Chapter 168 Crazy?
"Then is Director Wang confident that he will win the Golden Deer Award?" the female host asked again with a bright smile.
Wang Shu faced many cameras and said with a calm smile: "I have always been confident."
When the female host heard this, she smiled and asked again: "Director Wang Which of the shortlisted films do you think is most likely to compete with your "The Tuner" for the Golden Deer Award at this year's Changchun Film Festival? "
Wang Shu saw that the reporters around him were all looking forward to his participation. He did not disappoint everyone and said with a smile: "I think if there is a film that can compete with "The Tuner" for the Golden Deer Award, then I won't be confident."
"Since I said I have confidence, I also said that I am here for the Golden Deer Award."
"Then...in my heart, there must be no film that can compete with "The Tuner"."< br>
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar around him.
Crazy!
That’s crazy!
A 20-year-old young director is crazy!
Jiang Wenli stood beside Wang Shu with a wry smile on her face.
She knew that Wang Shu was straight, but she didn’t expect that Wang Shu would say these words straight.
Although this may be the case, saying it openly is extremely offending.
Among the shortlisted films are Chen Kexin's "If Love", Huo Jianqi's "Lovers' Knot", Er Dongsheng's "Precocious", as well as "Taihang Mountain", "Ren Changxia", "Tokyo Trial", etc. work.
Wang Shu's words simply offended everyone on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
“Alas, young people just can’t keep calm.” Jiang Wenli sighed in her heart.
She knew that Wang Shu did not want to come to Changchun Film Festival, but later had to come to Changchun Film Festival for some reasons.
For some reasons, "The Tuner" was not awarded the Golden Deer Award at the Changchun Film Festival.
Wang Shu is a director who won an award at Cannes, and "The Tuner" is a work that won an award at Cannes.
When I came to the unknown Changchun Film Festival, not only could I not win the grand prize, but I also had to support others.
I don’t even want to come.
Everyone has resentment in his heart!
What's more, Wang Shu is only 20 years old, at the time when he is young and energetic!
The female host was stunned. She didn’t expect Wang Shu to say these words. She didn’t know how to answer the question for a moment. She was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It seems that Director Wang is indeed Very confident.”
After finishing speaking, he quickly changed the subject and said: "I heard that Director Wang came to the Changchun Film Festival this time. In addition to the entry "The Tuner", he also brought another work?"
< br>Wang Shu responded with a smile: "Yes, we also brought a new film "Time Traveler". This film is expected to be released in theaters nationwide on September 29 for everyone to meet."
The female host then asked, "I heard that the crew of "Space Traveler" has also come to the scene?"
Wang Shu said with a smile: "I will go to the red carpet later to meet you. Together with the crew of "Time Traveler"
The female host has stopped talking about this topic, waiting for Wang Shu and "Time Traveler" to be interviewed on the red carpet again.
Then, the interview with Jiang Wenli began.
Wang Shu left first because he was going back to walk the red carpet again with the crew of "Space Traveler".
At this Changchun Film Festival, not only Wang Shu came with his "Love Traveler", but Feng Xiaogang also brought the crew of "The Banquet" to the closing red carpet.
Both of them have the same purpose, they are taking advantage of the Changchun Film Festival to promote their upcoming movies.
Wang Shu turned around and met Sun Li and Liu Yan who were already in the waiting area.
This time, not all the main creative staff of the "Love Traveler" crew came, only Sun Li, Liu Yan, and Wang Shu.
As the male and female protagonists of the film, Wang Shu and Sun Li should have participated in the promotion of the film.
Bringing Liu Yan on board, there are protagonists, supporting actors and a director, which is just right.
When the people around saw Wang Shu approaching, they all turned their attention to him.
It’s not that these people heard what Wang Shu said during the interview on the red carpet just now, but he is Wang Shu.
Wang Shu, a young director who wrote his own script and won the Best Actress Award at Cannes.
Many actresses look at Sun Li with envy. Being chosen by Wang Shu as the heroine of the film is definitely a blessing.
Although it is a commercial film and it will obviously not go to the three major European film festivals, this film will definitely be included in film festivals in China, Taiwan, Taiwan and Taiwan next year.
Some people are also talking about Liu Yan and his origins.
When I learned that Liu Yan was just a newcomer to Enlight Media, but was chosen by Wang Shu as the second female lead in the movie, I was even more sad.
While I was sour, I was also very excited.
Whether it is Sun Li as the heroine, or Liu Yan as the second female lead, the choice of these two roles truly shows that Wang Shu's selection of actors depends entirely on personal preference.
As long as you can catch Wang Shu’s eye, you can get the role!
Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming and others saw Wang Shu talking to Sun Li and Liu Yan from a distance, with different expressions.
Zhou Xun's eyes lit up and he said: "Director Feng, I see someone I know, go over and say hello."
Feng Xiaogang knew through Wang Zhonglei that Zhou Xun was selected as the heroine of Wang Shu's next movie and why Zhou Xun would take over Wang Shu's idol drama, so he smiled and said: "Go, we will wait for you here."
He claims to be the most powerful commercial film director in China, and Zhang Ziyi has gone international again. In addition, both of them are older than Wang Shu in terms of age and qualifications. Naturally, they will not take the initiative to say hello to Wang Shu, but They will keep their posture and wait for others to greet them politely.
"Director Wang." Zhou Xun approached Wang Shu and suddenly shouted.
Wang Shu was startled and asked in surprise when he saw it was Zhou Xun: "Are you here too?"
Hearing this, Zhou Xun looked a little surprised. Humming: "It seems that Director Wang is not paying attention to this Changchun Film Festival? If he was, how could he not know that I was also nominated for the Best Actress Award?"
After hearing this, Sun Li and Liu Yan had a preliminary understanding of the relationship between Wang Shu and Zhou Xun.
The two knew each other and had a good relationship because of their cooperation in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
But it's not very intimate.
Otherwise, as one of the guests attending the Changchun Film Festival, Wang Shu would not have known that Zhou Xun was nominated for the Best Actress at the Changchun Film Festival.
This would only happen if Wang Shu didn't pay much attention to Zhou Xun.
"Uh" Wang Shugan laughed twice, and then replied with a broken voice: "You are right, I really don't pay much attention to this film festival, plus I am busy filming every day, and I just got here today. , how do you know who was nominated for Best Actress? "
"Isn't Teacher Jiang Wenli nominated? Don't you even know that Teacher Jiang Wenli was nominated for Best Actress?" Zhou Xun gave Wang Shu a look. , "When you were talking to Teacher Jiang Wenli, didn't you talk about who was nominated for Best Actress?"
"Uh," Wang Shu explained truthfully, "I came to the scene. I just met Sister Wen Li, and I have never talked about these things."
Zhou Xun looked at Wang Shu and saw that Wang Shu did not seem to be cheating, so he didn't say much.
Sun Li and Liu Yan saw the opportunity and began to take the initiative to say hello to Zhou Xun.
The two have now made a clear judgment that Wang Shu and Zhou Xun are indeed friends.
Only for ordinary friends with good relationship.
After Zhou Xun responded politely to Sun Li and Liu Yan, he said: "I just came from Director Feng, do you want to go over and say hello?"
She initially Not with the crew of "The Night Banquet", but with the crew of Chen Kexin's "If Love".
Later I saw Feng Xiaogang and others, so I walked over to say hello. While talking to Feng Xiaogang and others, he saw Wang Shu again, and then turned to Wang Shu's side.
"Director Feng is here too?" Wang Shu asked pretending to be surprised.
Since Zhou Xun said so, Wang Shu could not pretend not to see it.
"Well, I brought the crew of "The Night Banquet" to promote the movie." Zhou Xun explained.
"Okay, let's go there." Wang Shu glanced at Sun Li and Liu Yan, and then said.
The three of them followed Zhou Xun to where Feng Xiaogang and others were.
When Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Ziyi and others saw Wang Shu approaching, they did not continue to maintain their posture, but took a few steps forward to greet Wang Shu's arrival.
The group of people greeted each other politely for a while, then Feng Xiaogang asked with a smile: "Director Wang, are you confident that you will win the Golden Deer Award at this Changchun Film Festival?"
Wang Shu He answered with a smile, "When I was on the red carpet with "The Tuner" just now, the host asked me this question, and I made it clear that I was confident."
"Oh?" Feng Xiaogang was a little surprised, Speaking in private is different from saying it in front of the camera. Is the young man in front of me so brave?
Zhang Ziyi was also quite surprised and asked: "Dr. Wang really said that?"
Wang Shu moved his eyes to Zhang Ziyi, looked at the bellyband enthusiast, and said with a smile: "Host Not only did they ask me if I was confident of winning the Golden Deer Award, but they also asked me if there was any film that could compete with "The Tuner" for the Golden Deer Award."
"I said no."
"." Zhang Ziyi was speechless.
How awesome is this to answer the host’s interview like that?
Feng Xiaogang took a deep look at Wang Shu after hearing this. He knew some things. He suddenly made a guess in his heart, and then smiled and said: ""The Tuner" is indeed an excellent work, and there is a high possibility that it will be... Won the grand prize.”
He didn’t want to delve into this topic, so he just said polite words that he was optimistic about “The Tuner”.
When Zhang Ziyi heard what Feng Xiaogang said, she also took a taste of it. She smiled and changed the subject and said: "I just saw the trailer of Wang Shu's new drama in the screening hall. The male protagonist travels through time and space, setting It’s very novel. After watching the trailer, I couldn’t wait to go into the cinema.”
Knowing that Zhang Ziyi was talking politely, Wang Shu responded with a smile: “If everyone sees the trailer. It would be great if the movie’s audience could be as eager to enter the cinema as Sister Ziyi.”
Zhang Ziyi rolled her eyes at Wang Shu and said, “You think so.”
< br>
If it were any other young director, given Zhang Ziyi's status, they would definitely not talk in this manner.
What if... Wang Shu is both talented and capable, and has won the Best Actress Award at Cannes.
It’s different.
In Zhang Ziyi’s eyes, she is also a piece of cake.
As an actor who has gone international and worked in Hollywood for a while.
Zhang Ziyi clearly knows that Hollywood actors, big and small, are all keen on the three major European awards.
Furthermore, whether an actor has status and strength depends on the three major European actor awards.
If you want to gain a foothold on the international stage, the three major European actor awards are an extremely important part.
Zhang Ziyi not only knows this point, but also feels it deeply.
Because, before she appeared in "Memoirs of a Geisha", she could only be said to be rushing internationally.
It was only after starring in "Memoirs of a Geisha" that she became internationally known.
Only art films have gold content.
The name International Chapter therefore has a real meaning in the country.
Huang Xiaoming watched eagerly from the side, eager to find an opportunity to talk to Wang Shu.
But before he could find the opportunity, the on-site staff came to signal Wang Shu, Sun Li, and Liu Yan to the crew of "Space Traveler" to take their place on the red carpet.
Wang Shu and the others had no choice but to politely apologize to Feng Xiaogang and others, and then left with the staff on site.
"Time Traveler" comes this time not only to use the closing red carpet of the Changchun Film Festival to promote the film, but also to bring a trailer for screening.
The film's distributor is China Film, and China Film has always been responsible for the promotion and distribution, with assistance from Wang Shu's Yishu Company.
It's not that Wang Shu's Yishu Company doesn't want to be responsible for the distribution of the movie, but it's just that he can't touch it now.
Even Huayi only had some ability to distribute films after a joint venture with Xiying Film Studio, and it still distributed its own films.
Hengdian Film and Television is also a joint venture with China Film.
This thing is a business without capital, just sitting on the ground and making money.
At present, it is impossible for private companies to get involved in the distribution rights of movies except for joint ventures with corresponding state-owned enterprises.
Let’s not talk about China, let’s talk about the United States. Distribution rights and theater chains are also untouchable.
Hollywood can tolerate independent filmmakers because independent filmmakers are also leeks.
If the movies made by independent filmmakers make a lot of money at the box office, then the distributors and theaters will also make a lot of money, so they will naturally not kill all independent filmmakers.
Correspondingly, as long as someone wants to get involved in the distribution rights and theater chains, they will have to see blood.
The three of them walked to the starting point of the red carpet. Sun Li and Liu Yan, one on the left and one on the right, walked onto the red carpet holding Wang Shu's arm respectively.
Sun Li and Liu Yan were both wearing formal dresses. They had not even taken a few steps with Wang Shu on their arms and attracted the attention of many reporters.
Liu Yan is a newcomer and has the idea of promoting his position.
The dress she wears is quite eye-catching.
Sun Li's dress is relatively conservative.
Of course, Liu Yan can attract attention because of his material.
Sun Li's material is relatively small, so even if she wanted to wear it like this, she wouldn't be able to achieve the effect Liu Yan wore on her body.
In fact, she really didn’t want to walk on the red carpet with Liu Yan ever since she saw Liu Yan’s dress.
Because, as the saying goes, there is no harm without contrast.
Walking together with Liu Yan in a dress, it was easy to compare the sizes.
Liu Yan is a newcomer, but she is already quite famous.
It is very unacceptable to be Liu Yan's foil in some aspects.
Naihe, they are all actors in "Time Traveler".
However, it was just the two of them and Wang Shu here.
We can only...walk on the red carpet together.
