Honestly, this edition of Venice cinema feels like a mess with a capital letter!

Domestic media reports are also full of 'major mistakes have been criticized', 'the film festival is chaotic, the stars are crazy, and Venice has suffered a 'disaster day'"

Harvey Weinstein, who took "The Merchant of Venice", spewed directly: "I've never seen such a chaotic film festival, so you have to remind them publicly." I just stood on the stage and said, 'Who's going to take care of that?' ’”

Not only Harvey, but other filmmakers also complained: "The organization is really bad, there is no shortage of people, and there is no one to answer the phone call to the office." ”

The filmmakers also agree that this year's festival is worse than in any previous year: "All the films are late, the events are over-scheduled, there is no break between screenings, it's too layman's!" ”

The Italian media also devoted a great deal of space to attacking the festival's organizational loopholes.

By the way, Harvey offered $4 million to buy out the global distribution rights to Citizen Illustrious...

also promised to help impact the Oscars or something...

Shen Xudong didn't speak, although he felt that the impact on the Oscars was probably a lie, but they really took out $4 million...

Real money...

The contract signed directly, the money was given!

By the way, Shen Xudong was also invited to be the screenwriter of the American version of "Outstanding Citizen", which was also directly paid, with an advance payment of 50,000 US dollars...

Why is Harvey so generous?

It can only be said that Harvey has made money in recent years!

Indeed, Disney bought Miramax — Disney paid the Harvey Weinstein brothers $130 million, and Disney got the right to use the name "Miramax" and inventory of more than 800 Miramax films.

Now Harvey has money.

Of course, the most important thing is that the play "Outstanding Citizen" is interesting, and his series of plans can be used perfectly, after Venice, he is ready to take "Outstanding Citizen" to the Toronto Film Festival, and with a little operation, the sale of copyright can almost return to the capital...

After arranging the release, it will be pure profit!

If it's like "Boundless", it's really hard to work...

"Wu Ji", Harvey watched the film, and then offered $20 million to buy the North American distribution rights, paid $500,000 in advance, after seeing the finished film, he regretted it directly, and he didn't want the $500,000 in advance, and broke the contract directly, and then China Film pulled the strings, and "Wu Ji" asked Warner to help distribute it independently...

Released in 208 theaters, it was released for 20 days, and the final box office was $669,000...

It's too crotch-pulling!

Personally, I feel that Harvey still attaches great importance to Chinese films, in the early years, the first Chinese film he released was Zhang Yi's "Ju Dou", "Ju Dou" brought a box office of 1.98 million US dollars, and then Miramax released films from Hong Kong such as "Double Dragon Club", "Smiling Proud Jianghu 2: Undefeated in the East", "Chongqing Forest" and other films.

Moreover, "Hero" is Miramax's most profitable work in recent years...

If "Wuji" is really optimistic, there is no reason to break the contract, and it offends China Film...

Or is it because "Wuji" is too bad - Chen Kexin's original words: The world sells very badly, except for the mainland...

Ahem...

But no matter what, no matter how chaotic it is, the Venice Film Festival is always the Venice Film Festival, and the weight and status of the three major European ones are here!

So, it's understandable to be nervous about bluffing...

Shen Xudong is so calm about Mao?

Because he knows that this year's Best Screenplay went to Howl's Moving Castle...

This is one of the few film festival awards that Miyazaki has won!

Shen Xudong is sure that there is no drama...

There is no probability at all...

……

"Thank you very much to the jury for awarding this award to me, in China, in the old days, actors were the ninth rate actors...

Of course, after the new China, we called literary and artistic workers. ”

On stage, Chen Daoming delivered an acceptance speech: "Although I am a literary and artistic worker, as an actor, I actually don't have too many opportunities to express my views and opinions.

Now that I have won this award, I can finally say that I am also a literary and artistic worker, and I can say that I can't do it openly! In the future, I will choose a part of the content and people that I can talk to about in society. Because I think that in this life, I can't just please others, as an actor, I should occasionally please myself! ”

"Thank you again to the jury, thank you..."

Chen Daoming folded his hands and bowed...

All kinds of applause from the audience!

I can't say it, but this passage is really beautiful.

Guan Yu also stood up and applauded, but there was a trace of loneliness hidden in his eyes - after winning the actor award, it is basically certain that he will not have a chance with the Golden Lion Award!

Shen Xudong didn't think about it so much, and then applauded...

Wang Qingqiang applauded and secretly regretted - Made, it was sold cheaply!

won the actor award, and it can be sold for $5 million, to say the least!

Art films are usually not meant to sell money, but they are still market-oriented, so why do these people participate in film festivals?

In addition to winning awards, the most important thing is to promote your works through the platform of the film festival, so as to attract more buyers...

In fact, several major international film festivals in Europe have become the only way for films from third world countries to "go global", to be precise, the only way to the European and American worlds, and thus it has become a narrow door for third world artists to rush to achieve international success.

Wang Qingqiang, as the issuer, has a commission, and he made at least $100,000 less!

Cao Xiwen was stunned throughout the whole process...

There was only a surprise left - "Outstanding Citizen", she was only a supporting role, and she didn't take it too seriously, she left after two weeks of filming, and then she was actually shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival, and she also walked the red carpet with her...

Now, I have won the prize!

……

Sina Entertainment, NetEase News, including Sohu News, sent the news back to China as soon as possible...

Paper media should be slower, after all, it is necessary to typeset and print, and the photo of Chen Daoming holding up the silver lion trophy on the Internet portal directly publishes it on the front page!

How to say it...

Let's win glory for the country...

Shen Xudong chatted with Chen Kexin before, mentioning the 01 Olympic bid, he said that he didn't understand that 'the dignity of a country depends on the success of the Olympic bid, this thing is ridiculous!' ’

It's a pity that Chen Kexin is Thai, and he estimates that he can successfully distinguish 97 genders, and can understand that the American beauty pageant champion is a fat and strong ladyboy...

But he does not understand China, does not understand the Chinese ...

Pulling it back, the front pages of major portals are 'Chen Daoming is the emperor of Shuicheng', '"Outstanding Citizen" won the best actor, and Chen Daoming was crowned the best actor'...

Sina directly published the manuscript written before: "Congratulations to Chen Daoming for becoming the third actor to win the Venice Film Festival actor award after Gong Li and Xia Yu, and also the seventh Chinese actor to leave his name in the three major film festivals after Zhang Manyu, Gong Li, Xia Yu, Ge You, Xiao Fangfang, and Liang Chaowei!" ”

"I also want to congratulate director Guan Yu and screenwriter Shen Xudong, because of them, "Outstanding Citizen" was born!"
