Chapter 321: Venice Film Festival

Seek starting point subscription, collection, monthly pass

The "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" crew went to the Venice Film Festival, including several main actors in the film, as well as several staff members from Golden Harvest.

Ryan, as one of the award presenters, also set off for Venice.

But the difference is that the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" flew from Xiangjiang to Paris, and then flew from Paris to Venice.

Ryan took Sofia Coppola and his party directly from Los Angeles to Venice, and then took a boat to the venue of the Venice Film Festival.

Lido Island, a very charming island, is only 12 kilometers long. The shape of the entire island is like a slanted line, traversing the southeast and southeast directions of Venice.

This is a world-famous recuperation sanctuary, and there are beautiful beaches everywhere. Looking from a distance, the calm sea is covered with a thin piece of gold.

Instead of staying in the hospitality hotel arranged by the film festival, Ryan and his team chose a famous tourist hotel. Standing on the balcony of the room, they could clearly see the huge public beach not far away.

"It's beautiful, isn't it!"

Ryan was holding a glass of red wine, looking at the large stretch of beach outside, he couldn't help but feel a little relaxed and happy, "It seems that the filming of "Soul Break Venice" directed by Thomas Mann was filmed here."

Sofia Coppola's complexion seemed a bit uneasy, she was a little seasick just now, and she was not feeling well these days, "If you want to try a **** beach, I'm afraid you will be disappointed, there is no public nudist beach on Lido Island. "

"Unless you're going to one of those private **** beach parties."

There are many countries in Europe that have legal nudist beaches, but there are only two huge public beaches on Lido Island, so it is obviously impossible to become a nudist beach.

Of course, Lido Island has many small private beaches, and occasionally holds a naturist party.

Ryan withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Sofia Coppola, and shrugged at her, "Please, do you think I'm suitable for nudist beach!"

With his status, it is obviously not suitable to go to any **** beach.

"Who knows?"

Sofia Coppola curled her lips. As Ryan's playboy, she would not feel any surprise when she went to a nudist beach.

"Okay, let's change the subject."

"Has there been any progress with the LAPD investigation?"

Ryan wisely changed the subject, although he had been planning to buy a private beach to occasionally serve as a **** beach.

But forget about the public nudist beaches and naturist parties.

"No, apart from the fact that someone put drugs in the food, there is almost no progress."

Sofia Coppola said with a trace of helplessness: "Hollywood crews have accidents that cannot be investigated every year. In the end, it is difficult to draw any conclusions. You'd better not have expectations from the Los Angeles Police Department."

Without a specific target, Ryan and Orion Films couldn't find someone to vent their anger on, and they couldn't take revenge on all Hollywood film companies.

"What about the "Blade Runner" thing!" Ryan continued to ask.

"The IRS received an anonymous report. Even if the IRS knew something, they would not disclose it to the outside world." Sofia Coppola shook her head.

The IRS has its own principles of confidentiality and needs to protect sources.

Not to mention Orion Films, even the Los Angeles Police Department has nothing to do with the IRS.

"Well, it looks like another headless case."

Ryan changed his voice, "However, some things don't need evidence."

He hasn't cared about this matter recently, but it doesn't mean he really forgot.

"What do you think!" Sofia Coppola asked curiously.

"Just got the news that Miramax Films will face an employee lawsuit!" Ryan took a sip of red wine, and then said lightly: "You can ask someone to give you some legal support in private, and it's best to implicate Disney together. go in."

Recently, Miramax Films has not been peaceful. First, it established a magazine without Disney's consent.

It made Disney CEO Michael Eisner very dissatisfied.

In addition, 30 former employees of Miramax Films are preparing to sue for unpaid overtime wages.

Sofia Coppola nodded without saying anything.

There are some things that Orion needs someone to shoot at, Miramax or not, and the Wayne Brothers are a good fit.

What's more, Harvey Weinstein keeps making small moves and has been in close contact with Robert Shea, Michael Ovitz and others.

Compared with the leisure time of Ryan and his group, the crew members of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" who settled in the Venice Film Festival reception hotel were much busier.

Just after laying down the salute, I didn't have time to rest, so I immediately contacted the film festival committee to organize people to build the booth.

The main actors of the rest of the crew also need to wear exquisite costumes and are ready to be interviewed by media reporters

Orion Films has already arranged interviews with many large European media, so there is no need for actors to enter and leave the hotel door like other shortlisted crews, hoping to be photographed by reporters squatting around.

In the evening, I will also participate in a well-known local talk show in Venice.

It can be said that the treatment of the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" made many crew members shortlisted for the main competition very envious.

That's the advantage of being backed by a Hollywood studio.

"Hi beautiful lady, my name is Arcas, a reporter from the British "Daily Telegraph"."

The two reporters from the British "Daily Telegraph" looked at Zhang Ziyi and Yang Ziyu sitting in front of them, and they couldn't help showing a little doubt.

Not only them, but everyone who has heard of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is amazed at what kind of film it is, and it is worth Orion Pictures' investment of 10 million U.S. dollars.

"Excuse me, ladies, are you all Chinese?" Arcas asked the first question.

Yang Ziyu was born in Malaysia, and English is one of her mother tongues. She replied very fluently: "Yes, we are all Chinese."

"It's rare to see such a beautiful Chinese star in Europe." Arcas praised very politely, "Can you tell me what kind of movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is?"

"Is it a kung fu movie like "Rush Hour 2" starring Ms. Zhang!"

While speaking, he made gestures.

Hearing this, Zhang Ziyi showed a embarrassed look. Her English level is not very good, and she can communicate in ordinary times.

But when introducing what is martial arts, rivers and lakes, etc., I was a little confused.

Yang Ziyu thought for a while, and said firstly: "Mr. Akas, you can browse the information first, which introduced the plot of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in detail."

While talking, she winked at the crew and asked them to bring over the viewing materials of the film.

Arcas took the browsing materials and read them carefully, and said with admiration: "It's a great sci-fi romantic movie."

Looking at Arcas, Zhang Ziyi's expression froze slightly, what the **** is a sci-fi romantic love movie?

For European and American audiences, movies that fly around can be classified as science fiction movies, and the love-hate relationship between Yu Jiaolong and Luo Xiaohu in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is undoubtedly a romantic love movie.

After asking a few more questions, Arcas glanced at his companion, and then said to the two: "Two beautiful ladies, can you take some photos!"

"Of course." Yang Ziyu agreed with a smile.

Then, the two stood up, posed several poses, and took photos for a long time before Arcas asked the photographer to put away the camera, say goodbye and leave.

The Venice Film Festival has not yet opened, and reports on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have appeared in many European newspapers and magazines.

Firstly, it has a large amount of publicity funds paid by Orion Films, and secondly, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" became the opening film of the Venice Film Festival, which aroused the curiosity of many public readers.

However, as a crew from the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the crew of "Not One Less" seemed deserted.

"Director Zhang, can you tell Ms. Zhang to help introduce some media reporters!"

Producer Zhang Zhen couldn't help but said, "It doesn't need to be a well-known European media, Italian local media will do."

"It's useless." Lao Mouzi shook his head, "The publicity plan of the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" crew was all arranged by Orion Films, so she can't speak at all."

It's not that Zhang Ziyi doesn't want to help ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but that in the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" crew, except for Ang Lee, no one else can get along with Orion Films, let alone those European media.

It is obviously impossible for Orion Films to spend publicity resources for an irrelevant crew.

At this time, the screenwriter Shi Xiang came in, "Good news, the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" plans to hold a banquet tonight, and all the crews of Chinese-language participating films are invited to participate."

banquet!

Lao Mouzi's face was a bit unsightly, he didn't really want to go to such a banquet.

Shi Xiang didn't see Lao Mouzi's face, and continued to say excitedly: "The crew of "Rush Hour 2" is on the invitation list, and there are many Hollywood stars and European stars."

"It is said that Ryan Gosling, who directed "Inception," will also be there in person."

Lao Mouzi opened his mouth, but in the end he did not refuse to go.
