Leave the settled hotel and drive to the banquet venue.
According to the publicity plan formulated by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the banquet is also a kind of publicity. Almost all the Hollywood stars and famous European stars who came to Venice have received invitations to the banquet.
As for those crews, actors, directors, etc. who have never even heard of it, they will naturally not be included in the invitation list.
"Helen said, you plan to act in an Italian film!"
Sitting in a stretched Lincoln, Ryan looked at Monica Bellucci, "Why don't you choose to stay in Hollywood!"
Since the release of "Independence Day", Monica Bellucci has starred in several films, Fan Xiang is not bad.
However, she spends most of the year in Europe, and recently plans to settle in her hometown of Italy for a long time.
"Ryan, you know, at my age, it's impossible to stay in Hollywood and develop."
Monica Bellucci had some reluctance to mention her age, "Age is the biggest enemy for any female star."
Like Julia Roberts, who can continue to be famous after the age of 30, and even join the $20 million salary club.
There's only one in Hollywood right now, and that's Julia Roberts herself.
The rest, unless they are female stars from the United States, most female stars from other countries will, like Monica Bellucci, choose to return to their hometown to develop after their career reaches a peak.
Even though he is a little older, he still has a very large influence in Italy, and even became an unavoidable topic in the Italian entertainment industry in the 1990s.
Even if you look at Hollywood, there are not many actors who have ever starred in a film with a global box office of more than 800 million US dollars.
"Besides, this script is very interesting." Monica Bellucci liked the plot in the script very much.
"Well, I respect your choice."
Ryan put his arms around Monica Bellucci and said without hesitation: "However, I hope Orion Pictures can invest in this film."
"The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" is a very classic film. Many fans across the Pacific have watched this film in their previous lives, and they are also familiar with Monica Bellucci in this film.
It's a pity that a good film may not be able to sell well at the box office. The box office of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" is not so ideal.
As for the awards!
It seems to have been nominated for an Oscar, two technical award nominations, best cinematography and best soundtrack, no best actress nominations.
Hollywood and the Oscars have always been like this, only those who know how to give can get rewarded. Obviously, the production company and the distribution company did not pay a large amount of public relations funds.
"I'll tell Giuseppe."
Monica Bellucci did not refuse, and said very easily: "Believe him, it is very difficult to refuse the investment from Orion Films."
It is difficult for a European director to refuse an investment from a Hollywood film company, and Orion Films has a global distribution channel, which is very beneficial to the release and distribution of future films.
Of course, Giuseppe Tornadore is not an ordinary Italian director or screenwriter. He once directed "The Pianist on the Sea", a very famous classic film.
Next, Ryan did not continue to talk about "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" until he entered the banquet hall.
The release time of the original "Beautiful Tale of Sicily" coincides with "Never Compromise" starring Julia Roberts. The two films were released in the same year.
Monica Bellucci couldn't have won the Best Actress Oscar without first saying yes to Julia Roberts.
It is impossible for the Oscar committee and the old academics to award the Best Actress Oscar to any female star except for Julia Roberts.
Unless "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" changes its release time, there is no chance of hitting the Oscar for best actress statuette.
Of course, the production team of the film has not yet prepared, so it is too early to talk about this topic.
Originally, the banquet held by the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was just a small gathering, not very large in scale.
However, with the arrival of the "Rush Hour 2" crew and Ryan, many Hollywood stars and European stars have joined, and the number of people coming has become more and more.
Seeing this, Orion Pictures simply changed to a large banquet hall in the name of the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
It can be said that the banquet tonight is the biggest one before the opening of the Venice Film Festival, and the big names that are rarely seen are obvious, as if they have become everywhere.
However, Ryan didn't stay long, hugged Monica Bellucci, walked around the banquet, greeted Jackie Chan, Ang Lee and others, and left the banquet directly.
Seeing Ryan and Monica Bellucci leave, many people at the banquet showed disappointment.
In the next few days, until the opening of the Venice Film Festival, Ryan and Monica Bellucci stayed in the hotel to enjoy the happy time.
During the period, the report on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has become the hottest film at the Venice Film Festival. Many small film studios approached and tried to buy the copyright of the film, but Ang Lee flatly rejected it.
What a joke, Orion Films itself has global distribution channels, so how could it sell the copyright of the film to the film company at a low price.
Even for cooperation, theater companies and distribution companies in overseas countries will be chosen instead of film studios.
It has to be said that many people have seen the commercial value of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
The main venue of the Venice Film Festival looks very tall, luxuriously decorated and magnificent.
But in fact, this hotel is only a local casino on weekdays.
Even, the earliest purpose of establishing the Venice Film Festival was only to solve the problem of off-season tourists for hotels.
It is not much different from the opening ceremony of most film festivals, it is nothing more than a press conference, red carpet and so on.
Ryan quickly walked across the red carpet, briefly answered a few questions from the reporter, then walked into the venue, sat next to Monica Bellucci, and waited quietly for the opening ceremony film to be shown.
"It seems that you like to invest in some niche films."
Monica Bellucci looked curiously at the crew members of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" who were interacting on the stage, "such as "Rush Hour", "American Pie", "Tomb Raider", and the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
If we talk about investing in "American Pie" and "Tomb Raider", the former is an alternative film, and the latter is an adventure action film adapted from a game with a female protagonist as the protagonist. It can be said that Orion Pictures is taking a very big risk. .
Then the two films "Rush Hour" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" hardly see the shadow of mainstream Hollywood commercial films, which is simply a gamble.
Of course, two consecutive "Rush Hour" hit the box office, which has proved that the investment of Orion Films is very successful.
"It's not just Hollywood commercial films that can be successful. Some Chinese films and European films also have the potential to sell well." Ryan tilted his head and said with a smile.
At least "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a Chinese film that can be successful.
In fact, not only Orion Films is the only one like this, but other Hollywood film companies have also invested in many Chinese-language films and European films.
However, most of them are lost.
No one would have thought that when they gave up investing in Chinese-language films, the box office market on the other side of the Pacific Ocean would transform into the second largest box office market in the world after North America in just over ten years.
Not long after, with the end of the interactive session on stage, the opening film of the Venice Film Festival was broadcast.
Many viewers couldn't help exclaiming in unison, and saw a very familiar logo, which belonged to the logo of Golden Harvest in the heyday of Xiangjiang movies, and then the logo of Orion Films.
When Hong Kong films were booming, several films were sold to the European market every year, and a group of audiences who devoted themselves to watching Hong Kong films were once cultivated.
It's a pity that with the desolation of Hong Kong movies I haven't seen the familiar logo for a long time.
In fact, the development of Hong Kong films has fallen into a kind of contradiction. Most film companies pay too much attention to immediate interests, and Golden Harvest, the only company that continues to invest in Hollywood films, has also chosen the wrong direction.
If it were Ryan, he would definitely choose to develop the European film market instead of investing in Hollywood.
Lao Mouzi and his party in the audience looked at the picture on the screen and couldn't help showing very complicated emotions.
The opening film of the Venice Film Festival, one of the three major film festivals in Europe!
Even if the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" returned empty-handed, it would be enough to enter the annals of Chinese film history.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Ryan and Monica Bellucci who were sitting in the front row. He was afraid that the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" would not leave empty-handed, at least they would get a big prize.
In contrast, Li An, Zhang Ziyi, Yang Ziyu and others all showed nervous expressions, both worried and excited.
