China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 337 What exactly do you want to say?
On September 9st, the premiere event of "Big Crowd" was held in Venice.

On the day of the premiere, in addition to the main creative and starring actors Wang Shu, Mei Ting, Zhang Hanyu and Fu Dalong, Gong Li also came specially dressed up to attend.

Under normal circumstances, the premiere of "Big Crowd" will most likely be as deserted as "The Sun Also Rises" and "Detective."

But since we learned that Gong Li would be present, there were many more international media at the scene.

As an international actress who attended the Cannes International Film Festival and was cleared for 6 minutes by the organizer, Gong Li's status in the three major European film festivals is not false.

For example, in the original timeline, Li Yu was invited back to Treasure Island many years later to win the Golden Horse Award.

In order to make the Golden Horse Awards more attractive and valuable internationally, Li Yu visited the thatched cottage three times before inviting Gong Li over.

And when the grand prize was announced, she and Li Eu, the chairman, jointly presented the award.

All this is enough to prove Gong Li's high status in the Chinese film and television industry.

Of course, there was a problem with this Golden Horse Awards. Gong Li did not appear on stage to present the award.

As for the murderer
Wang Shu shorted the U.S. property market, using Hong Kong Island as a springboard.

After a lot of twists and turns, Dai Tianyun missed the murderer and escaped.

Neither hitting nor cursing, just trying to trick the other person out.

At the Venice Film Festival, it is normal to not receive as much attention as Li Yu.

Mei Ting and Zhang Hanyu echoed from the side: "We also have confidence in "Human Mountain and Sea of ​​People"."

In fact, whether it is before or after the opening of the Venice Film Festival, the Chinese director who has received the most attention and has the highest reputation for winning awards has always been Li Eucalyptus.

Compared with the previous lackluster performance that was set off by Li Yu, now that Gong Li is supporting it, "Human Mountain and Sea of ​​People" has benefited from a lot more popularity.

Therefore, Wang Shu was very grateful to Gong Li for taking the time to dress up and attend the premiere of "A Big Crowd" in Venice.

At the end of the meal, Gong Li left, and Wang Shu took a few steps away.

Even in the era of advanced information, some people firmly believed that Southeast Asia could make a fortune and sneak into the past, let alone now.

"They want to buy the adaptation rights of "The Tuner", but I don't want to sell it to them."

As for other mainland artists, almost no one dares to be so domineering and obediently go on stage.

Although Wang Shu has received a lot of attention because of his youth, Li Yu's international attention is far less than that of Li Yu.

Apart from anything else, at least Gong Li didn't come, and the international media at the scene would never be as numerous as before.

It is now 2007, which is not like the era of advanced information many years later.

"Coupled with films from Europe, the United States and other countries, it is not easy to win awards."

Then ask people from Hong Kong to come forward and trick the murderer into making a fortune in Southeast Asia.

After walking the red carpet of the premiere, she watched the movie for a while.

Wang Shu shook his head and responded modestly: "The most popular film is "Lust, Caution" directed by Li Eucalyptus. In addition to "Lust, Caution", there are several Chinese-language films such as "The Sun Also Rises" and "The Detective". "

Especially for the movie "Brokeback Mountain", Li Yu not only won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival the year before last, but also won the Academy Award for Best Director last year.

There are not only the three top awards in Europe, but also the top awards of the Academy Awards, truly international directors.

It can be said that with Gong Li's status, she doesn't care about the Golden Horse Award at all. She won't go on stage if she doesn't want to.

Gong Li smiled and said: "Director Wang, the movie "Human Mountain" is a good one. It should have a great chance of winning an award."

Wang Shu smiled and responded: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry anyway."

The wings of the butterfly flap, and the trajectory of fate changes.

After a lot of troubles, the premiere event ended, and the movie "Human Mountain" was officially released to the public.

"Human Mountain" has a chance to win the award, which also means that they have a better chance of winning the award.

In August, Wang Shu made a special trip to the southwestern provinces and found Dai Tianyun.

When Mei Ting and Zhang Hanyu heard this, they were immediately shocked.

night.

"Although I haven't seen the other films in the competition yet, I am personally very optimistic about "The Big Brother"."

From beginning to end, domestic and foreign media were surrounding him.

After Wang Shu heard this, he shook his head helplessly, and then said with a smile: "I'm borrowing your good words. I hope there will be a good result."

Then, it will fend for itself.

With money opening the way, he met some people on Hong Kong Island.

Wang Shu, Gong Li, Mei Ting and others had dinner together.

Therefore, even though her words were meant to be flattering, they actually came from the bottom of her heart.

Gong Li took advantage of the fact that Mei Ting and others were not around and said in a timely manner: "Mr. Dino is still considering it."

Compared with Wang Shu, it was far behind.

Gong Li smiled silently and said: "Director Wang, you are too humble. The movie "Human Mountain" is really good."

In comparison, whether it is Jiang Wen, Du Qifeng, or Wang Shu, they are all foils.

Seeing that Wang Shu really didn't care about this, Gong Li breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and then responded with a smile and said: "I wish "Human Mountain" can achieve good results this time."

In domestic entertainment, whether you are an actor or a director, you actually want to go to Hollywood to show off your talents.

Because Hollywood is the stage of world cinema.

Therefore, Gong Li subconsciously thought that Wang Shu would feel a little uncomfortable being dragged along by Dino like this.

Now that I see Wang Shu being so unconcerned, I feel relieved.

Upon hearing this, Wang Shu smiled and responded: "I hope so!"

Gong Li also had a smile on her face. She waved her hand and turned to leave.

Wang Shu did not continue to see them off, and turned back to meet Mei Ting and others, and returned to the hotel.

The four of them returned to the small villa respectively. Wang Shu first stayed in the guest room of his small villa for a while, and then went to Mei Ting's place.

As soon as she walked into Mei Ting's small villa guest room, she hugged Wang Shu and gave him a sweet kiss.

The two kissed for a while, and then Mei Ting invited Wang Shu to sit on the sofa. Then she first poured water for Wang Shu, and then peeled fruits for Wang Shu.

Peeling and cutting an apple, he brought it to Wang Shu's mouth. When Wang Shu bit down on a small half of the apple, he let Mei Ting's fingers move, causing Mei Ting to give him a blank look.

Wang Shu laughed and pinched Mei Ting.

Seeing this, Mei Ting rolled her eyes with feigned disdain.

Putting a small half of the apple into Wang Shu's mouth, Mei Ting asked in time: "What did Sister Gong Li say to you when she left? Is it confirmed that she is going to Hollywood to film the American version of "The Tuner"?"

After hearing this, Wang Shu suddenly realized why Mei Ting was so much more diligent than usual. It turned out to be the reason.

He shook his head and replied truthfully: "No, I just said that they are still considering it." After hearing this, Mei Ting sighed and defended Wang Shu and said: "Directors Chen and Xu have hit a wall in Hollywood. , it does not mean that other Chinese film directors will also encounter obstacles in Hollywood."

"Really."

"Look down on people!"

"It is definitely more suitable for you to direct the American version of "The Tuner" than those Hollywood directors."

Wang Shu pinched Mei Ting's face and said helplessly: "Just because you believe that I have this ability doesn't mean that Hollywood producers also believe that I have this ability."

"Hmph!" Mei Ting snorted angrily, "That's because they are blind."

After Wang Shu heard this, he pinched Mei Ting's face again with a smile and said, "Okay, don't worry about this anymore."

"Right now, the most important thing is "The Crowd"."

Not only did Mei Ting not resist Wang Shu's gesture of pinching her face, she even leaned directly into Wang Shu's arms. When she heard Wang Shu talking about "Mountains of People", she couldn't help but asked softly: "You said, I have a chance to win this Venice Movie queen?"

"Of course!" Wang Shu heard this and immediately answered without any doubt.

Although he knew in his heart that this year's Venice Best Actress would most likely not be Mei Ting, but someone else.

It's just that I know it in my heart, but on the surface, I not only have to say something nice, but I also have to pretend to be sincere.

"Really?" Mei Ting was very pleased by these words, and her face was full of happiness, but she asked arrogantly.

"Why are you lying to me? Your acting skills are very good, and you are definitely qualified to compete for the Best Actress at this Venice Film Festival." Wang Shu opened his mouth with beautiful words.

Anyway, it doesn't cost money to say such beautiful words, and Mei Ting is happy to hear it, so why not?

"Hmph." Upon hearing this, Mei Ting hummed twice with a smile on her face.

Then he leaned into Wang Shu's ear and said, "Wait here for a while. I'll go to the bedroom and I'll be back soon."

After saying that, without waiting for Wang Shu's reply, he ran to the bedroom, leaving a confused Wang Shu sitting on the sofa.

After a while, Mei Ting came down from the bedroom on the second floor.

Wang Shu heard the noise and looked back. At this time, Mei Ting was not wearing comfortable casual clothes at home, but a sky blue deep V dress with high slits.

This dress was exactly what Mei Ting wore today when she attended the premiere of "A Big Crowd". Afterwards, she and Gong Li had dinner together and changed their outfits.

Now it's actually worn out again.

Mei Ting walked up to Wang Shu, turned in a circle very skillfully, and asked with provocative eyes: "Does it look good?"

"Good-looking!" Wang Shu praised without hesitation.

This dress is similar to the dress she wore at the opening ceremony, both with deep V and high slit designs.

It's just that today's blue dress has a strap around the neck, and the black one is in the Qi X style.

Mei Ting looked into Wang Shu's fiery eyes, bit her lip and walked up to Wang Shu, leaned into his ear and whispered, "I knew you liked it."

As he spoke, he stretched out his mouth and bit Wang Shu's ear, breathing heavily, and then said, "I'm not wearing anything underneath."

If Wang Shu hadn't been in good health, he wouldn't have been able to handle this trip to Venice.

9 month 2 day.

The crew of "Big Crowd" no longer moved together, but began to move freely.

Mei Ting made an appointment with Wang Shu to go out and watch a movie together at a film festival.

Zhang Hanyu and Fu Dalong did not go together, but each acted according to their own ideas.

Obviously, the two of them are also waiting to have a few days of free activities after the premiere of "Big Crowd" before attending the closing awards ceremony together.

Of course, attending the closing award ceremony together is a theoretical arrangement.

Because if "Human Mountain" is not shortlisted for the final main competition unit, which is the nomination stage, then there is no need for the group to attend the closing award ceremony.

Although the closing awards ceremony is usually more star-studded and attracts more attention than the opening ceremony, the eliminated crews are losers after all. In addition, Wang Shu is already a big director, so he really can't save his face and force himself to attend the closing red carpet.

The Venice International Film Festival is one of the three largest in Europe. Even if its international influence is declining year by year, there are still many films from all over the world gathered here.

In addition to the shortlisted films in the main competition section, there are also films in the Horizon section and the Midnight Screening section.

And these are just the films participating in the Venice Film Festival.

Every time it is held in the three major European film festivals, a large number of film crews who are not qualified to participate in the Venice Film Festival also come with their films to promote or sell their films.

All in all, it was very lively.

Wang Shu and Mei Ting wandered around the screening area, and the day passed like this.

As for the film sales of "Human Mountain", it is no longer Wang Shu's personal responsibility, but the staff of Yishu Company handles the matter.

Today, Wang Shu is no longer the polished commander he was at first, but the boss of a company who does not need to do anything himself.

In the evening, Zhang Yimou learned that Gong Li had come to Venice and took the initiative to invite her to dinner.

Gong Li did not refuse.

The two chatted for a while while eating, and Gong Li suddenly asked: "Can "Human Mountain" win the award?"

When Zhang Yimou heard this, he looked up at Gong Li but did not answer.

Then, he lowered his head to eat vegetables.

Gong Li continued nonchalantly: "Don't get me wrong, Wang Shu didn't ask me to ask you, but I wanted to ask myself."

"Yesterday I attended the premiere of "The Big Crowd" and took the opportunity to watch the film."

"Wang Shu is a really gifted and talented director. I personally think this movie is very good."

"Eligible to win a prize."

Seeing that Zhang Yimou still refused to answer, Gong Li continued: "Hollywood's Dino De Laurentiis wants to buy the film adaptation rights of "The Tuner" and plans to remake it into a Hollywood movie."

Seeing Zhang Yimou's expression moving slightly, Gong Li continued: "Wang Shu made a request that he go to the United States to direct the American version of "The Tuner."

When Zhang Yimou heard this, he looked at Gong Li in surprise and asked doubtfully: "How do you know this so clearly?"

"Did Wang Shu tell you?"

"No." Gong Li took a sip of water and said, "It was Dino De Laurentiis who negotiated this matter with Wang Shu."

After Zhang Yimou heard what Pin Gongli said, he couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "What exactly do you want to say?"

After hearing this, Gong Li chuckled, and then said seriously: "Wang Shu is very talented and talented, but he is not an academic, and he does not have a valuable international award."

"Although he is now the top-grossing director in mainland China for a single film, whether it is the mainland film industry or the international film industry, what ultimately matters is the awards and the gold content of the awards."

"This time, you can serve as the chairman of the jury of the Venice Film Festival. Next time, no one from the mainland may be qualified."

"so."
