Chapter 344: Confused Zhang Yimou, Different Concepts of Strength and Weakness (33)

When it gets dark in the country.

It is still afternoon in Venice, Italy.

June 9th, local time.

Jiang Wen and the four main actors Chen Chong, Jaycee Chan, Zhou Yun and Kong Wei promoted the film at the film festival.

In the early morning of September 9th, the premiere of "The Sun Also Rises" was held in China.

The jury chairmen Zhang Yimou and Jia Zhangke were all present to show their support.

Jiang Wen waited for a while, then said to Lao Mouzi, "I went to support Li Min, but he doesn't know how to return the favor. Sigh, people's hearts have changed."

Zhang Yimou smiled bitterly: "Your suggestion at his premiere didn't piss him off to death, but it scared him to death."

Jiang Wen said: "He filmed it like that, I was right. By the way, I'm not asking you to give me an award, but you can't give it to Lust, Caution either."

Ever since the premiere of "Lust, Caution", the atmosphere at the Venice Film Festival has been a little weird.

No one in the foreign media reported his comments; they were all as quiet as chickens.

Jiang Wen believes that "Lust, Caution" has no chance of winning an award.

At this point, he didn't believe that "Lust, Caution" could win any award.

Without "Lust, Caution", his "The Sun" is unlikely to be released.

Just looking at the trembling faces of those reporters, directors, and film critics, you can feel how powerful this force is.

Marco Muller, who had a good relationship with him and had been trying to get close to him before, is now nowhere to be seen.

He is not afraid, people are different.

Li An is just a tool, and Jiang Wen is a human being.

This thing is only useful to the host, and Dongda is not someone who can run wild.

Zhang Yimou and Jia Zhangke attended today's premiere. This is the reason.

Jiang Wen still has some face.

Of course, it’s not true to say that Jiang Wen has no ideas at all.

This year's Venice Film Festival gave high praise to Chinese-language films.

Instead of giving it to "Lust, Caution", give it to Johnnie To's "The Detective" or Wan Dao's "The Detective"?
It has no influence and damages the reputation of the film festival.

"The Sun" may not be without a chance.

Zhang Yimou frowned, his face wrinkled: "I can't make the decision. If I were to choose now, I would definitely not be the chairman of the jury."

According to his thoughts before coming to the film festival, for the sake of fairness in the awards, he would not talk to Jiang Wen.

just now.

That's it.

There's nothing wrong with saying a few words.

He was the only Southeast University student on the jury. He did not speak English well and was not allowed to bring an interpreter when judging the awards.

Someone else decided to use his name to review "Lust, Caution".

Zhang Yimou is not a fool. After watching the finished film "Lust, Caution", he can figure out the meaning of many things.

He was a little sad.

President of the Venice Film Festival Jury!

It means a lot to Zhang Yimou.

All along, what he has learned, what people around him have said, and what the media has said is glory.

In "Curse of the Golden Flower", he was cheated by some people.

Even though Zhang Weiping is in charge of all matters related to profits, he cannot say that there is no impact.

A lot of criticism was directed at him, but he held on.

Don't say, just do it.

Zhang Yimou was cheated again at the Venice Film Festival and felt a little lost.

Considering his preference, Zhang Yimou prefers Li An.

I've suffered as much as he has.

What is Jiang Wen? A young man, and a new rich young man at that.

Compared to "Lust, Caution", he dislikes "The Sun" even less.

His father had been a quartermaster and had served in the opposite army.

Zhang Yimou is an old one, and at one point, the family almost broke up.

At that time, his father discussed divorce with his mother in order not to implicate his mother.

It was purely out of consideration for their brothers' future, hoping to give them a better environment through divorce.

Although his parents did not divorce in the end, this incident was a huge blow to him when he was a child.

Zhang Yimou had an intuitive, absurd feeling.

He would never have thought of this before.

The atmosphere in Venice now feels a bit like that of the past.

After the premiere of "Lust, Caution", Jiang Wen used female college students as an example.

It's not just reporters, film critics and audiences who are silent.

Even no one on the jury mentioned "Lust, Caution".

Before this, we would talk about Lust, Caution from time to time.

Now it's like hitting the pause button.

Because of the repression, people dare not communicate with each other.

On the contrary, the directors and reporters from the University of Tokyo acted as if nothing had happened.

"The Sun" has finished playing.

After watching it, Zhang Yimou applauded for five minutes.

Jiang Wen wanted to hold a celebratory cocktail party after the premiere, but Zhang Yimou left first.

Zhang Yimou now only wants to return to China and make the Olympic Games a success.

Wake up in the morning.

Shen Santong ate breakfast while handling the company's daily affairs.

Check the shooting plan for the day again.

There is also an email sent by Flip Yu Dong.

Shen Santong has always been following the Venice Film Festival.

He was curious whether Lust, Caution would win an award. Yu Dong mentioned a strange phenomenon.

The screenings of "Lust, Caution" at the Venice Film Festival were sold out.

No one spoke, and no one discussed the plot.

Many people went to watch tacitly and then came out.

Shen Santong thought about it and almost understood what was going on.

It's just this point that can't be said.

"Lust, Caution" is an alternative and provides a unique movie.

It's just this point that can't be said.

Italy was the last country to rebel, but it actually also has a strong culture.

Later, Italy even set up a brother party with great fanfare, which was a variant.

Shen Santong was even more disgusted by "Lust, Caution".

Wrong lifestyle and ethnic pattern lead to the final result.

There is even some blame-shifting, with some Western leaders shifting the conflicts onto it.

What happened can be seen as a dog-eat-dog situation.

But Todai is completely innocent.

Donate money for major earthquakes.

Depend on!
The play "Lust, Caution" should not have appeared.

The more Shen Santong thought about it, the angrier he became.

After reading the foreign media reports, I became even more annoyed.

It's been three or four days, and it's film festival time again. The Venice Film Festival is in the spotlight.

Even the film review media has remained silent.

Outsiders don’t care how “Lust, Caution” treats the history of the University of Tokyo, but it cannot touch upon that.

Especially in media-related fields, the influence is so huge that it cannot be ignored.

Shen Santong was envious.

I envy the cooperation of the media.

The outside media are all cooperating.

Later, an announcer from the University of Tokyo objectively and impartially defended the sovereignty of the University of Tokyo.

Japanese media showed a high degree of unity throughout the incident.

A complete program is broadcast, and no video clips are leaked or disseminated after it is finished.

The real appearance of the Tokyo University announcer has not been leaked, not even his name.

Even the self-media and netizens took the initiative not to spread the news, and completely controlled the news events that were unfavorable to them.

All relevant links, including content selection, image exposure, communication channels, and public influence.

The strength, intensity and awareness of the entire Japanese media in protecting its own interests are a million light years ahead of the Tokyo University media.

Not on the same level.

Shen Santong sent an email to Yu Dong, urging him to make plans early.

He feels that the Golden Lion Award will still be given to "Lust, Caution".

After a brief pause in foreign media's discussion of "Lust, Caution", the discussion returned to its original flow.

As for Jiang Wen's idea of ​​winning the award, Shen Santong felt that it was impossible.

In fact, he felt funny.

Jiang Wen still has illusions. His sin is greater than Li An's.

“all men created equal”, all are created equal.

Some people subconsciously do not put Dongda in the position of "all men".

Unless you give a slap and the other party cannot retaliate after you have slapped him, your eyes will be clear.

In other words, it would be more effective if Jiang Wen jumped out and threw a punch instead of relying on others' choices.

Being half-concealed and having fantasies will not lead to a good outcome.

After having breakfast, Shen Santong continued filming "The Shallows".

The ending is the Dong'ao Island drama part.

The original version ends with the family reconciling, the heroine becoming a doctor, showing the scar on her thigh, and then she rushes to the sea again.

Shen Santong did not design it this way.

He just showed the scar, had a family chat, and then inserted some of his personal opinions.

The heroine no longer needs to surf to prove herself.

The cultural concepts of the strong and the weak are different.

America needs to be outwardly visible, so the surfing at the end shows that the heroine is fearless.

As for the culture of the University of Tokyo, it is so powerful that it does not need to be demonstrated, and it cannot be demonstrated.

The heroine is truly powerful only when she doesn’t go surfing.

A strong person’s every move will naturally reveal his influence.

The more you insist on showing how powerful you are, the more it proves that you are just a facade.

In the previous life, a US aircraft carrier was destroyed, and they used an old video to cover up the truth, which was so hilarious.

On the contrary, it is the Dongda, a 10,000-ton ship, which is called a boat. It is pitiful and is always picked on by the monkey's large ship of several hundred tons.

Without looking at the power comparison or the video, and only looking at the text, Tokyo University is too weak.

Clap and stop.

Let’s eat melon together at noon.

Needless to say, Director Chen's acting skills are excellent.

He held a watermelon and asked Shen Santong curiously: "Is what you said true?"

In this play, he plays a father who is a biology professor.

At the end, the heroine happily introduced how she fought with the shark, and the character he played talked about the bad influence of this incident.

Some media took advantage of this to hype up and suppress our shark industry chain.

Director Chen remembers that there was real suppression in reality.
