In August, the Chinese entertainment industry seemed to have suddenly erupted after a long sleep. The conflict between artists and agents broke up a hot topic in the entertainment industry. First, Huang Shengyi and Xinghuigong broke up peacefully and joined Rong Xinda, which caused heated discussions; then, Zhou Xun and Rong Xinda ended their cooperative relationship, which caused a lot of controversy again.

The breakup between Zhou Xun and Rong Xinda not only caused heated discussions in the media, but also triggered a fight between Zhou Xun fans and Zhang Jingchu fans on the Internet. Some netizens broke the news in Tianya that Zhou Xun ran away because she failed to compete with Zhang Jingchu for Rong Xinda's number one sister and ran away in anger. Some people also broke the news that Zhang Jingchu suppressed Zhou Xun because she was Zhang Ran's girlfriend. So, the two fans started to tear up, put a picture, and gave a nickname, and used all kinds of methods.

Finally, Zhou Xun and Zhang Jingchu had to come out to refute the rumors. There was nothing at all. The two had a good relationship. Zhang Jingchu also posted a photo with Zhou Xun on his blog. The two were intimate and smiling like flowers in the photo.

Zhou Xun's contract termination storm has not stopped yet, and another shocking news has ignited the entire entertainment industry. Wang Jinhua, known as the number one agent in the mainland, is leaving Huayi and will join Orange Entertainment, a subsidiary of Japan's nec. The chain reaction of her resignation will be that many artists under Huayi will follow her to their new owners, including Chen Daoming, Hu Jun, Liu Jialing, and Liang Jiahui. Dozens of artists who change jobs.

According to an industry insider who has a close relationship with Huayi Brothers, the fuse for Wang Jinhua's departure was that the filming of "Night Banquet" did not use any artists under her company. Because the movie "Night Banquet" was going to take an international route, there were endless debates within the company when choosing an actor. They already had big names like Li Binbin and Fan Binbin, but in the end, the Wang brothers chose Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun.

This is not easy for Huayi Brothers to have a major earthquake, and it is also the largest collective job-hopping event in the history of the mainland entertainment industry. The media are exclaiming that they have been "Huayi has been hollowed out". Wang Zhongjun, who has always been known for his calmness, rarely speaks harshly: "If I leave, it's almost the same. Huayi can do whatever it takes!"

Many people think that Orange Sky, which holds a lot of money, will rise rapidly, and the pattern of the mainland entertainment industry is likely to be rewritten. But Zhang Ran knows that although Huayi's artists have been almost hollowed out, the most important resource of Huayi, Feng Xiaogang, is still there, and Huayi's star-making mechanism is still there, and they can quickly cultivate new stars. In fact, Wang Jinhua's departure is a bad thing in the short term, but it is a good thing in the long term. Huayi has since broken the family management model in the field of artist agency and established a modern management system.

However, Zhang Ran was not in the mood to care about Huayi and Chengtian's affairs. The Venice Film Festival was about to open, so he had to prepare for his trip to Venice.

On August 29, Zhang Ran took the crew's main creators to Venice, with the five starring actors including Jia Niaoliang, Cao Bingkun, Wang Junyi, Zhang Zichen and Bai Ling. Zhang Ran originally wanted to let all the students in the class go, but eventually gave up. Now the students are busy filming, and they are not the starring actors, so it doesn't make any sense to ask them to go to Venice.

On the plane, Zhang Ran met Sun Honglei and Jiang Yan. They were the starring actors of "Seven Swords", which was the opening film of the film festival. As the starring actors, they must arrive in Venice as soon as possible to meet the crew.

In the last life, Jiang Yan was suppressed by Zhang Jingchu in the movie because of her similar style to Zhang Jingchu. She and Zhang Jingchu competed for roles many times, from "Peacock" to "The Bride of Flower Waist", "The Fragrance Journey", and "Red River", and lost to Zhang Jingchu every time. In this life, all these dramas fell on her. Now she is a popular little flower, with her popularity above Huang Shengyi. Some media even predicted that she will become another Chinese actress who will go international after Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Jingchu.

The flight was down at Marco Polo Airport, and Zhang Ran and the others walked down the VIP passage. Before they could walk a few steps, Mark Muller walked up and gave Zhang Ran a bear hug.

Mark Muller patted Zhang Ran’s back: “My dear friend, welcome to the Venice Film Festival!”

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Chairman Ma, you seem to be fat?"

Mark Muller shrugged: "You have a broad heart and fat body. This year is a hundred years of Chinese movies. I am so happy. When I am happy, I eat it hard, and I will gain weight!"

Zhang Ran laughed loudly, he could pull this guy, he introduced the students in his class to Mark Muller: "Lao Ma, this is the starring actors of the movie Jia Niaoliang, Cao Bingkun, Wang Junyi, Zhang Zichen, this is the heroine Bai Ling. Children, this is Mark Muller, the chairman of the Venice Film Festival, whom everyone admires, you can call him Lao Ma or Chairman Ma!"

Jia Niaoliang shouted flatteringly: "Hello Chairman Ma!" The other students also applauded.

Jiang Yan and Sun Honglei pushed their luggage outside and saw Zhang Ran joking with the film festival chairman with the students in his class. He was very envious. The film festival chairman personally went to the airport to greet him. The specifications were too high!

Zhang Ran and Mark Muller exchanged a few greetings and walked outside together. As soon as they walked out of the airport gate, they were surrounded by hundreds of Chinese and foreign journalists.

The flash was flickering wildly, and even behind the sunglasses, Jia Niaoliang felt his eyes hurt. This was the first time Jia Niaoliang and his friends faced such a hot and lively scene. The heart-wrenching shouts were really impressive.

Jia Niaoliang and the others had never faced such a scene. They were both nervous and excited and seemed not very adaptable. Zhang Ran was no longer surprised, and waved to everyone with a smile, then walked towards the dock.

Arriving on Lido Island by boat, after settling down at the hotel, Zhang Ran took a few students to Venice for a walk. This was not the first time he had arrived in Venice, and he became a tour guide as a person who had experienced it.

On the evening of August 31, the 62nd Venice International Film Festival kicked off at the Film Palace. In order to celebrate the century of Chinese films, the organizing committee set off fireworks and performed a dragon dance performance. As one of the three oldest film festivals in the world, the Venice Film Festival made its opening ceremony a Chinese night for the first time.

Among the 19 films in this film festival competition unit, 4 are American movies, with starring Gwyneth Paltrow, Anthony Hopkins, Kate Winslet, etc. Among the 18 films in the screening unit, 7 American movies, including Russell Crow, Renee Zellweger, etc. I don’t know whether it is for the Chinese National Congress or not to give Venetian face, Hollywood brands have never appeared at the opening ceremony.

Due to the collective absence of Hollywood stars, the entire red carpet seemed to be bleak. Chinese filmmakers became the most beautiful scenery on the red carpet, and the entire opening ceremony also became a grand ceremony in the Chinese film industry.

The crew of "Seven Swords" who appeared first murdered a lot of films of photographers. In the net of flashes, the film starring Zhen Zidan, Jin So-yeon, Sun Honglei, Yang Caini, Jiang Yan and others appeared one after another. Sun Honglei, who is good at funny, was the first to accept an interview with an Italian reporter. In his suit, he actually practiced kendo at the request of the host, and gestured the martial arts movements in several films, attracting many attentions to follow.

Few European and American movie fans can call out the names of Jiang Yan, Jin So-yeon and Yeung, but the dignified and elegant beauty unique to the three oriental actresses still praise them.

John Woo's appearance was a bit unexpected, and no one expected that he would appear to find here. The photographers took photos wildly, and the fans screamed. Ang Lee's voice was not as good as John Woo. Although Ang Lee had more awards, the films were all art films, and there were relatively fewer fans who knew him. However, after "Broken Arm Mountain" won the Oscar, John Woo was no longer his opponent.

The warmest scene of the entire red carpet ceremony was after Zhang Ran led the crew of "Three Fools" and deafening cheers and screams rang out throughout the scene.

Zhang Ran is still wearing a black suit today, with a warm smile on his face, which looks very warm. Bai Ling, who is standing beside him, is wearing a Chinese-style dress customized by Guo Pei, a royal blue cheongsam-style floor-dragging evening skirt, and an off-shoulder skirt collar evolved from ancient ladies' streamers. The beautiful princess-style waist seal is sewn with exquisite patterns. After walking gracefully, he immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Jia Niaoliang and the four boys were also wearing straight custom suits, all of whom were like Zhang Ran, and waved to the audience around him with a smile. Jia Niaoliang was crazy and felt very excited. In fact, the smiles of the three boys were a little stiff, and their movements were a little stiff, which looked very awkward.

The crew of "Three Fools" is full of glory, especially Zhang Ran and Bai Ling murdered a lot of films. However, they did not stay on the red carpet for much and walked faster. In fact, Jia Niaoliang wanted to stay more. This is the red carpet in Venice, so cool! But Zhang Ran had already left, so it was hard for him to stop, so he followed closely.

Walking through the red carpet and reaching the entrance of the movie palace, Zhang Zichen said shyly: "Teacher Zhang, I want to go to the bathroom!"

Zhang Ran rolled his eyes and said, "No prospect!"

Bai Ling blushed and said, "I want to go there too!"

Zhang Ran was speechless: "Okay, come with me!"

At 7 pm, the opening ceremony of the film festival officially began. The host Spanish actress Ines Sastre's voice "Chinese movies, happy 100th birthday!" won warm applause from thousands of people throughout the movie palace.

The Chinese film crew present were very excited and all silently wished: "Happy birthday to Chinese movies!"

The opening ceremony of the film festival is as simple as ever, introducing the jury, introducing the contested video, and then playing the opening video.

This year's opening film "Seven Swords" is adapted from Liang Yusheng's "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountains". The story is a good story, but Xu Ke missed it. Except for the beginning of the movie, you can see Xu Ke in the past, the whole movie is almost out of control, and the editing is very messy, like a rush to get out of work. What's more, as an action movie, the fighting scenes are not exciting, and it makes people drowsy.

When Zhang Ran was watching "Seven Swords" in his last life, he was still studying on opera. At that time, he couldn't figure out how Xu Ke, who was once extremely sharp, could have been so clumsy. Now Zhang Ran knows where Xu Ke's problem lies. He loses his feelings like himself. After "Shushan", Xu Ke fell into a low period, such as "Black Hero 2" and "Seven Swords". He has to wait 5 years later to "Die Renjie: The Empire of the Heaven" to go.

After "The Empire of Tongtian", Xu Ke began to slowly rejuvenate, but the nine-year low period still wiped out too many things, and it was difficult for him to see the past's wild and unrestrained talents.

Zhang Ran was sad for Xu Ke, and at the same time, he was glad that he saw Bergman. He lit a lamp for himself, and there was a direction for him.

The day after the opening, the headlines of major domestic newspapers and websites were covered by the same news.

"Zhang Ran, Ang Lee, Xu Ke, John Woo's debut, the four Chinese film giants unveiled Venice"

"The Venice Film Festival's Chinese Film Opening, Chinese Films' Unique Film Festival"

The pictures provided by the newspaper are all photos of Zhang Ran with a smile on his face and waving to the audience.

Although Zhang Ran had won the Golden Lion Award last year and there was almost no possibility of winning the Golden Lion Award this year, there were still opportunities for other awards. As the only Chinese film in the main competition unit, in Chinese films, countless people put their hopes of winning the award on "Three Fools". (To be continued.)
