Feng Xiaogang is a great director...

This one is undeniable!

Of course he is talented, "Party A and Party B", he wrote and directed himself, and still remembers a line in it, which He Bing said: "The dumplings made by Aunt Qi are more fragrant." ”

Every time I think of this vivid line, I am very hungry for dumplings.

A good movie should be something like this.

In all fairness, from an artist to a director, there is no talent, ability, is it possible?

In those days, unlike now, if you have a beautiful painted face, you will own the whole world.

A photo of Li Heiniu's former brother-in-law sold for 4.8 million... I don't know if I have paid taxes yet!

……

Arrive at Toronto Pearson International Airport.

Because it was abroad, Shen Ming didn't dress up much, so Chi Guoguo got off the plane, and then he was surrounded by a group of people...

Don't get me wrong, they're all local students.

signed autographs, took a group photo, and after finishing the work, he followed Yang Xin to the car.

It should be a taxi booked in advance.

The car started slowly and drove down the slightly empty Airport Boulevard towards the city, flanked by nothing out of the ordinary, similar to those of Europe's big cities, ranging from experimental avant-garde works to Victorian spires.

Toronto is the capital of Ontario, a British colony...

"When I get to the hotel, I'm going to visit Dan Gilroy first, there should be a fan meeting tomorrow..."

"Tomorrow afternoon, "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" will be screened in Toronto, and we are going to cheer..."

"By the way, Ziyi likes you a lot, I'll take you to meet her!"

Along the way, Yang Xin introduced the itinerary for the next few days.

The main thing is to pull connections...

Located in the city's old neighborhood, it dates back to the early 19th century and is home to some of Ontario's densest Victorian buildings.

This hotel is also quite stylish, enjoying modern conveniences and full of antique feel.

Except that the price is slightly higher during the film festival, there is nothing wrong with it.

Brother Ming participated in the film festival for the first time, and at the same time, he was a little nervous...

……

Night, nine o'clock.

There is a time difference of about twelve hours between Toronto and the capital, and it happens that black and white are reversed, and Shen Ming has slept all the way on the plane, without any sleepiness.

I just took a newspaper and looked at it.

He must be watching news about "Nightcrawler"!

It's also easy to find, as the distributor of the film, Focus Film and Television has arranged a total of eight screenings for "Nightcrawler" at the Toronto Film Festival, and from the first screening, the venue was full, and the attendance rate reached more than 80%!

More than half of them are local Chinese...

And most of them came for Shen Ming!

Please watch the movie!

After all, the real screening will not begin in a few theaters until November.

The word of mouth is very good...

The judges' score is higher than that of "Lion", second only to "Room"...

"The Lion" is adapted from "The Long Way Home", directed by Garth Davis, distributed and promoted by Weinstein Pictures, aiming at the awards season...

It's a pity that Weinstein's vision has not been very good in recent years, and after 10 years, he has lost the Oscars in a row...

"Room" is distributed and produced by A24 Film and Television Company...

A24 is also an emerging film and television company that specializes in art films, with "The Lobster" and "Ex Machina" two years ago, "Moonlight", "Ghostly", "Disaster Artist", "Good Times", "Florida Project" and "Lady Bird" are all produced by A24!

This company has a lot to do with Amazon, and is said to be Amazon's subordinate film production company...

The old horse is probably very envious...

are all engaged in e-commerce, and Amazon can pick up a group of talents for Mao?

"Knock Knock"

Someone knocked on the door, and Shen Ming frowned: "Who?"

"Shen Ming, I'm Lu Wenyu, the editor-in-chief of "Movie World", can you talk a few words?"

“… Now, have you made an appointment?"

"Just a few words, mainly about "Nightcrawler"..."

"Then you go downstairs to the hall, I'll be there later!"

After taking him away, Shen Ming called and asked Yang Xin, who said that "Film World" still has some status in the traditional magazine circle, and let Shen Ming decide for himself...

After thinking about it, Shen Ming changed his clothes and went downstairs.

Anyway, it can be regarded as a kind of publicity, "Nightcrawler" should be released in China, so those marketing accounts have to have information to blow...

……

In fact, there has been a lot of news about Nightcrawler circulating on and off on the Internet.

After all, Shen Ming starred in a foreign language film...

But it's basically Shen Ming's acting skills, as well as the "Nightcrawler" movie itself...

This was all revealed from Dan Gilroy's interview.

Not only Shen Ming's fans, many people are very concerned about "Nightcrawler", they can't figure out how Shen Ming received such a script?

Lu Wenyu's first question was also asked.

"I don't know, Sister Yang said that they took the initiative to find me... I went to Los Angeles to audition, and I passed..."

"And do you know Dan Gilroy?"

"You mean before Nightcrawler?"

"Yes!"

“… I haven't heard much of it, I just know that he is a screenwriter. ”

"Then why did you audition?"

"The script is well written, I've never seen this kind of script, it's dark to the end, the dark version of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door"..."

"And then you're going to audition? Can you tell us about the audition experience? I think you must remember it!"

“… It's not profound, it just let me play a part, and then let me out, it must have happened in April, and then I called and said that I got the role..."

"How long did the movie take?"

"It's not been three weeks, because it's an independent film, the investment is not big, it's all live shooting..."

"Then what did you do for the movie? I heard that I took the initiative to lose 18 pounds?"

"That's the director's request, he said that he wanted to make the protagonist like a hungry wolf, which I think makes sense, and he can't blink the whole time, including the way he walks, the habit of saying his lines, and the southern accent in the lines are all to fit the characters..."

"I heard that this "Night Stalker" is aiming for the awards season, are you taking this drama for the Oscars?"

Shen Ming frowned: "... Before an actor takes over the role, he should think about the fit of the script and the role, not the award or the box office, and if he can get an Oscar nomination, it is the result, not what you can think of before!"

"In fact, "Nightcrawler" is already one of the Oscar seeders this year, and we are trying our best to promote the drama and strive to help Shen Ming get an Oscar nomination!"

A voice came from behind him, it was Yang Xin, his aura was very strong, he waved his hand at Lu Wenyu, and then glanced at Shen Ming: "Dan Gilroy is looking for you, you go back first!"

"Sister Yang!" Without waiting for Shen Ming to speak, Lu Wenyu got up with a very respectful expression...

"Wenyu, it's really you, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you're already the editor-in-chief?"
