Non-famous Actor

At 7:00 p.m., the official opening of the Venice International Film Festival, the host is Ines Sastre, an actress from Spain. After this beautiful woman with a height of 1.73 meters came on stage, she smiled and spoke Chinese One sentence [Chinese film, happy 100th birthday]!

Such a blessing immediately won warm applause from thousands of guests and fans throughout the movie palace. Chinese filmmakers represented by Sun Hao, in particular, were a little excited inside. While applauding, they shouted: "Chinese film, happy birthday!"

The opening ceremony of the Venice International Film Festival is as simple as ever, introducing the jury, introducing the participating films, and then playing the opening film.

This year's opening film is "Seven Swords", adapted from Liang Yusheng's martial arts novel "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountains". Sun Hao believes that the story is a good one, but this time, it was Mr. Xu who made a mess.

Except for Mr. Xu who can be seen in the past at the beginning of the movie, the whole movie is in a state of out of control, with messy editing, messy dubbing, and the performance rhythm of the actors is also messy, as if everyone is busy rushing to work.

What's more terrible is that, as an action movie, the fighting scenes are not exciting, and Sun Hao is drowsy after watching it.

In the previous life, when Sun Hao watched "Seven Swords", he was still very puzzled. Is this still the old monster Xu who can make a series of classic martial arts movies such as "Huang Feihong" and "New Dragon Inn"?

But now, Sun Hao finally knew what was wrong with Mr. Xu. Like Wu Baige, he lost his sense of being a film director.

In fact, after "Shushan", Old Monster Xu fell into a creative low tide period, "Black Man 2" is the same, and "Seven Swords" is also the same, and when he comes out of the low tide period, at least a few years later, "Di Renjie: Tongtian Empire" ".

Of course, compared to Wu Baige, Old Freak Xu is quite lucky, at least he came out.

But it was a tragedy for Wu Baige. Whether it was the movie "Red Cliff" with huge investment, or "Taiping Wheel", which was called a high imitation of "Titanic" by the industry, they failed to meet the expectations of investors.

Ever since, Wu Baige has gradually disappeared from the circle since then.

...

On September 1st, the day after the opening of the Venice International Film Festival, the entertainment pages of major domestic newspapers and the entertainment pages of the three major portal websites were covered by the same two news.

[Sun Hao, Li An, Xu Ke, Wu Baige appeared in Shuicheng, and the four giants of Chinese film unveiled in Venice]

[Venice International Film Festival Chinese-language film "Seven Swords" opens, Chinese films dominate the show]

The pictures in newspapers and websites, without exception, are all pictures of Sun Hao waving to fans and audience with a smile on his face.

Although this year's Venice Film Festival is full of good films, the possibility of "The Piano" winning the Golden Lion is slim, but there should still be a chance for other individual awards.

For example, Sun Hao, who was nominated for Best Actor, maybe he will be able to bring back a Venice Film Festival best actor trophy for our country after Xia Yu? !

As a result, many people in China pinned their hopes of winning the award on Sun Hao.

Of course, some melon-eating netizens said, don’t we have another Chinese film director, Li An?

The American film "Brokeback Mountain" directed by Li An was also shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice International Film Festival this year.

However, compared with these enthusiastic netizens who eat melons, the domestic media is very calm, and even gave some professional analysis.

The gay-themed movie "Brokeback Mountain" is not the genre that the Venice Film Festival is keen on, but it is what Cannes is willing to accept and accommodate. But Cannes returned the goods to "Brokeback Mountain".

According to French media reports, "Brokeback Mountain" was eliminated because the Cannes film selection team believed that Li An was becoming more and more commercialized, and the film repeated the gay theme of "The Wedding Banquet", but failed to impress the judges.

Therefore, Sun Hao's old friend George Clooney's "Good Night and Good Luck" is the recognized hot film of this year's Venice International Film Festival.

However, no matter how the media comment on "Brokeback Mountain", Sun Hao, who is also a Chinese-language filmmaker, will definitely support its premiere.

And on the red carpet at the premiere ceremony of "Brokeback Mountain", Sun Hao met Li An.

"Director Li An, hello."

There was a smile on Li An's face, and he couldn't stop looking at Sun Hao with slightly curious eyes: "Director Sun Hao, hello!"

"Director Li An, besides the movie "Brokeback Mountain", do you have any other filming plans recently?"

"Yes, of course!

I feel that director Kaige wasted the novel "Lust, Caution", and the filmed thing is completely moaning without disease, so I plan to write the script myself and start over. "

I don't know if it's because Li An has lived in the United States for many years, but at this moment he speaks very straightforwardly, saying whatever he wants, without being afraid of offending others.

"Hmm..." Sun Hao hesitated slightly.

"Director Li An, "Lust, Caution" has just been released. If you remake this movie at this time, it seems that it will be difficult to recover the cost at the box office."

"Ha ha…"

Li An laughed.

"Director Sun Hao, whether the movie will make money or not is your investor's business? As a pure film director, the first thing I consider is not whether the movie will make money or not, but what I want to make, what I want to make.

It's not a task imposed on me by capitalists. "

"Well, that's an out-of-the-ordinary word!"

Thumbs up to Li An, Sun Hao didn't mean to flatter him at all, but admired his freedom and ease.

Anyway, the money does not belong to me, as long as you dare to pay, I will dare to shoot the motherfucker.

"Sun Hao..."

"Um?"

"Is the movie "The Piano of the Piano" sure to win?"

Hearing this, Sun Hao shook his head without confidence, "To be honest, it's enough.

Because I have never shot any literary films before, and the screenwriter and director Zhang Meng is a newcomer, and he also does not know the rhythm and style of filming literary films. I have a feeling, how did this movie become a commercial comedy? "

"Ha ha…"

Li An laughed.

It’s really like this, whether it’s shooting a movie or creating a novel, in the end, there will often be a situation where the creator can’t control his own work at all.

However, Sun Hao is very calm about this: "Director Li An, I am mentally prepared, as long as the audience likes it."

After chatting with Li An again, Sun Haozhi walked into the cinema.

Although the media was not too optimistic about "Brokeback Mountain", there were still a lot of people present, and the entire screening hall was full.

In his previous life, although Sun Hao had watched this film, he watched it on a computer, which is completely different from watching it in a movie theater.

And Li An is indeed very good. He filmed the love story between two cowboys in the western United States in a delicate and touching way. Although it is a fringe story of the West, he made it show an oriental style.

"Brokeback Mountain" ended in sadness, but the audience in the cinema was silent for a long time. They felt the shock from their hearts, and the eyes of many female audiences were moist.

However, at this moment, Sun Hao's cell phone in his trouser pocket vibrated.

【I, Yu Qing, you had a good time in Italy, right?

Now let me tell you some news, just now, the man surnamed Jiang went to Hong Kong Island angrily.

I guess your movie "Avatar" is ready to actually accept his investment, hehe... Of course, the money definitely belongs to the Li family! 】
