Chapter Eighty-Three: Determining the Water City

Working with a great director is a plus in itself.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many Xiaosheng and Xiaohuadan as soon as they heard that it was Zhang Yimou's "The Great Wall", they immediately dropped what they were holding, even if they starred in a passer-by who only showed his face for a few dozen seconds, they were still happy!

(Lu Han, Wang Junkai, Chen Xuedong...) )

Now, Zhang Yimou's "Shadow" wants to find Li Ying to be the female number one, and Shen Lin must raise his hands in favor.

Zhang Yimou belched!

"However, after filming that scene, you can just stay for me!"

At the end, Shen Lin added.

"Why? I don't..."

Li Ying deliberately twisted Xiao Man's waist, and the next thing is that the daily life between husband and wife cannot be described.

……

On August 20, Shen Lin came to Los Angeles.

The address is the Warner Studios building.

Most of the filming locations of "La La Land" are in Warner Bros. Studios, and there is no way, if you want to recover the scenery and props of the eighties and nineties in the world, except for Warner Bros. Studios, which still retains the original flavor, it is difficult to find it elsewhere.

The film is already in the production process, and it is estimated that it will be a week before all the work is completed.

"We're talking about how we can make a name for ourselves!"

Bill Dorothy is worthy of the award-winning talent, and as soon as she speaks, it is the truth: "We should have selective PR at the Venice Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival!"

"When will the film be released?"

Shen Lin didn't answer this question, but asked a little curiously about the release date of "La La Land".

"The tentative plan is December 16. ”

Bill looked at the date before replying.

"Then both..."

Shen Lin pondered for a moment: "The audience of song and dance films is relatively small, especially in overseas regions, so we have to think of more ways to publicize, although Venice is a little declining, but after all, it is the oldest film festival in the world, and its influence is still there;

"It shouldn't be a problem, but this will inevitably weaken the possibility of "La La Land" winning the prize!"

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I'm just borrowing the reputation of Venice, and the most important PR is of course in North America..."

Shen Lin made no secret of his contempt for Venice.

In fact, it is true that the Venice Film Festival has not been lacking fan attention for a year or two, which is a problem that the Venice Film Festival has often encountered in the past ten years.

The Venice Film Festival has encountered a lot of troubles in recent years, Marco Muller stepped down, leaving behind a dilapidated building of the Cinema Palace, the new head Barbera prefers the artistry and purity of films, but happened to catch up with the rise of the Toronto Film Festival and the aftermath of the economic crisis in Europe, he wanted to revitalize the festival market, but found that no one bought it, internal and external troubles.

The shrinking European market and the sluggish Italian film industry could not save Venice from declining.

But this still does not prevent ordinary people from viewing the Golden Lion, which still has the reputation of the world's three major international film festivals.

Fortunately, the two major film festivals this year are barely staggered.

This year's Venice Film Festival will be held from August 31 to September 10, while the Toronto Film Festival's main competition will be held between September 8 and September 18.

"We just need to make sure that La Land can get some praise through Venice, and that's enough. ”

"There's no guarantee that La La Land will win. ”

Although there is basically room for the awards in the film industry, it is uncertain to win the award.

If "La La Land" wants to make a difference in commercial performance, it must think of more ways in terms of publicity, just like Shen Lin said, it is the most ideal situation in the plan to cause public opinion war on the other side of the Atlantic.

"Who are our main competitors?"

"Noah Oppenheim's 'The First Lady' and Tom Ford's 'Nocturnal Animals'. ”

“… Isn't it Natalie Portman's "The First Lady"?"

Shen Lin thought about it and seemed to have a little impression.

As for "Nocturnal Animals", it should be the work of Jake Gyllenhaal.

"Well, these two works are menacing, especially 'The First Lady,' Natalie Portman..."

"She's not playing, I can guarantee it!"

Before Bill Dorothy finished speaking, Shen Lin had already snatched the white.

It's true that Natalie Portman may be irreplaceable in the eyes of fans, but in the eyes of the judges, she is just like that.

debuted at the peak, and there were no particularly good roles after that, although "Black Swan" was good, but that was more of a role-building actor than a role praised by actors.

As for Jake Gyllenhaal, it can only be said that this little brother is unlucky, "Brokeback Mountain" did not win an award, and "Prisoner" did not win an award, it is estimated that this is another person who only nominates and does not win awards!

Hollywood and Oscar seem to like to play this trick very much, from Martin Scorsese to Little Plum, and now there is a tendency to spread to Matt's cuteness, and it is estimated that one day it will spread to Jake Gyllenhaal!

"So we're going to focus on Toronto?"

It was only then that Damien Chazelle began to speak.

It is estimated that in this heart, the sacred art of film should not be judged.

Shen Lin and Bill's approach must have made him a little uncomfortable.

"Well, but Venice is also going over, so let's go, I'll go, you stay in North America, and when the closing ceremony is over, I'll fly to Toronto and meet you again..."

Fortunately, there are two directors, otherwise it would be really embarrassing!

In my impression, it seems that although "La La Land" shocked the location of the entire water city, there doesn't seem to be any great award, by the way, Sister Shi won the best actress.

"Well, then I'll go see the later stages of the movie first..."

As he spoke, Damien exited the office.

Shen Lin and Bill Dorothy glanced at each other, they didn't say much, but they met each other's eyes, and they could still see the truest thoughts of the two people.

"Oh!

Yes, Damien Chazelle was born in 85, and "La La Land" is the second feature film he directed.

Such a director probably hasn't experienced the kidnapping of capital, and he doesn't know how to operate to make a movie look better!

In this world, behind any glamorous and glamorous must be the most unspeakable secret!

Bill Dorothy likes Shen Lin, not only because he can make good movies, but more importantly, he understands that Shen Lin is the same practical person as him.

And not those idealists.

"Then we've decided to go to Venice first, then Toronto?"

"Well, you let people promote it well, and the main publicity point is on the fact that I worked with Damien for the first time as a director!"
