"Why are there so few people?"

Zhou Jianhao looked at the sparse audience in the movie theater and found that there were less than forty percent of the people sitting in the huge screening hall, and he was a little worried about whether the film would win the award in the end.

Alessandro, an Italian man sitting next to him, heard Zhou Jianhao's words through an interpreter at this time, and said with a smile: "Zhou, please don't worry too much, there is no clear new director, and often need to go through such a situation, which has nothing to do with the final film awards, it's just that your film still needs to accumulate fame." ”

Alessandro was one of the judges who represented the organizing committee for the premiere of "Black Gold".

In recent years, he has dealt with a lot of Chinese filmmakers, and he knows Zhou Jianhao's mentality very well, so he comforts people and is also very familiar with the road.

Yu Jing and several supporting characters in "Shocking Black Gold" sat down one after another, and they were also a little worried on their faces.

Peng Yichen could see it, he patted Yu Jing's hand and said with a smile: "We are just here to see the world this time." Whether the film can win awards or not can be regarded as showing its face in front of European audiences. Now there are more than 100 people coming to see it, and I think it's pretty good. ”

Alessandro glanced at Peng Yichen in surprise, and just as he was about to speak, he saw several foreigners walk into the hall and sit down in the front row.

He hurriedly got up and walked over with Zhou Jianhao and Peng Yichen.

Alessandro introduced the identities of Peng Yichen and Zhou Jianhao to Peng Yichen and Zhou Jianhao, both of whom are European film companies, including France, Germany, Denmark and other countries.

Although these studios have known for a long time that "Black Gold" has been nominated for four awards at the festival, they still plan to watch the film before considering whether to buy it.

"Shocking Black Gold", a very ironic literary film, has not been very popular in the foreign film market.

After all, if this kind of film is divorced from the environment of the country, the irony and profound connotation of the film will be greatly reduced.

You can't expect European audiences to learn about the island, and for these audiences, it's natural to have a very big diaphragm for a film like "Black Gold".

If the movie wins the grand prize in the end, it can naturally be sold by relying on the bonus of the award.

But if the film doesn't win any awards, the market prospects in Europe will become very slim.

This is also the most scruple of these European filmmakers.

After these filmmakers were seated, Alessandro also took Peng Yichen and Zhou Jianhao to sit in his own seats.

The premiere of "Shocking Black Gold" officially began at this time.

There were no hot shows, no interviews, and the first moment the premiere began, the movie reflection machine was turned on.

The lights in the screening room went out instantly, and the big screen slowly lit up.

The first to appear is the opening of "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond" of Chen Jing Studio.

The opening film, which is full of the artistic conception of Chinese ink painting, aroused a trace of interest from the audience.

Next, a tiger roaring on the top of the mountain appeared on the screen, which was the opening of the film company established by Zhou Jianhao.

At this time, the picture suddenly changed to the picture of the Bend Island News, which roughly introduced the social background of the movie.

In this paragraph, Peng Yichen specially edited a relatively long opening to introduce it, which was for foreign audiences.

Let them understand the context of the environment in which the film takes place as quickly as possible.

Then Peng Yichen appeared on the screen with a leisurely face, he was just sitting on the sofa, but all the audience could see that he was a person who was not easy to mess with.

At this time, through the large floor-to-ceiling windows behind Peng Yichen, the audience can easily see the entire urban scene of Taibei.

A few foreigners let out an exclamation, they obviously didn't expect that there would be such a prosperous place in Huaxia.

Peng Yichen glanced at them and couldn't help frowning.

In the minds of many Westerners, China is still a backward agricultural country.

Therefore, they usually like to see movies that reflect the backwardness and ignorance of China.

This is the result of a long period of demonization and propaganda of China by the Western media, often referred to as "imaginary Chineseism".

In the eyes of these Westerners, if the streets of China's cities are full of bicycles, there are no high-rise buildings except for low, dilapidated houses.

The reason why the first scene of "Shocking Black Gold" surprised them was because these scenes had too many conflicts with the Huaxia they knew in their hearts.

As the plot of the movie slowly unfolds, Zhou Chaoxian, played by Peng Yichen, has entered the political arena step by step from a social league boss.

The film shows Western audiences the whole process of a community boss evolving into a qualified politician.

These contents are very much in line with the expectations of the Italian audience, after all, this was also a country where mafia was rampant.

By the time Peng Yichen said "Who is for and who is against?", Peng Yichen even heard the whistles of several young audiences.

Obviously, the kind of domineering and ruthlessness he performs is completely acceptable to these foreign audiences.

Looking at the ruthless, domineering, and dark Zhou Chaoxian on the screen, Peng Yichen felt wonderful and strange.

This is the first time he has played this kind of negative emotional villain, and until now he still has the violence and domineering in the heart of this Zhou Chaoxian character, but he has been suppressing it very well and has not let others find out.

The camera Zhou Chao first reached the pinnacle of his life step by step, and the film's satire on the society of the bent island also reached its peak......

In the last scene, when Zhou Chaoxian was arrested by the Investigation Bureau and put into the interrogation room, he methodically stated the reason why he would definitely be released.

That feeling made the foreign audience's hairs stand up.

Looking at the shocked and surprised expressions on their faces, Peng Yichen felt that another inexplicable achievement had arisen.

This is the impact that performance can bring to the audience, and for actors, this is a sense of accomplishment that nothing can compare, because Peng Yichen is not a model person, but really creates a classic screen image.

He created Zhou Chaoxian, created the life of this social group boss, created his joys, angers and sorrows, and created him domineering, ruthless, and cunning.

From the moment the movie was released, this was no longer just a movie image, but a living life, flesh and soul closely related to Peng Yichen.

This feeling made Peng Yichen's life seem to have received some kind of nourishment, and this feeling made him tremble and his blood boiled.

This is what he pursues, acting, great acting, which can sublimate the life of an actor.

The movie was over in no time.

Most foreign audiences are still ignorant of the film's satire and connotation, but Peng's performance gives them a sense of growing up as a dangerous person.

In their hearts, Peng Yichen's performance is what this movie is all about.

Therefore, at the end of the movie, most of the audience still gave the film a warm applause.

A few viewers also came over and gave Peng Yichen a thumbs up.

But soon most of the audience was gone, and apparently for them, it was just an ordinary club movie.

Only a few Chinese reporters are still holding on, and this movie is undoubtedly a classic movie for them.

But unfortunately, this time the attitude towards this film is very vague, and these reporters came to Venice only to be prepared.

So they didn't ask questions around Peng Yichen and Yu Jing like those reporters in the past.

Just a simple understanding of the filming process of the movie, they left one after another.

Sitting in the middle of the theater, several filmmakers got up to leave, and Zhou Jianhao followed behind them with a translator to continuously promote their own films.

It seems that in Zhou Jianhao's heart, the importance of this movie far exceeds Peng Yichen's estimate.

The film festival premiere of "Shocking Black Gold" ended in a cold atmosphere.

But Peng Yichen didn't care too much about this situation, after all, it was a surprise for him to come to the Venice Film Festival this time.

It was with this mentality that he completely let go of his burden, and in the next few days, he took Yu Jing to wander around the major attractions in Venice, as if he was really here to travel.

Visit the attractions every day, eat snacks, and relax.
