
It really has nothing to do with him!
Alberto Barbera also said that the aesthetic taste and connotation of foreign audiences are higher than that of ordinary Chinese audiences!
"And what kind of movie do you think 'Burst Drummer' is?"
"A kind of blackened inspirational movie!"
"And what about director Damien Chazelle?"
"Very good, Damien Chazelle is a very honest academic, the light and shadow, the picture, the details of the close-up, the music including the rhythm editing are very attentive"
"Why would you want to invest in a foreign film?"
"It's just a coincidence, and the investment is not high, the production cost of "Burst Drummer" is less than $3 million, which is a low-budget movie!"
"So if the same script happened in China, would you invest?"
Shen Ming thought for a while and replied: "Probably not, if the story of "Bursting Drummer" takes place in the mainland, do you think such a script can pass the censorship? The teacher wants to ruin the students, and he still does it to the students..."
"We know that China's independent films are in a difficult situation at the moment, and many scripts that are not commercially obvious cannot find investors, do you want to help them?"
Shen Ming rolled his eyes: "I'm not there yet..."
"Then what do you think Alberto Barbera said that Chinese films are not suitable for film festivals?"
“… Just a family, he only watches a few Chinese movies a year?"
"So, you don't agree with that?"
"Anyway, if I were a director and I was making a "film for the local public" and a film that was "suitable for going abroad", then I would definitely choose the former. ”
Alberto was born as a film critic, a very typical European film critic, who can't watch Hollywood movies, and naturally can't look at Chinese movies that study Hollywood...
I didn't talk about anything, just a brief introduction to "Burst Drummer"...
By the way, let Shen Ming talk about his feelings about participating in the Venice Film Festival for the first time, the host wanted him to talk about literary films in the mainland, but he refused because he was not qualified enough...
……
It is said that Venice is also learning from Cannes and has set up a film market, but unfortunately, few films are willing to set up stalls here, and Toronto has taken away the most competitive series of films in the Hollywood system!
Including "Burst Drummer", once the Venice Film Festival closes, the main creative team will appear in Toronto with the film, which is a good place to talk about business!
More than halfway through the film festival, most of the films in the screening unit have been unveiled, and "Bursting Drummer" has the best media reputation, and the call for winning the award is very loud!
"The Screen" and "Watching a Movie" have all given good reviews.
Shen Ming is very busy, and he has to attend different drinking parties and parties every day...
On the one hand, to meet more people, on the other hand, there will be judges at these parties...
Public relations, win awards, no shame!
Look back at home.
Many people are paying attention to this year's Venice Film Festival.
To be precise, they are all staring at Shen Ming!
Obviously, there is a "Carnival" shortlisted for the main competition unit, which was directly and selectively forgotten by the media...
The media, of course, who has the heat, rubs whom.
Although Brother Ming's own team issued marketing for the movie "Burst Drummer", Shen Ming's acting skills are rarely mentioned...
But I can't stand the heat!
On the Internet, more and more manuscripts are praising Shen Ming's breakthrough...
"After watching Shen Ming's "Bursting Drummer", I really wanted to cooperate with him once, but I really couldn't imagine how he contained such a powerful energy!
This is Jin Chen...
"I heard that when Shen Ming was filming the movie, both hands were worn out, and the drumsticks and skeleton were stained with blood. ”
"The slap scene, from the audition to the real shooting, J· K Simmons was a real slap, and after a scene, Shen Ming was slapped eight times, and his whole face was swollen!"
This is the marketing account revealing the behind-the-scenes news of "Burst Drummer"...
This situation was a bit unexpected by Yang Xin, but she was also happy to help, and "Great Wish" will be released soon!
