Chapter 401 Venice International Film Festival Opens

The matter of "Better Days" was temporarily settled between Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei.

However, this was just verbal talk.

The specific shooting time, schedule arrangement, and actor plan have not been settled yet.

Although Wu Yuan only needs to work on the post-production of "Interstellar", he will definitely not be free this year.

He is too busy in the second half of the year.

After attending the Venice Film Festival and Paris Fashion Week, Wu Yuan will go to the United States to see the post-production of "Interstellar" and do a month of post-production, and then return to China on October 17 to participate in the Golden Rooster Awards.

After participating in the Golden Rooster Awards, he will continue to return to the United States to carry out the post-production of "Interstellar" and strive to complete it before the end of the year.

As for next year, that is, 2010, Wu Yuan originally planned to rest for at least half a year.

After working non-stop for two years and shooting three movies, Wu Yuan has felt a little tired and needs some time to rest and recharge.

Perhaps in the second half of 2010, he can plan to start filming "Better Days", and continue to maintain his speed of filming a Chinese-language film every two years.

Wu Yuan put his arm around Liu Yifei's shoulders, and the two leaned against the head of the bed.

"I'll write the script in a while, and you can think about it more and try to experience it in life to see if you can find the feeling of filming.

"For now, let's finish the work at hand."

"Go to sleep, and take a walk on Lido Island tomorrow. I haven't really visited this beautiful island yet. ”

The next day, Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei separated from the Huaxia Legion and started their Venice vacation trip alone.

They didn't go too far. They just played around the Lido Island where the Venice International Film Festival was held, and felt the Mediterranean style of Venice.

In the past few years, Wu Yuan was busy with work and didn't stop to appreciate the beauty of the world.

This year, he took a lot of time, and accompanied Liu Yifei to Canada, Venice, and Paris.

It's true that sometimes proper relaxation can relieve a lot of negative emotions.

However, happy times are always short.

After two days of playing, the Venice Film Festival also ushered in the opening ceremony.

Although Wu Yuan did not participate in any works this year, as an officially invited award presenter, he also had to walk the red carpet.

Originally, he wanted to take Liu Yifei with him and let her be his female companion Attend together.

Although Venice is not like Cannes, domestic actresses can't wait to walk the red carpet in Cannes even if they don't have any works, so as to get a chance to be highly exposed.

The so-called carpet star trend comes from Fan Xiaopang and others who have no works but still insist on walking on the red carpet in Cannes.

But as one of the three major European festivals, Venice is obviously also a popular destination for mainland actresses. If there is a chance, they must walk on the red carpet.

However, Liu Yifei is not an ordinary person. She doesn't want to be a carpet star. Without works, she will never attend any film festival or award ceremony.

Wu Yuan naturally appreciated her idea, and didn't force it. He stepped onto the red carpet alone.

For the European reporters at the scene, Wu Yuan is also an old acquaintance. The flash lights kept flashing along the way, leaving a long string of red carpet photos. Five minutes later, these photos spread all over Europe.

[Daniel, the great Chinese director Wu attended the Venice International Film Festival! 】

【Daniel was invited to be the award presenter of the Venice International Film Festival and attended the opening ceremony in full dress! 】

【The stars are shining, the international director Daniel Wu appeared on the red carpet in Venice! 】

Because the three major European film festivals and Hollywood were a bit stalemate this year, and no Hollywood-produced film was shortlisted for the main competition unit this year, almost no big Hollywood stars and directors attended this year's Venice International Film Festival.

Wu Yuan, the winner of the Venice Golden Lion and a Hollywood commercial film director, is already the most influential and famous guest attending the Venice Film Festival this year.

For him, even if his work was not shortlisted for this year's Venice, he came to this film festival not to rub the red carpet, but to build momentum for this year's Venice International Film Festival, adding influence, and being half a ballast stone.

This is the power of a top director.

Even an international top film festival like Venice needs a top director like Wu Yuan to set off.

Of course, without the Golden Lion Award awarded by Venice, Wu Yuan would not have become a real top director. It can only be said that they achieved each other.

So Wu Yuan gave the Venice Film Festival a lot of face. Not only did he stay on the red carpet for enough time for the media on site to take pictures, but he also praised the films shortlisted for this year's Venice Film Festival.

"I'm glad to see so many excellent films shortlisted for the main competition this year."

"I believe that Venice will get better and better every year, and more excellent filmmakers will be seen by global audiences through this platform."

"Of course, I also hope that more excellent Chinese-language films will be noticed by Venice and compete with top filmmakers from all over the world."

"I can't wait to present the award to the best actor!"

He will be the chairman of the Venice jury next year, so he must say more good things about Venice!

Taking this opportunity, some media on the scene also enthusiastically interviewed Wu Yuan.

"Daniel, do you have any plans for your new art film?"

"Daniel, you have only shot foreign language commercial films. Have you ever thought about shooting a foreign language art film?"

"It's a very interesting question." Wu Yuan smiled and pointed at the reporter who asked the question, and responded generously: "There will be opportunities in the future."

"Foreign language films and Chinese language films, in my opinion, there is no difference. I have never shot a foreign language art film before, but I just haven't had the right opportunity."

"There will definitely be opportunities to shoot in the future."

"As for my new film plan, you know, a good art film needs inspiration, but unfortunately I don't have any inspiration now, so I may focus on the commercial film market in the next two years."

"My new film "Interstellar" has been completed and entered the intensive post-production stage. It is expected to be released in the first half of next year."

"This is a film that combines business and art. It will be released globally on a large scale at that time. I hope everyone can help me promote it."

Seizing this opportunity, Wu Yuan did not forget to promote his new film in Venice, an occasion that attracts the attention of the global film media.

Although there are conflicts between the European and North American film circles, this only involves the upper class. Ordinary audiences in the middle and lower classes still watch whatever they can. Hollywood has conquered the European film market for a long time.

The reporters at the scene were also very respectful. They nodded and said that they would pay attention to Wu Yuan's new movie and write promotional articles for him.

"Thank you everyone!" Wu Yuan smiled brightly and waved to the reporters on both sides of the red carpet: "I won't delay the red carpet time. The next guest should be here soon."

"See you at the closing ceremony!"
