Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Scarlett Johansson arrived on the set in Paris in August, her scenes were filmed in just a few days, and then she left the set for Venice.  Thomas is responsible for communicating with Venice, delivering the film, etc., so although Shen Zhenghui also wants to go to Venice, he still has to deal with some things with Thomas.  This was a simple contact between him and Scarlett Johansson.  2003 was almost a turning point of fate for Scarlett Johansson. She would be named Best Actress in Venice for "Lost in Translation", and then win the British Academy Film Award for Best Actress in 2004, and then "Lost in Translation".  After winning the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay in 2004, Scarlett Johansson's stardom became more and more open.  Since then, she has become Woody Allen¡¯s spiritual muse and has appeared in a large number of Woody Allen¡¯s films.  After winning multiple awards in literary and artistic films, she once again turned to commercial films, starring in action blockbusters such as "Iron Man", "Avengers", and "Superbody", breaking Angelina Jolie's box office record for female action films.  At this time, Scarlett Johansson, who was in contact with Shen Zhenghui, was only nineteen years old, and she still had a greenish flavor. Although she was already quite good in terms of performance and acting skills, European actresses always showed a maturity that did not match their age.  .  But when working with her, Shen Zhenghui was always distracted and couldn't help but look at Ning Huan.  Ning Huan, who was an Internet writer in her previous life, once wrote a basketball book called "Path of Glory". In the novel, one of the protagonist's official spouses was Scarlett Johansson.  This made him feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy when he saw Scarlett Johansson.  The director's attitude made Scarlett very uneasy. Although she felt that the director was not looking at her lustfully, that strange look seemed to touch her heart and soul.  Soon, the two met in Venice.  Thomas never expected that Shen Zhenghui could actually complete the filming of this film in just two months and send it to Venice to participate in the film festival.  Mitsumi Fukuda, who was far away in Japan, also didn't expect it. Shen Zhenghui's move surprised her, "In fact, you can definitely go to Venice. They have invited you before." "Really?" Shen Zhenghui asked.  ""Shanghai Fortress" was even screened in Venice as a participating film," Mitsumi Fukuda said, "Originally we wanted to send "Yakushiji Ryoko's Strange Incidents", but this film has already been released on a large scale in Europe." Shen Zhenghui was scratching his head.  .  "But I think they won't be unhappy if you send this movie over again." Mitsumi Fukuda said, "Japan also sent a movie, Takeshi Kitano's "Zatoichi"." Her tone was quite relaxed, "We also have  Participate in investment production! " "I hope to win a prize," Shen Zhenghui said because he knew that Takeshi Kitano's "Zatoichi" was also a popular choice for the Golden Lion Award, but in the end the Golden Lion Award was awarded to a Russian film.  "return".  Shen Zhenghui knew that both "Shanghai Fortress" and "Hurricane" were good-looking commercial films, and the judges would not be very fond of such films.  Fukuda Mitsumi obviously knew this very well, "Anyway, you can go and brush your face," she said, "Maybe you can become a judge there in the future." Shen Zhenghui can't imagine himself becoming an expert judge.  .  But when he showed up in Venice.  It was still cheered by the majority of movie fans.  As a well-known commercial director in Asia, he seems to be quite famous in Europe as well.  When they were introduced that this was the director of "Black Fist", many male fans began to shout and cheer. Speaking of which, "Black Fist" is indeed Shen Zhenghui's most popular work so far, which is in line with Kung Fu fans around the world.  expectations.  Although Wu Jin did not become famous because of this, it also expanded his global reputation. There are already Hollywood companies that are willing to pay good prices for him to star in Hollywood movies - of course, compared to Jet Lee's salary.  Wu Jin is still far behind.  Ning Huan is also among the crew and doesn¡¯t care about studying at all.  The condensed life experience he experienced during this period in the UK is comparable to that of the next thirty years. High-intensity work is indeed the most training one.  Ning Huan mingled among the crowd, holding a camera and taking photos constantly. This could be regarded as a good by-product of his unsuccessful journalist career.  The photos taken are pretty good.  As an outstanding representative of directors and actors in Asia, Shen Zhenghui was warmly received by the Venice official organizing committee.  Chairman Maurice DeHaden even had a few words with him.  As the father of international film and art festivals, the Venice Film Festival is also faced with the dilemma of art and business. How to ensure that the influence of the Venice Film Festival does not become a self-entertainment for artists, and at the same time ensure that it does not become a  Pure business awards.  Losing their style, these EuropeansFilm artists are worried.  This problem is really difficult to solve, and Shen Zhenghui doesn't think there is a solution. According to China's thinking, nothing in this world is ever easy, so when we are at the end of the road, it is instinct to seek innovation and change. That is to say, in  When necessary, things must be done according to people. There is no fixed and lasting principle that can keep things unchanged forever.  DeHaden mused, saying that he was retiring and that the person who would replace him - he didn't say who - was that the idea for changes to the Venice Film Festival was to enhance the influence of films from other regions to counter American Hollywood commercials.  impact.  This is a problem that every capitalist country in the world has to face.  DeHaden said that Shen Zhenghui has great influence in East Asia and represents an emerging force. He hopes that Shen Zhenghui can maintain this influence, especially when he sees that under this influence, Shen Zhenghui supports filmmakers.  He said, "Japanese director Miyamoto, "The Adventures of Kazuo Heisei" is actually a very interesting work, but the style and themes he shot are too Japanese, and it is difficult for audiences in other regions to understand  .¡± Shen Zhenghui felt that this criticism hit the target.  He even talked about Takeshi Kitano by the way. Takeshi Kitano is certainly a good director, but his style is fixed and consistent. It will be very difficult for him to break through in the future. In this regard, he feels that Shen Zhenghui is better than Takeshi Kitano.  .  Because there is no such thing as a fixed style from Shen Zhenghui.  This makes Shen Zhenghui feel very ashamed.  DeHaden also talked about the director Lu Yang, who was very impressed by his works such as "Black Fist 2" and "Slaying the Wolf", which shows that he has really thought about commerciality and artistry.  The two had a very pleasant conversation. When Shen Zhenghui finally came out, Thomas asked him if Venice had already set a prize for him?  Of course not, Shen Zhenghui did not come with the intention of winning the award.  But I met Scarlett Johansson again and took this opportunity to chat with her again.  Scarlett Johansson is the most popular Best Actress.  "Lost in Translation" is Sofia Coppola's second work.  The Coppola family are Italian immigrants, so Venice is their home turf.  However, Shen Zhenghui didn't know until the end that Scarlett Johansson's Best Actress was the Best Actress in the Upstream category, which is equivalent to Best New Actress.  The best actress in the official category is Germany's Katja Lehmann, who won the best actress award for her role in "The Women of Rosenstasserstrasse".  Shen Zhenghui found that he couldn't watch most of the films at the Venice Film Festival, and for a moment he doubted whether his determination to become a great director had gone in the wrong direction from the beginning.  Shen Zhenghui¡¯s film did not enter the competition section, but it was screened in Venice as a special exhibition. Shen Zhenghui himself went to see a few shows, I have to say.  As a typical commercial film, "Taken" attracted the vast majority of audiences.  The tense plot leaves people with no need to think or breathe. When the whole movie ends, there is still a feeling of unfinished content.  "Taken" won the popularity of most audiences during this period, but basically no praise was heard from film critics. The only praise was probably the good control of the pacing.  Italians and European tourists are not at all indignant about the French people being hacked in the movie, and can even be said to be happy to see it. Even the French themselves do not feel that this movie is a smear against their country.  Shen Zhenghui even saw Scarlett Johansson in a movie in the theater.  She didn't seem too satisfied with her performance. Because she was pressed for time, the big star acted more embarrassed.  But that's fine too.  The big star's aura is too strong, and she may be stealing the show, but Scarlett's youthful appearance is quite in line with the requirements of the film.  There are also many Chinese people coming to attend the Venice Film Festival.  Brother Haonan of Red Star was present, as was the Golden Horse and Academy Award-winning actress Lin Jiaxin.  However, the landscape of Hong Kong films has always been too small, and it is difficult to compete with European films in this regard.  Brother Haonan knew that although Shen Zhenghui was not in Hong Kong, he had a huge influence on Hong Kong movies, so he took Lin Jiaxin and took the initiative to say hello to Shen Zhenghui and said a few words.  The Hong Kong film market is in decline, and there is a serious generation gap among male actors.  The film market is basically supported by veteran actors.  As for Brother Haonan himself, he became famous through "Young and Dangerous", and then became famous with his fame, and then he became tepid.  But in Venice, Brother Haonan still seemed a little excited.  After all, it is really difficult for actors like him to appear on such occasions. In comparison, Lin Jiaxin is a female artist who is highly appreciated by the artist judges.  Shen Zhenghui received a box of small mooncakes from her and was quite moved.  "Do you still want to support Hong Kong movies?" Ning Huan asked.  "Why do you think so?" Shen Zheng?Reflective question.  "You have bought the copyrights of many Hong Kong films." He said, "And you have also introduced some Hong Kong films to Japan for screening." "Did you ask from Fukuda Mitsumi?" Ning Huan curled his lips, "It is impossible for me not to pay attention.  What is Kasuga doing? " "Because this mooncake reminds you like this?" Shen Zhenghui chuckled and handed him one, "Please have one," he said.  "When are we going back?" Ning Huan asked, "I have never participated in this kind of film festival before. I think it is quite new. But now it seems like this is the case." "If you want to leave, go back to Japan to study," Shen Zhenghui  He said, "I will go to the United States to discuss the distribution plan with Colombia and then return to Japan." "When will the movie be released?" Ning Huan simply couldn't wait. This is the first film he has officially written as a screenwriter.  movie is also of great significance to him.  "Even if the filming goes smoothly, North America will have to wait until Christmas for the film to be released." Shen Zhenghui said, "It will probably be released at the same time in Japan." "How much do you think the box office will be?" Ning asked eagerly.  "It's hard to say. I think it's certain that it will exceed 100 million US dollars in North America, and it's very possible that it will reach 200 million or 300 million globally. Of course. Thomas is more optimistic. He thinks it's possible for this movie to reach 200 million US dollars in North America." "Huh?" I'm used to hearing this in the future.  Ning Huan, who had a box office of over one billion US dollars, seemed not satisfied with this figure, "That's it?" "That's enough, how much did it cost? The 150 million has not been spent yet." Shen Zhenghui snorted, "If the box office is high,  If so, I can give you a red envelope." Ning Huan touched her hair.  "I think it's quite interesting to win awards. How about we work together to make a movie that can win awards for the next movie?" Shen Zhenghui rolled his eyes, "You'd better go to college first. Ah, speaking of which, I'm going to the UK.  I haven't visited your old classmates, why don't you take this opportunity to see them again" "It's up to you." Ning Huan rolled her eyes, "I'd rather see how Lao Bai plays football." "Bai.  Tao has officially signed with Hoffenheim, and he has also found a school willing to accept him. Although the school is not very good, it can be regarded as a regular university.  Bai Tao accepted Shen Zhenghui's suggestion.  He also didn't want to have to live with his status as a high school dropout in the future.  He plans to study while playing football, as many young German players actually do.  Shen Zhenghui could obviously hear his envy of Bai Tao's life from Ning Huan's tone, but for Ning Huan, he could not choose this lifestyle.  His height is now over 1.7 meters. This is the result of his hard training throughout his life. Maybe he can break through the 1.75 meter limit when he is eighteen years old. In short, he will not be like his sexy Lin Fenghan.  Went to play basketball.  So in this life he prefers watching football games.  "Actually, Lao Bai sent me an email saying that he was a substitute for two games and scored one goal." Ning Huan continued to talk, "The coach has high expectations for him. Just because he has good physical strength." "  I hope he takes good care of himself and doesn't get hurt." Shen Zhenghui shrugged.  The Venice Film Festival ushered in its own award ceremony and closing ceremony on September 8. Takeshi Kitano, who shot "Zatoichi", won the Silver Lion Award for Best Director, and Scarlett Johansson won the Against the Current category.  Best Actress.  Everything is as it was in history, but because Shen Zhenghui participated in the Venice Film Festival from beginning to end, the Venice Film Festival jury probably did it out of dignity.  A specially produced film award for the most popular film was awarded to Shen Zhenghui's "Hurricane Rescue".  Because this movie had the most viewers during the entire film festival.  This award made Shen Zhenghui dumbfounded, and Venice seems to be planning to award this award to the film with the most viewers as a regular practice in the future.  After the trip in Venice, the entire crew had already dispersed, and Miyamoto accompanied Ning Huan back to Japan.  Ning Huan went back to study, while Miyamoto had to rush to join the crew of Zhou Xingxing's "Kung Fu". Due to the delay in the filming, the filming of "Kung Fu" came to a standstill, and Uncle Da also delayed his schedule because of this, and was intervening with "Kung Fu".  Pass by.  Zhou Xingxing hired a new team to direct the film, but encountered many problems during the organization and preparation, and had to apply through Kasuga to let Miyamoto, an "outsider", help coordinate the process.  In the Hong Kong film industry, there are many temple demons and Chi Qian bastards.  Even with Zhou Xingxing's status in the world, sometimes he still had to borrow the power of outsiders.  Shen Zhenghui said goodbye to Thomas and the beautiful Scarlett, and took a flight to London first to meet Tang Ni and Zhang Yi, whom he had sponsored. These two girls who were admitted to Oxford University a year in advance were really helpful.  Shen ZhengHui's hometown gained a lot of fame. It was a small thing in the world, but when it was sent back to his hometown as news, it immediately caused some kind of sensation in the whole province.  Previously in 2002, a girl in Fucheng, Bashu Province, was admitted to Oxford University as a high school sophomore. She was so praised by her alma mater that she even found a writer to write a book called "A Knocking on the Door of Oxford"  "High school sophomore girl".  Under Liu Yiting's trend, other schools can only feel envious and jealous in the face of this kind of hype.  Now, the plot is reversed. Two sophomore girls from a high school in the city next to Fucheng were admitted to Oxford at the same time. This made the high schools in Fucheng and Rongcheng look like stars.  After several investigations by reporters, they discovered that there was a rich local man who sponsored several students to study abroad. This way, they managed to get into Oxford University directly.  You can't say that it's not the credit of the person's high school alma mater. After all, he went to high school for one semester before going out, and he was admitted to Oxford University after graduating from high school. Are you saying that the school has no effect at all?  Shen Zhenghui¡¯s alma mater took advantage of this to create hype. Shen Zhenghui didn¡¯t care at all. His visit to see these two girls was completely routine.  Speaking of which, these two were also his former classmates, and they should be taken care of. He definitely didn't have any thoughts about them.  With the purpose of helping others and seeing what they needed, Shen Zhenghui arrived in London, contacted the two girls and made an appointment at a time and place to meet.  Perhaps because he felt that bringing bodyguards would put too much pressure on them, Shen Zhenghui went to see Tang Ni and Zhang Yi with only Teng Tang Xiang Cheng.  To a certain extent, this can be regarded as showing Fukuda Mitsumi: I am well-behaved, otherwise why would I bring Todo Orange?  ¡°I just don¡¯t know if Todo Xiangcheng can understand Shen Zhenghui¡¯s painstaking efforts. This Japanese girl who understands Chinese will not have too much trouble listening to the conversation between the three people.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
