Chapter 249 Honor(44)

To be honest, this Venice movie gives people the feeling of a capital chaos!

Domestic media reports also reported that ‘major mistakes have been criticized’, ‘the film festival was disorganized, stars went crazy, and Venice suffered a ‘disaster day’’

Harvey Weinstein, who brought "The Merchant of Venice," fired directly: "I've never seen such a chaotic film festival, so you have to remind them publicly. I just stood on the stage and said: 'Who cares? Who cares?'"

Not only Harvey, but other filmmakers also complained: "The organization work is really terrible. There is not enough manpower at all. No one answers the phone calls to the office."

Film marketers also believe that the organization of this year's film festival is worse than in previous years: "All the films are late, the activities are overscheduled, and there is no rest time between two film screenings. This arrangement is too amateurish!" "

The Italian media did not hesitate to devote a lot of space to criticizing the film festival's organizational loopholes.

By the way, Harvey offered $4 million to buy out the global distribution rights to "Outstanding Citizens"...

He also promised to help fight for Oscars and so on...

Shen Xudong didn't say anything. Although he felt that the Oscar challenge was probably a lie, but they really spent 4 million US dollars...

Real money…

The contract was signed directly and all the money was given!

By the way, Shen Xudong was also invited to be the screenwriter of the American version of "Outstanding Citizen", and it was paid directly, an advance payment of US$50,000...

Why is Harvey so generous?

It can only be said that Harvey has made a lot of money in the past few years!

Indeed, Disney acquired Miramax - Disney paid the Harvey Weinstein brothers $130 million, and Disney received the rights to the name "Miramax" and more than 800 Miramax films of inventory.

Harvey is rich now.

Of course, the most important thing is that the drama "Outstanding Citizen" is interesting, and his series of planning can be used perfectly. After Venice, he plans to take "Outstanding Citizen" to the Toronto Film Festival. With a little operation, he can almost make a profit by selling the copyright. This is...

If we arrange a screening later, that’s pure profit!

If it were like "The Promise", it would be really difficult to work...

"The Promise", Harvey saw the trailer, and then offered 20 million US dollars to buy the North American distribution rights. He paid 500,000 US dollars in advance. After seeing the finished film, he immediately regretted it. He didn't take the 500,000 US dollars in advance and broke the contract. , and then China Film Group got help, and "The Promise" asked Warner to help distribute it independently...

It was released in 208 theaters for 20 days, with a final box office of US$669,000...

It’s too crotch-stretching!

Personally, I feel that Harvey attaches great importance to Chinese-language films. In the early years, the first Chinese-language film he released was Zhang Yi's "Ju Dou". "Ju Dou" brought in a box office of 1.98 million US dollars. Since then, Mira Max has also released films from Hong Kong such as "Double Dragon Club", "The Swordsman 2: The East" and "Chungking Express".

Moreover, "Heroes" is Miramax's most profitable work in recent years...

If "The Promise" is really promising, there is no reason to break the contract and offend China Film...

Or is it because "The Promise" is so bad - Chen Kexin's original words: The sales are terrible all over the world, except in mainland China...

Ahem...

But no matter how chaotic it is, the Venice Film Festival will always be the Venice Film Festival. The weight and status of the three largest films in Europe lies here!

So it’s understandable that Guan Fu is nervous...

Why is Shen Xudong so calm about Mao?

Because he knew that this year's best screenplay was awarded to "Howl's Moving Castle"...

This is one of the few film festival awards that Mr. Hayao Miyazaki has received!

Shen Xudong is definitely out of luck...

No chance at all...

…

"I am very grateful to the jury for awarding this award to me. In China, in the old days, actors were just low-class actors...

Of course, after New China, we are called literary and artistic workers."

On the stage, Director Chen gave an acceptance speech: "Although I am a literary and artistic worker, as an actor, I actually do not have many opportunities to express my opinions and opinions. We usually complete what the author and the director have assigned us. instruction.

Now that I have won this award, I can finally say that I am also a literary and artistic worker, and I can be honest and honest! In the future, I will choose content and characters that can be part of the dialogue with society. Because I feel that in this life, I cannot Only to please others, as an actor, you should also please yourself occasionally!"

"Thank you again to the jury, thank you..."

Chen Daoming clasped his hands together and bowed...

All kinds of applause from the audience!

I can’t say I’m convinced, but what I said is really beautiful.

Guan Fu also stood up and applauded, but there was a hint of loneliness hidden in his eyes - after winning the Actor Award, he was almost certain to miss out on the Golden Lion Award!

Shen Xudong didn't think too much, he applauded and applauded...

Wang Qingqiang applauded and secretly regretted it—Made, you sold it cheaply!

Even if it won the Best Actor Award, it could be sold for 5 million US dollars!

Art films are usually not for selling money, but they are still market-oriented. Why do these people participate in film festivals?

In addition to winning awards, the most important thing is to promote my works through the film festival platform, thereby attracting more buyers...

——Several major international film festivals in Europe have actually become third world countries' films "going global" - to be precise, they are the only channel to the European and American world. Therefore, they have become a way for third world artists to gain international recognition. A narrow door through which success rushes in.

As the publisher, Wang Qingqiang was entitled to a commission, so he made at least US$100,000 less!

Cao Xiwen was confused the whole time...

There was only a surprise left - "Outstanding Citizen", she was only a supporting role, and she didn't take it too seriously. She left after two weeks of filming, and then she was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival, and she even walked on the red carpet...

Now, I actually won an award!

…

Sina Entertainment, NetEase News including Sohu News immediately spread the news back to China...

Print media should be slower, after all, they need typesetting and printing. The Internet portal directly posted the photo of Chen Daoming lifting the Silver Lion trophy on the front page!

how to say…

Let’s win glory for our country…

Shen Xudong previously chatted with Chen Kexin and mentioned the 2001 Olympic bid. He said he didn't understand that 'a country's dignity should be determined by the success of its Olympic bid. This is so ridiculous!'

It's a pity that Chen Kexin is Thai. He can probably distinguish 97 genders smoothly and understand that the winner of the American beauty pageant is a fat ladyboy...

But he doesn’t understand China, he doesn’t understand the Chinese people…

Back to the topic, the front pages of all major portals are ‘Daiming Chen proclaimed himself emperor of Shuicheng’, ‘‘Outstanding Citizen’ won the best actor, and Dao Ming Chen was crowned the best actor’…

Sina directly published the previously written article: "Congratulations to Director Chen for becoming the third actor to win the Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival after Gong Li and Xia Yu. He is also the third actor to win the Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival after Zhang Manyu, Gong Li, Xia Yu, and Ge You. After Xiao Fangfang and Liang Chaowei, he is the seventh Chinese actor to have his name in the three major film festivals!"

"I also want to congratulate director Guan Rui and screenwriter Shen Xudong. Because of them, "Outstanding Citizen" was born!"
Chapter completed!
