In 2005, the Chinese power at the 62nd Venice Film Festival was extremely strong. Apart from "The Piano" starring Sun Hao and "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" directed by Guan Jinpeng, there were two Chinese women in the Horizon unit. The director's film was shortlisted, Li Yu's new film "The Beauty" and Ning Ying's new film "Infinite Motion".
In the exhibition unit, Xu Ke's work "Seven Swords" and Chen Kexin's work "If Love" became the opening and closing films of this year's Venice Film Festival respectively.
In addition, the movie "Initial D" starring Jay Chou is also on the list. "Two of Us" was originally invited to participate in the Horizon unit, but Ma Liwen received an invitation from the Tokyo Film Festival and was the main competition unit.
Although the Horizon unit belongs to the Venice Film Festival, its influence is limited, and Tokyo is the main competition unit with greater influence, so Ma Liwen gave up Venice and chose to go to Tokyo.
Of course, Sun Hao didn't take the matter of being shortlisted to heart, because "The Piano of Steel" was already confirmed when he was invited, and it would enter the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival, so this is no surprise for Sun Hao to speak of.
My buddy is here to deal with errands and soy sauce, as for the award..., I won't think about it for the time being!
No matter how good the movie "The Piano of Steel" is, it may not be as good as Li An's "Brokeback Mountain". After all, in other people's movies, there are two men who are honest with each other.
…
The flight landed at Marco Polo International Airport. Sun Hao and the others walked down the VIP passage. Before they had gone a few steps, a well-mannered foreign old man with white beard and hair came up and gave Sun Hao a bear hug.
"My dear friend, welcome to the Venice Film Festival!"
Marco Muller, the chairman of the Venice International Film Festival, is a full-fledged China hand. He once studied in Beijing in the 1970s, and his first wife was a Chinese.
He is very good friends with Chinese film directors Xie Jin, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Jiang Wen.
To be honest, Sun Hao is not very familiar with him because the films he shoots are more commercial and he doesn't like to attend these so-called international film festival award ceremonies.
At most, it's just that I met a few times in the capital.
But this does not prevent Marco Muller from liking Sun Hao. Every year in May and June, this old man will always call Sun Hao. Sun, you can make a literary film, and we will We can meet in Europe now.
Therefore, when the film "The Piano of Steel" was still in full swing for post-production, Marco Muller sent an invitation to its director Zhang Meng through Han Shanye of China Film Group.
Come on, kid, please bring your film to the halls of European art, and of course, don't forget to come with the leading actor Sun Hao.
"Chairman Ma, you seem to be gaining weight?"
Hugging with the old man, Sun Hao smiled and spoke Chinese.
Well, if you speak English or Italian with him, it will be an insult to him.
"Heart and fat. This year marks the 100th anniversary of Chinese movies. I'm a little happy. When I'm happy, I eat as much as I can, and I gain weight!" Mark Muller shrugged, speaking humorously.
"Ha ha…"
Sun Hao laughed, this old man is too good at talking.
After laughing, Sun Hao directly introduced the people behind him to Mark Muller:
"Chairman Ma, although we don't have many people here today, they are definitely elites. This is Zhou Tao, who plays my ex-wife in the movie; this is Xu Jinglei, who plays my confidante in the movie; this It's Zhang Meng, the director and screenwriter of the movie "The Piano of Steel", the soul of our movie..."
"Well... comrades, this is Mark Muller, the chairman of the Venice Film Festival admired by thousands of people, and he is also the first person to promote Chinese films to the world.
You can call him Lao Ma, or Chairman Ma! "
"Hello Chairman Ma, I'm Zhou Tao!"
When other people behind Sun Hao saw this, they immediately followed.
"Hello Chairman Ma, I'm Xu Jinglei!"
"Hi Chairman Ma, I'm Zhang Meng!"
"Hello Chairman Ma, I'm Zhao Laoji from Northeast China!"
…
Zhao Laolan was a little excited, but at the same time he was very envious. The director of the film is really awesome for the sake of Sun Hao. The chairman of the film festival personally greeted him at the airport. This specification... is not ordinary high!
After exchanging pleasantries with Mark Muller, Sun Hao walked outside with him.
As soon as they walked out of the gate of the airport terminal, they were immediately surrounded by hundreds of Chinese and foreign reporters.
"Sun, it's the first time to participate in the Venice International Film Festival, how do you feel?"
"Sun Hao, why did you make an exception this time? Remember the last time, when Yuan Quan won the Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival for his movie "Parasite", you didn't come here in person."
"Sun, I read a report on the Internet, saying that China's Football Super League has officially changed its name to [Avatar Football Super League], making a movie the main sponsor of a country's football league, which is in the history of world movies This is the first time, what do you think about this?"
"Director, I read the news from Mainland China, saying that the movie "Avatar~www.mtlnovel.com~, which originally cost 500 million U.S. dollars, now has a budget that has increased to 1 billion U.S. dollars. I don't know if this is true. of?
If that's true, then it sets an all-time record for the highest-grossing single film in the world? "
The flash flickered crazily, and Zhu Yawen felt his eyes hurt even if he hid behind the sunglasses. This was the first time Zhu Yawen faced such a hot and lively scene, and the heart-piercing shouts were really impressive.
[In view of the general environment,
Teacher Sun said, anyway, I have nothing to do recently, and I want to bring myself here to see the world, and now I really see the world, but why doesn't Teacher Sun answer the questions of these reporters?
As Zhu Yawen was thinking, he saw Sun Hao waved to everyone with a very experienced smile, and then went straight to the pier.
Because from here to Lido Island, where the Venice Film Festival is held, you need to take a boat.
…
"Sun..."
"Um?"
"Is the movie "Avatar" really going to raise the investment to one billion US dollars? You know, no one has ever made such a high investment in a movie before." Sitting on a luxury cruise ship to Lido Island , Mark Muller, chairman of the Venice International Film Festival, asked the same question as a reporter just now.
"There is nothing wrong with the investment of one billion US dollars, but it is not one movie, but two, just like when I filmed "Reaper" back then, in order to save costs, time and make full use of props, so I made two movies. film together."
Different from keeping silent in the interview just now, facing Marco Muller, Sun Hao gave an accurate answer.
And when he said this, Sun Hao was actually thinking carefully, should Yu Qing, who is far away in the capital, do something now? !
