Chapter 1063 Win Another Prize (14)

In Venice, Wang Xiaoshuai is very depressed...

He also brought "The Intruder" to Venice. He originally thought he could take this opportunity to promote a wave of Chinese-language films in Venice...

Yuan Shikong, through this shortlist, he said a lot, like, 'You have already lost Zhang Yimou, do you want to lose another Wang Xiaoshuai? ’

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Wang Xiaoshuai's films in terms of technique and regularity of expression.

Plot development, rhythm, main and sub-lines, and thematic representation system.

Looking at the whole film, there are no major flaws. It can be said that his films can reflect his more rigorous creative attitude and professional abilities cultivated by good professional education.

But that's it, he is the type without talent!

The inspiration and intuition of a talented artistic director is very important and limits the artistic effect and novelty of his ideas.

His film is tidy enough, but it lacks the eureka moments that make people sigh with admiration - like the "magic moment" that Sorrentino gave us in the last ten minutes of "The Beautiful City".

Including the dream meeting between Jack and Rose in "Titanic"

When the camera flashed past the photos in front of Rose's bed, she did everything Jack said, and then they met in a dream.

Amazing and touching.

In "The Invincible", the moment when Dongfang Bubai is drinking from a pot in the water, he perfectly combines the heroic spirit of the man with the charm and delicacy of the woman. He only wears red clothes and drinks in the water, which makes people look like Intoxicated.

At the end of "Memories of Murder", Song Kanghao's big face seemed to be staring at the murderer in front of the screen and asking: Is this your memory of murder? So many lives, what do you have to say?

Including Lao Mouzi's "Hero", the scene where Maggie Cheung and Zhang Ziyi fight in an autumn forest, the bright red clothes and the golden autumn leaves form a strong contrast, combined with the actor's soft figure, perfectly interpret the beauty of Chinese martial arts .

Wang Xiaoshuai's movies don't have these...

Judging from "The Elephant Sitting on the Floor", director Hu Bo happens to have some talent...

In fact, the best way to engage in art is to be like Li Zongsheng - dig out the May Day, invest the money, and they can do whatever they want and follow their own ideas. The so-called helping people, helping to send Buddha to the west.

Wang Xiaoshuai is different, he has to let others have his own way.

On the one hand, it advocates that 'directors are free to think and express', on the other hand, it suppresses young directors...

This person is quite insincere!

To bring it back, he watched "Parasite" in Venice and felt desperate!

This movie far surpasses "The Intruder" in terms of depth, scale, and even watchability, and even widens the gap with other works in the main competition...

At the beginning, the sixth generation came to prominence by opposing the commercialization of the fifth generation.

After capital came in, they relied on the "high quality" of art films to attract investment...

In those years, you could see a lot of traffic appearing in literary and artistic films, such as Wang Yuan in "Eternal Life", Yang Xiaomi in "Baby"...

Do directors really like these actors?

The picture shows the purchasing power of fans!

The problem is, "Parasite" is of a very high standard, but the artistry that Wang Xiaoshuai is proud of is not superior...

What to do?

Keep at it!

In an interview with Time.com, he said: ""Parasite" is a fable... But I think it is more a victory of the script. Zhang Yimou and others have resources that are difficult for us to match..."

""Parasite" is a movie that aims to win awards. I don't think this is right. The movie..."

"But you said before that movies can't rely solely on box office. After Zhang Yimou joined Tianmei Media, he stopped making commercial films... Isn't this right?"

"How much does it cost him? How much does it cost me? He can ignore the cost, but can we? This is unfair!"

"...I heard that "Parasite" cost 35 million..."

“…”

Wang Xiaoshuai shut up, and the reporter continued to ask: "Zhang Yi said that he pursues uniqueness, hopes to "never say anything shocking", and hopes to be innovative. The book "Parasite" satisfies his ideas... What do you think?"

"My ideas are of no use. Let's wait until the festival is over!"

This sentence is tantamount to directly saying that "movies that win awards are good movies"...

Well, I was hoping that "Parasite" would not win the award - "Parasite" not only went to Venice, but also went to the Toronto Film Festival. The two film festivals overlapped in time, which means that Zhang Yimou left midway...

It should be impossible to win an award if you disrespect Venice so much!

Unfortunately, the facts did not unfold as he imagined...

On September 5th, "The Intruder" did not receive an invitation to the closing ceremony and could only return home sadly. However, "Parasite" did receive an invitation to the closing ceremony...

…

Domestically, we are entering September and the summer season is over.

Shen Xudong hasn't made many public appearances recently - he almost vomited while running for promotions some time ago. He really needs to rest!

Without taking any rest, he went straight to Da Tiantian and gave her a copy of "Total War: The Great Wall": "I want you to gain at least ten pounds of muscle in three months..."

Oh, "Total War: The Great Wall" is jointly invested by Wanda, TiMi, Warner Bros., and China Film. Warner is responsible for global distribution, and domestic distribution is handed over to Maoyan + TiMi...

The total cost is US$120 million, with Wanda providing half of the funds, provided that Da Tiantian plays the female lead.

It doesn't matter to Shen Xudong, anyway, his plot is based on Yu Qianshou BJ, which starts with a prince of the dynasty's expedition and the entire army is annihilated, and then the eldest princess played by Jing Tian is ordered to defend the Great Wall in danger;

"…build muscle?"

"Yes, you are a female general and you have to wear armor. You are too thin to hold it up!"

After thinking for a while, he added: "You still need to receive relevant movement training..."

"But I have to record "Run" next month..."

"Forget it this season..." Shen Xudong asked her, "Are you going to be an actor or a variety show star?"

Da Tiantian was distressed: "...I want to do it all..."

"That's not possible. The shooting of "The Great Wall" will take at least half a year. In addition to the preparation and training in the early stage, it will take at least eight or nine months..."

"But if I leave, there will be no female MC in "Run"..."

"You don't have to worry about this, we will arrange for a new person to take over!"

"Newcomer?" Da Tiantian was curious: "Who?"

"Reba..."

"Reba..." Da Tiantian thought about her appearance and nodded, but still insisted: "...Actually, I can do both...recording "Running Man" will not affect my training..."

"But it affects my request for the movie. To be honest, not only you, but also Wu Jing is leaving..."

"Why?"

"...Wu Jing is busy directing and starring in his own movie "Wolf Warrior", and he can't spare any time..."

"Hey, I really like "Run"..."

"People, don't be too greedy. It's not advisable to want something at the same time!"

As he was talking, someone knocked on the door, and Shen Xudong shouted, ‘Come in! ’, then, Chen Duling ran in with surprise on her face: “I just received news that director Zhang Yi won the Golden Lion Award for the third time for “Parasite”!”
