Zhou Xiao is very happy, after arriving in Italy, the work of the film is quite smooth, although Zhou Xiao and Uncle Inoue have no less worry and effort in the process, but most of what they do is very necessary work, the real kind of difficulties or strange obstacles that will make their work in vain, but they have not encountered any of them, after sending the film safely to the judges and finalizing the final broadcast, Zhou Xiao knows that the rest is only to wait, waiting for the audience's feedback, Wait for this movie to either catch fire or sink.

At such a pace, the Venice Film Festival soon ushered in the opening, and "Ju Day" was finally successfully released.

Zhou Xiao didn't go to the theater to see the audience's reaction this time, he went to the beach to play, if it was himself, of course he wouldn't have this interest, the key is that Sister Sakai Spring Water also came to Venice, a pair of godsisters and brothers who have pierced a certain layer of window paper, they are naturally in high spirits to get together, if it weren't for the hidden dangers on Sakai Spring Water, the two of them might have done everything.

Although the organizer promised to release "Ju Day", but because the time to go was very late, so the time and broadcast location of the film were not very ideal, when the first "Ju Day" was screened, Uncle Inoue, who was standing at the door of the theater, estimated that the total attendance rate may only be three to four percent, and among the three to forty percent of the audience, according to Inoue's observations, there are nearly half of the Japanese tourists who have just gotten the news in Venice.

So few people made Inoue especially worried, but it was useless to worry about it.

Among these audiences, there are more than two dozen film critics they invited, some of these film critics are from Europe and the United States, and some are simply Japanese, and what Inoue is most looking forward to is probably the reaction of these film critics to the movie.

In fact, what Uncle Inoue didn't know was that there was another special filmmaker who was present to watch the first screening of "Ju Day".

This man looks like a little old man from the outside. And when he entered, he not only followed the crowd but also wore sunglasses, so it's no wonder Uncle Inoue didn't notice.

It is worth mentioning that the little old man of the filmmaker in his fifties, whether it is Inoue or Zhou Xiao, is very familiar with the identity, and there is only one person who meets these points at the same time.

Takeshi Kitano made a film called "Doll" last year, which will be released in Japan in October this year, and he also brought the film to Venice, but Kitano knew very well that the level of the film was not to the point where it could win anything at the festival. So I didn't even think about competing. His best work in recent years is "Fireworks", which won the highest Golden Lion Award here in 97, and the warm "Kikujiro's Summer", although he also used all his strength in this work, but if you want to compare with those two works, I'm afraid no one will choose this one.

In Venice, it is natural that he pays more attention to the films of his own country, and before that, he had already watched another film from Japan, "The Snake in June", in the cinema. The quality of that movie is good, but it is unlikely to win the top award, originally Kitano Takeshi was very disappointed, the films of China, Japan and South Korea, in his opinion, Japanese films have fallen far behind. Once upon a time, there was a film master like Akira Kurosawa in Japan, so he could still maintain his glory, but later Hong Kong became the Hollywood of the East, and Taiwanese films gradually caught up in artistry. In recent years, the big 6 and Korean movies have also begun to be exhibited. As for Japanese films, they have always stood still, and they have always only had the domestic market.

When Akira Kurosawa passed away, he even had the intention of entrusting Takeshi Kitano, but now the Japanese film industry is like this, which makes him a little worried.

Originally, Takeshi Kitano meant that this time he only watched the "Snake of June" he had watched before, as for Zhou Xiao's "Ju Day"? The vast majority of the audience present probably didn't know Zhou Xiao at all, nor did they know his age or his experience, but these Kitano Takeshi knew that he knew how much this kid stirred up in Japan, and knew that this kid was indeed talented, but at the same time, in Kitano Takeshi's opinion, this was enough.

Since there are so many things, when it comes to movies, this kid shouldn't be so powerful. Writing a million singles or something, it's not uncommon in the entertainment industry, even if you can write a million singles and produce a popular entertainment program at the same time, it's not without precedent in Japan, but if you can make a movie that amazes everyone at the same time, then this young man who has just passed his 2o birthday is too surprising.

This is the difference between a person who knows Zhou Xiao's roots and a person who doesn't know Zhou Xiao's past at all when facing him.

So why did Takeshi Kitano still come? The main reason is that a friend of his, who is also a film critic, wants to watch Zhou Xiao's movies, and Kitano Takeshi himself is actually just accompanying the other party.

The movie started soon, and what surprised Takeshi Kitano was that Zhou Xiao made a film with a faint sense of comedy, in fact, on such occasions as a film festival, the vast majority of directors will show their very deep side, and they will use film language to create a very deep story, but Zhou Xiao did not do this, the cheerful story and cheerful music, this is not a movie full of spoofs and madness at every moment, and most of the audience's laughter is very light and warm, because of itself, It's a lighter story.

The teenage girl did something she shouldn't have done with a boy because she was "bored" one day, and the ensuing pregnancy was unplanned, so the little girl drank a whole bucket of orange juice and took a pregnancy test, and finally moved all her furniture to her little boyfriend's door when things couldn't be changed......

What a lovely girl she is, she sits in front of her boyfriend's house and smugly with a pipe in her mouth, and her expression is full of fun, but what about the child? The little girl hastily decided on her plan to have a baby, but changed her plan because of a sentence from a foreign girl (originally an Asian girl) at the entrance of the hospital: "He may already have nails", and then hastily and quickly found the adoptive parents......

Kitano Takeshi vaguely knew that Zhou Xiao found Fuji TV to shoot a "Fourteen-Year-Old Mother" before filming this drama, and his little niece and his wife liked to watch the Japanese drama very much, and Kitano Takeshi also knew that it was an excellent Japanese drama with an average rating of more than 2o% in the end.

But in his opinion, that Japanese drama is good, but it's just a Japanese drama. He has very distinct advantages and disadvantages in Japanese dramas, and the biggest disadvantage is that the Japanese drama has no connotation, although it is a problem with this "Ju Day", but in the Japanese drama, neither the screenwriter Zhou Xiao nor the director discussed the problem in depth, and the reason why the heroine decided the life and death of the child in her belly is also very ordinary, the whole TV series. It also revolves around the process of whether the child is born or not and the reactions of the people around him, so to speak, what this film tells is actually the first thing that most people think of after hearing the theme of teenage pregnancy.

But "Ju Day" is really magical, after this Zhou Xiao wrote the previous vulgar content, he was able to innovate in the movie version, making the whole story change from the previous exaggeration and cliché to the current very flavorful freshness and refinement. When Takeshi Kitano watched the movie, he even suspected that the content of the movie in ten minutes might have been a whole episode of "Fourteen-Year-Old Mom".

Whether it's the girl's behavior or the meaning of those shots. The arrangement and deep meaning of the subplot, all the Yiqiē seem so perfect, in short, this is a pretty good film. Quite a complete film, both in artistry and connotation. In other words, Kitano estimates that this will be a very special film that can be appreciated by critics and film award judges, and at the same time has a topicality, so it can also take into account the box office.

And the directorial debut of a 2O-year-old young man can be filmed with this Cheng dù, which can be said to be quite powerful.

In addition to Takeshi Kitano, other audiences also have similar thoughts, this is a very flavorful film, its quality is absolutely excellent, and many people have not even seen half of it, and they have begun to think that this film is the best film at this year's Venice Film Festival.

Especially when the peaks and loops turn around later in the film, played by Abe Kuan, when the child-like adoptive father leaves the adoptive mother, when Aoi Miyazaki goes back on the tram alone and cries uncontrollably in the tram, the subtle silence in the entire cinema and the attentive eyes of the audience make Kitano Takeshi understand that this time Zhou Xiao succeeded again, and it is in the country of Italy, when his age and his deeds are famous in Italy, I am afraid that he will fall through everyone's glasses again.

When Zhou Xiao, who had accompanied Sakai Spring Water for a day, returned to the hotel, he realized that his mobile phone was about to be blown up, dozens of calls and emails were filled with his mobile phone, and the author was Uncle Inoue alone.

When I opened the text message, Uncle Inoue seemed to be crazy over there: "Standing ovation!" A standing ovation! The attendance rate of the first game was only 40%, but the response was so good that the committee has temporarily decided to add more games tomorrow! Zhou Xiao, we succeeded! ”

Did it work? Zhou Xiao seems to have really succeeded?

"Don't worry, it's not necessarily, no matter how good the audience's evaluation is, it won't work if you don't win the award." Zhou Xiao sent the text message over. And as soon as the text message passed, Uncle Inoue's call came in immediately.

"Zhou Xiao! We did it! Uncle Inoue's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Okay, uncle, let's be excited if we can really win the award." Zhou Xiaodao.

"It's unreasonable to be so popular and not win an award, right? Oh yes, Zhou Xiao, are you in the hotel now? Don't wander around tomorrow, there's someone you want to meet! Uncle Inoue said.

"Who?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"You'll know when you see it!" Uncle Inoue said.

"You still keep it secret from me,......" Zhou Xiao said.

Then the next day, he met Takeshi Kitano without any preparation.

When the strongest director in Japan who looked like the underworld with a sideways face, who was actually not too old and in his fifties, appeared in front of Zhou Xiao, he was really taken aback.

"North...... Kitano Takesang! Zhou Xiao couldn't speak.

"You're Zhou Xiao, right? It's really young and jealous......" Kitano Takeshi said, he couldn't see an expression on his face, it wasn't that he didn't want to show his expression, he had a traffic accident in the nineties, and his face was not only fractured but also had nerve paralysis, plus he began to take the strict route in the later period, so it would cause him to have almost no expression.

"You're exalting me too much, I grew up watching your show." Zhou Xiaodao.

"Oh? Not a movie but a show? Takeshi Kitano was a little surprised.

"Yes! Program! Your movies are really good and powerful, but I think your talent is most thoroughly unleashed on TV shows! Zhou Xiaodao.

"There are a lot of people who say this to me, but this is the first time I've heard a film director say that." Takemichi Kitano.

"I'm afraid it's because they don't want to admit that they can't win against you as a side hustle because they have studied something for decades!" Zhou Xiaodao.

"Hahahaha. Don't let anyone else hear you, but do you mean that we are the same, and you are such a person? ”

"No, no, no, I'm far inferior to you in movies and variety shows, and I don't know how to be talented." Zhou Xiaodao.

"I'm very optimistic about you, this movie is very good, but it's a pity that I'm not a judge, but I will recommend your movie to the judges I know." Takeshi Kitano said.

"Thank you very much." Zhou Xiaodao.

"Japanese movies are getting more and more out of line with nationality, and I can't do anything myself, so it's up to you and Shunji Iwai. Don't let China and South Korea go too far. Kitano Takeshi said with some concern.

Zhou Xiao nodded yes, but in fact, he was a little disdainful in his heart, the current state of Japanese movies is by no means something that he can change alone, and he is not interested in competing with China and South Korea, especially China, for anything, this time to make a movie, what he wants is nothing more than money and fame, as for carrying the banner of Japanese films? If he were given $100 million a year after carrying it, he would have been able to do it reluctantly.

After meeting Takeshi Kitano, the Venice Film Festival is still ongoing. The waves of "Ju Day" only affected a small number of people on the first day of broadcasting, and on the third and fourth days, almost everyone who came to the film festival knew about it. Among the Japanese films in this exhibition, there is a pretty good one.

And these comments began to spread all over the world with the contributions of the reporters who came to interview them, especially the Japanese journalists, who were supposed to be at the Venice Film Festival. There were no reporters who came to cover the news, and the few Japanese reporters who lived in Italy were all reporters from major Japanese television newspapers. When these reporters come to the Venice Film Festival, the report on their return in the end will not be big, as for Zhou Xiao? I'm afraid most of everyone's mind is just watching the excitement.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiao's movie became inexplicably popular in Venice, and for a while, most of the people in the entire film festival were discussing this movie, this magical, full of fun and thoughtful films, many audiences were enthusiastically discussing whether the heroine should give birth and leave a child, and the religious nature of the ending arranged by Zhou Xiao.

These comments also returned to Japan with the reporters.

Japanese media workers are in a dilemma, should they report truthfully, or wait and see?

On the one hand, they are already waiting for Zhou Xiao's difficult and embarrassing news, and now it is actually nothing for them to report Zhou Xiao's goodness, but the key is that Zhou Xiao has not won the award yet, although the various reactions sent back say that Zhou Xiao's movie is quite popular, and the highest award is bound to win, but the simplest truth is that what the audience likes is often not necessarily what the judges like, and vice versa, otherwise why are there so many so-called good films that are not popular every year in the world, and the so-called bad films that are popular but no one applauds?

Originally, everyone had already been embarrassed by Zhou Xiao's movie level, and if this time it was reported without consideration, no matter whether Zhou Xiao succeeded or failed in the end, as long as the media guessed wrong, then this person would lose a lot enough.

As a result, the media across Japan made the same decision at almost the same time.

That's ...... Wait and see! Wait for Zhou Xiao to win the award or not, and everyone will go up and report it!

As a result, there was a somewhat comical picture at the Venice Film Festival, while China and South Korea sent many reporters to interview their own countries to hit the top award-winning films, although there were two films on the Japanese film side, they always maintained a very embarrassing quiet state, and the entire Japanese media seemed to ignore this matter and no one mentioned it.

But of course, after knowing that Zhou Xiao participated in the exhibition and was quite popular with the audience, although these Japanese media did not report it for the time being, reporters from all walks of life have been dispatched, and for a while, on the flight from Tokyo to Rome, there were many media reporters who looked at each other very well.

Finally, in everyone's faint expectation, the final award ceremony of the Venice Film Festival began, and that night, Zhou Xiao attended the award ceremony with Aoi Miyazaki, who had just arrived, and the cute men and women on the red carpet looked from a distance, as if they were the leading actors of the play. The audience gave most of the applause and cheers to Aoi Miyazaki next to Zhou Xiao, because they all saw that this petite girl was the smart and cute little protagonist in "Ju Day". It wasn't until the host grabbed Zhou Xiao and explained to the audience and the media around the red carpet that everyone knew that the little boy in front of him, who was a little nervous and shy with a smile and looked like an underage, turned out to be the director of "Ju Day"!
