At one o'clock in the morning of Chinese time, the domestic online media exploded.

"Venice Express, the 65th Venice International Film Festival came to an end, and my country's famous director Wu Yuan won the Golden Lion Award for Best Film at this Venice International Film Festival, becoming the fifth Chinese director to win this honor after Hou Xiaoxian, Zhang Yimou, Cai Mingliang, and Jia Zhangke!"

"A Man Named Li Wen Decided to Die" won the Golden Lion, and Wu Yuan affectionately confessed to his girlfriend at the award scene!"

"Let the international director, the woman who changed the Golden Lion Award winner's view of love, count the love past between Wu Yuan and his girlfriend."

"A new film master has been born, and the youngest sixth-generation director, Wu Yuan, has taken over the banner of the leader of Chinese films!"

Although, it is still early in the morning in the country.

But in modern society, there are not many night owls, and the more nights there are, the more netizens surf the Internet.

The news that Wu Yuan won the Golden Lion Award in Venice exploded on the Chinese Internet as soon as possible.

In the past few years, it has really been a few years of excitement in the Chinese film industry.

Starting from Zhang Yimou's "Hero", not only has the domestic commercial film industry fully recovered, and the box office has skyrocketed every year, but also won art awards and honors every year.

In 2006, Jia Zhangke had just won the Golden Lion Award, but it was only a year later, and the Golden Lion Award in 2008 was won by Wu Yuan.

Chinese-language films are the three largest in Europe, and they have increasingly become mainstream and even strong contenders for awards.

And Wu Yuan, a post-80s generation who was classified as a sixth-generation director, also established his status as a leading figure of the sixth-generation director because of the Golden Lion Award.

In fact, according to the 2000 years since his debut, Wu Yuan can be regarded as both the sixth generation director and the seventh generation director.

And his film style is actually significantly different from that of the sixth generation of directors.

Like Jia Zhangke, Wang Xiaoshuai, Lu Xuechang, and Lou Ye, the sixth generation of directors who entered the directing department of the film academy in the mid and late 80s and began to direct films after the 90s, most of their film works are based on criticizing reality and focusing on the injustice at the bottom, which is very rebellious.

Otherwise, the sixth generation would not be called the underground generation.

It stands to reason that Wu Yuan, a director who entered the directing department of the film academy in the mid-to-late 90s and began directing films at the turn of the millennium, should be regarded as a seventh-generation director.

But who told him to take off too fast.

really put him in the seventh generation of directors, that is, to put the whale into a small pond, it is too explosive, and it does not give the seventh generation of new directors any way to live.

So whether it is inside or outside the circle, he tacitly divided into the realm of the sixth generation, and has become a generation with his senior brothers.

That's it, Wu Yuan has now become a leader and leader alongside Jia Zhangke in the seventh generation.

Early the next morning, the print media quickly followed, and in the morning newspaper published a photo of Wu Yuan standing on the Cannes podium holding the trophy.

This is really an explosion of public opinion.

From the Internet to the streets and alleys, everyone is discussing Wu Yuan, who has won glory for the country again.

In 2008, the four words "winning glory for the country" were the topics that all Chinese people were most concerned about.

On TV, CCTV's morning news column in the morning made a special report on the video material sent back, from Wu Yuan's arrival in Venice to being interviewed by CCTV and then to the final closing ceremony and awarding, there is a full review.

At noon, the noon news broadcast a short message and a two-minute video of the acceptance speech.

In the evening, after the news broadcast, the "Focus" column once again made a special report, and even contacted Chinese film critics who had seen the premiere in Venice, and asked them to express their comments on the movie "A Man Named Li Wen Decided to Die".

In short, it is just a sentence, for fear that some Chinese people will not know that Wu Yuan has won the award.

Compared with the more serious official media, the online media on the Internet have a lot of fun.

Because Wu Yuan thanked Liu Yifei when he delivered his acceptance speech, and also made a fleshy confession, many online media once again hyped up the relationship between Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei.

To be precise, this can't be called hype, after all, this is the atmosphere that Wu Yuan himself took the lead in rendering, and everyone is just helping to light a fire.

"Liu Yifei saved the galaxy in his last life, so he can talk about such a good boyfriend as Director Wu in this life, right?"

"What kind of idol drama-like love, Liu Yifei was less than 16 years old when she entered the film academy, I heard that I knew Director Wu at that time, and then after she graduated, she got along with Director Wu."

"The love that started on campus is pure and sweet!"

"Cut, it's obvious that Director Wu saved the galaxy in his last life, so let's talk about a fairy like Liu Yifei!"

"Didn't you listen to Director Wu, he wants to thank Liu Yifei for teaching him what love is, which allowed him to make this award-winning movie."

"Should I say it or not, I tried to watch Director Wu's previous "Love", but I didn't read it, the beginning was boring, the whole story was still very sad, it can be seen that Director Wu when he was not in love was really pessimistic about love, and it was Liu Yifei who saved him!"

"Ah, what kind of two-way rescue idol drama is this, a big director who doesn't understand love and a passionate little star, this pair is really sweet!"

On major forums, the so-called "fairy love" about Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei began to swipe the screen, and the discussion was hot.

Compared with Wu Yuan's award, netizens are more interested in the love he mentioned in his acceptance speech.

It's a pity that Weibo hasn't been launched yet, otherwise they would have to dominate Weibo for a week.

And after the news of Wu Yuan's award was transmitted back to China, the publicity actions of the Light and Shadow Era also followed up as soon as possible.

The poster and first trailer of "A Man Named Li Wen Decided to Die" were immediately announced on the Internet, all under the banner of "Venice Golden Lion Award Film Works".

Well, the publicity effect is not very good.

Everyone is boasting about all kinds of rainbow farts for the name of winning the award, but if you want to say how many fans will go to the cinema to watch this movie because of this, don't think about it.

Jia Zhangke's "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" won the 2006 Venice Golden Lion Award, and then how much box office did it get when it was released in the mainland?

The premiere was only 1,400 yuan for 2 days, and the final box office was 100,000 yuan

Although, Wu Yuan's fame is much higher than Jia Zhangke's, and the theme of "A Man Named Li Wen Decided to Die" is a healing film, which is related to love and family affection, which is easier to interest the audience, and it is impossible to get too much box office.

The high probability is between 10 million and 20 million, and the small probability is between 20 million and 30 million.

That's it, ninety percent of them still depend on Wu Yuan's own fame appeal.

In the whole of China, only the literary films of the two directors can be expected to have a box office of more than 10 million.

One is the newly sealed national teacher Zhang Yimou, and the other is Wu Yuan, the champion of mainland commercial films.

However, if you lose the east, you will reap the mulberry elm.

Why did Jia Zhangke keep making literary films when he knew that there was no market for literary films in China?

Of course, there is a profit!

The copyright of the award-winning literary film is expensive!

"The Good Man of the Three Gorges" bought a copyright fee of 40 million yuan in Venice.

This money doesn't need to be shared with the theater, and the producer will take it all.

This is equivalent to a domestic box office of about 130 million, and only the producer can get the income!

And the cost of "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" is not even 10 million.

In this era when domestic blockbusters are struggling to hit the box office and break 100 million, Jia Zhangke's movies are really making money.

Do you now know why in the first decade of the millennium, the influence of literary film directors was so great, and they were sought after and respected by all kinds in the circle?

Not only because he can win honors, but mainly because the directors of literary films who can win awards can really make money, and the efficiency of making money is higher than that of commercial film directors.

Capital is so realistic!

At this time, Wu Yuan was in Venice to deal with the sale of copyrights.

also won the Golden Lion Award, plus Wu Yuan's international reputation is much more famous than Jia Zhangke, "A Man Named Li Wen Decided to Die" is in Venice, it is called a sought-after!

His award-winning films, the copyright is even more valuable!
