At the beginning, the first overseas distribution contract for "Xiao Wu" was priced at 150,000 francs. By the time of "Platform", it immediately multiplied many times.

The film festival is over, but Ichikawa's work has just begun. In fact, after the premiere of the film, he was busy dealing with the influx of studios from all over the world. Whether he is or Jia Zhangke, they all have a common belief: if people are willing to issue it, then try to issue it, as long as the price is not too embarrassing.

Therefore, those contracts basically didn't take much to say, the efficiency of signing was very fast, and the money was not much, but the amount was considerable, and the film made a lot of money. According to the agreement, Lao Jia can also get a considerable bonus, which is not only enough to replace the previous debt, but also very surplus.

As for the 50,000 yuan salary owed to Chu Qing, he knew that this kid was short of money now, so he added another 50,000 yuan out of his own pocket to make up a whole 100,000 yuan.

Chu Qing didn't pretend to be noble, and accepted it with peace of mind.

In general, the trip was relatively successful, and the face was all alive. The only regret is that the crowning of the last hammer is missing.

Of course, Venice is not the end, the force is already full, and then there are several small film festivals to maintain the lasting popularity of the film.

Ichikawa had already started to prepare for it, and he had a well-developed publicity plan, and the following itinerary was Argentina, Switzerland, and France. In front, Chu Qing didn't pay attention, just remembered the French one, the name is too hanging, it is called Nantes Three Continents International Film Festival.

Three continents, good fellows, listen to the old domineering!

These places are not very important, and Ichikawa alone can fully hold up the field. Whether others can go or not, it mainly depends on the specific schedule.

On September 11, Chu Qing returned to China.

Similar to the situation in "Xiao Wu" and "Suzhou Creek". He found that he always came out quietly, and rolled back quietly, unable to make any waves. I also deliberately bought several big newspapers in China to read, and swept from beginning to end, not even the middle seam fell, and I didn't find much related news.

Even if you log in, there are at most two lines of words. And there are no quotation marks and exclamation marks, and the tone is as quiet as a dead mother.

In fact, the media are also aggrieved! The portal is a little better, just getting started. The top is unaware of the regulatory issues, and the news of the sidelines is all over the screen. But the paper media was completely miserable, so worried that they scratched the wall, and no matter how big their brains were, they couldn't think of what angle to pick up the manuscript from.

Chu Qing. Jia Zhangke. Platform...... The core elements of the special are all sensitive words, which can only be skipped, skipped, skipped, skipped, and then over.

In other words, there are really a few mavericks in this group of artists in the mainland, who are happy to challenge the fragile nerves of the media.

Director. Led by Jiang Wen and Zhang Yuan, they belong to the tradition. Journalists are used to it. Who knows that in recent years, the new generation has become more and more courageous, Jia Zhangke, Wang Xiaoshuai, Lou Ye, Zhang Ming, which one is the master of peace of mind? It's a crowd of demons.

As for the actors, they really didn't have them before, they were all quite honest. Even if you secretly hook up, the bright side is still pretending to be both moral and artistic. However, I didn't know what medicine I had taken wrongly, and suddenly a small character popped up, Chu Qing.

It's only been a long time since Ya's debut, and her ability to pull hatred is unparalleled in the world, look at the appearance of the General Administration that swallowed flies......

"He's the monkey on Huaguo Mountain, it's a toss!"

When the various news of "Platform" in Venice were continuously transmitted back to China, the entertainment reporters of more than one media slapped the table, and this draft could not be written at all!

……

Hong Kong, in front of a cinema in Yau Ma Tei.

Chen Guo was wearing a hat and was walking on the steps by the side of the road, and the hurried pedestrians passed by, without even looking at him.

Therefore, he didn't wear a hat to hide his identity, but simply wanted to wear it. There are more people in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong than prostitutes, not to mention that you are a director, you are not a star, what if you have won the Academy Award, Humpty Dumpty is Humpty Frustration after all.

"Hey, Guan!"

Chen Guo watched a man running over from afar and waved his hand hurriedly.

"I'm sorry, I just had something, and I was a little late." The man laughed.

Ah Guan, called Guan Jinpeng. also wears a pair of glasses, with a gentle face, and even a little graceful. is two years older than Chen Guo, but when the two are compared, it is completely the poor painting style of the butcher and Xiucai.

"Let's go, let's get started." Chen Guo smiled and shook the movie ticket in his hand, feeling a little awkward.

Although this friend has come out publicly in 96, after all, they are two old men, watching movies together, and they are really afraid of making some scandals.

There's no way, who makes himself cheap, what is not good to introduce, I have to introduce a man to GAY, and I fell into the pit properly.

The movie they watched was "Suzhou Creek," which was released in Hong Kong on September 7. The response was unexpectedly good, and in the literary film market, in less than a week, the box office has steadily climbed to the top few.

There is no Lao Mouzi, no Gong Li, no Jiang Wen, no Uncle Ge, and those mainland coffees that Hong Kong people are familiar with have all disappeared. Some are just Lou Ye, Chu Qing, and Zhou Xun, okay, who are they?

A few recognize it, oh, isn't it the Liu Qing in "Huanzhu Gege...... Then he pouted, indicating no interest.

The start was very low, and the box office on the first day was miserable, but fortunately, the word of mouth was fair and slowly spread. It wasn't until the third day that the heat gradually set up.

The niche nature of the film can't be changed, most of the citizens on Hong Kong Island don't like it, and what really appreciates it is the more pretentious class with aesthetic taste. Like the film critics and the literati circle, many famous and well-known celebrities have watched this movie, and then compared the cheating fees on their own columns.

"I believe many people can't imagine that the new mainland work will be so stylish. I think people who like Wong Kar-wai's movies should not miss it... The whole film is full of colorful details, and there is inspiration, atmosphere, and mystery in the free and casual atmosphere, which is an attractive romantic game. ”

Among the praise words of the whole city, this comment is the most typical.

Because at this time, Hong Kong people's impression of the mainland was still stuck in the vast Datunzi, and the soil was scum. Regarding movies, it is mostly the kind of rural love story of Lao Mouzi.

This time, they really felt another level of domestic films.

One word: cool!

Two words: stunning!

Therefore, "Suzhou River", as a mainland film with non-famous directors and actors, is thrilling enough to exchange such an excellent report card for a weak cast.

Guan Jinpeng has naturally heard that he is too busy during this time, and he is negotiating the release of the last movie "Sometimes Dancing" in Japan, and he has no time to watch it. And Chen Guo happened to return from Venice, and directly threw him a string of phone numbers, nervously saying that he had found a big treasure.

He can trust the eyes of his old friend, but this role really can't be neglected. After thinking about it for nearly a year, I agreed to take over the film, and I participated in the revision of the script, with my own shadow and emotions.

was thinking about the stall, just in time for the release of "Suzhou River", he asked Chen Guo to take a look at the so-called big treasure, what kind of material it was.

The screening hall is very small, Guan Jinpeng glanced at it slightly, it was about eighty percent full, there were very few young people, and the temperament of the audience was very artistic, and the kind of occupation could be guessed by basically looking at the face.

After waiting for a while, the lights faded, the screen was still not lit, and the audience sat quietly in the dark, listening to Zhou Gongzi's hoarse voice flowing slowly.

Guan Jinpeng likes Shanghai very much, not the current gorgeous metropolis, but the flowing sad atmosphere under the bright surface.

As soon as the film began, he sank into it. From the lens, you can clearly feel another appearance of Shang*hai, the ancient, silent grief and numbness.

"Suzhou Creek" completely resurrected all his imagination of the city. Only in such a city that has been sinking, decadent, and erosive can such a poignant love story be made.

Guan Jinpeng unexpectedly discovered that he and Lou Ye actually had something in common. Of course, he didn't forget the performances of the two protagonists in jì, which are as glamorous as the movie itself, which makes people want to stop.

Chen Guo was originally accompanied by him, but he was also pleasantly surprised.

He especially wanted to make Zhou Gongzi's innocent and innocent face collapse, and stuff a lot of despicable and vulgar into her heart.

To put it simply, this perverted guy has been thinking about how to fool her into willingly becoming a prostitute, and then have weird sex with a fat man weighing more than 200 pounds.

After the movie ended, neither of them moved, Chen Guo knocked on the armrest, tilted his neck and asked, "How is it?" ”

Guan Jinpeng nodded and said with a smile: "My actor has it." ”

"My heroine is also here." He shrugged.

(Yesterday drank too much, hangover, sweat...... There is one more chapter in the evening. (To be continued......)
