I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 280: The Contempt Chain of the Three Major Film Festivals

"Phew, it's finally here!"

Chen Jin finally arrived at Venice Tersera Marco Polo Airport at 30 a.m. on the 11th, Italian time; the last time he took many transfers, from plane to bus to train, he almost got motion sickness.

I was luckier this time, but not by much. The time was just right, so I took a direct flight.

But actually I was exhausted.

Taking the Venice water bus, Chen Jin headed to Lido Island, where the Venice Film Festival was held.

The airport is about 10 kilometers away from the city, and it is by water.

When Chen Jin opened her phone, she saw the message from Pu Lun. She had almost finished investigating all the negative information on the Internet.

In fact, Chen Jin had heard about many operations in the entertainment industry before.

For example, taking the blame for someone else, appearing on the hot search list, etc., but before that, in fact, the most common thing done in this circle was to buy black material; Liu Yifei had encountered this before. Usually, if there is no background, or if the big boss behind the scenes gets into trouble, the entire agency or studio will suffer.

Liu Yifei was imprisoned because of her godfather Chen Jingfei, and now Chen Jin... apparently it's the same.

But he didn't reach the point where Liu Yifei stood up Huayi, so Wen Zhang's agency, Perfect World Pictures, hired some internet trolls to disgust him.

For example, the private messages Chen Jin received might be from crazy fans in the fan circle who believed everything they heard; or it might be from the perfectly arranged internet trolls who were doing the work. Their purpose was not to discredit Chen Jin, but to take advantage of this wave to hype up Wen Zhang online while belittling Chen Jin and stepping on him to get to the top.

The characters who are bullied behind the scenes will always get sympathy from netizens.

Especially since the box office of "Ocean Paradise" was okay, many people thought that Wen Zhang performed well in the film, but these fans were very dissatisfied because Chen Jin won the Best Newcomer Award.

Even if he is just a newcomer to the Huabiao Award.

And once the water army traffic is purchased, those who lead the rhythm will of course come.

"There is a reason why domestic entertainment is so bad in the future!"

Instead of thinking about developing and expanding the film industry, they fight among themselves every day. Those capitalists are like corrupt feudal tycoons, controlling the discourse power of this circle and not allowing any rebellious voices.

Wu Jing's rise was just the first shot.

"The Wandering Earth" and "Nezha" have completely torn off the fig leaf of this circle.

In fact, Jia Ling can be regarded as a representative of the new force. It's a pity that she ruined herself and her marketing backfired. Otherwise, she would have become a positive representative of female directors, rather than just a carnival for female fighters.

In the early days, Jia Ling had a lot of passers-by fans.

There is also Chen Sicheng, who can be regarded as a member of the new force and has the courage to break the self-contained domestic entertainment circle!
In the end, Zhang Yimou and others were actually kidnapped by these feudal capitals.

Beijing circle capital is the ultimate core of this circle.

"Want to buy some press releases?"

Pu Lun asked.

"No, if we buy it, wouldn't that be fulfilling their wish?"

Wanmei hopes that Chen Jinfang will join the game and then hype both of them up to achieve a win-win result.

"When the Venice Film Festival is over, if I don't win any awards, I'll use last year's Venice Newcomer Award to gag you!"

The role of Lao San in "The Hawthorn Tree" is not just about winning the Huabiao Newcomer Award, it has also been officially certified by Venice Film Festival. This is Chen Jin's strongest confidence. No matter how well you, Wen Zhang, perform, can you get this award?

Therefore, Chen Jin’s winning of the Newcomer Award is absolutely justified.

Of course, if Chen Jin is crowned the emperor of Venice this time... then this perfect wave of marketing will be a clown.

He has won the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival, and you are still fussing over a Newcomer Award?
"it is good!"

"I hope your wish comes true now. I'll burn incense for you every day, hahahaha!"

Pu Lun was saying in voice that the entire film science not only used chat for communication, but also set up many chat groups for companies, crews, and departments.

It turns out that chat groups are more convenient than QQ groups.

……

Half an hour later, Chen Jin finally arrived at the beach of Lido Island.

Chen Jin did not take the domestic online public opinion seriously. He walked towards the hotel booked by Tian Zhuangzhuang and sent him a message.

After a while, Chen Jin was in the hotel lobby, and joined the group of people who were attending the Venice Film Festival at "Life Events".

"elder brother--"

Zhao Jinmai jumped towards Chen Jin like a happy little skylark.

Early in the morning, Zhao Jinmai knew that Chen Jin would come today.

Chen Jin picked him up and found that after only a few months of not seeing him, Xiao Zhao had grown a lot taller and was now as tall as his chest.

The little girl's chin has become pointed, and her face, which originally had a bit of baby fat, seems to have become more girlish.

Only those lively eyes were still round.

"I've grown 2 centimeters taller, brother, have you noticed?"

Zhao Jinmai stood on tiptoe and gestured, her hair hanging softly on her shoulders, swaying gently with her movements.

At the age of around 10, girls are in the golden period of development and seem to be quietly transforming every day.

She was wearing a light pink dress with lace at the neckline that added a touch of sweetness.

"My mother and I went to see The Founding of a Party. My brother acted really well!"

The voice was clear and pleasant, with a hint of childishness, yet full of admiration.

I just don't know whether these words were taught by her mother Hu Ling or they were her real words.

Chen Jin let go and scratched her nose: "Have you been to Venice these days?"

"I just took a walk nearby..."

When talking about this, Zhao Jinmai pouted her lips, with a trace of grievance in her eyes: "Mom makes me do my homework in the hotel every day, saying that I can only take you out to play when my brother comes!"

Chen Jin: “…”

Is it so miserable?
Do you still have to do homework every day in Venice?
"You listened to her nonsense..."

Hu Ling also came over with a doting smile on his face. Hearing this, he immediately looked at the somewhat wilted Zhao Jinmai and shook his head helplessly: "The main reason is that I am not familiar with this place. This is my first time here, and her father doesn't have time. I am not very confident that she is abroad!"

"I'm going to write through my homework book!"

The little girl poked her head out from Chen Jin's arms and complained, gesturing with her fingers: "The test paper my mother bought is so - thick!"

She said that in an exaggerated tone, and suddenly her eyes rolled around, and she pulled the corner of Chen Jin's clothes and shook it: "Brother, do you know that the pigeons in St. Mark's Square will steal homework? Yesterday, the wind blew the notebook open, and a bad pigeon stepped on it and left a plum blossom mark!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang, who was walking over, quickly joked: "I think those pigeon footprints are quite artistic, they can be exhibited as abstract paintings!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone laughed and Chen Jin hurriedly greeted everyone.

Zhao Jinmai took the opportunity to put her cold little hand into Chen Jin's palm, tilted her head and whispered: "Actually, I secretly drew a picture of us walking on the red carpet on the blank page~~~"

"Oh? You can also draw?"

"I just drew it randomly. The main thing is to learn English and do math!"

Zhao Jinmai sighed in an old-fashioned manner.

Hu Ling at the side hurriedly explained with a smile: "Since they are abroad, let her experience the importance of foreign languages firsthand..."

"No, my mom tells me how much I should do every day!"

Zhao Jinmai spread his hands, as if he had found a helper, and complained about Hu Ling's "injustice".

Hu Ling was so amused by her that he laughed: "Someone is backing you up, right?"

"hey-hey!"

Zhao Jinmai stuck out her tongue, with a hint of cunning in her eyes.

"Okay, Brother Chen Jin still needs to rest, so don't bother him!" Hu Ling said with a stern face. Zhao Jinmai then reluctantly let go of Chen Jin's hand and walked to Hu Ling's side.

Everyone hurried upstairs.

"I'm going to attend a cocktail party tonight, and I'll take you to meet some people!"

"Nothing else!"

In the elevator, Tian Zhuangzhuang spoke to Chen Jin.

Chen Jin nodded: "Okay, then I'll sleep for a while!"

"Mai Mai, after our movie premiere is over, I'll take you to Venice for a good stroll!"

As Chen Jin spoke, he squatted down and looked at Zhao Jinmai levelly: "Shall we take a gondola to find pigeons that can do their homework?"

"really?"

Zhao Jinmai was so excited: "Brother, keep your word!"

"Well, pinky promise?"

"It's okay, I believe you!"

Zhao Jinmai smiled, but then seemed to think of something unhappy, and said, "But I have to finish my observation diary first..."

"journal?"

Who's a decent person who writes that kind of stuff?

Chen Jin looked at Hu Ling, and Hu Ling hurriedly said, "Improve your writing skills!"

The mother of a chicken baby.

No wonder Zhao Jinmai wanted to complain, these are all excuses!
Studying foreign languages abroad, observing and writing diaries... Chen Jin shook his head, but it was difficult for a judge to judge family affairs, and he obviously couldn't do anything about such things.

"Then how many days should I take Mai Mai out to play after the premiere?"

Chen Jin sought Hu Ling's opinion.

"Well, I promised her that I would let her have fun when you come!"

"Why don't you thank me, brother?"

Hu Ling looked at Zhao Jinmai, who immediately said sweetly, "Thank you, brother!"

"This girl heard you were here, and she obviously didn't have the heart to do her homework today!"

Hu Ling sighed, and the elevator door opened. Zhao Jinmai walked out with red ears, but she turned her head and made a face: "No! It's just that the questions are too difficult!"

"Ha ha!"

Chen Jin smiled and waved to her, then walked towards her room.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Hu Ling touched Zhao Jinmai's hair, and Zhao Jinmai's head shook like garlic: "Hmmmm!"

She was looking forward to Chen Jin's arrival.

After Chen Jin returned to the room, he first sent a message of safe arrival to Zhu Yanmanzi, Su Wanyu and others, and then he took a shower, ate something light, set an alarm for 2 hours, and went straight to bed.

……

In the evening, Chen Jin, Tian Zhuangzhuang, photographer Hou Yong, screenwriter A Cheng and others attended a private banquet in Venice.

Hou Yong Acheng is also an old man in Venice.

The two have been here more than once and have won awards. Ah Cheng was a judge in previous years and settled here. Many people know him.

Tian Zhuangzhuang has actually been very busy these days, attending various cocktail parties and gatherings, mainly to promote his movies.

It's not easy for Old Tian even at his old age.

“Basically, it’s not a big problem!”

"The chairman of the jury should also compromise..."

Tian Zhuangzhuang said to Chen Jin on the way: "In the past few days, we have been in contact with him. He is actually under a lot of pressure. The main reason is that Venice is not private, and he, as the chairman of the jury, can't cover everything with one hand!"

"Look at the media and audience reactions after the premiere. In Lao Ma's words, it's all about word of mouth for the movie!"

"If the reputation is good, the award is almost certain to win!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang patted Chen Jin on the shoulder. It was obvious that he had not drunk all the wine in the past few days in vain. He probably dated many foreign models. "I just don't know what award I can win!"

"It's enough to win the award, I don't ask for anything else!"

"Well, that's true, but our target is definitely you!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang, the director of Beijing Film Academy, obviously had nothing to say and knew the choices of the film: "In short, the combined strength of our parties is enough for Darren to pay attention to. This guy is still young and will continue to be in this circle in the future!"

"To put it bluntly, this thing is the art of compromise. Few people can stand out from the crowd!"

As they were talking, the group had already arrived at the venue for today's banquet, which was the same place that Chen Jin and Lao Mouzi came to last year.

This party was full of people from the film industry. What they had in common was that they had all won the three major awards, or at the very least been nominated, which was also the threshold for participation, and of course the same went for actors.

So people like Cheng Xiaodong obviously cannot participate.

Jet Li was also turned away.

This is actually a kind of three-way contempt chain. Directors and actors of commercial films are not well-received by these old Europeans who claim to be artists.

Chen Jin did meet Jia Zhangke. This time, Jia was the chairman of the jury of the Horizon unit. His wife Zhao Tao was standing next to him. The two of them looked very happy and were obviously regular guests at such cocktail parties.

In everyone's eyes, this kind of cocktail party is probably a microcosm of the upper class.

The trend of playing with young models in China in later generations came from Europe and the United States; because in addition to filmmakers, there were all kinds of young actresses and models at the cocktail parties, and these actresses were also quite open-minded.

They are young, beautiful and of course have impeccable figures. Some of them have very artistic faces and are suitable for the big screen.

As long as you can find a director to work with, you can enter the film industry.

Then just sleep your way up, there is still hope of becoming famous.

So the so-called carpet star is actually a way to stand out.

Lao Tian may have played around a few days ago, so this time he took Chen Jin to do serious work and got to know many people from the official industry, as well as non-official producers and distributors who could influence the official industry.

The banquet lasted until the early morning before everyone dispersed.

Some of them held their female companions' hands like gentlemen and got into the arranged car; some of them couldn't wait, and their female companions had already booked a room upstairs.

When it comes to openness, we still have to look at the art circles of the three major film festivals.

Sex is nothing, it is called the art of in-depth communication; many people attend the three major events, probably just for this annual communication conference.

Chen Jin once again felt the charm of the art film circle. Some of these lsp directors may not make art films for the sake of money, but for the sake of prestige and so-called fame, and also for politics, and many women will come up to them on their own initiative.

Chen Jin feels even more strongly than last year.

Last year he was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. This year he was at least a minor supporting role, and a newcomer in Venice was also considered to be somewhat famous, so many people took the initiative to come and greet him.

There were no small cards. When people heard that Chen Jin was an actor, they lost interest.

If the director said that, the girl would probably come up to him on her own initiative.

Of course, if you win the Best Actor Award at the Oscars or Venice Film Festival, it’s a different situation; the small cards will probably be so stuffed that they won’t fit in the box.

So no matter what the occasion, fame is your business card.

"Everything is ready, just waiting for the premiere!"

Chen Jin returned to the hotel. Even though he had slept for two hours in the afternoon, he just couldn't fall asleep.

I went to the gym and worked out alone for a while before I fell into a drowsy sleep.

The next day, the world-renowned 68th Venice International Film Festival officially kicked off; Chen Jin and Zhao Jinmai, who was carefully dressed up, walked onto the red carpet of the opening ceremony together!
