The Venice Film Festival, one of the four major film festivals in the world, is also the latest film festival held every year. Under normal circumstances, the Oscars are held the earliest, starting in the second and third months of each year.
Then came the Cannes Film Festival in May. In June and July there is the Berlin Film Festival, and then in the second half of the year there is only the Venice Film Festival.
Among them, Venice, Cannes and Berlin Film Festival are also called the three major European film festivals because the Oscars are American.
Yang Dongxu stayed in New York for more than a week, and after taking care of the things at hand, he went straight to Italy. It happened to catch up with the film festival, and Chen Hong was also in Italy, so the two of them came over to join in the fun.
"I heard that director Ang Lee has a good chance of winning the Golden Lion Award this year, but I don't know if it's true?" Chen Hong put her arm around Yang Dongxu, and the two of them walked out of a movie theater like an ordinary couple.
Whenever a film festival is held, it is also the busiest time for movie theaters. It seems that just looking at the stars and directors without watching a few popular award-winning movies seems to be lacking.
"It's very promising. After all, the movie he made was very controversial, but everyone thought it was good." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
Although it is important for a Chinese to win the Golden Lion Award, it is not an unprecedented event. Because Zhang Guoshi had won this award many years ago, not just once but twice.
To be honest, although many people in China feel that Feng Xiaopao, Zhang Guoshi, and "The Promise" Cheng Kaixuan are three of the few famous directors at the top of the pyramid.
But in terms of international influence, Zhang Guoshi is actually better than Feng Xiaopao. Although Cheng Kaixuan has lost his character after filming "The Promise", he is also a person who has won awards internationally. Compared with Feng Xiaopao, Cheng Kaixuan has Slightly higher.
Director Ang Lee, who won the Golden Lion Award for "Brokeback Mountain" this year, will also join the list of famous directors. Of course, this famous director refers to his popularity in the country.
In fact, Ang Lee has been a well-known director in foreign film festivals for a long time. He won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, and the Berlin Film Festival Golden Bear Award.
The Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. The four major film industries have won a Grand Slam this year. In terms of the number of awards alone, they are even more powerful than Zhang Guoshi. They are simply walking award-winning machines. .
"Do you want Hainer to invite him to make some movies?" Chen Hong asked with some anticipation.
As a former actress, she undoubtedly has an inexplicable respect for directors, especially such a big director who wins awards in the international arena, which is where all the stars compete to work with.
It doesn't matter if you don't get paid, after all, as long as you can win international awards, then you can break out of Asia and go global. Even though there are many award-winning leading actors in Chinese-language films, few seem to have successfully entered Hollywood in the end, but they can still be praised for many years by walking on the red carpet and returning home.
These days, everyone is more concerned about their appearance, so some people may have thought about things like walking on the red carpet, but they haven't lost their temper yet to do so.
As for the hype, it is mainly based on scandals and gossip, and there are various foreign pheasant awards that cost no money and even cannot find the venue and organizer. There is no one who wants to use this to inflate their worth and fame.
Everyone is also very active in wanting to participate in some artistic films, and then walk on the red carpet in a legitimate way. If they can go on stage to receive an award, it will be a lifetime honor.
"If there are suitable opportunities for him to make movies, you can invest. As for asking him to make movies specifically, it is a bit unnecessary. In terms of Chinese-language films, China is already at the top of the pyramid.
So there is no need to win various awards to enhance his fame and status. Spending so much time to invite him to make a movie is just the icing on the cake at best.
In Hollywood, the current pace of development of Heiner is to follow Hollywood blockbusters, and they are commercial blockbusters, and artistic ones are not considered for the time being.
After all, we have to lead those Americans to make more movies and make more money, and then our path in Hollywood will become wider and wider. Who doesn’t want the projects we collaborate on to always make money? Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
Whether it is Chinese Haina or American Haina, they have passed the stage of hiring some famous directors or big stars to build a foundation for their reputation.
Nowadays, the demands are basically for future planning and business interests, so it is really not necessary to specifically ask Ang Lee to direct and make a blockbuster to win awards.
"We can also take some big domestic stars to the red carpet or something." Chen Hong couldn't help but say.
"Do you want to leave? Do you want me to take you for a walk?" Yang Dongxu looked at Chen Hong funny.
Although Chen Hong was dedicated when she was an actor, she didn't seem to care much about awards and red carpet appearances. She has been out of acting for who knows how many years, and she seems to have started to have various emotions.
People are like this. Things that are easily available always feel dispensable. When things are difficult to obtain, they feel strange and want to have them.
Yang Dongxu's words made Chen Hong's eyes brighten obviously, and then he smiled and shook his head, "Forget it, I won't go up to join in the fun after you have been dead for so many years."
It is indeed not difficult for her or Yang Dongxu to just walk on the red carpet. Even if they are on the red carpet of the four major film festivals, they just walk casually.
Needless to say, Yang Dongxu, in addition to being the big boss of Heiner, is also the boss of the NBA super team 76ers. Now the 76ers are creating their own legend and launching an attack on the Triple Crown.
His social influence and reputation are huge, not to mention that in addition to the 76ers, Yang Dongxu is also the owner of the Barcelona Club.
In addition to the team, he is also the owner of Maserati. In short, he can walk on the red carpet with dignity in any capacity, and is more popular with film festival organizers than those celebrities.
After all, it is a must to have bright stars at the film festival, and there is no shortage of superstars. But celebrities from all walks of life are scarce resources.
Let's put it this way, celebrities participate in film festivals to win awards and increase their own status. When celebrities attend film festivals, they do so to increase the value of the film festival. The two are not on the same level at all.
Needless to say, Chen Hong, Haina’s shareholder, Haina, has invested in filming or independently filmed many popular Hollywood commercial films in recent years.
If she wants to attend a film festival and walk down the red carpet, if she reveals her intention a little bit, the film festival will send an invitation directly to her doorstep, and the seats will be the best.
But just walking on the red carpet to watch the fun, rather than receiving an award, seems a little less interesting. So Chen Hong shook his head and decided not to join in the fun.
"If you have nothing to do here, go back to your country. If you have nothing to do, don't run around with my aunt. After staying with her for a long time, I feel like you are going to become a monk."
He was obviously a little excited, but then he calmed down and finally became boring. Chen Hong is becoming more and more Buddhist now.
"How can you say that about your elders?" Chen Hong slapped her angrily.
"The elders haven't heard you call me aunt when we meet?" Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
She was given an angry look by Chen Hong, who looked very charming and blushed a little.
The meaning of this sentence is undoubtedly that when you marry a chicken, you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Yang Dongxu has already called Ran Feifei aunt, and Chen Hong needs to shout along with Ran Feifei regardless of the age difference.
"Qing'er is here." Not long after leaving the cinema, a fashionable and dashing Zhuo Qing'er walked over.
Now Zhuo Qing'er's dressing style is getting closer and closer to neutral beauty, and she has the feeling of Wan Qian, a later film and television star. Quite often when you are in love, the urge to become sworn brothers seems to outweigh the sweetness of love...
Nowadays, Chinese embroidery design is very popular abroad, and it goes without saying that it is a frequent visitor to fashion weeks. Some fashionable clothing that incorporates Chinese elements has gradually begun to appear in film festivals.
The four major film festivals are events for directors and stars, as well as major clothing brands and cars. If a star's outfit is outstanding, it will not only add a lot of buzz to himself after the film festival, but also make the clothing company that designed the outfit become popular.
Therefore, the superstars at every film festival and the competition between stars are superficial. Secretly, major clothing manufacturers and even car manufacturers who go to the red carpet are racking their brains in order to make their products more outstanding.
"Have the arrangements been made over there?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"It has been arranged for a long time. In fact, most of the work is in the hotel. Many designs are changed again and again. After the makeup is set, I try it on again and again. On the contrary, this period of time is the most leisurely before going on the red carpet.
Just make sure you don't go wrong according to the previous plan. I came here to see the lights on the podium at night. Some of the lights shining down will affect the color of the reflective lining of the clothes. "
Zhuo Qing'er said, then walked to the other side of Yang Dongxu and reached out to hold his other arm. Yang Dongxu had a wry smile on his lips, but Chen Hong didn't care.
We have been friends for so many years, and everyone knows what their relationship is and what they think.
Even if Yang Dongxu doesn't accept her, Zhuo Qinger will not find another male partner. Now she is focusing on clothing design and branding, and she is becoming more and more like a fashion devil. The most striking feature of this style is—— Not married.
"You two should stay away from my aunt in the future." There were beautiful women on both sides. He should have enjoyed all the blessings of everyone, but at this time he didn't feel the blessings, but he felt a little headache.
Chen Hong decided not to have children, while Zhuo Qing'er was unfaithful to other men besides him. In his opinion, they were all influenced by his aunt Ran Feifei.
Because a few years ago Ran Feifei was still thinking about not getting married and seeing if she could have a test-tube baby or something, but she could barely accept it.
But in the past few years, not only have I not gotten married, I also don’t want children. She clamored every day to ask Xiao Wenchen to support her in her old age.
After Xiao Wenwu was born, she said that she had another guarantee for her old age.
Now I am busy with the Yang family banquet in Yanjing. When I have nothing to do, I run to Bai Qian, saying that I want to cultivate a relationship with the little guy. A little kid who can't talk can cultivate a stupid relationship.
Then during this period of time, she began to flirt with Li Fuzhen again, and wholeheartedly persuaded Li Fuzhen to have a daughter, so that she would have both children, as if the child was hers.
