Chapter 558 Big Thunder? Sagging? no! Has the industry become so involved?
Chapter 558 Big Thunder? Sagging? no! Has the industry become so involved?
The next morning, the 69th Venice International Film Festival officially ushered in the opening ceremony.
No matter which film festival it is, the red carpet is always the best place for female stars to "compete for beauty"!
Many female stars even stood on the red carpet for a long time, so that the security personnel on both sides had to rush forward from time to time.
The reason for this scene is definitely related to the ticket sales of the red carpet!
You should know that the red carpet of this Venice International Film Festival is open to the public, and the price is 20,000 euros.
In other words, as long as you are willing to spend 20,000 euros, you can walk freely on the red carpet of the Venice Film Festival.
For those female stars who come here at their own expense, the media are mostly not interested, so they usually contact photographers in advance to take pictures for them.
After the photos are taken, they are sent directly back to their countries, which is called a scene!
The performance time of "Dallas Buyers Club" is a little later. Chen Fei, Matthew McConaughey, Jack Nicholson and others are standing in the waiting area, watching the ongoing red carpet session.
Kyoko Koizumi, who is already 46 years old, walked gracefully in a black dress, showing her elegant temperament.
"I like this type."
Old Jack's words attracted the attention of everyone around.
Fade Chen was quite surprised: "Jack? Aren't you just interested in young girls like Leon? Why did you suddenly change your taste?"
"Who said I only like young girls? I'm never picky, I'm very happy to taste different tastes."
While talking, Old Jack also commented on Kyoko Koizumi's outfit: "I like her dress today. It makes me have an inexplicable impulse to break the taboo..."
Hearing this, Fade Chen seemed to realize something and said in surprise: "Shift! Jack? Do you like the Widow series?"
"Widow series? What is this?" Jack Nicholson was curious.
"I can't explain the details to you in detail. I will let Bruce contact you later. He is very familiar with the film and television business in Japan. Since you like the style of "widow", leave a few more classic works while the little brother is still not useless." "Really? Then I have to find out..." The two were chatting, and Matt Damon on the side suddenly said in a muffled voice: "I like the style of Aoi Yu, youthful and beautiful, like a graceful landscape." Everyone's eyes subconsciously looked at the red carpet. Aoi Yu, who just turned 27 this year, wore a white dress, which formed a strong contrast with Koizumi Kyoko next to her. One black and one white, mature + youth... It's a different flavor. "Matt, if you also want to go to Japan to make a movie, I can let Bruce introduce you to the right crew and heroine, as well as the shooting location." "Actress" is just a position in Japan. There are many practitioners with different styles, which can definitely satisfy the tastes of foreign tourists. "Oh, forget it." Matt Damon sighed and said with some regret: "I'm married and have three lovely daughters. What I want to do now is to return to my family."
"Matt, you are a good man!"
Chen Fei gave him a thumbs up.
In the prevailing environment of Hollywood, it is rare for someone to say that he wants to return to his family.
Even Chen Fei doesn't dare to say that he is willing to find a girlfriend and settle down.
After all... life without constraints is the most refreshing!
...
The box office failure of "Tai Chi 1: From Zero" put Huayi under great pressure, so at this Venice Film Festival, the film finally appeared on the scene as a screening.
Wang Zhonglei's purpose is very simple, which is to sell the copyright of the film at a high price and reduce losses.
On the red carpet, Yang Ying's dress also showed youth and beauty, and most of her fair skin was exposed on the upper body, which really attracted people's attention.
She rarely has the opportunity to participate in such international film festival awards. Now that she finally has the opportunity, she naturally wants to stir up some heat.
Makeup, dress, outfit... She is full of small details that deserve the attention of the media and fans, and she seems to want to amaze the audience.
Unfortunately, the one who followed her on the red carpet was Sophie Marceau.
"Red carpet exposure" is a reserved program for this popular European actress, so whenever she appears on the red carpet of a film festival, the media's cameras will inevitably freeze on her.
Just like now.
When Sophie Marceau followed the crew of "Tai Chi 1: From Zero" on the red carpet, the cameras that were originally fixed on Yang Ying were all transferred to her at this moment.
Even Chen Fei, Jack Nicholson and others who were waiting in the wings stopped talking at this time, and their eyes followed the swaying figure at the same time.
Suddenly, there were earth-shaking exclamations on the red carpet, and the cheers were even higher than one wave!
The reason for this scene is that under everyone's attention, the strap on one side of Sophie Marceau's dress suddenly slipped off her shoulder, revealing the huge size that is often generously displayed in movies!
Facing the exclamations of the people around her, Sophie Marceau was also very surprised.
However, she covered her mouth first, and after a while, she slowly pulled up the suspenders of her dress.
At this moment, both sides of the red carpet flashed with extremely bright light, and the dazzling flash lights seemed to completely suppress the light of the sun in the sky!
It goes without saying that Sophie Marceau will inevitably occupy the most prominent position in entertainment media around the world this time.
At the same time, Yang Ying, who had walked two-thirds of the way down the red carpet, turned her head and looked at the scene in front of her in shock.
She never thought that in order to gain attention, foreign female stars could actually make such "earth-shaking" measures!
"Isn't she worried about public opinion..."
Just as the doubts emerged in her heart, Yang Ying suddenly fell silent again.
As a female star, the focus of public opinion is not always a bad thing at certain times, but it is the best way to become famous and attract popularity.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
How can you make yourself the center of public opinion and take the opportunity to become popular?
…
Outside the court, Chen Fei had already started a discussion with others.
"Good guy, this aunt is really hardworking!"
"Oh my God, why is this big thunder drooping a little?"
"She does it almost every time to get attention."
"Has the industry become so involved? Do female stars really risk their lives for attention?"
"No, why do you always take off your shirt? Isn't there the kind of actress who accidentally steps off the entire skirt and then appears in the photo?"
"Haha, Jack, this is a good idea. After you enter the venue later, I suggest you go to Sophie Marceau and apply for her publicity manager..."
However, at this time, just as everyone on the "Dallas Buyers Club" crew was having a heated discussion, there was suddenly a burst of noise and footsteps behind them.
Chen Fei subconsciously turned his head and saw Harvey, who was leading many media reporters, walking towards him.
He didn't react at all, but silently watched the big fat man approaching, secretly guessing in his heart, what kind of trouble is this guy going to do?
"Hi, Fei, nice to meet you here." Harvey took the initiative to say hello as he approached.
Chen Fei raised his lips slightly, stretched out his hand and shook his hand gently. Both of them had bright smiles on their faces, as if they were good friends who talked about everything.
"Harvey, I'm glad to see you here too. We should hold a friendly boxing match for this meeting. Do you want to come and join in?"
Hearing the sound, Harvey's face froze, he calmly let go of his hand, and slowly took two steps back.
It wasn't until the bodyguards following him immediately came to his left and right that he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said in a seemingly flattering tone:
"Fei, I heard that you are determined to win the Golden Lion Award this year? I watched the trailer of "Dallas Buyers Club" before, and it is indeed very good. I wish you in advance to win the award."
When he said this, he deliberately raised his voice, so that other crew members who were competing for awards frequently looked at him sideways.
Chen Fei noticed that there were many reporters at the scene who took pictures of the conversation between the two, and some even took out their recorders and recorded everything Harvey had just said.
As soon as his thoughts changed, he suddenly understood.
"Huh? Are you playing tricks on your father and me?"
Before Harvey could react, Chen Fei directly counterattacked him: "I have actually won a Golden Lion before, and this time I came here mainly to promote the new movie and prepare for the Oscars.
As for the award selection, I actually don’t care, after all, I already have it.
And more importantly, when it comes to winning prizes, Harvey, you are the most professional one. I believe that "The Master" will definitely achieve great success under your leadership! "
As soon as these words appeared, the eyes of everyone around him turned to Harvey.
Chen Fei obviously noticed that several producers looked very unkindly and seemed to have some deep resentment and dissatisfaction with Harvey.
Seeing that his flattery was easily resolved, although Harvey felt a little regretful in his heart, his expression did not change at all.
“If you have time, remember to come to the premiere of ‘The Master’.”
After the courtesy ended, he quickly moved away from Chen Fei and joined Paul Thomas Anderson and others not far away.
Seeing Chen Fei walking to the red carpet led by the Venice Film Festival staff, Harvey looked back at his assistant: "Did Michael Mann send a message this morning?"
The assistant shook his head slightly: "Not really."
He did not feel nervous or confused because of this, but raised his head quite confidently: "Judging from Michael Mann's behavior last night, he must have been moved by the conditions I proposed.
The reason why there was no response was probably to avoid suspicion.
In this way, you help me prepare the invitation letter, and I will personally invite him to the premiere of "The Master", and by the way, I will add some chips to Taiping. "
Paul Thomas Anderson stood silent.
In terms of competing for awards, he felt that Harvey was completely in control of everything. As a film director, he only needed to follow the flag and shout, and there was no need to make any suggestions.
And that's exactly what Harvey had in mind.
He liked the feeling of being in control.
At the same time, he is also very confident and thinks that he will definitely win the grand prize this time!
Having secured the chairman of the jury, Michael Mann, and reached an agreement with Laetitia Casta and Chen Kexin, the Golden Lion will definitely be within reach at this Venice Film Festival!
…
When the cast members of "Dallas Buyers Club" walked on the red carpet, not surprisingly, they once again received a wave of heat and attention.
European three gold medals, Oscar winner, Venice Silver Lion winner...
This lineup can definitely be called the most luxurious team at this Venice Film Festival!
After a series of photos, interviews, signatures, etc., Chen Fei led everyone into the main venue of the opening ceremony.
"I'm going to make a phone call first."
He said hello to a few people, then found a relatively secluded corner of the venue and dialed Hattie Politoffer's phone.
"I have new ideas." He said bluntly: "Harvey deliberately complimented me today in front of many crew members who have entered the main competition unit, hoping to make other crew members more wary of me, and even target and attack me."
On the other end of the phone, Hattie's expression changed suddenly!
Praise!
Definitely a hit!
However, just when she was about to say something, Chen Fei's voice sounded again: "I think we can use this method to deal with Harvey in turn."
As a professional public relations manager, Harty quickly understood what he meant and had new ideas.
"On the premise of praising "The Master" produced by Weinstein Pictures, we can deliberately disparage the other films that have been shortlisted for the main competition..."
"That's a good idea!"
After chatting for a few more minutes, the two roughly refined their follow-up plan.
How to operate specifically is Hattie's business. As an employer, all Chen Fei needs to do is pay remuneration and put forward constructive suggestions.
The opening film is the work of Indian director Meera Nair: "Strangers in Lahore Tea House".
The film itself was not shortlisted for the main competition. In addition, "dance" occupies a very large space in Indian films, so the audience's enthusiasm was not very high.
When it was time for the banquet after the premiere, the dull atmosphere was finally heated up!
Chen Fei greeted all the jury members except Chen Kexin and the jury chairman Michael Mann in turn and exchanged contact information.
His public relations played a big role.
When Michael Mann looked at him, his eyes seemed to glow with hope!
While hugging him, Chen Fei whispered in his ear: "Michael, believe me, you and Oscar will definitely have a beautiful fate."
"Fei, I'd like to lend you some good words." Michael Mann was very happy and also gave his own promise: ""Dallas Buyers Club" is a great film, and it definitely deserves all the awards!"
All the films participating in the main competition unit have already completed production, and the films themselves cannot continue to make more articles, so the competition for awards has naturally shifted from the films themselves to other aspects.
Just like now, in addition to Chen Fei, other producers and directors are also contacting the jury members, hoping to win a heavyweight award.
Chen Fei saw Harvey who was chatting happily with Chen Kexin, and there was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of his mouth.
Defeating your opponent from the place where he is best and most proud will definitely cause him to break his defense!
Just thinking about it, Chen Fei couldn't hold back his excitement.
He is now looking forward to the closing ceremony of the Venice Film Festival!
