China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

【4600 words! !】

……

"Director Guan, you are really awesome this time~"

For Venice, participating in the final awards ceremony is actually a synonym for winning the award.

This has become a common practice for both Jia Zhangke and other directors.

That’s why they were so emotional.

It’s incredible that three films are shortlisted for the main competition unit and enter the Venice Awards Ceremony at the same time!

This is not just a double blossom, but a triple blossom!
Three flies!
Never seen it!

Many people who were interested in this checked and found that this situation had never happened before.

But even so, Guan Ling was in compliance with the regulations. The male turtle was suppressing the female turtle - in accordance with the regulations.

Because this is not the work of a director at all.

The main competition unit strictly limits the entry of a single work, but this is for directors but not screenwriters.

Of these three films, Guan Ling wrote and directed one, helped Ning Hao direct one, and also helped David Fincher direct one.

Guan Sandao.

Guan Sandao, a brave general of our army, will kill Lu Bu within three strikes!

Nothing wrong!

Even if someone wants to cause trouble, they can't find the law!
There is no way to judge something without legal provisions!

Just like when a man uses strong force on a woman, that is called force.

Female to male?
There is no explanation for that.

For example, a man transfers 700,000 or 800,000 yuan to a woman, and the woman transfers 5.2 yuan to the man. The man gets so angry that he dies on the river beach. That is called a normal love relationship.

And the woman transferred money to the man, was disciplined, and after wandering in the lake, it was called CPU! The man was sentenced.

Outrageous!

The rules are decided by others, but will the three major European conferences temporarily change the rules because of this incident?
will not!

God knows how much heat and controversy this incident will bring to Venice?

Controversy is also hot!
Moreover, these disputes will not be directed at Venice because they all follow the rules.

These controversies will only focus on how awesome Guan is and how bad others are.

This sense of tug of war is beneficial to the three major European countries.

It’s not Guan Ling’s fault. He has opened the eyes of the three major European countries. Such a thing has never happened in history and there is no precedent. So let’s go in together!

As soon as this happened, the entire domestic film and television circle, as well as the film and television circle in Venice, and even the global film and television circle and directors around the world were all dumbfounded.

Although the three major European competitions are held three times a year, like the World Cup, they are considered the highest honors in the film industry.

You occupy three parts in the same session, how can we play?

If you find a few more directors next time, even if you just appoint a producer, just to promote them, will we still be able to survive?
If you send three or four works to each of the three major film festivals to participate in the main competition unit, will we still be able to survive?

Dissatisfaction began to grow in the Venice film scene.

Many people looked embarrassed.

Guan Ling was also helpless when being interviewed.

“Next time, I won’t do that next time.

How could I be so talented? My scripts are all the result of my blood, tears, and hard work.

It didn't fall from the sky.

This world is one percent talent and ninety-nine percent hard work.

You have to believe me, I'm not that great.

This is all luck, and I just got in touch with the times. Think about it, how many movies can I make in a year?
How many movies have I directed since my first filming of "The Visitor"?
take it easy.

We might not be able to get together next time.

There have been directors who participated in different film festivals in a year, right?

You should relax. There is only one Golden Lion Award. I have three films shortlisted for the main competition, which means I have to fight with myself. I am not stupid, and I won’t do it next time. "

After Guan Ling said this, the pressure on everyone was slightly relieved.

Makes sense.

Director Guan has a point.

But people like Chen Kexin, Deng Chao, Zhang Ziyi and others were all in a state of confusion.

"How many plays do you have in a year? Don't you count?"

"You've only been in the industry for seven or eight years, which is more than Zhang Yimou's entire life. Don't you count?"

“You have no talent?”

Many people's faces twitched!

Among them, Chen Kexin's expression was the most stiff.

When those foreign directors asked Chen Kexin, Chen Kexin didn't know how to answer?
Can talent eventually fade?

Don't you see it?
He doesn’t shoot many movies a year?

This is unspeakable.

be honest?

This might offend Guan Ling, but it's unnecessary.

Forget it, let’s just get started.

When Chen Kexin had the idea of ​​giving up, she suddenly felt that the world was wide open.

I feel refreshed.

……

"Director Guan, will you really not do this next time?"

In the hotel, Wan Qian looked at Guan Ling with eyes full of curiosity.

Although she and Guan Ling had not known each other for a long time, she felt that there was something naughty about Guan Ling despite his harmless appearance.

When Director Guan was interviewed and said that he was not stupid, Wan Qian saw Guan Ling raised his eyebrows.

"I'll dare to do it next time." Guan Ling said.

joke?

In two years, the Chinese film market will take off. Commercial films are for business, and business requires fame.

If I don't take advantage of this opportunity to build my fame, you will face more and more criticism from the three major European organizations and the Oscars later!
Who wants to play with you?

With the power of Oscar,

Since "Titanic" won the Best Picture award with 5524 million viewers, the Oscar ratings have been declining throughout the 21st century.

After all, Guan Ling was a director in his previous life. He knew clearly that after 2014, the ratings of the Oscars had reached a low point.

From the usual 3 to 4000 million viewership, it dropped all the way to a historic low of 985 million.

The conservative selection criteria, the lack of commerciality, and the impact of streaming media on traditional viewing habits have made audiences too lazy to watch this thing.

As for the three major European organizations, they have also been criticized since 2010 for their unclear positioning, homogeneity, and similar selection criteria.

Jia Zhangke said this before in an interview.

The three major film festivals differ only in where they are held.

Mark Mueller also had a famous quote before he left office.

Said that the award criteria of Cannes and Venice are "basically the same."

The three major European fashion shows have been compromising with business and Hollywood in recent years, and the Venice red carpet has even become an abyss show for Hollywood stars.

For many years in a row, the Cannes Film Festival has had American commercial films as its opening films.

The Berlin Film Festival itself is about politics, but now it has been emphasizing social issues and subculture themes. Its new core competitiveness has never been fully formed, and it has gradually fallen into the shackles of introducing celebrity parades.

His trading platform function was gradually taken over by the Toronto Film Festival.

For the art film industry, the three major European film studios and the Oscars certainly have their own influence.
But it’s only been a matter of the last few years at most.

Their authority in the future has greatly declined.

Guan Ling is very clear about this. Even though the current Venice chairman is beginning to prepare to cut ties with Hollywood, he has only chosen three American films.

But it’s hard to reverse what’s been done. When the audience thinks you’re not good enough, it’s hard to pull them back.

If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to win some awards from the three major European cinemas and greatly enhance your fame, those ignorant audiences in the future may not sincerely praise you for the Golden Lion and Palme d'Or.

It is a lie that good wine needs no bush.

It is also a lie that a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

You are dead, why do you compare your age with mine?
When the three major European films and the Oscars are over, Guan Ling will organize a film festival of her own.
"I knew it." I just saw Director Guan lied to them.

"Lie to them?" Guan Ling was puzzled.

"I've been studying forensics recently, and I've also learned a little bit about psychology. When people are lying, their micro-expressions always reveal something, and some very common micro-expressions that are used to lie are consistent.

For example, when people are thinking, their eyes will usually look up unconsciously, and usually slightly to the left.

If it leans to the right, it usually means that the thinking is not deep, or it is just pretending.

And when I was with Director Guan, I also discovered his deceptive little expression, which is that he likes to raise his eyebrows. "

Wan Qian quipped quietly, “Just now when Director Guan said that he had no talent, he raised his eyebrows when he said he wouldn’t do it next time.”

Guan Ling also became interested after hearing what Wan Qian said, "There is such a thing? I really have no talent!"

No raised eyebrows this time.

Guan Ling knew very well that he had copied everything!

But Wan Qian covered her mouth and laughed, "You are already prepared now, so it doesn't count. The muscle memory has been affected by the nerves."

Guan Ling asked curiously, "Then when did you realize that I was lying to you when I raised my eyebrows?"

"Actually, I only discovered this when you told me that you were with me and not because you wanted to sleep with me."

Speaking of this, Wan Qian was no longer excited.

“Then because you mentioned it several times, avoided my gaze and explained, I was sure.

For example, the night we got off the plane, you said you were jet lagged, and I saw the change in your micro-expression, and then I saw Jing Tian..."

Guan Ling immediately blocked Wan Qian's mouth.

"Stop talking."

Even though the old man is still alive, and even though he offered to send it, it cannot be made public!
You are not allowed to say that again!

Block me hard!
……

At the same time, the turmoil caused by "Gone Girl" is even more severe.

A hurricane gradually developed in Venice.

"Zhang Ziyi is good enough to win a Venice Film Festival Best Actress award with this movie! I now understand why Zhang Ziyi was so proud during the interview. To put it bluntly, who else can win the Venice Film Festival Best Actress award but her?"

"David Fincher is simply a god, and Guan Ling is even more godlike. This story is invincible! The whole plot is linked together. The so-called battle between scumbags is actually often forced by marriage!"

"It's a pity that only one person can be selected for the Venice Film Festival's Best Screenplay Award, but the funny thing is that the scripts of Guan's three films are all eligible to compete for this award. Then we can see the embarrassing incident of the left hand hitting the right hand."

"In fact, 'Gone Girl' is not just about marriage, but also about the media. The noise and hype of the media can turn an immoral scum into a harmless victim."

"The media never explain the truth. They only work for the right to make money. For example, the Southern Faction of the Huaxia Public Intellectuals and some second-rate newspapers whose names cannot be mentioned are only there to serve the policy. Why don't you ask them to encourage the collection of inheritance tax?"

"Upstairs, open the door and check the water meter!"

There were also Chinese students studying abroad who watched the movie and left comments, which were discovered by their compatriots.

How dare you bear witness? How dare you! I'll chop you off with the dragon's head!
"The most enjoyable suspense thriller in recent years is as good as Seven, but I didn't expect to see two of them at this Venice Film Festival.

One is the best explanation of the worst part of marriage.

The other part tells the story of how many people in the context of marriage are living in a daze, deceiving themselves like wooden men.

One is to show you the bloody essence of marriage.

The other one just walked away laughing, thinking that just like the incident of the heavenly dog ​​swallowing the moon, it will eventually pass and everything will return to normal.

In many people's lives, marriage is a game. Once you are in it, you can't control whether it is good or bad.

Therefore, you must make the right choices in your life."

“I think David Fincher particularly hates the modern media. In the United States, a small number of elites control the brainwashing discourse, while most people consciously or unconsciously maintain the illusory morality.

I think that although Guan wrote the script, David Fincher made him more vivid.”

"You think it's not a big country in the East? Where is the right to speak? I'm talking about India!"

"Bold maniac!"

After the premiere of "Gone Girl", the program score reached a new high. With a score of 3.9, the film is almost close to full marks.

……

Countless comments have caused a huge stir overseas.

The related news reports on the domestic Internet also made all Chinese movie fans look forward to what award Guan Ling would win.

"Director Guan, both the domestic box office market and the Venice film festival are going very well. It seems that I have the advantage."

Han Sanpin's call arrived late.

Although he is in the country, Han Sanpin is still very concerned about the situation in Venice.

"It's a pity that Venice's Best Screenplay Award doesn't have a distinction between original and adapted screenplays, otherwise both awards would have been yours."

It’s a pity for Han Sanpin.

And now, it's clear that three movies are going to fight it out for this award.

"It's not a pity. If I want to win an Oscar for screenplay, those two Chinese-language films are not good enough." Guan Ling said, "To be honest, I'm also looking forward to how the pork cake will be divided in the end."

"Will they not give it to you?" Han Sanpin joked, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."

"In fact, whether I get the award or not, the popularity will be very big." Guan Ling also admitted that whether she gets the award or not, Venice will definitely become famous because of the controversy.

If he was really used to carry a sedan chair, Guan Ling would have no choice.

"If they don't even give me a Best Director or Best Jury award, then they really think I'm easy to bully."

Guan Ling said with a smile.

Even if these three films don’t win the Golden Lion Award, they won’t win any second or third place.

Guan Ling roughly understood what the other party meant.

After hanging up the phone, Guan Ling's face turned dull.

By now, the situation is out of control.

Winning the award makes everyone happy.
Even if it doesn't win the award, the tsunami of public opinion will make Venice feel what a huge wave is.

Guan Ling didn't believe that he couldn't get any of them.

……

Time flies and it is time for the closing ceremony.

There is actually nothing much to talk about on the red carpet. The red carpets of the three films were attended in turn. Wan Qian, Jing Tian, ​​Zhou Xun, Sun Li, and Zhang Ziyi were all dressed up.

The moment Guan Ling stepped onto the red carpet, she was blinded by the flash.

Then, as we waited, the award ceremony gradually began. The awards for the non-main competition units had been presented first. "Three Sisters" by Chinese director Wang Bing won the best film in this year's Horizon unit.

Then, the awards of the main competition unit were introduced.

First of all, there are technical and minor awards, which have little to do with Guan Ling.

But no one expected that Ning Hao would actually set up a Best Technical Contribution Award first.

Due to the experimental style of "Wild Tales" and the fact that he is a newcomer, he won this award with a high vote.

Then, we finally began to transition to the main awards of the main competition unit, starting with the Special Jury Award.

Under everyone's attention, the award-winning film went to the co-production "Paradise: Faith", directed by Julich.

Then came the Best Screenplay award. When the award was announced on stage, everyone's ears perked up.

"nervous?"

Wan Qian looked at Guan Ling and smiled.

"Do I need to be nervous?"

Then the award presenter smiled and opened the envelope.
"Congratulations to Guan, the winners are Wild Stories, Perfect Stranger and Gone Girl!"

When the award presenter spoke,
The whole scene was silent!

The first triple-yolked egg case occurred at the Venice International Film Festival?
Countless directors around the world were also dumbfounded and looked at Guan Ling. Are you here to buy goods?
At the beginning of this award ceremony, you gave out four awards?

are you crazy!

Venice is crazy! (End of this chapter)
