Chapter 232: Long Time No See (2/5)
The film festival is actually very snobbish, and the less famous directors participate in the film festival, even if they are shortlisted for the main competition unit, the film festival is only responsible for the accommodation and air ticket costs of the director alone, and the round-trip is economy class, and the accommodation is also an economy hotel. And the rest of the personnel, even the leading actors, can only subsidize their own accommodation tickets, or find brand sponsorship.
Of course, Zhang Junsheng is different, he has already won two of the highest awards at the three major European film festivals!
And he's an Oscar-level director!
In addition, "Untouchable" is the biggest crew in the entire Venice Film Festival, so even if "Untouchable" is only a screening unit, the crew of the film festival Yi Jiuwei arranged the best hotel and covered the cost...
Even so, Xiao Lizi and Fei Wen still choose to stay at the nearby Redentore Hotel - except because of the small number of people, the most important thing is that the Redentore Hotel is forced to stay for nearly 30,000 euros a night...
Zhang Junsheng is not so particular, he stayed at the Excelsior Hotel...
……
Although the Venice Film Festival does not have the European Film Market, the first large-scale film market every year, and it is not like the Cannes Film Festival, which has the largest film market in the world, if Venice can make a start, it will also be very beneficial for the Toronto Film Festival and even the Oscars and other major awards, so in addition to the competition unit, there are still many stars who appear in Venice.
In addition to the crew of "Untouchable", the most popular among reporters is the crew of "Black Swan", and Natalie Portman is also here!
According to the usual practice, Zhang Junsheng hired a public relations company to handle the interviews, publicity and other matters of "Untouchable".
The reason why "Untouchable" was screened at the Venice Film Festival was also to expand its popularity in Europe.
Advocacy is essential.
Before the opening, Zhang Junsheng, Xiao Lizi and Wang Bo were interviewed by the movie channel, the host was Jingwei, and the questions asked were all old talk, introducing movies, and talking about their various feelings.
"Untouchable" is scheduled to be released in November, and China and the United States will start painting at the same time.
This interview with the movie channel can also be regarded as a publicity warm-up...
After Jingwei left, the people from Italian TV came over, followed by French TV, German TV...
No way, there are too many European countries ...
There were more than 20 media outlets to interview in the morning, and their interview time was fixed, usually 10 to 15 minutes, and the pace of the whole interview was very fast, basically one question after another.
Xiao Lizi is the focus of the reporter's interview, and most of the questions are directed at him, by the way, Feiwen, Zhang Junsheng, as for Brother Bo...
Even if he is already a Cannes actor, he is still not very recognizable in Europe.
In addition to Gonghuang, Manshen, plus Gecheng and International Chapter, Chinese actors in Europe are probably like this...
Don't think that European tours know us more, they don't even know where the capital of China is!
As for Zhang Junsheng, it is also normal, after all, he is a director and belongs to the behind-the-scenes staff!
I don't know if it's fate, at noon, the crew of "Untouchable" ended the interview and was about to go to a nearby restaurant to eat, when they met the crew of "Black Swan".
"It's been a long time since we've seen each other, I didn't expect us to meet here, Nat. ”
Zhang Junsheng smiled and extended his right hand to Natalie Portman.
Natalie Portman just touched it lightly and withdrew her hand, "I didn't expect that either." ”
After speaking, her eyes fell on the little plum behind Zhang Junsheng, and then she looked casual: "Where's Scarlett?"
“… She won't show up until the opening ceremony in the evening, and I haven't congratulated you yet, Black Swan is a good movie!"
"Thank you..."
Natalie Portman pulled Darren Aronofsky, who was standing next to her, and introduced: "This is the director of "Black Swan"..."
Zhang Junsheng shook hands with Darren Aronofsky with a smile: "Of course I know, don't forget, "Black Swan" is also a movie produced by the pinnacle!"
After working with producer Mike Madavoy on "Vulgar" last year, he joined the summit with "Black Swan" and "Robocop"...
"Have a bite to eat together?"
"No need, we still have a few more to put away!"
Natalie Portman rejected Zhang Junsheng's proposal, waved her hand and left...
Xiao Lizi deliberately stabbed Zhang Junsheng: "... What else do you see?
Obviously, he is the one who knows about the beep between Jang Junsheng and Natalie...
“… Do you think Hollywood actresses are sincere?"
"I don't know," Xiao Lizi shook his head: "Anyway, I haven't touched it!"
……
What is it like to be a female star.
Zhang Junsheng feels that he is very qualified to answer this question.
To put it bluntly, they are no different from ordinary women, the same collision of flesh and flesh.
There are no more magical organs.
Probably, technically, they will be a little more proficient than the average woman, but they are not at the professional level either...
It's just that there is a huge sense of conquest and pleasure.
It's a pity that Zhang Junsheng, who doesn't have multiple shadow clones, is really a little lacking...
……
During the meal, Fei Wen reminded in a whisper: "Natalie's reputation in the circle is not very good..."
“… It's okay, I don't have much contact with her!"
“… I heard that she is going to use pregnancy tactics for this Oscar!"
"Pregnancy tactics?"
Zhang Junsheng was a little confused... This... Is this tactical?
"She's Jewish!"
“So?”
Xiao Lizi interjected: "... You know, most of the Oscar judges are Jewish..."
“… I still don't understand this logical relationship, you can win the Oscar if you have a child? Leonardo, then you have no drama in your life!"
Xiao Lizi couldn't help laughing...
Fei Wen couldn't stand it anymore: "... If you see a pregnant woman still busy with PR, will you sympathize with her?"
“… You just say that you can use sympathy to get extra points!"
This thing Zhang Junsheng is too familiar, China is more miserable than the show, the strongest is more miserable...
"I'm a subway wandering singer who carries a guitar every day... But I have dreams!"
That's probably the way it goes...
"Everyone in the circle is hypocritical, but there are really few who can reach the level of Natalie Portman!"
"Okay, I got it!"
Zhang Junsheng nodded...
I really didn't expect Natalie to have such a bad reputation in the circle...
But her public image has always been very good, a real student - Harvard Psychology.
Some people say that Lao Liu also took the interview invitation of Yale University, and belongs to the hidden scholars; some people say that Da Mi Mi is a scholar; even Guan Xiaotong can be regarded as a scholar by solving a one-dimensional quadratic equation...
It can only be said that most of our entertainment industry is full of a group of stars who have little knowledge...
One-dimensional quadratic equations, the junior high school level is good!
"However, this year's Oscar for Best Actress may really be her!"
"Is Black Swan good?"
"You'll find out tomorrow!"
