Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

Chapter 434 Chapter 434: Chinese Movie Night

The successive hits of the novel "Room" and the movie "Youth" have made the global cultural and entertainment circles extremely noisy with the rhythm of mountains and rivers. September will undoubtedly be the time of mountains and rivers.

The global public is watching this young man who frequently breaks the rules, as many media reported:

We are lucky to live in the same era with such a genius, because we can all witness a legendary life with our own eyes!

Shanhe did not change his schedule because of these, and still took the crew of "Young Yi" to participate in the "Chinese Movie Night" specially organized by the Venice Film Festival for Chinese films.

Because of the situation, a surprisingly large number of Chinese-language films came to Venice to participate in the festival. Chinese-language films from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and even Southeast Asia have all signed up to participate in the Venice Film Festival.

A surprisingly large number of celebrities from the Chinese entertainment industry came to attend this "Chinese Movie Night" in Venice, almost as much as the domestic "Three Gold" award ceremonies.

Zhang Yimou participated in the Venice Film Festival with the completed "Return" and "Shadow" which is still in post-production;

Wong Kar-wai, Tony Leung and Zhang Ziyi also came with "The Grandmaster";

Chen Kaige and his wife and the movie "Search" were not absent either.

Also present were the "King" Jay Chou and his "Rooftop Love" crew, and Lin Chaoxian also came with the newly completed "Guild Fight".

Shanhe even saw sisters Li Bingbing and Deng Wendi, as well as Yang Mi and Guo Xiaosi at the scene!

Unknowingly, the shocking "Tiny Times" came, why didn't I slap it away with my own intrusion?

As soon as Shanhe showed up at the cocktail party, he immediately became the center of attention, and people from all walks of life came up to say hello and introduce him to him.

The mountains and rivers are naturally smiling to each other,

"Dr. Qiu, you are familiar with Director Wang and Tony Leung, so you don't need my introduction!"

"Of course, Director Wang and Mr. Liang are both seniors I admire. I'm glad to meet you!"

"Wherever, in terms of achievements, Director Qiu has already surpassed us by a thousand miles!"

"Shanhe, this is Wendi Deng, the boss of Murdoch News Corporation!"

"Hello, Shanhe, I am Wendi Deng. I have long wanted to meet you, the light of the Chinese people. You are more charming in person than what you say in the photos and news!"

"Thank you for the compliment, nice to meet you!"

"Director, this is Guo Siwei, also a writer and director!"

"Hello, Shanhe, I am Guo Xiaosi, you have always been my idol and role model, I am very excited to meet you!"

"haha, really?"

After Shan He had dealt with all the monsters in the Chinese film industry, he got together with Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai and started chatting.

"Brother, Senior Brother Chen, you are also coming to Venice to join in the fun. The movie has been filmed, why are you only participating in the exhibition and not competing?"

“I can’t compete anymore!”

Lao Mouzi grinned, and the ravines on his face became deeper and deeper as he grew older.

"I don't have the energy or the inclination. I just want to make a movie according to my own ideas. These two films are not suitable for competition. They probably won't even be shortlisted for the main competition!"

"Lao Mouzi is right. We are old, and our innovation ability and passion are far behind those of you young people. We can only make the movies we want to make. It is up to you young people to win awards!"

"What do you call old when you are over sixty!"

Shanhe laughed and teased the two of them,

"I see that you are in very good condition. You have more energy than young people. Your two children are not much older than my son!"

"Ha ha…"

Brother Chen Kai laughed out loud at Shan He's words.

"That's right!"

"How many years have you been using this excuse against me? You're already thirty, and you're still so poor!"

Zhang Yimou laughed and scolded Shanhe and dropped the topic.

"How about it? Are you sure that "Young Boys" will win the Golden Lion again this time?"

"How could I know this? If you can take it, take it. If you can't, I won't be disappointed!"

"A grand slam at the three major European film festivals!"

Brother Chen Kai looked at Shanhe who looked indifferent, shook his head and sighed,

"This kind of honor is beyond our reach. If you have this opportunity, you have to get this reputation back for Huaxia Film and its filmmakers. How about we ask Jiang Wen for you later?"

"This is inappropriate!"

Zhang Yimou looked at Jiang Wen in the distance, shook his head and said,

"Jiang Wen is now a judge. It's best for us not to have contact with him. There is no need to add superfluous words to others at this time!"

"Right!"

Brother Chen Kai nodded and responded,

"But in my opinion, "The Young Man" is a sure shot at winning the award. The film is extremely freehand and has the flavor of traditional Chinese painting. Shanhe, your talent and progress are enviable!"

"Then I'll borrow my senior brother's good words!"

Shanhe handed the two of them a glass of champagne.

“There are so many people from China who come to Venice, it’s a bit beyond my expectation!”

Zhang Yimou took the wine glass from Shanhe's hand and replied with a smile:

"Now the domestic film industry is in full swing thanks to you and Chuhe Film and Television. There are dozens of Chinese-language films participating in Venice alone. This was unimaginable before!"

"The number is indeed large!"

Brother Chen Kai smiled disdainfully, picked up the glass and took a sip of champagne.

"How many good films are there? What kind of stuff are they? When you see how profitable the film market is, everyone wants to take advantage of it. Look, anyone can be a director now. Is it so easy to be a director? Without professional training or certain cultural literacy, they are all just bastards who just want to get away with it! They are simply ruining the reputation of Chinese-language movies!”

Brother Chen Kai almost got a name for himself, he was obviously criticizing Jay Chou and Guo Xiaosi who were present!

Shanhe smiled, shook his head and did not answer. Zhang Yimou, who never liked to express his opinions on right and wrong, unexpectedly agreed with Brother Chen Kai's point of view.

"Some films are indeed so unpalatable that they are not considered movies at all. They have no structure or texture of a movie at all, and they cannot even be considered a qualified advertising film!"

Come on, this is already naming names. Except for "Tiny Times", no other film can get this kind of evaluation from Lao Mouzi!

Shanhe glanced at the sissy Guo Xiaosi not far away who thought he was a literary and artistic person. I, Shanhe, cannot afford to be your idol and role model. What I plagiarized is the future, but you plagiarized the past!

Shan He was gossiping with Zhang Yi and Chen Kai about the chaos and disorder in the domestic film industry, and Shan He was also the target of other people's gossip. At this time, he was undoubtedly the most talkative person in the room.

Guo Xiaosi did not exaggerate or lie. Shanhe was indeed his idol and role model. He looked at the dazzling mountains and rivers in front of him, the envy and yearning in his eyes were obvious, and he couldn't help but ask Yang Mi beside him.

"Yang Mi, is Shanhe easy to get along with? What are his hobbies and habits?"

Yang Mi heard this and looked at the mountains and rivers not far away, with melancholy in his eyes and a trace of unnaturalness in his expression, and replied in a low voice:

"The director is very kind and dedicated to his work. When I went to audition for "Bottom Hot Girl", I didn't have any preparation in advance. I just went there wearing a school uniform. He chose me with his own eyes. During the filming process, he didn't scold me. I was always there. He encouraged me and hoped that I would become a good actor and pursue a higher realm, but I let him down!"

Yang Mi's answer made Guo Xiaosi feel disgusted. Aren't you clearly belittling me by saying this? Has the price of starring in "Tiny Times" dropped so much?

"You can't say that! You are now a first-line star in China, and your appeal is no worse than other actresses. "Tiny Times" and "Bottom Hot Girl" are also similar in that they are both about youth."

Yang Mi raised her head and glanced at the self-righteous Guo Xiaosi.

Guo Xiaozi, you are so damn narcissistic. How was the filming of "Tiny Times"? As a director, don't you have any idea? If it weren't for the salary and traffic, I would accept a trash movie like yours and still have the nerve to win "Little Times". "Bottom Hot Girl" for comparison, it's really shameless!

You can say whatever you want, "Bottom Hot Girl" is my pride, I can't let you ruin it!

Yang Mi asked Guo Xiaosi calmly:

"Director Guo, do you think you can become the next Shanhe?"

"this…"

Coincidentally, in another corner of the reception, Li Bingbing and Deng Wendi were also talking about Shan He, the central figure.

"Bingbing, you and Shanhe have known each other for many years, why haven't you thought about hooking up with him?"

"Take a ride on mountains and rivers?"

Li Bingbing raised his head and looked at Wendi Deng, who had a gossipy face, and couldn't help but smile. Do you think everyone is like that old man Murdoch?

"I'm almost one step older than Shanhe. He became famous all over the country when he was a teenager. How could I possibly catch up with him!"

"Why not? Men have all their preferences. Young grass is as fresh as young grass, and a mature woman has the taste of a mature woman. If I were you, I would rely on him regardless of anything. Body and appearance are our women's weapons. Women have to Treat relationships and marriage as a career!”

"Sister Wendi, you are right, but Shanhe is really different from others. Do you think these little flowers in China have never thought about it? But in the end, no one dared to take action. How can I say, He has a very upright mind, outstanding talent and influence, and there is always something inexplicable in his eyes, which seems to be able to see through your heart. It really makes people dare not be careful. If you are not careful, you will face... Totally blocked!”

"Comprehensive ban? Is it such an exaggeration?"

"Of course, Shan He is more than just a writer and director in China. He represents many things and is spread throughout the country. He is the eye of luck for China. The more successful he is, the smoother China will be!"

"Ah... it makes sense to say that. Shanhe is indeed in the limelight every step of the way!"

"is not that right!"

Wong Kar-wai, who was wearing sunglasses, was also very curious about Shan He. He looked at Shan He, who was chatting and laughing with Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai, and asked Zhang Ziyi beside him:

"The mainland film industry can actually produce such a character. Ziyi, you have had a lot of contact with Shanhe. What kind of person is he usually? How true is what is said in the media?"

"Well~ I have known him for a long time, ten years in total, but we haven't had much contact with him. How can I put it? In my opinion, he is a relatively pure Chinese literati who doesn't have many demands on others. He speaks softly, but is very strict with himself. He has achieved success at a young age but can maintain his self-esteem. Since he became famous for more than ten years, there has been almost nothing out of the ordinary. The only scandal was with his current wife Hathaway. His words and deeds are consistent, and he is a model. Such a person, you can’t help but admire him!”

"You met him so early, why didn't you cooperate later?"

"Haha... This kind of unparalleled genius has nothing to do with the turmoil in the entertainment industry. As soon as he entered the film school, he was the treasure in everyone's hands. The whole China had high expectations for him, including the entire Beijing Film Academy and China Film Academy. His backing is never short of money and connections. No one else can interfere with his projects. Even Disney has to hold him in the palm of his hand. Then he goes all the way up, so fast that it is unbelievable, let alone in his hands. There is also a behemoth Chuhe Film and Television. If you want to cooperate with him, you can only rely on luck, and other methods will be in vain! "

"This is indeed a legend who breaks the rules!"

A "Chinese Movie Night" cocktail party was filled with all kinds of gossip and social negotiations. Although it was just a formality for Shanhe, it was a good opportunity for the investors who were participating in the exhibition and selling films.

The Venice Film Festival Organizing Committee gave Shanhe a lot of face and made very thoughtful arrangements. It invited the top figures from major European film distribution companies, as well as some well-known North American film producers and distributors from all over the world.

The effect of the reception was quite good. Chinese film investors not only expanded their contacts, but also reached cooperation intentions on some occasions.

The most popular ones are naturally the works of famous directors such as Zhang Yi, Wong Kar-Wai and Chen Kaige. Other films have also gained a lot in Venice, such as Jay Chou's "Rooftop Love". Putting aside the quality of the film, his personal appeal is It has attracted the favor of many publishing companies.

Even "Tiny Times" sold Southeast Asian and Neon copyrights because of its starring role, Yang Mi. "Bottom Hot Girl" has outstanding influence in Asian countries. As the most outstanding heroine in the movie, Yang Mi is well-known in Asian countries. Lou Xiaoyun This role is expected to benefit her for life.

When Shanhe walked out of the reception, the reporters’ questions gave him a reminder!

"Qiu, it is said that the prototype case of "The Room" is the Austrian Fletschler kidnapping case. Is this rumor true?"

"Qiu, what do you think about the Fletschler case? Do you think the devil Joseph should receive the death penalty?"

"Qiu, according to your writing habits, have you already had contact with the Fletschler family? How is their situation now?"

The huge sales and public opinion wave of "Room" inevitably exposed the prototype of the novel to the global public.

Although Shanhe repeatedly asked Scholar Publishing House to avoid the "Fretzler Case" when promoting the release, a week after the novel was put on the shelves, the "Fretzler Case" was dug up by the media, and with the hot sales of "Room" It has become a hot topic on the Internet and news!

As soon as Shan He returned to the hotel, he called Officer Greg.

"Hello, Greg, I'm Qiu!"

"Hello Qiu, I knew you would call me. Are you worried about the Fletschler family?"

"Yes, I have tried my best to avoid this situation from happening, but the matter came to light faster than I thought. How about Rooney and Fletschler and his daughter, are they not affected at all?"

"Don't worry, they are all fine. The Fletschlers and their daughters used the money you gave them to buy a small farm near your vacation villa. We also changed their names and identity documents in advance so no one knows. They are the original Fletschler family. Now they are in much better condition than before. Not only do they raise cattle and sheep in the farm, but they also make their own jam and sell it. Rooney is becoming more and more cheerful. I just miss you so much. He always talks about you and Bernier, he has collected all the photos and videos of Bernier online!”

"Really, this is great. Thank you for your attentiveness. Tell Rooney that our family will go to Amstetten for vacation after we have finished these two months!"

"No need to say thank you. Taking good care of them is the responsibility of the entire Amstetten. Your arrival has given them an opportunity to get better. We should all thank you, Anne, and the lovely Bernier!"

"Haha...Okay then! When I go to Amstetten, you can treat me to a drink!"

"Of course, no problem. I won't drink your Chinese liquor, it's too spicy!"

"Ha ha…"
