Chapter 475

Mark and Giselle both attended the high-level Party of the Venice Film Festival. The party was organized by the Italian Ministry of culture, and some officials from the Ministry of culture and the city hall also attended. Of course, the main members were the members of the Film Festival Organizing Committee and the selection committee. They talked about life and ideal while singing and dancing.

Mark also met famous Chinese directors Zhang Yimou, Jia Zhangke, Du Qifeng, Jiang Wen and other famous directors. Together with mark and Ang Lee, who are also Chinese Americans, the Chinese American Legion is the main legion of the film festival.

Although mark is of Chinese descent, he is different from Zhang Yimou, a peasant born and Miao Hong rooted national teacher. He is a capitalist and albino Chinese descent, belonging to the yellow skin and white heart, and the two sides are in a state of competition. Mark is a vertical force in the global expansion of Hollywood Legion, a member of pop culture imperialism, and obtains resources through overseas expansion, Zhang Guoshi belongs to the local school. He adheres to the concept of localization film. Of course, he also has the heart to go out, but in Hollywood, he will always encounter competition and sniping with these giant companies.

The two sides meet on a narrow road. The brave wins, but the Hollywood Legion still has the upper hand. If the two sides can't pee in a pot, it's natural to say nothing.

Mark had a good talk with Ang Lee. Ang Lee, as a brother and pillar of the focus film industry, is difficult to dig unless he is the acquisition focus. Cooperation is also in the form of a company. In fact, Ang Lee has cooperated with Columbia company. Crouching tiger, hidden dragon was invested, distributed and promoted by Colombia. This time, the two sides also held talks on the cooperation of lust, caution.

The Colombian side is led by Pascal. In this film festival, they mainly promote "no country for old people" and explore some valuable European films. They are the largest and most popular film makers in this film festival.

Muller flattered mark relatively, hoping that Mark would support his re-election and his film palace plan.

Venice Film Festival was once controlled by the Italian * * * government. In 1938, Cannes Film Festival came into being to fight against the Venice Film Festival controlled by * * *. However, the awards of Venice Film Festival from 1938 to 1942 were not recognized by future generations. In 1946, Venice Film Festival cancelled the "Mussolini Cup" to eliminate the influence of Mussolini * * * government.

However, it is embarrassing that the film palace, the venue of the film festival, has always been the film palace in Mussolini's era. Successive organizing committees have reconstruction plans, but they can't travel because of the huge capital gap.

Mueller runs in the middle, draws a lot of financial sponsorship from the government and consortia, and obtains a lot of accumulation by successfully operating the Venice International Film Festival. He hopes to obtain political chips through the transformation of the film palace, so as to be re elected. So far, no chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Venice International Film Festival has been re elected.

He will never let go of a gold owner like mark. He is trying his best to sell the film palace to mark

Of course, he believes that this is to promote the world film culture and better promote the development of art film industry.

Of course, mark won't eat this set. He is also a person who doesn't see rabbits or spread eagles. Unless the Venice Film palace leaves a good memory for him, mark means that it is so obvious that he will never donate money without benefits. It's worth spending money to buy honor in his current position.

Muller's heart leads his heart. Mark can have today's status and wealth. Of course, he is not a fool. It's not easy to deceive him.

Venice Film Festival focuses on film experimenters from various countries and encourages them to shoot films with novel forms and unique techniques. Even if there are some defects, they can be accepted by the film festival as long as they are innovative. The purpose of the film festival is "film serves serious art", and different slogans are put forward every year, and the evaluation standard is very pure: artistry.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the Venice Film Festival explored a large number of emerging European filmmakers. Although the film it chose may not be the best work of the director, it is always leading the development trend of European art film.

This makes Venice Film Festival, Berlin Film Festival in Germany, Cannes Film Festival in France, Toronto International Film Festival in Canada and karlovifali Film Festival in Czech Republic the five international film festivals recognized by the international film Federation; It is also one of the four major art film festivals in the world (Berlin Film Festival in Germany, Venice Film Festival in Italy, Cannes International Film Festival in France and Moscow Film Festival in Russia).

Muller is an old bird in the film industry and a gold medal old gangster. Many films produced and CO produced by him have won awards in major film festivals. For example, Chinese new year home directed by Zhang Yuan won five awards in the 56th Venice Film Festival; Landless won the 74th Academy Award for best foreign language film; "Secret ballot" won the best director award of the 58th Venice Film Festival, but he is better in film management.

As early as 1979, he independently founded the "shadow of electricity" Film Festival in Turin, presenting Chinese films on a large scale in the international field for the first time, which became a traditional project in Turin at that time due to its good response. After that, he served as the chairman of the bossalu Film Festival and the Rotterdam Film Festival. In 1983, he arranged the "all aspects of Asian films" unit at the pessalu Film Festival to organize special screening of Hong Kong films.

In 1986, Muller's outstanding talent in film research and organization attracted the attention of the Venice Film Festival. They asked Marco to be specially responsible for film selection in Asia. Since then, he has served as the film selection in Asia of the film festival Selection Committee for 18 years. In his first year in office, he took the field directed by Ling Zifeng (starring Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqing) He also introduced the loess land directed by Chen Kaige to the Locarno Film Festival. Even the final film won the silver leopard award. He took the award on behalf of him. The first Chinese film won the award at the venez Film Festival and the red lantern hung high directed by Zhang Yimou It was also recommended by him.

Since 1991, he has served as the president of Locarno film festival for 10 years. During that period, the Golden Leopard award has been given to some films that have not been released in China, such as I am your father directed by Wang Shuo and Mr. Zhao directed by LV le. He is recognized as the first person in recommending Chinese films to the world.

Since 2004, Muller has served as the president of the Venice International Film Festival for a term of four years. As an old bird in the industry, Muller intends to seek re-election. He has made a statement to get through with the domestic government. If he has excellent political achievements, it is not a big problem to be re elected for another term.

The key is political achievements. Mueller asked people to make a budget. It would take 50 million euros to rebuild the film palace. This is the reason why the group members of all generations are powerless. If they can show this dazzling report card, they will be re elected.

Now Hollywood tycoon mark has come. In Muller's eyes, it is a fat sheep, which has become the key to the reconstruction of the film palace? Muller put down his body and did his best to flatter. If Mark didn't come with his wife, he would send women to mark's room for Mark's favor.

Mark shook the red wine in the crystal glass and said, "10 million euros is just a number for me. The key is whether it can make me happy."

Pascal next to mark was more straightforward and said: "the beer of no country for old people in beimi is against the sky, and the score in the media is invincible. I don't know what chairman Muller thinks of him?"

They sing and make peace, and the meaning is very obvious. Of course, Muller is singing praises. He can't wait to boast about the film from a professional and artistic point of view.

Pascal said: "in fact, Mr. mark Wang's family foundation has a professional charitable fund. So far this year, it has donated as much as 50 million, including the support and funding of public welfare film projects. The project of the film palace meets the application conditions."

Muller was overjoyed and said, "I'll arrange someone to apply right away."

Daniel, the publicity director on Mark's right, smiled and said, "if every application was approved, we would have gone bankrupt. More than 20 people in the foundation reviewed and approved the projects, and more than 90% of the projects were rejected. The foundation was founded by Mr. mark Wang, and his will can override all regulations."

Muller said, "what do you mean?"

Daniel said: "two awards, two small awards, 10 million euros."

Muller's face changed slightly and said with a bitter smile, "this requirement is too much. I didn't open the selection team alone."

The qualifications of each of the judges in the whole director's lineup are worth mentioning. Chairman Zhang Yimou won the Golden Lion award with "Qiuju lawsuit" and "no less" respectively, and won the Silver Lion award with "the red lantern hanging high"; French female director Catherine Breyer wrote and directed romance; The piano lesson, written and directed by New Zealand female director Jane Campion, won the Oscar for best actress, best supporting actress and best original screenplay; Alejandro Gonzalez inalido's "21g" and "Tower of heaven" are famous all over the world, and have won the best director award of Cannes Film Festival and the best director award of Oscar; Fossen ozpett from Turkey swept all the important film awards in Italy with his "lust".

Daniel said: "this is your territory. If you don't even have this control, is it unrealistic to seek re-election? It's estimated that no one will bid higher for two hundred and fifty thousand trophies."

Muller's face collapsed.

Mark touched the cup with him and said, "I'm a businessman and won't do anything bad." then he patted each other on the shoulder and danced with Giselle.

Daniel said, "only after the reconstruction of the film palace can you be re elected. Re elected is your territory, otherwise it's nothing."

Muller said, "three? I can't guarantee the Golden Lion Award."

Daniel smiled and said, "the Golden Lion award is our goal. Do you think those leftovers are worth 2.5 million?"
