Chapter 560 Naked Seduction! Bullet Hits the Opponent! Tangren Loses a Lot? Harvey: "On the Conditions for Winning the Award"
"Director Chen, I'm really lucky. I didn't expect that I actually received your movie invitation."
At the screening of "Dallas Buyers Club", Yang Ying approached Chen Fei enthusiastically, showing a look like a little fan girl seeing her idol.
After being invited to take a photo with her, Chen Fei smiled lightly and said: "I sent invitation letters to all the Chinese who came to the Venice Film Festival."
Yang Ying's face froze, and she clearly felt the distance between the two.
Facing her overtures, Chen Fei was indifferent and had no intention of having an in-depth communication with her.
"Haha, so that's it."
Yang Ying smiled awkwardly, but still refused to give up: "Director Chen, people on the Internet always say that my acting skills are too poor, which makes me very distressed.
It just so happened that we were both in Venice this time and stayed in the same hotel.
Do you have time in the evening? If it's convenient, can I go to your room and ask you some questions about acting? "
This is a bit naked!
Chen Fei silently felt sad for Xiao Ming in his heart, then shook his head and refused: "I'm really sorry, it's not convenient. Let's talk about it next time when we have a chance."
After that, he turned around and left without any nostalgia.
Watching Chen Fei walking towards Liu Yifei, a trace of unwillingness flashed across Yang Ying's face!
Now the mainland media calls her "Little Fan Bingbing". She is very dissatisfied with this nickname, but there is nothing she can do about it.
After all, Fan Bingbing is indeed the best among domestic entertainment actresses when it comes to foreign red carpet shows!
But what makes her even more dissatisfied is that when reporting, the media directly compared Liu Yifei with foreign actresses, saying that she has good temperament, high status, and good acting skills.
Looking back at Yang Ying, her appearance seems to be to set off Liu Yifei's nobility!
This was also the reason why she came to "communicate" with Chen Fei. After all, she thought she was pretty good at robbing men.
She snatched Huang Xiaoming from Li Fei'er, so she felt that as long as she used some tricks, she would definitely be able to snatch Chen Fei away from Liu Yifei!
But looking at it now, her idea was obviously in vain.
"It seems we can only find another opportunity..."
She murmured, secretly thinking about what to do next.
After finally encountering a thigh that is thicker than Huang Xiaoming, she will not give up so easily!
…
"Director Lou, long time no see."
"Haha, Director Chen, congratulations, I wish you a great prize..."
At the entrance of the screening room, Chen Fei shook hands with Lou Ye, who was invited.
After a few brief greetings, he called the staff and arranged for Lou Ye to sit in the front row.
Watching Lou Ye walk towards the front row, he couldn't help but shook his head helplessly, and he had a deep understanding of this man's slutty moves at the film festival.
This time Lou Ye directly served as a very typical negative teaching material for domestic directors.
He used his own actions to prove that after talking nonsense abroad, he will definitely be severely "educated" at home!
At this Venice International Film Festival, Lou Ye came to the scene with his new movie "The Mystery of the Floating City".
Although his film was not shortlisted for the main competition, it was successfully shortlisted for the "Un Certain Regard Module" and was the opening film.
The most other directors can do is make films that reflect the suffering of the lower class people in the country and the dark side of society, and then take them to exhibitions and sell the copyrights.
But he's good. When he has nothing to do, he goes out to criticize the film bureau and criticize the domestic censorship system. He just openly says that he is being suppressed by the domestic film and television industry.
The final result is that although he himself is currently exhibiting his film in Venice, investors in China have received a notice from the bureau, making it clear that "The Mystery of the Floating City" needs to be reviewed again.
You know, this movie successfully received the Dragon Award and will be released on the 19th of next month.
This is the first time in domestic film history that a film will be reviewed after successfully receiving the Dragon Film Award.
Lou Ye can be regarded as setting a record!
…
As the film's official screening time approached, Liu Yifei leaned close to Chen Fei's ear and whispered: "Chen Kexin is not here."
"I know, just ignore him."
Chen Fei didn't care, he was just Chen Kexin and could not affect the overall situation.
You know, at today's screening, except for the grandson, the other eight jury members arrived at the scene.
Two public relations teams have successfully defeated seven judges, including Michael Mann, the chairman of the jury. Under such circumstances, Chen Kexin's opinions have no influence on the overall situation.
Amid the warm applause of the audience, Chen Fei and the crew came to sit in the front row.
Michael Mann happened to be sitting on the seat to his left. After he sat down, he whispered: "This film is very good. It is a high-quality stock competing for Oscars."
Chen Fei understood: "Michael, thank you for your compliment. I believe the same is true for "Nowhere"."
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
As the movie started, the theater quickly became quiet.
The film tells the story of an AIDS patient's road to redemption!
He was walking on the edge of life, but he did not give up on life.
He is a low-class citizen who is obscene, swears a lot, and is full of all kinds of poisons, but he has the courage to seize fate by the throat and encourage his patients to fight against unjust bills.
This is the protagonist of the film, Ron Woodruff, a character with great contradictions and conflicts.
The scene of him riding on the back of a bull at the end of the film implicitly expresses the protagonist's spirit of fighting against the system, himself, and fate, and never compromising.
It is this spirit that eventually forced the drug dealer to admit the side effects of the drug and improve the formula!
The subject matter with great practical significance, coupled with Matthew's impressive performance, makes the whole film more tense and more in line with the judges' favorites.
As Michael Mann said, this is a film that is very suitable for the Oscars.
At the end of the film, the subtitles appeared and the audience burst into warm applause!
Compared with ordinary premieres, the applause at film festivals is usually warmer and longer-lasting, not to mention that this is a high-quality work!
You know, even some films that barely pass the test often get applause that lasts for more than five minutes.
So, when a film uses the applause of the audience at the film festival that lasts for seven or eight minutes to promote and hype, remember not to take it too seriously.
Michael Mann stood up and shook hands with Chen Fei: "Fei, please forgive me for leaving one step ahead, because there is a very important meeting tonight."
"Take it easy."
Chen Fei stood in place and watched Michael Mann and other judges leave quickly.
The bullet has been flying for several days, and it's time to hit the opponent!
...
After leaving the screening room, Chen Fei returned to the hotel and began to check the relevant reports on the Internet.
Unlike the first few days, after Hattie Politov stopped, the negative reviews about "The Master" on the Internet poured out like a gushing spring!
This may be the first work in the history of the Venice Film Festival that has been unanimously attacked by other crews in the main competition unit!
Harvey really offended the public.
This can also be regarded as a side confirmation that if the method of "praising to death" is used well, it will definitely produce a good effect!
After flipping through the newspaper, Chen Fei threw it aside, turned on the computer, and browsed Weibo.
Lu Chuan is a really good runner. He took "The Banquet" to Toronto and held a world premiere ceremony!
He sent more than a dozen press releases a day, as if a Chinese blockbuster shocked the world. He even pretended to be so arrogant abroad.
However, the comment section was full of ridicule.
"Damn it, this grandson, it seems that there is no room for him in China!"
"Don't pretend to be so arrogant, you have embarrassed yourself abroad."
"The premiere received 15 minutes of applause? What the hell? Is "The Banquet" so awesome?"
"It's almost the Lunar New Year holiday, Lu Tailang, you'd better be prepared, don't get slapped in the face!"
"Hahaha, I can't help laughing when I think about it now. "The Banquet" is compared with "Ghost Blowing Light", how badly will he be tortured?"
In addition to the news about "The Banquet", Chen Fei also saw the notice that "Tai Chi 1: From Zero" will be withdrawn from the schedule.
After 22 days of release, the total box office is 205 million, and the daily new box office has fallen below 50,000.
Under such circumstances, continuing to release the film will only add to the jokes.
In fact, this movie could barely continue to hold on before, but with the release of "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Batman", it was followed by imported films such as "Prometheus", "The Expendables 2" and "Looper".
Several Hollywood blockbusters have harvested the mainland film market together, and the daily box office has never been less than 150 million.
Under such circumstances, except for "Your Name" which is still very strong at the box office, the rest of the domestic films have been completely abused!
Even though Wang Zhonglei shouted the slogan of "Kung Fu + Steampunk" at the Venice Film Festival, which attracted a large number of foreign media and film producers, it still could not cover up the collapse of the film in the mainland movie box office market!
…
Since the showdown with the agency, Yang Mi's ambition has been completely suppressed!
Several news about her appeared on the Weibo hot search list.
"It is reported that Yang Mi, an artist and first-line actress of Feiyinghuang Agency, has signed a contract for the film series "Tiny Times" and will play the leading female role."
"The film series is adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name, and is written and directed by the original author Guo Jingming. The investors are Heli Guang, Modou Tianyu, Huanrui Century and other companies."
"According to rumors, in addition to enjoying high film remuneration, Yang Mi also has the qualification to share the box office..."
"At the media meeting, Guo Jingming said that the series plans to shoot four films and has raised all the funds. The core heroine will remain Yang Mi."
"According to relevant sources, Yang Mi will no longer renew her contract with Feiyinghuang Agency after her contract expires this year."
Looking at these news, Chen Fei couldn't help but want to laugh.
The uncontrollable ambition is boiling. Yang Mi is paving the way for herself. It seems that she should take off towards the vast "future" next!
He didn't care about these, but just felt a little emotional.
I don't know how far Yang Mi will fly next?
Unlike Chen Fei's mentality of watching the fun, in the eyes of other mainland actresses, being the heroine of four film series is simply a pie in the sky!
The most important thing is that "Tiny Times" is a movie adapted from a best-selling novel, which means that even though the film has not yet started shooting, it will have a good box office foundation.
And it is self-evident how great a bonus this has for the heroine.
At the same time, Tangren, who was showing off the "Golden Eagle Goddess", was instantly embarrassed!
With "Bu Bu Jing Xin", Liu Shishi successfully became this year's Golden Eagle Goddess, but as soon as their draft was sent out, Yang Mi immediately opened up.
The heroine of the series of four movies has received far more attention than "The Golden Eagle Goddess".
Under such circumstances, Tang people's behavior of flattering the superior and suppressing the inferior will inevitably encounter a strong counterattack from Yang Mi's fans!
"Stop showing off the Golden Eagle Goddess here. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"
"Haha, did you see it? My Mimi won the leading role in four movies. Where is your Liu Shishi? What does she have?"
"The Tang people are really too weak. They can't even get movie resources. Don't embarrass yourself in the future."
"I spent money to buy a golden eagle goddess, haha, the more I look at it, the more I feel like I was taken advantage of."
""Sad Fairy Tale" will be released soon, right? I want to see how bad your acting skills will be?"
Lies won't hurt anyone, the truth is the sharpest knife!
You can call a fat girl a bad gamer, but you can never call her fat!
At this moment, it can be said that everyone in the Tang Ren Company has broken their defenses!
"Shi Shi, you don't need to pay attention to those comments on the Internet. In a few days, we will directly announce the filming plan for the movie "Fuji Detective". Cooperating with Li Lianlian, we will definitely slap them in the face..."
Cai Yinong is very seductive and is afraid that the first lady in her company will be completely ruined.
"Um."
Liu Shishi nodded silently, but he didn't have any hope in his heart.
In "Fuji Detective", she only played a supporting actress. How can she compare with Yang Mi?
Just as he was thinking about it, Cai Yinong suddenly changed the topic: "Shi Shi, about "The Ballad of the Desert" I mentioned to you before..."
As soon as he heard the words "Da Mo Yao", Liu Shishi exploded!
"Mr. Cai! I told you! I will never accompany a group of old men!"
After saying that, she stood up directly and turned around to leave without hesitation.
In the office, Cai Yinong's expression changed, and his eyes gradually became cold.
If all the tens of millions of investments were wasted, Tang Ren's income this year will definitely be wiped out!
Therefore, this thing must succeed!
…
At the same time, under the organization of Michael Mann, all the jury members of this Venice Film Festival arrived one after another and began internal meetings.
"In previous meetings, we have watched all the works shortlisted for the main competition unit, and tonight, we need to determine the winner of each award."
Everyone below nodded, expressing understanding.
Michael Mann continued: "Each of you has a blank piece of paper placed in front of you. Next, I need you to write down the actor, director or film that you think is the most suitable to win the award. The final decision will be based on the number of votes. Award Winner."
Hearing this sentence, Chen Kexin cast a slightly surprised look.
what's the situation?
Has this Venice Film Festival award selection become so fair?
The chairman of the jury actually doesn’t engage in “one-note speech” anymore?
"Every list is anonymous."
After Michael Mann said the last sentence, he picked up the pen on the side and wrote on the white paper the film that he thought was the most suitable to win the award.
The purpose of his operation was simple, to reduce Harvey's hostility towards him as much as possible.
Who can find fault with such a "fair" award selection?
Even if Harvey is dissatisfied, he can bring out the organizers of the film festival.
"What the organizers require is fairness and justice, and what I do happens to be fairness and justice. Your failure to win the award means that your film cannot be recognized by the vast majority of the judges present. What does it have to do with me?"
The selection ended soon. Representatives sent by the film festival organizers collected the names, pulled up a blackboard, and started counting votes.
"Best Screenplay: "The Master", received a total of 7 votes..."
A smile appeared on Chen Kexin's face. He had already made an agreement with Harvey in advance. If he could help "The Master" win this time, he could go to Hollywood to make a movie.
However, as the counting continued, the smile on his face gradually disappeared without a trace, replaced by a pair of widened eyes!
Sweat had soaked his back before he knew it. The weather in September should have been very hot, but at this time, he only felt a deep chill all over his body!
As the voting ended, the award results were officially sealed, and everyone left together.
Chen Kexin sat alone in the conference room for a long time, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.
"If I continue to fight against the mainland film and television industry, will I still reap the rewards?"
…
On the morning of September 8, calls made by the staff of the film festival organizer reached the ears of Chen Fei and Paul Thomas Anderson respectively.
Both parties on the same floor are celebrating at this time and looking forward to the award ceremony tonight.
"Hahahahaha!"
Harvey laughed loudly, with a look on his face that said, "Heaven is the boss, Earth is the second boss, and I am the third boss."
"So what if I'm being targeted by other crew members? Can't I win the award smoothly?"
He crossed his legs, took a long puff of cigar, and exhaled thick smoke.
Under the admiring gazes of the rest of the people in the room, he flicked off the ash and began a new round of preaching: "If you want to win an award, the most important thing is to publicize the judges.
Regarding this point, whether it is the three major European film festivals or the Oscars, all of them follow the same process.
The quality of "Dallas Buyers Club" is indeed high enough, but so what? This time it will still be defeated by us!"
The room suddenly rang with flattering voices, and a group of people looked at Harvey with admiration, as if they were looking at their God!
Tonight, God will lead them to attend the awards ceremony and win many awards!
Paul Thomas Anderson adjusted his tie with anticipation.
At this moment, he seemed to have seen himself holding the Silver Lion trophy for Best Director and venting his efforts and contributions to the audience.
Of course, the process of thanking Harvey is also indispensable.
He finally hugged a strong thigh, and he didn't want to use it only once.
