The screen went dark and the lights were on, and the audience stood up and applauded politely. After all, it was the premiere of "The Sun", which was very popular before. In addition to the audience, there were many guests on the scene, such as the chairman of the jury, the last session.
The Golden Lion Award winner, Chief Jia, is certainly also known as Marco Muller, who is known as the "favorite Chinese movies" and so on.
Tong Yali, who was standing up and applauding, whispered: "What is this movie about? Why don't I understand it at all!"
"Me too, it seems like a very simple story, what makes people confused?" Chen Zhixi also said.
"Shh, whisper, it's bad for people to hear it." He Xin hurriedly said.
"What's the matter? Foreigners can't understand Chinese."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. If you don't understand, ask our director Diao when you go back. Don't talk nonsense when you attend the cocktail party later."
In fact, He Xin also had a little understanding of it. He had never seen this movie in his previous life, so he had great expectations. After all, he had watched "Sunny Days" and "The Devils Are Coming", including the director Lu Cheng in the name.
After "Looking for Gun", he was greatly shocked by Jiang Wen's imaginative imagination and expression techniques. When he thought about "Let the Bullets Fly" he had watched in his previous life, he had to admit that Jiang Wen was able to be a "genius director"
This title.
But after watching "The Sun" today, this "genius director" created a huge question mark in his mind. The reason why he read it was just a little bit because "The Sun" actually tells a very simple story, summarizing
It's like: Jaycee Chan and Jiang Wen's wife Kong Wei were killed in an affair; Jiang Wen and Anthony Wong taught at the Beijing University; Jiang Wen and Cheng Chong had a wife who had an affair and were caught by Anthony Wong; Cheng Chong framed Anthony Wong, but Jiang Wen
Instead of standing up, he was also in trouble. In the end, Anthony Wong hanged himself; Jiang Wen and his wife Kong Wei were sent to Jaycee Chan's village...
What is told over and over again is a story about affair. Jiang Wen and Cheng Chong have an affair, and Jaycee Chan stole his wife. The movie is actually very beautiful, with bright colors, moving music, and quick camera jumps.
It makes people amazed.
Especially Jiang Wen's ability to express blue color, there is no exposed shot in the whole film. Just by expressing Cheng Chong and Kong Wei's body, expression and breathing, the sexy under the suppression of the times brings deep shock to the audience.
.
"This technique is very oriental, but it conveys a very Western consciousness." European film critics commented.
Translated: It's very smoky!
But all of this makes people feel very deliberate.
Jiang Wen may be too tired of the so-called "wizards", "ghosts", and even "masters". It is obviously a very simple story that must be filmed in a weird and ambiguous way, inexplicably, and has a very "style", which makes people
The more you look at it, the less true you feel.
I also understood the story after watching the entire movie, but I just didn’t understand what Jiang Wen wanted to express through this movie. As Chen Zhixi said, a very simple story, how can it make people confused?
Of course, He Xin would not maliciously speculate that Jiang Wen was just to show off, claiming to be Yangchun Baixue, and deliberately separating himself from Xialibaren to show that he is the most awesome director in China. He just felt that Jiang Wen was a bit too self-expressive and too letting himself go.
Finally, this movie was filmed that most people probably can't understand.
Although everyone stood up and applauded after the movie, it was all courteous, and it was definitely not as enthusiastic and sincere as in "Lust and Caution".
The premiere effect was average, so after the movie ended, most of the main creators asked questions on stage were domestic reporters, and there were only foreigners. However, compared to the low-key "Lust and Caution", the wealthy "Sun" crew also held a show after the premiere.
A grand reception.
It's funny that a large number of media reporters flocked to the reception, and the guests gathered around the table to eat, drink and chat, while the reporters stood in a row with guns. The scene of celebrities eating is second to the scene, the key is to wait for the celebrities to discover.
With the existence of the camera, you will have the opportunity to make an appointment to chat. And the cocktail party is not a press conference, and a group photo and autograph are allowed.
He Xin and his party have been very low-key since they came to Venice. So when the reporter found out, they frequently took the camera to take them over.
"Director, has the filming of "Red Cliff" finished?"
He Xin and Lu Yue were crowded together. Speaking of low-key, Lu Yue was even lower-key than him. He could not even see the news about "Novels" shortlisted in the Horizon Unit on domestic online media, and the male and female protagonists in the film Wang Zhiwen and Wang
Tong didn't come, he was the only one, almost like Diao Yinan, who hangs in the movie palace to watch movies every day.
"I've quit early, don't you know?" Lu Yue said in a little surprised.
"Uh, I really don't know, what's going on?" He Xin said in surprise.
Speaking of which, as the most invested movie in China in history, "Red Cliff" has been in constant turmoil since it started filming in April. First, Zhou Runfa broke the contract in the middle, and Zhou Yu had to find Liang Chaowei again. The figures of the two within were huge.
Sets, clothing, etc. have to be redesigned and produced; then the concepts of martial arts directors and directors are not in line with each other, and they have to be replaced by Yuan Kui in the middle of the journey; then due to environmental protection issues, the location has to be moved from the Yangtze River in Hubei to Hebei.
Aerial photography of a helicopter crashes, a fire burned a staff member, etc., accidents occur one after another.
Lu Yue smiled slightly and said calmly: "It's nothing. The director's level is high. I may not be able to keep up. I am very keen!"
The two have worked together, and Lu Yue has always been a very gentle person in He Xin's mind and never speaks anything. But today he said this to this point, and obviously he has a lot of differences with Wu Yusen.
On the set, directors, photographers and art designs should be said to be the most important behind-the-scenes creators. The director's intention is to achieve it through these two people. No matter who has a disagreement with the director, he will definitely not be able to continue shooting.
He Xin didn't intend to inquire about the specific differences between Lu Yue and Wu Yusen, but he could force an honest person like Lu Yue to be impatient, which also reduced his impression of Wu Yusen to a higher level.
"So, now Uncle Li is the only one left to work?"
"Yes, he knows how to adapt than me!" Lu Yue shook his head and sighed with emotion.
The implication is that his views and Uncle Li are consistent, but they are different from the director's philosophy. However, Uncle Li chose to stay, and he chose to leave.
"I heard you took him a TV series?" Lu Yue continued.
"Yes, it has not been finalized yet, but this drama is really good, and I really like the characters in it." He Xin said and introduced the general situation of the drama "The Right Way on Earth is Vicissitudes" to him.
.
"Old Zhang is still very reliable for this guy, to shoot a TV series." Lu Yue nodded and smiled.
Why is the status of a movie star higher than that of a TV star? In addition to the different artistic expression methods, the biggest difference is often the director's level.
The film director's level is higher than that of the TV drama director, which is an indisputable fact. Uncle Li failed several movies, but every part he took on to the small screen was all high-quality.
"Lu Yue!"
The two were chatting, and the national magistrate came over to say hello. It seemed that the national magistrate was about to withdraw.
"One plan!"
Lu Yue stood up and shook hands with the national teacher.
These two are old classmates from the 1978th class of Beijing Film Academy. Speaking of which, their 1978th class of photography has produced many photographers and excellent directors, and the national teacher is undoubtedly the most successful one.
The Directors of Beijing Television have always claimed to be the best son of heaven, among which Director Chen Da and Lu Chuan are the most typical. They have always been very disdainful of directors who came from a wild path, just like Chen Da and Chen Da after the National Master won the Golden Bear Award.
The director also said sourly: I am just a photographer!
Of course, after all, the national teacher won more international awards than other Chinese directors combined, so naturally no one called him a photographer anymore. Moreover, in the circle, the name of director XX is called a certain director, even Chen Da
Directors are no exception, but the national teacher is the director.
Therefore, compared with those beautiful boys from the director department, directors from the wild path are more likely to join in groups. For example, as one of the leading figures of the sixth generation of directors, even if Chief Jia won the Golden Lion Award, he was in Wang Xiaoshuai and Zhang Yuan.
In the eyes of others, he still thinks that his skills are very poor.
Look, Diao Yinan got into a hot relationship with Chief Jia when he arrived at the cocktail party. One of them was from the Department of Beijing Film Academy and the other was from the Department of Chinese Opera and Chinese Opera. They had the same professional background. Chief Jia debuted early, while Diao Yinan debuted late.
And the two have a common friend Yu Liwei, so they are both killed.
Just like the greetings between the national master and Lu Yue at this time, everyone had a smile on their faces without any dislike.
"Little Congratulations!"
The national teacher then greeted He Xin enthusiastically.
"Hello, director!" He Xin said immediately.
The national master shook hands with him and hesitated for a moment, then whispered to him: "Your movie is very good!"
After saying that, before he could react, he let go of his hand and greeted him: "Eat slowly, I'll say goodbye first."
Then he waved to the reporters who were surrounding him and left the field early with great strides.
When the national teacher retreated, a sharp-eyed reporter immediately asked him: "He Xin, what did Director Zhang tell you just now? Can you disclose it?"
