1639 [Going to the Three Treasures Hall for Nothing]
June 23rd, evening.
In summer, he came out of Ye Zimei's fragrance boudoir and then took a bus to participate in the midnight trial of "The Fire Dance in the Storm".
"Hani, can't you stay for a while? I really can't bear to leave." Ye Zimei hugged Xia Tian's neck affectionately and said in a sweet voice.
"Be good, I'll come back when I go. You can wash yourself at home and wait for me to come back to fight you for three hundred rounds." Xia Tian kissed her and said with a smile.
"Hate~" Ye Zimei blushed with shame and said coquettishly.
Xia Tian laughed and took a bus to the theater.
When I arrived at the theater, I saw that the reporters had already been waiting here.
When I saw Xia Tian’s car coming, they all surrounded me.
Before Xia Tian got off the car, the microphone surrounded him, and then the problem came to him like a machine gun!
"Mr. Xia, you have won awards at the Berlin Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival. Are you interested in participating in the Venetian Film Festival?"
"When will the three movies, "Chongqing Forest", "Dream Man" and "Lame Hao" be released?"
"Mr. Xia, what is your relationship with Sophie Marceau, and why do you want to cooperate with her?"
The reporters asked one after another.
I won the award at the Cannes Film Festival in the summer. Such great news has made Hong Kong media excited and I know that the big news is coming, so I can report it to the big news.
However, Xia Tian only accepted exclusive interviews with his own media such as Ming Pao and Tiantian Daily, and ignored them completely, which made them helpless. Now that they finally found an opportunity, they of course had to ask questions.
"Today is the midnight preview of "The Fire Dance" and everyone is focusing on the movie?" Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled after hearing these questions.
"Mr. Xia, please answer. We promise to help you promote this movie well. Isn't it okay?" A reporter begged pitifully.
"Yes, Mr. Xia, respond!" When the reporters heard this, they all agreed.
"Okay, I'll just answer a few simple questions." Xia Tian nodded, "At this year's Venice Film Festival, our Tianxia Pictures will no longer send movies to participate in the competition.
Because in recent months, our Tianxia Film has been filming popular commercial films and is unlikely to win awards. So instead of showing off its ugly side, it is better to hide its weakness. However, although we will not participate in the award competition, we will also participate in the Venice Film Festival trade fair."
Among the three major international film festivals, the Berlin Film Festival is more political, the Cannes Film Festival is more literary and artistic, and the Venetian Film Festival is more innovative. The more novel the film shooting form and the more unique the technique, the easier it is to win awards at the Venetian Film Festival.
In his previous life, Chinese people made many achievements in this film festival. For example, Zhang Yimou won many awards for "The Big Red Lantern Hanging High", "Autumn Ju's Suit", and "No One Can Leave". Taiwanese directors Cai Mingliang, Li An, Hou Hsiao-hsien and others also won awards at the Venice Film Festival for their works.
Only Hong Kong filmmakers rarely win awards at the Venice Film Festival, only Wu Yusen has won the Lifetime Achievement Award, and Ye Dexian won the Best Actress Award for "Sister Tao".
Therefore, in summer, instead of letting Hong Kong directors shoot movies to challenge the Venice Film Festival, it is better to invite mainland or Taiwan directors to try it out, with a higher success rate.
Hong Kong directors can make every effort to advance to the Cannes Film Festival, such as Wang Jiawei, Ou Dingping, Tan Guoming, and Kwan Jinpeng, all of whom have the potential to become famous there.
Good steel is used on the blade, which is also one of the secrets to success in summer.
...
"The three movies "Chongqing Forest", "Dream Man" and "Lame Hao" will be released in the near future. I hope everyone will be more patient." Xia Tian introduced again.
"Chongqing Forest" won two consecutive awards at the Cannes Film Festival, which attracted the interest of Hong Kong people. Everyone wanted to see what kind of movie it was. Although "Dream Man" did not win the award, it was amazing to be shortlisted, so it was also expected by movie fans.
As for "The Lame" has not won the award or been shortlisted, it is obviously a masterpiece that can be exhibited. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to bring humiliation to the summer, so they are also very interested in this movie.
As a shrewd businessman, Xia Tian will certainly not miss this opportunity in vain. He will take advantage of the Cannes Film Festival as soon as possible to arrange the release of these three movies, which should achieve a good box office.
"Miss Sophie Marceau and I have nothing to do with each other, or it's just a simple cooperative relationship. The reason I work with her is because she is suitable for this role, and there is no other reason." Xia Tian said again.
...
After dealing with the reporters, Xia Tian walked to meet with everyone in the crew.
"Brother Tian~", "Mr. Xia", "Boss"...
Everyone greeted each other.
Xia Tian also nodded with a smile.
"Boss, thanks to you today, otherwise, we alone wouldn't have so many reporters." Director Chen Musheng said with a smile.
"Hey, don't belittle yourself. Director Chen is also a well-known director in Hong Kong now, so why can't he attract reporters?" Xia Tian said with a smile.
Chen Musheng directed the movie "Curry Pepper" last year and achieved very good box office results. He is also a rising star in the Hong Kong film industry today.
"Mr. Xia, you are so rewarding." Chen Musheng couldn't help but say happily when he heard Xia Tian praise him like this.
At this moment, assistant Tan Guolun ran over, "Boss, Mr. Huang Baiming is here."
"Oh?!" Xia Tian was stunned and asked in confusion, "Director Chen, is Mr. Huang you invited?"
"No, I'm not very familiar with Mr. Huang." Chen Musheng waved his hand quickly, feeling confused about Huang Baiming's sudden arrival.
When Xia Tian saw him denying it, he became more and more suspicious. He didn't know why Huang Baiming suddenly arrived.
But since people are here, we always have to welcome them.
He then brought everyone to meet him, "Mr. Huang, welcome!"
"Mr. Xia, I heard that your company has a new film released, so I came to congratulate you specially. I wish your new film a great success and a successful box office!" Huang Baiming said with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you, please Ji Yan." Xia Tian waved his hand and smiled and took a photo together."
"Okay, thank you." Huang Baiming immediately stood with Xia Tian and asked the reporter to take a few photos.
"Mr. Xia, a few days ago, when Fanny asked you for a script at the Cannes Film Festival, you said you should consider it..." After taking the photo, Huang Baiming whispered to Xia Tian.
When Xia Tian heard what he said, he suddenly realized what his purpose was to come this time. It really conformed to the old saying of the ancients, you can go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble!
