The news that Evan Bell arrived in Venice was spread to all the journalists within almost thirty minutes. He was the most popular brand in Water City this year after George Clooney and Brad Pitt at the opening ceremony. Moreover, compared with George Clooney and Brad Pitt who have turned to literary and artistic films in recent years, Evan Bell's performance in commercial films has made him even more popular.
After Evan Bell met with Anne Hathaway, Teddy Bell and others on the beach, the reporter knew it immediately. After all, these people were the focus of the reporter's attention. Of course, the reporters did not miss Natalie Portman, who was with Evan Bell, which immediately made the slightly sluggish Water City completely lively.
In fact, the biggest purpose of Evan Bell to come to Venice this time was not to promote "Juno". "Juno"'s main battlefield was in Toronto. However, because Anne Hathaway's "Rachel's Wedding" and Jennifer Lawrence's "Burning Plains" both chose Venice as the first landing point, so Evan Bell, who was carrying out special tasks, accepted Mark Muller's invitation and came to "Juno" to participate in the publicity.
This time Evan Bell came to Venice to take on the task of acquiring works. "Rachel's wedding" is a key investigation. As we all know, the film festival is a huge work trading market. At that time, the "mysterious skin" was appreciated by the Weinstein brothers in Venice, and thus made a fortune in North America. Now, Studio 11 is so powerful that it can start to join the ranks of acquiring works.
After two years of development and investigation, the 11th release has now reached a certain level. After the plan of Thomas Lansing and others, starting from this time in Venice and Toronto, the 11th release has also begun to plan works not produced by the 11th release. They will seek works with development potential in major film festivals, purchase the distribution rights and then publish them in the North American market.
In fact, this method is not unfamiliar to most film companies. Many independent companies do not have the cost of making movies. They all started with distribution, such as Tingfeng Entertainment and Lionsgate Pictures. The development of Eleventh Studios continued the DreamWorks-style route and started with production. But what makes Eleventh Studios smarter than DreamWorks is that before it truly rose, it took the lead in opening up its own distribution channels, thus gaining the lead.
Now, Studio 11 has gained a foothold in the field of film production. The number of films produced in the future will be stable, ensuring the quality of the works, and will not easily increase the pressure on the production of the 11th. But at the same time, Studio 11 has enough strength to start the North American distribution of more works.
"Rachel's Wedding" was raised by Jonathan Demi himself, and there is still no publisher at present. Since the "Philadelphia Story" in 1993, Jonathan Demi has screwed up six movies, not only in the commercial field and has been weak in literature and art. Therefore, the distribution work of "Rachel's Wedding" has also returned to the starting point - seeking publishers by participating in the film festival.
So after arriving in Venice, Evan Bell began to travel back and forth in the premiere venues of various movies the next day, and Teddy Bell was also accompanied by her.
After watching the "Bomb Disposal Force", Evan Bell finally understood why critics always like to say that Catherine Bigelow is a strong director. The strength mentioned here is not about Catherine Bigelow's personality, but about it.
As we all know, among the award arrangements for major awards ceremonies, the best film is to commend the entire work, best director, best actor and actress, best supporting actor and actress, and other awards are naturally to commend the personnel of each part. This also enables the award-winning films to be divided into various types, such as sweeping type, "Silence Lambs" won the best film, best director, best actor, best actress and best adapted script; for example, outstandingness, "Boy Don't Cry" who only won the Best Actress Award, and only won the Best Director "Drug Network". In short, it means whether a work highlights a certain link or fully presents the trend of a masterpiece.
The reason why Katherine Bigelow is a strong director is that in her movies, her style is too distinctive, and all the attention and praise for the film will be concentrated on the director alone. As for the actors and soundtracks of the movie, they have completely become supporting roles. It is not that this is not good, but that it is just that the highlights are different. Catherine Bigelow's outstanding performance in the director position has covered up other aspects of the movie.
Evan Bell remembers that before she was reborn, Catherine v Bigelow came again with her new work "Hunting bin Laden", but Evan Bell was reborn before the movie was released. However, when she saw some critics who watched the movie's preview, it was generally believed that Catherine Bigelow was fully capable of winning the Oscar for the second time, because of her directorial skills and director style, it was too exciting. Relatively speaking, the performance of the starring actors was excellent, but they were inevitably second.
If you stand in the position of a director, a director like Catherine Bigelow is admirable and can exert its ability to the extreme; but if you stand in the position of an actor, the actor is unfortunate, because they have become chess pieces in the hands of the director, and their light cannot even be as good as the director hidden behind the scenes. For example, the male protagonist Jeremy Renner in the "Bomb Disposal Force" has performed very well and is definitely capable of winning a place in the battle for the best actors in the awards season, but compared to Catherine Bigelow, Jeremy Renner's light suddenly shrank by several apertures.
When I watched the "Bomb Disposal Force" in my last life, Evan Bell was not deeply touched. Perhaps it was because of the very distinctive American theme in the movie, which made it difficult to touch Evan Bell, but he clearly remembered that the "Bomb Disposal Force" competed fiercely with "Avatar" at the 82nd Oscars. In the end, Catherine Bigelow defeated his ex-husband James Cameron, which also made her the first female director in Oscar history to win the best director Little Golden Man.
The 82nd Oscar was held in February 2000, but now the "Bomb Demolition Force" was released in Venice in September 2019. According to normal procedures, the "Bomb Demolition Force" should participate in the 81st Oscar at the beginning of next year. Evan Bell vaguely remembered that there seemed to be some problems in the distribution process, which led to the "Bomb Demolition Force" not being released until the year, and missed the registration time for the 81st Scars.
This is similar to the "car crash" in the previous life.
However, no matter what the final development route of the previous life, after Evan Bell re-watched the "Bomb Disposal Force" in Venice this time, he saw more things. The plot is flesh and blood, tension and relaxation, and it is true and credible. Catherine Bigelow used a semi-documentary filming, giving the audience a sense of immersion. The feeling of reality that hits the face is very realistic. Of course, if you have some understanding of American politics, the touch will be greater.
But then again, in terms of Evan Bell's personal aesthetic, the "Bomb Disposal Force" is indeed too main theme. It is a work taken in conjunction with the White House's ideas, portraying the soldiers into flesh-and-blood saviors. They are completely great figures who voluntarily join the battlefield. This is obviously too "positive" choice, and the character creation is not in place enough, and the core content of the film is also a bit deliberate. If "Fathan 911" and "Bomb Disposal Force" are put together and then choosing the Oscar's best film, Evan Bell will choose "Fathan 911". The talent of Michael Moore is really amazing.
Despite this, Evan Bell still admired Catherine Bigelow for applause. Although the audience at the Venice Film Festival seemed not very interested in this work, not only were the seats not full, but the applause was not warm. But Evan Bell decided to find Catherine Bigelow in person to talk. If possible, Studio Eleven could take on the distribution of the "bomb disposal force" in North America.
When Evan Bell found Catherine Bigelow after the end of the movie, she did not think about the distribution rights, but just asked Evan Bell to support her work, "Haha, you are willing to come to the premiere of my movie. This is the best thing. I believe that there will be no missing reports about the 'bomb disposal force tomorrow."
"That's not necessarily. As an ordinary audience, I watched a movie, and newspapers and magazines do not have this leisure and leisure to analyze it in detail." If it were normal, Evan Bell walked into the cinema to watch a movie, then the works they watched would definitely be ridiculed and analyzed by reporters, but this is a film festival, so it is naturally impossible, because the works are as numerous as awesome. "But I do like your works very much. If a reporter is willing to listen to my opinions, I am very happy to recommend this work to them."
Catherine Bigelow just thought Evan Bell's words were polite words, and almost everyone would say such scenes, so she just smiled and said, "Of course it's the best." Then she said with a respectful reciprocity, "Juno, the release date is about the fifth. I want to go to the scene to watch the premiere, but it's probably hard to get a ticket."
At this year's Venice Film Festival, most movie tickets will be left, and the scenes sold out are very rare. The only exception is "Juno". In fact, before Evan Bell came, there were still "Juno" tickets left, almost one-third left, but as soon as the news of Evan Bell arrived in Venice spread, the remaining tickets were announced to be sold overnight.
Regarding Catherine Bigelow's politeness, Evan Bell smiled, "If you are willing to come, don't worry, there will definitely be a place." Then the topic changed, "Actually, I'm here to ask you, "Is the North American issuance right of the bomb disposal force still in your hands. Is the bomb disposal force still in your hands?
The outbreak continues, please double the monthly ticket!
