Chapter 384 Venice (3)
"Sister Tao" premieres on the 5th, Qin Hailu made an appointment with Cheng Yu'an in advance.
“When is The Hunt?”
"Tomorrow, the movie palace."
"Hey! Mark Muller really likes you, so the Cinema Palace will give you a premiere." Qin Hailu said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter if he likes it, the jury has to like it."
"Why don't you like it? I think the score for "Hunting" is pretty high," Qin Hailu said as she read the report from the event program, "The youngest Best Director winner in the history of Venice, Cheng Yu'an from China,
After 7 years, he brought his new work "Hunting" to the water city of Venice. Judging from the synopsis, trailer and trailer released before the screening, the story of "Hunting" is directly touching people's hearts. The judges were fascinated by Cheng Yu'an in recent years.
While having regrets about the commercial genre film, they are also full of expectations for this literary film. The media gave a high score prediction of 7.2 during the pre-screening session, which also expressed the Venice audience's love for Cheng Yu'an. I hope that his trip to Venice will be successful.
What you gain.”
"You can't tell, the Italian audience likes you so much."
"Didn't you read what's written above? I was the youngest Best Director at the time. I was 22 years old at the time. You couldn't find anyone else in the world." Cheng Yu'an said quietly, "At that time, "The Light Within"
》Every show is full.”
"You said you were fat and you were out of breath." Qin Hailu rolled her eyes and drank tea. Qin Hailu also left, "Remember to come on the 5th."
"I know, let's go."
"Hunting" is indeed highly anticipated, and Cheng Yu'an has been receiving exclusive interviews from various media until the premiere the next day.
"Lucas is also a very isolated character," Matthew said in an interview. "When he is isolated by others in the film, you hope that he will fight for it, but he has actually done the right thing. He consulted everyone
A person, he goes to his friends for help. The audience always thinks that he has done nothing, but in fact he has done all these things, but we forget, because you think he has been treated unfairly, I read the script
I felt the same way when I read it. I was very disappointed after reading it. I immediately asked Cheng why he didn't do this. He said read it again. After I reread it, I found out that he had done all these things. Don't deliberately satisfy the audience's needs.
Instead of superfluous, the script is there and we have to respect the story itself."
"Cheng is a talented director. I believe no one will reject his script. It is a wonderful thing to work with him."
Cinematographer Roger Deakins said, "Cheng has a perverted desire to control his own films, but at the same time, he can listen to the suggestions of other crew members. He has very strict lighting requirements.
He disagreed with many of my shooting techniques, and we quarreled every day, but we could always convince each other to accept each other's plans. Working with him was a torture but also a pleasure. I believe "The Hunt" will conquer the audience in Venice.
"
Cheng Yu'an said in an interview with domestic media: "Although I haven't been here for a long time, it feels very friendly to come back here. The Lido Hotel was very considerate and gave me the same room I stayed in when I first came to Venice in 2004."
"It's not yet certain whether "Hunting" can be introduced." It was previously said that it could not be introduced, but recently we got news that if "Hunting" wins an award, the General Administration and China Film will consider the issue of importing it.
In fact, Cheng Yu'an knew that "Hunting" would not get much box office even if it was released. China has never been a big fan of such tragic literary films. It is amazing that it has a box office of 50 million.
But "Hunting" has been confirmed to be released overseas in November to compete for Oscars.
On the 2nd, the premiere of "Hunting".
Cheng Yu'an and the crew stood at the entrance of the film palace to welcome the guests.
Including "The Legend of White Snake", the main creators of five Chinese-language films came to attend Cheng Yu'an's premiere.
"Brother Hua." Cheng Yu'an stepped forward and hugged Liu Dehua, thanking him for coming.
Andy Lau smiled and said: "I'm sorry that I couldn't appear in "Source Code"."
"It's okay, it's okay. There will be opportunities in the future. My script will always be ready for you." Cheng Yu'an said.
"Then we agreed, remember to come to me if you have a movie in the future." After Andy Lau succeeded in having his son, he quickly took on two movies, one was "Cold War", which was just a guest appearance, and the other was "Tianji: Residence in the Fuchun Mountains", which was a return of favor.
"Director Xu Anhua, hello, hello." Cheng Yu'an has always felt that Hong Kong's literary films must rely on Xu Anhua. She is also a senior who Cheng Yu'an likes very much.
The crews of "Sister Peach", "A Crowd of People", "The King", "Sediq Bale" and "The Legend of White Snake" successively entered the venue.
Jia Zhangke and his wife Zhao Tao also came to help.
Then there are some familiar foreign film crews. George Clooney of "The Killing" and "Faust", which are popular at this film festival, as well as "The Hunt", also came to the Cinema Palace to watch "The Hunt". It can be said that
It gave Cheng Yuan enough face.
Liu Yifei stood beside her boyfriend and looked at Yourong. Looking at her man's comfortable appearance at the entrance of the movie palace, she remembered what her mother said to her before setting off:
"A man's face is a woman. If you go to Venice this time and your work is not shortlisted, the audience will definitely say that you are trying to take advantage of the red carpet and Yu'an's popularity. Don't take these words to heart. Venice is his home court, Mom said.
To put it bluntly, you are accompanying him to Venice this time to act as a mascot. Don't have any psychological burden. You feel that you need to be self-reliant and independent. You feel that you can do well without Yu'an. This kind of self-improvement is of course good.
, but you should also understand the truth that he is your lifelong partner, and you are one, and temporary gains and losses cannot explain any problems. Because in the end, you will be by his side, and that is enough. Mom's marriage in this life
It’s a failure, and I don’t want my tragedy to happen again to you.”
Thinking of this, Liu Yifei quietly took Cheng Yu'an's hand. Cheng Yu'an turned to her and smiled: "Okay, let's go in."
The crew of "The Legend of White Snake" is sitting in the venue, and director Cheng Xiaodong and "The Legend of the White Snake" director Du Qifeng are exchanging opinions:
"This young man is very powerful." Du Qifeng commented on Cheng Yu'an, "He can write about anything and shoot anything."
Cheng Xiaodong nodded, agreeing very much with what he said: "If he didn't have a company behind him to support, which diverted so much of his time and energy, I'm afraid no director under the age of 40 from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait would be able to shoot for him."
Du Qifeng smiled: "40 years old? If it weren't for some old guys not wanting to recognize his achievements, I'm afraid he would have won all three Chinese gold medals. Some old people in the mainland don't like him, but the Golden Horse and Academy Awards are fighting for him.
.”
Cheng Xiaodong shook his head: "We can't control the Golden Horse, but the Academy Awards have been too stingy in recent years. I want to win over him, but I'm reluctant to give him the award. I just want his sponsorship. If I were him, I wouldn't come."
Many young directors on the island actually see the situation clearly.
