"Mark, the really busy person should be you, right?" Evan Bell saw Mark Mueller and gave him a hug with a smile. In three major international film festivals, including Toronto Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival The film festival, in fact, Evan Bell and Mark Mueller's personal friendship is the best. This time Evan Bell came to Venice, which can be regarded as a solution to a major problem of Mark Mueller, "But this year I see that you are busy in vain, and the organization of the film festival is not satisfactory."

Evan Bell is also willing to express his views because of Mark Muller being a friend. Otherwise, he has a lot of ideas about Berlin and Shana, and he has not seen him talk to the chairman. Mark Mueller also knew this, he shook his head, "How can the chairman of the three major film festivals be so good."

An exclamation made Evan Bell also a little sighed, "The position of the chairman of the three major film festivals is not more and more stable with the growth of time, on the contrary, the pressure is increasing. This is true even for Jill Jacobs, who is almost covering the sky at the Shana Film Festival. Why would he want to use Evan Bell to promote the film festival, that is, the pressure on the chairman position, the situation of the three major film festivals this year is not good. Where to go, you can imagine the level of headaches for the chairmen.

"But at least you shouldn't abuse those of us who don't understand Italian, right? It's not the right choice without an English show." Evan Bell raised his eyebrows and complained about his dissatisfaction. As for the movie ticket price Issues like that, even if Evan Bell mentioned it, it is estimated that Mark Mueller would not discuss it in depth with him.

When Jennifer Lawrence saw Mark Mueller coming, she exchanged glances with Evan Bell and greeted Anne Hathaway who had just come in. Jennifer Lawrence doesn't want to interrupt a conversation between Evan Bell and Mark Mueller. Clearly, Jennifer Lawrence made a wise choice.

Faced with Evan Bell's accusation, Mark Muller smiled awkwardly, "Our mistake." As for why there is no English-language publication in an international film festival like Venice, the reason for this is probably only Mark Muller himself. Knowing "This time's 'Juno' has received countless praises, I'm really curious about where your limits are?"

"Arnold Schwarzenegger?" Evan Bell replied, making Mark Mueller laugh. Indeed, although Evan Bell has starred in action films like "Enemies Robot", it is essentially a sci-fi film, and Evan Bell has not starred in a true action film yet - "Batman: The Darkness" Knight" doesn't count.

With a smile on Mark Mueller's face, "If you want to act, what's the problem?" Evan Bell shrugged and didn't answer, "What about the current filming plan? I thought' Blood is coming' is a peak, and now there is 'Juno'. We are really looking forward to you. "

In the face of Mark Muller's words of praise and inquiries, Evan Bell heard the clues at once: "I'm still in Venice now, so are you thinking about next year?"

Mark Mueller saw that his intentions were seen through by Evan Bell, so he stopped covering it up, "There is no way, it must be considered."

Recall that Jill Jacobs originally hoped that Evan Bell would be the chairman of the jury of the Shana Film Festival, in fact, he hoped to use Evan Bell's fame to start the publicity war of the Shana Film Festival. And Mark Muller invited Evan Bell to Water City this time, also hoping to save the Venice Film Festival facing a big-name crisis. So it's no surprise that Mark Mueller wants to keep inviting Evan Bell to attend next year.

"I will have an additional budget next year, and sponsorships have been negotiated. I plan to invite more North American distribution companies to Venice." Mark Mueller said frankly, anyway, he will announce this information at a press conference tomorrow, and now it is ahead of schedule. It doesn't matter if I tell Evan Bell, "Compared to repeating previous success, reform is our only way out." Evan Bell did not speak, and he knew that Mark Mueller's words were definitely not finished.

Mark Muller paused, seeing Evan Bell's only smiling face, he had to continue, "Starting next year, the Venice Film Festival will be permanently adjusted to the first Wednesday in September every year. "

In other words, it will be held about ten days later than now. This made Evan Bell frown slightly. Mark Mueller's calculations couldn't be simpler.

With the rise of the Toronto Film Festival, the most threatened is the Venice Film Festival. Taking this year as an example, the North American film market, which was already in crisis because of the writers' strike at the end of last year, has seen a sharp drop in the number of excellent films. In the face of the comparison between the two film festivals in Venice and Toronto, the North American film companies are naturally the best. The choice of Toronto has caused this year's Venice Film Festival to be deserted.

In fact, Evan Bell originally planned the same. "Juno" was originally scheduled to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival. So, the dilemma of the Venice Film Festival is clear at a glance. Mark Muller knew that if Venice did not reform, it would be sitting still, so he had to take the initiative. Delaying the opening of the Venice Film Festival, which allows Venice to overlap with Toronto, and brings the North American awards season a month earlier, will make Venice more competitive. Coupled with the addition of additional investment to invite North American production companies to come to Venice, it is conceivable that next year's Venice will be more attractive to North America.

In order to continue to increase the chips in his hands, Mark Muller still hopes that Evan Bell can come again, which is also helpful for the topicality. Mark Muller saw that Evan Bell's expression moved slightly, and he just paused for a while, and then continued, "Actually, if you want, I also want to give you the position of the chairman of the jury."

If Jill Jacobs wants Evan Bell to be the chairman of the jury at the Shana Film Festival, it is purely a position of mutual use, then Mark Muller has the same idea, although he has the idea of ​​​​using Evan Bell, but more Most of it is because of Evan Bell's status in the international film industry today. Imagine that the 25-year-old director's Grand Slam winner, Evan Bell's talent and ability, Evan Bell's vigor and youth, is a qualitative change for the entire Venice Film Festival.

However, Evan Bell still had the same attitude. He shook his head, "I have no interest in the position of the chairman of the jury." In fact, Evan Bell was somewhat resistant to the position of the jury because he knew that How important is the responsibility of the film festival jury, they are responsible for recommending participating films to all film fans participating in the festival with their professional vision and personal taste. This responsibility is not so simple.

Thanks to his experience as a journalist in his past life, Evan Bell knows very well how difficult it is to be a good film critic, because really good film critics must be responsible for their own film reviews, and they are not just about one To make a judgment on this work, he also refracts a work of art like a movie with his own literary heritage and life experience. Even a spoof comedy movie is a finished product made by a whole team of hard work. Maybe their purpose is to make a smile, or to make a lot of money at a small cost, but the works that can appear on the big screen are all Not so simple. Therefore, the responsibility of film critics is actually very important. They are different from ordinary film fans. They can freely express their opinions, and they must be responsible for their own film reviews!

Therefore, Evan Bell knows his own weight, and he does not think he is suitable to be a judge, because his personal views are too strong, and it is difficult to maintain an objective position, which is a disaster for the film festival. After all, this is not "Evan Bell's Guide to Watching Movies..."

"But I can recommend a candidate for you." Evan Bell took over the topic and said that although he was not interested in the position of the chairman of the jury, it did not prevent him from helping Mark Mueller. Hearing this, Mark Mueller's eyes, which had been slightly dimmed just now because of Evan Bell's rejection, could not help but light up again, "Li, Ann."

When Mark Mueller heard the name, he suddenly realized, after pondering it roughly, he felt that it seemed to be something, and the hidden meaning became more and more interesting, and the smile on his face could not help showing again, "I don't know which film festival has it. It is an honor to invite you to be the judge of the film festival for the first time."

In fact, for people in the film industry, it is a great honor to be a judge of the three major film festivals, because this is not only an affirmation of the international reputation of the parties involved~www.readwn.com~, but also the professionalism of the parties. affim. Not to mention the chairman of the jury. But this obviously does not apply to Evan Bell. Two of the three major film festivals wanted to invite Evan Bell to be the chairman of the jury, but he ruthlessly rejected them. I have to say that Evan Bell's indifferent attitude is really rare.

"I guess not." Evan Bell said with a smile.

"Sundance?" Mark Mueller knew that Evan Bell had always had a special affection for the Sundance Film Festival.

But Evan Bell still shook his head, "I'm really not interested in the judges."

Mark Muller did not continue to ask, "What about the works? Your works can always come to Venice again next year, right?"

"Mark, did you meet me for the first time today?" Evan Bell asked back, with a playful smile on his face, "I don't even know when the next work will come out, don't you forget, I just I just came back from a long vacation, and I have no plans for the next work. So, next year, we will naturally wait until next year to talk about it.”

Mark Mueller opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all, he knew that what Evan Bell said was the truth, "Then I can only pray.

Facing Mark Mueller's somewhat helpless ridicule, Evan Bell raised his right index finger and said seriously, "Remember to put your hands together."
