Chapter 161: Encountering 'China Black'!
The stars shine brightly in Venice on September 10th.
Domestic stars include Gao Yuanyuan, Zhang Ziyi, Liu Jie, etc., Hong Kong, Wu Zhenyu, Louis Koo, To Qifeng and so on.
There are countless world-renowned stars, such as Anne Hathaway, Cliff Owen, Lindsay Lohan, Christine Slater, Helen Mirren, Scarlett Johansen, Josh Hartnett, Sandra Bullock, Ben Affleck, Adrien Brody, Diane Layley, Chelle Weisz and many more.
Since Wang Meng was reported to have received a cold reception some time ago, Wang Meng has dreamed a lot and seen a lot.
On the red carpet of the awards ceremony, every time white European and American stars appeared, the tsunami-like shouts were continuous, and the photo shoots were endless.
Wang Meng, Jia Zhangke and others were honored to receive the 'warm' treatment again.
Even if they are shortlisted for the Golden Lion Award.
Of course, there are also those who are very popular with the group, and the journalists in China are very excited.
"Director Wang, Director Jia, please stay."
"Wang Dao ......"
"Jia Dao......"
The obligation of celebrities to walk the red carpet when being interviewed by reporters and taking photos, Wang Meng and others are inevitably vulgar.
"Director Wang, do you have confidence in the competition for the Golden Lion Award this time?" The reporter asked, and it was not an ordinary reporter, it was CCTV.
No wonder no one dared to grab the first opportunity to interview.
"Although nomination is success, participation is victory. But we are very confident about the final Golden Lion. Strive not to disappoint domestic fans, our films are excellent. Wang Meng looked very confident and talked eloquently to the camera.
"What do you think of Director Wang's kneel to Zhang Ziyi twice for the chairman of the Venice International Film Festival? Do you think this is the rise of Chinese cinema? Are Chinese films becoming more and more popular internationally? The reporter asked.
The topic of the festival's president, Mark Muller, has been in the limelight lately, and the international chapter has made a name for it.
Although Italians are known for their enthusiasm and funny, this worship can still show Zhang Ziyi's popularity abroad.
What's more subtle is that Zhang Ziyi went to attend the premiere of "Night Banquet", and after this visit, people can only see Miss Zhang, and it seems that they have forgotten the movie "Night Banquet" itself, which may not be Feng Xiaogang's original intention.
The Chinese film industry has adopted a "star face" system for many years, which means that the so-called "stars" are either the director's queen or kill all screens.
For example, Ge You, his face will appear in all the movies directed by Feng Xiaogang, from bastard to host, from thief to uncle.
This is the first step, and if you become an international superstar, then this face will appear in all the films of all directors.
For example, Zhang Ziyi's "Jasmine Blossom", one person plays the triangle, and the director seems to not know that there are other actresses in China.
The benefits of adopting a "celebrity face" system can be seen at the Venice Film Festival, and the 'Chairman's bow's visit fully illustrates this problem.
For him, there are probably only two actresses in China, the first is Ms. Gong Li, and the second is Miss Zhang Ziyi.
The disadvantage is also obvious, that is, the star is more powerful than the movie. While people are chasing superstars, they forget that stars are supposed to depend on movies.
As a result, the celebrity face system is maintained, and investors are unwilling to take risks on new actors, so that we will always change those faces on the screen.
This worship has made domestic fans' negative feelings for Zhang Ziyi grow, too young, too famous, too rich, and she is also an actress.
In China, Zhang Ziyi's popularity is far less than that abroad, because several blockbusters she has performed in have received rave reviews in China, especially starring in "Memoirs of a Geisha", which has brought this disgust to a peak.
Although the direct consequences of this worship are not discernible at present, some people have already commented: -- The old man has tripped up.
As for why CCTV asked like this, it is nothing more than a question of the main theme, and CCTV has always liked to do this. I can't wait for the reports to say that the country is beautiful and the people are happy.
Wang Meng thought about it for a while and said: "With the development of my country, I believe that China will receive more and more attention, not only in terms of films, but also in terms of common progress at multiple levels. ”
Wang Meng will not be stupid enough to praise the international chapter, because he knows that the international chapter will be scolded for this, if he praises the international chapter at this moment, then wait to be scolded later, sooner or later it will inevitably have the reputation of 'Wang Meng kneeling and licking the international chapter'.
So I had to choose to say good things about the country, and I didn't say anything about the international chapter.
However, Wang Meng also felt helpless at this point, there are too many trolls in the country, a woman can get such a big reputation, not to mention how she got it, whether it is dark or dirty, Wang Meng feels that it is purely those who can't eat grapes and say sour.
Chinese people have long known that they love to fight in the nest, even if the international chapter is unbearable, it has also made some contributions to more people to know China, not to wash the floor, but to hope that there will be less boring complaints, and more meaningful things.
Wang Meng's answer can be regarded as giving face, if it weren't for CCTV's sake, Wang Meng wouldn't have said it so involuntarily, but Wang Meng's 'villain' side is like this.
If you can't shake yourself, you're absolutely honest. If you don't pose a threat to yourself, what if you don't bird?
After CCTV finished asking, some small media finally interjected: "May I ask Director Wang, how sure are you of winning the award, do you know that domestic fans are looking forward to it?" ”
This question and answer Wang Meng was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and compared it from this Venice International Film Festival, it was exactly the same as the previous life.
Wang Meng is already ninety percent sure that he will win the award, and the inertia of history can never be underestimated.
But he replied: "I dare not say how sure it is, but the greatest chance is definitely us." ”
This kind of answer is almost conclusive, but it is not thorough, and it can be explained no matter how it is.
Therefore, when the reporters heard it, they felt incredible, they didn't expect Wang Meng to be so sure, this cliff is good news.
If you win, it shows that you have vision, and if you don't win the award, you are bragging, and if you dare to brag, we will dare to report.
Suddenly......
"Haha...... Tiger, it's a flurry, bullshit...... Chinese, it's ridiculous......"
This sentence suddenly interjected was not good in an instant.
Whether it was Wang Meng or domestic reporters, they were instantly angry.
If you guess correctly (tiger, arithmetic, chaos, dance), it should be - gibberish.
Wang Meng and the others turned their faces to look, and a white press card looked at them mockingly......
