Lu Hao did not pay much attention to the box office of "Soulmate" and "Roadside Picnic", and focused all his energy on the filming of "Chinese Partners".
Deadline is the primary productive force.
It’s less than a month away from the school anniversary, and we are really urgent to meet the deadline.
The crew also started working non-stop, reshooting various shots and racing against time.
We will try to complete the filming two weeks before the school anniversary.
…
"Mr. Lu, I have two pieces of news."
"One is good news, and the other is still good news."
While busy on the set, I suddenly received a call from the head of the company's overseas copyright department, who said something funny on the phone.
The tone sounded extremely excited.
"explain."
Lu Hao said calmly.
Hearing that Mr. Lu's tone seemed unhappy, the other side quickly calmed down.
"DreamWorks has received two invitations from the Venice Film Festival Organizing Committee. The two films we submitted, Sun Dasheng and Roadside Picnic, have both been shortlisted for the main competition. I wonder if you have time to go to the awards ceremony?"
Venice Film Festival?
Hearing this news, Lu Hao was silent for a moment.
This is the world's first international film festival and one of the three major film festivals in Europe. It is of very high quality.
"Sun Dasheng" came into the sight of the organizing committee because of its good box office performance around the world.
As for "Roadside Picnic", it is purely because of its unique tone and high quality that it hit the prostate of Europeans.
Italy, France, these countries are not big in size, but their level of sophistication is sky-high, and their taste in movies is always the same.
There are all kinds of mysterious movies. I am not afraid that they are brain-burning, but I am afraid that they are not brain-burning enough.
"I won't go."
"Let Tang Tangtang and Cao Gan go."
Tang Tangtang is the heroine of "Sun Dasheng" and the actor of Zixia, so it is only natural for her to go there.
As for Cao Gan, he had nothing to do anyway, so he just treated it as a trip abroad.
"Okay, Mr. Lu."
After hearing Lu Hao's arrangement, the person on the other end nodded and quickly hung up the phone.
…
…
"Venice Film Festival?"
On the set, when they heard Lu Hao's voice on the phone, the people next to him, Bai He, Zhang Xiao, and Gulina, all widened their eyes.
Mr. Lu...what kind of god are you?
Although many Chinese films have won awards at the Venice Film Festival, its status in the world of domestic filmmakers is still quite high.
You know, every year when the Venice Film Festival opens, a large number of domestic stars, famous or not, regardless of whether their films and roles are nominated, will shamelessly buy plane tickets and go, just to walk the red carpet and get some attention.
It's not just Venice. For many people, even the Golden Horse and the Golden Statue are out of reach.
And now…
DreamWorks has two films nominated!
The organizing committee invited Lu Hao, but he still didn’t go!
"Director Lu, are you really not going? Venice is actually a very nice city. I've only been there once, but I still can't forget it."
Bai He couldn't help but sigh.
Hong Kong films are one of the important genres of commercial films, so they have always been isolated from Venice.
Even many veterans who have shot dozens or even hundreds of films have only been there a few times.
Lu Hao waved his hand and smiled.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's continue filming."
"Next!"
"Staff! Staff!"
…
Things were arranged quickly.
the next day.
Tang Tangtang and Cao Gan, along with a few staff members, boarded a plane to Venice.
Before leaving, Tang Tangtang took the initiative to ask Lu Hao for his opinion again.
Lu Hao still refused.
In desperation, she gave up the idea and joked that she would bring a gift for Mr. Lu and asked him what he wanted.
Lu Hao thought about it and said with a smile: "If possible, bring back a European supermodel."
Tang Tangtang: ...
…
Venice.
After getting off the plane and arriving at the set, Tang Tangtang and Cao Gan were shocked to find that there were quite a few Chinese people present, especially women.
Many of them have the same Korean semi-permanent hyaluronic acid internet celebrity face, posing in various ways on the red carpet and actively facing the camera.
As a female star who debuted very early, Tang Tangtang is still very well-known. When she arrived at the scene, she immediately overshadowed the crowd.
Many reporters gathered around.
"Hello Tangtang, I'm a reporter from Daily Entertainment..."
"Here, here, Penguin Entertainment..."
"Here, Weibo Entertainment..."
All major domestic entertainment and online media have already sent people to stake out this area.
"Excuse me, who is this gentleman?"
A reporter looked at Cao Gan next to him and couldn't help but ask.
In front of the public, Cao Gan still has a very unfamiliar face. He doesn't look outstanding at all and doesn't look like someone in the entertainment industry at all.
With such looks and temperament, and standing next to Tang Tangtang, it's hard not to think of something wrong.
He... must be very rich, right?
"Cao Gan, the director of 'Roadside Picnic', is also a newly signed emerging director at DreamWorks."
Tang Tangtang answered frankly.
Hearing this, the reporters suddenly came to their senses and started taking photos frantically.
They knew that the movie "Roadside Picnic" was shortlisted for the main competition unit.
It's just a movie, not well-known in the country, but I didn't expect the director to be like this.
