Chapter 451 New Movie
Last day of June.

Venice Film Festival officially announced this year's list.

If, as Mark Mueller said: "The new chairman seems to have a different philosophy from mine."

In the first year Alberto Barbara took over, he began to de-sinicize. This year's main competition unit did not have a single Chinese-language film shortlisted.

The cyberpunk martial arts film "Tai Chi: From Zero" directed by Hong Kong director Lun and Hua Yi's bet was shortlisted; Mainland director Li Ruijun's "Tell Them, I'm Going by White Crane" and Wang Bing's "Three Sisters" were shortlisted Horizon unit; Bay Island director Cai Mingliang directed "Diamond Sutra" as the closing film of the Horizon short film unit.

This kind of nomination disappoints Chinese filmmakers. Originally, the Venice Film Festival has not received much attention in the past two years. The lack of Chinese films this year makes the industry even more unhappy.

But fortunately, Cheng Yu'an became one of the judges of the main competition unit, which can be regarded as a little face saved by Barbara for Chinese-language films.

Regarding Cheng Yuan's election, the organizing committee of the film festival introduced it as follows:

"He is one of the leading young directors in Asia and even the world. He is so young, but he has such a deep understanding of movies. His movies always explore the purest emotions in the hearts of characters, impulsive, lonely, dazed, and passionate. The characters under his lens always make people think."

But the country does not buy this explanation:
"It's really because Cheng Yu'an's performance is too eye-catching. Even if Barbara wants to go to China, he can't ignore Cheng Yu'an's performance as a direct descendant of Venice in the past two years."

"If Cheng Yu'an is not a judge this year, the attention of Venice in China may drop to a historical freezing point."

"However, the attention Cheng Yu'an brought to the film festival as a judge is still far less than that of Chinese-language films that were shortlisted for the main competition."

But in fact, the entertainment headlines are not Cheng Yu'an's selection as a jury member of the Venice Film Festival, but the exposure of Zhang Ziyi and Xiao Sa's love affair.

A reporter photographed Xiao Sa flying thousands of miles to Guangdong Province to visit Zhang Ziyi who was filming "The Grandmaster". The two behaved intimately and played together.

Some netizens broke the news that the two have been dating secretly since September last year.

Zhang Ziyi has had a lot of bad luck in the past two years.

After returning from Hollywood and developing in China, the box office is still there. "House of Flying Daggers" and "The Banquet" are both good at the box office, but their reputation is not very good, and they have never won a decent award.

There was also an unpleasant quarrel with "good girlfriend" Deng Wendi, and the other party no longer introduced Hollywood resources to her.

I want to get closer to Cheng Yu'an, but Cheng Yu'an doesn't pay much attention to her.

He actually "fooled" her with a TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Now that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" has exploded, she regrets it a little.

If you want to go behind-the-scenes and become a producer, "Perfect" rushed to grandma's house.

The director and screenwriter Jin Yimeng was also included.

It's quite fun to talk about it, "Perfect" is Zhang Ziyi's first film to be produced, and Fan Xiaopang was involved in it.

But the two were born with a disagreement, and Fan Xiaopang and Zhang Ziyi were torn apart.In the end, Zhang Ziyi, the producer, directly kicked Fan Xiaopang out of the promotion of the film, but the Korean promotion did not let her go, and there was not even her shadow on the Korean version of the poster.

"Perfect" was thrown away.

Fan Xiaopang took revenge again this year, bringing in the director of "Perfect" Jin Yimeng, and following the path of "Perfect", he is planning to shoot "One Night Surprise".

Zhang's personal style evaluation has also dropped to the lowest point since her debut, not to mention the N heavy door incident, this year it was reported that she was "investigated and banned from leaving the country".

Now point to "The Grandmaster" to make a comeback.

We might as well open a God's perspective, if there is no "The Great Master", Zhang Ziyi might really be confused.

"The Grandmaster" directly won her the second three gold actresses in the Chinese film industry, and she was directly pulled to the top.

…………

By August, the cinema gradually became lively.

The first one is "Le Fantian" directed by Wang Yuelun, starring Ning Jing and Jiang Wu.

Glossy release, one-day trip to theaters, no box office evidence.

What is a line!

Maybe Yuelun will switch to playing games after filming this film.

But promise me, don't choose Jie!

In August, something ridiculous happened.

China Film released "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" and "The Amazing Spider-Man" on the same day.

Then "Prometheus" will be on September 9, and "The Expendables 2" will be on September 4.

Four Hollywood blockbusters will be released together within 10 days.

Disgusting fucking opens the door for disgusting, disgusting is home.

Cheng Yu'an wanted to laugh, wanted to laugh!
This is probably the characteristic of the country.

As a result, the two crews of "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" and "The Amazing Spider-Man" are reluctant to come to the mainland for promotion.

This sort of filming is really unfair.

Not to mention cheating Hollywood film studios, it is also extremely detrimental to domestic theaters.

It is the first time in the global market that such a centralized arrangement of Hollywood blockbusters will cause them internal friction. This has made foreign media very dissatisfied and criticized the Chinese market for not being open.

Even theaters are opposed to such arrangement.

However, this has no effect on Long-range, which has two films to be released in August.

A small-budget comedy "The Second Generation of Rich" directed by Guo Fan, Guo Jingfei and Jin Chen, will be released on the 8th - sniping "The Disappearing Bullet", Chen Zhixi didn't like LeTV, so he committed suicide.

On the 17th, "Front and Cloud", starring Sun Honglei and Yang Xue.The reason why the two films were released so close was that Yuan Yuan didn't expect "Frontier Frontier" to sell much box office at all.

The structure of this film is very novel, and the degree of completion is not bad, but this crime movie does not attract the audience at all.

First Saturday in August.

Some netizens exposed a photo of the lease agreement on Weibo.

From the studio of Qingying Studio.

The photos show that the long-lost studio of Qingying Studio welcomes its long-lost guest—remote film and television.

The rental photos show that a film called "Old Father" rented the studio for the November-December period.

And the director of this movie is Cheng Yu'an!
"Cheng Yu'an's new film is exposed!"

The media immediately followed up: "A few days ago, a screenshot of the studio filing was exposed. From the information on the picture, it can be seen that the new film directed by Cheng Yu'an is called "Old Father", and the new film may aim at family ethics."

The reporter went to the remote and got the confirmation message:
"The exposure map shows that it is indeed Director Cheng's new film. The film is still in the preparation stage, and it is inconvenient to disclose more information."

And our client, director Cheng Yuan, drove to Shanghai Drama Art Center, and was recommended by Xu Shanzheng to visit the master of Chinese drama, Mr. Jiao Huang.

Teacher Jiao is 76 and has retired long ago, but she still does some rehearsal and teaching work in the theater, and basically does not accept film and television.

The old man is in good health, but his legs and feet are not very convenient.

When Cheng Yu'an and Xu Shan were vying to come to the door, the old man was sitting on a rattan chair at home listening to an opera.

"Mr. Jiao, hello." Cheng Yu'an respected the senior in front of him.

Jiao Huang may not know Cheng Yu'an, Xu Shanzheng introduced to the old man as a middleman: "Mr. Jiao, we Yu'an would like to invite you to play a play."

Jiao Huang doesn't think he is a figure in the film and television industry, and he is even more opposed to others putting him in the entertainment circle.

He said that he is from the theater world, he is a dramatist, and acting in film and television dramas is a cameo.

The innocence of old-school artists.

"I've heard of you." Jiao Huang actually heard Cheng Yu'an's name, "It was you who won the Oscar."

Cheng Yu'an chuckled: "My grades can't compare with yours."

　Guess what the new movie is called.
