"Teacher Li Tang, thank you very much for accepting their interview."
"Reporter Meng, I hope you and your weekly magazine will make more beautiful words in their movies."
At the entrance of a teahouse in the Asian Games Village, Li Tang and Meng Jing, a reporter from Sanlian Life Weekly, who came to interview, held their legs and said goodbye.
"Sanlian Life Weekly" is considered a very high-end media in Beijing, and its readers' target group is targeted by intellectuals and middle-class people.
And that group of people just rejected the main contributors of the box office of movies back then.
Entering the 21st century, the box office market of foreign films has become increasingly corrupt. Last year, the total national box office revenue was only 800 million. That is not the basis for the main theme anti-corruption film "Life and Death Choice" to win 120 million.
At the beginning of next year, Brother Cheng Long's "The Mysterious City of Spy" and Hollywood blockbuster "Charlie's Angels" successively won 40 million and 75 million box offices, which once gave the box office market of foreign movies hope, but then no matter whether it is not the May Day Golden Week.
During the summer season, "Operation Sword Fish", "The Legend of Shushan", "The War to the East", including "Rush Hour 2" starring Cheng Long and Zhang Ziyi, all of which encountered Waterloo, and the box office was no more than
Twenty million.
Think about it, compared to a movie ticket that costs more than ten or twenty yuan, it is better to buy a pirated movie DVD for five yuan, so the whole family can watch it together.
To be honest, the pirated copying of film and television cultural products abroad that was wrong that time had reached an unparalleled level. According to rumors, a pirated CD production line worth 50 million was increased to produce at a certain point along the East China Sea coast. Cocoa can recover its investment in one month and make a profit in one year.
Several hundred million are like playing.
In that environment, "The Third Man" has been scheduled to be released in October and November. Originally, "The Third Man" was premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September and April, and the September and August movies were released in September and August.
The festival ended, and then after the media fermentation, it was in the middle of September, with a perfect match between the National Day Golden Week.
But there is no way, whether it is staggered with another movie "The Story of the Escort" starring Li Tang. The third person's "The Third Man" can be postponed later. The more life-seeking period is, October and November are very common.
The Hollywood blockbuster "Mummy 2" will be aired on the same day.
Is the current situation Li Tang has paid more than one million yuan? Currently, "The Third Man" doesn't have much money except for printing some posters. In addition, it's very expensive to go to Venice, so can Li Tang do as much as possible
More interviews will be accepted and more momentum will be created for the movie.
Ye Yi has four Chinese movies shortlisted for this Venice Film Festival. In addition to the Hong Kong movie "Hotels of Hong Kong" which was shortlisted for the main competition unit, the other three movies were shortlisted for the countercurrent and in the unit.
Li Tang, the film "There is a Holy Life in Hong Kong", has been described by Zhou Xun before. It is roughly the same as director Cheng Guo's "Durian Piaopiao". Do they see through the lower class of Hong Kong through the perspective of a fallen woman?
As for whether women who are miserable are from the mainland, and they are all looking for mainland actresses to play, Li Tang thinks that there is a subjective and unintentional one, but it is more realistic. It's like going to the karaoke bar to find a lady, ladies
Most of them come from economically underdeveloped areas.
In addition to "The Third Man", the very ostentatious "Yesterday" and Zhu Wen's "Seafood" are all from mainland China movies.
Zhang Yang and Zhu Wen are also considered old acquaintances of Marco Muller. Zhang Yang was shortlisted for the San Sebastian International Film Festival, Rotterdam International Film Festival, Seattle International Film Festival and many other films for his directing film "Take a Bath" two years ago.
A world-renowned film festival.
Although Zhu Wen is not a newcomer in the field of directorship, he is not a foreign senior screenwriter. "Wushan Yunyu" and "Going Home for the New Year" written by him have won big prizes internationally. Especially if "Going Home for the New Year" won the East
The Silver Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, which is enough to make his new work shortlisted for the new director to encourage new directors to go against the current in the unit.
It is said that it is popular, and that being shortlisted for an influential overseas film festival is similar to looking for a job interview. In addition to his own ability, I must first have something to do with, and then I must be very good at achieving success.
From that point of view, the third person was not only lucky enough to be shortlisted, but also the more concerned about the need for the urge to help him.
In addition, among the four movies shortlisted for this year's Venetian movie, "Is there a Hollywood living in Hong Kong" no Hong Kong movies, foreign media naturally focused on Zhou Xun. Zhou Xun was originally a popular idol, but that time he was shortlisted for
The main competition unit was rejected, and the media hyped that she was expected to be the queen, which made Xiao Zhou very upset.
Not to mention that there are as many as 20 films shortlisted for this film festival's main competition unit, the chances themselves are very small. Moreover, in a world dominated by celebrities, discrimination against people of color will never exist, just the port
In the current social environment, it is hidden in the high-sounding Dog Dong. Unless I perform very well, it will be difficult to win the kind of award that represents personal honors.
In that regard, Xiao Zhou was very sober and responded frequently, and did not expect to win the award of Best Actress this time.
"Seafood" is said to be a black household without a license, and the official reports deliberately avoided the movie. And Yang's "Yesterday" tells the story of "Yesterday" because he was addicted to a big star, and then at home and
The story of a friend's help from Dong Chenggong is also very controversial.
Yu Fuhu's "Third Man" stood out, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional instructed by the relevant departments, and encouraged "normal" movies like "Third Man" to participate in overseas film festivals. In short, Li Tang
During that time, I received interview invitations from many influential and influential media.
Whether to promote the movie, Li Tang would certainly enjoy it, and the cost of the port is quite high.
"How much did you give that time?"
After seeing off reporter Meng and his party, Li Tang turned around and asked Zeng Jia.
"Meng Ji two thousand, photographer one thousand." Zeng Jia said.
The media actively invites interviews in the name of the media, but Li Tang must be sensible. The car fee must be paid, and the unspoken rules outside the industry. It depends on a pen for a reporter to say good or bad, not to mention that if you don’t, you don’t want to promote the movie.
Don't be stingy.
Although I don’t think it’s thousands or thousands every time, I don’t have a lot of expenses when I get too many times, and I don’t want to arrange dinners or something. During that time, I don’t want to go out for more than 100,000 yuan.
"The Third Person" is being screened abroad. In addition to the early promotional expenses, because Naian's company currently does not have the Ziren, which is the film distribution, can be entrusted to be distributed in the film studio. The distribution fee is no longer available.
Small numbers.
Behind the car, Li Tang, who was tired, was inevitably full of resentment. He was reluctant to spend money, but the matter was too cumbersome. But that guy Cheng Er was afraid of the community and stayed in the house.
If he doesn't show up in the film studio, everything is under him. Is Zeng Jiake doing it? Otherwise, he might really give up.
"Jia Jia, I worked hard during that period. I went back to Venice to have a good rest and relax."
"It's okay, brother, he's not tired."
Zeng Jia turned around from the passenger seat and said with a smile.
The relationship between people can often be seen from the name. For example, Li Tang used to call Zeng Jia "Ms. Zeng" at the beginning to "Zeng Jia" and then to "Jia Jia" now, on the one hand, he did not make her mistake.
The recognition of work ability, on the other hand, also shows that the personal relationship between the two is also getting closer.
Zeng Jia's name was also changing little by little. From Mr. Li to Brother Li at the beginning, to now, he missed the word "Li" and called Brother directly. Isn't that the same?
Bu Lu, she had heard and calculated the second half of Li Tang's words. Can you really have a good rest and have fun in Venice? As a person who pursues her career, she definitely wouldn't think so, going overseas to attend a film festival.
Is it a very rare opportunity to study and make connections with Naian?
...
Venice is not unfamiliar with Li Tang. He came there twice in his previous life, so of course he did not neglect during the film festival, because his experience in Cannes told him that the annual film festival is often wrong with a tourist city.
, it is undoubtedly the best time to cut leeks. In the past, the room rate for 50 or 100 euros was at least three or four times higher.
Since there is no direct flight from Beijing to Venice, the group needs to fly to Rome first and then transfer to Marco Polo Airport in Venice. The journey took nearly twenty hours to travel east. It has been August since we arrived in Venice.
In the early morning of twenty-eight.
"Sister An, I'm suffering."
Naian had already arrived in Europe a week in advance. On the one hand, it represented Lou Ye and French film dealers to negotiate investment in new films. On the other hand, it was certain that he would be one of the producers of "The Third Man" and give everyone a try.
stand.
"Why are you polite to me!"
After giving birth, Naan was a little rich, but he still looked decisive. For example, he prepared a business bus similar to Iveco, which was enough to accommodate seven people and ten large suitcases.
There was no way, Xiaopang alone brought three large boxes, containing three customized evening dresses and a dark green cheongsam representing Chinese elements.
The fat little fat man is tall and has a red skin. He wears the dark green short-sleeved cheongsam tailored for her by Master Zaihai, and paired with a retro wavy curly hair. It looks very charming and attractive. But Li Tang always feels that the image is familiar.
It looks like a certain film and television image I saw in my previous life, so I didn’t remember it for a moment.
If Venice is not open to traffic, it is necessary to change the boat when the car drives to the Roman Forum. Fortunately, the square has a reception station with the organizer. I ask for an invitation letter to be reported for the shortlisted movie. The staff will contact the boat and escort it all the way.
The hotel officially arranged for the crew.
"Small and broken, it feels like a foreign guesthouse."
Xiaopang walked into the room and looked around, saying with disgust.
The whole city of Venice is concerned with the so-called heavy sense of history. Even if the island is in the best hotel, it is not a product of centuries ago. Even if there is no such room, Li Tang just paid attention to one of the front desks, and there were actually three.
One hundred dollars a morning. Is it possible that the seven of them will be provided by the organizer? Otherwise, the entire film festival will last for nearly half a month, and the room fee alone will be more than 100,000 yuan.
