Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

On the day of its premiere, "Moon" became the most popular film at the Venice Film Festival.

The audience at the film festival was particularly enthusiastic about the movie.

"Moon is amazing, it's the most incredible space movie I've ever seen!"

"The plot twist is so amazing, Tony Liang's performance is so outstanding, I think it's even better than "Lover"!"

"It's so futuristic. The space and the moon are so realistic and shocking. I plan to watch it again. I still don't understand the plot!"

"Is it true? I heard that the production cost of "Moon" was only six million US dollars. The special effects should be very simple?"

"I bet you it's definitely more than six million US dollars. If you don't believe me, go see it for yourself. The effect is amazing. The whole movie has the quality of a science fiction blockbuster!"

…

Word of mouth spread quickly, and tickets for the three screenings on the first day were quickly sold out. After almost every show, applause of varying lengths could be heard in the theater.

The entire creative team has completely put down their worries. Regardless of whether it wins the award or not, the feedback from the audience is quite good. From the perspective of word-of-mouth among ordinary audiences, "Moon" has been a success.

As for the evaluation of professional film critics, we have to wait for tomorrow's newspapers.

That night, Shanhe held a small celebration party at the Manor Villa Hotel. The creative team and Liang Jiahui's wife and daughter had Chinese barbecue on the beach in Venice. Although the taste was not very authentic, the atmosphere was very joyful.

The next morning, before Shanhe could have breakfast, Yang Liu knocked on Shanhe's door with a thick stack of newspapers.

"Boss, these are today's European newspapers. I have had them translated. Take a look, the evaluation of "Moon" is pretty good!"

Shanhe took the newspaper, looked at the translator, and browsed the specific content.

“The Moon: The Ship of Theseus That Never Landed—The first-century AD philosopher Plutarch proposed such a ship that sailed the seas for hundreds of years, constantly repairing and replacing parts. Until all parts are replaced, is it still the original Ship of Theseus? This is one of mankind's oldest thought experiments. The movie "Moon" extends this paradox to human nature... The glory of genius Kuniqiu sailed the Ship of Theseus into space. "Moon" is a masterpiece of space science fiction movies, bringing the audience not only wonder about the future, but also thinking about mankind!" - Italy's "Evening" post".

"The best science fiction film this year, bar none - "Moon" sets a new standard for space movies. What can we get at the intersection of imagination and reality?...Yiu finally put his genius on the screen On screen, too, Tony Leung's performance deserves a Silver Lion!" - France's Sight \u0026 Sound.

"The movie takes the audience into a mysterious and beautiful lunar world through magnificent scenes and exquisite visual effects. From the details of the lunar base to Abe's work on the lunar surface, every picture is full of delicacy and realism. This realistic presentation makes people feel as if they have personally experienced the wonderful journey to the moon, and makes people think more deeply about the infinite possibilities of the universe and the existence of human nature..." - France's "Le Figaro"

""Moon" brought people a brainstorm, including thoughts on the alienated relationship between humans and machines, the morality and ethics of human cloning, the paradox of human nature, etc... It is regrettable that Hua Guoqiu Shou The influence of commercial movies is too great, the movies are full of compromises for the audience, and art has been suppressed...Tony's performance is impeccable, I give him ten points!" - Germany's "Voice of Berlin"

…

European media reports on "Moon" have generally maintained praise and admiration. Liang Jiahui's performance has been unanimously recognized, but the film's weak artistic attributes have been widely questioned.

Shanhe had already expected these comments, and he didn't particularly care.

After flipping through the newspapers, he picked up the Venice Film Festival program.

Rows of asterisks in the table show the scores given to "Moon" by Venice Film Festival judges and invited commentators. Combined with the evaluations of various media and audiences, the overall score is: 3.3 points!

This is a good score, ranking first among the dozen or so movies currently released. This score was beyond Shanhe’s expectations.

His estimated rating for "Moon" is below three!

After all, the Venice Film Festival is a gathering of serious films and a carnival of art films, and Shanhe's requirement for "Moon" is to be both commercial and literary, and he is exploring his own style.

So I didn’t have high expectations for my first try.

The reason is that "Moon" is fresh enough. The novelty that Shanhe brought to science fiction movies impressed the judges and film critics. Coupled with Shanhe's influence, it got this high rating.

However, with the release of several popular and award-winning movies, including two Hollywood literary films, "The Queen" and "Hollywood Estates", both of which were regarded as seed candidates by the media, "Moon" will definitely not be able to maintain its top ranking.

Of course, the score in the program is not the basis for winning the award. Using the historical experience of the Venice Film Festival as an analogy, the film with the highest score in the program often misses the final Golden Lion.

"Moon" was well received by the media and audiences at the Venice Film Festival, and the most excited group was none other than the Chinese media reporters.

They all began to write hurriedly, and sent back to China the grand opening of "Moon" in Venice, coupled with the evaluation of the media journals, with added details.

As a result, the news that "Moon" was a hit at the Venice Film Festival began to spread throughout the domestic Internet.

"The premiere of "Moon" was star-studded, including big names from China, Europe and the United States. This is the real opening ceremony of the Venice Film Festival! "Moon" premiered in Venice this morning, and the guests present came from all over China, Europe and the United States. lock up…"

"The program score is 3.3! Shanhe's "Moon" is pointing at the Golden Lion, and Liang Jiahui's performance has conquered the whole of Europe. Who else is better than me as the best actor!"

""Moon" premiered in Venice and received collective praise from the European media, calling "Moon" the best science fiction movie this year..."

"Shanhe creates another miracle, conquering Venice and all of Europe with science fiction movies. It is reported that "Moon" not only has grand and realistic movie special effects, but also reflects on human nature and morality..."

…

The online media's extravagant praise of Shanhe and "Moon" suddenly aroused Shanhe's huge fan base to a climax.

"Didn't we agree that we would only go to Venice to play? Why do I suddenly feel like I am sure of winning the Golden Lion? What is Shanhe going to do? I won't win the Golden Lion at the age of twenty-two!"

"Here I go, you are worthy of being my idol. Dominating the country is nothing but making trouble internationally!"

"Shanhe, it's almost done. Get a golden lion and come back quickly. We're waiting to watch "Moon"!"

"I checked all the news about Venice at home and abroad. Why do I feel that both Shan He and Liang Jiahui should win awards? European movie fans are full of praise for "Moon"!"

"Really or not, take the ones upstairs and share them!"

…

The next day, domestic newspapers and magazines reported on "Moon" in more detail.

It not only reproduces the praises of many European media, but also analyzes the high and low standards of venue ratings for readers based on the history of Venice's past award-winning films.

From this, we can conclude that "Moon"'s 3.3 points is enough to capture the Golden Lion, and at least it can finish last with a Silver Lion.

In their reports, it was a foregone conclusion that "Moon" would win the award in Venice. Shanhe had incredibly conquered the world's oldest art film festival with its science fiction film!

In order to attract the public's attention, the news headlines are more exaggerated than the last, and the taste of headline party is getting stronger and stronger.

"The sound of mountains and rivers shocks the world, and the "Moon" is already in the sky without spreading its wings!"

"The mountains and rivers are whipping up in Caesar's hometown: I come, I see, I conquer!"

"Winning the Golden Lion in "Moon"? Ka Fai is crowned Best Actor!"

…

The media's lengthy reports and unconventional headlines have indeed attracted the attention of the public. Shanhe has always been a favorite in the eyes of the public at home, and everyone also likes to see him bringing glory to the Chinese people abroad.

Just like Yao Ming who plays in the NBA, everyone wants him to have 30+10 points every day. It would be even better if he has a triple-double or the best of the month. You have to read all the relevant news reports in newspapers and online without looking at anything else. It’s just cool!

Now that Shanhe wants to average a triple-double per game, he shouldn't care about it!

As a result, Shanhe, "Moon", and the Venice Film Festival have become the hottest topics in China recently. Everyone is talking about and looking forward to Shanhe's success at the Venice Film Festival.

Even Jia Zhangke and his "Three Gorges" also benefited a lot.

Before that, a few people cared about what movies the sixth generation made!

Shanhe's constant grab for headlines has even affected her younger sister Qiu Chuxi's small business. Recently, many regular customers from the school have asked her about Shanhe's posters.

The little girls have a lot of gossip and idol stories about Shanhe. Every time he hears them talking about his brother in his ears, Qiu Chuxi is both proud and disgusted. This is my brother. You little goblins still want to eat Tang Monk’s meat. ah! How unreasonable!

But having said that, my brother is so popular that he doesn’t even have a single poster. This is so unreasonable. Otherwise, if I use his photo to print thousands of posters, I will definitely make some money!

Qiu Chuxi's little head turned again, what would happen if her mother found out about this? You will definitely not be able to keep your bankbook, and you probably won’t be able to do business anymore, the risk is too great.

Hi, what a shame! It's better to catch Jay Chou, he's not as handsome as my brother!

Xie Meiyu and Qiu Jiang also received congratulations and envy from many people because of their sons, and were often asked for advice on educating children.

However, they have already experienced the unexpected surprises brought by mountains and rivers. Apart from the joy and pride in their hearts, they are very humble on the surface. Even the title is the child's own efforts!

As soon as they got home, the two of them were very active. They picked up the computer and started browsing the Internet for news reports about Shanhe.

Together with Yu Zhengchong, the old couple, and Qiu Chuxi, who is well-informed about gossip, the family discussion was full of passion.

"Look at this situation, Xiaohe will bring a trophy back to China this time. Will my son also become a great director in the future?" Xie Meiyu said happily looking at the laptop.

Qiu Jiang also had a smile on his face, but he was more reserved than his wife, "You can only believe half of what the media says. Besides, great directors only talk nice things. In terms of achievements, writers are more impressive!"

Xie Meiyu's habit of communicating with her husband is to quarrel, and she subconsciously retorted: "Why does the director have no style? A writer can be the director of the Olympic opening ceremony! My son wants both brushes, I am happy just thinking about it!"

"What Meiyu said is right. A good film director is no worse than a writer!" Yu Zhengchong also added with a smile: "Xiaohe is so impressive. Your wife and I chatted all night, and I thought about how the naughty guy in the past has become It’s like a lifetime ago to meet today’s great writers and directors!”

"The teacher said that the return of Hong Kong Island in 1997 was not only a turning point for the country, but also a turning point for our family. Xiaohe grew up all of a sudden!" Qiu Jiang said with emotion.

"This is the choice of the times. Prosperous times will always be reflected in individuals, just like Li Bai and Su Dongpo. There is God's will in the dark!" Yu Zhengchong said with a sigh on his face.

"Was my brother naughty when he was a child?" Qiu Chuxi asked curiously, regardless of God's will, "Why don't I remember? I remember that he used to play with me all the time, and he loved me since I was a child!"

Xie Meiyu burst out laughing, "Your brother always hated you when he was a child. He always said you were a crybaby and a follower. He always left you alone and cried loudly, and ran away without a trace!"

"Impossible!" Qiu Chuxi glared at her mother and said, "Mom, you are slandering my brother. You are not jealous of my brother's kindness to me!"

"I'm jealous of you little girl! Your brother is the flesh that fell from my body!" Xie Meiyu raised her hand and slapped Qiu Chuxi on the back, "You are also the flesh that fell from my body. I think you need to take care of it." !”

Ha ha…

There is a lot of hype about Shanhe in China, but Shanhe is living very comfortably in Venice!

The premiere of "Moon" has ended, and my main mission in Venice has ended. The remaining time can be regarded as a vacation trip!

In the next two days, in addition to participating in the film festivals of "The Night Banquet" and "Baby Project", Shanhe and his team members wandered around the streets and waterways of Venice.

They visited St. Mark's Square, the Bridge of Sighs, St. Mark's Basilica, the Grand Canal and other famous attractions in Venice.

Venice is composed of 118 artificial islands in the lagoon and an adjacent artificial peninsula. The city is crisscrossed by 117 waterways.

There are no cars in the entire city of Venice, and the most common means of transportation is "gondola" boats. The entire city seems to be floating on the sea. It is indeed a masterpiece of human transformation of nature!

The most attractive thing here is the architecture and culture, which embody the essence of Western civilization. The roots of the Renaissance come largely from Venice. Before the advent of the Age of Discovery, this was the undisputed center of Europe!

The cultural landscape of Venice is indeed amazing and fascinating. Unfortunately, as the sea level continues to rise, the city is destined to sink to the bottom of the sea!

As the festival progresses, more and more filmmakers from all over the world come to this island. They come here not for awards and pilgrimage, but for film deals.

The biggest reason why the three major European film festivals are famous around the world is not the awards, but the film trading markets they come with.

Surprisingly, the Venice Film Festival is famous for its literary films, but the market is filled with commercial films.

The world's largest movie consumer market is still Europe and the United States. They need more types and more movies to fill their cinemas.

Of course, European and American films also take this opportunity to promote their film values ​​and concepts to the rest of the world.

It can be said that the film festival is setting standards for movies. If you want to come to me to become famous and make money, you can, but you have to obey my standards!

Jia Zhangke's "The Good Man from Three Gorges" is the standard for Chinese movies by Europeans and Americans.

Gray sky, mottled walls, chaotic piles of ruins, collapsed houses, rusty pipes...

In their eyes, China will always be like this. The movies produced by Jia Zhangke are indeed very vivid and even scary!

But in Shanhe's eyes, this is not art, it is just a negative copy-paste version of reality.

He said this before the film premiered: We forget too easily, so we need movies.

Shanhe agreed with what he said, but hated his tone. Perhaps it was because they grew up in an awkward period when Eastern and Western cultures blended together. The sixth generation directors always put themselves in a repressed position to look at problems!

This is completely contrary to the actual development of China. In your eyes, prosperity has become the helplessness of the abandoned. It is really speechless!

There are indeed pros and cons to the construction of dams, but why do you only photograph the social ills so vividly, as if Chinese people are born to live in depression?

Maybe Europeans and Americans don't understand, but don't you, a Chinese, understand that when the floods hit the sky in 1998, you didn't grieve for your compatriots who were swallowed up by the floods, and didn't you shed tears for the soldiers who jumped into the breach risklessly?

Shanhe dislikes "Three Gorges" very much. Perhaps the director's language of this film is indeed remarkable, but this film is destined to not be liked by audiences in China. The reason is not simply because it is a literary film, but It is its intention that deviates from the public!

If "Three Gorges" wins the award, then Jia Zhangke should thank Europeans and Americans for their understanding of China. Maybe that's what he came for!

After Shanhe attended the Venice premiere of "Three Gorges", he walked out of the Cinema Palace without saying hello to Jia Zhangke or responding to reporters' questions.

Different road non-phase plan!

Not surprisingly, "The Good Man" received acclaim from the Venice Film Festival, and the entire European and American media were loudly praising Jia Zhangke's surrealism.

Chinese journalists also called Shan He and Jia Zhangke the biggest surprise of Chinese films at the film festival.

Shanhe no longer dwelled on the discomfort in his heart. After all, the world in everyone's eyes was completely different.

Not to mention the differences between people, sometimes this difference is even greater than the difference between people and dogs!

Shanhe is waiting for the arrival of his girlfriend!

On the fourth day of the film festival, the creative team of "The Devil Wears Prada" came to the Venice Film Festival to promote the film, and Anne Hathaway was among them.

Shanhe met his bright-eyed girlfriend at Marco Polo Airport. He did not shy away from the reporters around him, and stepped forward to give Hathaway a long-lost affectionate hug.

"My dear, why don't you avoid reporters today?" Hathaway asked softly in Shan He's ear.

Shanhe replied jokingly: "They have known for a long time that you are coming to Venice, and they have been waiting for this time. I can't let everyone down!"

"Haha..." Hathaway smiled and gave Shan He a gentle kiss, "Qiu, I'm so looking forward to this trip to Venice. You have to accompany me to the Bridge of Sighs. I hope to get an eternal kiss there!"

"Of course, no problem!" Shanhe let go of Hathaway, "My dear, won't you introduce it to me?"

"This is David Frankel, the director of "The Devil Wears Prada", and this is Meryl Streep, a famous evergreen in the Hollywood film industry!" Anne Hathaway introduced her boyfriend. .

"Hello, I'm Shanheqiu, nice to meet you!" Shanhe shook hands with the two of them one by one.

"Qiu, your name is Hollywood's know-it-all, Far East magician who has never failed! I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation!"

"Qiu, I'm looking forward to seeing your movie. "Moon" has been widely praised and praised in the Hollywood film circle. It is called a space movie comparable to Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey". You It’s incredible to have such talent at the age of twenty-two!”

"You two are overly praised. "The Devil Wears Prada" has two talented people joining in to create it. It will definitely be an amazing movie!"

"Welcome to the Venice premiere of The Devil Wears Prada!"

"David, you should give me a publicity bonus!" Shanhe joked with a smile.

Ha ha…

Shanhe smiled and said hello to David Frankel and Meryl Streep who were standing by him.

Then he walked outside the airport while reporters asked questions and took photos.

As soon as they got out of the airport, Shanhe took Hathaway into the car and drove away. The crew of "The Devil Wears Prada" naturally wanted her.

Shan He and Hathaway are transnational lovers. One is a world-famous novel writer and film screenwriter, and the other is a Hollywood superstar. They have no shortage of attention.

And because of the differences between the East and the West and their unique love styles, they have received more attention and love from the Eastern and Western media and the public. It can be said that they are already the most famous couple in the world!

As long as they are together, it is the biggest promotion for "The Devil Wears Prada"!

Before Shan He and Hathaway could express their feelings to each other, photos of them lovingly embracing each other at the airport were all over the major portals in the East and the West!

The titles are even more varied!

“There is no better winner than this in life when you have both fame and fortune in mountains, rivers and Venice!”

"Hathaway went to the water city to meet her lover, her face was full of love, she hugged the actress in the mountains and rivers of Venice, she had an extra hand!"

"Hua Guoqiu welcomes M Lijian's baby, it's hard to sleep tonight!"

"Hathaway is finally watered, and Hua Guoqiu is willing to be a flower farmer!"

…

Of course, Shanhe and Hathaway would not disappoint the ridicule and jokes of the media. They left the night to their instincts. The style of Venice was particularly enchanting this night!

In the next two days, photos of Shanhe and Hathaway traveling in Venice frequently appeared in newspapers and magazines from various countries.

The kiss between the two under the Bridge of Sighs made headlines in many media.

"The Bridge of Sighs witnesses an eternal kiss, and the Pacific Ocean cannot stop romantic love!"

The relationship between the two was reported by both Eastern and Western media and was called a model of love.

They persisted in their love for five years despite being divided by the Pacific Ocean, and were even called a miracle by the media in Hollywood!

The Chinese media also maintains a good impression of Hathaway, affectionately calling her China's daughter-in-law.

Maybe everything is possible, but neither Shanhe nor Hathaway dare to make promises to each other. They both still have a long time for the future.

Just follow your heart!
