Chapter 202: Du Qixi Cried More (Monthly Pass Plus 22/27)
There is still half an hour before 19:15, and "Tuina" has never been cared for, and slowly ushered in waves of audiences.
Some even retired from the screening hall next door.
It is impossible to fill the house, but it has also been done seventy or eighty, and there are two hundred people.
Unless it's an Italian film or a North American film, it's hard to achieve such an attendance.
One on the first day, one at noon on the second day, and one at night.
Lin Dong bought a calling card.
It is used to surf the Internet, the audience of the film festival, and the relevant media, the evaluation of this movie.
A journalist from Berlin was dissatisfied with the film's excessive viewpoint and multi-character narrative, which made the plot of the movie messy, and he said that he didn't like "Tuina".
This is indeed a problem.
Lin Dong said in an interview that he was one of the leading actors.
This is definitely not a self-effacing statement.
And a fan from France said: "This is a film that focuses on people on the margins of society, not a lack of heart - it is generally believed that blind people have the same mental health as normal people, and there is a real gap with the world just because they can't have vision." ”
A local Italian media analyzed it from other angles: "This time in the Chinese movie, we can see more violent elements - more cruel than the previous ones, when the movie theater showed Pony cutting his throat and Dr. Wang cutting himself, the audience next to him covered their eyes.
And the performance of the herring is more vivid than we have seen before.
Obviously, this gives Huaxia films more space to show a richer world of the blind, so I was very shocked when I saw "Tuina", I didn't expect the world of the blind to be like this. ”
In terms of quantity, the reviews are very numerous.
After watching the movie, the media and the audience more or less wrote something and sent it casually.
The word of mouth is not explosive, but it is above the level.
But there was still a little surprise.
Even Andrea Arnold, a member of the jury and director of the Great Corrupt Country, even made a comment on the film.
The people on the jury watch movies and watch them almost whenever they have time.
Even the jury, Bernardo Bertolucci, was no exception. Lin Dong saw him in a wheelchair several times, pushed by his assistant to watch a movie.
But few of them will expose their position in advance.
That would look unprofessional.
Half of the Wizarding King's hometown, Lady Andrea Arnold has always been known for being a maverick.
She is the darling of international film festivals such as Cannes, and she can win an Oscar for a short film.
Commenting when she wants to comment is her style.
Fortunately, this fellow did not complain about this movie, although he also pointed out some shortcomings of the movie, but most of the ink points are praise.
In particular, he praised Lin Dong.
said that the leading actor's speculation and grinding of the pony's heart are extremely accurate, and the tension and sense of proportion of the performance are also just right.
He is a pent-up fire.
Dark, depressing, and even decadent, but there is no lack of a little warm light.
This kind of praise is inexplicable and motivating.
Let Lin Dong have the illusion that his fellow countrymen want to take him to fly.
I can't really get the actor?
The Venice Film Festival's Best Actor, although slightly inferior to Cannes and Berlin, is better than the Golden Horse and the Golden Statue.
That's a veritable actor.
This kind of good review word-of-mouth is useful.
The two games on the second day basically guaranteed 80% of the attendance.
Du Qixi was a little disappointed.
He also thought that it would be full, and even some viewers would stand in the aisle to worship the movie.
It's really too much to think about.
A Venice has a total of less than 20,000 residents, and even if many people come during the festival, there are less than 30,000 people.
How many of the 30,000 people came to see the movie.
Six screening halls.
How many people will crowd into a screening hall to watch literary films.
can maintain a number of 200 people per movie, "Tuina" is enough to be proud of 90% of the films screened.
"Dongzi, in fact, if it weren't for you, my "Tuina" would really be useless." Du Qixi's mood is still not very high.
"Brother Qixi, don't say that, it's a pretty good shot."
Lin Dong was also sincere in his comfort.
Du Qixi is not very capable, but he has an advantage, that is, he doesn't mess around.
Don't men and women or men.
I don't mess around with the filming links that I don't know.
The photographer he found was very cowhide and gave him a lot of photographic advice, but this product accepted all of them regardless of the dignity of a director.
And his "you think it won't work, if you can't do it yourself, you can't do it again".
Although in fact, he has little confidence.
However, it indirectly caused the actors to have a more thorough understanding of the role, and the points converged into faces, which improved the overall quality of the movie.
"If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have thought of bringing it to the exhibition, and it might have been released in China directly tomorrow; If you were so speculative in your conversation with the media at the press conference, no one would watch our movie; If you hadn't acted well, Northrend wouldn't have seen our movie. ”
"Arnold, her name is Arnold, not Northrend." Lin Dong was speechless.
"Whatever, who cares if she's called Arthas or Northrend." Du Qixi lay on the bed with a big belly weakly.
It's like a salted fish waiting to be put into the pot.
"What do you think Jiang Xiaojun is looking for, even if there are not so many audiences, there will be a lot of reports about our movie the next day, as long as the media reports, someone will definitely watch it the next day, but it's just a day late."
Lin Dong didn't think of himself as too great.
It is also true that his outstanding performance may have won more or less praise from the media, but this kind of alienated praise is really not enough to make journalists and film critics talk nonsense with their eyes open.
The final award is yet to come.
But the three screenings have already shown the high quality of the film "Tuina".
At this time, the film company was faced with a choice, whether to bet that the drama would win the award and start in advance, or wait for the dust to settle before discussing business.
In fact, the Venice Film Festival is not a good place to sell films.
Cinema has both artistic and commercial attributes.
Except for Boss Lin, who doesn't want to make money, most of the other film festivals also rely on these two wheels to drive.
As recognized as the three most authoritative film festivals in the world, Cannes, Venice and Berlin have their own artistic adherence and are equal to each other.
But when it comes to business, Venice is like a child standing in front of a professional boxer with a blank face, and it is not a small distance from Cannes and Berlin.
The booth was in single digits, and the filmmaker also sent someone casually.
Even Toronto is better than Venice.
If it weren't for the decision of "Tuina" to be released on September 1 - Du Qixi did not change his plans because of the film festival - he might have waited until next year to attend the Cannes or Berlin Film Festival.
Today is September 3rd, and it has been released in China for two days.
The box office on the first day was 600,000, which is still heard that the number of films in Venice increased a little, and the next day it was more than 300,000, a cliff-like decline.
Du Qixi's depression also has something to do with this.
He can only hope for overseas copyright now.
The award ceremony is on September 7, and in the past few days waiting for the award ceremony, some filmmakers have come to contact.
There is a studio responsible for the Southeast Asian market, and the offer of 300,000 euros is the highest one.
That's already a great price.
The overseas copyright of "Outing" on the other side of Wanwan was packaged together and only 150,000 euros were bought.
However, it is 108,000 miles worse than "Gravity".
The overseas copyright of "Gravity" has sold $10 million in the Southeast Asian market alone, and after the film is released in Southeast Asian countries, "Gravity" will continue to participate in the box office share of more than $10 million.
In the final analysis, Hollywood is still too bad, and Chinese films are becoming more and more difficult to sell.
300,000 euros, which is converted into domestic money, is about 2 million.
To sell or not to sell?
Lin Dong couldn't make decisions for him, and Jiang Xiaojun couldn't make decisions for him.
Even those producers who wanted to hack Du Qixi to death in China couldn't call the shots.
Two million is also money.
At this time, the unexpected happened.
Someone told Du Qixi that this movie can't be sold like this.
This person's name is Hua Yan.
That's right, it's Hua Yan who was supposed to direct this film, but was later robbed of his job by Du Qixi.
Hua Yan is one of the representatives of the sixth generation of directors in the mainland, and the 89-level Nortel senior.
He planned to make this film after finishing "Mystery Floating City", but he didn't expect to be cut off by a junior brother, and it was rumored in the circle, and it was inevitable that he would feel uncomfortable.
After the movie was released, he went to see it on the first day.
As a result, I saw a "Tuina" that was completely different from the style I expected.
He felt he could shoot better.
But I have to admit that this film is also very good now, and there are many styles that he can't shoot.
At least the audience won't get dizzy after watching it.
The dilemma faced by "Tuina" He knows that the domestic box office of this movie will definitely not exceed five million.
Sure enough, with the BUFF bonus of being shortlisted for the Venice International Film Festival, it only won 600,000 box office, and the next day it fell off a cliff.
Even if you can win a prize, it will be difficult to exceed five million.
We can only hope to sell overseas copyrights to return to the capital.
Hua Yan is more experienced than Du Qixi in how to pit foreign filmmakers' money, and after the producer found him for advice, the advice he gave was to sell it after the award ceremony.
Of course, if anyone can give three million euros, they can also sell it to him.
Three million euros will pay for itself.
How much more you want to ask?
Two hundred million?
Hehe......
The award ceremony came as scheduled in the tormented waiting, and Du Qixi's hair turned a lot whiter.
Originally, he looked like he was thirty or forty years old, but now he is running towards fifty.
But he is actually a person born in 90, in September 2013, Fang was 23 years old, and his virtual age was less than half of half a hundred.
In order to cover up this change, Du Qixi put on his hat again.
I feel that this product may be accompanied by a hat in the future.
If someone has a king of sunglasses, he will be the king of hats.
After the red carpet of the closing ceremony, everyone sat down one after another, not as much as in China, and the number of seats was also very casual, and the participants in the closing ceremony were basically media and filmmakers.
All the members of the jury sat on the stage.
It's also very casual to sit.
The host announced the start, and after a few nonsense words, the jury in a wheelchair took out a crumpled piece of white paper from his pocket.
Then read it as it is.
There was no atmosphere, no introduction to the shortlisted films, no lottery guests, and no award presenters.
The first one read out the Golden Lion Award.
The winner is "Rome Ring Road" from Italy, directed by Gianfranco Rossi, this old brother hugged the golden lion and kissed and gnawed after going up.
It's very obscene.
Du Qixi whispered his contempt for this old man.
Then Mr. Zhu Xi read the Silver Lion Award, and the Silver Lion Award is not given to a fixed object, sometimes it is the Grand Jury Award, sometimes it is the Best Director, and it may be the Best Actor or Best Actress.
This time it's Best Director.
Congratulations to Qixi Du from Huaxia.
Lao Du burst into tears at that time, and his tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Lin Dong kicked him twice, and he remembered to go up and get back the trophy in the hand of the little sister of the emcee.
When I gave a speech, I chattered and couldn't speak Chinese smoothly.
It took several minutes to cry and chirp - under normal circumstances, thirty seconds is considered a long time, and some people even said three grams of oil.
Lin Dong looked at the eyes of the jury's bamboo mat, and probably wanted people to drag this goods away.
It's a shame.
In fact, Lin Dong still can't understand why a person who doesn't like Chinese movies very much has such a soft spot for Du Qixi's movie.
Could it be that because he has limited mobility and needs to be in a wheelchair, he empathizes with a flawed movie?
Next is Wanwan's film, which won the Grand Jury Award.
Of the nine awards, the Chinese people won two awards, although the Golden Lion Award was not won, but it was enough for the Chinese media to be excited.
Bernardo Bertolucci doesn't leave time to empathize.
He spoke slowly, but he didn't stop announcing the Special Jury Award, the Best Screenplay Award, and the Best Actor Award - it was really not Lin Dong.
Lin Dong was nominated for this award though.
But after Du Qixi won the Silver Lion Award, he only had a very small probability of winning this award.
Because the jury has always tried its best to avoid awarding the Golden Lion, Silver Lion, Best Actor, and Actress to the same film, unless you can get the unanimous approval of the jury.
It's the unanimous vote.
Lin Dong obviously does not have such strength.
The actor who won the actor was Semis Pano, who starred in the movie "Miss Violence".
The actress is Elena Kota, an eighty-two-year-old grandmother.
She appeared on the stage at the age of sixteen.
She didn't start acting in films until she was 69 years old, and the award-winning "Wild Flowers of Palermo" is her second film, which embodies oppressive cold violence.
"Best New Actor Award, Lin Dong, Lin Dong from Huaxia, thank you for the movie "Tuina", which allowed us to meet a young and excessively young director, and a young and excessively young actor."
Lin Dong didn't cry.
is not an actor, what are you crying about.
Even if he is an actor, he is not as good as Xia Yu, who won a double actor at the age of 20.
Lin Dong took the strange-shaped trophy and said thank you.
Then he shouted to the audience in Chinese:
"I love movies!"
It only took about ten seconds from start to finish, and then I rolled back to my seat.
"Dongzi, let's ......"
Du Qixi was still crying, he was holding the silver lion in one hand and grabbing Lin Dong's hand with the other.
It's slimy, it's all tears and snot, it's disgusting.
"Brother Qixi, think about it, even if we win the award, can the box office of the movie reach 200 million, I think it is difficult to think 3 million."
Lin Dong had no choice but to use stimulation therapy.
However, it was self-defeating, and Du Qixi cried even more.
, I'm not glass, and if you snot snot on my trophy, I'll let you die in Venice.
