At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 249 Honor (44)

To be honest, the feeling of this Venice movie is a capitalized chaos!

Domestic media reports are also all about 'major mistakes have been criticized', 'the film festival organization is chaotic, stars go crazy, Venice suffers a "disaster day"'

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

Not only Harvey, but other filmmakers also complained: "The organization is really terrible, there are not enough people, and no one answers the call to the office."

Film marketers also felt that the organization of the festival this year was worse than in any previous year: "All the films are late, the event is overcrowded, there is no break between two screenings, this arrangement is very amateurish! "

The Italian media did not hesitate to criticize the organizational loopholes of the film festival with a lot of space.

By the way, Harvey bought out the global distribution rights of "Outstanding Citizen" for $400 million...

He also promised to help hit the Oscars...

Shen Xudong didn't say a word. Although he felt that the possibility of winning the Oscar was a lie, he really paid $400 million...

real money...

The contract signed directly, the money is given!

By the way, Shen Xudong was also invited to be the screenwriter of the American version of "Outstanding Citizen", which was also paid directly, an advance payment of 5 US dollars...

Why is Harvey so generous?

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

Indeed, Disney bought Miramax — the company paid the Harvey Weinstein brothers $1.3 million, and Disney got the rights to the name "Miramax" and over 800 Miramax films inventory.

Harvey is rich now.

Of course, the most important thing is that the play "Outstanding Citizen" is interesting, and his series of plans can be perfectly used. After Venice, he plans to take "Outstanding Citizen" to the Toronto Film Festival. Ben...

Afterwards, it will be released, and that will be pure profit!

If it's like "The Promise", it's really hard to work...

"The Promise", Harvey watched the trailer, and then bought the North American distribution rights at a price of 2000 million U.S. dollars. He paid 50 U.S. dollars in advance. After seeing the finished film, he immediately regretted it. , and then China Film made a connection, and "The Promise" asked Warner to release it independently...

Released in 208 theaters for 20 days, the final box office was 66.9 US dollars...

Too stretched!

I personally feel that Harvey still attaches great importance to Chinese-language films. In the early years, the first Chinese-language film he released was "Ju Dou" by Zhang Yimou. "Ju Dou" brought a box office of 198 million US dollars. Max also released films from Hong Kong such as "Double Dragon Club", "Swordsman 2: Invincible in the East", "Chongqing Forest" and other films.

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

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

Is it because "The Promise" is too bad——Chen Kexin's original words: The whole world sells very badly, except the mainland...

Ahem...

But in any case, no matter how chaotic, the Venice Film Festival is always the Venice Film Festival, and the weight and status of the three major European countries are here!

Therefore, it is understandable to be 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 Mr. Hayao Miyazaki won!

Shen Xudong is definitely out of play...

There is 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 low-level actors...

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

On the stage, Chen Daoming gave his acceptance speech: "Although I am a literary and artistic worker, as an actor, I don't have many opportunities to express my views and opinions. We are usually completing the work assigned by the author and the director. instruction.

Now that I have won this award, I can finally say that I am also a literary and artistic worker, and I can say that I can't say it openly!In the future, I will choose some content and characters that I can talk to the society.Because I think in this life, you can't just please others, as an actor, you should also please yourself once in a while! "

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

Chen Daoming clasped his hands together and bowed...

All kinds of applause from the audience!

It's hard to say that I am sincerely convinced, but this passage is really beautiful.

Guan Hu also stood up and applauded, but there was a trace of loneliness hidden in his eyes - after winning the actor award, it is basically certain that he will miss the Golden Lion award!

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

Wang Qingqiang applauded while secretly regretting—Made, the price is so cheap!

After winning the best actor award, at least it can sell for 500 million US dollars!

Art films are usually not about making money, but are still market-oriented, why do these people go to film festivals?

In addition to winning awards, the most important thing is to promote my work through the platform of the film festival, so as to attract more buyers...

——Several major international film festivals in Europe have in fact become the third world countries’ films “going to the world”—to be precise, they are the only channel to go to the European and American world. A narrow door through which success pours in.

As the publisher, Wang Qingqiang got a commission, and he earned at least 10 US dollars less!

Cao Xiwen was in a daze 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. After two weeks of filming, she left, and then she was selected as the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival, and she followed the red carpet...

Now, he actually won an award!

……

Sina Entertainment, NetEase News, including Sohu News, sent the news back to China as soon as possible...

The paper media should be slower, after all, typesetting and printing are required, and the photo of Chen Daoming holding the silver lion trophy directly on the Internet portal website was published on the homepage!

how to say…

Glory to the country...

Shen Xudong chatted with Chen Kexin before, and mentioned the 01 Olympic bid, he said he didn't understand, 'The dignity of a country depends on whether the Olympic bid is successful or not, this thing is too ridiculous! '

It's a pity that Chen Kexin is from Thailand. He estimates that he can successfully distinguish 97 genders, and he can understand that the US beauty pageant champion is a fat and strong ladyboy...

But he doesn't understand China, doesn't understand Chinese people...

After all, the front pages of major portal websites are "Chen Daoming proclaims emperor in Shuicheng", ""Outstanding Citizen" won best actor, Chen Daoming crowned actor"...

Sina directly published the previously written manuscript: "Congratulations to Chen Daoming for becoming the third actor to win the Venice Film Festival Actor Award after Gong Li and Xia Yu, and also after Zhang Manyu, Gong Li, Xia Yu, Ge You, After Xiao Fangfang and Liang Chaowei, the seventh Chinese-speaking actor who has left his name in the three major film festivals!"

"I also want to congratulate director Guan Hu and screenwriter Shen Xudong, because of them, "Outstanding Citizen" was born!"
