Chapter 229 Venice (4/5)
With the opening of paintings in China, the global box office of "Inception" officially exceeded 850 million US dollars, and there is a chance to reach 900 million...
Nolan gradually gathered his character and became an original film master director...
In fact, the whole of Hollywood is biased against original big productions!
No film company dares to easily place a budget of more than $100 million for an original movie!
Unless, the director himself can take action!
Therefore, many amazing original productions are not produced by Hollywood's top six...
With the success of "Inception", the media are saying that this is a victory for original movies, and Hollywood production companies will be interested in more original stories that have been hidden by directors or screenwriters for a long time...
But all filmmakers are very clear that the downturn in Hollywood original films will not change because of this, but will only decline more and more. Sequels and adaptations are the mainstream of commercial productions.
Of course, the benefits the actors get are real. The first one is Little Li Zi. To be honest, Li Zi is definitely one of the few actors in Hollywood who have never acted in bad movies!
But apart from the big ship, his business appeal is really not strong.
The drama "Inception" has surpassed "Attack on Punishment" and has become the second North American work in his career to have a box office of over $300 million.
Also bullish are Joseph Gordon and Zhouxun!
According to news from the peak, several medium-sized productions are interested in inviting Xun to be the heroine, but it depends on her own ideas...
In fact, it is really difficult for Chinese actors to get along in Hollywood, especially those who are like Xun Ge’s literary and artistic romance - few Americans are willing to watch an art film starring Chinese.
Secondly, in recent years, Hollywood's choice of non-white and dark-skinned actors has become more rational.
However, after "Inception", Xun Ge's commercial value increased rapidly. When foreigners choose spokespersons in China, they will first consider the Chinese actress who has made a reputation internationally instead of carpet star...
...
Excelsior Hotel in Venice.
In fact, this year's Venice Film Festival's media reporters have produced at least one-third more than in the past few sessions. Many reporters are coming for "Unreachable" and Little Little Little Little Wen, Fat Wen, and Scarlett Johansson!
Regardless of whether the Venice Film Festival admits it or not, they have always focused on pioneers. Their appeal has been far behind the Toronto Film Festival in Canada!
Without the pressure from Hollywood big names, their situation will only become more and more embarrassing!
However, there are still many films such as "Black Swan", "Die Renjie's Empire of Heaven", "Thirteen Assassins", "Norwegian Forest" and other films will participate in the official competition units to compete for the famous Golden Lion Award.
The reason why "Unreachable" was screened in Venice was that Catherine designed the award-winning strategy...
However, I was not shortlisted for the main competition unit, probably because... there is no show?
As soon as the film festival ended, the crew immediately went to Toronto...
The opening ceremony is tomorrow. At noon that day, Zhang Junsheng and Scarlett discussed the relationship between men and women enthusiastically and friendlyly in-depth with negative distances, and practiced it from a biological perspective.
In fact, a long time ago, when God created humanity, he gave each woman two advantages and one loophole, but when he created men, he only gave men one strength.
A great Western writer once said that if works such as movies or novels are not designed and express common relationships between men and women, they will not be appreciated and will not be circulated.
Scarlett, who was born as a literary goddess, knows these things very well...
Maybe she is busy filming Marvel movies recently, and she needs to vent her long-established pressure, skillful skills and beautiful body, so that the son of the plane almost couldn't stand it...
Scarlett is now at the peak of her appearance. In order to cooperate with the new show, her long golden hair was permed into small reels, leaving only a bunch of white, tender and smooth skin on her temples...
It's hard to imagine that her skin will become dull ten years later...
The goddess will always get old, so, seize the present!
After two rounds of battles, after taking a shower, Scarlett was applying cosmetics, and Zhang Junsheng handed her a notebook.
Looking at the title page: "Lucy?"
"Yes, my next work."
Taking a sip of water, Zhang Junsheng continued: "This is a science fiction film. Lucy was forced to become a drug dealer. Then this drug was poured into her own body, which gave her extraordinary power: including telepathy, instantaneous absorption of knowledge and other skills, making her an omnipotent "superwoman".
"A very simple story, mainly tells what will become after the brain is fully developed."
“…when will the computer be turned on?”
"It depends on your schedule. This drama doesn't take much time. It can be finished in thirty days..."
Scarlett thought for a while: "...Then let's go next March, I have two more dramas to make!"
"Okay, then I'll go out first..."
“…Are you going out now?”
"Oh, there is an interview..."
Open the door, the sun was just shining outside...
...
When you walk down the street, you can clearly see that there are very few audiences and audiences in the Venice Film Festival, and all the reporters come!
Really declining...
The Italian local market shrinks, guests shrinks, and the stars are dim...
Marco Muller stepped down and left behind a movie palace unfinished building. The new leader Barbera prefers the artistry and purity of films, but happened to catch up with the rise of the Toronto Film Festival and the aftermath of the European economic crisis. He wanted to revitalize the film festival market, but found that no one bought it at all, and was worried about internal and external troubles.
The most popular movie tickets sold at this Venice Film Festival is "Unreachable", which is the opening film. Ten screenings were arranged, with an average pre-sale of nearly one-fifth...
In this era, such pre-sales were really low enough, but the pre-sales of other videos were even worse, and there was not even one-fifth of the pre-sales on average.
Compared to the packed Cannes, this scene is indeed a bit sad.
This is also the embarrassment of European films. If you want to distinguish them from Hollywood, you have to take the pioneering route. However, ordinary audiences have been absorbed by Hollywood. What should you do?
It can only go against the audience...
It is not the same path as the audience, it is destined to go far...
In later generations, Venice not only rejected Hollywood, but also had a feud with the mainstream Chinese film market...
Tsk tsk…
Zhang Junsheng was wearing a blue casual outfit, which was not eye-catching in the crowd, but he was still recognized.
"Junsheng!"
Zhang Junsheng turned around: "...Why are you here?"
The visitor was Zhou Xing. I thought about it carefully. Zhou Xing didn't seem to have brought the movie to Venice...
"I'm here to find you!"
“…Look for me? Can’t you talk on the phone?”
"The phone... I can't explain clearly, let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly!"
"… Let's talk while walking, the reporter of "People" is still waiting for me in the restaurant in front!"
Chapter completed!
