702 【Film Festival Debut】

The finals of the 2nd Miss Asia beauty pageant have come to an end, and the beautiful Sun Yuewei from Singapore won the championship.

Wang Zijun was a little stunned when he received the list of competition results, he had never heard of this player called Sun Yuewei. I took the list of each division and looked through it, and finally found a surprise in the list of finalists in this division, and there was a player named Sakai Noriko.

However, it is a pity that Sakai only finished eighth in this division, and did not even qualify for the finals.

Wang Zijun called Yu Ben again, and was even more sure that this person was the real Sakai method, and now the fate of another star was changed.

It turned out that Noriko Sakai should have been discovered by a talent scout this year because of her participation in the beautiful girl image contest, and slowly embarked on the road of an artist. As a result, she didn't go to the beautiful girl image contest, but came to participate in the Asian sister beauty pageant.

Although in the end, due to age and academic reasons, Sakai Noriko did not officially sign a contract, but he still has a good relationship with the TV station that hosted the Asian sister competition, and will directly star in a youth drama in the second half of the year.

Just when the second Asian Sister Competition came to an end, Tu Zhongxun, the assistant director of "The Three Heroines of the East", took the main creative staff to Italy to participate in this year's Venice Film Festival.

In several major film festivals in Europe, the chances of commercial films winning awards are very small, unless the judges are faint with a high fever, it is impossible for "The Three Heroines of the East" to win awards at the Venice Film Festival. The purpose of the crew of "Three Heroines of the East" going to Venice is very clear, Tu Zhongxun is not rushing to win the award, but to promote the film.

Not only Lizhi, Yang Ziqiong and others followed, but even Chiba Shinichi and Kurata Hoaki, who were looking forward to entering the European and American film industry, also pushed down various announcements and went together.

The Venice Film Festival was the world's first international film festival, and in the 60s and 70s, it was the cradle of outstanding European directors. However, after entering the 80s, the Venice Film Festival began to decline, and its influence decreased a lot.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and no matter how good the Venice Film Festival is, it is still one of the best film festivals in the world. "The Three Heroines of the East" staggered the Cannes Film Festival due to the production time, and it was the first choice to promote it at the Venice Film Festival.

Most of the group were in Venice for the first time, but they didn't have time to play, so after a short break in the hotel, they started to set up a movie booth.

In the promotional poster of the booth, whether it is the movie title of "Three Heroines of the East" or the names of the three heroines, they are printed in a secondary position, and there are only a few English words in the core place - Zackery. Wang's works.

Wang Zijun's attraction is really not covered, in just half an hour, there are many people inside and outside the booth, including film companies from all over Europe.

Regarding "The Three Heroines of the East", the European entertainment media has long reported on it, and fans have stepped forward to ask when the film will be screened at the film festival.

At the booth, the three heroines wore well-designed dresses in Zijin's costumes, injecting a beautiful oriental color into this film festival full of Western faces. Rare things are expensive, entertainment reporters from all over the world who received the news ran over one after another, and the three beauties began to turn into film murderers.

The next day, the beautiful photos of the three oriental beauties appeared on the major entertainment pages in Europe. Beauty is likable everywhere, and through the allusion of "Charlie's Angel", the three beauties were soon called "Zachary's Angel" or "King's Angel" by European beauties.

The impact of this nickname is very far-reaching, not only the European and American translations of "The Three Heroines of the East" were changed to "The King's Angel" by the filmmakers, but this title even made Lizhi, Yang Ziqiong and Ella. Claudia's three daughters have been carrying them for decades.

Until ten years later, the "Three Heroines of the East" series has been released, and European and American fans may not be able to name the three women, but when they mention "Zackery's Angel", they will immediately reflect who is talking about who.

On September 8, "The Three Heroines of the East" was screened at the Venice Film Festival, and the name of the film was also changed to "The King's Angel" by Tu Zhongxun due to snobbery.

Fans from all over Europe walked into the screening hall, and more than ninety percent of them came in the name of Mu Wang Zijun. The few films that Wang Zijun shot back in Asia are now released in Asia, then in North America, South America, and finally in Europe. Fans of Wang Zijun in Europe often wait very hard, and they sometimes have to see the film even a year later than Asian audiences, but this time Wang Zijun's new film was screened at the Venice Film Festival early, which is a good opportunity to get a sneak peek.

Screenings of participating films during the festival are free of charge, and fans can apply for a fan card in advance. "The Three Heroines of the East", on the night of the release of the Venice Film Festival, the threshold of the cinema was broken, and the fans who arrived later could not enter even if they had a certificate, so they could only stand outside to protest and curse, and the madness made the young directors who participated in the film festival jealous.

A middle-aged couple in their thirties sat in the back of the middle of the screening room, and the husband turned to look at the audience who were being blocked out by the staff, and said to his wife, "It's good that we came early, otherwise we would have to wait at least a month to see Zachley's new film." ”

This couple, the man's name is Philip, and the woman's name is Emma, they are Wang Zijun's die-hard fans.

When they watched "Bloody Lonely City" in the beach cinema of the Cannes Film Festival, Wang Zijun had not yet given a foreign name at that time, and the opening of the film was directly typed with the Roman pinyin of the three characters "Wang Zijun".

More than ten years have passed, and the two have changed from boyfriend and girlfriend to husband and wife, and even children can play soy sauce. However, their interests have not changed, and they will go to visit after the opening of several major film festivals in Europe, but they didn't expect to meet Wang Zijun's new film here when they came to Venice this time.

"My dear, Zachary, I heard that the judges gave a very low score." Emma said with some concern, "Do you think this movie Zachary will be made up of par?" ”

Philip said, "No, you don't have to worry about it at all. It's normal to have a low score, because Zachary himself admitted that it was a commercial action movie through and through, and those judges never liked it. ”

"Let's hope Zachary doesn't disappoint." Although Emma is not averse to commercial blockbusters, her interest in commercial blockbusters is not as great as that of art films.

Before the film had even started screening, Emma suddenly had a question: "Why didn't Zachary's "ET" make it to the festival?" If "ET" competes for the film festival, it will definitely win the award. ”

Philip thought for a moment and said, "I think I guessed the answer." After "ET" debuted at the Cannes Film Festival, it began to be released in Europe one after another, and it was applauded and acclaimed, and it was just a few more trophies to participate in Venice, and it would also steal the limelight of this "Angel of the King", which would reduce the attention of "Angel of the King". ”

Emma sighed and said, "I can't imagine that Zachary would be so careful for the sake of the box office." ”

Philip was amused when he heard it, he, like his wife, was a loyal fan of Wang Zijun. Among Wang Zijun's movies, their favorites are "The Love of Ghosts", "The Shawshank Redemption", "Titanic" and "ET". "ET" is the most recent one, and Emma naturally thinks that it can win more awards, especially the Venice Golden Lion Award.

The two were chatting and waiting for the movie to start, when suddenly a fan in front of them suddenly became noisy, and the Philips looked up and immediately became excited.

I saw Tu Zhongxun leading the team in front and leading the main creative staff into the scene, and following behind, there was Monica, the actor of Rose, the heroine of "Titanic". Bellucci.

Monica. After starring in "Titanic", Bellucci became a Hollywood A-grade actress, and became a household name in Italy, the perfect goddess in the minds of many Italian men.

And this time, "The Three Heroines of the East" was screened at the Venice Film Festival, and Wang Zijun himself did not come, but he actually brought Monica. Bellucci got it.

Monica. Bellucci was wearing a long skirt with bursting breasts, which caused a stir as soon as she entered the venue. Tu Zhongxun looked at the posture, directly pinched what he was about to say, and handed the microphone to Monica.

Monica smiled at everyone and said, "Director Zachary has always been the person I respect the most, and I am very happy to be able to watch his new film release this time. The film will be released in major Italian cities from the 25th of this month, and the United Kingdom and France will be in the middle of next month, hoping that everyone will be able to enjoy it by then. ”

It wasn't a premiere, and there wasn't much time for Monica. After a brief speech, the film officially began to be screened.

"Oh, that's cool."

"I like the three angels of the East!"

"This is said to be my own extreme vacuum hand is so punctual, he must be a real master."

"Wow, the chick in the red kimono is really tasteful."

"The action is so gorgeous that I can't even blink when I see it."

“……”

Exclamations abounded, and this is the attitude of European audiences towards the film.

In the past, Wang Zijun also filmed "Food Truck" and "Bloody Heroes", which both have modern displays of Chinese kung fu. However, it is really gorgeous to the point of eye-catching, but it is still this "Three Heroines of the East".

A variety of well-designed fighting actions and bridges, coupled with the solid stretching of hands of the three daughters of Lizhi who have been trained for more than half a year, as well as the oriental elements deliberately added by Wang Zijun, mixed with modern guns, bring a new feeling to European audiences, just like the Chinese can fly when a foreigner watches "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" for the first time in parallel space.

It turns out that kung fu can still be played like this, and action movies can still be filmed like this!

Yes, this movie has no connotation at all, maybe in the eyes of some film festival judges, it is, but the fans in the screening room don't care about you, they just watch it.

Even Emma, an old fan who likes to watch art films, was attracted by the plot of the movie and substituted herself for the adventure of the three heroines.

"It's a great action movie, and it's rare to have a female protagonist!" After watching the movie, Emma commented in front of her husband.
