Chapter 277 Future Lion (Earth)

The appearance of the Future Lion Award is a brown and black porcelain altar with a faceless lion on it. It doesn’t matter if it is a lion or a dog. Of course, it also has a pair of wings that imply flying and a tail as long and thin as a whip.

The Future Lion is not unimportant. In fact, it is the third largest award for directors at the Venice Film Festival. The top two are the Golden Lion and the Silver Lion. It seems that it ranks third. Three director-related awards.

Generally speaking, the Future Lions will award the winners of the best film in the Horizon unit, but because the Future Lions require newcomers to make their first films, the requirements of the Horizon unit are not so strict, so once there is a discrepancy in the evaluation qualifications of the two, it is possible Acquired from different films.

For example, this year, Truman won the Lion of the Future, and Harman Sayedi won the best picture. It seemed logical, but almost all the audience understood that this was a consolation prize.

If Truman hadn't filmed "The Waves", then "The Wave", which is highly expected to win the championship, is very likely to win the two Horizon Awards for Best Picture and Best Actress, but now it only received a consolation prize.

At this moment, holding the future lion in his hand, Truman's speech was quite satisfactory, because he was holding the second speech, and he still had a third in his hand, which was written for the "Best Actor", but unfortunately, he didn't get it. arrive.

The only surprising thing is that Truman still insisted on delivering his acceptance speech in Chinese, and did not bring half of English. In the eyes of reporters from all over the world, this is a kind of silent resistance.

But it doesn't matter...Daniel, the vice president of DC, looked at Truman on the stage with admiration. After a short contact in the morning, DC bought "The Back Wave". Waste of money decision.

From then on, "The Back Wave" must be marked with the classic titles of "DC" and "WB" in any region.

The final destination of "The Back Wave" is definitely not the Venice Film Festival, but... Daniel rubbed his chin and smiled. There are too many possibilities. This is really a surprise. Although the cost is high, the benefits must also be huge.

……

The Paper and other domestic new media, like war reporters, kept sending all kinds of news from the Venice Film Festival back to China, while domestic audiences heard news about Truman in twists and turns.

"AV Actress Group Arrives at Cardo Island! "

The premiere of "The Wave" was cold! "

"Polar Flip!A wave of praise from the four magazines! "

"Ultimate Flip!Everything is a plot, and Hou Lang is born out of nowhere! "

"Not Fearing Copyright Infringement, All the characters are played by Truman!" "

"Truman holds the future lion in his hand and reads a speech in Chinese-China's cutting-edge directors should surprise the world!" "

……

In the past 10 days, the Paper reporters have been able to come up with a main news headline every day, without too much effort, just tell the facts. As for other frivolous news, such as the list of AV actress group members, the filming team of "The Wave" and so on , even more numerous.

It's a pity that the Venice Film Festival has no live broadcast for the past 10 days, only the final awards ceremony is broadcast live online. Due to the need to go over the wall to watch, there are very few domestic fans who have this kind of technical strength. The door only took a consoling future lion, which was an unprecedented surprise for the media and an infuriating failure for the fans of eating fish.

For the onlookers who don't know the truth, at the Venice Film Festival, an international film festival, the golden lion, the silver lion, the future lion, all lions are lions, and Truman's getting the future lion is enough to shock ignorant audiences for a whole year.

The last director who won the Venice Film Festival was 7 years ago. It is true that Chinese directors represented by Ang Lee, Zhang Yimou, Hou Xiaoxian and Jiang Wen in the 20s gave the world a lot of surprises, but after 90, Venice and other international The film festival suddenly lost the voice from China.

As a cutting-edge director, Truman got a future lion, which is groundbreaking.

An international award is enough to raise Truman's worth to the same status as those old artists and the same status as top-tier artists. What an honor it is.

The official media also created momentum for Truman. Several major media outlets published many articles praising Truman as a pioneering new artist. There is no need to say a lot of things, but the official attitude means that the ban is gone now.

It can be said that in September 2023, the entire mainland film and television industry will put on a colorful posture, waiting for the return of their hero Truman.

However, the latest news is that Truman did not return to China at all, but flew to Hollywood to accept the audition for "Joker".

Hearing this news, the editors of the entertainment section of some media first expressed their skeptical attitude.

"The clown... isn't the clown played by Joaquin Phoenix?"

"That's right, I heard that "Joker 2" will start filming at the end of the year, so it's impossible to change the leading role?"

"Impossible, will "Iron Man" change the leading role? Will "American Team" change the leading role? After the Superman movie hit, DC finally came up with a famous and popular IP. How could it be possible to change the leading role? "

That's right.

Whether it is DC or Marvel, or Time Warner behind DC, or Disney behind Marvel, in the 21st century when the film business and industry are so mature, it is impossible to make a decision that violates business logic. You can't change the protagonist of the hot IP."

This 'necessary' means that the actor is already hung.

Even if it dies, it is necessary to use technical means to pull it out of the coffin for a while. After all, what an actor signs an IP is an IP authorization, not a life authorization, and the actor's death will not prevent his portrait from being used.

Therefore, in the face of this news, many serious entertainment media have expressed doubts, but more media and self-media that only want the best news have begun to spread the news, and in the end it has become that "Joker 2" will have a Chinese actors play the lead roles.

That's outrageous.

……

On the flight to Hollywood.

Only Ting Jun and Truman were sitting in the business class, looking at the vast Atlantic Ocean that was not covered by the wings of the plane. The shimmering waves seemed to be a scene in Ting Jun's dream.

She really feels like she is in a dream now, why is she going to fly across the Atlantic to Hollywood?Before she came into contact with Truman, that is, 4 months ago, she was still an intern!

I can't figure it out... Ting Jun's heart trembles when he thinks about this, but there is no way, Lu Linlang still has Zhang Xingyun to manage, and it is already the limit to leave for the Venice Film Festival for 10 days, so it is impossible to accompany Truman again. Hollywood.

In addition, Lu Linlang has a dark eye for Hollywood, and it is useless to go there. DC has also arranged for reception staff to wait in Hollywood, so there is no need to worry about the affairs, but you still have to find a local agent. Before that, Ting Jun will have to bear the burden. Take the responsibility of taking care of Truman.

It's not that we can't send another competent person to take charge in the future, but Lu Linlang believes that after experiencing the experience of the Bay Area, Xiangjiang and Venice Film Festivals, Ting Jun is already very good and can complete the task.

May I?
Ting Jun looked at Trumen.

Truman showed a clean and innocent smile.

Ting Jun touched the leash in his pocket, he could only count on it...
