Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 300 Super Burning Trailer
When Zhang Chen had eaten and drunk his fill, a few people from Cheng Long's group were chatting.

"Jinpeng, are you confident about "Song of Everlasting Regret"?"

Stanley Kwan shook his head, "It's not good enough, the hot favorite is George Clooney's Good Night, and Good Luck...

"Good Night, and Good Luck" is a film adapted from true history.

It tells the story of Edward R. Murrow, a journalist in the 1950s, who fearlessly confronted Senator McCarthy over the issue of communists. It shows the spirit of journalists who are not afraid of political power and insist on pursuing the truth in journalism.

Venice is very fond of this type of subject matter, so Good Night, and Good Luck has a high chance of winning the Golden Lion. "

After hearing what Stanley Kwan said, the others could only sigh along.

Zhang Chen was listening on the side and knew that these guys were all wrong, especially you, Li Amin, what are you doing here?

He has a deep memory of this Venice Film Festival and clearly remembers that it was Brokeback Mountain by Alex Mann that won the Golden Lion.

It was from then on that Li Min began his journey to win awards. With "Brokeback Mountain", he won an Oscar and became the first Chinese to win the Best Director Oscar.

At this stage, the Oscars have not yet embraced political correctness, and in terms of value, they are much greater than the other three.

It is the first-class existence in the cultural field.

Being recognized by the Oscars means being recognized by the whole world.

First, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Best Foreign Language Award, and then "Brokeback Mountain" won the Best Director Award. No wonder he can become the "pride of the Chinese".

Why was Li Min’s “Lust, Caution” later released in China without any cuts? Wasn’t it because he had won two Oscars?

Even the General Administration’s own son doesn’t receive this treatment.

Cheng Long happened to see Zhang Chen at this time and called him over: "Director Zhang, which movie do you think will win the Golden Lion in Venice this time?"

Zhang Chen thought to himself that it didn’t matter to him who won the Golden Lion, he was just here to screen and sell the film.

But since I was asked, it would be bad not to answer, so I might as well be a prophet.

"Brokeback Mountain by Li Amine."

This was beyond everyone's expectations.

Even Li Amin himself was quite surprised.

"My Brokeback Mountain? Director Zhang is too polite, but I guess the chances are slim. Same-sex themes are not the favorites of Venice..."

Li Amin himself was actually unsure, and he didn't even have any hope at all.

"Isn't the chairman of the jury Dante Ferretti? Maybe he likes it?"

The Golden Lion Award actually has little to do with the judges; it mainly depends on the chairman of the jury.

In every Venice Film Festival, the Golden Lion Award is decided by the chairman of the jury.

That's why Jiang Wen said, 'Planning is up to me, success depends on 'planning'!
It’s about the 64th Venice Film Festival. "The Sun Also Rises" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival.

When asked about his chances of success, Jiang Wen declared confidently that with Zhang Yimou as the chairman of the film festival, he would have no problem finding people to support his film.

20 years ago, we fought hard in the 'sorghum field', which was his debut novel Red Sorghum;
10 years ago, I starred in "If You Are the One" directed by him. When I turned off the phone, I left him a message: "I will accompany you to the countryside and to the city, and in the future..."

Today, this ellipsis finally has meaning. He will wait for me in Venice without my pressure. As far as I know, he will like this movie. I made the movie he wanted to make but didn't have time to make. We share the dream.

Jiang Wen was very confident. He didn't even have Zhang Yimou's phone number. He relied entirely on the tacit understanding between the two of them from years of cooperation and his understanding of Zhang Yimou.

And then nothing happened. As we all know, Zhang Yimou gave the Golden Lion Award to Li Min's "Lust, Caution".

……

"Taken" became popular in Venice and also in China.

Domestic media that went to Venice to attend the film festival reported on the hot screening of "The Hurricane" in Venice.

The photo of Cheng Long appearing...

The audience shouted for more shows...

Photos of the packed public screening room…

A group photo of the main creators of "Hurricane" and fans...

After the show, reporters randomly interviewed the audience...

The film festival brochure's review of the film...

All these things show that Zhang Chen's "Taken" was extremely popular at the film festival, even more so than the awards themselves.

There was even a report that mentioned that several domestic tourists saw Xu Ke at the "Taken" venue of the film festival. They greeted Xu Ke, but Xu Ke ran away.

Hahaha~
I don’t know whether it’s true or not, but people are having fun watching it.

At the same time, Dong Jianqiang also released the first trailer of "Taken".

There were only stills before, but now that the popularity is high, the trailer is finally online.

Zhang Chen Bar and Xingchen Entertainment Bar pinned the trailer to the top of the page immediately, and many netizens clicked on it as soon as they found it.

The trailer for "Taken" begins with Jing Tian complaining to her father that she wanted to go to France with her best friend and her mother agreed, so why did you stop them?

Liang Jiahui shook his head and refused: "No, you have no idea how dangerous this world is."

The daughter left in anger.

Then the white words on the black background: [According to a report provided by Interpol, human trafficking has now become the world's third largest underground trade after drug and arms smuggling. ]

In the next scene, the daughter and her best friend walked into the boarding gate. Liang Jiahui and Xu Qing waved goodbye and made a phone call gesture. When the plane arrived in France, the daughter and her best friend came out of the airport and met the handsome guy played by Huang Xiaoming who approached them: "Are you here for tourism? Taxis here are very expensive. Do you want to share one..."

Then, the two girls got off the car at the apartment. Huang Xiaoming said goodbye to them with a smile, then turned around and called the human traffickers to tell them their address.

Then there was black background and white words again——[Every year, more than 400 million people are illegally bought and sold]

Then Jing Tian called her father in the apartment. Jing Tian, ​​who was still smiling and talking the previous second, changed his expression drastically the next second.

Jing Tian looked terrified: "Dad, someone broke in, oh my god, they caught Nini..."

"Dad, they are here to arrest me, what should I do?"

Then, the camera switched, and Jing Tian, ​​who was hiding in the audience, was suddenly dragged out. The camera gave a close-up of Jing Tian's face, full of fear and panic.

Then, Liang Jiahui said calmly: "I will find you and kill you..."

Jason Statham: “good luck~”

The subtitles appeared again: [Among these trafficked people, the proportion of women is as high as 80%, followed by children and adult men. ]

Liang Jiahui then flew to Paris, and Lao Chen provided technical support: "These people kidnap foreign women and sell them through the dark web. You only have 72 hours at most. After 72 hours, the possibility of getting Jinmi back is zero..."

[These missing people are sold all over the world through the dark web, becoming tools for venting, illegal laborers, and some of the unlucky ones even become carriers of organ trafficking.]

The screen went black, and the next second, Liang Jiahui appeared at the airport and subdued Huang Xiaoming.

The scene changed again, and he appeared in the chicken coop. Although he had no weapons, his fists and feet were weapons, and he beat the hooligans so hard that they ran away in fear.

Car chase, explosion, rocket launched by Ali flying with tail flame, slow motion of police car being blown away~
[Find my daughter]

At the gate of the human traffickers’ den, Liang Jiahui appeared in the yard and slammed the trafficker’s head on the table before he could pull out his gun: “I said, I will find you and kill you.”

Then there is the Mozambique shooting method and the CAR center axis gun holding system.

Quick flash cuts, each person only gets a passing shot, but without exception they are all shot and shot, quickly edited together...

When the picture stopped again, there were corpses all over the ground.

[Gods stand in the way, gods are killed; Buddhas stand in the way, Buddhas are killed]

The next time the screen appears, it has switched to a car chase scene, which is part of a long shot. It is tense and exciting, with the occasional "bang bang" sound of bullets hitting the car body.

Liang Jiahui reached out and smashed the cab of the chasing police car into a sieve, causing the police car to overturn.

Then it switches to the CQB perspective of the slums. The camera is right behind the protagonist, watching him kill his way through, close-range pistol headshots, shotgun blasts, knocking people away, dagger melee, tumbling and falling...

Especially the fall from the third floor, it looked painful, but it couldn't stop the protagonist from standing up and continuing to kill...

【Devil incarnate】

Liang Jiahui thrust an iron nail into the trafficker's thigh, then switched on the switch, and the light began to flicker.

[Going into the Dragon's Cave Alone]

A helicopter view of Loli Island, with guards everywhere
Liang Jiahui sneaked into the villa and killed everyone in his path, every shot hitting the head, and he changed bullets during the battle, all in one go.

Outside the villa, the guards who arrived were named one by one by Ali.

【Thunder Strike】

The magnificent door was pushed open, and Liang Jiahui saw the boss who was holding Jing Tian hostage inside.

The housekeeper looked at Liang Jiahui in panic: "It's all just business~"

Then there was a close-up of the gun muzzle, and the next second, accompanied by a "bang" sound of a gunshot, the screen went black.

【Zhang Chen's Works】

A helicopter flies across the sky~
【Stars co-star】

Flashbacks of all the actors, Liang Jiahui, Xu Qing, Jing Tian, ​​Huang Xiaoming, Jason Statham, Zhang Jin...

【Redefining Action Movies】

Liang Jiahui locked his throat, grabbed his crotch, and broke his arm...

Mozambique: two shots in the torso and one in the head…

CAR, a pistol and a knife...

Shootings, explosions, chases, fights, these exciting scenes are quickly edited together, giving viewers a rush of adrenaline.

Finally, the four big words [Hurricane] [Wind] [Rescue] slammed heavily on the screen, cracking the background.

Burn!
So burning!
Fans just felt their hearts boiling with excitement.

Taken is definitely going to be a good movie and people can’t wait to see it.

Trailers have this kind of charm. A good editor can turn a stinky piece of shit into a delicious and fragrant dish.

Of course, the consequences will certainly be very serious.

When angry movie fans find out they’ve been duped, they’ll most likely retaliate by giving bad reviews.

Dong Jianqiang was very satisfied when he looked at the various online feedback he received.

During the entire October schedule, the most popular films were Jackie Chan's "The Myth" and their "Taken". Dong Jianqiang didn't even take the other films "Election" and "A One Man's Journey" seriously.
