Chapter 91 The triumphal song of Venice (please vote)
When Yang Siwei came back, his heart was still surging.
For no other reason, it was the film studio's enthusiasm for the price of the painting that frightened her.
Let alone bargaining, she has completely lost her standards.
During the entire process, Director Han’s deputy from China Film Group was dealing with the film producers.
Until the way back.
The deputy at Han Sanping explained the secrets to Yang Siwei.
Yang Siwei came to report to his boss. He heard that Yang Siwei said that there were nearly fifty film producers who had quoted prices.
The total amount is nearly 70 million US dollars.
Li Chen nodded secretly, the price was similar to what he expected.
"Boss, are you not excited at all? That's 70 million US dollars!" Yang Siwei looked like he had never seen money before.
Li Chen smiled and said: "It seems that the person who asked you to follow China Film Group today was right."
"Otherwise, you will act like you have never seen the world. Next time, we will discuss with the film company. It’s a shame!”
“People from China Film Group are definitely not in a hurry to trade, right?”
Yang Siwei nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
The man just now told her the secret inside.
The more people who make quotations, the less anxious you are to trade. Don’t be afraid of being late for a good meal.
Wait a minute, maybe it will be higher.
While the two were talking, the doorbell rang.
Yang Siwei went to open the door and saw Han Sanping with a red face.
"Director Han." Yang Siwei greeted with a smile.
Han Sanping nodded and strode into the room.
"Li Chen, you are indeed right! You are truly a blessed general!" Han Sanping laughed as soon as he came in.
The more I look at Li Chen, the more I like him.
Li Chen’s ability to attract money is really outstanding.
That Zhang Weiping dominated Zhang Yimou, which disgusted him for several years and made him envious for several years.
But now that I have Li Chen, I don’t care about it anymore!
Judging from the current situation, even China Film only accounts for 30% of the share.
The profit of this painting may not be lower than that of the Thief Family in the end.
He is almost certain that the two political achievements of Shoplifters and Painted Skin will definitely put him on the right foot.
"Director Han, you are also a top boss in the industry."
"Why are you as moody and angry as your thoughts?" Li Chen couldn't help but tease Lao Han.
Han Sanping was in a happy mood and didn't care about this kid.
Yang Siwei silently closed the door for the two of them and retreated.
When I returned to my room, I found that Tang Yan, Zhou Xun, and Li Congcheng were all there.
"Why are you here?"
Tang Yan smiled and said, "Sisi, Sister Xun and Sister Lichen are waiting for your report."
"Tell me what's going on." Zhou Xun couldn't help but stepped forward.
Li Siwei also stepped forward and smiled: "Yes, Si Siwei, talk to sister."
Yang Siwei was speechless, strode to the sofa, relaxed his body and sat down heavily.
"Don't ask me, I haven't recovered yet, it's too exciting."
When Yang Siwei said this, several people became even more interested!
Being forced to do nothing, Yang Siwei begged for mercy: "Sisters, I'm afraid of you."
"There is no deal tonight, but it doesn't hurt to tell you."
"The price has soared into the sky." Yang Siwei raised his fingers and said with a smile.
"No matter how high the sky is, you can go where you want."
"Sisters, I'm going to take a shower."
Yang Siwei stood up, regardless of the expressions of the three of them.
Weekly News
李椤椤.
Tang Yan
The next day, local and domestic media praised Huapi.
“Three years ago, Yimou’s heroes made me feel as warm as fire.”
“Three years later, Li Chen’s paintings made me feel as cold as ice. "
The chairman of the Venice Film Festival responded to a reporter from Sina Entertainment.
Guests who watched the movie that night were even more amazed when interviewed by the media.
“It’s so shocking, the Chinese are so amazing”
“The fusion of color aesthetics and martial arts action.”
“I fell asleep watching Seven Swords, and I couldn’t paint the skin the whole time. The picture is like a Chinese ink painting if you are willing to blink.”
“Shelookedsobeautiful (She is so beautiful), XiaoWei”
Domestic portal websites and Huaxia Newspaper also did not hesitate to praise him.
“The Chinese-language magical masterpiece Painted Skin premiered at the Venice Film Festival on September 4, and received high praise from local media and audiences.”
“Painted Skin is unanimously sought after by film producers around the world, and may be It once again surpassed Director Li's Shoplifters and set a new record for Chinese-language films going overseas."
"Zhou Xun's acting skills have been unanimously recognized by local film critics, and he is expected to be crowned the winner in Venice."
" The chairman of the Venice Film Festival, which aroused loyal fans, praised the beauty of the painting."
"Sister Xun, the mainstream website in Venice says you are the most smart and beautiful oriental woman." Yang Siwei teased Zhou Xun.
“Come on, but to be honest, I was struck by how beautiful I was when I was watching the movie yesterday.” Zhou Xun was in a good mood.
"This is also the first time I have seen the edited film. Now I feel that it was really worth it to shoot the water scene and your boss was tossing it to death." Zhou Xun sighed.
"Sister Xun, if it's true as the media said, you are the queen of Venice, how can you thank our boss?" Tang Yan smiled curiously.
"How can I thank you? I am willing to give you my life, but your boss is not willing yet." Zhou Xun teased without any scruples.
"Sister Xun, not necessarily. If you think my boss is Wang Sheng and you are Xiao Wei, I think there may not be a chance!" Yang Siwei said with a finishing blow.
“Get out!” Zhou Xun laughed and cursed.
“You two are Director Li’s lackeys, you look like you are pimping Director Li!”
“No way, I am guarding the door for Yifei.!”
The premiere of "Father's Love is Like a Mountain" still attracted many film producers.
After all, the gimmick of this film is that the script was written by Li Chen, the Palme d'Or director.
Li Chen said hello to the starring actors who love each other one by one.
Zha Zhahui has almost become Li Chen’s favorite actor.
"Director Li, the painting is very exciting. My wife and I like it very much." Zha Zhahui shook hands with Li Chen.
Guan Yonghe smiled and nodded.
"Thank you. I also appreciate your performance in the two dramas New World and Father's Love Like a Mountain." Li Chen said politely.
"Perhaps, we will cooperate in the future."
"Haha, that's really a wish. I'm waiting for Director Li's greeting at any time," Zhang Jiahui said with a smile.
Wait for Li Chen and Huo Wenxi to go away.
Guan Yonghe touched his husband and said happily: "Husband, what Director Li just said, does he mean there is another drama date?"
Zhang Jiahui is also happy in his heart, but he still wants to pretend in front of his wife: "It should be so, after all, your husband and I are also the future actor"
"Yes, yes, yes, the future actor will also be considered the future in the next life." Hit her husband mercilessly.
Nick Cheung himself smiled, but in his heart he thought that he would have a place in next year's golden statue or this year's golden horse.
Whether it is the New World or the love of a father, he is fully capable of getting a trophy back.
After watching the movie, Li Chen had to socialize as usual.
Film producers have also shown strong interest in "Father's Love Like a Mountain", a crime-themed commercial film about father's love.
Some film producers are even more whimsical and want to negotiate the copyright of Father's Love Like a Mountain and Painted Skin together.
Li Chen is not stupid, putting the two together can reduce the price!
How could he agree.
Father's love is as great as a mountain, there is no need to delay, and it is not for winning prizes.
The price is right and the deal can be completed tonight or tomorrow.
Huo Wenxi was surrounded by film businessmen.
Li Chen is also very beautiful.
Now everyone knows that this Chinese Palme d'Or director has set foot in Hollywood.
There is no guarantee that one day we will become famous, and now is the time to connect with each other.
I have to say that foreign girls are really broad-minded.
Maria’s eye-catching breasts were almost bulging out of the blue dress.
The pungent smell of perfume gave Li Chen the urge to practice Turtle Breath Kung Fu.
After dealing with her for a few words, Li Chen quickly walked away.
Not far away, Monica Bellucci, wearing a black suspender dress, came up and stopped him again.
During the premiere of Painted Skin, the two of them had met each other, and this time this person directly gave him a kiss.
"Li, I have watched both Painted Skin and Father's Love. It is hard to imagine that these two styles of movies could come from the same person."
"Thank you."
"The Chinese director is very talented. I have also seen Zhang's movies. You look very similar to him."
"It's the hairstyle," Li Chen said with a smile.
In the eyes of foreigners, it is easy for people to mistake him and Zhang Yimou for being the same person.
After all, they all look at Chinese people the same way, just like we look at foreigners.
Monica, the sexy Italian actress, has completely lost her youthful charm.
All that is left is a bloated figure and unconcealable wrinkles.
Li Chen was a little unmotivated.
Miss Liu has reached their age.
At least they won’t grow old as fast as foreigners.
Li Chen said hello to Huo Wenxi, and he would not participate in the rest.
Just wait for the results.
Back to the hotel.
Early the next morning, after Li Chen had finished breakfast, Huo Wenxi came looking radiant.
"Director Li, the film producers know that it is your script and have seen Father's Love Like a Mountain, so they have a strong desire to buy it."
"Currently, thirty-three companies are interested in buying it. The copyright of "Die's Love is Like a Mountain."
"Here is the list and the price. If you have no objection, I will make a deal with them today," Huo Wenxi said with a smile.
Li Chen took it and took a look. The total amount was nearly 40 million US dollars.
"I have no objection, we can trade."
"Okay, I'll do it now."
Li Chen nodded and said nothing more.
Huo Wenxi took two steps and then turned around. He stroked his temples gracefully and said with a smile: "Director Li, I forgot to tell you."
"Director Yang asked me to bring you A box of red wine, I hope our cooperation can be long-lasting, I have given it to Si Si.”
Li Chen was amused, could he use wine to make amends?
“I understand, let me go back and tell you, Director Yang.”
“I don’t like my partners to make small moves, and I don’t like to be treated as a fool.”
Huo Wenxi was shocked, but the smile on his face remained unchanged and said: "I will bring Director Li's words."
"Director Yang has always said that Director Li is Yinghuang's most important partner."
"If there is any misunderstanding, it is because Director Li's weight is too heavy."
"Haha, Miss Huo is indeed Director Yang's right-hand man, she is really good at talking." Li Chen laughed loudly.
"Director Li has given me the award." Huo Wenxi said with a smile.
"If one day Miss Huo is unhappy in Yinghuang, the door of our company will be open to you at any time."
Li Chen looked at Huo Wen Xiyan with bright eyes. Chisel the road.
Huo Wenxi was shocked and said slightly unnaturally: "Thank you Director Li for your appreciation. If there is nothing else, I will go out first."
After leaving Li Chen's room, Huo Wenxi let out a long breath.
Immediately called his boss again.
"Boss, he accepted the wine and asked me to bring you a message."
"I understand."
Li Chen hasn't calmed down for a while.
Yang Siwei, Zhou Xun, and Tang Yan came together, and their expressions were a little strange.
As soon as Yang Siwei came in, he said: "Boss, Sister Mani just sent you a box of wine."
Li Chen nodded and said: "I know, she told me just now. "The wine shouldn't be cheap, right?"
Tang Yan gave a thumbs up: "The boss is really foresight, I just checked my mind."
"Twelve bottles in a box, I'm afraid it won't be less than 1.5 million."
Zhou Xun sat next to Li Chen affectionately and said with a smile: "Director Li, how about leaving one bottle for me? I'll buy it too. Okay.”
“That’s Romanée-Conti from 1974. We checked it out, and it’s not easy to buy a bottle.”
“This box should be auctioned by Yang Dongcong. "I came here for a photo shoot."
Li Chen was not surprised. When it comes to enjoyment, these rich people in Hong Kong are all experts.
"Sisi, give a bottle to each of the leading actors in the crew, and leave a bottle for yourself and Mimi."
"Also, give a bottle to the old man Marco." Li Chen said grandly. .
After all, with the five leading actors plus Yang Siwei, Yang Mi and Lao Ma, eight bottles are gone.
“Ah, boss, you are so, so, so handsome!” Yang Siwei said in an infatuated manner.
Zhou Xun also sighed and said: "Director Li, with your temperament, you really want to date female stars."
"I can guarantee that nine out of ten will have to lie down!"
"Hahaha"
Both Yang Siwei and Tang Yan were amused by Zhou Xun's explicit remarks.
But after thinking about it, I think there is nothing wrong with it.
“Think about your boss, even if you don’t say how handsome he is.”
“But the temperament is something that I have to master to death.”
“Especially after winning the Palme d’Or, I feel completely transformed.”
“Now every time I raise my hand or make a move, I feel like a big boss. Coming at him, he completely killed top male stars like Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan."
"Maybe this is the blessing brought by wealth and honor," Yang Siwei thought to himself. Li Chen didn't bother them, and privately asked Yang Siwei to send a bottle to Han Sanping and tear off the packaging.
The Venice Film Festival was still going on. Li Chen had nothing to think about, so he stopped watching movies.
The chairman of the Berlin Film Festival called him and joked that he had gone to both Cannes and Venice.
I have to come to Berlin.
This immediately stumped Li Chen. His next plan was full of arrangements.
There is simply no time to make another award-winning film.
Li Chen patted his forehead.
"Mr. Dieter, you really posed a problem for me."
"Thank you very much for your kind invitation, but I will be very busy next time and I won't be able to spare the time at all."< br>
"Li, capable and talented people are busy."
"Your talent has been proven in Cannes, I believe in you."
"As for time, don't you Chinese often say that it's all about squeezing it in?"
Li Chen was stunned, Is this what you mean by just squeezing it? Why do I remember saying 'ditch'
Hang up the phone with Dieter.
Li Chen fell into deep thought and will return to Hollywood in two days.
I'm afraid I'll have to stay in Hollywood for more than half a month.
One is the matter of lurking, the other is the matter of buying real estate, and the other is the matter of my next movie.
You don’t have to do all these things yourself.
Would you like to use these more than half a month to make a film?
It's quite suitable to be buried alive. If you go to Berlin, I'm afraid it won't be a big problem to be shortlisted.
Winning an award is a bit difficult, but it also depends on the actor.
When Liu Dehua broke up with him last time on Hong Kong Island, he wanted to find him with a suitable book.
It is quite appropriate to bury him alive.
Just change the protagonist to a Chinese-American.
I just don’t know if Liu Dehua dares to fight this.
After all, filming Buried Alive is not difficult, but acting is difficult!
It depends on whether Liu Dehua dares to be cruel to himself.
It’s better to call him and ask him first, Li Chen thought to himself.
"Director Li, why did you remember to call me? You should be in Venice now? Haha," Liu Dehua said with a hearty smile.
Li Chen also smiled and said: "It's in Venice, Brother Hua."
"Didn't you ask me to come to you when I have a script? There is indeed a script now. It depends on whether you dare to act? Can you act well?"
Liu Dehua was very happy when he heard this: "Why is this script so interesting? If Director Li gives me the chance, I will definitely act..."
Li Chen didn't waste any words: "Okay, in that case, I will send you the script later, you can read it first and then make a decision."
“This play is difficult to perform, and it is even harder to perform well.”
“But let me tell you the bottom line, this play is going to Berlin next year.”< br>
"Just now, the chairman of the Berlin Film Festival invited me to participate in the Berlin Film Festival next February."
"I don't want to go empty-handed."
"Okay, I will accept Director Li's wishes. I’ll reply to you as soon as possible after reading the script.”
After hanging up the phone, Li Chen opened his notebook and sent the notebook he had written before to Liu Dehua.
Within three hours, Liu Dehua called back.
"Director Li, I have read the script. You are giving me a coffin to bury me alive." Liu Dehua said with a smile.
Li Chen also smiled and said: "We Chinese have a saying, coffin, coffin, means promotion and wealth. This has a good meaning. How about it, Brother Hua?"
"Thank you, Director Li, for this play, I answered it."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Dehua said to himself: "Director Li is really particular."
Since he promised zero pay last time, he naturally wouldn't ask for one. dime.
Unexpectedly, Director Li disagreed.
In the end, he came up with a compromise, allowing his Yingyi Entertainment to take a 20% share and co-produce it with Chi You Pictures.
Liu Dehua couldn't defeat the other party, and felt that he owed him a lot of favors.
Because this drama is filmed, as long as it can be shortlisted in Berlin.
You will definitely not lose money by selling the copyright. After all, I will get more than the salary from the film.
"Why are you in a daze?" The woman's gentle voice interrupted Liu Dehua's contemplation.
"It's okay, I'm going to Hollywood for a while, you take care of yourself"
The woman said in surprise: "Didn't you say you're going to the mainland?"
"Director Li said That's right, the mainland may not be able to pass the examination, the procedures are troublesome, let me go directly to Hollywood."
"Then please pay attention to your health and bring more clothes." Although the woman was reluctant to give up, she also knew what Andy Lau was thinking. .
"Don't worry, I'm measured."
On that day, the copyright deal for Father's Love was concluded, and Huo Wenxi and the crew returned to Hong Kong first.
Li Chen didn't let her announce the transaction price, so he had no control over the media's speculation.
But someone has already revealed that the copyright of Father's Love is Like a Mountain was sold at a sky-high price record for a Hong Kong film.
Two days later, Huapi also completed the copyright transaction.
These two films are exactly the opposite of Latent. Li Chen directly sold off the copyright and did not take any box office share.
Because some countries and regions are more troublesome, and the box office cannot be guaranteed.
It is a one-time sale, even if it cannot be released in some areas, it has nothing to do with him.
The transaction price of the painted skin made Han Sanping blush.
He was even more delighted when he received the news that the organizing committee had asked the Painted Skin crew to return to Venice.
This means that there is a prize for painted skin.
Li Chen dare not think about the Golden Lion and the jury prize, the possibility is almost zero.
The most anticipated closing ceremony red carpet and award ceremony of the Venice Film Festival are coming
On the 10th, I heard that Li Amun also returned to Venice.
Li Min’s voice is the loudest, and the subject matter is too dominant.
But judging from the information published in the film festival journal.
Leon Li's Brokeback Mountain is not as good as George Clooney's Good Night and Luck.
The closing ceremony will be held at 7pm.
The red carpet was crowded with screaming fans.
"Xiao Wei."
The Painted Skin crew walking on the red carpet could still hear someone shouting the name of Zhou Xun's character in Painted Skin.
There are also Chinese fans shouting the names of Zhou Xun and Louis Koo.
There were also reporters who greeted Li Chen and Li Chong and asked them to look at the camera.
"Director Li, I wish you a triumphant return," said a Sina reporter
"Thank you."
After everyone dealt with the reporters, they continued walking on the red carpet.
A piercing scream suddenly came from behind.
Li Chen and others looked back.
It turned out to be George Clooney walking on the red carpet.
Female fans went crazy, and there were thunderous cheers on both sides of the red carpet.
"Let's go, don't affect these crazy girls." Li Chen said with a smile.
Entering the venue, as soon as he sat down Zhou Xun couldn't help but said: "Director Li, why didn't you come to support yesterday's Ruo Ai?"
Li Chen smiled and said: "Isn't Yang Siwei going? What's the difference between going with me?"
Zhou Xun was unwilling: "Can it be the same?"
Li Chen said with a smile: "Brother Xun, can you wake up? ”
"What do you mean?" Zhou Xun frowned.
“For the premiere of Painted Skin and Father’s Love, is Chen Kexin here?”
“If you love me, is Director Han there?”
“I can I’m going to cheer you up, but there’s no need to give Chen Kexin face.”
Zhou Xun was stunned for a moment, then gradually came to his senses.
When Yang Siwei came, it would be Director Li who was cheering for him.
But there is really no need to give Chen Kexin face.
No wonder Guan Jianpeng came last night.
None of the other big directors arrived.
The award ceremony began soon.
Li Chen can achieve calmness of mind.
But Zhou Xun and Li Zhengyi couldn't do it, including the male protagonist Gu Tianzhu.
Objectively speaking, compared with the original starring Chen Kun, Louis Koo lost because of his eyes.
There is nothing in my eyes.
But Li Chen’s drama was not originally for winning awards, it just had to have box office.
The Best Screenplay Award was given to Good Night and Good Luck, and Li Chen knew for sure that the golden lion would still be Li Am.
The Best Director award went to Uniform Lovers.
Li Chen felt a slight sense of loss in his heart.
You can turn around and see whether it is Macol who is presenting the award or everyone around him.
The look in my eyes and expression is one of envy and joy.
What's going on? Did I hear wrongly?
Yes, Philip, the director of Uniform Lovers, is already on stage.
"Director Li, why are you so stunned? Why don't you come on stage to receive the award?" Zhou Xun said with a smile.
"Receive the award? Didn't Phillip come on stage?"
Li Chen was so confused that he couldn't even speak clearly.
Philip came on stage and had something to do with him.
When Zhou Xun said this, Li Chen would understand what it meant in normal times.
But now his mind is really a little down.
It wasn't until Zhou Xun bared his teeth and grinned: "Double yolk egg! Double yolk egg! Director Li!"
Li Chen finally realized what he was doing and turned to look at Marco who was presenting the award. Still looking at him with a smile on his face.
Philip also seemed to be waiting for him.
Li Chen just came back to his senses, let me choke him!
The golden lion also laid double yolk eggs and even hit himself.
Li Chen calmed down his momentary heavenly mood and slowly walked onto the podium.
It’s not like I’ve never seen a golden lion’s double yolk egg before, but it seems like it was ten years later.
However, this year marks the 100th anniversary of Chinese cinema, maybe.
"Li Chen, congratulations."
"Thank you."
Li Chen didn't even prepare his acceptance speech. Could it be that Thank you CCTV?
"Li Chen, tell me how you feel now."
Li Chen held the trophy and was a little at a loss for the first time.
Zhou Xun sat down and winked at her.
Li Chen was instantly inspired.
“I’m very happy, because this is completely unexpected. I didn’t expect that I would win the award, so I didn’t prepare a speech.”
This is Li Chen’s true words, although he knew that there would be Award, but he estimated that it was probably Zhou Xun's.
"I want to thank two people."
"The first one is the lead actor of Painted Skin, Zhou Xun."
"Because she is the only actor in Painted Skin who refused my invitation ”
“But she came in the end”
Zhou Xun was instantly embarrassed and ashamed.
The guests at the scene also applauded and joked.
“Second, I would like to thank Mr. Marcol, the chairman of the Venice Film Festival.”
“Because at the beginning I rejected Mr. Marcol just like Zhou Xun rejected me. "
"But in the end, I came."
"Thank you for rejecting my weekly news, and thank you for rejecting Macol."
"How regretful I would be without you." Li Chen raised the silver lion in his hand and kissed it.
The scene burst into applause. This young Chinese director of the Palme d'Or is so funny.
Macol also gave Li Chen a big hug.
"Thank you for the red wine, Li Chen" Marcol smiled in Li Chen's ear.
“Thank you for the invitation, too, Marco.”
"I hope to see young Li Chen on the podium in Venice in the future." Macor laughed in front of everyone.
"Thank you, yes. I actually prefer gold to silver." Li Chen also smiled back.
The scene suddenly burst into applause and cheers.
Back off the stage, Zhou Xun muttered in a low voice: "Director Li, I can't tell that you still hold a grudge."
"That's not a rejection. I'm not afraid that the performance won't be good."
Li Chen was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Don't think that only you women can be petty. You are the first actor to reject me. I will remember it for the rest of my life."
Zhou Xun said with a smile: "Okay, yes It is an honor to be remembered by Director Li for a lifetime.”
What Li Chen didn’t know was that the domestic reporters watching the live TV broadcast outside the venue also cheered.
Li Min also has another prize, and there is a high probability that it will be the Golden Lion.
After all, Good Night and Good Luck has already won a screenplay award.
Next, the actor gave Robert Merrill, the beast in his heart, and Louis Koo could not see the loss.
Probably when Li Chen got the Silver Lion, he put it down.
The heroine follows.
It was Chinese writer Acheng who came on stage to present the award.
Li Chen smiled and comforted Zhou Xun and Li Congcheng: "There will be opportunities in the future, so be normal"
The two of them were not thinking about Li Chen at all.
Before Li Chen finished speaking, Acheng had already announced the winning actor.
Told in Chinese: Painted Skin Weekly News
Li Chen heard clearly this time, it’s not a double-yolked egg, but a weekly news!
This, this is the same as myself in Cannes, another double cannon!
After Li Xuejian became emperor in Cannes.
Weekly News, the Queen is sealed in Venice again! ! !
Zhou Xun's face was flushed, and he was trembling like a swan spreading its wings and using all its strength to complete the last blow in its life.
Both Chinese and foreigners at the scene were crazy.
The Chinese reporters outside the venue seemed to be drunk, and they were so excited that they forgot where they were.
I am asking for a vote at the beginning of the month. I am anxiously asking for votes. I have just finished coding. Thank you (ω`) brothers, sisters and family
