Chapter 229: Venice (4/5)

With the opening of the film in China, the global box office of "Inception" officially broke 850 million US dollars, and there is a chance to rush to 900 million...

Nolan gradually condensed and became a god-level director of original films...

In fact, all of Hollywood is biased against original big productions!

No studio would dare to budget more than $100 million for an original film!

Unless, the director himself can handle it!

Therefore, the producers of many amazing original productions are not Hollywood's Big Six...

With the success of Inception, the media is saying that it is a triumph of original films, and Hollywood production companies will be interested in more original stories that have been in the dust for a long time by directors or screenwriters...

But all filmmakers are well aware that the downturn in Hollywood original films will not change because of this, it will only decline more and more, and sequels and adaptations are the mainstream of commercial big productions.

Of course, the benefits that actors get are real. The first to bear the brunt is Xiao Lizi, frankly speaking, Xiao Lizi is definitely one of the few actors in Hollywood who has never acted in a bad movie!

But in addition to the big ship, his commercial appeal is really not strong.

"Inception" has surpassed "Impunity" and has become the second work in his career to break $300 million at the North American box office.

Bullish together, as well as Joseph Gordon, Weekly News!

According to the news from the summit, there are several medium-sized productions that are interested in inviting Brother Xun to be the heroine, but it depends on her own ideas...

In fact, it is really difficult for Chinese actors to mix in Hollywood, especially Brother Xun who walks literary and artistic hanging - few old Americans are willing to watch a literary film starring Chinese.

Secondly, in recent years, the economic recession has made Hollywood's choice of non-white and black-skinned actors more rational.

However, after "Inception", Brother Xun's commercial value increased rapidly, and when foreigners choose spokespersons in China, they will first consider Chinese actresses who have made a name for themselves internationally rather than blanket stars...

……

Venice, Excelsior Hotel.

In fact, this year's Venice Film Festival has at least one-third more media reporters than in previous editions, and many reporters are here for "Untouchable" and Little Plum, Fat Wen, and Scarlett Johansson!

Regardless of whether the Venice Film Festival admits it or not, they have always focused on avant-garde and literary films, and their appeal has lagged far behind the Toronto Film Festival in Canada!

Without the pressure of Hollywood's big names, their situation will only become more and more embarrassing!

However, there is still some weight in the Golden Lion Award, such as "Black Swan", "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire", "Thirteen Assassins", "Norwegian Wood" and many other films will participate in the official competition unit and compete for the famous Golden Lion Award.

The reason why "Untouchable" was screened in Venice was because Catherine designed a winning strategy...

It's just that I didn't make it to the main competition, probably because... No fruit play?

As soon as the film festival ended, the crew immediately went to Toronto...

The opening ceremony is tomorrow, and at noon on the same day, Zhang Junsheng and Scarlett had a warm and friendly discussion on the relationship between men and women, and practiced it from a biological point of view.

In fact, a long, long time ago, when God created human beings, He gave each woman two advantages and a vulnerability, but when He created a man, He only gave men one strength.

A great Western writer once said that a work like a film or something like that cannot be appreciated or circulated if it does not have a designed, universal relationship between men and women.

Scarlett, who was born as a goddess of literature and art, knows these very well...

Maybe she's been busy filming Marvel movies lately, and she needs to vent the pressure that has accumulated for a long time, and her skillful skills and beautiful body are so good that the Son of the Plane almost didn't resist...

Now Scarlett is at the peak of her appearance, in order to cooperate with the new play, her long golden hair is permed into a small reel, leaving only a bunch of low hanging on each sideburn, white and tender skin...

It's hard to imagine that ten years from now, her skin will be dull and dull...

The goddess will always get old, so grasp the moment!

After two rounds of fighting, after taking a shower, Scarlett was applying makeup, and Zhang Junsheng handed her a notebook.

Glancing at the title page: "Lucy?"

"Yes, my next work. ”

Taking a sip of water, Zhang Junsheng continued: "This is a science fiction film, Lucy is forced to become a drug dealer, and then this drug is poured into her own body, but it gives her superhuman powers: including telepathy, instant absorption of knowledge and other skills, making her an omnipotent "superwoman". ”

"It's a very simple story, it's about what happens when the brain is fully developed. ”

β€œβ€¦ When will it turn on?"

"Look at your schedule, this drama doesn't take much time, it can be filmed in thirty days..."

Scarlett thought for a moment: "... Then next March, I still have two more drama appointments!"

"Okay, then I'll go out first..."

β€œβ€¦ Are you going out now?"

"Oh, there's an interview..."

Push open the door, and the sun is just right outside...

……

Walking onto the street, it is obvious that there are very few people at the Venice Film Festival, and all of them are journalists!

It's really declining...

Italy's home market is shrinking, the number of visitors is shrinking, the stars are dim...

Marco MΓΌller stepped down, leaving behind a movie palace unfinished, and the new head Barbera, who preferred the artistry and purity of film, happened to catch up with the rise of the Toronto Film Festival and the aftermath of the economic crisis in Europe.

The most sold movie tickets at this year's Venice Film Festival is "Untouchable", which is the opening film, with ten screenings arranged, and the average pre-sale is close to one-fifth...

In this era, such pre-sales are really low enough, but the pre-sales of other films are even worse, with an average of not even one-fifteenth of pre-sales.

Compared to Cannes, which was packed, this scene was indeed a bit sad.

This is also the embarrassment of European films, if you want to be different from Hollywood, you have to take the vanguard route, but well, ordinary audiences have been absorbed by Hollywood, so what to do?

can only go against the audience...

It's not the same road with the audience, it's destined not to go far...

In later generations, Venice not only rejected Hollywood, but also had a bad relationship with the mainstream Chinese film market...

Gee...

Zhang Junsheng wore a blue casual suit, which was not eye-catching in the crowd, but he was still recognized.

"Junsheng!"

Zhang Junsheng turned around: "... Why are you here?"

The person who came was Zhou Xing, and after thinking about it seriously, Zhou Xing didn't seem to bring a movie to Venice...

"I flew to find you!"

β€œβ€¦ Can't you talk to me on the phone?"

"The phone... I can't tell, let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly!"

β€œβ€¦ Let's talk while walking, the reporter from "People" is still waiting for me in the restaurant in front!"
