Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Shan He and Hathaway enjoyed a rare reunion, and the Venice Film Festival entered its second week.

The ten-day film festival has entered the later stage, and most of the films in the main competition have completed their Venice premieres.

Several high-rated films stand out, including the French film "Privacy", "Untouchable", the French-Italian film "The Golden Gate", the Hollywood film "The Queen", "Hollywood Estate", "Children of Men" and the Chinese film "Moon" and "The Good Man" have become seed contestants at this Venice Film Festival.

Among them, "The Queen" and "The Good Man" have the highest popularity, but the most popular film festival is Shanhe's "Moon".

Nearly 20 screenings in a week were completely unable to satisfy the audience. Shanhe conquered the Italian audience with an atypical science fiction film.

At the same time, "Moon" has received surprisingly high attention from global media.

Not only did the media in the three places in China always report on the popularity of the movie in Venice, there were numerous reports in other Asian countries, and even Hollywood was also publicizing it.

In addition to the good reputation of "Moon", the most important reason is the strange couple Shan He and Hathaway!

The two are undoubtedly the hottest figures in the world this week. Maybe it’s because their relationship has been known to the world for a long time, but they are rarely seen together. Everyone is really curious about their relationship!

So, in the past few days, the general public in the East and the West have been eating the dog food that these two people are constantly spilling with relish!

This gave a pair of wings to the promotion of "Moon". Zhong Lifang, who was discussing distribution with Disney, showed his teeth when he smiled. Zhong Lifang, who originally planned to package the European and American distribution to Disney, immediately changed his mind.

The unplanned gathering of Shan He and Hathaway gave Zhong Lifeng a bold idea. It is entirely possible for "Moon" to have a simultaneous global release!

If the operation is successful, this will be China's first movie to be released simultaneously around the world. This news will be more effective than any hype in China.

At the same time, it will also help expand the global influence of Shanhe and "Moon". Judging from the current popularity, the global box office of "Moon" will never be less than 50 million US dollars, and it will not be surprising to even exceed 100 million US dollars!

Simultaneous global release is a must! Zhong Lifeng secretly made up his mind.

As soon as Zhong Lifeng made the decision, the entire Chuhe Film and Television Marketing and Distribution Department began to be full of energy.

It will be released simultaneously all over the world. This is originally an exclusive weapon for Hollywood movies. This time we are also trying something new. It is really exciting and exciting!

Within a few days, Disney's North American distribution negotiations came to an end, and Rick Besson's Europa Pictures came to the door again. It's really time and space to work together!

Seeing that the global simultaneous release plan of "Moon" is coming to fruition step by step!

Just waiting for the good news to come from the Venice Film Festival. Everything is ready, all we need is east wind!

The huge popularity of "Moon" in Venice made Shan He and Liang Jiahui the most popular filmmakers among movie fans in Venice.

Liang Jiahui is in the limelight this time. He already had a good reputation in Europe. Amber's outstanding performance in "Moon" made him famous again in Europe.

Almost all media predictions are lamenting that there is no suspense about the performance awards at this Venice Film Festival. The performances of Helen Mirren in "The Queen" and Liang Jiahui in "Moon" are obviously better than other actors.

If nothing else, the Venice Best Actor and Best Actress have already settled down!

The European media's predictions suddenly made the Hong Kong Island media climax. Hong Kong Island is going to have another movie star!

Liang Jiahui has entered the most glorious period of his life, and domestic media reports have already dubbed him the Venice Best Actor.

Especially for the media in Hong Kong, it is very difficult. Hong Kong movies are in decline, so it is not easy to make big news.

For a time, reports about Leung Ka-fai spread all over Hong Kong, and almost all newspapers and periodicals had "The Moon" and Leung Ka-fai as the headlines on their front pages.

"The Thousand Faces Best Actor Award is crowned. All the best actor's surname is Liang?"

"Jiahui Water City shows off its power, but Qifeng Venice is disappointed!"

"Ka Fai acted alone in "Moon" and became the best actor, while A Zu Shuicheng was "Exiled"!"

…

Compared with the acting awards, the Golden Lion and other awards are confusing. The most popular ones are "The Queen" and "The Good Man", but the French film "Absolute Privacy" has the highest score in the program, and the most popular one among the audience is Shanhe. "Moon".

After accompanying Hathaway to the Venice premiere of "The Devil Wears Prada", Shanhe had already received news that the "Moon" crew had been invited by the organizing committee to the closing ceremony of the film festival.

This means that "Moon" has definitely gained something. This is the practice of the three major European film festivals. As long as you are invited to participate in the closing ceremony, you will definitely not leave empty-handed!

The entire "Moon" creative team cheered. Before coming to Venice, everyone had already talked about it. Without asking too much, as long as it can participate in the full film festival, it is a victory.

Everyone knows very well that the winner this time is probably Liang Jiahui, after all, his performance has been unanimously recognized!

Liang Jiahui was even more excited. He was crowned emperor of the three major European film festivals. This opportunity probably only comes once in his lifetime!

On the day he was invited, Liang Jiahui treated the entire creative team and Shanhe Hathaway to a Venetian seafood dinner.

At dinner, Liang Jiahui excitedly laughed loudly with all the team members, and his best friend even pretended to be a reporter, shouting "Best actor, best actor" to imitate the interview!

This caused the whole table to laugh.

After finishing the meal and serving dessert, Liang Jiahui said with emotion to Shanhe beside him: "Shanhe, when I first met you in Beijing, I had an intuition that meeting you would change my acting career. Look, My intuition is very accurate. You have brought me to the most glorious place in my life. No matter whether I win the prize or not, I am already satisfied. Thank you for your original promise. You are a trustworthy person!"

Shanhe picked up the champagne and clinked it with Liang Jiahui, "Brother Hui, we are helping each other. Your temperament and acting skills are the most suitable for the role of Amber. Your performance in the film is the core of the film. Without your efforts, We probably won’t be able to come here. This time, 90% of the Venice Best Actor is you, and we are all proud of you!”

Liang Jiahui drank up the champagne in one gulp, "Shanhe, we are friends now. If you have anything to say, you can talk to me. I still have some connections in the Hong Kong film industry!"

Shanhe nodded and smiled, "Okay, if I go to Hong Kong Island in the future, I promise to come to you first!"

"no problem!"

…

After a pleasant dinner, Shan He and Hathaway walked and chatted on the private beach next to the hotel.

In Venice in September, the beach has a beautiful night, the sound of waves, the gentle sea breeze, and the lights and buildings along the road give people a unique taste of the Mediterranean coast.

The two of them walked and chatted happily.

"Qiu, I really envy Tony. He has already won the Best Actor award. He has won the Best Actor award at the three major European film festivals. Although it is not as sensational as the Oscars, it is still a very important award. I don't know when I will get one. Sufficient acting awards?"

Shanhe looked at his girlfriend next to him and patted her hand holding his, "Annie, for things like winning awards, you first have to have enough acting skills, and then you have to be lucky. Look at Tony Liang, he's so fast He is fifty and has been acting for decades. In China, he has long been known as the actor with a thousand faces. If you want to win international awards, you have to rely on opportunities. You are only twenty-four years old and you are already one of the few actresses in Hollywood. No need to worry, hone your acting skills first, and then I will help you!"

"I know!" Anne Hathaway turned her head and gave Shan He a gentle kiss, "My dear, most of my current achievements are because of you. The beach at this time reminded me of our first time again. For dates, Venice Beach in Los Angeles is not as beautiful as here, but I still prefer it because my hero was born there!”

"Haha..." Shanhe also turned around and kissed Hathaway gently, "Annie, my first kiss was taken away by you on the beach in Los Angeles. I was confused by you at the time!"

"Then I'll let you relive it again!" Hathaway smiled and kissed Shanhe's lips, and Shanhe hugged his girlfriend and was intoxicated.

For a long time, Hathaway leaned in Shanhe's arms and whispered, "My Chinese boy has become more mature and powerful!"

The two of them quietly enjoyed the tender tranquility on the beach. The sea in the distance seemed to cooperate with them, shining with a romantic light.

I don’t know how long it took, but several sounds of children and dogs woke up the intoxicated couple.

The two looked at each other, smiled, and gave each other a light kiss.

"Annie, let's go back!" Shanhe said while hugging his girlfriend's waist.

"OK!"

Shanhe turned to look at Hathaway and asked: "Has the sequel to "Pirates of the Caribbean" been filmed?"

"It's finished!" Hathaway replied, "This time Disney is planning to complete the second and third parts in one go. I heard from Jerry that there will be a fourth and fifth part in the future, but I don't I plan to continue acting again, I think the whole story is complete, right?"

"Annie, you made the right choice!" Shanhe looked at his girlfriend and responded, "The third part of my story has been completed. There is no need for you to get stuck in this series anymore. This will not help your dream of becoming an actor. I think It would be good if you take on a few more films like "The Devil Wears Prada", which will allow you to practice your acting skills and the box office won't be too bad either!"

Anne Hathaway hugged Shanhe and leaned on his shoulder and said softly: "I listen to you, Qiu, you have always been my hero. It would be great if I could be your heroine in the future. We can attend the Oscars together. I often I can dream about that scene!”

"Then you probably have to wait a few years!" Shanhe responded with a smile, "Before 2008, I didn't have time to go to Hollywood to make movies!"

"It doesn't matter, I already like the feeling of waiting." Hathaway asked softly, "Qiu, when I miss you in the future, can I go to China to find you?"

Shanhe turned to look at Hathaway, lowered his head and kissed her cheek, "Of course!"

…

In the evening breeze of Venice, the two people's backs gradually disappeared into the distance along with the footprints left on the beach.

As time goes by, the Venice Film Festival has come to an end. Film teams that did not receive invitations have either left Venice or promoted their films at various cocktail parties.

At this time, Zhong Lifeng rushed to Venice. After getting off the plane and settling into her accommodation, she and her colleagues in the marketing and distribution department began to contact various film producers.

This time she is planning to come up with a gimmick of simultaneous release on five continents, and use the momentum of "Moon" to improve the global distribution channels of Chuhe Film and Television.

South America, the Middle East, and Africa are all her targets. No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat!

Of course, Shanhe fully agreed with Zhong Lifeng's decision. He had great confidence in Zhong Lifeng's distribution skills, but he did not have her business talent!

An unexpected reunion between myself and Hathaway was actually released simultaneously worldwide by Chung Lifeng. What a talent!

The closing ceremony of the Venice Film Festival came as scheduled. Compared with the nonsensical opening ceremony, the closing ceremony seemed much normal.

Most of the people walking on the red carpet were still the same people as before, but there was Hathaway beside Shan He. The two of them were dressed in fancy clothes and waiting in the car.

Hathaway wore a silver card-shoulder evening dress, which highlighted her slender and graceful figure. The gorgeous diamond necklace brought sexy elegance to the exposed collarbone and white neck.

"Annie, you look stunning tonight!"

"My dear, tonight is a good day for you. As your female companion, I must be the most beautiful!" Anne Hathaway caressed Shan He's face and said, "Of course, I can wear it alone for you tonight!"

Shanhe was aroused by Hathaway's teasing intentionally or unintentionally. Western girls are really bold, but I like it!

Shanhe grabbed Hathaway's catkins and kissed her on the mouth, "It seems I have to get a trophy tonight to cheer up the fun!"

Hathaway covered her mouth and chuckled: "My dear, you will get your wish, I promise!"

Soon it was the "Moon" team's turn. Sister-in-law Liang did not want to show up on such an occasion. Liang Jiahui walked on the red carpet in front of Shanhe with his two identical twin daughters.

As soon as Shan He and Hathaway walked onto the red carpet, the fans around them immediately gave out the loudest cheers in the room to welcome these two most popular multinational couples in the world.

The reporters focused their cameras on them. Shanhe followed Hathaway's rhythm and walked forward. Female stars are much more popular than men on the red carpet!

I wonder if a domestic “carpet star” who specializes in red carpets has been born at this time. If you take a walk here, your net worth will soar when you return home!

"Annie, look here!"

"Qiu, can you get closer to Annie?"

"Annie, can you kiss Qiu?"

"Come on! Qiu, be enthusiastic!"

…

Shanhe complained for a while, why don't they just give you a section that is not suitable for children?

Anne Hathaway is naturally familiar with such occasions. She dealt with the reporters with an indifferent smile and blew a few blowing kisses to the fans on the side from time to time!

Shan He completed the longest red carpet walk under the leadership of Hathaway.

Then the host asked a bunch of non-nutritious questions.

Shanhe only made a few excuses, expressing his lack of ambition in expecting to win the award. As for questions about their relationship, Hathaway was mostly responsible for handling it.

After entering the Venice Film Palace, Hathaway smiled and teased Shan Hedao: "Qiu, you haven't changed at all. You still don't like the red carpet so much. Your body is so stiff that you can't let go!"

Shanhe smiled and responded: "I'm not a celebrity, so I don't have to get used to this kind of situation!"

"My dear, it's a pity that as long as I am your female companion in the future, you will have to accommodate me like you did today. These endorsements of mine have time requirements on the red carpet!" Hathaway pointed to the necklace and earrings. Said with a smile.

Shanhe nodded and smiled, pulling Hathaway's catkin towards the venue, "I understand, Anne, you don't need to explain to me, let's go in!"

Since the two of them entered the venue very late, after exchanging a few words with acquaintances who were seated, the stage for the closing ceremony began.

Mark Mueller, chairman of the Venice Film Festival, took the stage and made an opening statement. Perhaps due to time constraints, the entire closing ceremony was very fast-paced and went directly to the awards ceremony without too many speeches.

The first awards were given in the Short Film and Horizon categories.

To Shanhe's surprise, the winner of the Best Film in the Horizon category was the Chinese film "Court on Horseback".

Shanhe had seen this movie in Venice. Director Liu Jie took an old judge from a remote mountainous area in the southwest as the protagonist. The whole film is both a documentary and a feature film. It is rough but real, and the style of the sixth-generation director is obvious.

But Shan He likes it better. He has no prejudice against literary and artistic films. Literary and artistic films are the highest state of film art. There is no doubt that literary and artistic films are indispensable to any mature film market!

It’s just that the film market must mature first. When the pie gets bigger, artistic films will have more resources!

Shan He looked at the surprised Liu Jie on the stage and applauded him enthusiastically.

Then the black Hollywood director Spike Lee's "When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts" won the Best Documentary Award.

This four-hour documentary records in detail how the city of New Orleans, M, was turned into ruins by Hurricane Katrina, and how the city's residents were forced to move around due to the government's ineffective disaster relief measures.

It’s shocking to see. Every country has its shortcomings, and not everything in Country M is good!

The pace on the stage was fast, and soon it was time to enter the highlight of the entire closing ceremony: the awarding of the main competition unit.

The chairman of the jury, French actress Catherine Deneuve, took the stage to briefly describe the work process of the entire jury and thanked the members of the jury for their hard work.

Subsequently, the first award of the main competition unit, the Best Newcomer Award, was awarded to French director Isldur LeBesco for "The Untouchables".

Amid applause and cheers, the young French director, with a smile and a hint of disappointment, went on stage to receive this award that a person can only win once in his life. He knew that this meant that he would miss out on the next big prize. Pass!

Any film festival is, to a certain extent, a piece of cake, unless the film is irrefutably good.

Then the Best Debut Film Award and the Best Cinematography Award were awarded one by one, but "Moon" did not win.

The photography of Bai Yuxia in "Moon" was great, but he still failed to win this award. Shanhe patted the somewhat disappointed Bai Yuxia next to him comfortingly.

While I feel sorry for Bai Yuxia, I also have a bit of expectation. The next award is the Best Screenplay Award. This is the most promising award for "Moon" besides Best Actor.

The entire team is looking forward to award-winning guest Park Chan-wook saying the English word for the moon!

"The winner of the Best Screenplay Award is——" Park Chan-wook paused for a while, and the "Moon" team in the audience was ready to stand up and celebrate at any time.

""Queen"!"

The guests and the audience in the audience all let out unexpected low exclamations.

"The Queen" is the most powerful contender for the Golden Lion Award. Winning the Best Screenplay Award will most likely mean that it will lose the qualification to compete for the Golden Lion. It is impossible for the organizing committee to award several awards to one film!

The "Moon" team was relieved at this time. They couldn't even win the screenwriting award from Shanhe. They were not very lucky! Is the organizing committee really planning to balance the awards?

It seems there is only one Best Actor!

Shanhe was also a little surprised at this time. He only remembered that the winner of the Golden Lion was "The Good Man". He thought that "The Queen", which was so popular, would also win the Jury Award or the Silver Lion for Best Director. Unexpectedly, it was I got the best screenwriter I hoped for the most!

It seems that "Moon" only has one Best Actor award, which is not bad! This is a science fiction movie after all!

Hathaway on the side took Shanhe's hand and stroked it silently to comfort Shanhe. Shanhe turned his head and smiled at her, indicating that it was okay.

After "The Queen" director and screenwriter Stephen Frears took the stage with a disappointed speech, the best actress award continued on the stage.

Without any surprise, "The Queen" won consecutive awards, and the heroine Helen Mirren undisputedly won the title of "Queen".

Next up is the Best Actor Award. From the moment Helen Mirren started speaking on the stage, Liang Jiahui felt his whole body trembling slightly. The waiting for these few minutes was the most difficult. Will there be any accidents? What if it gets hot? What to do if you die, this is your best chance!

After Helen Mirren excitedly said her words of thanks, the famous Italian actor and jury member Michel Placido walked onto the stage with an envelope.

"The actor's performance is always the most attractive part of the movie. A good actor brings not only performance to the movie, but an overall change..." Michelle Placido said in the opening paragraph.

"So let's see who is the best actor at the 63rd Venice Film Festival?" Michel Placido opened the envelope, took a look, and announced loudly:

"The undisputed Tony Liang!"

In an instant, the entire "Moon" team jumped to their feet, and Liang Jiahui was even more excited to hug and kiss his family members.

Then hug and thank every member of the team.

Amid the warm applause and cheers from the audience, Liang Jiahui finally walked up to Shan He and gave Shan He a heavy hug, "Thank you!"

Shanhe patted Liang Jiahui on the back and said, "You deserve this! Hurry up to the stage to receive the award, everyone is waiting for you!"

Liang Jiahui let go of Shanhe, smiled at him, waved to the stage, hugged Sher Placido, and took the little silver lion symbolizing the Venice Best Actor from his hand.

He picked up the small silver lion and waved to the "Moon" team in the audience. He leaned in front of the microphone and said in English amidst the applause: "This trophy is not my honor alone, it belongs to the entire "Moon" team!"

The applause rang out again, and the "Moon" team clapped excitedly and happily.

Liang Jiahui continued: "Everyone knows that the director of "Moon" is Qiu, who is only twenty-two years old, but you don't know that he gave me a promise when he was twenty. This promise was fulfilled six months ago, and I became The leading actor in his movie. When I first got his script, wow, everyone knows what Qiu's script means. I think there will be many male actors who want to knock me out and then mercilessly kill me. It’s snatched away!”

Ha ha…

"The script is so great! It's tailor-made for the actors to use their acting skills. The only thing that bothers me is its genre. I've been acting for almost 30 years and have never been exposed to science fiction movies. But Qiu let me experience it again." The pain and struggle of a new person is what makes me stand here. At this moment, what I want to tell you is, never forget your beginning. Although it may be far away from you sometimes, But it’s very close to success!”

The applause started again!

"Finally, I want to thank Qiu again, thank you for your commitment! Thank you to my dearest family, thank you to my wife and daughter, you have given me the warmth and strength to persevere!"
