Chapter 270 The Magic Movie (Earth)

Day [-] of the Venice Film Festival.

The ten-day film festival is drawing to a close.

"The Wave" was screened again, this time not at the request of the audience, but by the organizer.

In fact, no matter how hot a topical movie is, it is impossible to play it four times. After all, the number of theaters is limited and the energy of the audience is limited, so this time the show is not in the main venue of the Venice Film Festival, but in a nearby one. held in the hotel.

This is allowed by the rules, and there are many such situations. In order to increase the influence of the film and the chance of selling, the producer or director will organize the screenings by himself. Because of the relationship between the cost and the cost, most of them will invite the film dealer as the audience. The Wave, on the other hand, targeted journalists and jury members.

Xing Shuwen would like to invite more film dealers. He is one of the film dealers himself. He is familiar with this industry and knows that the commercial value of "The Wave" is very low. In other words, the original 40-minute "The Wave" only It's like a film shot for an award, with almost zero commercial value.

"The Wave" is too literary and too entertaining.

Therefore, almost no film studios are interested in "The Wave", and the commercial value of Chinese-language films at major film festivals around the world has always been sluggish.

The last "Lyceum Theatre", which was shortlisted for the main competition unit at the Venice Film Festival, was sold to Strand Releasing, and was withdrawn urgently after it was released in North America. "Unstoppable" did not sell at all.

In terms of commercial value, the Chinese film industry has not really connected with the world. For Chinese filmmakers who have the world's largest film market, this is undoubtedly a... Well, they don't care, right.

In short, the self-funded screening of "The Wave" has attracted a wave of attention. The domestic self-media has packaged this news as "Truman's New Work Receives Extraordinary Treatment at the Venice Film Festival: Four consecutive screenings!" 》, the foreign media are very clear about this, knowing that this is a commercial activity, not a license from the organizer, so they didn't pay much attention.

The reporter of "Movie Handbook" is quite familiar with all the leading actors and producers of "The Wave" recently, but he was invited to participate in the movie viewing. He was more interested in the mention of "surprise" in the invitation letter.

The screening was held at the La Marie Diana Hotel on Lido Island. This is a high-standard hotel. The screening hall is converted from a banquet hall and can accommodate 300 people. This is more luxurious than the venue allocated to "The Wave" by the Movie Palace. A lot, and the exhibition arrangement and equipment rental fees for the entire venue are probably tens of millions of liras, right?
The reporter of "Movie Handbook" noticed that at the screening site, many reporters came, and several filmmakers came. Among the judges, Judy Moore and Hei Kazuo were all present. This is an exceptional treatment, and of course there are political elements and ideology. The reason for this is that in the past few days, "The Wave" has vigorously played the cards of "women's rights" and "female marginal actors", which can be said to have coerced a group of spectators.

As a reporter, I don't really like this kind of non-movie influence, but at this moment, I don't know what the producer of "The Wave" wants to fight for?Did you guys win other awards besides best short film?The possibility is too small, and the 40-minute length of "The Wave" is the Achilles' heel.

On the specially rented curtain, the movie screen was opened, and the venue quickly fell silent, and soon the reporter of "Cinema Handbook" noticed something was wrong... This is not "The Wave"!
When "The Wave" was screened, this reporter watched it twice. The first time was for first-time experience, and the second time was for aftertaste. By the time of the third screening, there was no need for it. A 40-minute movie, no matter how profound it is, , nor is it CULT level, there is no need to watch the third game.

Even after watching two scenes, he still has a deep memory of the whole film, especially the beginning of the film where the heroine and heroine are sitting on the sofa, but not this time, the beginning of the film is that the heroine is packing her luggage and preparing to go somewhere shot.

And from the conversation between her and her assistant, it can be seen that the heroine's name is 'Mikami Natsuka', which is the actor's real name, not the role she plays.

Misplaced film?
After this idea came out, the reporter shook his head again, because he saw that the producer, hero and heroine all sat there firmly, and did not show the panic expression and handling attitude that should be expected when a broadcast error occurs.

So... the reporter got interested and took out his notebook. Is this the director's cut?
Due to the disagreement with the producer, many directors will release a director's cut version after the film is officially released. The most famous one is "Justice League" by Zha Dao. I understand, such as "Kingdom of Heaven" and "Watchmen", and of course some are purely for making money, such as "The Whole Bloody Incident of Kill Bill".

After watching for a few minutes, the reporter noticed that this movie was obviously not the director's cut version.

Completely different storyline.

In the play, Natsuka Mikami plays the role of Natsuka Mikami, the Japanese actress Natsuka Mikami, and the reason why she is going to go out is because she has received many movie invitations from the Gulf Province of China, shooting 10 films in 10 days Movies, or that shouldn't be called movies, but shoddy porn.

Seeing this, the reporter couldn't help becoming interested. First of all, this should be a brand new film, and second, this film is likely to wrap the "Waves"...

The reporter recorded in his notebook: "I guess this may be a movie made up of extras, or the director wants to use his ingenious idea to turn it into a movie about Japanese pornographic performers, especially female performers. Documentaries about the social living environment are quite interesting, but I don’t know why the director did this? It seems that it won’t bring awards or commercial value.”

The subsequent development of the plot was exactly as expected by the reporter. Mikami Xiahua met Truman in Wanwan Province, and the two started shooting an excellent movie on the set that completely violated their original intentions, which was "The Wave".

"It's so interesting~"

The reporter recorded the storylines on the set. For example, Truman was originally kidnapped to the set, but he punched and kicked the set personnel to film his story according to his script. This kind of exaggerated plot added more to the film. Many jokes also added a lot of legend to this film.

Then, there was the original film of "The Wave". The original film of "The Wave" was cut into pieces and put into this new "After the Wave"—the reporter noticed that the invitation letter he received actually read ""The Wave" " and "The Invitation to Watch Movies of The Back Waves", so this is really a brand new movie called "The Back Waves".

After the original film of "The Wave" was disrupted, it became the embellishment of "The Back Wave", which didn't occupy too much space. Even if the audience watched "The Wave" once, they could watch the whole thing with relish, just like watching a behind-the-scenes flower sequence.

After the movie plot progressed to the completion of filming, there was a brief black scene. Of course, this was definitely not the end. The reporter of "Film Weekly" was full of expectations and imagined what the next scene would be. At this moment, a thought flooded into his mind. Brain, the idea was so novel that his whole body went numb.

Because he thought of a possibility...but, wouldn't it?
Sure enough, Cali Island appeared on the screen of the movie, and Natsuka Mikami and a group of actresses appeared separately. They walked down the gangway of the plane and came to the Venice Film Festival.

At this moment, the reporter wanted to applaud!
This movie is amazing!

　Longer, this plot is longer, and the length will be a little longer.
