198 Unexpected Rewards
The awards ceremony of the Venice Film Festival is basically arranged on the last day of the film festival in order to save the media until the last day. After all, as the award ceremony of the three major film festivals in the world, most professional media will not miss it. However,
Compared with the most lively period of the film festival, the awards ceremony has been much deserted. Not to mention that some of the popular private award ceremonies on the periphery have been closed down. Even some officially invited to the Venice Film Festival to participate in the Venice Film Festival have already confirmed their awards.
The unfavorable crew is almost gone.
The only people who are still staying at the film festival are probably the crew who were invited by the organizing committee over the phone and representatives from several large film distribution companies. The crew who were notified by the organizing committee by phone certainly know that their films have a high chance of winning awards.
Although I don’t know what the award is, winning it means that the film will be sold at a high price and it will make a big hit at the box office when I return home, so I am naturally happy to stay.
Large film distribution companies come here for award-winning films. Although the buyout prices for films at film festivals are not high, it also depends on whether they have won an award or not, and what kind of award they have won. Even if the director is unknown
, the actor is also a newcomer, but as long as he wins the Golden Lion Award, the buyout price of this movie will definitely jump from less than ten thousand US dollars to more than one million US dollars. Usually, only large-scale movies are released at this buyout price.
The company is still capable, but small publishing companies will definitely not be able to.
Lin Junxiu's "Midnight Flight" has the second-highest official screening score so far, second only to Iranian director Jafar Panahi's "Circle of Life"; however, in terms of box office revenue, "Midnight Flight" has
It's a perfect match. Generally speaking, Westerners have an aesthetic threshold for Eastern movies; of course, the reverse is also true. However, many of the contents of Lin Junxiu's movie are directly expressed through the movie screen, and the lines required are very large.
It is few and very simple, so with the help of subtitles, it is not difficult to understand.
Although Lin Junxiu himself defines this movie as a literary film, it has to be said that Lin Junxiu lacks the talent to shoot literary films. "Midnight Flight" is still a movie with a strong commercial atmosphere. But precisely because of the strong commercial atmosphere, it is more
Compared with most true literary films, it is much more attractive, thus pushing up the box office of this movie.
"The only film companies that are still in contact with us are Miramax, a subsidiary of the Disney Group, and France's Gaumont and EMI." Toho's representative Lin Junxiu said, "In terms of bidding, Miramax is relatively good.
Sincerity.”
The three distribution companies mentioned by Toho are also the most important distribution companies of artistic films in the world. Miramax is more capable in the North American market, while Gaumont and EMI are capable in the European market. But in terms of box office division,
Said, obviously the North American market is more important.
However, Junxiu Lin really doesn’t have a good impression of Harvey, the president of Miramax. It’s not that Junxiu Lin is disgusted with Harvey’s “red sofa”. In Hollywood, there are too many things like using the body for shortcuts.
Okay. As long as Harvey doesn't use coercion or inducement and other actresses voluntarily go to sit on the "red sofa", what else is there to say? As for some people who used the "red sofa" to get their way into the career ladder, and later borrowed rice
The Rabbit Movement came back to bite some of Harvey's fans, and Lin Junxiu could only hold his flowers and smile.
Lin Junxiu knew that these things he was thinking would cause the author of this book to be "punished", but the problem is that there are many successful women in Hollywood who have reached the top by relying on their own abilities. Are there few female producers in Hollywood?
?Are there many female executives in Hollywood? If we want to correct gender inequality in the workplace and break the "glass ceiling" for female promotions, Lin Junxiu will definitely support it. But if it is like the Mi Rabbit movement, it will be a complete "witch hunt"
What's the point of it? With the so-called Mi Rabbit, Johnny Depp has been tortured enough. And Depp is not the worst, so what does it mean if someone is forced to commit suicide because of it?
I'm going too far. What Lin Junxiu hates about Harvey is that this man's "spirit of contract" is simply touching. You can call him a "fraudster" without any problem. His favorite thing is to deliberately give high prices to foreign countries.
The crew then signed a memorandum that had no legal effect, and then relied on the memorandum to eliminate all potential opponents, and then in turn forced the crew to sell the copyright at a low price. Harvey's kind of cunning operations are not limited to Chinese directors.
He has suffered losses, and other national directors in the non-mainstream film industry have also been cheated. Although Dongbao's legal staff can prevent Harvey from manipulating him, Lin Junxiu is still a bit of a moral freak and decided not to cooperate with him.
The remaining Gaumont and EMI are not only old French film companies, but also one of the earliest film companies in the world. EMI used to be the global film leader before the rise of Hollywood, but unfortunately they have since fallen. Although EMI and
Gaumont has funding support from the French government, but they have basically reached a dead end by clinging to the art film route.
If I remember correctly, next year the two companies will merge into Gaumont EMI Film Company, starting a two-legged path of commercial films and literary films. But now, the two companies are not one family. The company logo is a chicken
Gao Meng, and EMI, whose company logo is a chrysanthemum, Lin Junxiu fell deeply into thinking, should he choose a rooster or a daisy?
The red carpet of the award ceremony is actually not as lively as the opening ceremony, but there are still people doing it. Don't think that it is the first time for Chinese actresses to do it. In fact, long before the likes of Bing Bing, European actresses have been having fun.
Time, falling and falling are all trivial matters. Have you ever seen a case where all the clothes on the body are gone while walking, and the whole body is standing on the red carpet? Compared with the fairies in Europe who have been practicing for thousands of years, these domestic practitioners have
A little demon who is only a few hundred years old is not in the same rank at all!
Of course, Lin Junxiu will not play this "walking around until his clothes are gone" meme. After all, the audience does not need to see a boy's body. What is more important is that he is still a boy! Remember, he is a boy.
, whoever dares to publish his photo will be arrested by the police of his country!
Lin Junxiu is wearing a very decent suit. Of course, it is not customized by Savile Row. After all, Savile Row is not the only place in the world where you can get high-end suits. Although Savile Row's "Anderson and Shepherd" and several other
The store is a so-called special high-end order, commonly known as "Bull Demon King level". But after all, suits are divided into British, Italian and American styles, so Italy also has its own high-end brand. Although it can't be said to be special, it can still be regarded as high-end.
It's quasi-special.
However, whether it is the serious British style or the relatively lively Italian style, it is actually very unfriendly to the Japanese. Because most Japanese people have slouched shoulders, and British and Italian suits require a tall and straight figure to support them.
Although high-end tailors can now use shoulder pads to correct their figure, it is still difficult for Japanese people with slippery shoulders to wear British and Italian suits.
Fortunately, Lin Junxiu's figure is quite tall and straight, and he doesn't have the sloppy shoulders of ordinary Japanese, so the suits made by Lin Junxiu in Italy are pretty good. Lin Junxiu's suit brand is Kiton, which is an elegant route. After all, Lin Junxiu's appearance
It can't support the macho style. Although it is also custom-made, it is strictly Made-to-Measure, that is, semi-custom. It is not completely tailor-made, but it will be fine-tuned according to the body shape.
In any case, a suit is indeed a man's uniform. After putting on the suit, Lin Junxiu immediately lost the childishness of a high school student and became more "manly". This made Lin Junxiu decide to take time to go to Savile in the future.
Going to "Anderson & Shepard" or "Hertzmann" to get a truly custom-made suit will definitely make your male hormones go off the charts, right?
The Venice Film Festival awards ceremony did not have a song and dance performance, it was more like an internal commendation meeting. Not long after Lin Junxiu took his seat, he was called to the stage because Lin Junxiu received the Special Lion Award. This is awarded by the Venice Film Festival to new directors.
Although the awards will not affect several major awards, it is basically determined that the Silver Lion Award for Best Director has nothing to do with Junxiu Lin.
This makes Lin Junxiu a little regretful. The best director is the greatest recognition for a director. However, if he can win a special Lion Award, he will still be in the news for a few days after returning to Japan. Lin Junxiu behaved and addressed the jury on the stage.
, the organizing committee, crew members and the audience expressed their thanks, and then made a commercial boast about the Venice Film Festival. Lin Junxiu prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the organizing committee and the jury would look at these rainbow farts and give him one next time
Silver Lion Award!
After winning the Special Lion Award, the crew is actually satisfied. Because there are not too many cases where the film festival becomes popular and fails, a film like Lin Junxiu that ranks second in the program can easily be considered not "artistic" enough by the jury, so it can
Winning the Special Lion Award for Best New Director is good. But to the surprise of the crew, about half an hour later, Lin Junxiu came on stage again. This time Lin Junxiu received the Golden Osera Award for Best Screenplay.
This greatly surprised Lin Junxiu.
The Golden Osela Award is divided into two parts. One is the Technical Contribution Award, which mainly rewards cinematographers and occasionally is awarded to editors; the other is the Best Screenplay Award. However, it is divided into the Best Original Screenplay and Best Screenplay with the Oscars.
Different from the Best Adapted Screenplay, the Golden Osela Award for Best Screenplay is rarely awarded to an adapted screenplay. However, it is estimated that Lin Junxiu himself is the author of the original script, so the jury made an exception. Compared with the Special Lion Award, the Best Screenplay Award
Even if it is a grand prize, even the "Grand Slam" of the Oscars stipulates that in addition to the best picture, best director, and best actor and actress, it must also win the best screenplay (regardless of adaptation or original work).
After winning two awards in a row, the Venice Film Festival actually gave Lin Junxiu the Special Jury Award. According to history, this award should be for the film "The Dawn Will Never Come" directed by Julian Schnabel. Well,
"The Dawn Will Never Come" is a biopic about the life of Cuban gay poet Reinaldo Arenas; Lin Junxiu's film also tells the story of teenage homosexuality in Japanese schools. Is it a replacement of the same kind? Since there is no jury set up at this time
Grand Prize, so the Special Jury Award is the third largest award after the Golden Lion and Silver Lion, and is also the second best award for the film itself.
Lin Junxiu, who won three awards in a row, was naturally overjoyed and walked onto the stage for the third time. As the screenwriter, director and producer of "Midnight Flight", these three trophies actually belong to him. Of course, Toho Corporation
As a co-producer, TBS TV station also has a trophy each. Lin Junxiu has already thanked twice, so he gave the opportunity to speak to Toho, which is also a co-producer company. Since TBS TV station did not send a representative,
So Toho Company got a relatively long speech opportunity.
When he saw the representative of Dongbao Company choking up his thanks, Lin Junxiu was thinking silently, maybe TBS TV station is going crazy at this time? Although TBS TV station still has trophies, how can it stand in the international film industry?
So glorious to speak on the stage? In fact, when TBS received the news, several executives had gone completely crazy. At that time, they did not want to go to the Venice Film Festival because they were not optimistic about Lin Junxiu. Although Lin Junxiu got a group within the TV station
