Chapter 386 Venice ([-])
"Sister Tao" premiered on the 5th, and Qin Hailu made an appointment with Cheng Yu'an in advance.

"When is The Hunt?"

"Tomorrow, Movie Palace."

"Hey! Mark Muller really likes you, and the movie palace will give you the premiere." Qin Hailu laughed.

"It's useless for him to like it, the judges have to like it."

"Why don't you like it? I think the score of "Hunting" is quite high." Qin Hailu said, reading the report from the show brochure, "The youngest best director winner in Venice history, 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 clips released before the screening, the story of "Hunting" hits people's hearts. The judges are fascinated by Cheng Yu'an's recent years While having regrets for the commercial type film, he is also full of expectations for this literary film. The media gave a high score prediction of 7.2 in the pre-screening link, which also expressed the Venice audience's love for Cheng Yu'an. I hope his trip to Venice will be successful. gained."

"I can't tell, Italian audiences like you so much."

"Didn't you read the above, the youngest best director, I was 22 years old at the time, you can't find a second one if you search all over the world." Cheng Yu'an said in awe, "At that time, "Warm, Warm, Containing Light" "Every show is sold out."

"You said you were fat and you were panting." Qin Hailu rolled his eyes, drank tea, Qin Hailu also left, "Remember to come on the 5th."

"Understood, let's go."

"Hunting" is indeed highly anticipated. Until the next day's premiere, Cheng Yu'an has been accepting exclusive interviews from various media.

"Lucas is also a very isolated character," Matthew said in an interview. "Being isolated by others in the film, you hope he will fight for it, but he has actually done the right thing. He consulted everyone. A guy, he goes to his friends for help. The audience always thinks he didn't do anything, but he did all these things, we just forget, because you think he was treated unfairly, I read the script I also felt this way when I read it. I was very disappointed after reading it. I immediately asked Cheng why he didn’t do this. He said you read it again. After I reread it, I found out that he did all these things. Don’t deliberately satisfy the audience’s needs. Instead of superfluous, the script is there, we have to respect the story itself."

"Cheng is a genius director. I believe no one will reject his script. It is a wonderful thing to work with him."

And photographer Roger Deakins "dismantles the stage" and said: "Cheng has a perverted desire to control his films, but at the same time, he can listen to the suggestions of other crew members. He has very strict requirements on lighting. He disagrees with many of my shooting techniques. We quarrel every day, but we can always persuade each other to accept each other's proposals. Working with him is a kind of torture but also a kind of enjoyment. I believe that "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 kind to come back here. The Lido Hotel also kindly gave me the room I stayed in when I first came to Venice in 04."

"It is not sure whether "Hunting" can be introduced." It was said before that it could not be introduced, but recently I got news that if "Hunting" wins an award, the General Administration and China Film Group will consider the issue of introduction.

In fact, Cheng Yu'an knew that even if "Hunting" was released, it would not get a high box office. This kind of tragic literary film has never been popular in China, and it is amazing that it has a box office of 5000 million.

But "Hunting" has been confirmed to be released overseas in November, and it will be an Oscar hit.

On the 2nd, the premiere scene of "The Hunt".

Cheng Yu'an and the main creator of the film crew stood at the gate of the movie palace to welcome the guests.

Including "The Legend of the White Snake", the creators of five Chinese-language films all came to the premiere of Cheng Yu'an.

"Brother Hua." Cheng Yu'an stepped forward to hug Andy Lau, thanking him for coming.

Andy Lau smiled and said, "I'm sorry for not being able to appear in "Source Code."

"It's okay, there is still a chance in the future, my script will always be ready for you." Cheng Yu'an said.

"Then it's settled, remember to look for me when you have a drama in the future." After Liu Dehua succeeded in getting a son, he quickly took on two dramas, one "Cold War", which was just a cameo, and one "Tianji·Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains", which was a favor.

"Director Xu Anhua, hello, hello." Cheng Yuan always felt that Xu Anhua had to be watched for Hong Kong literary films, and she was also a senior Cheng Yuan liked very much.

The crews of "Sister Peach", "Mountain of People", "Death Gold", "Sedek Bale" and "Legend of the White Snake" entered the venue one after another.

Jia Zhangke and his wife Zhao Tao also came to help.

There are also some familiar foreign film crews. The big hits of this year's film festival, "The Killing" and "Faust", as well as George Clooney from "The President's Killing Bureau" also came to the Film Palace to watch "The Hunt". Give Cheng Yu'an enough face.

Standing next to her boyfriend, Liu Yifei felt honored as well. Seeing her man at ease at the gate of the movie palace, she remembered what her mother said to her before leaving:

"A man's face is a woman's. If you don't have a shortlisted work in Venice this time, the audience will definitely say that you are rubbish on the red carpet and Yu'an's popularity. Don't take these words to heart. Venice is his home stadium, mom said something If it doesn’t sound good, you are going to Venice with him this time to play the role of a mascot. You don’t need to have any psychological burden. You think you need to be self-reliant and independent, and you can do well without Yu’an. This kind of self-improvement is of course very good , but you should also understand a truth, he is your lifelong partner, you are one, the momentary gains and losses can not explain any problems. Because in the end you are by his side, that is enough. Mom's marriage in this life It's a failure, and I don't want my tragedy to repeat itself on you."

Thinking of this, Liu Yifei quietly held Cheng Yu'an's hand, Cheng Yu'an turned to her and smiled: "Okay, let's enter."

The crew of "Legend of the White Snake" is sitting in the arena, director Cheng Xiaodong and director of "Death Gold" To Qifeng are exchanging views:

"This young man is very powerful." Du Qifeng commented on Cheng Yu'an, "He can write and shoot anything."

Cheng Xiaodong nodded, agreeing with his words very much: "If it weren't for the fact that there is a company behind him, which distracts him too much time and energy, no director under the age of 40 in the two sides of the Taiwan Strait would be able to shoot him."

To Qifeng smiled: "40 years old? If it weren't for some old guys who don't want to recognize his achievements, I'm afraid he would have won the three gold medals in Chinese. Some old people in the mainland don't like him, but the Golden Horse and the Golden Statue awards are all vying for him .”

Cheng Xiaodong shook his head: "We can't control the Golden Horse, but the Golden Statue Award has been too stingy these past few years. I want to win him, but I don't want to give the award. I only want his sponsorship. If I am him, I won't come." Hong Kong Many young directors on the island can actually see the situation clearly.

Du Qifeng said nothing: "Take your time, the movie has started, let's watch the movie first."
