"Sister Hitomi!"

On the evening of September 6, at the premiere of "Red Face", Zhang Jingchu greeted her warmly and humbly. She had a skirt underneath her, but on her upper body was a modified belly pocket, with a dark blue bottom and embroidered with a peacock.

Compared with her, Wang Tong is much more casual, because she is fatter now, so she wears an extra-loose coat, like a housewife who has come to join in the fun.

"Xiao Chu, thank you for coming!" She hugged each other, with a slight force in her hands, which made people feel very steady.

"As it should be!" Zhang Jingchu also smiled.

These two women don't have much intersection, but they are both close to a certain man, and in his circle of friends, everyone knows the weight of Wang Tong, the kind of relationship that can give up almost everything.

"How's it going, you're busy, aren't you?"

"Well, I fly everywhere almost every day, and I can't sleep well."

"Don't be bad when you're young, I know a recipe is very effective, go back and give you a soothing sachet, you can take it with you."

"Then thank you, Sister Hitomi!"

Li Yu was preparing inside, and the two chatted at the entrance of the theater, but due to the lack of fame, not many people came to the premiere. It is only the senior management of the organizing committee, domestic and foreign media, and a part of the audience.

"Wow!"

At this time, I suddenly heard a small commotion on the red carpet, and domestic reporters raised their cameras one after another and began to shoot crackling.

"Huh? Why did she come too? Zhang Jingchu turned her head to take a look, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Wang Tong looked at it and saw Zhou Gongzi, who was dressed in black clothes and black pants, walking along the red carpet, waving his hands to both sides from time to time.

"Heh......"

My sister wrinkled her nose with a subtle expression.

And Zhang Jingchu's first reaction was to turn around and enter, but after a pause, she stood still.

"Sister Hitomi!"

In a blink of an eye, Zhou Gongzi has stepped up. Eyes are shining.

"Welcome, welcome, you're so surprised to come!"

Wang Tong took two steps forward and hugged her as well. Heaven and earth conscience, they haven't met much before, and today is the first time they have officially talked.

"Good evening!"

"Good evening!"

Immediately, the two women also shook hands, although Xiao Chu had an extraordinary temperament, he was instantly pressed down by Zhou Gongzi.

“……”

Wang Tong pursed his lips, and secretly laughed in his heart, if it weren't for Fan Xiaoye. In this situation, it is really like the eldest sister choosing a daughter-in-law for the younger brother.

After a while, seeing that the time was almost up, several people entered the arena together. Li Yu was also surprised, and hurriedly arranged seats, and the four girls occupied a row in front.

After a while, the lights in the hall dimmed and the screen lit up.

The story of "Red Face" takes place in the 80s, when middle school student Xiaoyun unexpectedly became pregnant. He was expelled along with that male classmate. Xiaoyun's mother, a teacher, floated the baby down the river, falsely claiming that the child was dead. Ten years later, Xiaoyun is an actor in the Zhenshangchuan Opera Troupe. One day, I met my mother's student Xiao Yong.

Xiao Yong soon became Xiao Yun's follower, shouting all day long Sister Yun and Sister Yun. In fact, he is Xiaoyun's child.

The actors in the whole film speak a Si*Sichuan dialect, which is difficult to understand. It sounds good, but it also has a strange sense of nostalgia. And Wang Tong's performance in the film is full of nature. Purity and stillness.

Especially the scene where she wipes herself in the kitchen, the camera slides from top to bottom, and the soft back curve is beautiful and makes people tremble.

Compared with "This Summer", Li Yu has made great progress, telling the story reasonably and meticulously. She does not show the so-called sense of the times, and the tragic fate that the times have caused to individuals. She's just saying that a person has a destiny, but don't get caught up in your inner complaints, and make your world cheerful.

Just like at the end, after Xiaoyun learned the truth of the matter, she didn't cry cliché, or mother and son recognized each other, but chose to walk out of the town and take a look outside.

It is precisely because of this unique temperament that "Red Face" has become a wonderful movie.

Before the screening, no one was optimistic about the film, but when the screen went dark again, the whole theater fell into a soft touch. The audience was only fifty percent seated, but at this moment, I felt that there were people sighing softly in those empty seats.

On September 10, the 62nd Venice Film Festival closed.

With "Brokeback Mountain", Li Yu won the Golden Lion Award, the highest honor. Although Wang Tong won the applause of the media, he unfortunately lost to Giovanna in "The Beast in the Heart".

"Song of Long Hatred" won a small award, but "Red Face" brushed two, one is called the Special Jury Award, which is the same nature as "Qinghong", which belongs to the high-level consolation prize.

There are many of them, and they are called the European Art Prize. This is selected by the European Art Film Federation, and as long as it wins this award, the film is automatically eligible for release in 3,000 art theaters in Europe.

The cost of "Red Face" is 8 million, Fang Li is 5 million, and Chu Qing is 3 million, which is a big investment in literary films. Now that there is a theatrical base, coupled with the resources of MK2, it is enough to make a fortune.

In general, this Venice Film Festival, the Chinese blockbusters and the mighty celebrities were all slapped by two women.

"In the film industry where pathos, sensationalism, and family affection have become the mainstream, the market for urban comedy has been blank for a long time. The appearance of "Waiting Alone" more or less broke this deadlock. ”

""Waiting Alone" is a maverick and clever comedy, carefully presented by a group of reliable young people, which is gratifying because it is rare."

"The most fun Chinese movie of the year! The sense of urbanity is strong, the dialogue of the whole film is wonderful, and the music is incomparable! ”

"Watching "Waiting Alone" is definitely a pleasure, just like when you see an absolutely different Fan Bingbing in the film, comfortable, eye-catching and full of joy."

At the beginning of September, "Waiting Alone" was finally released.

Compared with the word-of-mouth of the media, its box office is full of hits, with only a few million in half a month. One is because the film company is unwilling to spend money on publicity, and the other is that the audience is not used to seeing this kind of film in the cinema.

In other words, there is no concept of urban comedy in the domestic market, and Feng Xiaogang's Chinese New Year films are more in the category of satirical comedy. The most important criterion for so-called urban comedy is youth.

You get a bunch of old coffins on it to talk about love, angry and confused, that's called a horror movie.

And in addition to youth, there is a second element: proximity to life.

Youth is not the same as being blind JB, it is not equal to skipping classes, tearing ratios, crackling and smashing wine bottles, especially not equal to abortion! Abortion! Abortion!

That is the youth of directors and screenwriters, not the youth of the audience.

The preciousness of "Waiting Alone" lies in its sincerity and truthfulness. Wu Shixian made a good start, but it's a pity that this kind of genre film on Hollywood's bad streets still hasn't found a suitable soil in China.

When a foreigner asks, hey, what is the living condition of your young people?

"Small Times 1", "Small Times 2", "Small Times 3" ......

Fan Xiaoye is naturally unhappy with this kind of achievement, but she is not an investor, so she can only watch the film go offline. Fortunately, the media's evaluation of her is not bad, and she shows a beautiful, realistic, girl who wants to pursue true love but is not willing to be plain very accurately.

And the girl also won the nomination for the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award by virtue of her own performance.

Speaking of this activity, it has been completely separated since this year, 05 is the Golden Rooster Award, 06 is the Hundred Flowers Award, and it is selected in turn. Of course, the names are still combined.

In addition, for the first time, works from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are allowed to participate in this year's selection.

"New Police Story", as the first Hong Kong film to participate in the competition, was nominated for Best Feature Film, and Cheng Long will compete with Pu Cunxin, Duo Bujie and others for the Best Actor Award.

In this shortlist, companies related to the company include:

"The Two of Us", "Red Face", Best Feature Film Award.

Ma Liwen, Best Screenplay Award.

Ma Liwen, Li Yu, Best Director Award.

Fan Bingbing, Jin Yaqin, Zhang Jingchu, Wang Tong, Best Actress Award.

Wang Luodan, Li Kechun (Hongyan as Xiaoyun's mother), Best Supporting Actress Award.

The company's direct investment, or the participation of artists, accounted for 11 nominations, and as far as the eye could see, there were delicate and tender flowers...... Uh, except for the old lady Jin Yaqin.

Especially in the competition for the actress, there are a total of five nominees, and the remaining one is Mei Ting in "Aspirin". As a result, he was besieged by four people, and he was simply heartbroken.

The company is very high, so that the film and television industry can see the strength, although there are not many works, but each one is qualified to fight. This also makes those who are sneering at the "New Power of Cinema" plan shut up for the time being.

As for last year's box office leader "No Thieves in the World", well, people didn't sign up at all. (To be continued......)
