Scarlett Johansson arrived in Paris in August, filmed her scene in just a few days, and then left the cast for Venice.

Thomas is responsible for communicating with Venice and delivering the film, so although Shen Zhenghui also has to go to Venice, he still has to deal with some things with Thomas.

Is this him and Scarlett? A simple touch from Johnson.

2003 for Scarlett? Johnson was almost a turning point in fate, she would be named queen in Venice for "Lost in Translation", then a BAFTA award in 2004, and then an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay in 2004 for "Lost in Translation". Johnson's star journey is becoming more and more open.

She's been Woody since then? Allen's spiritual muse, starred in a large number of Woody Allen films. After winning many awards, literary films turned to commercial films again, starring in action blockbusters such as "Iron Man", "The Avengers", and "Super Body", breaking the box office record of Angelina Jolie's female action films.

At this time, Scarlett Johansson, who came into contact with Shen Zhenghui, was only nineteen years old, and she still had a green taste, although she was already quite good in terms of appearance and acting skills, European actresses always showed maturity that did not match her age. But when working with her, Shen Zhenghui was always distracted and couldn't help but go to see Ning Huan.

Ning Huan, who was an Internet writer in his last life, once wrote a basketball YY novel called "The Road to Glory", and one of the official partners of the protagonist in the novel is Scarlett? Johnson. This made him look at Scarlett? There was also an inexplicable sense of intimacy in Johnson's time. The director's attitude made Scarlett very uneasy, although she felt that the director was not looking at her with a smile, but that strange look seemed to touch her heart and soul.

Soon, the two met in Venice.

Thomas couldn't have imagined that Shen Zhenghui would be able to shoot the film in just two months, and at the same time, he would be able to send it to Venice to participate in the film festival. Mitsumi Fukuda, who was far away in Japan, also didn't expect that Shen Zhenghui's actions surprised her, "Actually, you can go to Venice." They've invited you before. ”

"Really?" Shen Zhenghui asked rhetorically.

"'Shanghai Fortress' was even screened in Venice as an exhibiting film," said Mitsumi Fukuda, "and we wanted to give 'Ryoko's Strange Incident Book' to Yakushiji, but the film has already been released on a large scale in Europe." ”

Shen Zhenghui scratched his head a little.

"But I think they won't be upset if you send this movie over again." Mitsumi Fukuda said, "Japan also sent a movie, which is Takeshi Kitano's "Zatoichi". Her tone was quite relaxed, "We also participate in the investment system!" ”

"I'd like to win a prize." Shen Zhenghui said this because he knew that Takeshi Kitano's "Zatoichi" was also a popular choice to win the Golden Lion, but in the end, the Golden Lion Award was awarded to the Russian film "The Return". Shen Zhenghui knows that both "Shanghai Fortress" and "Hurricane Rescue" are good-looking commercial films, and the judges will not be very eye-catching for this kind of movie.

Mitsumi Fukuda was clearly aware of this, "Anyway, you can go and brush your face," she said, "and maybe you will be able to mix in with the judges there in the future." ”

Shen Zhenghui couldn't imagine himself becoming an expert on the judges.

But when he appeared in Venice. still got the cheers of the majority of fans. As a well-known commercial director in Asia, he seems to be quite well-known in Europe. When it was introduced that this was the director of "Black Fist", many male fans began to shout and cheer, saying that "Black Fist" is indeed Shen Zhenghui's most popular work so far, which meets the expectations of kung fu fans around the world. Although Wu Jin did not become popular because of this, he also expanded his world popularity, and there are already Hollywood companies willing to pay a good price for him to star in Hollywood movies - of course, compared to Jett Lee's salary. Wu Jin is still far from keeping up.

Ning Huan is also mixed in the crew, and he doesn't care about learning at all. The condensed life experience he experienced during this time in the UK is comparable to the next 30 years, and the high-intensity job is indeed the most tempering. Ning Huan mingled in the crowd, holding a camera and constantly taking pictures, which can be regarded as a good by-product of his unsuccessful career as a journalist in the future. The photos are pretty good.

As an outstanding representative of directors and actors in Asia, Shen Zhenghui was warmly received by the Venice Official Organizing Committee. Morris? Chairman de Harden also had a special chat with him. As the father of the International Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival is also faced with the dilemma of art and commerce, how to ensure the influence of the Venice Film Festival, not to be reduced to the self-entertainment of artists, and at the same time to ensure that it does not become a mere commercial award. Losing their style, these European film artists broke their hearts. This problem is really difficult to solve, Shen Zhenghui does not feel that there is a solution, according to China's ideas, there is no such thing in this world that is not easy for eternity, so it is instinctive to seek innovation and change when it comes to the end of the road, that is to say, when necessary, it is still necessary to achieve things because of people, and there is no fixed and lasting principle that can keep things unchanged forever.

De Harden was thoughtful, saying that he was retiring and that he would be replaced by someone -- he did not say whom, and that the idea of a change at the Venice Film Festival was to increase the influence of films from other regions in order to counter the onslaught of American Hollywood commercials. This is a problem that every capitalist country in the world has to face. De Harden said that Shen Zhenghui has a great influence in East Asia, representing an emerging force, and he hopes that Shen Zhenghui can maintain this influence, especially when he sees that under this influence, Shen Zhenghui supports filmmakers, he said, "Japanese director Miyamoto, "The Great Adventure of Heisei Kazuo" is actually a very interesting work, but the style and theme of his own shooting are too Japanese, and it is difficult for audiences in other regions to understand. ”

Shen Zhenghui felt that this criticism was simply the bull's-eye.

He even talked about Takeshi Kitano by the way, Takeshi Kitano is of course a good director, but the style of this director is fixed and consistent, and it will be very difficult to break through himself in the future, in this regard, he feels that Shen Zhenghui is stronger than Takeshi Kitano. Because there is no such thing as a fixed style from Shen Zhenghui.

This made Shen Zhenghui feel very ashamed.

De Harden also talked about Lu Yang, a director, who was very impressed by his works such as "Black Fist 2" and "Slaying the Wolf", which shows that he really thinks about commerciality and artistry.

The two talked very happily, and when Shen Zhenghui finally came out, Thomas asked him if Venice had already set an award for him?

Of course not, Shen Zhenghui didn't come with the purpose of winning the award at all.

See Scarlett again? Johnson took the opportunity to chat with her again.

Scarlett? Johnson is the much-requested Best Actress. "Lost in Translation" is Sophia? Coppola's second work. The Coppola family were Italian immigrants, so Venice was their home turf. But Shen Zhenghui didn't know until the end, Scarlett? Johnson's actress is the actress of the unit against the current, which is equivalent to the best new actress. The actress of the official unit is Germany's Kaja? Lehman, who won Best Actress for her role in "The Woman on Rosenstaser Street". Shen Zhenghui found that he couldn't watch most of the films at the Venice Film Festival, and for a while he wondered if his determination to become a big director was in the wrong direction from the beginning.

Shen Zhenghui's film did not enter the competition unit, but it was screened in Venice as a special exhibition work, and Shen Zhenghui himself went to see a few shows, I have to say. "Hurricane Rescue" has attracted the vast majority of audiences as a typical commercial film. The tense plot makes people not have to think, they can't breathe, and when the whole movie ends, there is a feeling of unfinished. "Hurricane Rescue" won the majority of the audience during this time, but there were basically no words of praise from critics, and the only praise was probably that the rhythm was well controlled.

Italians and European tourists are completely indignant about the hacking of the French in the movie, and it can even be said that they like to hear about it, even the French themselves do not feel that this film is a smear against their country.

Shen Zhenghui even saw Scarlett in a movie? Johnson was also in the theater. She doesn't seem to be too satisfied with her performance, because the time is relatively short, so this big star has to be more wolf. But it's also good. The aura of the big star is too strong, and there is a suspicion of stealing the scene, and Scarlett's youthful appearance is quite in line with the requirements of the film.

There are also many Chinese who come to participate in the Venice Film Festival. Brother Haonan of Red Star was present, and Lin Jiaxin, the queen of the Golden Horse and Academy Awards, was also present. However, the pattern of Hong Kong films has always been too small, and it is difficult to compete with European films in this regard. Brother Hao Nan knew that Shen Zhenghui, a person who was not in Hong Kong but had a huge influence on Hong Kong films, took Lin Jiaxin to take the initiative to greet Shen Zhenghui and say a few words.

The Hong Kong film market is declining, and the actor is very strict. The film market is basically supported by old drama bones. And Brother Hao Nan himself became an instant hit through "Crazy Boy", and then became popular with his fame, and then it was tepid.

However, in Venice, Hao Nange still seemed a little excited. After all, it is really difficult for an actor like him to appear on such an occasion, in comparison, Lin Jiaxin is a female artist who is very appreciated by the artist judges. Shen Zhenghui received a box of small moon cakes from her, and he was quite emotional.

"Do you still want to support Hong Kong films?" Ning Huan asked.

"Why do you think that?" Shen Zhenghui asked rhetorically.

"You've bought the rights to a lot of Hong Kong films." "And we have also introduced some Hong Kong films to Japan for screening." ”

"You asked from Mitsumi Fukuda?"

Ning Huan pouted, "It's impossible for me not to pay attention to what Haruri is doing." ”

"Because this mooncake makes you have such associations?" Shen Zhenghui chuckled lightly and handed him one of the moon cakes, "Please eat one." He said.

"When are we going back?" Ning Huan asked, "I haven't participated in this kind of film festival before, so I think it's quite fresh, and now it looks like this." ”

"If you want to leave, go back to Japan to study," Mr. Shen said, "I'll go to the United States and discuss the distribution plan with Colombia before I go back to Japan." ”

"When will the movie be released?" Ning Huan couldn't wait, this was the first movie he had officially written as a screenwriter, and it was also of great significance to him.

"Even if the film is smooth, North America will have to wait until the Christmas period." Shen Zhenghui said, "The release in Japan is estimated to be the same time. ”

"How much do you think the box office is?" Ning Huan asked eagerly.

"It's hard to say, I think it's certain that North America will break 100 million, and it is very likely that there will be two or three hundred million in the world. Of course. Thomas is more optimistic, and he thinks that the film is likely to reach $200 million in North America. ”

"Huh?" Ning Huan, who is accustomed to hearing about the billion-dollar box office in the future, doesn't seem to be satisfied enough with this number, "That's it?" ”

"Enough, how much does it cost? 150 million has not yet been spent. Shen Zhenghui snorted, "If the box office is high, I can also give you a red envelope." ”

Ning Huan touched his hair. "I think it's interesting to win an award, why don't we work together on a movie that can win an award?"

Shen Zhenghui rolled his eyes, "You'd better be admitted to college first." Speaking of which, I haven't been to see your old classmates in England yet, so why don't I take this opportunity to see them again......"

"Whatever you want." Ning Huan rolled his eyes, "I'd rather go and see how Lao Bai is playing." ”

Bai Tao has officially signed a contract with Hoffenheim, and he has also found a school willing to accept him, although the school is not very good, but it is also a regular university. Bai Tao accepted Shen Zhenghui's proposal. He also doesn't want to be a high school student in the future. He's going to play and study at the same time, and many young German players actually do the same.

Shen Zhenghui obviously heard from Ning Huan's tone that he was envious of Bai Tao's life, but for Ning Huan, he couldn't choose this way of life. His height is now more than 1.7 meters, this is still the result of his hard work in this life, maybe he can break through the limit of 1.75 meters when he is eighteen years old, in short, it is impossible for him to play basketball like Lin Fenghan of his YY. So in this life he prefers to watch football matches.

"Actually, Lao Bai sent me an email saying that he was on the bench for two games. Kick in a ball. Ning Huan continued to gush, "The coach has high expectations for him. Just because his body is good. ”

"I hope he protects his body and doesn't get hurt." Shen Zhenghui shrugged his shoulders.

The Venice Film Festival ushered in its own awards ceremony and closing ceremony on September 8th, and Takeshi Kitano, who filmed "Zatoichi", won the Silver Lion for Best Director. Johnson won Best Actress in the Swim Against the Tide category. Yiqiē is the same as in history, but because Shen Zhenghui participated in the activities of the Venice Film Festival from beginning to end, the Venice Film Festival jury is probably out of a matter of face. A most popular film award was awarded to Shen Zhenghui's "Hurricane Rescue". Because this film has the most viewers during the entire film festival.

This award made Shen Zhenghui a little crying and laughing, and Venice seems to be preparing to award this award as a regular practice to the most watched films in the future.

ended the trip in Venice, the whole crew had already dispersed, and Miyamoto accompanied Ning Huan back to Japan. Ning Huan went back to study, and Miyamoto was going to join Zhou Xingxing's "Kung Fu" crew, because of the delay of SARS, the preparation for the filming of "Kung Fu" once came to a standstill, and Uncle Da also delayed the schedule and intervened with "Kung Fu". Zhou Xingxing used a new team to direct the film, but encountered many problems when organizing the preparations, and had to apply through Guò Kasuga to let Miyamoto, an "outsider", help coordinate the handling. In the Hong Kong film industry, the temple is small and the demon is big, and the pool is shallow and the king is more. Even with Zhou Xingxing's status in the rivers and lakes, sometimes he still has to borrow the power of outsiders.

Shen Zhenghui said goodbye to Thomas and the beautiful Scarlett, took a plane to London first, and prepared to meet Donnie and Zhang Yi, who were funded by themselves, these two girls who were admitted to Oxford University a year ahead of schedule really helped Shen Zhenghui's hometown to make a good reputation, as a small thing in the world, but as news, it was sent back to his hometown, and it suddenly caused a sensation in the whole province.

Previously, in 2002, there was also a girl in Fucheng, Bashu Province, who was admitted to Oxford University as a sophomore in high school, and was blown up by her alma mater, and also found a writer to write a book, called "A Sophomore Girl Who Knocked on the Door of Oxford". Under Liu Yiting's trend, in the face of this kind of hype, other schools only have envy, jealousy and hatred.

Now, the plot is reversed, and two sophomore girls from a high school in the countryside next door to Fucheng were actually admitted to Oxford at the same time, which is simply a gold star in the eyes of the high schools in Fucheng and Rongcheng. After several investigations by reporters, they found out that there was a landlord who sponsored several students to study abroad, and they were so angry that they were directly admitted to Oxford University. You can't say that it's not the credit of people's high school alma mater, after all, it was a semester before going out in the first year of high school, and after graduating from the second year of high school, he was admitted to Oxford University, do you say that the school has no role at all?

Shen Zhenghui's alma mater took advantage of this hype, Shen Zhenghui didn't care at all, it was completely routine for him to go to see these two girls. Speaking of which, these two are also his former classmates, and it is also appropriate to take care of them, and he definitely doesn't have any thoughts about them.

With the purpose of helping others and seeing what they need, Shen Zhenghui went to London, contacted the two girls by himself, and made an appointment to meet at a time and place. Perhaps thinking that bringing his bodyguards would put too much pressure on them, Shen Zhenghui only took Fujitang Xiangcheng to see Tang Ni and Zhang Yi. This kind of Cheng dù can also be regarded as a show to Fukuda Mitsumi: I am a rule, otherwise how could I bring Fujido oranges?

I just don't know if Fujido Xiangcheng can understand Shen Zhenghui's painstaking heart, and this Japanese girl who understands Chinese will not have too much trouble listening to the conversation of the three people. (To be continued......)
