Chapter 549 Absence
"Clap clap clap."
The applause was sparse and slowly subsided.
After a film screening is over, it's the turn of the show magazine media and film critics to interview.
The main creator of "Manchester by the Sea", Matt Dumber and Scarlett didn't come, but Ye Qin and Kenneth Lonergan came, sitting on the folding chairs set up in front of the screen.
"Okay, let's get started."
Not long, about 10 minutes.
And the main question is the director, and occasionally a few questions about the actors.
"The crew prepared for a year, and it took less than 1 weeks to wrap up. We were lucky. The location scene of this story needs a lot of snow, and it just happened to be a heavy snow..."
"This story is fictitious. Matt came up with the idea in the beginning, and he asked me to save the script together."
"Qin is also recommended by him to play Li. Oh, I think his decision is really great. Not only is he fully immersed in this role, but he can also rationally retain the characteristics I want to be presented. This is an excellent actor. The fun of being a partner is that they can really bring out the characters..."
Touting, licking Ye Qin for 7 minutes.
Very good, the licking is very energetic, enough to be the rudder master of the western branch of the Dog Licking God Cult.
Ye Qin smiled, and was caught fire by the media.
"Qin, how do you play a role with such a heavy burden, I mean, play it so that people love and hate it?"
"I pictured Lee as Sisyphus."
Ye Qin pretended to be serious and said: "Sisyphus kidnapped the god of death, so that there will be no death in the world. The gods punished Sisyphus and asked him to push a huge boulder to the top of the mountain, but the boulder was too heavy, and every time he failed to reach the top of the mountain, Just rolled off. And so he kept repeating, never ending.
Li is Sisyphus in reality, he closes himself, suffers from inner torment, is crueler than any physical torture, and punishes himself with numbness day after day. "
"Wow!"
The answer is very gentle, and Europe is just like this.
The motivation to ask questions became more and more aroused, and a bunch of questions were asked in a hurry. Seeing that it was timed out, the host hurriedly interrupted.
"Please, one last question!"
"the last one."
Faced with the media's intransigence, Ye Qin could do nothing but spoil him, and find his family at a glance among the crowd with their arms raised high.
"I'm a reporter from Xinhuanet."
A little girl stood up abruptly and asked, "Manchester by the Sea, you weren't Lee's No.1 choice at the beginning, but Matt was cute. Is that the case?"
"Yes."
At the mention of this, the corners of Ye Qin's mouth rose wildly, and he almost couldn't help laughing.
"But later, for some reason, Daimeng approached me, and he said, 'Dude, I have a script that is perfect for you'. I read it and it was really good, so I accepted it. I want to thank Daimeng."
"Then why didn't he act himself?"
"That's the second question."
Ye Qin smiled and said nothing, what else, "The Great Wall"!
…………
""Manchester by the Sea" uses a two-line narrative, and a large number of flashbacks make the whole film forbearing and overly restrained. There is not much emotional ups and downs in the whole film, only calm narration, everything is like Manchester by the Sea, gray Blue, cold..."
"French Film" gave it a score of 3.7, and "Variety Show", which is also on a five-point scale, scored a high score of 3.6, but it is undisputed that everything is worth it.
The organizers of Venice even added three more shows at the strong request of movie fans. On the second and third days, there was still an endless stream of people, and the theater was full of people.
Instead, "Mother! ", "The First Lady", "Arrival" and several Hollywood movies are deserted.
Because of this, Ye Qin quietly watched "Bad Love" starring Keanu Reeves, and then attended the "Focus on China" reception at night.
It is purely to sell the organizers, especially Xinhua Net, a face.
The reception is simple, not as flashy as Cannes.
This has something to do with the current president, Alberto Barbara, who is the king of film art and wants to reshape Venice into a high-end film festival that is serious and anti-Hollywood.
After all, Venice is the oldest film festival in the world, known as the "Father of International Film Festivals" and has a great reputation. Now it is all up to the pro-Hollywood Cannes to steal the limelight.
"Brother, there is a Penguin reporter here who wants to interview you."
I saw a little girl standing where Lin Bin pointed.
Ye Qin took a sip of champagne, shook his head and turned around: "Brother Bin, block it for me."
But at this moment, the little girl hurried over and boldly asked a question:
"Ye Qin, what do you think about the disfavor of Chinese films in Venice?"
Not favored?
It is just too favored!
The Venice Film Festival is held in Marc Muller, Alberto Barbara's predecessor, who is really a fan of Huaxia.
Not only do I come to Huaxia two or three times a year to connect with each other, but I also specially invite a Huaxia consultant to screen Chinese-language movies, such as "Sunny Day", "The Good Man in Three Gorges", "Raise the Red Lantern"...
Chief Jia Ke, Zhang Guoshi, Li An, and Jiang Wen were all taken care of, but now Alberto Barbara was replaced.
He was standing in front of Ye Qin right now, blocking the way: "Qin, I'm surprised that more and more Chinese films are being produced, but fewer and fewer are suitable for our film festival."
"Aren't they exciting or pretty?"
"Wonderful, comparable to movies made anywhere in the world, but the content of the movie is not suitable for going abroad, it is basically a popular movie for your local audience."
That's no nonsense!
Ye Qin's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Compared to going abroad, of course it's open to the public."
In the millennium, because public knowledge is online, people are very unconfident and hope to be recognized by foreign countries.
Therefore, all awards are open to all. The Olympic Games judge heroes with gold medals. Movies just want to please people, and film festivals are fine!
Now, his meow's Huaxia is revived, and he still pleases you?
Not cheap!
"Not suitable? I don't think so. "Fireworks in the Day", "Return", "No Man's Land", "A Touch of Sin", many Chinese-language films have come out in recent years, but few have entered Venice."
Alberto Barbara stuck his neck: "But the quality of Huaxia films is declining, independent films are in crisis, and it is becoming more and more difficult for low-budget films to enter the market, and they have no chance of distribution!"
"That was before, don't look at Huaxia with old eyes!"
Ye Qin replied, mother, put away your arrogance for me.
"The art film screening theater chain has been formed, and I have opened up the overseas copyright agency channel in Europe."
"You mean the Fortismo International Films in the Netherlands that you acquired?"
"uh-huh."
"But why didn't you cooperate with our film festival?"
Ye Qin: (#￣～￣#)
What do you say, my lord, times have changed!
…………
Speaking of the three major film festivals in Europe, Venice is the latest to establish a film trading market, which is completely driven by ducks.
The market is open for five days, and the market is empty.
Not to mention Cannes and Berlin, the Toronto Film Festival, which is backed by the United States, dominates Venice, and few films are willing to sell films here.
Including "Manchester by the Sea", once the Venice Film Festival closes and wins the award, the main creative team will rush to Toronto, which is a good place to negotiate business.
The film festival is coming to an end, and most of the films in the screening unit have been unveiled. Without a doubt, "Manchester by the Sea" has the highest reputation among the media and movie fans, and the call for the Golden Lion Award is getting louder and louder.
Ye Qin is very busy. These days, he is socializing and attending different receptions and parties, mainly to support "Focus on China".
The second is that these parties will have judges present.
Even if there are countless film kings, public relations, and awards, don't put on airs!
Occasionally, a few times, my face flushed and my ears turned red after drinking, and I was very drunk.
In the middle of the night, Yang Xiaomi took a few sips of wine, finally made up her mind, sneaked to Ye Qin's "404" room, and took out the spare room card that she had prepared earlier from her bag.
Then check and check other props, everything is ready, go straight to Brother Lou!
Didi, the electronic door opens.
However, unexpectedly, the executive suite was not pitch-black, but brightly lit. Liu Shishi and Zhong Lifang were sitting on the sofa talking softly.
"Hey, big honey, how did you come in?" Zhong Lifang wondered.
It's over, it's a mistake!
Yang Xiaomi concealed her guilty conscience: "Oh, I'm here to find Brother Lou."
"Looking for him? It's just right, so I can save you calling and sit down."
Yang Xiaomi greeted Liu Shishi, but Liu Shishi turned her head away and completely ignored her. It is impossible for the two of them to return to the girlfriend relationship in "Xian 3" in this lifetime.
She smiled awkwardly: "Where is Brother Lou, what reception is he going to so late?"
"No, Qin Zi has already returned to America."
"Back to America?!"
"That's right, this year's Venice closing ceremony will be absent."
"Ah, absent!"
Yang Xiaomi opened her mouth: "Why is Brother Lou absent?"
"He didn't like the chairman of the film festival, so instead of staying unhappy, he simply went back to film "La La Land."
"Brother Lou, will you offend me by doing this..."
"What's the offense? It's just absent. In the previous Venice Film Festival, Hollywood stars who were lower than him were also absent. With Qin Zi's current status, there must be no awards that should be awarded!"
Zhong Lifang was very domineering, and then took out three invitation letters for the closing ceremony.
As long as there are tickets for the closing ceremony, this implies that "Manchester by the Sea" must have a prize!
"Originally, you couldn't participate in the closing ceremony. But Qin Zi was absent, and Matt was absent. The extra invitations will be distributed to you, and you will be the recipients of the awards."
"Sister Zhong, if Ye Qin wins the award, who will receive it?"
Liu Shishi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.
Zhong Lifang looked at Yang Xiaomi from the left and Shishi Liu from the right:
"He said, of course..."
