Chapter 418 Opening Film
These news will take the next day to ferment, but the red carpet ceremony continues.
Fan Xiaopang has successfully attracted the attention of many people with his first stunning appearance in Cannes.
Especially her eastern perspective, she has allowed Hollywood filmmakers to smell business opportunities.
In recent years, Hollywood has been seeking to expand its new overseas market, and Asia is undoubtedly the best choice.
So they are willing to stuff some Asian faces into the movie to win the favor of local audiences.
Although this trick is simple, it is very practical. Especially in this era, many citizens of the Third World are eager to be respected and recognized by developed countries.
But in Xizi Film and Television's plan, it is impossible to let Fan Xiaopang play a vase in Hollywood.
Because it's completely unnecessary
"Director Dong, you are both a director and an actor, so have you ever received any roles that impressed you?" After walking through the red carpet, Bellucci, the beautiful woman who acted as the host, played the role of an interview.
Jiang Wen acted as a translator on the side: "This girl asked you, have you ever played a weird role, or have you received an invitation from a weird role."
Although he didn't believe in Jiang Wen's translation level, Dong Xi still smiled and said, "I don't know if it's considered an alternative role. Last year, director Li An asked tentatively if I wanted to play a superhero."
"Well, superhero?" Bellucci repeated curiously with his big eyes.
This does sound a bit inexplicable, and it seems that it is difficult for Asians to associate with superheroes.
But Dong Xi did not lie. He did receive an invitation from Li An to let him star in the new film directed by him.
Thanks to the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Li An returned to the sight of Hollywood investors.
His first commercial blockbuster was "The Hulk", which invested over 100 million US dollars, and then he invited Dong Xi to join.
The specific character was not disclosed, but the other party's meaning was that if Dong Xi was willing to join, the role would not be too light.
He would even consider making him a role in Hulk, a superhero with yellow skin.
This "cake" is very big, Dong Xi admitted that he was moved for a moment.
Since the success of "The Angry Bull", he has been receiving invitations from Hollywood, including "The Matrix 2" which premiered in Cannes this year.
However, most of the characters are supporting roles, which does not conform to Dong Xi's positioning of himself.
Dong Xi is the so-called "three major Chinese kung fu stars", and he did not use traditional "Western films" to prove himself.
But if he only plays a supporting role, he doesn't need to come to Hollywood. He is neither short of money nor fame nor fortune.
He is a "chicken head" in China, and there is no need to travel far to Hollywood to be a "phoenix tail".
The first Asian in history to play a superhero seems to be a good gimmick, but after calming down, Dong Xi understood that this matter was too difficult.
Even though Bruce Lee starred in "The Green Hornet" back then, he only played the role of assistant.
As a superhero with both strength and popularity in the Marvel comics universe, the Hulk should focus on stability even if it is adapted into a movie.
Try to follow the plot route that fans are familiar with, and change Hulk's skin color as soon as they start, which is too risky.
Even if Li An has such courage, the producers behind him dare not take such a big risk.
So after careful consideration, Dong Xi still rejected the invitation.
He will definitely go to Hollywood to wander around. He originally planned to have invitations like directors, but now it seems that he can only settle for the second best.
If there are movies tailored for him, it is better to be a series of movies, and he doesn't mind playing a pure actor.
The opening ceremony was actually very simple. After the red carpet, the judges team appeared on stage. Jiang Wen ran to Spielberg happily and began to get close to him.
Dong Xi also made a silent preparation in the audience. He still needs to go on stage later to introduce the opening film "One Thirteen" to the audience.
"Hello everyone, I am Dong Xi..." Dong Xi had just stepped onto the stage and said a word, but was interrupted by the applause and cheers below.
"Fat~"
"Smack!"
Judging from the audience's feedback, his popularity is not inferior to that of big names like Cheng Long or Spielberg.
The popularity of passers-by is a very fantasy thing, at least Dong Xi has always been very popular overseas.
"The tragic past of "One Thirteen" tells the story of a real history of our country, a group of soldiers defending the frontier against foreign invasions, and defeating the more with fewer..."
"I'm not making movies, I'm just a porter of history!"
"War is always a pain, but the soldiers who defend their country must be heroes!"
This passage is also a strategy discussed by the company. Whether it is this year's Oscars or Cannes, they will focus on anti-war and anti-violence.
Especially compared to the hypocritical Oscars, it was originally intended to resist the threat of the *** and fight against the Venice International Film Festival, which was controlled by the *** regime at that time.
So for this year's US-Iran War, Cannes' selection criteria will definitely tend to be anti-war movies.
In this regard, "One Thirteen" suffered a little loss, allowing it to embellish itself, but its essence is still a war film.
After the opening ceremony, the opening video will be played. At this time, the guests can leave, but no one will choose to leave out of politeness.
Therefore, the premiere of "One Thirteen" can be said to be brilliant.
As the main creators, Dong Xi and others were naturally arranged in the front row, perhaps the organizer considered the problem.
Therefore, Chinese-speaking filmmakers such as Cheng Long and Gong Li were also arranged beside Dong Xi.
So, Dong Xi sat Fan Xiaopang on the left and Gong Huang on the right. If it were someone else, two beauties wouldn't have laughed out loud.
But Dong Xi is strong, Fan Xiaopang and Gong Huang are not petite, so the three of them are really crowded in a row.
The two women were unwilling to move to the side, so they leaned against Dong Xi. If nothing unexpected happened, Dong Xi was clamped into a sandwich again.
Well, why say "again"?
The noisy sounds at the scene gradually became quiet, and the cutscenes of Xizi Film and Television appeared on the wide screen.
It was still the dark little man with a golden crown, wearing a red boxing glove on his hand, and punching a sandbag continuously.
A "bang~" sandbag was shattered into countless pieces, and combined into a flying sky:
[Honorary Produced by Hua Guo Xizi Film and Television].
The picture suddenly turned, followed by the dark night sky again, without any sound, only raindrops slowly fell from the sky.
Drops of rain are extremely real and clearly visible under the special effects treatment.
Here, Dong Xi used a bullet time similar to "The Matrix". The raindrops fell to the extreme slowly, and the surroundings were even quiet enough to be soundless.
Following the sight of the raindrops, a group of soldiers and horses hidden in the dark gradually emerged.
"Bang~" As the raindrops hit the mud, ripples splashed.
Finally, all kinds of sounds began to sound, the sound of raindrops falling, the uneasy breathing in the horse's nose, like the sound of a ghost laughing...
The only thing that doesn't have is human voice.
A flash of lightning broke through the night sky, and the entire area was lit up instantly, and the audience could see the whole picture clearly.
This is an army of hundreds of people, wearing uniform armor, with firm eyes and no fear.
The leading general was Dong Xi. The armor could cover his face, but it could not cover up his recognizable body.
Dong Xi slowly pulled out his long sword, and the soldiers behind him also drew out their weapons at the same time.
"The Han family is not afraid of death, and a real man is making achievements!" With Dong Xi's order, he gave him the order.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Hundreds of horses stepped on the soil and launched an attack in front of them, with the momentum of thousands of troops.
The darkness ahead was also cut through, revealing the huge camp, and the endless formation was like a vast ocean.
Dong Xi was like a tiger storming into a flock of sheep, and his heads fell to the ground with his sword.
"Happy, so happy~" The rain mixed with blood, dyeing Dong Xi's military uniform red.
He whistled to the sky without any concern, and the black and red "Han" fluttered in the wind on a large flag behind him!
