Chapter 266 [93] The world premiere of "Warm", a scene where everyone exclaimed!

"Woody Allen's "What Else" premiered in Venice, kicking off the film festival! 》

"Johnny Depp and Selma Haye appear in Venice!" 》

"Stallone took to the red carpet with "Spy Kids 3"! 》

"The biggest hit at Venice this year, Sean Penn's new film <21 Grams>!"

The crew of "Warm" appeared on the red carpet and became the only film from mainland China to be shortlisted for Venice! 》

"Berlin Best Actor Chen Yu competes for the second International Best Actor trophy!" 》

……

Just one day later, the 60th Venice Film Festival was already covered with overwhelming coverage in China.

Chen Yu, Huo Jianqi and others stayed at the "Warm" booth after walking on the red carpet. During this period, many people came to inquire, but their intentions were not clear; it can be seen that even in foreign countries, The market for literary and romantic films is still not big.

This time, in addition to Huo Jianqi, his wife Su Xiaowei, the female lead Li Jia, and the male lead Teruyuki Kagawa all came together.

The day after tomorrow is when the countercurrent unit announces the final list of winners. Although there is no closing red carpet, there is an awards ceremony.

Su Xiaowei also came here with Huo Jian as childhood sweethearts. Of course, she knew the things between young people, so she deliberately created some opportunities for the two of them.

"Brother Xiao Yu, Sissi, if you are fine, you can go watch a movie. Just have me and Jian Qi here!"

The response of "Warm" at the film festival was average, so I had to prepare for it.

This film premiered only three days after the festival started, which was quite a disadvantage.

Chen Yu didn't refuse, and looked at Liu Yifei: "Want to go and see it?"

Right now, there is only one way to reverse this situation.

"You decide!"

Although Huo Jianqi is confident about the movie "Warm", no one knows what the outcome will be until it is released. Except for Chen Yu, he should be the most confident among everyone.

Chen Yu estimates that this life will only be better.

The premiere of "Warm" is scheduled for the 29th, which is tomorrow.

I also have to visit Takeshi Shimokitano, one of the most powerful directors in Japan.

In this way, Chen Yu and Liu Yifei watched 2 movies in two days!

There are several finalists in the main competition, as well as the countercurrent unit. It has to be said that this time "Warm" has a very strong opponent.

The Japanese's interpersonal relationships are actually more complicated than those in China.

However, it is not up to Chen Yu to decide how many audiences will come; he can only know that this movie can't go wrong.

But "Warm" is really hard to say.

Chen Yu and others arrived at the scene early and set up some advertisements, including billboards and roll-up banners.

If we finally meet each other at a film festival, we must maintain the relationship.

Of course Li Jia had no objection. For a while, Su Xiaowei and Huo Jianqi were the only two people left in front of the "Warm" booth. In fact, it was nothing. There were only a few people asking in a day, and the two of them could handle it perfectly; besides, Chen After watching a few movies, I will replace them.

1: pm, Venice Grand Theater, half an hour before the premiere starts.

"Sister Jia, are you going?"

He believes that his performance is better than that of Guo Xiaodong in his previous life, and Huo Jianqi should not lose his standard. Is the editing worse than his previous life?

"I don't know, how many people can come?"

Therefore, Chen Yu seemed very calm.

It's not that he has confidence in his acting skills, but Huo Jianqi.

At any rate, a great director at the same time as Lao Mouzi must have this level.

Anyway, Liu Xiaoli is just a light bulb, and one more is not much. Forget about Kagawa Teruyuki, he seems to have to go to a few Japanese crews to communicate.

In the previous life, "Warm", apart from the unsatisfactory domestic box office, it was also very satisfactory in terms of word-of-mouth, awards, and Japanese box office.

"Let's go, there are some movies I still want to watch!"

Li Jia said there that the Venice Grand Theater can accommodate 3200 spectators. If it is a film shortlisted for the main competition, there is no need to worry about the problem of full seats, but it may have to be added, just like the original " "Blind Shaft" is the same.

After the premiere, if the reputation is good, the number of people buying the film will definitely increase; and then, after winning the award, whether it is the price or the distribution company that buys it, there will be even more people.

The films shortlisted for the main competition are still different; the countercurrent unit is obviously worse. Although Chen Yu also asked Huo Jianqi to advertise, the effect was average.

Huo Jianqi has even gone out to distribute flyers. He mainly wants more people to see it and let the reputation be thoroughly fermented at the film festival.

"Okay!"

Together with Chen Yu and three other people, there were seven people in the booth.

But whoever asked him to participate in Venice for the first time, Lao Mouzi would probably get the premiere on the first day.

Premiere!

Just like that, the 29th has arrived, the day of the world premiere of "Warm".

The Berlin premieres of "The Blind Shaft" and "Kara" were sold out, so there was no need for this.

Not to mention "Lost in Translation", there are just a few movies from small European countries, and Chen Yu has seen them with great stamina.

The number of people was enough, but the consultation was far less enthusiastic than that of "The Blind Shaft".

"..."

Time passed by, and fifteen minutes before the movie was about to premiere, audiences finally began to come in one after another; then, more and more audiences came in, including the judges of the countercurrent unit and the main actors. The judges of the competition unit, a group of more than a dozen people, came to the theater.

Huo Jianqi and Chen Yu rushed to greet them.

"Chan, I watched your "The Blind Shaft" and it was a great performance!"

The chairman of the jury, Mario Monicilli, spoke English and spoke to Chen Yu. This old man is not well-known, but he is a famous Italian director who has been shortlisted for three major film festivals and Oscars. Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Director Xu!"

Chen Yu shouted respectfully, but Xu Anhua said to Huo Jianqi and Chen Yu: "Actually, you don't need to worry about the audience. The Berlin Best Actor's business card is still very popular in Europe!"

"Yes, Chen Yu, you are already quite famous!"

Liu Ruoying also came forward.

They are all Chinese, and it is normal for them to communicate with each other before the premiere.

Chen Yu had never thought about this. Huo Jianqi also attended Venice for the first time and had little experience. When the two of them talked about it, they seemed to have some reaction. They had never regarded the Berlin Best Actor as a selling point for promotion.

But looking at the audience, it seems like they all know it?

"I remembered, it was introduced in the brochure!"

Su Xiaowei quickly opened the brochure of the Venice Film Festival. Next to the film "Warm", there was indeed the name of the Berlin Best Actor in English.

Although the three major film festivals are constantly fighting with each other, they are all in Europe, and the public still recognizes them.

"Blame me, blame me..."

Huo Jianqi really didn't think about this operation, but Chen Yu thought it was nothing. It was good for now, but too deliberate publicity might have made him inferior.

After a while, the entire Venice Grand Theater was filled with spectators.

Not to mention ordinary moviegoers, many directors in the industry were also sitting there. For example, the four Asian directors shortlisted for the main competition this time, Cai Mingliang, Takeshi Kitano, etc., even Stallone and Nicolas Cage were also in front. Sit in rows.

Cage had seen Chen Yu's film last time in Berlin, and this time he also came to Venice.

In fact, this is normal. In addition to wandering around, the film festival is all about watching movies. Chen Yu is not well-known abroad. In fact, he has watched many premieres. Of course, Kitano Takechi who came to watch his movies does not count. What.

The title of Berlin Best Actor has nothing to do with fame. They all come to see Chen Yu's acting skills.

Including the most important star in Venice this time - Sean Penn!

Next year he will win the Oscar for Best Actor and become the only living, Golden Slam Best Actor!

He has won Best Actor at three major film festivals, and the only thing missing is an Oscar.

There are only two actors in the world who have achieved this achievement, but the other Jack Lemmon has passed away.

Chen Yu remembers this Venice very clearly. He won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor for the second time and won the Venice Best Actor trophy for the second time!

He was sitting in the second row, wearing a mustache, waiting for the movie to start.

Chen Yu didn't waste any time. After greeting a few people on the jury, he sat down in the first row.

In the theater, it finally became quiet.

On the dark big screen, traces of the opening of the movie suddenly appeared.

[This film is adapted from Mo Yan's novel "White Dog Swing"! 】

[Producer: Chen Yu! 】

……

After the subtitles were typed, even though Rao knew that Chen Yu had invested in the movie, Liu Xiaoli was still a little touched.

"Blind Well" was shortlisted for investment in Berlin, which can be regarded as Chen Yu's luck; now, "Warm" has been shortlisted for Venice, which must be said to be Chen Yu's vision.

It is estimated that only Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei know that compared to Chen Yu's performance, his investment vision is also outstanding.

To be able to achieve such a level at the age of 19, Liu Xiaoli believed that she had seen and heard of many powerful young people, but none of them could compare to her "son-in-law".

Teacher Sanbao's soothing and gentle background sound sounded at this time, and the unique Chinese cucurbit flute was played alone, but it did not appear monotonous at all. Instead, it gave people a simple feeling of returning to nature. Even though the movie hasn't started yet, the background music alone makes countless people feel an inexplicable warmth.

This movie should be very heartwarming, right?

The tone seemed to be set at this moment.

Then, while everyone was immersed in the music, the big black screen suddenly lit up.

The beautiful scenery of Wuyuan, Jiangxi, China, suddenly lit up in everyone's sight like an explosion.

wow——

There was a moment of commotion in the theater.

Everyone was shocked by the original natural beauty in front of them.

This shot with a telephoto lens to the end is simply beautiful; Huo Jianqi's art skills are vividly displayed in this picture at this moment.

Large mountains, trees, and villages in the distance create a quiet and peaceful scene.

The sound of bicycles rumbling gradually came out. Lin Jinghe, played by Chen Yu, wearing a vest and shirt, riding a bicycle eagerly, became more and more clear in everyone's sight.

Facing the wind, he rode fast and happily.

From time to time, I turned my head and looked at the familiar scenery around me, showing a trace of longing. Then a smile appeared on my lips, and I became more and more enthusiastic about riding.

His eyes became more determined when he saw the village at the foot of the mountain.

That was his hometown, the home he hadn't returned to in ten years.

At this time, Chen Yu's magnetic original English dubbing also resounded in everyone's ears as Lin Jinghe galloped.

Coupled with the melodic and increasingly warm background sound, the hearts of all the audience seemed very peaceful at this time, as if the movie in front of them could cleanse people's souls.

The audience sees the plot, and colleagues see the level.

The soundtrack, visuals, and filming at the beginning are all top-notch. Coupled with Chen Yu's performance, many people are already looking forward to the unfolding of this movie.

warmth?

What kind of heart-warming story does this movie title tell?

Everyone was puzzled, but they urgently wanted to know.

"Since the year I was admitted to college, I haven't been back for almost ten years!"

"..."

The narration of Chen Yu’s background answered the doubts of countless colleagues present.

It turned out that it was a wanderer who had not returned home for ten years, telling stories about the past?

Until Lin Jinghe returned to his hometown to help his teacher finish some work, he met his first love on the river embankment, a crippled village woman carrying a heavy load of pigweed. Even though her makeup was ugly and sloppy, everyone could still vaguely recognize her. From this face, I can discern a trace of the village woman's former appearance.

That must be a pretty girl.

A village woman and a wanderer returning from the big city, the two stood at the bridge, staggered from each other, a complete contrast in identity.

From the beginning of the story, the audience almost already understands it.

The title of the movie "Warm" is not a story, but a person, the village woman played by Li Jia - Nuan.

The moment Lin Jinghe passed by He Nuan, everyone saw the burst of emotions between the two.

After not seeing each other for ten years, Lin Jinghe still recognized her at a glance; and Nuan also did not forget Lin Jinghe.

They still love each other.

The performances of Chen Yu and Li Jia illustrate this very well, and everyone can see it.

Even if it's just a shot of each other mistaking each other, it can make people feel that there is a surge of emotion between two people.

At this time, the movie also added a slow motion and beautiful melody, which added to the sublimation of emotion.

Ten years ago, the simple and clear love between two people.

"Nuan, I'm Jinghe!"

Lin Jinghe caught up with Nuan Nuan who was carrying Pig Cao on his back. Nuan Nuan's back was facing her, with a complicated expression. After a while, he said, "I didn't know you were Jing He?"

Yes, the two men had long recognized each other.

"I didn't expect to meet you here!"

"I arrived at my hometown this morning!"

Lin Jinghe said eagerly, Nuan didn't say a word, unloaded the pigweed aside, and didn't look at him, but limped to the riverside minding his own business.

"I heard about it!"

Nuan wiped his body there: "With just a few words, you have settled the grievances Teacher Cao has suffered over the past few years. The mayor even drank with you, and the villagers are praising you for your conscience!"

"This damn weather won't stop until we steam people to death!"

"It's been a few days since the beginning of autumn, and it's already the beginning of autumn!"

Nuan was cursing while washing his hands.

……

Everyone felt a kind of sadness, and they all wanted to know urgently why the two people, who seemed to be lovers, ended up in such a disparate ending.

A vulgar peasant woman, a wise intellectual.

"I thought you no longer live in the village. Are you okay?"

After Lin Jinghe stopped talking many times, he seemed to muster up the courage and asked Nuan who was limping up.

"Okay? What do you mean by good, having food and clothing?"

"I have children and a husband, and I lack nothing but a lame leg!"

Nuan was about to carry Pig Cao on his back again, but Lin Jinghe immediately said: "Shall I use the car to push it for you?"

He hurried to ride a bike on the other side of the river, but by the time he got there, Nuan in his sight had already limped away.

The camera suddenly zoomed out, and Lin Jinghe stood there while riding, looking motionlessly at Nuan's back. At this moment, the line rang out again: "I finally understand why I haven't dared to come back for so many years!"

"I can not!"

"I'm afraid of seeing her!"

"I'm even more afraid that I won't be able to see her!"

The camera suddenly focused on Chen Yu, who was looking over there with a complicated expression on his face, his eyes staring straight ahead, a little crazy.

After 5 full seconds, shua——

The screen switches instantly.

Lin Jinghe, with a younger face, appeared in front of everyone.

He is immature, with clear eyes, a smile on his lips, and a hint of newly developed down on his face. He looks like a student who has never stepped out of campus.

Childishness is still intact and youth is overflowing.

The scene just ten years later created a completely different and violent impact in everyone's mind.

You know, the 5-second shot just left a deep impression on everyone's mind.

But now, there's a sudden switch.

boom!

There was a sudden sensation in the theater.

The contrast in this scene is really too strong.

At this moment, the background music suddenly became cheerful.

Everyone felt it, this should be... a memory from ten years ago.

"Wow, this camera switch is amazing!"

"Two protagonists of different ages!"

"Awesome this scene transition!"

"It pulls people in all of a sudden!"

"Yes, the protagonist from ten years ago, and the protagonist from ten years ago..."

"Is it played by the same person?"

"The temperament and demeanor are completely different!"

"So smooth!"

"..."

Countless people were whispering there, and the jury members sitting in the front row, as well as several directors and actors, all showed expressions of admiration.

The transition of the scene just now really shocked them all.
