Chapter 170 I'm glad I didn't win the award

"Gulu, Gulu... Smecta."

Wu Xiang doesn't understand, but she doesn't give up. Koreans are very good at this. If you don't understand, I will chase after you and ask. Moreover, she is a female reporter. Why don't you give me face?

It’s okay. The organizing committee seems to have some integrity. Knowing that there were many Koreans and Japanese coming this time, they still provided translators.

After a lot of struggling, I finally figured out what the Korean reporter wanted to ask. It turns out that what they were asking Wu Xiang was.

"Are you director Wu Xiang?"

Wu Xiang naturally answered immediately, "It's me."

Then they asked again, "Director Wu Xiang, are you frustrated that you didn't win an award at the Venice Film Festival this time?"

Upon hearing this question, Wu Xiang burst into laughter.

"Why should I be depressed?" Wu Xiang answered with a smile.

People said again, "Director Wu Xiang is the youngest best director in China, but he didn't win the award at the Venice Film Festival this time. Isn't it frustrating?"

"Hehehe..." Wu Xiang really couldn't hold it in any longer, and his laughter became louder and louder.

"Director Wu Xiang, please respect me! Smecta!" The person was still angry.

Wu Xiang took a moment to calm down and clarify his thoughts.

In fact, there is a reason why the Korean female reporter asked this question, that is, Korean movies performed well at the Venice Film Festival this time.

That "Oasis" won three awards including Best Director, Best New Actor (Moon So-ri), Best Short Film. Let's take a look at the other awards at the Venice Film Festival, the Golden Lion Award for Best Film,

The award was given to "Sisters of the Brothel", the Grand Jury Prize was given to "Bedlam". The Best Actress was Julianne Moore, the Special Jury Prize was given to "Snake in June", and the San Marco Award was given to "Spring in a Small Town".

To put it bluntly, this time the Koreans are competing for face. This female reporter is here to show off her power, and she also knows our domestic film industry relatively well. She knows Wu Xiang and knows that he has won the best director. Otherwise, she

How did she get here? But I don't know if she can speak Mandarin.

However, after sorting out these things, Wu Xiang knew how to answer this reporter's question.

"Let me tell you briefly, for this Venice Film Festival, let's take a look at the award-winning films from South Korea and Japan. What kind of films are they? In those films, they are either perverted or mentally retarded, or they have particularly deformed love affairs.

Do people who watch this stuff feel normal in their own minds? I don’t think so. And let me tell you, if I make a movie like this, I will never make it. And I’ll tell you again! Because of this kind of movie

I won the prize, even if I don’t want it. To sum up, I’m very happy that I didn’t win the prize this time!”

At this point, Wu Xiang hasn't finished speaking yet. His last sentence is this, "If you like to kneel before those so-called artist judges, then just kneel! I don't like it! I don't have this habit either."

!”

"..." The previous words were translated, but for the last sentence, Li Yuncong was dumbfounded and looked at Wu Xiang. What do you mean, do you want to translate it?

"Turn over! What's the total? If you miss one word, get out of here!" Wu Xiang has nothing to be afraid of!

"..." Diligulu said something, and the translator over there turned even paler. This was tantamount to scolding them.

But after translating, the Korean female reporter's face instantly turned red.

"Wu Xiang! Just wait for me!" Don't get me wrong, this was said by no one else but the Korean female reporter from before.

"Hehehe... Okay, I'll wait for you! But I'm going back to China, do you want my phone number?" Wu Xiang had a very bad smile.

"Fu-ck-temptation!" The female reporter was angry at that time and immediately spouted a classic sentence.

But as soon as these words came out, the whole audience looked at each other with suspicion. Everyone could understand. Everyone turned towards the Korean female reporter, and many people even looked at other Koreans with a strange look.

reporter.

Sometimes, this face is caused by myself...

The Venice Film Festival has come to an end. Unexpectedly, two big news came out. One was Aunt Gong Li who was very embarrassed, and the other was Wu Xiang who made reporters unable to get off the stage. This news was quickly spread back to the country.

, the public opinion immediately exploded.

The thing about Aunt Gong Li is quite excusable. Maybe the organizing committee didn’t arrange it well, right? Therefore, this news topic is still ordinary, and many people complain about it and defend the organizing committee.

That's fine, it just passed like this, but Wu Xiang's situation was a big deal.

"Is this still a great director? This is so rude! Doesn't this embarrass our countrymen in the world? He insults others in public like this!"

"Fart! How could Wu Xiang be scolding? What he said is not true? This idiot upstairs must think that foreigners' shit smells good!"

"I didn't say anything, support Wu Xiang! Bangzi is an idiot! Damn it, these bastards hacked my Italy in the World Cup!"

"Nah! You even hacked my big duck!"

"That's right! That's a group of weird sticks! On the surface, they kneel down to support Italy, but in the end, they were disgraced in the World Cup. They deserve to be scolded by Wu Xiang! It's so cool to be scolded!"

"To be honest, I think Wu Xiang was very polite and didn't scold anyone. Not only that, it also reminded me of the idea of ​​watching those movies. Those of you upstairs, do you have the resources?

"

There is a quarrel on the Internet again, mainly around Wu Xiang's verbal battle with foreign reporters. There are some praises and some derogations. Anyway, that's it. Our domestic comments will never be unified.

When the closing ceremony was held, Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Jingchu had already returned to China. They were actually just showing their faces, making their presence felt, and promoting it. They all knew that their film would not be shortlisted for the competition, so why were they still waiting?

?

Therefore, like Hai Qing, they all expressed condolences to Wu Xiang on the phone. A group of good friends also called, including Brother Kun and Yan Bo.

Wu Xiang hasn't returned to China yet because he wants to see how "Emperor of Hanwu" performs in Europe.

September 10th was the day when "Emperor of Han" was released in France, and this day was also the day when Wu Xiang's remarks at the Venice Film Festival broke out, causing quite an uproar in public opinion.

It's okay to be in an uproar, but why is it still so serious?

Because this is an Asian director’s challenge to Europe’s mainstream artistic outlook!

Anyway, that’s how European public opinion sees it. I don’t care what you think. Anyway, if you say so, then I think so.

As a result, many newspapers and websites began to make profound criticisms of Wu Xiang's remarks, which suddenly seemed to be a storm. Not only that, the Venice Film Festival officials also reacted immediately. They issued a statement, that is

The works of Chinese director Wu Xiang will never be selected to participate in the Venice Film Festival!

This statement is very powerful, it should be said that it is very shocking. Generally, no one is treated like this, but...

"Let me tell you, this young man named Wu Xiang told the truth! I have watched all those movies, are you fooling him? What is that? Isn't it just a Category III movie? I can also fucking shoot it!

"

"That's right! What the hell are those judges saying about art? In fact, it's just to satisfy their perverted psychology!"

"Oh my god, I really can't believe what would happen if those videos were seen by children? Look at our world. There are more and more perverts now. Isn't it because of these bastards?"

"God! I swear to you, it was those bastards who created all those bastards!"

"For example, it seems that Wu Xiang's film is also being released. Why don't we go and see it?"...

What people didn't expect was that when Li Yuncong looked through the comments on the Internet, many of them spoke for Wu Xiang, and many even wanted to watch "Emperor Wu of Han".

"Angkor! I see many people are speaking for you!" Li Yuncong was quite excited!

At this time, Wu Xiang was holding a cup of latte and taking a sip. This posture was definitely enough to show off!

That's right, 80% of Wu Xiang was pretending at this time. In fact, when he was in Venice, he really didn't expect that so many people would come to speak for him. Really, those people were really

It's not a troll. In fact, the reason why Wu Xiang wanted to scold the Korean female reporter in the first place was out of righteous indignation.

But now, it’s so refreshing!

To be honest, Koreans are really speechless sometimes, especially reporters. Whenever something good comes out of their own country, they have to take pictures of bad things from other countries, especially Japan and our country.

Different people respond to each other. The most obvious manifestation was in the previous World Cup, which was extremely disgusting, ugh~

In other words, Wu Xiang actually did not expect this result, but the posture he showed now of having everything under control really impressed Li Yuncong!

Therefore, pretending to be cool is sometimes very refreshing...

So, the most important thing now is the box office of "Emperor of Han" in Europe. This is considered a large-scale release. What is the result?

On September 10th, "Emperor of Han Dynasty" took over 2 million euros at the box office!

This result is quite good. Although it may not seem like much, at this time, the summer season has passed and this is a market downturn.

There is no way, because m6 is not a particularly powerful company when it comes to arranging films on a large scale. It is impossible to have a large scale and get a good schedule at the same time. You know, it is easy to get Hollywood blockbusters in Europe, and they also prefer Hollywood.

work.

The performance on the first day was acceptable, but the performance on the second day was amazing enough. "Emperor of Hanwu" took over 5 million euros at the box office!

The box office has increased significantly, but it is not over yet. On the third day, "Emperor of Han Dynasty" received more than 7 million in box office. This is simply a steady upward trend... (To be continued...)

ps: Thanks to Brother Long Shao for the reward, thank you very much!
Chapter completed!
