In August, the Chinese entertainment industry suddenly erupted like a volcano that had been dormant for many years, and the conflict and termination of the contract between artists and agents became a hot topic in the entertainment industry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info First of all, Huang Shengyi and Xinghui Gong broke up peacefully and joined Rong Xinda, which caused heated discussions;

The breakup of Zhou Xun and Rong Xinda not only caused heated discussions in the media, but also triggered a tearing war between Zhou Xun fans and Zhang Jingchu's fans on the Internet. Because some netizens broke the news in Tianya that Zhou Xun ran away because he and Zhang Jingchu failed to compete for the first sister of Rong Xinda, and ran away in a negative mood. Some people are also breaking the news that Zhang Jingchu suppressed Zhou Xun because she was Zhang Ran's girlfriend. So, the two fans tore up, P pictures, nicknames, explosions, and all means were used.

In the end, Zhou Xun and Zhang Jingchu had to come out to refute the rumors, there was nothing at all, and the two had a good relationship. Zhang Jingchu also posted a photo with Zhou Xun on her blog, in which the two were intimate and smiling like flowers.

The termination of the contract has not stopped, and another shocking news has detonated the entire entertainment industry. Wang Jinhua, known as the No. 1 agent in the mainland, is leaving Huayi and will join Orange Sky Entertainment, a subsidiary of Japan's NEC. The chain reaction of her resignation will be that many artists under Huayi will follow her to the new owner, including Chen Daoming, Hu Jun, Liu Jialing, Liang Jiahui and dozens of artists to jump ship.

According to an industry insider who has a close relationship with Huayi Brothers, the trigger for Wang Jinhua's departure was that the filming of "Night Banquet" did not use any artists under her company. Because the movie "Night Banquet" has to take the international route, there was a lot of debate within the company when choosing the actors. They already have big names like Li Binbin and Fan Binbin, but in the end, the Wang brothers chose Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun.

This is not easy for Huayi Brothers to be a big earthquake, and it is also the largest collective job hopping in the history of the mainland entertainment industry. The media are exclaiming that "Huayi has been hollowed out", and Wang Zhongjun, who has always been known for his calmness, rarely released cruel words: "It's almost the same if I'm gone, Huayi can be without anyone!"

Many people think that Orange Sky, which holds a lot of money, will rise rapidly, and the pattern of the mainland entertainment industry is likely to be rewritten. But Zhang Ran knows that although Huayi's artists are almost hollowed out, Huayi's most important resource, Feng Xiaogang, is still there, Huayi's star-making mechanism is still there, and they can quickly cultivate new stars. In fact, Wang Jinhua's departure is a bad thing in the short term, but it is a good thing in the long run.

However, Zhang Ran is not in the mood to care about Huayi and Orange Sky, the Venice Film Festival is about to open, and he has to prepare for going to Venice.

On August 29, Zhang Ran set off for Venice with the main creator of the crew, accompanied by Jia Niliang, Cao Bingkun, Wang Junyi, Zhang Zichen, and Bai Ling. Zhang Ran originally wanted all the students in the class to go, but finally gave up. Now the students are busy filming, and they are not starring, so there is no point in letting them go to Venice.

On the plane, Zhang Ran met Sun Honglei and Jiang Yan. They are the stars of "Seven Swords", which is the opening film of the festival, and they must rush to Venice to meet the crew as soon as possible.

In the previous life, Jiang Yan was always pressed by Zhang Jingchu in movies because of her similar style to Zhang Jingchu. She and Zhang Jingchu have competed for many roles, from "Peacock" to "The Bride with a Flower Waist", "Aromatic Journey", and "Red River", and each time she lost to Zhang Jingchu. In this life, all these dramas fell on her head, and now she is a popular little flower, and her momentum is above Huang Shengyi. Some media even predicted that she would become another Chinese actress who went international after Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Jingchu.

The flight landed at Marco Polo Airport, Zhang Ran and they walked down from the VIP passage, and before they had taken a few steps, Mark Muller walked up and gave Zhang Ran a bear hug.

Mark Muller patted Zhang Ran on the back: "My dear friend, welcome to the Venice Film Festival!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Chairman Ma, you seem to be fat?"

Mark Mueller shrugged his shoulders: "My heart is wide and fat, this year is the 100th anniversary of Chinese films, I am so happy." As soon as I was happy, I ate as hard as I could, and as a result, I gained weight!"

Zhang Ran laughed, he can pull this guy, he introduced the students in the class to Mark Mueller: "Lao Ma, this is the movie starring Jia Niliang, Cao Bingkun, Wang Junyi, Zhang Zichen, this is the heroine Bai Ling." Children, this is Mark Muller, the chairman of the Venice Film Festival, who is admired by everyone, you can call him Lao Ma or Chairman Ma!"

Jia Niliang shouted in a fartful voice, "Hello Chairman Ma!" and the other students also applauded.

Jiang Yan and Sun Honglei pushed their luggage and walked outside, and when they saw Zhang Ran laughing with the students in the class and the chairman of the film festival, they were very envious, and the chairman of the film festival personally went to the airport to greet them, which is too high!

Zhang Ran and Mark Muller exchanged a few words and walked outside together. As soon as they walked out of the airport gates, they were surrounded by hundreds of Chinese and foreign journalists.

The flash flashed wildly, and even behind the sunglasses, Jia Niliang felt that his eyes were stabbed. This is the first time that Jia Niliang and they have faced such a hot and lively scene like this, and the heart-rending shouts are really impressive.

Jia Milk Liang and the others have never faced such a scene, they are both nervous and excited, and they don't seem to be very comfortable. Zhang Ran was not surprised, waved at everyone with a smile, and then walked towards the dock.

After arriving at Lido Island by boat and settling down in the hotel, Zhang Ran took a few students to Venice for a walk. It was not the first time he had been to Venice, and he became a tour guide as a passer-by.

On the evening of August 31, the 62nd Venice International Film Festival kicked off at the Palais du Cinéma. In order to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Chinese films, the organizing committee set off fireworks and performed a dragon dance performance. As one of the three oldest film festivals in the world, the Venice Film Festival has for the first time turned the opening ceremony into a Chinese night.

Four of the 19 films in competition at this year's festival are American films, starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Anthony Hopkins, Kate Winslet, etc., and seven of the 18 films in the screening section are American films, starring Russell Crowe, Renee Zellweger, etc. I don't know whether to give face to the Chinese army or not to Venice, none of the big Hollywood names appeared at the opening ceremony.

Due to the collective absence of Hollywood stars, the entire red carpet looks bleak, Chinese filmmakers have become the most beautiful scenery on the red carpet, and the entire opening ceremony has also become a grand festival in the Chinese film industry.

The crew of "Seven Swords", which was the first to appear, murdered a lot of photojournalists on film, and in the net of flashes intertwined, the film's starring Zhen Zidan, Jin Suyan, Sun Honglei, Yang Caini, Jiang Yan, etc. appeared one after another. Sun Honglei, who is good at funny, was the first to be interviewed by an Italian reporter, and at the request of the host, he actually practiced kendo and compared several martial arts moves in the film, attracting many eyes to follow.

Few European and American movie fans can call Jiang Yan, Kim So-yeon and Yang Caini by name, but the unique dignified and elegant beauty of the three oriental actresses still makes them praise.

Wu Yusen's appearance was a little unexpected, and no one expected him to appear here. Photographers frantically took pictures, and fans screamed. Ang Lee's momentum is not as good as John Woo, although Ang Lee has many awards, but the films are all literary films, and there are relatively few fans who know him. But after "Broken Arm Mountain" won the Oscar, John Woo was no match for him.

The most enthusiastic scene of the entire red carpet ceremony was after Zhang Ran led the crew of "Three Fools" to the stage, and the whole scene resounded with deafening cheers and screams.

Zhang Ran is still wearing a black suit today, with a warm smile on his face, which looks very warm. And Bai Ling, who was standing beside him, was wearing a Chinese-style dress customized by Guo Pei today, a royal blue cheongsam-style floor-dragging evening skirt, an off-the-shoulder skirt collar evolved from the streamers of ancient ladies, and a beautiful princess-style waist seal was also sewn with delicate patterns.

Jia Niliang and the four boys were also wearing crisp custom suits, and they all learned to look like Zhang Ran, waving to the surrounding audience with a smile. Jia Niliang is crazy, and he feels very hilarious, but in fact, the smiles of the three boys are a little stiff, and their movements are also a little stiff, which looks very jerky.

The crew of "Three Fools" has infinite scenery, especially Zhang Ran and Bai Ling murdered a lot of films. However, they did not stay long on the red carpet and walked relatively fast. In fact, Jia Milk Liang wants to stay longer, this is the red carpet in Venice, Dora style! It's just that Zhang Ran has already left, and he can't stay and follow closely.

Walking across the red carpet and walking to the door of the movie palace, Zhang Zichen said awkwardly: "Teacher Zhang, I want to go to the toilet!"

Zhang Ran rolled his eyes and said, "It's useless!"

Bai Ling blushed and said, "I want to go too!"

Zhang Ran was speechless: "Okay, come with me!"

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the opening ceremony of the film festival officially began, and the host Spanish actress Inés Sastre won the warm applause of thousands of people in the entire Cinema Palace with a "Happy 100th birthday to Chinese films!"

The Chinese film crew and Chinese filmmakers present were very excited in their hearts, and they were silently wishing: "Happy birthday, Chinese film!"

The opening ceremony of the festival was as simple as ever, with the introduction of the jury, the presentation of the participating films, and then the opening film.

This year's opening film "Seven Swords" is based on Liang Yusheng's "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain", the story is a good story, but Xu Ke smashed it. Except for Xu Ke in the beginning of the movie, you can see the past, the whole movie is almost out of control, the editing is very messy, as if it was rushed out of a hurry, and what's worse is that as an action movie, the scenes are not exciting, and it makes people drowsy.

In the last life, when Zhang Ran watched "Seven Swords", he was still reading dramas, and at that time he couldn't figure out how Xu Ke, who was once extremely sharp, could shoot so clumsily. Now Zhang Ran knows what Xu Ke's problem is, he, like himself, has lost his feelings. After "Shushan", Xu Ke fell into a low ebb, "Black Man 2", "Seven Swords", he got out of the low ebb until 5 years later in "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire".

After "Tongtian Empire", Xu Ke began to slowly rejuvenate, but the nine-year low tide period still wiped out too many things, and it was difficult to see the whimsical and unbridled talent of the past in him.

Zhang Ran was sad for Xu Ke, and at the same time glad that he saw Bergman, he lit a lamp for himself, and if there is a lamp, there is a direction.

The day after the opening, the headlines of major domestic newspapers and websites were covered by the same news.

"Zhang Ran, Li An, Xu Ke, Wu Yusen appeared, and the four giants of Chinese films unveiled Venice"

"The Venice Film Festival Chinese Film Festival Begins with Chinese Films, Chinese Films Lead the Film Festival"

Without exception, the pictures accompanying the newspaper are all photos of Zhang Ran smiling and waving to the audience.

Although Zhang Ran has already won the Golden Lion Award last year, the possibility of winning the Golden Lion Award again this year is almost none, but there are still opportunities for other awards. As the only seedling of Chinese films in the main competition unit, in the ******** of Chinese films, countless people have pinned their hopes of winning awards on "Three Fools". (To be continued.) )
