Chapter 105: Winning Another Prize (1/4)

Venice, Wang Xiaoshuai is very depressed...

He also brought "The Intruder" to Venice, originally thought that he could take this opportunity to promote a wave - the Chinese film Venice is the only seedling or something...

Original time and space, through this shortlisting, he said a lot, similar to 'You have lost Zhang Yimou, do you want to lose another Wang Xiaoshuai?' ’

In fact, Wang Xiaoshuai's film has no problems in terms of technique and regularity of expression.

Plot development, rhythm, main line and subplot, ideographic system of theme.

Reading the whole story, there are no major flaws, and it can be said that his films can reflect his rigorous creative attitude and professional ability cultivated by good professional education.

But that's it, he's the kind with no talent!

The inspirational intuition of the artistic director's talent, which is very important, limits the artistic effect and novelty of his expression.

His films are neat enough, but they lack the "magic moments" that make people sigh and throw themselves to the ground – like the "magic moment" that Sorrentino gives us in the last ten minutes of "The Beautiful City".

Including the dream meeting of Jack and Rose in "Titanic".

When the camera flashed from the photos in front of Rose's bed, she did everything Jack said at the beginning, and then met in a dream.

Amazing, impressed.

In "Undefeated in the East", the moment when Dongfang Undefeated raised a pot to drink in the water, the heroic spirit of a man and the charm and coquettishness of a woman were perfectly integrated.

At the end of "Memories of Murder", Song Kanghao's big face that seems to understand is not understood, as if he is staring at the murderer in front of the screen and asks: This is your murder memory, right? With so many lives, what do you have to say?

Including Lao Mouzi's "Hero", the scene of Maggie Cheung and Zhang Ziyi fighting in an autumn forest, the bright red clothes and the golden autumn leaves form a strong contrast, with the actor's soft figure, which perfectly interprets the beauty of Chinese martial arts.

Wang Xiaoshuai's film doesn't have these...

Judging from "The Elephant Sits on the Ground", director Hu Bo happens to have some talent...

In fact, the best way to engage in art is to be like Li Zongsheng - after digging up Mayday, the money is invested, and a few of them can toss it according to their own ideas, the so-called helping people to send the Buddha to the West.

Wang Xiaoshuai is different, he has to let people do it his own way.

On the one hand, it advocates that 'directors are free to think and express themselves', and on the other hand, it suppresses young directors...

This man is insincere!

Pulled back, he finished watching "Parasitic Upper" in Venice and felt hopeless!

This movie far surpasses "The Intruder" in terms of depth, scale, and even watchability, and even opens up a gap with other works in the main competition unit...

At the beginning, the sixth generation rose to prominence by opposing the commercialization of the fifth generation.

After the capital entered the market, they relied on the 'high pressure' of art films to attract investment...

In those years, you can see a lot of traffic appearing in literary movies, for example, Wang Yuan starred in "The Earth is Long and the Sky is Long", Yang Xiaomi's "Baby"...

Are directors really optimistic about these actors?

The picture shows the purchasing power of fans!

The problem is, "Parasitic Upperclass" is of a very high standard, and Wang Xiaoshuai's proud artistry is not superior...

So what to do?

Keep up the stick!

In an interview with Time.com, he said: ""Parasitic Upper" is a fable... But I think it's more of a victory for the script, Zhang Yi has resources that are beyond our reach..."

"'Parasitic Upperclass' is a movie that aims to win awards, I don't think it's right, movie..."

"But you said before that movies can't just rely on the box office, after Zhang Yi joined TiMi Media, he no longer makes commercial films... Isn't that right? ”

"How much does it cost him? How much am I? He can do whatever it takes, can we? It's not fair! ”

“… I heard that "Parasitic Upperclass" costs 35 million..."

“…”

Wang Xiaoshuai shut up, and the reporter then asked: "Zhang Yi said that he pursues uniqueness, hopes to "swear endlessly", hopes to be innovative, and the book "Parasitic Upperclass" satisfies his ideas... What do you think? ”

"My idea is useless, let's wait until the festival is over!"

This sentence is tantamount to directly saying 'a movie that wins an award is a good movie'...

Well, I hope that "Parasitic Upperclass" failed to win the award - "Parasitic Upperclass" went to the Toronto Film Festival in addition to Venice, and the two film festivals overlapped, which means that Zhang Yi left halfway...

If you disrespect Venice so much, it shouldn't be possible to win the prize!

Unfortunately, the truth did not unfold as he imagined...

On September 5th, "The Intruder" did not receive an invitation to the closing ceremony and could only return to China gloomily, but "Parasitic Upper" received an invitation to the closing ceremony...

……

Domestic, entering September, the summer file is over.

Shen Xudong hasn't made many public appearances recently - he was about to vomit when he ran propaganda some time ago, and he really needs to rest!

didn't rest, directly found Da Tiantian and gave her the book of "Total War: The Great Wall": "I want you to gain at least ten pounds of muscle in three months..."

Oh, "Total War: The Great Wall" is a joint investment by Wanda, TiMi, Warner Bros., and China Film, Warner is responsible for global distribution, and mainland distribution is handed over to Maoyan + TiMi...

The total cost is $120 million, and Wanda provides half of the funding, provided that Da Tian Tian plays the female number one.

Shen Xudong doesn't care, anyway, his plot refers to Qian Shou BJ, which begins with the annihilation of the entire army on the expedition of a prince of the dynasty, and then the eldest princess played by Jing Tian is ordered to stick to the Great Wall in danger;

“… Gaining muscle? ”

"Yes, you are a female general, you have to wear armor, you are too thin to hold up!"

After thinking about it, he added: "I still have to receive relevant movement training..."

"But I'm going to record "Let's Run" next month..."

"Forget it this season..."Shen Xudong asked her rhetorically: "Do you want to be an actor or a variety show star?" ”

Da Tian Tian was distressed: "... I want to do it all..."

"That's not good, "The Great Wall" will be filmed for at least half a year, plus the preparation and training in the early stage, to say the least, it will take eight or nine months..."

"But if I leave, there will be no female MC in "Run"..."

"You don't have to worry about this, we will arrange a new person to replace you!"

"Newcomer?" Da Tiantian was curious: "Who?" ”

"Reba..."

"Reba..."Da Tiantian thought about her appearance and nodded, but still insisted: "... Actually, I can do both... Recording "Running Man" didn't affect my training..."

"But it affects my requirements for the movie, and I won't tell you, not only you, but Wu Jing is also leaving..."

"Why?"

“… Wu Jing was busy directing and acting in his own movie "Wolf Warrior", and he couldn't squeeze out the time at all..."

"Eh, I like 'Let's Run' so much..."

"People, you can't be too greedy, it's not advisable to want and want it!"

While he was talking, someone knocked on the door, and Shen Xudong shouted, 'Come in!' Then, Chen Duling ran in with surprise on his face: "I just received the news that director Zhang Yi won the Golden Lion Award for the third time with "Parasitic Upperclass"! ”
