Chapter 542: "Zi Bu Silent" still holds the pipa
In the past two days, "Cold Heart" has been released again, and He Mu has also been in Toronto, being interviewed or participating in the screening ceremony of Chinese films, which can also bring some attention to these underappreciated Chinese films, after all, he is an international actor who came out of Montreal, Canada, and is also a little famous in Canada.
About two days later, "Zi Bu Yu", which was shortlisted for the "New Director Discovery Unit", finally waited for the theater and time period arranged by the organizer for her first and only public screening in Toronto, when Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei will cross the ocean to the scene, another Montreal actor, Fan Wei, who played the village chief in "Zi Bu Yu", will also come, as well as Hollywood star Joseph. Gordon and Scarlett. Johnson premiered.
Yesterday, He Mu just attended the premiere of "The Piano of Steel", and director Wang Meng, who was supposed to return to China today, deliberately stayed an extra day to see He Mu's "Zi Bu Si". For "The Piano of Steel", a film that also participated in the East Film Festival, He Mu's evaluation is very high, and even unceremoniously said that this is the best literary film he has seen in recent years, and the most important thing is that this is a literary film that is willing to tell stories in a down-to-earth manner.
Wang Meng saw Fan Wei busy calling "uncle", Fan Wei, Zhao Benshan and his father are friends, and his directorial debut "Ears are Blessed" was also completed with the support of Fan Wei, so he has always respected this uncle.
Although "Zi Bu Silent" is not a big hit movie. However, a small red carpet will be walked for the media to take pictures, Fan Wei and Wang Meng have nothing to photograph, and what really attracts attention is the beauty. In addition to Scarlett, there are two popular stars from China, Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi.
In order to show his attention to Shuangliu, He Mu personally took the arms of the two dressed beauties and walked on the red carpet, looking like a merry embryo who sat proudly in the spring breeze and enjoyed the blessings of all people. Even in the eyes of foreigners, they can see beauty in them, and at this moment, they are not only beautiful. It's simply amazing, the camera crackles and shines on them, and at this time they all wish that He Mu in the middle could disappear quickly, so as not to destroy the beauty. Liu Yifei's previous starring "The King of Kung Fu" did not make any waves in North America. She is still well-known in North America. And her agency is one of the best in the United States, and I believe that there will be reports about her in the newspapers soon, but the poems and poems that travel with her are afraid that they will not have this good luck, after all, she is almost not well-known in the United States and Canada, and she has no news value at all.
If it is in Asia, typing "He Mu's directorial debut" will definitely attract a large number of people to watch the excitement, and it is possible to block the cinema. But this is America after all, and He Mu's influence is still far behind. Compared with the excitement of the premiere of "Cold Heart" on the first day of the film festival, the premiere of "Zi Bu Si" seems a bit sluggish, the appearance of Scarlett and Joseph did attract many audiences and reporters to take pictures on the red carpet, but after entering the cinema, the onlookers dispersed like birds and beasts, and did not follow into the cinema to support, although the little girl on the poster looks cute, and the poster picture is also very beautiful, which makes people have a great desire to watch, but at the same time, there is a British hit movie "The King's Speech" being screened, Everyone was attracted by the stammering king, and they can only say regret for "Zi Bu Silent".
It doesn't matter if there are fewer people, everything is difficult at the beginning, and He Mu is not famous enough to make the media flock to him, he is already very satisfied to have so many audiences on the scene, so let's start watching movies now! Wang Meng stared at the screen tightly, Scarlett and Joseph were also waiting for it, compared to others, Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi had more expectations for their own performances, this was the first time they saw the official version of this movie, the first time they saw the performance in this film, Shishi also watched some clips in production, but Liu Yifei didn't even see a film.
After more than an hour passed, "Zi Bu Silent" entered the second half, He Mu looked around, and there was no sleep, at least it could show that this film would not be boring. After the playback, the Chinese version of "Mo Yu" sung by Alan sounded, which seemed to have the magic power to penetrate the soul, and fierce applause rang out at the scene, and Wang Meng even said excitedly, "It's better than I imagined, your first time as a director, you are much better than me." ”
Shishi and Sissi were both deeply immersed in the beautiful pictures and stories of the movie, and after a while, Sissi said to Shishi, "You are so beautiful in the movie!" ”
Shishi smiled gratefully, and then boasted, "Your acting skills in the movie are also very good, if you let me act, I will definitely not be able to act." "Liu Yifei plays a female star who is arrogant on the surface and has no one in her eyes in the movie, she always has a high-minded posture, and she is annoying, it can be said that this role is very breakthrough in Liu Yifei's previous image, and if she plays it well, it is very beneficial to hone her acting skills.
Liu Yifei smiled modestly, "I was also NG many times before I was allowed to pass by the director." In fact, she also feels that she has played a good role this time, and she can't see the shadow of "Liu Yifei" in this role at all, which is considered a success, and I believe that those who like to criticize her for her lack of acting skills can change their views after seeing this movie. Of course, Liu Yifei also really likes the role of Shishi, so mysterious, so smart, so soft, watching her sit on the trees, on the ground, and in the air with all kinds of difficult movements like idle clouds and wild cranes, she really wants to try it herself, and her dancing skills have not fallen.
The Chinese present and some yellow-skinned Asians held up the applause, but if you look closely, the applause of those Westerners is not so warm, not perfunctory, but a little slow, so it does not seem so uniform, and the expression on their faces is not dislike or disapproval, but a little hesitation.
He Mu didn't want to ask others, so he had to ask Jeff, "Why do you think Westerners don't like my movie very much?" ”
"What's the matter, I'm a Westerner, I like it very much, I'm by no means complimenting, this movie is even better than "Cold Heart", I even saw the epitome of Chinese classical culture from this movie, it's amazing!" Jeff praised.
"But what are they ...... for," He Muhuan pointed to the Western audience behind him.
