Chapter 183: Invitation
"Oh, buy the copyright?" It's kind of funny. The main purpose of Gu Wenwu www.biquge.info's participation in the film festival this time is not to sell movies, but people took the initiative to come to the door, so it is not impossible to get the overseas copyright matter done by the way.
Thinking of this, Gu Wenwu said to Xiao Zhang: "Okay, I know about this, you tell them that I have something to do this morning, so make an appointment to meet and talk in the afternoon." ”
He will also go to the screening of "Song of Long Hatred" later, so he will definitely not be able to see them now, and by the way, he can also sharpen the temperament of these people.
"I know, Mr. Gu, then I'll go and tell them about it." Zhang nodded and turned to leave.
In the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, Sanders and several other film and television buyers were staring at each other with wide eyes, and the atmosphere was a little weird. The front desk lady looked at these people, for fear that they would fight. Since most of the hotel stays during the film festival, many of them are celebrities, so the entry and exit of non-occupants is still relatively strict. Just like these five people, if they want to see Gu Wenwu, they can only call from the front desk, and because Xiao Zhang is proficient in English and Italian, he is responsible for handling these chores, and the phone calls at the front desk are also called to Xiao Zhang's room.
Seeing Xiao Zhang coming down, the five of them got up one after another, wondering what Gu Wenwu's response was. After Xiao Zhang conveyed Gu Wenwu's original words, the five of them were disappointed, but they were a little lucky, fortunately, Gu Wenwu was not available now, otherwise in the current situation, if they really want to fight, it is unknown who will kill the deer, and even if they buy it, the price will be far greater than imagined.
Sanders discussed it with Duke and got up to leave. The remaining three, you look at me, I look at you, and finally left one after another.
After Gu Wenwu and his entourage finished breakfast, they set off to the SalaDarsena Cinema, where "Song of Long Hatred" began to be screened at nine o'clock, and the time was completely in time.
The distance from the hotel to the Sala Darsena cinema is not far, and the group is there quickly by rental. When the group arrived at the theater, the people who had been waiting at the door early immediately won.
"Director Gu, Director Guan has been waiting for a long time, let's go in first." When the man had finished speaking, he led the way before his head. Gu Wenwu followed him noncommittally, and the group came to a room under his leadership, everyone in the crew of "Song of Long Hatred" was there, and Guan Jinpeng was discussing this with a foreigner who was wearing a theater overalls.
"Director Guan, Director Gu is here." The man who led the way walked in front of Guan Jinpeng and said.
Hearing this, Guan Jinpeng said a few last words to the foreigner, who nodded and turned to leave. Guan Jinpeng set his eyes on Gu Wenwu and his party at this time.
"Director Gu, welcome, hurry, please sit, don't stand, let's all sit." Guan Jinpeng said enthusiastically.
Guan Jinpeng is a famous literary film director in Daxia, since he has been engaged in the directing industry, he has shot many famous films, and award-winning records abound, although he has not stepped into the super line, but he is also famous among first-line directors. This person's connections in the circle are also very deep, and he has cooperated with many big names. This time in "Song of Long Hatred", the heroine is Zheng Xiuwen, and there are four male protagonists, namely Hu Jun, Su Yan, Wu Yanzu and Huang Lei. Originally, Liang Jiahui's role was replaced by Huang Lei.
After Gu Wenwu and his entourage sat down, the two crews greeted each other, and saw Guan Jinpeng and said with a smile: "Director Gu, I'm glad that you can come to participate in the screening of my movie, in fact, I invite you to come this time, and there is another purpose, that is, I am going to hold a party tonight, and invite all the Daxia people who participated in this Venice Film Festival to participate together, let's get together together, how about it?" ”
"Gathering, no problem, I'm happy to discuss and communicate with all the seniors, and you can say whatever time and place you want." Gu Wenwu readily agreed. Although he is a quiet person, it is very good to have such a party in a foreign country. Besides, Guan Jinpeng sincerely wanted to invite, if he refused, wouldn't it be too arrogant.
"Director Guan, do you mean that Director Wu Yusheng will also come?" Liang Jiahui said suddenly.
On September 2nd, Wu Yusheng brought his work "Shuangshuang and Kitten" to be screened at the Venice Film Festival. This work is a short children's movie, although it was not shortlisted for any unit, but because of the name of director Wu Yusheng, it attracted a lot of audiences and attracted a lot of media reports.
"Of course, I invited him a long time ago, and he said he would be there in the evening." Guan Jinpeng Road.
I heard that Wu Yusheng would participate in this party, and everyone present had different thoughts, but everyone was an actor and didn't show it. Gu Wenwu didn't feel much. Wu Yusheng has not yet returned to China to develop, although he is thriving in Hollywood, but it does not have much impact on him, but with his participation, tonight's party will definitely be more interesting.
Everyone chatted about each other, but it didn't seem so dull. After chatting for a long time, someone came in again, it turned out that the time for the screening was coming, and the staff of the theater came to remind them.
"Let's go." Guan Jinpeng was the first to get up, and the group followed him into the screening hall. At this time, there were already audiences entering the venue one after another. Gu Wenwu took a general look, there were not many people, and the screening was about to start, but the attendance rate at this time was only fifty percent. Compared with "Fireworks in the Day", it is much weaker.
The movie "Song of Long Hatred" is adapted from a novel of the same name, which tells the story of the life of a legendary beauty and four men in Mingzhu. Guan Jinpeng's film style is mostly delicate, and this film is no exception, but at the same time delicate, it also combines people, cities and time, reflecting a different kind of vicissitudes of beauty.
Of course, there are drawbacks. For example, Zheng Xiuwen, as a Xiangjiang person, has not been able to interpret the smoky and flattering behavior of the Pearl woman, and the Pearl woman will leave a room for herself no matter how extreme the situation is, but Zheng Xiuwen's performance seems to be a little too violent. Before, Gu Wenwu also saw that some media in the Great Xia Kingdom said that Zheng Xiuwen had hope of impacting the queen this time, but looking at it this way, Gu Wenwu felt that there was not much hope.
In addition to the problem of the actors, the whole story is not so compact, it seems to be a little procrastinating, and it is quite a kind of old master talking to himself. There is also a bit of a stiffness in the combination of characters and the city, which is really difficult for foreign viewers who have never been to the Pearl City to understand.
After watching the whole movie, Gu Wenwu will have a lot of ideas, but what he really says must be the one he chooses, and he is not stupid.
After watching "Song of Long Hatred", Gu Wenwu and Guan Jinpeng made an appointment to meet again in the evening, and then said goodbye to the crew of "Song of Long Hatred". Since it was still early, the group went straight back to the hotel. As soon as Gu Wenwu walked into the lobby of the hotel, he saw two people rushing over, blocking in front of him, spit out a series of words in his mouth, speaking quickly and quickly, with Gu Wenwu's strength of English level 4, he was stunned and only heard a few words such as "MR. Gu, Holle".
"What the hell?" Gu Wenwu took a step back, looking at the two people in front of him, feeling a little inexplicable. At this time, Gu Wenwu saw Xiao Zhang and hurriedly ran over to explain the situation to Gu Wenwu: "Mr. Gu, they are the people I told you before that I wanted to see you, this is Sanders, this is Duke, they all represent a film and television company." ”
