Chapter 558 Big Thunder? Sagging? No! Has the Industry Been Involuted to This Extent?

The next morning, the 69th Venice International Film Festival officially ushered in the opening ceremony.

No matter which film festival it is, the red carpet is always the best place for female stars to compete for their beauty!

Many actresses even stood on the red carpet for a long time without leaving, so that security personnel on both sides had to step forward from time to time to chase them away.

The reason why this scene happened is definitely related to the red carpet ticket sales!

You know, the red carpet of this Venice International Film Festival is open to the public, and the price is 20,000 euros.

In other words, as long as you are willing to spend 20,000 euros, you can walk in style on the red carpet of the Venice Film Festival.

Most of the media have little interest in those female celebrities who come here with their own money, so they usually contact photographers in advance to take photos for them.

After the photo is taken, send it directly back to the country where you are located. It will be a wonderful sight!

"Dallas Buyers Club" started a little later. Chen Fei, Matthew McConaughey, Jack Nicholson and others stood in the waiting area, watching the ongoing red carpet session.

The 46-year-old Koizumi Kyoko wore a black dress and walked gracefully, showing her elegance.

"I like this genre."

Old Jack's words attracted the attention of everyone around him.

Chen Fei was quite surprised: "Jack? Aren't you the same as Leon, you are only interested in young girls? Why have you suddenly changed your taste?"

"Who said I only like young ones? I've never been picky and I'm very happy to try different flavors."

While talking, Old Jack also commented on Koizumi Kyoko's outfit: "I like her dress today very much. It makes me have an inexplicable urge to break the taboo..."

After hearing these words, Chen Fei seemed to realize something and said in surprise: "Shift! Jack? Do you like the Widow series?"

"The Widow series? What is this?" Jack Nicholson looked curious.

"I can't explain the details to you in detail. I will ask Bruce to contact you later. He is very skilled in the film and television business in Neon Country. Since you like the style of 'The Widow', while the little brother is still here, It’s not abolished, let’s keep a few more classic works.”

"Really? Then I'd like to find out..."

The two were chatting when Matt Damon suddenly said angrily: "I like Yu Aoi's style, youthful and beautiful, like a graceful landscape."

Everyone's eyes subconsciously turned to the red carpet.

Yu Aoi, who just turned 27 this year, was wearing a white dress, which formed a strong contrast with Kyoko Koizumi next to her.

One black and one white, mature + youthful...it has a unique flavor.

"Matt, if you also want to go to Neon to shoot a movie, I can ask Bruce to introduce you to the suitable crew and heroine, as well as the shooting location."

"Actress" is just a position in Neon Country. There are many people working in it and their styles are different, which can definitely satisfy the taste of foreign tourists.

"Oh, forget it." Matt Damon sighed and said with some regret: "I am already married and have three lovely daughters. What I want to do now is return to my family."

"Matt, you're a good man!"

Chen Fei gave him a thumbs up.

In such a prosperous and prosperous environment as Hollywood, it is indeed rare for someone to be able to say something like returning to the family.

Even Chen Fei doesn't dare to say that he is willing to find a girlfriend to settle down now.

After all...life without restraints is the most enjoyable!

…

The box office failure of "Tai Chi 1: From Scratch" put Huayi under tremendous pressure, so at this Venice Film Festival, the film finally appeared as a screening film.

Wang Zhonglei's purpose is very simple, which is to sell the film copyright at a high price and reduce losses.

On the red carpet, Yang Ying's dress also showed her youthfulness and beauty, with most of her white and tender skin exposed on her upper body, which was really eye-catching.

She rarely has the opportunity to participate in such international film festival awards. Now that she finally has the opportunity, she naturally wants to stir up a wave of popularity.

Makeup, dress, outfit... She is covered in all kinds of little details that deserve the attention of the media and fans, and she seems to want to stun everyone.

Unfortunately, following her on the red carpet was Sophie Marceau.

"Red carpet exposure" is the repertoire of this popular European actress, so whenever she appears on the red carpet of a film festival, the media's cameras will inevitably focus on her.

Just like now.

When Sophie Marceau stepped onto the red carpet right behind the crew of "Tai Chi 1: From Zero", the cameras that were originally focused on Yang Ying were all shifted to her at this moment.

Even Chen Fei, Jack Nicholson and others who were waiting at the scene stopped talking at this time, and their eyes followed the swaying figure invariably.

Suddenly, there were earth-shattering exclamations on the red carpet, and the waves of cheers got louder and louder!

The reason why such a scene occurred is because under the attention of everyone, the suspender on one side of Sophie Marceau's dress suddenly slipped off her shoulders, and then revealed the huge scale that is often shown generously in movies!

Faced with the exclamations of everyone around her, Sophie Marceau was also surprised.

However, she covered her mouth first, and only after a moment did she slowly pull up the straps of her dress.

At this moment, the red carpet flashed with extremely brilliant light on both sides, and the dazzling flash seemed to completely suppress the light of the sun in the sky!

It goes without saying that Sophie Marceau will definitely occupy the most prominent position in the entertainment media around the world this time.

At the same time, Yang Ying, who had already walked two-thirds of the red carpet, turned her head and looked at the scene in front of her with astonishment.

She never thought that in order to attract attention, foreign female stars would actually make such a "earth-shattering" move!

"Wouldn't she be worried about public opinion..."

As soon as the doubts in her heart came up, Yang Ying suddenly fell silent again.

As a female star, the focus of public opinion is not always bad at some times, but it is the best way to become famous and attract popularity.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

How can I also become the center of attention of the focus of public opinion, so as to take the opportunity to become popular?

...

Outside the venue, Chen Fei has already started a discussion with others.

"Wow, this old lady is really trying hard!"

"Oh my god, why is the big thunder a little saggy?"

"To attract attention, she does this almost every time."

"Has the industry been involuted to this extent? Are female stars really willing to do anything for attention?"

"No, why are they all taking off their tops? Aren't there any actresses who accidentally stepped on their skirts and appeared without a bra?"

"Haha, Jack, your idea is very good. After entering the venue, I suggest you go to Sophie Marceau and apply for her publicity manager..."

However, at this time, just as the crew of "Dallas Buyers Club" was discussing, there was a sudden noise and footsteps behind him.

Chen Fei turned his head subconsciously and saw Harvey, who was leading many media reporters, walking towards him.

He did not react at all, but just watched the fat man approaching silently, secretly guessing in his heart, what kind of tricks is this guy going to do?

"Hi, Fei, I'm glad to meet you here." Harvey took the initiative to greet him when he came closer.

Chen Fei raised his lips slightly, stretched out his hand and shook it gently with him. Both of them had bright smiles on their faces, as if they were good friends who could talk about anything.

"Harvey, I'm also glad to see you here. We should hold a friendly boxing match for this meeting. Do you want to participate?"

Upon hearing this, Harvey's face froze, and he let go of his hand without a sound, and slowly stepped back two steps.

It was not until the bodyguards following behind him came to his left and right sides that he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said in a seemingly flattering manner:

"Fei, I heard that you are determined to win the Golden Lion Award this year? I watched the trailer of "Dallas Buyers Club" before, and it was really good. I wish you the award in advance."

When he said this, he deliberately raised his voice, so that other crew members who participated in the award competition around him frequently looked at him.

Chen Fei noticed that many reporters took photos of the conversation between the two, and some even took out a recorder to record all of Harvey's words.

His mind turned, and he understood instantly.

"Huh? Are you trying to flatter me?"

Before Harvey could react, Chen Fei turned the tables on him: "I actually won a Golden Lion before, and this time I came here mainly to promote my new movie and prepare for the Oscars.

As for the award selection, I don't really care, after all, I already have it.

And more importantly, when it comes to rushing for awards, Harvey, you are the most professional one. I believe that "The Master" will surely be a huge success under your leadership!"

As soon as these words appeared, the eyes of the people around him turned to Harvey at the same time.

Chen Fei obviously noticed that several producers looked very unkind, and seemed to have some deep resentment and dissatisfaction with Harvey.

Seeing that his flattery was easily resolved, although Harvey felt a little regretful in his heart, his expression did not change at all.

"If you have time, remember to attend the premiere of The Master."

After the courtesy, he quickly moved away from Chen Fei and joined Paul Thomas Anderson and others not far away.

Seeing Chen Fei walking towards the red carpet under the guidance of the Venice Film Festival staff, Harvey looked back at his assistant: "Did Michael Mann send a message this morning?"

The assistant shook his head slightly: "No."

He did not feel nervous or confused about this, but raised his head confidently: "Judging from Michael Mann's behavior last night, he must have been moved by the conditions I proposed.

The reason why there was no response is probably to avoid suspicion.

In this way, you help me prepare the invitation letter, and I will personally invite him to the premiere of The Master, and by the way, add some chips to Taiping."

Paul Thomas Anderson stood by and said nothing.

In terms of rushing for awards, he felt that Harvey could completely control everything. As a film director, he only needed to cheer and shout, and there was no need to speak out to make suggestions.

And this happened to be Harvey's idea.

He likes the feeling of being in control of everything.

At the same time, he is also very confident that he can definitely win the grand prize this time!

Having dealt with the jury chairman Michael Mann and reached an agreement with Laetitia Casta and Chen Kexin, the Golden Lion Award at this Venice Film Festival is sure to be within reach!

…

When the crew members of "Dallas Buyers Club" walked on the red carpet, as expected, they once again gained a wave of popularity and attention.

European three gold grand slams, Oscar winners, Venice Silver Lion winners...

This lineup can be called the most luxurious team at this Venice Film Festival!

After a series of links such as taking photos, interviews, and signing, Chen Fei led everyone into the main venue of the opening ceremony.

"I'll make a phone call first."

He greeted a few people, then found a relatively secluded corner of the venue and called Hattie Politov.

"I have a new idea." He said bluntly: "Harvey deliberately complimented me in front of many crews that entered the main competition unit today, hoping that other crews would be more vigilant against me, and even target and attack me."

At the other end of the phone, Hattie's face suddenly changed!

Praise to death!

Absolutely praise to death!

However, just as she was about to say something, Chen Fei's voice sounded again: "I think we can use this method to deal with Harvey in return."

As a professional public relations manager, Hattie quickly understood what he meant and had a new idea.

"We can praise "The Master" produced by Weinstein Films, and then deliberately belittle the other films shortlisted for the main competition unit..."

"That's a good idea!"

After chatting for a few more minutes, the two roughly perfected the subsequent plan.

How to do it specifically is Hattie's business. As an employer, Chen Fei only needs to pay and make constructive suggestions.

The opening film is the work of Indian director Mira Nair: "Strangers in Lahore Tea House".

The film itself was not shortlisted for the main competition unit, and the "dance" occupies a very large part of Indian films, so the audience's enthusiasm is not high.

When it came to the banquet time after the premiere, the dull atmosphere was finally heated up!

Chen Fei greeted all the jury members except Chen Kexin, as well as the jury chairman Michael Mann, and exchanged contact information.

His public relations played a big role.

When Michael Mann looked at him, his eyes seemed to shine with hope!

Chen Fei took the opportunity to hug him and whispered in his ear: "Michael, believe me, you will definitely have a beautiful fate with Oscar."

"Fei, I'm borrowing your good words." Michael Mann was very happy and also made his own promise: "Dallas Buyers Club is a great film, it definitely deserves all the awards!"

All the films participating in the main competition unit have already completed production, and the film itself can no longer continue to do more articles, so the competition for awards naturally shifted from the film itself to other aspects.

Just like now, in addition to Chen Fei, other producers and directors are also contacting jury members, hoping to get a heavyweight award.

Chen Fei saw Harvey who was talking happily with Chen Kexin, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Defeating the opponent from his best and proudest point will definitely cause him to break down!

Just thinking about it, Chen Fei can no longer contain his excitement.

He is now looking forward to the day when the closing ceremony of the Venice Film Festival arrives!
