Hollywood Starts with Animation

Time is fleeting.

　　 In a blink of an eye, today is September 8, 2001.

　　 Today is the closing day of the 58th Venice International Film Festival, and it is also the day when the finalists of the main competition section of the film announced the awards.

　　 in the afternoon.

　　 Venice’s Lido Island has long been noisy, and the red carpet was laid early outside the venue for the Venice Film Festival awards ceremony. Media reporters from countries and regions around the world have set up video cameras and cameras, ready to go.

　　 "The list of guests on the red carpet today, is it done?"

　　 A reporter asked his companions around him.

"No."

The companion next to him immediately replied: "The secrecy measures of the organizing committee of this year's film festival are very strict. We have no way of knowing which celebrity will appear on the red carpet, and when will the film director step on the red carpet, etc. ."

Upon hearing this, the reporter immediately said with disdain: "No wonder the Venice Film Festival has become more and more sluggish in recent years. If you look at the Cannes Film Festival in France, you can get a guest list for only 200 dollars. Haha, Venice is not at all. Grounded."

The companion next to 　　 nodded and agreed.

　　Berlin Film Festival, Cannes Film Festival, Venice Film Festival, the three in one, are called the three major European film festivals.

　　 Founding time, brilliant process, star-studded red carpet...

　　 The three major film festivals are basically the same.

　　 But, as far as today is concerned, the Cannes Film Festival is the most successful in terms of commercial atmosphere. On the other hand, the Venice Film Festival does have some fading taste.

　　 A few months ago, the Cannes Film Festival successfully concluded!

During the period of 　　, it attracted as many as 29,000 tourists from home and abroad;

　　 More than 1,400 films in total;

　　 There are more than 500 studios from various countries and regions;

　　......

　　 After a two-week period, the 2001 Cannes Film Festival drew money wildly, raking in revenue of more than 78 million U.S. dollars in one fell swoop, and the total turnover of various films reached 280 million U.S. dollars. The economic value brought to the small town of Cannes is countless.

　　 Take another look at the 58th Venice Film Festival.

　　 Whether it is the income of the film festival organizer, the turnover of various films, the number of film merchants from various regions...

　　 Various data and income are far lower than the Cannes Film Festival a few months ago.

　　 "It won't be long before I see that the Cannes Film Festival reception completely surpasses the Venice Film Festival." The reporter said solemnly.

"Ok!"

The companion next to 　　 echoed: "If the Venice Film Festival organizing committee does not make changes, the situation may be more serious than we thought."

　　 It's not surprising...

　　With the advent of the red carpet time, various movie celebrities, stars, directors, and producers continue to appear...

　　 The impression that this Venice Film Festival left on journalists can be described in four words.

　　——The stars are dim!

　　 "See it, right? 　Everything was said to me."

"The Cannes Film Festival that has just passed? 　 It has attracted many stars from all over the world, Xiao Li, Brad Pitt, Spielberg, Zhang Yimou, James Cameron, Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie..."

　　"But look at this Venice Film Festival again? 　These world-famous directors and celebrities? 　None was there, the whole star was dim."

　　 "There are six major Hollywood companies!"

　　"When the Cannes Film Festival was held? 　They sent at least department director-level executives, but? 　It's the turn of the Venice Film Festival? 　The person they sent was at most a middle manager, which was very perfunctory."

　　 The media interview area is silent.

　　 How can the dim starlight film festival make them happy?

　　 Without celebrities, how do they pursue exposure?

　　 So what? 　 The faces of the media reporters at the scene were full of unhappy expressions.

　　 But!

　　 Suddenly at this moment? 　Someone in the crowd shouted: "Look, it's Mr. Zucker Wald!"

　　 Boom! boom! boom!

　　In an instant, the media reporters became agitated.

"Good afternoon everybody."

　　 Zhuke led the film "Burst Drummer" team on the red carpet.

　　 James Win, Ray Warner, Damien Chazele, J.K. Simmons... followed closely.

　　 For a time, various astigmatism lights and film continue to shine.

　　As far as this Venice Film Festival is concerned? 　Zuke is undoubtedly the biggest player, even looking at the Venice Film Festival in the past 10 years? 　Zuke is also the top three in name and origin.

　　 Hollywood's top second-tier movies-the boss of the company Wald Pictures;

　　 The boss of the American media giant Golden Dawn Entertainment Group;

　　 "Lola Run", "Finding Nemo", "300 Spartan", "Spiderman", "Harry Potter", "My Grand Greek Wedding"...

　　 In recent years, Zhu Ke has created a series of breathtaking masterpieces.

　　 "Zuke Wald alone? 　 is enough to top 10 celebrities!" a reporter exclaimed.

　　As soon as this remark came out, many media reporters around him deeply agreed.

As far as the profession of "director" is concerned? 　Participated in the "Blasting Drummer" movie in the main competition unit of this film festival? 　 is Zhu Ke's third personal film; exclude the short film "Tuner"? 　 It is Zhu Ke The second feature film.

　　 "In the first half of 1996, a film "Run Lola" turned out!"

　　 "The cost of its film production is only more than 800,000 US dollars, but it has harvested nearly 10 million US dollars in the box office in North America, especially in Europe, it directly swept hundreds of millions of US dollars in the box office."

　　 "And "Lola Run" is just Mr. Zucker Wald's first solo movie!"

　　 "The name of a genius director spreads like wildfire!"

　　 Many media reporters recalled Zhu Ke’s glorious victories in the past and imagined Zhu Ke’s gains in this film festival.

　　 "Can Mr. Wald win the Lion Award of this year's film festival?"

　　 This issue has instantly become a topic of discussion among many media reporters.

　　......

　　 Film Festival Awards Ceremony, officially opened.

　　Best New Director Award, Best Photography Award, Special Award, Little Golden Lion Award and other awards, the list is announced one after another.

　　 "Won the Volpi Cup-Best Actor Award at the 58th Venice Film Festival..."

　　 "Congratulations to "The Love Passing Through Your Eyes", congratulations to Luigilo Chauca!"

　　 The award-presenting guests announced the results loudly.

　　 Simmons, who was sitting in the seat of the crew of "Burst Drummer", suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

　　 Simmons, he is also one of the candidates for the Best Actor Award of this year's film festival, but now he has failed.

　　 "Are you okay, buddy."

　　 James Win comforted.

Simmons smiled strongly: "I'm fine. I lost the Best Actor Award, which means that our "Burst Drummer" movie has a greater chance of winning the Golden Lion Award for Best Picture or Silver Lion Award for Best Director. Up."

　　 James Win nodded.

　　 Looking at the three major European film festivals, almost all of them are divided into cakes.

　　 You took away the actor, you almost lost the best film and best director opportunities.

　　 "Boss, are you confident to win the Golden Lion Award?"

　　 At this moment, Ray Warner, one of the screenwriters, suddenly asked.

"Uh?"

　　 Zhuke was taken aback, and then he smiled slightly: "Who knows? But I believe that even if I lose, I will still be the most beautiful cub in the game."

　　Ray Warner: "......"

　　 I feel that you are pretending, but I have no evidence.

　　 In fact, Zhuke doesn’t really care whether he can get the big prize.

　　 Please, Zhu Ke never thought of continuing on the path of the director.

　　 Compared to becoming a well-known director, Zhu Ke prefers green bills and enjoys the feeling of being in control of everything behind the scenes!

　　 However... luck often covets some people!

　　 "The film that won the Golden Lion Award at the 58th Venice Film Festival is..."Burst Drummer"!"

　　 "Congratulations, Mr. Zhuke Wald!"

　　 Nanni Moretti, chairman of this festival, personally announced the results of the Golden Lion Awards.

　　 Suddenly applause resounded throughout the venue.

　　 "Boss, awesome!"

　　Ray Warner, James Win, Simmons and others all congratulate Zhuke.

　　Damien Chazele, the starring student~www.novelmtl.com~, yelled with excitement. He was very happy.

　　 But... Classmate Zhu Ke is calm and calm.

　　 Well, at least on the surface there is a feeling of "I didn't want to win a prize".

　　Ray Warner whispered: "Boss, just pretend to be."

　　 Zhuke spread his hands, and said with a smile: "I really didn't want to win the prize, everything is very unexpected. I was also very surprised to win the biggest award of this film festival."

　　Lee Warner's mouth twitched.

　　 Hearing this, the mood of James Wen and others at the moment seems to have suffered a huge blow.

　　 However, in fact, Zhuke really doesn't think about winning the prize.

　　 In a word, Zhu Ke does not lack it.

　　With it without it, it does not affect Zhuke's position in the film circle. The Golden Lion Award is the icing on the cake.

　　 The third update of "" is sent.

　　 In fact, if it is spread out, the minister can write more than a dozen chapters only for the content of the film festival, such as adding some movie descriptions of "Burst Drummer", plus some character conflicts, flips, etc.

　　 However, the Minister felt unnecessary.

　　 I have already written about the Cannes Film Festival before, and it is more specific, so there is no need to write too much at the Venice Film Festival, it will be watery.

　　 Therefore, the Minister decided to take it in a few words and continue to write the main storyline.
