Chapter 277: Hyping to Death
Actually, Yang Ye had already planned this trip to Venice, and he expected to win the prize.
Because now is the weakest time of the Venice Film Festival, Yang Ye's arrival is a timely help.
Yang Ye is a little different from the big directors who win awards everywhere. He is the guarantee of the box office and is the target of global film companies.
So as soon as he came, film dealers from all over the world flocked to the festival, and the originally deserted Venice Film Festival became lively in an instant.
In the end, Venice reciprocated the favor and delivered a golden lion to Yang Ye.
Compared with Yang Ye's calmness, the people around Yang Ye were already crazy with joy.
Xu Feng looked at Yang Ye with admiration. Yang Ye and she hugged each other gently and said with a smile: "Come with me to receive the award!"
Xu Feng He nodded heavily, with a smile on his eyes and brows.
So, Yang Ye took her hand and walked steadily to the stage to receive the award. Xu Feng has already participated in this movie, so there is nothing wrong with going on stage to accept the award together!
Yangye already has a Golden Palm, and this time there is a Golden Lion. The only thing missing the top three European awards is a Golden Bear.
Now, he is the well-deserved NO.1 Chinese director.
And it is so far ahead that no one else can see his taillights.
It was not until the late 1980s that Chinese-language films shined at the three major European film festivals.
Since then, a large number of Chinese directors such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Edward Yang, Wong Kar-wai, Hui Anhua and others have become award-winning experts and won a lot of money at the three major film festivals.
But they just win prizes and have no box office.
Modern China was poor and weak, so it was very concerned about some foreign honors. Once obtained, not only would its creators gain fame and fortune, but all Chinese would also be honored.
Since Yang Ye had already won the Palme d'Or in Cannes before, this time, from the moment "Sediq Bale" was selected as the opening film, the media in Hong Kong and Taiwan took action.
Several wealthy media directly sent reporters to Venice, sending a steady stream of news related to Yang Ye back to Hong Kong and Taiwan.
As a result, Yang Ye was on the headlines of entertainment pages every day during this period.
Yang Ye appeared on the red carpet in Venice, "Sediq Bale" received rave reviews, European and American audiences cried after watching it, what events did Yang Ye attend, Yang Ye gave a speech in Venice...
< br>New broadcasts are made every day, and ATV spares no effort to promote the boss, broadcasting news about Yang Ye and "Sediq Bale" every day.
In this way, Yang Ye was slowly put into a situation where it was difficult to get off the tiger.
If "Sediq Bale" doesn't win several awards this time, it might really be laughed to death.
But once you really win the prize, the effect will be unprecedented!
……
Hong Kong!
A double-decker bus stopped at the stop.
A four-eyed boy rushed into the car as fast as he could, quickly found an empty seat at the back of the car, and sat down contentedly.
Seeing that the people getting on the bus behind him had to stand hard, he happily took out a newspaper.
"Damn it, I really won the prize!"
A young man standing next to him immediately turned his head when he heard this and looked at the newspaper in Siyan's hand!
“Damn it, Golden Lion Award!”
The attention of the passengers was immediately attracted, and they started talking about it.
Someone asked: "Is this award very powerful?"
"It's almost the same as the Palme d'Or in Cannes, but Yang Ye is really awesome!"
"I don't know if this "Wushe Uprising" is good or not!"
"Yang Ye's movie is also good. Is there anything bad about it?”
“Can it not look good after winning an award?”
“That’s not necessarily the case. The movie “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” won many awards, so I don’t think so. Beautiful.”
"You don't understand, don't you? "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a classic, okay? Lin Qingxia is so fascinating."
"What don't you understand? Yang Ye works hard to make it look good, in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" Yang Ye didn’t even bother to do anything, so he just jumped on the horse and fucked Lin Qingxia? "
"I haven't watched it for a long time. I'll buy a video tape later and recall it. Lin Qingxia is really awesome!"
"This "Wushe Uprising" is a war movie, right? I guess I don't want to do kung fu anymore."
"Shooting is also good to watch. Didn't Yang Ye look good shooting in "Terminator"?"
“I don’t know when it will be released. It takes a long time for Yang Ye to make a movie every time.”
“Yang Ye basically makes one movie a year, so his movies It’s just good-looking. Those who make five or six movies a year are all bad movies.”
……
Taiwan!
The front page of "JoongAng Ilbo" published the news that "Sediq Bale" won the Golden Lion Award.
“From this newspaper:
On the fifth day of August in the 70th year of the Republic of China, September 2, 1981, the 38th Venice Film Festival came to an end at the Lido Film Palace.
The war blockbuster "Wushe Uprising", co-produced in Taiwan and Hong Kong and directed by the famous director Yang Ye, won the highest honor, the Golden Lion Award
The picture shows director Yang Ye and actress Xu Feng teaming up to win the Golden Lion trophy!
The Venice Film Festival is the oldest film festival in the world. This is the third time that Director Yang Ye has won the top honor in the world film industry after the Oscars and Cannes.
Coincidentally, both "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Wushe Uprising" cooperated with Taiwan, were filmed in Taiwan, and featured a large number of Taiwanese actors.
It is reported that "Wushe Uprising" took five years and cost NT$300 million to create. It is the largest and most magnificent epic blockbuster in Taiwan's history.
The movie tells the story of Taiwan’s aboriginal people who resisted the Japanese invasion fifty years ago.
...Chinese-language newspapers in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and other countries also published the news that "Wushe Uprising" won the Golden Lion Award, and Yang Ye's name once again resounded throughout the Chinese world.
In fact, it is just a Golden Lion Award, which is far less sensational than winning the Oscar and Palme d'Or.
It is nothing compared to the time when he violently defeated the Japanese martial arts community and was awarded the title of "Anti-Japanese Hero", which inspired Chinese people all over the world.
This time it was mainly because of the hype. Because Yang Ye was so famous, as soon as "Sediq Bale" was shortlisted for the Golden Lion Award, the Chinese media spontaneously reported it.
And it is renovated every day, which means it is inevitable to win.
As a result, Yang Ye really lived up to expectations and won the golden lion back, so naturally he was in the limelight for a while.
When Yang Ye was in Venice, Chinese media followed and reported every day, which made him notice this situation long ago.
In this case, he simply made a desperate move and added fuel to the flames.
While cooperating with the hype, we worked hard to make copies and prepare for release.
There is no need to wait for the Lunar New Year release. The New Year release is already scheduled. It is directly scheduled for the Mid-Autumn Festival and will be released in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia.
Although Hong Kong does not have a holiday during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Taiwan does, and it is also followed by a National Day, which is considered a good time.
Also in Japan, although it is not news that Yang Ye won the Golden Lion Award, Kadokawa Haruki and his fellows have been hyping the scandal between Yang Ye and Yakushimaru Hiroko during this time.
So, he took advantage of the popularity and released the movie in Japan.
He plans to release "Sailor Suit and Machine Gun" immediately after "Sediq Bale" is released.
The main thing is hype, hype it to death!
After the Venice Film Festival ended, Yang Ye and his party stayed in Venice for a few more days to sign contracts with film producers before returning to Hong Kong.
There are actually three versions of Seediq Bale. One is the 150-minute international version, which is also released in Hong Kong.
The overall rhythm of this version is more compact, and a large number of subplots have been deleted, making the deeds of the protagonist Mona Rudo clearer.
And playing most of the time, it looks more enjoyable and more in line with the taste of theater movies.
The final ending is not as lengthy as the original version. The ending of the international version is that the last five warriors including Mona Rudo howl and rush across the suspension bridge.
The Japanese army opened fire, the suspension bridge was destroyed, and the soldiers were blown away. The movie ended abruptly here.
The Taiwan version is the longest, reaching four hours and twenty minutes. It is divided into two parts, "Flag of the Sun" and "Rainbow Bridge". It is the most complete version.
The Japanese version is called "Sakura in the Wind" and is also divided into two parts, "Flag of the Sun" and "Rainbow Bridge", but the duration is slightly shorter.
The ending is that after the war, the Japanese major general saw a cherry blossom forest, and the crimson cherry blossoms were blooming brilliantly. So, this guy made a sigh.
"Three hundred warriors resisted thousands of troops and committed suicide without fighting. Why do I see our samurai spirit that has disappeared for hundreds of years in this remote mountainous area of Taiwan? Are the cherry blossoms here blooming too brightly red?"< br>
This passage, from the perspective of the Japanese, puts forward the theory of the same origin of the samurai spirit, and creates admiration for the behavior of the aborigines.
Although this exclamation is very silly, but for the sake of box office, it is not shabby!
......
Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the women in Yang Ye go back to their respective homes to find their own mothers, but this year is a little different.
Early in the morning, Lin Fengjiao was learning pregnancy knowledge from the TV when she saw Xu Feng walking in with a little boy in his arms.
Lin Fengjiao has a somewhat submissive personality. Since she is with Yang Ye and is pregnant with a child, she accepts everything Yang Ye has to offer.
When he saw Xu Feng, he stepped forward to greet him very obediently, and said with a smile: "Sister Feng, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, this is Potato Bar, he is so handsome!"
Xu Feng Yang Tudou quickly put down Tudou, stepped forward to support Lin Fengjiao, and said with a smile: "We have known each other before, so there is no need to be so polite. Tudou, call me Auntie!"
Yang Tudou shouted in a sweet voice: "Hello, Auntie! ”
"So good!"
"Where is our husband?"
Lin Fengjiao said a little sourly: "In the room with that Guan Jiahui..."
Xu Feng was speechless and said : "This bad guy, you are pregnant, and he is making trouble in front of you."
Lin Fengjiao didn't know how to continue, so she simply changed the subject and said: "Sister Feng, you are here, I have a problem. I want to ask you! ”
As he spoke, he asked Xu Feng for advice on parenting. Xu Feng was usually taciturn, but now he actually knew everything and chatted happily with Lin Fengjiao. It was a miracle.
Xu Feng is different from others. For her, Yang Ye is the one who pulls her out of the pit of fire.
She has a combination of gratitude, love, appreciation, worship and other emotions for Yang Ye.
In short, Yang Ye is her god, and she can die for Yang Ye.
So she didn't care at all when Yang Ye found a few women outside. Anyway, Yang Ye didn't like the new and hate the old. He loved her very much and never neglected her.
The two were chatting happily when Zhao Yazhi came with Yang Ritian.
On the contrary, Lin Qingxia did not come, and went to her sister's house to celebrate the festival.
Yang Ye called Zhao Yazhi and Xu Feng over to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival because these two wives are more virtuous and less likely to conflict.
Opening a harem is not an easy task. Women naturally love palace fighting. If they fight to the death, it will really cost Yang Ye his life.
For the sake of the harmony of the harem, Yang Ye could only slowly figure it out. Use the method of Qin to unify the six countries, defeat them one by one, in order to finally achieve unification.
Also, calling them here today was also to let the two children, Yang Hao and Yang Yu, meet and get to know each other.
They are all Yang Ye’s flesh and blood, so they can’t not know each other, right?
As for Guan Jiahui, Yang Ye called her here in order to let Xu Feng, Zhao Yazhi, and Lin Fengjiao, three virtuous and well-behaved wives, give this jealous little boy a try.
In the room, the rain had stopped and the clouds had dispersed. Yang Ye hugged Guan Zhilin, whose face was flushed, and said seriously: "Jiahui, when you go out later, you should be good when you see some sisters."< br>
Guan Jiahui wanted to say: "I am not good!"
But she still pouted and said: "I know, you just call me sister, I'll just call you sister!"
