Chapter Seventy-Six: The Aviator

"Aren't you tired of replying one by one?"

"No, I'll just pick up a few replies..."

Shen Xudong didn't look back.

It was Chen Hao who spoke...

"The Aviator" starring Huang Bo and Chen Hao.

In the main competition unit, the organizing committee arranged a special room, but... There are only three rooms.

It's simply not enough to live!

TiMi Media brought two films this time, "The Aviator" and "Witnessed by the Whole People", and the main creative team alone is almost a dozen people, as well as the accompanying staff!

Book two suites at the Hipriani Hotel next door – $8,000 per set per night!

Why are you so willing to spend money?

Stepping on a horse, the faction will cost more than $800,000 anyway, so why bother with this money!

Oh, and a lot of the money for the party is half sponsored by the brand – Gong Li will be in attendance.

A dose of luxury!

Shen Xudong stayed at the Hipriani Hotel...

In addition, the Venice Film Festival really costs money, not to mention anything else, the water taxi is 250 US dollars per hour, and if you want to sell the film, you have to advertise it in the house book - the advertising price of the front and back cover of the house book such as "Screen" is about 150,000 yuan per issue!

Do you want to buy it?

So, hesitating, either you don't go, or if you come, you have to spend money, and money has to be spent!

Unless you can be sure of winning the award, or you don't care much about overseas copyrights, you didn't spend any money like last year's "Outstanding Citizen", relying on quality, you won a bunch of reports in the house magazine...

"The Aviator" is not bought, after all, it was shortlisted for the main competition unit, and "All the People Witness" has to be bought, right?

The films screened are sold for copyright, if you don't publicize them, who will buy them?

Pulling it back, Chen Hao sat directly on his lap and looked at what he wrote: "Will you offend people?" ”

"To offend whom? What I wrote is not the truth? ”

β€œβ€¦ That's not good..."

"It's okay, I've published it all..."

Seeing him say this, Chen Hao could only nod his head, and suddenly remembered something: "Do you say I want to write a few blogs?" ”

Shen Xudong pondered for a moment, and then said, "... Whatever you want, don't deliberately follow the trend..."

"Follow the trend? With whose wind? Xu Jinglei? ”

β€œβ€¦ You say it, you don't say it! ”

"I'll see what she wrote!"

Chen Hao clicked the mouse, crackled for a while, and then popped up Xu Jinglei's blog...

After watching it for a while, I saw "My University", and couldn't help but squirt: "Made, this kind of pretending to be a cultural person is the most annoying!" ”

β€œβ€¦ People just feel it..."

"Phew..."

Chen Hao rolled his eyes: "It's like who doesn't know her!" ”

Shen Xudong shut up...

He doesn't just share his true feelings with people!

The senior sister rubbed a few times, squatted down skillfully, and suddenly asked: "... Did you sleep with her? ”

β€œβ€¦ Nope..."

"That's pretty much it!"

……

The Aviator premiered at the Palazzo CinΓ©mako in Venice on the Marconi Riviera.

The Venice Cinema Palace includes four halls, four small halls and an open-air screening area, which ensures that the main competition unit, horizon unit and other participating films can have more than three screenings.

"The Aviator" arranges a hall...

The film is a single-line narrative, according to three time periods, 1978, 1992, 2002...

The first starring role tells the life experience of the male protagonist and the dream of flying;

The second paragraph is to resign and go to the sea, and the first flight failed;

The third stage is that he has cancer, has six months left to live, and is desperate to achieve his dream...

Zhou Shen and Liu Lu's camera control is a little immature, the narrative is plain, and the plot is relatively stretched, but the transition is a little abrupt...

Shen Xudong simply suggested that they be divided into three paragraphs, each with a subheading.

But even so, I can still see that the two directors are a little rusty, not the kind of thing that is very round...

Mature directors have a place for each of their ups and downs, which is the product of long-term training.

Another point, the camera basically revolves around Huang Bo playing Li Mingqi, although Huang Bo acted very well, but it was not organically combined with the changes of the times, avoiding the turbulent changes in Chinese society, and there was a sense of unreality.

However, the audience bought it, and the story was quite good!

Especially in the last scene, Li Mingqi played by Huang Bo flew to the sun, and the back given by the camera and his shout 'Ahhh

Chen Hao's childhood sweetheart's ex-girlfriend laughed and cried: 'That was the last time I saw Li Mingqi, and that day I saw him fly into the sun! ’

As soon as the screen went black, a line of small print appeared: "Why did you climb Mount Everest?" ”

"Because the mountains are there!"

"Why are you flying?"

"Because the sky is there!"

At the end of the movie, the response was very good, and the audience gave a standing ovation...

In fact, the global audience's requirements for movies are just one sentence: good story, sincere, and not pretentious.

Including several Chinese filmmakers who came to cheer, they also applauded...

But it's not that simple for film critics!

"The Aviator"... It's a bit of a shadow of "Forrest Gump", but the background is just a brief introduction, and there is no meaning to explore.

And a lot of the shots feel a little stiff...

The ending is romantic, but romance means clichΓ© – isn't "Goodbye Lenin" romantic? Isn't "Flying House" romantic?

In a word, there is potential, but not enough depth.

Moreover, "The Aviator" is the work of the main competition unit, who cares if you are a newcomer or not...

You have to squirt when you need to!

……

During the film festival, as long as the crew is not so poor that they jingle the crew, they will generally hold a drinking party after the film is released...

Usually studios, filmmakers, judges, and, by the way, the media, are invited to attend.

Last year... There was no drinking party.

Because the price of a cocktail party starts at least $100,000...

Why don't you invite more than 100 people?

The venue, the food, the drinks, the waiters...

You calculate an account, eat, live, travel, advertise, hold a drinking party... Can you just sell the copyright to get it back?

So, last year's "Outstanding Citizen" did nothing at all.

This year, isn't there money!

Huang Bo's face was almost stiff with laughter - he really couldn't tell what these people were talking about, but he didn't care what others were talking about, and the laughter was over.

Shen Xudong accompanied Zhou Shen and Liu Lu to meet various people, and the people who met the most were the heads of major film festivals - they received a lot of invitations, hoping to bring "The Aviator" to their film festival to be screened, and the cost was all-inclusive.

It's really like what Ning Hao said: when you enter a film festival, you will be invited to other film festivals and travel around the world for free...

-- More than 60 countries and regions around the world have held more than 300 international film festivals of various titles, either individually or on a rotating basis. More than 20 countries in Europe, 144 film festivals have been held...

Also, if you win a prize, there is a bonus!

Last year's "Outstanding Citizen" bluffed for about half a year and won a bonus of nearly 2 million...

As for the invitations to these film festivals, Zhou Shen and Liu Lu will not all agree, but they will definitely agree to some - cooperate with the distribution and publicity!

You are a low-budget film, it is impossible to promote it on a large scale, you can only use the film festivals around the country to promote a wave...
