Chapter 233 I Don't Like That Movie
The premiere of "Car 44" was a success, and even though it was only a 1-minute short film, it caused a small shock at the festival.

The copyright income of short films is very limited, but the cost is not high.The copyright income from the sale is enough to recover the cost and support the expenses of the trip to Venice at this time.

For this reason, Wu Shixian and Gong Beimi specially invited everyone to have a seafood dinner on Lido Island.

After the opening of the film festival, the flow of people in the trading market also increased. Many brochures were distributed on the booth of "The Third Man", but no one showed any interest in the film.Not only Zeng Jia, who was guarding the booth every day, was very anxious, but Li Tang and Cheng Er were also worried. After all, they threw their entire family out for this movie, eager to recover their blood.

On September [-], "There's a Hollywood in Hong Kong" premiered.

As the only Chinese film shortlisted for the main competition unit, it was arranged by the organizers in a hall second only to the main venue, with a serious premiere red carpet.

The scene was very lively, and there were many media from Hong Kong, such as "Oriental Daily", "Sing Pao", "Ming Pao", "Apple Daily" and so on.

Since it's a Chinese film, everyone cheered each other on, Zhang Yang, the director of "Yesterday", and Zhu Wen, the director of "Seafood", both came.Of course, the most sensational scene was the presence of the chairman of the film festival, Abeto Barbera, which attracted the scene of the Hong Kong media reporters.

The old man obviously knows marketing very well. Facing the cameras of many media, the old man held Zhou Xun's hand and said that he hoped that she could attend the awards ceremony at the end of the film festival.

As soon as this remark came out, the Chinese-language media at the scene suddenly became enthusiastic, and immediately issued an announcement, saying that Zhou Xun is very likely to win the crown of actress.

But when he actually sat in the theater and watched this movie, Li Tang could only describe it as sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn in his back, and like a thorn in his throat. And this one is a political metaphor film through and through.

Zhou Xun played the name of the girl who lost her footing from mainland China: Dongdong, Fangfang, Honghong, what do you mean?
Women who lost their feet, aunts, and wandering doctors flocked to Hong Kong to make money, gathered in low-level gathering areas, and then caused uneasiness and panic among the aborigines. In addition to the vague sense of superiority, there are also various divisions and barriers , disharmony and repulsion.

The male protagonist had his right hand cut off for Dong Dong, Fang Fang, and Hong Hong, but he got a left hand from a mainland doctor. He was forced to have two left hands. What does it mean?
Dongdong, Fangfang, and Honghong, played by Zhou Xun, deceived everyone in Hong Kong, and finally went to the United States. What do you want to express?
The actor cut off the wrong left hand in the last scene, what do you want to explain, are you determined?
After a movie, Li Tang's affection for the little black fat man disappeared, and he even developed a kind of disgust and vigilance. After the movie ended, he didn't even say hello and left.

On the way back, Li Tang and Cheng Er were silent, only Fan Xiaopang was still chattering, "Wow, Zhou Xun's sacrifice this time is really great!"

"She speaks Cantonese well!"

Li Tang and Cheng Er couldn't help but glance at each other.

Uneducated, this is terrible!
Zhou Xun is also uneducated, but it doesn't mean that her agent is uneducated, and her agent was born in a large courtyard.

Compound, synonymous with the ruling class, perhaps this is the most terrifying.

As soon as the three of them returned to the guest house, Zhou Xun's call came after them.

"Li Tang, where are you?"

"Oh, we're going back."

"Why didn't you even say hello? There's still a dinner." Zhou Xun said unhappily on the phone.

"Uh……"

Li Tang was speechless for a while, glanced at Xiaopang who was changing clothes, and made up an excuse: "Bingbing is a little uncomfortable, so we left early, sorry!"

"Oh, that's it... Hey, how is my acting?"

"As far as acting goes, you did a great job."

"In terms of acting?"

Zhou Xun obviously read the subtext of Li Tang's words. Even if you are uneducated, some things cannot withstand scrutiny. Maybe it is the understanding of the script or the perception of the characters during the performance, or it may be reminded by others.

She was silent for a while, then changed the subject and said, "I'm going to fly to Paris tomorrow, there's an event there, and I won't be back until a few days later. But the date of going back this time will definitely be postponed, and Teacher Zhang may be unhappy again. "

Li Tang laughed and said, "If you win the Best Actress, I'm sure Lao Zhang will be happier than anyone else."

Currently, the crew of "Shooting the Condors" is filming grassland dramas in Ulan Butong. Unlike Yang Kang played by Li Tang, Huang Rong played by Zhou Xun has grassland dramas. He was originally scheduled to return to China to join the crew after participating in an event in Paris.Since the chairman of the film festival sent her an invitation today, she must stay until the end of the film festival.

"Don't talk nonsense, maybe people are just being polite."

From Zhou Xun's words, it can be heard that she, who originally had no hope of winning the award, inevitably has some expectations at this time.

After hanging up the phone, Xiaopang, who had already changed his clothes, immediately rolled his eyes at him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Your reason is fine, and I'm not feeling well, why don't you say you're not feeling well? I already said that There's going to be a dinner later, you insist on leaving, and so does Cheng Er, keep silent, hum!"

She specially wore a small dress today, and originally planned to meet some Hong Kong filmmakers at the dinner to expand her network, but she was forced to leave by Li Tang, and her plan fell through.

"I just left because I didn't want to participate in this dinner. You didn't see in the movie that they were all Hong Kong people. If you want to be talked about secretly as Beigu, I have no objection."

Xiaopang said unconvinced: "Aren't the movies all fake, besides, Miss Xiaoxun is already playing the lead actress."

The implication is that Zhou Xun, as a mainland actor, can play the lead actress, which shows that he does not discriminate against mainland actors.

Li Tang couldn't explain clearly to her, and didn't bother to explain, so he shook his head and prepared to go out.

"Hey, why are you going?"

"Go get something to eat, aren't you hungry?"

"Cut, take it upon yourself!"

……

So far, of all the shortlisted Chinese-language films, only "The Third Man" has not appeared, and the rest have shown their true colors.

Zhu Wen's "Seafood", to be honest, Li Tang really didn't know what it was filming. It was nothing more than a woman who lost her footing and wanted to commit suicide. A policeman rescued her, but the forced woman fucked her, and then took her to eat seafood, trying to untie her. heart knot.As a result, the relationship between the two became subtle. The police tried to change her life, and the woman who lost her footing gained trust in the police.But everything was short-lived. In a dispute, the woman who lost her foot shot and killed the policeman, and then miraculously calmed down. After forging the scene, she fled back to the capital overnight to continue her career as a woman who lost her foot.

The main reason is that this film was shot with the simplest household tape camera at first glance, and then magnetically transferred to plastic, so the picture is extremely poor.There are also all kinds of inexplicable long shots, messy street scenes, and shaky scenes of chasing behind the buttocks with a handheld camera, which looks very familiar, exactly the same as Chief Jia's "Xiao Wu".

And the scale is also huge, the male and female protagonists are all out of the country, no wonder they are black households.

While watching, Li Tang almost didn't fall asleep, but Cheng Er and the last few audience members in the screening hall watched very seriously.

Well, art is not something everyone can appreciate.

As for Zhang Yang's "Yesterday", it is more like a pseudo-documentary. The male protagonist in the film, including his family members, is said to play himself. A professional actress.

This actor is a familiar stranger to Li Tang, because he was once a big star, and even Lou Ye's former queen actor.

Just such a very successful actor fell into Dupin's trap.The film describes John Lennon, who is crazy about rock music and regards the Beatles as his spiritual father. At the same time, he also comes into contact with the appendages that are not the spiritual core of these pioneer artists-dupin.

From then on, he stopped acting, and his personality became extreme, paranoid, crazy, hysterical, out of tune with other people, and he also suffered from visual and auditory hallucinations.The parents in their hometown in the northeast were not reconciled to their son sinking like this, so they retired early and moved the whole family to the capital to take care of their son.Everything that followed was like a war...

On the surface, it seems quite touching, but at its core, to put it bluntly, it is full of all kinds of hypocrisy and moans of so-called artists.

The so-called pain is that life is too good, and the pursuit of the so-called spiritual world is self-inflicted.You must know that smoking is illegal, and if you try something you know is illegal, you deserve it.

Li Tang, who lived in the United States in his previous life, saw a lot of drug addicts, who looked like walking corpses, and he hated seeing them, so he couldn't feel a little bit of empathy for this kind of self-movement, let alone any sympathy. After all, people have to pay for their actions. cost.

……

On September [-], "The Third Man" premiered.

Before the premiere, there was a small press conference. Thanks to the French reporter Naian contacted last time, the interview in the magazine made Cheng Er, a new director, attract many European media reporters for his first feature film. , of course, Chinese media reporters are also indispensable.

There are very few domestic reporters, and most of them are entertainment reporters from major portal websites.To be honest, their questions were quite unprofessional, they paid less attention to the movie itself, and more to various gossip news, such as "Do you have confidence in winning the award?" "Zhou Xun is expected to become the actress, what do you think about this?" "This kind of question is relished.

This year, because there are no Wanwan films shortlisted, there are not many reporters from Wanwan, and more Hong Kong media reporters.They also didn't care about "The Third Man", and the questions were all about their thoughts on "Hong Kong, There's Hollywood", which premiered yesterday.

Cheng Er hesitated and made some comments on the technique of the film itself, while Li Tang talked about him at the beginning, hoping to confuse this issue.As a result, those Hong Kong media reporters worked tirelessly, and he was annoyed, so he simply said: "I don't like that movie, not at all."

　The first!
