On September 6, the 65th Venice Film Festival ended.
Compared with the five Chinese films shortlisted for the main competition unit of the last year, "Lust and Caution" won the Golden Lion and "Double Donkey" won the jury award. This year's film festival has not even been shortlisted for a Chinese film, only
Independent documentary director Wang Wenhai's documentary "We" won the special mention award for the Horizon Unit.
Wang Xiaoshuai was a little regretful about this. If he had known this, "The Heart of Ten Thousand Arrows" should have signed up for the Venice Film Festival. At least it would not be a problem to nominate the main competition unit.
However, He Xin’s previous proposal is not unreasonable. The English translation of "Ten Thousand Arrows Piercing the Heart" is called "Feng Shui". How can foreigners understand this? Only in the East Asian cultural circle can everyone understand what Feng Shui means. After all, award evaluation is one aspect
, on the other hand, you have to sell the movies.
"Tang Wei terminated the contract with the company."
When Sister Hong told He Xin about this news, he was not surprised. After all, Tang Wei’s so-called ban was not written. In a sense, this is life expectancy and there is no possibility of rehabilitation. It is of any significance to stay in the brokerage company in this way.
No, sooner or later, the contract will be terminated.
At least that's what he understands now, although he knew in his previous life that Tang Wei would eventually come back and become International Tang.
Sister Hong was also helpless. She finally gave birth to "Zhang Ziyi's second place", but she was banned, which was also a big blow to Hai Runqianyi.
"Boss Jiang from Hong Kong is willing to sign her, and will find a way to help her get a Hong Kong identity. Speaking of which, this is also a way out! Otherwise, if she, a girl, would have to work and have a meal in the future when she encounters such a thing? Alas,
What a pity." Sister Hong sighed long and said with regret.
As the saying goes, people are famous for their own reasons and are full of trouble. Tang Wei is a typical example. He suddenly becomes popular, and then he is unwilling to give and is jealous, so he deserves to be banned.
He Xin finally understood why Tang Wei was able to make a comeback later, and it turned out that he was like a handsome boy.
After sighing, Sister Hong said, "Oh, are you okay at noon? I have an appointment with Mr. Qin from Xingmei to have dinner together, let's go together?"
"I'll forget it at noon. Haozi just came back from the northwest and made an appointment to meet at noon."
"That's OK..."
Sister Hong nodded, but then said suspiciously: "A Xin, you won't have any opinions about Mr. Qin, right?"
Xingmei can currently be regarded as one of the largest private film companies in China. They not only invest in movies but also operate theaters. The China Film Star Film Cinema, which cooperates with China Film, is currently the largest cross-provincial theater chain in the country.
Sister Hong and Xingmei have a good relationship. Many actors under Sister Hong are seen in film and television works dominated by Xingmei. In fact, He Xin has a lot of interactions with this company, such as Wang Xiaoshuai's "Qinghong" before.
》, Teacher Yu's "Love Again" was invested by this company.
But what, how to say it?
On the one hand, the boss of this company may have started a nightclub, but in his impression, those who run nightclubs seem to be not a good person; on the other hand, it is because when filming "Qinghong", he had many unpleasant experiences.
.
Although it is indeed Wang Xiaoshuai's problem when doing business, Xingmei, as an investment score, has some of its practices too cold-blooded; and later "Qinghong" was shortlisted for Cannes, such a large company actually made it possible for Teacher Yao Anlian, who has the most roles in the film, to pay for it at his own expense.
The reason for going there was Yao Anlian's reputation was not enough.
Although these do not involve He Xin, his impression of this company has become very poor.
However, when he saw Sister Hong ask, he still smiled and said, "How is that possible? He is the big boss. What qualifications do I have to have an objection to him?"
Sister Hong glanced at him deeply and said, "It's good that you know. It's better not to offend others if you can't offend others in the circle. Xingmei is holding the theater chain in her hand!"
"Uh, I understand, but I really don't have time today." He Xin could only smile bitterly.
He understood what Sister Hong meant. In addition to the relevant departments that hold approval power, there is another one that cannot be afforded to offend the theater chain. If you want to go to your movies, others will not schedule films for you, and you will have no choice.
Now, Zhang Weiping, a strange guy, relies on holding the national teacher in his hand to challenge the theaters and bargain for the box office share. Although he had seen a lot of negative news about Zhang Weiping on the Internet in his previous life, he said that he had followed him several times.
As a film company, everyone makes profits from the result of theater negotiations.
"It's not that this time, even if you don't like others in your heart, at least you have to be able to live a good life in the scene." Sister Hong still persuaded her again with great thought.
"I understand, Sister Hong, thank you!"
He Xin knew that Sister Hong was doing it for her own good. Perhaps this was his personality flaw. As long as he became disgusted with someone, he would not be willing to deal with that person, and he could not even do it perfunctorily.
He came out of Hongjie's company, followed the North Third Ring Road and headed west, passed the gate of Beijing Film Studio, turned right and turned into Huangtingzi Street, which junction of Beijing Film Studio and Beijing Film Studio, and walked about two hundred meters ahead.
, and stopped at the entrance of a restaurant called Hongshu.
"I said why did you make an appointment here? It turns out that you are all here!"
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Ning Hao, the screenwriter of "Crazy Racing", Cui Saiwei, and Bo Ge, who were sitting at a table by the window, were all drunk.
Cui Saiwei is a classmate of Ning Hao Beijing Film Academy. Since he was in school, he has been filming commercials with Ning Hao, MVs, including later "Incense", "Green Grass" and "Stone", and is considered Ning Hao's old partner.
He is very literary. The book of "Racing" was collected by him, Ning Hao and the others, Yue Xiaojun and others.
As for Brother Bo, he had been in Beijing Electronics for two years and went to college. He was a classmate of Liu Tianxian, who is currently very popular. However, it is said that he had not seen him seriously in school twice in two years.
They are basically filming outside.
In fact, strictly speaking, Ning Hao, Cui Saiwei and Huang Bo are considered to be in the same class, and they both graduated in 2003.
"Hey, Brother Bo, hasn't "Iron Man" started filming? When will you report to the crew?" He Xin sat down next to Huang Bo and asked casually.
"It's early, I don't have many interior scenes, and it will take a while to join the group." Brother Bo grinned and said.
After Director Yin Li completed "Yun Shui Ballad", he continued to prepare for this main theme movie that describes the story of two generations of "Iron Man". In this film, Bo Ge mixed up with a male third character and played the role of the modern Iron Man Liu Ye's friend.
In history, Wu Gang played the role of Iron Man.
He Xin picked up a glass of beer that Brother Bo had just poured him toast to everyone, and then asked, "How is it? Is it a good thing to go to the northwest this time?"
"It's really rewarding. The notebook is almost done." Ning Hao nodded with his unique silly smile, but it's not difficult to see that this guy is proud at this moment.
"When will you start doing it?"
Because the preparations for "The Wind" are currently facing great overspending, he is really worried that the company's funds are insufficient.
"There is no hurry to do this, as soon as next spring will be the beginning of next year. You can't take pictures there in winter, it's too cold."
As he said that, this guy smiled at Huang Bonu and said, "And Brother Bo will be able to be free at that time."
"Hey, I must say this, it makes me look like a big star, and I am not up to date." Brother Bo said hurriedly with a embarrassed look.
Although he became popular in "Stone", except for "Bullfighting" and "Racing", which have not been released, he has received basically supporting roles.
"Brother Bo, at most I guarantee you to be a big star!" He Xin patted his shoulder and smiled.
Ning Hao returned early this time from the Northwest, mainly because "Racing" is scheduled to be released on September 30th, and the current publicity work has begun. Moreover, this year's National Day holiday competition is relatively fierce, "Racing" and "Racing" are both scheduled to be released on September 30th.
"Painted Skin" released on the 26th of the month is only four days apart.
"Axin, I'm sure I'm sure after hearing what you said. Come on, I'll give you a cup, I'll do it, you can do it." Brother Bo said happily.
As he said that, he deliberately lowered his cup when he picked up the cup and clinked it.
I have known Bo Ge for three or four years. He Xin has now known how Bo Ge, who is known as a high emotional intelligence in his later generations, was nothing more than being low-key and speaking nicely.
"You are quite confident. I'm still feeling ups and downs!" Ning Hao said with some worries.
The movie in "Racing" takes up a lot of the money. To put it bluntly, this movie is Ning Hao's claim to the third master, so this guy is under a lot of pressure.
"According to the situation this year, the domestic film market is clearly recovering. Think about it, bad movies like "Nine-Nine Beauty" can sell for more than 50 million. Are you not even as good as that fat man Yue?"
"Fatty Yue?"
"Oh, it's that Wang Yuelun, who accidentally said he was bald. He is still Brother Chu. Is it so unconfident that you, the genius director, are you so unconfident?"
Ning Hao was a little embarrassed by what he said, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, the competition is fierce this time."
In addition to "Painted Skin" starring Zhou Xun, Chen Kun and Zhao Yanzi, this year's National Day holiday, there is also a co-production "Keep Call" directed by Chen Musheng, starring Gutian Le, Liu Ye and Da S.
The day before "Painted Skin" was released. On October 9th, after October Golden Week, the Hollywood blockbuster "Wanted Order" starring Angelina Jolie will also be launched in the mainland Chinese market. Compared to when "Stone" was released the year before last year, the year before
The competition is much more intense.
"It's okay, I'm in you anyway, to Brother Bo, of course the most important thing is to have absolutely confidence in the movie "Racing"!"
He Xin said, picking up the cup and saying, "Okay, don't worry about gains and losses. If you have this time, work hard during the roadshow. Come on, drink!"
