The 68th Venice International Film Festival was held in Venice, Italy from August 31 to September 11, 2011.

On August 28th, Wu Yuan came to Venice, a city bordering the Mediterranean, in advance.

He came alone, and did not come with the Huaxia Legion.

No way, as the president of the jury, he needs to keep a distance from the crews shortlisted for this year's Venice Film Festival, not only can he not have any personal contact, but even during the festival, he is not allowed to say anything tendentious to the shortlisted film crews.

Comments such as "I'm optimistic about your movie", "This movie is very well made", "This movie is not very good", others can say casually, but the judges of the jury must be silent.

Fortunately, Wu Yuan is the chairman of the jury this time.

In this year's Venice, there was a person who gave him a lot of headaches and also came to participate.

Yang Zi took the crew of "The Legend of the White Snake" to rub the topic.

That's right, it's the big one on Huang Shengyi's side.

Yang Zi is really thick-skinned, when he was doing "The Legend of the White Snake", he licked his face and came to the Light and Shadow Era, hoping to cooperate with the special effects company of the Light and Shadow Era, and then promote this movie under the banner of the Light and Shadow Era.

For cooperation in special effects, the era of light and shadow is of course completely open, as long as you give money, you can make special effects.

But Yang Zi still wants to use the name of the era of light and shadow to promote "The Legend of the White Snake", that is, he wants to eat fart.

Anyway, this cooperation didn't come to a conclusion in the end, Yang Zi went to Haolaiwu to find a third-rate special effects company, and advertised that he was cooperating with Haolaiwu, and the special effects of "The Legend of the White Snake" will be the best in China, and it is also first-class in Haolaiwu.

Well, it really deceived him into the expectations of many netizens.

Then Yang Zi didn't know where to get the opportunity to participate in the Venice Film Festival, although he couldn't be shortlisted for the main competition unit, but he came to get a Venice premiere, and it was no problem to participate in the film week activities.

With his cheeky personality, if Wu Yuan wasn't a judge this year, he would definitely pester Wu Yuan from beginning to end, asking him to help stand for "The Legend of the White Snake" or something.

He is not interested in giving a platform to "The Legend of the White Snake", this movie that fooled Li Lianjie into making a cameo, and as a result, he made a cameo as the leading actor, there are too many moths, and Wu Yuan doesn't want to touch it at all.

However, Lou Ye's new film "Flower" held its first media screening at 2 pm local time on August 30, Italy, and Wu Yuan took the initiative to go to the show.

However, there was a little problem before the screening, the official opening of the film festival only had sound and no image, and the audience began to heckle, and the screening was forced to be suspended for more than ten minutes.

After tossing and turning for a while, the fault was eliminated and the screening resumed.

This "Flower" tells the story of the heroine who decides to quit her job as a teacher in Beijing and go to Paris to find her boyfriend after the Sino-French love affair that blooms in Yanjing City withers.

Well, although Lou Ye is a Chinese-language film director, "Flower" is an out-and-out French film, and most of the characters in it also speak French.

And this movie is still very Lou Ye, and the film is full of a lot of restrictive eighteen forbidden content.

However, the reason why this movie is a French film is not because there are too many restrictive content.

Don't ask, the question is that Lou Ye can't make Chinese films at the moment.

Lou Ye was banned from directing in China, and when he was preparing to shoot "Summer Palace", he participated in the Cannes International Film Festival in violation of regulations because he did not obtain a review and approval order from the Film Bureau.

And Wu Yuan heard Han Dong talk about it, although Lou Ye's five-year ban on making movies has expired, the script that Lou Ye sent to the Film Bureau still has not followed.

The Film Bureau neither approved nor passed it, and it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any reply.

So much so that although Lou Ye himself did not arrive in Venice, and did not even come to participate in the media screening of "Flower" this time, he asked the French producer of the film to help pass on some of his criticisms.

"Due to the existence of film censorship, the Chinese film market has long been out of touch with the international market. And the directors who are making underground films in China like me, their main market is the international market. ”

When the blonde-haired French producer helped Lou Ye deliver this sentence in front of reporters, Wu Yuan was on the scene.

He sneered, got up and left the screening.

Lou Ye was indeed very talented.

He is Wu Yuan's direct brother and was born in the directing department of the 1985 film school.

A "Suzhou River" caused a sensation in the mainland film circle and was hailed as the hope of the sixth generation of directors.

But this senior brother seems to be thinking about shooting something restricted, and it seems that if he doesn't shoot restricted, he can't express the "art" in his heart.

In order to shoot the art in his heart, Lou Ye has been working against the Film Bureau almost all the time.

Then he was taken by the French.

The French did hold him very high, and later awarded him the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres de France.

But the "international market" in his mouth is really funny.

Is it really for the so-called international market that the French are holding him so much and have been taking money from the film fund to make movies for him?

Lou Ye's French films may not necessarily have a good box office, and they actually lose money.

The content of the movie "Flower" is dressed in a layer of literary films, in fact, to put it bluntly, isn't it to tell the story of a Muyang dog woman?

A Huaxia teacher named Hua, after a failed Sino-French romance, she abandoned everything she had for a French man and went to France to find him.

As a result, she found a boyfriend in France, but in the end, she still couldn't change her mind.

Wandering in a strange city, the lost flower meets a French blue-collar Matthew, who immediately shows his hospitality to this Chinese girl and violently takes possession of her, and the desperate heroine also accidentally falls in love with Matthew.

Although Matthew is madly in love with flowers, he and his friends seem to have always treated them as female cousins, and the rift between the two gradually becomes like a chasm.

The muddy days in Paris and the love and resentment with Matthew made Hana feel homesick and confused, and then there were all kinds of X love......

The funniest thing is that at the end of the movie, the flower that was tasted by 10,000 people in France returned to China, and the ex-boyfriend of the flower, Mr. Ding, played by Zhang Songwen, never forgot the flower, although he had a girlfriend, but after the flower came back, he still chose to be with the flower and wanted to marry her.

Well, after Mu Yangnu sent the cannon thousands of miles, there was a turtle man's spare tire to pick up the plate when she returned to China, and even if she abandoned her girlfriend, she had to take this Mu Yang girl's plate.

Absolutely, absolutely absolutely!

This is the so-called literature and art, and this is the art in Lou Ye's eyes.

Wu Yuan only felt disgusted.

What kind of good can a film that the French film fund is willing to pay money for?

At this time, why didn't Lou Ye shout for creative freedom, swap the genders of the male and female protagonists in the story, and shoot a French female cousin's journey to find love?

Why did he lick it so thoroughly at this time?

Lou Ye, who filmed "Suzhou River" back then, was talented and amazing, has disappeared, and has been replaced by a good dog that has been raised by foreign funds.

Wu Yuan was disgusted, and the first thing he did when he returned to the hotel was to call back to China.

"Han Dong, Lou Ye can't lift the ban, talk to the boss, and seal him for another ten years!"

"His new movie is really disgusting!" (End of chapter)
