288 Two Europes? Eastern Europe vs. Western Europe!
All this is by accident, it is indeed unexpected, he has made himself an explorer and innovator of literary films.
What else can I do now? Fortunately, his film knowledge is relatively solid, and he can at least blow something out when he is questioned by many filmmakers.
Even if he can't blow it out, he can be that he is exploring, and this is within the scope of his thinking.
Not to mention, it can really fool people.
"I didn't expect He Fang to grow so much in the theory and exploration of films, I admire it." At this time, Zhang Yimou, who had returned to China and was looking for someone to write the script, was shocked when he saw the relevant reports.
Isn't it always true that foreigners think about it first, and then Chinese learn it? How did a Chinese come up with a new theory in the film industry and then set off a wave around the world?
So, this thing is very sensational.
Especially when a director wanted to shoot a dirty mess in Shanghai to artificially create such a thing, some domestic directors were angry, which was implying that they were fake.
"Some people think that they are complacent when they have made a little achievement, and then they can slander others at will, we have always been objective and fair in making movies, strictly adhering to the principle of speaking for the society and developing for the bottom, and will not deceive." Section Chief Jia couldn't hold his breath and jumped out to refute.
His messages immediately exploded, accusing him one after another.
"Which story didn't you make up yourself? Which of your stories is true? You take the nonsense story as a social event, phew, and pretend that you are objective and fair. ”
"Maybe Chief Jia did shoot some social phenomena, and some of them do exist. However, the story in the movie is definitely made up, this one is for sure. Which part of "Xiao Wu", "The Good Man of the Three Gorges", and "Heaven is Destined" is based on real events? Aren't they all made up? So boasting that you are objective and fair, this is a bit of a. ”
"Except for "A Tale of Twenty-Four Cities", which actually made a feature film in the name of a documentary, which other movie is objective and fair? He also said that he was complacent about making small achievements. You are a cut older than He Fang, but your results are far worse than He Fang, what qualifications do you have to say that He Fang's results are only small achievements? Just because you won the Best Screenplay Award at Cannes this year? ”
"I didn't name you anywhere, why are you jumping so fast? Where do you want to rub the heat? Are you eligible? In addition to making a dirty and messy movie, have you ever made a movie that can be recognized by the audience? ”
……
None of the domestic filmmakers stood up to help Chief Jia speak, there is no way, where is the boss of the industry in China, and abroad, people are faintly leading the film reform, as if they want to become a new generation of global film leaders.
The key is not only in the literary and artistic circles, but also in the business circle, people have also won many consecutive movies around the world with high box office, and they have also been invited by major Hollywood companies to make superhero movies.
So no matter at home or abroad, where are you a well-known figure, what are you a Jia section chief? In this case, who would dare to side with you?
During the ten days of the Venice Film Festival, He Fang felt like a debater, debating with others every day, and then checking materials and writing documents at night, just to slowly refine his ideas.
He was forced to do all this, and he didn't want to do it at all.
It wasn't until September 6, after a final debate with various filmmakers, that he completed an idea of nearly 100,000 words in the evening, which he titled "Exploration of Cinematic Art in the 21st Century."
Before going to bed, he sent this article to the world's most famous film academic journals and review magazines such as "Film Handbook", "Sight and Sound", "Film Review", "Contemporary Film", and "Film Review".
What are these magazines? Their status in the film industry is like that of magazines such as Science, Nature, and Cell, and the average film researcher can get bonuses and ratings and salary increases if he or she can publish articles in magazines such as "Film Handbook", "Sight and Sound", "Film Review", "Contemporary Cinema", and "Film Bulletin".
This is the first time that the journal receives the article, and the review team headed by the editor-in-chief begins to review the article.
Generally speaking, they agree with the thoughts, otherwise they would not ask for a manuscript from any source, but only say that there are no loopholes and flaws in the narrative and expression.
He is still confident in this, he has been writing scripts for several years, and there is no problem in writing things. It's like some authors, who have been writing scripts for many years, and they can't put an end to typos, mistakes, omissions, and sentences, which really affects reading.
How can you ignore this, you can keep him busy these days, send an email and take a shower and then fall asleep, it depends on tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow morning, if they can receive a call from the organizing committee, they will attend the awards ceremony in the evening, and if they can't get it, they will go back to shoot "Operation Mekong", where the preparations are nearing completion, just wait for him to go back and accept the acceptance, fine-tune it, and then start filming.
On September 7, He Fang got up early in the morning, went to do a morning exercise, and played a set of Tai Chi.
As soon as he returned to the room, Leonardo came to announce the good news.
"He, the organizing committee called and invited us to attend the award ceremony in the evening, and we have won a prize."
"Aha, this result is not bad, and I am not ashamed in front of filmmakers all over the world. You have to be prepared to speak in your acceptance speech, and there is a good chance that it will be the actor award. He Fang said and gave Leonardo a cigarette.
"It's hard to say, what if it's the Golden Lion Award?" Leonardo laughed.
"No way, to be honest, 'Dallas Buyers Club' is not the standard of literary films at the three major film festivals." He shook his head.
"But didn't you say it these days, this is a kind of exploration of literary films, why can't you?" Leonardo came over to borrow a fire from a lighter somewhere.
"Ahem, these are two different things. Theory is far from reality, impossible, believe me, my judgment will not be wrong, you just have to be ready to speak. He Fang comforted.
"Well, I believe you."
It's also good to be able to win a Venice actor, he won the Berlin actor at the three major film festivals, and it was in 97 that he won the Berlin actor with the role of Romeo in the movie "Romeo and Juliet".
16 years have passed in the blink of an eye, during which he has never won the top actor award again.
Of course, the Golden Globes don't count.
Why doesn't the Golden Globe count? Why is it not so famous?
Quite simply, the Golden Globes are not professional film awards, they are just awards from the Journalists' Association.
What are professional film awards? It is an academic film award recognized by the International Association of Film Producers, which is called a professional film award.
If you win another Venice actor, it will be Leonardo's top performance award after 16 years, although it is not as popular as the Oscars, but theoretically it is also equal, but the commercial value of the Oscars is too high, and it is the best in the world.
At noon, He Fang originally wanted to take the crew to celebrate in advance, but there were too many filmmakers who came to say goodbye to He Fang, so He Fang didn't have time to eat.
Only halfway through a hamburger and a cup of coffee.
There is no way, everyone comes to say goodbye to this kind of friendship, although some filmmakers failed to win the award in the end, but they feel that this trip is also worth it, at least after ten days of film discussion with He Fang, this harvest is not low.
It was more than three o'clock in the afternoon, He Fang was finally busy with these, and then went to the hotel to do a simple makeup and dress-up, and the hairstylist gave a hairstyle......
"He, don't worry, I'm in the penultimate place, it's very early." Leonardo smoked a cigarette, played with his phone, and was at ease.
"I'm not in a hurry, mainly because I don't want to be fiddled with here for a long time, and I don't like to be put on makeup."
"So what's the way to do this? It's good to get used to it......"
The two chatted like this, and then it was about six o'clock when the staff urged them to take a courtesy car and prepare for the red carpet.
The red carpet of the closing ceremony was finally not as messy as the opening ceremony, and it was finally normal, probably because the organizing committee was criticized from all sides and became serious.
Italians, you can't say they're not rigorous, but they're definitely not aggressive. It's only when they're under pressure that they really do something practical.
Europeans are like this now, they are too lazy to do anything, mainly because their ancestors have robbed them of too much wealth around the world, causing them to not even eat for hundreds of years, live a chic and comfortable life, and then start to be lazy and not work hard.
This situation will soon bring them backlash, because they can no longer rob their offspring of wealth, although they have made many rules to ensure their advancement, but it is not known whether it is useful or not.
For example, they have formulated the use of the climate problem to restrict the development rights of the industrialized countries that have not entered the industrialized countries, and completely put some backward countries on a backward level to produce raw materials for them, and they control high-end production.
Such a design, for now, is going well, and I don't know about it in the future.
It's far away, mainly the three most famous film festivals in the world, which are made to a mess by them, and you can see the whole picture at a glance, which is a manifestation of decline.
It was already seven o'clock in the evening when they stepped on the red carpet, but this was also the end of the red carpet.
As for the time it says in the brochure? Sorry, it's nice that they're able to finish at about this point, it's pretty impressive.
The most correct thing that the Venice Film Festival did this time was to invite the "Dallas Club" film to participate, which not only concealed the benefits of their opening ceremony, but also gave the audience something to watch, and because He Fang's new ideas attracted the attention of filmmakers around the world.
If it weren't for that, they would have almost stolen a lot of attention from the Toronto Film Festival.
No, as soon as they walked on the red carpet, many reporters shouted at them to walk slowly and let them pose in various poses.
Even the host Eva was shouting for them to go slower and meet the requirements of the media reporters.
The Venice Film Festival needs attention, it needs popularity, so they have to let the participating stars help them attract attention.
"He, first of all, congratulations on winning the prize, do you want to guess what the prize is?" Eva asked.
"This ...... Anyway, it's one of the ten prizes. But I'm most optimistic about the Best Actor Award, which I believe is the most outstanding merit of our film. He Fang replied very sincerely, without grandiose words.
"Haven't you ever thought about the Golden Lion?" Eva asked.
"Yes, of course. However, in terms of safety and possibility, the actor award is the safest. ”
"Well, Leonardo, what about you? Is it the same opinion? Eva asked.
"I don't know, I can't predict. During this time, I have also seen that many actors in other movies are also very good, so it depends on the judges. In addition, since it has entered the final list, it is not surprising to win any awards, of course, the Golden Lion is the best. Leonardo spread his hands.
"Okay, then good luck tonight, please, please come in."
……
The awards party, the movie palace is very plain, there is no festive or festive atmosphere at all, I don't know if their pursuit is like this, or they are too lazy to bother.
It doesn't matter anymore.
After more than ten days of getting along, most of the people inside are familiar faces, and everyone shook hands and hugged warmly as soon as they came in.
After tossing for a while, everyone sat down, and then under the prompting of the host, the awards party began.
Although there are only eight awards in the main competition unit, only five awards in the horizon unit, plus a lifetime achievement award, it seems that there are only fourteen awards in the entire awards party, but it is not.
There are many small awards in front of them, such as the Venice Day Award, the Best Picture of the Euro-Mediterranean Region, the Golden Rat Award, the Mimo Rotella Foundation Award, and the Human Rights Film Network Award......
By the way, speaking of this human rights film network award, the award-winning film "Ukraine Is Not a Brothel" also made a lot of news during the film festival, that is, a Ukrainian feminist organization called Feynman took to the streets of Venice, which really feasted everyone's eyes.
Tong Weidong, who felt novel, even put down He Fang's security work and didn't go out of his way to see it, and then he was amazed, there were really a lot of strange things.
Speaking of which, I just want to say that in fact, there are a lot of messy awards attached to the three major film festivals, you say they are not serious, and they are officially allowed by the three major film festivals, you say they are serious, and the official seems to draw a line with them.
Anyway, it's just to make money, not chilling.
This kind of small award has been awarded for nearly an hour and a half, and only then does it start to have some slightly more serious awards. For example, the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Horizon unit awards, this is the real most exciting award session.
The Best Picture in the Horizon section went to a film called "Oriental Boys", a gay film about a group of boys under the age of 25 who enter Western Europe from Eastern European countries and break into Paris.
Daniel, a single middle-aged man in the movie, looks for Malek at the station, but unexpectedly attracts a bunch of thugs to ransack his house, Malek feels guilty, and still comes back afterwards to complete the deal......
He Fang squeezed out the time to watch this movie, and after watching it, he felt a feeling...... Eastern Europeans are Western Europeans' playthings.
This is the case with the previous "Ukraine is not a prostitute", and this "Oriental Boy" is also like this, both men and women are the playthings of Western Europeans.
