Chapter 82 Venice Premiere

"Eraser" is coming to an end, with excellent results, but some people are not good.

Lu Chuan, Cheng Yu'an's direct senior brother!

In the past two years, he has often been compared with Cheng Yu'an, and his debut in "Looking for a Gun" shocked everyone with his skills.

But everyone in the industry knows that this movie is made by Mazi, and the fact that Lu Chuan called the Wang brothers to cry is still a joke among insiders.

But the sole director of "Looking for the Gun" is still his name after all, and Lu Chuan has also gained a lot of fame and praise because of this movie.

what?Half a father is not a father?

With a sigh of relief in his heart, Lu Chuan worked out "Kekexil", which will be released on October 10.1!

He hates being told that "Looking for a Gun" is not his work, and he hates being compared with Cheng Yu'an.

Cheng Yu'an's three films have a box office of 1.5 million.

1.5 billion!
This number deeply hurt Lu Chuan's heart. He and Cheng Yu'an had no intersection, but they debuted almost at the same time.

"Looking for a Gun" was released in May 2002, and "Sniper Phone Booth" was released the following year.

They are both from Nortel, so it is inevitable that they will be compared.

So Lu Chuan secretly vowed to prove himself in "Kekexili".

"It's just being shortlisted for Venice. Who hasn't been there?" Lu Chuan looked at the news on the Internet with a calm mood.

"Looking for a Gun" was also shortlisted.

Back to Venice.

After the opening ceremony on September 9, the films will be screened in various theaters in Venice.

"Warm and Containing Light" was arranged on the 3rd, Cheng Yu'an was not in a hurry, and even took a leisurely stroll in the city of Venice.

The festival's biggest hits are Mike Lee's "Vera Drake" and Alessandro Amamba's "The Deep".

The themes of the two films are very similar, both are about the struggle and struggle of life.

Very artistic, very in line with the usual taste of Venice.

The two films also fought hard in the show catalogue.

The program of the Venice Film Festival was announced on the second day, and "Deep Sea" took the lead all the way, ranking first with a high score of 3.75, and "Vera Drake" was closely behind, with a score of 3.72.
Cheng Yu'an has watched both films, and they are indeed masterpieces.

Especially Imelda Staunton, the heroine of "Vera Drake". At the age of 50, she has reached a mature performance. According to Cheng Yu'an's opinion, this year's actress should be her.

This year is considered to be a small year for Venice. There are not many participating films, and there are not many actresses who can compete with Imelda Staunton.

At this time, Mr. Zhou was almost meaningless.

Mr. Zhou also went to watch "Vera Drake". Although he couldn't understand what they were talking about, Mr. Zhou was convinced just by watching Imelda's performance.

"It's not unfair to lose to such an actor." Mr. Zhou smiled, not caring about it at all.

Come to the [-]rd, the premiere of "Warm and Containing Light"!
Cheng Yu'an specially invited Chief Jia's "The World" crew to attend his premiere.

The two have little contact in the country, but since they went to Venice together, they should unite with each other.

"The World" is a project of Shanghai Film Group, and this visit to Venice was also led by Shanghai Film Group's vice president.

"Mr. Xu, long time no see." Cheng Yu'an naturally recognized Xu Pengle, vice president of Shanghai Film Group.

"Director Cheng, don't come here unharmed." Xu Pengle was equally polite to Cheng Yu'an.

Shanghai Film has made a lot of money from "The Butterfly Effect". Among the three remote films this year, Shanghai Film has won "The Eraser in My Brain", and the results are gratifying so far.

Xu Pengle introduced Chief Jia and his wife to Cheng Yu'an: "Speaking of which, you are still brothers. Lao Jia graduated from the Literature Department of Film Academy."

Cheng Yu'an just smiled at this kind of forced relationship operation, and then said: "Hurry up and take your seat, the movie will start soon."

Within 2 minutes, the staff of China Film Group who came with the group whispered to Cheng Yu'an: "Marco Muller is here."

"He actually came." Cheng Yu'an was surprised.

Marco Muller, as the chairman of this year's film festival, came to support himself, which made him a little flattered.

Cheng Yu'an led people to welcome him. Seeing Marco Muller, his wife Du Amei and several film festival judges appeared collectively, he said with a smile: "Welcome, thank you very much for attending my premiere in person."

Cheng Yu'an said this sentence in Chinese, Marco Muller and Du Amei's Chinese are very good.

Marco Muller also replied in Chinese: "I have always been curious about what kind of films the most popular young directors in China can make in the past two years, and Amei is full of praise." This long sentence is very authentic. .

"Thank you, Ms. Du, for recommending me to Venice." Cheng Yu'an thanked Du Amei who was on the side.

Then Marco Muller introduced the fellow judges to him, everyone greeted each other, and Cheng Yuan invited them to sit down.

Jia Kechang was secretly upset. When "The World" premiered yesterday, there wasn't such a big show.

The away game is not so particular. When the time comes, the film will start showing.

The unshaven Zun Long woke up from the bed.

…………

"Warm and Containing Light" has 100 relationships in less than 7 minutes.

And every relationship sucks.

This requires very high requirements for creators, and requires directors and screenwriters to have very high narrative skills.

Of course Cheng Yuan can do it.

100 minute passed quickly.

"I love this story."

"Me too."

Although the characters in the movie speak Chinese, the audience can understand it with Italian subtitles.

There was warm applause and whistles and cheers in the theater.

Cheng Yu'an took people forward and bowed, thanking the audience for their support of "Warm and Bright".

Before leaving, Marco Muller praised: "A very good film, Director Cheng lives up to his reputation. The film festival has regulations, and the judges cannot express their opinions too much before the closing ceremony."

"Of course I understand." Cheng Yu'an nodded.

Marco Muller hugged Cheng Yuan before leaving, and praised: "The film is very good, I hope you can gain something in Venice." Said in Chinese.

"Thank you."

When the premiere ended, it was already past 10 o'clock local time in Venice.

Everyone returned to the hotel to rest.

The reporter of Princess 6 immediately sent the report of the premiere back to China.

For Marco Muller's sudden visit, domestic repercussions are relatively large.

The whole world knows that Marco Muller likes Chinese movies. Does his presence at the premiere of "Warm and Bright" mean that Cheng Yu'an is really likely to win the award?

It has been reported before that Marco Muller's wife, Ms. Du Amei, likes "Ambient and Containing Light" very much and promised to win an award for it.

Now that Marco Muller has appeared in the premiere, does it confirm this point even more?

Domestic speculation arose, and the film festival catalog was updated on the second day.

"Warm and Containing Light" scored 3.68, successfully broke into the top five, and most of the film critics scored (stars) were four stars.

The situation is very good.
