The Best Entertainment Era

A small yacht slowly crossed the river in Venice and headed towards Lido Island. Along the way, many enthusiastic movie fans waved to the main crew of the crew on board.

Anne Hathaway pursed her mouth into a line, stood beside Ronan, and kept waving in response.

Ang Lee, Jack Gyllenshire, Heath Ledger, Michelle Williams and others also stood on the deck, frequently responding to both sides of the bank.

It's the first time for me to attend the premiere by boat. Anne Hathaway whispered to Ronan.

Ronan's voice was also very low, and he replied, It's my first time too.

Anne Hathaway asked: Will this film win a Golden Lion?

How do I know? Ronan shrugged slightly: Everything depends on the situation after the release.

The speed of the yacht was not fast, but it gradually approached Lido Island.

This small island is the traditional venue for the Venice Film Festival.

Anne Hathaway's hair was a little messed up by the wind, and Ronan offered to tidy it up for her.

Seeing Ronan's careful appearance, Anne-Hathaway sighed softly, Ronan is always the best when getting along.

But Anne Hathaway knows, don't expect him to think of you when he's not around.

By the way, Ronan. Anne Hathaway quickly gave up these small thoughts, after all, the two had a very clear positioning from the beginning: I heard that Ron Howard's daughter Bryce Howard will also participate Auditions for the lead actress in Alice in Wonderland?

Although from appearance to acting skills to charisma, she thinks she can completely crush Bryce Howard, but when she learned that Bryce Howard was among the competitors, she did not have any confidence in winning.

In this circle, interpersonal relationships are sometimes more important than abilities.

Otherwise, can Spielberg's godsons and goddaughters get out of the way relatively easily?

Ronan understood Anne-Hathaway's thoughts, gently squeezed her hand, and said, Prepare for the audition with peace of mind. This is my project. After all, the audition results will determine the actor candidates.

Anne Hathaway instantly settled down: I read the end of the script,

Alice has some action scenes and fighting scenes with swords. I plan to do some action training in advance.

That's fine. Ronan suddenly thought of Catwoman: Diversified development will lead to a wider and wider road in the future.

Anne-Hathaway nodded slightly: Well, I listen to you.

Ronan was still very satisfied with Anne Hathaway, and said: Relativity Entertainment will have many film projects in the future. Anne, don't fall behind halfway.

Anne-Hathaway promised: I will follow you closely. She leaned close to Ronan's ear and whispered: I have prepared something special, waiting for you in the room tonight.

Ronan smiled: It really is my favorite Princess Anne.

The boat came to the pier, and the red carpet was laid all the way from the theater. Jack Gyllenhaal was the first to disembark, and stood beside the boat in a very gentlemanly manner, assisting the others to get off.

Ronan let Ang Lee go first: You are the director, this is your movie premiere.

Ang Lee nodded with a smile, and took the lead on the red carpet.

Although he suffered the failure of The Hulk, Ang Lee still has a considerable reputation in Europe. Coupled with the relationship between the film genre, both the audience and the media reporters are quite enthusiastic.

At European film festivals, the most popular genres are always those that deal with taboo subjects.

Jake Gyllenhaal walked the red carpet alone, followed by the couple Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams.

Subsequently, Ronan and Anne - Hathaway have also walked through the red carpet.

Ronan saw the members of the Venice film jury in front of the theater.

The chairman of the jury this year is from Italy, but Dante Ferretti, an Italian filmmaker working hard in the United States, is a famous art director in Hollywood.

His works include Interview with the Vampire, Casino, Gangs of New York and so on.

The most recent work is The Aviator, which Martin Scorsese failed at the Oscars this year.

This person has a close relationship with Martin Scorsese and has worked with him many times.

Therefore, when Ronan shook hands with Dante Ferredi, he specifically said: I have heard Director Scorsese mention you many times, saying that it is his greatest regret that you were not able to participate in the project of The Departed.

Dante Ferreddy knew that Martin Scorsese was working with Ronan, and said: I accepted the invitation of the Venice Film Festival first, and I really couldn't get away. Mr. Anderson, I am very sorry to miss this cooperation .”

Ronan said with a smile: We will have opportunities to cooperate in the future.

Dante Ferreddy said: There will be.

Although he started his film career in Italy, Dante Ferredi has been assimilated by Hollywood for nearly 20 years since he entered Hollywood. He knows better that Sandsea Entertainment, a subsidiary of Relativity Entertainment, is now the top production company in Hollywood. one of them.

Ronan did not talk to Dante Ferredido again, and the reality did not allow him to say more.

Then, he shook hands with other judges one by one.

That is to say, in this kind of public place, the judges can be properly contacted. According to the regulations of the film festival, the judges are not allowed to accept the invitation of the film crew participating in the competition unit in private.

These judges are all unfamiliar faces, and the only one who has a little impression is Claire Dennis, one of Leonardo's rumored girlfriends in the past.

Of course, this is also a long-legged, blonde actress who looks like a model.

At this moment, Ronan joined Li An, entered the VIP room together, and waited for the entrance ceremony.

Is it almost the same in terms of publicity? Ronan asked.

Ang Lee said: Embassy Pictures European Branch cooperated with the crew to do a lot of preparatory work, and it depends on luck to win the award.

Ronan said directly: Our first goal is the Golden Lion Award. I saw the internal preview of this film and it was really good. As for the chairman of the jury, before the festival started, Martin Scorsese had a good relationship with I've got a deal, I've had a call with Dante Ferreddy, and with the quality of Brokeback Mountain, he won't have any trouble.

Li An just nodded with a smile.

The selection of any award is relatively fair and will be affected by many off-site factors. For example, the selection results of the three major European film festivals, the chairman of the jury has a great say.

Similar to the Cannes Film Festival, if the chairman of the jury wants to push a film of decent quality to win, it can basically be achieved.

But most people love feathers, and not everyone is as nonchalant as Quentin the Ruffian.

Ronan warned: No matter what the final result of the Venice Film Festival is, the North American awards season at the end of the year is our main battlefield. All our work is to prepare for the end of the year.

Li An understood the meaning of these words: I will fully cooperate with what I need to do.

How much aggrieved Ang Lee suffered from the failure of Hulk, Ang Lee wanted to explode in the awards season at the end of the year.

Only he himself knows how much painstaking effort the film Brokeback Mountain has taken, and it is also his last battle in Hollywood!

Ronan could see Ang Lee's thoughts, and said, Relax, this film is very good. In my opinion, Brokeback Mountain will be famous in film history.

Ang Lee has confidence in his film, and knows that Ronan has been very optimistic about Brokeback Mountain after watching the trial screening, but he did not expect Ronan's evaluation to be so high.

When other people say such things, Ang Lee will only take them as a compliment, but Ronan, a gold medal producer, said so, does the film really bring something different?

Ronan didn't say any more, Brokeback Mountain is really good, even people who hate homosexuality, it is difficult to be disgusted with the film itself after watching the film.

Ang Lee's films are really beautiful and subtle.

In North America and even in the world, there is a group that desperately needs such a film, and needs Brokeback Mountain to speak for them.

The voices of this group are getting louder and louder, and it won't be long before they become an untouchable group.

As long as they do a little push properly, they will definitely put Brokeback Mountain on the altar.

Because of the movement of this group, a widely circulated movie is needed to speak for them and speak for them.

The affirmative action movement in the United States is intensifying. Hollywood, a leftist concentration camp, is bringing Hollywood to another extreme. Brokeback Mountain can be said to be at the right time and meet the needs of the general environment.

The success of Brokeback Mountain was definitely not the success of the film itself. There are too many complicated factors behind it.

Similarly, this film will be criticized by many, especially conservatives.

Ronan had already reminded Li An, and Li An was also mentally prepared.

Ang Lee went to discuss with his agent, and the couple Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams found Ronan.

Hi, Ronan. Michelle Williams has worked with Sandsea Entertainment for many years and is very familiar with Ronan: I didn't expect you to come here in person.

Ronan said directly: This Brokeback Mountain is the Oscar seed candidate prepared by Relativity Entertainment this year.

Michelle Williams deliberately said: So, I also have hope for an Oscar nomination?

Ronan nodded slightly: The plan is Best Supporting Actress, whether you can get nominated or not depends on luck. He turned to Heath Ledger and said: You should prepare more, and the crew will also apply for the best actress. Good leading actor.

Heath Ledger said: Thank you, thank you Mr. Anderson for your support.

Ronan resisted the urge to mention certain things again. After all, he had already said it twice, so there was no need to continue pestering him. He just said slowly, Your character is very brilliant.

Heath Ledger is very confident: I believe this will be a turning point in my career.

Michelle Williams pulled him quietly, and interjected: Ronan, Heath will work with you next. He passed the audition for The Dark Knight directed by Nolan.

Ronan said: I know that Director Nolan has a very high opinion of Heath.

A staff member came to inform at this time, Ronan didn't say anything more, and entered the screening room with the main creators of the crew.
