    After leaving "Good Morning America", Wan Xiaohu once again immersed himself in work. It was not until the opening of the 63rd Venice Film Festival that he flew to the world-famous water city of Venice in a Gulfstream G5.  The Venice International Film Festival is an international film festival held on the Lido Island in Venice, Italy, from August to September every year. It is known as the world's three major international film festivals along with the Cannes International Film Festival in France and the Berlin International Film Festival in Germany.  The highest award is the Golden Lion.  Founded in 1932, the Venice Film Festival is the oldest film festival in the world, the first international film festival in the world, and is known as the "Father of International Film Festivals".  In the golden age of film (1930s-1960s), the Venice Film Festival was the cradle of many film masters.  When Wan Xiaohu came to Venice, he actually didn¡¯t have much time to experience the exotic customs.  As one of the three major international art film festivals, what is discussed here is art on the surface, but in fact, it is all about money in private.  Those who win prizes in competitions want to sell their products at a good price, those who participate in exhibitions and screenings are preparing to find a good buyer, celebrities are busy running publicity to attract attention, and directors brag to increase their worth. ????????? Everything is busy, a veritable gathering of filmmakers.  Adam Ferguson, general manager of Sasha Entertainment, has already discussed with Wan Xiaohu to open up his own global distribution channels with the help of "Never Ending".  Buying and selling film copyrights, signing cooperation documents, eating and drinking parties, all occasions require Wan Xiaohu's presence.  Therefore, Wan Xiaohu did not come to enjoy this Venice Film Festival at all. In fact, most people who came to the film festival did not have the opportunity to enjoy it.  Journalists need to leave early and return late.  Capture as many stars as possible.  Celebrities need to be busy socializing and promoting their films.  In addition to publicity, the director.  Also participate in various academic seminars attached to the film festival.  Producers and distributors are even busier. There are hundreds of films on display at the Venice Film Festival this year. They need to discover as many good films as possible and buy films that can win awards or earn box office.  Many distributors don¡¯t even have time to attend film festival red carpets.  Wan Xiaohu now has two roles: director and publisher, so you can imagine the time arrangement.  Originally, I planned to get together with Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yuan, but I couldn't find any free time.  "Is this your first time in Italy?" In the square opposite the cinema where the show was being shown, a huge poster wall of "Never Ended" was erected.  In the built pergola, the Italian propaganda mission began. The host was the famous "Boba" host in Venice. When he spoke, the "shuang feng" shook violently, which was very visual impact.  The translator was a Chinese student studying abroad, and he looked at Wan Xiaohu with admiration.  "Yes. I just came to Venice three days ago." Wan Xiaohu said with a smile, looking at the many spectators, reporters, and cameramen inside and outside the pergola.  "Do you think there are any differences between Italy and China? Do you like Italy?" "Hmm, very good. An environment that is completely opposite to China. It's a pity that I haven't had time to visit it properly." "Why?" "You  You know, Venice has been a center of cinema recently, and a lot of distributors come here to select movies, and I need to introduce "Nevermore" to them. " "The distributors love "Nevermore."  "?" Wan Xiaohu raised his eyebrows: "If they don't like it, do you think I will still be so busy? My wrists are sore from signing contracts these days, and there are still a lot of contracts.  Waiting for me to sign the contract in the hotel. " "This is really exciting news. Will "Never End" be a big hit? How much box office do you think it should get to be satisfied? " " The more it sells, the better, there is no limit.  Haha. ¡±¡­ After dealing with the promotional work, Wan Xiaohu continues to deal with distributors around the world. As a model commercial director with good box office performance in recent years, Wan Xiaohu¡¯s films are highly sought after.  Relying on his fame and excellent film production, Adam Ferguson was able to leisurely formulate cooperation methods.  ¡°I really hope this kind of film festival can happen every day.¡± Adam sighed after returning to the hotel from a winery at around two o¡¯clock in the morning.  Wan Xiaohu said with sleepy eyes: "I don't like this kind of life. I have endless things to do every day, running like a machine, and there is no room for enjoyment." "You can't think like this, you should think about us.  Every negotiation brings benefits. Every time a contract is successfully signed, our global distribution network will be improved. These are invisible gold coins and the future of Sasha Entertainment.The basis of success.  " "Well said, the task of growing Sasha Entertainment will be left to you Adam. When the company grows, I will not give you less of the shares, dividends, and status you deserve. For the future, you continue to fight.  .  After the promotion of "Never Ending" ends, I will never do promotions like this again. My life, apart from making movies, should be about enjoying myself and not cooperating with promotions!  ¡± ¡°Come-on (please), Tiger, you are still young and should put all your enthusiasm into your career. Our goal at Sasha Entertainment should be to surpass Universal Pictures and become a Hollywood giant. If you and I cooperate, this is absolutely  not a problem!  ¡± As the former vice chairman of Universal Pictures, the reason why Adam Ferguson was willing to come to Sasha Entertainment was not only because of the prospects of Sasha Entertainment, but also because he had been squeezed out of Universal Pictures. Therefore, he had the opportunity to defeat Universal.  This kind of thinking is not surprising. ¡°Well, struggle.  "Wan Xiaohu said perfunctorily. Judging from the current situation, the idea of ??becoming a giant seems to be too slim. " Blah blah blah! The next day, "Never Ending" officially began to be screened, and Wan Xiaohu did not attend in person.  The cinema felt the audience's reaction, and after the entertainment that night, I listened to the assistant's report: "Boss, the movie is so beautiful. Although I don't understand the aesthetics of the lens, I know that the whole picture is very attractive.  Especially the shot that keeps moving forward is so cool.  And the story is very exciting.  Many foreigners started cheering non-stop after watching the beginning, and by the end, the applause lasted for a long, long time.  " "How long is very long?"  " "About three minutes.  " "So long?  " "Yes, many people leave the cinema after reading all the subtitles.  Boss, you are so talented.  " "As my assistant, don't flatter me.  Just understand it in your heart.  By the way, are there any urgent matters between domestic companies and Hollywood recently?  " The assistant opened the folder in his hand and handed over a fax: "Oh, Dandelion Film Company sent a fax about the list of Chinese New Star Director Program funded this year for your review.  " Chinese New Star Director has been implemented since last year. It has successively invested in more than 30 Chinese-language low-budget films. Some failed to be released, and some were sold out after being released. Occasionally, two or three films can win international awards.  A few awards, or a pretty good box office. Overall, it didn¡¯t bring out any great new directors, but it gave many directors a chance to get ahead. After receiving the fax, Wan Xiaohu looked at it and said, ¡°Call back.  , let them figure it out on their own.  " " In this way, several days passed like this. " The screening effect of "Never Ending" was very ideal. After watching it, the major film producers were full of confidence in the film, and more and more contracts were signed faster and faster. It is almost here  The night before the awards ceremony, Wan Xiaohu took time to have a meal with directors such as Feng Xiaogang, Jia Zhangke, Zhang Yuan, and several female celebrities who came to the film festival to chat about the gossip in the industry the next day.  , that is, on September 9, the awards ceremony began. At this awards ceremony, Jia Zhangke won the Golden Lion Award for Best Film for "The Good Man", becoming the first among China's sixth-generation directors to win the three highest awards.  Wan Xiaohu was envious of the director who won the award, and even Zhang Yuan got an award. The Robert Bryson Award awarded by the Vatican in Italy, which is located next to Venice, was awarded to the film for its impact on mankind.  An award for making outstanding contributions to moral improvement. ¡°Are you envious?  You can only get box office but not awards.  "On the night of the award ceremony, neither Wan Xiaohu nor Feng Xiaogang were invited to attend, so they hid in the tavern outside and had a drink. Feng Xiaogang held a dark beer in one hand and taunted him vigorously. Wan Xiaohu watched Jia Zhangke's pretentious speech on TV and blew.  Blowing beer froth: "At least I still have the box office to get it, but you can't even leave the country.  " "I have no plans to go out. I am not on the same level as you. Now in the newspapers, you are put together with Zhang Yimou, Li Yu, and Wu Yusen.  You are better than yours, I am playing mine in China, hehe, I am afraid that this time, when you go back to China, reporters will find something for you to do again.  " "What trouble can you find with me?  "Wan Xiaohu was envious and jealous of Jia Zhangke on TV, while also expressing disdain. "It's very simple, you can't win the award. You used to be the flag-bearer of the sixth generation of directors, but now Jia Zhangke has won the Golden Lion Award.  You will be a hero when you return home, and you will definitely be compared to others.  When people compare it, oh, Wan Xiaohu¡¯s box office is good, but it¡¯s kitsch to the audience.?I, Feng Xiaogang, am better at kitsch, and I can also kitsch Western audiences.  You see, we haven¡¯t even won the Golden Rooster Award so far, but Jia Zhangke has already won the Golden Lion Award. Are you embarrassed to be the flag-bearer of the sixth generation of directors?  " Wan Xiaohu opened his mouth to refute, but after thinking about it, it was not easy to refute. It is really difficult to argue that he is kitsch to Western audiences. In essence, Wan Xiaohu is packaging his Chinese films with personal heroism.  It¡¯s hard to argue that he didn¡¯t win an award. Let¡¯s not talk about the fifth-generation director, who has weak hands when winning international awards. The sixth-generation director is also a frequent visitor to international film festivals. Today, Jia Zhangke took the lead in catching the lion.  Xiaohu is known as the leader of the sixth generation of directors. The highest awards he has ever won are the Taiwan Golden Horse and the Hong Kong Golden Rooster. He didn't even win the domestic Golden Rooster. Wan Xiaohu took a sip of his dark beer and said, "I'm afraid.  I don't admit that I am a sixth-generation director. The title of Shenma Flagbearer has nothing to do with me, and I don't need to compare myself with anyone.  Making a fortune silently is the truth!  ¡± These words have a sour taste.
