Chapter 379: Venice (3/5)
There is a kind of person who is particularly annoying and has done something wrong, and must be forgiven by the person concerned.
According to his logic, I apologized, what else do you want me to do?
The assumption in his heart is that as long as he apologizes, he should be forgiven...
Why should I forgive you when you apologize?
There is a sentence in "Bojack Horseman": You can apologize to me, but I can also choose not to forgive. If your apology is only for your own well-being, rather than genuinely feeling that you are wrong, then I will not forgive you either. Because no one has ever said so, an apology is bound to be forgiven.
If you encounter this kind of apology that you must forgive, this person is not the person you must contact in your life, from the perspective of personal limited energy, it is recommended to stay away from him.
The three views do not match!
In the next few days, Xu Yan and Wang Bo both called to apologize on behalf of Zhou Xing, saying 'he has realized his mistake'...
The popularity is really good!
However, Zhang Junsheng never responded positively, only said, 'Don't mention this person in front of me!'
Xu Yan originally wanted to be coquettish, but was frightened by Zhang Junsheng's tone...
originally wanted to cultivate a king of comedy, but they changed venues halfway.
Zhang Junsheng didn't say anything to block him, he had already given enough face, what else do you want?
……
couldn't stay in China anymore, Zhang Junsheng was ready to go abroad for a wave.
Just in time for the opening of the Venice Film Festival, this year, Yuehua has "The Sea of People" shortlisted for the main competition unit, and "No Other Love" shortlisted for the horizon unit.
Two films...
In fact, Yuehua wanted to apply for the main competition unit for both films at the beginning, but Zhao Wei's influence is not good abroad, "The Sea of People" is different, Cai Shangjun followed Zhang Yang to mix in various small awards in the early years.
For example, the Thessaloniki International Film Festival in Greece, the Nantes Three Continents Film Festival in France, and the Rotterdam International Film Festival in the Netherlands are the most orthodox film festival regulars, so don't look at "The Sea of People" is his second feature-length work, he is still quite famous at the European Film Festival!
and Zhao Wei, if he hadn't participated in "East Palace and West Palace" and "Green Tea" directed by Zhang Yuan, the Venice Film Festival would not have let Zhao Wei appear at all, after all, Venice is a cold artistic fan!
"The Sea of People" and "No Other Love", Zhang Junsheng has watched them all, "The Sea of People" belongs to the kind of movie that wins awards, and everyone may understand "A Journey to Hell on Earth" by changing the name: Lao Tieyuan, who returned to his hometown from work, planned to settle down in the depths of the mountains, but because his younger brother was killed, he began the road of "chasing the murderer for thousands of miles".
He rode a motorcycle through half of China, from Guizhou to Chongqing, to Inner Mongolia, and then to the black coal kiln in Shanxi, experiencing the heat of the world and the struggle of his own heart.
Very realistic work...
This movie can only sell copyrights, and whether it can be released in China or not is a matter of two words!
However, the production cost is less than 16 million, although the actors are all famous actors, such as Wang Bo, Xiao Taohong, Wu Xiubo, Zhang Yi, but they don't ask for much salary, mainly because they think this movie is interesting...
I can only say that many of our actors still treat movies as something worthy of respect...
As for "No Other Love", uh, it's a completely commercial romance film, the gardener unexpectedly meets the goddess of his dreams when he is at a low point in his life, and the long-suppressed emotions are quietly released, and then a love journey begins...
Zhang Junsheng probably watched it once, there is no problem with the narrative, and the scale is okay.
It's not very likely to win a prize, but it's not a small chance to be a big hit.
The film has been promoted in full swing, and half a month before its release, a large number of Weibo celebrities forwarded it, making full use of the star effect to create various related Weibo topics, 'There is a feeling called Zhao Wei, Huang Xiaoming'...
By the way, there is also a large number of film reviews circulating, arousing public curiosity.
Let's put it this way, the production cost of "No Other Love" is less than 45 million, and the marketing and promotion are close to 40 million!
In comparison, the promotion of "Thai Embarrassment" cost 20 million - not counting the additional ones added in the later period;
"You at the Same Table", 5 million publicity and promotion - 15 million were added in the later stage...
No accident, on the last weekend of August, "No Other Love" set a new box office record in 2D Chinese film history with a score of over 130 million in the first weekend...
……
The Venice Film Festival has been chaired by Marc Müller Sr., who has spent more than 20 years in power trying to shape the festival's unique personality: youth, art, the Third World.
And Down with Hollywood...
He is pro-China and very disgusted with Hollywood.
It is precisely because of this that Chinese films shine in Venice!
Twenty years ago, the Venice Film Festival was the cradle of Chinese film directors going international.
The Golden Lion Award, which likes to reward backwards, has a strong preference for art films with novel forms and unique techniques, which is very different from Cannes, which is keen on cultivating "descendants".
In 1989, Hou Xiaoxian won the Golden Lion Award for the first time with "City of Sadness", which became the "unprecedented" of Taiwanese films shining at the International Film Festival.
In 1991, "The Red Lantern Hangs High" won the Silver Lion Award, and Zhang Yimou's golden age in Venice began: "Qiu Ju Fights a Lawsuit" and "No One is Missing" won the Golden Lion Award twice!
In the new century, Li An also became the second Chinese-language director in history to win the Golden Lion Award twice with "Brokeback Mountain" and "Lust and Caution", and Jia Zhangke's "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" also showed a different China.
It's just that with the carnival of Chinese films marching towards the world's largest film market in the carnival of capital;
The Venice Film Festival is also overshadowed by the increasingly powerful Cannes and Toronto.
Uh, let's put it this way, the blanket stars are too lazy to go to Venice - when have you ever seen Fan Xiaopang running to the Venice Film Festival?
Two years ago, Mark Müller abdicated, and his successor was Alberto Barbera, an unlucky ghost...
As soon as he took office, he had to face two messes: one was the shadow of glory caused by the old chairman's too high qualifications, and the other was poverty.
For the former, Alberto Barbera has no opinion!
Art is art, Hollywood is Hollywood;
Well, he decided to add the Venice Film Festival Market...
Charge a booth fee!
The Toronto Film Festival trading market next door hits new highs every year, who comes to the water city on horseback?
There were only a pitiful 6 booths for international film companies...
2 of them are also from China...
The sea push department also has China Film...
Yuehua did not rent a booth.
In contrast, the Berlin and Cannes Marchés both have more than 10,000 registrations, coming from more than 100 countries around the world.
There are also benefits, there are not many people, Zhang Junsheng can walk out of the hotel in a bright light...
