Actor: My Entertainment Era

As the Venice Film Festival gets closer and closer, Fan Bingbing's domestic marketing is becoming more and more interesting. Zhang Yuanjun does not do marketing, and Fan Bingbing can do his best.

Before leaving for Venice, Fan Bingbing's marketing had evolved to the point of becoming a "quasi-Venice movie queen".

To make an information gap, many viewers do not know that there are no shortlists for the three major European Actor Awards. All films shortlisted for the main competition will participate in the selection of all awards.

In other words, all the actors and actresses in the films shortlisted for the main competition are quasi-best actors and actresses.

Do you think Fan Bingbing was wrong? No.

Because she is really a quasi-Venice Best Actress.

Her fans are already clamoring to "conquer the water city".

Zhang Yuanjun decided not to participate in this Venice International Film Festival, so the crew of "Redemption" sent Gu Changwei, Fan Bingbing and production company boss Wang Zhonglei to Shuicheng.

Before leaving, Wang Zhonglei jokingly asked Zhang Yuanjun: "What if I award you the Best Actor Award?" Huayi has already seen the film internally, and at least the company feels that Zhang Yuanjun's performance is very good, even better than that year's "Transcendence". I think "Redemption" can help Zhang Yuanjun win a few best actor trophies.

Zhang Yuanjun didn’t take it seriously: “I wasn’t trained in Venice, so how could they give me the award?” In addition to Berlin, Cannes and Venice are keen on cultivating their own direct forces in the world of film, and Zhang Yuanjun was rightfully included in the Cannes camp. .

Wang Zhonglei said: "Good works and good acting skills can break through this kind of stereotype. There are many actors who have won Cannes and Venice."

Zhang Yuanjun only thought that Wang Zhonglei was saying good things to comfort him, but didn't take it seriously. He wished them good results in Venice, that's all.

In the history of the three majors, there are only 6 actors who have won two or more Best Actors, and two of them have completed three majors.

Even though Zhang Yuanjun felt that he performed well in "Redemption", he did not dare to expect that he could win the Volpi Cup.

too difficult.

Zhang Yuanjun will not go to Venice, but he is the absolute male protagonist of "Redemption" after all, and all the highlights are on him.

Zhang Yuanjun is very famous in the international film industry, especially in the international art film industry. He has a certain number of fans in the European art film industry.

His absence is a pity, but the crew will use another way to market Zhang Yuanjun.

Huayi Club told the audience that Crystal was pregnant. Zhang Yuanjun loved his wife very much and wanted to stay with her to take care of her.

Europe loves this kind of affectionate setting.

Huayi will also strengthen Zhang Yuanjun's drama-mad character during the film festival. Zhang Yuanjun takes care of his wife while performing a new drama, focusing on a drama that is bigger than the sky and loves drama deeply.

In fact, it is not considered character marketing, because Zhang Yuanjun really did this.

When the film festival opened, it was early morning in China.

The next day #FanBingbingVeniceRedCarpet# was on the hot search list.

Routine operation.

When you click on it, you will see that it is a very normal film festival marketing release.

Perhaps because he wanted to get married, or perhaps because he was actually shortlisted as a leading actor this time, Fan Bingbing went against the grain and chose a dress that was less high-profile and less eye-catching.

But Fan Bingbing has a high beauty quotient and knows how to dress well, so the opening ceremony dress is still beautiful. "On the evening of the 31st local time, the 73rd Venice International Film Festival opened. Produced by Huayi Brothers, directed by Gu Changwei, and starring Zhang Yuanjun and Fan Bingbing, "Redemption" is the only Chinese film shortlisted for the main competition unit of this film festival. That night , producer Wang Zhonglei, director Gu Changwei, heroine Fan Bingbing and relevant persons in charge of the film’s international distributor MK2 walked on the red carpet.”

"The 73rd Venice International Film Festival opened. "Redemption" became the only Chinese-language film in this film festival. Fan Bingbing walked on the red carpet of the three major European film festivals as a female protagonist for the first time. Due to his wife's pregnancy, the film's leading actor Zhang Yuanjun was absent. Opening ceremony. Pictured is Fan Bingbing’s red carpet look.”

But Zhang Yuanjun also has to accept interviews from some media in China. It is more convenient for the domestic media that he does not go to Venice.

Zhang Yuanjun also knows that these interviews are necessary to promote the movie, so he will accept them patiently.

Not much, four or five a day is enough.

Talking about not being able to go to Venice, Zhang Yuanjun said that it was indeed a pity.

The reporter asked him again: "What does Yifei think of you not going to Venice? She has someone to take care of her at home, and the fetus is now stable. It doesn't seem to matter if you go out for a few days."

Zhang Yuanjun replied: "On the one hand, I want to be with her at home, and on the other hand, it is because the theater has a performance during this period, which was arranged last year, and I have to finish the performance."

After chatting about daily life, it was natural to return to movies.

"Director Gu Changwei said in an interview that your performance was better than that of "Transcendence". What do you think?"

Zhang Yuanjun said: "I was 23 years old when I acted in "Transcendence", and it has been 8 years now. I was as good as I was then, and I am as good as now. I am very satisfied with "Transcendence", and I am also very satisfied with "Redemption". Like, no one is better than anyone else.”

"In eight years, how do you think you have changed after starring in two dramas?"

"I have more experience, my skills are more proficient, and the whole environment has changed." Zhang Yuanjun replied.

The reporter sensitively caught the environmental change Zhang Yuanjun mentioned: "What does environmental change mean?" She wanted to guide Zhang Yuanjun to criticize the impetuous atmosphere in the circle.

But Zhang Yuanjun just said: "It's harder to make literary films, and many big directors can't find money. In the past, when I made "Detachment" and "Love Afterlife", I could still find money. Now I have made "Detachment" "I'm going to talk about the script, and I don't think any boss will meet with me."

However, Zhang Yuanjun is still very optimistic about the prospects: "Fortunately, there are still a group of people who are persisting, and now there are many platforms for literary and artistic films."

The reporter asked again: "We found that in the past few years, you have made one or two movies every year to meet the audience. What allows you to maintain such strong creative power?"

One or two movies every year is already a surprisingly high productivity for an actor. Not to mention an actor of Zhang Yuanjun’s stature, it is difficult for even an actor with a waist to appear in a movie every year.

Zhang Yuanjun said: "There is no secret. Whatever you like to do and what you want to do, you will find a way to do it." There is really no secret.

At the end of the interview, Zhang Yuanjun still expressed his hope that "Redemption" can achieve satisfactory results in Venice: "It doesn't have to win an award. There are other rewards from participating in the film festival. Lido Island is also a beautiful island. It is fun during the film festival. ”

Zhang Yuanjun maintains the frequency of interviewing three or four companies a day, but most of the media come to ask about his family life, and the movie questions are just incidental.

I couldn't find anyone before, but now I have to ask carefully to borrow the name of Venice.

For example, when is the due date, will the baby be born in China or abroad, has the name been decided, how long will Liu Yifei take care of the baby, and when will she make a comeback?

"Thank you for your hard work, husband." Liu Yifei has been very considerate of Zhang Yuanjun's hard work these days.

"It won't be hard for you to kiss me."

"Auntie is here, let's talk in the evening." Liu Yifei glanced at the nanny who was working. (End of chapter)
