The 9th Shanghai International Film Festival is indeed a rare star-studded film festival in mainland China. △￠

On the red carpet, Chinese fans from all over the country burst into screams and cheers from time to time, and the host introduced the guests in both Chinese and English.

The crew of "Tiangu", which competed for the Golden Goblet Award, caused a lot of commotion - the hero of this film, Chu Qing, can be said to be one of the most well-known faces in the world of Chinese film circles, especially in North America. outside, especially in Eurasia. The crew that he leads has certainly aroused the welcome of proud fans, and Zhu Yuanyuan and Liu Zifeng next to him are relatively less interested.

Daniel **** played in the middle and late stages. Fernando and Rachel, who had just arrived in Shanghai today, did not go with him, they were a little earlier than him. Among them are the "Tokyo Trial" crew and director Li An - at the opening ceremony today, Li An will be the first to receive the Overseas Outstanding Contribution Award for Chinese Films. When Daniel arrived on the red carpet, before Li An was on the red carpet, the "Tokyo Trial" crew had already set off.

"congratulations."

"I didn't expect to see you in China. I'm very happy." Li An did look very happy, "Hollywood should pay more attention to here."

"There will come a day, as long as China shows its potential." Daniel shrugged, "And that's just a matter of time, isn't it?"

"Maybe."

The place where the two of them stood and talked attracted countless eyes. Even the reporters near the red carpet started to catch them from the gap. The other Chinese stars in the waiting room are full of yearning in their eyes - any motivated actor can't turn a blind eye to Daniel's achievements, wealth, awards, remuneration, popularity, popularity, etc., all of these What an actor wants to get, Daniel is the best. ahead of all peers. Even now, the prices of Chinese actors are starting to come under fire, just as in Hollywood, investors are starting to complain that actors take most of the budget and very little to make the movie — a point that is unknown to the unknown Director and company-led works. Especially prominent. For example, director Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou, of course, they can naturally lower the actors' remuneration, because they provide the actors with the opportunity to increase their self-improvement. But for some lesser-known works, if you want to have big-name actors to join, you can only rely on a lot of money.

Whether the market determines the price, or whether the actor's price is inflated, is a long-standing and will continue to debate.

But when the actors saw Daniel, they didn't feel that their price was too high. Compared with Daniel's basic salary of RMB 100 to 200 million. They don't even get a fraction. Of course, they also forgot one point. The works starring Daniel are not worth 500 million to 600 million dollars in the world. The "Lord of the Rings Trilogy", "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "The Bourne Bourne 2" are as high as 8 to 1 billion dollars. ——At the current exchange rate of about 8 to 1, that is, a box office of more than 6 billion yuan for a single film. This is an achievement that no Chinese actor can achieve. First of all, the mainland Chinese market is not enough to produce such a large box office work, and the international market is basically equal to zero for most Chinese-language films.

This may be the real market-determining price.

After chatting for a while, Daniel simply walked on the red carpet with Li An. The staff seemed to want to come up and say something, but their feet were heavy. After Daniel walked on the red carpet, he was embarrassed behind the two of them. According to the schedule and hosting the draft, Li An and Daniel are separated, and now they walk on the red carpet together, will there be trouble? He has nothing at all.

However, fortunately, the host is quite clever.

"We see. Now on the red carpet are... Hollywood superstar, Oscar winner Mr. Daniel Sandler, as well as Oscar best director winner and winner of this year's Shanghai International Film Festival Outstanding Contribution to Overseas Chinese Language Li An Welcome to Shanghai, sir. Daniel **** is...a four-time Oscar nominee for Best Actor. He won the Best Actor Award for two consecutive years...Founded the well-known dd film company and acquired the Hollywood production giant Rice Gaomei Pictures... Filmed hit classic movies such as "Pirates of the Caribbean", "The Lord of the Rings", "Gladiator"... Enthusiastic about charity, is the UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, "Technology Benefit All Living Beings" Foundation The main sponsor and donor of…”

By the time the host broadcasted this series of content, Daniel had already walked more than half of the red carpet.

Whether they know or don't know Daniel's fans, now they all know how awesome this young and handsome American is in front of them! So much so that they think that Li An, who has a very high status in the international film industry, should also be ranked behind him in the introduction.

At this time, the host of the red carpet, Yuan Min, had to beckon to ask the two to leave their names on the autograph board, and an on-site interview was required, although the host had not finished reading Li An's resume in the audio.

Daniel stuck out his tongue at Li An, obviously he was sorry for the delay.

After waiting for about a minute, Yuan Min let out a sigh of relief.

"Welcome to China, Mr. Daniel Sandler. You have been to Beijing, Rongcheng, and Shanghai. What is your impression of China?"

This is a routine problem that any famous foreign person who comes to China has to face.

"Very good, my fans are very enthusiastic, the food in China is great, the development here is unbelievably fast, and I think we are witnessing something amazing in a great country." Daniel chose to answer in Mandarin Yuan Min's question, of course, caused everyone to exclaim.

Because it is really too standard, if Daniel just arrived in the United States and has a little accent due to the structure of his tongue and his pronunciation habits, then his Chinese is basically pure now.

"Ah, your Chinese is amazing."

"Really? The Putonghua proficiency test is Level 1 A?"

Yuan Min, as a top student who graduated from the orthodox broadcasting and hosting major, of course knows what it is. Foreigners like to shake their Chinese knowledge, but Daniel's shaking is too cold.

"You may have heard of the Putonghua proficiency test. Level 1 A is the highest level, and our announcer's requirement is Level 1 A. It seems that Daniel's research on Chinese is really in-depth." Yuan Min felt that she wanted to Let me explain this stalk to everyone. Indeed, after he said it, everyone's impression of Daniel has been greatly improved.

"Director Li An, you just won the Oscar for Best Director this year, congratulations. Everyone cares about your new movie?"

There are many rumors about Li An's new film plan after "Brokeback Mountain". It was not until the end of last month that James Shams of Focus Pictures officially announced that he would shoot Zhang Ailing's "Lust. Caution". So far, The actor is Liang Chaowei by default, but Li An has not let go.

"The new film is going very smoothly, and I will also come to Shanghai to shoot the scene. I hope everyone can support it at that time."

Daniel stood on the side and wanted to laugh a little. Mainland movie fans probably couldn't go to the cinema to support him. Li An should have understood this by now. It's cute to be honest and tell lies without changing his face.

……

Walking in front of them is "Tokyo Trial" which participated in the Asian New Talent Award unit, directed by Uncle Gao Qun, with two young actors Zhu Xiaotian and Lin Xilei. When Daniel and Li An walked on the red carpet, they had not yet come to the end when they heard the cheers from behind, and the supporters introduced the great achievements of Daniel and Li An.

Zhu Xiaotian glanced at Lin Xilei, who was wearing a white evening dress with sloping shoulders and an open back.

"It's quite a coincidence, you can chat later."

He was attracted to Lin Xilei. It was not a secret in the crew, and the pursuit of it was also a semi-public matter. Unfortunately, Lin Xilei never let go. Later, there were also rumors of Daniel and Lin Xilei's scandal - what made Zhu Xiaotian tired is that no media thought that he and Daniel were rivals in love, and no one regarded the two as a heavyweight figure. Those Hong Kong newspapers that were still arguing about their affair the day before turned around and immediately created the illusion that Lin Xilei and Daniel were in love, almost when the previous reports did not exist.

Lin Xilei's mood is not as calm as her face, but she has no intention of paying attention to Zhu Xiaotian's innuendo.

The man behind the much-anticipated man, it's hard not to let her have more ideas~www.readwn.com~ Before she was able to hold her own in Vancouver, the most important reason was the difference in skin color and culture, which made her rule out this idea. possibility. But after the scandal time, and Daniel took the initiative to recognize them as good friends, Lin Xilei inevitably swayed a little.

……

Daniel and Li An entered the Shanghai Concert Hall, which was already full of guests and friends. Many Hollywood colleagues came to say hello to the two of them, except Edward Norton-because he was filming Marvel's "The Incredible Hulk", the important thing is, He once rejected Li An's "Hulk", so it was still a bit awkward to meet.

Hugh Jackman and his wife, Natasha Richardson and Liam Neeson, Andie McDowell, Rachel Weisz and Fernando who had already stepped in.

But after chatting for a while, everyone dispersed. After all, this is not suitable. It seems a bit petty to come to China to participate in the film festival, and then gather a group of American filmmakers.

There were not many activities at the opening ceremony, mainly to present the award to Li An, then announce the opening and the activities for the next ten days, and watch the opening film, this time the Sino-British co-production "The Countess".

Everyone's news points are basically concentrated on the red carpet.

Lin Xilei and Daniel walked the red carpet back and forth. It's hard to say that they didn't have the hands and feet of the organizing committee, but what they did was quite covert. At least there was a well-received Li An in the middle. Unfortunately, Daniel didn't appreciate it, so the next day's news was more There are a lot of scandal reports, but they are also self-inflicted. (To be continued.)
